Chapter 4 To the Redwood Forest
There are two types of soldiers in the ghetta.
One is responsible for the city guards, supervising the market areas, and regularly cleaning up the city guards around the market areas, numbering several thousand.
One is the private army that protects the big men in the settlement, and it is also the internal army of the settlement.
The city guard army is naturally not comparable to the internal direct army, but the first squad of the city guard is the trump card of the city guard army.
Once they are dispatched, no matter how difficult the problem outside the settlement is, no matter how complicated the situation is, it will be easily solved.
At this time, the penultimate pickup truck of the team, in the passenger seat, sat a young girl.
The girl was wearing the uniform of the city guard, the rank was a captain, and the Qiong nose and cherry mouth seen from under the sunglasses, and the whole cheek was very amazing.
This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a very delicate face and a bit of charm.
Judging from the respect on the face of the driving soldier, this girl seems to be quite extraordinary.
"Deputy team, it's just that the little beasts in the redwood forest are disobedient, why do you need to go out in person?"
The soldier spoke.
The girl with sunglasses couldn't see any change in her expression, and her tone was light: "It's just the order from above, when the redwood forest is checked, we will go south to the wasteland to have a look." ”
Hearing the word wasteland, the soldier's face was obviously a little more solemn.
But thinking of the ability of the girl next to him, his face trembled twice: "There is a deputy team, and the wasteland is nothing." ”
"Still can't be careless."
"Understood."
"Drive well, I'll take a nap."
"Yes."
The soldier straightened up immediately, his expression focused.
And at the same time.
Jiang Xiaobai had already returned to the earth and stone house.
"Luo Xue, I'm going out soon, I'm not allowed to ask for leave casually in the future, if I'm afraid of going to bed at night, let Uncle Lan come over......"
Jiang Xiaobai put the hunting suit on his body.
The suit, the skin of some kind of beast, resembles the jacket worn by a grocery store owner.
There are a lot of special pockets inside, equipped with some hunting tools.
"Brother, are you going out hunting? It's going to be night soon, and you don't rarely go out at night? And the wounds on your body ......"
"It's okay to hurt."
Jiang Xiaobai touched Ji Luoxue's head: "There is a knife under the bedboard, I went out, the door was closed tightly, and when Uncle Lan came back from the mine, if you were afraid, go to him, or the same as before, don't let me worry." ”
"Hmm."
Ji Luoxue nodded again and again.
"Gone."
Jiang Xiaobai stepped out of the door.
"Brother."
Ji Luoxue followed to the door, and her voice was much lowered: "Be careful." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded as he walked forward.
Leave from the earthen and stone house.
It's getting dark.
Jiang Xiaobai originally wanted to take advantage of the night to leave the market area unconsciously, but when he passed through the shantytown, he was still discovered by many people.
One by one, figures looked at Jiang Xiaobai from behind the curtain in the shantytown, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice, pulled out the curved bone knife between his waist, and carried it on his shoulder.
The eyes dispersed with fear.
Although supervised by the city guards, the settlement around the settlement was never safe.
Although there are few fatal incidents, they are not impossible.
If you want to survive in the ghetto area, you must not only be stronger, but also more ruthless.
Cowardly people.
People who are timid and afraid.
Even if he won't die easily, he is destined to be the target of bullying, and since he killed those two gangsters two years ago, no one dares to bully Jiang Xiaobai in the No. 7 market area.
"Luo Xue, Uncle Lan."
"The stone tablet in my head is starting to change."
"I don't know why, but it's not a bad thing."
"Soon, I'll join the City Guard, and then spend some money to take you in."
"City Guard, I can definitely join!"
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were resolute.
The moonlight fell on Jiang Xiaobai's face from this semi-dim night.
"Xiaobai, are you still going out so late?"
A voice came from the shanty next to him, Jiang Xiaobai didn't even look at him, just shook the big bone knife on his shoulder twice, and the man cut it and retreated into the shanty boringly.
Two copper coins were paid.
Jiang Xiaobai left through the iron gate of the No. 7 market area.
