Chapter 6: The Tide of Beasts (I)
"My name is Shi Han!"
"Huh? What's your name? ”
Shi Han immediately reacted, and hurriedly explained, "Oh, you misunderstood, I am not Commander Wu's biological son, I was adopted by him. ”
After explaining, several other people also made introductions, the giant man with a head of two meters is called Li Dahu, Li Erhu who guards Shi Han is his younger brother, the scout Li Xuan who carries the bow on his back, the only one holding a rifle is called Huang Feng, and there are two Su Changming and Li Zhuang who make spears.
Everyone gave a general introduction, and hurriedly walked back, according to Su Su, this time they couldn't get bullets, and there were not many bullets in the tribe's inventory. Therefore, in a few days, the beast tide should be well arranged and try to save bullets.
On the way back, because of the presence of the dragon python, they avoided the harassment of many poisonous insects and beasts, and they were all experienced hunters, so the speed was faster than expected.
Seeing that it was already dark, they finally arrived at the camp where they came. Everyone finally became a lot more affectionate to Shi Han, although Shi Han slowed down everyone's speed, but the little dragon python also saved everyone a lot of trouble, and the speed of the two phases was about the same as when they came.
In addition, everyone is optimistic about the future of the little dragon python when he grows up, so he naturally makes love to Shi Han.
So Shi Han took advantage of the dragon, and ate the dried meat and water they brought, needless to say, clean water is a strategic material in the wilderness, and now the water of all surface rivers in the wasteland cannot be drunk directly, because with the water cycle, the ocean, the sky, and the rivers have been polluted.
Drinking water is generally obtained by machinery and equipment in the city, and the tribes mainly rely on exchanging food or other supplies from the city for drinking water. In addition, the sap secreted by some special plants can be extracted and drunk, but these plants are generally special and scarce, and are used as a backup water source.
A very small number of hot spring waters are drinkable, and generally large tribes are formed in these places. For example, the Red Rock tribe, because they guard a cave, the cave can steadily produce some edible water.
After another two days of trekking, they finally returned to Fengyan Mountain, due to the rise in global sea level, no one knows how many meters above sea level of Fengyan Mountain was before, and there is no record of it, only the name has been passed down with the tribe.
From a distance, it is only a small hill, and through the jungle at the foot of the mountain, there is a wooden fence five or six meters high near the top of the mountain.
Shi Han asked in surprise, "You rely on this to resist the beast tide?" ”
"Or else?" Su Su asked rhetorically.
"Can this block the dragon python's attack?"
"Dragon python doesn't come here!" Su Su glanced at Shi Han.
Shi Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that the beast tide was a ghost made by Lato, so this kind of small tribe dragon python did not come. The high tide can't reach here, so you don't have to face the giant octopus in the sea. It is estimated that large birds of prey such as cloud eagles will not visit here either. Therefore, the strength of the beast tide here and the base of the river lake is not the same.
"So what kind of mutant beasts are the main beasts in this beast tide?"
Li Erhu came over and explained: "It's mainly wind wolves, clouded leopards, black bears, big wild boars, and mountain rats!" ”
"Mountain rats?" Shi Han sighed again, wind wolves, clouded leopards, and big wild boars are leftovers on the side of the Sichuan Lake base, and they can't go up at all in the face of the tall city walls.
The most dangerous beast tide faced by the Chuanhu base is the dragon python, and the cloud eagle, the dragon python amphibious attack direction is invincible and powerful, and it also has poison. Cloud Eagle is the overlord of the sky, and for bases that do not have air supremacy, Cloud Eagle is often the most harmful to each beast tide.
The mutated creatures in the sea are often blocked by the city walls, and only the giant octopus occasionally breaks through the defense line and causes some casualties.
"Don't underestimate the mouses! They can drill holes, they can climb walls, and they can't prevent it! Every time, the beast tide mountain rat is the most harmful! ”
Shi Han was silent, the situation of the tribe was completely foreign to him.
Along a small gate one person wide, they passed through the fence, which was not a single layer, but a double fence about two meters thick, filled with stones and dirt.
Inside the fence are about forty or fifty houses made of stone and wood, and next to the houses are dozens of acres of farmland planted with wheat.
Most of the chimneys are smoking, and the sun is setting and the wheat waves are rippling, which is a harmonious picture.
"The leader is back!" In the distance, I heard a child shouting loudly.
I saw some people gradually surround me, and then I saw the only fresh face, and at this time Shi Han was still wearing the blue overalls and white coats of the laboratory.
It's just that after soaking in the seawater, climbing trees and dying with dragon python blood, and trekking for three or four days, it has already become a flowery and dirty mantle, which is similar to other people's gray cloaks.
"Who is this man?"
"This man is so white! It's whiter than Erniu's daughter-in-law! ”
"Yo! How do you know he's whiter than Erniu's daughter-in-law? ”
"Hahaha......" burst into laughter.
