My Super Apocalypse Tank - Chapter 336
c336 primitive tribe
The primitive tribe is not big, with only thirty or so igloos, which are like the igloos built by the Inuit, but much taller than those built by the Inuit. They are basically four or five meters high. As long as Gu Ming sees primitive people walking outside who are two or three meters tall, he knows why their houses are built so high.
The entire primitive tribe is surrounded by a ten-meter-high wall. There are also several simple watchtowers on the wall, with primitive people on guard. This primitive tribe has a certain military mobilization capability, which makes Gu Ming a little surprised. It seems that because of the outbreak of the doomsday, the primitive people have not only evolved physically, but also have higher IQs. I just don’t know if they will develop civilization.
Gu Ming saw that the momentum exuded by the three-meter-tall primitive people was similar to his, which means that these three-meter-tall primitive people have the strength of third-level enhancers, and those primitive people below three meters are second-level enhancers. Although they are few in number, they are very strong.
These primitive people should have regressed to their ancestors under the influence of the zombie virus and meteorites. Everyone looks like an ancient human who has not evolved at all. They are covered with long black hair that cannot be covered by animal skins, unlike the white hair of zombies.
“Woo——”
Gu Ming saw a three-meter-tall primitive man blowing a cow horn. Soon, the people of the entire primitive tribe came out of the ice house. He also saw children and pregnant women. There were very few old people, and basically no one could see them. As long as he thought of the custom that before the end of the world, these primitive tribes would automatically leave the tribe and go into the forest to wait for death when the elderly reached a certain age, he didn’t find it strange.
What do they want to do? Some primitive people moved a lot of mutant beast corpses from a large ice house and piled them on the open space outside. Soon the open space was filled with mutant beast corpses. There were more than a thousand mutant beast corpses.
Gu Ming saw the primitive people take out a few simple sleds tied together with ropes as a means of transportation. Where are they transporting the mutant beast corpses to? Gu Ming was really curious.
Are they going to pay tribute to the big tribe? It is possible. If the primitive people in the Amazon forest are all in such tribes, then it will definitely lead to the big fish eating the small fish. It is not surprising to have large tribes. What makes Gu Ming strange is that if such a large tribe really exists, small tribes cannot exist. How did this small tribe survive?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Gu Ming thought about it so hard that his head hurt, but he still couldn’t figure it out. He gave up thinking. Anyway, he would know what was going on if he followed them. He bypassed the tribe and went from another direction, following the primitive team. Because the opponent’s strength was not bad, there were three three-meter-tall primitive people in this team of more than ten people, which means that there were three people who were as strong as Gu Ming. Even if Wangcai was by his side, Gu Ming didn’t want to go to war with the opponent easily. After all, killing these primitive people would not bring any benefits. Gu Ming was not a fool, so he should avoid thankless things.
Those primitive people didn’t know that there was a man and a dog following them. They just offered tribute to the tribe’s patron god. All the tribes in the forest did the same. If any tribe didn’t follow the god’s rules, then all the people in that tribe would be eaten by the god. They were no match for the god.
Gu Ming didn’t know that these primitive people were thinking about their god. He just felt that these primitive people had language to communicate, unlike some rumors heard before the doomsday that primitive people didn’t have language at all. He didn’t know whether they had language to communicate before the doomsday or only had language after the doomsday.
There were no grass, vines or other plants blocking the way where the primitive team walked. The road they walked seemed to have been specially cleaned by them. It seemed that they walked this road frequently. Gu Ming found that there were some wooden boards on the ground of this road. It seemed that this was a road specially built by the primitive people, but it looked very simple.
After walking behind the primitive team for an hour, Gu Ming heard a lot of howling. There should be a lot of primitive people not far ahead. Those sounds should be a lot of primitive people talking.
Although Gu Ming was very curious about the situation ahead, he found that the trees ahead were becoming fewer and fewer, while the number of primitive people was increasing. If he and Wangcai followed behind, they would not be able to hide their figures. He had to stop. He and Wangcai stayed for a while, and waited until the howling in front of them quieted down before he continued to move forward.
They still found a tree that was 200 meters high. Gu Ming climbed up the trunk with Wangcai and looked forward carefully.
Gu Ming found that the frozen Amazon River was a few hundred meters ahead. Judging from the width of its ice, it should be the main stream. The trees on both sides of the river were specially cleaned up. There were densely packed primitive people wearing various animal skins standing on the ice in front. He estimated that there should be more than 5,000 people. This number was a bit too much. Gu Ming really couldn’t imagine what these primitive people were doing on the ice of the Amazon River with the corpses of mutant beasts.
There was an empty space in the middle of this group of primitive people. Gu Ming found that the corpses of mutant beasts brought by this group of primitive people were piled there. There were more than 100,000 of them, and there were all kinds of mutant beasts. Could these primitive people be offering sacrifices? Gu Ming thought to himself.
