Chapter 48: Prey and Hunter
Xia Jian doesn't remember, once upon a time, someone said this!
When you look at the vast and boundless sea, your mood will also be sublimated and become open......
Truly!!
Xia Jian remembers that when he first saw the sea, he did feel this way.
However......
With the passage of time, when you face this monotonous and unchanging boundless sea day after day, no matter how good your mood is, it will become boring and boring!
……
Over time......
Night is coming!
"Zilala......"
In a series of lightning and thunder, a wildly dancing electric snake streaked across the sky.
The dazzling electric light instantly made the world bright......
...... on the sea
The weather was pretty good before, but now it was already stormy and the waves were raging.
The four sea giants, like rootless duckweed, are constantly rising and falling in the storm, and it seems that they will be completely engulfed by the raging sea at any time.
The moodiness of the sea, on this night, is vividly reflected......
……
But there are pros and cons to everything!
Equally......
When disaster strikes, it is often accompanied by opportunity!
There are no absolutes!
This sentence, Xia Jian can now be said to have a profound experience! Incomparably profound!
It's like this storm......
Although it brought a huge disaster to the whole team!
But at the same time, it also disperses the marine life that has been cruising in the nearby waters, and not only that. To a certain extent, it can also help Xia Jian and wash the dirt left on the hull!
Washing dirt?
A smile crossed the corner of Xia Jian's mouth......
Look underneath the skull.
Follow his line of sight. Below is a huge deck, and on the deck, a busy crowd is in full swing.
In the distance, there were three black figures of various sizes.
Take a closer look at the outlines of these three dark shadows......
Completely hidden in the darkness, the smallest and sinister destroyer, exuding a murderous aura, was the destroyer Mastin.
The whole body is brightly lit. On the endless sea, as dazzling as the stars, is the Dingyuan luxury cruise ship.
And like a giant beast. Creeping in the dark, occasionally emitting a few glimmers of light, is the Weiyuan supertanker.
These are the three ships that now belong to Xia Jian's fleet.
But since they're all in the distance......
So what is under Xia Jian's feet at this time?
Extended field of vision......
At this time, the ship under Xia Jian's feet turned out to be another of the two aircraft carriers. USS George Washington!
As for Xia Jian, at this time. Why is it on the USS George Washington?
It all started in the afternoon......
……
When the super giant mutant sea snake with the strength of the two heads reaching the king level challenged the approaching Dingyuan!
With Dingyuan as the center, a faint circular ripple appeared.
At the beginning, Xia Jian was still a little confused......
I don't know what this thing is!
But when I feel dizzy in my mind.
Xia Jian's heart was shocked......
It's a mental shock!
And it's the kind of spiritual impact that is so powerful that it's about to materialize.
Really......
Everywhere this circle of spiritual impact went, all sea creatures, regardless of their strength or weakness. All of them became like lost dogs.
Escaped in an instant.
Xia Jian instantly understood a fact......
On the Dingyuan, among the nearly two thousand survivors. Definitely hiding a master.
A master who is so strong that he can't find it, and a sea creature who is so strong that he can make these sea creatures reach the king level of strength must be avoided!
It was at this moment ......
The weirdness of all the previous hard thinking and unanswered has all been answered.
But knowing these answers, Xia Jian did not feel much easier because of this, but became more vigilant.
Who is this master?
Why do you want to hide your identity all the time?
Is it friend or foe? What is the purpose of hiding in your own ranks?
……
Of course......
Xia Jian is quite self-aware!
Since this master is so powerful that he can make these sea creatures retreat, with his current strength, he is definitely not an opponent!
Since he won't show his face!
Xia Jian naturally wouldn't force it! lest he be angered by the time.
But Xia Jian also quite dislikes the current feeling that life and death are controlled by others.
So......
On the surface, Xia Jian didn't seem to care, as if this incident had never happened at all, but in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart that as soon as this matter was over, he would immediately return to the mainland.
In any case, it is better to be down-to-earth and feel at ease.
But before that......
This aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which was delivered to him, can't be wasted!
You must know that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat!
When it comes to the meat in the mouth, how can there be any reason to spit it out again.
What's more, this is not mosquito meat, it is the ultimate weapon at sea with 10,000 tons, armed to the teeth.
Even if you return to land later......
If the aircraft carrier can't go ashore, it won't be needed, and the weapons and planes on the aircraft carrier can also be dismantled and taken away.
It's really not good, these tens of thousands of tons of steel giants can also be recycled as scrap iron!
Oh!
That's right! Listening to Xie Cong's meaning, this aircraft carrier George Washington seems to be an aircraft carrier powered by nuclear power.
Nuclear-powered! That's a good thing!
When the time comes, I will return to the land and build another base, and I will not have to worry about running out of electricity.
……
It is conceivable that if he really wants to do it, Xia Jian still needs to solve a problem.
