Chapter 31: The Blood Tide

The scene of the outpost is completely presented in front of you, about one-fifth of the bloody plain, in addition to the huge waiting hall, there are also many earthen houses and wells, there is no need to worry about housing and drinking water, but the food needs to be solved by yourself.

People have limited backpack space and can carry food for a few days at most.

Without a way to get food from the wild, humans will not be able to gain a foothold in the Bloodlight Plains.

The cost of traveling to and from Camp Dawn is too high, and the outside is full of scavengers known as "wilderness bandits"!

It was not possible to bring food from the camp.

Liu Shisha asked, "Is there water in the well?" ”

The fat man ran over and picked up the tattered bucket, threw it into the well and pulled out half of it. Although there is not much water in the well, it is indeed not a dry well, but the water quality is not ideal, and the red suspended solids make the water turn light red. The fat man picked up the bucket and took a sip, but it squirted out.

Lei Ming asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Whew! What kind of stinky water is this, it's worse than urine! ”

"It's nice to have water to drink!" Lei Ming roughly counted, there were more than thirty wells, "There seem to be a lot of monsters outside, and there are many gatherers in our team, and by hunting monsters, we can barely solve the trouble of food." ”

That being said, the situation remains difficult.

There are more than 1,000 people in the entire team, even if Zhang Mu is included, less than 15 people have collection skills. It's good for a monster to collect two or three servings of food, how can this situation meet the need? Bringing your own food lasts for three days, during which time you keep getting food from the wild, up to two days.

At most, they will run out of food for a week, at which point they will have to return to camp.

Zhang Mu came out and said to everyone: "Find a place to stay, don't go out if you have nothing to do." If you hear anything, close the doors and windows first. As far as I know, there is a natural disaster called the Blood Tide on the Bloodlight Plain, and if it breaks out, people outside will definitely die! ”

"What is a blood tide?"

"A common insect plague in the Bloodlight Plains, I bought related materials in the library yesterday." Lei Ming had to admire Zhang Mu, such a hidden information can be found, "There is a thing called the blood locust that lives in this place, which does not eat grass, only eats meat. The blood tide actually refers to the locust plague, which is not an ordinary locust, but an ordinary level monster. ”

The mourning dog said: "Weishenme doesn't kill tens of thousands to upgrade?" ”

"Blood Locusts are no more than level 10 and cannot gain experience. If we are attacked by hundreds or thousands of locusts at the same time, the mage shield will not be effective, and it will turn into a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye, and the blood tide will be composed of more than a million locusts, which can almost wipe us out."

The fat man burst out with a foul sentence: "So many? Pit daddy! What is the situation now, locusts can eat us? ”

The camp library had very little information on the Bloodlight Plains, and Lei Ming did his homework before coming.

Zhang Mu was very satisfied: "The creatures on the Blood Light Plain have nothing to mess with. So hide it tightly, especially the fat one, you have the most meat! ”

"You can't die well if you eat the fat man's meat!"

"Say less." The mourning dog kicked the fat man, "Look for a house." ”

Zhang Mu said to Liu Shisha and Ye Qianqiu: "A few regiment leaders come over, and we will discuss the action in a few days." ”

A few people chose an earthen house, and the head of the regiment and a few elders went in for a meeting, and the floor in the house was pitted, empty, and unfurnished.

"It's a bit harsher than you think." Zhang Mu put the map on the ground and spread it out, "No matter how much, let's start directly." ”

Liu Shuisha's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance: "This is ......"

Zhang Mu explained: "Regional map of the Bloodlight Plain. ”

Liu Shisha put away his bow and knelt down on one knee to look at the map. The more Liu Shisha looked, the bigger his eyes became, the map was very detailed, the hills and rivers were marked, and the types and distribution of monsters were intuitively displayed on it. The Bloodlight Plain is really dangerous, and if you explore it on your own, you don't know how many people will pay for it.

"Where did you get this map?"

"That's not the point, we don't have enough manpower, not enough to be below the alien attack, the priority is to stand firm and convince more mercenaries to come."

"What do you want to do?" When Liu Shuisha lowered her head, she suddenly found that there was a little spring light looming in her neckline, she quickly covered her chest, and seeing that Zhang Mu didn't notice it, she immediately said again: "Those cowards are not easy to convince." ”

Zhang Mu said: "Interests, interests can make people crazy. The most haode way is to capture a killing secret realm, then record a video, and then post it on the forum, so that everyone can see the harvest of the killing secret realm. ”

Liu Shuisha frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Mu pointed to the map and said: "The nearest small secret realm has three [Fallen Mage Castle], [Blood Corpse City], and [Monster Forest], which can be reached directly by train, and the number of people in the small secret realm is limited to 10-20 people, and there is no participation of foreign races, so we might as well give it a try." ”

Cheng Bo scratched his head: "Which one is suitable?" ”

Zhang Mu pretended to be embarrassed: "Because of the lack of intelligence, I can't make an accurate judgment." However, from the name of the secret realm, [Fallen Mage Castle] is a mission in a castle, while [Blood Corpse City] and [Monster Forest] are in a city and a forest respectively. The former map is smaller, easier to explore, and probably simpler, so you might as well start with [Fallen Mage Castle]. ”

"The biggest trouble we face is the waste pickers out there. Scavengers are eyeing each other, and it is difficult for our mercenaries to go out hunting smoothly, and those who come from here are also vulnerable to ambushes. ”

Ye Qianqiu snorted: "Why don't you find it out and end it all in one pot?" ”

"Waste pickers don't have a fixed settlement, so it's impossible to live together. If an attack is launched on one of the scavengers, the other scavengers will definitely come to their aid, and there are not many of them. With more than 1,000 of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"What then?"

