Chapter 68: Onlookers
Inside the bunker, the second floor is breezy and the first floor is in full swing. When Zhang Le touched Jesse on the right, he was immediately horny, and then when he touched Victor on the left, he immediately shrunk into a ball and was completely cool.
In this state of ice and fire, Zhang Lemiao didn't sleep until midnight in a daze. As soon as it was dawn, I woke up in a daze. Victor and Jesse slept very soundly, with one thigh on one side on Zhang Le's body. Zhang Le has a deeper understanding of life, and there are nine times out of ten that things are unsatisfactory in the world.
It was dawn, and the three of them finally woke up completely. Bill and Billy on the first floor did well today, not only baking rabbit meat and bread, but also preparing a cup of coffee for each of the three people upstairs. However, the eyes of the two of them looking at the three people upstairs were evasive and suspicious. However, when the two of them only looked at Zhang Le, there was nothing else in their eyes, only admiration.
After breakfast, Victor continued on his way, with two more followers by his side. Zhang Le and Jesse waved goodbye to the three who were far away. When the railroad track made a small bend and the little train and the three of them disappeared behind a low mountain, Zhang Le and Jesse quickly turned around and hugged each other vigorously, as if they wanted to turn each other into a part of their body.
It wasn't until noon that the two hurriedly got dressed and started a new day's journey.
Since the interruption of some of the original sections of the Northern Trade Road, there has been much less cargo coming and going on this road. Now, except for some urgently needed supplies, most of the other materials have stopped being transported. It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that a small caravan was seen coming from the direction of Rock Town.
Electrically powered trains are high-end trucks on this trade route, and the cost of transporting goods by high-end trucks alone is too high, and many small caravans and freelancers have thought of other methods, such as rickshaws. They paid a small maintenance fee to the postal union, and then they could frame a simple four-wheeled car on the rails and pull it by hand. The rickshaw had to be not too heavy, because the rickshaw had to be lifted off the tracks in time when an electric car came from behind.
This caravan uses a rickshaw, and the cart is pulled by two very strong black men, and three rickshaws are pulled together, and the big man must be a power mutant, because it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with mutant creatures in the wild, and the resilience of minor injuries and illnesses is far weaker than that of mutants. Of course, they could only be first-level strength mutants with low base values, because even hunters who could only catch centipedes in the wild and sell them for money would not come to do this kind of slender man's work.
In addition to the two slender men pulling the cart, there was also a short and stout white strong man bodyguard.
Perhaps it was because the morning had taken too much energy from the two of them, and after Zhang Le and Jesse had walked for an hour, they had to find a high ground near the track to rest.
As it passed Zhang Le and Jesse, the caravan stopped. After the white man approached, he tried to take a closer look before he recognized Jesse in a hunting suit, and then quickly greeted Jesse and introduced his name, Beron. Jesse is often in the quest hall, so many hunters know her. There are very few people who know Zhang Le, and even if they know his name, most of them can't recognize his appearance, not to mention, the name Jaime is definitely not less than twenty in Rock Town.
After a few casual conversations, the caravan continued on its way.
Zhang Le and Jesse rested for another hour before continuing on their way. The rejuvenated two men picked up their speed and ran with all their might, overtaking Veron's caravan in the middle, and encountered a two-person patrol from the opposite side, and it was dark again.
The railroad tracks have left the mountains and come to the plateau. There is no shortage of towns and villages near the railway, but most of them have moved away, but few of the empty houses remain. Every thirty kilometers or so, near the tracks there is a fortified pillbox, either built later or remodeled from the original house.
Half an hour ago, Zhang Le and Jesse passed by a bunker, but there happened to be a large caravan heading south inside, and the two continued to move forward without stopping to rest.
"There's a small town over there." Even in the dark, Zhang Le's second-level fully enhanced vision can see things within a range of three kilometers, but the objects at night are nearly black and white, the contrast is too low, and there are fewer reference colors, so the vision is still greatly affected. ”
Jesse looked at the direction Zhang Le was pointing, it was pitch black, and he had a new understanding of Zhang Le's ability, of course, this also made Jesse determined that he couldn't let Zhang Le leave Rock Town, at least he had to leave something.
The town is about 1.5 kilometers from the track, which is not far away. But the road was not smooth. Without human destruction, the plants began to grow wildly, and within thirty meters of the railroad tracks, they were all dense weeds half a man deep or higher.
Jesse's agility is a level, even if he crosses three or four meters of weeds, it is easy, but Jesse's eyesight is limited and he can't run fast in the dark, so Zhang Le can only pick up Jesse's body and jump forward.
After running more than 300 meters, Zhang Le regretted it. In Zhang Le's insect sensing vision, countless insects live in the weeds, all kinds of reptiles on the ground, such as centipedes, grasshoppers, horses, etc., there are various locust-like creatures and all kinds of leaf-eating green insects in the middle layer of wild grasses, and there are butterflies, fireflies, ladybugs, etc. at the top of the insects, and in the field of vision of the insects sensed by Zhang Le, I saw snails, locusts, snakes, lizards and other creatures, these creatures are bigger and terrifying than before the nuclear war, this is a huge biome. If Jesse had known that there were so many bugs in the grass, he would have fainted with disgust.
Zhang Le came to a protruding stone and stopped.
