Chapter Ninety-Nine: Night and Day

Chen Xiao led the small-scale ethnic group established in Panlong Town, all the way along the rugged road in the mountains, towards X City, steadily moving forward, although the hot summer heat continued to give people a scorching sensation, but everyone's faces were rippling with joyful smiles, and from their bright eyes, they saw the long-lost confidence and desire.

After a day of uninterrupted arduous trekking, the 150-odd people successfully passed through the county seat of D County in the evening of the same day, and set up camp in an open wilderness outside the county seat of D County, intending to rest here for the night and wait for the morning of tomorrow morning to continue their journey.

In the course of this day's march, the sentinels sent by the escort team also found some surviving humans in various villages and towns in the mountains, but they were all small groups of three or five groups, as soon as they heard that a large team of survivors appeared, they immediately couldn't wait to follow the sentinels to visit Chen Xiao and others, and also bluntly said that they wanted to join Chen Xiao and others' group, hoping that Chen Leader would be kind enough to take them in.

As long as he doesn't look like a bad guy and is willing to rebuild his home with them, he will not refuse to stay in the group, firstly, to add vitality to the ethnic group and lay the foundation for future development and growth, and secondly, it is also out of the morality of saving the poor in his heart.

Because Chen Xiao and the others are now considered to be strong soldiers, so this time, they did not shy away from walking on the wide road in the countryside, so that they had a much greater chance of encountering other survivors, in short, at the end of the day, they took in a total of forty-two survivors of various ages.

The survivors did not know what kind of hardships and misery they had experienced, not only were they all ragged and yellow-skinned, but they were all timid and timid with a timid expression, mixed with eight weak women and six weak teenagers.

After these survivors accepted the care and encouragement of the new family of Chen Xiao and others, and after eating the meat they had not seen for a long time, they naturally thanked Chen Xiao and others incessantly, and regained their confidence in life, and at the same time made it clear that they would follow Chen Xiao and others to the death, and were willing to contribute all their strength to the development of this ethnic group......

Needless to say, the boring rush and the difficulty of the road, and after a day of continuous travel, everyone not only endured the sweat brought by the hot day, but also fully felt the steepness and difficulty of the mountain road after a disaster, coupled with the bumps of the day, the vast majority of personnel were already in a dry mouth and hungry state.

Chen Xiao and his companions are not very tired and hungry because of the relatively outstanding energy in their bodies, but those ordinary villagers who are not strong can feel unbearable, and the first-class ethnic group set up camp, they can't wait to get busy under the leadership of Yang Chengang and other representatives, and for a while, everyone makes a fire and carries water, and the food carried by the ethnic group is also distributed, looking impatient.

After the first-class group finished eating and making a slight adjustment, Chen Xiao led a part of the escort team and the hunting team to the depths of the mountains and forests, intending to make some reserves for the food of the group tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and also wanted to take this time to replenish the energy in his own body.

Although everyone has also encountered some mutant birds and beasts that haunt everywhere on the road, but the number is not considerable, often not waiting for these birds and beasts to slip away, they are shot by the men of the escort team and the hunting team, and everyone chooses to rush in Pingming, and they walk on a wide avenue, so the harvest is naturally very little, and it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the consumption of the entire group.

During Chen Xiao's hunting, the guard work of the camp was left to Guo Zirong to co-ordinate, and this time he entered the mountain, except for Li Han and the newly formed energy detective team, the other companions did not greet him, and the little fat man was sleepy, so he was not interested in this hunt at all, and he had already found a flat boulder, and slept peacefully.

Chen Xiao took people into the mountain this time, in addition to hunting some food, the rest was to lead the energy detective team to find the energy spars, his plan was that after entering the mountains, he would let Li Han lead the thirty men of the escort team and the hunting team to hunt on their own, while he led Zhang Jing and others to find the spars, and protect their safety along the way! But speaking to those men, it is still in the name of hunting, but it is just a beautiful name: the soldiers are divided into two ways and act separately.

After Chen Xiao and Li Han and the others set a time and place to meet for a while, they led the energy detective team to the depths of the mountain......

This night was undoubtedly a sleepless night for Chen Xiao and the others, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an all-nighter, because they were busy until more than five o'clock in the morning, and when the sky was already dark, they rushed to the place agreed with Li Han and others, and when they arrived here, they found that most of Li Han and the others had fallen into a deep sleep, leaving only a few people on guard.

When Chen Xiao saw this, he was naturally very embarrassed to apologize to Li Han and the others, and also promised that he would let these men take turns to rest for one night, and replace the next group of people tomorrow, and when the clan settled down, they would reward them well......

Originally, the two sides agreed on the time from half past three to four o'clock, but they didn't expect him, Zhang Jing and others to be more than an hour late, so they had to make these men who had worked hard for most of the night wait until now, and they were a little reluctant to think about it.

