Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The address of the so-called gathering place is just an open space on the edge of a forest. Not far away is the vast gray and white endless wasteland. The saline-alkali soil and the salt marsh mixed in it extend to the end of the field of vision, dotted with small clumps. Grayish-white bushes and sparse dwarf trees.

"Well, it seems that they will come back." Xia Lin squatted down, and the scanner showed that there were a lot of traces of heavy objects on the ground. Under the fluorescent indication, it can be seen that there are obvious traces of tracked vehicles .

The so-called mobile villages and towns and mobile cities do not really move the entire city or entire village to one carrier platform, but are composed of multiple carrier platforms, just like a large group of convoys, the largest of which is the so-called The "core city" is followed by various functional platforms of different sizes, which are independent driving forces when they migrate.

After reaching a safe zone, these carrying platforms will put down the brakes, just like the caravans in the west, and quickly become functional platforms, and then approach each other or disperse to form cities and various urban areas.

And if it is a village or town like the ruins in front of you, each building is a crawler car. When the village moves, it quickly becomes a convoy and runs to a safe point. Form a circle or scatter on the ground to re-form a village.

Based on Yelena's description and the ruins in front of him, Xia Lin thought about how the mobile city began to disintegrate and move. Well, suddenly a gust of wasteland punk and the roar of diesel punk tracks ran over his head:

Between the platforms in the upper city, which are as huge as land-based aircraft carriers, is the midtown with scattered heights. Between the huge crawlers and running gear, the mobile platforms in the civilian areas, which are about the same height as a caravan, are connected to each other by iron chains or other things. Together, clanking and lingering between the behemoth's footsteps.

And when the city finishes moving, the tall decks and bridges are spliced ​​together. Under the vaults and cobweb-like dense traffic bridges formed by the upper urban area is the bustling midtown area. In order to save platform space, the densely populated The building extends as high as possible.

Because of the height difference, the cliff-like upper city and the section of the large industrial block are colorful neon advertisements.

The dense crowd, the drizzle from the condensed water in the upper area, and the dark streets that are mostly covered by the staggered traffic bridges and the unfolded decks, and the poverty, chaos and class solidification that spread in this darkness-no need Say, you can guess what Yelena said by listening to it, and you can even guess without this information.

Smaller mobile modules can't bear more people, but because they are cheaper, they can carry an overloaded population. Those bustling commercial areas can still rely on power and supplies from large urban areas, but they are only separated by a wall. It may be an ordinary civilian area.

Between their domestic sewage and engine exhaust, especially it is said that they use a large amount of minerals such as Originium as energy materials, it is more likely to produce a large amount of exhaust gas containing unused Originium powder, and these things will be deposited in the middle and lower urban areas.

The community-level mobile platforms of civilians cannot carry much purification equipment, so they have to endure this, and then one day their body coordination function is completely finished, and then they are infected by ore disease, and they only end up in lower-level slums and mine.

And these can still be said to be the world under the sun, even if it is only leaking from the gap between the upper city and the commercial area, through the diffuse smoke and exhaust gas of the power supply engine, the sunlight is like muddy sewage.

So the bottom of all the decks, the really dark places, where the waste disposal pipes and sewers are running like rats, are the real slums.

Of course, maybe the first and second decks of the upper city and the business district are also bustling indoor commercial streets and apartments, but in the lower part, near the walking mechanism, between those gaps that may turn the flesh into a paste at any time , is the home of the infected and the poor.

Chapter 15 Elafia Wrath Set-Mixed Vegetable and Venison Soup

Shocked by the mobile city full of cyberpunk flavor that was conjured up by her brain, Xia Lin swallowed her saliva.

The gloomy rain, the cliff-like high-rise buildings or the bulwarks of the mobile city, the colorful neon lights, the infected and the poor who have been deprived of their identities, and the crowds passing through the narrow streets full of cobweb-like cables... ...

Heck, if this was some kind of cyberpunk art exhibition, it would be mind-blowing - but it's horrific in reality.

However, I have to say that the movement of these swarms of industrial behemoths is indeed like the end of the century, with roaring tracks, billowing sand and dust, mobile platform vehicles that look like miscellaneous fish around the giant land cruiser, and even so A little bit of how the Covenant's land army is deployed.

"Are you looking for something?" Yelena squatted down beside Xia Lin and looked at him curiously. There were only some indentations on the ground, nothing, not even a few weeds, "Nothing, why do they live here? Are there any resources?"

