Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 4 The Poor Ghost
Chen Xing is a person with strong action, and he quickly made a decision to give it a go!
As long as you can get that gold chain, you can buy a second-hand car, which greatly increases the efficiency and safety of hunting.
The group of living corpses slowly moved towards him, about the walking speed of a normal person. The horror of the living dead is that they never stop and can walk without sleep. Once you get entangled in them, it's a nightmare that you won't wake up. Unless they are eliminated, it will be like a tortoise and hare race. Although it is slow, it is persevering, and as long as you stop to rest, you may be caught up.
After making a decision, Chen Xing took a step forward and ran around the group of living corpses. His purpose is simple, use his speed to lure out the living corpse wearing the necklace and kill it.
As he ran, one of the living corpses covered in green tendons suddenly tilted his head back, leaned sharply, and then slammed forward, "woo-wow", and spewed out a dark green pillar of slime.
Chen Xing had already secretly accumulated his strength when the leader of the living corpses made a move. A second before the slime erupted, he lunged forward and easily dodged the corpse poison spray. He didn't wear a protective suit, nor did he carry an antidote, and if he was sprayed, it was estimated that the end would be similar to the original.
"Whoa, whoa!"
The living corpse leader's attack missed, and he threw his head back and let out an angry roar. At this time, something unexpected happened to Chen Xing. The corpses felt the anger of the leader, and gathered together.
This was a problem, the living corpses were gathered together, and he didn't have a chance to do it. After a few more circles, the corpses not only did not disperse, but also gathered more and more densely. Chen Xing fired several shots in succession, but they didn't hit the target, and the bullets were blocked by the living corpses around him.
Now he can't help it, he has four magazines of bullets on his body, seven rounds each, adding up to less than twenty-eight rounds. The health of ordinary living corpses is 15 points, and the damage of second-hand black stars is 1~4, even if you have a gun headshot, you need four or five shots.
In this way, even if he ran out of bullets, he might not be able to kill the living corpse. And even if you kill it, it's hard to go in and pick it up.
They must be separated!
But how do you do that?
Either drive a truck and hit it, or get a bomb and throw it over.
Bomb?
Chen Xing's mind flashed with inspiration, and he thought of the malicious grenade that Aliya gave him. Pull it away directly, he definitely wouldn't dare, but it's not impossible to change the way......
Thinking of this, he quickly removed the can-like grenade from his belt. He was about to throw it out, but at that moment, a green slime shot out of the corpse. Not toward him, but toward the sky, like a dark green pillar rising up to the sky.
Oops!
Chen Xing secretly thought badly, held his head in both hands, and fell to the ground. In the next second, green slime fell like raindrops. When it touched the ground, it immediately made a soft "sizzle" sound, and wisps of white smoke came out, accompanied by a smell of burnt and thick acid.
"Didu Dot ......"
The black watch sounded a dangerous warning sound, meaning that his life was seriously threatened.
When the acid rain was over, Chen Xing couldn't care about the burning pain all over his body, and with a wave of his arm, he threw the fragmentation grenade out. Then he pulled out his pistol, held it in both hands, and half-knelt on the ground, aiming at the grenade that flew into the corpse.
Ah!
Chen Xing roared in his heart, and his fingers steadily pulled down the trigger.
"Bang!"
Bright flames erupted from the muzzle, and a bullet swirled out, rubbing against the air, with a scorching heat, towards the grenade tumbling down in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The warhead hit the target, the grenade exploded suddenly, and a circle of scorching air rushed in all directions, and Chen Xing's hair was blown indiscriminately.
Several living corpses at the center of the explosion were blown into the air, and severed limbs and stumps flew in all directions. Taking advantage of the gap between the corpses, Chen Xing rushed forward, shooting while accelerating.
"Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang!"
In the smoke of gunpowder, the living corpses in front of them were beaten to pieces. With a distance of more than ten or twenty meters in an instant, Chen Xing rushed to the body of the target's living corpse, grabbed the necklace on its chest, kicked it in the abdomen, and shot it in the head at the same time.
In less than two seconds, Chen Xing completed the three actions of tearing off the necklace, kicking the living corpse, and shooting the head, and then turned around and ran.
"Huhuhu......"
After a few minutes, Chen Xing finally ran out of a safe distance, looked at the corpses not far away, and gradually reduced his speed.
For the first moment, he raised his hand and looked at the black watch.
[Dr2612-5-16,pm3:56]
[Health status: sub-health (living cadaveric toxin 7%, epidermal damage 2%)]
[Mental Power Level: -10]
[Protection Level: 0 (Tattered Clothing)]
[Note: Not in satellite coverage]
Fortunately, the living corpse toxin has only risen to 7 percent, which is still within the safe range. As for the epidermal damage, just go back and deal with it later.
He put away his pistol and looked at the necklace he had just gotten. It feels heavy, at least eighty grams or more, and there is a round stainless steel pendant hanging from it.
After fumbling around, there was a hidden button. Chen Xing pressed it, and with a "click", the lid of the pendant flipped up. A small pinch of black ash fell out and scattered with the wind.
