65. Jewel crystallization worm
If the marauders in the ruins are mad dogs that bite people at sight, then the guards outside the Black Axe City are the Tibetan mastiffs that are chained to their bodies.
They are more well-armed, burly, and sharp-eyed, and they are clearly more dangerous than the marauders outside, but they can communicate.
"New here? Want to enter Black Axe City? Ding Hao's blood-stained black combat uniform greatly deterred these burly militants, at least they stopped being contemptuous in their words.
"I heard that you can buy good things here, so I'm going to check it out."
"Who did you listen to?" One of the armed men wanted to get a look.
"That's not what you should ask, friend." Ding Hao said mercilessly.
"Uh......" Ding Hao choked all over his face, and the armed man subconsciously reached out to touch the rifle behind him, but was stopped by another armed man beside him.
"Go more than ten meters and you'll see a window that will tell you if you go into the city." This armed man was quite polite and pointed out the direction for Ding Hao.
"Why are you holding me back? He's just a mercenary, an insignificant loner! "After Ding Hao left, the marauder guard yelled at his companion unhappily." I could have killed him with one shot! ”
"But he can shoot you in the head before you can pull out your gun! You idiot, didn't you notice that his hand was on the handle of the gun all the time? The other guard scolded unceremoniously. And we're talking about the rules here, not seeing who kills who like you used to, so next time whatever you want to do, use your sprout-sized brain first! ”
On the other side, Ding Hao had already come to the window for entering the city.
"New here? Want to go into town? "In the window was a shriveled and thin old man with a mercenary face." Do you know the conditions? ”
"You tell me I need something, and I'll go find it." Ding Hao said very calmly, "So don't talk nonsense, let's get to the point." ”
Hearing what Ding Hao said so directly, the old man was stunned for a second before coming back to his senses: "Hehe, it's direct enough." ”
Then the old man threw out a piece of paper. Ding Hao took the paper and looked at it, and there was a strange creature drawn on it, which looked like a fat lizard with crystal clusters on its back.
"What is this?" Another strange thing that he had never seen before, Ding Hao asked curiously.
"This little guy is called the Gem Crystal Worm, it will condense some metals and gems with special properties in its body, you just go and get some." The old man said.
"Where can I find this?" Ding Hao asked.
"It is said that someone has hunted the gem crystal worm in the small park in the middle of the city, you can go over there to look for it, if you find it, remember to start quickly, this little thing is very timid, and climbs fast, don't be careless and slip away." The old man grinned, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth. "And it's not safe there, be careful not to lose your life."
……
The small park is a pre-apocalyptic saying, when Ding Hao came to this place, he found that there was a park here, it was obviously a swamp, and the entire park was flooded by calf-deep water. There are a lot of crabs walking around the water, and apart from the higher radiation, it looks no different from the pre-apocalyptic tidal wetlands that were tourist attractions.
However, in this day and age, it is even the most implausible judgment that seems safe, because you never know how many dangers lurk beneath the seemingly safe surface.
Ding Hao cautiously stepped into the swamp with the M4A1 in case of any emergency, but after walking for a while, he found that there really didn't seem to be anything else here except crabs.
"Go away! You stupid rations! Ding Hao kicked the crab holding his trouser leg out with one kick, and under the huge force that was enough to open the mountain and crack the rock, the poor crab snapped and stuck on the trunk of the tree not far away, and the crab roe spilled out, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong fishy smell.
Smelling this fishy smell, the little crabs around rushed towards Ding Hao with small clips held high, and they had the posture of avenging their brothers.
"Yo! The rations rebelled! Ding Hao took out a crowbar that was turned out of Kerry's garbage heap, and then hit the crabs on their heads, and with a crackling sound, the crabs were flattened by Ding Hao one by one, and a thick layer of butter floated on the water.
"Is this called danger?" Thinking of the weird smile on the old man's face before, Ding Hao stirred the crowbar in the water and washed off the crab roe on it, "It doesn't look very good." ”
However, before Ding Hao finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound in the distance, and when he looked up, he found that it was a huge crab crawling out of the puddle, waving huge sharp pincers and rushing sideways towards his position.
", is this the ancestor of the crab?" Seeing that the other party was menacing, Ding Hao immediately subconsciously turned around and ran, but the deep water in his calf greatly hindered Ding Hao's movements, making the giant crab quickly catch up.
This crab is 4 meters high and 10 meters wide, just like a tank, after catching up, it smashed Ding Hao with its pincers and covered its face.
