As the night progressed, the sergeants and militiamen who had slept on the city wall after dinner woke up one after another and returned to their original posts.
Wei Ling and others also gathered together from different directions on the city wall and sat around the city wall.
The sky is blue, and the stars are as bright as the sea, full of bright starlight.
Since most of the mutant beasts had been killed, Welling did not ask the children to go to the underground shelter. Anyway, there were no more threats.
The slave was a little confused:
"Looking at the videos of you hunting mutant beasts, brother, I feel that those animals are both hateful and pitiful. Why do they come to attack humans?"
Li Lingyou explained casually:
"Look, the mutant beasts we killed were mainly apes, bears, and forest wolves. They were all omnivores or carnivores. They probably thought that humans were also their food, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered like this."
Xuan Ming has an analysis:
"Is it possible that this is the case? Look, there are two to three hundred such mutant beasts gathered in this small area. Correspondingly, isn't their food enough?
So the thousands of people in this small county are a huge temptation to them? "Xuan Ming's analysis made several people nod secretly,
Welling thought for a moment and came up with an idea:
"Well, what Xuan Ming sees is the result, not the cause. In fact, we should see another possibility, that is, is the degree of animal mutation increasing faster now?
Are the numbers increasing?
Is some mechanism between heaven and earth changing day by day? "
Everyone understood the implication of Welling's words at once, which meant that the number of mutant beasts would be greater in the future, and perhaps a real beast tide would eventually form.
"There are also larger animals, especially those in the ocean. Once those huge animals mutate and even master some water attributes, humans will even lose the ocean.
On land, in the southern region, giant anacondas, large crocodiles, hippos, and elephants, these large animals, have mutated and their abilities pose a considerable threat to humans;
There have always been birds of prey in the sky. Birds of prey such as vultures and golden eagles that have not mutated have very large wingspans. If they mutate, the sky will become more dangerous. "
Nanxing and Jinu's expressions were very complicated:
"Could it be that we humans can only live underground in the future?"
Li Lingyou is very optimistic:
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Human monks and warlocks will also become stronger day by day. In terms of military affairs, such as the empire, weapons of mass destruction are no joke. In terms of organization, coordination and strategy, humans still crush animals."
Wei Ling smiled and nodded:
"Yes, Shibaro's point of view is correct. We don't have to worry about these. Human beings will eventually be the most powerful, but locally and individually, we will face more threats from animals."
Xie Wuyi smiled and teased Nan Xing:
"For example, Nan Xing, if you are a mid-level warlock and can convert into an energy body at any time, you will be the king in the forest. No mutated and ferocious animals can resist your life-draining and decay! Haha, are you looking forward to it?"
"Well, I'm looking forward to it very much, but I won't kill them without permission unless they eat people." Nan Xing was a little shy and excited.
"Yes, everything in the world has its own way of survival. All species compete, and the laws of heaven run and complement each other. We pay attention to and protect all the beauty in this world!"
Wei Ling stood up, his heart filled with pride.
The night wind blows, and the handle of the bucket hangs down.
From the forest in the distance, a sad and long howl of wolves could be heard, and the sound gradually faded away.
Until early in the morning, those mutated beasts still did not come outside the city to provoke attacks.
The sergeants and militiamen on the city wall were somewhat relaxed.
"Did we kill them all?"
Xie Wuyi was a little unsure.
"It should be like this. Every thing hurts its own kind. They left more than two hundred corpses of the same kind in this circular area near the county seat.
The few of us completed such a hunt in such a short period of time. Since they have certain intelligence, they will naturally be afraid. "
Yang Xiaohe's analysis makes sense.
"Also, they are all cannibals. The remaining mutant beasts must be full after eating the corpses of their own kind.
At the same time, I am also afraid. More importantly, there will be no survival crisis for the remaining mutant beasts in this large area. "
Wei Ling's analysis made Xie Wuyi somewhat unwilling:
"How about we go out and look for it again?"
"Okay! You might as well go and have a look!"
After asking the four children to pay attention, the five people jumped off the city wall again and ran towards the forest.
In fact, the five of them all had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they all wanted to find the monkey carrying the individual launcher.
In the forest late at night, neither the stars nor the moonlight can penetrate the lush canopy of trees, making it darker and darker.
Li Lingyou, Xie Wuyi and Yang Xiaohe's detection methods were limited, so they did not deliberately separate.
The forest was very quiet, lifeless.
The five people followed the original hunting route and found that most of the corpses had disappeared or were torn into pieces. The wreckage could be seen everywhere. The faint smell of blood had not completely dissipated, and no mutant beast could be seen anymore.
The five of them tried to move further and draw a larger circle.
During the process, they also killed a few mutant beasts that slipped through the net in a hurry, but none of them found the two monkeys that caused the air accident.
But it’s normal to think about it.
As expected, this siege was probably the work of the monkeys, whose degree of mutation and intelligence must be far superior to those of the same kind.
Once danger is discovered, its escape must be straightforward and rapid.
Finally, in the dim light of morning, they returned to the city wall.
Du Ruo was overjoyed to receive the information from Wei Ling and others and went to discuss the cleanup work with the county magistrate.
When the morning light first appeared, hundreds of people gradually walked onto the ground and began to clean up the ruins of the city.
By around three o'clock in the afternoon, four black spots appeared in the sky above the county seat.
Those were four military "Blue Bird" vehicles in formation.
Standing on the city wall and looking up, the streamlined ion-propelled aircraft emits a faint blue light. The dark hull and special gray animal patterns are clearly visible. The huge hull gives people a sense of intimidation as if it is blocking the sky.
A white damaged Blue Bird has been parked in the ruins of the city, which can no longer accommodate four such medium-sized vehicles.
