Natural Disaster

Chapter 185 Blood Tide

The scene of the outpost is completely present. There is about one-fifth of the Bloodlight Plain. In addition to the huge waiting hall, there are also many earthen houses and wells. There is no need to worry about housing and drinking problems, but the food needs to be solved by yourself.

People have limited backpack space and can carry food for a few days at most.

If you don’t want to get food from the wild, humans will not be able to establish a foothold in the Plains of Bloodlight.

The cost for large groups of people to travel to and from the dawn camp is too high, and there are all scavengers called “wildband bandits” outside!

Unable to deliver food from the camp.

Liu Shuyan asked: “Is there water in the well?”

The fat man ran to pick up the tattered bucket, threw it into the well and pulled out half of it. Although there is not much water in the well, it is indeed not a dry well, but the water quality is not ideal. The red suspended solids make the water light red. The fat man picked up the bucket and took a sip, only to squirt out.

Lei Ming asked: “What’s the matter?”

“I’m pooh! What kind of stinky water is this, it’s worse than urine!”

“It’s good to have water to drink!” Lei Ming roughly counted, there are more than 30 wells, “It seems that there are a lot of monsters outside, and there are many collectors in our team. By hunting and killing monsters, we can barely solve the problem of food. ”

That being said, the situation is still difficult.

There are more than a thousand people in the entire team, even if Zhang Mu is included, fewer than 15 people have the gathering technique. It is good for a monster to collect two or three servings of food. How can this situation meet the needs? Bringing your own food can last for three days. During this period, you will continue to get food from the wild, up to two days.

There will be no food for at most a week, and at that time you must return to the camp.

Zhang Mu came out and said to everyone: “Find a place to stay and don’t go out if you’re fine. If you hear any noise, please close the doors and windows first. As far as I know, there is a natural disaster called Blood Surge on the Blood Light Plain. When it breaks out, people are out there, and there is no doubt that they will die!”

“What is a blood wave?”

“An insect plague is common in the Bloodlight Plains. I bought related materials from the library yesterday.” Lei Ming had to admire Zhang Mu. Such hidden materials can be found. “There is something called blood locusts living in this place. Don’t eat them. Grass eats only meat. The blood tide actually refers to the plague of locusts. This type of locust is not an ordinary locust, but a normal-level monster.”

Sanggou said: “Why don’t you kill tens of thousands to upgrade?”

“Blood locusts are no more than level 10 and cannot gain experience. If they are attacked by hundreds or thousands of locusts at the same time, the mage shield will not work well, and it will turn into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye. Let us destroy”

The fat man broke out a swear word: “So many? Cheating! What is the situation now, locusts can eat us?”

The camp library records very little information about the Bloodlight Plains, and Lei Ming really did his homework before he came.

Zhang Mu was very satisfied: “The creatures on the Bloodlight Plain are not easy to mess with. So hide it tightly, especially the fat guy, you have the most meat!”

“Eating fat man’s meat will not kill you!”

“Say a few words.” The lost dog kicked the fat man, “find a house.”

Zhang Mu said to Liu Shuiyan and Ye Qianqiu: “Several heads of delegation will come over and we will discuss the action plan within a few days.”

Several people chose an earthen house, and the head of the group and several elders went in for a meeting. The ground inside the house was bumpy, empty on all sides, and unfurnished.

“The environment here is worse than expected.” Zhang Mu put the map on the ground and spread it out, “No matter how much it is, let’s start directly.”

A faint light flashed in Liu Shuyan’s eyes: “This is…”

Zhang Mu explained: “A regional map of the Bloodlight Plain.”

Liu Shuiyan put the bow away and knelt down on one knee to check the map. Liu Shuyan’s eyes widened as she looked at her. The map was very detailed, and the hills and rivers were all marked, and the types and distribution of monsters were visually displayed on it. The Bloodlight Plain is really dangerous. If you explore it on your own, you don’t know how many people will lose their lives.

“Where did you get this map?”

“This is not the point. Our manpower is far from enough, and it’s not enough to be lower than alien attacks. The most important thing is to stand firm and persuade more mercenaries to come over.”

“What do you want to do?” When Liu Shuiyan lowered her head, she suddenly noticed a faint light in the neckline. She hurriedly covered her chest. Seeing that Zhang Mu hadn’t noticed, she immediately said: “The cowards are not easy to convince.”

Zhang Mu said: “Benefits, benefits can make people crazy. The best way is to capture a secret killing realm, then record a video, and post it to the forum, so that everyone can see the harvest of the secret killing realm.”

Liu Shuyan asked with frowned eyebrows: “Are you sure?”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Zhang Mu pointed to the map and said: “The nearest small secret realm has three fallen mage castles, the city of blood corpses, and the monster forest. It can be reached by train directly. The limit of the small secret realm is 10-20 people. Without the participation of foreign races, we might as well give it a try.”

Cheng Bo scratched his head: “Which one is suitable?”

