Chapter 193: Knife Hunting
Liang Ping's words made Ling Tao puzzled, and he immediately looked at him in amazement, with an inquiring expression.
Shaking his head, Liang Ping said: "Xihe City, originally a county seat, is still a county with a large population, the original population is close to 500,000, more than the population of many city-level cities, the urban area is very large, but, half a month ago, a living dead disaster broke out, at that time the official class did not respond in time, when the living dead disaster spread, nearly 300,000 people became the living dead in one night, and the rest of the people, urgently evacuated to an area, all aspects of hard work, to settle down."
When he said this, Liang Ping sighed, shook his head and continued: "The entire urban area, three-quarters of which has become a paradise for the living dead, and the remaining quarter is where the surviving people in Xihe City live and survive. Can you imagine that terrible sight"?
Liang Ping's words made Ling Tao shudder, what is the concept of hundreds of thousands of living dead Ling Tao can't imagine, in the face of those murderous living dead, I'm afraid that an army will have to pay a terrible price if it wants to get rid of it.
But the question also came, Ling Tao asked in surprise: "Since there are so many living dead people outside the area where they live, why do the people of Xihe City still live here?" Why not evacuate, or destroy all the living dead? The government has invested a lot, and it should be able to do this, right?"
Ling Tao's words made Liang Ping's face show a hint of incomprehension, and he sighed: "It's not easy to say, evacuating is a good way, but more than 200,000 people, how to evacuate?" Where to evacuate? It is simply impossible for a superior city, where the population is almost burst, and it is not realistic to establish a new gathering in other places, who would dare to risk the supreme mutant beast in the wilderness? As for the extermination of hundreds of thousands of living dead, no joke, not to mention that 'those people' are now fighting for power and profit, how much does it cost to exterminate hundreds of thousands of living dead? I'm afraid that sending a division of regular troops to do it may not be able to do it, and I will have to bear the responsibility of bringing the virus of the living dead to the place where I live to cause a bigger disaster, besides, who has the experience to take care of this place 'those people'? All of them can only use the current strength of West River City to keep the living dead out of the living quarters, so that they can live with each other as neighbors."
Ling Tao opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say a word, yes, in such an environment now, everywhere is in chaos, and it is too late for each to take care of each other, who still has so much energy to manage a county?
This cannot be said to be a sadness, but a reality!
"In that case, then I've heard that there is also merit in killing the living dead, and there should be many hunters who go to the area of the living dead to hunt them, right?" Ling Tao grinned, and finally said weakly.
"There are hunter squads that go to those places to hunt the living dead, but they don't dare to go deep, they can only be on the periphery, and they must have strong firepower, otherwise no one dares to guarantee that they will retreat, and more hunters, even if they are facing more ferocious and dangerous mutant beasts, do not dare to provoke pieces of the living dead", Liang Ping said helplessly.
Ling Tao was silent, as he understood the current situation, the more he understood what kind of situation the current environment has endangered, this is not something that human beings can resist, it is the development of nature that has created the current situation, an inconspicuous earthquake at the beginning, who could have predicted that it would change the subversion of the entire human civilization?
Seeing that Ling Tao didn't speak, Liang Ping said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the area occupied by the living dead can be called a treasure land, the shopping malls in that area, whether it is clothes, cars or even food, if you can get it back, you can exchange it for a lot of good things, you know, more than 200,000 people live here, everything is poor, no matter how bad it is, sell it to the official, they transport it to a bigger city, and the demand is also very large, moreover, in the area occupied by the living dead, there are more than a dozen banks, all kinds of gold, silver and jade shops, Get those things, it's all wealth"!
Ling Tao smiled bitterly, how could he not hear Liang Ping's subconscious meaning that he had to be qualified to get it, and in the face of the overwhelming living dead, I am afraid that few people really have the courage to go to those places to 'hunt for treasures'.
The two of them chatted all the way forward, and the others gradually became familiar with each other, chatting with each other, either telling their own experiences, or complaining to each other, or 'looking forward to the future', but the villagers who came out of Zhoujia Village strictly abided by Ling Tao's admonition, talked less, and tried not to reveal the details of Zhoujia Village.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and if someone knows that there is a relatively safe place in the depths of the mountains, it is not good if someone has a different mind and runs there to occupy it with powerful firepower.
