Chapter Twenty-Eight: In Search of the Sea
In Sun Moon City, there are seven Mother Stone Divisions, except for the pharmacy one, the other six lead to Hengman Island.
Hundreds of large warehouses were built in the city, and food and other supplies were piled up.
Within three months, it can meet the supply of Sun Moon City.
In the warehouse of Sun Moon City, there are also rice, flour, etc., but there are not many of them.
Most of the grain is a kind of bean, which is snow-white in color and is called the Lost Valley.
The valley is swollen when cooked and is as big as a thumb nail.
The staple food of the caracal people is this kind of bean.
The simple method is boiled in water, and the complex method is to grind the beans into flour and make them into a variety of foods.
After fermentation, it can make wine, which is not strong or alcohol, and is similar to the wine produced in other cities.
Eat, as long as it is a smart creature, it will conjure up all kinds of tricks.
The only trouble is that there is an open-pit iron mine in Sun Moon City, which can smelt thousands of catties of raw iron every day.
Most of the pig iron needs to be transported out of Sun Moon City through the Mother Stone Division.
Every ten days, through the mother stone division, opposite, there are caracal people to accept.
Once the pig iron is not shipped out after ten days, there must be doubts on the opposite side of the mother stone division, and someone will definitely be sent over to ask the reason.
At the moment, there is no particularly good way to deal with it, so you can only use static braking.
Defend the six Mother Stone Divisions leading to the outside of Hengman Island, and once a Heavenly Caracal crosses over, they will be arrested immediately.
After thinking about it, Wu Fanyang thought of Youtian City again. There, a steady stream of rice, flour, and other fine food was supplied to the army and numerous cities.
It's just that the secret is still in the hands of the princess.
Only by unlocking this secret can we have a preliminary understanding of the scene outside the six Mother Stone Divisions.
Wu Fanyang decided that it was time to communicate with the princess.
Sun Moon City, after Bian You swore allegiance to Wu Fanyang, he ascended to the throne of the city lord.
In addition to the three thousand crossbowmen formed by the free men.
Six hundred men, one hundred guns, and five hundred crossbowmen were left in each of the Mother Stone Divisions.
Sun Moon City can rest assured that it will be managed by Bian You, but the mother stone division must be firmly controlled in his hands.
……
……
Five days later, the four convoys set off from Dingzhuo City and sped in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest.
Each fleet, twenty pickup trucks, twenty heavy trucks.
After the pickup, five heavy machine guns were installed, carrying light mortars.
Heavy trucks, carrying a large amount of supplies such as diesel fuel and ammunition.
Each convoy, one color gold mountain gunners, two hundred people.
Wu Fanyang and Lu Tao to the west.
The purpose of the four convoys was to confirm what the leader of the Caracal people said.
Hengman Island, is it an island?
All around, is not the sea.
The convoy has been traveling for two days.
To the west, three thousand miles were sailed.
Along the way, the endless Gobi Desert is extremely desolate, and it is rare to see even a shrub.
"Boss, do you know how I'm feeling right now?"
"What?"
"I feel like I'm on the moon."
"Yes, it's too desolate."
"Boss, we're lucky, if Jinshan City falls here, it'll be over."
"I didn't last a month, and they all died. Well, Lu Tao, you reminded me, let's pay attention to the lookout and see if there is a city. ”
"Boss, there won't be one here."
"It's hard to say, although the surroundings are desolate, if there is that blue light wall, maybe you can live well. The several cities around Youtian City rely on this. ”
"Boss, I know it's hard for you to ask your sister-in-law ......"
"Well, yes, that's her last guarantee."
"Then forget it, let's go directly to the Mother Stone Division in Sun Moon City and take a look. With the strength of the Heavenly Caracal people, they can't help us. ”
"Lu Tao, do you remember what the city lord said, there are 'gods' behind them, and they are gods who live in the Tianshan Mountains, and I suspect that they are a race with a developed level of science and technology."
