Qing'an City is very big, and even in the suburbs, there is no so-called open space.
In the vast white world, there are endless snow-capped mountains on both sides of the road, one next to the other.
Walking on the road covered with thick ice and snow, Li Meng followed the footprints left by the soldiers in front, his eyes in the helmet scanning the front and both sides.
We are already about two kilometers away from the crossroads battlefield, and nearly half of the way to the dock is gone.
The soldiers from the two groups have not stopped banging their spears since they set off. Although the sound of clanking metal is not loud, the volume has exceeded the decibel level that can be heard by alien beasts. Alien beasts within a radius of several kilometers can hear it.
movement.
But after all this time, the strange beast never appeared again.
"Roar……"
After talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Just as Li Meng was wondering why he didn't see any strange beasts, in the distance on the left, a beast roar suddenly rang out.
This made Li Meng's eyes light up as he was walking forward. He quickly stopped and said loudly: "Get ready to fight."
Following Li Meng's order, the army stopped advancing and the front line changed rapidly.
The imperial archers scattered in all directions and were divided into four teams, scattered in front of and behind Li Meng, in four directions: left and right.
There are about thirty people in each team, standing in two columns and two rows, with about fifteen people in each row.
With iron arrows drawn from the quivers on their backs, the imperial archers loaded their bows and prepared to attack.
"Roar……"
The roar of the beast is getting closer and closer, coming from the left, that is, the west.
The noise is getting louder and louder, and the noise caused by the strange beasts running wildly in the snow can be clearly heard.
where?
over there!
In Li Meng's eyes, a group of red figures appeared from behind a snow-capped mountain not far away.
They ran wildly in the snow, locked on the target on the distant road, and let out bursts of roars.
They scrambled, biting and having fun with each other, just like the group of strange beasts just now, seeming to recognize the weakness of their prey.
In less than ten seconds, they had already entered within a hundred meters. Just like the group of strange beasts just now, there were still five of them.
Seeing this, Li Meng's face darkened slightly and he said coldly: "Free fire."
Seeing that the enemy came from the west, the imperial archers in the two groups also turned their direction and aimed at the enemy from the west.
Following Li Meng's order, the imperial archers locked their targets and loosened their bow strings one after another.
"call out……"
Just hearing a scream that broke through the air, one iron arrow after another shot out of the air, attacking the strange beast in the distance.
The distance of tens of meters was reached in an instant, and iron arrows tore through the air, nailing the alien beasts with a scream.
"laugh……"
The huge power made the iron arrow powerful and penetrated deeply into the body of the alien beast.
The huge impact caused the alien beast to stumble and fall to the ground. Before it could get up, more iron arrows fell on it.
Under the intensive attack of iron arrows, one alien beast fell, two alien beasts fell, three alien beasts fell...
When there were only two alien beasts left, the alien beasts were no longer able to charge. They lowered their heads, protected their eyes, and retreated continuously under the impact of the iron arrows, roaring angrily.
Like Li Meng's soldiers, they have no fear, even if they are certain to die, they only have the desire to kill in their eyes.
Their skulls are so hard that even if their heads are filled with iron arrows, they still won't be killed.
Only if it penetrates the eye can a fatal blow be achieved.
But that doesn’t mean that as long as you protect your eyes, they are invincible.
"laugh……"
Amidst the screams, sharp arrows pierced the bodies of the two strange beasts one after another.
Every time it attacks, the alien beast roars and retreats, shaking its head in an attempt to shake off the iron arrow on its head.
"laugh……"
A sharp arrow shot out of the air, flew over a distance of tens of meters, and pierced into the neck of a strange beast.
"Roar……"
With a wailing cry, the alien beast fell to the snow, its body covered with iron arrows, and golden blood flowed out. It gasped for breath, and its life was passing away bit by bit...
A few seconds later, another strange beast also fell to the ground, with a black iron arrow stuck in its left eye.
The iron arrow was inserted very deep, one-third of the way in, and it was a fatal blow.
really……
Li Meng murmured in his heart as he looked at the corpses of strange beasts lying on the snow dozens of meters away.
Once the number of imperial archers increases, these strange beasts will not be so scary.
Unless they know how to sneak attack and hide in the snow or in buildings beside the road, it will be difficult for them to cause effective damage to the army.
Although the alien beasts have speed and strength, they are all large and their bodies look bulky. They are heavyweight creatures, and their colors are obviously not suitable for sneak attacks. They are frontal hunting.
creature.
And they don't act alone. Like lions, they should be social creatures.

"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +3 iron resources..."

"Keep going, let's go."
After recovering the bodies of the alien beasts, the army continued to move forward.
The journey after that was much smoother. No matter how loudly the spears in the hands of the imperial pikemen clicked, no strange beasts were seen attacking.
Walking in the snow was still very slow, and it took the army three hours to reach its destination.
Standing by the road, Li Meng raised his eyes and looked around, looking at the broad snowfield in the distance.
It was a river, a big river. It was the Jianghuai Canal, which was hundreds of meters wide and stretched from west to east to the end of sight.
Just beside the canal, there are three huge tower cranes. On the shore behind the tower crane is a pier. On the pier, there are several snow-capped mountains and a continuous patch of small snowpacks.
The thing buried under the snow is Li Meng's target, the coal that the shelter needs most right now.
Not far away, you get off the main road and follow a trail for a few hundred meters and you're there.
And under Li Meng's feet is the connection between the trail and the main road.
"Let's go..."
Taking a step forward, Li Meng left the main road and walked along a path towards the dock by the river.
Behind him, a group of soldiers followed closely...
Under the escort of the army, Li Meng entered the dock.
There is still a vast white world in front of me, everything is buried under the snow.
When he came to a small snow bag, Li Meng bent down and peeled away the thick snow...
As the snow was peeled away, large and small pieces of coal appeared in Li Meng's eyes.
Picking up a larger piece of coal, Li Meng stood up.
Looking at the coal in his hand, Li Meng was very curious, what resources would be obtained if the coal was recycled?
Then give it a try.
Thinking of this, Li Meng had an idea.
In Li Meng's hand, a white brilliance suddenly appeared, turning into little light particles and covering the coal. The next moment, the coal turned into a white brilliance and poured into the void, disappearing without a trace.
