Chapter 35 Return to Shelter

Under Zhang Guowei's urging, the crowd at the dock started to move, and the survivors pulled the sleds in the direction they came from.

The sleds were very heavy, and the skids were deep in the snow. Even a sled loaded with hundreds of kilograms of coal required several people to pull it. Compared with the time they came, the speed of the transport team's return was very slow...

Just as Zhang Guowei led the transport team to gradually leave the dock, on the other side, Li Meng led a group of soldiers to leave the river bank and enter the river...

The snow on the river was very deep, almost submerged in the knees, and every step would take a lot of effort.

Walking on the snow-covered river, the difficulty of each step made Li Meng a little envious of the strange beasts.

The strange beasts can walk fast on the river, not because of their strength or their huge bodies, but because they have four relatively bloated big feet. The contact area on the snow is large, so it is not easy to sink.

Unlike humans, the two feet are still too small, and they will sink deeply if they step on it.

It took Li Meng several minutes to walk for more than 40 meters to the body of the alien beast closest to the dock.

In such a short time, the alien beasts that were not dead on the river surface have lost their vitality.

They are not machines, but living things. No matter how strong their vitality is, the loss of blood will kill them.

Looking down at the body of the alien beast under his feet, Li Meng's mind moved...

Just in front of Li Meng's feet on the snow, a white light surged out from the void, turned into light particles and wrapped around the body of the alien beast. The next moment, the body of the alien beast turned into a white light and poured into the void, disappearing without a trace...

"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +2 iron resources..."

The body of the alien beast disappeared, leaving only a pit on the snow, a piece of golden blood, and a few fallen iron arrows.

Continuing forward, Li Meng walked towards the second body of the alien beast.

And the imperial archer behind Li Meng picked up the iron arrows on the snow and put them into the quiver.

The iron arrows used by the imperial archers are made of fine iron, which is very hard. The unique arrow design makes it difficult for the arrows to break after hitting the target, and can be reused at least three times.

Of course, if it hits something too solid, the sharp arrow will still break.

"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +2 iron resources..."

The transport team has left the dock and is going far away. The dim sky and earth make it difficult for people far away to find the strange phenomenon on the river.

Although a white light will be emitted during the transmission, the transmission light is not dazzling. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

Li Meng is not worried that the transport team that has gone far away will find the strange phenomenon on the river...

1, 2, 3...

"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +1 iron resource..."

As a white light poured into the void, only the last corpse of the alien beast was left under Li Meng's feet.

Looking down at the corpse of the alien beast on the snow in front of him, Li Meng's face in the helmet was thoughtful.

Too similar...

Same size, same color, no difference in each part, these beasts seem to be carved from the same mold.

In Li Meng's cognition, although the appearance of a creature is roughly the same, the difference between individuals should be obvious.

Not to mention the differences in other aspects, there should be obvious differences in individual size.

But these beasts completely violate the diversity of nature and are completely the same...

Thinking of this, Li Meng shook his head and turned to walk towards the dock.

I really don't know how these beasts were born, and how they spread all over the earth in just sixty years.

These inexplicable things simply violate the principle of biological evolution, and there is no source to be found...

There are a total of 25 corpses of beasts, and Li Meng did not miss any.

At present, there is no shortage of various resources and resource points, and various resources still have a certain reserve, but biological resources are very limited, and there are also water resources...

These two resources seem easy to obtain, but the amount used is too large, and if you don't pay attention, they will be consumed completely.

Especially water resources, there are obviously water resources everywhere on the earth, but Li Meng has no way to start.

Snow is not to be mentioned. Even if Li Meng piles the snow together and then uses the maximum volume to transport it, he can't get too much water resources at one time, and it will only waste the energy of transportation.

For the acquisition of water resources, Li Meng's goal is "ice". Although there are small rivers and ditches everywhere in Qing'an City, the ice in the river is too difficult to mine. It is thick and hard. It is necessary to organize manpower and carry out ice harvesting operations for several days.

Following the footsteps of the past, Li Meng approached the dock a hundred meters away step by step.

As he walked, Li Meng was thinking...

Things have to be done one by one. Resources are not too scarce. There is no need to rush. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the food and drink problems of hundreds of people in the shelter first. Only when this problem is solved can we do other things with peace of mind.

When Li Meng returned to the dock, the transport team had gone far away on the road to the south...

There was no need to chase the transport team. On the way back, Li Meng picked up the rags.

Abandoned vehicles on the road and vehicles in the factory parking lot were all Li Meng's targets.

"+30 resource points, +25 iron resources, +5 copper resources, +10 fiber resources, +5 rubber resources, +5 water resources..."

"+35 resource points, +30 iron resources, +7 copper resources, +8 fiber resources, +4 rubber resources, +4 water resources..."

"+25 resource points, +20 iron resources, +7 copper resources, +7 fiber resources, +5 rubber resources, +3 water resources..."

...

Satisfiedly leaving a factory parking lot, Li Meng returned to the main road he came from and quickened his pace.

It was getting late, and he had to return to the shelter before dark, and now he was only halfway back.

On the way back, Li Meng did not pick up scraps again, and chased in the direction where the transport team left.

When he was less than two kilometers away from the shelter, on the main road ahead, Li Meng saw the transport team moving slowly forward.

The rest of the journey was smooth. The transport team did not encounter any strange beasts or any accidents, and successfully returned to the shelter.

As soon as they returned to the dim underground logistics, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and everyone's face was full of joy.

This time, they went out on a large scale to transport coal. Although they encountered strange beasts, they came back alive...

"Have a good meal, and after making arrangements, come to the Governor's Mansion to find me at 7 o'clock in the evening. I have something to say..."

Without saying anything more, after saying this to Zhang Guowei, Li Meng led the soldiers to leave the logistics and walked deep into the shelter. Wherever they passed, people avoided them, with only awe in their eyes.

In today's transportation operation, they saw how powerful these soldiers were, how could they not feel awe in their hearts.

That was a strange beast, something that had been scaring them for decades.

But today, they suddenly discovered that the strange beast that frightened them did not seem as powerful as they imagined.

Just on the river, dozens of strange beasts were easily dealt with by these soldiers in front of them...
