Chapter 86: Encounter with a Scavenger
Tian Ling's handling was proper, and everyone felt firm from the bottom of their hearts. People walked quickly to the camp, and sure enough, there was a great benefit, so that the mercenary group had more advantages in occupying resources, and being ahead of others, even if it was only for a day or two, could play a vital role in future development.
"We have land and houses, we already have financial security. However, while retaining resources, it is difficult to obtain more resources, and our strength is far from enough. Zhang Tong paused and continued: "The previous mandatory task is not over yet. Let's start the upgrade before releasing a new mandatory task. ”
Everyone said that at the same time, morale was very high.
Thunder suggested, "If you want to fight monsters, you'd better go to the lobby and complete some bonus quests. The reward quest itself has a good experience reward and a large amount of gold rewards. Currently, there is only one mercenary group in the camp, so there is no competition!"
"Old Black is right. You can form a team to take on bonus missions below E-level difficulty in order to earn money as you level up. Zhang Tong was very satisfied with Lei Ming's proposal: "Because I have other plans, I will not participate in this mission for the time being." ”
"Ah, what are you going to do?"
"I have already studied the map, and in the next two days I will go to the nearby area to investigate and survey, get a clear picture of the situation in the vicinity, and at the same time collect useful information to lay a good foundation for future exploration. Of course, try your luck by the way, if you can find a treasure chest or something, you'd be the best!"
"Are you too dangerous?" Lin Caiyan couldn't help frowning, "I'm a priest, I can join you......"
Leng Yun saw Lin Caiyan open his mouth, not to be outdone, and said, "I can too, I can add blood and export!"
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need to. Zhang Tong directly refused: "The rangers are very comprehensive. While it's not obvious to play their role in a team, they are a great class to walk alone. Even if I'm absent, the team won't be affected. Lin Caiyan is a pastor, and Leng Yun is a Su Yuan teacher. They are all indispensable elements of the team. At this point, he paused and continued, "Don't worry, I'm not going to have an accident. Can you have faith in me?"
Zhang Tong said this, and the others were not reluctant. He's right. Ranger aren't particularly good, but they're the most well-rounded profession, fast and fair in offense. They can use a wide variety of skills to attack from near and far.
Leng Yun didn't want to see Zhang Tong take risks, which showed that he had made up his mind. All he needed to do was say, "Bring black paws and be careful." ”
"Alright, let's split up!"
Zhang Tongxian did some preparations, went to the equipment store to spend money to repair the equipment, and then went to the department store to buy a pair of goggles, a large bucket of drinking water that could fit in a backpack, No. 4 ammunition, crude detection equipment, hemostatic and anesthetic powder, and other simple accident necessities. Only then did he return to his abode and take his black paws with him. A man and a beast came out of Simon and left the camp.
......
The sky at Camp Dawn was overcast all year round. The occasional sunshine is stunning. It was short-lived, and soon it was covered again by thick gray clouds.
The wilderness is uninhabited, the sky is dusty, and there is hay and dilapidated buildings everywhere. Since ancient times, there seems to have been little change, always a desolate and desolate scene.
Zhang Tong left the camp and walked in a certain direction for nearly an hour, stopping to rest in front of the broken wall. Although it is said that there are very few dangerous monsters in Camp Dawn for more than ten miles, nothing is absolute, and one must not let their guard down. Zhang Tong's equipment has just been repaired, and the durability has decreased a lot after maintenance, but one or two repairs will not have much impact on the quality of the equipment. The armor has shiny armor leaves, a cloak that flutters in the wind, and brown goggle lenses to reduce eye irritation from bright light. They held long shotguns in both hands and carefully observed their surroundings.
Black Paw stood aside, dark golden eyes wary.
Zhang Tong did not find any danger. He pulled out a tablet-like locator and 50 gold coins from a department store. Zhang Tong lit up a few light spots on the screen, next to it are the coordinates, that is, the starting point is the location of the camp, and then another place lights up a light point, which is the current location, and the coordinates are also displayed.
The two points of light are connected to calculate the straight-line distance, and the route Zhang Tong has traveled is represented by a dashed line, which is a curve with a slight radian. With this tool, it is almost impossible for players to get lost in the wild. Of course, locators are easily affected by the environment, so they can be easily confused.
"Unexpectedly, I still took a lot of detours. The straight-line distance is 4 kilometers and there is nothing wrong with the direction. Zhang Tong stuffed the instrument into his backpack, picked up the gun again, and looked around: "This may be the place where the treasure chest is hidden?"
There's a good treasure chest here. The chest closest to the camp in my memory is very credible, so Zhang Tong made it his first target. This chest is different from a normal chest. It is said to develop good skills.
