Chapter 372: Mutation
"Are you sure this is New York?"
Looking at the scenery outside, Fei Lun couldn't help frowning, and hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, the silver-haired double ponytail Lori sitting on the operating table said calmly.
"The target location is the same distance, and if the map is correct, then it is certain that this is indeed New York."
"What if the map is wrong?"
Hearing this, Franke next to him couldn't help but ask curiously. Hearing Franca's inquiry, the silver-haired double-ponytailed Lori just glanced at Franke lightly, then withdrew her gaze and whispered softly.
"Stupid."
"Wait, who do you say is stupid!"
"Fools know who's stupid."
Watching Franca's body and the doppelganger quarrel, Pheren just shrugged his shoulders, Franke has become more and more playful recently, maybe it's boring, or maybe there are too many whimsical ideas in his head, and now Franke likes to chat with his doppelganger more and more. Of course, her doppelganger's personality is obviously not like the main body, so the two Franke often quarrel like this......... As for whether Franca will have a schizophrenia because of this, it is not in the scope of Pheren's consideration.
Now, though, Fallon's concern is clearly not about Franca's quarrel.
In front of him, there was a huge whirlwind, and the white clouds and mist connected it like pillars supporting the heavens and the earth. Most of New York was enveloped in the whirlwind, and from a distance, only the wreckage of some buildings could be faintly seen flickering in the clouds, and the sky was also dark, and thunder and lightning could be seen from time to time. According to the data that can be explored by the energy network, this "cloud wall" is nearly 100 kilometers long, almost completely enveloping the central city of New York.
Through her energy network and abilities, Kulona could only determine that there were enough intact buildings within the cloud wall, and she could not get any useful information beyond that. Although Franke also sent drones to investigate, the drones were destroyed by lightning the moment they entered the cloud wall.
It seems that this is also a problem.
"What to do? Master? ”
Standing beside Feren, Delin asked. From the current point of view, this is basically completely impossible to enter, of course, Fei Lun can also directly order the spacecraft to rush in. But judging by the previous situation where the drone was destroyed, this is clearly not a good idea.
In this regard, Fei Lun has been prepared for a long time.
"Anyway, let's ask the locals about the situation first."
Just as there is always a rat's nest next to the garbage heap, there are also "rats" around the ruins of the city, and people will do anything to survive in the wasteland. Even the ruins of a city known as the Forbidden Land of Death are usually surrounded by wasteland dwellers. Here they rummage through the garbage like rats in exchange for some food and weapons. If Feron guessed correctly, then there should be similar "rats" in this vicinity.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Kurona to send back the report.
"Fifteen hundred meters ahead, there are signs of fighting."
Gunshots rang out.
The gray squirrel leaned against the wall of the ruins, exhaling heavily, and beside him, a girl with a pale face grabbed the corner of his coat. The two men were dressed in shabby leather jackets and held several tattered-looking electrical appliances in their hands. These things, which were not worth much before the cataclysm, are now their only reliance.
As long as you find these things and bring them back to the gathering place, you can exchange them for some bread and water, and if it goes well, you can even get rid of the rent for this month. It was with this idea in mind that the two joined the search team, but now, they find that the reality is far more cruel than they imagined.
A pack of wolves targeted them.
The "wolves" here, of course, are not real wolves, but ruin killers. They are a cunning, murderous and inhuman gang of robbers, bandits. They never explore the ruins themselves, but instead stare at the exploration teams that enter the ruins of the city, and then attack and rob their belongings as they drag their tired bodies and harvests away.
Although both of them had heard stories about these wolves from adults before entering the ruins this time, when they actually encountered this group of wolves, they realized what a terrible group of creatures they were.
"Are you still running?"
Looking at the girl beside him, the gray squirrel asked in a low voice. They weren't brother and sister, and even before joining the expedition, the two basically didn't know each other. They all volunteered to join the team so that they would not be expelled from the gathering place. But now, there are only two of them left in this exploration team.
"I, I'm okay!"
The girl beside the gray squirrel heard the gray squirrel's inquiry, and nodded vigorously, her face was covered with dust, mixed with tears and blood, and she looked embarrassed. And the squirrel himself is no better, the guys shot him in the thigh before, although fortunately it didn't hurt the artery, but now it's not a good thing for him. After all, the wound had been bleeding, and for the gray squirrel, he couldn't hold out for long.
"Let's run separately, if it goes on like this, I'll only drag you down."
Squirrel spoke, then looked at the bag he was carrying, which contained the knick-knacks they had managed to scrape through the edge of the ruins, which he didn't know much about, but at least it looked beautiful and seemed to be quite advanced. If there is a disadvantage, it is a little too big and too heavy.
The girl next to the gray squirrel was holding a few pieces of clothes, which she had inadvertently turned out of a crushed box, and the most precious thing was that the packaging of these clothes was still intact, and the clothes inside were even brand new. This is too rare in the wasteland, and on the way back to the gathering place, the gray squirrel saw more than once that someone in the exploration team wanted to exchange things and even food for these few clothes in the girl's hand.
And if these clothes are taken back, then at least, she will stay in the gathering place until the end of the year, and it should be no problem.
But now.........
"Hey! Here, chase it!! ”
At this moment, suddenly, a shout came from not far away, and when they heard this voice, both of them tensed their nerves. Right now, they're hiding in a caved sewer, barely able to hide their form for the time being, but they're not sure if they'll be safe from the hungry wolves.
Thinking of this, the gray squirrel couldn't help but clench the gun in his hand, and the girl also grabbed a crowbar next to her, they knew what their fate was after they were discovered, but the only thing they could do now was to resist.
"Da ............!!"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon a series of excited shouts and whistles rang out, and only someone could be heard shouting excitedly.
"Found out! They're here, they're here............ Yes!! ”
However, the man's words were not finished, and in the blink of an eye, his call turned into a scream, and immediately after, a series of screams began to rise and fall. There were gunshots and roars, as well as a strange and strange sound.
What's going on out there?
The two looked at each other, but did not dare to move at all, until a moment later, the screaming gradually stopped, and everything became quiet again.
"What, what's wrong?"
Squirrel forced herself to stand up as she cautiously walked down the wall towards the gap, while the girl followed closely behind Squirrel, holding a crowbar and looking around uneasily. Then, they walked out of the wreckage of the sewers.
Then, everything in front of them made the two completely stunned.
"Oh my God..............."
Squirrel's eyes widened in surprise, looking at all this in disbelief, in front of him, there were the corpses of dead robbers everywhere, their bodies were completely charred, and even emitted black smoke, and the smell of roasted meat came to his face, and even made people feel a little disgusting.
"What, what the hell is going on?"
At this moment, the girl also walked out, she stared at the corpses around her uneasily, and neither of them knew what to say. But at this moment, suddenly, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
I saw that on the sides of the two of them, the originally empty air suddenly began to distort and deform, and then, it turned into a strange steel creature as tall as a person, and the pitch-black barrels on their sides were so gloomyly aimed at the two people in front of them, and there was no movement at all.
What's going on here?
Faced with this scene in front of him, the gray squirrel was completely blinded. He raised his gun and wanted to say something, but the next moment, Squirrel felt a wave of weakness in his body, and then the world in front of him completely went gray.
The last thing the gray squirrel could hear was the screams of the girl beside him.
