Walk along the Yangchang Trail all the way to Fangfeng Village.
Jiang Xueming held up the light of her mobile phone and led the way in the thick gray fog.
Walking to the houses in the settlement, they could hear the breathing of residents about ten meters away.
——It's very close.
Jiang Xueming opened the tarpaulin bag and found a pile of weapons and armor.
He put on MOLLE and Kevlar body armor, stab-proof clothing and explosion-proof inserts on himself, and picked out a Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol.
Pull the slide and check the bore.
Switch the safety and insert the magazine.
Bu Liuxing was stunned by this set of actions.
Seeing Xueming finish this, he started to put the armor on Ah Xing.
Ah Xing was very curious.
"Brother Ming, can you shoot and fight?"
Xueming: "I have never fired a real gun, but I know a little bit about it."
Axing asked again: "Then where did you learn it?"
Xueming: "Mainly from CCTV6. There is a toy model shop next to the subway station. The owner is a military fan. He often buys braised food on credit, so I asked him for a shooting club experience card."
Ah Xing: "Why do you want to learn this?"
Xueming: "Just in case of emergency."
"An unexpected need?" Bu Liuxing scratched his head and cooperated with Jiang Xueming to put on the full set of equipment: "Is this necessary?"
"I'm always anxious, especially in the city of Hong Kong." Jiang Xueming told his good friend the truth: "The streets and alleys are complex, the traffic is cumbersome, and the local area has a small population and a high crime rate. I must learn some skills to be able to
Protect myself, not to mention I have to protect my sister. If I don't learn something, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sleep peacefully in the small house in the walled city."
At this moment, Bu Liuxing remembered something again——
——Just yesterday, when he was showing off his skills to Brother Jiang Xueming, he rushed out of the window and almost hit the rock wall of the tunnel.
At that moment, Brother Xueming stretched out his hand and pulled him back.
The huge force pulled his neck so hard that he fell on the walkway and couldn't get up for a long time.
It's just that the experience of life and death at that time was so exciting that Ah Xing didn't think too much about it at all - you know, he is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 92 kilograms.
But Jiang Xueming, who looked so frail in front of him, pulled Ah Xing back out of the car window with just one hand.
"Listen up, Ah Xing." Jiang Xueming mused: "This is the first time we have close contact with these creatures. If they are aliens, this is a typical fourth kind of contact. We must be cautious in everything we do.
"
He took out another pistol from the package, unloaded, and stuffed it into Ah Xing's quick-draw holster.
"Well..." Axing nodded obediently: "I feel, Brother Ming, you are really reliable..."
"I don't know if these creatures will attack us. But to be sure, I won't treat them as human beings. If there is danger and they try to hug or coerce any of us, I will definitely open fire." Jiang Xueming inserted it into his body.
He picked up twelve magazines and stuffed the survival whale knife into his leggings.
His eyes were persistent and terrifying, as if he was in working mode and ready to deal with the bully.
He emptied his weapons bag and threw out the remaining items.
"Did you see it? There are three AR-15 automatic rifles here. They should be Mr. David's main weapons."
"Yeah! Yes! I like the spear!" Ah Xing's eyes widened when he saw it, and he nodded vigorously.
Xueming shook his head: "But we can't use it."
Axing: "Why?"
Xueming: "Because I don't know how to use it."
After saying that, Jiang Xueming's fingers flew together and he quickly dismantled the three rifles into parts.
Including the butt, shooting group, gas system, troubleshooting group, trigger group, barrel, and the split structure that can be removed with bare hands, all were dismantled into parts. These parts were disrupted and stuffed back into the cloth bag. The rifle
The bullets in the magazine were also ejected one by one.
Jiang Xueming explained: "I don't know if those residents can use firearms. These days, if you train orangutans, they will learn to fire. Just in case, I dismantled them all."
"You don't care about this..." Bu Liuxing felt that something was wrong, and glanced at the weapon bag again: "It's called a little understanding?"
"Yes, understand a little bit." Jiang Xueming put on the tactical flashlight and the identification friend or foe logo, and also put on Bu Liuxing.
He patted Bu Liuxing on the shoulder. He was not tall enough, so he stood on tiptoe to take the shot, and then patted the pistol magazine on his body.
"If you need it, I will immediately assist you. This includes providing you with backup shooting and throwing you bullets and magazines."
Axing asked: "Brother Ming... do you know first aid?"
"Wait." Jiang Xueming looked down at his phone.
Ah Xing was confused: "Wait?"
Xueming raised his head, with a calm look in his eyes. He turned off the memo on his phone and replaced it with the pedometer and video functions: "Okay, now I understand a little bit."
Bu Liuxing asked frantically: "Were you looking up information on feelings just now!!?"
"If you feel unreliable, I can also learn the art of funeral service." Jiang Xueming's face was expressionless, even colder than those residents.
Bu Liuxing was shocked.
Xueming stepped over Ah Xing's side, held the gun holster in one hand, and held the knife in the other hand to protect his heart. Without a word, he walked cautiously into the settlement.
