Chapter 277: Mutants

"Gotta go somewhere else to find more bullets...... You also need to find food and water, even if it's contaminated......"

Qi Lin was thinking about the next plan in his heart as he got out from under the roller shutter.

As soon as Qi Lin got out of the roller shutter, he saw a player wearing a dirty brown leather jacket and a hood less than five meters in front of him, obviously the other party's destination was also this weapon shop.

The other party was stunned when he saw Qi Lin, and the next second, he let out a piercing shout, and pulled out a KS-23 pump-action shotgun from behind him, but at this time, Qi Lin had already pulled the trigger of Makarov in his hand.

"Phew! Bang! ”

"Bang!"

At this time, the lack of power of Makarov's pistol manifested itself, the player was shot twice in the chest, but only stumbled and did not kill instantly, and the KS-23 in his hand still successfully fired.

But fortunately, due to the involuntary backwards of the opponent's body after being shot, the shotgun was originally a little crooked towards Qi Lin's muzzle, and a shot hit Qi Lin's left waist rib.

Qi Lin only felt as if he had been punched heavily in his waist and abdomen, but it was still within the range of bearability, and he immediately made up for the third shot, which hit the opponent's neck, and the opponent finally fell on his back.

Qi Lin looked down at the place where he was shot, fortunately, the other party's gun chamber was filled with neither a single-headed bullet nor a deer bullet, but the iron sand with the weakest penetrating power, although the coat was beaten to shreds, but all of this iron sand was blocked by the dragon scale armor inside, and it failed to hurt Qi Lin in the slightest.

If the opponent used a single-headed bullet, with the caliber and power of the KS-23, even if he missed the key point at this distance, Qi Lin would definitely have to suffer a lot of injuries.

This guy is definitely not a lone wanderer, Qi Lin quickly looked around, and before the gunfire could attract this person's accomplice, he dragged the other party back into the weapon shop again, and then stepped on the roller shutter to the bottom.

"Hey, do you speak English?" Qi Lin kicked the man lightly, and then asked in English, but the other party suddenly lost his breath at this time.

"I'll ...... it," Qi Lin took a sip, and immediately squatted down to carefully examine the player's corpse.

Qi Lin was 100% sure that this was a player and not an NPC, not because he had a "Tarayanko" ID on his head, but because on his left wrist, he had a miniature personal brain that was exactly the same as Qi Lin's.

Turning the body over, Qi Lin found that there was a lot of blood gushing out of the three gunshot wounds on the other party's chest and neck, but these blood were different from normal people, they were pure black, extremely viscous, like melted asphalt, and exuded a pungent smell.

"What the hell is this?" Qi Lin was a little strange, such viscous blood couldn't flow in the veins at all, this guy should have died of blood clots a long time ago instead of being killed by himself.

However, when Qi Lin ripped off the other party's hood, he realized that the other party was really not a "human"!

Talayanko's head under the hood was like a skeleton, the skin was pale and wrinkled, tightly taut on the skull, there was only a triangular black hole in the position of the nose, the eye sockets were red and swollen and deep, and the gums of the lips were degraded to varying degrees, completely exposing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Mutants?!"

Qi Lin had only heard of the group of mutants, but this was the first time he had seen it.

Mutants and zombies are somewhat similar, they are all mutated by normal people after being exposed to excessive radiation, but the two are not the same - zombies appear in a short period of time after the outbreak of nuclear war, and a super-large dose of radiation instantly gives rise to stress mutations in the human body, but mutants are different, mutants do not appear all at once, but ordinary people live in a high-concentration radiation environment for a long time and subtly produce species.

An ordinary person who does not have various evolutionary abilities, if a large amount of radiation accumulates in the body, it will definitely lead to the loss of vitality, the appearance of various complications, and finally death, but there are some people, although their body structure is the same as others, but the adaptability is strong enough, radiation destroys their bodies while destroying them, but at the same time transforming their bodies, in the end, it becomes the appearance in front of Qi Lin's eyes.

Strictly speaking, mutants can also be regarded as evolutionaries, but their evolution is forced, which is a very painful and malignant mutation. Although mutants can also meet the standards of first- and second-level evolutionaries and can live in a high-concentration radiation environment, they are constantly suffering from the torture caused by their mutated bodies.

Qi Lin took off the mutant's leather jacket again, only to see that his body inside was tightly wrapped in bandages torn from various rags, these bandages were very dirty and disgusting, soaked with pale yellow pus flowing from the mutant's body, and the skin exposed to the bandages had multiple ulcers and polyps.

"It seems that this city is not a dead city without people...... Qi Lin understands that in the next period of time, he will probably face these players who have become mutants.

From the few pieces of information that we know, mutants are completely different from zombies, they are hostile to all other species, including mutants, zombies, zombies, and humans, and never show mercy to those who are not of their kind.

Think about it, after all, many zombies' pain sense has degenerated, although they have become like that, but the physical pain is not obvious, so they can still maintain enough sanity, and mutants are actually people who suffer from severe radiation sickness but can't die, and the pain and torture make them hate the "human compatriots" who turned them into this.

There is only one possibility for these mutants to appear, and that is if there is a leak in the shelter where they are located, and a large amount of nuclear radiation kills most of the people, while the few who survive become mutants.

The process of ordinary people turning into mutants takes a year or two, to say the least, so it is impossible for them to complete the transformation in the virtual world of the game, after all, it is not that long before the game is launched.

The only thing Qi Lin wondered was why the mastermind on the Russian side didn't judge these people as inhuman, but instead made the game pod and sent it to the mutants...... Is this to make the game more difficult for human players?

Qi Lin searched the mutant called "Talayanko", and in addition to a KS-23 shotgun and a small hand axe, in the other party's trouser pocket, Qi Lin also found two empty "Jett" fog suction devices.

In order to relieve the physical pain, Jett or some other similar drug is used, which should be very common among mutants.

Throwing the fog suction aside, Qi Lin inserted the hand axe into his belt, as for this KS-23, Qi Lin only had the common 12-gauge deer bullet on hand, and there was no 23 mm caliber extra-large ammunition used by the KS-23, so this gun Qi Lin could not be used.

Probably thinking that no one else would come in the radiation zone, Talayanko did not carry any more spare ammunition, only enough iron sand for one shot.

Moreover, the KS-23 actually cannot use iron sand as ammunition, because this large-caliber shotgun designed by the former Soviet Union for riot control forces actually has rifling in the barrel, and is mainly used to fire ammunition such as single-headed bullets or tear gas, and the accurate range can reach more than 200 meters.

Qi Lin didn't need to look at it, he could guess that the rifling inside the barrel of this KS-23 must have been worn to the ground.

"It's a bit of a waste."

Qi Lin dismantled the metal barrel of the KS-23 and used it as a deadbolt, passed through a metal ring buckle on the inside of the roller shutter, inserted it into a hole in the concrete floor, and found a finger-thick steel drill from upstairs, and stuck the metal ring on the roller shutter, so that it was difficult for people outside to push the roller shutter up.

Qi Lin used the small axe to split a chair and a sofa into wooden planks, and used some planks to seal all the windows on the first and second floors.

Qi Lin didn't know how many mutants there were in Nerozskri, but the gunshots could definitely be heard throughout the town, and he had to completely transform this small building into a bunker now to defend against the mutants who were attracted by the sound of gunfire - if those mutants found out that a human had come to their territory and killed a mutant, they would definitely attack Qi Lin like crazy.
