Volume 2 Tales of the Night Chapter 43 The Road and the Distance
After the catastrophe, the clouds over the town of Brasov finally lifted, revealing the eternal stars above the sky, and the smoke billowing from the sky was filled with the stench of charred corpses, and the surviving townsfolk were all at a loss, as if they could not believe that the terrible insect plague and the strange castle monster had been solved by a group of outsiders.
Some people hurriedly ran out of the town, and after the Prince of Shadows left, the mirror space that closed the town was completely gone, and people could already come and go inside and outside the town at will, but when those people saw the endless wilderness outside, their faces were as white as the earth, and finally they could only turn back.
Bai Ye ignored the ragged and hungry townspeople, but led the convoy to occupy the town's gas station, filled all the vehicles and spare storage tanks with fuel, and asked his soldiers to find a truck to load the remaining fuel, almost emptying the town's gas station.
Although the fuel should technically belong to the townspeople, no one dared to speak out against White Night after seeing the vicious look of White Night when he captured Beverly and Coman. Fortunately, Bai Ye only scavenged for fuel and did not rob them of food, so although people were angry in their hearts, it was not unbearable.
And the reason why Bai Ye didn't snatch the food was that the food he brought was still sufficient, and the second was that in the new world, as long as there was enough force to protect it, food was actually not difficult to find. Most of the countless otherworldly monsters and mutated creatures in the wilderness are edible, and it is not difficult to find, the difficult thing is how to kill them.
After these horrific disasters, and the world outside the town has become so strange, all the townspeople are in a state of precariousness and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. Some of the bold townsfolk tried to ask Hakuya to go with the convoy, but Hakuya mercilessly refused.
In the process of loading and unloading fuel, Bai Ye found a few large pieces of paper and kept drawing on them, Feng Hua approached and asked, "Bai Ye, what are you doing?" β
Bai Ye smiled: "I want to gather the terrain of the new world that humans have explored in my memory and make a map." β
As he spoke, he showed everyone half of the map: "Look, this is J City, and the outer periphery of J City is a vast Screaming Jungle, and our current location is hereβsouth-west of the Whiskening Plains, and our goal is hereβ" He pointed to a mountain range about 600 kilometers to the northeast, which covered an extremely large area under the White Night's pen, and the terrain was peculiar, a huge ring.
"This is the Ancoras Crater, and our goal is in the mountains, where we want to build our own base. But before we get there, we'll have to stop by here," said White Night, pointing to a small town on the northeastern border of the Wuthering Plains, "I'm going there to find someone." β
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Chen Qian asked curiously, "Why do you want to build a base in the mountains?" If you have a base, it's better to find a small town than to go to the mountains, right? β
Bai Ye smiled: "There is a Void Well there, and the Void Well is one of the most mysterious places in the New World, with very great magical abilities. In the future, all the real big cities will be built around the Well of the Void, and when you see it, you will know the magic of the Well of the Void. "Actually, there is one thing that White Night didn't tell everyone, that is, in J City, there will actually be a Void Well, but now White Night's strength is not enough to compete with the demons, but sooner or later, White Night will come back.
Bai Ye drew a total of two maps, and before leaving, Bai Ye gave one of them to a man in black in the second group, that person's name was Sun Xinye, the lucky guy who was replaced by Koman by Bai Ye before entering the ancient castle, and among all the men in black, he was the only one who was still a little grateful to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye said to Sun Xinye: "You stay, wait here for General Feng Tiannan, give him this map, and then go to this small city to find us." If you complete this task, I will treat it as my true own person in the future. Of course, if you want to escape, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are not afraid of being burned to death suddenly. β
Sun Xinye was shocked, but then he became happy, he had witnessed the power of Bai Ye many times these days, of course he knew how much benefit it would be if he was treated as "his own person", so he said in surprise: "Yes!" Boss Bai, don't worry, my wild son will never let you down! β
"What do you call me?" Bai Ye's previous life and present life have been combined for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been called so strangely.
"Uh......" Sun Xinye said hesitantly: "I think you are the boss of Brother Donglai, I will call you that, if you think it is ugly, then the brothers will also call you captain in the future." β
Bai Ye smiled: "No! You can call me that in the future, in this new world, if you don't have a bit of gangsterism, you really can't suppress those villains with dark psychology. But I warn you that the people in this town don't have a good opinion of us, and you need to be careful when we're gone, so they don't kill you. β
"This ......" Sun Xinye looked at the survivors in the distance with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay!" If I can't even control a group of ordinary people, what qualifications do I have to mess with you Bai Boss. β
Hakuya smiled and ignored him no longer, instead asking his warriors to gather all the survivors together and tell them that in three days at most, a large force would pass by, and they could beg the leader of the force to take them. According to Feng Tiannan's character, he shouldn't ignore them. These words gave them some hope, and they could also make Sun Xinye safer.
