Chapter 108 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 19

Inside the yurt enclosed by sheet metal, there are about a dozen people living there. They are all on duty and take turns every week. This is not the core area of ​​the nomadic tribe, but rather a sentry post in front of the nomadic tribe.

Zhang Xiaya and his group of twenty people were all superhumans, ranging from level two to level three. They were all elites of the tribe. This outpost was the closest to the tribe and the most important, so many people were stationed there. There were about ten similar outposts here.

Since communication was inconvenient here, the ancient method of using beacon fires to transmit messages was adopted. Beacon towers were set up at the outposts, and when something important happened, the beacon fires were lit, and black smoke billowed into the sky, so that the nomadic tribes in the distance could immediately know the news.

Once inside the yurt, the two young men sitting there blushed instantly upon seeing Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu, avoiding eye contact with her. They quietly started boiling water. Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu sat down on the beautifully embroidered cushions, declining Zhang Xiaya's offer and saying they weren't hungry.

Zhang Xiaya thought they were just being shy, after all, in this day and age, food was more valuable than life, but their nomadic tribe did indeed have a considerable amount of food stored up.

The main problem is that there are many cattle and sheep on the grasslands, and some of them have mutated, becoming irritable and harming shepherds and other sheep or cattle, so the shepherds kill them.

The meat was dried and made into beef jerky or dried mutton. There were too many such mutations. The more they killed, the more crystal cores they obtained, and the stronger their overall strength became. They also left behind a lot of mutated beef and mutton. At this time, no one would complain about the taste. As long as they could fill their stomachs, it was good.

Another point is that there are few people on the grasslands, and the large markets with large crowds have basically all been infected. Only tens of thousands of people have survived, and the nomadic tribes are composed of these tens of thousands of people.

As a result, there was barely enough food. Some mutated cattle and sheep ran away and became huge after mutation. A second-tier mutated cow was as big as two cars. Their nomadic tribe would unite with about fifty second-tier and above ability users to hunt them. The success rate was usually very high, so there was never a shortage of meat.

Luo Shu discovered that the probability of humans becoming superhumans in this nomadic tribe was very high. Judging from Zhang Xiaya's words, most of the people in their tribe were superhumans, and their levels were very similar. It was clear that the tribe was well-managed and the members were quite united.

A deep horn sounded outside, and Zhang Xiaya immediately stood up. He looked at the beautiful young girl and asked shyly, "Would you like to watch us hunt?"

The horn outside is a signal that a mutated animal has been discovered. As soon as the horn sounds, there is a rustling sound from the tent next to it, and the people inside wake up.

Zhao Qingshu nodded, and Luo Shu also nodded slightly. Then the young Tibetan man led Luo Shu and the others outside.

There were already about twenty people standing outside, all young and strong men, wearing Tibetan robes and standing tall. When they saw Luo Shu coming, their faces turned a little red.

This girl is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the celebrities I saw on TV before the apocalypse. Her elegance and grace are captivating.

A large group of people headed towards the direction from which the horn had sounded, leaving only two staff members on duty behind. The rest of them followed, while Luo Shu and her companions strolled leisurely behind.

Upon arriving at our destination, which was very close, only about 500 meters away, we saw a sheep the size of a small car. Its horns were curved and looked incredibly strong. Its wool was covered in dirt, and its eyes were red, clearly indicating that it had mutated. Its thick hooves pawed at the grass, kicking up clouds of dust.

The people who first discovered the mutated animal were already exhausted from fighting it. When they saw Zhang Xiaya and the others arrive, they managed a weak smile and retreated.

When the mutated giant sheep saw that the people who had been bothering it were gone, it became even more agitated and charged at the group with its huge horns raised on its head.

These Tibetan men were clearly used to dealing with such situations, and they cooperated very well. The plant-type ability user forced wild grass to grow, and the supple grass leaves wrapped around the sheep's hooves. The earth-type ability user turned the ground under the sheep's feet into sand, causing it to sink in. Once the sheep's four hooves were in, the water-type ability user poured all the water onto the wool, making the wool even thicker. The sheep thrashed about in agitation, but it was helpless in the face of its current situation.

Then the other superhumans kept attacking it, and soon the sheep was covered in wounds and on the verge of death. These people cooperated very well, and they successfully took down such a large mutated animal without losing a single soldier.

Humans are an intelligent species!

Generally speaking, a fourth-tier ability user can defeat a third-tier mutated plant or animal or a zombie. At the same level, ability users are weaker, as if it is a punishment imposed by the world for the long-standing dissatisfaction with humans being at the top of the food chain. Therefore, Luo Shu was very impressed that these people were able to deal with a third-tier mutated sheep so quickly.

Zhao Qingshu nodded coldly. This group was much stronger than the rabble at the Glorious Base. No wonder this nomadic tribe, with only ten or twenty thousand people, had been able to hold on. They really had something.

Zhang Xi and his group remained vigilant until they were certain the sheep was completely dead. A metal-type ability user manipulated a long metal rod to pierce the sheep's head, and only after confirming that everything was alright did the group gather around.

They took out a homemade cart, and the strength-type ability user carried the sheep onto the cart and pushed it towards the yurt.

It's autumn now, but the grasslands are still very hot during the day, with a large temperature difference between day and night. The mutton needs to be processed quickly to prevent it from spoiling.

Back inside the yurt, Zhang Xiaya lit the beacon fire. Different smoke signals indicated that people would soon be sent to retrieve the sheep and bring them some supplies.

The valiant young men who had just fought bravely now became shy, lovestruck boys in front of Luo Shu. They looked up shyly at the beautiful girl in front of them, who was as beautiful as if she were still alive. How could they not yearn for her?

The fight between the sheep and the group of people made Luo Shu sense something very strange. She was somewhat distracted and couldn't wait to go and see for herself.

They politely declined Zhang Xiaya's invitation, saying they were going to drive around the area to enjoy the scenery and would be back soon. Seeing that they were only leaving briefly, Zhang Xiaya did not try to stop them, but told them to be sure to come back that night.

Zhao Qingshu drove the car, following his king's command, straight towards the heart of the grassland. He also felt the suppression he hadn't felt in a long time. What exactly was this alien species that was even higher in rank than him?

Moreover, this grassland is very strange. The people here are much stronger than those in the Glorious Base. Is it because they are blessed with natural advantages? Or is there some mysterious force interfering with the course of this apocalypse?

They're going to investigate thoroughly.
