The Stars Chamber of Commerce did not deceive Shen Rui and the others. They turned back to the Sanchakou and hurried along the Southeast Avenue. After walking a total of more than 220 kilometers and spending more than 3 hours, they finally saw a bridge at the intersection of a river and a road. superior.
Above and below the bridge, a group of strange monsters are occupying the entire bridge.
The aberrant type is a bit weird, with a lizard-like appearance and a body the size of a crocodile.
But according to Shen Rui's geographical and biological knowledge, cold-blooded animals will not go out in winter, such as snakes.
It is the end of January and the beginning of February, which happens to be the coldest period, and the sun is dim, making it even colder.
If it hadn't been for several large-scale industrial eras that intensified the greenhouse effect, I'm afraid the cold would have intensified. This is really an irony.
These lizards are strange. Some are on the ice under the bridge, while others are entrenched on the bridge. They all look motionless.
They also dug huge pits by the nearby river, in which groups of wild boars and sheep were kept, guarded by lizards.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are caves on the mud wall of the pit.
"It seems that they really want to stay here for a long time, and I'm afraid they want to block the way..." Ouyang Ling analyzed immediately.
Shen Rui agreed: "These beasts can't feed them for a long time. If they want to stay for a long time, they can only exploit us humans."
"Not only that, I guess this kind of weirdness also has other abilities, such as sleeping and dieting." Ouyang continued.
"Then first send a report and ask other places if there is any information about this new strange thing. They are likely to have migrated from the south." Shen Rui said seriously.
Soon, the team members began to dismount, put down the radios they carried with their horses, and began to contact the surrounding castles.
Not long after, Anwucheng replied.
"This is a mutated lizard from the southern swamp area. It has the ability of a warm-blooded creature, but retains the hibernation ability of a cold-blooded creature. It has evolved to be able to sustain its life for more than a year after being fed once."
Other information is also given, including that it is poisonous and can even dig burrows underground to survive.
After receiving the news, they immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
"It seems that the monsters have not been idle either. This mutated lizard is probably a tool they use to block our traffic." Ouyang sighed.
"Yes, the previous aberrations were limited by logistical conditions and could not stay in large numbers at key roads for a long time. They could only take advantage of the terrain to deal with us on a small scale, just like those rats underground and wasps in the sky. "Shen Rui agreed very much.
Ouyang completely agrees with Shen Rui's analysis. The other party can always grasp the key points at once.
"That's right. Since they have this advantage, they can gather their food in one place, and then send thousands of lizards to occupy it. The average team can't even eat them."
"Yes, the team of the first class can't bite it. We are not from the same class," Shen Rui said with confidence, "I feel that it will be difficult to find targets in the future. They are simply tailor-made prey for us!"
"Haha, what you said is absolutely correct." Ouyang also became excited. He only thought about the dangers of this kind of lizard, but forgot all the advantages of his team.
What does it mean that the other party is entrenched in a traffic artery?
This means that they have become fixed targets that cannot run away, and with the battlefield space, they are simply delivering food to your door.
Even if they can survive in the crypt, facing the battlefield space, there is no possibility of sneak attack on Shen Rui.
At that moment, Shen Rui released the troops. More than 200 team members stood in the north of the bridge and slowly approached the strange monster.
The group of lizards quickly discovered the threat.
It's just that their movements were slow and somewhat scattered. Under the urging of a huge lizard that kept slapping the ground, they still slowly started to crawl from the ice to the bridge.
Since the enemy was so scattered, Shen Rui was naturally not polite and ordered the cavalry to move forward and make contact with the enemy.
"You encounter a small group of strange monsters in the wild. You will fight with 200 people against 50 people."
"Invade the enemy's position."
"Sit in the rear and command operations."
"Retreat at the expense of leaving a small number of troops behind for cover."
"leave."
In the end, surrender was not an option, as he obviously believed that his troops were far stronger than his opponent.