Under the grumbling and apprehensive gaze of the townspeople, the convoy slowly drove away from the town and never looked back.
After driving out of the town of Brasov, there is an endless wilderness in front of you, at first, everyone sat in the car and talked about the wilderness scenery and the adventures of the town, but after a long time, everyone gradually fell silent.
Walking on the boundless wilderness, there are identical bushes, swamps and sand dunes everywhere, and the whistling wind and sand are constantly whistling in everyone's ears, as if the road never ends. The strange and lonely new world has cast the first faint sorrow in the hearts of everyone in this unique way.
Of course, it's not always quiet along the way. After driving more than 200 kilometers, everyone encountered a group of wandering monsters in the wilderness. The heads of these monsters were like dog's heads and pig's mouths together, and the gray hair on their bodies was dirty and messy, and there were more than a hundred of them, and they roamed the wilderness in a hurry.
They walked upright like people, but when they spotted the convoy, they immediately got on all fours and rushed towards the convoy with a roar, and the speed was quite fast, and the speed of the convoy was about fifty kilometers per hour, and it was impossible to shake them off.
Bai Ye stopped the convoy and ordered a group of soldiers to clear these monsters, ten soldiers picked up their assault rifles and fired at a strafing shot from three hundred meters away, the monsters were alarmed by the fire and gunfire, and immediately left a dozen corpses and fled.
Liang Yu looked at these monsters, opened his wings with some eagerness, and said to Bai Ye with a smile: "Captain, these monsters look like dogs, can they eat meat?" Why don't I catch them all up? Dog meat is my favorite. β
Bai Ye smiled: "Their meat is edible, but the sour taste is very strong, and it is very unpalatable. And these guys are called Wild Gnolls, and they're actually savage and uncivilized humanoids. Although their IQ is very low, which is about the same as that of orangutans, they are truly intelligent beings, and we have not yet fallen to the point where we need to eat them. Let's go, you want to hunt, there are opportunities along the way. β
The opportunity soon came, and when it was getting late and dusk, White Night had the convoy stop under a hill-like boulder as a camping place for the near night. In the New World, camping sites must be built on such hard ground, as the soft sand or earth lies many otherworldly monsters and mutant beings that live underground.
While everyone was busy setting up their tents, Bai Ye took a huge iron chain and hook from the truck for loading goods, and took out a large piece of fresh meat from the reserve of the troop carrier, which was the monster meat that Bai Ye hunted in the screaming jungle. Bai Ye put the meat on the hook and said loudly, "I'll go get some delicious food, and any of you who are interested can come and have a look." In this new world, it's not hard to find food, but you still have to learn to find something really delicious. β
Of course, there are a lot of people who are interested, and it's really boring to run around all day, so of course everyone rushes to watch some entertainment programs. In the end, Bai Ye only selected five people: Ji Yunfei, Chen Qian, Liang Yu and two other soldiers, because the construction and defense of the camp still needed manpower, and everyone could not be allowed to follow, and the six people squeezed together, just enough to sit in a pickup truck.
White Night drove the pickup truck towards a wetland swamp near the camp, which was in a very special location, in the middle of a huge sandy field, such a strange terrain that is rarely seen on earth.
When he arrived at his destination, Bai Ye put a huge piece of bloody flesh on a hook, used an iron chain as a fishing line, and threw it far into the mud of the swamp, and then lay on the ground, waiting quietly. Half an hour later, when the sky was completely dark, the water in the swamp suddenly splashed, and a straight indentation appeared in the mud, rushing straight towards the "bait" of the white night.
Bai Ye said loudly: "Attention, the target is about to take the bait." β
As soon as the words fell, with a bang, a behemoth rushed out of the swamp and swallowed the piece of meat on the hook, which was a snake-like monster with a diameter of half a meter and a body length of more than ten meters, with a strange carapace on its skin, dozens of swimming tentacles on both sides of its body, and a strange mouthpart on its head. There is a spiral-shaped esophagus in the mouthparts, so when it swallows a piece of meat, it is natural that it will be hooked by a hook.
Bai Ye shouted, grabbed the iron chain and shook it hard, and dragged this behemoth out of the swamp, the strange insect was very fierce, seeing that it couldn't get rid of the shackles of the hook, it actually let out a sharp chirp, and rushed towards Bai Ye, Bai Ye laughed, suddenly took out a sniper crossbow, and shot out, and the bursting steel bullet just shot into the round mouthpiece, and exploded.
