Chapter 036: Advance Plot
buried the woman who had been suffering in a wooden coffin, and my anger disappeared, in fact, if you think about it, Zhao Yu's approach is understandable.
"Still angry?" Su Minyu walked up to me and said softly. I shook my head and smiled at her, but it just looked far-fetched.
"I heard about it, although I don't like Zhao Yu's approach either, I think he is very cold-blooded, but the result is that Caesar and they retreated, saving the lives of many civilians in disguise, including some of our team members, after all, Xia Kui, Zhu Yan and even me, may die in the war of the apes." Su Minyu hesitated, but still said her opinion.
"yes, I understand."
Caesar's move to kill humans in front of everyone affected the entire human stronghold, and there were many civilians who were alarmist, and everyone was in danger for a while, no matter how Dreyfus appeased, it could not be stopped in a short time. But I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but the people who spontaneously join the training of soldiers are unusually enthusiastic, and the most scarce thing in the entire stronghold is weapons and ammunition now. And our class of 'outsiders' naturally won't miss it, Zhao Yu proposed that Guan Long be responsible for training newcomers to be familiar with the use of firearms, Wang Hao and other three young people who have only experienced firearms on the computer screen in their lives, needless to say, they are happy to train every day, Xia Kui and Zhu Yan The two girls are not much interested, as for Gao Ji, he has a high interest in the boxing ring found from the bottom of the weapon warehouse, and he wears the fist ring all day long and hits the tree pole, and the surface of the tree pole that he has been targeted all day has been dented and shattered, which shows that he has trained hard. Luo Ya was also not interested in firearms, and picked out two machetes about one meter long, made of carbon steel, with a thin and wide blade and a thick tip from the arsenal.
While the shooting training at the base was in full swing, time passed day by day, and the little energy left in the base was also consumed. Malcolm also went to the forest because the stronghold's energy was running out and it was necessary to get the forest's small power dam back up and running, and to redirect the power lines to the cities in the north. Electricity not only means light, but also hope in the last days of closed news.
"We're two weeks away from running out of energy." In the conference room, Dreyfus said to me, Zhao Yu said, Malcolm bowed his head and was silent.
"I know that you have a good ability to defend yourself and explore the forest, so I hope that you and your companions will lead the soldiers in the area where you live to teach the arrogant apes a lesson and open the way to a small power station. If there is no energy source, and even the symbol of human civilization does not exist, the consequences will be immeasurable for the already feared stronghold. Dreyfus said helplessly.
"Okay, but you must do your best to protect my three female companions." Zhao Yu said without thinking.
Almost as soon as Zhao Yu agreed, the quaint metallic watch on everyone's wrist vibrated slightly: "For every chimpanzee killed, 1 reward point is awarded, for every orangutan killed, 5 reward points are awarded, for every blackback gorilla killed, 10 reward points are awarded, for killing Koba, 200 reward points are awarded, D-level side plot once, Caesar killed, 500 reward points, C-level side plot once......"
"No!" Malcolm suddenly looked up and firmly denied. When Dreyfus looked at him incomprehensibly, Malcolm explained, "To do this is tantamount to a direct war against hundreds of chimpanzees in disguise, and it is extremely painful for both humans and apes!" We can't afford more casualties. ”
"But we're running out of energy! That dam was the only chance, the war had to go, and when the energy ran out, I couldn't calm the crowd with an electric horn. Energy is not only for us to connect with the outside world and find survivors, but it also leads us back to our former lives, and if we lose energy, you and I will lose all the strongholds we have worked so hard to build. Dreyfus said emotionally. He knew very well that once civilization was gone, the negativity of human nature would not be dissipated like darkness.
At least let me talk to it...... Give me three days, and if that doesn't work, do as you do. Malcolm frowned, hesitated for a long time, and said to us, "Mr. Zhao Yu, before leading the soldiers into the forest, are you and your companions willing to go with me in advance?" ”
"Is this a disguised encouragement of hunting?" Roya looked at the message on his watch and sneered.
"Let's not." I frowned, and finally blurted out the words in my heart: "Zhao Yu, have you really decided to go to the forest again?" If Caesar doesn't even see you and starts fighting, he really won't be able to come back this time. ”
"In any case, I promised Malcolm, you can go with you, and I won't force you if you don't go, after all, it's too risky, but I'm sixty percent sure that I can get out of it. So far, the watch only shows the reward rules, but there is no main quest, the human side is almost ready, we can no longer sit back and let the plot push us, but we should take the initiative! Zhao Yu looked around and said unwaveringly: "This is already an unchangeable fact, and the reward points are very important to us, there may be more rewarding tasks in the forest, at least, there is a greater chance to kill Koba and Caesar." ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, will you get a tiger? It should be very exciting, if you really have sixty percent certainty, anyway, after practicing knives for a few days, cutting trees all day long, boring, just have a chance to enjoy your body and mind. Roya patted the two bright and crisp machetes wrapped around his waist with strips of cloth.
