Chapter 184 184 "The Creek Is Gurgling."

Chapter 184 184· "The creek is gurgling."

January 19, 2025, 12:03 noon - there is only close to ten days left before the sun and the alien species appear on Blue Star.

The north and south sides of Heizhou.

At this moment, as its name suggests, this continent is plunged into boundless darkness. Looking down, there are almost no modern lights visible, only a few scattered points symbolizing warm firelight, flickering like candles in the wind.

"Shet!"

Two flying eagle soldiers with narrow beams of light on their heads were walking on the rugged rocky road. One of them accidentally tripped and hit his toe on a stone. The huge pain made him curse angrily.

"Is it really meaningful to look for these useless survivors? No matter whether you implement Plan A or Plan B, in the end you won't even be able to earn back the value of the fuel, right?

Is the decision made by Mr. Chris and Mr. Boy really correct? "The pain from his toes opened the valve of resentment, and the soldier said with great complaint.

"There is always a reason to do this. Anyway, just execute the order. When I know that the Light and Mutual Aid were able to eradicate this matter after they planned and worked together for a long time, no matter what Mr. Chris and Mr. Boy decide, I will implement it."

Another soldier said firmly with fanatical faith in the Flying Eagle Leader.

"Doing one thing right doesn't mean everything can be done right." His teammates curled their lips, but considering the other's emotions, they didn't speak loudly. After all, it would be unwise to fall out with your teammates over some of these things. move.

"Hello... hello!" Such a voice suddenly came from the darkness in the distance. The sudden sound frightened the two people so much that the muzzle of the rifle they wore was pointed at the darkness where the sound came from.

However, the location of the other party seemed to be a bit far away. The searchlight above his head could not illuminate the location of the other party, and it was still dark in front of him.

The two men began to slowly approach and asked: "Who is there! Don't move, raise your hands and come out to us! Otherwise we will shoot!"

In fact, they are equipped with night vision goggles, but the weight of the night vision goggles is about the same as or even heavier than VR glasses. Whether it is wearable or handheld, it is fine in the short term, but in the long term, the body will definitely feel uncomfortable. On such rugged roads, it is easier to fall down after using a night vision device, which is far less convenient and lightweight than a searchlight.

His finger was already on the trigger. In the absolute silence, all sounds would be infinitely amplified. With a slight rustling sound, a figure with raised hands gradually appeared and took the initiative to walk in front of the two of them.

He looked like an extremely thin and seemingly malnourished native child.

Seeing that there was no weapon in the opponent's hand, the two men breathed a sigh of relief. After putting the gun back on their waists, a soldier walked forward and asked with a frown: "Who are you?"

"Are you soldiers from the Eastern Kingdom?" The other party did not answer him, but asked in French sign language.

The soldier raised his eyebrows. Maybe the other party didn't understand what he was saying, so he also changed his language. With some thoughts in his eyes, he asked:

"What's your name? Have you seen soldiers from the Eastern Kingdom? When?"

He knows very well that all the news about Dongguo now should be what Chris and Boy want to hear - the best of them is the bad news only about Dongguo.

"My name is Webb, aren't you from Dongguo? They came here last month! I just saw the plane lights in the sky, and I thought you were Dongguo people who came back again.

We have collected a few more stones that you call "exotic stones". Do you need them? Are you willing to trade with me? "

Webb was a little disappointed when he heard this, but then he raised his head and asked.

"Do you have any "exotic stones"? "The two soldiers looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They walked next to Webb, one on the left and the other on the right. The one who knew sign language said:

"Of course we can trade. Take me to your camp first, and tell me the whole process of your encounter with the Dongguo soldiers on the way."

"...Can you tell me who you are first?" Being sandwiched between two people, Webb had no choice but to lead them away, but he said in a weak tone.

I still remember that Lin Li and others from Dongguo would not treat me like this last time.

"We are from Flying Eagle and are now considered allies of the Eastern Kingdom. We came here, firstly, for the "Strange Stone", and secondly, with the intention of uniting and helping you survive the Era of Natural Disasters. "The soldier immediately made his voice as gentle as possible and said.

"That's it! This is what happened..." Webb's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he began to truthfully tell the two soldiers the whole process of his encounter with Lin Li.

"..."

“The food was still too little. Even though we had saved a lot, there was nothing left after eating for more than ten days.

Without food, those who were originally Piazza's thugs became disobedient again. I had no choice but to shoot and kill one of them.

Mare and his sister are also dead. They are sick, but we have no medicine. In order to prevent everyone from being infected, I can only watch helplessly as everyone throws the two of them who are still alive into the distance. .

I'm obviously Mare's friend, but I don't dare to apologize to them up close because I'm afraid of death..."

It seemed that he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Webb couldn't stop talking and told many trivial things.

"Oh - indeed, Dongguo did search for "strange stones" all over Blue Star last month. It seems you didn't lie to us. "

Obviously he is a latecomer to this place, the soldier said somewhat anti-customer, and then asked with concern:

"So what is the situation in your camp now? Do you have any fighting strength? And, the most important thing is how many "exotic stones" you have. I think we can provide you with trading chips that satisfy you. "

"There are not many people left. We have moved to another place. After the sun stopped rising, in order to make the flames burn more stably and vigorously, the survivors nearby took a fancy to our location and had a conflict.

There were too few of us young adults and we failed to win. In order to survive, we had to change places. "Then Webb spoke with some excitement and pride:

"But we also encountered a surprise. There is a river where we are changing. From time to time, there will be several "strange stones" floating over it. There are already seven. We originally wanted to wait for Dongguo to come back one day. , to trade with them, I didn’t expect to see you.

