103. The so-called magician

On an empty highway, a modified bus sped by.

The seats in the bus have been converted into beds, and more than 20 people are lying on the beds, their faces are full of confusion and confusion, as if they have lost hope of living.

But by comparison, the four people who are busy at the front of the bus seem to be full of energy.

"Hey, Zoe, how's our new guest doing?" The driver of the car was a burly white man with short shaved hair and shirtless even in the cold winter months. Both arms are covered in tattoos, looking like an unruly prodigal son, and a SPAR12 shotgun sits next to his seat.

"He's fine, Francis. He's just a little undertemperature and should recover soon. "Zoe was a pretty girl, looking to be in her twenties, with a .45USP pistol pinned to each of her thighs.

At this moment, Zoe is taking care of an unconscious man, and it is Ding Hao who has fallen into a coma.

"Luis, how many blood sugar shots do we have?" Zoe looked at the bald black man who was statistically.

"There's only one left." Louis flipped through the first aid kit, and then said helplessly, "I suggest keeping it for now, this guy may recover on his own in a while." ”

"Give it to me." Zoe held out his hand to Louis.

"Okay." Louis handed the blood sugar shot to Zoe with an unhappy face: "If you want me to say, we are short of food, medicine, and ammunition now, and it is really not wise to take in some people of unknown origin." ”

"Calm down, Louis, the bread will be fine, everything will be fine." The last person to speak was an old man in military uniform, who had been smoking a cigarette, making the whole carriage full of smoke.

"Bill is right, these things are not family heirlooms, they are produced for human use." Francis, who was driving the car, said with a smile: "When we get to the next big city, we will go and search for these things, and we don't need to feel distressed at all when we use them." ”

"I mean, it's better to have some reserves in case of emergencies." Louis argued unconvinced. "I don't have any reserves at the moment, which makes me very unsure."

While Louis defended himself, Zoe had already slowly pushed the glucose in the needle into Ding Hao's vein.

Glucose decomposed quickly, and with the replenishment of biological energy, Ding Hao's body temperature quickly recovered, and his originally pale skin became rosy again, and then his eyelids trembled, and then he opened his eyes.

"Uh......" After waking up, Ding Hao felt extremely weak, and as soon as he opened his eyes, three heads were in front of him, which made people feel very nervous.

"You're awake." Zoe helped Ding Hao up and handed over a glass of sugar water, "How do you feel?" ”

"I'm fine." Ding Hao took a sip of sugar water and drank it, feeling that his whole body was warm, and then moved his body slightly, and found that he was not missing arms or legs, and there was no discomfort except for soreness, "Who are you?" Where am I? ”

"My name is Zoe." Zoe looked at the others in the carriage: "We are a group of refugees fleeing for their lives, and we found you unconscious on the river beach while passing through the Hira River to get water, and then took you to the car. ”

"My name is Ding Hao, and I'm a mercenary, and I accidentally fell into the Hira River while hunting mutant creatures." Ding Hao hid the between himself and the Shadow Council, this kind of thing is the best if he doesn't know, "Thank you very much for saving me." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Zoe smiled, "Everyone is having a hard time now, and it's right to help each other." ”

Then everyone introduced each other, and Ding Hao also knew the identities of these people, they were originally residents of Yuma City, and Zoe was a trainee doctor; The driver's name was Francis, who was originally an auto mechanic; The bald black man, called Louis, was an accountant; And the old man named Bill is a retired old mercenary, an instructor who teaches combat skills.

Compared to the dead people in the back of the car, these four people looked a little more normal.

"I'm curious, why on earth are you fleeing?" Ding Hao looked left and right and found that the bus was not only stuffed with people, but also with all kinds of supplies, and it was like a canned sardine.

"It was a blizzard, the blizzard that destroyed our city the other day." Zoe said with some frustration, "We originally had more than a thousand residents in Yuma City, and now all of us are alive in this car. ”

"Blizzard? Can a blizzard wipe out an entire city? Ding Hao asked tentatively.

"It's not just a blizzard." Bill dropped the butt of his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his foot, "Blizzards and low temperatures are one thing, but it's someone else who has caused us this devastating disaster. ”

"Is it a dry corpse with a scythe and a pack of wolves?" Ding Hao asked subconsciously.

"How do you know?" Bilton's eyes widened, "Have you encountered it too?" ”

"Sort of." Ding Hao nodded, "I met it on the highway at the beginning, and when I was driving, it couldn't catch up with me at all." ”

"No wonder, that's how we escaped from Yuma City." Bill said. "That monster doesn't move fast, indeed."

Ding Hao: "So where are we going now?" ”

"We're going to Tucson to the east now." Francis, who was driving, said, "Go there and get some supplies, and then find a suitable place to settle down." ”

"yes, especially medicine and food." Louis, who had been statistically, suddenly spoke.

"Louis!" Zoe screamed dissatisfied.

"We're running out of medicine and food, what's the problem?" Louis held up the tablet in his hand, and the food and medicine columns on it were all red for making ends meet

"If you need to scavenge for supplies, I can help too." Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, Ding Hao, who didn't know the truth, said, "I'm a mercenary, and I'm quite good at fighting or searching." ”

"yes, that couldn't be better." Louis shrugged his shoulders and continued his statistics.

When they were in Copper Mine Town, Lucia, the electric evolutionary, had invited Ding Hao to go to the east with them, because the further east they went on this continent, the stronger the radiation became, the more evolutionary there were, and in the same way, the mutated creatures were stronger.

Monsters like mutant wolves, mutant birds, mutant bobcats, and mutant lizards can be found everywhere, and they will also stay near the highway and launch surprise attacks on passing vehicles.

But fortunately, the bus is heavy enough, the overall structure is strong enough, the outer layer has barbed armor and electrified barbed wire, and Bill uses the machine gun on the roof to keep strafing and driving, so that the bus is not dismantled by those manic mutant creatures, but Rao is so, and the bus shell also leaves large claw marks and dents, which looks simply miserable.

"I don't have an armored car these days, and I'm embarrassed to wander around in the field." Stopping outside Tucson, Ding Hao couldn't help but complain as he looked at the layers of marks on the outer armor of the bus.

"It's a good idea, and when we find an armored car, we can look at how to cram so many people into it." Francis grabbed his shotgun and jumped out of the car, "Alright, Tucson City is here, let's go in and scavenge for supplies." ”

"We? Is it just the five of us? Ding Hao looked around and found that there were only Bill, Zoe, Louis and Francis besides himself, and none of the other passengers in the car got down.

"Yes, they're not in a good state of mind to find supplies, so they'll just need to keep the vehicle safe and repair the damage. Don't worry, these guys will protect themselves. Louis brought a Uzi submachine gun equipped with a silencer and handed it to Ding Hao, "This is for you, there are not many bullets, save some use." ”

"No, thanks, I have my own weapon." Ding Hao let go of his pants, and just when everyone thought he was going to start playing hooligan, Ding Hao took the long SCAR-H out of his crotch, "Look, I have this." ”

Watching Ding Hao take out a big gun from under the block, Bill's eyes were about to pop out.

"You...... How did you do that? Francis asked in surprise, because Ding Hao was found by the river, soaking wet, in order to save him, Francis stripped all the clothes on Ding Hao's body, and he was very familiar with whether Ding Hao had weapons on him.

"Actually, I'm a part-time magician." Ding Hao's left hand clenched into a fist, and then pulled out a full magazine from between his fingers and slapped it into the bolt, "This is my most proud magic." ”