Su Su stood in front of a house at the front, there was a small open space, and she just glanced around.
The voices below immediately disappeared, and everyone was waiting for her to speak.
"His name is Shi Han, and he will be a member of our Fengyan tribe in the future."
"Bang Bang Bang . . . Li Erhu took the lead in applauding, so in the midst of applause, Shi Han joined the tribe.
Finally, two more days passed, and on September 15, all that was now used was the lunar calendar, and the Gregorian calendar was only used to remember the year.
An early moon hung in the sky on the distant hills.
There are only 89 people in the Fengyan tribe, of which 59 are 15~60 years old, and all men and women are guarding the wall.
Because they have a one-to-two ratio of men to women! If you only go to the man, you won't be able to defend the wall at all!
Of the remaining 30 people, only 7 are over 60 years old! And everyone has a disability of some degree or severity.
The beast tide had not yet arrived, and Shi Han had already felt a strong atmosphere of slaughter.
"Brother, I'm going to compete with you later!" A childish voice spoke to the little boy next to her.
"Ling'er, you are still young, wait until you are five years old and then compare with us!" The little boy coaxed his sister skillfully, but in fact he was only six years old.
After coaxing his sister, he was busy discussing with a few children of about the same age, and finally the children each took out something and put it in a wooden box.
Shi Han saw that there were glass balls inside, there were mutant beast teeth, there were ornaments made of unknown bones, etc., these were the rewards for the person who hunted the most among them tonight.
Xiao Ling'er puffed up a dagger in her hand and pierced the ground for a while.
None of the children over the age of 10 participated in such competitions, because they were already patrolling the fields and houses in pairs.
Shi Han had no experience in facing the beast tide directly, so he was arranged to be with these old people and children to guard the storehouse.
Shi Han shook the spear in his hand and reluctantly accepted the fact that he was looked down upon by everyone.
"Dragon, dragon, grow up quickly! My dignified seven-foot man was actually placed in the old and weak team! ”
The little dragon python hissed and spat out the letter, as if it was also starting to get excited.
"Wow~woo~~~"
A high-pitched wolf howl resounded through the four fields, as if blowing the horn of attack, Shi Han's heart was pounding, and he vaguely felt some kind of calling.
It's a consciousness amplifier! Lato's stuff on the moon! Shi Han vaguely caught that ripple!
Sure enough, it is automatically triggered, and every full moon night will cause a beast tide!
Shi Han stood up and looked at the side of the wall, and heard a kind voice say, "Don't be nervous, child, it will be about two hours before the peak arrives!" ”
Shi Han only knew that there was a beast tide before, but all children under the age of 16 in the base were not allowed to go to the city wall, and they would stay in the safe base when the beast tide was in place.
Moreover, after Shi Han was ten years old, he soaked in Wu Qingnian's study or laboratory every day, and never paid attention to the beast tide.
At this time, listening to the high-pitched beast roars one after another in my ears, I really realized what the beast tide is!
"Beep, beep, beep!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
Whistles of various rhythms sounded on the fence, which was a communication signal set by themselves.
The north side of the Fengyan tribe camp is a towering mountain wall, and the other three walls are about 500 meters long, and they are divided into 12 teams of five people, ten teams are fortified, and two teams are mobile support.
On average, each person has to guard a 10-metre-wide fence.
The main force of the first wave was a large group of jackals and wild cats, mixed with some mutated snakes and rats, etc.
Facing a log fence five or six meters high, a wild cat weighing only forty or fifty pounds and about one meter long can walk on the ground.
But the guards on the wall are all warriors who have been accustomed to seeing the beast tide for many years, and they have a tacit understanding that each has a good goal, and no one will move until the last jump of the wild cat.
"Meow~" The wild cat jumped left and right with a terrible cry, walking in a zigzag pattern on the wall, and when the last kick was already aimed at the target to be attacked!
"Whew!" A cold light flashed, and with a whistle, it slashed towards the wild cat's waist and abdomen!
"Whew!" The feral cat's tail twisted, bringing out a whistling sound! It's already distorted in mid-air!
"Wow~~" a scream!
The wild cats have already been in a different place, their tricks have already been explored, the first knife is just to force out its big move, and the next person is the killer move!
Most of the wild cats were hacked to death, and a few who did not die also fell under the wall, and were soon dismembered alive by jackals and other wild cats and wild dogs.
If there are a very small number of wild cats that don't take down the two knives, then it is very likely that they will have to pay a price!
Because the wild cats are nimble and cunning, they have not hurt anyone even after their ultimate, and even if they are not injured, they will not fight hard, they will jump into the camp!
Tian Mo is vertical and horizontal in the camp, and there are many houses, and it will be difficult to kill again! It is impossible to transfer too many people from the fence to surround it, and the camp is full of old and weak.
Therefore, if the two knives have not succeeded, they must exchange injuries for injuries and kill the wild cat!
And then there is a group of mutant golden monkeys!
