Chapter 718
Soon after their return, they began to persuade the nearby villages to come and build houses here, because this place is the closest place to live in where the mushrooms grow.
Therefore, everyone has no opinion on choosing this place. The most important thing is their trust in the army from the capital. It is similar to the construction of Wu Yu's side before. After finishing here, the captain still left four teams here. Carry out daily management and protection, and sometimes help them go hunting.
They didn't know if it was a coincidence or the normality here, but they found that the mutated animals here were of the same species, and they all liked to wander in flat and wide areas, and they didn't like places near mountains.
That's why the place where the villagers live has always been relatively safe. The only troublesome thing is that if they want to hunt, they have to go to a relatively far place.
This caused the time to go back and forth along the way to be longer than their hunting time, but this is also something that can't be helped, even if it is used at a fast speed, there is no way to reduce the time.
Therefore, the hunting time is generally controlled within three hours, otherwise there is really no way to rush back to the village before dark, but this is also beneficial, because the mutated animals here gather together and cannot hunt every time too much.
If you hunt too much, it will cause a rebound. In this way, it will be over by then, so they still know it very well, and they will go back every time they hunt less than five.
I come here every day, so that the whole village can still have a surplus of food, and the surplus is put in the cave dug out on the snow mountain to store meat, which is considered insurance.
Although it was very busy at the beginning, once it was on track, everything was very simple.
Everything here starts from scratch, so it took a long time longer than Wu Yu's, especially helping other villages move to this place is really a waste of effort.
It took about a month for the captain to take the remaining four teams to the last group of villages with horned eagles. Although someone had sent the news over half a month in advance, he also brought the news back. .
But the perfunctory attitude on the letter brought back by the other party really made the captain feel that there may not be any good things waiting for him this time, but he has already sat down and is busy preparing for another month, and he is here. It was a bit of a surprise afterwards.
Because although the villages here are not as good as Wu Yu's, all the villages have gathered spontaneously to a place where the mushrooms grow, which is very suitable for all of them to live in, and they have begun to develop and build houses, and fences, etc. The most important thing is that there are still people leading here, and it really looks like a leader.
But they took a closer look at the back of the horned sculpture. The leader standing on the side was holding a piece of paper in his hand, talking to the people around him constantly, pointing at the paper from time to time, and then the person standing on the side Just use a loudspeaker to tell them to go faster. Although their current height is very high from the ground, they can still be heard with a loudspeaker.
Seeing such a scene, the people sitting on the horn sculptures all thought of the scene they had seen on TV before, when the pharaohs of ancient Egypt built the pyramids, it seems to be the same?
A few high-class people stood aside and pointed fingers, while the people below were all slaves who participated in the construction. They had no autonomy and relied on the master's charity for everything.
The current situation does not seem so serious, but it is also not very pleasant to look at. After all, they can see from the back of the horned eagle that there are old people and children among the people participating in the labor, and some of them are tired and paralyzed. But he still didn't go to the side to rest. If it looked a little bit worse, it would be like purgatory on earth.
Tang Ming patted the horned eagle, and the horned eagle yelled directly. The people below quickly looked up. The people who were still bossing around just now were startled, and quickly rushed to the place where the horned eagle landed. past.
Same as before, Tang Ming was still sitting on the side watching them, Tang Tianlan and the others were still standing behind as before, pretending that they didn't exist, and all communication was to let the captain pass by.
The team leader looked at the fat middle-aged man, and said, "Have all the small villages in this group gathered here? What were they doing just now?"
"Hello, hello, I am the temporary village head of this village. I was elected by everyone. I just built the village we will live in according to your requirements. I don't know... Is there any problem?"
Captain, "Of course there is no problem, but there is something wrong with your style of work! The elderly and children need a good rest, and even the strong laborers need a reasonable work and rest. Those people are so tired, what if they are exhausted? Do you have special medical equipment here to help them treat?"
The whole face of the other party was bitter, "This... this... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we just want to quickly build our future home, and it's also for everyone's safety. Knowing if something is coming to attack us, we have to be accountable to all the villagers."
The captain and the others actually didn't believe a word he said when they saw that this man was so fat. If he really shared weal and woe with everyone, why was he the only one who ate so fat?
I can't fit any clothes anymore. There are several laps of swimming rings on my stomach. I am more than 1.6 meters tall. At first glance, I look about [-] catties. Such a person is really different from everyone...
The team leader's eyes fell on him for a long time, until he was sweating profusely before slowly turning his eyes away, "Take us to the village first, don't play tricks."
"Remember, if we attack us, we have the right to kill the criminals directly."
Having said that, the temporary village chief felt relieved a lot. After all, Jing and the others still needed to confirm their identities as the captain.
After walking into the village, the temporary village chief had already asked everyone to rest. After walking along the way, the captain and the others also noticed that there was not a lot of hatred or disgust in the eyes of the people here looking at the temporary village chief. alienated.
That's right, it's the feeling of alienation, as if because of something, they can't resist, and they need it themselves, so they listen to him as a last resort.
But after walking around, not only the captain, but even Tang Ming and the others were a little strange, "There are only so few people in the village of your group? There are not even 1 people here, right?"
The temporary village head, "This...Actually...hey...Actually, before, about half a year ago, several small villages were attacked by mutated animals and suffered heavy losses, so there were not many people."
