Chapter 354: Black Eats Black
A huge fireball raged, scorching everything around it, and the three wagons and the nearby corpses were not spared, and all of them burned into fireballs.
Everyone was stunned, except for Yama and Barrett.
Don't look at the joy of Yama's screaming, but other people's brains can't turn at all.
Everything was burned, what are they desperately trying for?
"Oh my God!" Except for holding his head in his hands and muttering to himself, who has the strength to care what he says?
Ten seconds, neither long nor short.
That's enough time for Yama to rain a magazine of bullets at Barrett.
It's a pity that he is facing a pervert who can predict the trajectory of a gun by pointing a gun, not to mention that his every move cannot be concealed from him at all.
Unconsciously continued to hook the trigger a few times, and the click of the bolt kept suggesting that he had no way to shoot any bullets.
"Don't come here!" Yama was so flustered that he couldn't even change the magazine, and several times in a row, his hand trembled and he didn't stuff the magazine into the receiver, making Barrett shake his head.
"Well, brother! Let's discuss, we don't want the goods! It's all yours! Crawling backwards with his hands and feet, Yama's chest heaving violently.
"It's late." Barrett walked slowly towards Yamar, his pistol slowly raised.
Marpo behind the tree was also targeting Barrett, and until now, only the faithful were still keeping an eye on the situation.
Unfortunately, before he could trap Barrett with his crosshairs, he only felt a sharp pain in his back, and he didn't know anything.
Behind the rocks on the right side of the hillside, Nightblade held Barrett's AK and muttered, "Yes, this thing is really good, shouldn't I give up my faith?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the crossbow on his thigh, then shook his head and said, "Damn, maverick is the expression of personality......
Ace and Jason, on the other hand, had already woken up from the shock of the explosion and went to work to clean up the remnants of the enemy.
Jason, in particular, was very vindictive, and since he was at the top of the line, he felt the power of the incendiary bomb more really.
Annoyed and angry, it is not too much to describe his mood, only to see him rush like a wild bull to the panicked wanderer behind the stone, and pick up the big stick in his hand.
One stick, two sticks, three sticks, until the other party didn't move anymore, he stood up and scolded in his mouth: "! Want to kill Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu you first!! ”
The fierce wave of fire just now really scared his urine out, which was more terrifying than shooting at him.
Soon, there were no more survivors on the hillside, and Barrett put down his gun.
Jason squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, staring at the burning fireball in the middle and muttering, "Nima! It's all money! , these stupid people really can't get it, so don't even think about it if anyone else wants to get it!! ”
"Indeed, these lizards are worth a lot more than the beasts we've killed before." Nightblade is also unlucky, busy for a long time, and has not earned a penny, which is a loss for hunters, a loss of blood.
"It's just that it stands to reason that this kind of caravan will be closely protected, even if you want to get through the tricks, you won't be easily found, this caravan ............" Ace rationally analyzed the possibilities in the middle, she is not a full-time hunter, and she has no depression about losing her prey at all.
Kicking Yama's corpse, Nightblade began to work quickly.
Cleaning up the battlefield, that is, looting corpses.
These things, Barrett disdains to do, even if it is an enemy on the battlefield, it will retain the dignity of the other party, plus the non-versatility of the equipment, it will generally be returned to the other party as a relic, unless it is a total annihilation battle, otherwise the other party generally has a special collection of troops.
But now it's different, they're hunters, they just make money, and since they didn't get the goods, then everything for the vanquished is theirs.
"Their weapons are really not good, I don't think it's necessary to bring them." After all, there is still a journey of more than 100 miles, and it is really unrealistic to carry these burdens.
Nightblade counted that this group of wanderers did not have any property, after all, they were here to rob, not to do business.
There is nothing to use with firearms, but a few offensive grenades are not bad.
"Just bring the ammunition you can use. Burn everything else. Barrett also felt that there was no need to bring those things, and pointed to the still burning wreckage.
Jason scratched his head, the first time he ate black and ate black like this, how do you say it? lost his wife and lost his soldiers.
