Chapter 17: Beast tide

Views:

A few days later, Yunying had the stitches removed, and it is estimated that he will fully recover after three to five days of recuperation.

This period of recuperation is the most comfortable time. Not only does Yunying not need to be used as a sandbag for training like before, but he lies down and rests every day, and eats meat for three meals a day. After a few days, he has become much stronger.

After living like this for a few days, Yunying hopes to heal a little slower.

After waking up from a serious injury, all parties have made a lot of progress. Yunying didn't feel the rapid improvement. Maybe what he dreamed that day was a dream after all. Yunying didn't care too much about it, so he casually left it behind .

the fifth day.

Yunying basically recovered from his injury.

Mantis called him to help.

In Mantis's studio, the table is full of soaked specimens, and test tube racks filled with test tubes of different sizes and liquids, and all kinds of simple and rough tools, which are commonplace for him.

Yunying brought out a newly transported corpse and put it on the dissecting table. It was a young female corpse. It was estimated that she had not been dead for a long time. Judging from her skinny appearance, she probably died of starvation. Such a corpse Everywhere.

"Mantis, what are you going to study today?" Yun Ying took the clip and knife and was ready to do it: "Heart, liver, lungs, or something else!"

Although the injury has not healed, it is more than enough to do this job.

Mantis's bloody hands just stick out from the belly of a guy who has been disemboweled. If Yunying is a newcomer, he might not be used to it. Now that he has stayed in the regiment for more than a month, he can do this kind of thing himself. I've done it many times, so I don't feel any discomfort.

There are three captains of Huangquan mercenaries.

The praying mantis is one of the most unpredictable.

Mantis is very educated and knowledgeable. He can extract and mix potions that can heal injuries from messy mutated plants. It is all because of Mantis that Yunying can heal his injuries so quickly, so Yunying admires him very much.

Yunying has never seen a mantis do anything.

But even if Mantis only relies on his medical skills, he is not afraid of running out of food in this day and age.

"hang up."

When Yunying heard the instructions from the mantis, he was slightly taken aback. This guy won't be doing some strange experiments again, right? But there was no nonsense, he immediately tied the corpse's arms and hung the corpse up.

Mantis suddenly took out a silver revolver and placed it on the table.

When Yunying saw this revolver, he couldn't help being stunned. Yunying snatched the revolver from Red Nose, but after Yunying passed out, the gun disappeared. Yunying thought it was confiscated by the cunning fox. It was an expensive item, and it was a waste for a rookie like Yunying to hold it.

"Fuck, isn't this my gun? So you took it away!"

Yunying is responsible for all chores in the mercenary regiment, including maintenance of firearms, so he is basically no stranger to firearms.

Mantis took out an orange bullet and placed it on the table.

Yunying was a little dazed.

Mantis pushed his glasses, the lens was shining coldly, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly. He pointed at the corpse hanging in front of him, and said in his usual cold tone, "Shoot at it as quickly as possible."

"Isn't that bad?"

Of course, Yunying didn't have the ridiculous idea of being disrespectful to the corpse.

What he was thinking about was how much bullets would be wasted by shooting people to death!

"Do it!"

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the mantis gourd, but since he insists on doing so, there is nothing he can do about it. This ice cube face has always been the same, not to mention the taste of live ammunition, which Yunying has always wanted to experience.

Pick up the pistol, put out the bullet nest, stuff the bullets in, turn it lightly, and the bullet nest returns to its place.

Yun Ying didn't have any experience in spear skills, but for some reason, he felt extremely proficient, just when he was about to raise the gun and was about to pull the trigger.

A ray of cold light streaked across the air and shot at his face.

thump!

It was a long, narrow and cold scalpel, inserted into the eyebrows of the corpse with incomparable precision, even if measured by the most accurate ruler, this was definitely the exact center position, without any deviation, the blade completely pierced in.

Yunying felt that his masseter muscles seemed to lose strength, and his entire jaw dropped involuntarily, his eyes were staring in disbelief.

"Draw the gun, reload, and shoot. It took you four seconds. I could cut your throat in one-third of a second."

This is the first time I have seen Mantis make a move.

Yunying didn't expect Mantis to be so powerful!