Shen Rui chose to take command. He waved his hand. The next moment, the battle was over, 200 team members came out, and lizard corpses appeared on the battlefield.
There were many lizards on the opposite side that had not gathered together, and they were suddenly stunned?
I just took a nap and all my companions died?
When did humans develop such magical fighting skills again?
Ouyang Ling looked at this scene. Although it was not his first time, he was shocked every time he saw it.
This is the highest realm involving time!
The world of particles is indeed unfathomable. Human beings have developed the theory of relativity, but they barely know a little about the theory of time, and there is no way to apply it in practice.
But now, Shen Rui has used it in reality.
When science and technology develop to its peak, technology is magic.
After a few minutes, the mutated lizards finally woke up and burrowed into the caves on the river bank.
Although they are slow, they already have human-like intelligence. How can they fight against such magical opponents?
Before they could react, the main force was killed first!
The lizards fled in all directions, and the wild boars and wild sheep also fled in all directions. Without the majestic suppression of the alien beasts, they would not stay in one place.
More than an hour later, killing what needed to be killed and cleaning what needed to be cleaned, Shen Rui had collected more than twenty inventory slots.
Fight to feed war, the more you fight, the richer you get, nothing better than this.
Why do players like to play games? What they enjoy is getting stronger and gradually crushing their opponents. If you play a game, the more you fight, the fewer soldiers you fight. The generals you have trained so hard will die in battle. How many of them are still willing to play?
Inspired and with morale rising again, the team members took turns returning to the game space to rest, and Shen Rui released 50 more people to guard the game.
Anyway, he can survive as long as he sleeps for 2 hours a day. Continuous fighting makes him more excited.
After reporting the battle results to Luzhou Fort, the team turned back towards Linhe Fort and continued to advance.
This time, he encountered several caravans of different sizes, carriages, trucks, and even merchants who dared to ride in groups with two or three people on the road. Shen Rui admired the courage and adventurous spirit of these people. .
Wealth can be found in danger, and wealth can be risked with one's life. Now is the best time for business opportunities.
Each castle that persisted had killed a large number of monsters and beasts, and had a lot of meat in reserve. This was an expensive item in normal times, but only during this period could it be purchased in large quantities, hoarded and slowly sold at a high price.
After a battle in the castle, various materials were consumed hugely, and there was a huge need for purchase.
Medicines, weapons, tools, labor exports...these are all best-selling commodities.
Just like Luzhou Fort, there is currently 500 million worth of animal meat in the cold storage. It is sold to all directions during the winter. The price must be the cost price. As long as the caravan can transport it to the big castle with strong consumption and sell it, it can easily make a profit. to 3 to 5 times profit.
The big castle hunts more monsters and beasts, but consumes more. Generally, these training materials are not sold to the outside world.
Luzhou is now in urgent need of various production tools, replenishing weapons and elixirs to prepare for the next great tide, and opening up wasteland for farming in the coming year.
Shen Rui thought for a while, and then directly sold them part of the harvest just now. It was winter now, and the storage time was long, so these merchants were very happy to buy it.
The team members were even more happy when they received cash. They saw Shen Rui's generosity and that he was not one of those bosses who made big promises but failed to deliver for ten years. Their morale was high.
If placed in a game, it would definitely be a very high morale of 99 points.
We drove all the way, three to four hundred kilometers, and arrived in the evening.
Shen Rui saw a new river. The water was also frozen. There was a fortress standing on the riverside. There were fertile fields nearby and well-maintained irrigation facilities.
In terms of planting conditions, this place is similar to Luzhou Fort. Both are places where agriculture can be vigorously developed as long as the surrounding threats are eliminated.
In the apocalyptic world, food comes first, and only with food can we have everything. The first industry is the first industry.
But now, groups of strange monsters are passing by the river, not only destroying a lot of fertile fields, but occasionally looking at the castle with malicious eyes.
They are aberrations, not NPC wild monsters that refresh and disappear regularly. As long as the opponent reveals a flaw, they don't care whether it is January or February.
