Chapter 55: Wounded

The Great Elder in the rear had news yesterday that the power of the Life Stone was about to be exhausted, and it would be able to support it for two more days at most. After two days, the last shelter of the settlement will disappear completely.

There are already disgruntled voices among the settlers, who believe that if they change to a new camp, no matter how dangerous it is, they will always be able to survive for a while, at least longer than they are now.

It's just that everyone is afraid of Huang Quan's overwhelming force and doesn't dare to express their dissatisfaction.

Huang Quan has heard of it, but he doesn't know it, whenever he is in a desperate situation, there are always a lot of people who complain, and Huang Quan has been too lazy to distinguish or even kill. As long as they weren't stupid enough to say it to their own face, Huang Quan shouldn't know.

But where exactly is the shelter?

Looking at the still endless rainforest, Huang Quan was even a little shaken for a while, feeling that he should not believe the guidance of the so-called ancestral spirits of the settlement. But in the vast rainforest, without a map, if you don't follow the direction of the ancestors' spirits, where can you go?

The rainforest never seems to end.

Just when it seemed that the scene would repeat itself forever, a red light suddenly flashed in the corner of Huang Quan's eyes, which was the sign of an ogre!

Even such a warning signal is difficult to arouse Huang Quan's interest. There was a numbness everywhere in his body, and even his thoughts seemed to be half a beat slower, and he was even a little too lazy to think about how to deal with it.

It's just a cannibal, even if it's on physical instinct, you can shoot them to death.

However, the red light suddenly increased, and the color changed from pale red to scarlet. This means that they already have a certain threatening ability to Huang Quan, at least it is possible to hurt Huang Quan's body.

Huang Quan finally cheered up and turned and walked in the direction where the ogre appeared. The girl wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Huang Quan, the alert level he received was a bit high, and Huang Quan was not sure to take care of the girl in this situation.

Haruka's desire to fight did not allow her to stay away from the battle, and she pulled away and followed Huangquan far away. This means that she will be roaming the perimeter of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to hunt the fish that slip through the net.

This was barely accepted in Huangquan, so it was not stopped.

Huang Quan suddenly sped up his pace, and when he bypassed a big tree, he crashed directly into the team of cannibals!

The ogre clearly didn't expect the enemy to appear out of nowhere, and it was a monster in heavy armor. However, the war hammer in Huang Quan's hand was no joke, and with a whistling open, more than a dozen ogres were smashed away in the blink of an eye, clearing a space around him.

But the next battle situation was also beyond Huang Quan's expectations, as the thunderous roar continued to sound, a ball of steel shot out of the shotgun in the hand of the ogre warrior, and hit Huang Quan fiercely, causing him to stagger.

This team of cannibals is equipped with powerful shotguns, and the reaction speed of ogres is much faster than that of humans, and they are natural marksmen, even if they are in a hurry, the hit rate is quite amazing.

Huang Quan didn't notice it for a while, and as a result, he was shot more than a dozen times one after another.

Fortunately, although the shotguns in the hands of the ogres are powerful, they are all simple in structure and can only shoot single-shot, and the fire continuity is very poor, and after a roar, there is no follow-up.

The ogre warrior drew his slashing axe and roared and pounced on the Yellow Spring.

They were greeted by a barrage of warhammers!

Huang Quan's figure walked through the cannibals, and everywhere he went, the cannibals fell in pieces. In the blink of an eye, the last man-eater's head was smashed by the war hammer, and Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, this was the battle he was familiar with.

A group of cannibals with guns and assaults is really unaccustomed.

Before he had time to rest, another red dot appeared in Huang Quan's vision. They were fast and straight ahead, clearly attracted by the sound of gunfire in the battle.

This time, Huang Quan was no longer careless. Either way, it doesn't feel good to be bombarded by a shotgun at close range.

Huang Quan circled to the flank and rear of this wave of ogres, and attacked from the back of the group, killing more than a dozen ogres in a row, until he was discovered in the middle of the group. Despite this, he was not able to completely avoid the cannibal bombardment, and was shot several times.

After slaying this group of ogres, another wave appeared on the edge of the battlefield and began to approach.

It wasn't until the third group of ogres had all turned into corpses that the rainforest was quiet.

