According to Coulomb, almost all cities of a certain size were the main targets of nuclear bomb attacks in the Great War, and even now, the concentration of nuclear radiation inside is high enough to kill mutants who stay there for too long.

And the harm of these radiation is secondary, and what is more dangerous is the mutated animals that live in the city, as far as the rats are concerned, the rats that appear around the settlement are simply docile and cute compared with the rats that have been living in the high-radiation city.

Although the overall danger is much smaller than those creatures in the sea. But that's only relatively. If entering the sea is the danger of a thousand bullets fired head-on, then these cities are at least a hundred. For an ordinary person, the results are not any different.

While Coulomb explained the danger of the city, a loud roar came from the direction of the city, and a skyscraper that could be seen even from a distance of four or five kilometers collapsed with this loud roar. A large creature flickered away in the smoke and dust from the collapse of the building.

Qiu Yu subconsciously calculated the size of the creature, but whether it was quoting the calculation results of the distance or the reference object, he felt ridiculous.

Seeing the shock and disbelief in Qiu Yu's eyes, Jack said habitually, "If the rumors are true, compared to those behemoths in the sea, that thing just now is just a small insect that can be trampled to death by them." And...... It's not that the bigger it is, the more powerful it is. ”

As if to interpret Jack's words, the creature that had collapsed the building had its screams faded away, like a dying man, and even the strength to roar had been rapidly drained.

Qiu Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead that was more than just now, "These outrageous things don't usually leave the city, do they?" ”

"Generally, no, but no one can say. Therefore, whether it is an organization or a settlement, it will try to choose a location away from the city. ”

Coulomb adds, "Even though they live far away from these big cities, many people take the initiative to venture into the city. There are a lot of good things left there besides food. ”

Qiu Yu understood that Coulomb's so-called good things were just ordinary tools of life that no one paid much attention to in the initial chaos. But now, these things have become treasures that attract people to risk their lives to find them......

Qiu Yu looked at the city from afar, "Do you think that if you have enough guns or even tanks, you can recover these cities?" ”

Jack thought for a moment, seemingly rummaging through his memory for what the so-called tank was, "I think I can, but what to do with recovering these cities?" ”

Qiu Yu was stunned when he was asked, and he just wanted to clear Jack's literacy in terms of the meaning of the city to humans, but Coulomb's words blocked everything Qiu Yu wanted to say.

"yes, what do you do? According to scientists, even if you have the complete technology before the war, you can't deal with those radiation, and instead of fighting those monsters to the death, and then grab a city that can't be used, it is better to build a new one. ”

A smile gradually appeared on Qiu Yu's face that was stiff due to the heat, "Oh...... Yes, your plan for the world is clear and unambiguous compared to my strange thoughts that are out of the way. ”

Jack Jue always felt that Qiu Yu's words were a little strange, and just as he was about to ask, a voice that made his hair stand on end came from Qiu Yu's hand.

"Can anyone hear me...... Can you hear ME...... Who hears that...... I didn't hear a word of promise......"

This was like dying, but the voice that couldn't die all of a sudden made Qiu Yu excited, "Qian Xiao!" How is the injury and how long will it last? ”

The voice paused for half a second, "Injury? What injuries? ”

Qiu Yu said into the communicator, "I'm not hurt, why are you making such a sound." ”

This time, Qian Xiao's voice paused for two seconds before coming again, "Master? Wow, I finally found you, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity to contact someone, I've been calling for dozens of hours in a row, you don't know how hard I've been, as soon as I came in, I saw a large group of people fighting, bullets flying around all over the sky, I finally ran away and saw cockroaches bigger than cats stealing my things, just beat away the cockroaches and a large group of hairless wolves, beat the wolves away, the sky suddenly got dark again, because I couldn't see, I lit a candle, and as a result, I fought with all kinds of monsters one after another for a night......"

"Wait, wait, wait." Qiu Yu interrupted Qian Xiao's complaint, "How did you light a candle all night?" ”

"How can a candle be lit in one night, I lit a dozen of them. There are so many monsters coming to trouble me, I can't fight them in the dark. ”

“…… You're a guy with an IQ that fluctuates between zero and two hundred...... You really didn't think about why those monsters came to you one after another? ”

This time, Qian Xiao's voice stopped for ten seconds, "Ahahahahaha, how could I be so stupid, I didn't think they were attracted by candles." I saw that it was rare for someone to be willing to accompany me to practice, so I deliberately brought them here......"