Zhang Mu pretended to be embarrassed: “Because of the lack of intelligence, it is impossible to accurately judge. However, the mage castle that fell from the secret realm name performs its mission in a castle, while the city of blood corpses and the monster forest are in a city and a forest respectively. The former has a smaller map and is easier to explore. It will probably be simpler. You might as well start with the fallen mage castle.”

“The biggest problem we face is the scavengers outside. The scavengers are watching. It is difficult for our mercenaries to go out hunting smoothly. People who come from here are also vulnerable to ambushes.”

Ye Qianqiu snorted, “Why don’t you find it out and take it all in one pot?”

“The scavengers do not have a fixed settlement, and it is impossible to live together. If a group of scavengers is attacked, the other scavengers will definitely support them. There are not many of them. With more than 1,000 of us, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”

“Then what to do?”

Lei Ming suggested: “We can send elite assassins and killers to assassinate the lone scavengers. After all, scavengers are intelligent races. When they find that members near the outpost have been assassinated in large numbers, they will definitely withdraw the nearby forces and win first. There is a certain living space to ensure that there will be food supply for a few days, and when the people in the camp come over, when there is enough strength, it is considered to completely eliminate the scavengers.”

“You can try.” Zhang Mu nodded, “Then let Scorpion and Wang Ling organize a team of assassins and assassins to start their actions tonight.”

Several people are discussing plans for the next few days.

A harsh alarm sounded outside.

“What happened again?”

Zhang Mu pushed the door and went out to check, a dull voice of a guard robot came from the loudspeaker: “Warning! Blood is approaching!”

“Is there any mistake! Just said the blood wave, the blood wave arrived?” Zhang Mu knew that similar natural disasters occurred frequently on the Blood Light Plain, and didn’t want to hit him so quickly, and immediately shouted: “Everyone, hide in the house. Close the doors and windows!”

There was a buzzing sound in the distance. It was an insect-like creature. The sound made by flapping its wings at high speed was more like shutting 100 million mosquitoes and people in the same small closet. The ears were full of buzzing sounds, which made people feel weak.

Zhang Mu shouted with all his strength, the buzzing outside was too loud, almost overshadowing his voice.

Zhang Mucai hid in the room, and the sky was obviously darkened. The entire outpost was shrouded in red shadows, and the whole world was filled with locust swarms. Although I can’t see the outside with my own eyes, I can feel the scene outside.

Suddenly an old broken brick on the roof was smashed to pieces, revealing a small vacancy.

Zhang Mu’s face suddenly changed: “Block it!”

Thundering lifted the shield to stop the leak. Hundreds of locusts rushed in from the gap, and the gap quickly became the size of a head. Blood locusts are called locusts. In fact, the difference is very big. Blood locusts are only smaller than slaps. They are blood-red all over, with forelimbs like sharp small sickles. They have chewing mouthparts and can easily chew rocks.

Cheng Bo took out a talisman and slapped his hand on the gap, turning it into a blue enchantment to seal the gap. Thunder took the opportunity to climb up the house and blocked it with a shield to prevent more locusts from coming in. Several people had blood locusts on their bodies. Zhang Mu felt that a few pieces of meat had been bitten off from his neck and face. Thunder was entangled by dozens of blood locusts. , But even after using the toughened skin, it can resist for a while.

Zhang Mu drew out his two swords, and the sharp blue sword light flashed across. The blood locusts were chopped by volley one by one. Wang Ling threw out a large number of flying needles and ordered dozens of locusts to death. The locusts in the house were finally cleared.

The faces of several people were bitten with blood, and I couldn’t believe it. The weak insects were so brutal and bloodthirsty.

The blood wave lasted more than ten minutes before it passed. There was a stench in the air. On the ground and on the roof, there were a lot of blood locusts left behind by the blood wave. When they saw the creatures, they immediately rushed up fiercely, but the number was not large and could not treat people. create a threat.

22 people died in this blood wave, mostly because the doors and windows were not closed properly, or there were loopholes in the house, which allowed large swarms of blood locusts to swarm in. Most of the deceased’s armor was intact, but all the flesh of the body was eaten out, and the state of death was very miserable.

Liu Shuiyan was bitten in the neck for several times, blood stained red breastplate, full of double peaks accompanied by breathing, not only ups and downs, but the willow eyebrows were staggered with anger. Among the dead, there were many women who were mercenary.

“We should be grateful that we encountered a blood wave at the station, not in the wild!” Zhang Mu squashed a blood locust, looked up at the red sky and said: “Once the blood wave has passed, it will be difficult to find food nearby. Our plan must be accelerated. Challenge the fallen mage castle!”

The blood tide will clear the nearby creatures, and the mercenaries will be stagnated for up to three days, otherwise they will face a lack of food.

Zhang Mu intends to seize the time to challenge the fallen mage castle. This is the only secret he is familiar with in the blood plains. Although the difficulty is not low, with his experience and strong team, it should not be difficult to pass smoothly. Because of the blood flow, there is no need to worry about foreign races coming over. Other mercenaries can ambush scavengers near the station when Zhang Mu leads the team immediately.

If the number of scavengers can be reduced, the environmental pressure on the station will be relatively screaming.
