The red light on the white door frame was a little dazzling, although he didn't know the meaning of those letters, Zheng Hao also understood that the operation was not over.

This is a hospital in Los Angeles, Situ Mingyue is in the operating room, in addition to Zheng Hao and Kelly, there are two men in leather armor standing in the corridor.

Both are typical of Western men, with high noses and deep eye sockets, similar facial contours, and a father and son.

Father Wayne. Thomas was about forty years old, tall and large, with the marks of wind and frost all over his face, and his face was red.

He was talking to Kelly in English, and occasionally looked at Zheng Hao with apologetic eyes.

Son Jay. Thomas, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, was sitting in a chair in the hallway with his head downcast, though as strong as his father's, but with a very young face.

It was he who used a large-caliber sniper rifle to shoot a high-explosive grenade, and the explosion caused fragments of car parts to burst out and hit Situ Mingyue in the chest.

"Hao, this is an accident, Mr. Thomas and his son are witchers, and they will be responsible for Situ's medical expenses."

"Hmph, is my brother short of money? If it weren't for the sake of the little guy or the child, my brother wouldn't have spared them. ”

Zheng Hao listened to Kelly's relay, he snorted angrily, and asked again, "Demon hunter?" What is it? ”

"The Witchers are survivors who can fight alien creatures, and they are professional hunters who are responsible for clearing the city of threats." Kelly patiently explained.

In the operating room, several nurses in full-body protective suits were busy back and forth, handing scalpels, hemostats, and suction devices to doctors.

More than two hours later, the doctor found a piece of iron the size of a fingernail from near Situ Mingyue's heart, carefully pulled it out, and threw it into the operating plate.

The culprit of the wound was found, and the doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief, and the wounded were sent by demon hunters, all of whom were outlaws.

In case the operation fails, it is also a big trouble for the other party to not give up.

After a short time, Situ Mingyue's wound was stitched up, and she was pushed out of the operating room and sent to the ward.

Knowing that Situ Mingyue was fine, but only because the anesthesia period had not passed, he would fall asleep, Zheng Hao and Kelly were relieved.

Also relaxed are Thomas and his son, Zheng Hao and his son can fight more than a dozen zombies in close combat, and they are safe and sound in the explosion of a high-explosive grenade, and their strength is enough to kill their father and son in seconds.

Zheng Hao said to Kelly: "Kelly, I'll go with you, the changed Los Angeles is no longer a city you are familiar with." ”

Kelly's parents live in Los Angeles, and if she hadn't tried to get hurt, she would have rushed home.

"Nope! Situ hasn't woken up yet, she needs someone to take care of her, and I can let little Thomas accompany me. ”

Kelly shook her head, she wanted to know about her parents.

"Well, call old Thomas as soon as there is any situation."

Kelly insisted on letting Zheng Hao accompany Situ Mingyue, and after Zheng Hao entered the city, he found that Los Angeles was in order, and there were signal towers in the city to provide communication, so he asked Jay to accompany Kelly out of the hospital together.

After Kelly left, Wayne took out a small sealed box from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Hao.

He pointed to Situ Mingyue and motioned for Zheng Hao to open it.

It is a small lead box, only the size of a cigarette case, and the portions are not very heavy.

Zheng Hao pressed the buckle, opened the lid of the box, and the familiar energy fluctuations were transmitted.

"The lowest-level magic crystal is still incomplete."

Lying in the box was a pale yellow crystal the size of half a peanut, which was a shiny earth-attribute magic crystal, and the lead box had isolated its energy fluctuations before.

Zheng Hao understood what Wayne meant, this should be compensation for Situ Mingyue, he closed the box and threw it back.

Wayne's father and son are strong, but they are still ordinary human beings, and it is not easy for them to hunt alienated creatures in the wild, and it is not easy to get half a magic crystal.

Zheng Hao didn't accept it, Wayne looked embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, took off the sniper rifle behind him, and handed it to Zheng Hao.

Zheng Hao doesn't know much about American firearms, but this is actually the latest modification of the large-caliber sniper rifle M82A1 by the American Barrett Company, the 25mm "Pelauder" rifle.

Its barrel has been shortened and it is a semi-automatic grenade launcher that can be carried and combated by individual soldiers. 4-round capacity magazine firing 25 times 59 mm high-explosive burst grenades.

Originally, Zheng Hao still had a lot of resentment towards Wayne and his son because Situ Mingyue was injured, but now people even take out the guys who eat, and Situ Mingyue is not in danger of life, Zheng Hao is much more angry.

He reached out and grabbed Wayne's wrist and cast a psychic touch, "Forget it, this is an accident, you don't need to pay extra compensation." ”

Zheng Hao's voice sounded directly in Wayne's mind, his eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Your Excellency is a divine officer?" ”

"Priest? What is it? ”

"Priests are not things, they are the mighty beings of the church, and they can use magic stones to perform magic spells."

Zheng Hao communicated with Wayne through consciousness, and he understood a lot of the situation in the United States after the change.

After the night of the Blood Moon, zombies and other alienated creatures also appeared on the American continent.

Thanks to the popularity of automatic firearms and doomsday theories, the Americans reacted quickly, relying on towns and towns, and in the shortest possible time, they inflicted heavy damage on zombies and alienated creatures.

It's just that the American people didn't expect a heavy rain, a sudden change in the natural environment, crazy growth of plants, and zombies and alienated creatures launched a counterattack under the cover of lush vegetation.

