The breeze was blowing, and there was no other sound around except the sound of wind.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood there and observed the changes around him. After a few minutes, he didn't notice anything unusual around him.
However, the strong sense of crisis lingering in my heart has not disappeared.
Based on experience, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead concluded that the current quiet phenomenon was only temporary, and that danger was already approaching him and could appear at any time.
"Tsk."
"I have to step back."
Faced with this unknown situation, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not choose to continue advancing into the depths of the black earth, but slowly retreated backwards.
The sun in the sky moves toward the horizon, and the time for the sun to set is getting closer and closer.
In a short time, it will be almost possible to return home. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead can choose to return home early.
Suddenly, a subtle strange noise came from a distance. The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had been alert to the surrounding situation. When the strange noise appeared, he immediately discovered the source of the abnormality.
He turned his head and looked to the side and ahead, squinting his eyes slightly, and saw many black figures moving quickly.
"insect?"
As the distance shortened, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead could see the other party's appearance clearly.
The creatures that appeared in the distance were a group of worms. These worms were pitch black, were more than ten meters long, had slender mouths, and made a scalp-numbing squeaking sound as they crawled.
After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the opponent's appearance clearly, his expression changed drastically. Instead of retreating slowly, he turned around and ran away with all his strength.
There are a lot of worms. At a glance, there are at least hundreds of them.
With the emergence of these worms, the Black Land has become very noisy.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ran all the way. After ten minutes, he finally ran out of the black earth.
The worms chasing him saw their target leaving the black land, and their crawling speed slowed down instantly.
For safety reasons, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ran forward for more than two hundred meters. At this time, he felt that he was almost safe, and then turned around and looked around.
The black worm was still in the black earth, staring at the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and making a squeaking sound.
They did not come out of the black earth. The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, speculated that the outside environment may have made them uncomfortable, so they did not chase them out.
The two sides looked at each other. The worms didn't want to leave the black land, so naturally they couldn't catch the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, so after staying for a while, the worms turned around and left.
"..." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking quickly in his mind.
The images of the dead alien beasts he had seen before emerged in his mind one by one. At this time, based on the shape of the worm's mouth, he judged that the alien beasts had probably strayed into the black land and been attacked by the worms, which eventually led to
die.
After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the conclusion, he did not stay where he was.
He marked this piece of black land and embarked on his way home.
…………
The sun gradually changes color in the horizon, and the blue sky is dyed red by the gorgeous sunset.
In the pig-headed camp, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood beside a fence covered with weeds, watching his men clear away the weeds with the tools in their hands.
These areas have not been tidied up for a while, and the weeds have grown wildly and are about to submerge the camp fence.
If left unchecked for a long time, weeds will expand to other places, and many areas of the camp will be covered with weeds.
If there are too many weeds, it is easy for insects to breed. At that time, life will be difficult for the people living in the camp.
Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions in advance and deal with the vigorously growing weeds first.
After the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain gave the order, the pig-headed soldiers who stayed at the camp immediately started to work. After a while of work, many weeds growing around the fence were cleared away.
There are more and more weeds growing in the open space.
If it were in my hometown, the cleared weeds would be piled up in an open area and burned in the fire after they dried.
Now in this wild area, with strange beasts roaming around and dangers lurking around, it is definitely not possible to use fire to clear weeds.
"Captain, is this okay now?" a pig-headed warrior reported.
At this moment, all the weeds beside the camp fence were cleared by the pig-headed warriors.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain glanced around and nodded with satisfaction, "You guys did a great job, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, the pig-headed soldier followed the instructions of his superiors and began to move the piles of weeds piled in the open space outside the camp.
Burning weeds with fire will produce black smoke and expose the campground.
In this case, we can only move it to other places and let these weeds decompose naturally.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain saw his men busy moving weeds, and thought to himself, the weeds were growing like this, and they had to be cleaned up every once in a while, which was very troublesome, and he needed to find a way to solve this problem.
"Captain." A pig-headed warrior came over from the direction of the warehouse.
"What's the matter?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain who was thinking was interrupted from his thoughts and looked at his subordinates and asked.
"There is not much salt in the warehouse." The pig-headed soldier reported.
"Tomorrow you take a few people outside to collect some." said the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain.
"How many do we need to collect?" the pig-headed warrior asked.
"First collect enough for us to eat for three months! We will decide later depending on the situation." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said.
"Okay." The pig-headed soldier wrote down this matter, and later he went to find a few companions to discuss going out to collect salt tomorrow.
Some places outside the valley are very convenient for collecting edible salt. This problem is very easy to solve. There is no need to worry about lack of salt, a necessary commodity.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain sat in the camp and handled things in an orderly manner.
The sky became darker and darker, and a figure appeared in the direction of the exit of the valley.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, returned to the camp before the sun went down as usual.
When he came back today, he didn't see his friend. He asked someone and he said he was in the room.
