The sky has completely turned into a huge dark screen, which means that the three-month-long dark season has finally begun.

All the "seeds" including the ashes were brought into a cleaned carriage, guarded by four men in black carrying strange guns. As for the others, under the command of Margaret, they began to build fortifications on the periphery of the central market.

There are not many people in this group of men in black. After all, there are about two hundred people gathered together. So many living people gathered together, which is enough to attract thousands of crazy wild beasts.

"This group of brainless guys..." Ashes tilted his hands on the window of the carriage, silently staring at the busy men in black. They were very quick and they cooperated with each other very tacitly. Although these men in black had not revealed their identities, Ashes had already come up with a rough guess in his heart.

These people... should be soldiers of the Rhine Empire, and they are also elite troops with a rare number.

They buried a large number of sharpened wooden stakes on the outside of the market, pointing the tips of the stakes obliquely to the outside, and were wrapped with thick wire with barbed wires. At the beginning, the survivors in the isolation area did the same, but the facts proved that this simple wire fence could play a very limited role in the face of wild beasts.

Behind the wire fence, the black-clad people piled up more than a dozen barricades with sandbags, which were arranged in an interlaced manner like fish scale arrays. Between each barricade and wire fence, the black-clad people sprinkled a large number of caltrops to fill the gaps.

After all this, the men in black were divided into several groups, hid behind the barricades made of sandbags, and quietly waited for the arrival of the beast tide.

Ashes took a deep breath. It seemed that his escape plan had to be advanced. He originally thought that this group of people would have some killer moves against the beast tide. However, the facts proved that everything they did was not much different from the five hundred people who were destroyed a few years ago.

Their only advantage is the strange guns in their hands. However, the Dark Season is not only one or two days, and the beast tide will only appear one or two waves. Even if they carry more ammunition, they will definitely run out. At that time, it will be a unilateral massacre of humans by wild beasts.

Ashes didn't want to die in this place with this group of outsiders. Even without weapons and food, his chance of surviving alone was higher than that of hundreds of people gathered together to fight the beast tide.

Ashes's eyes were taken back from outside and looked around the car... Including himself, there were a total of 26 "seeds". Under the influence of various factors such as fatigue, sleepiness and fear, many of these children have already curled up on the floor of the car and fell asleep. As for the few who are still awake, they are basically trembling in the corner of the car, and some simply crawl directly under the table.

Ashes touched the two slices of dry bread in his pocket, and kept thinking about ways to get out.

These foods were sent to them by the man in black, and a portion of the ashes was also obtained. Although bread is an extremely common food outside, it is a rare good thing in the isolation area - ten years have been enough to rot the flour stored in the warehouse. There are neither wheat fields nor mills that can still be operated in the isolation area. It is harder to eat a piece of fresh bread than climbing to the sky.

The men in black who entered the isolation area carried a large amount of supplies, and the tool for transporting these supplies was an armored chariot powered by steam. The chariot was parked on the open space of the central market, and next to the chariot was the leather tent used for physical examination.

Taking advantage of the other party's inattention, he snatched away the armored vehicle? This idea was only a moment ago and was wiped out by the ashes. Although he had never seen such expensive war machines with his own eyes, the knowledge he learned from the book made him know that if he wanted to mobilize this giant, at least three skilled operators would be needed.

It is completely unrealistic to want to escape from here with the help of an armored vehicle.

As for finding other people as helpers, he had no idea at all. Not to mention whether other children would cooperate with him. Even if they completely obeyed their orders and relying solely on the little knowledge they gained from books, they would not be able to turn these people who had never been exposed to such things into a qualified armored vehicle driver.

Even Ashes himself only has theoretical knowledge and no practical experience.

...

In the dark season, the passage of time always makes people feel unusually slow. Although the hand on the pocket watch shows that time has only passed three hours, Margaret felt that it seemed that a whole day had passed, and a feeling of unintentional irritability gradually grew in her heart.

"Here you come!"

A man in black at the front barricade suddenly shouted loudly, Margaret, who was holding a thorn sword and leaning against a carriage, closed his eyes and pretending to be asleep, immediately bounced from the spot and walked quickly to the back of the defensive front.

This is a group of wild dogs, with a number of about thirty. Compared with the hunting dogs raised by the nobles of the imperial capital backed by the old days, these wild breeds are stronger in size, with their limbs constantly driving their bodies to run at high speed, their bloody red eyes staring at the defense line built by the people in black, and the smelly and sticky saliva at the corners of their mouths are constantly swinging with the airflow brought by the running.

Even the most experienced hunters in the quarantine area will inevitably panic when encountering such a situation. This is just an appetizer before the large-scale beast tide arrives.

"Load the bullet! Get ready for the battle!" Margaret's voice was extremely calm. She raised the stinging sword in her hand and pointed horizontally at the group of wild dogs that were charging towards the defense line, just like a duel ready to go.

"Three consecutive shots, two rounds of shooting, release!" The sword suddenly swung down, and the sword body and air made a clear whistling sound during the high-speed friction. The men in black who were squatting behind the barricade pulled the trigger neatly at the moment of ordering!

The gunshot sounds made by this strange weapon are very small, similar to the sounds made when a metal knife and fork collided. Ashes have always suspected that this weapon did not use gunpowder as the power to drive the projectile. However, if gunpowder is not used, what force will push the projectile out of the chamber?

Although the gunshots are not as earth-shaking as the flints, the results of these two rounds of shooting are extremely amazing. A large number of blood bloomed from the wild dogs. The dozen wild dogs rushing in the front were immediately killed by high-speed projectiles. One of the wild dogs with half of their heads was even continued to run forward for several meters under the action of inertia before falling heavily to the ground.
