The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 54: Strange Beast

One hundred square kilometers is not a very large area. If the signal transmission range of the landmark sensor rods does not overlap, the coverage of the two landmark sensor rods will exceed one hundred square kilometers.

As Li Meng's words fell, the imperial archers responded. Five people in a group picked up the landmark sensor rods from the snow in front of Li Meng one by one, then left the team, entered the river, and walked to the other side...

Although there was still a landmark sensor rod on his waist, Li Meng did not send out the sixth group, leaving one for emergency use.

"My lord, what are they doing..."

Some soldiers left, which attracted Chen Tianyou's attention. He landed and came to Li Meng.

At this time, Li Meng had left the army and stood on the river bank, looking at the people working on the river.

After taking a look at the imperial archers going away on the river, Li Meng said calmly: "Qing'an Shelter is about ten kilometers away in the east. I have been away for so long, I must send someone back to report safety, otherwise, the shelter will be in chaos..."

So that's it...

Chen Tianyou understood, he could understand the governor's worry.

After all, the environment outside is dangerous, and one can be buried in the ice and snow if he is not careful. If the leader does not go back for a long time, the people below will naturally think too much. If they think too much, chaos is a matter of time.

It's just an excuse. Although Qing'an Shelter is a little far away from Yingjiang Shelter, the communication between the two places is connected. Li Meng has left a lot of troops in Qing'an Shelter. If there is anything, he can also learn from the soldiers of Qing'an Shelter.

Retracting his gaze from the imperial archers who left on the river in the distance, Li Meng asked Chen Tianyou beside him: "There are so many people in Yingjiang Shelter, have the bodies been properly handled?"

Nodding, Chen Tianyou said: "Of course, there are so many people in Yingjiang Shelter, if the bodies are not properly handled, once it causes plague and the virus is rampant, it will be more terrible than radiation sickness. There is a construction site about 300 meters north of the shelter. There is a huge pit in the construction site. The owners of the castles of all generations have thrown their bodies there, no one is an exception, even the bodies of the previous owners of the castles are in it..."

After getting the information he wanted, Li Meng did not ask any more questions.

Although he didn't know how many bodies were in the big pit of the construction site, there were so many people in Yingjiang Shelter, enough for two generations to grow up in sixty years. There are many people alive, but there should be more people who died...

If there are enough bodies in the body dumping site of Yingjiang Shelter, Li Meng will soon meet all the conditions for promotion to "first-level commander"...

How long has it been?

Less than a week...

This is too smooth, too easy...

But is it really that easy?

His face was thoughtful, and for a moment, Li Meng was not sure...

The size of the army, the territory, the number of people, to meet these three conditions, it is not difficult, it is not easy, if there is no Yingjiang shelter, the condition of only 10,000 people will become a ditch that Li Meng can hardly cross, maybe it will take several years, or even decades to meet this condition.

Li Meng should be thankful that humans have a strong ability to survive, even in such a harsh environment.

Time passed by little by little, on the river, although the figures surged, the dark crowd was continuous, but the movement caused was very small...

Living in this world, the survivors know how to survive in the ice and snow world outside. No matter what they do, they must keep quiet, otherwise, not to mention the low temperature environment, the ubiquitous beasts will become the death god of everyone.

In less than two hours, one after another cube-shaped snow piles had been erected on the river surface. The crowd's feet were no longer thick snow, but crystal clear ice...

The nearby snow had run out, and the crowd could only spread further away. Under the hands of the survivors, one after another snow piles appeared on the river surface. Although they were not arranged neatly, they were densely packed at a glance, and there was no telling how many there were.

Unknowingly, it was almost noon...

The cold wind was howling, and just as the crowd on the river was busy piling snow, in the north, on a high-rise building with its lower body buried in snow and its upper body black and dilapidated, a red figure appeared at some point...

Its entire body was hanging on the outer wall of the almost vertical high-rise building, and a pair of golden pupils traveled across a distance of several kilometers and looked at the dark figure on the river surface...

Its body shape was very strange, like a skinned gecko, a red gecko, covered with scales, and four huge claws penetrated the wall to prevent its huge body from falling.

It has a body similar to that of a gecko, and its head is also very flat, like a huge snake brain, and its size is not much different from that of a strange beast.

Suddenly...

The gravel rolled, the ice crystals flashed, and it jumped from the outer wall, falling to the ground from a height of more than 100 meters.

I saw it in the air with its limbs spread out, and a pair of flesh wings formed on both sides of its body. It stopped falling and glided to the north at a height of 100 meters, gradually going away and disappearing in the dim sky and earth...

What is that?

On the bank of the Jianghuai Canal, Li Meng turned and looked to the north...

In that direction, at the end of the street, there is a tall building.

The blackness and destruction of the upper body let Li Meng know that the tall building was not far from the nuclear explosion area, very close, very close...

Just now, on the map, Li Meng found that thing...

Strange beast?

Maybe, at least the color is the same, both are red. Unlike the alien beast, that guy is similar to a lizard and has the ability to climb. It can climb freely on the outer wall of a high-rise building. Not only that, it also has the ability to glide...

Until it left, Li Meng dared to turn around and look at the high-rise building where it was before.

The first person to discover it was not Li Meng, but the Imperial Archer. The Imperial Archer is a bionic man with a built-in telescope function in his eyes. Although it is far away from the shore, its location is very obvious, hanging on the outer wall of the high-rise building. If it is a human, it is naturally not visible at such a long distance, but Li Meng's soldiers are not human...

In the helmet, the expression on Li Meng's face is only solemn.

The appearance of that guy gave Li Meng a bad premonition...

If it was an alien beast, it would have rushed up stupidly, but it was monitoring from a distance and left silently...

This made Li Meng have some doubts and conjectures about the existence of the alien beast.

If the strange beasts were a group, like ants or bees, they would not have just one form. There would be scouting, fighting, and patrolling...

This reminded Li Meng of the strange beasts he had encountered before, five, five, and twenty-five. The number pattern of their appearance was too unnatural.

Thinking of this, Li Meng asked Chen Tianyou beside him: "Chen Tianyou, have you ever seen a strange beast that can glide in the air?"