"Boss, are you afraid of luring wolves into the house?"
"It's much harder to live than to die in this bird place."
Lu Tao sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Wu Fanyang sat in the back seat.
The two held binoculars and looked into the distance while discussing.
The suzerainty where Hengman Island is located has a population of one billion. If all fifty suzerains were like this, there would be 50 billion people.
A terrible force.
What's even more terrifying is that they are just slaves of God.
Behind it, there is a power so powerful that 50 billion people are afraid.
One wrong step, twenty-eight cities, 20 million people, will be crushed in an instant.
……
……
Ten days later, the convoy had traveled thousands of miles.
The air seems to be moistened.
The temperature is also much higher than that of Dingzhuocheng.
On the gravel floor, shrubs and other plants gradually appeared.
Even, I saw rats the size of cats, running around.
No city has been found.
"Report to the boss, there's a big bird flying in the air."
Someone at the front of the convoy shouted through the telematics.
"Okay, stay observed."
In the air, a large cloud suddenly surged, and in a moment, it rained heavily.
Visibility is much lower.
The convoy slowed down.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wipers were too late to sweep away the rain that was pouring down from the windshield.
The convoy barely moved forward for seven or eight minutes, stopping and waiting for the rain to pass.
Lu Tao climbed onto the roof of the heavy truck with a telescope, the rain was too heavy, and he had a sense of foreboding.
In the distance, several long black shadows caught his attention.
The black shadow seemed to move quickly towards the convoy.
, what's that?
"Brother Tao, is there a situation?"
The driver of the heavy truck poked his head out and asked loudly.
"Inform the boss that there is a beast attacking on the left side of the convoy."
Lu Tao didn't dare to be careless.
After a moment, Wu Fanyang ran over.
"See what?"
"I don't know, a few dark shadows, coming towards the convoy. It's strange, it's a long one, is it a python? ”
On the top of the front and rear heavy trucks, two captains also climbed.
"Boss, it looks like a python."
"It's a long time."
"Get out of the car and get the truck in a circle."
After some panic, dozens of heavy trucks surrounded a fortification. Several pickup trucks loaded with heavy machine guns were facing outwards with their muzzles pointed forward.
"Boss,, what is that, it's dozens of meters long."
"Prepare for battle."
Two hundred people, all climbed into the heavy trucks, staring nervously ahead.
"Aang! Rise! Rise! ”
The rainstorm has gradually decreased, and the visibility has improved a lot.
Hundreds of meters ahead, more than a dozen black python-like reptiles were swimming quickly towards the convoy.
One is more than 30 meters long.
"Six hundred meters."
"Five hundred meters."
"Four hundred meters."
"Heavy machine gun fire."
"Dada......"
"Squeak ......"
"Squeak ......"
Bursts of screams came.
Heavy machine gun bullets mercilessly burrowed into their bodies.
The last one, more than a hundred meters away from the convoy, turned its belly and did not move.
No matter how big or long it is, it can't withstand the huge sub-rounds of the heavy machine gun.
"Stop shooting."
Lu Tao shouted.
The rain stopped.
A thick smell of blood came to my nose.
Reptiles, apparently not pythons.
The body is flat, with a layer of scale armor on the surface, and there are no limbs, and the longest is more than forty meters.
The head, triangular, with a pair of snow-white horns, and the thick hands and shoulders, one meter long.
Wu Fanyang pulled out the dagger and knocked it, making a crisp sound.
"Boss, can you eat meat?"
"I don't know, but it's rare for the brothers to cut it down and take it away."
"It's a pity, so much meat."
"Come on, it's better not to eat."
The two captains, with their men, slashed with axes.
Twelve pairs of white horns are loaded into the heavy-duty truck carriage.
This group of monsters came from a very strange way, Wu Fanyang and the others didn't dare to stay longer, and as soon as the horn was taken, the convoy continued to move forward.
