Chapter 11 Hunters and Scavengers

Yanjing Town.

It is located at the foot of the mountain in the north of Sishan Mountain, backed by the well salt mine, and is defended by a simple stone wall.

Because the town produces salt, the surrounding human settlements will regularly exchange supplies with Yanjing Town. Businessmen from Colossus City will also come to Yanjing Town every month to buy salt and bring high-end supplies from Colossus City.

Where there is production capacity and trade, there is food and arms.

This made Yanjing Town the largest settlement in the Sishan area, and it was renamed a 'town' from a small village.

The total population of the town is about 500 and it is quite prosperous.

And there are many guns, so predators will not easily come to Yanjing Town to fight the autumn wind, so it is relatively safe.

Early in the morning, hunters went out with shotguns and trap tools, and their target was the mutated species on the four mountains.

The harm caused by nuclear radiation is reflected in all aspects of the world.

There are now very few normal animals left before the war, and new species are emerging at a rate that even the greatest biologists of the human race would appall.

Therefore, they are collectively called mutated species.

"Uncle, uncle! Can I really go hunting with you today?"

"Of course, you are 14 years old this year. You are a big boy. It is time to learn real wasteland survival skills. We, the old Wang family, are born to be good hunters! Let's go, uncle will take you to hunt a bird today. Blood Deer, let me stew bone soup for you to drink at night, it will be a great supplement! Hahaha!"

Two men wearing animal skins and a boy less than 1.6 meters tall were organizing equipment at the gate of Yanjing Town.

In Yanjing Town, 14 years old is already the time to take charge of one's own business.

The boy blinked his inexperienced eyes and said, "Uncle, can we keep some meat from the prey we caught today? I want to eat meat."

"Don't make trouble! One pound of meat can be exchanged for 3 pounds of beans. No matter what kind of meat you eat! Put the beans in bone soup and cook them, they will taste like meat and taste the same."

Another man with a Chinese character said with a frown.

“But the meat tastes so delicious when chewed.”

"I'll beat you again!" The man with the Chinese character's face pulled back.

"Hey, hey! Brother, why are you being so mean to Xiao Hao? The child has eaten beans for a month and wants to eat meat. Uncle has the final say. He will kill the prey and cut a big piece of meat for Xiao Hao!"

Xiaohao's eyes showed a look of surprise.

"Don't spoil your child. In the wasteland, being careful about food is a compulsory course. If he eats a mouthful of meat today, he may be hungry for a day tomorrow. Meat is eaten by the mayor and the big shots in Colossus City. My mother has been eating it since she was a child. Tell me, children from poor families have already become the masters of their families.”

But seeing the luster in the child's eyes gradually disappearing, the words behind the Chinese-character face were stuck. He turned his head and said angrily: "It's just today, it won't be the same next time."

"Yeah! Long live dad! Long live uncle!"

Xiaohao jumped up happily.

Looking at the child's carefree face, Wang Qian's deliberately stern face revealed a smile.

In the wasteland, hope is the most valuable thing.

He believes that in the future, his child will become a better hunter than him, and he will catch so many prey that he can survive without having to exchange them all for beans. Maybe he can also go to Colossus City to become a soldier and become a city citizen. .

"Dad, is the blood deer powerful? What if it attacks me?"

Wang Qian put the polished shotgun into the slot on his back and took out a homemade crossbow from his pocket.

"Haohao, the blood deer is a mutated animal with less threat. Because the hematopoietic function is very strong after the mutation, sometimes the blood will burst the skin and seep out, so the body is often covered with a layer of red The blood scab is called a blood deer, and we hunters can easily track it."

"It is a rare pure herbivore among mutated animals. It has no desire to prey on us humans, so it generally does not attack actively. It will only fight back when it is threatened. It is very fast, and its horns are extremely sharp. An adult who is hit head-on by it will lose combat effectiveness on the spot or even die."

"So, we have to hide behind the obstacle and attack it from a distance. You hold this crossbow and follow the aiming method I taught you before."

Wang Qian patiently explained knowledge to the young hunters. These are essential survival courses for hunters.

After listening, Xiaohao nodded, and then looked at a young man walking in from outside, his eyes lit up.

"Brother Feng!"

"You're back? Great!"

"My uncle said last night that you might have died outside. I even had a fight with him. I knew you would come back alive!"

Another man, Wang Wan, had a slight embarrassment on his face: "Xiao Feng. I went out for a long time this time. I thought it was bad! Just come back alive. When we catch the prey at night, bring your beans and come to our house to drink." Bone soup!"

Wang Qian patted Cheng Shaofeng on the shoulder: "Why did it take so long? Did you meet that thing?"

Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "No, I encountered a predator on the way back and narrowly escaped death."

"Predators, deformed monsters! They have become rampant again recently. Last night they came outside our town and yelled. They turned on the lights and fired several shots before driving them away. The mayor should be asked to bring people to clear out several of their camps. !”

"Yeah, that's right! Brother Qian and Brother Wan, are you taking Xiaohao hunting today?"

"Yes, he should also learn to survive on his own, otherwise we may not know that one day he will suddenly disappear like your Hundred and Tenth Brothers."

Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "Understood. By the way, Brother Qian and Brother Wan, don't sell the prey you two caught today to the town. I want to buy it. It's useful."

"You? Okay, then I'll come back and help you move into the house."

Xiao Hao asked pitifully: "Then my meat."

"I'll leave a piece for you, little greedy boy!"

Wang Qian and Wang Wan took Xiaohao out of the town.

Xiao Hao's voice can still be vaguely heard.

"Dad, can I go out with Brother Feng to pick up trash? He has a lot of fun toys there."

"Scavengers, their work is more dangerous than hunting. If my grandfather's generation had been better a few decades ago, now the supplies from Yanjing Town to Colossus City have been picked over and over again by scavengers, and there is no hair left. If you want to scavenge useful things, you can only go to the ruins of the Red City, under the nose of that kind of thing."

"Hunting is what you should learn."

The voices of several people faded in the wind, but still reached Cheng Shaofeng's ears.

"Scavenger. Yes, my predecessor was a scavenger, and the last item he picked up was a watch."

The last memory of his predecessor was confusing, and Cheng Shaofeng vaguely remembered that he had picked up a watch in a city.

Then he fell in the wilderness of the Four Mountains.

And he looked at the watch on his wrist.

‘Nano base for natural disaster, why do you say that in the first sentence? ’

This question has always been in Cheng Shaofeng's mind, but he was almost dead yesterday and didn't study it in detail.

He asked Number Zero when he was lying down last night, and Number Zero said that it was preset by the base.

Who set it up?

have no idea.

Shaking his head, Cheng Shaofeng decided to do what he should do now.

After entering Yanjing Town, he felt a slight chill in his body, as if he were walking from the sun into the shadows.

"No wonder people always tell ghost stories due to the wind, but it's still quite cool in the summer."

Cheng Shaofeng said hello to a few people he knew on the road, and then walked into the shed built by his predecessor.

There was nothing inside.

The sleeping mats were swept away.

Cheng Shaofeng was not surprised. Nowadays, it takes several days for scavengers to go out. Home is never a safe place.

He turned and walked into the nearby shed.

All his supplies are clearly displayed in the corner!

The new writing is very, very slow. I have only written half of the second chapter. I will post it later, probably before 1 o'clock.
