Chapter 5663 Trekking in the darkness!
Following the team of white-robed men, walking slowly on the snow, the lost people who were eliminated felt extremely complicated.
They don’t know what their future and fate will be, so they can only walk silently like a herd of sheep being driven away.
I just hope that when I reach the end, what is waiting for me is not a cold butcher knife.
The lost people became increasingly confused about the people in white robes around them, and doubts in their minds kept emerging.
Who are this group of people and what is their purpose? Why do they specifically select the old, weak, sick and disabled?
Is it because you have mercy and deliberately save them from suffering?
They were more curious about what method the man in white robe used to effectively drive away the flying monster.
The leaders of the gathering place may be more curious and can’t wait to find out.
Looking at the equipment of the man in white robes and the huge slowly moving vehicles, each of them is not something that ordinary lost people can possess.
Having extraordinary means, but just to get a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, this kind of behavior is really difficult for people to understand.
With various ideas in mind, everyone walked forward and unknowingly came to a gathering place.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the front of the vehicle and landed on the observation post at the gathering place.
Such a dazzling light made the lost people watching panic, fearing that more monsters would be attracted.
I am even more afraid that this light will cause misunderstandings in the opposite gathering place, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
The lost people in the polar night period are very sensitive and suspicious. If they suspect that a certain target threatens the gathering place, they will attack without hesitation.
In some gathering places, powerful defensive weapons will be deployed to deal with enemies trying to attack.
For example, the heavy bed crossbow can shoot three heavy spears and easily penetrate the earth wall.
A team without protection standing directly at the door of the gathering place can be killed like a target.
Looking at the equipment of the white-robed men, it is obvious that they are very sophisticated. How could they make such a stupid mistake?
What should they do if war breaks out?
I felt uneasy and even made plans to escape. If the situation went bad, I would rush to the ruins on the roadside.
If you are lucky enough and avoid the flying monster, you have a certain chance of surviving.
What happened next left the lost people stunned.
While the light was shining, someone shouted directly, asking the gathering place opposite to hand over hundreds of lost people.
At the same time, tell the other party that it is suitable for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and is willing to pay for a storage ring.
The anxious lost people suddenly realized at this moment that they knew the reason why they were eliminated.
While I was frightened and angry, I was also becoming more and more confused, wondering what the purpose of this move was?
Using a piece of storage equipment in exchange for a large group of useless people is really a loss-making business.
No wonder the leader of the gathering place agreed so simply, because such a transaction was a guaranteed profit.
After clearing away cumbersome hidden dangers, you can obtain storage equipment and resolve a crisis.
This is killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?
Some of the lost people vaguely guessed the identity of the man in white robe, but there was no way to confirm it.
As they thought, no gathering place would reject this kind of transaction.
Less than half an hour later, the door of the silent gathering place was opened, and then one after another staggering figures came out.
You can tell by looking at their body shape and posture that they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, the same discarded people as themselves.
Their steps were sluggish, their faces full of despair and hesitation, as if they were walking toward death step by step.
Such a scene is very similar to their previous appearance.
A group of unlucky guys who were eliminated walked to the center of the team, flanked by men in white robes holding swords and guns.
Someone took a wooden stick, picked up a storage ring, and inserted it into the snowdrift at the entrance of the gathering place.
"Let's go!"
With the order, the team continued to move forward.
Another wave of lost people joined, making the team gradually bloated and attracting more flying monsters.
During this period, there were several flying monsters, perhaps crazy with hunger, that ignored the sound waves and rushed towards the team.
When the lost people looked terrified and tried to dodge, the six-barreled machine gun on the tank sprayed flames. The monster that rushed to the ground was torn apart in an instant, with blood and flesh splattered all over its head and face.
Some lost people who were so hungry that they grabbed the internal organs of minced meat, stuffed them into their mouths and chewed them.
Although the Lost know that eating monster flesh can easily lead to madness, they are still willing to accept such a risk compared to starving to death.
Compared to starving to death directly, it takes a while for the symptoms of madness to appear, at least you can live longer.
Lao Mao and others did not stop the lost person's behavior, but just followed the vehicle silently.
After passing through several more streets, Tang Zhen chose a building and asked everyone to enter it to camp and rest.
Walking in the polar night environment will cause serious physical exertion. Not to mention a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, even able-bodied people can't bear it.
The ruins of this building have remaining walls on four sides, which can provide a certain protective effect.
When the vehicle drove in, it startled a group of flying monsters and made angry and strange screams.
The sharp-eyed lost people discovered that there were a large number of spiritual stones and boxes piled up in the ruins of the building, shining in the dark environment.
Apparently this ruin was used as a nest by flying monsters.
The vehicle stopped in the center of the ruins, and people gathered around the vehicle.
The two chefs started cooking. They first directed a few lost people to clear the snow and obtained a flat place.
With a gentle wipe of the hand, a large pot and stove was taken out. It was shiny with a rag and there was no trace of dust on the surface.
Seeing this pot and stove, the chef looked fond of it, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
This is a spiritual stone pot stove that Tang Zhen personally refined for outdoor marching and was specially distributed to the chefs in the gathering place.
Refining such a magic weapon is obviously to prepare for a long journey.
Food is their first priority, especially for the lost. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they dare to do anything.
In order to ensure the quality of logistics, Tang Zhen not only refined the magical pot and stove, but also specially equipped the chef with a storage ring.
There are various tools and a large number of ingredients placed for cooking and dining in the wild at any time.
Such benefits are simply not available anywhere else.
The leaders of the gathering place who longed for the storage ring but didn't get it didn't know how they would feel when they found out about this.
Seeing the chef’s operations, many lost people’s eyes widened with expressions of surprise and envy on their faces.
This was the first time they had seen the use of storage equipment. Needless to say, they were shocked.
They knew very well that this team only used one storage ring to acquire more than a hundred lost people.
Various previous rumors have proven that storage equipment is expensive and is a rare and rare item.
As a chef, he actually has such equipment. How powerful must the top management of the gathering place be?
While the onlookers were secretly amazed and envious of the storage equipment, the chef had already shoveled the snow into the pot and opened the rune circle.
In just one minute, the snow in the pot began to melt at a surprisingly fast speed.
The two chefs were not idle, and took out a tightly sealed bag from the storage ring.
After opening the bag, he poured it into the big pot and started cooking it over high heat.
Plant tubers, dried mushrooms, dehydrated vegetables, as well as dried insects and mice.
Not long after, a strong aroma spread, making a group of lost people salivate.
During the cooking process, a chef took out the ceramic bottle and poured in half a bottle of red powder.
Fix the sealed pot lid and simmer over high heat for ten minutes, and then the chef calls to start the meal.
A box of bowls and spoons was taken out by the chef, and everyone who ate would get a set.
The lost people who had been waiting for a long time finally tasted a mouthful of fresh and thick hot soup, and they were amazed by the delicious taste.
Oddly enough, after drinking this sip of soup, my body immediately felt warm, and a trace of strength emerged from my body.
The biting cold has also eased a lot at this moment, making people feel very comfortable.