These men not only endured the hard trek during the day, but also had to work overtime at night to hunt food for the group, plus these men did not have such a strong physical fitness as Chen Xiao and others, and their endurance was naturally not as durable as Chen Xiao and others, and they had done their best to hold on until now......

After greeting each other for a while, they slowly returned to the camp of the clan together, and through the busyness of the middle of the night, the people and horses on both sides were also very fruitful, at least the prey on the surface seemed to be very weighty.

The men led by Li Han not only carried the corpses of seven large wild wolves, all of which looked like they were fangs, but they also worked together to carry several mutated colorful snakes, each of which was five or six meters long and the thickness of a bucket, all of which were mottled and hideous.

What surprised Chen Xiao and the others the most was that Li Han found a strange little beast out of nowhere, and was being held tightly in his arms at this time, with a very well-behaved pet form, which made people look shocked, didn't this little beast have undergone the mutation of mysterious energy? Otherwise, how could there be no wildness at all?

This little beast is about the size of an adult wild fox, it looks like a wolf dog's cub, it is fluffy all over its body, its gray-brown hair is smooth and shiny, and its bright eyes also sneak a glance at Chen Xiao and others from time to time, with an extremely frightened posture, which makes people feel pity when they look at it.

Sensing the puzzled gaze of Chen Xiao and the others, Li Han immediately explained to Chen Xiao and the others in a hurry.

It turned out that on the way to hunt before, they accidentally encountered five large, vicious-looking mutant mountain wolves, which looked about twice the size of adult wild wolves, and they were extremely scary, and thirty middle-aged men were shocked and shot four adult mountain wolves on the spot, but let one of them escape with injuries.

Everyone saw that the hunt was happy, and naturally chased after it, and after a while, they chased to the lair of this mountain wolf, and when they saw two huge mountain wolves jumping out of the nest again, they immediately continued to hunt with excitement.

After shooting these mountain wolves, Li Han and several men around him had the courage to enter the wolf's den, but they found nothing inside, only a cub of a mountain wolf was found in a patch of weeds.

After Li Han found this cub, he found that he was staring at himself with pitiful eyes, and kept shaking its tiny tail, Li Han was soft-hearted, and suddenly had pity, and took this mountain wolf cub out of the wolf's den, planning to keep it as a pet first, if it is really wild and untamable in the future, and there is something that hurts its companions, then it can only be executed by the killer.

After listening to Li Han's explanation, Chen Xiao and the others nodded with a clear face, and with a look of understanding and approval, since this little cub is slightly humane and lacks wildness, let's keep it for the time being! Anyway, it can't make any big waves, maybe it can become a pet wolf that everyone loves in the future?

Although most of the animals and domestic animals have been mutated and all of them have become ferocious and ferocious, including human pets in the past, such as cats, dogs, cattle and sheep, etc., this is not enough to show that animal cubs cannot return to their former nature.

Although their parents have been mutated by mysterious energy, they have not been transformed by a large amount of energy, and the energy in their breast milk has been diluted many times, and they may no longer have the ability to make animals manic and wild......

Li Han couldn't help but feel better when he saw that everyone agreed with him raising this cub, and also threatened to train the cub in his arms into a fighting pet, and when the time came, it would definitely open everyone's eyes.

Chen Xiao and the others also had a lot of gains, Zhang Jing and the other eight people not only carried more than a dozen mutated birds and beasts, including wild birds, wild foxes, hares, etc., but also two wild roe deer that rarely haunted the entire Th mountainous area, not only the meat was delicious, but also the number was quite precious.

However, what Li Han and the others didn't know was that Chen Xiao was still carrying a large iron fuel tank behind him, and the things contained in it were what Chen Xiao cared about the most.

In fact, after nearly a night of busyness, Chen Xiao's most important task is to find the energy crystal, so along the way, with his extraordinary eyesight and keen sense of smell, he gave priority to shuttling towards the mountains and forests with water sources, if he encounters a large meteorite, he will also stop and search for one or two, once he encounters a mountain stream or river source with a water source, he will call Zhang Jing and others to explore carefully, and must not let go of any piece of water, especially a cave or crypt with a water flow, which is his priority to explore.

As for the matter of hunting, there is no need for Zhang Jing and others to worry about it, with Chen Xiao's current strong strength, whether it is on the ground or in mid-air, most of the prey can not escape safely under his bone dagger, this is mainly because Chen Xiao has recovered as much as six or seven percent of the energy in his body after two days of gradual cultivation, and with his current strong physical fitness, dealing with ordinary prey is simply to catch it, and between gestures, the surrounding prey can die quietly.

And the prey harvested by Chen Xiao and the others was not deliberately searched by them at all, but in the process of searching for water sources and spars, they were carried and killed, and they accumulated so much unconsciously, even Chen Xiao himself was quite surprised, maybe this is the so-called unintentional planting of willows and willows! However, this also indirectly added some energy to Chen Xiao's body......
