Chapter 128 When Fu Le returned to the cave with the team, he immediately saw the guards at the entrance. They all had rifles slung over their chests and their expressions were cold and stern, no different from the guards he had seen at the subway station before. If there was any difference, it was that they were guards from the apocalypse, and their eyes unconsciously revealed a murderous aura.
Lu Ze and his group also had guns, but they were all short-handled pistols, just like hers.
Lu Ze's team consisted of 25 people, including five children and four elderly people, all of whom were men. Fu Le was not surprised to see such a group. A good person would never abandon his family no matter what difficulties he faced.
The children and the elderly belong to our teammates.
Everyone was surprised to see that the team had brought back a girl, but no one rejected Fu Le.
"Let's get acquainted. This is Fu Le, and he'll be part of our team from now on." After Lu Ze spoke, everyone responded amicably and introduced themselves. Even the youngest boy, a four-year-old, introduced himself as Xiao Ai, Lin Xiao Ai, the son of one of the team members. His mother had died at the beginning of the disaster.
There were 25 people in total. They had four tents set up together, with a space in the middle for the people on duty to sit on stools and cushions.
“I have something for you. I told you, I would join you with supplies.” Fu Le found Lu Ze and showed his sincerity.
"Come with me." Lu Ze couldn't bring himself to refuse the supplies.
The tallest and largest tent could sleep six people, and Lu Ze called Yang Yan to come in with him.
When Fu Le went in, he saw floor mats and quilts all over the floor.
"Sorry, it's a bit messy, please bear with me."
Fu Le smiled, took off his backpack, and pulled out a large bag of medicine.
Lu Ze and Yang Yan, who had initially thought it was food, were stunned when they saw the supplies in the black plastic bag.
"Holy crap, this..."
"Shh!!" Lu Ze reacted quickly and covered Yang Yan's mouth.
"So much, are you going to give it all to us? Give us half, you don't know how valuable medicine is these days," Lu Ze said after thinking for a moment.
“Yes, this medicine is very valuable. This much is enough to keep you at the base for years without doing anything and just lying around.” Yang Yan felt it wasn’t worth giving them so much.
Fu Le shook his head. "Take them all. Consider this your payment for protecting me. My life is in your hands now."
Lu Ze and Yang Yan exchanged a glance and said nothing more. The three of them sorted the medicines inside, and even found cold medicine that could be used by children.
Lu Ze, who never showed his emotions, smiled and revealed his little tiger teeth.
After taking out a large bag of medicine, most of Fu Le's backpack sank in. He then took out a small bag of dried meat. "These are for you. It's not much, just a small token of my appreciation."
Yang Yan took it, her eyes sparkling. "Fu Le, I really don't know how to thank you enough. From now on, just stay with the team and we will all protect you."
"Everyone in the team is fine, don't worry," Lu Ze said.
"Thank you," Fu Le nodded.
The three looked at each other and smiled. This time, Fu Le had completely integrated into the team. When everyone learned of Fu Le's contributions, they were all so excited that their bodies trembled, and some even had tears in their eyes.
The value of so many medicines is incalculable in today's terms. In any case, it was all brought by Fu Le, whose selflessness shocked everyone.
For dinner, everyone ate cassava and white rice porridge with some minced meat and wild vegetables. They ate to their hearts' content. Fu Le was given a large bowl, but she poured out half of it. Although it wasn't bad, it wasn't delicious either. She didn't want to make her stomach suffer.
Fu Le slept with the other children and slept well. When she woke up, the adults were cleaning up the cassava. They greeted her with smiles, but Lu Ze and the other team members were not there.
Fu Le asked for half a glass of water and went outside to brush his teeth, which attracted the attention of people from other teams.
When she returned from her stroll outside, Lu Ze and the others were already back and cooking.
"You're back. We're all going out to find some more food later. Do you want to come with us?" Lu Ze spoke gently to Fu Le, his eyes filled with a smile.
"Then let's go together."
Lu Ze told them that although the government didn't provide food or drink, they did have reserves of supplies. In addition to supporting the government army, they could also exchange supplies for everyone, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Of course, they also had medicine, but it was extremely expensive, and none of them could afford the price. It's easy to imagine how important the medicine Fu Le brought was to them.
As usual, everyone was engrossed in digging for edible plant fruits in the mountains when suddenly, a heavy, unusual noise occurred.
