Section 37 Action
According to Huang Manyun, the location of the camp of the Liuyun Clan should be two solar days away from the base, that is, ten days. \\γ\\ Although this way of expression really makes Tianxiang unaccustomed, but there is no way. Hunters have become accustomed to this method of calculating distances in terms of time. The unit of measurement of length created by the ancients was something completely alien to them. meters, kilometers, millimetersγγγγγγγ These terms seem useless to them. Especially in the distance of the distance, it is completely judged by the strength of one's own feet and time. Although, with such a result, there are often too many errors. Two people who walk at completely different speeds will almost double the difference in the distance and proximity of a certain place.
In this regard, Tianxiang has no way. Although he knew very well that it was not right. The only correct way is to refer to the ancient units of measurement of length. But at the end of the day, that's his personal idea after all, and it simply can't be imposed on anyone. If you want to change this situation, you can only use practical effects to make others understand and understand your own practices, so as to finally gain widespread recognition. Finding and rescuing the remaining women is undoubtedly a big deal, and it is also an urgent matter that must be carried out as soon as possible. After careful discussion with Zhan Feng, Liu Rui, and the newly joined Liuyun Patriarch, Tianxiang finally decided: set off early the next morning, bring enough warm clothes and food, find the remaining Liuyun Clansmen, and bring them back to the base.
Sixty strong men, adding themselves and the matriarch who led the way. This is the figure that Tianxiang came up with after synthesizing all the information and discussing the results with everyone. It is also an indispensable number of personnel involved in rescue operations. According to Huang, more than a hundred more women were left in the camp. If you want to rescue them, you have to bring enough things with you. A set of clothes for each person is for sure. The number is not enough, so it will be taken off from the clansmen first. There was plenty of fuel and felt in the base, enough for them to make a new set of land. As for the meat, it's as simple as prying off the cold storage in large chunks. Bake directly on the fire. The dried meat after reducing the moisture is not only very filling, but also the weight is not heavy. A piece of frozen trichinella meat the size of an arm, after being completely dried, is only three of the original. It's only a quarter.
Even so, when all the things that had to be prepared were stacked together, they were stacked into a thick hill. Tianxiang and Zhan Feng carefully counted every item, and selected the defective products that did not meet the requirements. This reduces the burden on the carrier. As for the tools for shipment, it is not a problem either. In the secret warehouse of the curator's room, there are several large wooden boxes filled with rucksacks. Although the number of them cannot meet the requirements of the whole clan, in terms of the people who participated in the rescue this time. It's also enough.
Sixty-two bulging backpacks were placed together like huge pieces of cloth bread. Merely. They are obviously much heavier than their fluffy and light counterparts. Find the women and rescue them. This is Tianxiang's plan. Of course, while saving them, it is also necessary to ensure that the rescuers themselves are replenished. It is not difficult to carry enough jerky to eat on your own for twenty days. Here's the problem. The food they carried, at least a large part of it, was to be provided to the women who were trapped. As a result, everyone has to carry more than twice the amount of jerky they eat. This added a considerable weight to the already heavy backpack.
However, that's not all that needs to be carried.
Food and clothing can only meet the physical needs of the body. Moreover, this is only for security situations where there are no external threats. If you want to survive, you have to bring something more important. Although, its weight is completely proportional to its importance. Weapons.
One M5G43 assault rifle per person. Plus four fully loaded magazines. In addition, each person was given a dagger and four grenades. According to Tianxiang's meaning, he should have brought a few more magazines and a melee pistol. But it can't be helped, all of this adds up. Distributed to everyone's head, it has already exceeded 30 kilograms of Le. It's almost the limit of what the people can afford. Walking out of the gate of the underground base, Tianxiang couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air mixed with wind and snow. Compared to the warm and lively atmosphere in the base, the world outside covered in silver makeup is obviously much more deserted. As far as the eye can see, there is no living thing moving in the empty heaven and earth. A white shrouded in darkness, in a faint glimmer of unknown light, exuded an inexplicable dead silence.
