Chapter 63 Natural and man-made disasters (1)

The newly formed industrial group of Taohuayuan tailored a spear for Wu Han. It is made of all metal and is no longer hollow structure, causing the overall weight to surge to nearly 40 kilograms. The user of this weapon is Wu Han after the body mutated. Such a heavy weight is probably something that ordinary people will be exhausted and panting after fiddling with it for a few times. Don’t mention the use of it freely.

Not only the spear, but Wu Han's other equipment was also updated. The set of leather armor with hair facing outwards was transferred to the survivors of the hunting team this time, and Wu Han himself changed to a set of all-metal plate armor with a net weight of 85 kilograms. This pair of heavy armor, which was polished like a mirror, became Wu Han's new signature. The front of the plate armor is a three-centimeter carburized hardened steel plate. Such an abnormal thickness is comparable to that of early tank armor. Not to mention, this weight alone can directly crush ordinary people to death. Compared with the extremely amazing weight, the defense performance of this pair of armor is limited.

In order to show compassion for all your subordinates, Wu Han could only generously give up the leather armor that ordinary people could carry, and switch to this set of bulky family items. As the leader, it is essential to be polite to subordinates. Regardless of whether it is true or false, you must have a posture.

The hunting team, which was still in the early stage, completed the initial personnel arrangement and marshalling after a period of intensive training. As the survivors gradually became familiar with the training procedures, they began to distribute weapons and equipment, conduct formation drills and live-fire shooting. Although there are still many unsatisfactory points, they have made great progress compared to the empty airs of the scattered soldiers and bravely roaming the previous two days.

Hard work will bring you rewards. For the survivors selected to participate in the hunting operation, Wu Han implemented a harsh training and selection system, and eliminated all those who were considered to be ineligible to participate in the operation, especially those who were seriously illegal acts such as retreating in the face of the situation, and did not hesitate to make such harsh words as killing the spot. Fortunately, it has not been truly implemented. Under the high-pressure policy, it will inevitably arouse resistance, but it is hard to say that the ruthless means shown by Wu Han in training and the powerful force that is completely non-human shocked a few dissatisfied new entrants and established Wu Han's prestige as a leader.

After this painful exercise that exhausted everyone physically and mentally for two weeks, Wu Han cautiously expressed that the hunting team could go out and try their skills in the near future.

The mountains surrounding the Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area are rolling and rolling. Although these mountains are not very steep, climbing on foot is still extremely physically consuming. At the beginning, the Peach Blossom Land hunting team took the valley in the core area as the center, first started sweeping from the north, and then gradually expanded out along the spiral route to maximize the elimination of monsters living around Peach Blossom Land. Survivors should use this to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.

Before leaving, Wu Han looked at the family members and other survivors who came to see him off, and thought for a long time with complicated eyes. Finally, he waved his hand at the selected hunting team member and said:

"Okay, let's go."

Hongliu Company, the old enemy, did not intimidate. Although the number of monsters that have entered the Peach Blossom Valley recently has not increased significantly, through investigation, we can see that today, living in this mountainous area, humans cannot even call it a name and can't count new species. Fortunately, most of them are vegetarians, and only tender branches and grass can satisfy their appetites. The carnivorous beasts that track migrating herbivores will not attack unfamiliar humans before they are hungry until they completely lose their minds. At present, both sides can maintain a relatively restrained attitude, and the well water will not interfere with the river.

That damn locust plague changed everything. Walking in the mountains and forests, you can't hear insects and birds singing, but only the silence and depression like death.

The ecosystem of this mountain forest suffered a devastating blow in the locust plague. The trees that should have been infected with some autumn colors also lost the green that symbolizes the rebirth and the colorful autumn that was right at the same time. Those trees that survived the flood were not tall and tall, and now only a few leaves remained. At present, the weak branches that were helplessly stretched towards the lonely blue sky like an orphan. After the locust plague, the mountains near the Peach Blossom Land became lacking in food sources, causing herbivores to flee from other places, and carnivores had to move to the land to be good.

Perhaps because of this, the mountains seem particularly empty and quiet at this moment. Survivors can't help but feel depressed and difficult to understand when walking in such a quiet environment for a long time.

"Ao!"

When he heard the howl of a beast in front of him, Wu Han, wearing all-metal plate armor, immediately rushed to the front of the team with a squeak of metal friction, playing the role of the spear tip. It is hard to say that Wu Han's shiny and shaped like a billboard, did play a calming role in seeing it. The members of the hunting team behind him set up defensive formations that had been tempered by actual combat. At the end of the queue, several chariots used to load hunting objects ran over the ground and made a slight squeaking sound, and everyone quickly formed a circular array to prepare for the unexpected situation.

