Chapter 97 The mantis stalks the cicada
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun walked towards the depths of the orchard. They were sure that there was a herd of black goats hiding in the forest.
The lamb was only about one month old, so it must have been born after the natural disaster began. There must have been a ewe. There was no place to raise animals in the yard, which meant the sheep came from outside.
The orchard is very large and the fruit trees are planted densely.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, Yu Duoduo spotted a black figure with his sharp eyes!
It was a black goat, with its head tilted back, chewing an apple hanging from a tree!
Yu Duoduo was overwhelmed with surprise. Seeing Xie Yun about to step forward to shoot, but was stopped by her, she whispered:
"Wait a little longer, maybe it can lead us to its lair!"
Then the two of them squatted aside, staring at the black goat eating the apple. Yu Duoduo felt hungry, so he picked one and planned to wipe it on his clothes before eating it.
Xie Yun stopped him. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed it and handed it to him, "At least wash it."
Yu Duoduo smiled foolishly and was about to take the water bottle when he heard a bang in the distance, startling a flock of birds!
It's gunfire!
The black goat was startled, and one of its hind legs was hit. Then three bullets landed around it, just a few meters away from Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun...
The two of them immediately leaned forward and lay on the ground, holding their heads and observing the movement in front of them.
Fortunately, I didn't go forward, otherwise they would have been shot.
I don’t know if the other party noticed that there were people here. You should know that it is illegal to carry guns in China. The person who is shooting goats outside at this moment cannot be a policeman...
If it's a gang member...
As I thought of this, I suddenly saw a shadow in front of me leap past...
The black goat that was shot did not fall down. It dropped the apple that had been eaten into crumbs in its mouth, and ran away very quickly, limping ~ using its other three legs to run in another direction.
As it moved, gunshots rang out again, and the sound gradually moved away from this side, following the direction the goat escaped.
“That was…”
"Shotgun!"
The two looked at each other. This thing has a very long range. The general effective range can reach 100-400 meters.
It’s a good thing I didn’t rush forward to catch the sheep, otherwise, who knows who would have been hit by the shot!
Xie Yun was about to persuade Yu Duoduo not to take risks, but when he looked up, he saw her excited expression, "You..."
"Do you want hot weapons?" Yu Duoduo smiled cunningly, which stunned Xie Yun.
"Are you not afraid of death?"
“If we go any further, we will really die without hot weapons!
Those people are most likely gang members.
Once chaos breaks out outside, our enemies will be these thugs with guns, who will put their heads to your chests and force you to hand over the food you have secured!
That’s when we should be really scared!” Yu Duoduo suddenly said seriously.
Although there are several pistols in her space, the range of the pistols is limited after all, only between 50-100 meters, and can only be used to kill people at close range.
"Then what are you going to do?" Xie Yun asked since the person on the other side was holding a gun.
Yu Duoduo smiled and pointed at the spot where the black goat had gnawed the apple, leaving a pool of blood. "Follow the prey, how can you not find the hunter?"
Xie Yun frowned, and after some inner struggle, he finally looked into Yu Duoduo's eyes and compromised.
Naturally, he believed what Yu Duoduo said.
In his previous life, he had always stayed in the rescue team, had no worries about food and drink, and could often attend upper-class dinners and cocktail parties. His life was almost the same as before the end of the world. He had heard about the looting and killing in society, but had never experienced it personally.
But in this life, it’s only been a month since the end of the world began, and I have already felt how dangerous the outside world is. Without sufficient ability to protect myself, I will really die!
"Be careful and don't act rashly!" Xie Yun said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't die so early!"
Yu Duoduo handed the steel crossbow given by Wei Dong to Xie Yun, and took out a large bag of sharpened chopsticks and put them in his side pocket.
"What about you?" Xie Yun asked, looking at the crossbow in his hand.
Yu Duoduo took out a smaller steel crossbow from his bag, "I have one too!"
This is exactly the gun that Tong Zi used when hunting turkeys that day. Yu Duoduo exchanged it for two high-power car power supplies!
For Tong Zi, electricity is much more useful than a steel crossbow! After all, a boyfriend is a weapons arsenal, so just make another one!
Then the two of them followed the bloodstains and footprints dripping on the ground and moved forward carefully.
The gunshots didn't stop, but the intervals between them became longer.
Yu Duoduo and the other person followed the blood trail into the woods for a long time. When they walked out of the orchard, the trees outside suddenly became tall and thick, making them more suitable for hiding!
But as soon as they entered the woods and hadn't walked far, the bloodstains stopped abruptly, and even the gunshots stopped.
Yu Duoduo was suddenly pulled by Xie Yun to squat behind a big tree, shush——
Then Xie Yun handed over a pair of binoculars and pointed to the large earthen slope in front.
There was a small stone cave under the big earth slope, and a century-old tree was lying in front of it. Looking through the telescope, I could clearly see a large group of black balls curled up in the cave! They were black goats!
Yu Duoduo and the others were still quite some distance away from the cave, estimated to be about 300 meters away. The weapons they had in their hands were far from being lethal.
Now they just need to wait for the hunters to arrive, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Since he had given the telescope to Yu Duoduo, Xie Yun waited quietly on the side, observing the surrounding environment with his naked eyes.
Yu Duoduo stared at the goats, and at this moment a bold idea was quietly sprouting in his mind -
I wonder if what we see through the telescope can be collected by space?
After all, there were quite a few goats in the cave. Even if she and Xie Yun could catch them all, how to bring them back was a problem, and how to store the raw meat was another problem!
While she was thinking this, a group of people quietly walked into the range of the telescope. There were eight strong men, dressed strangely, and each of them had a gun in his hand!
Just as Yu Duoduo thought, it was indeed a long-handled shotgun.
Seeing those people getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, she frowned and silently chanted in her heart: Black goat~collect!
Ha! In the blink of an eye, all the sheep disappeared within the telescope's range!
"Are they coming?" Xie Yun asked in a low voice.
Yu Duoduo quickly returned the telescope to him and nodded.
While Xie Yun was using the telescope to observe the distance, Yu Duoduo quickly scanned the space with his mind to check whether the goat that had just disappeared from sight had entered the space intact.
Sure enough, she found their dark silhouettes in the orchard outside the earth building! She counted them and found 28 black balls! Wow!
Yu Duoduo almost jumped for joy!
"Their people are preparing to enter the cave to catch sheep. We can slowly get closer." Xie Yun's voice brought Yu Duoduo back to reality.
"good!"
The enemy was in the open while they were in the dark, which was an advantage, but not complete... After all, the enemy had guns in their hands, eight of them!
Then we have to fight in waves!
The key is to hit the target in one go, without giving the opponent a chance to resist, and certainly not giving the person being hit a chance to make a sound!
Otherwise, their whereabouts would be exposed, and they would become very passive and dangerous.
The two moved quickly in the woods, and thanks to the rustling sound of the rain, the sound of their footsteps seemed insignificant.
First move to a position 200 meters away from the cave entrance, observe, and then move to a position 100 meters away...
The effective range of the steel crossbow designed by Wei Dong is 50-100 meters. To be on the safe side, the two moved forward another 50 meters!