"Reserve a share for me, it's also boring to hit the stump, and it's good to get some rewards while honing your boxing skills." Gao Ji said.
"Since you're all gone, there's no reason to pull us down, and you've practiced good marksmanship, so there's no reason why you shouldn't show it well." Wang Hao and the three of them were eager to try, and their faces were full of anticipation that they couldn't hide. That's right, these three young students, who have never touched a real firearm, are now full of confidence and can engage in real gun battles, so there is no reason to miss it.
"Where's Guan Long?" Su Minyu looked at me who was hesitant and asked.
Guan Long shook the scabbard on the side of his leg: "It's really boring these days, it's good to go to the forest to explore, besides, I have to pay back the grievances last time, and if you kill someone in front of me, you will die." ”
Now that all the male members of the squad have gone, and even the newcomers have volunteered, I have no reason not to go, nor can I let them look down on them. Su Minyu, the only woman in the team who had the ability to protect herself, also took the initiative to follow, which made Luo Ya admire them in their hearts.
"Look at the way you all want to kill, don't be bored if you can't fight when the time comes." Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and a request that was sixty percent sure of completing Malcolm's safe and sound was brewing in his mind.
The next day, the rain continued to fall, and a gloomy fog floated in the atmosphere. Two off-road vehicles with supplies and guns on their roofs were followed by a truck with the same roof full of equipment, speeding to the other end of the bridge in the rain. In the first two off-road vehicles, in addition to Zhu Yan and Xia Kui, all the members of the reincarnation team, there were Ellie and Malcolm. As for Xia Kui and Zhu Yan, let Dreyfus protect their safety in the stronghold. In the latter truck sat six well-trained soldiers who barely knew a little about mechanical engineering.
In the pouring rain, three cars marched through the forest, leaving deep tire marks on the muddy road.
"Protect Malcolm for seven days and kill five people randomly!" The sudden voice of the 'Lord God' rang in everyone's heads, and we glanced at each other, knowing full well that this trip would not be too pleasant.
In the original plot, Malcolm entered the lair of the ape tribe alone, which was based on the premise that the ape tribe and humans did not have a deep hatred, and now, our side has seriously injured dozens of orangutans, and Caesar has killed a woman in front of humans. In this meeting, even if we are willing to communicate with the apes in a low and friendly voice, those upright orangutans may not have the slightest room for negotiation. Therefore, for the safety of Malcolm, and for the lives of the five members of the team, we said that we would not let Malcolm enter the forest alone, but too many people entering the territory of the ape clan would definitely annoy Caesar, so Zhao Yu only insisted on Guan Long, me, Su Minyu, and asked Ellie to bring a medical kit and go with Malcolm.
The rain in the forest was especially heavy, and even with a wide raincoat, the rain continued to seep into the clothes, and the road was in a really bad condition, so we walked for a long time and finally saw signs of the existence of the apes. Their civilization is very similar to the primitive tribes that have just opened their minds, and the eyes are piled up with dead branches and tree poles, and the rudiments of modern civilization are just beginning to take shape, but the most eye-catching thing is that they hang the heads of the bulls and antelopes of Bai Sensen, which is both a warning and a decoration. As he walked along the path, Malcolm became more and more frightened, and the stacks of dead branches and firewood that were stacked on both sides seemed to be a sheltering wall.
"Here we are." Zhao Yu warned in a low voice. With our keen senses, we spotted the hidden enemy before Malcolm, and I walked over to Malcolm without a trace. The noise I heard in my ears became more and more obvious, because there were too many orangutans. Until Malcolm and Ellie realized that they were under our protection, the dead branches on both sides, on the treetops, in front of the road, and in the back, were all chimpanzees with rain-soaked hair! Because there are so many of them, they are like dark clouds on a rainy day, covering our light.
"They have progressed, and they actually know how to sentry and surround." The four of them faced outward in a square shape, protecting Malcolm and Ellie in the middle, and Guan Long was still in the mood to tease at this time. My heartbeat has accelerated to the extreme, in order to show sincerity, Zhao Yu does not recommend that we bring guns, at this moment, except for Guan Long, I am unarmed, and it is inevitable that my heart will be weak.
(Zhao Yu, don't let me down)
