Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ground Hunting
It's still the super armored car armed to the bumper, and the staffing inside the car is basically not much different from last time.
If you have to say that there is any difference from last time, in fact, there are two less, Mocheng and Feixue.
The two of them came down in a solo flying machine, and after landing, they had to rely on them to lure away the Eater.
And there are two more people, that is, the two named characters who died miserably in the original book - Donnie and Penny.
"Roar! Let's go! ”
This is the energetic Erica.
"I don't think it's something to celebrate."
This is Donnie, who knows Wu He but is not familiar with him.
"Okay, sit down, I'll get a little dizzy ...... later"
This is Mark......
"Wait? Why do I get dizzy? Oh, don't eat sour radish, I remember......"
This is Wu He......
When a sense of weightlessness hits him, Wu He understands why the face of Donnie opposite him has always been so ugly.
This inexplicable feeling of lightheadedness constantly entered Wu He's nerves, and Wu He only felt that the whole person seemed to have turned into a spinning top centered on his head, and his body seemed to be constantly shaking in the air.
Not strong, but the sudden centrifugal force made Wu He almost lose control of his rectum and burst out of a fart......
No matter how others feel, Wu He feels that this thing is much more exciting than the jumping machine. The normal jumping machine is at most, and it is dozens of meters up and down.
Look at their lighthouse here, the armored car is in 50,000 free fall in the air, damn it has to fall for more than 100 seconds even if there is no air resistance, just ask you what do you compare to other extreme projects?
This whole process lasted more than a minute, and I didn't count how much time had passed, after all, I had not yet adapted to sitting for the first time, and I didn't have the heart to count that number at all.
And the vertigo is followed by a strong push back feeling, which is the activation of the jet system on the armored car, as for why the jet system is installed on the armored car? Who knows what the scientists at the lighthouse think, in order not to fall directly into a box after free fall.
With the help of the jet system, the armored car soon regained its bottom-down stance, and the vertigo that had been rolling over before was almost gone.
However, at this time, the faces of the Markers, who were originally quite relaxed, suddenly became serious, and it seemed that the previous ones were just appetizers. The main meal has only just begun.
And that's true, with a strong feeling of pushing his back suddenly, Wu He felt an inexplicable heaviness on his body, an inexplicable depression in his chest, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his brain was a little groggy, anyway, it was uncomfortable anywhere.
"Oh, fuck the Lord of Light and Shadow, you have to develop a flying pulse when you have time, or it won't be too cool to jump off the building every time you want to ......"
The whole landing process didn't take three minutes in total, but Wu He felt that this trip was terrible. Wu He is now in what physical condition, but he has an inexplicable feeling of motion sickness under such an operation. The whole person seems to have returned to his childhood in the previous life......
"All personnel landed safely!"
Hearing the report on the safety of everyone in the report, Mark, who had been full of seriousness since turning on the jet power, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although after rounds of investigation, Mark has a lot better PTSD about "deliberately attracting Extreme Devourers to kill" as the city lord said, but the conspiracy theory that "there are always people who want to harm me" is not completely good.
When I confessed this matter to Ran Bing before, and when I discussed it with her, Ran Bing's sentence "Compared to what kind of people are placed in the hunter team, it is obviously easier to do things on the fallen chariot, Mark, you don't have to worry too much." One sentence scared Mark a lot.
Ran Bing mentioned this sentence casually, but Mark was really scared out of a cold sweat. It's dirty, it's so dirty, Mark hadn't even thought of such a vicious idea before.
Mark checked their equipment several times, and now he was finally relieved, it was just a false alarm......
Now that there is no obstacle to landing, it is natural for the Hunter team to start their own mission.
The group of hunters who landed first basically came to open the way. The wave of jet power that had just crashed to the ground was not only to slow down the armored vehicle, but also to burn the horde of devouring beasts gathered below in the heat.
This trick worked very well as always, and at once it burned a large pile of actual meat into a mass of meat that was sticking together. However, with the backing of the original life production, these guys will be resurrected quickly, or even restored to their original state, so they need to move very quickly......
The first to appear is naturally the old driver Mo Cheng.
Standing up and flying with the wings of the aircraft, the whole person of Mocheng is like a nimble wild goose. Looking down at the snake dog army that was firmly surrounding the armored vehicle troops below, Mocheng lowered his flight altitude by leaning on his wings, and unfortunately the strings of "pomegranates" on the button fell from the aircraft, scattering into a sky full of stars in mid-air, causing a large explosion after landing......
"Hey, grandchildren, look at your side......"
After such a wave, Mo Cheng did not forget to mock loudly, and his passionate emotions immediately attracted the attention of a large number of devouring beasts, and one by one the snakes and dogs did not hesitate to chase after Mo Cheng in the sky.
Behind Mocheng, Feixue, who was relatively slow to fly, found that there was no scorched on the ground and no fish that Mocheng had lured away after circling in the sky.
"One, two, three......"
