17. Call for help

Looking at the new skill points, Ding Hao thought twice, and then lit up the fighting skills.

Combat: Proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and adept at using all cold weapons.

In the game, this ability was originally only to enhance the player's melee attacks, and allowed the player to use things that could not be used as weapons, such as fishing rods or table legs, as weapons, which is suitable for desperate efforts when running out of ammunition. But now it's not a game, but a real world, Ding Hao originally had some superficial fighting skills, but these skills can only bully ordinary people or brainless ghouls, after lighting up the fighting skills, Ding Hao feels that even if he faces a special soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, he can fight with the other party.

Of course, the feeling is the feeling, and it is best to test it before jumping to conclusions. As for the target of the experiment, of course, it was a special ghoul who was still roaming the city.

Ding Hao didn't wear an anti-infrared cloak, just swaggering down the street, and soon attracted the attention of a high-jumping ghoul.

came, hearing the unique gurgling sound coming from the throat of the high-jumping ghoul, Ding Hao began to concentrate on guard. Sure enough, two seconds later, with a howl, a black shadow swooped down from behind Ding Hao's side.

Ding Hao took a step to the left, and the high-jumping ghoul suddenly pounced, just when the high-jumping ghoul was about to jump away, Ding Hao reached out and buckled the head of the high-jumping ghoul, and then grabbed the ghoul and smashed it against the wall, the high-jumping ghoul was smashed by Ding Hao and lay on the wall, and before he fell off the wall, a fighting dagger was nailed to the back of the head of the high-jumping ghoul like lightning, and the nail pierced through the medulla oblongata accurately, and the high-jumping ghoul trembled as if he had touched the electric door, and died instantly.

This skill is quite powerful, if you don't learn this skill, just now Ding Hao has to roll forward to avoid the ghouls' pounce, if you want to fight back, the high-jumping ghouls must have already fled, and in the end you still have to use a bow or pistol to solve it. But now, with the same strength, such a dodge, a grab, a piercing, in less than two seconds, the high-jumping ghoul will become a corpse.

After killing the high-jumping ghouls, the first rays of morning light also shone on the earth at this moment, and the corpses on the ground were exposed to the sun, and directly began to decompose, and emitted a strong stench. For the special ghouls who roam the city and take refuge in dark corners to avoid the light, the sun shining in the sky is the most hateful thing in the whole world.

Away from the corpse on the ground, Ding Hao opened the tactical terminal and carefully studied the map, the three damaged safe houses marked before were far apart, and although the repairs could be completed within a day if they were purely on foot, it would definitely be too late to rush back to the stronghold. So for today's trip, the main task is to repair the safe house, and while repairing the safe house, you can search for car parts, find the shotgun that Harlow needs, and find some valuable gadgets by the way. As for the night, you may have to stay in a safe house.

The nearest safe house is 5 kilometers away to the south, is a maintenance hut of a high-voltage tower surrounded by barbed wire, when Ding Hao found this safe house, he found several ghouls lying on the ground and eating the soil, Ding Hao looked closely, and found that the soil was reddish-purple, which felt a bit like the color of being soaked in blood.

There is nothing to say about dealing with ghouls, Ding Hao entered a stealth state to hide himself, and then used a super blade to name these ghouls one by one, and in less than half a minute, the 8 ghouls in the safe house were cleaned up by Ding Hao.

After entering the safe house, Ding Hao found a corpse that had only been eaten and only skeletons, and the torn clothes were thrown aside, among these fragments, Ding Hao also found a badge, which had a pattern of an eagle grabbing an arrow, Ding Hao recognized this pattern, which was the mark of the volunteers.

A volunteer who died in a safe house, and judging by the location of the death, the volunteer was still killed while sleeping. This is obviously not a normal thing, so when repairing the safe house, Ding Hao has to find out the reason why the safe house was breached.

First of all, close the barbed wire gate that was knocked open by the ghouls, but the frame of the gate has been bent and can't close at all, so Ding Hao has no choice but to fix the gate with wire, so that if you want to enter this safe house, you must turn over from the top of the barbed wire gate.

After closing the door, Ding Hao began to check the circuit of the ultraviolet device. The Volunteers' safe house uses ultraviolet light as the main means of defense, because both ordinary ghouls and special ghouls will subconsciously stay away from ultraviolet light sources. But after Ding Hao turned on the circuit, he found that the ultraviolet device of this safe house did not respond at all.

It seems that this is the problem that led to the breach of the safe house.

