Whether bloody or humanoid, their predecessors were humans. Viruses change this qiē, and they are infected as zombies, producing differentiation and assimilation in the process of constant mutation. Although they are not Atlanteans, they have become even more disgusting than Atlanteans.

The temperature on the snowfields of the Northland dropped to minus 20 degrees, and the werewolves were frozen in their entire bodies almost at the same time as they died. The piece of wolf meat was completely frozen into ice slag, and Su Hao took it in his mouth for a while before the meat slice gradually softened, releasing a strong bloody taste.

The frozen cells become active again. Of course, it's not that they're still alive, it's just that the fragments of memory that remain within them are still recognizable, and haven't completely dissipated like carrion.

These werewolves are wanderers.

Vimore was right, they were indeed outcasts of the race. These werewolves are not strong, they can only be regarded as the weakest of the group. Malnourished, emaciated, without hard-and-sharp fangs, and claws not hard enough, they can't even run long distances as fast as other ...... All of these are evaluations given by the elders of the clan.

Of course, there is also the most important point: their fertility and reproduction are very poor, the chance of conception of female werewolves is very small, and the mating success rate is pitifully low.

Dark creatures, especially those with the form of beasts, have a much simpler concept of fertility and reproduction than humans. Only the strongest individuals will be favored by females. But if the problem is with the female herself, things will be completely reversed. Werewolves don't like people like girls with thin waists, big buttocks and big breasts. Of course, they also like human beauties, but when it comes to fertility, they still choose strong and powerful females of the same race. Although the she-wolf is ugly, it is the best guarantee of a strong offspring. In particular, lactating wolf milk is as viscous as high-fat milk slurry, and although it tastes fishy, it is very nutritious, and even the most docile rabbits will grow sharp teeth that eat meat.

These werewolves are miserable, they have been wandering in the snow for a long time, and they have not eaten decent food since the beginning of winter. According to the original plan, the destination of the wolf crowd should be the wasteland more than 2,000 kilometers to the west. It's much warmer there than here, and the food source is plentiful. Unfortunately, the werewolf got lost in the snow and found the cabin by chance. At that time, they were already hungry and going crazy, and they didn't care about any human counterattack. In their opinion, as long as they kill these mercenaries, they will have a chance to live.

Su Hao considered the problem very comprehensively, and he was always worried about whether these werewolves would be deliberately arranged by a hostile force behind his back. Since coming to the third stage world, this kind of thing is not uncommon. He has unknowingly offended the Haisen family in the dark world, and the boss of the "Thunder" company is eager to devour his flesh and bones, and even within the Qiao family, maybe because of Herman's death, the target of anger and revenge will be transferred to himself.

After all, Kenson had said it yesterday when he came: this is an area where dark creatures are rarely seen. Otherwise, human explorers would not have built a log cabin here.

The memory search was carried out thoroughly, and Su Hao did not find any information that alerted him. The appearance of the werewolf is indeed a coincidence. Kenson and Ho Dong were seriously injured in this process, but the rewards were just as rich. Although these werewolves are thin, their fur is in good condition. According to the distribution of heads, each person gets three wolf skins.

They hadn't thought they would get so much, and one per person would be enough. Mercenaries are not crazy, they are sensible, they know how much they are capable of, and they never do things that are beyond their actual capabilities.

Su Hao's actions were actually normal in Vimore's opinion. Many mercenaries and hunters have a habit of preying on dark creatures. They are not inherently human, and being non-homogeneous means that they are edible. What's more, in a sense, this is not simply to fill the stomach, but more importantly, it is out of revenge and anger.

By an hour, the mercenaries had already packed their bags. Kenson's recovery was noticeably faster than expected. Reilly was not surprised by this, for the lower echelons of the empire, the healing potion meant god-like existence. There are many different versions of this kind of thing. The content is nothing more than a resurrection from the dead, or a hapless guy in a desperate situation, who gets a repair potion by chance, and then fights his way out of the siege and gets a new life.

In contrast, He Dong's actions were more difficult. Unable to stand still, Vimore had to work with Reilly to secure Ho Dong to the sleigh with ropes and keep him seated. The long trek on the snowfield was more tiring than expected, and He Dong had to endure long bumps. However, it is worth the pain compared to being eaten directly by a werewolf, or dying of excessive bleeding.

Everyone looked at Su Hao with respectful eyes, but Su Hao was very modest. He knew almost nothing about the snowfield, and what he really needed to rely on was the rest of Team 22.

Kenson was weak, but his life was constantly recovering. He kept holding Su Hao's hand, did not speak, and stared at the other party's black eyes for a long time.

No one thinks there's anything wrong with that.

No one knew that the repair potion that Kenson was taking was mixed with a little bit of Su Hao's blood.

The third stage world is even more sinister than the Red Dragon Planet. According to Su Hao's original plan, Liu Qiang should be the most suitable candidate to accept blood assimilation and become the world's first "worker bee". Herman, that madman, ruined a qiē, and Su Hao didn't have much time to make contact with the others. Last night was a great opportunity, and the thirst for survival of the seriously injured and dying was beyond a qiē. At that point, the word "doctor" was more convincing than any pretty word. What's more, Su Hao also took out an incomparably precious repair potion. It's not something you can buy with money. It was at that time that he had become the most trustworthy person in the minds of all the mercenaries of Squad 22.

