Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 173

Combat is cruel, but collecting loot is a wonderful thing, and the rewards after the sacrifice are always extraordinarily gratifying.

Well, it would be better if there is no sacrifice but only harvest. Cheng Xi and Daju have the same idea.

The task of cleaning the battlefield is actually quite heavy.

The corpses of extreme beasts in the periphery have all been disposed of, and the rest are mainly concentrated in two places. One is the highway 300 meters east of the service area. There are more corpses of extreme beasts in this part, more than 100 in total.

There are also about [-] or [-] inside and outside the service area building.

With so many corpses just to recharge the energy bombs, it would take several hours if only Li Xun and four were involved, so other people had to be found to do it.

The four including Li Xun, Lu Jian, Lu Li, and Lu Ke first came to a square building in the southwest corner of the southern area. This is an ecological tea garden with a back-shaped structure. In the middle is a large yard of 40 meters square. There is a tea tree, and there are exhibition halls and tea rooms on the periphery. Those ordinary survivors are all concentrated in the yard.

When Li Xun and the others appeared in front of these people, everyone sitting in the yard stood up one after another. They were not only familiar with Lu Jian, but he was the person in charge of the base before. Yu Qingming was also familiar with it.

Especially Shen Yiqing, this young girl who was still a nephew to most people present blocked the wave after wave of polar beasts, refusing to give an inch. It was because of her extraordinary strength and unremitting persistence that they escaped being caught The fate of killing.

So when they saw them, many people's eyes were red, and their gratitude was beyond words.

"Thank you big sister."

A little boy hugged his mother's neck, his eyes wide open, and his immature voice suddenly sounded in the quiet yard, which was extremely loud.

"thanks, thanks!"

"Thank you so much, you saved us."

"I'm very grateful that you didn't give up on us, thank you!"

"..."

Everyone was waking up from a dream, expressing their gratitude with the simplest language.

Shen Yiqing, Cheng Xi, Yu Qingming and others looked at the happy faces of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they all showed smiles. They could feel the sincerity and gratitude of these people. There is a sense of accomplishment outside.

Lu Li, who was standing by the side, also felt honored. He saw that although most of the people were looking at Shen Yiqing, there were also quite a few people who gave him grateful glances, so he calmly leaned in Shen Yiqing's direction.

"Okay, everyone's wishes are accepted. Now the polar beast has been beaten away. We have to hurry up and clean up the battlefield and then continue on our way. We need some manpower. Is there anyone willing to help?"

"Have."

"I."

Everyone raised their hands in response.

"Okay, those who are willing to help stand forward, thirty men come."

Many people came out of the team, and soon 80 to [-] people were gathered, and some people continued to stand up.

"I can help too." The little boy's voice sounded again.

Li Xun looked at the little boy and young mother not far in front of him, and said with a smile, "Okay, count you in. You and your mother are responsible for collecting food."

"Okay." The little boy nodded solemnly.

Li Xun ordered fifty men to go with them, and left the rest to Lu Jian. I believe he also needs it, and Lu Jian hopes that everyone will follow him to Fengzhou to find troops. Now is a good opportunity.

After counting all the people, Li Xun arranged some tasks and everyone split up.

In view of the fact that the fire had spread to the outside of the entire building, Yu Qingming and Cheng Xi first found two empty container trucks and rammed them into the building, and cut open the other end of the container with a hunting knife as a passage for entering and exiting.

Cheng Xi took Daju to go through all the corpses of extreme beasts first, and marked the valuable corpses of extreme beasts that seemed to contain horn crystals. Yu Qingming organized some people to get these precious materials out, and finally Shen Yiqing Instructs to recharge energy bombs.

Li Xun first found some materials to make a few chargers. The main raw material of this kind of small thing is the battery. It is extremely simple to make. It took less than half an hour to make ten, plus the original twelve, All chargers were handed over to Shen Yiqing.

During this period, the recovery of the lances had been completed, and almost all the lances thrown were recovered, only five were lost.

Cheng Xi and Daju also combed through all the corpses, and found more than a dozen special corpses, most of which were ordinary polar beasts with horn crystals, as well as a manticore and two shield beast corpses.

The special thing about that manticore corpse is the needles at the very front of the tail. Although it is called a manticore, its tail is actually slightly different from the manticore. The needles are not curved, but straight. .

And the needles of this manticore are different from the dark needles of other similar ones. The color is bright silver, and the black needles are extremely sharp metal armor. Even sharper, it can pierce even the round shield of the shield beast.

Although it is only [-] centimeters long and a little thicker than a thumb, it has already given Li Xun a big surprise.

Moreover, this acupuncture point is extended from the metal armor. Obviously, there should be some relationship between the two, which is also a surprise.

