Chapter 143, Farm Tragedy

"We seem to be surrounded!" Ding Xiu observed the situation outside from the window high in the warehouse.

"How many kill, how many kill!" Gu Beimo said.

"You see, the number of these cassowaries will not be less than a thousand." Ding Xiu pointed out the window, "It's a little tricky." ”

"What?! A thousand?! Gu Beimo's eyes widened, and he climbed the iron ladder to the window, "!" How could it be so much. ”

When he was outside before, he only thought that these cassowaries were only a few hundred at most, but just now after seeing for himself, what Ding Xiu said was true.

Shen You went to the back carriage and released the silver coin, this silverback orangutan had already been alarmed by the cassowary outside the warehouse, it was very angry like Gu Beimo, and couldn't wait to teach those "big quails" a lesson.

The smell of dust fills the warehouse, which was once used to store goods, but now it is empty, except for grass clippings.

Ding Xiu observed the situation in the warehouse, and suddenly thought of something, he went back to the car and took out a biometric recognizer, put it on his ear, and climbed up to the window again.

"Sure enough." The information reported in the biometric identifier was the same as Ding Xiu had guessed just now, that these cassowaries had mutated.

"These casscrews are F-class mutants?" The companions were a little incredulous.

"Maybe that's why they attacked us all of a sudden." Song Xijun said: "And this can also explain why there is no figure on the farm." ”

"But...... Aren't they bred in captivity? Why does it mutate? Shen You was a little puzzled.

"I don't understand that." Song Xijun shook his head and looked at Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo.

"The truth doesn't matter to us for the time being, and it's imperative that we get out of here." Ding Xiu said to his companions: "Let's try to shoot them with guns first, if we can scare off these firebirds, it's best if we can't......"

"What if you can't be scared away?" Gu Beimo asked.

"Then you can only use cold weapons in melee combat." Ding Xiu smiled helplessly, "If we rely on shooting, it will consume most of our ammunition, and ammunition is the most difficult material to replenish on the road." ”

"Then even if it's me, damn it, Lao Tzu should still be able to use a knife." Gu Beimo was eager to try.

"Huhu~Huhu~" The silver coin beat his chest, signaling that he would also join the war.

"You, protect the two of them." Ding Xiu patted the silver coin's arm and told it his arrangement with a gesture.

The four of them discussed, and first Ding Xiu, Gu Beimo, and Song Xijun each occupied a window position and shot at the mutant cassowary outside.

The cassowaries outside were crowded together, surrounding the warehouse, and it was not difficult to aim when shooting.

The firebirds that had been hit by the bullets only shook slightly, and the sound of the gunfire made them agitated, and some began to pound the warehouse doors.

"Shut the door with your car." Ding Xiu shouted at Gu Beimo.

"I'll go." Gu Beimo put down the gun and climbed down the stairs to drive.

"Xijun, aim at the head of the fire-eaters, the bullet will not hurt their bodies much." Ding Xiu observed the firebirds that had been shot, and found that when the bullets hit them, it often took dozens of rounds to get one to fall to the ground.

"Understood." Song Xijun responded.

At the bottom of the stairs, Gu Beimo drove the two off-road pickup trucks to the door and pressed them against the door of the warehouse. Then he ran back to the window above the stairs, grabbed his gun and continued shooting.

There was a burst of gunfire, and the cassopena outside the warehouse fell like mowed wheat, and Ding Xiu and the three of them picked their heads to shoot, so that the ratio of bullets to the consumption of the casshouaries was greatly improved.

These mutant cassowaries are irritable but also intelligent, and when they see their companions fall one by one, they begin to spread out farther around, and a few know how to hide behind some obstacles.

"Fuck, they're all cum?!" Gu Beimo missed a few bullets in a row, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

The mutant fire-eaters began to deliberately dodge bullets from the direction of the warehouse, they could not see the trajectory, but they had learned to find a hidden position. When more cassourowaries start moving, aiming is not an easy task.

The efficiency of killing mutant fire-eating birds has decreased a lot, and Ding Xiu and the others can't help but become a little anxious.

The silver coin was walking around the warehouse, suddenly turning to a certain location, jumping and jumping there.

"What's wrong, Silver?" Shen You walked towards it and asked with some curiosity.

"HO~HO~" The silver coin pointed at his feet, and then leaned down, slapping the ground incessantly.

"You mean there's something down there?" Shen You was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hurriedly shouted at Ding Xiu and them: "Come here, everyone, the silver coin seems to have found something." ”

When Ding Xiu and the others heard the news, they hurriedly climbed down the stairs from the window and rushed over together.

"What's wrong?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Here." Shen You pointed to the ground, "Just now, the silver coin kept tapping at this position, and it said that there was something underneath. ”

Shen You's words made everyone immediately vigilant, Ding Xiu motioned for the silver coin to step aside, and he lay on the ground and brushed away the grass clippings in that place.

