Chapter 509 The Altar of Life and Death (10)

The number of fog bugs completely exceeded their imagination. They thought that these things were just gathered near their range of activities, but after they walked out of this area, they found more fog clusters like a vast ocean, turbulent clouds The regiment is all around, if you don't know the cause of its formation, you will mistakenly think that this is the legendary fairyland, but who would have thought that this cloud-shrouded valley is actually composed of these murderous insects.

Walking through the misty sea of ​​insects feels very strange. This misty and smokey thing is actually thousands of insects flying in the air. Although it is as white as snow, they can't see the beauty at all. After all, this thing But the degree of danger is far beyond those huge beasts. Even if they can disperse them, they can't really defeat them. With the absolute advantage in numbers, these mist bugs can exert even bigger power even if they are smaller. Energy, this reminds Si Xuanyi of the land of China that is still trapped in the war of resistance. Although the Japanese army is strong and well-trained, if my sons and daughters of China can persist in the war of resistance, how long can the strongest Japanese army last?Just like these thousands of mist bugs, even if you can kill them at once, hundreds of them are almost negligible in terms of the overall number. It is a truth.

"It's much safer to have these things here. The birds and beasts are all gone, so we don't have to worry about wild animals here." Ye Feng said as he walked, "Of course, the premise is to know how to guard against these things."

"I hope other people know how to deal with this thing, at least they should know how to hide it." Si Xuanyi was still worried about the safety of others.

"Hiding, unless you hide deep enough and know how to use fire, you won't be able to change anything." Ye Feng said, "If you don't know how to deal with this thing, it will be far more difficult to deal with than imagined."

"How far do we have to go?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"It can be said that the distance is not short. The terrain here is relatively complicated, and many places have to be detoured. When I came here, the straight-line distance was only a few hundred meters, but it took quite a long time. If you didn't light the fire twice to raise the smoke, I really can't find it." Ye Feng said, "It's considered that you lit the fire in time, if it is at this time, it will not work, the sky is full of these things, no matter how big you put the smoke, I may not be able to see it See, when this thing first got up, it flew relatively low, not as high as your smoke column, but now it's different, it's almost in groups all over the mountains and plains."

"These things...are they too much? The beasts here are not enough for them to eat." Si Xuanyi felt that this seemed a little unreasonable.

"I don't know... the old man didn't say that. He was only worried that you would have been eaten up. He also read about these things in books, so he didn't know how to defend against them. If you It’s not that we have the experience of applying plaster to resist before, and even if I read the method of the patriarch commanding his subordinates and plaster to protect himself, I can’t understand it so quickly. The language barrier is indeed a big problem. Fortunately, we understand it. Otherwise, don’t mention you, I’m afraid we’ll be in trouble.” Ye Feng led them for a while, pointing to a ruin, and said, “There’s a big [-] cover inside, a devil’s command knife, and only five rounds of bullets. Yes, there is also a bastard box with five bullets, and a few rounds in reserve."

"Are you still prepared?" Si Xuanyi was relieved. Although there were not many things, they could at least increase their self-defense ability.

Zhao Chenggong ran over excitedly and took out all the things. Si Xuanyi took out the previously captured bullets from his body and handed them to him.

Si Xuanyi carried the conductor himself to the point where he gave Xiaolu the bastard box, and taught her how to use it. The adults should do the work of charging into battle. run ahead.

Xiaolu took the gun over and fiddled with it a few times, and then it misfired. Si Xuanyi didn't blame her, but taught him again, and asked her to try to shoot again. The reason why she did this was because Si Xuanyi felt that since he handed over the gun to her, he had to give it to her to use. It didn't matter to waste two bullets, as long as he didn't hit his foot with the bullet at the critical moment.

"Then what... is there anything to eat?" Zhao Chenggong asked Ye Feng with some embarrassment.

"I haven't seen you all night, have you lost everything you should throw away?" Ye Feng took out his dry food bag and threw it to him. There was still enough rations for one person in it.

Zhao Chenggong was overjoyed and didn't care to argue with him. He took it and stuffed it into his mouth. He was so hungry that he remembered Si Xuanyi and Xiaolu after eating two mouthfuls.

Although a little bit is still ten thousand times better than nothing, Si Xuanyi only took one bite and gave the rest to Xiaolu. The little girl was clever, so she didn't want it anyway, Si Xuanyi had no choice but to take back some, Ye Feng watched and shook his head. At this time, Si Xuanyi hadn't forgotten to take care of the child.

Xiaolu is also smart. Knowing that everyone is still hungry, she kept looking for edible wild vegetables and wild fruits along the way. In this environment, all the wild animals ran away or hid, and it was impossible for them to hunt, so these Wild vegetables and wild fruits became the only source of food for them to satisfy their hunger. Generally speaking, they can basically satisfy their body's consumption, but it is really not easy to eat enough, but there is no need to worry about not dying of hunger here.

"This shit place, at this time, the snakes are gone." Zhao Chenggong scolded as he walked. After he got here, his biggest wish was to stew a pot of snake meat soup, but now he only has a helmet pot, let alone The snake died, and I didn't even see an earthworm.