……

When I returned to Konoha Town, it was already midnight.

The nights here are much livelier than the day. This is also the biggest feature of human settlements. As early as a few hundred years ago, the empire had solved the problem between food and population. The empire has a vast grain-producing area, and advanced science and technology have overcome natural disasters, and the supply of grain has always been stable. Of course, the price of transporting grain from within the empire to Konoha Town is definitely much higher than buying it directly at the place of origin. However, Konoha Town also has its own specialty goods. For example, animal skins and hedrons, or various specialties of the dark world, are worth far more than grain, and merchants are willing to constantly travel between the empire's inner regions and borders to earn a considerable fortune.

There is no shortage of alcohol in Konoha Town. The climate here is very cold, and spirits are the largest commodity after food and medicine. As with the other border towns of the Empire, Konoha Town's main entertainment is nothing more than women, alcohol, drugs, and life-and-death fights between men and men, or madmen and madmen. This qiē makes the place seem chaotic, but in reality, order is still an integral part of Konoha Town. At the very least, it's more disciplined than the evil districts of Red Rock City.

The heavy steel gates had been closed, and Reilly had spent twenty copper plates in exchange for temporary entry from the defenders. It's the same as a person who returns late at night in peacetime on Earth and asks for two dollars from the night watchman to open the door and go home. As long as you're not hostile and not a dark creature, the defenders are more than willing to have that extra income.

As the two heavy sleds passed through the city gates, they caused a burst of exclamations from the guards next to them.

"Reilly, you've had a good time going out this time!"

"Why are there so many werewolves? Have you raided a wolf's den? ”

"Let me see, one, two, three...... It's almost twenty heads, and although the fur is of average color, it's too many. The guys of the 22nd squad have made a fortune this time. ”

The voices of exclamation and jealousy sounded one after another, and the movement was so great that even many sentries standing on the guard tower on night duty couldn't help but run over to watch. To get a better look, a searchlight even shifted direction, enveloping the two sleds from a height.

Although Kenson and He Dong looked weak, they still barely raised their arms and greeted everyone with a smile.

Every squad goes out hunting and comes back to attract similar onlookers. People just want to see how much you're making? How many people died? It's also an alternative kind of entertainment, especially when something as lucrative as the present is enough to be the talk of the town's residents for months to come, if not for half a year.

A large man in a leather robe with a horrible scar on his face squeezed into the circle and shouted, "Kenson, you look badly injured. What, did those wolf cubs gnaw your bones off? ”

Kenson stretched his body, changed to a sitting position that could relieve the pain in his waist, and smiled weakly: "It's so-so, there are several broken bones, and this time it will probably take a while to recuperate before you can continue the mission." ”

Vimore and a few others could be heard talking nearby.

"Where did you meet the werewolves? I remember you didn't go out for long, it was only a day. ”

"We didn't go far when a group of werewolves attacked us at the valley hut. Well, they're all here now. ”

The listener's voice suddenly became incredulous: "My God, did you meet them at night?" You still won? ”

Vimore patted He Dong, who was seriously injured on the sleigh next to him: "Half of He Dong's shoulder is gone, and Kenson almost didn't survive last night." ”

The big man with the scar reacted quickly, and immediately grasped the core of the problem, and shouted with wide eyes: "What, you met the Imperial Army in the field?" Did they help you? ”

"Imperial Army?"

Reilly shook his head disdainfully, grabbed the leather leash that controlled the restless sled dogs, patted Su Hao who was sitting next to him with his left hand, and said with great pride: "We have doctors, the best doctors in the world!" ”

This sentence immediately caused a series of questions in the crowd of onlookers.

"Reilly, you braggart guy, are you sure your doctor isn't the kind of guy who likes to touch a cow's ass?"

"It's enough to have a vet in Konoha Town, I don't want to be treated by that guy anymore. He treated me like a wild dog. Know what his mantra is? Drinking more alcohol can sterilize and disinfect, and eating more meat can provide nutrition. Hahahaha! He never prescribes you any vitamin pills, but just stuffs you with a handful of wild vegetables. ”

"Come on! Don't use quips to dismiss us, tell me how you got out of danger, and to hell with the damn doctor! Lao Tzu would rather believe that the Empress of the Empire has nine tits and three asses, and that the hat on the emperor's head is greener than fresh greens, and that there will be so-called doctors here! ”

These words have a lot of venting in them. Patients need treatment, but it is also known that serious doctors are impossible to find in a place like Konoha Town. That drunken veterinarian in town has made a lot of people suffer, but people can't do anything about him. After all, in the face of death, even if you are a butcher, you have to choose to be treated.

"Enough! Stop talking like that! ”

Kenson, whose face was pale, sat up straight suddenly, and his eyes released a cold killing intent: "If you don't know the truth of the matter, don't ****** chirp." Reilly Reputation Oh lie, we were lucky to get a doctor. I'm still alive, and that's the best proof of that. ”

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became quiet, and many of the guys who had already reached their lips with sarcastic words were forced to shut up by Kenson's fierce and angry eyes. Reilly and Vimore glanced at each other, waved their whips in their hands, shouted at the dogs, and slowly pulled the sled towards the station of the twenty-second team.

