Catastrophe
Chapter 61: Last chance
The bright moon hangs high, and the breeze blows across the oasis, causing the leaves to rustle.
At this moment, Ning Zhe was lying in a forest of thorns, and the plants around him had been cut down. The thorns with thorns in the outer ring could just become their natural shelter to prevent wild animals from approaching.
Fatty Li next to him was already asleep, the leaves on his body heaving with the sound of snoring, while Ning Zhe stared at the sky full of stars in a daze. Although he appeared to be calm about his situation on the surface, he was still full of worry.
For many years, no refugee has dared to challenge the power within the fortress. The fortress can easily determine the life and death of the refugee. He wants to protect himself, and it is too difficult to rescue Lin Xun from the mercenary. .
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. Ning Zhe was completely drowsy, got up and left the thorn forest, walked to the nearby sand dunes, and looked at the water reflecting the moonlight in a trance.
Suddenly, a dark shadow on the edge of the lake caught Ning Zhe's attention, he rubbed his eyes carefully, and then opened his eyes in disbelief.
The dark shadow in the distance was a giant wolf. As it walked to the water, countless dark shadows began to emerge from the woods. There were at least dozens of wolves in this pack, including some wolves. He was injured and limped when he walked.
Seeing this scene, Ning Zhe instantly realized that this was the group of wolves that had attacked the market town.
It seems that this group of wolves originally depended on this oasis to live, but the previous earthquake scared many animals, so they fled here. These wolves also ate the crops in the oasis because they had no food. In the end, he took the risk and chose to wander in the desert, and then went to the market town by mistake.
Now that the disaster caused by the earthquake has disappeared, the wolves will naturally come back.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhe suddenly had an idea and quickly returned to the forest of thorns.
...
Early the next morning, Ning Zhe found Ye Peng again and said bluntly: "Last night, I found that the beasts that were driven away before are showing signs of coming back, so we have to continue to set fire to drive them out, otherwise, in this oasis, , I'm afraid we have no room for survival."
"No problem, it's just as you said!" Ye Peng has recovered his energy and his physical strength is just right now. The only thing he has to do now is to wait for the arrival of the backup troops in peace. things are also supported.
After everyone reached a unity, they began to work on their own. After more than an hour, the pyre at the upper air outlet was lit again. This time, the pyre was covered with green plants, so the smoke was even bigger.
When the flames were burning, Ye Peng glanced around and found that only Fatty Li was helping, and looked at him sideways: "Hey! Where are Ning Zhe and the other two?"
"Brother Zhe said that there are too many beasts here, so we need to build a few fires on the other side to make the smoke bigger!" Fatty Li pointed to a direction on the side as he spoke.
It didn't take a long time for a thick smoke to rise over there, and Ye Peng didn't think much about it when he saw it.
...
On the edge of the fire in the distance, Tu Shi threw a handful of green grass on the fire and looked at Ren Jiao beside him: "You said that Ning Zhe asked us to help him build a fire here, why? Could it be true? Are you trying to drive away the beasts?"
"No, Ning Zhe is a very smart man. Now that he knows that Ye Peng is going to deal with him, he will never sit still! When I decided to start a fire, I saw him digging a hole at the downwind. It should be a trap." Ren Jiao roasted her hands by the fire and responded softly.
"Trap? Is he trying to deal with Ye Peng?" Tu Shi frowned slightly: "Isn't he always worried that confronting Ye Peng head-on will affect his detained friend?"
"Ning Zhe has no rules for doing things, and I don't understand it very well." Ren Jiao thought for a while and shook her head gently.
"If Ye Peng really wants to do something to him, shall we care or not?" Tu Shi picked up the dry wood next to him and threw it into the fire.
"Let's see the situation, Ning Zhe took good care of you and me along the way, and can help him if it doesn't threaten his own safety." Ren Jiao's cheeks were flushed by the fire, and she replied softly.
...
As the thick smoke rushed into the woods, some animals who came back to drink water all started to flee. Among them, many animals such as gigantic rabbits and rodents suddenly stepped on the air while running and fell into the arrangement arranged by Ning Zhe in advance. in the trap.
Seeing this scene, Ning Zhe grabbed a tough vine, quickly rushed up from one side, and reached out to grab the rabbit in the trap. Today, the size of the rabbit and the desert rat is several times larger, and the strength also varies with the size of the rabbit. As they increased, Ning Zhe's traps could not trap them for too long.
"Bang!"
Ning Zhe rushed to the edge of the trap, reached out and grabbed a rabbit's ear, and the rabbit also turned around and started kicking his arm, and soon left several bloodstains on the back of his hand, Ning Zhe jumped directly into the pit, Wrap the vines around the rabbit's neck and try to tighten it.
Ten seconds later, the rabbit was strangled to death by Ning Zhesheng, but he didn't even look at it, he crawled out and rushed to another pit~lightnovelpub.net~ After half an hour, the smoke cleared and Ye Peng returned to the oasis Later, looking at Ning Zhe whose arms were covered in blood, he frowned slightly: "How did you do this?"
"When I was picking up firewood before, it was cut by a branch, it's not a big problem!" Ning Zhe smiled: "The cigarette we put out just now has scared the animals, and they shouldn't come back to drink water in the short term. But this method won't last long, and when they get used to the smoke, they may attack us!"
"It's okay, we won't stay here for too long!" Ye Peng raised his eyebrows slightly and replied disapprovingly.
Ning Zhe caught the ease in Ye Peng's eyes, and his expression gradually became solemn. It seemed that the speed of the backup at the fortress seemed to be faster than he imagined.
...
It was night, and after dark, everyone retreated back to the forest of thorns again, Ye Peng also ate the fruit and looked at Zhang Fang next to him: "Our backup is already on the way! We can be here in a few hours. , Tonight I will stay in the first half of the night, you will stay in the second half of the night, as long as tonight is over, our hard days will come to an end!"
"Why so fast? Didn't it take three days?" Zhang Fang became a little nervous when he heard this, because Ning Zhe didn't listen to him and didn't choose to leave.
"The team that supported us in the early stage was not a fortress, but a transport caravan of our Pei clan. They will first arrive at the oasis to help us provide protection, and then wait for the arrival of the large army together!" Ye Peng was in a good mood and said to Zhang Fang. After he finished speaking, he hummed a little tune and walked towards the machine gun position in the distance.
"Tap!"
Zhang Fang hesitated for a few seconds, circled outside the thorn forest, and walked towards Ning Zhe's camp. He had to remind Ning Zhe that this was his last chance. ?