Before the change, the United States, as the most developed country in the world, had a relatively good natural environment, and the population density outside the city was not large, but now it has become a fatal point.

In addition to large cities with a population of more than one million, small and medium-sized towns have experienced several full moon nights, and have been attacked by alienated creatures, losing a large number of people.

For this reason, the United States also launched a retaliation, mobilizing tens of thousands of armored troops to advance along railways and highways.

They use large-caliber artillery, short- and medium-range missiles, carry tactical nuclear warheads, and scrub the ground in no-man's land.

As it turned out, this was a huge mistake, as the nuclear explosion not only made it impossible for humans to set foot in the no-man's land, but also did not destroy the alienated creatures in it, and also created many mutated creatures.

As time went on, the alienated creatures became more and more powerful, and the Americans could only shrink their defenses and be trapped in the city.

The lush vegetation and high crop yields allowed Los Angeles to feed the city's population of more than four million.

This is the entire population of the greater Los Angeles area, because the aging population in the United States is also very serious, and after more than a year of fighting zombies and alien creatures, those who can survive are the lucky ones.

Fortunately, the United States is highly urbanized, with the majority of the population concentrated in cities, with 50 large cities with a population of more than 1 million before the change.

It's just that now these cities have become isolated islands, and only some powerful individuals and teams can travel between cities, which is already better than most countries in the world.

Zheng Hao also learned that the United States, like Japan, does not have the existence of enhancers.

The only humans who can kill alienated creatures at close range, except for alienated people, are holy warriors and priests who belong to the church.

Witchers like the Wayne father and son, who rely mainly on guns and traps to fight alien creatures, are high-risk professions.

"The enhancers are still divided into races? Is it unique to the continent of country C? ”

Zheng Hao thought so at first, but he thought about it for a while, "No, Monica, the Jin family brothers and sisters, Arao Spirit and others in Qingwan City are not from Country C, is it related to the region?" ”

Zheng Hao put a hand into his arms, took the opportunity to take out a magic crystal from the storage space, and asked Wayne.

"What is the use of magic crystals, that is, magic stones, in your place?"

Wayne looked at the crystal clear magic crystal in Zheng Hao's hand, he swallowed and spit, and said dryly: "This is a B-grade magic stone, which can fire light energy cannons." ”

Later, Wayne introduced the use of magic stones to Zheng Hao in detail, in addition to the holy warriors and priests of the church who can use ** to stimulate the energy of magic stones, magic stones can also be used for guns and cannons, which are used by ordinary people.

For example, the mutilated shiny magic crystal in Wayne's hand, that is, the C-level magic stone, can shoot five high-energy rays through special firearms.

The high-energy rays emitted by the C-level magic stone are within fifty meters, and they can easily kill the boss-level zombies that hit, that is, the Black Demons.

It can also cause damage to ordinary alien beasts, but it is not enough to see when it encounters magical beasts, so Wayne will put it in a lead box to block its energy fluctuations.

"The invention creativity of the Americans is still very strong, and there must be a few of these magic crystal guns, and it is best to get the manufacturing technology."

Zheng Hao was about to ask Wayne where to get the magic stone energy gun, but Wayne's mobile phone rang, and his face changed greatly after he connected it.

"Mr. Zheng, Miss Kelly is in trouble."

Compared with the first-tier cities in country C, the buildings in Los Angeles are very low, and one- and two-story buildings abound.

Zheng Hao sat in the electric car driven by Wayne and looked out, except for the concrete city wall built after the change in the distance, there were barricades of different sizes on the side of the street and the roadside.

First of all, why electric vehicles, according to Wayne, it is a time of war between humans and alienated creatures, gasoline and diesel are strategic materials, and only the military has the right to use them.

Of course, it is limited to the inside of the city, and the outside of the city is a place outside the law, and the strong are respected.

The reason why Wayne and his son honestly sent Situ Mingyue to the hospital was because Zheng Hao blocked the two of them as soon as he found out about them.

After seeing the strong strength shown by Zheng Hao, Wayne and his son wisely did not resist, insisting that it was a mistake.

As for the barricades made of vehicles, sandbags, and furniture, they were done spontaneously by the residents of the city to protect their neighborhoods.

"The United States no longer exists, and after the nuclear bombing campaign ended, it was dissolved."

Wayne pointed to the barricades and said to Zheng Hao: "Like these barricades, the remaining big cities are all fighting on their own, scattered in a mess. ”

Zheng Hao's palm rested on Wayne's shoulder, and through his psychic touch, he asked, "When there is a conflict between the witchers, the military just asks?" ”

Wayne received a call just now, it was a group of witchers calling, saying that Kelly and Jay were in their hands, and asked Wayne to ransom them.

Zheng Hao was very annoyed when he learned about it, since he entered the American continent, he was very unhappy and decided to make the guys who sent him to the door pay the price.

"As long as it doesn't threaten the city's defenses, the witcher's disputes will be resolved on their own, and the military won't intervene."

Wayne paused for a moment and continued, "The other party's neighborhood is an upscale neighborhood with church forces, so it's best not to have a conflict. ”

"The Church Militants will allow them to take hostages?"

"American society is for the wealthy, and the church is armed with a bias toward members of the community, doesn't Miss Nichols say where her parents live?"

Kelly's full name is Kelly. Nichols, that's what Wayne would call her.

"I don't know." Zheng Hao was a little irritable, and he found that he didn't know much about his woman.