"It is said that there is a small source rock mine"

"Origin Rock Mine?"

"Well, it's... yellow stones, which can be refined into source stone mines, that's it" Looking in the direction of the girl's finger, there are clusters of uneven hexagonal rocks on the wasteland. Conspicuous, "Well, the content is quite high"

The content is about 17%. As far as ore is concerned, the grade is already very high.

"This is the source rock, and the ones below are the source rock. The source rock is very hard, and it is difficult to mine without tools." After all, Yelena has been in the mine for a long time and is very familiar with these things. She has to rely on these to exchange for rations to survive, even if she is only ten years old.

Under the hexagonal rocks are some clay-like lumps. Xia Lin reached out and touched it. The scanner showed that the content was about 3% to 4%, but the hardness and feel were about the same as plaster, which belonged to bare hands or It can also be dug with wooden tools.

"What's the price of origin stone?" He asked, since this kind of thing is being mined by the local villages and towns, it must be a kind of relatively circulating mineral, maybe it's something like a coal mine.

"I don't know, the guards at the mine won't tell us that"

"Well, that's it..." Xia Lin took out Zhou Bo's tool knife and easily cut off a large piece of solid source rock, and was going to take it back to refine and extract the source stone, maybe it would be useful for trading with others in the future.

"Okay, let's go back. If we delay any longer, it's almost dark." Xia Lin packed up the samples and said, the sun was about to set, flocks of birds were circling the tops of the trees, and it was time to go back to the mining machine to prepare for camping. Take a moment.

On the way back, Yelena found a creature that looked like a red deer. She called this kind of thing the Ephra giant deer. It is a close relative of the Elafia tribe. Hunting with the Elafia people in the Ursas area is merciless.

This animal seems a bit bold, standing on a high ground far away, looking at Yelena and Xia Lin, it seems that it has never seen a gun or a shotgun before, it seems not worried at all that these humans are a threat to itself, this distance has exceeded the distance that a crossbow can get Degree.

The locals obviously don't have muskets, and maybe not many crossbows, which makes the animal boldly stand in the distance without concealment and look at the two hunters with guns.

Xia Lin took off the falcon-style assault rifle, switched to single-shot mode, and aimed at the opponent in a standard squatting posture. Perhaps it was a warning from instinct. The strong buck kicked its hoof a little uneasy, and was about to turn around and run away.

"Shoot!" Yelena, who was also shooting from a squatting position, aimed at the giant deer and pulled the trigger. However, the first time she shot a moving target, she missed the target without any accident. The four legs wanted to rush into the dense forest, but the electromagnetic bombs that were chasing it knocked it down accurately.

With the aid of symbiotes and neural implants, Xia Lin's shooting accuracy is very difficult to miss at this distance.

However, this is also thanks to the fact that this giant deer has never seen a hot weapon and is not very alert to humans. In fact, the biggest problem in hunting is to find animals and not scare them away. Finding accounts for [-]%. difficulty.

[Even if it is an extremely simplified hunting game, for many people, it is a walking simulator, because there is no prey to be found. 】

Human beings with animal characteristics are still human beings, so Yelena doesn't mind hunting rabbits at all, Elafia people don't mind hunting giant deer, and Ursus bear hunting is even more traditional.

Just watching the little white-haired rabbit struggling to drag the bloody giant deer in front of him still feels a bit out of harmony.

"Don't move." Xia Lin pulled out the hunting knife, "Don't drag the blood everywhere, it will attract predators"

The animals here have not seen humans, or been beaten by humans, which is good news and bad news.

The good news is that they may be less alert and easier to find and hunt, but the bad news is that predators don't see humans as dangerous prey either.

Xia Lin cut open the place penetrated by the electromagnetic bullet. As a non-hunting bullet, the cavity caused by the expansion iron-lead bullet of Mach 6.5 is a bit too big, destroying a lot of meat, and fragmented pieces can be seen everywhere. lead pellets.

Peel the deer hide along the position of the bullet hole, gradually peel off the whole deer skin except the scalp, then roll it into a cylinder, then cut open the abdomen, remove the deer liver and heart, and then collect the deer blood , the last thing is to cut off the front leg meat and the soft belly meat that are not contaminated by ammunition.

After basically reaching the upper limit of the load, the remaining half of the deer can only be left on the spot. In the case of ready-made food, predators will not choose to attack strange creatures rashly. Therefore, for hunters, in the If it is impossible to take it away, it is a good choice to throw the remaining corpses as far away from yourself as possible.