Tang Ming, "Attacked? Under what circumstances? Doesn't it mean that there will be no mutant animals coming to attack if you live on the inner side of the mountain? Isn't it like this here?"
The temporary village head quickly waved his hand, "No, that's right, it's like this, the reason is not that there are mutated animals attacking the village, but that several of their villages wanted to kill a group of mutated animals directly, so they united and mobilized all the mutated animals in the village. The mutants are young and middle-aged, but it's really scary to go crazy because of that group of mutant animals."
"In the end, more than 2000 people went there, but only thirty or forty people came back. After the living mutated animals left, they went to recover the corpses and the mutated animals that were hunted down. Although there was enough food at that time, but with As time went by, their food became less and less, and then they had to disperse to other villages."
"And because they don't have the labor force of young and middle-aged people, they can only rely on a little subsidy from the village to live. Life is getting more and more difficult. In the end, many of them died of starvation and disease. Don't blame us. We are powerless, because many villages took over all They are old, weak, women and children, and there is not much surplus in the village, the people originally assigned to this village are enough, but now that so many have come, it is really good that we can take them in."
Captain, "So that's the case, but you can't say the numbers right. The two groups over there have an average of 1 to 1 people, but you don't even have 2 people here, and you said before The most important thing is to lose less than [-] young and middle-aged people, even if their families are all gone, the total number is [-], so if you add up, you don’t even have [-] people here?"
"I remember they said that when they were divided into three groups, the number of people in the three groups was relatively average. There should be 1 to 2 people on your side, and there should still be 1 to 1 people on your side. According to your previous plan From the point of view of explanation, it is assumed that there are no more than [-] people, so there should be more than [-] people left, and if the [-] people in the village are removed, where are the more than [-] people?"
The temporary village chief wiped the sweat off his forehead, hesitating and hawing, not knowing what to say.
Tang Ming and Tang Tianlan had seen cannibalism before, but they hadn't seen it again after that. Could it be that they will see it here this time?
They looked at each other and frowned slightly, obviously they both thought of such a possibility.
The captain and the others had no experience with these things, so they didn't think about it at all for the time being. I hope they thought too much. Tang Ming involuntarily set his sights on this fat man with big ears.
After realizing that he didn't have the feeling of those who really ate human flesh, he gradually felt relieved. If it was true, they really didn't mind killing people here.
After all, the meat after killing more than 1 people is really enough for many people to eat, so it is very likely that more than half of the people here have eaten it, and they can't relax even if there is no such evidence for the time being.
Captain, "Please answer my question directly, village chief, where are the more than 1 people, probably close to [-]? Don't tell me that they were also killed by mutant animals. Don't find the same excuse. "
The corner of the temporary village chief's mouth twitched. There was no evidence for this, so he said that what he said before was an excuse, and what he had to explain now was also an excuse?But he really couldn't tell.
"avalanche……"
He struggled to utter two words, which made everyone stunned, Xue Beng?
Tang Ming, Tang Tianlan, and everyone looked at the surrounding mountains, "Where is the avalanche? Is there any village that chooses to live on the edge of a mountain that may be avalanche?"
The temporary village chief nodded and then shook his head, "Actually, that's not the case, it's actually... In fact, they are not very good at judging. They didn't consider this aspect when they went to inspect the terrain, so that's why..."
"Many people were missing after the avalanche, and we only found a small number of people and a small number of bodies."
Captain, "If that's the case, let's take us there. There are nearly [-] people in the avalanche. No matter what we do, we can definitely find one or two hundred people."
The temporary village chief swallowed nervously, "Are you really going? It's very dangerous over there. There may be an avalanche, and you will all be in danger."
Tang Ming pointed to the horned eagle standing in the distance, "We have this partner, so it doesn't matter if there is an avalanche."
The temporary village head looked at the huge horned eagle, then nodded, "That's fine."
Tang Ming added, "Our partner is very strong, and it must be very fast to dig snow with its wings." At this time, the temporary village head focused on the horned eagle's wings and the two lower ones. On the huge claws, not to mention, if it is a horned eagle, it will be really fast.
He looked a little nervous, but he still didn't say anything. It seemed that the avalanche was real, and the number of people who died in the avalanche was also true. What he said before that thousands of people died on the side of the mutant animals was also true.
But looking at the situation in this village, the captain and the others still felt that he was hiding something.
No matter what, they are still going to confirm the truth about the avalanche over there, and they still need to find the bodies of some people first. Of course, not all of them will go there. The captain has left three teams of soldiers here to help .
By the way, learn about the situation in the village, chat with the villagers here, see if you can find any hidden clues, and see if this temporary village chief is really recommended by everyone.
Therefore, the temporary village head was specially allowed to sit on the back of the horned eagle, and he guided the way to the place where the avalanche was located.
Not to mention, when they landed here, they really found some clues, that is, the thickness of the snow here exceeded the height of several people.
The temporary village head stood far away, "It's over there, but I won't go there. If you want to go, go by yourself. I'll wait for you here."
Tang Ming and the others didn't care about him standing far away and looking over there. Anyway, it's better to be here alone, so as not to cause trouble for them.
After all, if there is an avalanche, they can use the fastest speed to reach the horned eagle and let the horned eagle fly with it, but that fat man may not be sure, and it will add chaos to them.
