Chapter 25: Exposure
Who will it be?
Controlling his breathing, Chen Chong hid in the narrow dark space in the corner, focusing on everything he captured.
“....... Right now...... No one should ......"
"Be careful...... Check it out......"
In the wind, Chen Chong vaguely caught a few words drifting away with the wind, as well as a few inaudible footsteps, and his heart moved.
"Listening to the number of footsteps, could it be Lin Kun or the base guards?"
There was more than one person coming, Chen Chong's eyes were cold and calm in the dark, and he was still motionless:
"No, it's possible that there are other gathering places as well. ”
At this moment, Chen Chong saw through the gap two figures in shabby leather clothes cautiously inspecting the ruins, flashing through the narrow line of sight.
"It's not Lin Kun, it's not the base guards, it's supposed to be a scavenger!"
Chen Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, although it was not the worst case scenario that the base guards chased him, he also had some kind of plan in his heart.
Within a radius of 100 kilometers above the map, the locations of three survivor gatherings are marked. When he was planning to escape from prison with Lin Kun in the base, Chen Chong had also learned about the general situation of the survivor gathering place where Lin Kun belonged, and the target he was advancing now was the Dawn gathering place where Lin Kun was before, with a population of thousands.
Scavengers are adventurers, gold diggers, and relatively low-level existences in the gathering area. They travel in large groups, risking great risks to explore the wilderness in search of any valuable resources, and then bring them back to the gathering place to trade with others in exchange for food or other resources. Including Lin Kun, all the prisoners captured in the base were once scavengers in various survivor gathering places.
This group has a very high mortality rate, and most of them are ordinary people with no skills, who have to tie their heads to their belts and die in the wilderness in exchange for a full stomach.
The world of this world has collapsed, no matter how many people on the other side come from and what the path is, Chen Chong does not expect the other party to be a good person, and directly prepares for the worst.
Fortunately, it was already dark, and the people who came only hastily checked whether there were any radiation species in the ruins, and did not find Chen Chong, who was well hidden. Then, in Chen Chong's perception, a few footsteps gradually gathered towards the ruins next to him.
A deep male voice asked, "How is it, have you checked it all?"
"Captain, it's all checked. No problem. ”
"It's on my side too, no problem. ”
"We've been here before, and it's relatively safe. I also found an empty can, and it seems that the team that stayed here before was very rich. ”
One voice after another quickly replied, and Chen Chong, who was only a wall away, leaned his ear against the wall and listened carefully. Immediately afterwards, the previous deep male voice was heard to continue:
"Be careful, let's rest for the night, and don't make a fire, lest we attract anything difficult. Arrange for two people to take turns keeping vigil, and return to the gathering place as soon as it dawns tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
Seven or eight voices answered at the same time, and after a moment the men each looked for a place to rest and began to chat:
"Damn, this time it's really unlucky, we actually bumped into the blood general's brigade, if the captain hadn't found out in advance, we would have been miserable. ”
"Fortunately, we found it early, otherwise the spiritual fruits we picked would have been cheapened by them, and maybe they would have been captured and sent back as slaves!"
"I've heard that General Blood is a blood-sucking monster in human skin, feeding on blood, and every day he has to catch a man from his gathering place to suck it clean. I really don't know how the people in that gathering place survived. ”
"Vampire monsters, feeding on blood?"
The other person intersected, and there was a horror flavor in his tone:
"Isn't there anyone who dares to resist or run away?"
Just a wall away, Chen Chong listened to the conversations of these mysterious scavengers, digesting all kinds of information.
Judging from the conversations of these people, they should be a scavenger team affiliated with a certain survivor gathering place, and as for the so-called blood general, it should be the head of a powerful armed force, and this team came to this safe point to avoid the blood general.
While Chen Chong was thinking, the voice of the man who had been called the captain before sounded:
"Do not spread falsehood. The Blood General is not a blood-sucking monster dressed in human skin, he is just a powerful awakened person of the transcendent level, because he has some special ability related to blood, which is why he is passed on like this by people who don't know the truth. ”
"Transcendent ......"
All voices fell silent for a moment, and then one voice hesitated:
"Captain, you are the only Awakened One among us, can you tell us how powerful the Transcendent is, and if we have a gun in our hands, will we have a chance to kill him?"
Separated by a wall, Chen Chong suddenly held his breath and pricked up his ears.
The captain's voice laughed and said, "Ah Hua, you don't need any cover in the open area, I'll give you two guns, do you think you can kill me?"
The voice that asked the question earlier said, "Of course not." ”
"No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is meaningless if it can't hit the enemy. I'm not as fast as a bullet, but as long as it's faster than your wrists and fingers. ”
The captain's voice continued to sound in a low voice:
"The same thing, I can do it, let alone a monster like the Blood General? His life field strength is at least 100 units or more, and he has already entered the first energy level, ten times that of the Newborn Awakened! Combined with the genetic lock that can maximize his own strength, his reaction speed, combat instinct, and power control have all reached the inhuman level...... Even a whole well-armed, well-trained, and powerful armed army can't do anything to a bare-handed Blood General, and will even be killed in turn, let alone us stragglers with home-made guns, understand?"
At this moment, because of the captain's words, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the rest of the scavengers were silent, as if they were shocked.
"The life field strength enters the energy level sequence, and the transcendent who opens the gene lock...... In this way, this blood general is an existence at the same level as Diris?"
After the ruins, Chen Chong's heart beat slightly. The concept of life field strength was actually familiar to Catherine in his previous experiments, and it refers to a measure of the life force performance of living organisms, the higher the life field strength, the stronger their life force.
In addition, the word gene lock made Chen Chong immediately think of the main god in his mind, and it also made him wonder in his heart:
"Is the gene lock in their mouth the same concept as the gene lock in the main god space?"
He is naturally familiar with the gene lock system of the main god space, and the so-called gene lock is not a gene in a broad sense, but more refers to the "basic factor" or "the origin of life", which is a combination of spiritual miracles and life miracles. However, he was not sure if the genetic locks in the main god space were the same thing as the genetic locks in these populations.
However, just when Chen Chong was thinking fiercely in his mind, just a wall away, the voice belonging to the captain was faint, and it sounded again:
"Friend next door, have you heard enough?"
It's been discovered!
In the darkness of the corner, Chen Chong, who heard this, suddenly turned cold in his eyes!
