"Grandpa, this is the ninth."

Sang Yu jumped over from the wall and looked at the mutated big yellow dog that fell not far from Grandpa Meng's feet.

"Mulberry, remember, in hunting, you can live better than your prey. If you don't have a prey, you can run, and if you can't run, you can fight, and maybe you can live. ”

"Grandpa, I know, I just can't sit still."

"Yes." Lao Meng nodded, loaded the iron arrow, and shot at another wild dog chasing after him.

Sang Yu set her eyes on the wild dogs running around in the square, grandma has gone to the cave, can she watch Jing Zhan and her eldest brother?

If only she had grown up a little more, she would have been able to kill wild dogs herself to protect her grandparents and brothers.

Another flash of blood, and a wild dog fell to the ground.

Grandpa Meng leaned against the wall and gasped, no, when he was old, he killed a few wild dogs and gasped. I think that at the beginning, not to mention a group of brutes, even mutated people, he also met his comrades.

"Sangyu, you come down to the wall, grandpa breathes a sigh of relief."

Grandpa Meng leaned against the wall and gasped, Sang Yu climbed on the wall and rode steadily, and reached out to pull Grandpa Meng: "Grandpa, you come up, give me the crossbow, and I will kill the wild dogs for Grandpa." ”

A small hand, still very immature, just stretched out from the top of the wall and issued a silent invitation. It's like telling grandpa, grandpa, I can protect you too, believe me.

Grandpa Meng really turned over the wall with this little hand, sat behind Sang Yu, untied the crossbow on his wrist, and tied it to his granddaughter's wrist: "Okay, I'll also see how my eldest granddaughter's head is." ”

This crossbow was originally made by his grandfather for Meng Qinghu, and it was very small, and Sang Yu also played with it. But you don't usually use iron arrows, they are all ordinary arrows, and it's no problem to shoot a pheasant or hare.

Sang Yu raised her wrist and pointed at the wild dog running in the distance, closer, closer, she silently recited in her heart what her grandfather usually taught him. Within 100 meters - the best range, while she is small and weak, the best distance is within 50 meters.

Sang Yu silently thought in his heart: "Five-four-three-two-one." With a buzz, crossbows and arrows shot out, hitting the left crotch of the wild dog that was running. The wild dog was pushed unsteadily by the huge thrust and fell to the ground, blood pooling and flowing.

Sang Yu, who was knocked into his grandfather's arms by the force of the crossbow, let out a frustrated sigh: "Grandpa, it's not dead yet." ”

She looked up at her grandfather, asking if she wanted to make up another arrow, or if she would leave it to fend for itself.

"Be careful."

Grandpa Meng shouted loudly and kicked Sang Yu into the courtyard with one kick, but he raised his fist and struck the wild dog that jumped on the wall from the wall to the ground with one fist.

"Sang Yu, you didn't do a good job this time, knowing that it didn't die, you should make up for another arrow."

Sang Yu's small body was still lying in the yard, and she lowered her head sadly: "Got it, grandpa." ”

Lao Meng looked at Sang Yu who was lying on the ground and didn't get up, and was a little afraid in his heart, whether his kick just now was too heavy, and whether he would fall and hurt if he kicked Sang Yu.

"Grandpa, I hear a lot of strange sounds."

Sang Yu, who was kicked into the yard by his grandfather and lay on the ground, did not cry, but put his ear on the ground and carefully distinguished the direction from which the sound came.

The wind stirs the leaves with a subtle rustling sound.

Amid the sound of the wind stirring the leaves, Sang Yu heard a different sound, as if something was running on the smooth ground. Faster and closer.

"Grandpa, quick, pull me up."

Sang Yu stretched out her hand to her grandfather, and her small body was once again pulled up by her grandfather and stood on the wall.

Standing on the wall, Sang Yu looked at the west of the town, where there was a smooth road, which was the only way for everyone to leave the town and return to the town. The four-lane road glows dark, greasy in the May sun.

Mulberry's two small ears protruded from her hair and stood up straight. She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she saw something running towards the town, but unfortunately it was too far away and short to see clearly.

"Grandpa, take me to the roof."

Grandpa Meng picked up Sang Yu and ran to the roof, he knew that Sang Yu was different from other children and had special abilities.

The roofs of the towns are equipped with solar tubes, which are cleverly embedded in the middle of the glazed tiles, which look like people have specially made up decorations. But I don't know that this is a necessary item for everyone's life, the era of relying on hydropower and thermal power has long passed, and the current town residents basically live as long as there is wind and sunshine, and they do not have to worry about not having electricity.

Grandpa Meng's feet stepped on the glazed tiles and stood on the roof, no matter whether the family would come back or not, he couldn't step on his family's solar tubes at will. If one day, this family wants to come back, as long as there is no problem with the solar tube, his family can put up a protective cover in the fastest time, and as long as there are enough materials in the protective cover, they can avoid most of the damage from the outside world.

Sang Yu was picked up by her grandfather and put on her neck to look into the distance, what did she see? There were no pedestrians or vehicles to be seen on the main road, and a large group of wilder wild dogs were galloping from the main road in the direction of the town.

