75. Shooting range

Portland isn't far from the shallow water port, about 80 kilometers away, and it's a quick drive away, provided there are no traffic jams on the road and no crazy marauder drag racers.

"Aha! Man, let's have fun! A tattered appearance modified car increased its horsepower and overtook Ding Hao, and consciously pouted Ding Hao when overtaking, Ding Hao's Baji car was small in size and light in weight, and was almost turned over into the wilderness on the side of the road by this blow. And it was not only the car that was whistling by, but also a series of bullets, and there was a marauder on the modified car who was holding an AKM splashing water at Ding Hao.

Ding Ding Ding! A series of 7.62 intermediate power bullets hit the shell and flew out pieces of sparks, if it weren't for the off-road vehicle being installed with a bulletproof shell by Ding Hao, it is estimated that even the fuel tank would have to be pierced.

These guys are the drag racers of the Marauders, and the slightly skilled ones of the Marauders will remove the still usable parts from the wreckage of the cars in the ruins of the city to form new cars for the use of the drag racers in the team, although these cars are simple in appearance and rough in structure, but they are unexpectedly solid, and it is easy to fly up to 80 yards. They often work in pairs, one driving and the other shooting, specifically targeting lone travelers like Ding Hao. And because the guys have cars and are hard to get rid of, the Marauder Drag Racers are known as the most hated existence in the wilderness, and there is no one.

"Good! I'll play with you! Ding Hao is not a person who can't fight back just after being beaten, he was furious on the spot, and directly turned on the automatic turret installed on the back cover of the car. There is a diamond-shaped lid on the turret, and when it is on standby, the lid will cover the two barrels together, which looks like a small tin box, and when the two thick barrels are exposed, the marauder drag racers in front of them are dumbfounded.

"Isn't it fun? Isn't it fun? In Ding Hao's roar, the two barrels of the automatic turret erupted into dazzling tongues of fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of the M2 heavy machine gun was as calm and powerful as a sledgehammer, and the Marauder with the AKM rifle was directly torn to shreds by the two machine gun bullets in a stunned manner. But it's not over, Ding Hao stepped on the accelerator and raised the speed of the Buggy car, the two cars drove side by side, and at the same time, the battery kept hitting the other party's car, and within a few seconds, the modified car of the Marauder was hit with fire and smoke, overturned on the side of the road, and then exploded into a fireball!

"Cut! A bunch of mentally retarded! After killing the Marauder Drag Racing Party, Ding Hao gestured his middle finger and stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving only the burning wreckage of the car quietly emitting black smoke.

……

After more than ten minutes, Ding Hao saw a rusty signboard at a fork in the road, which read: FN Company's weapons test range, 1,000 meters to the east.

Shocked! It's actually FN, before the end of the world, FN is a world-famous weapons manufacturing company, its representative works are P90, FAL, F2000, SCAR and other well-known weapons, for the ruins of this well-known factory Ding Hao of course does not want to miss it, just dig something out is a rare treasure.

So he turned the car around and drove in the direction of the shooting range.

After 80 years of wind and rain erosion, the shooting range looks very dilapidated, but after all, it is located in the suburbs, and it has not been hit by military attacks, and the shooting range building itself is slightly more demanding, so the general building is still intact and has not been damaged or collapsed.

Ding Hao first removed the Hound No. 1 from the back cover of the off-road vehicle, and then retracted the off-road vehicle into the interface space.

And in order to prevent accidents, Ding Hao also put silencers on the two barrels of the Hound No. 1, although the sound suppression effect of the large-caliber rifle is not very good, but it can also greatly reduce the noise made when firing and avoid extraneous branches. Then Ding Hao found a tree to climb up, went into stealth and used the tactical terminal to control Hound No. 1 to enter the shooting range. Hound No. 1 is only half a meter tall, and the picture in the tactical terminal suddenly enters the Gobit mode, and the surrounding environment appears to be very large.

Ding Hao controlled Hound No. 1 to run around in the shooting range building, Hound No. 1 is an electric drone, the sound it makes when it moves is small, and it has no heat signature, and it doesn't look like food, so it won't cause the attack of the ghouls in the shooting range at all. However, Ding Hao was not polite, controlling the drone against the ghouls in the shooting range was brainless, and the flesh and blood were splashed. However, while fighting, Ding Hao suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, most of the ghouls in the shooting range were actually wearing marauder armor.

Ghouls are common, but this is the first time that Ding Hao, a ghoul wearing marauder armor, has seen him for the first time.

