The Scavengers

11:6, September 22

Halfway through the inspection, Xiao Mo couldn't bear it anymore, looked down, only to find that his feet were already blue from the cold, and when he moved his toes, it was painful and numb.

Take another breath, and instantly turn into ice slag.

Oh my god!This is the real breath into ice!

In the few minutes he was searching the engine room, the snow outside had changed from goose feather snow to blizzard, each falling snowflake was as big as a child's palm, and the speed was very fast, just for a moment, the ground and buildings outside had been covered Snow covered.

Xiao Mo bounced vigorously, and rubbed his hands again. Now even if he has the ability of repairing, he couldn't resist anymore. He took out a mercury thermometer from his bracelet and looked at it, and saw that the mercury was falling rapidly. It broke through minus 25 degrees.

No wonder it's so cold.Xiao Mo still doesn't know that the place he is in is not the coldest place, like the capital base and Zhongshan base, the temperature at this time has dropped to the limit that the mercury thermometer can measure, which is below minus 38.8 degrees.

I wonder how Xiaohong is doing outside?While Xiao Mo was worried, he quickly took out thick clothes, shoes and socks from the bracelet and put them on again—fortunately, he had already collected a lot of winter clothes and quilts when he saw the weird weather before, and he had no less than ten down jackets alone. pieces.

Looking at the little praying mantis again, there is nothing wrong with it. It is obviously beyond the scope of known science that this kind of creature can be so active at this temperature.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Mo followed the little mantis and searched all the way to the bottom of the aircraft, but found no survivors.

The little praying mantis motioned him to look out, Xiao Mo turned his head and found the long-haired woman crawling in the snow, she had climbed nearly 50 meters, but it was not known whether it was the cold or other reasons, for a while, Xiao Mo didn't watch her move .

Looking at the distinctive black straight long hair, it seems to be the healer Ah Ning?

Xiao Mo only noticed Ah Ning, but didn't notice that there was a black shadow like a stone hidden in the snow not far from Ah Ning.

Ah Ning also seemed to feel that someone was watching her, so she sat up slowly and turned to look back.

The two men made eye contact.

Ah Ning smoothed her messy long hair, and raised her hand to Xiao Mo.She didn't move because she was resisting the temptation brought by the low temperature—Shen Mian, she was trying to make the temperature in her body a little higher, so as to bring more mobility to herself.

Xiao Mo got out of the big hole, stepped on the foot-deep snow and walked to Ah Ning's side.

"Do you need my help?" Xiao Mo asked.

Ah Ning opened his mouth and let out a breath of white air.

Seeing that she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, Xiao Mo held a nail gun in one hand, and slowly placed the other on Ah Ning's forehead.

Ah Ning did not resist.

suddenly!

"Whoosh!" A black shadow not far away flew over and bit the back of Ah Ning's neck.

Xiao Mo instantly raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

"Puff puff puff!" The thing was attacked, it gave up biting Ah Ning, and turned to bite Xiao Mo's wrist.

Xiao Mo didn't want to reveal the secret of the bracelet in front of Ah Ning, so he still attacked the stone-like shadow with a nail gun.

Oops!That thing is too fast!

"Hiss!" His wrist was bitten by the opponent's sharp teeth.

"Shua!" A green shadow flashed, the stone-like monster split in two, and the internal organs fell out.

It's a little praying mantis.

But the monster wasn't completely dead yet, it seemed to have sensed something, it bit Xiao Mo's wrist tightly, desperately trying to suck his blood.

Seeing that the thing was still stuck to Xiao Mo's wrist, the little mantis was furious and swung the knife again!

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" The remaining half of the monster's body was sliced ​​off like sliced ​​noodles.

Xiao Mo grabbed the monster's head, forcefully opened its mouth, and threw it out.

The teeth of this stone-like monster were extremely sharp. Xiao Mo wiped his wrist, and the blood was wiped away. The wound had healed, leaving bloody flowers on the white snow.

The little mantis threw itself on the ground, instead of gnawing on the monster, it seemed to be absorbing bloody snowflakes instead?

"Are you okay?" Xiao Mo and Ah Ning asked in unison.

Ah Ning's lips moved slightly, as if smiling, "I'm fine."

Xiao Mo went over to pick up the half stone monster, packed it in a plastic bag and put it aside, planning to take it back and put it in a bracelet later, but unfortunately His Majesty the System was not around, so he couldn't tell him what kind of monster it was.

After a while, with trembling fingers that were about to become stiff, Ah Ning took out a delicate cigarette case from her pocket, opened it, took out one, poured out a lighter from the cigarette case, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Even with cigarettes to refresh her mind, Ah Ning still looked so lazy.

