Chapter 597 This time we really traveled lightly
“So, there are no traces of monsters around, right? Then we can rest assured.”
Ms. Duda smiled at the two A hunter expressed his gratitude, "Come and have a rest. Dinner is ready. Although it is not a big meal, it is still hot food, which is better than dry food."
Dinner is dry bread and stew. , a large amount of food, and an orange for each person.
In the ruins deep in the desert, it is very satisfying to be able to eat such food.
While eating, Gordon said to Ms. Duda: "This place has been deserted for decades. A large number of hunters came in a while ago and it was too lively. It is normal for no monsters to come.
But you are here If you stay for a long time, the smell of people will sooner or later attract monsters from the surrounding area, especially small monsters like Huang Velociraptor that like to wander around. .
Anhil and I need to explore the entire ancient village in depth. We cannot stay at the city wall camp all the time. It is best to contact Longliyuan and ask them to send some hunters over as guards to prevent it. Just in case."
Ms. Duda's expression became serious. She nodded, thanked her, and hurriedly got up and left to prepare the letter.
Obviously he is also a resolute person.
After filling his stomach, Gordon called Ancil, Pork Chop, and Gale together.
Liefeng probably wouldn't understand the discussion about the exploration process, but considering the cultivation of a sense of teamwork, Gordon didn't abandon it.
If you don’t understand, just squat down next to An Xil and stick out your tongue.
“This is the map given to us by the chief researcher.”
Gordon unfolded a dark and yellow paper roll and showed it to everyone, “He obtained it from the archaeological team decades ago. The content found in the files left behind should be relatively detailed, that is"
"You just can't see anything clearly, right?" Ancier answered angrily: "What's the difference between this and not having a map?"
"It looks like it has been dyed with water, and the ink stains are all It’s melted, meow.”
Gale Wind also sniffed around the map that was in extremely poor condition.
“Isn’t there a clearer map?” Ancier sighed and complained.
Gordon shrugged, "No, I heard that the group of hunters stationed at the ancient wall had roughly explored the ruins, but unfortunately nothing was found.
At that time, everyone was focused on strengthening the city walls and preparing for battle, and no one had the time to draw a map for this ruins. ”
“Yes. "
Anhil pulled Gale's cheek and pulled it back - this guy was about to eat the map.
"Speaking of which, don't you two think that this Is the situation a bit familiar? "
"It's a bit meow. That's what Lan Long was like that time. He was given a simple map and the rest was all done by himself. "Pig Chop scratched his beard.
"It's still different."
Gordon smiled and said: "At least I'm not so nervous this time. Judging from the previous appearance of the mechanical behemoth, that guy's aggressiveness wasn't too great.
Even if they encounter it, they can retreat smoothly. It shouldn’t be a big problem, there’s no need to confront it head-on.
After all, our goal is just to explore the ruins of the ancient village. As long as we can find something valuable, it will be considered a victory.”
"It would be great if it could go so smoothly."
"Why are you always so negative?"
"Considering the worst-case scenario, this is the necessary caution."
After a few words, the two returned to the topic. itself.
"Although I can't see the details clearly, I can at least get a general idea."
Gordon gently flattened out the fragile map, "I'll lay out the ruins of the ancient village. It is roughly divided into several areas.
The first is the outermost perimeter, which is the outer city wall where we are currently stationed, and the flat sandy land outside the city wall.
There is nothing to explore in this part. It was scouted yesterday. The hunter team stationed at the ruins of the ancient village previously had its main activity area here. If there was anything abnormal, it should have been discovered long ago.
The only thing worth noting is the sand pit outside the city wall, which is where the mechanical beast sneaks into the ground. I suspect that there is something different under that sand, or even under the ruins of the entire ancient village. "
"Why do you say that? "Anhil asked.
Gordon looked up and smiled, "A super giant monster similar in size to Laoshanlong has penetrated into the ground, but there is not even a bulge on the surface. ”
Anhil's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he continued: "It means there is probably a quite large space underground."
"Yes, I haven't figured out how to enter the underground yet, let's continue looking at the map. "Gordon patted the map and continued:
"On the inside of the city wall is a series of buildings, which gives people the feeling that this place It used to be like a small city, but it's a bit weird to build the city directly into the fortress.
This area has complex terrain and many buildings, so be careful when exploring.
After the building complex, we will come to the core part of the ruins, the castle.”
Gordon pointed his finger at the nearly circular area in the center of the map, "This castle is relatively well preserved and is a fortress in itself.
According to the hunters who had previously stationed at the ancient village, they roughly reconnoitred After passing here, there is nothing special in the castle, and there are no monsters.
Let me tell you what I think, it may be true. It’s nothing, it’s possible that they didn’t search carefully enough. Then we’ll explore the inside and outside more carefully.”
“Well, the outer city wall, the building complex, and the core castle are three parts. Peel, pulp, and core, layer by layer.
We’ll start exploring the building complex tomorrow, right?" Anhil concluded.
"Yes, this area actually has the largest area and the most complex terrain. If you carefully explore it, it may take two to three days."
"The terrain is complex and the terrain is large. What?"
Anhilsi After searching for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I plan to pack lightly. A basic ammunition belt is enough. For other props, just bring a small amount of flash bombs and sonic bombs. Bring more food and cold drinks."
< br>"Woof?" Liefeng raised his big head.
Gordon and Pork Chop also looked at Ancier with expressions like they had seen a ghost.
According to the latter's habit, carrying two basic ammunitions with him is considered the "minimum" preparation. I have never heard of him carrying only one basic ammunition.
“What?”
Anhil stared back, “I usually carry more ammunition just in case, and it’s not something I like to carry.
Since this The purpose of this time is not to fight, and monsters of 60 to 70 meters level are not something we can deal with through combat. Naturally, there is no need to carry too many.
It will also become a burden when preparing to retreat in an unexpected situation. ”
Gordon chuckled, "Even for this reason, with your style, shouldn't you carry three or five bases of it, and discard it on the spot when there is a real emergency and you need to retreat quickly?"
“.It makes sense, so let’s do it.”
“Waste That's shameful, meow!"
"Okay, okay, let it go, our eldest master is good at this." Gordon clapped his hands and called his companions' attention, "Come on, let's discuss it first. , where to start the first step of exploration."
The hunters set out early the next morning.
The idea of carrying more ammunition and throwing it away at any time is a joke after all. This time, Ancier was traveling light and simple in the true sense.
On his own body, on the body of the former cow horse Gordon, and on the body of the current cow horse Liefeng, there are no obvious external packages.
Ge Feng always bounces when he walks, as if there are springs under his feet, so relaxed that he is not used to it.
Seeing Li Feng opening his mouth and about to let out an excited bark, Pig Chop, who was riding on its neck, patted it twice to signal it to stay quiet.
Although this exploration of ancient ruins is not as dangerous or as stealthy as the previous reconnaissance of Lingfeng, it is always right to keep the movement as small as possible.
Gordon looked around, pointed to a half-collapsed house and said: "Let's start here." (End of Chapter)