"Now they should be hiding in the ground or in piles of rotting leaves. You can dig." Ye Feng used a big stick to push away the grass, and it was impossible to say that there were those mist insects. After scaring away all the wild animals, this process was omitted. , Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Your hearing is good, can you tell us how many people are alive here from the gunshots?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"From last night to now, I have heard no less than 20 gunshots. Judging from the scale of the sound, there are at least 40 gunshots with more than three people. The rest are scattered. Of course, this does not rule out that there are several gunshots in a team. It is possible to open fire once, but if calculated according to this method, there should be at most 50 to [-] people, or at least about [-] people. Of course, this may include our own people and the Japanese army, but it does not include Xiaolu’s people. Although they I also took some weapons, but the combat effectiveness of using firearms will not be very good. The reason why I don’t count them is because they are more likely to use knives in extreme cases than before, so we can take an intermediate value. There are three or forty people, including our combat power and the strength of the little devils. In addition, the survival ability of the Xiaolu people in this environment must be better than ours. If their number is halved, there should be at least twenty or thirty of them here. Generally speaking, there should be no less than [-] people in this forest. Of course, my calculation method may sound confusing to you, and you may not understand it. However, in my judgment, the number should be within this range."

Si Xuanyi nodded. He felt that Ye Feng's analysis was reasonable. Of course, this was a big loss compared to the number of people who came here before. Based on this number, the people who were active here seemed to be Our own side has the upper hand, after all, there are Xiaolu's clansmen among them, but from the perspective of equipment and combat quality, they basically have no advantage at all. The combat effectiveness of those tribesmen who use cold weapons will be greatly reduced. The combined number of the two seems to be a lot, but the combat effectiveness is not very good.

"It can be regarded as equal to the little devil." Zhao Chenggong is still relatively optimistic. He is a person who can blindly go to heaven with joy when he sees a little hope.

"If the war was a simple addition and subtraction, we would have won it long ago. Why are the [-] million compatriots in China afraid of those tens of millions of little devils?" Si Xuanyi is very clear about the level of his own strength, "Let's go first Meeting the old man, originally I thought that I could find other people when I arrived at this place, but now it seems that this place is too big, even if everyone comes here, the possibility of meeting them is not high, so first find the old man at the final altar to stop the little one Devil, others will come one after another."

"How can our few people stop the little devils?" Zhao Chenggong felt that this idea was not very reliable. They couldn't even hold a gun, so how could we talk about stopping those little devils?

"We have encountered so many troubles, and the little devils may not go anywhere well. Maybe they will reach the final altar with fewer people than us. Don't be blindly optimistic, but don't be too pessimistic." Si Xuanyi said, "Here we have an advantage that little devils can't match. We have a guide who is familiar with the terrain - the patriarch. He has been to this place, even if he is not familiar with it, at least he knows a little bit. With Xiaolu's translation, we still have certain advantages. , so it is still unknown who will win this battle. No matter what the outcome is, we have to find other people, and we cannot let them fend for themselves here. After all, those are our brothers. It's not easy today, and I wouldn't leave anyone behind if I could."

For his persistence, Zhao Chenggong showed unconditional obedience and support. The reason is very simple. In previous battles, it was Si Xuanyi's persistence that saved his life more than once. Any brother, he probably died in a certain mission before.

"We don't have many people in this team, so we can't continue to lose like this." Si Xuanyi said, "After the big waves wash away the sand, the ones left behind are brothers who once went through life and death together and shared weal and woe. Take a ten thousand step back, no matter whether it is life or death. , we’re all going to take them back.”

"There are not many of our old guys left." Zhao Chenggong said with a sigh. As the first batch of people who were screened out, I am afraid that only him and Lin Feng are left. Fang Yuanshan was much later than him, so the core of the entire team originally had few people. After almost every battle, they would be seriously injured. It was indeed a big wave washing the sand, and there were too few people left. There are not many newcomers, and who is willing to face such a situation?But who has the ability to completely change it?The only thing they can do in the face of war is to fight the enemy bravely, and casualties are inevitable.

"To be honest..." Ye Feng finally said after a long time, "I understand what you think, but some things are beyond our control. No matter what the outcome is, we will try our best to do it, but the reality is cruel. Avoid, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Do your best..." Of course Si Xuanyi understood what he meant. In this kind of place, everything is out of control, and the danger of this place is far beyond their imagination. That is to say, no one knows whether those people can really survive. You know, it's not that a few of them can save those people's lives without giving up.

I have to say that it was much safer for them to enter the mist again after making preparations. Those mist bugs were floating around in them as if they couldn't see them, but it didn't feel comfortable. Like walking on thin ice, whether the mud on each other's bodies falls off is a matter of life.

"How many things are there?" Zhao Chenggong was dizzy looking at the large groups of white mist. If the individual fog insects are hard to see with the naked eye, how many are there in groups?Is it tens of thousands or hundreds of millions?
"No matter how I look at it, I can't tell that it looks like a bug." Xiaolu stared at it for a long time.

"I don't know if it's true, anyway, the old man is like this." Ye Feng waved the torch to drive away those things blocking the front, although those things would not take the initiative to jump on them, but they would not take the initiative to give way to them.

"You're right, with this thing, at least we don't have to worry about being attacked by those wild beasts..." Si Xuanyi took the initiative to show an optimistic attitude.

"That being said...but when facing this thing, if you are a little careless, you will be doomed." Ye Feng stopped and carefully looked for the marks left in the vicinity, "This is very close to the place where I and the old man separated , are using old marks, please pay attention.”

Compared with Si Xuanyi and the others, Xiaolu naturally didn't know what the markings they were talking about. In fact, it was just a marking method that the old people in the team had been using before. Of course, only a few of them could understand it. This is also a tacit understanding formed by working together for a long time...