Yuan Ye is very empty, less than 1 km away, there is a ruin of buildings, and there is a tower-like building, which is even more conspicuous. The spawn location of normal chests is instantaneous, while special chests like those on the Spore Plains have a fixed location and will only appear in some special places.
If there's a treasure chest here, it should be there!
"Blackclaw, keep up!"
Zhang Tong jumped down from the stone and ran in that direction with his black paws.
It is a small factory surrounded by barbed wire and fences. In total, there are two or three buildings. Many corroded metal fragments piled up on the ground. There are also several trucks that have been dismantled and abandoned for a long time. The corrosion of the metal surface is very severe. Once upon a time, this place could have been a car repair shop. I don't know why it was abandoned.
"It's nerve-wracking. The job of a treasure chest hunter is not easy. Zhang Tong looked at the dilapidated buildings, piled up like a mountain of metal fragments, and wiped his sweat painfully. "Boy, there's still some to find!"
Wild treasure chests need a chance to meet. Even if we use memories from past lives to get more detailed chest locations, it won't be easy to find.
Zhang Tong put his black paw outside, turned into the wall, and began to search hard.
"Where did you get all this scrap metal from?"
Zhang Tong slung the gun over his shoulder and used it carefully. He finally removed the hundreds of kilograms of metal that were blocking the building. He was exhausted and out of breath. Looking inside, he saw a pile of parts, and the air was filled with a corrosive smell.
Only one by one opens the search.
Zhang Tong sighed and prepared to continue working.
"Wow-wow!"
The black paws outside suddenly screamed twice.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Tong was frightened and held the shotgun in his hand from behind. At this moment, black claws jumped over the barbed wire and jumped in from the outside. The corpse, weighing hundreds of kilograms, was crushed by many metal fragments. It looked restless and yelled at Zhang Tong.
There is no danger along the way. Are there any difficulties that arise?
Zhang Tong made a silent gesture and climbed over the wall to look into the distance. Sand and dust churned on the horizon with a faint rumbling sound. After Zhang Tong saw clearly, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and his heart let out an ominous cry... Impressively, in this direction is a row of heavy locomotives.
"It's broken!"
Zhang Tong slid off the fence because the movement was so intense that dust covered his face.
There is no one in the wild, and even if there is, it is impossible to start the car!
There is only one possibility!
It's another intelligent creature!
If intelligent creatures appear, it will definitely be no good, and the intelligent creatures that dare to haunt near the Dawn Camp will definitely not be weak, at least much stronger than Zhang Tong, and it is definitely not an existence that he can deal with now.
Zhang Tong didn't understand why he was so unlucky. It is possible to encounter other sapient creatures in the wild, but in the vicinity of the station occupied by Camp Dawn (Da) or Camp Dawn (Da), alien races will not approach easily due to the protection of robot soldiers. Zhang Tong unexpectedly met about ten miles from Camp Dawn. I have to say, that's terrible!
Run away?
No way.
The surrounding area is out of space. If you leave the abandoned repair shop, it will be as striking as a moving target and will be spotted immediately! There is a motorcycle on the other side, and it will definitely not run!
Help me.
Too late!
It is located about 5 km from Camp Dawn. The distance is more than 10 miles. Not far, not far. The mechanical patrol of Camp Dawn could not go that far. Even if the direction of the camp is detected, it is unlikely that it will get here in a short time.
I can't win, I can't run, let alone have foreign help, so it seems like I can only pray. Hopefully these people are just passing through!
"Blackclaw, hide first!"
The black claws are hidden in a pile of metal ruins.
Zhang Tong held the gun, and the cat hid behind the fallen wreckage with his waist, aiming his shotgun at the entrance.
The sound of the locomotive is getting closer. After about ten minutes, it finally arrived at the repair shop. Zhang Tong frowned, his trigger hand pointing at the sweat, hoping they were just passing by. Unfortunately, the locomotive rumbled and ended up in front of the repair shop.
"Squeak......
Several voices were heard outside the repair shop.
Zhang Tong couldn't understand and couldn't tell which language it was.
Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang", and the hundreds of kilograms of iron door were lifted down, and several figures walked in from outside, Zhang Tong frowned slightly, holding the suction.
About six people, tall, short, fat, and thin, not much different in size from humans. The majority of the body is mechanical, and a small part is made up of flesh and blood. No doubt...... It's a biochemical tribe.
[Scavenger (Silver Leader), level 15 biochemical team, 2800 health, 1800 magic.] Nature??? cyborgs were exiled from various concentration camps for their heinous crimes, they had no fixed place to live, they pretended to be scavengers, roamed the wilderness, and made a living by hunting for treasure.
The lives and magic of these scavengers may vary depending on the profession, but one thing is the same. Waste pickers are usually silver medalists in Year 15!
Zhang Tong's equipment level can't even beat one!
Could it be that the treasure chest has not been found and is going to be planted here?