He said to Bu Liuxing: "I don't have much time, Ah Xing - it's okay if you don't come with me. Even if I'm the only one, I have to go in and find out."
"Who are you looking down on!~" Bu Liuxing pursed his lips and followed him. He followed the same steps and followed Xueming with a knife.
Jiang Xueming kindly reminded: "Don't hold the knife like this. Didn't you have a safety officer? Didn't he teach you how to use a survival knife?"
"I think it's cool to hold it like this? Isn't that how everyone holds daggers in the game?" Bu Liuxing held the whale knife across his chest.
"Then stay away from me." Jiang Xueming rolled his eyes.
Bu Liuxing: "Why?"
Jiang Xueming: "I'm afraid that if you fall down later, blood will be splashed on me."
After Bu Liuxing heard this, he immediately changed his stance of holding the knife, holding the end of the dagger firmly in his mouth, with the blade facing outward.
The two of them walked all the way to the drop-shaped building.
The nearest settlement residents are only five or six meters away from them.
Jiang Xueming said nothing, slowed down his breathing and groped forward.
Bu Liuxing did the same, wading through the muddy water behind him.
As he got closer, Xueming heard a moan that sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
From time to time, several words with unclear meanings came out of the resident's mouth, and it was difficult to form a complete sentence. They were divided into languages of different countries. Even if Chinese occasionally appeared, it was difficult to form a complete and logical sentence.
——It seems that these residents will not take the initiative to talk to each other, and they are not aggressive.
Xueming walked past this resident, always facing the target, not daring to let down his guard. He didn't move toward the next drop-shaped house until he was a safe distance three meters away.
Ah Xing followed Xueming, his heart beating wildly. He finally believed Xueming's words, because these residents looked really weird up close.
The skin of these residents has no blood color, and is exposed to a greasy sheen after being washed away by the rain. The arteries in their necks reveal a strange dark blue. The holes in their eyes do not focus or look at anything, they just simply hang down.
Hands, walking aimlessly.
He didn't know where Xueming was going, so he had to follow Brother Ming, passing by low water-dropped earth houses.
In the complicated rocky moss of the settlement, they explored step by step, gradually seeing clearly the landscape and building distribution of the entire settlement.
There are many blind and ignorant residents wandering in the messy stone paths. There are some turbid streams next to the settlement, like blood vessels, providing water and food for the settlement.
You can also see light moss and strange-shaped fungi in the slightly drier recesses under the stone platform.
The deeper you go, the more obvious the sweetness is in the air.
Different from the peripheral environment, when the streams converge deep into the settlement, they turn into three main rivers.
Beside the river, both Xueming and Meteor saw small groups of residents squatting on the beach, staring at the water with alert eyes——
——Listen to a "plop" sound.
In a few breaths, these barely clothed primitive people plunged into the river.
The water was only over one meter deep, causing large splashes of water.
When these residents returned to the shore, they were tearing and beating each other, competing for the fish in their hands.
They were tearing each other's flesh apart while stuffing the white fish meat into their mouths. Their movements were so smooth and weird, it was as if their arms, shoulders and necks had no bones.
They were still yelling at each other in various languages, and most of them were saying "Mom", because in the mother tongue of most countries, the pronunciation of the word to greet mother is roughly the same.
Bu Liuxing trembled all over: "Brother Ming...did you see it?"
Jiang Xueming: "I saw it, the blood is blue."
During the fight, the two could clearly see that blue blood seemed to be flowing in the bodies of these residents.
Their wounds healed at an astonishingly fast rate, and they suffered bloody blows while fighting for food. However, when they spit out the fish bones, the wounds on their upper limbs were almost scabbed. The wounds on their lower limbs healed a little slower, and they still limped when they walked.
reclined.
Several residents who were eating fish seemed to hear the two uninvited guests.
Separated by a distance of tens of meters, they protected the food in their hands and roared at Jiang Xueming and Bu Liuxing, spitting out the national curses of various countries.
That feeling is so weird——
--It's just like...
You clearly know what they are saying and understand the sentences they speak.
But obviously, that is not the normal behavior that humans should have.
These creatures just opened their mouths mechanically, like parrots, and shouted out the syllables of words as threatening animal roars.
A strange idea came to Jiang Xueming's mind.
——Do these people really know what they are talking about?
Bu Liuxing's knife-wielding hand was shaking uncontrollably. His eyes were red, itching and painful in the rain. When he saw the fangs in the lips and teeth of those weird residents, he cursed a few more words in the distance.
"Keep going, don't disturb them while they are eating." Jiang Xueming continued to lead the way.
"Brother Ming, you don't know, I hate people calling my mother the most! My mother is so kind to me!" Bu Liuxing calmed down and asked: "Where are you going? You didn't talk to me the whole way.
Take a breath beforehand."
"BOSS originally chose to build a new station here because of the underground water resources. We dreamed of a sea." Jiang Xueming explained: "Follow this river, find the mouth of the sea, go to the seaside, and look for Western-style buildings. Find the super ancient times that you have been dreaming about.
