Chapter 12: North Star 3
After the Queen of the Mireurlurks is killed, the battle is basically over.
Jiese began to finish with a group of people, and there were people next to him who were gesturing on the ground with tools, and there was a man with glasses in the crowd, who was holding a pen and recording something, and from time to time he turned his head sideways to discuss a few words with Jiese.
The casualties of the battle were smaller than anyone expected.
You must know that the mirelurk is also a monster standing at the top of the food chain in the wasteland, and if a ghoul runs into their territory, it will be eaten, but I didn't expect that no one was killed today, that is, a few people were accidentally injured a little. The biggest credit must be Su Ziyu, if he hadn't sniped the queen of mirelurks, that big guy would have been basically a slaughter as soon as he rushed in, and ordinary people could be directly crushed into minced meat by its huge size.
Others began to clean up the battlefield, some with axes chopping the minrelurks' pincers.
They basically don't want the bounty of this hunting mission, but they also have their share of the income, that is, the meat of these mireururks, if they are all taken out, they can be worth thousands of bottle caps.
"Thank you so much this time." Jiese walked over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder.
He beckoned to a man next to him, then handed over a rudimentary map and said, "I know you want a better weapon." Qin Yu has already told me about it. ”
"I got this thing with a little connection."
Jiese pointed to a gathering place on the map and said in a deep voice, "Here." If you're going to North Star, you're going to have to go north. ”
"This is a special gathering place, called the Ghoul Club."
"Go find a guy nicknamed 'Dr. Ghoul', and he's got some weapons you like."
Speaking of this, Jiese lowered his voice and said, "It is said that he has a Gauss sniper rifle in his hand. ”
"But this guy has a lot of money."
Dr. Ghoul?
Su Ziyu's expression was a little surprised, but after hearing the Gauss sniper rifle, he couldn't help but move.
The Gauss sniper rifle is said to be a weapon that uses electromagnetic energy, a kind of magnetic storm technology developed during the Cold War, and many powerful technologies have been developed in the Old World period of this plane, and many of the research during the Cold War are very, very advanced now, and the nuclear energy technology tree is particularly high at that time. This sniper rifle fires a unique electromagnetic bullet, which takes a few seconds to recharge at a time, but the power is quite amazing, and the accuracy is far beyond other firearms, and it can completely ignore external factors such as wind speed and humidity.
However, it also has disadvantages, that is, it can only be fired single, and it must take about 2 seconds to recharge after a shot is fired.
"Thank you." Su Ziyu stretched out his hand to take the aisle.
"You're welcome." Jiese laughed and said in a low voice: "Be careful over there, that place is a bit weird, and some people like to study ghouls." ”
"There's a Chinatown guy over there, nicknamed Mountain Cannon, and you can find him in the tavern."
"Hmm."
"If only he wasn't dead by now."
"Give him some money, he can help you a lot."
Su Ziyu nodded to indicate that he knew, then reached out and picked up his daughter, and turned around and walked outside with Marty. These people have already begun to slaughter and dissect the mirelurks, the scene looks a little bloody, and large strands of dark cyan blood are flowing out, it is better for the two little girls not to stay here and watch.
"Wait!"
"Let's take some crab meat and grill it!" Marty looked greedy.
She used to live alone in the elk gathering place, and the food she usually ate was definitely not very good, but when she saw the crab meat of the mireururk, she immediately felt a little hungry.
"Take it." Jiese walked over with a crab claw more than a meter long and fifty centimeters in diameter.
The heavy weight made Marty almost not hold it, but Su Ziyu reached out to support it, and then lifted it directly. The mirelurk queen has a higher level of radiation contamination, and its meat may need to be processed before it can be eaten, and there are two or three people over there who are chopping with knives, and it took several minutes to chop off only a small segment, and suddenly someone couldn't help but complain: "Who brought the cutter?" ”
"Who can cut this?"
"Do you have an axe?"