Lei Ming proposed, "We can send elite assassins and killers to assassinate lone scavengers." After all, the scavengers are an intelligent race, and when they find that the members close to the outpost have been assassinated in large numbers, they will definitely withdraw the nearby shili, first fight for a certain living space, ensure that there is a food supply for a few days, and when the people in the camp come over and have enough liliang, they are considering completely eliminating the scavengers. ”

"You can try." Zhang Mu nodded: "Then let Scorpion and Wang Ling organize a team of killers and assassins to start acting tonight." ”

When several people are discussing the next few days.

There was a shrill alarm outside.

"What's going on again?"

Zhang Mu pushed the door out to check what was going on, and the dull voice of a guard robot came out of the loudspeaker: "Warning! The blood tide is approaching! ”

"Make no mistake! Just said the blood tide, and the blood tide arrived? Zhang Mu knew that similar natural disasters occurred frequently on the Bloody Light Plain, and he didn't want to bump into it so soon, so he immediately shouted: "Everyone quickly hide in the house, close the doors and windows!" ”

There was a buzzing sound in the distance, it was an insect creature, the sound of its wings flapping at high speed, more like locking 100 million mosquitoes in the same small secret room as people, and the ears were full of buzzing sounds, making people feel weak.

Zhang Mu shouted loudly with all his might, and the buzzing outside was so loud that it almost overshadowed his voice.

Zhang Mucai hid in the room, and the sky was obviously darkened. The entire outpost was shrouded in red shadows, and the outside was red, and the entire shijie was filled with locust swarms. Although you can't see the outside with your own eyes, you can feel the scene outside.

Suddenly, an old broken brick on the roof was shattered, revealing a small gap.

Zhang Mu's face changed suddenly: "Block it!" ”

Thundering and shielding went to plug the leak, and hundreds of locusts rushed in from the gap, and the gap soon became the size of a skull. The blood locust is called a locust, in fact, the difference is very large, the blood locust is only smaller than the palm, the whole body is blood-red, the forelimbs are like sharp small sickles, and it has chewing mouthparts, which can easily chew rocks.

Cheng Bo took out a talisman and threw his hand on the gap, turning into a blue enchantment to seal the gap. Lei Ming took the opportunity to climb up to the house and blocked it with a shield to prevent more locusts from coming in, several people had blood locusts on their bodies more or less, Zhang Mu felt that his neck and face were bitten off a few pieces of flesh, and Lei Ming was entangled by dozens of blood locusts, but even if he used tempered skin, he could resist for a while.

Zhang Mu pulled out his double swords, the cyan sharp sword slashed, the blood locusts were slashed one by one in the air, Wang Ling threw out a large handful of flying needles, killing dozens of locusts, and with the efforts of several people, the locusts that burrowed into the house were finally cleaned up.

Several people were bitten and their faces were covered with blood, and they couldn't believe that the insects, which were obviously very weak, were so ferocious and bloodthirsty.

The blood tide lasted for more than ten minutes and passed, and there was a fishy smell left in the air, and on the ground and on the roof, there were a lot of blood locusts left by the blood tide.

Most of the 22 people who died in this blood wave were not closed properly, or there were loopholes in the houses, allowing large swarms of blood locusts to swarm in. Most of the armor of the deceased was intact, but the flesh on the whole body was eaten up, and the death was very miserable.

Liu Shisha was bitten several times on his neck, the blood stained the red breastplate, and the full twin peaks not only rose and fell with his breathing, but also made his eyebrows stand upside down, and there were many women of Fengyue mercenaries among the dead.

"We should be glad that we encountered a blood tide at the station, not in the wild!" Zhang Mu stepped on a blood locust, looked up at the red sky and said, "Once the blood tide passes, it will be difficult to find food nearby, our Jihua must speed up, and we will challenge the [Fallen Mage Castle] tonight!" ”

The blood tide will empty nearby creatures, and the mercenaries will be stagnant for a maximum of three days, otherwise they will face a lack of food.

Zhang Mu plans to seize the time to challenge the [Fallen Mage Castle], this is the only secret realm he is familiar with in the Bloodlight Plain, although the difficulty is not low, with his experience and strong team, it should not be difficult to pass smoothly. Because of the blood tide, there is no need to worry about aliens coming over, and other mercenaries can ambush scavengers near the station when Zhang Mu leads the team immediately.

If the number of waste pickers can be reduced, the environmental pressure at the station will be relatively screaming.