“Hula-Hula–”
Thousands of primitive people knelt on the ice, kowtowing and shouting. It looked a bit like the scene of ancient humans offering sacrifices to gods, or a bit like a cult offering sacrifices to gods.
Gu Ming looked at the big red dot on the meteorite radar in his hand. He felt a little strange. The meteorite seemed to appear suddenly. This was unscientific. The meteorite radar could detect within a range of 100 kilometers. However, he was not a scientist and did not know why this happened. He thought about asking Gu Ke, the director of the institute, after returning to the base.
At this time, Wang Cai’s ears stood up. Gu Ming saw Wang Cai’s performance and knew that something had happened. He asked Wang Cai in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“Woof!”
Wang Cai also shouted in a low voice. His eyes were staring at the pile of mutant beast corpses seriously, as if there was a monster under the ice that was about to rush out. Gu Ming didn’t need to guess that there should be a mutant beast king under the Amazon River. This can also explain why this group of primitive people brought the corpses of mutant beasts to sacrifice. This is to pay protection fees.
“Hua La!”
Just as the primitive man continued to kowtow and pray, a giant beast under the Amazon River woke up. It opened its eyes as big as the front of a truck, and climbed up from its body that was more than 100 meters long buried in the mud. It quickly swam towards the ice surface, and the ice surface that was more than ten meters thick was pierced by the giant beast like thin paper.
The moment he saw the head of the giant beast pop up, Gu Ming saw clearly what kind of animal it was. It was a mutant crocodile, but it was very different from the mutant crocodiles he had seen before. The head of the other party looked like the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a bit of atavism, and the meteorite radar showed that it was this mutant crocodile king. This was a mutant beast king that swallowed a large meteorite. The meteorite in its stomach should not have been digested completely. If it had been digested, Gu Ming’s meteorite radar would not have been able to show it at all.
In fact, what Gu Ming didn’t know was that this mutant crocodile king basically ate all the meteorites in the Amazon forest. Of course, most of the meteorites were not found by it itself, but by these primitive tribes. Although these primitive people didn’t know what the benefits of meteorites were, they were not stupid. Some primitive people secretly hid some meteorites and ate them directly. It can be said that they became so strong because of swallowing meteorites.
Now there is still a meteorite in the stomach of the mutant crocodile king that has not been digested. This is because it just swallowed a meteorite not long ago. It has to digest it slowly while sleeping.
Gu Ming didn’t know that the primitive people directly ate meteorites as food. If he knew, he might be shocked. You know, Gu Ke of the Institute has long conducted various studies on meteorites, such as feeding animals, taking death row prisoners for experiments, etc. He has done them one by one, but humans swallowing meteorites is courting death. No matter where they find meteorites, they cannot be swallowed directly. These meteorites that fall from the sky are highly toxic to humans when swallowed into the stomach. They can only be left outside as a catalyst to promote human evolution.
The mutant crocodile king crawled out from under the ice. He ignored the primitive people who kowtowed and started eating directly at the mutant beasts. Although he would not die if he did not eat for several months, eating mutant beasts was also good for the mutant crocodile king. These mutant beast corpses were the best source of energy for him.
In just a few minutes, a large number of mutant beast corpses disappeared in the mutant crocodile king’s mouth. Gu Ming could only say that he was a real glutton.
“Ah–”
After the mutant crocodile king finished eating the mutant beasts, it turned its head and looked at the hiding place of Gu Ming and Wang Cai, which made Gu Ming secretly think that it was not good and was discovered.
Sure enough, an energy ball flew towards Gu Ming and Wang Cai from the mutant crocodile king’s mouth. When Wang Cai looked over at the mutant crocodile king, he was ready for battle. He was also a mutant beast king. If anyone treated him as a local dog, he would die.
“Woof——”
Wangcai shot out the same energy ball from his mouth. The two energy balls collided but did not annihilate. A dazzling light bloomed across the world like the sun just coming out from the sea level.
“Bang——”
The light ball exploded like a bubble, like a nuclear bomb with millions of equivalents exploding. A mushroom cloud emitting white light rose from the place where the light balls met. Gu Ming was blown away by the aftermath of the explosion shock wave. He had been prepared for the impact and firmly grasped the trunk of the tree, but who knew it was completely useless. He flew away like a ping-pong ball being hit by someone. Fortunately, he was strong and had a strong physical fitness. Although he didn’t know how many trees were broken by his back, he fell heavily from the sky to the ground.
Gu Ming climbed up and spit out a mouthful of blood. He had several broken bones in his body, but it was not a big problem. Fortunately, he was at the edge of the explosion. If he was in the center, he might have turned into ash. The group of primitive people should have suffered heavy casualties. The mutant crocodile king did not regard them as his subordinates at all.
Wangcai saw that his master had only vomited blood and was not in danger of death. He began to grow bigger and soon reached more than 100 meters long. He was ready to fight with all his strength.
“Woof——”
The battle horn sounded, and Wangcai flew away. The two giant beasts collided in the air. The aftermath of their battle swept the primitive people who had just survived the explosion, killing them all.
