Chapter Twenty-Four: Sudden Mutation

The winter days are very short, the sun has soon set halfway, after a few hours of hard work, Fan Hu and Song Lian have put on real down jackets, but unlike the down jackets sold in the mall, their down jackets are made of ropes made of mutant eagle feathers to string the feathers together and hang them on their bodies, wrapping the left and right front and back of the whole person from top to bottom, looking like two human-shaped big birds, extremely funny

"Hey, hey, hey....." Fan Hu pried hard, a scale was directly pried out and fell to the ground, the scales of the mutant python are indeed hard enough, but they still grow on the soft flesh, if you want to cut it, Fan Hu has no way at all, but it is very easy to pry, of course, this is only relative

"One, two, three, four, ..... nine, Lao Song still has one piece, ten pieces, well, it's enough" Fan Hu wiped the sweat from his face, and it took him a few hours to warp these ten scales, and he was sweating profusely

Raising his head and covering the dazzling sunlight with one hand, he glanced at the sun that was about to set in the distance, and then Fan Hu walked to the other side of the mutant eagle, at this time Song Lian was standing in front of the beak of the mutant eagle, holding a piece of scale on the eagle's beak and constantly rotating and rubbing, Fan Hu shouted loudly to Song Lian, "Old Song, are you okay, why is it so long!" I'm done."

Originally, Song Lian was already tired of becoming a dog, and when he saw that Fan Hu was still talking there and saying cool things, Song Lian turned his head directly and scolded, "Your uncle!" Give it a try! Damn", after all, Song Lian's subordinates did not stop

The two were used to fighting, but Fan Hu didn't care, and teased, "Old Song, hurry up!" The sun is going down and it's not good, it's too slow! I'll give you the rest! After speaking, without waiting for Song Lian to open his mouth, he ran back directly and picked up the scales one by one

The scales of the mutant python are indeed a good thing, with super high defense, but they are not thick, about one centimeter, and the weight is also very light, one scale is about ten catties, and ten pieces add up to a maximum of one hundred catties, which is within the range of their weight

Fan Hu came to Song Lian with the scales in his hand and threw them on the ground, then walked aside and watched Song Lian grind the scales, "Old Song, how is it?" ”

Song Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and turned his head to look at Fan Hu, "Do you want to help?"

Fan Hu leaned on the thick eagle's beak, twisted his body to change to a more comfortable posture, and then held his chin with one hand and leisurely picked up a piece of grass, "I will cook for you later, how can I have time!" ”

"Your uncle!" Song Lian rolled his eyes wildly and ignored Fan Hu directly

"Rustle..... The sound of friction is endless, as the saying goes: as long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, after several hours of continuous efforts, the scales are finally 'processed' completed, Song Lian picked up the scales, glanced at the small hole with the size of his thumb on the scales, and then threw the scales to the ground and shook his two arms vigorously, "I'm, Nima's, I'm tired"

"Okay?" Fan Hu walked over all the time, picked up the scales and put them in front of him, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm!" That's right, Old Song, your ancestors did this."

"Your uncle's" Song Lian really wanted to kick him away, "Your ancestor is doing this, your whole family is doing this, you...."At this moment, suddenly a group of wolves appeared on the edge of the pit and stuffed Song Lian's remaining words back

"Wolves" Song Lian shouted and immediately pulled out his pistol, Fan Hu's reflexes were also super strong, and at the same time, he picked up the rifle and turned around directly to load

Fan Hu quickly looked around with a rifle and found that they had been surrounded, and then Fan Hu slowly walked behind Song Lian with bent steps, back to back with Song Lian, with a serious and murderous look on his face, "Old Song, it's a large wolf pack, we are in trouble"

"Hmm" At this time, Song Lian no longer had a hippie smile, but a solemn face, and his eyes looked at the wolves above vigilantly and calmly, "Brother Fan, miscalculated!" I didn't expect these brutes to come so soon."

When he came, Song Lian had already expected that there would be many fierce beasts that would be attracted by the smell of blood, but he originally estimated that it would take about a day or two, after all, it would take time for the remnants of the mutant beasts to dissipate, but he didn't expect that reality had taught him a lesson, and it was only half a day, and the wolves had already arrived, and they were also surrounded

"Brother Fan, fight or withdraw" Song Lian looked at Fan Hu behind him out of the corner of his eyes, at this time, Fan Hu had to make a decision, because Fan Hu was the head

At this time, at the edge of the pit, a wolf appeared slowly like a king, this wolf was bigger than the rest, all stronger, and when the wolf appeared, all the wolves around lowered their heads and took a few steps back to the side

The "Wolf King" just glanced at Fan Hu and immediately recognized that this wolf was definitely the wolf king of this wolf pack

Looking at the wolf king and the surrounding wolves, Fan Hu's mind turned quickly, although the wolves were very numerous, and they occupied a favorable position, but they had guns, and the bullets were quite abundant, if they really wanted to fight, the wolves must not be their opponents, the only thing they had to watch out for was to try not to get hurt, otherwise it would be quite troublesome, even if they had medicine, but they were not real doctors after all, if they were seriously injured, the consequences would be difficult to guarantee, but the meat that had reached the mouth Fan Hu would never spit it out again, The scales of the most important mutant python have not been made yet, and they cannot be taken away, these scales are excellent armor, and their preciousness and effect are enough for them to risk their lives, and after weighing it repeatedly, Fan Hu finally made a decision