Fu Le sensed it immediately, lay down and listened. "Such speed!" he exclaimed. "Get up, hurry down the mountain!"
Everyone: What?!
Lu Ze got up with Fu Le, and without asking why, immediately used the walkie-talkie to tell everyone to leave immediately.
While Lu Ze and his group were rushing down the mountain, the other teams were still a bit confused, but they all thought that Lu Ze had something important to do, so they turned around and continued working.
But there are also smart teams that prefer to follow in the footsteps of the strong.
"Captain, Captain Lu and the others are running back like madmen." A member of the team who had chatted with Fu Le earlier, who was closest to Lu Ze, noticed the situation and immediately notified the team leader.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a voice said, "Pack your things and retreat!"
Then another group of people rushed down the mountain.
Things can happen once or twice, but not a third time. And so, some teams began to realize something was wrong and started to retreat.
Just then, the forest suddenly darkened, as if something was blocking out the light.
And those who were bewildered and slow to react looked up, only to be crushed into meat patties by a giant foot that fell from the sky.
"Aaaaaaah!!! Mutant bear!!!!"
The six mutated bears, standing as tall as a three-story building, had four protruding fangs, each over half a meter long, covered in saliva, and their eyes were grayish-white.
On their way back, Fu Le and his group heard a deafening roar of beasts behind them.
"Don't look, run! It's a mutated bear!!!" Lu Ze noticed Fu Le looking back absentmindedly, so he immediately chased after him and pulled him forward.
Two weeks ago, he also encountered a mutated bear, but at that time the mutated bear was not yet an adult, less than two meters tall, and was a juvenile bear. Even so, he almost lost his life. Listening to this roar, it was not the same as before. Its wildness and ferocity had come out.
Bears are already strong, but after mutation, their strength and speed have increased hundreds of times. They also have an extreme craving for human flesh. Currently, no one still in the forest can escape their hunt; their speed is astonishing.
As they rushed back into the cave, the official manager happened to be talking to the guards at the entrance.
"Captain Lu, what happened to you guys? You look so disheveled."
“The mutated bears are from the mountain where we went to fetch water last time. There’s more than one.” Lu Ze gestured for Fu Le and the others to go in first, while he stayed behind to talk to the manager.
Fu Le carried the bucket of water inside and then walked out.
"Fu Le, where are you going?" Wang Qian noticed Fu Le's movements.
"Could you please make this convenient for me?"
"Oh, then come back quickly."
Fu Le nodded and left.
"Where did she go?" Yang Yan walked over and saw that Fu Le had gone out.
"convenient."
Yang Yan: ...
Fu Le wasn't going to relieve himself; he was simply heading to the scene of the incident.
She's going to try killing a bear.
If you can't use the kung fu you've learned in your original world, then use it here. After all, you're just idling around anyway.
When Lu Ze returned and didn't see Fu Le, he asked her again and received the same answer. He frowned but didn't say anything.
As soon as Fu Le left the cave, he took out his mechanical beast and sped up to the maximum speed. In less than three minutes, he arrived near the accident site. There were six giant, three-story-high ferocious bears. One swipe of their claws could kill a person. They could swat people as easily as playing whack-a-mole. Humans kept rushing out of the forest screaming in pain, only to be caught by the bears and swallowed whole.
Although they are robust and huge, they are agile and extremely fast, and can even leap into the air. When people are scattered, they can't catch them in time, so they will first slap or trample them to death, and then swallow them one by one. The gaps between their exposed thick lips are full of bright red flesh and blood, and their fangs are covered with blood. Some bears even use the sharp teeth on their paws to pick their teeth because human hair and clothes have stuck in their teeth.
Fu Le covered most of his face with a black scarf, took out a mortar with its own meson space, half-squatted on the mechanical beast and flew into the air. After finding the right angle, he fired a shot at the bear's face.
With a loud bang!
The black bear closest to her exploded in a cloud of blood mist, its head fragments scattered, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
The other bears, witnessing this, roared angrily, their gray eyes blazing with fire, and then leaped toward Fu Le's location, uprooting countless thick trees from the forest. It was this attack that gave the other survivors a chance to escape.
"The authorities are here to rescue you!! Run!!"
"Run!"
"Run! Run!"