"Find me a key guy? Exercise! I knew I brought Lao Tzu's chainsaw! ”
The whole battle took less than ten minutes, but they cleaned up the carcasses of these mireururks, and it is estimated that they may not be able to finish it tomorrow, but fortunately, Jie Se brought frozen tools over.
There are cooking things on the other side of the convoy.
Su Ziyu hadn't made much before, but he came back soon, holding a big hammer, first breaking the crab claws a little bit, and then starting to make a fire to roast the meat, he smiled and said: "I used to eat a mirelurk crab cake made by a chef, and it tasted really good." ”
"But the spicy crab I grilled is also delicious."
A hint of fragrance gradually spreads.
The people working there smelled hungry, and soon each of them resisted some crab claws and came back to cook, and suddenly the smell of barbecue filled the vicinity of the whole convoy.
"It's going to be busy until tomorrow." While roasting the crab claws, Jiese said, "If you are in a hurry, you can drive that car directly." ”
"That's my car."
"There are three barrels of gasoline in the trunk, which should be enough for you to use the North Star."
"There's something to eat, too."
"But you might have to add a little more along the way."
This great monk usually looks very arrogant, but he is actually very careful, just by looking at this hand to prepare Su Ziyu, he knows that he has already considered the situation in front of him.
"Give." Jiese pried open the crab claws and handed the two pieces of grilled crab meat to Su Ying and Marty next to him, and smiled: "Be careful of scalding." ”
"I'll let Zhao Ang go back with you in a while."
"Go to Elk Camp and get your bounty and you're ready to go."
Very fragrant and tender.
The taste is more delicious than imagined, Suziyu has never eaten crabs so refreshingly in his life, and the upper part of a crab claw alone is enough for one or two people to eat directly. The two little girls were eating a little bit, and Marty was even more eating and touching her stomach all the time, feeling a little inconvenient to walk.
"Don't eat any more."
"We'll bring some back in a moment." There was a hint of pity in Su Ziyu's gaze.
It is indeed not easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to survive alone in the wasteland era, and it is estimated that she has not eaten a big meal for a long time.
"Take it back? Then I'll pick a few big ones. Marty stood up happily.
She's just gone.
The little girl leaned into Su Ziyu's ear and whispered, "Dad." Can we take Marty to Polaris with us? ”
"She's alone here."
Well.
Su Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Is she willing to go?" We didn't get safer to go to Polaris this time than staying at Elk Camp. ”
"Yes." The little girl nodded affirmatively and said, "I'll tell her on the way." ”
Okay, too.
If Marty is willing to go together, Su Ziyu feels that she can also take it, anyway, she stays alone in the elk camp like that, and when Su Ziyu leaves, it is estimated that it will not be easy for her to make a living.
Little by little, time passed.
After dinner, Su Ziyu shook hands with Jiese and said goodbye, and then drove a car back to the elk camp with the little girl and Marty, Zhao Ang took a person to drive another car, and by the time they went back, it was already midnight.
Max's tavern is still lit up.
Su Ziyu's process of getting the bounty went smoothly, and after realizing that the two little girls were a little sleepy, he took them to the Chinese area to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Su Ziyu saw the two little girls who had already packed their things, he found someone to buy some food, and then drove directly to the place called the Ghoul Club. When he set off, Zhao Ang also drove out with a few people, their destination was the Chinatown gathering place, and this time the water plant must be indispensable for the people there to provide some material assistance.
The off-road vehicle modified by the ring color has a good performance, Su Ziyu is quite easy to drive, and the two little girls in the back are whispering whispering, and they are a little sleepy after talking for a while, and the two of them sleep together.
All around was a desolate scene.
Occasionally, there will be ruins on the way, all of which are the ruins of old towns, and most of the resources that can be scraped have been taken, and now only empty shells remain.
It takes about a day to drive to the Ghoul Club from here, and if there are no problems on the way, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to get to Polaris.
Meanwhile.
