446 Chapter 258
In the current situation, the mental condition of the last normal person had to be ensured. The young man did not care about the exhaustion of his physical strength as he slowly tried to persuade her.
“Little sister Shuang, I know you must be in a bad mood right now, but I still have to remind you to suppress your emotions first. Your physical strength can not withstand too much damage. You’ve only eaten a little bit of soil these past few days, and it’s not enough to support your intense action
“Furthermore, you and I know the situation here very well. We can only say that little brother Li was unlucky and left first. Do you still remember what we said to you the first time? If you persevere, you will definitely wait for reinforcements from the city. Don’t give up.”
The young man did not really know how to console people. He combined his current emotions with half-truths and half-lies to give the girl hope, constantly comforting her already fragile spirit.
Perhaps the short-haired young man’s words had some effect. When Xu Shuang heard this, she really began to control her emotions. She turned her head away and no longer looked at the dead man’s head. She also put away her sorrowful expression, although she was still frowning and her eyes were red and swollen, it was still much better than before.
“Very good. That’s it. I knew you could do it.”
Seeing that the girl’s mood had changed, the short-haired young man continued to encourage her.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, Xu Shuang calmed herself down. She leaned against the fence and slowly fell asleep.
After settling one thing, the young man’s stomach began to growl. He imitated his colleague, the strange man, and dug out the wet soil and carefully stuffed it into his mouth.
After a long time, both of them had finished eating. Their bellies were slightly bulging. It was obvious that they had eaten a lot of soil these few days, causing them to have difficulty digesting it. However, in order to maintain their strength.., both of them chose to sacrifice their bodies.
Outside the fence, seeing that the two humans had finished eating the soil, the group of Tibetan chieftains lost their interest. They scattered in all directions, grabbed the heads on the ground that had died with their eyes wide open, and continued to play football.
Looking at the behavior of the group of monkeys from afar, the short-haired man’s heart was filled with endless anger.
“Bastards, these damn beasts, as long as I still have a knife...”
He started to whisper again. This was a small trick that he had developed to prevent himself from accidentally falling asleep.
He used repeated words to awaken his spirit and ensure that he would not be dragged out of the fence by the group of Tibetan chieftains.
Suddenly, at this moment, the voice of the strange man next to him, Captain Yan, interrupted the short-haired youth’s actions.
“Old Zheng, I am confident that I can break out of the encirclement tonight.”
This captain Yan maintained sufficient caution and calmness. He deliberately waited until the group of Tibetan chieftains had gone far away before speaking, afraid that the other party would detect something through his tone.
In this aspect, the short-haired youth’s willpower was clearly far inferior to Captain Yan’s.
“Break through? ! Are You Confident?”
The youth was first shocked, then turned into joy, but he quickly revealed a confused expression as he questioned Captain Yan.
Faced with his companion’s questions, Captain Yan silently raised his right leg and displayed the three sharp stone knives hidden below.
The young man surnamed Zheng’s eyes widened in disbelief. Not to mention the monkeys patrolling nearby, even his comrade, who had been with him for many days, had not noticed the other party’s actions.
The other party had no idea what time period he had used to make these three stone knives.
Quickly retracting his right leg, Captain Yan said with a smile, “How is it? Do you have some confidence now?”
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Zheng nodded slightly, but quickly shook his head and denied his previous reply.
“If it was just this group of small e-grade Tibetan chieftains, I admit that the two of us could have dealt with them. However, captain, not only are there this group of E-grade monkeys here, but there are also those two middle-stage D-grade large Tibetan chieftains. They are creatures that even thirty ordinary soldiers would find difficult to take down.”
As for the young man’s question, this second lieutenant Yan seemed to have realized it long ago. His expression remained unchanged as he continued to explain.
“What if I say that my ability has almost recovered? Furthermore, we are moving stealthily. We don’t necessarily need to attract the attention of the two D grade creatures.”
The young man revealed an excited expression. He hurriedly asked, “Did I hear wrongly? Captain, your ability has recovered?”
The other survivors might not know this, but as a member of the army, the short-haired young man naturally knew of the captain’s methods.
The other party was the main force of the original army, possessing the strength range of an early-stage D rank. His fighting ability was a level higher than the two great Tibetan chieftains in the distance. It was a pity that the enemy would not line up to fight with you, naturally, the captain was unable to completely deal with this group of monkeys.
Recalling the scene where he was heavily injured that day, the young man surnamed Zheng could not help but have his hair stand on end. The figure of that terrifying existence was still lingering in his mind. He could not forget that the opponent’s might far exceeded his imagination.
The tank in front of him could not last more than three rounds before it was smashed into pieces. Even Captain Yan, who had outstanding self-protection ability, was like an ordinary person in front of him. His abdomen was heavily injured by him and only recovered a little today.
Recalling Captain Yan’s previous words, the young man suddenly felt a sense of confidence. He was sure that with the support of the other party’s ability, it should not be too much of a problem for him and the others to escape in the dark.
“Of course, don’t worry. I Won’t take action unless I have complete confidence.”
Maintaining his original calm, Captain Yan answered his question.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and casually gestured twice in the air.
For a moment, several gusts of light wind gently blew past the young man’s hair, making him feel pleasantly surprised.
——
There were still seven hundred left to be made up tonight.
When he was close to the nearest house, Su Ming slightly bent his body and suddenly jumped up. He jumped over three meters high and directly arrived at the top of the house.
Su Hui, who was at the back, naturally didn’t give in. Jumping to the top of the house was a piece of cake for him, who had the strength of a king.
The two wolves quietly lay on the top, watching the scene in the center of the village and checking for signs of high-level creatures.
In their sight, there were seven Tibetan chieftains with different figures. Some of them were quite big and were over two meters tall, while others were relatively short and only one meter tall.
Two tall and strong men held a round iron pillar in their hands, which looked like a human telephone pole. The five short men were all different. Some of them held guns, some held small knives, and some even held pale leg bones.
What was worth noting was that they were all wearing the helmets of the Legion soldiers, and the short men were wearing camouflage clothing.
Obviously, the items that the Legion soldiers had disappeared without a trace were taken away by these Tibetan chieftains.
Their intelligence was considered high among the creatures. After the effects of the mutation, they had reached the age of seven for humans. They had learned to wear items and use firearms.
Two tall Tibetan chieftains were more stable. They were guarding the imprisoned humans. The remaining few short Tibetan chieftains were very active. They were running in the center and kicking a round ball.
When Su Ming took a closer look, he saw that it was a human head. The other party’s eyes were wide open, and there was still a look of regret in their eyes.
As for the central area, the black smoke that was constantly burning was made up of a large number of human corpses.
He did not know where these guys learned the fire-making technique, or if there were fire-type creatures among the seven of them.
They burned the rotting corpses that they could not finish eating and started a bonfire party.
However, to the few humans that survived, the scene before their eyes seemed to be like a certain day.
The monkeys found materials from God knows where and made a large fence to imprison the surviving humans. When they were hungry, they would capture one and feed it to the seven Tibetan chieftains.
The current situation was no doubt a reprieve for the few humans. They would only live for a few more hours at most.
