Chapter 203: Mutants
As we entered the city, the entire convoy became vigilant, and although it had been here many times, it needed to be vigilant every time it passed.
After a few years of fighting, the mutants have gradually learned to think through the elimination, and they know how to ambush near the nearest city to the Sanctuary, which is the closest place to humans.
"Drive slower so that the cars behind can keep up. Another person next to him said.
Yuan Dongdao slowly entered the city, his eyes kept on the corners around him, and as a patrol, they even had to remember most of the places they had fiddled with before.
When the end comes, most of the vehicles are in the process of driving and are killed, so the roads are blocked.
After years of constant travel, the patrol gradually opened the road...... But if there are other layouts on the road, you need to be more vigilant, because it is likely that the mutants are fiddling with the purpose of stopping the patrol from moving forward.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's all normal. I remember the marker, I got it before, and they haven't been passive yet. Walking in the abandoned city, Yuan Dongdao saw the mark pattern he had made with spray paint before.
There was no trace of movement, and everything was business as usual.
"Well, I'll take a look at the layout of the city. The companion sitting on the other side opened the paper map in his hand.
After the nuclear war, all the satellites had been destroyed, and the navigation system was long since it was useless, so the patrol had to pay close attention to the local map without going anywhere.
Some of them can be found in the ruins, but if they can't be found, they can only be used as simple topographic maps through multiple explorations......
"Let's go to the reservoir here, it's where we're going on this trip. ”
Water.
Another resource that is even more precious than gold.
When shelters are established, most of them are built in areas with plenty of water, either groundwater or rivers running through them.
But it's more reassuring than polluted rivers or groundwater......
Over the years, the shelter has vigorously exploited groundwater resources, and almost everything that can be used has been excavated. It was not until the discovery of special minerals that the search for groundwater stopped.
"Well, look for it. Yuan Dongdao picked up the weapon at hand.
They were the front vehicle, followed by a dozen vehicles, including a large vehicle that was scavenging for fuel and water, and the patrol's most important purpose was to protect them and return them safely to shelters.
Follow the route slowly until you reach the vicinity of the waterworks.
Although more than ten years have passed, the underground storage water that was once built up in the destruction has not been polluted, and is even well preserved.
Before the end of the world, they were the water that supplied the entire city, and now they are a reserve of water for the shelter.
Watch as more than a dozen vehicles stop near the waterworks, where the collection vehicles begin to draw groundwater.
And at this time, everyone else should be on guard in the vicinity.
It takes about two or three hours, and during the rotational period, the patrol also loots a lot of personal belongings.
Yuan Dongdao stood at the door of the reservoir factory with the latest weapon.
"You watch here, I'll go up there and see. ”
Everyone on the patrol knows what it means...... Those who see it have a share, and all will agree.
Climb along the highest reservoir of the reservoir to the top,
First of all, you need to look at the situation in the neighborhood.
However, when Yuan Dongdao stood at the highest point and watched, he suddenly noticed the area near the reservoir.
Industrial areas are usually far away from the city, and it is easier to see the situation on the nearby barren mountains from this place, and Yuan Dongdao, who is standing high at the moment, can see the inside of the city through a telescope.
Among the pavilions, in the deserted dwellings.
"Strange, I remember the last time I saw it, most of the windows were open, how come they are closed now. Yuan Dongdao said.
"What's wrong? ”
"No, it must have been blown by the wind, and the wind has been quite strong this season. He said.
Most of the city's glass windows have long since been broken, and even if they remain only a few pieces of debris, patrols have already climbed every building in the city over the years.
Opening the windows is basically the first thing a patrol does every time you go up to the attic......
It's been too long, and even the city in ruins doesn't taste good, so the windows are often opened.
And now I see that most of them are closed.
"Is there a problem? show me. The companion who followed him asked eagerly.
"No, no...... It's all good, let's go to the room and maybe find something else. ”
Scavenging is a favorite job for all patrol members, as they may find something useful, even a stack of unused manuscript paper that can be sold for money on the black market.
Because the technology that can make paper in the shelter is not as good as before, anything from the glory days is worth cherishing or studying and using.
"Let's go, let's go down and have a look. ”
Just as he was about to come down from the tower, Yuan Dongdao suddenly heard a strange roar.
Like an ape, but with a voice much harsher than that...... If you listen carefully, there is also the sound of a snake.
"Wait. ”
It's so loud that even those below should be able to hear it.
"There's an enemy attack!!"
"Enemy attack!"
A group of people yelled and alerted those around them.
The pumping trucks have not yet finished their work, and everyone must be on standby.
The sound is getting closer......
Yuan Dongdao still hadn't come down from the tower, he was standing on a high place so he could see more clearly.
In the distance of the reservoir, a snake-like shadow gradually gathered, as if converging on a single body.
It was four or five meters tall, and from the shadow it looked like a standing and walking Homo erectus, but it had no head...... At the place of the head, dozens of long snake-like flesh-shaped whips protruded from the neck.
"It's the Faceless Man! ”
There is some information on all the mutants seen in the shelter, and they are programmed with hundreds of xenomorphs.
Each mutant has a unique code name or name, and this one is it!
"Be careful, don't let it get close, if you get caught in your tongue, you'll die, attack from the longest distance. ”
Everyone is the first to attack the mutant as soon as they are given the order......
Yuan Dongdao used the latest weapons.
It is a firearm made from a newly discovered energy source, and unlike ordinary bullet guns, it uses energy contained in special minerals.
A powerful wave of energy appears when firing.
Just like an air bomb, as long as it hits the target, a hole will appear in the opponent's body.
It's the newest weapon and the most powerful energy source ever unearthed in the Sanctuary!
