Chapter 166: Ruined Town
"Zhong, what's going on with you? The caravans were surrounded by living creatures. ”
"Lei, the chassis of the military car is much higher than yours, nothing major has happened for the time being, what is the thing surrounding your car?"
"It's like a rat, oh my God, they're gnawing on tires."
"Don't worry, if they don't mutate very badly, the migration vehicles use modern technology synthetic metal tires, and ordinary animals can't bite them. Clean, prepare bioweapons. ”
"Bell, it's ready. I'm just waiting for your orders. Oops, they ran past the antique cars. Jie said anxiously.
"Iron legs, water, how are you there? A bunch of rats have already run to you, watch the tires. ”
"Zhong, a group of hard-shelled insects just came here, and they were thinking about using poison gas, and the rats are coming, please use weapons."
"Yes, you two vehicles cooperate with each other, I call the relocation vehicle fire support. Save ammo! ”
Zhong calmly gave the order, and Rose used the infrared telescope to observe the surroundings of the military vehicle, and the light machine gun on her shoulder monitored the surroundings of the military vehicle, ready to burst out of the monsters that climbed out of the round lid and walked upright at any time.
"Rose, do you see what the creature is?"
"I saw it but I didn't know what it was. He is about a meter tall, has long upper limbs, sharp nails, and stands and crawls quickly. It should have evolved a certain amount of intelligence, and it came directly to our car, and the distance..."
"Thirty-two meters away... Twenty-nine meters... Twenty meters..."Before Rose finished speaking, the fruit and the flower accurately calculated the distance and reported it at any time.
"Rose, you're coming." After a brief four words, Zhong picked up the rifle placed beside him, and opened the window with electricity, and shot at the same time. Rose jumped from the back to the front and grabbed the steering wheel while watching outside.
The sudden sound of machine guns and the burst of rifle fire, and the upright walking creatures that rushed to the front of the car about ten meters fell in large numbers. The one behind was frightened, retreated step by step, and finally returned to the round lid to confront the people in the car, Zhong Hedian also stopped shooting, and said what he thought about it, and dozens of bullets suddenly protruded in a few seconds, which was very heart-wrenching. This can be a baby with one less.
The alarm on the side of the military vehicle has been lifted, and the two antique cars are fighting there. Because the distance was too close to use firepower, both cars used poison guns and ***, and the relocation vehicles were a little farther away to use firepower, and five or six pistols fired biological bullets into the middle of the rats. Immediately, the smell of corrosion rose. Then replace it with bullets that explode in a small area, and the rats that exploded directly were holding their heads and running away. The four cars were littered with corpses, miserable and desolate in the moonlight.
"It's fun to fight, but you can't have fun with limited ammunition."
"Iron Legs, how much ammo did you use?" Water asked.
"Knowing that you can't waste your ammunition, you only used a third of what you prepared, what about you?"
"A little over a quarter. They didn't shoot out in vain, and hundreds of them died. Ray, there's nothing going on with the relocation car, right? ”
"No, if there is a situation and the energy to support you, modern metal tires are good, and your soft-pedal tires are delicious and not strong." Ray said jokingly.
At this time, the upright crawling two-in-one creature standing at the round lid quickly retreated, and the round lid was closed, and the road was flat with ruins and dust.
"Zhong, this is the old pipeline, right? It's too backward, and it can also hide all kinds of hidden dangers. ”
"yes, that's how it was back then, but what is the mutation of the upright crawling two-in-one?"
"Didn't you think they were mutated?"
"Rose, you dare to think too much, how can you be human." Denki laughed as he checked his weapon.
"What do you see, Zhong?"
"I don't rule out one ten-thousandth of your imagination, I feel like they're primates."
"Is it because they can walk upright?"
"Not exactly, there are more waters, more beaches, and a small town like this, and the buildings in the town are almost the same, so I guess this should be a tourist attraction, these buildings should be hotels, hotels, resorts... It is also possible that there are animals for visitors to visit. A few hundred years ago, when all kinds of disasters on the earth continued, all walks of life were in a recession, and it was almost a permissive end, and the animals here either starved to death or were eaten. Those who survived were catching up with the biggest disaster, and later the area was classified as no man's land, so the surviving creatures struggled to thrive. ”
"Zhong, it's possible that you speculated, and tomorrow we will take a look at the field, and it is very likely that we will find the basis for your speculation."
From exhausting to thrilling ends, the sky has already dawned. The sun poured down on the thick dust of the ruins, giving a faint yellow glow. The place where the fierce battle last night was full of corpses of various small creatures, the largest being the kind of two-in-one. It was dawn now, and the people stepped out of their cars with weapons in hand, leaving the guards to start at any moment. Part of it overhauls the car, part of it cleans up the battlefield. The most important thing is to see what creatures are still alive in the ruins.
"There's a lot of corroded metal here, and even the dust is shiny."
"The building is almost intact, and all that's corroded here is pure metal."
