Chapter 46 General Attack Direction
Da Huang brought the skeleton statue back, and the skeletons in the distance finally stopped refreshing, and the fog wall also stopped retreating.
Looking down from the sky at this time, the entire fog-free area outside the courtyard was in a "D" shape with a radius of more than 200 meters.
However, the fog wall at the old house was still as strong as before.
Xiao Jian played with the skeleton statue in his hand.
Although the statue was full of cracks at this time, its details were still rich and clear, and the material used was not ordinary stone. It felt like ivory carving or resin, but the weight was heavy and very much like metal.
The method of using this statue is very similar to placing plant servants, but after determining the placement position, an arrow will appear in the direction of attack.
This arrow can be a direction or a unit.
After playing with it for a while, Xiao Jian threw the statue into the pile of high-value debris to accompany the computer, screen, and camera.
Next, Xiao Jian picked up the gift box dropped by the last wave of skeletons, and got two bottles of mineral water and a pack of instant noodles again - tomato flavor.
After finishing all the chores, Xiao Jian looked into the distance.
There, the fog wall had begun to advance slowly.
Without the large consumption of the skeleton statue, the "Great Fog" was gradually recovering.
Xiao Jian took out a blank resource card, "pulled" a large piece of iron from the "breakwater", and then pinched two iron buckets, one large and one small.
The large iron bucket was more than two meters in diameter and one and a half meters deep. Xiao Jian planned to collect some rainwater for bathing in the future.
The small iron bucket was actually not small. The mouth of the bucket was as thick as a washbasin and more than one meter deep.
This "small" bucket was used as a pickle jar. When pinching it, it came with an open and closeable iron lid.
After finishing it, Xiao Jian jumped out from the breast wall and started picking wild vegetables.
Although purple alfalfa is a bit bitter, it is not unbearable if you get used to it... After all, even bitter melon, bitter chrysanthemum, and dandelion have become common vegetables or wild vegetables, so eating some purple alfalfa is not strange.
As for how to eat... conditions are limited, so it can only be pickled.
After all, green leafy plants are not easy to store, and he has no other conditions, only salt is enough...
Xiao Jian had exchanged a large barrel of sea salt before, which is all high-purity sodium chloride, at least twice as salty as the salt that is usually bought at home and mixed with potassium chloride, antioxidants, and anti-adhesives.
It is very salty to put a grain in your mouth, and you can only put a small handful in a large pot of rice.
With Xiao Jian's current usage, so much salt will not be used up in ten years.
I don't know if it is because of the "great fog", the purple alfalfa leaves that Xiao Jian picked are very clean, some of them are still covered with crystal clear dew, and they don't need to be washed at all.
Using a small jacket with a nice style as a basket, Xiao Jian kept going back and forth between the grassland and the small courtyard.
When the fog wall pushed to the vicinity of the small courtyard, the iron pickle jar was full, and even the larger "bathtub" was covered with a lot of purple alfalfa leaves.
As the pickling progresses, the tender leaves will produce a lot of juice, and there will not be too much pickled vegetables left after draining the water.
After finally finishing his work, Xiao Jian returned to the iron cage, picked up Da Huang from the sofa and put him on his stomach, while petting the cat and thinking about the information he had obtained so far.
First, someone or something was trying to attack his courtyard, and the [Inferior Skeleton Statue] left behind was proof.
Secondly, the fog wall surrounding the courtyard was called the "Great Fog", and this "Great Fog" could also be guided by things like the "Skull Statue" to precipitate monsters.
In other words, this so-called "Great Fog" itself is one of the raw materials for monsters.
And the fog wall retreated more than 200 meters before, most likely because the "Skull Statue" consumed the surrounding fog.
Finally, there is a piece of information that is not considered intelligence, that is, the fog wall in the direction of the old house in the courtyard is not the "Great Fog", and naturally cannot be used as the raw material for the "Skull Statue" to produce skeletons.
But to some extent, the fog wall that freezes the old house has the same properties as the "Great Fog".
At least, the land resource card can smoothly expand the land in it.
Xiao Jian looked at the fog wall in the direction of the old house. It stretched straight up to the sky. It was difficult to see how high it was with the naked eye.
The fog wall in the old house was not the "Great Fog", which was good news for Xiao Jian. At least judging from the current experience and known information, the monsters in the fog should not "refresh" from the direction of the old house.
This gave Xiao Jian a relatively safe rear area.
So should we give it a name?
Foundation Wall?
Holy Wall?
Great Wall?
"... Just call it the Back Wall." Xiao Jian finally chose a very ordinary name for it.
After sorting out the currently known information, Xiao Jian took out the [Harmony Stone] and pressed it on the screen of his mobile phone, preparing to write the information he had just summarized on the notepad.
As soon as he turned on the phone, he found that there were several more text messages.
Xiao Jian first glanced at Da Huang and found that it was squinting its eyes and enjoying the massage of the human servants, looking very relaxed.
After making sure there was no danger around, he clicked on the first text message:
The weakness of the evolved zombies lies in their mobility. If you are discovered by an evolved zombie, don't panic or run fast. Maintain a speed slightly faster than the zombies and leave. Be careful to conserve your energy.
Remember not to hide in the bunker. The destructive power of the evolved zombies on the bunker is very exaggerated. Even a 60 cm thick reinforced concrete wall can't last more than 10 minutes!
Remember, remember!
If you are discovered by the evolved zombies, then run! Escape from their sight and hide again.
Announcer N5873.
…
Obviously, N5873 has taken over the duties of the announcer and started to perform his duties.
I don't know what the fate of N7183 who is trapped on the front line will be...
But their ending is already doomed. After all, even the main station with the name of "Southern Five Barriers" has been breached. How long can N7183 hold on?
With a trace of emotion that can't be said to be sadness or sympathy, Xiao Jian clicked on the second text message.
Latest news! !
N7183 repelled the monster attack! N5873 returned the position, and N7183 will still report to everyone next!
All the staff of N5873 pay tribute to the heroic N7183! !
"..."
The slap in the face came so quickly?
Xiao Jian didn't expect to be slapped in the face for just reading a text message...
But he didn't care, and was even a little happy. After all, it's always a good thing for more people to survive.
Then, he clicked on the last text message, and this text message made him fall into deep thought:
N7183 resumed his duties and made a correction: We did not repel the monster's attack, but when the battle was most urgent, the monster army retreated for some reason!
According to the technical staff's speculation, it is possible that a powerful stronghold annihilated a large number of monsters, causing the monster's general attack direction to shift.
All N7183 staff expressed their most sincere gratitude to the unknown existence, and also begged the unknown stronghold to be careful of a huge "zombie giant", which is very likely to be the core BOSS of this wave of attacks!
Thank you again, and beg the unknown stronghold to establish contact with us as soon as possible.
This round of broadcasting is over, announcer N7183.
