Chapter 82: Water Ghosts

Although there is only a trace of fish belly white on the horizon, we still see a group of unknown creatures appear on the surface of the lake, many of them seem to be preparing to attack the dam body, such as a thunderous cry even to us can be heard clearly, at this time the dam crest has been organized in an orderly manner, it seems that it is not the first time they have faced such a thing, only a few obviously newcomers seem to be a little flustered, they are running around at the top of the dam, which has caused a lot of impact on the original orderly defense, At this time, a man with a 7.62 caliber rifle stood on a high place and fired several shots into the sky before the men were stopped.

The man stood on a high place, and there were six people with rifles like him standing beside him, obviously these people had a very high status, one belonged to the leading class, I quickly asked Rocky to point the monitor at him, only to hear the hoarse voice of the person shouting from the monitor: "Don't mess up, go back to the designated position for you, if anyone runs around again, Lao Tzu will kill him to feed the water ghost!" ”

His warning had an obvious effect, and the people who were running around on the top of the dam just now stood in fear in place, but they seemed to be a little unwilling, and they surrounded the people with guns and asked Weishenme about this kind of thing, it seemed that they didn't know that such a thing would happen before, and no one on the dam had told them that there would be such a terrible monster here, although those people were very emotional, but it was obviously not the first time that those people with guns had dealt with such a thing.

The leader looked at the panicked people with contempt and spat out, "What the fuck do you think you really have a free lunch?" Tell you that the reason why you are recruited is because of these water ghosts, if you want to stay here, you have to fight with the water ghosts, otherwise don't want to stay here to eat and drink for nothing, your family will also be driven out, do it or not, now I only say one word, if you want to stay, you will immediately return to the designated position, otherwise Lao Tzu will personally send you on the road! ”

Listening to his words, those people really have nothing to say, even if they want to resist, they have to look at the guys in their hands, and there are some people with weapons behind them who are watching them, if there is any change, I am afraid it is not as simple as leaving, not to mention that the current world is no different from going out and committing suicide, so although these people are reluctant, they still return to the designated position according to the order and start waiting to fight with those water ghosts.

Due to the limitations of our position, we could only see the scene on the dam and couldn't see the situation in the lake very clearly, so I aligned with the spaceway: "Turn the drone over and see what that water ghost is?" ”

Qi Yuhang manipulated the handle and said, "Okay." ”

After a while, the scene in the lake appeared on the display screen, originally I was worried about how to hold such a long dam with more than 200 people, and I saw the image sent back by the drone to know that those things called water ghosts, just concentrated attacks in the middle of the dam, they are half floating on the water surface to reveal a black back and green deep eyes on the top of the head, it really gives people a ghostly feeling, especially hundreds of them are gathered together to make people shudder, it is very appropriate to be called a water ghost.

Rocky looked at it for a moment and said, "I bet this is another familiar thing to us, guess what?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a water ghost jump out of the water, a four-legged monster more than two meters long climbed to the dam and jumped several times in a row to see the edge of the dam crest, just when the thing was about to jump on the top of the dam, a man holding an iron fork welded with steel bars stood on the edge and threw hard, the iron fork pierced the back of the water ghost and shot the water ghost down, the man pulled the iron fork back and was pulled back by a rope, it seems that they have a lot of combat experience, Obviously, it's not been a day or two to fight these water ghosts.

"What does it look like?" Rocky asked with a smile.

"What is it like! Isn't this a frog, except that it is much bigger, it hasn't even changed its appearance. I shook my head helplessly and said, I ran into a swarm of insects last time, and now I have encountered a swarm of frogs, I really don't know what hasn't changed, it seems that it is really difficult to survive.

Just as we were talking, the battle began to be fierce, the giant frogs in the water jumped to the top of the dam one after another, and the people on the dam also threw their weapons hard and fought hard to knock them down, but those simple iron forks were not very lethal to the giant frogs, although they were injured a lot but they really killed almost nothing, and as time went on, the giant frog's attack began to become fierce, and the defenders on the dam began to be a little powerless because of the lack of lethality of the weapons.

Sure enough, an hour after the start of the battle, a giant frog broke through the defense line and jumped to the top of the dam, only to see its big mouth and a long tongue like a whip pop out to roll up a person who wanted to escape, pull back to the huge mouth like lightning, and then turn around and jump back to the lake under the dam, this time the people on the dam panicked, especially those new joiners are running backwards with a shout, and there are several gaps in the defense line at once, and several giant frogs take the opportunity to jump on the top of the dam and roll away two people, The rest of the giant frogs, who had not been caught in the man, spewed out a stream of water from their parotid glands, and all those who were sprayed fell to the ground, tearing their clothes in pain, but in a short time their bodies were corroded and died in agony.

At this time, the man with the gun beckoned his companions to gather and fire at the giant frogs, they have not participated in the battle on the front line but stayed behind like the warlords, and when the defense line was about to collapse, they played a key role, the giant frogs were hit by bullets and quickly reflexively jumped back into the lake, but the defense line at the top of the dam was obviously unable to hold on, everyone looked at that person, and he also sent a person back to the dam as if he had made up his mind.

He raised his gun and shouted, "Everyone hold on a little longer, and the holy woman will come out immediately." Hearing his words, the people on the dam cheered, and their morale was greatly restored, although the newcomers and the three of us didn't know which saint was what kind of person, but judging from the performance of those old people, she should be the one who could decide the outcome of the battle.

