When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Outside the no-man's land, Ma Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and kept pacing back and forth.

When he saw the familiar car approaching from a distance, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted, "Hey! Master Pei is finally here!"

He originally thought that he would be able to judge the situation in the no-man's land by personally taking people in to see it, thus providing a reference for the next step.

But he never expected that it would be difficult to even take a step into the no-man's land, let alone leading hundreds of thousands of people across it on foot.

To put it bluntly, if you insist on choosing this path, you will undoubtedly give away a big meal to the things inside.

In a blink of an eye, the car arrived. Ma Xiang, who was familiar with the road, rushed to the driver's seat and opened the door for the people inside: "Hey Mr. Pei! You're finally here!"

"what's the situation?"

Pei Chonglin got out of the car neatly and wanted to bypass Ma Fei and go to the passenger seat to open the door for Li Ying, but was blocked by Ma Fei's arm.

"Don't rush inside yet! It's dangerous!"

Pei Chonglin raised his eyebrows: "Danger?"

Seeing that Li Ying had already opened the car door, he had to stop and ask Ma Fei to understand the situation: "Have all the traps been cleared?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Fei patted his chest and said fearfully: "Thanks to my being here in time, I didn't let them all clear out. In view of the situation inside, I only let people leave a hole, and the rest I have recovered a lot.”

When he said this, Pei Chonglin immediately asked cautiously: "What is in it?"

"To tell you the truth, I just took people a few hundred meters inside."

As Ma Fei spoke, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the no-man's land, and finally lowered his voice and said: "But after seeing a few monsters lying inside, we quietly retreated.

I asked why the people at the Flame Mountain Base had to build a barrier here. Isn’t this just to stop those things? "

"Monster? Captain Ma, please speak clearly."

Pei Chonglin didn't want to hear him talk anymore, so he just said what he had to say directly. He didn't come here to listen to him slowly telling adventure stories.

"...Let me tell you this!"

Ma Fei doesn't like ink either, but the situation is special after all. Regarding what he saw, he now has some doubts in his eyes.

However, he still tried to tell what he saw: "There are mutated animals inside. What we saw should be a desert monitor lizard. The individual is at least three or four meters long, and the number is definitely more than the few seen on the surface." .”

This answer was within Pei Chonglin's expectation. After hearing it, he quickly came to the conclusion: "The desert monitor lizard has mutated."

Ma Fei nodded heavily: "Ang, that head can only be said to be mutated, and I think there should be more than just this kind of mutated animal, because I saw the bones of many giant animals. They should be fighting each other. product."

In fact, the scene inside was even more horrifying, which was why they didn't rush in rashly.

Otherwise, it is easy to fall into the monster's nest if you are not careful, and the consequences of alerting the snake may affect the large troops behind.

Even though they have guns and cannons, their mobility and lethality are far inferior to those of flexible mutant animals.

What's more, he hasn't figured out the degree of mutation and true strength of the mutated animals, so he really doesn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, Li Ying, who had listened completely, interrupted curiously:

"Captain Ma, not to mention that the Kule Desert is not very big. It didn't take us long to enter the hinterland of the desert. The no-man's land should be just a small area. How could there be so many in such a small place? Giant mutated animals?”

"This one……"

When Ma Fei hesitated, Pei Chonglin actively took over and answered Li Ying's questions:

"The so-called two hundred kilometers of desert is just a general statement. In fact, with the changes in climate over the years, the Kule Desert has been constantly changing."

Then he began to analyze in detail: "Because the Qingzhou Provincial Government is in the east, the desert control efforts are not small, and it can be considered to be under control, but the desertification of land is also increasing slightly every year.

Due to neglect of governance in the western region, the degree of desert has been expanding. If it had not been blocked by the western highlands, Fancheng would have been submerged in the sea of ​​​​sand.

The situation in the south is even worse. The plains are bordered by funnels eating windy sand. Now that the protective forest is no longer maintained, the situation will only get worse. "

After hearing this, Ma Fei couldn't help but clapped his hands and said in agreement: "Yes, this is what Mr. Pei said. After the end of the world, the entire environment has changed. The Kuler Desert is no longer the original Kuler Desert."

Li Ying had long guessed that the desert environment would change, but he didn't expect the changes to be so drastic.

“So, the no-man’s land is also getting bigger.”

Ma Fei looked around, raised his hand and gestured: "Let me tell you, if it weren't for these traps and barriers, the entire Kule Desert could be collectively called a no-man's land. It would be very difficult for the Flame Mountain Base to survive."

Li Ying also frowned: "Then wouldn't there be danger with so many of us?"

"That's right! Let me tell you, when we went in to take a look, the monitor lizards were sleeping and we probably didn't notice the people outside. To be honest, the brothers heard a lot of noise inside before. I guess they were either fighting or hunting. prey."

As soon as Ma Fei finished speaking, Li Ying's question rang out again: "But there is one thing I still don't quite understand."

Ma Fei asked: "Which point?"

Li Ying thought for a moment, then looked at the rough obstacles in front of him and directly questioned:

"I have said that there are many giant mutant animals inside, so can these traps and obstacles trap them?"

After a pause, he added:

"If I remember correctly, Liu Changsheng doesn't have many powerful superpowers under his command. I guess the traps they set are not powerful enough to besiege these mutated animals for so long!"

Ma Fei was shocked when he heard this: "You mean these traps and obstacles are actually just decorations, and there is another reason for trapping these mutated animals?!"

He couldn't help but turn to Pei Chonglin in order to get confirmation: "Master Pei, what do you mean?"

At this time, Pei Chonglin also had a serious look on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he expressed his point of view:

"I asked Qu Linqing before I came here. He said that based on previous observations, there have always been no abnormal behaviors in the no-man's land, but that is just a representation on the cloud map and cannot explain the problem."

Having said this, he couldn't help but look at Ma Fei seriously: "Captain Ma, Li Ying is right, no man's land is too unusual."

Ma Fei immediately clenched his fists and looked like he was going to fight: "Then what happens next..."

The next second, his words were picked up by Pei Chonglin: "I will take someone to investigate in person."

Upon hearing this, Ma Fei immediately objected: "How can this be done! It's too dangerous inside. I have to go there as well. Mr. Pei, just wait for Xin'er here!"

As the commander of the army, he must do his best when encountering situations, so how could he let Mr. Pei take risks...