"Thank you and please let me finish this cigarette," said the woman who never seemed to be in a hurry.

Xiao Mo understood, and smiled, "You think I'm going to kill you?" No wonder she still sat there and didn't get up to move around.

Half and half, if you want to kill me, you won't save me.Ah Ning was intoxicated in the smoke of the cigarette, and said slowly: "We seem to be in a hostile relationship, although I don't want to be like this."

"Bao Yiyong is dead. He fell to his death from a high altitude. I watched him take his last breath with my own eyes."

"Well, that's unfortunate, the man has a lot in his head."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Ah Ning raised her head, "If you don't want to kill me, then I think I'll walk around and find a small base where healers are welcome and managers are more sober."

"You don't plan to go back to the capital again? With your ability, they should only welcome you after you go back."

"Don't you already have you? I used to be Bao Yiyong's confidant... Many people thought so, and some thought I was his lover. When I go back, with other healers, if anyone wants Study my ability, I will be the best victim."

Xiao Mo shook his head, "I don't plan to stay in the capital, the Zhongshan Base is my home."

"So you just went around the capital?"

"Yes."

Ah Ning laughed, laughing until her shoulders trembled.

Xiao Mo thought for a while, pretended to go back to the aircraft, actually took out a backpack containing food and emergency supplies, and a relatively thick men's down jacket from the bracelet, put it in front of Ah Ning, and finally put down a modified nail gun.

"You can shoot alone, and you can kill people if you hit a vital part within 50 meters. You can also shoot in bursts." Xiao Mo briefly taught the opponent how to use the nail gun.

Ah Ning didn't move those things, "Why?"

Xiao Mo looked at the woman's hair, eyebrows and the icy scum around her lips, picked up the plastic bag containing half a stone monster and turned around, "You are not a bad person, and your ability can save more people. Good luck!"

Ah Ning watched Xiao Mo's back until he disappeared into the aircraft. She got up, first put on the coat, then put the backpack on her back, grabbed the nail gun and smiled slightly: "...good luck."

Both the Beijing base and the Zhongshan base are very good, but unfortunately she is not a good person. Although she has never killed anyone, she has saved many evil people and demons who should have died more than a dozen times, and she has also seen many innocent and kind people with her own eyes. Killed, tortured, transformed to death.

She did not do anything, but she is no different from those "poor people" on the highway bus who watched the robbers kill and rape - she can understand those people, because she is also so weak and scared when facing Bao Yiyong and others , No matter how many thoughts there are in my mind, I will just watch because of various scruples.

She understands her situation, and she sympathizes with what happened to her, but she also deeply believes that she is guilty.

She is not afraid of death, and she knew that she deserved to die, so when Xiao Mo appeared, she could face it calmly, and if Xiao Mo let her go, then every day of her life would be for atonement.Not being afraid of death and wanting to die are two different things. If you can live, who doesn't want to live?

After letting Ah Ning go, Xiao Mo forgot about this person, and began to check the aircraft carefully. Soon, he found that the electric power was still unavailable.

This is a terrible discovery.

Xiao Mo suddenly slapped his head, scolded himself, and quickly took out the satellite phone from the bracelet.

The satellite phone was also out of power, so Xiao Mo couldn't get in touch with the Zhongshan base, the scavengers and others.

Helpless, Xiao Mo could only repair the aircraft as much as possible.

About half an hour later, Xiao Mo had finished repairing the main frame and the lower cabin of the aircraft.

"Buzz!" The little mantis suddenly flew up, facing outward, and assumed an attacking posture.

Xiao Mo was reminded by the little mantis, quickly hid in the shadows, and looked out with his head slightly.

It wasn't very dark outside. Although it was about ten o'clock in the night, the snow reflected light, and the lightning cloud in the sky also brought a certain brightness.

There are many animals approaching here.

They were not ordinary animals. Judging from their body shape and abnormal appearance, this group of animals were either mutant animals or alien aliens that had been released.

Strange, how could they approach here in an enveloping posture?

What's here?

Xiao Mo's eyes fell on the scattered human remains outside the aircraft, could it be this one?

Xiao Mo guessed right, these mutated animals and alien species all smelled the special smell of flesh and blood belonging to supernatural beings, but it was a little far away from their hunting range, and it took them a lot of time to come here.

And why there are so many gathered at once is just a chain effect caused by the food chain. When the rats and wild boars with the best sense of smell move, the animals and birds that like to prey on them also move, and then the higher-level existences follow.

In this way, more and more people follow, and after a certain range, everyone finds that there are better flesh and blood here, and they would rather give up the prey they were targeting before, and choose the corpses around the aircraft.