Huang Quan also felt tired, his lungs were on fire, and no matter how much he gasped, it was difficult to relieve the heat and thirst of his body. He looked around, surrounded by the corpses of cannibals, many of which had become distorted.

His war hammer happens to be a thick-skinned ogre nemesis, and the ogres who die under the hammer often have no wounds on the surface, but their internal bones and internal organs have been shattered.

A cannibal corpse not far away piqued Huang Quan's interest.

He was relatively small and held an oversized pistol, not the usual revolver, but a semi-automatic pistol with significantly more complex workmanship.

Of course, ogres have a completely different understanding of pistols than humans. IN HUANG QUAN'S OPINION, THE THING WITH A CALIBER OF MORE THAN 12MM IN THE HANDS OF THIS OGRE IS REALLY RELUCTANT TO CALL IT A PISTOL, AND THIS THING IS OBVIOUSLY USING HEAVY MACHINE GUN BULLETS.

But among the cannibals, this gun must be considered small and delicate, and its power is ordinary.

Huang Quan planned to pick up the pistol and look at it so that he could judge the level of craftsmanship of the cannibal. After taking a step, I suddenly felt a hot pain in my lower back, until I lost feeling in my thighs.

Huang Quan reached out and touched it, and saw that his palms were full of blood. Only then did I realize that most of the biochemical organs in that area had also lost their function.

Huang Quan inspected the wound, the armor had a big hole, it seemed that he was not very lucky in the battle just now, and there were probably several shots concentrated on this part. No matter how good the quality of the deck is, it can't stop the superimposed bombardment of this high-powered shotgun.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, at least Huangquan can still fight, but it will take a certain amount of time to recover, the key is that without the replenishment of the life stone energy, he will fall into the predicament when he just woke up, and the natural recovery speed of the injury is extremely slow.

Huang Quan's heart felt slightly heavy.

Each of the three waves of ogres was around fifty, well-armed, well-trained, and, crucially, deadly firearms. If there were no Yellow Springs, the settlement hunters would only be wiped out if they encountered any wave.

Once an ogre is equipped with a powerful firearm, the danger immediately multiplies.

But where did these cannibals come from?

As Huang Quan pondered, he suddenly remembered what the Great Elder had said that the shelter was surrounded by man-eaters, and each separated settlement had to carefully pass through the cannibal defenses in order to have a chance to survive in the rainforest.

With so many cannibals suddenly appearing here, and so strong, could it be that the shelter is not far away?

At this moment, there is no way back, and there is no room for hesitation, and it will not be long before the ogres will find out that three patrols have lost contact and send someone to search.

Thinking of this, Huang Quan called Yao over and asked her to inform the Great Elder to speed up with the people in the settlement and follow the mark left by Huang Quan, trying to get through the line of defense and reach the shelter before the ogre could react.

And their first stop is the battlefield here, where every hunter picks up a cannibal's shotgun to protect themselves.

At the same time, these cannibals have a lot of ammunition on them, more than ten rounds, less than three or five rounds, all of which are valuable materials.

After the girl left, Huang Quan briefly treated the wound and continued to search forward, leaving marks along the way.

In the rainforest, the Great Elder had a resolute face and walked quickly with the old and young in the settlement. At this moment, even the old woman was holding a shotgun in her hand, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

But the Great Elder's mood was even heavier, he knew very well that once he encountered such a cannibal armed to the teeth, the settlement would only be slaughtered.

Before Huang Quan's guidance, only a few samurai could use these guns, and now most of the hunters have been strengthened, but the actual combat effect is not optimistic. Listening to Yao, even Huang Quan was injured.

Arrows appear in front of the team and point to the side. He was responsible for finding the marks left by the Yellow Springs and giving directions to the team.

The Great Elder nodded, leading the entire settlement in the direction of the arrows.

Not far away, the arrow reappeared, with a solemn face, making a gesture of hiding and preparing for battle. The Great Elder did not panic, and ordered the settlement hunters to defend on the spot, and then called a few capable hunters to follow the flying arrows forward.

There was a faint roar in the distance, and occasionally a large tree could be seen falling, and it was clear that a fierce battle was raging.
