Chapter 172: Plateau Rangers
Xu Yi left the three eastern provinces and came to the southern Mongolia region, a province with an area of 90 percent plateaus, mountains, and hills, with an average altitude of about 1,000 meters, and the living environment can be described as very harsh.
But it is precisely because of the harsh environment that it is easy for people here to avoid zombies and trap zombies in various terrains
This is also the only base in the Xia Kingdom that did not have a city wall, but it is also the place with the least number of surviving people, and all the people live on the plateau.
Those who survive are all tested by the cruel environment, everyone is a good hand at survival, and three or five people can hunt a mutated beast, relying on traps and teamwork.
Of course, they also have a lot of capable people, and the proportion of capable people is quite high, and one out of every five people who survive is a capable person.
Zombies here are concentrated in urban areas and rural areas, but there are almost no traces of zombies on the remote plateaus.
The only thing that can threaten the lives of the survivors is the ferocious mutant beast.
……
"Gan, this? Did you poke a rat's nest? Qu Wenliang complained as he ran.
"Who let your idle egg kick it, it's good, people called someone to come, but you coaxed it." Zhu Ruolin rolled her eyes and said.
The matter goes back to ten minutes ago, Xu Yi and the others were walking on the plateau, and it happened that a big mouse came out of a hole in the ground where Qu Wenliang was passing, which was about the same size as a basketball.
Qu Wenliang was startled by the mouse that suddenly came out, and his first reaction was to raise a kick and kick it out.
Then the rat rolled around on the ground a few times, and when it stopped shaking its head, it realized that it had been beaten.
I'm a dignified rat boss, it's not good to come out to bask in the sun, and you dare to kick me, give it to me!
These words are purely cerebral supplements, in fact, the mouse squeaks twice, but the sound is very loud.
Then the ground began to tremble slightly, and it felt like an earthquake was coming, but I didn't expect it to be the sound of the rat army.
From holes in the ground, countless rats of all sizes emerged, with the same posture as Gatling's bullets.
Xu Yi and they were scared on the spot, phew, were they scared and almost besieged, or did Xu Yi slash out a few lightning bolts and kill a road.
As for why they didn't flee into space, it was because there were so many rats, almost like the locust plague.
Once the space door is opened, it will not be able to close because of the steady stream of rats, and Xu Yi is not like his own space has become a place for rats.
In this way, Xu Yi and they escaped for more than ten minutes, and the rats chased them for more than ten minutes.
"That's too much grudge." Qu Wenliang said.
"Why don't we hand over Qu Wenliang, so that we can calm their anger." Chang Zeyan said seriously.
The others looked serious and thoughtful, and it seemed that it was really possible to throw Qu Wenliang out.
"Don't be silent, I didn't mean to kick it, it scared me first." Qu Wenliang said aggrievedly.
"It can't go on like this, there are more and more rats, and there will be rats in front of you." Xu Yi said, and then glanced at Qu Wenliang meaningfully.
Qu Wenliang was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva, and he couldn't wait to leave this group of treacherous teammates now.
"Can you find their leader?" Xu Yi asked.
"Are you the one Qu Wenliang kicked in?" Zhu Ruolin asked.
"It doesn't have to be that, but it has to be the most striking of the rats." Xu Yi said.
"Okay, I'll look for it." Zhu Ruolin used her ability to turn into a crow and fly up.
From above, patches are black-gray, with occasional browns.
"I'm dazzled, I can't find which one is the leader!" Zhu Ruolin complained, but still carefully looked for suspicious targets.
Eventually, a rat at the back of the line caught her eye, as it was a bit arrogant.
It is all golden, like a sculpture made of pure gold.
"Found you." Zhu Ruolin said excitedly.
Then she fluttered her wings and returned to Xu Yi's side, turning back into the prototype.
"Found it, a golden mouse, but at the back of the line." Zhu Ruolin said.
In the big back? That's a bit tricky.
The plan for the decapitation could not be carried out, and the only way to escape was to continue.
At this time, several figures appeared in front of them, particularly tall and strangely shaped.
"This, it seems, is it a man on horseback?" Xu Yi said with some uncertainty.
"Yes." Fu Hu confirmed.
There were sixteen men in all, all on tall horses, each with a bow and spear, and a sword hanging from his waist.
The speed of the horses ridden by this group of people was comparable to that of a sports car, and with a swish, they came to Xu Yi's side, and each of them reached out and dragged them to the horse.
Xu Yi and they naturally won't resist, and the other party obviously helped them out of the siege.
"If you have any questions, let's wait until we get to a safe place." The man in front of Xu Yi said.
Xu Yi snorted and didn't have any words.
The speed of the horse is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the rat tide is out of sight.
When the rat tide saw that the enemy Rao had disappeared, it no longer chased after him.
Because it was not the first time they had encountered this group of people riding big horses, and they couldn't catch up with them at any time.
When the group of men on horseback saw that there were no rats behind them, they also tightened the reins to stop the horses.
Xu Yi and they turned over and dismounted, the man on the horse was majestic and majestic, cough, they also got off the horse.
"You're from out of town, we're not going to hike across the plateau you just walked through." The man came down and arrived.
Xu Yi smiled awkwardly, not only that, just by looking at the costumes, he knew that they were from outside.
"Yes, we're from outside." Xu Yi said.
"Yes." The man stretched out his hand, as if asking for something.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is asking for a reward, just their reward.
This kind of request is understandable, although Xu Yi is also confident that he can get rid of the rat tide, but since people help out, it is also appropriate to ask for compensation.
"Shaoheng, give them some food from the backpack." Xu Yi said.
Meng Shaoheng took down the big mountaineering bag, took out ten packs of compressed biscuits and ten cans of canned food, and handed them to the man on horseback.
The man's face suddenly became happy, these things can indeed be, especially canned food, which is of relatively high value.
On the plateau they never lacked meat to eat, but vegetables and fruits were scarce.
Five cans of fruit can be exchanged for several cows.
The man's attitude towards Xu Yi and them suddenly improved, and he said kindly: "Do you want to go to our residence to rest for a while?" ”
"Okay."
Xu Yi also wanted to find a place to rest, and the man's invitation was exactly what he wanted.
