Chapter 171: Winter Hunt (I)
Early in the morning, the biological clock woke Wang Tu from his dream, and when he walked out of the room, there was already a steaming breakfast on the table.
Ye Shiyu tied her hair back at the back of her head, and was holding a rag to carefully wipe the window.
She is a sensible and virtuous girl, empathetic, and can endure hardships, and having her in the place gives Wang Tu a sense of home.
"Why do you wake up so early?" Wang Tu said, flattened his sleeves, and went into the bathroom to wash his face.
"I slept a lot during the day."
Ye Shiyu stood up, put the rag aside, walked over in a somewhat awkward posture, took the toothbrush, and squeezed the toothpaste.
She knew that the king's disciples usually got up early, so in order for him to have breakfast, she got up before dawn.
However, she remembered the people in management she met when she went to the cafeteria to eat......
They looked at themselves strangely one by one, and they didn't dare to get close to each other when they greeted each other.
It wasn't until she talked to Wang Xingliang that the other party teasingly shouted, "I've seen Mrs. Wang", that she suddenly realized.
Yes, he is already his person, since last night.
In the past, Wang Tu was the object of admiration of many women in Xinghuo Town, and he was covered with labels, "domineering chief", "cold", "top appearance", especially his figure...... Almost perfect.
But he never looked at a woman a few more times, and what he talked about the most on weekdays was work.
Therefore, the gossip of the people below in their spare time is speculating who will be the "lucky one" with the best fate.
Some boring people even made a special ranking...... In the rankings, Ye Shiyu is only ranked third.
The second is Qin Yumo, who is capable and material, and most of the men in Xinghuo Town like him.
As for the first, it is...... Tanya.
Because she is the one with the highest status among the women in the entire Spark Town, and her appearance and strength coexist.
Now, the truth has been revealed, and people have begun to look at Ye Shiyu again.
Some people think that this girl hasn't grown up yet, how good is Qin Yumo, obedient, that hot body......
Some people also think that a treasure girl like Ye Shiyu is very rare in the previous drunken environment, not to mention the cruel end times.
So, they called the chief an expert......
Wang Tu was not idle, he was bored or gossiping every day, he finished his breakfast at a speed like a storm, and prepared to go out.
Ye Shiyu brought a military uniform, put it on for him, and fastened every button.
"I'm leaving."
"I'll wait for you ......"
……
Half an hour later, two modified armed pickup trucks and four box trucks followed the white off-road vehicle at the front of the line and slowly drove towards the north of the horizon.
A winter snowfall has been falling for several days one after another, and there is still no intention of stopping.
Countless snowflakes covered everything that was originally desolate, and in the world where the white gradually spread, the black belonging to the wilderness could no longer be seen.
Tires with anti-skid chains ran over the long old road, and the cold breath slipped down the windshield and into the car with the sound of frost breaking.
Qi Dingshan sat in the co-pilot of the white off-road vehicle, his face showed full composure, and his alert eyes always scanned the environment along the way.
Because it was snowy and the speed of the convoy was relatively slow, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"If the town guard is concerned, three hundred people will be enough for the time being......"
Wang Tu was closing his eyes and recuperating, his fingers lightly tapped on his knees, and when he heard it, he lifted his eyelids and said, "You can control this yourself, but my idea is to strengthen the restraint on those who are useless." ”
"There are a lot of retired soldiers in Xinghuo Town, you select them to serve as instructors, and strive to train a group of people within three months."
"Understood." Qi Dingshan nodded silently.
As for the management of people, he lacked experience, so he only got into the king's car when he set off, intending to take the opportunity to ask a few more questions and avoid common sense questions.
"Actually, that's what you're good at." Wang Tu said with a smile and reminded: "You don't have to worry too much, as the deputy captain, just focus on the training task, as for the management ...... You can throw it to Tanya. ”
"Well...... I'll be more attentive, I don't think it's a big problem. "Pondering, Qi Dingshan said.
The king saw through his thoughts, but he didn't break them.
How can a man be not strong, Qi Dingshan will not like the feeling of being pressed by Tanya, which is in line with the original plan of the king.
Stimulate the two of them to carry forward the spirit of learning to catch up with the super, and it is a combination of men and women, and the future development of the town guard will definitely surpass the general survivor armed forces.
"By the way, you can develop a rotation training system, change them regularly, and keep the redundant people as reserves."
Wang Tu thought about it and finally added.
"Remembered." Qi Dingshan's eyes were firm.
The atmosphere fell silent.
The king tilted his head out of the window to see the scenery that was rapidly receding from his view.
At present, Xinghuo Town has a sufficient population, so the cultivated land is very large, and because the seeds were sown before the large area cools down, they have basically all germinated now.
The snow covers the fields like a thick quilt that protects the seedlings.
On some of the ridges, houses were built, and in them lived people from farming teams, who carried homemade shotguns, patrolled day and night, and were called "land keepers".
And in areas outside of farming...... The endless wilderness, still deep in the soil under the snow, is buried with plants with tender roots.
In some places where there are dilapidated scarecrows that are almost falling apart, you can even see frozen melons and fruits.
It is no longer easy for humans to set foot here, but mutant herbivorous species regard this place as a haven to escape from starvation.
Strange horned cow, hairy sheep, swift rabbit, jerboa...... In a parasitic beast atlas in Starfire Town, they are given new names.
When the number of humans plummeted at a frightening rate, in just two months, these species ...... It's increasing rapidly.
The interior of the city is fine, but outside the suburbs, it has been completely overrun by parasitic beasts.
In the cruel end times, the grass-eating species were able to survive well, and the predators who fed on them were not affected much.
For them, the food chain itself has always existed, and when the humans at the top fall down, the space available for survival has quietly expanded a lot.
None of this was very important to the king or the entire Starfire Town, and he led the team out in the snow just to hunt.
Because, those parasitic beasts really like to eat fresh wheat seedlings, and because of their huge size, they cannot be easily driven away.
Wheat seeds are the most important expendable resource in the last days, and if they are destroyed, the next year's harvest will be reduced by one point.
In this regard, Xinghuo Town deliberately drew manpower from the town guards and legions to form a hunting team, and carried out simultaneous operations in multiple directions to implement a dragnet encirclement of those greedy and brainless guys.
The significance of the "Winter Hunt" itself is not small, and one of the teams in which Wang Tu personally participated hoped to achieve the three desired effects.
One is to enhance law and order in the wilderness;
the second is to temper the newcomers of the town guard and train them through actual combat;
The last one is to kill some bulky horned cattle and woolly sheep to stock up on fresh meat for the winter.
