Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 20 To the Dark Cave
Early in the morning, the hunters who had rested all night assembled.Although they were a little tired after staying overnight temporarily, the fact that the mayor would go out with them to hunt the bears still made their inner excitement overwhelm their exhaustion.

Since the rail car was built and the sawmill's production capacity doubled, citizens' fear of Li Jianghao has greatly changed.Some nervous citizens even think that no matter whether the mayor is a man or a ghost, as long as his sincerity can bring them benefits and a sense of security, they can accept it.

Li Jianghao did not carry the flaming sword Lihuo, but wrapped the flange sword and carried it on his back, and carried a pair of short knives with him.It was explained to the public that the Flan sword was made by Andrew as a gift to the mayor when the steel plant was built.The short knife originally had a wooden handle, and it even looked a bit like a weapon that could be made by inlaying the blade on the wooden handle.

This resulted in people not reacting well to the mayor having a new weapon. Some people even got drunk and ran to Andrew, begging him to make a weapon for themselves.Of course, these people were eventually pulled outside to sober up, and then went home in despair to rest.

Including Li Jianghao, a hunter team of 16 people took a rail car to the entrance of the low-lying land, and then left at eight o'clock when people started working.

Before setting off again, Li Jianghao confirmed that the archive function of the typewriter was still not unlocked, so he had to set off directly.Before leaving, let Huck and Andrew, who are already able to move freely, keep an eye on that old guy Bernard. It is necessary to be defensive, especially this old guy has a criminal record.

After running for half a day, I turned my head to look at the vast snow field, but I couldn't see any undulating terrain. I could only see the light emitted by the camp's lighthouse from a distance, representing the return path.

Looking forward, after a period of ups and downs in the terrain, there was a depression, where the bears hibernated.Because the undulating terrain covers the depression, it is difficult for even sunlight to shine there, and it looks very dark in the white field of vision.

However, Li Jianghao did not see any survivors near the Dark Cave. It seems that they arrived too early. The survivors who were besieged by the bears in the Dark Cave in the plot have not yet arrived.

But after the bears in the Dark Cave were solved by them, the survivors who came here later found the guidance of the New London Lighthouse and could reach the camp safely.

No matter whether someone takes it back or not, the bear will definitely be killed today anyway.Li Jianghao has called out to let people drink bear soup, and it is best to drink it tonight.

Stepping on the sled, all the people marched towards the dark cave.Li Jianghao suddenly felt a tremor from the great sword of Fran on his back, and a feeling of longing spread into his mind along the spinal cord.

It seems that there is something terrible in the shadows ahead, and the sword behind him is eager to fight the things in the shadows!
When he was about to enter the cave, Li Jianghao asked the hunters to stop and did not rush in.Here, the trembling of Frank's sword could be seen with the naked eye. The hunters just thought it was Mr. Mayor who was a little nervous and didn't pay attention.

Only Li Jianghao was silently resisting the fighting spirit from the sword. If he obeyed this force, he would have rushed into the cave with the great sword of Fran at this moment.

Reason finally prevailed. He was a human being after all and would not be controlled by weapons.

Li Jianghao asked the hunters to take out the wood prepared in advance, judge the wind direction, clear the snow, and lay traps.

They will light the wood and smoke the bears from hibernation.Then they hid above the terrain, waiting for the awakened furious bears to come out of the cave and step into the traps, and then beat them one by one.Of course, it would be even more perfect if the bears were suffocated directly by the smoke in hibernation.

The plan was executed perfectly, but Li Jianghao still had a stone hanging in his heart, thinking about why the French sword had such a big reaction.

According to the item description, where this weapon appears, the power of the abyss will also appear nearby.Shouldn't it be, there is corrosion of the abyss in the cave of darkness?
That would be a big trouble, hunters bring their weapons, no matter how ferocious wild beasts in nature are, they are no match for them.But the abyss is such an unreasonable thing, except for myself who also has an unreasonable weapon, no one here really can resist it.

He silently tied the tied straps and took out the great sword of Fran.

Amidst the roar, people felt vibrations coming from under their feet. A giant bear that was three meters in size ran out, directly stepped on the burning bonfire, and roared around in anger.It took another step forward, and the trap it laid clamped the limbs of the giant bear, but it was easily freed.

Compared with this behemoth, the black bear I encountered before can only be said to be a child in front of it.It is rare in nature for a bear to grow to such a size. Its fur is still black, and the mouth is covered with long-dried blood, which tangles the hair there.

After it, three more bears ran out. They were finally of normal size and had black hair.However, the behavior pattern is somewhat rigid, and it does not show anger or other emotions. After leaving the cave, it was caught in a trap and did not resist.

But just the fighting power of that giant bear is enough for people like Li Jianghao to drink a pot.The thing is completely unaffected by the trap, and is screaming around looking for who awakened them.

"Sir, there's something wrong with that weird guy. It didn't clean its mouth hair at all after eating, which is very rare among bears. We suspect that there was a cannibalism event inside these bears, causing the surviving individuals to Go crazy, or sluggish."

The experienced hunters of the hunters made a judgment and waited for Li Jianghao's next order.

Under their gaze, Li Jianghao nodded and asked seriously:

"Then, can I still eat it?"

The hunters fell into silence. After a moment, the hunter just now made up his mind and said: "After high temperature treatment, it can."

Li Jianghao turned his head, looked at the giant bear, and raised his hand: "Let's do it! You first deal with the three ones controlled by the trap, and I'll attract the attention of the big one. You have to be fast, and I'll finish them off. Hurry up and help me, or I will be eaten by a bear before I eat it!"

After the order was issued, the hunters dispersed and watched Li Jianghao jump down with his weapon on his shoulders.

The moment Li Jianghao held the Great Sword of Fran and decided to fight, Li Jianghao felt as if a teacher was teaching him how to fight against creatures corroded by the abyss.He believes that even if he loses the Greatsword of Falan, these weapon skills will always remain in his soul.

This is the most unreasonable part of the system's rewards!
The giant bear found the human who came to face him alone, and ran towards him roaring without thinking.

Li Jianghao clenched the French sword and closed his eyes.When it opened again, the huge monster had already arrived in front of him!
