Chapter 2 Small Gathering Places
Stinging rats have their necks, heads, and even stomachs at their disposal, and the only thing to worry about is their hard, sharp teeth and spikes that can shoot out of their bodies.
However, if there are only three, Wu Ming is still quite easy to deal with.
The middle-aged man and the boy then looked at this tattered beggar-like 'refugee' in amazement, and killed the three mice with a machete three times and divided five by two, during which the spikes shot out by the prickly mice were either deftly dodged by the other party or blocked with the machete, and only when the bloody corpses of the three prickly mice lay on the ground and the man came back to return the knife, the father and son reacted.
"Wow, uncle, you're amazing, you're so cool!" The eleven-year-old boy's eyes showed adoration and excitement, and in his eyes, it was beyond his imagination to be able to kill so many stinging mice by himself.
The boy's father, that is, the middle-aged man, was also stunned, and then hurriedly thanked him, just now he thought that this time he was dead, but he didn't expect it to be a twist.
Wu Ming learned the names of the father and son from the other party, the middle-aged man was called Guo Yuqiang, his son was called Guo Hao, and Wu Ming also reported his name.
After thinking about it, Wu Ming felt that even if the large army that broke through from the security zone was attacked by monsters, it was impossible for everyone to die, there must have been many people scattered to break through, Li Xia and Liu Bin They were both awakened and had sufficient power for self-preservation, not to mention that there was a company of troops following Liu Bin.
There is a great possibility that they will break through, although this pair of father and son have not seen each other, but there is no guarantee that others have not, I heard that there is a small gathering place nearby, Wu Ming is planning to go with a pair of father and son, and then ask others.
At that moment, Wu Ming was preparing to follow the father and son back, and Wu Ming didn't believe that Li Xia and Liu Bin would be killed.
At this time, a boy named Xiao Hao pointed to the tingly haired mouse that was killed by Wu Ming and asked, "Uncle Wu, don't you want those mice?" ”
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and nodded, there was nothing worth using on the prickly mouse, and he naturally wouldn't collect this kind of corpse along the way. And looking at Xiao Hao and Guo Yuqiang's eager looks, he understood.
At this time, food and supplies are very scarce, although the meat of these prickly mice is not very tasty, but it is also an important source of nutrition, it is always stronger than those grass root bark, and the skin of the prickly mice is hard, find some skilled haode people, you can sew out clothes to cover the body and keep out the cold. In the previous life, Wu Ming also wore a rat skin coat for a period of time, and except for the bad smell, everything else was not bad.
"I don't need these tingly mice, you and your dad can take them back, but you two can't carry so much, I'll help you!" After Wu Ming finished speaking, he walked over and picked up two of them and carried them on his shoulders.
The new Shijie rule, whoever kills the prey will belong to whomever it is, so when he heard Wu Ming give them three prickly mice, Guo Hao screamed excitedly, and together with his father, he used a tree trunk to tie the remaining two limbs and hang them. However, when the two of them were excited to clean up the corpse of the prickly mouse, they didn't see a silver-gray thing flying quickly in the distance, and it only reached the top of Wu Ming's head in a moment.
That's Eminem, who is full of food and drink, seeing this guy, Wu Ming is also quite helpless, ordinary people have never seen it, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and in order not to make other awakened people suspicious, Wu Ming let Eminem get stuck himself.
Unlike other card creatures, Eminem can be self-carded and disarmed, but fortunately, Eminem is very obedient, and it likes to sleep when it is full of food and drink, and it is the most haode rest.
At that moment, Eminem flapped his wings and silently landed on the palm of Wu Ming's raised head and transformed into a card.
By the time Guo Yuqiang and his son tied up the mouse corpse and looked up, Wu Ming had already put away the stuck Eminem, and for ordinary people, Eminem's speed could make them unnoticed.