Broken circuits? For a reward of 600 yuan, Ding Hao began to check the electrical circuit of the entire safe house, and finally found that the generator was damaged. The energy used in the generator in the safe house is a deep electronic battery pack, the kind of battery in Ding Hao's tactical terminal. Because this kind of battery discharges very quickly, it needs to be limited by a generator, so that the energy output can be safely and stably supplied to the electrical appliances, Ding Hao opened the lid of the generator and found that the battery pack was fine, but the devices inside the generator were burned black.

Ding Hao really didn't know how to solve this problem, so he could only dial the quartermaster's communication.

"Jonah? I'm Ding Hao, the one who took the task with you before. Ding Hao looked at the damaged generator next to him, "I'm in the safe house in the south now, the generator here is damaged, it's all burned black, I don't know how to fix it." ”

"If the generator breaks, leave him alone, I'll send someone to fix it." Jonah clipped the radio to his shoulder, "The safe house has a backup solar generator, it's on the roof, you just prop up the solar panels and connect the wires to the rectifiers." ”

After hanging up the communication, Ding Hao jumped on the wall and climbed onto the roof of the maintenance hut, and soon found the solar panel wrapped in a tarp, put down the bracket to support the panel, and then Ding Hao jumped down from the roof, plugged the wire connecting the solar panel to the rectifier on the wall, and then pulled down the electric switch, the light on the ceiling flashed, and then lit up.

Looks like it's back to normal.

Ding Hao turned on the light sensor outside the house, so that the lights in the safe house would automatically turn on when it was dark and turn off automatically at dawn to avoid unnecessary consumption. And the solar panels charge the backup battery during the day to provide power for the night.

The safe houses on the edge of the city were repaired, and the remaining two were inside the city.

"Help! Distress! Is there anyone nearby? Please help me! Not long after Ding Hao returned to the city, a series of cries for help suddenly came from the tactical terminal on his wrist.

"Hello, do you need any help?" Ding Hao hesitated for a while, but still chose to call.

"I'm trapped by a bunch of ghouls, please help me, please!" A panicked female voice came from the tactical terminal, sounding like she was about 20 years old, along with the roar of a ghoul, which didn't sound like a fake.

"Calm down, Miss, calm down." Ding Hao tried to comfort the other party, "You first use the wardrobe against the door, so that you can buy some time, and then tell me where you are." ”

"I'm in a small three-story villa with a red roof and blue walls, which should be conspicuous." The woman's voice was a little choked, "Please hurry, they're coming in." ”

Villa with red roof and blue wall...... Ding Hao climbed onto the roof of the house next to him and looked around. Because it is close to the suburbs, the height of the houses is generally low, most of the houses are only two or three floors, and the view from the roof is very good, and soon Ding Hao saw the villa with red roof and blue wall that the woman said, which is only five hundred meters away from Ding Hao's location.

"I found it, wait a minute, I'll be over right away." Hanging up the communication, Ding Hao ran towards the villa.

"He's coming......" At this moment, in the red-roofed and blue-walled villa, the girl threw the radio in her hand to the ground in despair. Five men armed with weapons and wearing punk-style armor are surrounding the girl.

These people are marauders, maggots in the ruins.

"Well done, chick." A marauder with a machete grinned and picked up the radio, "Sure enough, women have a talent for deception, and we really can't do it if we are a few of us." ”

The other four looters in the house burst into laughter.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, go and arrange it, you can't miss it this time." Another marauder with a rifle in his hand spoke, and judging by the configuration of his weapons, the man with the rifle was clearly the leader of the group.

After listening to the boss's words, the other four found a place to hide, ready to wait for Ding Hao to come to fight a beautiful ambush, and the girl kneeling in the center of the room could only cry silently because she was pointed at a rifle, and tears fell on the carpet one by one.

"After this vote, I want to vent my anger." Looking at the crying girl, the Marauder Boss couldn't help but say.

"I'll be the second one!" "My third!" …… The other four who were hiding whispered in response, and the girl's body couldn't help but tremble violently when she heard the words of these marauders.

……

On the other side, Ding Hao quietly approached the villa in a state of concealment. Although the woman's voice sounded nervous and scared, it was true that this was the United States of the Blue Eagle after all, and even before the end of the world, it was a country with a high crime rate, let alone the end of the world when the order was completely collapsed, so it was not a big mistake to be cautious.

When Ding Hao came to the vicinity of this villa, he did see three ghouls knocking on the door of the villa, but all of them were weak ghouls with physical disabilities and slow movements.

Looks like there's something really wrong here.

Ding Hao ignored the three crippled ghouls at the door, but quietly climbed up to the balcony on the third floor of the villa along the bulge on the outer wall, and when Ding Hao looked into the window, a head wearing a punk mask also happened to look out of this window, and the heads of the two almost collided!
