16. Quartermaster

Feeling that the ghoul under him no longer moved, Ding Hao breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the dagger that was tied to the back of the high-jumping ghoul, and wiped the red-green liquid stuck to the dagger with the disinfectant gauze scattered on the ground, before getting up and walking out of the laboratory.

The luminous species that have not evolved completely are not much more powerful than before they evolved, and the small laboratory also limits the talent advantage of high-jumping ghouls, and it is reasonable to be killed by Ding Hao quickly.

"What the hell did you do to bring this guy back to life?" Ding Hao was very curious about the three researchers. Because Ding Hao clearly remembered that when he was captured, his arrow pierced the cervical vertebrae of this high-jumping ghoul with absolute accuracy, and this ghoul was carried by Prest for a long time. In every sense of the word, this ghoul is absolutely dead.

"I ...... We just X-rayed the ghoul and didn't expect it to come back to life. One of the researchers said with a wist.

"X-rays? Perhaps the ionizing radiation caused by radioactive materials is not a harm but a cure for ghouls, and it seems that ghouls have many secrets that we have yet to uncover. Dr. Zareth listened to the researcher's report and thought for a moment before coming to this conclusion, and gave an order: "All future experiments on ghouls must ensure that guards are present, and I don't want this to happen again." ”

After finishing the laboratory, Lester took Ding Hao to the 9th floor to arrange accommodation, because Ding Hao only lived here temporarily, so Lester arranged Ding Hao in a temporary residence, and the people who lived here were basically non-volunteer soldiers such as travelers.

"Hey, buddy, new here?" As soon as Lester left, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance entered Ding Hao's room.

"Well, what's the matter with you?" Ding Hao stopped to make the bed and turned his head to ask.

"I live next door to you, just to get to know you." Faced with Ding Hao's question, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands a little embarrassed.

"You must have something, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me rashly." Ding Hao is not very old, but his vision is not bad, and he can see at a glance that this middle-aged man must have something to find him.

"Well, you can see it." After being broken by Ding Hao, the middle-aged man did not hide it and said his request.

This middle-aged man, Harlow, is a scavenger, a person who goes into the city to pick up garbage, and the scavenger searches the ruins of the city for those items that are still usable and sells them to various gathering places in exchange for resources, which is an extremely dangerous but essential occupation.

Now that the city is full of ghouls, a good weapon is indispensable if you want to scavenge quietly, and this middle-aged man is more unlucky, his shotgun has been ripped by ghouls, and if it weren't for a group of volunteers going out, Harlow would have been eaten by the ghouls.

But without weapons, it can be said that it is impossible to move an inch in this city full of ghouls, but Harlow cannot stay in the garrison of the Volunteers all the time. The Volunteers, despite their good reputation, are not charitable organizations.

"I have a lot of shotgun ammunition left here, so I'd like to ask you to help me find one." Harlow said to Ding Hao. The factories here of the Volunteers can only produce bullets, and they are powerless to make firearms. As for the iron tube gun, although this thing can be built, you must be mentally prepared to blow up your fingers first.

"......" Ding Hao kept his head down in contemplation after listening to Harlow's words, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Brother, say something, okay?" Harlow couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Ding Hao's appearance. After two seconds, Harlow realized what Ding Hao meant, this was obviously asking for compensation, and he wanted to take the initiative to give compensation.

"Cunning yellow people!" Harlow looked at Ding Hao's appearance and couldn't help but curse secretly, but all the valuable things on Harlow were sold to the volunteers to pay for accommodation, except for bullets, Harlow can be said to be penniless, and there is nothing to pay for.

"So be it." Harlow thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "If you can help me find a shotgun, I'll teach you how to pick locks." ”

"Unlocking? Can any kind of lock be opened? Hearing Harlow say this, Ding Hao suddenly became interested.

"Most of the locks can be opened, and I can't guarantee that those are too complicated." Harlow didn't dare to blow too hard, and told the truth directly.

"Okay, I agreed. But you'll have to tell me where to find a shotgun and what kind of shotgun you want. "One weapon for one skill, this wave is not a loss.

"Gun shops, police cars, police stations, you can find them all in residential buildings. As for the types of shotguns...... "Harlow thought for a moment," Harlow pondered, "pump-action, lever-operated, semi-automatic, fully automatic. By the way, don't use a double-barreled shotgun, if you encounter a large group of ghouls, the double-barreled shotgun will be very passive. ”

Looks like this scavenger has a lot of ideas.