Regarding the two shield beast corpses, what Daju cares about is the two round shields, and Li Xun is also very interested in this.

He wanted to get a round shield to study in the International Trade Building last time, but unfortunately, the few shield beasts he killed were all burned by the fireball of the winged beast, and nothing remained in the end. Don't worry this time, There are at least a dozen shield beast corpses.

He took a closer look at the shield beast. The round shield on its head is very special, with a relatively flat surface, thicker in the middle and thinner around the perimeter. The thickest part is five centimeters long, and the thinnest part is two centimeters. The horn on top.

At the center of the back of the round shield is a thick, slightly outward-curved column that seems to play a supporting role.

Li Xun used a corpse of a shield beast to charge the energy bomb, and as expected, the round shield remained like a bone.

He cut off the round shield completely from the bone with a spiny-fin assault knife, and unexpectedly found that it was very light in weight, and its material was very similar to bone.

But it is such a light thing, but its hardness is extremely high, and metal armor can't do anything with it. Of course it is not a good thing to put it on the shield beast's head, but it is quite a good defensive weapon in your hand.

And this thing does not need special treatment, it can be used after cutting it off, which is very convenient.

It has to be said that although polar beasts are very ferocious, they are full of treasures.

After cutting off the two round shields that Daju found, Li Xun tried it with an energy gun. Sure enough, it could defend against energy attacks, but after resisting it, it would leave a hole two centimeters deep on the surface. Obviously, the number of defenses was limited.

But if it wasn't particularly bad luck, if you were hit in the same place multiple times, it would be no problem to block dozens of energy ray attacks with a round shield.

Lu Li, who had been following Li Xun, saw the strength of the round shield, and his eyes were also very eager.

More than two hours had passed by the time all the corpses were disposed of.

The drones that have been monitoring the sky over the service area have not found anything. Obviously, the extreme beasts in Dongfang City are no longer able to send troops to attack, or they think that Li Xun and others have already left and cannot catch up.

In any case, the extreme beast pursuit and blocking battle ended successfully. The extreme beast left nearly 500 corpses, and the human side also lost more than [-] people.

But for Lu Jian's team and the ordinary people who survived, this battle is of great significance. They realize that the extreme beast is not invincible, and it has an immeasurable effect on improving morale and confidence.

After cleaning the battlefield, Lao Fan took back the drone, and the five of them took stock of their losses and gains.

In this battle, Li Xun and the others paid a considerable price. They lost two spiny-fin arrows, which were stuck in that special beast and were taken away. More than 100 rounds of energy bombs were all exhausted, and five spears were lost.

Of course, the harvest is not small. I got 27 horn crystals, fully charged the energy for the 180 four rounds of energy bombs, seventeen sides of the ordinary round shield, two sides of the enhanced version of the round shield, one special acupuncture, and one hundred tendons in the spine of the beast. There are seven fire sacs in the winged beast's body, and several tentacles.

Finally there are thousands of units of genetic energy.

Lu Jian's team followed Li Xun and the others and got a lot of things. All the things they collected and didn't collect were all taken away by Lu Li and others.

Including seventy or eighty pole beast tendons, a bunch of tentacles, a large number of spiny fins, and the needles on the tails of some manticores.

The fires on the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the service area were gradually extinguished, and the cars in the parking lot were still burning.

When Lu Jian and those who survived mentioned the matter of going to Fengzhou to find troops, no one had any objections. Compared with Wu Youliang who tried his best to draw the blueprint of the airport base for these people, but left them at a critical moment and left them alone to escape. Lu Jian's responsibility is more convincing.

After confirming that they wanted to leave with Lu Jian, everyone started to act.

Most of the buses they drove were burned down, and even if they were not burned down, they could no longer be used. The buses were all electric vehicles and could not run that far.

Fortunately, although more than half of the parking lot in the northern area was burned, there was almost no loss in the southern area. There were three to four hundred vehicles, large and small, and many of them could be driven.

There are many people and strength. Under the leadership of Lu Jian and others, they found enough vehicles, searched through the supplies in the service area, brought all the available ones, and opened eight or nine containers. It's a pity that no good things were opened.

After all preparations were completed, Lu Jian approached Li Xun to ask his opinion. It happened that Li Xun and the other five had also packed up, and the two sides immediately agreed to continue on their way.

The armored vehicles still led the way, and Li Xun and his pickup trucks followed, followed by more than 20 small cars, four buses and several large trucks.

Thousands of people and a huge convoy of thirty or forty vehicles walked east for a while, got off the expressway, bypassed the broken bridge on a provincial road, got on the expressway again, and headed northward in a mighty way.