"It seems that I really underestimated the horror of the apocalyptic wilderness, the last night near the coast was full of dangers, it was because of my own strength, but after I regained my strength, I have always felt that the outside world can threaten me only a handful, this may be a fact. But if there are too many ants, they can bite and kill elephants, no matter how strong an individual's combat effectiveness is in a short period of time, but he must always rest, and he cannot fight forever. These huge number of creatures whose individual strength is slowly approaching or surpassing the combat power of ordinary humans are really not something that the current human race can compete with, even if it is a super master like himself, not to mention, there are also top-level combat power among insects, such as the queen ant. Fortunately, these insects do not regard humans as one of their food chains, otherwise even this trade route guarded by the Super Human Alliance would not be able to be kept. ”
Jesse shifted his body and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Zhang Le was silent for a moment, and used the information hormone network command to drive away all kinds of insects near the stone, and said: "Human beings must do something, and they need more help." You're right, Ms. Jesse, the Future Seed Project is really important, and I just now feel that humanity is really in extreme danger. You see, these vast areas have all become a paradise for mutated creatures, and there are fewer and fewer humans, and I am afraid that only more superhumans can save the human race. ”
"It's really strange, I persuaded you for so long and you didn't agree, just accompany you out to find a place to snap, and you have all figured it out!" Jesse chuckled.
Zhang Le smiled and said: "I just agree with this plan, but I don't want to be a stallion, and besides, for such a big thing as saving human beings, super humans are of course important, but the huge number of ordinary normal humans who can adapt to this end of the world should be the main body." ”
Jesse paused and smiled strangely: "I didn't expect you to have this point of view, closer to the Human Supremacy Alliance than the Super Human Alliance!" ”
"Aren't the two family?" Zhang Le asked.
"Sooner or later, you're going to split up, you're a super human anyway, and you'll never be on that side. Or what I once said, whether you want to be a stallion or not, I want to have children with you anyway, and I'm willing to be your ...... Mare! Jesse stared at Zhang Le's eyes and said.
"What did I just say? Humans need more help, and yes, human allies can be not only humans, but at least some creatures can be temporary allies. Zhang Le instinctively wanted to avoid Jesse's hot eyes, but suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
"Temporary allies? What do you mean? Jesse's eyes widened.
"Just watch."
Zhang Le closed his eyes and began to give instructions to the insects around him.
Fifteen minutes later, the various bugs on the ground began to sort into small teams. In the ground group, centipedes, horses, grasshoppers, etc., began to drive away snakes and reptiles. These giant insects, which are more than 40 centimeters long and more than 10 centimeters long, were originally a plate of loose sand, but after gathering, they began to exert the power of group combat, whether it was a small poisonous snake, a python five or six meters long, or a lizard more than two meters long, all of them fled under the attack of insects on these grounds, and the slow ones were quickly eaten as skeletons.
The green worm group and the grasshopper group began to gnaw on the leaves and grass stems of the plant, and at least the giant green worm more than 20 centimeters long and the various grasshoppers more than 30 centimeters long gnawed at the same time, and the speed visible to the naked eye spread to all sides with the stone Zhang Le was standing on.
Butterflies and ladybugs had no support and flew off into the distance. Zhang Le only left these huge fireflies that had mutated out of armor. The fireflies are like huge lanterns, illuminating the surroundings.
Zhang Le continued to increase the number of insects under control, each population reached thousands, and at the moment when the total number was almost tens of thousands, the information hormone network that had been transmitting instructions was suddenly mapped in Zhang Le's mind, one by one, one by one, like the essence of the white silk threads in the air to draw a dense route, leading to each controlled insect, and Zhang Le's brain in the virtual map is a liquid-filled ball, connected to countless silk threads.
"We've got a chief!"
"We've got a chief!"
"We've got a chief!"
The cheers of the insects suddenly fed back into Zhang Le's brain.
"I actually set up a network, and, like, I'm a root server!" Zhang Le's face was incredible.
"Hey, Chief Chief, I'm the leader of the Green Worm Group, how long are we going to eat? A little full!" A giant green worm with a body length of fifty centimeters sent a message to Zhang Le. Zhang Le followed the source of information and quickly saw this guy, this big green worm actually had a small round ball filled with liquid in his head, and this small round ball also had countless silk threads leading to the nearby green worms.
"Green worm leader, let the well-fed green worms stop eating grass, if there are new green worms joining the network, let them eat, and stop when they are full." Zhang Le issued a complex command in disbelief.
"Yes, Chief Officer!" The leader of the green worm team returned with a clear instruction.
"All the zerg, stop attacking, stop eating, rest freely, guard around me, but don't approach me!" Zhang Le saw that the Zerg had cleared a blank area the size of a football field, and he didn't want to toss these new subordinates anymore, so he simply gave this order.
"Yes, Chief Officer!"
"Yes, Chief Officer!"
"Yes, Chief Officer!"
“……”
Each race has a "leader", and it turns out that the chief cheered by these insects just now is this, which should mean a race.
"Why can't you approach the Governor-General? I like the Chief. ”
"There's a female of the same race next to the chief, and I guess they're going to mate!"
"Oh, I see. But I was woken up by the chief in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep, so let's watch the chief minister mate! ”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Plus One"
Zhang Le put down Jesse, although Ms. Jesse's eyesight is not good, but with these fireflies lighting, she has already seen everything clearly. Although I was scared and disgusted at first, I found that the insects were quite cute, such as the fireflies in armor and the chubby green worms, and most importantly, these insects were not threats at all, but Jaime's friends.
"It's very clean here, let's sleep here, don't go to town!" Jesse's eyes were like silk, looking at Zhang Le.
"No, I never snap in public!" Zhang Le resolutely refused.