It's an aircraft carrier!
It's not just that if you start the engine, you can drive a speedboat running around by yourself!
According to information provided by Yasha. The standard crew of this USS George Washington aircraft carrier is three thousand two hundred people!
It's just the crew!
If you include the Flying Wing, this number will have to continue to rise by two thousand.
Thankfully......
Xia Jian didn't need to drive this aircraft carrier to fight. As long as it can be started!
What's even more fortunate is that there are more than 90 American GIs under his hands!
If nothing else, it is not a problem to get this aircraft carrier to move......
And even if you can't move!
Xia Jian is also ready, it's a big deal to let Weiyuan and Dingyuan prepare to pull this aircraft carrier away.
That's where we are now......
……
"Boss ......"
Just when Xia Jian was immersed in the joy that he was about to own an aircraft carrier, and was annoyed by the little devil's Izumo quasi-aircraft carrier. Liu Lixing rushed over, with a smile on her face.
It seems that Liu Li is in a very good mood!
Even the wind and waves outside didn't affect her mood.
"Hmm!"
Xia Jian nodded. Seeing the smile on Liu Li's face, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"How? Is it statistical? ”
It turned out that after boarding the USS George Washington, Xia Jian asked everyone to take the entire aircraft carrier. Inside and out, thoroughly cleaned, outside. also asked Liu Li, Yasha and others to hurry up and count the remaining materials in the entire aircraft carrier!
Judging from Liu Li's performance at this time......
Obviously, this time it was a great one!
"The statistics are out......"
Liu Li smiled and handed the list in her hand to Xia Jian.
Xia Jian's list of results couldn't wait to read it......
Just at the first glance, Xia Jian's eyes lit up......
"Five nuclear bombs?"
On this aircraft carrier, there are actually five nuclear bombs!
When he saw this, Xia Jian suddenly became very kind. The impulse to throw all five nuclear bombs at the southeastern military base.
Grandma a bear!
You're not the only ones who have nuclear bombs! I've got it too!
"Helicopter Ten ......"
"Eighteen attack aircraft ......"
"Missile ......"
Read all the lists in one sitting. Xia Jian took a deep breath!
With these things, he can be regarded as a calf in the last days.
You can also wrestle with the power of those governments.
Of course......
Before that, Xia Jian had to train some pilots of his own first.
After digesting this information, Xia Jian calmed down a little and asked the question he was most concerned about: "How is the power system now?" Can we get rid of this big thing? ”
It seems that Xia Jian had expected this question for a long time.
Liu Li smiled and said, "There is no fault in the power system, and the problem of starting is not big, but the manpower may be a little ......insufficient."
"Manpower......
Hearing this, Xia Jian couldn't help but have a headache!
This thing can't be solved in a short time, you can only take it slowly!
…………………………
Above the sea......
Xia Jian is struggling to train the crew and want to return to land as soon as possible.
And the other side......
During the period when Xia Jian left the land and drifted on the sea, the wind and clouds were surging on the mainland, which was another scene.
Over time......
Now that we have entered the last days, it has been almost half a year.
In this small half year, after the elimination of the sinister environment, the survivors who can successfully survive now have more or less the ability to survive in the last days.
Survivors' settlements, large and small, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, constantly building up on the ruined land.
And the military bases that have been shrinking and passively defending before have gradually begun to try to clean up the dark chasers around the bases! Want to try to regain lost ground......
Besides......
There are also many strong people with strong strength, and they are constantly emerging.
Their stories, passed down by word of mouth, spread quickly among the survivors as if they had grown wings.
While making everyone envious and jealous, it also gives everyone hope and the direction of struggle!
Merely......
The living environment of the survivors has not improved because of this!
Bloodline!
Demons!
Mutant creatures!
Gradually known to the world!
General-level creatures. King-level creatures have gradually appeared in the world's field of vision, and they appear every time. It is often accompanied by death and disaster!
There are more serious ......
That's food!
Half a year......
Most of the places where you can find food have been turned over by the survivors! And the rest of the food that has not been found, after such a long time, most of it has almost spoiled and is inedible.
Because it can't be produced......
Today's survivors are facing a growing famine!
As a last resort, more and more survivors. Only those creatures that can be eaten can be targeted.
Like humanity itself!
For example, various mutated organisms that have not been infected by the virus......
But I don't know......
In this way, while the food problem was temporarily solved, it brought about an even greater disaster!
…………
Jianghai Province. Dinghai City ......
The largest ice-free port on the entire East China Sea coast.
Located on the outlet coast of the country's largest river, to the north, with the most developed cities on the eastern coast. Pearl City faces each other across the sea.
Due to the geographical conditions. Since ancient times, it has been one of the most famous ports along the entire East China Sea.
In recent years, it has become the largest military port on the coast of the East China Sea!
Of course......
This is just information on the surface!
