Chapter 813: Spoils of War
"On February 17, it was cloudy.
Xiao Wang still hasn't come back, I think he may have encountered some trouble, no matter, if he hasn't come back tonight, I'll have to go out to find it, I'm older than him, I'm old, he's still young! ”
When Lin Xiao saw this, he was already a little moved, the rangers are all old and new, a young man in his twenties, and a veteran in his fifties, basically all belong to the standard partner.
Continue to look down, from February 18 to February 20, there was no diary record for three days, and when I turned through the diary on the 17th, I jumped directly to the 21st.
"February 21st, cloudy!
I didn't find Xiao Wang, but I found his satchel and clothes fabric, oh my God, what the hell happened?! He was still so young, less than a year after he had been in this wooded area, how sad would his parents be if something happened to him? I can't wait any longer, I have to ask for help, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go! ”
After that, Lin Xiao didn't see any records, that is to say, on February 22, the owner of this diary left this station with a mission to ask for help.
And this also relieved Lin Xiao that there was no one patrolling this forest area.
Wait a minute! Lin Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, from here to the outside world, more than eighty kilometers of mountain roads, even if you can only walk thirty kilometers a day, six days is enough for one round trip.
What's more, after the rangers here take out the information that the team members are in distress, the rescue forces from the outside world will definitely not walk in, even if there are no conditions for helicopters to land, but parachuting can always be done, right?
Could it be that the owner of this diary was too old to be allowed to return with the rescue force?
But that's not right! I didn't find any traces of search and rescue at all!
Shaking his head, Lin Xiao had more and more headaches, he even felt that he might as well not be reborn, fighting with the zombie army on the interstellar battlefield, fighting with the Antai clan, even if it was the unknown fleet that had just been discovered, it was even more devastating to not know anything now.
Suddenly, there was a low wail outside the house, and Lin Xiao remembered the old wolf who was placed at the door, and hurriedly walked out of the second floor and looked towards the courtyard gate.
The old wolf had woken up, and he was staring nervously at the forest not far away, his eyes shining green, and his body trembling.
This is? Is there any danger looming? Lin Xiao chuckled in his heart, but he still picked up the old wolf and came to the room on the second floor, he was not going to live on the first floor, there was an iron door in the stairwell of each station, which was to prevent wild beasts from entering the station at night and bringing danger to the rangers.
Lin Xiao also deliberately looked at the iron door, which was much stronger than expected, at least it was not significantly loosened after shaking it vigorously.
"Okay, okay, stop screaming, it's safe here!" Lin Xiao comforted the old wolf like this, and he found the stove on the second floor, took some firewood from the corridor on the second floor, and raised the stove.
The flames gradually rose, bringing precious warmth to Lin Xiao in this humid night.
The bacon has been eaten, and there are only a few compressed biscuits and two starch-flavored ham sausages without any meat content in Lin Xiao's bag, which is the cheapest kind on the outside market, with more than 200 in a box, and it is only about 20 yuan.
Throwing the compressed biscuits into the lunch box and boiling with water, Lin Xiao slowly broke open a ham sausage, pinched it into small pieces with his hands, and laughed at the old wolf by the way: "I know you are still very weak, but I really don't have meat for you now, the ham sausage is to make do with it, if you can get better, remember to get me some pheasants and hares or something!" ”
The old wolf obviously didn't understand Lin Xiao's words, but it could feel from Lin Xiao's smile that Lin Xiao didn't have any ill will towards it, plus the bacon stewed before alleviated the hungry state, and his mental state was very full at this time.
"Woo......" The old wolf's voice was no longer so high-pitched, low, like a husky, and he stretched his head on Lin Xiao's trouser leg and rubbed it back and forth, coquettishness is really the instinct of every creature.
"I said, old fellow, you don't think you're treating me like one kind, are you?" Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, even if it was a dog, it couldn't be raised so quickly, right? Is it because this wave is smarter? Know that you won't starve if you please yourself? Or is it that you are used to feeding the wild wolves in the forest area in charge of yourself, and you have the smell of wolves?
But these are not important, with the company of this old wolf, Lin Xiao feels that it is good to feel that he does not have to talk to himself to exercise his language skills!
After eating, a man and a wolf fell asleep like this, Lin Xiao didn't sleep well, he dreamed a lot of things this night, and it was messy.
The next morning, Lin Xiao was woken up by the wolf's howl, but when he looked around for the old wolf, he found that the old wolf was not on the second floor, but jumped down the staircase partition wall, and was standing at the gate of the courtyard and howling at the forest!
"I'm going? How can you jump on a partition wall of more than two meters?! Lin Xiao was a little speechless, this wolf is quite powerful!