The next step is to deal with the bloody smell on the body, spray deodorant and a hemolytic agent that eliminates the hemoglobin in the blood, and soon even Yelena's sense of smell will not smell the slightest bit of bloody smell, which can prevent the bloody smell from bringing carnivores away campsite.

As it took a while to hunt the giant deer, it was completely dark when he returned to the mining machine, and Xia Lin took out the processed dry wood from the truck.

To be honest, if you use this kind of high-quality pine wood as firewood, you will be hanged and beaten by the forestry management office in the Star Alliance, and then the fine can reach any middle-income level. People will be terrified, and they will definitely not have the courage to do it next time.

Even those forest farm colonies that provide outdoor BBQ services are specially planted fast-growing miscellaneous trees that are useless for burning fires, and the fees are very expensive.

But, of course, there is no institution of the Star Alliance here to fine you, and here are all wild woodlands. According to the ancient development method of the Star Alliance, Xia Lin even has the right to claim ownership—well, extending 20 miles from the edge of the land he opened up. The area within [-] km is his legal property-to encourage human beings to open up to the star sea.

[To put it simply, 20 kilometers away from the wall he built counts as his, and it doesn’t matter any further.You have the ability to build a walled enclosure the size of a continent, and the 20 kilometers inside and outside are also yours, but the amount of work...]

Therefore, theoretically speaking, he was chopping wood for his own house to set fire to. No one could blame him.

For those with alcohol and ion torches, it is not difficult to start a fire at all. The dried branches quickly ignite the flames, and then press a few thick pieces of dry wood, and a simple bonfire is completed.

While Yelena was looking at the bonfire and adding broken small dry branches to it, Xia Lin moved a folding kitchen table from the truck, opened it and placed it beside the bonfire, and placed a battery-powered outdoor lighting on it.

The bonfire gradually flourished, making a crisp crackling sound, and the warm firelight made people feel extra at ease.

After checking that the giant venison meat did not have much source stone precipitation, Xia Lin threw the venison meat into clean pure water and washed it again, and added chemicals that accelerate the crystallization of the source stone, and then washed it again several times to make sure The origin stone particles were all crystallized and settled at the bottom of the water before being fished out, and placed on the cutting board to be cut into pieces.

Sliced ​​fat and thin venison, cabbage, and potatoes are placed in a marching pot, put salt and monosodium glutamate, add a little chicken oil, pour pure water, cover the lid and throw it on the campfire, and then marinate with salt After a while, the venison and potato cuts were strung on the branches, and they were inserted around the campfire.

Finally, add pine needle tea made with salt and a pinch of clean pine needles, and a standard hunter's wilderness set meal is complete. Xia Lin is very satisfied with her results.

The small pot on the campfire made a gurgling sound, and the smell of stew filled the forest.

Under normal circumstances, it would be easy to attract wild beasts. However, with something as big as a mining machine making strange rumbling noises, most wild beasts would not approach them rashly to kill them.

When Xia Lin was preparing the meal, Yelena went out with a large pile of tongs and didn't come back until the stew was boiling. She went to install a trap. If something was really attracted, maybe Still a pleasant surprise.

Lifting the lid of the pot, he stretched out his chopsticks and poked the venison floating on the surface. He felt that the stew should be softened, so Xia Lin nodded, "It's ready to eat, Lian Na, go and take out the lunch box."

"Okay." The little girl wiped her hands quickly, and ran to the back of the truck to find two polymer lunch boxes.

A large lunch box full of hot venison stew, together with grilled venison kebabs that are crispy in the grill pan and sizzling due to the flowing fat, is their dinner today.

To be honest, the taste is very average, but it does not have a wild taste.

The crispy skin cracked between the teeth, and hot oil and gravy flowed out. This kind of full taste is hard to compare with poultry meat. "Well, not bad, what do you think?"

"Mmm, it's delicious." There was a ring of oil stains on both sides of the fair face, and the oily mouth bit off another piece of venison, with puffed cheeks, making a satisfied sound while chewing.

"Speaking of which, this kind of giant deer can be considered for breeding in the future"

"Hey, have you found the lair?" Yelena looked at him curiously, did she know where the fawn was? "Ah, no, but I have collected somatic cells, so I can consider breeding them."

