Although it was not very necessary, Zhang Le and his party decided to take a rest, replenish the equipment to protect against the cold by the way, and let the team that had been nervous about the road relax a little.

When it was getting late, the group came to the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and there was a human gathering area not far ahead. The sky began to drift with scattered snow, and the group just broke into this quiet town. With the strength of the team, you don't have to worry about any accidents.

The town is surrounded by a tall wall made of huge stones and wood, and at the entrance there is a large heavy wooden gate covered with iron sheets. Due to the excessive weight of the wooden doors, two rows of slide rails are installed under each wooden door.

The door was only half open, and the townspeople, wrapped in thick fur, stared like fools at the group of outsiders who only had a thin long trench coat. Moreover, behind these people were a group of tall giant birds, especially the giant eagle, which stood up more than three meters tall, and the divine horse was abnormal. However, mutants and mutant creatures were already well known, so these apparently tame giant birds did not cause a riot among the townspeople.

All three girls wore hooded trench coats and hats over their heads, revealing only half of their faces. Snow's wings can be retracted, while Fei'er's wings are a little more troublesome, but fortunately they are tough and soft enough to be controlled and wrapped around the body as underwear.

Most of the town's residents are native Pakistanis, but there are some strange faces of all shapes and colors.

Zhang Le and Shen Wei took the lead, and the faces of the two Chinese really attracted more attention. Soon, a tall, thin local greeted him and asked in English, "Are you two Chinese friends?" ”

Zhang Le stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Yes, I'm Zhang Le, this is the Chinese Ice Dragon Hunter Squad, coming from the other side of the sea, preparing to cross the snow-capped mountains and return to China." ”

"Haha, welcome, welcome, I'm Said, but you must be joking, the snow-capped mountains behind are impassable, unless you go north again, through the China-Pakistan Highway back, although there is no way back. Nuclear war and earthquakes have been wiped out. Said stretched out his hands and held Zhang Le tightly.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest first, I don't know what we need, we don't have any money, but we caught some prey on the way." Zhang Le asked.

"Don't worry about that, my friend, I have enough accommodation for you, please come with me!" The center of the street is not a good place to chat, and Saeed led the way, almost half of the town, and reached the destination.

It was getting dark, the town was lit up, and the snow was falling heavier.

Said was not lying, and near the edge of the mountain, he did have a large house, also made of wood and stone. Entering the gate, there is a large courtyard of about 100 square meters inside, flanked by wing rooms. Two boys of fifteen or sixteen years old were lifting a round boulder to cover a well. Zhang Le and Shen Wei couldn't help but glance at each other, these two boys must be mutants, and the stone was not less than six hundred catties.

"This well water is our treasure, there is hot water in it, and the electricity used in the town also comes from geothermal heat, which was built with the help of a group of Westerners, by the way, there is also a Chinese among them!" Said saw Zhang Le looking at the well water and explained.

A group of people entered the big house, and a group of giant birds behind them followed unceremoniously. Seeing that Zhang Le and the others didn't speak, Said could only frown and let the bird in. The house is very large, about 200 square meters, even if so many people and birds come in, it is only slightly crowded.

The big house has only one partition wall, one large and one small. The house is relatively simple, full of coarse log furniture, in the center of the big house there is a direct one meter of circular fire pit, directly above the fire pit is a hugging thick iron pipe, the iron pipe is further above and divided into two thin iron pipes, the thin iron pipe in the room around the two circles, and then through a chimney obliquely stretched out of the house.

The firewood is thriving in the fire pit, and the pine branches are full of oil, and the whole house is warm and has a unique pine fragrance.

Said beckoned everyone to sit down around the fire, and then pulled a few sweet potatoes out of the fire pit with fire tongs and gave them to the humans.

Seeing Said's solemn appearance, Zhang Le knew that the food should still be relatively nervous for the family.

"Brother Shen, bring in the bag outside!" Several people are not suitable, so Shen Wei can only do this job.

The rattan bag is Zhang Le's masterpiece, and since making the cactus hut, Zhang Le feels as if he has awakened his artistic cells. A large bag with a diameter of two meters and a length of five meters was dragged in by Shen Wei.

"Rock sheep, white-lipped deer, oh my, and snow leopards!" Said was frightened, these were mutant creatures, the smallest was more than three meters tall, and they were extremely fast, even the mutant hunters in the town could not hunt these powerful creatures.

The prey was all killed by Sandy, and was forced into a slightly narrow rattan bag by Sandy, but fortunately the rattan was of good quality and elastic, otherwise it would not have been able to fit these three large prey.

Said quickly beckoned the two boys in, carried the prey to the yard and slaughtered it, while he ran to the hut and brought out two jars of wine. This is also the entire population of Said's family, only three people. The two children are not biological either, but are children of the clan.

Said, who sat down again, became more polite to Zhang Le and the others. A few people began to talk casually.

The name of the town is Mallard, and due to its remote location, it has not been attacked by nuclear weapons in a nuclear war. Although there is a spread of nuclear radiation, it has little impact on the town. But as creatures on Earth, no race is exempt from the vast majority of plants and animals in the entire food chain that have been exposed to nuclear radiation and have to mutate. Unless truly isolated.

The Hunter Squad is not an unfamiliar name to Said, mutants are not unusual, and there are more than a dozen in the town. Only one-fifth of the indigenous people of this remote town survived, and the rest were others who had fled, as well as a small number of fierce hunter squads. The nuclear radiation here is relatively small, and if you pay attention to your diet, even ordinary people can survive. The vast majority of the people who survive in the town are just ordinary people.

The non-humans such as Sandy, Xue, and Phil are not interested in any of this, only Zhang Le, Shen Wei, and Gianna interject from time to time and chat with Said.

Soon, the two children brought the meat and everyone started the barbecue. The two jars were opened, and it tasted good, although far worse than Sandy's. It's just a pity that the little wine made by Sandy has long been drunk.

There was wine and meat, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic. The two children also danced a folk dance, which attracted everyone's applause.

Most of the six or seven thousand catties of meat went into the belly of the giant bird. The prey near the snowy mountains has firmer flesh, and these are all dominant mutated creatures, which taste very good in themselves. Fortunately, Zhang Le stopped in time and left more than 1,000 catties of meat for the family.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves until more than ten o'clock, when everyone finally finished dinner.

"Friends, beautiful ladies, I have a super hot spring here, everyone can enjoy it later." Said said drunkenly.

The hot springs are located on the left and right wings, divided into male and female pools, and the water is pumped directly from the well. Said took two equally drunk children to the hut to sleep, and soon there was snoring from inside. Zhang Le and others could only do it themselves, clean up the pool, and soak in the hot springs.

"Knock knock", half an hour later, when Zhang Le and the others were about to fall asleep in the hot spring, a fierce knock on the door sounded.
