Chapter 198: Slash and burn
Early the next morning, Leng Hao and Wang Wei each led a small team to set off in two different directions.
Their mission is to search for unknown paths, try to capture the corresponding Amida protozoa infection alive, and also search for supplies.
Because Gao Shiping had already started to assemble the assembly line to make crossbows, the emergence of this long-range weapon greatly enhanced the team's sense of security, and Leng Hao was able to send two teams.
Of course, because of yesterday's incident, Liu Siyuan and Xiao Fei were divided into two teams.
At the same time, also to test the practicality of the car, the two teams each rode in a car.
"Let's go!"
Leng Hao stood on the skylight, waving to the people, and the two off-road vehicles also started slowly.
…………
"It's better to drive."
Ma Tian skillfully operated the steering wheel and drove through the streets.
"We're kind of a shotgun."
Li Xinhong, who was sitting behind him, stroked the crossbow in his hand and sighed a little.
"Don't just think about the crossbow, pay attention to the paths around you and see if you can find some supplies."
Leng Hao was directing Liu Siyuan, Xu Manli and another female player named Li Hong, who came to train in rotation.
As the integration of the team was gradually completed, Leng Hao also consciously let the women in the team begin to participate in various exploration operations.
Women can't just be involved in logistics, then their team status will decline very quickly.
And this time, Liu Siyuan and Li Xinhong were formed in a team, which was also to alleviate their contradictions.
But now that I see the two of them who don't care about each other, it doesn't seem to be very good.
This off-road vehicle repaired by Wang Xiaohui has a lot of internal machinery.
You can't drive at the high speeds you used to, but at least it's durable, and you don't need drag racing on the roads of the end of the world anyway.
"We've been driving for half an hour."
Xu Manli looked at her Bulgari watch with some vigilance, this thing is also a little treasure in the team.
In the past, people were more and more accustomed to using mobile phones to check the time, but without electricity, all mobile phones lost their function.
"This Huanshan, that is, the supermarket building, is a gathering place for people, and there are some hillsides here."
Leng Hao poked his head out and looked at the scenery around him.
In fact, these mountainous areas, where there are no traces of human beings, present a different kind of beauty.
"Hey, in front, in that treetop, there seems to be a house!"
Facing Leng Hao's reminder, Ma Tian immediately accelerated and drove the car towards that side.
After only two minutes, the eyes of the people appeared several small bungalows along the road, with a staircase leading to the depths.
"Get out of the car, pay attention!"
The heavy Grand Cherokee slowly stopped, kicking up a puff of dust.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Xinhong opened the door, looked at it carefully, and got out of the car.
Subsequently, Leng Hao, Liu Siyuan, Xu Manli, Li Hong, and several people got off the bus in turn.
"Captain, shall we park the car on the side?"
Ma Tian, who then got out of the car, was a little hesitant.
The current Grand Cherokee is covered with thick round-hole iron plates and is an out-and-out armored luxury car.
Although they have the key, if someone punctures the tire, they will be in big trouble.
"In this way, you park the car in the middle of the road, and you stay in the car, and by the way, you are responsible for being a guard post."
Leng Hao can only arrange Ma Tian like this.
And Leng Hao's move made Liu Siyuan, who was silent on the side, even more vigilant.
"You two girls, remember, don't rush into these rooms."
"Make a noise first, see if you can draw out the monster. If not, kick the door again. Once kicked away, wait a few seconds before entering the room. ”
Li Xinhong once again reiterated to Xu Manli the important focus of the search.
At this time, Leng Hao made a gesture to Liu Siyuan and handed him a war knife.
"Stay safe, if there are enemies, it's best to lure them out and let them solve them with crossbows."
"Huh? Well. ”
Liu Siyuan glanced at Leng Hao in some surprise and took over the sturdy and heavy sword.
These bungalows didn't seem to be in any danger, and after Xu Manli and Li Hong carefully explored it, they came to report back.
"Captain, there are no monsters in here, there is no food in it, and a lot of daily necessities have been taken away."
"Let's try to walk along that mountain path."
Leng Hao looked around again and walked towards the mountain road behind the bungalow.
Where there is a road, there are traces of human activity, and maybe some supplies can be found.
"There are corpses here!"
Li Hong suddenly shouted a little nervously.
When Leng Hao and the others looked, they only saw that on the side of the mountain road, several piles of white bones had gradually weathered.
"Be careful, everybody."
Leng Hao kicked the dry bones on the ground with his foot and gestured to the people.
When people walk up the small steps up this mountain road, it will suddenly open up after a while.
A small pond with a field of vegetables on the edge and an old hut in the middle.
This kind of idyllic scenery made Xu Manli and them a little dazed.
But the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the weeds on both sides of the mountain road, a somewhat fierce voice emerged.
"What are you! All lay down their arms! ”
Leng Hao and Li Haoran blocked Xu Manli and the others behind them and raised the weapons in their hands.
"We are survivors, here to find food."
As soon as Leng Hao's words came out, a flying arrow shot directly out of the grass.
"Whoosh!"
The flying arrow shot into the dirt in front of Leng Hao and them, and the iron tail of the arrow trembled slightly.
"You are not welcome here, go back!"
"Hey, we don't mean anything."
Leng Hao shouted loudly as he retreated.
"Do you have any monsters like that around here? Let's kill that monster. ”
The man in the weeds was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Drive along the road, there's a lot of National Highway 23 over there."
"You're so strange, do you think you can keep your home alone?"
Li Hong, who was standing behind Li Xinhong, asked a little unpleasantly.
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that!"
"We don't have food here, don't blame me for being rude if you step forward."
The man hiding in the grass said without flinching.
"Okay, okay, let's go. The national highway will be in that direction. ”
Leng Hao arched Liu Siyuan behind him with his back: "Let's retreat first!" ”
Ma Tian, who was a little bored sitting in the car, looked at Leng Hao, who was a little depressed walking down the mountain, poked his head out and asked loudly, "Captain, what's the matter?" ”
"Don't mention it, there's a slash-and-burn pen."
Li Xinhong replied angrily.
It's just that Leng Hao didn't know it, just above their heads, a pair of dark eyes were watching them cautiously.
"You're just writing hard. Just a few people, amazing! ”