The tree of life seed synthesis platform with a cost of more than 1000 million star coins is used to do this job. Of course, those complicated genetic improvements are not acceptable, but only somatic cells are used to induce germ cells to form autologous clones. Embryos should be fine.

In this way, he will be able to obtain a breeding embryo of a giant deer, although because it is an autologous clone, and he will not knock out the sex chromosomes to turn the male deer somatic cells into female deer embryos, so there are only male deer embryos, but there will be more in the future. If you have the opportunity to hunt this kind of animal, if you can’t do it, you can also buy live deer directly when you meet local people in the future.

"Can I raise that if I have that?" Yelena's slender and delicate eyebrows frowned. She didn't quite understand what autologous induced cloning is, but she could understand that she had been collected blood and so-called tissue samples before. Is that okay? Create a lot of yourself?

Yelena, who has no human experience and no one to teach this knowledge, began to think wildly: "In this case, should the new little Yelena be called her mother, and what is she called Xia Lin? Dad? How embarrassing!"

"Ah, this one is a bit troublesome, but it can be raised. I'll go back and try it."

"That... Yelena can do it too?"

"Ah, people can't do it." The Star Alliance has locked human clones, because the deck is easy to be blocked by the ancestor technology when it goes on the road, which brings bad luck to all mankind.

"Oh~" The girl didn't know whether it was disappointment or some emotion, but she quickly recovered from the state of self-loathing where the black history was made public. After all, she was only ten years old, and she was only hazy about these things, and soon Put it aside.

After eating, Xia Lin cleared the tableware and signaled Yelena to go into the tent, "It's time to sleep, you go to sleep in the tent, I'm on duty at night"

He has the symbiote doze mode, so he can take a little rest, but Yelena doesn't have this ability, it's better for children to eat more and sleep more, and although her body is not so weak anymore, she still looks very thin.

The girl was not hypocritical, she agreed and got into the tent and wrapped herself in a thick warm sleeping bag. Compared with the past few months, her life was no different from that in heaven. There was no hunger, no struggle, no pain. Guards who take pleasure in abusing the infected, and have no cold or fear.

Although it is a bit dull and boring, the ordinary life is already a great luck and enjoyment for her, but the unknown of what will happen in the future makes her have some fears, especially at Mr. Xia Lin's place, many things are worked by herself, Her role is very limited and may be replaced or abandoned at any time.

However, it is a little consolation to be able to help out today, and Mr. Xia Lin does not seem to be dissatisfied or disgusted. On the contrary, he is serious about teaching himself how to deal with prey and how to hunt. Maybe this is his own value. ——Being a free hunter in the forest seems to be very good, the girl slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Ah, I fell asleep so soon, the child's psychological quality is good." Xia Lin looked at the synchronous life monitoring data in PNIS, which showed that Yelena had fallen asleep.

The nanofluid injected into her before has been almost metabolized, and her recovery is very good. The area that was previously diagnosed as a bone tumor also showed signs of recovery. will become a normal person.

Xia Lin smiled, picked up a piece of dry firewood and put it into the fire, "Crack!" There was a crisp sound from the forest, "Who is it!?" Xia Lin picked up the rifle beside him and pointed it in the direction of the sound. Automatically switches to optical enhancement mode.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary traveler." The tall man came out of the woods with a wry smile on his face. Hell, a scout who is a shield troop would make such a low-level mistake , "Look, I don't have a weapon on me either, so..."

"So, you gave the weapon to your companion, let him come out too, I don't believe you are a traveler."

"...Okay, okay" was seen through, and that weapon is a gun?What does this guy have to do with those Sakotas?While thinking, Ivan signaled his companion to leave a mark and come out.

Now if I continue to hide, I can only become a target for the blunderbuss. At this distance, I am not sure to deal with a heavily armed enemy, so leaving a mark and coming out is the only way.

If the other party is hostile or does anything to them, the secret mark will let the patriots know all about it, and then... nothing more, "The Devil of Ursus" will solve it all.

Chapter No.16 Truth or Dare is not

A guy with antlers came out from behind the forest. To be honest, Xia Lin, the "human" with animal ears, has seen two of them, but this is the first time I have seen the one with antlers on his head. Long halberd, holding a heavy crossbow in his arms.

There are four crossbow arms crossed in an X shape. The overall structure looks like a standard rifle. Even the crossbow bolts are stuffed in from the back. There is also a leather rail on the back of the crossbow for sights. I don't know what to say, what kind of wasteland DIY style weapon is this?
