Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Lu Meng was not sure which of his arrangements had played a role.

——There is no need for close confirmation.

Neither the fire nor the lighting could last the whole night and attract the fog man's attention continuously.

So he also used Yuke's "Lantern of Light".

This specialty product of the hive tribe can continuously emit the light energy absorbed during the day. It is originally a good prop for portable lighting.

Acting as a bait to attract fog people also has a certain effect.

Its value is only a few tens of kai coins, so give it up if you need to.

certainly.

The most effective way to attract people is to use live animals, large numbers of live animals.

They will struggle, make noises, and emit bloody smell. The more they resist, the longer the effective time will be... enough to attract most of the fog people in the area.

This was also the reason why Lu Meng kept the group of hungry bandits behind.

Otherwise no matter what.

Having such a big tail following him and not knowing how to disguise and hide his body will definitely increase the risks for people like himself.

Te Yi's guess was actually half right.

While Lu Meng was hunting, he was also observing the group of hungry bandits, calculating the positions of different arrangements.

It's not like he didn't give them a chance.

Look at the current situation.

Some people don't grasp it.

The screams spread like a tide among the fog people, alarming a large number of fog people. The heavy fog people led their respective settlements, gathered in the same direction, and cleared the road ahead.

After the noise, the entire wilderness seemed extremely empty for a while.

Lu Meng and the others also seized this opportunity and rushed out in one go.

The elongated figures were imprinted on the mound and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

A few days later.

"Brother Lu, our escort mission ends here," Te Yi said goodbye to Lu Meng with his companions. "The next step is already under the actual control of the Kingdom of Shake. There will not be any great danger. We also want to Let’s head to the relay station.”

The loess on the ground has been trampled hard, and traces of the road have appeared. The group of people is now on the side of the fork in the road.

Next to them lay a huge creature, with its back covered with joints that protruded into spines, thick limbs and a signature long neck.

This is a beak-billed beast, also commonly known as the "long-necked beast".

But unlike the "giraffes" that Lu Meng knew, long-necked beaks were extremely ferocious predators. If they encountered them in groups looking for food, even the regular army would have a headache.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough to massacre the city.

But this beak-billed beast has become a corpse. It was still just a young beaked beast. It probably ran out for fun and happened to bump into Lu Meng's team.

Everyone fought hard to get it.

Just in time for a big meal.

Many people were injured in the process, but Lu Meng used his medical skills to help them recover first aid.

Teyi was also among those treated.

Only then did he personally confirm the identity of the doctor Lu Meng.

However, long before that, the relationship between the technology hunters and Lu Meng had been relatively harmonious, and there was no doubt about whether they believed it or not.

Because of this relationship, Te Yi and Lorna even escorted the team for an extra day.

It stands to reason that their employment contract has ended, and they should have parted ways as early as the last intersection.

Being able to do this for an unexpected employer is also rare for a budget-conscious technology hunter.

It seems that they are not unkind.

But maybe.

This is also related to the fact that Lu Meng did not teach Rona the hunting skills that she was interested in until the last day...

"You guys should also take care." Lu Meng shook hands with the two of them.

The technology hunter was fully equipped and solved a lot of his troubles along the way.

As expected of a professional.

——Sooner or later he will get a complete set.

"By the way," Tai coughed, "This is for you."

He took out something from his breast pocket and handed it to Lu Meng.

It's a thick magnetic card.

"There is also an equipment store opened by our technology hunters in Scone City. This is regarded as an identity mark, and the permissions will be looser. For high-quality customers, we also hope to have more opportunities for cooperation."

It seems to be the simplest kind. It has a metal coil inside and cannot record any information. It can only be sensed by the instrument.

However, with the current level of technology, being able to achieve the "sensing" step is enough to indicate the identity of the cardholder.

At least it's more reliable than the Brotherhood copper lock in Lu Meng's hand.

"Thank you." Lu Meng accepted it without any politeness.

For industries with an employment nature, screening customers has always been a science.

Not to mention the fear of encountering a mercenary, it would be even more dangerous if the employer originally had the idea of ​​plotting against the mercenary.

So once they have connections, they are more willing to do business with trusted regular customers.

Technology hunters and mechanics maintain long-term cooperation and there is no shortage of business. Only people with special channels can issue commissions to them.

If it weren't for Leiber, Teyi and Lorna wouldn't have accepted this escort mission.

The same reason was used for using Dr. Yang before.

Now.

Lu Meng himself also has the qualifications to initially contact technology hunters.

He watched the two people leave, watching their backs gradually shrink at the end of the road.

‘A relay station for technology hunters. ’ Lu Meng thought.

Although he said that he could sell whatever he got to Leiber in the future, it was still too far from the hub after all.

Before roads are built, bandits are eliminated, and the traffic environment is improved, it will be impossible for frequent travel between the two places.

As an alternative, relay stations opened by technology hunters are also a good choice.

behind him.

Yuke, Sharik and others have not left yet, and the adventurers also need to rest in Scone Town for a while and resupply supplies.

At this moment, they were working with Huo Buyang to deal with the remaining bodies of the Beak-billed Beast.

Although the young rhinoceros is not as big as the camel, it cannot be eaten in one meal.

After such a long journey, everyone’s food was almost exhausted.

Lu Meng joined in and exchanged experiences with everyone:

"The hides don't have time to tan. Just take the high-quality meat away."

"啕——"

"Be careful, some of the meat on the Beak-billed Beast is so smelly that even the Children of the Scorched Earth can't stand it in their stomachs."

"Unless it's a bee or an animal."

"Then feed it to Xiao Gu..."

You can cut the fresh meat into strips and simply roast it on the fire to dry out the water and carbonize the surface of the meat. This can prevent many mosquitoes from laying eggs and bacterial growth, and reduce the rate of decay.

It won't be a problem to make it the rest of the way.

…

The majestic canyon has two erected walls, forming a long and narrow passage between them.

This is the only way from the outside world to the hinterland of the Shark Kingdom.

However, a high wall cut off the valley entrance.

The wall is made of neatly cut stones, with uneven gray-black metal plates covering its entire outer skin.

Rugged rock walls and cliffs combined with high walls form a majestic town at the bottom of the canyon.

The irregular steel spikes on the city gate protrude, are mottled and rusty, and are solid and wild. This gives people the illusion that it has been standing here since ancient times. The blood stains on it serve as a warning to passers-by, as if to keep them away.

It has been so before.

The group of people stood far outside the city gate, feeling that the city was not "intimate", and some did not dare to move forward.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Lu Meng made the final decision:

"This is it."

——The town of Scone.