It should be an old photograph from the past, which has been completely corrupted over the course of hundreds of years. At the bottom of the pendant, a line of small letters is engraved. Chen Xing looked at the sunlight and looked carefully.
"Hope never leaves, the sun will always return."
There is also a set of numeric numbers underneath: 723401665
Seeing these lines, the depths of Chen Xing's memory seemed to tremble, and some dusty information emerged.
This kind of pendant is the identification plate of the underground survival center in the Ambergris River Valley of the Red Earth Continent, and the number on it is the number of the survival center. 723401 represents the Ambergris River Basin of the Red Earth Continent, 6 represents the northern wilderness of the Ambergris River Basin, and 65 is the No. 65 Survival Shelter in the Northern Wilderness.
Before the cataclysm, in order to prevent the Third World War, mankind created countless underground shelters. After the invasion of otherworldly creatures, these underground shelters have become the last hope for humanity.
In an instant, tens of thousands of mushroom clouds rose from the ground, huge shock waves collided with each other, and high-rise buildings collapsed in rows. Then, with the advent of nuclear winter, everything was extinguished.
The people who hid in the underground shelter barely survived. But only a small fraction of them can survive the nuclear winter and see the sun again. Most of them fell silent in the long dark night.
An underground survival shelter, even a small operational error, or even the missing spare part, can trigger a chain reaction that will eventually lead to the destruction of all employees.
Water supply, electricity, food, medicine, personnel training, childbirth, any one of the links is tantamount to the death penalty of the entire underground survival center.
Seeing this pendant, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that when he was washing dishes in the bar of Longshi Town in his previous life, he had heard the mercenaries talking about it, saying that he didn't expect to find the remains of an underground survival house near Orchid Town. Just a few kilometers away, so close that no one noticed, it was simply blind.
Chen Xing looked at the table below, and now there is no satellite signal, so it is impossible to locate the coordinates. However, based on the walking distance, as well as the general direction of Orchid Town, combined with the simple map on the watch and previous memories, it was preliminarily deduced that this location was the water supply station of the No. 65 Underground Survival Center.
Because he remembered that the mercenaries were talking about it, and they mentioned that "the land above the water station is gray-black and recognizable".
As for the exact location of the No. 65 Underground Shelter, he did not know, but he could find it through the water station. However, it is not easy, because a survival shelter may have several water supply stations, and they are several kilometers apart.
He seems to have discovered the 65th underground shelter early. Because in the previous life, he only heard about it after half a year in Dragonstone Town. And when he was in Orchid Town, there was no sign of this at all. Because discovering an underground survival shelter is a big thing, there are a lot of valuable things in it, all kinds of precious resources, life-sustaining equipment, guns and ammunition, everything. Merchant, mercenaries, and nobles from all over the country will flock to the city for a piece of the pie.
That popularity is enough to make a fringe town overcrowded, and the colorful tents are like an ocean, dazzling to look at.
He must put this information to good use and win his first pot of gold.
About an hour later, Chen Xing returned to Orchid Town. He did not go to the house in the shack area, but in the hotel on the commercial street, and opened a room with two silver coins.
He took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, then ran to the pharmacy opened by the mayor, bought a bottle of healing spray for three silver coins, returned to his room, undressed, and sprayed the wounds on his body from top to bottom in the mirror.
His skin was lightly burned and covered in tiny wounds. When a mist mixed with disinfectant and skin auxin sprayed on it, Chen Xing grinned in pain.
But the trouble is that most of the wounds are in the back, and he can't reach them himself. I had to run downstairs and ask the waitress at the front desk to come up and help.
"Five golden hammers." In the room, seeing Chen Xing undressing, the waitress said expressionlessly.
This is a girl in her early twenties, with good looks and a good figure, but her skin is not white enough, but she is quite smooth. With such a figure and appearance, it can already be regarded as a high-end product in the edge town. And the problem of not having white skin is because the water and soil in the edge town can't raise fair-skinned girls. Only when the place close to the Ambergris River is restored to verdant greenery and the river water is clear, can it produce a beautiful woman whose skin is better than snow and is like a white jade.
But Chen Xing is not here to do this today, and he has no money. When I turned over my trouser pockets, they were all empty.
"Miss, you misunderstood." Chen Xing said politely.
"Expensive, isn't it? Look at how good you look, one less, four gold hammers, no less. The waitress said.
"This ......" Chen Xing smiled awkwardly and picked up the healing spray on the table.
The waitress was stunned for a moment, then made a "cut~" sound, and with a contemptuous gaze, she took the healing spray and sprayed it towards Chen Xing's back.
"Sneer......"
A white mist fills the air, with a faint medicinal scent. A moment later, the waitress took two copper tips and walked away with a look of disdain.
"Poor ghost." When she brought it to the door, the waitress didn't forget to say a word of disgust.
Chen Xing grabbed his hair very unhappily, locked the door, and fell asleep. After running for most of the day, I was also a little tired.
