A few days later, Cloud Eagle had his stitches removed, and it was estimated that he would be able to make a complete recovery after another three to five days of recuperation.
This time of recuperation was the most comfortable time to live, not only did Cloud Eagle not need to be practiced as a sandbag like before, he lay down and rested every day, he had meat for three meals, and he was quite strong for a few days.
After a few days of living like this, Cloud Eagle was hoping to heal a little slower.
This time, the serious injury awakening, all parties have not small progress, cloud eagle did not feel a sudden improvement, that day dreamed of perhaps after all a dream, cloud eagle did not care too much about this, but also casually put it behind the back of the head.
The fifth day.
Yun Ying's injuries basically recovered.
Mantis then called him over to help.
Mantis's workshop, a table full of soaked specimens of some kind, and test tube racks full of test tubes of different liquids of different sizes, and all sorts of rudimentary and crude tools, was already commonplace to him.
A newly shipped body was placed on the dissection table, it was a young female corpse, presumably hadn't been dead for long, judging from her thin and bony appearance, probably starved to death, such corpses were everywhere.
"Mantis, what are you working on today now?" Cloudhawk was ready to get his hands dirty with his clip and knife, "Heart, liver, lungs, or something else!"
Although his injuries hadn't healed, he was still more than capable of doing this job.
Mantis bloody hands had just reached out from the belly of a guy who had been disemboweled, if Yun Ying was a newcomer, he might still be a bit uncomfortable, now that he had stayed in the regiment for more than a month, he had done this kind of thing himself many times, so he didn't feel any discomfort.
The three captains of the Yellow Springs mercenaries.
Mantis was the most elusive one.
Mantis is particularly cultured and knowledgeable, he can refine and formulate potions that can cure injuries from a mess of mutated plants, Yun Ying's injuries can heal so fast, all because of Mantis, so Yun Ying admires him very much.
Cloud Eagle has never seen Mantis do anything.
But even if Mantis only relies on his medical skills, he is not afraid to go without food in this era.
"Hang up."
Yun Ying was slightly stunned when he heard Mantis' instructions, this guy wouldn't be up to any strange experiments again, would he? But there was no nonsense, he immediately tied the corpse's arms and hoisted it up.
Mantis coldly pulled out a silver-colored revolver and laid it on the table.
When Yun Ying saw this revolver could not help but slightly stunned, this gun is Yun Ying snatched from the red nose there, but then Yun Ying passed out the gun is also missing, Yun Ying thought it was confiscated by the cunning fox, after all, the gun is considered an expensive item, Yun Ying such a rookie holding is also a waste.
"Shit, isn't this my gun? So it was taken away by you!"
Yun Ying was in charge of all the miscellaneous work in the mercenary group, which included gun maintenance and whatnot, so he was basically no stranger to guns.

Mantis pulled out an orange and yellow bullet and laid it on the table.
What does it mean?
Cloudhawk froze a bit.
Mantis pushed up his glasses, the lenses glinting so coldly that it was impossible to see his eyes, and reached out to point at the body hanging in front of him, saying in his usual cold tone, "You shoot it."
"That's not good, is it?"
Cloud Eagle certainly did not have the ridiculous idea of disrespecting a corpse.
What he was considering was how much of a waste of bullets it was to shoot someone dead!
"Do it!"
Mantis didn't know what kind of medicine was in his gourd, but since he was insistent on it there was nothing he could do, this ice cube face never said anything, not to mention the taste of live fire was something Cloud Eagle had always wanted to experience.
Pick up the pistol, set out the nest, stuffed with bullets, gently turn, the nest returned to the place.
Cloud Eagle does not have any gun experience, but I do not know why, but he feels incredibly skillful, just when he is about to raise the gun to pull the trigger.
Whoosh!
A cold aura cut through the mid-air and grazed his face and shot past.
Thump!
It was a narrow and cold scalpel, precisely and incomparably inserted into the corpse's brow, without the slightest deviation, the blade completely pierced in.
Yun Ying's entire jaw dropped involuntarily, staring with a pair of eyes full of disbelief.
"Draw, load, shoot, it took you four seconds, a third of my second is enough to slice your throat."
This was the first time he had seen Mantis take a shot.
Cloud Eagle didn't expect Mantis to be so powerful!
"You remember, the more complex, sophisticated and advanced the weapon is, instead, the more dangerous it is for the user, if you become dependent on it, then you are not far from death. A really good weapon is everywhere, easy to take, simple and fast, a really good killer, grass and trees can take lives."