"Remember, the more complex, sophisticated, and advanced a weapon is, the more dangerous it is for the user. If you rely on it, you will not be far from death. Really useful weapons can be found everywhere, and are simple and easy to use. Take it, simple and quick, a truly excellent killer, even plants and trees can kill."

Having known each other for more than a month, Mantis has a character that cherishes words like gold, and has never said so much in one breath. Yunying has a feeling of getting to know each other again.

He is a highly skilled doctor, he is a strange scientist who likes to disembowel corpses to find mutated tissues, and he is also a magical pharmacist who can extract medicines from mutated plants, but now it seems that these are just side jobs!

The cunning fox is a shooter, the mad dog is a fighter, and the praying mantis is a killer.

Praying mantis may not be more evolved than cunning fox and mad dog, but the killer is not necessarily the strongest, but definitely the most dangerous. Yun Ying would rather provoke a madman like mad dog, or even an insidious guy like cunning fox. He would not be willing to provoke a poisonous snake like a praying mantis!

Yunying made a knife throwing movement: "How can I practice like you?"

"Your work is over, let's go." Mantis is self-serving to clean up: "Hold your gun!"

Yunying was a little upset at first, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he almost jumped up excitedly. This guy looks cold, but in fact he is still an enthusiastic person. Not only did he keep the weapon for so many days and return it to Yunying, but he also taught Yunying a lesson.

In the wilderness, guns and bullets are considered hard currency, and they can always be exchanged for some food at any time.

Yunying was afraid that the mantis would regret it, so he took the gun and left immediately.

The mantis fiddled with the corpse on its own, without any change in expression from the beginning to the end.

When he returned to the hut, he took out the pistol, and he stroked it several times with excitement, as if he was touching a lover's hand. He had never felt so excited before.

Yunying knew in his heart that compared to firearms, bullets were the most expensive consumption. Most of the mercenaries didn't use firearms because the bullets were too expensive. Every catty of fresh mutated animal meat was only exchanged for ten pistol bullets. Unless they were top-notch experts like Cunning Fox, most people didn't like to use guns due to economic considerations.

Anyway.

This is Yunying's first valuable property.

Yunying was lying on the bed with the gun beside him. Even with only one bullet, he felt a little more secure in his heart. Now everything is going in a good direction.

Yunying let out a long sigh of relief.

He was just about to blow out the candles and go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, several very loud and urgent voices suddenly echoed over the camp.

The tranquility shrouded in the night was torn apart, Yunying had never heard such a sound, it was like a big bell striking, loud and long, so sudden and resounding, it made people feel a little uneasy.

Yunying didn't know what happened.

However, after living in the camp for more than a month, he was no longer as reckless as before. He just carefully opened the door to observe, and did not rush out rashly.

It seemed that the Black Flag camp had become very chaotic. Many people with torches were running around, and countless people screamed and rioted.

Yun Ying vaguely heard a shrill and frightening cry.

"Beast tide!"

"The tide of beasts is coming!"

Yunying has been in the camp for more than a month, and he is very clear about the concept of beast swarms. Immediately, a chill poured into the pores of his body, and uncontrollable fear quickly took root in his heart... Oops!

The wooden door kicked open suddenly.

Three camp guards rushed in and came up to arrest him without saying a word.

"What are you doing?"

"The tide of beasts is coming, men must join the battle, those who are afraid of fighting, die!"

The entire camp was in chaos, and the camp guards arrested people everywhere. As long as they were men, they were driven out like ducks to form temporary teams.

Yunying had no chance to explain, and the explanation was useless. As an important combat force, the Huangquan mercenaries would definitely go nowhere safer than here. He was sent to a team of more than 200 people.

There was a rattling sound.

A camp guard wearing steel armor came over. He was covered with at least two or three layers of leather or armor, and he was wearing a half-face breathing mask. When other camp guards saw him, they stood aside one after another. This well-equipped young man Obviously the leader, "I'm Captain Ryan, a member of the Black Flag camp elite regiment, and I'm in charge of your defense this time."

Captain Ryan had a hard time pronouncing each syllable, as if a wrench was thrown into a rolling gear. There was a deep scar on his neck, which was probably caused by the injury to the vocal cords.

"Now a large group of mutant beasts are about to attack the camp!"

"All pick up weapons for me, guard the camp, and fight bloody to the end!"

Captain Ryan's hoarse voice was like a low-pitched night owl, which also made people shudder.
