Chapter 201: hope

Zhang Heng is not easy to kill... Really. He swore he was not a man to kill.

Don't look at him being merciless in killing those alien races, it's just because he was stimulated too much. In fact, his heart is quite kind, otherwise he would not be able to drown in the water to save the village children. It is even more terrifying for an honest person to get angry. Although Zhang Heng is not an honest person, he is still a kind-hearted person. It is especially scary for such a person to get angry.

So, after removing Beamon Qiang's fighting power, he directly massacred this Beamon barbarian tribe, a thorough massacre, from the street to the end of the street, and then back from the end of the street. If there are barbarians When people were hiding in rooms or tents, he directly drew his bow and blasted them flat. This kind of massacre lasted for about 20 minutes. In the end, there was only a small group of Beamon barbarian women kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in the end. , children and the like, he stopped with a gloomy face.

Only then did Zhang Heng call the thousands of people in the distance to enter the cottage. One is to clean up the corpses of those barbarians, and the other is to let them help those humans being raised. Zhang Heng has gone to see them. The environment of these people is indeed better than that of the people raised by the mountain barbarians. In a pig's nest full of feces and urine, but no matter how strong it is, it is still kept in captivity like pigs and sheep, and most of the people are still insane, and only less than half of the remaining people see him. , shouting for help...

When the frightened people in the distance entered and received the signal from Zhang Heng, all the people cheered loudly in an instant, especially those young people who had recovered a lot, shouting loudly to the cottage...or half-ruined They ran to the transformed town, and Duan Rui was the one who ran in front of them. These young people were all in their teens and twenties. They seemed to have discussed something a long time ago. He rushed towards Zhang Hengkuang.

Then, under Zhang Heng's surprised gaze, the dozen or so youths shouted loudly to lift Zhang Heng up, and then threw them high into the sky, over and over again...

The area where Zhang Heng woke up was the mountainous forest area in the south, about the junction of Guizhou and Chongqing, it was still some distance away from the big cities, and there were mountains and trees nearby, which was very suitable for barbarians. There are also races like elves who like barren mountains or woods, and the humidity in the vicinity is relatively high. There is often thick fog in the morning, especially in mountain forest areas. If you are not careful, you may lose your direction and become completely lost.

Wang Jun, he is the captain of the hunting team, holding a military-style rifle with three bullets left, which is enough to kill a mountain barbarian with one shot, even an ogre three or four meters high The powerful weapon of the alien race, this weapon has saved the lives of him and his teammates many times, and also hunted super-large beasts such as the man-eating bull, and made many children in the settlement survive the hungriest moment , it can be said that this weapon is the treasure of his settlement... Unfortunately, there are only three bullets left.

Wang Jun caressed the rifle in his hand, as if he was stroking his dearest lover... Yes, he is a soldier, and he is a real soldier who has entered the field army. He is not comparable to those armed police, although he has already retired. , and his age is already in his thirties. But the long-term military training, and the sudden increase in physical fitness in the past one or two years, made him look like a different kind of temperament, a sturdy temperament.

But what's the use of being tough? He is considered the strongest man in their settlements, but he can only carry about three hundred catties of rocks, while those mountain barbarians can weigh three to five hundred catties with any stone axe. Use traps, long-range bows, or guns to deal with them. Once they get close, a mountain barbarian can easily kill dozens of humans. As long as they are touched by the giant axe, their bones will be smashed to pieces. Is there still a fight there

But Wang Jun is not afraid, and neither are the rest of the settlements. Their luck is very good. When the large camp near the town was attacked by aliens, there were a total of twenty soldiers in their group, all of whom were armed with firearms. Yes, I took hundreds of people and fled to a mountain, and found a very hidden cave there. There was actually an underground river exposed in that cave, and there were many blind and eyeless fish in the underground river. , It was these fish that allowed them to survive the most difficult winter, and as time passed, they all found that the physical fitness of human beings began to get better and better, and it was only two years after the catastrophe. The physical fitness of human beings has almost doubled and tripled. What if five years later? What if ten years later

Wang Jun and the others firmly believe that one day human beings will be able to return to the world again!

It's just... before they become stronger, they need to solve the food problem.

