Chapter 246: Nightmare
With the efforts of Han Feng and the others, the surviving insect monsters quickly died and fled. The bug crisis in the north of the base has been completely solved by this time. The residents of the base also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While Han Feng and the others were cleaning up the remaining insect monsters, the residents in the base also walked out of the base to collect the corpses of the insect monsters outside the city wall. These things are all food, and not even a thigh of a bug monster can't be wasted.
Of course, Han Feng didn't have to worry about collecting the corpses of the insect monsters, after he cleaned up the corpses of the insect monsters, he took people back to the base. When he returned, he didn't let the rest of the group disperse, but gathered everyone together to discuss the bug attack.
"I don't know if you've noticed that the number of insect monsters that appeared this time is unmatched in the past. In just four days, the number of these bugs has increased every day. In four days, they were able to build more than a dozen nests. I don't think everyone thinks that these bugs can reproduce in four days. Even if they can reproduce quickly, they won't have food. To get food, the base is the best option. But these insect monsters are just besieging and not attacking, I don't know if you have any opinions. Han Feng said after all the important people in the base were seated.
There was a whisper of discussion in the room. In the end, no one was able to explain why the worms didn't attack the base in a big way. Even Dr. Hu couldn't explain why there were so many bugs in the space of four days.
Han Feng cleared his throat and quieted the whisperer before he said, "There is a golden insect monster in the wormhole, we can temporarily understand that this golden insect monster with low intelligence has made a wrong choice. But there is another thing you have noticed, that is, in these four days, why did not a single monster appear in the three directions of the south, east, west, and west? Monsters in the other three directions won't all die. And why those flying monsters help bugs. If it's controlled by the golden insect monster, then why not control some other monsters and control the flying monsters? ”
"Maybe the golden insect monster felt that there was no air force in his team, so he summoned some flying monsters to help." Shi Tao touched his chin and said.
There was a faint burst of laughter in the room, and everyone didn't take Shi Tao's words to heart. They all wondered in their minds why only flying monsters appeared, and no other monsters appeared. And in the three directions of south, east and west, why no monsters have appeared. You must know that in the past, there were monsters in any direction. Even if the residents of the base have hunted a large number of monsters around the base in order to have their stomachs full, the residents can only hunt some second-level monsters and some lone insect monsters. It's impossible to kill all the monsters. It can't be that they see their companions being hunted and run away in fear.
Targets the anomalies of insect monsters and the disappearance of surrounding monsters. Han Feng finally decided to send scouts to reconnoiter in different directions, making sure to figure out what kind of planes these monsters were doing. After that, ask how many people in the base have now completed the critical evolution. And those small groups that read have those.
In the end, Han Feng found Liu Xing and carefully asked him when the protective cover equipment would be put into use. Liu Xing told Han Feng that if nothing else, the protective shield would be able to protect all the areas within the wall in two days.
With the exact time given by Liu Xing, Han Feng sent the only two airships and asked them to find a suitable place in HB Province to prepare to establish some smaller bases. In order to divide the population of the base. At the same time, a team of people was sent to collect the materials needed to make the protective shield. And gave Liu Xing another important task, that is, to find out as soon as possible how the generator he brought back from the bottom of the sea worked. Otherwise, even if a large number of protective covers are produced, it will be in vain without an energy system.
Liu Xing confidently gave Han Feng a package ticket. For the energy system, Liu Xing has mastered some basic things, otherwise he would not be able to convert energy stones into electricity by relying on a bunch of miscellaneous things. Now that he has a more advanced power stone generator in front of him, he believes it will be easier to research.
Construction of the base for the installation of protective shield equipment began at the base, and construction began at the other two bases. Once Han Feng's protective shield here is successfully activated, the next to activate the protective shield equipment will definitely be the other two bases.
On the second day after the siege of the insect monsters was lifted, Han Feng asked Meng Hao to drive the airship to send the production drawings of the protective shield to Chen Yi, the northern base. And let Meng Hao tell Chen Yi that after Han Feng's base shield worked, he would announce the matter of the shield to the world. Hopefully, the northern capital will be ready when the time comes.
