Chapter 281 Gunshot
Ninety-five days after birth.
Two days have passed since the survivors from Kangcheng and Mucheng joined forces.
With a larger population and greater fighting force, the migrating caravans are now virtually impregnable.
Tiger Dad's Black Flame Domain cleared the way, and together they left the rugged, complex forest and entered the boundless snowfield.
Although the team was large, it did not feel cumbersome during the march and could still maintain a speed of about 100 kilometers per day.
The vast snowfields made hunting easier.
After all, for the Cangnian family, the success of a hunt does not depend on how fast the prey runs, but on how long it takes to find the prey.
Cang Nian has yet to encounter an opponent who can match his speed.
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +2500! (612029/1000000)]
After killing a giant elk, a system notification sounded in Cang Nian's mind.
He has found hunting quite easy these past two days.
In any case, Kangcheng, Mucheng, and the Black King Snake are all major consumers of food.
Millions of people, during their physically demanding migrations, can consume nearly a thousand tons of food per day.
However, their food supply is not a concern for the elderly.
The two cities together have more than 10,000 evolved beings. If they can't support a million people by cooperating in hunting, then there's no need to migrate; they might as well just wait to die.
Just as the little sable put its prey into its storage space, Cang Nian raised his head and looked ahead.
Amidst the cacophony of hoofbeats and neighing from the deer herd being hunted by his family, as well as those from Kangcheng and Mucheng, there were some abrupt yet remarkably rhythmic sounds.
However, now was the crucial moment of the hunt, and Cangnian only hesitated for a moment before putting it out of his mind.
The evolvers from Kangcheng and Mucheng, along with their own family, had formed a pincer movement, completely surrounding the large moose herd of over a thousand animals.
If this hunt is successful, capturing 30-40% of the moose herd will yield over a thousand tons of food.
A typical male moose can reach 500 kilograms when it grows up.
A first-order moose can weigh more than one and a half tons.
At the second stage, they generally weigh more than 2.5 tons.
Therefore, only three or four hundred are needed to reach a volume of a thousand tons.
Pa~!
[Ding! Rock Smash skill proficiency increased by 1 (5555/10000)]
Cangnian kills one target at a time with each claw, aiming to eliminate as many targets as possible during the hunt.
The moose herd, under the hunting party's wrath, huddled together and galloped southward.
Although they had surrounded the moose like dumplings, even Cang Nian didn't dare to rush directly in front of the moose herd and force them to stop.
The combined power of thousands of behemoths weighing over a ton charging together is no joke.
Even the most aged creatures wouldn't dare say they could withstand wave after wave of their attacks.
Generally, they attack from the side, killing targets on the periphery of the deer herd.
In order to avoid causing devastating damage to migrating herbivores, each hunt is only conducted in small, targeted areas.
Hunt as much as you can eat.
At most, they can store up enough food for three to five days.
Too many of them will slow down the migration of the herd.
The rest is simply letting them escape.
Anyway, as long as the migration direction is the same, they will meet again.
At most, today you might encounter a herd of moose, and tomorrow a herd of elk.
Soon, the hunt was almost over, and Cangnian stopped killing.
The hunting teams from Kangcheng and Mucheng did not continue the pursuit. After releasing the moose herd, they began to collect the prey along the way and drag it back to the migrating caravan.
"Haha! We really have to thank Tiger! Otherwise, how could our hunt have been so easy?"
Yi Chen, who was riding Pipi and directing the hunt, came to Cangnian's side and expressed his gratitude.
As for Cang Nian, after the deer herd had run far away and there was less interference, he could hear the earlier sounds more clearly.
Da da da……
Da da da……
"That sound...it sounds like a gunshot!"
After listening intently for a moment, Cang Nian's pupils suddenly dilated dramatically!
Kangcheng and Mucheng also have firearms and ammunition, but they are all for police use. They are powerful enough to easily kill second-tier evolved creatures, but as for third-tier evolved creatures, it depends on whether they can hit vital organs.
Just like when he encountered the queen insect before, Qin Changyi used a gun to attack, which could penetrate the shell, but because he couldn't identify the vital points, the effect was minimal.
However, if it encounters a typical third-tier evolved creature, a fatal hit can still kill it.
However, the speed of biological evolution is now too fast, and their intuition is also very strong.
Even a sharpshooter like Qin Changyi would find it difficult to kill someone by hitting a vital spot with his gun.
As for compensating for accuracy with a hail of bullets, Kangcheng and Mucheng can't afford to play that game right now.
The two cities combined didn't even have a thousand proper guns, and the ammunition was all handmade.
More importantly, there wasn't much raw material available.
"Ouch~!"
Once he confirmed that the sound he heard was a gunshot, Cangnian gestured and howled at Yichen.
This might be yet another human migration group!
Moreover, judging from the sounds, it seems there are quite a few guns!
"Tiger, are you saying there's a human migration caravan ahead?"
After reading Cangnian's statement, Yichen was surprised.
After all this time, the only cities Kangcheng knew of that still had survivors were Kangcheng himself and Mucheng.
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian nodded, confirming Yi Chen's interpretation.
"Then... I'll go see Uncle Qin. If they're part of the same migrating group, can I bring them in as well?"
Having received Cangnian's confirmation, Yichen tentatively asked.
Cang Nian thought for a moment and nodded again.
As the saying goes, whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's still the same thing.
Moreover, with more people under one's protection, one might receive more offerings.
With Qin Changyi's methods, there's no need to worry about repaying kindness with ingratitude.
……
Soon, Yichen found Qin Changyi and Liao Yongchun. The three of them rode on Pipi, and together with Cangnian, they set off lightly.
Making contact with the new migrating group was naturally easier with these two officials from before the spiritual energy revival.
Soon, after rushing south for more than ten kilometers, Cang Nian's gaze became increasingly solemn.
Because the gunfire was too intense!
This is not something that can be achieved with just a few dozen or a few hundred guns!
Thinking of this, Cang Nian turned his head to look at Qin Changyi and Liao Yongchun on Pipi's body.
Cang Nian was not familiar with the snowy mountains of Northeast China.
Moreover, he doesn't even know if this life is on the same Earth as the previous one.
Perhaps the two are just parallel worlds, and in some ways, they are quite different.
"This... such a large-scale gunfire, we've probably reached the border!"
This should be the 79th Army Group of China stationed on the border with North Korea.
"The nearest city... should be Yancheng!"
Qin Changyi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