In the middle of a misty bay, an explosion suddenly sounded on a lonely island.
Thundered.
After a dull explosion, five or six warriors in exoskeleton armor retreated from the fog, firing as they retreated, something looming in the burst of fire, some massive monster with strange tentacles.
"Damn it!"
"I'm running out of energy in my exoskeleton armor." One of the fighters took off his helmet, turned his head and said, "Boss! Are there still fusion batteries? ”
At this time, a calm male voice came, and said, "Let's go back to the island first." ”
"Those monsters are still around."
The group quickly retreated to the island.
In the interior of the island, there is a huge ruin, which seems to be a long-abandoned military base, and there are some freshly dug graves next to it, and the group passes by with a slightly sad expression.
"Leon."
"Did the distress signal really go out?" A slightly hoarse female voice came, and then she took off her helmet, revealing a mature and beautiful face, her expression seemed to be very tired, and she said slowly: "Why hasn't the Brotherhood's rescue come yet?" ”
"Our supplies won't last long."
The man at the front also took off his helmet, and he turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Pasha." Believe me. ”
"The distress signal must have been sent."
"The supplies can last another week, there is an abandoned aircraft carrier nearby, I will take someone over in two days to have a look, maybe I can find some resources."
A dilapidated building appeared in front of me.
When the group returned here, they immediately heard the screams of pain coming from inside, Leon's face changed almost instantly, and he rushed in directly and reached out to hold down a man who looked like crazy, and shouted: "Bernie, calm down! ”
"Ignore those weird voices!"
"Look at me."
"Concentrate!"
In the dilapidated house, a burly man was looking pained, and he was holding his neck, his whole face flushed, and his mind seemed to be in disarray.
"He's been tainted by that."
Pasha watched all this silently, then pulled out the pistol on her waist and said slowly, "Let's give him a good time." ”
Leon waved her pistol away, his eyes slightly reddened, glaring at Pasha next to him, before turning and knocking the anguished man unconscious.
"We're running out of supplies."
"He's hopeless." Another deep male voice came, and a burly man walked to the corner and fiddled with his firearm, and said slowly, "His final result must be the same as everyone else's." ”
"We can only survive if we get out of this hellish place."
There was a brief dead silence.
The man who had just been knocked unconscious by Leon suddenly opened his eyes again, his entire pupils were glowing with a trace of blood, his expression was a little distorted and hideous, and there were a large number of cyan veins on his face, like a living ghoul he had seen before, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Leon's head.
Bang.
A gunshot rang out.
Leon slowly lowered his pistol, remained silent, and turned into one of the rooms.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a venting sound of smashing in the room.
Pasha watched all this quietly, and then pushed the door and entered another room, which contained seven or eight exoskeleton power armors, but the parts of the nuclear fusion battery were removed, and there were some mottled blood stains in the corners of the room, which had not been cleaned for a long time.
"I must live."
"Sakura is still waiting for me to go back! …… I have to get out alive! ......" Pasha's expression seemed to be in pain, and she covered her head and muttered.
A tiny blue vein appeared under her neck, and Pasha turned around and took out a needle, inserted it directly into her neck, and after about five or six minutes, her expression gradually calmed down.
The heavy exoskeleton power armor was removed, and Pasha sat down on the edge of the bed a little tiredly, reaching for a heart-shaped pendant.
Inside is a photo of Su Ying, who is much younger, probably taken when she was seven or eight years old.
The little girl smiled brightly, like a little angel descending into the world.
Pasha looked at the photo for a moment, then got up and took off the combat uniform on her body, a pair of white bionic arms were exposed, different from those rough mechanical prosthetics, Pasha's gradually revealed body is almost exactly the same as a normal human, even the knuckles of the fingers look almost the same, but under the flesh-colored bionic skin, all the bones have been replaced with extremely hard alloys.
Of the sixty or seventy people in the entire team, only five have survived so far, and almost all of them have undergone some degree of bionic transformation.
Everyone else is dead.