This is the earth, the earth that once gave birth to all things, and it is also the home on which human beings live. But now, it's just a scarred planet that survived the war of destruction. "Let's go!" With a simple command full of power, a heavily armed team suddenly exited from a hidden entrance on the ground. Meandering through the snow. From a distance, it looks like a neat and orderly team of insects, trying to find their target hidden by the heavy snow according to some kind of law...... The heavy backpack and weapons are not too much of a burden for Tianxiang at all. The Tai Chi method running in the body is like a machine that can provide a constant supply of energy, so that you can hardly feel the fatigue caused by strenuous physical exercise. Because of this, Tianxiang carried more than twice as many things as his clansmen. Although, such a move seems normal to him. But in the eyes of the people who are struggling to trek, it has completely become something with another meaning. Tianxiang, who was striding in front of the team, didn't notice at all that the eyes of the clansmen behind him projected on him obviously carried more worship and respect than before. Walking with snow up to your legs can be difficult. And carrying a lot of materials on his body, it has also become the biggest burden for everyone at this time. Fortunately, these clansmen are all strong people carefully selected by Tianxiang, and their weight-bearing capacity is far beyond that of ordinary people. What's more, during this period of time, Tianxiang has carried out a series of training in order to increase the physical fitness of the clan, which has also improved their ability in this regard. It was a little difficult to walk, but I didn't feel that it was too hard. In contrast, Huang Manyun's situation is much worse. Although Tianxiang had taken care of it before departure, he reduced the weight of his backpack by nearly half. But it didn't work, and after walking for less than half a day, the strong matriarch was already out of breath. Perspiring. Of course, doing so is not without its benefits. At the very least, the cold threat seems to be gone. After wiping the beads of sweat from her head, the matriarch said helplessly with a few jokes, wanting to take off her felt clothes. Because, wearing it, I was so hot that I could barely breathe. Wake up in the morning and stay overnight. A few days later, the rescue team had walked out of the ruins of the original city. Begin to enter an even more inhospitable world. Compared to the city, there are not as many reinforced concrete here, but there are many more plants towering in the snow. It's just that these frost-wrapped plants are obviously already dead. Only the withered yellow stems on the ground are silently telling these human beings who have walked silently about their once young life and their desire for sunshine. "We are already not far from the camp, counting from here. If we keep up at the current pace, we will probably only need three more days to reach our destination."
On a huge dead tree, Huang Manyun found the mark he had made when he came. It was a grayish-white mark that had been cut from the middle of the tree. According to her, it was a mark to prevent disorientation. Obviously, the progress of the rescue team's operation has far exceeded that of the time when the Liuyun people came. Thinking of this, Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a little helpless. If you knew the exact distance in advance, you wouldn't have to carry such a heavy backpack on your back. The need for supplies may be mitigated accordingly.
It's just that this regret didn't last long. Two days later, the rescue team had arrived at the abandoned ruins of Leyi, and judging from the remnants of the remaining walls, this should have been a village where ancient people lived. The crumbling reverse roof was covered with a thick layer of snow. Several dilapidated houses had long since been crushed by the sheer weight of the earth. Leaving only the broken beams, and the walls that had lost their roofs, stood there alone, looking sadly and silently at all these things that they could not stop. Although there was no shelter from the wind and snow in an underground base, the hunters built warm campfires against the low remnants of the walls. Compared to the endless wilderness, these broken earthen walls are much better. At the very least, they can block the wind and provide a relatively warm place to rest after a hard day's work. Dead plants collected from the snow became the only source of fuel. And some of the combustion ingredients added to it also make the flame burn more durable. Even before departure, Tianxiang had foreseen the difficulties of fuel collection. Therefore, in addition to their own backpack and weapons, each rescuer must also bring a dozen or so dried trichinella shells. Because they found that this kind of thing is very easy to burn and very resistant to burning. Generally speaking, a dry insect shell is enough to be ten times the same volume of fuel insect jerky is chewed hard in the mouth, plus the climate is cold. The frozen jerky is even harder than steel bar. When you bake it over a fire, a lot of water will seep out. Correspondingly, the jerky will become somewhat softer. It's not that much of a hassle to eat. If you roast it for a longer time, the crispy surface will also give off a special aroma. Coupled with the snow water boiling in the clay bowl, such a simple food tastes unique. Rest is always accompanied by pleasure. Despite the cold weather, laughter and hope are always in people's hearts. Soon, after satisfying the requirements of the stomach pouch, all of them invariably tightened their felt clothes and moved their bodies closer to the fire. With the help of the warmth from the nearby ground, they huddled together and soon fell asleep. Unlike them, the sentinels in charge of the guard could not enjoy this comfortable sleep. Before camping, Tianxiang had already dispatched four guards to the surrounding area. Although it is difficult to see things in the distance smoothly in the snowy wind and with poor vision. But for the campers who have not taken any precautions, it is really an extremely necessary and necessary thing. In winter, it is safe for hunters. At the same time, it is a season that is far more dangerous than usual. The cold weather and the snow and ice were enough to keep all creatures out of the way. In order to keep that hard-won warmth, the insects, who are usually ferocious to the extreme, can only hold back their hunger and obediently choose to hide in their nests to sleep. As a result, hunters hardly see any insects when they go out in winter.