"Greenhouses, where flowers are cultivated?"
"The animal display area, apart from the glass is the metal shelf?"
"Al fresco dining area...", everyone speculated. Either one is possible, and nothing can be found except dust and the metal particles in the dust, everything is imaginary speculation.
"Hey, I remember killing several of them last night, what about the corpses?"
"It's really a sapient creature who knows how to take away the corpses of his companions and bury them."
"I guess they're dragged back and eaten, right?"
"I agree with this point of view, in this no-man's land, what have they survived on for more than 100 years, except for killing and encroaching on each other."
"The same kind eats the same kind, no matter how you think about it, it's incredible."
"There's no need to fuss about anything in no man's land, things here are incomprehensible to humans."
Finally, a body that had not been brought and dragged in was found in a round lid. During the day, I can see it more clearly, with hair all over my body, but they are all tangled together, and it looks like I have pimples and sarcomas all over my body. The arms are very long, which is very suitable for the characteristics of four-legged crawling. As for how to walk upright steadily, it can only be speculated that it has evolved over the years.
"It's not like it's mutated, why should you provoke us, otherwise you won't be killed."
"You say you're monkeys or some other animal, whether you were once taught, or if you're wild, where did you come from? Alas! You can't hear that. ”
"It's so long-winded, even if you can hear it, it won't answer you. You really think that they can stand up and walk, and they are intelligent creatures. Forget it, let's leave it for the same kind as rations, it's not easy to live. ”
A few people were talking, and there was movement under the round lid, which was a sigh. I was at the end of the conversation, so I heard it clearly. A few people, you look at me, I see you are a little confused. In the end, they all jumped away.
"Voices under the lid!"
"Can you really understand people?"
"Let's take a look, maybe we can talk."
"Idle! There's a lot of serious business. ”
"That is, no man's land is their domain, and humans can't expand here for the time being, and it's a last resort for us to come, so let's give them a peace."
No one mentioned this anymore, and my mood was a little heavy. The town is really not big, and everyone walked around together.
"Well, it's really a tourist attraction, but unfortunately, there is nothing we need."
"What the hell, you expect to find something here. Eat, drink, use. ”
"Yes, it's been hundreds of years, do you dare to eat and drink? Or the creatures here will miss the next. Thankfully, there are no mutated creatures here, otherwise it would be a big problem. ”
In the afternoon, the convoy prepares to leave the town. Sugar Candy and the others set the course, and the four cars drove on the old highway that was slightly soft and scum. The car is a little faulty, and it sounds like a feeling of fatigue and discomfort.
"Zhong, next time it's time to overhaul or replace parts." Rose is not in a good mood to say.
"Yes, there is a shortage of spare parts for the rush to escape, and I can't tell when the car will be lying down. It's best to find the ruins of a big city, and those modern metal materials are always usable. ”
"There aren't many places like this, and the town we just passed through is not too old, and the metal has turned into slag."
"Strictly speaking, the town is already the boundary between old and new technology, and 100 years before the construction of the ring height, those things that are embellished with life are no longer capable of making great efforts. The earth has begun to decay, wars have resumed, natural and man-made disasters and plagues have broken out, and mankind has begun to reflect on and save. More energy and manpower to get closer to the serious things. Curb war, research medicine, increase productivity, and develop to a higher level. ”
"Yes, the initial starting point may be for the interests of a small area, and then gradually unified the thinking, and the ring height idea appeared in the prototype. Later, it was hard work, hard start, and finally built the ring high and completed the feat of science and technology. For hundreds of years, the earth was preserved, and human beings thrived in difficult situations. ”
"We will finish the history of mankind in a few sentences, and the hesitation, wandering, struggle, and stride in it are not cold memories in the video materials. It was the hard work of generations, the death and the courage to give. In any case, it is the sum of life. ”
"Alas! What a heavy topic, master, there is a sonic reflection in front, we deduce that it is a high mountain or a large body of water. Guoguo said suddenly.
"Bell, Sugar Candy They have a high mountain in front of them, about ten kilometers away. Are we going around it? Ray came from the car.
"Lei Lao, a few of them don't have a network to rely on, but six blueprint independent networks are superimposed, and the error is too big, and now it's too late to bypass."
"Even a detour is just a circle along the foot of the mountain, where the network interference with them increases, and our direction has to be recalibrated." Rose said truthfully.
"Master Wei, the situation is exactly what you said, we suggested climbing the mountain. At a high place, maybe we can connect with the big network and play a better role. ”
"Zhong, walking on the winding mountain road is quite a test for our cars. Will it work? ”
"We don't know how big the no-man's land is, but our supplies are limited, and we can't delay time here for a long time. Climbing the mountain is the best way to save time. Zhong said that in fact, this is also something that everyone is worried about. Food is getting scarcer, and it is a waste of life to constantly change directions and delay time.
"Check the weapons and equipment, let's go into the mountains!"