However, the frequency of attacks was very slow, and the accuracy was not good, Ding Hao rolled to his feet, dodging the crab's attack while thinking about how to deal with this guy.
First of all, although this crab is huge, its physiological structure is no different from that of an ordinary crab, which means that its pincers will never clip anything on the crab shell. And the only thing that protects the crab's internal organs is a crab shell, and although this thick chitin carapace is unusually strong and difficult for bullets to penetrate, it does not mean that bombs cannot shatter it.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao immediately pulled away, and then aimed at the back shell of the giant crab is an armor-piercing grenade shot out, accompanied by a deafening roar, the red-hot metal jet easily blasted a big hole in the crab's back.
Attacked, the giant crab hurriedly turned around, but this huge creature usually suffers from difficulty in turning, which is the so-called big and weak chrysanthemum, and when the crab turned around, Ding Hao had already climbed onto its back.
Flick off the pull ring on the grenade with your thumb, and then stuff it through the hole in the back shell of the giant crab, and after two or three seconds, with a muffled sound, the crab roe and crab paste suddenly sprayed out of the small hole on the back, looking like a yellow fountain.
The giant crab twitched twice, then crashed to the ground.
Creatures such as crabs and spiders have very obvious weaknesses, and if they find the trick, they can kill them in minutes. In the words of the game, these guys are not bosses even if they reach level 5, and they are at most difficult elite monsters.
After all, even if the ingredients become bigger, they are only larger ingredients, and their essence cannot be changed.
After picking up a blue crystal nucleus from the ground and continuing deeper, he soon found a high ground in this swamp-like park, where there are still some architectural debris and entertainment facilities, which were originally used for rest and entertainment for tourists, but are now a nest for mutated creatures.
Ding Hao did not rush in, but found a tree to climb up, took out a telescope to check in the direction of the highlands, and found that there were a large group of fierce-looking rotten wolves living on this highland, these rotten wolves had thick and developed limbs, their heads were twice as large as ordinary rotten wolves, the sharp fangs in their mouths grew irregularly, and their eyes revealed a fierce red glow, which looked very difficult to mess with, in contrast, the rotten wolves that I had encountered outside the copper mining town were as gentle and lovely as Teddy.
It's better not to rush close to these guys, Ding Hao continued to observe, and soon found three white and chubby little lizards with crystal clusters on their bodies in the clearing, isn't this the gem crystal worm he was looking for.
These gem crystals are leisurely eating the stones on the ground, looking very leisurely, but there are more than 20 rotting wolves on the highlands, and it is obviously not a simple task to obtain gem crystals in the wolves.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao took out the M21 bolt-action sniper rifle he had obtained earlier, loaded a fully loaded magazine, and then squatted on the ground and aimed in the direction of the high ground.
Is it to fight wolves or gem crystals? That's a problem. Ding Hao suddenly remembered that when he took on this task before, the old man had said that the gem crystal worm would flee quickly when frightened, so he put the crosshair of the medium-range scope on the gem crystal worm.
In other words, the power of 7.62NATO should be fatal in one hit.
However, before firing, Ding Hao lowered the muzzle of the gun again, and then installed the silencer of the M9 pistol on the M21, M9 uses a 9mm caliber universal silencer, which can be used on any firearm with a caliber of no more than 9mm.
Putting the crosshair on the gem crystal worm again, Ding Hao held his breath and clasped his fingers hard.
Under the action of the spring, the firing pin hit the bottom of the bullet and the fire, and the burst of sparks ignited the propellant in the cartridge case, and the propellant quickly burned and expanded into gas, and the huge pressure generated pushed the warhead forward, and the warhead flew out at a speed of 880 meters per second under the action of the barrel rifling, and hit the gem crystal worm 80 meters away in 0.1 seconds, and the kinetic energy of up to 3500 joules was released to the fullest, directly breaking the hard body of the gem crystal worm into two.
The sound of the shot was minimized by the silencer, but the sound of the bullet hitting the ground still alerted all the rotting wolves, and the other two gem worms writhed their fat bodies to escape.
"Don't try to escape." Ding Hao pulled the bolt, an empty bullet shell flew out and fell into the swamp, and then pushed the bolt, a new bullet was loaded, aiming at the second gem crystal worm and pulling the trigger again, this time directly knocking its head away, under the action of force, the headless corpse of the gem crystal worm also jumped up and spun several times.
"One ...... after another" Ding Hao pulled the bolt again, and the third gem crystal worm was directly exploded before it ran 5 meters away.
While killing the three gem crystallization insects quickly, Ding Hao also successfully angered all the rotten wolves on the highlands.
