Although the dark volcanic ash weather of a few decades ago has become less and less common, there are still patches of gray in the Blue Star sky.
The deciduous forest in the mountain range has turned red at this time, perhaps because it is dyed red in autumn, or perhaps it is the result of the setting sun.
Caishi Town.
Except for the castle-like masonry building in the middle, the other buildings only have one or two floors.
Perhaps due to the arrival of autumn, the streets were deserted, but in the evening the east side of the town became very lively.
The one-eyed father in a cotton coat was bargaining with hunters, farmers or adventurers at the small market.
"Gangfu, this is already the cheapest, 24 pieces per piece." An old hunter spitted stars with yellow teeth in his mouth.
But the one-eyed dad was about to turn around.
"No, Mr. Gang, we have been dealing with each other for more than ten years. The price is 22 pieces." The old hunter became a little anxious.
"Here." The one-eyed dad took out a small animal skin bag from his pocket, counted 44 bullet shells from it, and handed it to the old hunter.
Then he lifted up the two Baloo rats on the ground with one hand. They were large prairie dogs that had been mutated by radiation. One of them could grow to more than ten kilograms.
"You made a lot of money, this is the last batch of fat rats this year." The old hunter said with a smile.
"You make it sound like you've lost money." The one-eyed father said contemptuously. After speaking, he ignored the old hunter's chatter and turned around to go to a shop.
The store only had some ceramic jars, and inside the jars were some white sea salt. I glanced at the price on the wooden sign, and then touched the bullet casings in the small bag.
The store employee quickly asked: "Gang Fu, do you want sea salt? I just bought this from Haiyan Town."
"too expensive……"
Didi... A rapid whistle sounded in the market, and chaos suddenly broke out outside.
The one-eyed gangster's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately ran towards his house with two Balu rats in hand, regardless of the purchase of sea salt.
At this time, in Caishi Town, the rapid whistle sound was still being sounded, and it seemed to be getting more and more impatient.
Many young and middle-aged townspeople ran toward the outside of the town with homemade flintlock guns, crossbows, spears, machetes, etc.
…
Shitou was awakened from his excitement when he heard the rapid whistle, and immediately ran to the rest room where he and his father were living, and pulled out a large box from under the bed.
There was a flintlock gun that was well maintained with animal oil, a long bow, some arrows, lead pellets, black powder bags, etc. These were Dad's weapons.
He picked up a spear and machete and was about to go find his father, but he almost bumped into the one-eyed gangster who rushed in.
"Dad."
"Stone, take your weapons and follow me."
"clear."
The father and son quickly put on their leather armor and ran towards the west side of the town with their weapons, because the smoke column of the police sentry was on the west side, and the enemy came from the west side.
Along the way there were armed townspeople with guns and knives, and everyone was running towards the west side in a hurry.
On the way, he also met the town's security team. Looking at the rifles and revolvers held by the security team, Shitou was a little envious.
Soon the group arrived at the west side of Caishi Town, which is a river valley plain. The armed townspeople who arrived in advance were waiting in trenches or behind piles of rocks.
A sentry on horseback in the distance hurriedly galloped over, came to the captain of the security team, and muttered a dozen words.
Standing dozens of meters away, Shitou and the one-eyed Gangfu couldn't hear much clearly, but he saw the security captain's face was very solemn and he kept roaring at the people around him.
Soon Shitou figured out why the security captain was so angry.
In the distant fields, countless cavalry appeared in front of everyone. What frightened Shi Shi was that the war horses were also pulling some artillery pieces.
The muzzle, which was as big as the mouth of a bowl, brought huge psychological pressure to the townspeople.
From the opponent's bloody skull flag, Shitou knew that this was the sworn enemy of the Olive Society - the Iron-Blooded Brothers.
Of course, the townspeople generally call them Blood Skeletons.
Blood Skull's cavalry and artillery stopped more than 600 meters away, then pushed the artillery up, preparing to launch an attack on Caishi Town.
Bang bang bang...
Suddenly, the rifles of the security team quickly fired at the Blood Skeleton army. However, the Blood Skeletons equipped with gun shields and steel carriages were obviously not something that rifles could easily deal with.
Boom boom boom...
Most of Blood Skull's artillery fires solid iron balls, with only a small number of explosive shells.
Despite this, the deterrent power of the artillery still made the armed townspeople and security teams unable to raise their heads under the firepower.
Shitou and Gangfu who were hiding in the trench were not too nervous. In other words, they often encountered this kind of thing.
Individuals, villages, cities, and battles in Abandoned Era are almost everywhere.
In his father's words, from birth to death, everyone cannot escape the battle. They must either survive or reach the end.
Shitou looked at the virtual panel in front of him.
[Special mission: First blood, kill an enemy, reward dynamic vision]
Although he didn't quite understand what dynamic vision was, Shi Shi didn't dare to show up casually.
Those iron eggs that smashed over made the surrounding buildings full of holes. If they were hit even once, they would probably be doomed.
Suddenly he saw a little giant over two meters tall. His arm muscles tightened rapidly, and he threw a lit explosive bag towards the blood skeleton.
Boom... There was a fierce explosion, as well as vibrations from the ground, and some screams. It seemed that the explosive package had hit the enemy's team.
Suddenly the artillery fire on the opposite side stopped. He understood the three-axe stone of the Blood Skull and knew that the other side was pushing the steel carriage over.
He stood up from the trench cautiously, and through the gaps in the pile of stones, he saw seven steel carriages being pushed over by Blood Skeleton soldiers.
There are also some shooting windows on the carriage, which can shoot at the positions in Caishi Town.
Shitou calmed down, took off his long bow and arrows, felt the direction and strength of the wind, and then glanced at the blood skeleton soldiers behind the carriage.
Nocking the arrow, bending down to draw the bow and letting go of the string in one go.
After shooting the arrow, he went down without hesitation.
At this time, the battlefield was filled with smoke, explosions and screams were mixed together, and people on both sides continued to fall.
Perhaps he was used to facing death, so Shitou was not too compassionate towards the deaths of the armed townspeople around him.
Except for his father, he was indifferent to everyone else.
[Congratulations to the survivors for completing the mission "First Blood", the rewards have been distributed.]
Shitou suddenly felt his eyes heat up, and then he concentrated on opening his eyes. Tian suddenly felt that everything in his eyes had slowed down.
You can even see the iron eggs being smashed, the clay pot grenades being thrown, and the arrows shooting rapidly in mid-air.
…
In the solar system.
Zeroon detector hidden in the asteroid belt.
At this time, the solar system is being comprehensively monitored.
Not only the Blue Star after the collapse of the doomsday, but also the space immigrants hiding in Noah City, as well as the Chinese Federation, Yanlong Republic, and Zhuxia Federation living on Mars at this time.
These three countries are the Shenzhou Union, the Yanlong Republic, and the Zhuxia Federation.
It is the artificial intelligence Fuxi who, according to the instructions of the supreme will, took away the Chinese and related family members after the collapse of the apocalypse and placed them on Mars, a political entity that spontaneously formed.