With the detailed drawings made, Chen Yi was also relieved. It's just that he probably didn't expect that even if he made the protective cover equipment, there would not be enough energy system to provide energy, and it would only be a pile of scrap metal.
Scouts sent out from the base searched within thirty kilometers of the base. They found many monsters outside the base. These monsters either live in groups or alone. It wasn't as Han Feng guessed, the monsters all disappeared. It's just that they are all about seven or eight kilometers away from the base. As for why these monsters didn't come out to make trouble when the insect monsters attacked the city, no one could explain it clearly. The best explanation is only what Shi Tao said, these monsters may not be the same as the golden insect monster.
The heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped. The sun finally revealed its full body. The whole land was once again shining brightly.
When the rain stopped, people were happy, and the plants that were sprouting in the soil were even happier than humans. It doesn't take long after a heavy rain for many plants to grow on the ground that people have never seen before. Because of the large amount of rain, there are countless monster eggs washed on land, and I believe that it will not be long before a large number of monsters break out of their eggs. At that time, I am afraid that humanity will go through another bitter battle.
In the field, a man and a woman walk in an area covered with alien plants. These plants are like weeds, covering the surrounding mountains. Among these alien plants, there is a plant that resembles a radish. After people tried this plant, it was known that it was not poisonous and completely edible. This man and woman are looking for an alien radish that is only the length of a palm.
The woman's backpack already contained a lot of alien turnips. The man carried two dead crab monsters and a goat-like monster on his back. It can be said that the harvest of the two today is very good. Not only did he hunt a fire goat monster and two lonely insect monsters, but he also collected a lot of turnips. These things were enough for the two of them to eat for a while.
Just as the two were about to go back, the sharp-eyed woman found a woman lying in the grass on a hillside. The two of them ran at once, and the woman tested the sniff of the man who had fallen in the grass with her fingers, and found that the man was still breathing.
"Alive. It seems that he must have passed out due to his injuries. Shall we save her? The woman asked the man.
In the past, when I saw someone falling on the road, not many people dared to come forward to save them. Although it is said that it is now not afraid of blackmail by the rescued, but in the current environment, saving a person requires an extra ration. And if you don't know the identity of the other party, you may get yourself in trouble.
"Since she is alive, let's get her back first. If she has any bad intentions, drive her away. I don't think she's a hurt woman. As he spoke, the man took off what he was carrying and placed the wounded woman on his shoulder.
The danger that the man speaks of is certainly not the danger to the life of the rescued. Instead, they are worried that after the rescued person wakes up, he will rely on his own strength to disadvantage them. If it weren't a wounded woman in front of them, but a man, I'm afraid these two people would really not be saved.
On a hill not far away, two or three hundred people lived. This man and woman who went out to find food came from exactly where they came from. Despite the fact that the hill is not very high, the road up the mountain is very steep. Perhaps due to quarrying many years ago, only one side of the hill has a road up the hill, and the other three sides are already cliffs.
The terrain on the top of the mountain is very flat, and there is no problem with living two or three hundred people. There are quite a few hills like this in the vicinity. It is inhabited by more or less people. A man and a woman who went out to collect food were husband and wife, and their families had all died in the run. The two of them fled here and stayed.
The return of the two did not attract the attention of the others, and in their own residence, the wife washed the wounds on the injured woman's body with water. After the husband had cooked the crab monster, the wife fed the injured woman some broth and left.
Where they lived, half on the ground and half underground. It was purposely built to hide when a monster arrived.
At night, it is pitch black on the top of the mountain, and the people who live here do not even dare to use oil lamps and torches. Because they are afraid that flying monsters that are active at night will find the fire. At this time, the husband and wife who rescued a person were sitting back to back outside the house, looking at the stars they had not seen for several days. The woman they had rescued was lying in the room. At this time, the sleeping woman was sweating a lot on her forehead, and a restless look appeared on her face, and her body trembled a little. The old blanket that covered her body slipped off because of the woman's trembling, revealing the silver-gray dress that the woman was wearing. If outsiders see a woman like this, they can tell at a glance that the woman is having a terrible nightmare.
