Chapter 283: Paratroopers
Just now, he could avoid the sneak attack of the wooden arrow in the open space, but this time, of course, it was even more impossible to be shot by the wooden arrow, and Fan Wu avoided all three arrows with a little avoidance.
Fan Wu glanced at the wooden arrows nailed to the tree next to him, and found that the production process of these wooden arrows was very rough, just a simple sharpening and smoothing were used as arrow shafts, and the arrows were also a slightly polished triangular piece of metal.
However, the archery must be strong, such a simple wooden arrow can make Fan Wu feel a little threatened, but Fan Wu didn't take him too seriously.
Gods, demons and monsters have been around for many years, and they still use such primitive weapons, either their strength is too high and they don't mind using any weapons, or they don't have the resources at hand, so they have to use such rudimentary things as a last resort.
Of course, Fan Wu would not think about the first possibility, if it was the second possibility, then who would be in the settlement, refugees?
This possibility is not impossible, although it is estimated that most of the remaining 1 billion human beings have been divided up by those big forces, but the world is so big, there will definitely be some survivors who have not been found.
Or those who do not want to be ruled by those big forces, or they are in the rear of the enemy, so they are abandoned by those big forces, there are all kinds of possibilities.
But even in the areas behind enemy lines, not every inch of land will have enemies, which may create some independent survivor settlements away from the armies of both sides.
Fan Wu judged that the one in front of him was very likely to be like this, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion before he went in to understand, and after avoiding the two rounds of wooden arrows, the other party stopped releasing the arrows, and Fan Wu didn't speak again to attract the other party's attention.
Instead, he hid in the dense forest environment, and walked all the way through half a circle to the side of the settlement, wanting to sneak in to see what was going on.
It was only when he got closer that he realized that the settlement was located on a clearing, which looked like it had been deliberately emptied, and there were no trees at a distance of 200 meters.
It seems that the inhabitants inside have implemented the strategy of clearing the walls and wilderness commonly used in ancient wars, and cleaned up the surrounding area, presumably to prevent people from sneaking in.
Just when Fan Wu wanted to go into the open space desperately, he suddenly heard a faint roar in the sky, the sound was not loud, but because Fan Wu had been paying attention to the movement in the sky during this time, he was able to pay attention to it.
It's just that when he looked up at the sky, he couldn't see anything, and nothing happened after this roar, so Fan Wu didn't stay there any longer.
But at that time, when he had just walked a few meters, he immediately retreated into the original dense forest, because he saw a bunch of black dots in the sky, and the target of their whereabouts seemed to be the settlement in front of him.
The black dots became clear from small to large, it turned out to be people, hundreds of people fell directly from the sky, at first Fan Wu thought it was a plane crash or something, but after seeing their posture clearly, he knew that things were not simple.
Because these people are all falling in a normal standing position, and the distance between them is almost the same, there is no trace of chaos, it is definitely not the result of a plane crash, but it is like a paratrooper group parachute formation, but none of them have parachutes on them.
It's not that it hasn't been opened, but it's really not, Fan Wu doesn't know if these people want to commit suicide collectively, because according to the momentum of their fall, there doesn't seem to be any intention of slowing down.
Soon these hundreds of people had already fallen to a height of less than 100 meters, and there was still no sign of slowing down, Fan Wu couldn't help but wonder what kind of way they were going to land.
These people quickly gave an answer, that is, it fell directly to the ground, without any buffer, and smashed directly on the ground like that, raising a very large amount of dust.
Most of the hundreds of people fell directly into the settlement, but there were dozens more on the periphery, and from their position, it seemed that they were going to encircle the settlement entirely.
Because Fan Wu was still 200 meters away from the settlement, his field of vision was quite wide, so he could see the more than 20 people who fell on this side clearly.
They really just fell at high speed, and then landed directly with their feet, and the rumbling sound continued, and all of these people had half a leg directly inserted into the ground, and the exaggerated landing method not only made a loud noise, but also raised a very large amount of dust.
For a while, the entire periphery of the settlement was covered, and when the dust fell and the scene was restored, those people had already pulled their feet out of the ground, and no one surrounded the settlement from a distance of about 30 meters.
Although there didn't seem to be a trace of siege, Fan Wu just felt that it seemed that only these dozens of people were enough to trap the settlement to death.
After those people fell, Fan Wu had already recognized that they were the same as the reformers he had encountered before, and they should be the centaurs of the same force.
