Wasteland: Hunting the wasteland with a max-level account

Chapter 12 Visit Manglin again ③

When the two arrived, the gathering on the north side of the orchard had already been completed.

Everyone was dejected, and it was clear at first glance that they had gained nothing.

There was only one person who looked excited, and that was Pan Zi who discovered the abnormality. He was gesticulating and describing the process of discovering the abnormality. He kept spitting saliva from his mouth, and even his dark face was glowing red.

A few leaders frowned around him and listened to the report, while others walked around curiously, looking for clues.

Hua Xiaoqin and Aunt Archer squeezed in.

I saw only a trace of human beings making a fire and camping in a piece of rotten wood. But the traces were very light. It seemed that the group of people ran away without staying long, and had been running for several days. There were also many footprints of animals exploring the site.

In the bonfire pit, there are mango branches.

There are also many branches that have been cut to about the same size and piled beside the bonfire pit. It must have taken a lot of effort.

Others didn't know it, but Hua Xiaoqin knew very well that there were a lot of poisonous crystals left in the trunks and branches. If they dared to burn them, they would definitely kill people.

Gao Qing and the others were talking in low voices around the campfire. Hua Xiaoqin looked at them with anxious faces, but had no intention of telling them any clues.

Who made this group of people ignore her feelings and treat her as a servant!
  Let them figure it out on their own!

She pretended to sit down and rest again, blocking other people's sight with her body, and reached out to touch the branches and trunks next to the campfire, just like other people who were checking the situation. Most of the people at the scene had already finished checking, and those who were not checking were gathering together to keep warm. No one noticed that there were some more crystals in the small test tube in Hua Xiaoqin's palm...

The team leaders couldn't draw any decent conclusions. The only thing they knew was that this place was very dangerous and the reason was unknown. Right now we can only end the collection early and start returning.

Everyone was very happy, and no matter how hard they tried to hide it, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces. Pan Zi was also enthusiastically praised in the team. If he hadn't discovered this trace, everyone would not know how long they would have stayed in this dangerous forest.

Pan Zi was more excited than ever before, bragging about the discovery process to the people around him...

Hua Xiaoqin felt annoyed after hearing this, so she had to quietly ask Aunt Archer what was going on.

Aunt Archer told her that these were traces of wild people camping outside the shelter. Although they don't know why the other party retreated, the survivability of the savages is much higher than that of the people in the shelter. Since even the savages can't bear to escape, they should leave early to avoid sacrificing the lives of their brothers in vain.

This reason is very good, and the leaders above must have no choice but to keep their mouths shut if they want to criticize harshly.

"So that's it!" Hua Xiaoqin suddenly realized, feeling like she had learned another trick.

In the past, in school, everyone would put off the tasks assigned by the teacher, but they still had to do them, which was very annoying. Unexpectedly, it turns out that adults also like to be lazy, and the reasons are high-sounding.

She asked herself that she didn't have this ability, so she should learn more from the team leaders.

……

Not long after everyone left, two heads popped out of the nearby bushes.

Their skin was mottled, and their bodies were covered with weeds to hide their figures. Their noses were red from the cold, but their eyes had vertical pupils. At first glance, they thought they were cold-blooded animals.

They continued to observe carefully for a while, and found that the hunting team really didn't look back, and then ran into the mango grove. First, they walked around the campfire pit. One of them kept twitching his nose, carefully identifying the smell in the air, while the other person stared nervously around to serve as a sentry for him.

After a while, the man who had had enough of smelling made a sign. The other person nodded seriously.

This pile of firewood has been touched, but the problem is not serious. Take it away quickly.

Row.

The two of them ran to the bushes and pulled out a cart. The cart was well made and made of decent materials, but it had been specially decorated and easily blended into the environment. Even if they throw the cart away, it will probably be ignored. The two of them started to move the wood onto the cart together.

Not only were all the tree trunks that Hua Xiaoqin had touched removed, but many surrounding tree trunks were also removed. As long as they were the right size, they were moved by the two of them. The tree trunks on the cart are tied with strong straw ropes and stacked neatly to ensure that they will not fall on the road.

This will be their weapon for guarding homes and homes in the future.

That day, their people came to collect firewood for the winter. Unexpectedly, as soon as the thing was burned, it began to emit highly toxic black smoke, and the people around the campfire were instantly poisoned. Those downwind were quickly brought down. Only the people on guard outside escaped and took precautions to put out the fire, and then their companions were rescued.

After they went back and rested for a few days, they came to the conclusion that the mango branches and trunks were still highly toxic even after they died.

This is both a disadvantage and an advantage.

The disadvantage is that it cannot be used as ordinary firewood, but it can also be used as a weapon in the hand.

Ignite the black smoke of the poisonous wood and blow the wind outside, and any beast that comes to attack you will have a good time. Moreover, those superior people did not seem to have discovered this secret and did not pick up any poisonous wood. They had to act as soon as possible.

Things are going to change soon, so take as much as you can.

At this moment, loud birdsong sounded in the sky.

Then came a beautiful swallow with purple and black feathers. Its song was so penetrating that it could be heard for several kilometers.

The two of them immediately jumped into the grass to hide. Fortunately, they were covered and the mutant swallow did not notice them.

But when they looked at each other, they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Swallows are migratory birds that roost in the south every winter. Even mutant swallows are no exception.

But this swallow was stimulated by something, and it cried for no reason...

Before the two of them could figure out the reason, they heard the sound of "plop la la", and countless birds flew in the woods around the town. Looking at it, most of them were swallows, and there were also a few sparrows, mynas, crows, Wild geese and the like.

These birds seemed to have received the signal, and they all hurriedly flew towards the first swallow.

That's...the South?
  What are the mutated swallows warning?
  These birds were so frightened that they abandoned their nests and young birds and fled south without their lives...

……

The hunting team also discovered strange movements in the distance.

The flock of birds is mixed and huge in number, and at first glance, they are all mutated birds, some are huge in size, and some have strange feather colors.

"Cover! Cover!" Li Shulan screamed.

You must know that the common mutated birds around the refuge are not social animals, and they will not cause trouble to humans casually. Humans have guns and crossbows, so they are difficult to capture.

But the large mutant birds are more courageous, and some of them will definitely want to change their taste and taste human flesh.

Before anyone could react, mutated birds had already spotted the hunting team. Sure enough, a few of them flew out, and the one that swooped down was an eagle, its two talons reflecting the silvery luster.

　The weather is so cold that I have to modify my socks to wear them on my injured feet.

　　Sisters who like it, please help me add it to your favorites! !