But there are always exceptions. The evolution of living things is really quite interesting and incomprehensible. According to the habits of the insects, sleeping in winter should be too normal to be. However. Those insect beasts that have broken through their limitations and evolved to a higher form. Although they inherited the hibernation habits of their ancestors, they were not complete. They will still feel hungry during sleep. The kind of rumbling stomach pouch that wakes up after months on end, and the body that desperately needs nutrients, a frantic protest to the brain. It is required to lead itself as the control center to obtain things as soon as possible. To meet the most primitive and most basic **. Therefore, hunters who go out in winter can occasionally encounter some foraging insects. They tend to be more ferocious than usual. The attack power is also stronger. Moreover, the creatures that encounter them. There is almost no chance of survival.
In order to obtain a piece of flesh that can satisfy the stomach, humans will perform the craziest and most horrific acts. Not to mention the worms. Although, the chances of such a situation happening are not very high. There are very few insects and beasts that can have enough courage to leave the warm nest and come out in search of food.
However, such a situation still exists. Since yesterday. Tianxiang began to feel an inexplicable uneasiness. It was a fear and resistance to the unknown. This feeling has been permeating my mind for a long time. Moreover, as the rescue team got closer and closer to the location that Huang Manyun had said, this uneasiness, which was obviously partly fearful, was also like a heavier and heavier cloud, enveloping his heart. "What went wrong" or what went wrong? For two days, Tianxiang has been thinking about it repeatedly, but he has not received any answers. He also used to diverge the thoughts and feelings in his mind to more places as much as possible, hoping to gain something other in this way. But he was disappointed. Where the feeling of thinking spreads. Except for the cold snow, all that remained was the silent broken walls and the withered and dead plants.
"It's safe, at least for now." Every step of the way. Tianxiang's sense of thought can be extended one step forward, and the distance of detection will naturally be farther. At this time, he always hopes to find something in it, so as to relieve the inexplicable fear in his heart. After all, it's not pleasant to be shrouded in negativity all the time. Although Tianxiang's mental endurance is far beyond ordinary people, in the final analysis, he is still a person. An ordinary person.
Although, many of his abilities are stronger than ordinary people. But he was human after all. Before camping, Tianxiang once again let go of his thoughts and carefully searched every area nearby. Except for hundreds of insects hiding in burrows more than ten meters deep under the frozen soil, comfortably crowded together with their heads covered and sleeping, no trace of the existence of any creature was found. This reassured him a little. Judging from the detection range of Sigan, one thousand meters is definitely an inaccessible distance. Especially in snow where movement is difficult. With the vigilance of the sentinels and the thoughts they let out, as long as there is any abnormal movement, all of them can immediately enter a state of full alert. However, the uneasiness that hangs over us is also stronger. So much so that Tianxiang couldn't sleep peacefully, and could only toss and turn in front of the fire anxiously.
The insect brain's ability to predict, at this moment, once again showed its mysterious perception of the unknown. I don't know what it is, and where the inexplicable threat comes from. However, it is still able to detect danger.
Although, until now, there has been no indication of the presence of danger at all. Flying snow fell to the ground, and the burning bonfire crackled as a result. The warmth of the flame makes people sleep more soundly. In the dim world, a few restless breezes blew from time to time. All of this shows a rare sense of serenity and serenity.
