Chapter 31 Coal Terminal
Qing'an City is very big. Even in the suburbs, there is no so-called open space.
In the vast white world, there are endless snow-capped mountains on both sides of the road, one next to the other.
Walking on the road covered with thick ice and snow, Li Meng followed the footprints left by the soldiers in front. The eyes in his helmet scanned the front and both sides.
We were already about two kilometers away from the crossroads battlefield, and nearly half of the way to the dock.
The soldiers from the two groups have not stopped banging their spears since they set off. Although the sound of clanking metal is not loud, the volume has exceeded the decibels that the alien beasts can hear. Alien beasts within a radius of several kilometers can hear it. movement.
But after all this time, the strange beast never appeared again.
"Roar……"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Li Meng was just thinking about why he didn't see any strange beasts. Just in the distance on the left, a beast roar suddenly sounded.
This made Li Meng's eyes brighten as he was walking forward. He quickly stopped and said loudly: "Get ready to fight."
Following Li Meng's order, the army stopped advancing and the front line changed rapidly.
The imperial archers scattered in all directions and were divided into four teams, scattered in front of and behind Li Meng, in four directions: left and right.
There were about thirty people in each team, standing in two columns and two rows, with about fifteen people in each row.
With iron arrows drawn from the quivers on their backs, the imperial archers loaded their bows and prepared for the attack.
"Roar……"
The roar was getting closer, coming from the left, from the west.
The noise was getting louder and louder, and the noise caused by the strange beasts running wildly in the snow could be clearly heard.
where?
over there!
In Li Meng's eyes, a group of red figures appeared from behind a snow mountain not far away.
They ran wildly in the snow, locked on the target on the distant road, and roared from their mouths.
They scrambled over each other, biting each other, and having fun. Just like the group of strange beasts just now, they seemed to recognize the weakness of their prey.
In less than ten seconds, they had already entered within a hundred meters. Just like the group of strange beasts just now, there were still five of them.
Seeing this, Li Meng's face darkened slightly and he said coldly: "Free fire."
Seeing that the enemy came from the west, the imperial archers in the two groups also turned their direction and aimed at the enemy from the west.
Following Li Meng's order, the imperial archers locked their targets and released their bow strings one after another.
"call out……"
Just hearing a scream that broke through the air, one iron arrow after another shot out of the air, attacking the strange beast in the distance.
The distance of tens of meters was reached in an instant, and iron arrows tore through the air, nailing the alien beasts with a scream.
"laugh……"
The huge power made the iron arrow powerful and penetrated deeply into the body of the alien beast.
The huge impact caused the alien beast to stumble and fall to the ground. Before it could get up, more iron arrows fell on it.
Under the intensive attack of iron arrows, one alien beast fell, two alien beasts fell, three alien beasts fell...
When there were only two alien beasts left, the alien beasts were no longer able to charge. They lowered their heads, protected their eyes, and retreated under the impact of the iron arrows, roaring angrily.
Like Li Meng's soldiers, they have no fear, even if they are certain to die, there is only a desire to kill in their eyes.
Their skulls are very hard, and even if their heads are filled with iron arrows, they still won't be killed.
Only if it hits the eye can it be fatal with one blow.
But that doesn’t mean that as long as you protect your eyes, they are invincible.
"laugh……"
Amidst the screams, sharp arrows pierced the bodies of the two strange beasts one after another.
Every attack made the alien beast roar, its body retreating continuously, shaking its head in an attempt to shake off the iron arrow on its head.
"laugh……"
A sharp arrow shot out of the air, flew over a distance of tens of meters, and pierced into the neck of a strange beast.
"Roar……"
With a wailing cry, the alien beast fell to the snow, its body covered with iron arrows, and its golden blood flowed out. It gasped for breath, and its life was passing away bit by bit...
A few seconds later, another alien beast also fell to the ground, with a black iron arrow stuck in its left eye.
The iron arrow was inserted very deep, one-third of the way in, and it was a fatal blow.
really……
Li Meng murmured in his heart as he looked at the corpses of strange beasts lying on the snow dozens of meters away.
Once the number of imperial archers increases, these strange beasts will not be so scary.
Unless they know how to sneak attack and hide in the snow or in buildings beside the road, it will be difficult for them to cause effective damage to the army.
Although the alien beasts have speed and strength, they are all large and bulky. They are heavyweight creatures. Also, their colors are obviously not suitable for sneak attacks. They are frontal hunting. creature.
And they don't act alone. Like lions, they should be social creatures.

"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +3 iron resources..."
"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +2 iron resources..."
"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +3 iron resources..."
"+50 resource points, +30 biological resources, +2 iron resources..."
"Keep going, let's go."
After recovering the bodies of the alien beasts, the army continued to move forward.
The journey was much smoother afterwards. No matter how loudly the imperial spearmen struck their spears, no strange beasts attacked.
Walking in the snow was still very slow. It took the army three hours to reach its destination.
Standing on the side of the road, Li Meng looked around and saw a wide snowfield in the distance.
That was a river, a big river. It was the Jianghuai Canal, which was hundreds of meters wide and stretched from west to east to the end of the sight.
Right by the canal, there were three huge tower cranes. Behind the tower cranes was a dock on the shore. There were several snow-capped mountains on the dock, and a continuous small snowpack.
The thing buried under the snow was Li Meng's target, the coal that the shelter needed most at the moment.
Not far away, after getting off the main road and walking a few hundred meters along a small path, you will arrive.
And under Li Meng's feet was the junction of the small path and the main road.
"Let's go..."
Taking a step forward, Li Meng left the main road and walked along a small path to the dock by the river.
Behind him, a group of soldiers followed closely...
Under the protection of the army, Li Meng entered the dock.
The world in front of him was still white, and everything was buried under the snow.
Coming to a small snow pile, Li Meng bent down and dug through the thick snow...
As the snow was dug, pieces of coal of different sizes appeared in Li Meng's eyes.
Li Meng picked up a larger piece of coal and stood up.
Looking at the coal in his hand, Li Meng was very curious. What resources would he get if he recycled the coal?
Let's give it a try.
Thinking of this, Li Meng's mind moved.
In Li Meng's hand, a white light suddenly appeared, turning into light particles that enveloped the coal. The next moment, the coal turned into a white light and poured into the void, disappearing without a trace.
"+0 resource points, +0 plant resources..."
