Chapter 44: Seeing the Light of Day Again
Several combat off-road vehicles roaring at the full throttle, and another team that had scattered out also gathered.
The more than 30 people in the cold winter convoy all gathered at the place where the signal flares were fired, and used various equipment such as armor-piercing cannons and energy guns to aim at the humans next to the blood worms.
Char also raised a pistol, but he was still very frightened when he saw the other party gnaw off such a big heart, and now he drank the poisonous blood flowing from the insect corpse.
The strongest team in the convoy stood in front of him, secretly signaling to everyone behind him to be on high alert, and then walked a few steps there, ready to ask about the origin of this uninvited guest.
Before he could ask, the other party spoke first.
"Where is this? What are the other dates? ”
The hoarse and weak voice pierced the air and fell clearly into everyone's ears.
Qiu Yang was slightly stunned, but he still replied immediately: "Saha Desert South, coordinates (489,288,124), now it is the ephemeris of October 10, 2022. ”
He has several years of experience in going out, and he knows very well the importance of valuing peace when he goes out, not to mention that there is also the corpse of a C-class zerg here, which undoubtedly shows that the other party is at the same level of general energy as himself, and his strength is stronger.
He doesn't want to have a conflict with the other party if it's not necessary.
"Three months...."
The man muttered to himself, his solidified bangs in front of him, and no one could know what emotions his eyes were revealing at this time.
This depression lasted for a long time, and everyone in the cold winter convoy was silent, and finally Char saw the strange man clench his fist and smash the corpse behind him.
When the dark energy contained in it erupted, the sturdy body of the blood worm was dented again, and the shattered scale armor flew and scattered.
After this emotional catharsis, the man said slowly: "I want to exchange the materials of this blood worm with you for some supplies." ”
Qiu Yang, who led the entire team, narrowed his eyes, measured the strength between the two sides, and found that there was no reason to refuse, so he replied concisely: "Okay!" ”
.........
In the square space surrounded by linen, the man dipped the towel in his hand into the stainless steel basin and scrubbed it, and the original clear water had been stained black by mud and sand.
The surface of the water reflected the wiped face, and it was Qin Ming, who had entered the Sea of Death before, but he was much paler and thinner than before.
This time he was able to escape from the Sea of Death, and he himself was a little surprised.
At that time, it was indeed difficult to squeeze out his potential, so he plunged into the swamp nearby, and the moment he closed his eyes, he was even ready to fall asleep.
I didn't expect to wake up from the state of chaos in the end, and gradually recover my mobility and combat ability.
During this time, he found that the soil around him was relatively firm, not the soft and moist ground of the Sea of Death, and he judged that he was out of danger.
This is very strange, after pondering and meditating without a conclusion, it can only be attributed to the fact that after falling into a coma, his body instinctively dug a tunnel to escape.
Although the neat and smooth walls of the pit show that the truth is not so simple, other strange things have happened to him, and he naturally does not have to drill the horns.
Dig a tunnel above to escape, and by chance enter the underground nest of the blood worm.
Dominated by hunger desires, he ventures into the worm mouth and wreaks havoc on the other party's fragile interior.
As a result, he didn't expect that this blood worm not only provided him with nutritious flesh and blood, but also took himself out of the ground and encountered other humans.
It saved him a lot of effort.
After a brief wipe, he changed into the clothes and boots prepared by the winter team, lifted the curtain and walked out.
When he saw Qin Ming again, Qiu Yang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the former to be so young.
But he still quickly restrained his surprise and strode over, "Brother Qin, I have everything you need, I have people ready." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Team Qiu."
The muscles in his face were still a little stiff, but Qin Ming still squeezed out a faint smile and thanked the other party for his help.
Qiu Yang waved his hand and replied: "You're welcome, it's just to help each other outside, not to mention Brother Qin, you also pay resources, so it's still our side that takes advantage." ”
"By the way, Brother Qin, take the liberty of asking, is there a large-scale insect swarm around here?"
Qiu Yang asked this question, not entirely to knock on the side, but also to really worry about the safety of the team.
The young man in front of him was stronger than himself, but he was so seriously injured that he couldn't help but care.
Seeing the other party's intentions, Qin Ming shook his head lightly and said calmly: "There are basically no insect swarms here, they have basically entered the Sea of Death, and only a very small number of species that cannot adapt to the environment will be scattered here." ”
"As for the wounds on my body, they were inflicted elsewhere...."
Seeing that Qin Ming fell silent and didn't continue, Qiu Yang didn't reveal his scars and talked endlessly about the situation of their team.
"Our cold winter team recently took over the mission, and came here to search for these mutated plants and investigate the distribution of the zerg.....
Qin Ming's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "When will the military release this mission?" ”
"Almost half a month ago, there were a lot of trivial requirements, but the contribution points were considerable...."
After learning the information he wanted from Qiu Yang's mouth, he didn't stay long, carrying a small package on his back and walking in the northeast direction.
The cold winter convoy looked at the distant back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the warriors who survive alone in the wild are good, they tend to have withdrawn and eccentric personalities, and it is undoubtedly a good thing that the two sides are separated without conflict.
Char hurriedly ran down from the off-road vehicle, still holding a few tubes of antidote reagents in his hands, "Huh? Uncle Gao, is that person already gone? ”
"Let's go, what are you going to do again?"
"He ate the flesh of the blood worm just now, he must have been poisoned, I want to trade my treasure with him, why did he leave?" Char was puzzled.
"You kid!"
The strong man surnamed Gao rubbed the young man's head vigorously, and said with a hearty smile: "If the other party needs it, it will be your turn to make a move." ”
"I'll just teach you a little more knowledge, and listen to it well. The general energy level has a stronger physique, as well as a variety of abilities, and is much more resistant to toxins than we are. ”
"So powerful?!"
Char's eyes widened, but he didn't know that the senior in front of him actually had something to say.
That is, people who have been invaded by poison, no matter how strong their resistance is, there will be some small situations, and an alien like Qin Ming, who is unharmed throughout the whole process, has never heard of it at all.....
The desertified land is incomparably vast, the weathered and eroded rocks are scattered and piled up, and some of the tenacious vegetation still survives in this land, but basically all of them have changed, and the appearance and form are very different from those of a few years ago.
Once a long time since the river dried up, it has now become a deep and wide ravine.
The ravine winds hundreds of miles to the north to a rift valley where the military has set up a small camp to supply people and monitor the surrounding area.
Qin Ming, who had bid farewell to the cold winter convoy, was walking along the edge of the ravine at this time, and he was about to go to this nearest camp.
The military already knew the situation on this side of the Sea of Death, so why didn't they send the main force over to sweep it, but just did some painless reconnaissance and issued some cover-up missions......
Did the colonel put the bait for him to come here just so that he could see a bleak future?
After waking up, these mysteries have been haunting his mind and are difficult to dispel.
Maybe only by contacting the other party can you know the real answer.