"Retreat to it, then kill them"

This is the best choice at the moment, back to the top, they can let go of their hands and feet to kill the wolves, in this kind of pit, there is no terrain to rely on, only absolute force, they will be very passive

Song Lian naturally would not object to Fan Hu's decision, and Song Lian nodded "Okay"

At this moment, the wolf king suddenly raised his head and howled "whoop", and then the entire wolf pack suddenly retreated and quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the two

The two glanced at each other, and the sudden retreat of the wolves did not make Fan Hu and Song Lian relax their vigilance, because they knew the characteristics of wolves too well, unlike tigers and lions, wolves were known for their cunning and ferocity, and they liked to take advantage of their prey to sneak attack, and once they set their sights on the prey, they would always follow the prey, never dying

After a while, seeing that there was still no movement on it, Fan Hu took off his rifle and handed it to Song Lian, "Old Song, I'll go up first and cover me"

The slope of this slope is not large, but it still needs to be lined with both hands to get up, and carrying a rifle is in the way, which is not as convenient as a pistol, and the rifle is more powerful and more suitable for cover

Song Lian glanced at Fan Hu, took the rifle in one hand and handed the pistol to Fan Hu, "Brother Fan, be careful"

"Don't worry!" After taking the pistol Fan Hu checked it, then he quickly rushed down the slope with the pistol in both hands in a combat posture, and after seeing that there were no wolves on the edge of the pit above his head, Fan Hu turned off the safety of the pistol and pinned it to his waist, he didn't want the pistol to go off when he climbed the slope and shot his thigh or crotch

"Hahu" Fan Hu retreated a few meters, took a deep breath, and rushed forward directly, "Ah...."

The six-meter 45-degree slope is something that ordinary people can climb, and for the survivors who have been through a hundred battles and are agile, Fan Hu is like a monkey on the slope and pedals three or two steps to the edge of the pit, and then grabs the edge of the pit with both hands and jumps up directly, the moment he lands, Fan Hu quickly pulled out his pistol and opened the safety and knelt on the ground, the muzzle of the gun continued to scan around, from the start and sprint to the top of the slope, and then to the ground to pull out the pistol, it took less than ten seconds in total, the whole action was smooth, and more importantly, Fan Hu is still carrying a backpack of dozens of pounds, and his skills and strength can be known just by thinking about how strong they are, in peacetime, I am afraid that no one will believe it except for seeing it with their own eyes, but in the end times, this is very common

Since the ground was full of fallen trees and branches, which seriously affected his vision, after scanning the surroundings, Fan Hu stood up and slowly walked towards the fallen trees

"Knock knock....knock knock"

At this time, Fan Hu's heartbeat was beating violently because of tension, and the string of his head was also tense to the extreme, and he walked to the trunk of the tree in small steps, and Fan Hu quickly poked out his head and pistol

"Huh" there is no danger, Fan Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and then Fan Hu checked the surroundings one by one, and found no signs of the wolves ambushing, Fan Hu slowly retreated to the edge of the pit and beckoned to Song Lian and shouted "Safety, come up"

"Immediately" Song Lian hurriedly put away his gun and came to Fan Hu's bottom, and then, like Fan Hu, rushed directly to the edge with a sprint, and then grabbed the edge with both hands and jumped to the ground, and then Song Lian hurriedly exchanged weapons with Fan Hu, and the magazines they brought were all for their own use

"Brother Fan, where are we going now" Song Lian checked whether the insurance was open, and then took out a magazine from his coat pocket to keep it in reserve

After hanging the strap of the rifle, Fan Hu picked up the rifle and looked around, this valley is very large, they can be said to be in the middle of the valley at this time, but one mile inside is a cliff on three sides, and more than a mile outside is a stream at the exit of the valley, after thinking for a while, finally Fan Hu pointed to the cliff in the deepest part of the valley, "We will spend the night there tonight"

According to the words of the soldiers, this valley is a dead place, and it is absolutely not advisable to stay for a long time, otherwise once it is surrounded, it will really be no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, but Fan Hu has his considerations, although he has not read, but this basic common sense is still understood, and the reason why he chose there is two reasons:

One: They are facing beasts, not humans, although the wolves are cunning, they are still beasts, and they will not use any advanced strategies like humans, so they don't have to worry about fire traps and the like, but on the contrary to the wolves, Fan Hu They can rely on the Jedi to set traps and then lure the wolves to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and at the same time avoid being attacked on their backs

The second point is that this is the closest to the corpse of the mutant beast, you can get there as soon as possible to get what you want and retreat quickly, as time goes by, the strong smell of blood of the mutant beast will definitely attract all kinds of animals, even mutant beasts, the so-called late will change, Fan Hu neither wants to fight with those beasts or even mutant beasts, but he also doesn't want to wait slowly, who knows what will be left after they disperse, if they eat a bone and a scale left, then Fan Hu must not cry to death, Although the scales of the mutant python are indeed hard enough, and ordinary animals really can't gnaw on it, Fan Hu doesn't want to gamble, after all, even the mutant beasts have come out in this world, so what's so strange about having a hard tooth, so it's best to get what you want and retreat within a day or two, which is the safest

Song Lian was not stupid, hearing Fan Hu's decision, he understood Fan Hu's plan after a little thought, and nodded directly, "Okay!" “

"Okay! Let's go."

Then Fan Hu took Song Lian and the two walked towards the depths of the valley