It is not an option to stay trapped in the cave, after all, hundreds of people eat and drink, and there is no small blind fish in the small underground river, and they dare not dig tree roots and bark around the cave to eat. After all, even rabbits don’t eat grass by the side of their nests. The reason why this cave is hidden is because of the dense trees and grass nearby. If these are all dug and eaten, then once a foreign race finds their hiding place, waiting for them will be a challenge. Dead word... You can't even want to die!

So, the soldiers headed by Wang Jun, retired soldiers, and a few assisted defense, armed police, and urban management... Uh, this doesn't count. In short, these army members in the previous large camp were in charge of the entire camp. Food hunting in settlements.

Wang Jun is the captain of such a hunting team, and there are two retired members of the armed police force in his team. They all had a pistol in their hands, and there were also six young and middle-aged men with earthen bows and arrows, and six young women who were responsible for collecting plant roots, seeds, and fruits.

This is a standard hunting team in a settlement. Three army members holding hot weapons can basically deal with less than ten mountain barbarians, or less than five woodland elves, or about three or so ogres. This is the most common alien race in the nearby mountains, and the six youths with earthen bows and arrows are not only responsible for carrying food and prey, but also intimidating goblins... This green-skinned dirty alien race is far weaker than humans , but there were a lot of them. If humans were a little weak, they would eat them without bones. In the beginning, two hunting teams suffered heavy losses like this, and even lost two pistols because of it. .

Wang Jun's hunting team is also the strongest hunting team in the settlement. Wang Jun was born in a field army, with strength and skills, and his family lives nearby. The elders in the family used to be hunters in the mountains. A wild child who grew up in the mountains, he has a sense of where there is food, where traps can be placed, and where there is danger, so every time this team brings back the most food.

It's just that after they left the cave that day, they found that there was heavy fog in the entire mountain forest. This kind of environment is really an extremely dangerous environment. You must know that human beings really have no advantage in dealing with alien races at close range. Miwai couldn't see anything anymore. If it was before, Wang Jun would never agree to go hunting, because this is simply a joke with his life.

It's just... It's just that I really can't make it through.

Since the last time they hunted a rotten water wolf, their settlement has not harvested anything for four or five days. For some reason, the actions of the nearby alien races suddenly increased. Those alien races actually began to migrate to the poor mountains and rivers on this side. The alien race closest to this cave unexpectedly turned over a little more than this mountain, which caused the entire hunting team in the first two times to be wiped out, and even attracted a lot of people. A man-eating manikin patrol came to check the surroundings. Fortunately, they didn't find this cave by accident, but it also made them dare not leave the cave easily, until today...

It’s really too late, the previous few food reserves have been eaten, the bones of the rotten water wolf have been ground into powder, and some people even went outside the cave to dig grass and bark to satisfy their hunger in spite of the military ban. It was discovered later, he was tied up and smoked, he was also chewing the bark, crying and being beaten...

There are also those children who are crying from hunger. Many women who have just given birth can't even squeeze out a little milk in their breasts. They can only squeeze out traces of water and blood. One of them is an eight-year-old boy. The body was found this morning. He was so hungry that he swallowed a few small stones. The tip of the stone cut open his stomach. He died from internal bleeding, although before he died, he had always told his mother that he had a stomachache. , but the adults thought he was hungry, the middle-aged woman was crying and hugging her son today, she looked a little crazy...

Yes, they are really hungry. If they don't hunt anymore, they will all starve to death in this cave.

Wang Jun undertook this responsibility, and he decided to lead his team out hunting. Taking advantage of the thick fog, he could just avoid the alien patrols. Although it was unlikely to bring back too much food, but At least you can go to a distant place to collect some tree roots, bark, or young leaves. At least it can make everyone suffer, so he set off with the team. Before departure, the military control committee...that is, all party members, plus those who have joined the army, jointly established an organization similar to a parliament to manage the people in this cave. Hundreds of people.

It was the chairman of the military control committee, an old Red Army over eighty years old, he handed a small pocket to Wang Jun with trembling hands... In the pocket was a pack of bone powder, the powder made from the bones of the rotting wolf. Because the old Red Army was an old man, he got this small bite of bone meal, but he was reluctant to eat it, so he gave it to Wang Jun at this time.

Wang Jun wiped his tears behind everyone's back, then swallowed the bone meal into his mouth, ran to the underground river and filled his stomach with cold water, and then led the team out of the cave without looking back. He... bears the lives of hundreds of people in the entire cave!