However, there was still one thing Xiao Mo didn't guess.These superhuman corpses are good for mutated creatures, but they won't attract so many, and this is only the first batch.

Xiao Mo suddenly smiled, if Xiaohong knew that his act of throwing garbage at random attracted so many dangers, I don’t know if he would regret it, but that guy would 100% say with a cold face, “This kind of I have already thought of the small problem, otherwise, what is the mantis ancestor doing here?

There was a commotion among the herd of alien beasts, the earth shook, and something huge was approaching here.

Is this the second batch of hunters arriving?

The alien beasts dispersed, but did not run away.

Xiao Mo stared at the huge monster and wanted to whistle, what kind of monster is that?It looks like a cow, but there are more than a dozen bone spurs growing on its back, and the head and legs of the bull are surrounded by bone spurs like armor. The most important thing is that the body weighs fifty tons, right?

etc!How did that fifty-ton monster charge over here?

Boom boom boom, the bull demon king rushed faster and faster, and lowered his head, obviously wanting to hit the aircraft.

"I'm a grandma!" Xiao Mo wasn't sure if the aircraft, which had only been repaired halfway, could withstand the monster's impact, maybe they would be knocked out?

"Little mantis, withdraw!"

The little mantis rushed out.

"Hey!"

The little mantis is the least afraid of this kind of thick-skinned and thick-skinned man. It can flexibly attack the most vulnerable parts of the opponent's body, and even directly drill into the opponent's body to wreak havoc.

"Boom!" The Bull Demon King's thick horns hit the aircraft.

The aircraft that was deeply inserted into the ground was hit and slid a long way in the snow.

Xiao Mo wanted to use the bracelet to put away the Bull Demon King, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting the little mantis. The snow was too heavy, and his eyesight was not good enough to see clearly every movement of the little mantis that flew as nimbly as lightning.

"Little mantis, come back!" Xiao Mo wanted to use the simplest method to solve this problem, and such a big bull devil, if the system recycles it, it should be able to exchange for a lot of energy crystals, right?

By the way, the system...has left him.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"

Xiao Mo was lying on the ground in the aircraft: what the hell is this place, why are there so many wild animals and monsters?Is Xiaohong safe now?

Xue Lihong is frantically rushing back. He has been picking up the parts of the aircraft that fell nearby. With these parts, Xiao Mo can greatly reduce the time for repairing the aircraft, and can also consume a little less energy.

But when he followed the swarm to a place about ten kilometers away from the aircraft to look for the last large part that fell - the part fell into a large lake, and the other side of the lake was a primeval forest!

He also saw a small town surrounded by the lake. In the past, the house prices here must have been very expensive, and most of the towns were single-family and townhouses.

The bad thing is that there are many animals wandering around in the town now, and there is no one in sight.

The small town has been submerged by the rising lake water, and many dead animals can still be seen on the water.

At first, although Xue Lihong was vigilant, she didn't do anything, thinking about hunting some food and bringing it back.

But just now, there was a roar in the forest, including near the small town. Many animals and birds seemed to sense something and ran towards the aircraft together.

Xue Lihong maximized her sense of smell, he seemed to smell the blood of his boss?

Xiao Mo's blood?Changes in mutated animals?

Xue Lihong suddenly realized a problem, turned around in fright and rushed back as fast as she could.

At this time, tens of thousands of meters above the sky, in the lightning cloud.

The system was going to despair, its attacks had almost no effect on those light spots, if they weren't teasing it - that's how it felt!I'm afraid it has already been invaded by light spots.

It can't withstand the energy intrusion of the light spots now. Once those light spots come in, it can guarantee that it will be formatted even if it doesn't explode.

what to do?How to get rid of them?

The system is desperately calculating, and it has actually found a way, that is: try to cause them to fight each other, and take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

These points of light all want it, and they are still in a stalemate. When they reach unity, it will be over.

But how to break this stalemate, so that they fight each other?

The system is waiting, crazily calculating its opportunity to escape.

At the same time, the earth is higher in the sky.

"Is it almost time for the big storm?"

"This big storm is said to wake up many monsters that have been released in advance, and it will trigger another biological mutation. We'd better wait until the big storm is completely over before going on."

"It's hard to choose. If you go down before others, you will definitely get the first chance, but you have to risk the possibility of cell mutation. Well, I decided to wait."

"I'll wait too. After the big storm, the previous maps are basically useless, and the official said that they will no longer provide new maps, saying that everything is left to the players to develop."

Some people are waiting, and naturally some people can't wait.

"I have already passed the highest enhancement, this mutation is nothing, cowards just wait to eat my fart!"

The first aircraft rushed down, followed by the second, and the third...
