Chapter 136: Strange Bird
When the car turned a crossroad in a downtown area, Chen Shouyi saw a thick isolation wall appearing in front of him, reaching fifteen or sixteen meters high, and it was unknown where it stretched to, which was spectacular.
"The military zone is inside the isolation wall." Bai Xiaoling introduced while driving: "The entire military zone has expanded to three square kilometers in recent years, and nearby residents have been demolished and resettled to other places."
After continuing along the wall for a few minutes, the car stopped at a huge iron door.
Two rows of fully armed soldiers were guarding the door with a solemn expression on their faces.
"My car does not have a pass, so I guess I can't get in!" Bai Xiaoling turned around and said.
"Just come here." Chen Shouyi said.
He opened the car door, took his luggage from the trunk.
"Be careful!" Bai Xiaoling walked out of the car door and saw Chen Shouyi walking straight towards the door, and couldn't help but say.
Chen Shouyi turned around and smiled: "Yes, you go back."
...
Compared with the military defense zone that Chen Shouyi had entered before, this defense zone is obviously a little more commercial.
There is a supply supermarket specially opened for explorers, and a purchase point for precious herbs.
A logistics officer also specially presented a detailed full-color page herbal illustration, which also marked various acquisition prices.
Chen Shouyi turned a few pages and found that it was calculated in grams. Even the cheapest herb in another world can purchase a price of 5,000 yuan per gram, and the highest can even reach 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per gram, which is shocking.
"Isn't the meat here to buy it?" Chen Shouyi asked.
The logistics officer smiled and said, "We do not acquire meat. Explorers are the country's precious wealth. Policy does not encourage explorers to take risks and fight to avoid unnecessary casualties. Moreover, the country prohibits the buying and selling of meat in another world."
I see.
However, Chen Shouyi speculated that in addition to this reason, the biggest possibility is to prevent commercial invasion and make his explorers lose the motivation to explore unknown space channels.
Even an ordinary creature in another world is much stronger than a creature on earth, and is more nourishing to ordinary people. Once it is released, countless rich people will probably flock to it and be raised to sky-high prices.
When the explorer can earn a large amount of money by hunting in a space channel with a lower risk level, who will venture into the space channel with unknown risks.
After all, explorers who are born to love adventure and enjoy excitement are only a few, and most of them take risks for the sake of their interests.
Next, Chen Shouyi took a walk in the supply supermarket.
The supermarket is very small, mostly filled with military items, such as camouflage uniforms, engineer shovels, portable individual food, and some arrows.
Chen Shouyi spent more than a thousand yuan to buy a lighter specially used in another world and a military telescope.
As for food arrows, he had already purchased them in advance, but he didn't need to buy them anymore.
Then, Chen Shouyi walked into a heavily defended building, walked along a wide passage and passed through several thick iron gates. A few minutes later, a circular space passage with a diameter of more than 20 meters appeared in front of him.
Inside is a long metal-cast step that extends out of thin air from the entrance of the passage until the foot.
Feeling the strength of his body waking up again, he took a deep breath and he walked down the steps step by step.
When he reached the fifth step, Chen Shouyi's body suddenly sank, and the space around him changed instantly. When his eyes saw clearly again, he was already standing in the air more than ten meters above the ground, surrounded by dense forests, with several branches growing wildly, and even extending above the steps.
The strong wind flowed around him in disorder, and countless cyclones appeared out of thin air from time to time, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Chen Shouyi hurriedly held the metal guardrail on the stairs. If the air more than ten meters was on the earth, he would not be damaged if he jumped down. However, even with his current physical fitness, his bones would probably be broken by the falling bones.
Looking at the strong wind lingering around him, his thoughts moved and the wind dissipated instantly.
He continued to walk down.
The steps below have not been cleaned for a long time, and a thick layer of soil and dead leaves have accumulated, and are covered with lush weeds and thick leather boots, which are rustling on them.
The bottom of the steps was not built on the open space, but was built on a bumpy hill bun. Chen Shouyi looked at the exposed steel bars that still did not have much rust. The hill bun was obviously the concrete block that collapsed and fell above the passage.
He walked down the stairs, took a few light steps on the hillside, and soon walked down.
Chen Shouyi looked around and saw that the light was dark, with dense primeval forests in front, back, left and right. According to the map depicted by explorers before, his location was a flat land of a valley. Walking eastward for four or five kilometers, it was a grand canyon.
There is also a bottomless crack in the north, which is countless kilometers long.
However, Chen Shouyi did not come here to explore.
He opened his suitcase, took out the battle bow parts, quickly assembled it, tied the quiver to his waist, and then walked towards the forest with a sword.
...
"What an annoying bug!"
Chen Shouyi frowned slightly and bounced an insect trying to land on his face with his fingers. The insects hit the tree like bullets, bursting out a colorful ball of liquid.
There are many animals in the forest, but most of them are small, alert herbivores. Before he could get close, he fled far away.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he chose an open space under a big tree and stopped.
Then she released the shell girl.
"I've woken up long ago as soon as you come here." The shell girl flew up quickly and landed on Chen Shouyi's shoulder. Her little face said excitedly: "What a giant, are we still killing the evil giant this time?"
It's so difficult for you to remember it for so long.
"no."
"Oh!" The shell girl looked a little disappointed. After she looked at the surrounding environment, she quickly became excited: "It seems that this is not a small island, I want to go around and take a look!"
As he said that, he kicked his feet and flew up and flew towards the distance.
"Don't run too far!" Chen Shouyi said quickly behind. For creatures of her size, there were too many natural enemies in this forest.
"What a giant, I'm very obedient, I'll be back soon." The shell girl said as she flew.
She was indeed very obedient. After flying for more than ten meters, she flew back desperately and landed on Chen Shouyi's shoulder. She said in a panic: "What a giant, there is a very fierce bad bird that is eyeing me. It wants to eat me!"
"Where!" Chen Shouyi immediately picked up the battle bow vigilantly when he heard this.
"On the tree in front!" Chen Shouyi took a few steps, looked in the direction pointed by the shell girl, and decided for a long time before he saw a strange and emerald green bird under the hiding leaves.
It is said to be a bird, but in fact it is not a little similar to the birds on the earth.
It has a snake-like neck, covered with scales, a flat head, and a staggered fangs in its mouth, looking quite ferocious. No wonder the Shell Girl was frightened.
It is about twenty or thirty centimeters wide, and if it is from beginning to end, it is probably half a meter.
With the size of the Shell Girl, it probably would have been swallowed by it in just one bite.
At this time, he was squatting on the high branch, tilting his head, and a pair of fiery red eyes, looking quietly below.
"What a giant, it's this evil bad bird that is eyeing me." The shell girl grabbed Chen Shouyi's hair tightly, shrank it on her shoulders, and complained in a low voice.
Chen Shouyi nodded without saying a word, quietly pulled out an arrow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and then quickly let go. With a sharp roar, the arrow shot out like lightning.
The bird fell in response to the sound, flapping its wings and falling down.
It kept struggling on the ground, screaming loudly, and seemed quite fierce.
"This evil bad bird is not dead yet!" The shell girl screamed loudly at the bird close to her, looking nervous.
"What's the hurry?" Chen Shouyi said hilariously.
As he said that, he pulled out another arrow, shot it closer and directly shot its snake-like neck. The broken neck was still twisting, and his sharp mouth kept opening and closing.