The people on the dam once again threw themselves into the battle with high enthusiasm, this time they temporarily suppressed the attack of the giant frog, but if there was no saint, their defeat should be doomed, sure enough, it didn't take long for the dam to lose two more people, and the hearts of the people began to float again, but fortunately, there was no such collapse as just now, just when the people were about to hold on, the door to the dam was opened.

More than a dozen women surrounded a girl in white from the dam body, two of the women helped the girl to the iron frame in the center of the dam, and the two people who helped her up quickly ran back after she stood firm, and the man with the gun also beckoned the people defending the dam crest to retreat, so that the defense line on the dam was immediately vacated, and the giant frogs jumped on the top of the dam, but before they could stand firm, the girl's body trembled, her long hair flew, and a blue electric light suddenly spread out through the iron frame, At the edge of the dam, dazzling electric arcs flashed on the steel bars connected to the iron frame, and the giant frogs that jumped on the top of the dam were instantly splashed by sparks of electricity, either dying on the spot or falling down, and the battle that was originally a human race must lose was saved by the girl.

And the girl obviously paid a heavy price for this, the clothes on her body instantly turned to ashes, and the person also fell on the tower, the two women who helped her up hurriedly took out a new dress and ran up to wrap her, and carried her down the dam, which broke out on the dam with a burst of cheers, and even someone shouted hoarsely: "Long live the saint, long live the saint." ”

The man with the gun also took the opportunity to shout: "See, as long as there is a saint in our safety, as long as you are obedient, it is no problem for you to stay here and live, now open a floodgate and release the corpses of those water ghosts." "Victory tends to have a paralyzing effect, and the people on the dam seem to forget what they have paid for this victory, and they are all happily busy, as if they are really safe, and the threat of death is temporarily forgotten.

Seeing that the battle was over, the three of us shrank under the hill, Rocky smiled and said, "How about it, do you still want this place?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, the environment is good and there is not much threat, after we go back, we will discuss how we can take over the entire power station, it is better to fall into our hands than in the hands of those fools." ”

Qi Yuhang leaned over and looked at me and Luo Qi and said, "How can I hear that you are like bandits, as if people are crying and shouting to give you the territory." ”

I smiled and said: "Bandits are bandits, they are not good birds, recruiting people here is obviously to be cannon fodder, rather than letting them toss around, let's run this place well, and then it will really be a veritable human settlement." ”

Rocky looked back at the dam and asked, "Do you want to go back now or wait?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked Qi Yuhang, "Did you see Guo Jiaming's people just now?" ”

Qi Yuhang shook his head and said, "I've also paid attention, but those who haven't seen him should have not arrived yet, or they have an accident on the way." ”

I shook my head and said: "It's not going to happen, I think it may not have arrived, so let's wait here for a day, first, let's take a good look, and second, let's see if we can wait for Guo Jiaming and them, if they can get here, things will be much easier." ”

Rocky and Qi Yuhang nodded indifferently, so we stayed here for another day, and the dam returned to its former calm, except for a few bereaved families who paid their respects to those who died in the battle, nothing special happened on the dam, and the girl called the Holy Maiden did not appear, and the only noteworthy figure was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, who seemed to be the leader of the dam, because the man with the gun was standing behind him after he appeared.

The middle-aged man appeared at the dam and simply set up the defense work and comforted the family of the deceased before leaving in a hurry, and the man with the gun took care of the rest of the work, until in the afternoon we were sure that the situation here was more or less clear, so we decided to leave immediately, so that we could reach the second supply point before dark, where we could rest for the night and go home tomorrow.

Just when we were about to leave, Guo Jiaming, who I had been waiting for, miraculously appeared, they did not take the car I gave them, but walked towards the dam on foot, I clicked the number and found that they were less than a third of the people, and the rest of the people also looked tired, fortunately, Guo Jiaming, Gangzi and the girl named Xiaoli were all there, Li Chao's little man was also alive and kicking, they were very excited when they saw the dam, and they ran towards the dam regardless of their tired bodies.

However, they were greeted not by flowers and applause, but by a row of cold muzzles, although there were only six or seven rifles, Guo Jiaming and they were obviously difficult to accept this welcoming attitude, Gangzi and a few people with guns also raised their guns, and the two sides immediately became a confrontation situation, the three of us hurriedly climbed back to the same place, and now the drone was too late to let it out, so we could only hastily point the listener at them.

Because of the delay for a while, they didn't hear the conversation in advance, and when the monitor was adjusted, Guo Jiaming's voice came from inside: "Isn't it too much for you to do this, we only came here when we heard the radio, and we have to hand over everything as soon as we get here, so we might as well go back." ”

The man with the gun who was talking to Guo Jiaming listened to Guo Jiaming's words and sneered twice: "It's your business whether you can go back or not, but our rules here are like this, when you get here, you have to hand over all the things and distribute them to us, if you don't want to stay, then please leave immediately, we don't accept disobedient people here." His demeanor when he spoke had already revealed the meaning of eating Guo Jiaming's group.

Just when Guo Jiaming hesitated, Li Chao jumped out and said: "We walked more than 2,000 kilometers to get here, and it is impossible to go back, so it is better to go to the countryside and hand over the things first. ”

His words obviously resonated with most people, and everyone turned their eyes to Guo Jiaming, their expressions were full of waiting for Guo Jiaming to nod, Guo Jiaming looked around and could only nod helplessly, an expression called loneliness covered his face full of vicissitudes.