"Let's go! This place is too obscure, and Lao Tzu is annoyed when he looks at it. After cleaning up and throwing the body and guns into the fire, Jason said with a spat on his face.
Originally, it was a good campsite, but unfortunately it can't be used now.
They must keep moving forward and try to find a good spot before sunset.
After a waste of an afternoon, the hair was not caught, and a lot of ammunition was lost, and now we must hurry up.
Otherwise, they may end up sleeping in the wilderness.
The others did not object, and the four of them took action and returned to the main road again.
"I don't know how long it will take for anyone to find out there." Nightblade said as he walked looking back in the direction of the col.
"It would be better if it hadn't happened." Barrett said that although these guys are all dead, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no partners and the like, and it is true that they try not to make trouble.
"It's okay, from now on, no matter who it is, you can't say it, we haven't seen anything, we haven't seen anything." Nightblade actually said this to Jason, and there was no door on his mouth to drink some wine.
"Okay, okay, I'm not stupid, you can't die if you talk a few nonsense." Jason plucked his ear with his little finger and said, drinking? At least he's not in the mood for the past few days, he was almost blown up, who the is still in the mood to drink?
Wait, if there's a woman, it's a good idea to have some wine!
It didn't take long for the goods to come to an end, with a beautiful smile on his face, and he threw any money loss and the like to the back of his mind.
Nightblade laughed, this thing is so heartless, but also, being too shrewd in these years is just adding to the troubles.
Hurrying and hurrying, the four of them still did not arrive to set up camp.
The night grew heavier, and only tumbleweeds fluttered in the open wilderness.
As far as the eye can see, there are no people, no fire, and even the scorching heat just now is disappearing in an instant.
"It's not safe to camp here." Jason said, his face rarely serious.
"It's a pity that if you go any further, you won't be able to see the road." Nightblade knew that in such a place, torches and the like were still rarely used, and it was easy to attract the attention of some people.
For example, the people who died in the afternoon, they are an example.
"Let's camp on the spot." Barrett didn't pay much attention to it, it was a big deal that he didn't sleep tonight.
Although it is not possible to radiate the surrounding area, there is no problem within a few hundred meters.
Since Barrett said so, Nightblade and Jason didn't refuse, and the two of them got busy.
Sure enough, it was a professional hunter who slept in the open air, and after a while, the tent, the stove pit, and the night patrol fire were all ready.
"I don't need this thing, I'll be on duty for the night." Barrett said he wasn't too worried about the wanderer, he was still worried about the dangerous black lizard.
Thinking back to the afternoon, the tied lizards still had such combat effectiveness, and the lizards roaming around were really unguardable.
It is precisely for this reason that early on, the various caravans began to look for a safe camp to prevent being targeted by these terrifying creatures.
Traveling during the day and resting at night, this is the opposite of the desert.
"Then let's discuss the night shift." Nightblade knew that someone had to be guarded at night, or else it would be impossible for people to see the sun tomorrow.
Shaking his head, Barrett said: "I'll do it myself, to be honest, maybe I've slept too long before, and I often can't sleep at night." ”
The others looked at each other a few times and acquiesced to his request.
After a while, the tent fell silent.
There was silence, only the sound of the wind.
Barrett sat behind a rocky block that sheltered him from the wind, looking at the starry sky in the sky.
It has been almost ten days since he came to Earth.
But haven't found a way to go back, what is going on with Fanette now? What exactly did Bass do?
He was worried, but to no avail.
Now you must take it one step at a time, follow the clues you know, find the town of Maqiao, find what you are looking for, and find your way home......
Finally having time to sit down and think about this, Barrett sighed slightly.
"Well, I don't know what's going on, it's slowly becoming what it is now............" Barrett looked at the hazy horizon in the distance, and could only see a dark shadow.
"Do you have something on your mind?" A deep voice came from his ear, it was Ace.
When she sneaked up, Barrett felt her movements.
It's just that he pretended not to notice: "You can't sleep? ”
Taking off his hood, Barrett saw her true face.
It's not pretty, and there are quite a few freckles near the bridge of the nose.
The eyes are also a little small, in short, just an ordinary person.