"A total of seven ......"
Silently counted the fish that slipped through the net below, and Feixue swooped down like Mocheng just now, but unlike the group mockery of Mo City before, Feixue at this moment held the direction with one hand, and in the other hand was a heavy hand cannon fixed on the controller's individual aircraft, and launched a point shot at the devourers below.
Seven shots hit the head of the seven Eaters without firing, but unfortunately, in order to ensure the stability of the aircraft in the air, the caliber of the guns fixed on the aircraft was insufficient, and there was no way to shoot the Eaters in the head with one shot, but it did attract their attention.
Seeing this, Feixue immediately turned around and flew in the direction where Mo City was going......
……
The mission of Mocheng and Blizzard was almost over, and the hunters in the off-road vehicles also quickly started the off-road vehicles after receiving the news, and drove away from the area before the devourers could recover.
Of course, before leaving, Wu He did not forget to open the window, and used the alloy silk hook that could withstand a maximum of 50,000 oxen of tension, that is, it could forcibly lift a light tank, and walked away a relatively outward spiritual breath seed in the pile of corpses roasted by the flames.
Looking at the spirit breath seed that was caught in Wu He's hand, Mark and Ran Bing in the car also cast their eyes......
"Is this the Spiritual Breath Seed?"
Although I had seen Wu He play with the Spirit Breath Seed before, and I had looked at it carefully, but after knowing the true effect and intelligence of this thing, I also felt that I had not observed it carefully enough, and I was re-examining the appearance of this thing, as if I wanted to see something with the naked eye.
And seeing that several people around him were so curious, they were absorbing the vital essence inside the spirit breath seed, and reactivating the sensitive five senses is Wu He also smiled slightly and said:
"Alright, don't look at it, what is stuffed in this thing is the life essence absorbed by the Extreme Devourer. According to my current research, this thing can temporarily strengthen people's five senses and heal people, and also have some effects on enhancing physical fitness. ”
"However, if there is no special method to suppress it, the above buffs will be accompanied by a layer of taunting effect against the Eater of Poles."
"You can't learn my method, you better wait for us to bring the Spiritual Breath Seeds to the lighthouse, and wait for Lady Carrie to research out the use of the Spiritual Breath Seeds that is suitable for most people......
Wu He is really not lying, these are all conclusions that Wu He came to after conducting tests. The essentia of life will be as bright as the sun because of people's emotions, and people's emotions will naturally become active because of the essentia of life.
Wu He couldn't help beating Charles in the central command hall of the lighthouse before, and part of the reason for the explosion of strength was that his thinking was stirred up and emotions stirred up by this thing.
That is to say, Wu He still has a demon and no thoughts, which is relatively restrained, and it is unimaginable for others to change it......
"Of course, if you want to try it, you can't ...... it."
However, when they heard the excellent effect of "launching a group mockery against the Extreme Devouring Beast", almost everyone in the car shook their heads, this effect is not impossible, but forget it now, the hunt has just begun.
However, Mark, who is amazingly good at things about the hunting operation, showed a thoughtful expression, of course, he didn't want to try, just thinking about the next time he lured away the Eater Beast, it seemed that Wu He could go, or let Wu He add a buff......
……
The topic of Spiritual Breath Seeds slowly fell, and everyone in the armored car fell silent, only the sound of wheels running over the dry ground along the way, and no one spoke, trying their best to suppress their emotions and reduce the possibility of attracting the Polar Devourer......
Soon, the hunting team arrived at the target point.
This is a complex of buildings far from the city, with a high wall erected here, and a barbed wire fence at the top, and you can still see the "red apricot out of the wall" in the high wall from a distance. According to data from decades ago inside the lighthouse, it was a military base in the Old World.
According to the data, it once became a large survivor shelter in a nearby city, but then a strong geological disaster occurred in this city, and even the military base could not resist the power of nature, and the local staff had to evacuate in a hurry with a large number of people, and the supplies were not taken care of.
Later, the Manna ecology broke out in this area, and the cities on all sides were full of Manna flowers, and a large number of survivors were taken to another survival base, ready to be brought into the escape ship to escape, but the escape ship failed to take off for unknown reasons, and the survivors were wiped out, and this military base was also gone.
However, based on past information and an analysis of the behavior patterns of the Polar Eaters in the area, it is possible that there are not many Polar Eaters in the military base due to the early evacuation of the survivors......
And according to the high-altitude cameras on the lighthouse, there are still some remnants of military equipment on the perimeter of the base, and according to the destroyed buildings, you can also see some equipment inside that is still corroded by wind and rain.
According to the above intelligence, the lighthouse command determined that there should be energy materials required by the lighthouse here, and the risk coefficient is small, which is very suitable as a hunting target......
Wu He and others were the first to open the road and establish the leading camp, so they were not in a hurry to start work.
After the convoy stopped on a flat ground, Mark and Ran Binghe took the lead in getting out of the car and looking around, and then they got down, and Mark directly gave the order.