Since it's them, there's no need to wonder why they can land like this, it is estimated that this batch of modified people who have strengthened their feet, or their limbs may be strengthened.
Fan Wu still has a little bit of palpitations about these transformed people now, and the 6 people who have fused the blood arrows 5 times before don't know what is going on now, and they are probably looking for themselves all over the world.
Except for those disgusting bugs, Fan Wu was chased and escaped for the first time, damn, wait until my barbarian skills are completed and then go back to them to settle accounts.
Fan Wu didn't want to go out now to attract the attention of these reformers, there was no threat to these hundreds of people in front of him, but it would be difficult to attract those 6 guys, and Fan Wu didn't want to abscond thousands of miles again.
In the dense forest, through the leaves, it was clear that the people surrounding the settlement did not move, but just stood there like javelins.
In the settlement, there was a faint and continuous scream, but it didn't stop for long, and Fan Wu couldn't see the situation inside from here at all.
So I don't know if these reformers killed quickly or if there weren't many people in it in the first place, anyway, there were only a dozen screams, and then the whole settlement fell silent.
It didn't take long for those reformers who fell directly into the settlement to come out one after another, and Fan Wu didn't see much trace of the battle from them, and it was estimated that it should be a one-sided massacre.
Because they don't know what kind of force these reformed people really belong to, there is no way to tell whether their action is a battle between forces or a war between the two worlds.
If there is a battle between the two forces, of course, there will be nothing to do with Fan Wu, even if it is a war between the two worlds, Fan Wu is a little helpless now, after all, for the time being, he is still in the process of running away.
If it ran out impulsively, maybe the person would not be saved, Fan Wu would have put himself in, and those reformers would regroup and retreat in the direction opposite Fan Wu after they came out.
After they were all gone, Fan Wu slowly came out of the hiding place, first detoured to the vicinity of the place where he was attacked before, and found that the ambush points were already empty.
I don't know if I fled or went to pursue the enemy, anyway, no one was there now, so Fan Wu walked around in a big circle to check it out before slowly walking into the settlement.
There was a fence around the perimeter of the settlement, so Fan Wu hadn't seen the situation inside before, and when he came in, he realized that it was too simple.
Except for the walls, which are made of brick and stone, all the buildings inside are made of wood, and they are not single-family buildings, but in the style of greenhouses.
There are dozens of wooden sheds covering more than 500 square meters, with pillars made of coarse tree trunks made of local materials, and the roof of the shed is made of thin trunks and barely shaped planks, on which are covered with a thick mixture of hay, leaves and earth.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a primitive society, Fan Wu didn't expect it to be like this, isn't the earth a modern society now? How can it be like this?
Those greenhouses have been trampled by the transformation people who fell from the sky, and it seems that the original dilapidated place is even more dilapidated, and the scene is a mess.
However, Fan Wu still found the source of those screams in the dilapidated settlement, and it was indeed some ordinary human beings, but there were not many of them, and there were less than twenty people in the approximate count.
Basically, all of them are old men and old ladies, and now Fan Wu has a rough guess in his heart, looking at the scale and number of these greenhouses, it is estimated that there should be a lot of people in this settlement.
And it should still be very active, otherwise it won't attract the attack of the reformer's forces, but it is estimated that the people here should have evacuated one step in advance.
It's just that some old, weak, sick and disabled people are left in the settlement as bait, although it seems a bit cruel, but there is nothing wrong with this in the war.
Fan Wuzhi would not be angry for this reason, but admired the courage of the decision-makers in the settlement, if it were him, it was estimated that he would take these old people with him to evacuate, but this could seriously slow down the evacuation and bring greater danger.
So Fan Wu knew that he was not suitable to be a leader, it was important to improve his strength as soon as possible, and the most important thing was to hurry back to find those 6 guys to fight again, it was not a thing to be chased like this all the time.
Thinking of these 6 people, Fan Wu immediately stepped up his search in the settlement, and after finding that there was nothing special, he immediately left here and continued to hide in the dense forest.
It's just that he didn't know that one of the six people passed by not long after he left the settlement, but he didn't find Fan Wu, but just happened to track it here.
This person stopped in the settlement for a while and continued to follow the established direction, fortunately, the direction he went to was staggered with the route Fan Wu was taking, as long as neither side changed the route, it should not be encountered again.
After walking in the dense forest for another two days, Fan Wu finally found the location of a town surrounded by a 5-meter-high cement wall, and Fan Wu saw people patrolling back and forth on the wall.
