Chapter 34 Hunting
The car arrived at the north gate, and soldiers from the army came to inspect.
Shi Lei showed his ID and was quickly let in.
Zhao Liang sat in the passenger seat and kept talking.
"Tsk tsk! Every time I see this wall I am amazed. People hundreds of years ago were really amazing. They were able to build such a big city while fighting monsters. If there were no such wall, I am afraid my grandfather would not have been born into this world, let alone me."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "This city wall is indeed very important."
"Of course it is important. Look at the bones of the mutant beasts under the city wall. Those white ashes are all left over from the burning of monsters when they attacked the city. Unfortunately, since I became a warrior, I have never experienced a monster attack on the city. Thinking about the scene of monsters covering the sky and the earth, I can't help but want to roar to the sky!"
Lin Zhen looked around and found that although the city wall was getting farther and farther away, the soil within a hundred meters below the wall was all white. In fact, that was not soil, but the ashes left after the monster's corpse was burned. Occasionally, some larger bones could be seen scattered among them.
A monster attacking a city is a very terrifying thing, but over the years, the defense of the base city has become more and more perfect. In order to survive, humans have tried every possible way to strengthen the defense. Although monster attacks have occurred countless times over the past few hundred years, these large base cities have never fallen.
After the car left the base city, it did not immediately enter the wilderness area. As the warriors had been out hunting for a long time, it was difficult to see traces of monsters in the area near the base city. Two hundred kilometers to the north was the northern satellite city, Mudan City.
Mudan City was originally called Mudanjiang, but it is no longer at its original location in the AD period. After the disaster, the people of Mudanjiang migrated on a large scale, and only after they gained a foothold here did they gradually develop and become a satellite city in the north.
From Mudan City further north, there are no large human cities in China.
As the car got closer to the northern Mudan City, the surrounding scenery gradually changed.
There is also grayish-white dust here, and the amount is no less than that in Ice City. Because satellite cities are often the first to be attacked, every time a monster attacks a city, the battle here is also fierce.
And if you look up at the sky, you can even occasionally see mutant birds flying by.
Zhao Liang saw Lin Zhen looking at the sky and smiled, "Don't worry about those small mutant birds. There are no large mutant bird flocks around here. They are usually sporadic F-level mutant birds such as sparrows and swallows. Gao Yan will easily deal with them."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "I'm not worried. We are the last car and we have mutant beasts and the captain and others blocking us."
"Haha, that's right, now the two of us are just there to make up the story."
The car drove about another twenty miles when a gunshot was heard from the front.
I saw a huge swallow with a wingspan of almost two feet falling headfirst from the sky.
"Gao Yan fired the gun. Did you see it? He shot it in the head. Even though it was an F-class mutant, it was at high altitude. This guy's sniper rifle is superb. If we fight head-on, I will definitely beat him. If we keep a distance of several hundred meters, he can knock down three of my kind."
Zhao Liang said this and saw that Lin Zhen didn't respond. He seemed to remember something and said, "Lin Zhen, this is your first time out hunting, right?"
"Yeah, it's the first time."
"I'm telling you, you don't quite understand the levels of mutant beasts, right? Let me tell you, after swallows, sparrows, frogs, geckos, mice, rabbits, small fish, chickens, ducks, geese and the like mutate, they become F-level mutant beasts. Individually, these creatures are very weak, so we can usually handle them easily. But if they form a large scale, they're very scary. For example, if there are too many mice and they form a rat tide, that would be a disaster, and we'd have to run as far away as possible."
"Things like sheep, pigs, cats, small snakes, and small pet dogs, after they mutate, become E-level creatures. These kinds of creatures are not that difficult to deal with."
"But for example, large dogs, cows, horses, relatively large birds, roe deer, deer, etc., if they mutate, they will be difficult to deal with. Those are all considered D-level."
"There are also wolves, owls, leopards, wild boars and the like, which are considered C-level. They are more difficult to deal with, and we usually have to work together to deal with them when we encounter them."
"The giant-palmed bear we're dealing with this time is a B-level mutant. In addition to bears, tigers, lions, rhinos, crocodiles, elephants, etc. are all considered B-level, but we rarely see rhinos and elephants here. If we encounter a B-level one, we have to run away. We can only try our luck if it's injured and weakened."
"It's even harder to see an A-level one. Those are guys that have undergone secondary mutations from various populations. For example, the Ten Thousand Enemies in Xiaoxing'anling is a big tiger that has evolved twice after devouring too much flesh and blood. If you want to deal with that guy, you must have a team of war gods."
Lin Zhen asked, "What about above level A?"
"That's S-level, SS-level, and the highest SSS-level. However, those things are basically not on land, but giant beasts in the ocean. It is said that the destruction of Japan in the AD calendar was caused by a group of giant marine beasts. Whether it's war gods or nuclear bombs, they are powerless against those monsters."
"Yes, I know this. It is said that giant octopuses as big as hills and humpback whales as big as warships can all come ashore, but they can't stay there for too long, otherwise humanity would have been completely destroyed."
"You know that too. Ah! Judging from my memory, you graduated from high school, so you must have learned these things. I am being too nosy."
"That's a good point. It made me review my textbook knowledge, haha."
While the two were chatting, the car finally arrived at Mudan City.
The population of Mudan City is about three million. The city wall is not as high as that of Ice City, but it is still majestic. The Demon Hunter team's car passed through the city.
Zhao Liang said: "There are very few monsters near the city now, but once there are more monsters nearby, it may be a precursor to the monsters attacking the city. At that time, martial law will be imposed, and it will be difficult to enter the city."
Enter from the South Gate, walk through the bustling streets of Mudan City, and then exit from the North Gate.
"We can speed up after leaving Mudan City. In another 200 miles, we will reach Yilan County. It has never been completely conquered by humans, and there are many high-level monsters there. Wow! Lots of money! Here I come!"
Zhao Liang was laughing, and Lin Zhen was also laughing, but he found that there were still a lot of vehicles leaving the city, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Gradually, Zhao Liang also noticed something different: "Why are there so many cars heading to Yilan? I saw several cars of warrior teams I know. Are they all going to Yilan?"
With doubts, the convoy continued to move forward. When it finally approached the edge of Yilan, the nearby vehicles were almost lined up in a row, and the car in front also stopped.
"Why did you stop? We are still some distance away from Yilan."
Lin Zhen and Zhao Liang got out of the car and saw that there were many soldiers setting up checkpoints in the distance. Many cars had already parked there, and there were even many people queuing in the distance, as if they were entering in order.
"Why are there military personnel? And there are so many cars here, what's going on?" Zhao Liang's face looked a little unhappy. So many people were coming towards Yilan, maybe the matter of the human-bear had been leaked.
Shi Lei came down, Gao Yan and Ye Tiancheng also came down, and several people gathered together.
"Captain, what happened up ahead?"
"I don't know. Let's go over and take a look, but I have a bad feeling." Shi Lei's face also looked a little unhappy.
Lin Zhen didn't say anything and followed a few people. However, he knew very well in his heart that the news about the giant-palmed man-bear must have been leaked. Even someone like Shi Lei, who was not considered a strong general, could get the news. It was normal for others to know it as well.
Several people walked forward and came to the military checkpoint.