"Donnie, Penny, get all the dusters off the car and prepare the supply boxes!"
"Wu He, Erica, lead the fifth and sixth squads, spread the vigilance, and set up camp!"
"Ran Bing, prepare to dock with the lighthouse, be safe here, and send off the remaining participating dust laborers......"
"Yes!" x4
After everyone received the order, they started to take action. Wu He was also assigned a task, so naturally he couldn't touch the fish.
However, Wu He now has a keen sense of the five senses, and he is indeed suitable for this......
Since when the Mana ecology broke out in full force, there were basically no people in this suburb, so there were really not many Pole Eaters in this area, except for the group that was led away by Flying Snow Ink City, there were basically no other Pole Eater activities.
Therefore, Wu He's work has become fishing again......
Of course, Wu He is not really idle, and his eyes are looking at the military base not far away from time to time.
The exterior of the military base is blocked by a high wall, but there is a huge crack on the outside that cuts the military base in the middle, which is a geological rift that is common in the post-disaster world.
Even this crack is considered small, but it cuts through the wall, and it is only a few dozen meters long and one or two meters wide, and the really huge crack is like the rift that the hunter team encountered in front of the hospital in the original book, that is the big guy, thousands of meters long and more than ten meters wide......
Looking through the cracked walls, Wu He looked inside the military base, and could faintly see some slightly moldy buildings and only a few rusty metal parts that he couldn't tell what they were......
Although he didn't find any danger, the seniors in the misty space used blood and tears to tell him not to trust his luck at any time, especially when it came to life-related decisions!
This thing may really work on a whim, and when you feel an ominous premonition, you must not have any carelessness, even if it is an illusion, even if you have some kind of victim paranoia, it is better than death.
Therefore, although Wu He had no basis, Wu He still wanted the commander-in-chief Mark to report his intuition.
Mark still attaches great importance to this. In his opinion, people who can survive in dangerous places must have their own special intuition, although this intuition is sometimes unscientific, but it can save life, and he Mark once felt this way.
And Wu He, a ground survivor, has survived so far, and his intuition must have played a big role, be careful and be vigilant......
……
The work efficiency of the personnel on the lighthouse was still very high, and soon the follow-up personnel came from the lighthouse to the temporary camp on the ground.
Now that the personnel have expired, the hunting work of the Hunter Team is naturally about to begin.
And the first job is, of course, to get into the military bases. The direction in which the Hunter team is located is not the gate of the military base, but the wall.
If the normal process is followed, they would go around to the main entrance, then remove the gate to allow the convoy to enter normally, and then search the interior.
However, the wall on this side happened to have a large hole more than a meter wide due to geological movements, which was enough for three or four people to enter and exit from it side by side, and it was not impossible to even let vehicles in.
Although there was a bottomless crack in the ground, it was basically accessible by laying several layers of steel plates, so Mark naturally decided to enter from here.
Of course, this passage should be widened before entering to prevent damage to the vehicle due to the driver's lack of familiarity......
After all the preparations were done, it was the Hunter team that opened the way in front, and the entire queue was generally semi-arced with a bullet, equipped with heavy three-dimensional on both sides, protecting the dust people in the rear and center.
Wu He, on the other hand, walked side by side with Mark as the head of the bullet. After all, although he is not the commander of the Hunter Squad, who calls him a high force value?
At this time, Wu He, whose five senses were strengthened to the extreme, was also full of self-confidence, walking in front of the team, frantically diverging his sight and hearing, and everything inside the abandoned military base seemed to be included in his senses.
Entering the interior of the military base, the first thing Wu He saw was the rusty metal he had seen outside the military base before, and when he arrived here, Wu He found that this thing was actually a gun part that was not assembled together.
The main thing that rusted was the barrel, because it was metal. Although it is a corrosion-resistant material, it can't stand this kind of wind and sun, and it doesn't dry or wet for decades.
If it weren't for the fact that the plastic body next to it is not easy to degrade and is highly recognizable, it would be difficult for Wu He to see the body of this thing......
"Can't even get a gun? It seems that the retreat is in a hurry~. It doesn't look like a safe handle, and the information on the lighthouse looks a bit pitted, so you have to be careful......"
After reciting two words silently in his heart, Wu He retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.
If it's a complete firearm part, maybe Mark and they will have to stop for a while, after all, smelting metal is a hard-hit area for energy consumption, and ready-made firearm materials are excellent strategic resources.
But forget about the heavily corroded parts of the firearm......
The Hunter team quickly advanced towards the door of one of the nearest buildings.
The door of this building was open, the huge metal door was full of rust, and half of the hinge even collapsed directly, and Wu He had no doubt that he could break the iron door with a little force......
The sunlight shines through the open iron door into the interior of the building, illuminating the first floor of the building, and Wu He and the people present can also see the inside of the building.
"Hemp eggs! I knew I couldn't believe the news on the lighthouse......"
