Chapter 38 Attack and Kill (1)
Xu Lang is a master of tracking zombies in the wild.
With the qualifications to be a mercenary, Xu Lang is the oldest here. He survived in the wild with other mercenaries at the age of sixteen. He relied on his own to master a lot of skills, and tracking the whereabouts of some mutants is one of them.
Even Hong Yi admired this very much.
The four cars soon tracked a group of corpses 60 kilometers away from the gathering place.
This group of zombies is not large in size, with only about fifty heads, which is a very suitable target. Xu Lang and Liu Jia are both old mercenaries and have a good idea of how to capture zombies alive. They use special metal poles, three people, to cover the neck of the zombies in groups, and can completely restrain the zombies' actions from three directions and throw them into the cage.
To be honest, it is much more difficult to capture a mutant alive than to kill it directly, because during the process of catching a zombie, you must beware of other zombies. If one is not done well, either it will be a loss on your own side, or it will be a rise of killing and will wipe out the zombies.
In either case, they are not willing to see it.
So Xu Lang and his team used a very good method, which was to use some methods to interfere with the senses of the zombies. The lowest-level variant of the zombies has been thoroughly studied by humans. Their hearing and smell are the most sensitive. They basically rely on these two perception abilities to discover prey. In addition, their vision is also some of them, and they can see things at close range.
So to interfere with them, we must start from these three aspects.
The dust rolled up by the car tires, the broken iron cans and iron basins tied with iron chains behind the car, and the corpse powder that can cover up the human atmosphere, can solve the problem very well.
After each divided the work, everyone was sprinkled with corpse powder that could cover up the smell. This kind of thing was sold in the Mercenary Association, but it was expensive. This time, Xu Lang and the others spent a lot of money to earn credits. Later, they selected two people with good skills, tied iron chains and iron cans that could make noises at the back of the car, rolling up sand and dust while attracting the attention of the zombies. The rest, some were alert, some were responsible for driving the trailer, and some were specially used to catch zombies with poles.
"Let me be a warning!" Hong Yi raised the longbow in his hand, which at this time showed the advantages of a weapon like a bow and arrow. If Hong Yi used a gun, the sound of the gun would inevitably attract the attention of the zombies, but using a bow and arrow would be different. The arrows were silent and would never cause any trouble.
"Okay, that's it. Liu Jia, you help Hong Yi to guard, Lao Hu, Fei Yan, you two help me catch the zombies, and the others are responsible for driving and controlling the cage car." Xu Lang showed the coordination ability of a mercenary captain at this time. After arranging the matter, everyone took their own responsibilities and started to take action.
Hong Yi and Liu Jia jumped to the roof of a car. The so-called warning is naturally to discover possible dangers in advance and to eliminate possible threats by means of means.
Not far away, two cars used as bait were already dragging iron chains and iron cans, and at the same time, raising a vast cloud of sand and dust.
Xu Lang and others were behind, covering their mouths and noses with wet cloths, holding poles in their hands to capture the zombies. Xu Lang and Lao Hu, fat intestines, were both strong and strong mercenaries. It was not difficult to catch the zombies together. After a while, four or five zombies were caught and locked up in a cage car.
There is no doubt that Xu Lang’s plan was very successful.
"It seems that everything is going well. At this speed, it won't take long to catch a car full of zombies!" Liu Jia said with a rifle in her arms, obviously very optimistic.
Hong Yi nodded without saying a word, but his eyes glanced in another direction.
It is a valley, a must-pass way to come here, with many rocks, two or three kilometers away. At this distance, even if there is an adjutant, the brain of the intelligence of the adjutant, they don’t see it very clearly, and just an hour ago, they just passed by there.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jia looked at Hong Yi and followed Hong Yi's gaze, but saw nothing.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too worried!" Hong Yi shook his head.
In fact, when he left the gathering place today, Hong Yi felt that someone was following them, but this feeling was intermittent. Just now, he felt as if he was peeping, very uncomfortable, and the direction of his peeping was in that area, but now he couldn't feel it, so Hong Yi couldn't make sure.
Liu Jia nodded, then looked at the bow and arrow in Hong Yi's hand, then looked at Hong Yi's quiver, and asked tentatively: "You bought these quiver when you went to the Mercenary Association before. Are they energy weapons?"
I have to say that Liu Jia's eyes are very vicious. Hong Yi did not tell her what she was selling, but she could see that it was different from ordinary weapons, and the main materials were different. It was normal for veteran mercenaries like Liu Jia to see it.
"That's right!" Hong Yi nodded and admitted.
"You are indeed a first-level evolutionist in Baixing, and you have mastered the 'energy release' skill. It's amazing!" Liu Jia's tone was full of envy.
She has been a mercenary for three years. She has experienced countless dangers in the past three years and has done hundreds of tasks, but she has not saved enough to buy the evolutionary programs and potions of the first-level Baixing. Like other mercenaries, becoming an evolver at even the first-level Baixing is one of her goals.
"Become a student of the Evolution Branch, I believe that you and Xu Lang will soon become Baixing first-level evolvers!" Hong Yi said at this time. He is not a comforting person. The Evolution Branch has various exams. After passing some exams, you will not only receive accumulated credits, but also receive rewards such as evolutionary procedures and potions.