After Harlow left, Ding Hao locked the door and prepared to sleep, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he locked the door with a deadbolt, and used a cabinet to top the door, and then got into the sleeping bag with peace of mind.

Ding Hao got up early the next day, and there are still many things to do today.

"Hey, new guy! Would you like to buy some supplies? Just when Ding Hao had just gone down to the third floor, he suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, looked left and right, and found that the person who was shouting was actually sitting in a large room with a table separating the door, and this room was full of all kinds of boxes.

"Are you...... Quartermaster here? Ding Hao asked tentatively.

"That's right, it's me, my name is Jonah, and I'm in charge of all kinds of supplies for the people who are out." Quartermaster Jonah was a fat man with a full beard, and at this moment this man was looking at Ding Hao with his elbows propped up on the table, "New here, I heard about you, and I thank you for your help, so do you want to buy something?" ”

Ding Hao had almost knocked out all the ammunition on his body in the previous battle, and now he urgently needed to replenish it, so he didn't shirk it, turned the laptop on the table, and began to browse the goods of the quartermaster.

Compared to the barren copper mining town, Quartermaster Jonah has an abundance of goods, including various types of bullets, explosives, weapon accessories, armor, and medical supplies. These materials are distributed free of charge to people within the volunteers, but outsiders like Ding Hao still have to pay a little crystal nucleus.

Ding Hao bought 60 rounds of 9mm Luger bullets, two pieces of bulletproof ceramic armor, and two fragmentation grenades here. So many things cost Ding Hao a total of 60 white crystal nuclei, and nothing has been recorded in the past few days, Ding Hao has only 400 yuan left, and he has no money on him, so he can't do it.

"I've heard that a lot of you guys here need help, so is there anything you need me to do here?" Thinking of what Dane said earlier, Ding Hao asked Jonah while stuffing the bulletproof insert into the slot of the tactical vest.

"Huh?" Hearing Ding Hao ask, Jonah showed a very surprised expression, "Interesting, it's the first time that an outsider has offered to help." But since you're asking, I have a mission here that I need help with. ”

Jonah clicked on the computer, called up a map, and then turned the computer screen to Ding Hao, "Do you see the red mark on the screen?" Those that used to be our safe houses, and our out-of-town personnel who were unable to return to the station before the night came, could find a safe house to spend the night. But now some safe houses have been destroyed, I need to clean up the monsters inside, and reopen the security system, and you can get 600 yuan for each safe house repaired, are you willing to take this job? ”

Why not?

There were a total of 3 destroyed safe houses, and Ding Hao marked the locations of these safe houses one by one on the map of the tactical terminal.

"In addition, if you find something valuable outside that you can't use yourself and sell it to me, I will give you a good price." Jonah said to Ding Hao, "No matter what it is, as long as it is valuable, I will take it, and if you want to make some extra money, you can pay attention to it." ”

This is good news, it just so happens that Ding Hao's interface space is large enough, and it is nothing to decorate messy things.

Stuffing the purchased supplies into his backpack, Ding Hao walked towards the exit of the building. The staircase leading to the second floor was sealed by a heavy iron door, and on either side of the iron door stood two guards with rifles, Ding Hao looked at the two guards, and then reached out to grab the handle of the door.

"Wait! It's still a little bit before dawn, are you sure you want to go out at this time? The black guard on the right suddenly stopped in front of Ding Hao, "Those special infected people are still hanging outside, it's not a joke to go out now!" ”

"It's okay, I know the consequences, open the door."

"Okay, I heard about you, I know you're very good, but also pay attention to safety, those things out there are not vegetarians." The black guard saw that Ding Hao was so insistent, and simply took out the key and opened the iron door, "By the way, the door will only be opened from six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening tomorrow, if it exceeds this time, the door will be locked, even if you are bitten to death by the ghoul outside in the next second, we will definitely not open the door." If you don't come back on time, you can go to the safe house outside, the UV light in the safe house will automatically turn on when night comes, and it will be easy to find, good luck. ”

Walking out the door and through the long ultraviolet corridor, Ding Hao left the building again. It was already late autumn, and although it was already past six o'clock, the sun had not yet risen, and there was darkness between heaven and earth, and there were countless hungry predators roaming the city, looking for delicious flesh and blood.

Ordinary people would never leave the safe zone at this time in order to avoid the brutal special infected, but after the previous all-night battle, Ding Hao found that he was no longer as resistant to those special ghouls as before, but had a hint of anticipation.

Standing at the door of the building, Ding Hao first clicked on his skill interface, and there was a new skill point waiting to be assigned.