Fu Le stomped on the speed booster lever with both feet, and several more shells were fired.
Boom... Boom... Bang bang...
From the survivor's perspective, the enraged black bear went mad, leaping and scratching at the large bird in the sky, roaring and howling in vain. But the bird was high above, in control of everything, calmly firing shell after shell.
After taking down four in a row, the remaining two finally regained some sense and, realizing they were no match for the enemy, howled and fled, their speed so fast they became a blur.
However, releasing tigers back into the mountains will only bring more casualties if they return, and Fu Le has no intention of letting them go.
They activated the mechanical beast, which shot out like a sharp arrow.
Boom... Bang bang...
The last two also succumbed to headshots, sending up two plumes of blood mist before their massive bodies collapsed with a deafening roar.
Because he had run quite far, Fu Le turned around and found that he could no longer see the original hilltop.
Fu Le drove the mechanical beast to the ground, added diesel fuel, tightened the strings, and made sure the mechanical beast was back to its peak condition before he breathed a sigh of relief, put it away, and approached the bear carcass.
'A mutated, brutal bear, non-toxic and radiation-free, feeds on flesh and blood. Its meat is edible and increases strength; its heart and gallbladder can be used medicinally to cleanse the body of toxins.'
Another good thing. It seems that all the mutated beasts on land are good stuff.
Fu Le put away the two bear corpses, then took out the mechanical beast and strolled around. Strangely, he didn't see any aliens nearby. Could the aliens all be water monsters?
At worst, this bear has simply mutated due to changes in its environment.
Fu Le set up a sofa in a flat spot in the forest, took a bath, and then started eating. Little did she know that Lu Ze and the others had already discovered she was missing and had come out to look for her.
He grilled over a dozen arm-length prawns over charcoal, then chopped half a squid tentacle, added minced garlic, cumin, olive oil, and chopped scallions, all sizzling and smelling delicious on the grill. He ate it with fruit until he was stuffed, then let out a satisfied burp, collapsed onto the sofa, and drifted off to sleep.
This was the first time she had ever seen a squid from the Forgotten Land. It looked like a sea monster, with each tentacle over ten meters long and as thick as a wrist. Even though she needed to eat a lot to train, she easily ate until she was stuffed.
While Fu Le was eating to his heart's content, the survivors from the scene of the incident had already boldly returned to the forest and begun to dissect the bear carcass and cut the meat into pieces. Even though the bear skin was thick, it couldn't withstand the knives of some people, and the quality was really good.
“Brother, this is the biggest piece of meat on the rump, it’s yours. You’ll use your knife to cut the bear meat.”
"Hey, I want it here, the bear paw! I want the bear paw! I was the one who suggested coming back, and you all just got back. It's all thanks to me that you get to eat meat. You can't take the bear paw from me..."
"Here you go, here you go. It's just bear paws, right? There are four. You can have one, and we'll divide the rest among ourselves..."
The four headless bear carcasses, from skin to flesh, were thoroughly devoured by several teams of survivors; the internal organs, however, were left unattended.
However, after these people left, several smaller teams appeared. Some took the bear bones to make soup, while others, who knew what they were doing, took the bear's gallbladder. As for the other internal organs, even if they were edible, they couldn't bring themselves to eat them without water. Besides, the bear had eaten people, and its belly was full of human flesh, so they couldn't bring themselves to eat it.
I don't know how the survivors in other places are doing, but in any case, the survivors at the base are all normal, and no one is interested in cannibalism.
After resting enough, Fu Le rode his mechanical beast back. After passing through the forest, he saw a bear carcass, which had no bones left, only a pile of internal organs.
Fu Le: ...
Is this what they call "plucking feathers from a passing goose"? They don't even leave a single feather behind.
But, is the heart still there?
Fu Le was quite interested in bear hearts; four hearts the size of basketballs could be used to make a lot of pills—it was a valuable resource.
As it turned out, she made the right decision to come down; all four hearts were intact.
“It wasn’t a waste of time, this is good stuff, good stuff…” After putting away the bear heart, Fu Le walked back.
As soon as Fu Le left the woods, he saw a familiar face. Lu Ze, who was leading the group, had a dark expression and his eyes were blazing with anger.
Fu Le: ...What a coincidence! It's someone I know!
Why do I feel a little guilty?