In the quiet room, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain sat at the table and read through a notebook.
This note contains some tips he has recorded over the years. Now if he encounters some problems, he can look through the notes to find solutions.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain was looking through his notes. When he heard a knock on the door, he immediately shouted in the direction of the door.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard the sound, opened the door and walked in.
"Are you back?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain saw his friend and said hello with a smile.
"What are you looking at?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead pulled up his chair and sat down, asking curiously.
"Weeds are easy to grow around the fence of our camp. I want to see if there is any way to suppress the growth of those weeds." The handsome pig-headed logistics team leader explained.
"You said it inhibits the growth of weeds. I remember there is a kind of plant. Soak it in water, and then sprinkle the soaked water on areas where weeds frequently grow. It can effectively inhibit it." There was a brown line on his forehead.
The pig-headed captain of the birthmark said.
"I've heard of what you're talking about, but I don't know what that plant looks like." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said regretfully.
"That's a coincidence. I've seen them before. When I was out patrolling some time ago, I found quite a few at the foot of a hillside." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile.
"Bring some back next time you pass by..."
"Okay, no problem."
"Did you encounter anything special when you were out on patrol today?" After chatting about suppressing weeds, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics team leader began to ask about the patrol.
"Today's luck is not as good as yesterday. I was attacked by many strange beasts." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead told what happened today, especially the black earth and many worms he encountered at the end.
"I have never encountered the black land and the many worms you mentioned before. From your description, those worms should sustain life by sucking the blood of their prey." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said.
"Fortunately, those worms will not escape from the black earth, otherwise this area will become even more chaotic..." said the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"I don't know if the area of the black land will expand. If it does, the range of activities of the black worms living in it will also be further expanded." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said.
"I don't know about this. I have written down the location of the black land now. I will go and see if the scope of the black land has changed after a while." There is a brown birthmark on his forehead.
The pig-headed captain thought for a moment and said.
After chatting for a while, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain began to ask about the situation of his men who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the alien beasts at various outposts outside.
Because the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead changed his inspection route today, he did not visit many outposts and did not know much about the situation of the pig-headed warriors living there.
"There are no problems at the posts I have been to. As for the posts I have not been to, I don't know if they are all safe."
"That's it! I hope they are all safe." said the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain.
The sun in the sky disappeared at the distant horizon, and night enveloped the earth.
There are countless stars in the night sky. There is no moon tonight, and the stars all over the sky have become the protagonists.
Since there was no moon, it was pitch dark everywhere, and it could be said that you couldn't see even your fingers.
The strange beasts that wander out at night are not used to the lack of moonlight.
Some exotic animals were difficult to hunt in this environment, so they all chose to return home.
On the mountainside of a mountain, in a post built by a pig-headed man, two figures were eating dry food.
After the sun went down, the pig-headed warriors on mission here soon heard many different beast roars.
Just by listening to the sounds, you can tell that there are quite a few strange beasts making these calls.
After staying here for a few days, the two pig-headed warriors were not in danger for the time being.
They looked serious now, eating dinner while listening to the roar of beasts outside.
Since the number of beast roars has increased again, it means that the probability of encountering strange beasts in this small area has increased.
This is not a good thing for the two pig-headed warriors, so they must be more careful to hide themselves at night to avoid being discovered by the strange beasts that come out to hunt at night.
After being nervous all night, the sun finally rose in the sky.
The two pig-headed warriors rested alternately, looking at the sun rising in the sky, feeling very happy.
"There's a situation." A pig-headed warrior suddenly saw the grass in the distance shaking, and he immediately became alert.
"Where?" Another pig-headed warrior asked quickly, and then he looked at the place pointed by his companion's finger.
The two pig-headed warriors immediately picked up the weapons placed in the corners and stared nervously at the swaying grass.
A familiar figure walked out of the grass. When the two pig-headed warriors saw it, their nervous expressions immediately disappeared.
"grown ups."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the grass, smiled and nodded to the two men who greeted him, and then asked about the past two days.
After learning that the number of alien beasts in this area had further increased, the expression of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead suddenly became serious.
"Did the number last night double compared to before?"
"At least doubled." The pig-headed warrior estimated the number of beast roars and answered seriously.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, frowned and pondered. This situation seemed to him to be very dangerous.
Although the place where the outpost was established is relatively hidden, if the number of alien beasts continues to increase, the two pig-headed warriors are likely to be discovered by the alien beasts.
"You two pack your things and go back to the camp..." the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead gave the order.
"Ah?" The two pig-headed warriors did not expect to receive such an order.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead explained the seriousness of the matter and asked them to follow the order. After that, he left the post and headed to the next place.
I went to several outposts later and encountered the same situation.
For safety reasons, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked all the pig-headed warriors who were staying at the outpost to pack their things and return to the base camp.