Walking and walking, Ling Tao suddenly condensed in his heart, looked up at the front, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, he had lived in Zhoujia Village for so long, and had dealt with mutant beasts so many times, for the appearance of mutant beasts, he had formed an instinctive sense of crisis, and it was precisely when he felt that kind of crisis that he signaled everyone to stop.
"Everyone's attention", Liang Ping raised his eyebrows, also felt this crisis, and reminded loudly.
The people present were all people who often dealt with mutant beasts, and they reacted quickly, with weapons in hand, and looked around vigilantly.
The people who came out of Zhoujia Village all clenched the spears in their hands, and most of Liang Ping's people pulled out the Xueliang machetes they carried with them, and a few people took out their guns directly, from which it can be seen that the equipment gap between the two sides, it is not an exaggeration to say that the firepower of a gun may be able to withstand the combat effectiveness of more than ten Zhoujia Village villagers, of course, in the case of opening up the distance.
The grass on the side of the road in front of them parted, and a snake's head the size of a basketball stretched out, and then its entire body appeared on the road in front of them, staring at them with cold eyes.
"It's a mutated cauliflower snake, non-venomous", when he saw this snake, Liang Ping said for the first time.
This snake is more than ten meters long, fifteen meters long, and its head is higher than a floor, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"There are the most snakes, rats, insects and ants in the wild, and this season, when snakes are catching prey and preparing for hibernation, snakes appear extremely frequently," Ling Tao said.
"Yes, around the city, there are not many large animals, but there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants," Liang Ping nodded.
Maybe it's because as hunters, they have more mutant beasts to face, because they don't seem nervous when they see mutant beasts, but they can still judge them.
"It's just a snake, shoot it, hey, there is such a harvest on the way back, get it back, at least you can change a pistol", Liang Ping smiled.
Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Bullets are money, why waste money."
"Do you have a better way"? Liang Ping looked at Ling Tao in surprise and asked.
Ling Tao smiled and didn't speak, but untied the horn bow on his body, and a Mitsubishi arrow was placed on the bowstring, although the eleven shots of the bow a few hours ago had hit his limit, but after a few hours, it had already recovered.
They were thirty or forty meters away from the snake in front of them, and after a few words, the snake had already swayed closer to more than ten meters, obviously treating them as a meal.
Seeing Ling Tao with his bow and arrow in hand, Liang Ping raised his eyebrows and waved his people not to shoot, but the necessary vigilance was not relaxed.
At a distance of twenty or thirty meters, Ling Tao was already completely sure to shoot the python that was not small.
The whole action took only a few seconds, the bowstring vibrated and the arrows shot out like a meteor, tearing through the air with a piercing scream.
In just twenty or thirty meters away, in the blink of an eye, the Mitsubishi arrow snorted through the python's body, and after the arrow penetrated the python's body, it stabbed obliquely into the asphalt ground, nailing it to the ground!
Such a picture made a group of them, including Liang Ping, look at Ling Tao in surprise, such a strong bow, such a terrible arrow, if this is shot on a person, it ......!
With a successful blow, Ling Tao handed over the horn bow to Zhou Lin beside him, pulled out the broadsword, moved his body, and quickly rushed towards the python, without obstacles, Ling Tao's movements, in the eyes of Liang Ping, rushed over like a gust of wind, and Ling Tao's speed shocked them again.
Then, they saw that Ling Tao ran head-on towards the python, and although the other party was injured, he opened his mouth and quickly bit Ling Tao.
However, Ling Tao was not afraid, facing the python's head, the broadsword in his hand swung out like lightning, under the light of the setting sun, as if a dreamlike cold front flashed, only to hear a snort, the snake's head and body were separated, and Ling Tao was safe and sound!
"It's terrifying, sword hunting mutant beasts, such a person, once he gets close, one person can defeat ten or twenty people", among Liang Ping's subordinates, someone sighed.
Knife hunting mutant beasts, it can also be said to be hand-to-hand combat mutant beasts, this is not a myth, Liang Ping they have heard of it, but such people are all admired beings, at least none of them can do it, today's hunters hunt mutant beasts, either long-range fire attacks, or traps, or drugs to knock down, or to fight.
However, the 'legendary' sword hunter mutant beast saw one at this time, and it was so easy, how could this not surprise Liang Ping and the others?
Although this is a world dominated by firearms, but the hearts of people who worship the strong still exist, this time they saw Ling Tao's method of hunting mutant beasts, and their eyes were different when they looked at Ling Tao, as if the star chasers saw their idols!
