The places close to Dawn have basically been cleaned up. After the cleaning, the zombies in the vicinity of Dawn are almost extinct, and the evolved beasts have also been greatly reduced. The remaining ones will be attracted by the sounds in the Dawn base for a period of time and move closer to Dawn First.
A line of defense, and then destroyed by the Dawn Warriors.
Therefore, almost fifteen kilometers after exiting the first line of defense, the convoy stopped three times without encountering any danger, not even an evolved beast.
After Lin Qiaoni and Xiao Xiaoling introduced a few details again, Luffy became bored.
He looked out the window.
I walked this road last year. It is a mountainous provincial road about 30 kilometers long, connecting the national highway and the LH Expressway. LZ is located on the Loess Plateau. Last year, it was all loess. Occasionally, some green plants can make people's eyes brighter.
, but now, the mountains are covered with grass, and even the original dead trees have sprouted again.
Xiao Xiaoling followed Luffy's gaze and said immediately, "Since last autumn and the beginning of spring, we have discovered that these plants also have a tendency to evolve. Their current performance is that they are growing vigorously and have strong adaptability to the environment. It may not take more than a few years.
, Aqua Blue Star will return to the green ocean again!”
Luffy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? It's just that the environment is almost the same, but there is such a difference before and after the apocalypse. After the apocalypse broke out, it didn't rain much."
"The base has also invested in research on this. Brother, did you know? The root systems of most of these plants have mutated and are more than twice as big as before the apocalypse. This means that the roots of the plants can penetrate deeper into the earth and absorb more water and nutrients.
More!" Xiao Xiaoling said.
"The world is no longer the same as before!" Luffy sighed, "And this journey is destined to be uneventful!"
The reality soon confirmed Luffy's suspicion. When the convoy reached about 20 kilometers along the provincial highway, an early warning came from the No. 1 reconnaissance point.
"A flock of pheasants appears one kilometer away, all units should pay attention!"
Lin Qiaoni gave the order decisively, "The convoy shall pause and pay attention to the movements of the evolved beasts. If they approach the convoy, kill them!"
"The size of the mountain cluster is about a few hundred!" Scouting Point No. 1 continued to conduct reconnaissance.
Luffy and his friends had illegally captured pheasants in the past. He knew that pheasants were almost extinct ten years before the end of the world. With the country's emphasis on wildlife protection, the pheasant population slowly recovered.
There are a few, but not many. When driving in the mountains, if you are lucky, you will see one or two running on the mountains. Now, in just over half a year, the number has reached several hundred, which shows that its breeding cycle may have been shortened.
Times have also changed.
"The chickens have entered the sniper range of the first company, requesting a shooting order!"
"shooting!"
After Lin Qiaoni's order was issued, gunshots rang out instantly from the convoy. First came a company of snipers, and the shooting frequency was not intensive.
"The chickens have entered the sniper range of the second company, requesting a shooting order!"
"shooting!"
As the second company joined the battle, the sound of sniper fire became more intensive.
Soon, a company of rifles also joined the battle. Although all rifles were in burst firing mode, the gunfire was much denser than that of sniper rifles.
The non-combatants in the convoy looked out through the car windows, hoping to see some fighting conditions.
Luffy also opened the door of the RV and jumped on the roof.
From the roof of the car, he could already see Qiu Zhihu shouting, "Pay attention to your aim, don't waste bullets!"
You must know that bullets are still non-renewable resources at this stage. Each company has a limited amount every week. As a company commander, he has to remind his men to save bullets.
About four to five hundred meters away, a flock of chickens were sprinting. Although pheasants can also fly, flying is not their strong point. Only when their lives are threatened, they will use flight to escape hunting. Compared with before the doomsday,
, their stature is almost three to four times larger, which allows them to show their stature in the grass and be sniped by Dawn warriors.
And their bright feathers make them so conspicuous in the green grass.
At this time, Lin Qiaoni also jumped onto the RV and started looking into the distance.
"No, the bullets are too injurious to it. Only soldiers who are proficient in sniping will hit it. Most of the others are blinded!" Lin Qiaoni quickly came to a conclusion, and then she gave the order, "One, two.
