Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Lu Meng carried the small bones and returned to the place where the Jiatu corpse was.

He stuffed the dog into his backpack and put it on his back, leaving only the dog's head for small bones to breathe.

Then he opened the animal backpack left here.

As expected, there were no popular goods inside, only a piece of paper and a book.

Lu Meng first picked up the piece of paper and glanced at it, then threw it away.

It's a map.

"What the hell, my friend hasn't drawn it in detail yet."

There was a ball of flame printed on the surface of the book, and three small flames burst out from Yan's heart.

It is the symbol of the Holy Kingdom.

The origin of this book is obvious.

——"Holy Fire", the religious classics of the Holy Empire, all residents of the Holy Kingdom have a copy.

Lu Meng flipped through it casually.

It doesn't prove that Hong Xingxing has colluded with the Holy Kingdom. This thing is not expensive. Buying a brand new copy in the Holy Kingdom only costs tens of karat coins.

The key is that when you encounter the interrogation of Holy Kingdom patrols and sentries outside, taking out a copy of "Holy Fire" from your arms can solve a lot of troubles.

Therefore, even if many smart businessmen do not believe in Auckland's plan, they will prepare a copy when passing through the Holy Country.

Although Hong Fengxing probably wouldn't have a chance to deal with the Holy Kingdom, it would be a good idea to have a copy of it on the beast of burden at all times.

Lu Meng also stuffed "Holy Fire" into his pocket.

It’s also a good idea to read what’s said in it when you’re bored.

If you can't relieve your fatigue, keep it to help you sleep.

Although no other valuable cargo was found, the backpack itself was quite useful.

This kind of animal backpack is designed to be mounted on a pack animal, and the internal space is also reasonably divided. It is very suitable for carrying regular-shaped and large quantities of goods.

Lu Meng rolled up the bag and stuffed it into his backpack. The backpack was stacked on top of the backpack.

Then there is the entire skeleton of the camel.

Lu Meng thought about it and removed its ribs, femur, shoulder blades and a skull.

The shape of the ribs originally fits the human chest very well, and with the camel frame I had at home before, it doesn't require too much processing. Just use the camel tendons to string the ribs together, and it becomes a simple set of armor.

Large bone fragments such as the scapula and femur can serve as parts of the shoulder armor and arm armor.

The hardest part of the skull is of course the goggles, but the shape needs to be processed.

Lu Meng carried a dog and a bag of bones on his back and moved his left hand. Except for the swelling and pain at the place where he was hit, there was not much other obstruction.

Judging from his medical knowledge, although Fog Man's blunt blow shattered some of the tiny supporting structures between the bones of his left arm, it did not cause any damage like a fracture.

After the [Toughness] attribute increases, the damage reduction effect is still very significant.

Coupled with his current physique, his recovery speed is also amazingly fast.

However, it is not possible to resurrect with full health immediately after a fight. This is probably only possible for those mechanical beings that can repair in real time.

…

Lu Meng hurried home, and it was already dawn.

First, the bone dog's wound was officially disinfected and cleaned before being bandaged, and then Huo Buyang was woken up.

Huo Buyang was directly frightened by this ferocious big dog.

Lu Meng thought that although this little guy had begun to listen to him, he was not familiar with Huo Buyang and Li Liu.

So it was better to throw Xiao Gu into a room alone, make a simple camping bed, let him rest on it, and then lock the door.

Xiao Gu was seriously injured and exhausted, and soon fell asleep.

During this period, Lu Meng also conveyed everything to Xiao Huo.

Huo Buyang, like most people in the hub, had never heard of what a fog man was, but even a group of skeletal dogs could be slaughtered by them, so he still knew how powerful they were.

"Brother Lu, why don't we leave the hub now?" Huo Buyang asked seriously.

Lu Meng did not hide his plan to leave the hub station from them. On weekdays, Huo Buyang and others often checked the storage of key materials and classified them into categories, so that they could be quickly transferred if there was an unexpected problem one day.

It can be said that we are always prepared.

Now the hub station is facing the crisis of Fog Man invasion, and the living conditions may be even worse. No matter what, it is a good time to leave this place.

But Lu Meng had deeper considerations.

He shook his head and roughly drew a map around the hub station on the ground with his fingers:

The hub is located in the "Border Land", and to the north is Stark, the important town of the Holy Kingdom. It is stationed by the famous general High Inquisitor Seta. Paladins often lead the army to fight with bandits everywhere in the form of small forces.

The villages to the east, like the hub, were once the territory of the Holy Kingdom, but now they have all been destroyed. Only the two strongest bandit forces are left fighting for the territory. The key is that going further east requires almost half a continent. In order to meet a large-scale human civilization, no one can do it except professional traders with sufficient supplies.

"The only place we can go to is Scone Town in the southwest." Lu Meng said, "The Fog People seem to be entering from the hub station from the north, but there is actually a Hive Clan village to the west of us."

"Hive Clan?"

Huo Buyang had never left the hub, and he didn't know much about the so-called Holy Kingdom, the Eastern Continent, and the Hive People... At this moment, it seemed as if a whole new world was unfolding before his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Meng nodded, "If the Mist Man is indeed coming from Kiri Island, then there is still some hope for us to start from the southwest...

"But what if these fog people are newly transformed from the Western Hive Tribe?"

This is another possibility besides the fall of the Holy Kingdom's Fogmen defense line.

Worse possible.

‘Inundation of dead bees’…

Queen West Bee died, and the entire West Bee was transformed into a new colony of fog people.

——The Western Bees are the largest hive clan on the entire continent.

With the fog people's diffusion ability, going to Skun at this time is equivalent to rushing into the fog people pile.

Although in Lu Meng's memory, Queen West Bee should still be intact at this time.

But this is a changing world.

It's not that without the disturbance of players, the entire world is as unchanged as a pool of still water.

There are no version updates and plot developments forced by designers.

Even an important NPC may die due to some minor disturbance. By the time you run around the world to recruit him, he will have already entered the belly of the bone dog.

What’s more, this is the “real world”.

He was somewhat fortunate that he did not rely on his understanding of the worldview to feel that everything was under control, nor did he relax his exploration of the field because of this, nor did he hastily leave the current safe zone without being stable enough.

——It would be better to say that he was so cautious precisely because he understood the urinary nature of "Swordsman".

Even the skeletal dogs were forced to move inward by the fog people outside. Lu Meng didn't think he could survive after running into them in the wild.

And it must be the most tragic way to die.

On the contrary, if he was in a ruined city, he wouldn't be afraid of running into a single fog man.

"So move to the streets first and use the power of the gang to block the first wave of impact."

The first wave of attacks may not be the fog people, but the beasts that are forced into the hub like bone dogs and forced to compete with humans for living space.

Ordinary people may only find it strange, but not too troublesome. They just don't expect that a greater threat is still behind.

Judging from the "humidity-loving" characteristics displayed by the fog men, those fog men who have sneaked into the hub should prefer to move at night. Now that the humidity is not so high during the day, Lu Meng and the others are still safe.

This extra day is the time to seize the opportunity.

He asked Xiao Huo to quickly pack his things, close the doors and windows tightly, try not to make any noise, and wait for news.

Li Liu also stayed at home to help him make a set of upper body bone armor. It didn't need to be too elaborate and there was enough time.

Lu Meng himself took the package, picked up three bottles of good wine, and rushed to the black market...

Thanks to book friend Zhu Lijuan for the reward!