We...the bottom line of our transaction is two "exotic stones" for one backpack of food, but...is that okay? "

Webb obviously didn't understand the art of quotation at all, and it was almost written on his face that he had no confidence in the quotation and accepted the bargain.

After all, Lin Li took away more than a dozen coins and left three backpacks of food for them. But at that time, Lin Li said, "The quantity here is actually less than the price of our transaction, but after all, I am here to help you." I'm busy, and we don't have much friendship between us, so that's all.'

Therefore, Webb did not know the "exchange rate" of "exotic stones" in "these countries".

The two soldiers looked at each other again, and from their eyes, they found that they had the same idea.

"Is it okay? If it doesn't work, just..." Seeing that the two didn't speak immediately, Webb said with a guilty conscience.

So your quotation should be reasonable, right? Why don't you make a few more cuts yourself? Anyway, those stones were of no use to him. He just wanted to have a delicious meal.

"Of course there is no problem." The soldier responded loudly, "I have said that the purpose of our flying eagles coming here is not only to collect "exotic stones" like Dongguo, but also to save you. Not only do we accept this price, I can even give you more. "

Upon hearing this, Webb subconsciously glanced at the equipment carried by the two soldiers, but the two men did not seem to be carrying any supplies.

But the two soldiers noticed Webb's gaze, and one of them immediately said: "We really didn't bring anything with us, because we are still looking for a camp of survivors like you. I can contact my teammates now and bring them later." I'll go find you with my stuff."

"No, no, I believe you, I know you won't lie to me."

Webb didn't mean to say nice things, he really didn't have much doubts, because if he remembered correctly, Lin Li in Dongguo was also like this at that time. He obviously didn't seem to bring anything, but when he arrived at the camp, he suddenly took out a whole Backpacking supplies, maybe the soldiers of a strong country are like this, otherwise how can they be called a strong country.

"That's good, that's good." Under Webb's leadership, the three of them didn't spend much time arriving at the camp that Webb called.

Three small fires are the only light sources here. At this moment, each fire is surrounded by a circle of people. Behind the circle of people is a rather shabby but roofed house. '.

The white light above the soldiers' heads was so rare in the polar night disaster in Black Continent. When the survivors who heard the footsteps looked over, many of them even covered their eyes in discomfort.

"Webb, who are they?" someone asked cautiously.

"They are the soldiers of the Flying Eagle. Just like the people in Lin Li last month, they are here to trade with us! Quickly take out the "exotic stones" we collected. Maybe we can all have a full meal tonight. Got it! "Webb said to the other party very excitedly.

Because the distance between the two men was far away, almost everyone heard Webb's words. In just an instant, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the two soldiers, their eyes full of expectation and desire.

"Can we get food again?"

"Finally, you don't have to eat mud? Earthy biscuits without butter taste really bad."

"Great, let's take out all our things..."

There are real people in Heizhou who eat mud, even before the era of natural disasters. For specific mud, they remove the stones and other impurities in it, mix it with salt and butter, and brush it into small pancakes. When they dry, they Eat it directly. Of course, it is harmful to the body and the only benefit is the feeling of fullness.

Soon, after washing with water, seven "strange stones" shining brightly under the searchlight appeared in front of the two soldiers.

A soldier looked at his teammates and slowly reached for the rifle he carried. However, when his teammates looked over, he gave himself a signal that he didn't want it for the time being.

"Very good. It seems that what you said is not false. Then I will ask my teammates to come over with supplies now."

Then he took out the walkie-talkie on his chest and really started to contact his teammates.

"By the way, are everyone in your camp here? How many people are there? Because we want to save you, we need to know very precise data." He added.

"You...really want to save us from this sea of ​​misery?" someone said excitedly, and immediately knelt down in front of the two soldiers just like he had knelt down before Lin Li, and others followed suit.

"Flying Eagle is kinder than Dongguo! Dongguo people are not willing to save us, but Flying Eagle people are willing!"

"Thank you Flying Eagle! Thank you Flying Eagle!"

"Of course!" The person who was being knelt down accepted the kowtows calmly and showed a gentle smile like a loving father.

"What are you doing?" the soldier lowered his voice and asked his teammates, "Wouldn't it be better to just implement Plan B? These people have no sense of joining forces at all."

For the gathering places of survivors who have some ability, the Flying Eagle Association will really unite and invite them to join the Blue Star Defense Line, which belongs to Plan A. However, for those gathering places of survivors who are more refugees than refugees, they will directly ignore them if they have no interests, and directly plunder them if they have interests. Belongs to plan B.

"Mr. Boyi has told us that we must be careful and careful in matters related to Dongguo, so as not to give them a reason to attack us again." The other party said.

"So we have to save them? How much resources will be wasted!"

"Who said I was going to save them?" The other party turned his head, his face looking extremely gloomy under the illumination of the searchlight above his head.

"Huh? You want to..."

"Dongguo knows this group of people, so we can't just take it and leave. What if one day Dongguo gets sick and returns to this place, and happens to meet these people? So we must do things absolutely. I just asked the number of people Not to think about how to take it away, but to make sure that no fish will slip through the net.

Remember to put a silencer on so you don't alert anyone else here. "

When the soldier heard this, he was silent for a moment. After a moment, he said harshly: "You are cruel."

He looked at the group of survivors below him who were kneeling before him and shouting words of gratitude. At this moment, he really felt a little pity.

He is the loving father.

When a small group of soldiers arrived, the survivors cheered as if they were seeing their relatives.

Until the muzzle of the gun emitted fire in the darkness, the cheers came to an abrupt end.

The miserable cry only lasted for a moment, and then completely disappeared in the darkness.

The river was still gurgling, and in the darkness, it was obviously dyed red, but it was not obvious.

Webb's head rose and fell in the blood-red river water.