Company, all second level and above warriors are ready to fight!"
"Brother, why don't you go down and have a good time? You haven't been active for a long time." Lin Qiaoni suggested.
"No!" Luffy shook his head.
"Why?" Lin Qiaoni was puzzled.
Luffy looked down at his body and said, "I can't bear to part with this outfit!"
"Uh, okay!" Lin Qiaoni was speechless.
At this time, all the second-level warriors put away their firearms. It is true that firearms are not the best choice to deal with such birds. It was before the doomsday and it will still be after the doomsday.
Qiu Zhihu, who was at the front of the convoy, was already taking off his pants. His abilities needed to be transformed before they could be used.
In the center of the convoy, Wang Baomin stood on the roof of the armored vehicle, holding a sniper rifle. He could kill an evolved pheasant with every shot.
"Chief, General Black requests to go to war!"
Suddenly, the breeder's voice sounded on Lin Qiaoni's walkie-talkie.
"agree!"
The next moment, Luffy saw General Black and Huahua rushing out of the convoy and heading straight for the pheasants. General Black's huge body could not be submerged by weeds. As he ran, he shook his head and drooled.
"Except for Company Commander Wang, everyone else stops shooting!"
At this time, in addition to General Black, all Dawn warriors rushed forward to fight with these pheasants.
In order to avoid accidental injury, Lin Qiaoni decisively issued the order.
As General Black and a group of dawn warriors rushed into the mountain wasteland and began to fight with the pheasants, it felt like a chicken flying around.
Although the number of pheasants is large and the momentum is huge, they are generally at the first level of evolution. When facing the black generals and dawn warriors, they are still the same as ordinary pheasants and ordinary people before the end. The gap has not widened, so the dawn warriors attack
Killing these pheasants is still very easy, the only difference is that the noise is extremely huge.
A pheasant saw General Black roaring and rushed over. It started to flap its wings, flew into the air, and then swooped towards General Black, trying to peck General Black, but General Black nodded and bit.
It grabbed the pheasant's head, and then with a crisp "pop" sound, the pheasant's head was bitten into pieces and then thrown out.
The pheasant, whose head was bitten off, was still flapping its wings instinctively and struggling in the grass.
General Black ignored the mortal pheasant and rushed to the next one.
"Holy shit! You beast, you dare to peck me!" A Shuguang platoon leader turned his head and saw a pheasant pecking at his butt. He was shaking his head constantly, trying to peck off a piece of meat.
But as a third-level evolver, Captain Shuguang's muscles are not dense enough for a first-level pheasant beast that is not good at eating.
He was so angry that he immediately turned around, grabbed the pheasant's neck, lifted it up, then used his other hand to break the pheasant's neck, and then threw it out. Blood immediately filled the air.
At this moment, Qiu Zhihu also joined the battlefield. He was seen holding a rectangular steel plate in both hands. This was one of his special weapons that could launch a group attack. He was seen waving the steel plate among the pheasants.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Every sound means that a pheasant has been shot to death by him.
Every sound is accompanied by the screams of pheasants.
The frightened pheasant flew up, but could not escape his death windmill.
Every Shuguang warrior who enters the battlefield has his own cold weapon. In the past, there were almost all kinds of weapons, but recently they have basically been replaced by Tang knives forged by Shuguang at the New District Machinery Factory.
The Tang Dao can chop, pick, chop, and stab, and has become the weapon of choice for most Shuguang warriors.
These dawn warriors, all with second-level strength, danced their swords in the air among the pheasants. Each knife could cut open the body of a pheasant, as if they were playing with the pheasant slicing.
The flocks of pheasants were so numerous and powerful that the Dawn Warriors were frightened when they saw them. However, after experiencing a few pheasant attacks, they were no longer afraid. It was like being pecked by a big rooster before the end.
, but it only hurt a little, and then turned around and kicked the cock half to death.
Finally, after more than half of the pheasants were killed or injured, the pheasants realized something was wrong, turned around and fled towards the mountain.
This scene is like a rooster that is attacking an adult and flees angrily after being kicked a few times.