"Grandpa, it's a bunch of dogs, what's chasing them?"

"What is it? Take a closer look and don't miss it. ”

Grandpa Meng pricked up his ears to listen, but he didn't hear any movement, and raised his head to look. He is old, and his vision has deteriorated greatly, and he can't compare with Sang Yu, who is only five years old. All he could see was the glaring reflection on the asphalt road.

On the asphalt road, there was a white flower of light, and a group of things like waves were wriggling. Wave after wave, chasing after the dogs, as if they were about to drown them.

"Grandpa is an ant, a white ant, and a lot of ants are running after the dogs. Sang Yu clenched his fists and stretched out in front of Grandpa Meng's eyes: "Probably, how big is my fist." ”

The dogs, which were slow to run, were soon devoured by the ant colony and turned into a pile of bones, and the direction of the wild dogs was this town with a population of only a few tens of thousands.

Termite?

Grandpa Meng remembered that when he was in the Self-Defense Force, he also encountered a termite influx. There was not a single grass left in the place, and the vegetation in the field was devoured by this horrible group of creatures.

Grandpa Meng jumped off the courtyard wall, found the emergency starter at the courtyard gate, and shouted inside: "Everyone come into the house, turn on the protection, and enter the first-level alert state." ”

Lao Meng's voice left the town, and those who had originally run out to kill wild dogs retracted their weapons one by one and ran towards their small buildings, and the sky above one small building after another was shrouded in transparent protective shields.

No one asked what was going on, and at this time, it would be extremely dangerous to let Lao Meng say that he was on first-level alert. This is also the first time that the town has activated the first-level alert state since the town was established.

Time is life, from the moment Grandpa Meng said the first-level alert state, everyone will enter their houses in the shortest possible time and open the protective shield.

Grandpa Meng ran home with Sang Yu around his neck, and just climbed over the wall of a house. Grandpa remembered something again, and stopped, he turned his head to look at the road west of the town. In his eyes, the road was still smooth at the moment, that is, he could not see the wild dogs running frantically, nor could he see the termites following the wild dogs.

"Sangyu, are we going home or are we going to find grandma and brothers on the mountain?"

Sang Yu's eyes kept staring at the road west of the town, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Go find grandma, those wild dogs came up from the town." ”

"Okay."

Grandpa Meng did not hesitate to climb out of the courtyard wall with Sang Yu and run to the back mountain, at this moment, he was more willing to guard his grandchildren with his wife.

There is only a few hundred meters from the town to the back mountain, and with Grandpa Meng's speed, it can only take a few minutes to run into the mountain and hide in the cave he has built for several years.

As soon as he entered the cave and pressed the shield, he was not afraid of anything.

After a few leaps, Grandpa Meng had already run to the foot of the mountain, and soon, they were going into the mountain to be with Grandma Meng and the children. Sang Yu always looked in the direction of the west of the town, where the road passed in front of the town and headed east to another town.

If the wild dogs do not enter the town, but run along the road, they will run to the next town, the town of the ninth district.

"Grandpa, what if the dog doesn't enter the town and goes to the town of the ninth district?"

Sang Yu's words were like a command, forcefully pressing the brake button on Grandpa Meng's footsteps.

"Sangyu, how long will it take for those dogs to arrive?"

"A few minutes, huh?"

Sang Yu replied with some hesitation, she had learned calculations from her brothers and grandfather, speed risk control and the changes that would occur in it, but she always calculated inaccurately because of her young age.

However, she was sure that at the speed of a pack of dogs, it would take at least a few minutes to reach the town.

Grandpa Meng pulled Sang Yu off his shoulder: "You go into the mountain to find grandma, and grandpa goes to inform the residents of Jiuzhen District." ”

There are 12 modern towns built near Daxing Mountain, with a population of more than 700,000 in 12 towns. All the small towns live around the mountains, each guarding one side and they rarely come and go. In this age of limited resources, there is a high chance that you will be mistaken for plundering when you go to someone else's land.

The plundering at this time is not only about supplies, but also about fresh air and unpolluted soil.

An asphalt road passes in front of the towns and leads to the largest city, the Windy City, a hundred kilometers away. That was the city where Meng Tingxuan was located, rich in materials and with a large population.

But many old people and children have fled the city, and they need more fresh air and crops growing on their own in unpolluted soil.

Residents of the Nine Towns were notified to go to the town's Civic Square, where there is an emergency contact button that leads to the townships. From here to the town, and then back to the mountains, I am afraid that there is not enough time.

Grandpa Meng shouted while running towards the town: "Sangyu, enter the mountain, don't wait for grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, be careful."

Sang Yu's voice echoed in the air, and the figure of his grandfather had disappeared into the protective shield of the town, running towards the civic square in the center of the town.

Looking at the disappearing figure of his grandfather, Sang Yu looked at the mountain behind him again.

Do you want to go into the mountains or wait?

Soon, a small figure climbed the tallest tree at the foot of the mountain, and Sang Yu decided to climb a little higher to take a look.

She wanted to see where the dogs and termites would end up.

Is it the town of District 8 where they live, or is it running to District 9 a few kilometers away, or going further away?