"Red Wolf, it's Red Wolf coming. Everyone organized defense on the spot, hurry up. The first team raised their spears, and the second team prepared to shoot..."

As soon as they heard this howl that people were more familiar with, the survivors became nervous. Without Wu Han's intervention, several small team leaders in the team automatically shouted and arranged personnel.

The hunting team in Peach Blossom Land has set out for the second time, and people are no longer as clumsy as before. In the previous hunting operation, the trophy hunted has been sent back to Peach Blossom Land for storage and treatment. This time, the journey has been further away, so the monsters I encountered are a little more difficult than the original one. In the past two days, the survivors are no longer surprised. If they encounter herbivore animals, it is okay to catch them at most, and at most they will end up sweating. However, when they encounter those ferocious carnivores, they are not so cheap. Both sides have to pay a blood price to break up and say goodbye to each other.

If the huge giant beast is about to come, Wu Han can handle it alone and will not cause too much casualties. However, it would be a bit difficult to do if the Red Wolf is more than three times larger than the ordinary wolf and is accustomed to dozens or hundreds of predators hunting in groups in one piece.

The red wolf in the survivors' mouths, as the name suggests, is a carnivore with red fur all over the body, as bright as a burning and leaping flame, and looks similar to a wolf. The red wolf has great power and can knock down young and middle-aged men in an instant. The biting force of their white teeth is even comparable to that of crocodiles, and the thickness of the thumb can be bitten off. This smarter predator doesn't like to attack fully armed humans, and there are relatively more easy prey to choose to get to the mouth. However, the locust plague broke the food chain and the red wolf pack reached such a difficult situation at present. It is hard to say whether it would choose to attack humans. If the red wolf pack in front was already hungry, I'm afraid that the next battle would be waiting for the Peach Blossom Land hunting team.

He could hear the sound of howlings of wolves from far to near, and Wu Han began to feel nervous. Of course, he was not worried about his own safety.

Even though the red wolf has good teeth, he can't do anything to Wu Han's human-shaped tanks that are armed to the teeth, they pose too great a threat to ordinary hunting team members. If the human survivors on the weak side do not rely on collective strength to defend themselves, under the rapid raid of the red wolf pack, they are afraid that Wu Han will be left as a commander of the entire hunting team in the end. On the trailer behind the survivors is the prey caught near a pond in the evening yesterday. It is not necessary to deny that it is probably these baits that emit bloody smell that attracted the red wolf in front.

If you choose to give up the prey you have already obtained, the hunting team should be able to escape the pursuit of the red wolf pack, but the survivors would rather risk their lives to fight these terrifying predators than give up the precious food you have obtained.

After being hit by the locust plague, the field crops in the Peach Blossom Land are approaching their extinction, and the significant reduction in agricultural yields is a foregone conclusion. The famine this winter and next spring are terrifying scenes imaginable. Survivors have survived the great floods all the way. The miserable life of enduring hunger and freezing leaves them with extremely profound and painful memories. There is no need for others to remind them about what hunger feels like. Survivors have this awareness. Any food is extremely precious and its value is equivalent to human life. Anyone with the chance of success in the front line must not give up easily. This is a big event that concerns supporting their family, and they really have no room to retreat.

What the ancients called porridge and rice was hard to come by. The survivors of the Peach Blossom Land, who confronted the red wolf head-on, must have understood the heavy mood of the ancients who had difficulty in making a living, when they spoke this famous saying!

Things in the world are originally unfair. For example, this locust plague. The farmland located in the plains has a high daily temperature accumulation of crops, and the harvest period is several weeks earlier. The harvest of Torrent Company and the Mining Protection Team is much better than that of Peach Blossom Land. The large number of locusts passing through the border almost did not cause any actual losses to them.

Although according to common sense, it is normal to sell surplus grains that cannot be eaten and communicate with neighbors whether they have any or not, Wu Han is very clear about the deep ideas of these two neighbors and always has no illusions about the solutions to purchase food from abroad.

Although Meng Shenji is an old fox with profound calculations, he is the master of taking three steps, and Wang Chao, who seems to be intimate and generous, is a standard smiling tiger. A harmonious atmosphere is just an appearance. When it is time to turn against each other, Wu Han dares to bet that this Beidou Shenquan will not be ruthless at all. Anyone who dares to underestimate these two people is that he is gnawed so much that he doesn't even have any bones left. If there is a little choice, I'm afraid they would rather eat their shoes than sell their food to the competitor Taohuayuan.