So here's the problem, when Ding Hao and Dr. Zareth discussed the problem of ghouls when they were in Seattle, and learned from the known information that the original ghouls were transformed from humans after the apocalypse, because of nuclear radiation, and the third year after the end of the world was the explosive period of the growth of the number of ghouls, and it was not until the sixth year that the growth rate flattened out, and finally slowly returned to zero. Since then, humans have not become ghouls even after being exposed to very large doses of radiation, and the corpses will only slowly decay after death. From this point onwards, ghouls can only be born through adult ghoul mating, and can no longer be transformed by humans.

But here's the problem, these ghouls in marauder armor have shattered the immediate social conclusion about the birth of ghouls, in other words, there must be something here that can forcibly transform a living person or corpse into a ghoul.

After figuring this out, Ding Hao was quite glad that he did not enter rashly, but let the drone go in to explore the way first.

After clearing the ghouls in the reception hall of the shooting range, Ding Hao began to control the drone to find a way to other areas.

This is a weapons testing range of FN Company, and it will definitely not only be a simple row of targets, but also a variety of studios to facilitate the debugging of problems encountered during the test, as well as a lot of ancillary buildings such as rest rooms and ammunition depots, so the area here is large, and the internal structure is as intricate as a maze.

After wandering around for a while, Ding Hao found the stairs leading to the underground area, with the size of Hound No. 1, the stairs couldn't trap it, but the information of the drone was extremely different after being blocked by reinforced concrete, and Ding Hao had no choice but to go into battle in person.

As for potential dangers or something, just kidding, when did Ding Hao ever be afraid of these?

Adjusting the Hound No. 1 to follow mode, Ding Hao took the drone to the basement floor, a closed metal door blocked the way of the two, Ding Hao took out the access card that Warak gave himself and swiped it on the door, the metal door made a screeching noise and opened half of it and then stuck.

After all, it has been abandoned for 80 years, and it can't be too demanding.

I pulled the door open, and there was a bottle of pitch black behind the door, obviously the power had been out for a long time, and only the deuterium light tube used for emergency was still emitting a faint light.

Ding Hao turned on the tactical flashlight, and continued to go deeper with Hound No. 1, the passage was long and dark, and the rooms were staggered on both sides of the passage, Ding Hao went in and took a look, and found that these rooms were some workshops used to modify weapons, all kinds of parts and tools were scattered everywhere, and when he checked the third room, Ding Hao found an interesting thing.

M9 Thorn (Tungsten Steel Version): The limited edition M9 Thorn produced by USMC is made of tungsten alloy steel with high hardness and toughness, with a full keel design and a screw connection to facilitate the interchange of accessories.

It's a beautifully crafted spur, but it's not enough to look good. Ding Hao picked up the dagger and observed it carefully, and then slashed at an iron rod beside him. “Duang…… Duang…… Duang ...... "After several slashes, several deep marks appeared on the iron rod, but the edge of the dagger was not damaged at all, not even a single scratch.

"Hmm...... Yin blows Siting. "With this military thorn, the original fighting dagger can be eliminated.

After putting away the dagger, just as Ding Hao was about to continue deeper, he suddenly heard a series of low and penetrating strange sounds, like insects crawling, this sound sounded far away, as if it was coming through many layers of walls.

This voice startled Ding Hao, and he hurriedly looked around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

It is estimated that some kind of mutant creature got into the ventilation duct, Ding Hao calmed down, and then continued to go deeper with Hound No. 1.

Judging from the layout of this shooting range, the ground part should be a place to test weapons, with some fine-tuning for weapons, and the basement is a place to modify weapons, if the weapon encounters any more difficult problems in the test, it will be taken here to solve, and then there is the second underground floor, the second underground floor is a storage room, and the weapons used for testing will be temporarily stored here if they are too late to take away, after all, this shooting range is used to test new weapons, and these weapons cannot be touched by others at will.

The isolation door on the second basement floor has been completely closed because of the power outage, and there is no response to even swiping the card, but it is not without a solution, Ding Hao used a dagger to pry open the panel of the card, and then picked out the wires inside, found the wires used to connect the power supply and cut the rubber with a dagger, and then connected the tactical terminal to the power line with the connecting wire, and the energy battery in the tactical terminal should be able to provide the power needed to open the door.

Sure enough, after connecting, the control panel really lit up, Ding Hao swiped the card again, and the door opened silently.

Behind the door is a small storage room, under the illumination of the flashlight, Ding Hao saw that in addition to a few shriveled corpses, the most striking thing in this empty storage room was the dark green metal box placed in the corner of the wall, obviously what he was looking for was inside.

The target was close in front of him, Ding Hao couldn't help but walk over, but at this moment, the ventilation duct at the top made a crisp sound, and the baffle of the ventilation duct suddenly fell, and then there was a guy with a slender body that emitted green fluorescence and jumped down from the ventilation duct, and then let out a hoarse and ugly roar at Ding Hao.

Surprised, it's actually a glowing seed!