"Boss..."

Suddenly a small voice woke him up, a young man trotted over from behind him, and whispered to him: "Captain, the fog is so thick, can you find the place?"

Looking at the thicker fog in front of him, Wang Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! It must be possible, and it must be possible. This is the task entrusted to us by the organization. It is a task that will kill hundreds of people. If we can't do it , then don’t go back, let’s die outside too!”

The young man sighed, but he still said firmly: "Yes! It will definitely work, then Captain... Do you think the yams there are ripe?"

The place the young man mentioned was a place that Wang Jun and his hunting team had discovered earlier. There were many yams still growing there. They planned to harvest them after they matured, but who knew that the situation had become so urgent now. , so I can only go there and dig them all out. These are the experiences obtained by Wang Jun and the rest of the hunting team after more than a year of observation. Those alien races seem to have some strange plant seeds, and they will also I planted it myself, but I am not very interested in most of the plants that already exist on the earth. Of course, the mountain barbarians and goblins are not counted. These two races eat everything, similar to mice.

This time their goal was the yam area, but it was already close to the edge of the mountain forest, so it was easy to be discovered by foreigners. Wang Jun estimated that some farmers planted the seeds there, and then they grew up somehow. And it has grown to other places, but it's a pity that the farmer can't find the real field where the yam is grown, or it may have been eaten up by the mountain barbarians, so the yam in this place, Wang Jun's plan is not just to eat it. , and even plans to transplant it, but it is a pity that no seeds such as rice can be found, otherwise, they can go to the more desolate mountains and forests until they can no longer meet other races.

The whole hunting team was moving forward in silence and caution. The fog in the entire woodland was getting thicker and thicker. Looking at two meters away, it was already as foggy as rice soup. In addition, it was a gloomy day today, and there was no sunshine. The fog will not dissipate until noon or even afternoon.

Fortunately, the jungle was very quiet in the morning, and Wang Jun was a man who grew up in the mountains and forests, and he had training experience in field troops. He carefully led the people all the way forward, and he did not get lost in the thick fog. As everyone was getting closer and closer to the yam field, at this moment, there was a murmuring sound in front of them. For a moment, Wang Jun leaned down fiercely, and at the same time waved down one hand at the people behind him.

The people behind Wang Jun also responded very quickly, including those few women. After more than a year of testing, those who failed to pass the test died long ago, and the rest were even smarter than those scouts in the army. .

When everyone was completely lying on the muddy ground, the murmuring voice in the distance gradually became clear. Everyone knew that it was the language of a foreign race, but they didn't know which race the foreign race in the distance belonged to. I hope it wasn't The elves, the elves are the most sensitive to sounds and smells, but they can't hear their voices. Just smelling them is enough to find them, and the mountain barbarians and ogres are all fine. This race is very stupid, as long as you don't make a sound, it is impossible to find them in such a big fog. As for the goblin race... let alone this race, it basically poses no threat.

But when everyone was praying nervously, suddenly, the voices of conversation in the distance suddenly stopped. Wang Jun panicked, and immediately shouted loudly: "Go! Run quickly!" An arrow came through the air and hit a tree next to everyone, penetrating into the tree for a distance of an inch.

The people behind Wang Jun didn't hesitate when they heard the words, they got up and ran towards the back. Only Wang Jun didn't move. The direction of the arrow pulled the trigger.

There was only a bang, and there was a burst of exclamation from men and women in the distance. Obviously Wang Jun's shot hit the target with great luck, and he did not panic and continued to pull the trigger, but Silently watching the front sight and aiming, quietly continue to wait.

Immediately, a burst of arrows shot non-stop from the thick fog. Twenty or thirty arrows were fired in a row. They were extremely powerful and had an extremely long range, even comparable to ordinary firearms. Behind Wang Jun, there was a continuous burst of arrows After several howls, it was obvious that someone was shot by these arrows, but someone still fled into the thick fog, and ran farther and farther. Only Wang Jun was left silently crawling there in the whole scene.

"Team members... clansmen, survive, find the yam area, please, let everyone survive..."

