Chapter 41 is very important
Looking at the electric car that stopped after hitting the nuclear-powered truck, Cheng Bin, who was already feeling a little bored, immediately stopped sleepy. This was, of course, not because he saw someone die, but because he saw the window glass of the car that had been pierced by the bullet and thus judged the direction in which the bullet was flying.
To Cheng Bin's surprise, this sniper with good marksmanship was not hiding in the direction he thought was the most probable, but was far from his current position. If he is in the direction of nine o'clock in the truck, then this sniper is in the direction of eleven o'clock in the truck, and there is a not very high mountain between the two, the forest on the mountain is sparse, and there is a lack of concealment conditions, so Cheng Bin will choose the grass under the hillside, and the sniper has a similar idea, but he chooses the other side.
Fortunately, he chose the other side, otherwise, the two sides would have fought first.
Although the mercenary who robbed the car and escaped did not do anything nutritious before his death, he did a good deed after his death, and after the car that failed to climb the roadbed slid down, it just hit the door of the truck, partially blocking the sniper's view.
Although the exit of the truck could still be blocked well from Cheng Bin's position, it was obvious that Cheng Bin was not interested in this opportunity, so he glanced at the top of the mountain beside him and whispered, "Let's go." β
Rebecca was obviously quite energetic, holding Cheng Bin's binoculars and waiting to see how the people in the truck died, and then asked suspiciously, "Why?" β
"There's nothing to see anymore." Cheng Bin said: "Let's go." β
Rebecca stood up with him for some reason, and the two of them packed up their things, trotted back to the SUV, drove the SUV hidden in the shallow ditch, stepped on the accelerator and left.
When Cheng Bin started the car, on the other side of the hillside, a man in a gilly suit and holding a sniper rifle lying in the grass was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the top of the mountain.
Beside him was a man who was also dressed in a gilly suit, but with the difference that this man was holding an assault rifle in his hand.
The man with the assault rifle also heard the faint sound of a car engine, and he stood up with one hand and said to the sniper, "I'll take a look." β
The sniper hummed and returned his eyes to the sniper scope, just in time to see a man jump out of the truck.
He didn't shoot, watched the man hide behind the car, and said, "Be careful." β
His companion agreed, bent down and ran towards the top of the hill with his gun in hand, and soon the man's voice came over the radio, "Andrey, someone has run." The car looks like it's from Oaktown. He asked, "Do you want to chase it?" β
"They still have a secret sentry?" Andre said suspiciously, glancing at the team that was about to be annihilated by himself in his heart, and did not think that this might be another group of people. After all, on the radio just now, the companion had confirmed that the car that ran away was from Oak Town.
Although the way to escape on his own after his companion fell into a dead place was a little instigated, considering the identity of the other party's mercenary, he didn't think there was any problem. Righteousness is not a quality that mercenaries admire.
If Cheng Bin was here, he would have discovered that the people who hunted the Lancastos mercenaries were the two Revenants he had seen in the Maple Town pub - Andre and Daniz.
AndrΓ© asked, "Are you sure you're from Oak Town?" β
"How can I be sure of such a thing?" Daniz said dissatisfiedly, "Do you want me to catch up and ask?" β
"Forget it." Andrei said: "It's good if someone goes back to report the news, hurry up and finish this matter, I'm a little hungry." β
As he spoke, he put down the sniper rifle in his hand, took off his gilly suit, put the backpack disguised as a big lump of weeds on his back, and said on the radio: "Cover me." β
When Andre launched the final blow, Cheng Bin had already driven the off-road vehicle away from the battlefield.
It turned out that he was indeed very familiar with the terrain in this area, and without any detours, he drove the car to the side of a river beach, which was full of large and small stones, the large ones could be hollowed out as houses, and the small ones could be grabbed by hand. What they all have in common is that they have smooth edges, few edges and corners, and it is obvious that they have been washed by running water for a long time.
Cheng Bin parked the buggy next to a boulder, formed an angle with the rock, blocking the possible direction of the attack, and then collected dead grass and bushes to start a fire between the buggy and the boulder.
He lit a fire not to keep warm, but to boil water, and he had a lunch box in his backpack that could fit together, and he used this thing to cook a pot of hot soup before starting to boil water again.
"It's better to boil the water in the wasteland before drinking." Cheng Bin squatted next to the fire, adjusting the position of the lunch box, and said, "Otherwise, you have to count on your immune system to be strong enough." β
"Is it for sterilization?" Rebecca watched Cheng Bin do things curiously, and asked cautiously: "The book says that there are many bacteria and parasites on surface water and wild animals. β
Cheng Bin nodded in agreement, but he had other ideas in his heart. The background radiation on the wasteland is so strong that it even reaches the upper limit of the safe dose. In fact, he had already raised the threshold for radiation warnings on the soldier computer, otherwise the soldier computer would keep warning until the battery ran out.
Under this intensity of radiation, it is difficult for Cheng Bin to imagine that bacteria and parasites will not be affected, which is why he will always leave the wasteland from time to time and return to the town, I don't know if it is considered after cleaning or site selection, the location where the two cities and three towns are located is the place with the lowest radiation value in the entire wasteland.
Of course, this conclusion was deduced by Cheng Bin based on the current situation, and he has not traveled to the two cities and three towns, so he is not sure whether this conclusion is correct.
Unlike many literary works, in the context of high radiation, the ability of organisms to regulate themselves will be focused on improving their protective capabilities, rather than mutating into various inexplicable abilities. Cheng Bin had long heard of bacteria that feed on radioactive contaminants.
Obviously, this bacterium itself is not harmful to the human body, and if it is harmful, it is only the radiation accumulated in its body. Obviously, it's more important for these bacteria to add talent points to survivability rather than killing the host.
He returned to the car, grabbed two bags of dry food, handed them to Rebecca, and motioned for her to break up the compressed biscuits and soak them in the soup. Although there has always been a legend that the reason why compressed biscuits taste so bad is to prevent soldiers from eating them, in fact, compressed biscuits must reduce water as much as possible in order to be stored for a long time, and must have a lot of fat in order to provide enough calories.
The two of them silently began to prepare dinner, waiting for the biscuits to be soaked in water, Cheng Bin said, "Tell me about you." He said, "Why did you come here with Glois, and why would you rather be a revenant than go home?" β
"Trust me." He looked at Rebecca and said, "I want to hear the truth, it's important to you." β