While muttering in his mouth, Lin Xiao took apart the thick log of the arm of the top door in the staircase, but when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he was stunned by the scene outside the door!
The old wolf, who had just recovered some vitality, was even more injured at this time, and there were five or six corpses of various animals lying on the ground, some were wild wolves, some were strange monkeys, and even Lin Xiao saw a wild bear whose neck had been bitten off!
Obviously, these things came here last night, but they were discovered by the old wolf and killed on the spot one by one!
"I said old fellow, it's all your trophies?!" Lin Xiao was a little confused, this Nima is amazing? A wolf that killed a wild bear?!
Surprised, Lin Xiao began to hurriedly run to the old wolf, wanting to check the old wolf's situation.
But he had just taken two steps forward, but he didn't dare to move on!
Because he saw that on the neck of the old wolf, on the skin of a piece of hair that had fallen off, the wound was tinged with a strange gray ** color!
Hurriedly turned his head to look at the animal carcasses on the ground, Lin Xiao was immediately struck by lightning!
There is nothing unusual about these corpses at a cursory glance, but if you look closely, although there are quite a lot of corpses, there is no blood on the ground, but they are all gray-white slime!
And these corpses are even more corrupted to varying degrees, with various scars on their bodies, their muscles are not half bloody, and both new and old wounds are covered with a layer of gray-white mucus that has begun to solidify!
And their deaths are very consistent, most of their necks are bitten off, or like the wild bear, their heads are completely bitten off......
"Wouldn't it? Could it be that kind of virus ......" Lin Xiao chuckled in his heart, wouldn't he be so unlucky? Lao Tzu was reborn and didn't let me go? But the problem is, I'm a mortal in this life! Even the slightly stronger of the mortals can beat me to death!
"Whew......"
The old wolf noticed Lin Xiao's changes, and his voice became more pathetic, which had a bit of a sense of life and death.
"Thank you, old fellow, last night!" Lin Xiao was also moved, if these animals were not infected and mutated, he really didn't have to be afraid of them if he dominated the second layer, but the problem was that nine times out of ten, these guys had already been infected and mutated! What's even more terrifying is that there are monkeys among them......
It's hard to think that if it weren't for the old wolf, it was unknown whether he would have woken up alive......
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the old wolf was still wailing, but he just looked at Lin Xiao's gaze, with a touch of indescribable meaning.
Seeing that the old wolf slowly retreated, wanting to escape towards the forest, Lin Xiao guessed that maybe the old wolf also knew that time was running out, so in order not to hurt himself, he wanted to stay farther away from himself, right?
Suddenly, Lin Xiao looked at the head of a place, and suddenly remembered the crystal nucleus in the zombie's head, and couldn't help but hurriedly speak: "Old guy, you come back first!" ”
The old wolf looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously, and stopped at his feet.
I didn't have time to explain anything, in fact, Lin Xiao was also worried that it would change later, after all, on the interstellar defense line, the dormant period of this virus was only half an hour to an hour!
The *** in his hand fell hard, and Lin Xiao knocked open the head of the black bear that looked the most powerful.
Maybe it's because it's been too long since these animals really died, and the brain tissue in the black bear's head has completely turned into gray-white soft and rotten meat, and the edges of these rotten meat seem to have a layer of gray granulation wriggling, as if some new tissue is forming?
Could it be that this virus is not the same as the one of the interstellar defense lines? The head was bitten off, and the virus is not completely dead? Lin Xiao didn't have time to ponder these esoteric things, and used *** to pull in the black bear's head.
"Haha! Really! Lin Xiao suddenly exclaimed, he pulled out a piece of yellow-brown crystals the size of a thumb from the black bear's head, not much different from what he saw on the interstellar defense line, it was also a polygonal diamond, like a neatly cut cut with a laser knife, shining in the sun.
"Old fellow, come here and eat this!" Lin Xiao hurriedly shouted at the old wolf, but found that the old wolf's eyes had begun to change color, and the originally distinct pupils had now begun to become a little chaotic.
Before the old wolf came over by himself, Lin Xiao came to the old wolf with an arrow step, raised his hand and stuffed the crystal into the old wolf's mouth.
Hearing a soft grunt, Lin Xiao was relieved.
But then, the old wolf seemed to be in a violent mood, and his paws kept beating his head, and he didn't know if it felt pain or something at this time, and the eye, which was already blind, was blurred by the flesh and blood pulled by his paws.
Lin Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this is not the same as what he imagined? Taking advantage of the confusion of the old wolf, he quietly retreated until the whole person had retreated into the courtyard, and then ran up to the second floor, closed the door in the stairwell, and added two logs to the roof.