Wang Jun blessed him silently. His mental power was really highly concentrated, and he almost concentrated his mind on the front sight in front of him. He just stared at the thick fog in front of him, and waited quietly. A few seconds before and after, as if it had passed. Like several years, at this moment, a few black shadows in front rushed in extremely quickly, vaguely showing the extremely tall and slender figure of the elves, and seemed to be holding two swords, Wang Jun knew, This is the melee weapon of the elves, and its speed and strength are extremely sharp. He didn't dare to face it at all, so the moment the black shadow appeared, he pulled the trigger in his hand, and there was another bang immediately , the black shadow immediately collapsed.

But at this time, another black shadow behind that black shadow jumped up suddenly, and the speed was extremely fast, and the jump height was also extremely high. He actually jumped onto the treetop above Wang Jun's head, and then a The turning point fell on Wang Jun's head. From far and near, two sword lights fell straight on Wang Jun's head.

It was too late to say it, and it was only a blink of an eye. Wang Jun pulled the trigger and knocked over a person, and then the person jumped up and landed on Wang Jun's head. The sword light was getting closer and closer, and the cold feeling seemed to be overwhelming. You can feel it with your body. At the moment when the two swords touched his body, countless pictures seemed to flash in Wang Jun's mind, from childhood memories to adulthood, the situation of joining the army, the difficulty of returning to work, and then to the ghost catastrophe, alien races, etc. Appeared... In the last scene, he saw the old Red Army hand over a pack of bone meal to him. The old Red Army's face had turned blue, and he might not survive today...

"ah!"

At this moment, Wang Jun felt as if something in his body had been beaten to pieces. It was a very indescribable feeling. At this moment, it seemed that everything around him slowed down. He became dazed. The moment the swords fell, he suddenly raised his body and stomped on his feet. The whole person moved back nearly one meter, and the swords almost touched his feet and landed on the ground in front of him. On the ground, he slammed into pieces the rock he climbed on the ground just now, while Wang Jun pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand, and the last bullet, under the surprised eyes of the elf, shot directly through his head...

Three gunshots... A few young men and women running in the dense fog, they kept running forward while crying. Right in front of them, the forest has come to an end. The elves are the rulers of the forest. Once they run out of the forest, They won't come out to chase again, so... run as hard as you can! For the life that Commander Wang Jun finally bought, and for the people who are about to die in the cave, desperately...survive!

Just as they were running away desperately, more than ten seconds after the third gunshot, arrows were shot from behind, and people fell down one by one. When only the last girl in her twenties was left, she slammed She rushed out of the woods, but at this moment, an arrow shot through her calf from behind, because the forward force was too strong, she rolled directly several meters away, but this time she was really unable to move anymore Yes, she has even seen that the fog outside the woods is not so thick, and there is still a distance of tens of meters away from her, and a highway is there...

"Woo..."

An indescribable emotion erupted from the girl's heart. It was not fear of death, nor sadness, but a very sad and excited emotion. She looked at the highway and cried I got up, and then stretched out my hand, as if I wanted to touch the highway, even if I only touch it once, I have to do it before I die, please, God, if there is a God, please let me touch it before I die A touch of our own civilized building...

At this moment, as if there really is such a god in the world, who controls fate, reincarnation, and everything in the dark, a light shoots from the highway in the distance, piercing through the thick fog , penetrating the darkness, penetrating despair, this light shines directly on the girl's face, body, and heart...

The girl looked at the light stupidly, through the light, she saw...a bus! Yes, a rusty minibus that doesn’t even have doors and glass, but is still running. There are more than a dozen humans on the bus. They...they are actually wearing clean clothes. Armed with rifles and all, they looked over, they saw me...they were human!

The girl seemed to have felt that the elf behind her was aiming at her with a bow and arrow, almost killing her immediately, but when the light shone over, she heard a low roar coming from behind her, followed by a burst of The sound of footsteps running away... Are you gone? Those elves actually left? Did they escape? Or to call more elves

The girl was lying there with her hands outstretched, her mouth wide open, as if she wanted to shout something, but nothing came out of her mouth, and she could only see the bus stop abruptly, and the dozen or so people all came to a stop. Running out of the car, one of the middle-aged men looked at her and shouted loudly: "Bring the medical kit! Go get the normal saline, and use the walkie-talkie to tell the city that there are traces of elves and humans, and leave the city." It’s too close, and it needs to be wiped out as soon as possible…”

The girl only heard this, and her eyes suddenly went dark, and she passed out completely...