"The lie you are telling now is infinitely tending to zero IQ ......"

Qiu Yu and Qian Xiao showed each other's joy of connecting with each other in a special way. Culomb and Jack on the side were dumbfounded.

One man fights off a pack of wolves, and then fights mutants all night...... This is definitely not something that humans can do, and the guy who can brag about this kind of bull doesn't think he can fool others. But it seems that Qiu Yu, who is talking, seems to fully believe in the truth of the matter.

Perhaps, the guy had dozens of camels' munitions - this was the only answer that the two of them could think of in a daze, and as for the defense problem, it was no longer something they could continue to think about.

"Okay, where are you now?" After chatting with Qian Xiao, Qiu Yu turned to the main issue.

"I don't know." Qian Xiao's voice also became serious, "It looks the same everywhere, but I can see a city in front of me, so I'll go in and ask someone." ”

“…… There's no one in there, so why don't you ask somewhere else...... Forget it, don't look for people everywhere, I'll scan the map for you. ”

Considering that he had just received Qian Xiao's signal, the distance between him and Qian Xiao should be exactly 120 kilometers now, and Qiu Yu planned to send him a few pages of maps of the vicinity through the communicator.

But Qian Xiao shouted, "Map? I also have it, but I don't understand it. ”

"Looking for references or markers, don't you have a city in front of you? Look at what that city is called, but don't get too close. In addition, I am afraid that the normal map of the United States is not so easy to use, and this is the map I have in my hand, which is suitable for the present, and there are safe places on it that you can find so that you don't have to play games with animals at night. ”

"My map is the same, I'll take a look, there is a No. 14 settlement nearby, and there is a No. 16 a little farther away."

“…… Where did you get that map? No, it doesn't matter where you came from, anyway, once you've got your way, head to Colony 16, where we'll meet. Qiu Yu pressed his head in a broken heart, "Apart from me, have you contacted anyone else?" ”

"No, let alone contacting other people, except for the two waves of people who were fighting when I came in, I haven't seen what people look like."

Qiu Yu was about to end the call, "yes, then that's it for now." ”

"Don't." Qian Xiao hurriedly shouted, "It's rare for someone to chat, how boring it is for me to walk alone." ”

"If you have the ability to speak, you might as well hurry up and meet at Settlement 16." Qiu Yu paused and added, "If you arrive after me, I won't necessarily wait for you." ”

"No, no, no, well, I'll get ahead of you." Qian Xiao took the initiative to end the call.

Qiu Yu sighed, looked at the two people who were discussing whether they were using a mobile phone or a phone, and said, "Let's speed up a little faster......

------------

At all times, human nature always feels like they are above other animals. And as long as there is some slight ability, human beings will always find ways to prove it.

Roads have not been around for as long as humans would have predicted in various post-apocalyptic novels and movies, except for a few areas occupied by some animals that do not like environmental modification. Most of the roads have been thoroughly mixed with yellow sand and dirt.

However, in front of Qiu Yu and the three of them, there was a straight road, although the road surface was neither cement nor asphalt, but paved with pieces of gravel higher than the others, and fine sand to fill the gaps.

Perhaps due to limited manpower, this three-meter-wide improvised road was not paved far, and at the farthest point of the road, you can clearly see the gate welded with various metal strips at the other end.

On both sides of the gate are walls nearly three meters high made of stones, and from Akiha's position, this wall extends to the end of the field of vision, and it should be completely enclosed except for the gate, so the gate is the only entrance and exit here. But neither the fence nor the perimeter of the gate was nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Yu glanced at Jack suspiciously, the latter's expression was a little nervous, but at least he noticed Qiu Yu's inquiring eyes, "This was a small city before the war, and now there are not so many people who come to fill this place, so most of the space is used for defense. The outer wall is the first line of defense, and there is an identical wall after entering, and only after passing through is the settlement built on the foundation of the city is located. ”

"It's a big ...... project."

Qiu Yu's sigh is from the heart, that is, on the normal earth, it is not an easy project to build a wall to surround the city, let alone now when there are no engineering machines.