The search force of the Western Wasteland Army has arrived.
Four Blue Birds were dispatched, which was a bit beyond Welling's expectation. Originally, he expected that two vehicles of the same level full of sergeants would come over, but he did not expect that there would be four.
There was only one "Blue Bird" docked near the "White Pheasant" in the city, and the other three ships docked in several open places outside the city.
The dark hatch opened, and the military commander of the Western Wasteland Army, General Wang Jueming, the captain, strode out.
Wei Ling, Yang Xiaohe and Li Lingyou looked at each other with smiles, knowing that this was inevitable.
Since they have dispatched four "Blue Birds" full of sergeants, it is normal for General Wang to appear here.
Just kidding, the niece of the Empress of the Empire, if there is any good, Jiayuan County is still in the garrison area of the Western Wasteland Army. No matter how many heads General Wang has, it is probably not enough.
At a glance, General Wang saw Xie Wuyi and others standing behind Lu Yingduruo and others, and his expression became obviously relaxed, and he actually smiled a little.
When Xie Wuyi saw the figures in mysterious clothes following General Wang, he nodded.
Not surprisingly, those three must be Xie Wuyi's bodyguards.
Xie Wuyi's headache was how to explain that the vehicle would make an emergency landing in this small, remote county.
The three of them were relieved when they saw Xie Clan's daughter with all her beard and tail.
Fortunately, Lu Ying's actions relieved Miss Wudi's embarrassment.
The county magistrate Lu Ying faced General Wang, bowed and threw out an information packet that he had compiled long ago.
The data volume of this information packet is very large.
It covers the discovery, development and follow-up of the incident, the corresponding visual images, preliminary statistical data, the measures and results of Welling and others' assistance in defense...
With General Wang's ability, when faced with such an information package, he hesitated for two or three seconds before nodding with a smile and passing the information package to other people behind him:
"Thank you, Magistrate Lu, for your hard work. I am personally satisfied with your response. Of course, as for the relevant departments of the Prime Minister's Office's handling of you and the emergency command of the Western Wasteland Army to Du Ruo, there will be detailed evaluations that will follow... Don't Nervous, you guys did a great job.”
Lu Ying and Du Ruo both breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, General Wang and Lu Ying conducted more handovers, and the Xihuang Army temporarily took over the city. General Wang sent more sergeants to search the surrounding areas and eliminate hidden dangers.
Finally, General Wang walked up to Xie Wuyi, Wei Ling and others with a smile on his face:
"Miss Wuyi, Shiba Lang, Young Master Yang, and Wei Ling, you have done a great favor to Jiayuan County. Without your help, the losses here would have been even greater last night."
"Your Majesty Wang, you are overly complimentary. We are meeting at the right time and it is our duty to do so."
Xie Wuyi replied with a smile.
"Very good. Although you are not active sergeants, I will still ask for credit from Yasi, haha... Let's do this. In one hour, we will go to the imperial capital.
On the one hand, I am sending you to the Imperial Capital.
On the other hand, some sergeants were sacrificed and the network was interrupted. I had to go to the Taiwei Mansion in the imperial capital to report in person.
Third, regarding the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiayuan County, it is estimated that Lu Ying will need to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Three things to do together! "
"Thank you so much, General Wang!"
All five people bowed and saluted.
"What are you grateful for? I have to thank you. If the loss of personnel in Jiayuan County is too great, where can I put my face? Fortunately, you have magically appeared here, haha."
Perhaps the development of things did exceed General Wang's expectations.
What was originally thought to be a big deal turned into such an unexpected event. Not only was there no fault, but it was meritorious.
In addition, the characters who must not have any trouble were safe and sound, so General Wang was in a good mood.
He even forgot that there were cases where the county magistrate died in the line of duty and several sergeants died in the line of duty. It was not a taboo for laughter. If someone with a heart saw it, it would indeed be inappropriate.
Perhaps because he knew there was no Internet, General Wang was in a very relaxed state:
"The five of you are all from our Western Wasteland Legion, and I feel a sense of co-prosperity."
The guard was a little ashamed. He had always been a militiaman. Although he could be considered to be under the Western Wasteland Army system, he did not join the Western Wasteland Army, which was a pity.
Wei Ling was also a little ashamed. He went directly from the reserve militia to the staff group, and then played a guest role in the Western Expeditionary Army for a period of time. It was still a bit inappropriate to say that he was from the Western Wasteland Army.
After thanking her again, Xie Wuyi smiled at her three guards and threw out the message:
"Grandpa Xinshi, Uncle Huangqin, Uncle Achyranthes, this is an accident. Don't say anything more when you return to the palace."
Xinshi is a high-level warlock. He is relatively old and his hair on his forehead is completely white. He replied with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the lady is safe, nothing will happen, haha."
Skullcap looked a little younger, a little chubby, and shook his head slightly:
"Haha, miss, your car overturned this time. Don't do it next time. Uncle Huang's little heart can't stand such a fright."
Achyranthes is a fighting sergeant who is good at ordnance and control. He has a strong body and a loyal appearance:
"Miss, I will accompany you next time, don't leave us alone.
How could such a good White Pheasant be shot down? I can’t figure it out. "
Xie Wuyi felt a little guilty and glared at Li Lingyou who was secretly happy:
"Well, okay, Uncle Achyranthes, we are going back to the Imperial Capital together later. You go check the White Pheasant and count which parts are damaged.
When we return to the Imperial Capital, we will arrange to transport it back for repairs and reinforce the vehicle again. We must pay special attention to the protection of the power area...
By the way, let’s change the painting by the way. The interior decoration should be more mature this time. I will give you the color and style when the time comes. "