The figure disappeared into the darkening night.
The world outside the market area, the more night it gets, the more dangerous it becomes, even if there are so many market areas around the 361 settlement, so many powerful hunters in the east, west, north and south, few people dare to brave the night to hunt.
Jiang Xiaobai also had no choice.
This stele task is too important, and the CBA's three-level task rating has an inexplicable attraction to Jiang Xiaobai.
Moreover, after this coma, Jiang Xiaobai discovered one thing.
His physical fitness has improved dramatically since that one two years ago.
Two years ago, Jiang Xiaobai survived from the mouth of that group of hyenas, and then Ji Luoxue showed her ability in a worry and cured Jiang Xiaobai's injuries, and after that time, Jiang Xiaobai's physical fitness improved a lot, and he began to become the most powerful hunter in the No. 7 market area.
And this time.
Before, Jiang Xiaobai was faintly aware.
Now passing through a fence shelter forest guarding the outermost part of the gathering area, Jiang Xiaobai immediately experimented.
Speed is at your feet, pick up, speed up.
"The speed is at least half as good as before."
Jiang Xiaobai squinted.
He could clearly feel that his speed had improved a lot compared to before, and he didn't even feel tired.
In the past, he ran the 100 meters in 10 to 11 seconds, but now, he thinks he can do it in 6 to 7 seconds!
Call!
The bone knife in his hand cut a graceful arc in the night sky, easily cutting off the trunk of a tree the thickness of an adult man's arm.
"My strength has also increased a lot."
Jiang Xiaobai's face was happy.
But this feeling of joy did not make him feel steady.
The two ascensions were only created by the crazy killing of losing their minds, and then falling into a coma.
Jiang Xiaobai doesn't remember very well, but he can vaguely feel that he really didn't have a trace of humanity at that time, like a demon, as if he was born to kill.
That feeling.
He didn't like it.
"All of this has something to do with the stele?"
"Is it the stele behind me, silently influencing me?"
In the dark night, Jiang Xiaobai was familiar with it, avoiding hidden traps everywhere, and thinking about this problem.
Subsequently.
He shook his head.
Judging from the current situation, the stele did not have any ill will towards him, and the two transformations in the passive situation were both in the middle of nine deaths, and the stele saved him.
None of this would have happened if we hadn't been in such a precarious situation.
"It seems that we should try to avoid these in the future......"
Thinking in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai's speed has slowed down a lot.
These traps in the forest are the last barrier outside the fence protection forest in the settlement area, and this is also the semi-safe area of their hunters.
As soon as you pass through here, you will enter the danger zone completely.
Field.
In the dark.
I don't know how many unknown dangers there are, even if his physical fitness, including his six senses, has improved a lot, Jiang Xiaobai still can't be careless.
Especially at this time, the light is very dim, and he can only use a little faint moonlight, Jiang Xiaobai has to cheer up the spirit of twelve.
The bone knife had been put back on his waist, and Jiang Xiaobai took out two daggers from the special pocket of the hunting suit.
Threats from a distance can be put aside for the time being, and the dagger is more flexible and convenient at close range.
Whew!
After three hours, there was a burst of sound in my ears.
It was like the sound of poisonous bees buzzing in the forest, but then Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, no, it was the sound of wheels on the ground, passing through the woods in the messy wind!
At such a late night, there is a car?
Jiang Xiaobai cautiously leaned in, and with the help of the light in the distance, he saw the cars clearly.
It's the car of the first squad of the Settlement City Guard, the Poppies Squad!
And at the moment.
In the passenger seat of the pickup truck, a young girl turned her head faintly, and her eyes suddenly looked at the location of Jiang Xiaobai in the forest on the right.
"What's wrong, vice-team?"
"Nope."
The girl shook her head, like a cat's squinted eyes returned to their original state, and the thumb of her right hand rested on a precious ruby ring on her left index finger: "Tell the convoy to stop in the open area ahead and prepare to walk into the redwood forest." ”
"Yes."
The radios on the cars immediately came to a halt, and after a few breaths, the cars slowly stopped.