In fact, in the vast mountains hundreds of miles south of Dinghai City, under the endless steep cliffs, there is a very inconspicuous small harbor!
This small! It's just relative to Dinghai City!
And this seaport is the real station of the entire East China Sea Fleet!
Before the Great Destruction......
There are even rumors. In this harbor, China's first truly self-made aircraft carrier is being secretly built.
But that's all in the past......
Now. The once heavily guarded military port was in a depression.
In the harbor that was once full of warships, you can only occasionally see one or two dilapidated abandoned warships, and more often than not, some broken floating objects.
Near the entrance to the harbor......
You can even see a huge warship that is only half cut down, stuck diagonally into the sea.
And that's just the harbor......
In comparison, the situation on the shore is even worse!
devastated ......
The shore, once filled with buildings, is now almost leveled by artillery fire.
Huge craters are shocking!
From time to time, you can also see the corpse of a huge and monstrous beast.
Clearly, there was a fierce battle that broke out here.
As for the outcome of the battle......
If you look at the situation of the entire military port today, you can see a thing or two.
……
The entire military port is located on the east side of the sea!
And the west side ......
It is a vast mountain with mountains on top of each other.
No one knows that in fact, in this vast mountain, there is actually a huge underground military base.
This military base, originally built for the purpose of guarding the military port, was actually only for the purpose of guarding the military port.
But with the passage of time, with the development of the military port, this military base gradually became the largest military station on the entire eastern coast.
Because of geography......
This military base, after the great destruction, has been very well preserved.
After half a year of development, it has now become the largest gathering place for survivors in the entire east and even in the southeast.
It is also the largest military base in the entire eastern part of the country, still under government control!
The entire military base, surrounded by mountains......
The originally lush jungle has grown more and more lush and tall under the influence of viruses and nuclear radiation.
Walking in it is like being in a primeval jungle!
Due to the treacherous and remote terrain, and the fact that it was originally a military powerhouse, the population living in this area was quite small before the Great Destruction!
This directly leads to the fact that after entering the end times, there are very few dark chasers here.
As a result, it has become the preferred refuge place for survivors throughout the eastern seaboard......
……………………
In the dense forest north of the base......
As the temperature continues to drop, the entire mountainous area is now completely covered in heavy snow.
Looking at the past, the white expanse is ......
Occasionally, a strong wind blows, and the sky is full of crystal clear ice cubes, sprinkled one after another, like raindrops, from the lush branches and leaves.
Fall to the ground......
It has accumulated for a long time, so that now the entire ground of the dense forest is covered with a thick layer of ice.
……
Once upon a time, these ice formations were beautiful! The so-called Ruixue Mega Year!
But now......
This thick layer of ice has only one meaning for the surviving humans, and that is disaster!
The icy ice not only dissipates the already small amount of heat from human bodies, making the climate worse, but also buries a large number of usable plants under the snow.
The famine has worsened......
"Click...... Click......"
In the dense forest with gusting winds, a series of crisp sounds suddenly came out.
It's the sound of the soles of your shoes stepping on the snow.
Hear movement......
A wolf cub the size of a soil dog, who had been foraging in the snow, suddenly erected its pair of pointed triangular ears .......
Staring at a pair of round red eyes, he stared vigilantly in the direction where the voice came.
Soon......
Two wrapped into zongzi-like figures appeared at the end of the dense forest.
The moment I saw these two figures......
This wolf cub the size of a dirt dog instinctively wants to escape!
But after running two or three meters, it actually stopped again......
Perhaps the rabbit suddenly remembered that now human beings are no longer the rulers of the earth in the first place, and it seems that they do not need to be afraid of these human beings.
"Brother, look at ......"
Liangdao finally found this wolf cub the size of a dog.
One of the figures pointed in the direction of the wolf cub, and his voice was full of surprise: "It's a wolf, it's a wolf cub......"
It is indeed worth the surprise......
You must know that in today's forest sea, all kinds of animals have mutated and become ferocious and violent.
Even rabbits and rats, which usually run away when they see humans, are now able to bite!
And the strength is not weak!
Ordinary boosters may not be able to beat it!
Because of this!
Hunters like them who come out to hunt mutated animals often take great risks!
But if it's an animal cub!
The risk they take is undoubtedly much smaller!
Don't wait for him to shout a few times......
The brother in his mouth, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, rushed over, covered his mouth, and said angrily: "You want to die!" What's the call? ”
After scolding, my brother also vigilantly inspected the surroundings.
lest it alarm some dangerous existence......
OK......
Except for the "......rustling" sound of the leaves blown by the wind, and the crisp sound of "ding dong ......" when the ice cubes collide on the leaves, the surroundings are still quiet!
There's nothing out of the ordinary!
The elder brother slowly let go of the hand covering his younger brother's mouth......
glared at his younger brother fiercely, and slowly pulled out a shotgun from behind.
Skillfully reload the bullets......
