The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters encounter
About 600 kilometers southwest of the Candita settlement, a jeep broke down in a desert.////
Nuclear war not only created patches of wasteland and destroyed a large amount of vegetation, but also drastically increased the desertification area of the entire world.
By the thirty-fifth year of the Sinful Era, at least 45% of the entire world's land area was in the form of desert. The most terrifying thing is that the area of the desert is still expanding as time goes by, and for
There is nothing humans can do to prevent the desert area from increasing year by year."
In fact, in this era, no one would pay attention to this kind of problem.
As for the giants...even the desert will not affect their survival.
As long as there is enough food, those giants can live in any environment on this land...
From a purely biological evolutionary perspective, giants do have many advantages over ordinary mutant humans.
The broken down jeep was in an awkward position, and a man and a woman were taking out a large bag of food and water from the car with unlucky looks. Although the sun was not hanging high and there was always a gloomy sky above the head, the climate in the desert was still
It makes people extremely uncomfortable.
"Mr. Qin Anyi! Didn't you remember to put some gas in before you came out of Arthur City?"
Wang Yiran threw the big bag of things directly on Qin Anyi's shoulders and scolded him angrily.
Qin Anyi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Well, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes... I... I also forgot about this."
"Looking at how smart you usually seem, it seems like nothing in the world can escape your calculations. It turns out that you can't even remember to fill up with gas."
Wang Yiran couldn't help but mocked.
The two of them had been driving the jeep on this desert for almost two days. They expected to reach their destination in one day, but they didn't expect that the jeep suddenly broke down, and then Qin Anyi
Then I remembered that most of the oil I brought with me when I came out of District 7 had been consumed by the time I arrived at Arthur City.
When he came out of Arthur City, he didn't think about the oil problem at all, so that only two days after driving out, he actually ran out of power...
"Ahem, it was a mistake. Fortunately, the distance is not far. Our journey will only take a few hours, which is faster than driving." Qin Anyi carried a bag with food and water on his back.
A flattering expression on his face.
"Hmph! No matter how fast I walk, it's still not as comfortable as riding in a car. There are already a lot of corrosives in the air. The more my body moves, the more it absorbs the surrounding air. My skin has become rougher than before.
"Wang Yiran didn't give Qin Anyi a good look at all.
"Hey, no, your skin is still so hydrated and feels as smooth as silk. This is my personal experience." Qin Anyi still raised his face, with a flattering look that didn't show the slightest bit of what a tenth-grade strong person should have.
majesty.
"You can say nice things, hey... there is a giant?"
Wang Yiran raised his hand and wanted to pat Qin Anyi's back, but suddenly he found traces of giants appearing wherever he could see.
However, because the distance was too far, Wang could still see very vaguely, and could only roughly make out that there should be only one giant there.
Along the way, the two of them saw giants for the first time in two days. It was obvious that the nearby giants had been wiped out violently, and they didn't know whether it was the work of Dolan Company or Candita Company.
"Well, a giant is attacking a group of more than a dozen refugees, tsk tsk..." Qin Anyi's tone was somewhat admiring.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yiran asked curiously.
"The quality of this refugee team is quite good. There are more than a dozen refugees, none of whom are of high quality. Their firearms seem to only be two light weapons. But they are able to deal with that giant just by relying on the simple cold weapons in their hands...
…Although I’m afraid they won’t be able to hold on for long, the combat qualities of these refugees are quite high…”
Qin Anyi said, already taking big steps: "Let's go over and have a look! This is close to Candita. This refugee team may be Candita's people!"

…
Although Balotelli is only sixteen years old this year, it is already his third year leading a team to hunt giants. In the past three years, as many as twenty-three giants have died at the hands of his team. Such a number is difficult to understand.
Although Dita City is not top-notch, it is by no means lagging behind. It can be regarded as a mid-range level.
It's just that in the past three years, no less than a hundred of his team members have died at the hands of giants. Currently, his team including himself has a total of sixteen people, and the longest among them has only been with him for a year and a half.
, as for the earliest group of team members, all of them were already dead.
Balotelli feels that he is really lucky. In the past three years, he did not know how many times he felt that he was dead, but in the end, he always managed to get through those dangerous passes without any danger, and his teammates around him died.
Wave after wave, only he remained unswervingly alive. The amount of twenty-three giants he killed also made Balotelli famous in the city of Candita. He can be regarded as a veritable giant hunter.
expert.
But it looks like today... the entire army is going to be annihilated...
Balotelli smiled bitterly to himself while dealing with the giant in front of him.
He really didn't expect that the giant in front of him would be so difficult to deal with. Although he was still an ordinary giant of only about level 5, his hunting skills were of no use to this giant!
No matter what method he used to hunt the giant in front of him, the final result would be in vain. Not only was he unable to cause any danger to the giant in front of him, but his team members were seriously injured.
In three years of hunting experience, this was the time Balotelli felt the most helpless. The giant in front of him seemed to be able to fully understand all his methods.
Subconsciously, Balotelli remembered what he had heard in the tavern before coming out this time. Some hunters couldn't stop sighing in the tavern. Recently, the giants are becoming more and more cunning and difficult to hunt. Many giants have become more and more cunning.
It seems that they are very familiar with their hunting methods, which has caused the hunting teams in Candita City to suffer heavy losses recently, and their harvests are much less than in the past.
Originally, Balotelli didn't take this news to heart, and only thought that those hunters were not good enough. With his three years of hunting experience, it was naturally impossible for him to be comparable to those mediocre ones, but now it seems... completely
Not so!
"Captain! This can't go on like this! Our hunting skills are of no use to this giant! We'd better run away!"
One team member was almost slapped by the giant. He rolled on the spot in embarrassment and then stood up and shouted loudly.
"Escape? Run away! If we don't maintain the current surrounding formation, we can't contain the giant. With the giant's speed, no one can escape!"
Balotelli roared.
"But...but it's useless even if we persist like this...when we run out of strength, we will still be eaten by the giant!" the team member continued to shout.
Balotelli didn't reply. He knew in his heart that what his team members said was right, but... what could he do if he didn't insist?
