Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 197 The Crisis at the Construction Site (Part [-])

But when Feng Wenyan brought Ding Jiayi and Xu Zhiyong to visit the construction site, Wu Yunhao was not on the construction site.

At this moment, he is cutting down trees in the dense forest with many workers.

At the same time, Wu Yunhao, who is an awakened person, and some wasteland rangers are sitting in the town, which can also make many workers present feel at ease.

After all, it won't be long before winter, and the reduction in food makes the chances of alienated beasts and mutants appear much higher.

Swinging the iron ax in his hand, Wu Yunhao slashed at a tree in front of him.

The ax blade slashed fiercely on the hard tree trunk, cutting out many broken wood residues and flying sawdust from the tree trunk.

After three or four strikes with the axe, Wu Yunhao had already cut a gap in the big tree, and this thick and strong tree was already showing signs of crumbling.

Such a scene, even the homeless and the people in the outer city who have been used to it these days, still look at each other with a smile.

Although everyone knew that awakened people were very strong, none of them thought that awakened people could be so different from ordinary people in daily life.

The iron ax that ordinary people feel is extremely heavy in their hands, but Wu Yunhao can easily lift it and swing it like an ordinary axe.

What is even more incredible is that this kind of firmly welded iron ax will shake hands when cutting trees, so the axes used by everyone are generally with wooden handles.

But Wu Yunhao actually chopped off the wooden handles of two axes two days ago, and then there was an iron ax that was used by homeless people and residents in the outer city for self-defense.

So during this period of time, when the workers were resting, they secretly watched the awakened man known as the one-eyed dragon chopping down trees with a heavy iron ax in the woods.

Not long after, the big tree in front of Wu Yunhao could no longer support the balance at the gap in the column, so it fell towards the gap with a crackling sound.

Then, Wu Yunhao, who breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards the side with the iron ax in hand.

Sitting in the open space next to the resting workers, Wu Yunhao smiled and took a water bottle handed over by a worker.

Although at the beginning everyone was in awe of Wu Yunhao's identity as an awakened person, even at first, many people were afraid of Wu Yunhao who was always blindfolded.

However, after getting along with each other for the past two days, these homeless people and residents in the outer city found that this awakened person seemed quite approachable, except that he didn't talk much.

In his spare time, Wu Yunhao would sit directly with the resting workers, silently listening to their chats, and occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

Even though Wu Yunhao's cold humor did not bring much joy to these homeless people and the residents of the outer city, and even made the scene cold a few times, everyone felt that their relationship with Wu Yunhao was one step closer.

So much so that if there are no special circumstances, everyone seems to just regard Wu Yunhao as a small captain in the construction site, completely forgetting that the other party is an awakened wasteland ranger.

"Oh, Lao Li, I heard that your house is the first batch of houses,"

"Oh, don't mention it. I heard from the construction team that my house should be almost finished in two days. Don't worry, everyone. Our house is very well built. When I went back last night, I went to see it quietly."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this old Versailles, he says no, but his body is quite honest."

"That's right, Lao Li, don't forget to treat us all to some barbecue jerky when the time comes when we move. Don't forget that everyone has contributed to your house."

"That's for sure. At that time, I will ask my wife to cook two special dishes for everyone, so that everyone can taste her craft."

Listening to many resting workers talking about the progress of the recent construction of those wooden houses, Wu Yunhao, who was holding a kettle, also smiled along with them.

But at this moment, several workers with chainsaws and iron axes ran over in a panic from a distance.

They quickly came to Wu Yunhao, and then hurriedly said to Wu Yunhao: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, it's not good, something happened."

Frowning slightly, Wu Yunhao quickly stood up and asked the workers who hurriedly gathered beside him, "What's the matter, did you hit someone while cutting down a tree?"

The leading worker shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed towards the depths of the woods: "No, Mr. Wu, someone is missing, and there are bloodstains on the ground."

"The members of the wasteland ranger patrol have secured the scene, and then they asked me to come and find you, and said that they would also let you go and have a look."

Hearing the worker's answer, Wu Yunhao quickly put the kettle in his hand into the hand of the worker beside him, and raised his hand to signal to the worker who came to report.

Led by those nervous workers, Wu Yunhao was quickly led to the location where the worker disappeared.

At this time, Ding Shiyang, who got the news first, had already led the wasteland rangers to guard the surrounding area, and Ding Shiyang was still checking around the pool of blood.

Seeing Wu Yunhao walking over accompanied by a group of workers, Ding Shiyang nodded slightly towards him.

Quickly came to Ding Shiyang and squatted down, Wu Yunhao asked Ding Shiyang softly: "Alienated beast, or mutant?"

Winter is approaching, so many humans are working in the woods, they are the best prey for those hungry alienated beasts and mutants who urgently need to stockpile winter food.

Ding Shiyang naturally knew that whether it was the harassment of alienated beasts or mutant people, it would bring variables to the renovation plan of the shack area that had just started vigorously.

So, he deliberately smiled and patted Wu Yunhao's shoulder: "Don't worry, I haven't found any strange traces for the time being, it doesn't look like a mutant."

"As for whether it is an alienated beast living around, we still need to track down the nearby traces, and maybe we can rescue that unlucky brother."

Noticing that everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what he said, Ding Shiyang replied softly to Wu Yunhao: "It's a sign, it should be a trap."

"I speculate that there may be a large group of mutants nearby, and these guys are probably targeting us."

"Combined with these traps, I don't think these guys are necessarily easy to deal with, and looking at this posture, I'm afraid there will be actions in the future."

Hearing Ding Shiyang's words, Wu Yunhao frowned and nodded, "Okay, leave it to me at night."

After saying something to Ding Shiyang, Wu Yunhao stood up and raised his hand to the people around him: "Okay, everyone, go back and do the work first, we will naturally investigate this matter later."

"At the same time, try not to stay away from other people when you are working, so that you can take care of each other. After all, winter is coming now, so pay attention to alienated beasts."
