Chapter 191: Crossing Over, Right?
Standing on the side of the road, Ling Tao turned to look back, but he could barely distinguish the road when he and the others came, if it weren't for the dense grass with traces of them walking, the group would have appeared out of thin air.
"Which way to go"? Ling Tao asked, he hadn't been here, he could only ask the villagers.
Although people in Zhoujia Village rarely go out of the mountains, they are not really isolated from the world, and the necessary materials still have to be purchased for ten days and a half months.
Zhou Lin pointed to the left and said: "This direction is to Xihe City, and then it is S City, and on the other side, more than two hundred miles away is the provincial capital, but I haven't been there, I heard that I have to pass through an urban area and three county towns on the way."
"Then let's go to the left, go to Xihe City first, I'm afraid there are still one or twenty kilometers of road, and we should be able to feel Xihe City before the sun sets in more than an hour", Ling Tao looked to the left and said.
Coming to the highway, although the vegetation on both sides is extremely dense, and even the sidewalks on the side are almost submerged, but this is a big road after all, it is much easier to walk, although the danger is still there, but the speed of walking on the road is not comparable to their mountain roads.
With the direction, the next thing is much easier, as long as you follow the main road, it is better than going over the mountains and mountains without a head.
They came out of the mountain, although they looked a little wolf, but they were dressed quite neatly, all leather armor, spears, bows and arrows, but in addition to the things on their bodies when they left Zhoujia Village, they had some more things on them.
A black python more than ten meters long was held on the shoulders by Zhou Daqian's brothers, and Zhou Dazhu's two brothers each carried a pheasant with a height of a meter, compared with the mutant chickens killed by Ling Tao in Zhoujia Village a few days ago, these two pheasants can only be regarded as chicks.
Then, the three of them were carrying a wolf skin on their backs, and these wolf skins were not the wolf skins on the wolves they encountered at the beginning, but the three injured wolves that they encountered after leaving there and walking for more than ten minutes, and they were killed by them, and they couldn't take away the corpse of a gray wolf, so they could only take the skin away.
It may be laughable to say that the three wolves were already dying when they encountered them, and they were three of the wolves they had encountered before, who seemed to have been abandoned by the wolves after being injured.
It was precisely because of these three wolves that they realized that they were probably heading in the same direction as the wolves left, so they had to make a big circle.
With these things, Ling Tao believed that when they entered the city, they could also talk about pretending to be hunters, he didn't know how other hunters got their prey back, but they definitely wouldn't use a car to tow it, after all, cars in the wilderness couldn't drive, and it seemed that they didn't have a bit of status at this stage, and they might not be able to get gasoline, but this was not a problem they should consider.
They walked all the way to Xihe City, and what they saw on the road made them realize that even on the main road was not very peaceful, there were blood stains in many places, and even saw human corpses abandoned on the side of the road, of course, the kind with their heads destroyed, which meant that even on the road it was not safe, and they would be attacked by mutant beasts at any time, so they had to be vigilant again.
"Mr. Ling, there seems to be someone behind", after advancing on the highway for more than ten minutes, the younger Zhou Xiaoqian suddenly spoke.
Hearing his reminder, Ling Tao turned to look behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone pay attention to be vigilant, there are quite a few people on the other side, I don't know if there will be any evil intentions."
Dare to walk in the wilderness, Ling Tao guessed that the person behind him was probably also a hunter, from the mouth of the captain of the hunter who was killed by himself, he knew that when he was in the wilderness, hunters often turned into robbers for the prey in the hands of others.
Soon the people behind them appeared in their sight, there were quite a few of them, at least twenty of them, they looked more wolf than them, but the other party's harvest seemed to be greater than theirs, and there were three wooden carts full of prey.
The wooden cart was two meters wide, and the wheels of the car were dismantled from the car, and they were pulled or pushed in this direction by several people.
Among their prey, Ling Tao saw at a glance a huge wild boar occupying a wooden plank bed, the size of which the people who were pushing the cart were so tired that they were shirking.
The other party obviously also spotted Ling Tao and them, five or six people walked to the front of the team, and the person transporting the prey slowed down and walked over slowly.
These people, the clothes are no different from the group of hunters that Ling Tao met in Zhoujia Village, they are all uneven, and the weapons are almost the same, but the other party can have such a big gain, Ling Tao guessed that the other party must have a gun in his hand, so the vigilance in his heart has increased again.
The other party came to a stop ten meters away from them, and all of them came to the front and looked at Ling Tao and them vigilantly, obviously both sides were careful of each other.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and one of them stepped forward and looked at Ling Tao and asked, "You are also hunters"?