The entire acquaintance of more than a month, Mantis shying away from words, never said so much in one breath, Cloud Eagle had a feeling of reacquainting himself with the other party.
He was a highly skilled doctor, he was a weird scientist who liked to open up corpses to look for mutated tissues, and he was also a magical apothecary who could extract medicines from mutated plants, but now it seemed that all of these were just sideline professions!
Cunning Fox is a gunslinger, Mad Dog is a fighter, and Mantis is an assassin.
Mantis might not be more evolved than Cunning Fox or Mad Dog, but killers were not necessarily the strongest, but definitely the most dangerous, and Cloud Eagle would rather mess with a maniac like Mad Dog, or even mess with a sinister guy like Cunning Fox, than mess with a viper like Mantis!
Cloud Eagle makes a flying dagger motion, "How am I going to be able to practice like you?"
"Your job is over, let's go." Mantis was gathering his tools on his own, "Get your gun!"
Cloud Eagle was a bit upset, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he almost jumped up in excitement. This guy's surface is cold, in fact, he is still a warm-hearted person, not only to keep the weapon for so many days to return to Yun Ying, but also by the way to give Yun Ying a lesson.
Guns and bullets in the wilderness are considered hard currency, and can always be exchanged for some food at any time.
Cloud Eagle is afraid that Mantis will regret, immediately took the gun and left.
Mantis was left to his own devices, not changing his expression from the beginning to the end.
When he returned to the hut, he took the pistol out, he was full of excitement and carefully stroked a few times, as if he was stroking his lover's hand, his mood has never been so excited.
Cloud Eagle heart clear, in fact, compared to firearms, the real expensive consumption is the bullet. Most mercenaries do not use firearms is too expensive bullets, every pound of fresh mutant meat but for ten pistol bullets only, unless it is a cunning fox such as the top masters, most people do not like to use the gun for economic reasons.
Regardless.
This was considered the first piece of valuable property owned by Cloud Eagle.
Cloud Eagle lying on the bed, the gun is placed next to it, even if there is only one bullet of, the heart is also one more point of security, now everything in the direction of good development.
Cloud Eagle let out a long sigh of relief.
He was just about to blow out the candle and go to sleep.
Who knows, several very loud and urgent sounds suddenly echoed over the campground.
When!
When!
Dang!
The tranquility in the shroud of night tore to shreds, Cloud Eagle had never heard such a sound, similar to a large bell crashing, loud and long, so abruptly ringing, let a person feel a little uneasy.
Cloudhawk wondered what was happening.
However, after living in the camp for more than a month, he was no longer as reckless as he was initially, and just cautiously pushed the door open to observe, and did not venture out.
The Black Flag camp seemed to have become very chaotic, with many people with torches running around and countless voices of alarm and commotion ringing out.
Cloud Eagle vaguely heard a mournful and fearful cry.
"Beast tide!"
"The beast tide is coming!"
Cloud Eagle came to the camp for more than a month, he is very clear about what the concept of a beast tide is, immediately there is a coldness toward the pores of the body straight into the body, and the uncontrollable fear quickly took root in the heart ...... bad!
Bang!
The wooden door violently kicked open.
Three guards rushed in and came up to arrest him without saying a word.
"What for?"
"The beast tide is coming, all men must join the battle, those who are cowardly, die!"
The whole camp was in chaos, the camp guards were arresting people everywhere, as long as they were men, they were driven out like ducks to form a temporary team.
Cloud Eagle did not have a chance to explain, the Yellow Springs mercenaries as an important fighting force, the place they went to would definitely not be safer than here, he was sent into a team of more than two hundred people in size.
The sound of clanking and jangling rang out.
A camp guard in steel armor came over, he was covered with at least two or three layers of leather or armor and wore a half-faced breathing mask, the other camp guards stood to the side when they saw him, this well-equipped and tough young man was clearly the ringleader, "I'm Squad Leader Lane, a member of the Black Flag Camp Elite Corps, I'm in charge of commanding your defense this time. "
Captain Ryan pronounced his words with great effort, each syllable blocked as if a wrench had been thrown into a rolling gear, he had a deep scar on his neck, presumably from a wound that had injured his vocal cords.
"There is now a large herd of mutant beasts about to attack the camp!"
"All of you, grab your weapons, defend the camp and fight to the end!"
Captain Ryan's hoarse voice was like a low night lord, which also made people feel shivering.