"I'm curious what kind of person you are." Ace sat down next to Barrett and watched the night in the distance side by side with him.
"Didn't I say that? I'm a soldier who has been asleep for a long time. Barrett explained again.
Turning his face sideways to look at Barrett's side face, Ace said after a while: "Are all the ordinary soldiers of that era so powerful as you?" I know a lot, I've never seen that kind of bomb before. ”
It turned out to be the incendiary bomb in the afternoon.
"In my life, this weapon was used as if it were a soldier's grenade." Barrett said with a smile.
Actually, he didn't know what the previous war was like, but since those people could get their hands on it, there must be a lot of it.
The army of that era may have used it everywhere to carry out extermination operations, otherwise how could the war be fought to the point that even the gods could not stand it?
Yellow Rain ............ A sign of life-destroying life, but is there really a God?
Barrett received the message from his heart that no one had ever seen a true God, and perhaps there was no real God at all.
His mother was God's instrument, but that was only a tool, God? According to scientific theory, they may only be super-civilized creatures like the Nala, and if humans were just barbarians in the wilderness, they would also be regarded as gods.
Perhaps the so-called gods are simply human beings of a higher level of civilization.
"Actually, I'm very strange, you have such powerful weapons, you have such powerful qualities, how did the rebels hold out for four years?" Ace voiced the doubts in his heart, if Barrett was an ordinary soldier.
"............" Barrett asked, and to be honest, he didn't know what it was like before the war, and he didn't even know who was fighting in that war.
The Resistance? Why are there rebels? Where was the government elected?
Most of the human beings have left the earth, what is worth fighting for and dying?
There were no answers to these questions, and Barrett didn't know how to answer them.
After being silent for a while, although Ace had already guessed that Barrett would not give her an answer, he still said: "Thank you, I know that it is very rude to ask this, after all, everyone has no obligation to inform." ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't know much, after all, I fell asleep shortly after the war began. Maybe it's to save troops. Barrett made up a reason.
Looking into Ace's eyes, Barrett said, "Why do you want to know about the past?" ”
Ace bit his lip and answered the question anyway: "I am an orphan, and in this era, orphans can only survive on their own, and no one will help you. ”
"But somebody helped me, and I came here from the seaside in the northwest, and that's actually why." As he spoke, Ace fumbled through his chest pocket and pulled out a map that he had placed close to him.
Putting it in Barrett's hands, she continued: "I am a vagabond, and I have been wandering the villages and towns by the sea since I was a child, living on the handouts of others. ”
"In Porsche, I met an old man who took me in, treated me for my eye ailments, and fulfilled my life."
"Unfortunately, human lifespan is limited, and when I was fourteen years old, her life came to an end."
"Before she died, she gave me a map, and this is it."
As she spoke, she motioned for Barrett to flip the map over, with a small line written on the back.
Even in the darkness, Barrett could see the handwriting clearly, because it was emitting a faint glow.
"Glow-in-the-dark paint?" It stands to reason that this kind of paint loses its effect over time, but judging by the age of the map, it has been a thing for a long time.
Thin animal inner skin, soft but tough.
"A place of survival, a refuge in times of destruction." It's as simple as a single word.
In turn, I found that the map was very strange, with no specific signs and no visual diagrams, and everything was crooked lines.
I can't tell where or what I'm referring to.
Barrett got it.
This is an elevation map, just a circle of lines, and ordinary people don't understand it at all.
The sanctuary was built halfway up the mountain, but there is no indication of which mountain it is, nor does it have any name.
"No wonder you care so much about the bomb shelter I was talking about." Barrett suddenly realized.
"It's a pity that that bomb shelter is not a so-called place to live." The air-raid shelter was in the vast lily of the valley grassland, not in the mountains.
"What are you going to do when you find a place to live? Do you want people to go there? Barrett asked.
I saw Ace shake his head and look at himself, and said slowly: "I just want to see what a real comfortable life is, and then I will leave and burn the map." ”
Her meaning is simple, she just wants to see what the so-called happy life looks like, maybe it is described in the book?
"Then I wish you a wish." Barrett handed her back the map in his hand.