Ling Tao stood up and looked at the other party for a moment, and the person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old, his figure was not burly, and his skin was also very white, but when he spoke, no one else spoke, obviously he was the leader.
Nodding, Ling Tao said, "We are also hunters, it's getting dark, it's not safe at night, and we're going to go to the city."
The other party glanced at Ling Tao and them, nodded and said, "It's not easy, let's talk about life with death, let me introduce myself, we are the hunter team of Xihe City, I named the team the Crazy Bull Squad myself, and I am the captain of this team, named Liang Ping."
"Hello Captain Liang, my name is Ling Tao, and I am the captain of this team, but I don't have an official name," Ling Tao nodded and said.
Although it was only a short sentence, Ling Tao felt that the other party did not seem to be bad, of course, this was just his personal thoughts, after all, when they met for the first time, they knew people and faces, but they did not let go of their vigilance.
"Hehe, it's nice to meet you, your gains are not small, you should be able to change a lot of things", Liang Ping nodded and said nonchalantly.
"You must be incomparable with Captain Liang, and you will also go back to Xihe City"? Ling Tao nodded and said, as he spoke, Ling Tao keenly noticed that when they first met, they were wary of themselves and others, but after seeing the number of people on their side, they relaxed a little, and after a few words, they did not show hostility, and they even relaxed their hands that were faintly placed on the weapon a little.
"Hehe, after all, there are a little more of us, since everyone is back to Xihe City, this road is not smooth, why don't you go together? There is also a response in this way", Liang Ping asked tentatively.
Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to propose such a proposal at all, after all, the two sides had just met for the first time, but from the other party's few words, Ling Tao could see that this person's nature was not bad, at least in his place, the trust between people still existed, as for what the other party thought in his heart, Ling Tao did not have the ability to read minds, so it was unknown.
"It's also our honor to be able to exchange hunting experiences with you," Ling Tao said with a smile.
In this way, the two squads, under the friendly conversation between the leaders of the two sides, the two squads went on the road together and headed in the direction of Xihe City, however, the two sides were not too close to each other, except for Ling Tao and Liang Ping walking together and communicating from time to time, the others hardly spoke much.
The two sides became a little familiar, Liang Ping looked at Ling Tao and said: "To be honest, Brother Ling Tao, I really admire you, you are not yet an adult at a young age, you have actually become the captain of a hunter team, you are really a heroic boy, you must have something to do in the future, don't be in a hurry to deny it, since you can be the captain, you must have something extraordinary, if my guess is right, I am afraid that the broadsword in your hand is dozens of catties, right?" Seeing you easily hold it in your hand, I was secretly surprised, and the horn bow on your back, ordinary people are afraid that they can't pull it open, which really makes people have to admire."
"Brother Liang, you have won the award, what am I, the size of your squad really makes me envious, it is fully equipped, and there are even several guns, but it is not something we can compare", Ling Tao shook his head and said.
Ling Tao is not a person who has never seen anything, but after getting familiar with the other party, he really feels that the other party is not a bad person, I have to say that people are so magical, some people don't deal with each other as soon as they meet, and some people can get along just after they meet, no, Ling Tao and Liang Ping didn't know each other for long, and the two sides began to call each other brothers, whether it was false or not, but at least the two sides could get along amicably as soon as they met, which was commendable.
"Hahaha, Brother Ling, do you guess what I thought when I first saw you just now?" Liang Ping suddenly laughed.
Ling Tao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you say?"
"I tell you, Brother Ling, you are really interesting, leather armor, spears, knives, bows and arrows, and everyone is about the same, while I am surprised that you are fully equipped, my first thought is that you guys will not be ancient soldiers who have traveled through time, hahaha, it is too similar", Liang Ping laughed.
Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Dazhu and them, isn't it, all the leather armor is as long as spears and bows and arrows, and it is like the outfit of an ancient soldier squad.
Secretly embarrassed, Ling Tao smiled bitterly: "No way, for safety, I can only try to dress up myself."
Liang Ping nodded meaningfully and said, "That's true, by the way, you're not from Xihe City, right, it's the first time you're here?"
Hearing Liang Ping's words, Ling Tao's eyes flickered, and he asked vigilantly: "How can you see it?"
"Hey, I said Brother Ling, you are really, why are you so old, why are you so young, this is an unknown thing, you are dressed up like this, I am more familiar with Xihe City, I have never seen you at all, your special dress is unreasonable and no one knows, right? What's so hard to guess that you're not from Westriver City at all, and besides, this is the first time you've been to Westriver City, right?" Liang Ping shook his head and looked at Ling Tao and smiled.