"This board is moving!" Ding Xiu found a crowbar from the car, cut a hole in the gap in the edge of the plank, and then stuck the crowbar there and began to knock on the plank.

The plank loosened, and Ding Xiu gestured to his companions, and everyone understood, and the weapons in their hands were aimed there.

With a "clang", the heavy board was turned over, revealing a square hole underneath.

A foul smell hit the nostrils, choking everyone back.

Hearing screams from inside the cave, Ding Xiu was sure that there was someone underneath.

He told the coin to go back to the carriage and hide from him, and then yelled into the cave, "Get out! ”

The people in the cave were silent, and after a few moments, a few unfamiliar faces appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The faces were old and young, their eyes were terrified, their faces were dirty, and their complexions were extremely bad.

"Fireshoury......" An old man was pulled out of the cave by Gu Beimo, and he said to Ding Xiu tremblingly.

"Those cassophoraries are out there." Ding Xiu pursed his lips outside the warehouse, his eyes kept looking at the people pulled up by Gu Beimo.

Hearing that the cassowararies were all outside, the old man shuddered, and instinctively bent down to flee back to the cave.

"They can't get in, it's safe here for now." Ding Xiu stopped the old man, and helped Gu Beimo pull out the rest of the people in the cave.

There were more than a dozen people in the warehouse at once, and Gu Beimo couldn't help but rub his nose when he saw that they were dirty all over their bodies, and they still emitted a foul smell.

"What the hell is going on on the farm?" Ding Xiu looked at their embarrassed appearances one by one, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

A child suddenly cried, and the people next to her quickly covered her mouth, for fear that her crying would annoy the people with guns.

"Let her cry for a while, it's okay." Song Xijun felt a little pity for that child, knowing that she was very depressed in the environment under this warehouse, and she couldn't help herself when she returned to the ground.

"The cassowaries that we have on our farm...... They eat people, and many people are eaten by them! Everyone looked anxious, and when someone saw Song Xijun's kind face, they plucked up the courage to ask: "Who are you, can you save us?" ”

"We're just passing through here." Ding Xiu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "If you want to be rescued, you have to cooperate with us and tell us everything that happened here before." ”

"Good, good!" Hearing the hope of being rescued, the faces of those people showed joy.

"We are called Sangzhi Town here, a few years ago we followed the mayor Guo Dawei to raise firebirds, he said that the animal he introduced is very docile, easy to raise, and can be sold for a good price."

Guo Dawei's words have always been more reliable, and the big guy also trusts him, so he raises him with him. The rye grass planted in the field is also taught by him, and we haven't worried about the sales or anything, anyway, there is really money to be made with him. ”

"Later, I don't know when it started, these cassavarants became a little irritable, not to mention eating too much, and they were bigger than the previous batches. Guo Dawei said that it was the reason for the feed, and he could sell it for more money, so everyone didn't pay attention to it. ”

"The cassowaries are kept in the pen, and when we are fed, we can use a forage fork and fork a handful of ryegrass into the pen, and we are usually careful and safe."

"Later ......"

"What happened next?" Seeing that the man began to talk and stopped, Ding Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that the cause of the problem might be in the following words of the word "later".

"Later, some of these casshouaries were not quite big, so we went to Guo Dawei to talk about it, but he told us not to worry, saying that the bigger the head, the better, and he would like to sell one for two."

"How big is it?" Ding Xiu thought of the fire-eating birds he had seen before, they were all about the same size, and none of them were particularly different.

"The average casspreary is about as tall as an adult, but we basically raise it for two meters, and some even exceed two and a half meters." The villager continued: "At that time, we all thought it was a little incredible, and we thought that the water and soil in Sangzhi Town were good, but who knew that it would be a disaster. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that the firebird has grown so big?" Song Xijun asked at them.

When the survivors on the farm heard this, some of them lowered their heads and looked ashamed.

"Of course I think it's weird." The old man who was the first to climb out of the cave nodded his head: "But the income is much higher than before, and everyone is not good at talking, and Guo Dawei always swears to tell us that there is no problem." ”

"Uncle Tao, could it be that there is a problem with the few cassowaries that Mayor Guo brought back to breed?" A young man next to him suddenly spoke: "Then I thought they were bigger than the cassowaries on our farm, but considering that they are used for breeding, it is normal to pick a big one, so I didn't think much about it." ”

"Could it be that the fire-eating birds that have been bred have already mutated?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Ding Xiu's mind, and a possibility suddenly came to mind.

"Maybe it is." Gu Beimo slapped his chin and said, "You mayor, you are really a fucking talent, and you can think of this kind of bad idea." ”