Even if you do not obtain rewards through the examination, you can still purchase them at a relatively preferential price, but this discount will only be given once.
Hong Yi himself plans to purchase Baixing's second-level evolutionary procedures and potions as a student at the Evolution Branch.
"You are right, Hong Yi, I know you are very powerful, but don't be proud. Xu Lang and I will catch up with you soon!" Liu Jia smiled at this time, feeling very heroic.
Hong Yi also smiled. He knew that with the hunter skill tree alone, Xu Lang and Liu Jia would not be able to catch up with him, and they would only go further and further away from it. However, of course he would not say such words. No matter what, these two people are their friends and have experienced a life-and-death crisis.
In the distance, Xu Lang and the others had already caught the tenth zombie, and the cage was almost full. However, when this tactic was also flawed, a zombie roared after being trapped, and then several other zombies that were relatively close to it immediately rushed up. One of the zombies rushed towards Lao Hu, and the latter was also blocked by sand and dust, and did not find any danger.
Lao Hu was dragging a zombie with a pole, and suddenly felt something was wrong behind him. He turned his head and saw that a zombie was only half a meter away from him, and the disgusting teeth in the other party's mouth were clearly visible.
"It's over!" Old Hu closed his eyes and knew that he was helpless. At this distance, the zombies attacked again, and he had no time to react.
But the next moment, Lao Hu only felt a strong wind passing by his ears, and then there was nothing.
"What's going on?" Old Hu opened his eyes and found in horror that the corpse that attacked him had fallen to the ground and died, with an arrow inserted into his forehead.
A hundred meters away, Hong Yi continued to shoot a few arrows, then retracted the longbow, and continued to chat with Liu Jia.
The zombies that were approaching unexpectedly were shot and killed one by one, all of which were arrows in their foreheads. This reaction and speed were obviously beyond the scope of ordinary people.
Lao Hu was sweating coldly in his forehead. Finally, he understood why Xu Lang didn't hesitate to have a quarrel with Erbing and wanted to come over with Hong Yi. The other party's archery skills were too powerful, and the reaction speed, accuracy and strength were impeccable. He gave Hong Yi a thumbs up, and suddenly felt very at ease. With such a teammate on the side, he could hand over his back to the other party with confidence.
"Is it just an energy shooting?" Liu Jia leaned over and asked. Hong Yi's reaction was too fast just now. She didn't see how the other party pulled the first arrow from the bow. At the same time, she was also a little nervous. If it weren't for Hong Yi, Old Hu would definitely die just now, and this was undoubtedly her dereliction of duty.
However, the dangerous scene just now appeared too suddenly, and the raised sandstorm also interfered with her, so she didn't have time to react. However, Hong Yi could shoot the walking zombies with bows and arrows in such a short time, which was indeed quite amazing.
Hong Yi shook his head and replied, "No, there is no need for energy arrows to deal with ordinary zombies!"
Just kidding, one hundred new coins for energy arrows, used to deal with the lowest level zombies, is a brain problem. With his current strength comparable to the second-level white star evolutionist and his mastery skills in bows and arrows, it is not difficult to make the actions just now.
At this time, Xu Lang and Lao Hu and others captured two more zombies, and the zombies in the cage were almost full.
"That's it, no matter how much you have, you can't let go!" Xu Lang looked at the situation, then gestured to the others to finish work.
The next moment, they grabbed their weapons and began to shoot the remaining zombies. The two cars in front of them used to attract the attention of zombies also stopped, and the people in the car began to shoot with machine guns welded to the roof.
Since the capture target is achieved, there is naturally no need to leave the remaining variants.
There were only more than 30 zombies left, and they were quickly shot to death under powerful firepower. Then everyone put aside the zombie's heads and saw if there were any brain crystals. As a result, they were lucky and got three white brain crystals.
“This time I got a good harvest!”
Looking at the dozen struggling and roaring zombies in the cage car, everyone was very satisfied with this action. The zombies in the cage car should be able to exchange for some credits.
After a brief rectification, everyone went home, and Lao Hu got into the car where Hong Yi was on, took out a can of wine produced from the gathering place from his backpack and handed it to Hong Yi a bottle, and said gratefully: "Brother Hong, thank you this time."
"Isn't the duty of alert to ensure your safety? Don't be polite!" Hong Yi smiled and took the wine bottle. Lao Hu is not bad, with a straightforward personality. When he is not familiar with him, he doesn't say a word, but when he is familiar, he will never finish talking.
At this time, the vehicle had already begun to turn back quickly and quickly drove to the low-lying valley before. The terrain conditions here were very poor because there were many pits and undulating around, which made the valley the only way to pass through cars.
Just after entering the valley, Hong Yi suddenly frowned and looked out the window. The next moment, an explosion suddenly broke out on the cliff in front, followed by a large number of gravel slid down from the hillside. The first car in front braked suddenly, but the rolling huge rocks still flattened the front hood of the car, swelling three or four meters high smoke and dust. The explosion sounded from behind, rolling down the rocks, blocking the retreat.