"Let's go, our gathering place is just a few kilometers away, and it only takes half an hour to walk!" Maybe it was the strength that Wu Ming showed before, or it was the generosity of giving them the prickly mice, Guo Yuqiang was smiling at the moment, and this man was in good health, although he had not reached the level of awakening, but he had absorbed at least six or seven units of vitality in his body, and his son Guo Hao was almost the same as him, so it was nothing for the two of them to lift up the two prickly mice.
Because the harvest of this hunt was unexpectedly fruitful, the father and son were quite happy.
Nearly five months have passed since the disaster began, and under the influence of vitality, even people with poor qualifications will absorb part of their vitality and strengthen their physique.
Following Guo Yuqiang and Guo Hao, a father and son, Wu Ming walked all the way through the wilderness, and sure enough, half an hour later, he saw a small gathering place surrounded by a dozen cars and wooden fences next to a river.
The river can provide a source of water, and it is still a slope with a wide view, Wu Ming looked at it and felt that the place was still good.
There was a person standing on a dirt slope more than 200 meters away from the gathering place, holding a handful of grabs in his hand, and he saw Guo Yuqiang and his son from a long distance, obviously the sentinels of this small gathering place.
When I walked in, the man walked straight over.
"Yu Qiang, Xiao Hao, you're back, how is it, this hunt went well, right?" This man was forty years old, not tall, his hair was a little bald, but he was extremely strong, and he was holding an old-fashioned shotgun, but don't underestimate this kind of shotgun, it is quite powerful at a certain distance.
Before Guo Yuqiang could speak, Xiao Guo Hao said excitedly: "Uncle, look, I killed this big rat, and I killed it with one shot!" ”
The short and stout man smiled, but patted Guo Hao's head and said, "Okay, good, our Xiao Hao is the best!" ”
After speaking, he first looked at the corpses of the four prickly mice, and then moved his gaze to Wu Ming's body.
"Yu Qiang, who is he?"
"By the way, let me introduce you to you, this is my daughter-in-law and her second brother Peng Feng, he is Wu Ming, who escaped from Yucheng and was separated from his family, so I brought him to our gathering place!" Guo Yuqiang said with a smile.
However, the second brother Peng Feng frowned slightly, pulled Guo Yuqiang aside and whispered: "I said Yu Qiang, now this world is different from before, we are not everyone can believe it, this person said that he escaped from Yucheng, but the monsters in Yucheng are all eating people and not spitting out bones, not to mention the terrifying insect people, that is, the stinging mice, they are tens of thousands, how can he cross more than a hundred kilometers to come here without even being injured?" It's blatant nonsense. I think it's better to send him away, our gathering place is full of people who know the roots, and there are old people and children, but there are only three guns, if he has evil intentions, it will be a disaster."
Guo Yuqiang smiled but said, "I don't think he looks like a bad person!" ”
As he spoke, he told the previous story, and said: "At that time, Xiao Hao and I only cared about cleaning up the corpse of the prickly mouse, and at that time, he could have killed people and grabbed guns behind us, but he didn't. And after that, he also killed three stinging mice with a knife, and his skills were excellent, and if he was more careful with his skills, it would not be impossible to travel more than a hundred kilometers to come here alone! ”
"And this? One man killed three rats, could he be that...... The Awakened, right? Peng Feng stammered.
"I don't know, I saw that he was not a bad person, and he was also good, so he brought it back, if you drive him away, you go and say, I won't go!"
"Gotta got, I can't listen to you, let's go, with these four big fat mice, we can have a good meal today, and the remaining meat and skin can be exchanged for some bullets back, hey, these days, bullets are more expensive than food!" The short and fat Peng Feng muttered, but walked over to say hello to Wu Ming stiffly, and then said that he would help carry a tingly haired mouse.
Wu Ming didn't refuse, and when he arrived at the small gathering place, the short and fat Peng Feng said hello to Guo Yuqiang, pinched Guo Hao's small face bag, and then ran back to the previous mound to guard.
Obviously, people who are on the alert can be the first to know if a monster appears around the gathering place.
And being in this small gathering place, Wu Ming knew how 'small' it was.