The wind rolled up a lot of snowflakes, and people's vision gradually became blurred.

"Ma, Kenson, even if he's injured, he's still so tough."

The scar-faced man spat on the ground very unhappily, and gathered the leather robe on his body, his expression suddenly became a little strange. He looked at the vanished sleigh in the distance, then turned to look at the crowd around him, his tone and voice full of doubts: "Do you think what Kenson and Reilly said is true?" Did Squad Twenty-Two really get a doctor? ”

"It's hard to say!"

A tall, thin man with an assault rifle on his chest shook his head: "All I know is that they have added a new recruit. But if that guy was a doctor, Young Master Tianyu would definitely give him a higher position, instead of treating him as a mercenary like now. ”

This statement immediately drew naysayers: "Maybe it's true?" Everyone in the twenty-two squad is alive, and they have killed so many werewolves, according to the normal battle damage ratio, at least one of them must be killed. It's different when a doctor is around. I've known Kenson for almost a decade and he's never lied. ”

"I don't believe it's true anyway."

"There's always something to be done."

The chaotic controversy was doomed to nothing. No one can convince the other, and no more evidence can be presented. The crowd gathered in front of the city gate gradually dispersed, and darkness and cold once again enveloped the world.

……

Tired people usually slept to death, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that Su Hao and the others began to get up, and the small building was rejuvenated.

There's a lot to do.

Vimore and Su Hao unloaded the werewolf corpse from the sleigh and dragged it to a warm area close to the house, where it slowly thawed and then peeled off the fur.

The work is time-consuming and requires a lot of firewood. By the time they had done this, Reilly had already bought back a couple of first-aid kits from outside, as well as various medicines. He laid these things out, took out a pre-frozen corbel from the cellar, chopped it into pieces and threw it into the pot to make soup, while Su Hao washed the dirty blood on his body and returned to the house to change the dressing for Kenson and He Dong.

The life of a mercenary is like this, rough and orderly,

The news in Konoha Town spread quickly, and there were many more onlookers next to the sleigh again. The door of the small building was open, and people were surprised that while Vimore and Reilly handled the number of wolf corpses, they also saw Su Hao's movements inside, and saw the terrifying scars on the surface of Kenson and He Dong's bodies after they dismantled the bandages.

It's only now that people really know for sure that Reilly and Kenson weren't lying.

Earth, the city of Nanjing.

The old city is being renovated much faster than expected. Biological warfare has decimated the total number of human beings, and even in the world's most populous country, the once crowded China is still sparsely populated. There are no more dense vehicles on the road, and the crowd of people is no longer there. The once precious Temple of Confucius was deserted, except for old books with yellowed pages lying quietly in the corner, with faded pictures of beautiful models, expensive luxury cars, and a variety of delicious snacks......

Not all abandoned cities have been forgotten, and the redevelopment of Nanjing is the most notable example of this. As the successor after Wang Qinian's departure, Gao Liquan did not continue to bury the machine factory underground, as before, but built heavy workshops on a large scale in various base cities to accommodate up to millions of machine workers.

They are not the Transformers of the movies of the old days, but the core engineering force that is completely controlled by the central light brain and comprehensively renovates the abandoned city.

Dozens of giant crushers have been driven into the city of Nanjing. These massive steel behemoths are hundreds of meters high, and their hard, multi-purpose mills are enough to crush anything. Puffs of smoke and dust from the blasting rose over the city, and the deafening sound was comparable to the world's most terrible noise. The building with dozens of floors collapsed, and before the dust settled, hundreds of different types of machines immediately surrounded it. They wield huge metal cutters to cut through the concrete of the hard steel rods. In just a few hours, what would have taken years to build has been broken up into thousands of pieces.

Heavy crawlers carrying the giant shredder slowly approached the side of the collapsed building, and all kinds of construction waste were thrown into the circular crushing funnel. It resembles a strangely shaped worm, eating in front and pulling in the back, constantly excreting all kinds of crushed waste. Of course, these shredded materials will be recycled and reused as new building materials according to different shredding specifications.

According to the results of the light brain calculation, it usually only takes two months to clean up a very large city. In the abandoned city of Nanjing, for example, it took only 51 days.

Clean-up isn't just for buildings on the ground. More importantly, underground pipes and other ancillary equipment. In dealing with these things, the machine people strictly followed the procedure, they used huge buckets into the ground, along with the hard road, and all kinds of water, electricity and gas pipes were dragged out, regardless of type, along with soil and all kinds of garbage, all thrown into the shredder. When they do this, the large excavators go deep into the ground, laying the line pipes along the planned routes, and resetting the new urban underground network deeper underground.

With the exception of steel, almost all building materials are sourced locally. The new city of Nanjing was completed in just a few months, and the price paid was only the necessary energy to keep the machine running, and some of the parts that wore out during the work.

Only "worker bees" are eligible to become residents of the new city. They brought the city to life and rebuilt civilization quickly.
