Chapter 113: Journey 8
Qiu Yu didn't know how many bullets could be loaded in a magazine of the world's largest assault rifle, and it was impossible for a woman to know how many bullets this futuristic assault rifle had. **Soak! Book. But she didn't seem to be worried about that at all, and in the face of the angry beast that was already less than two meters away from her, she smiled with a cacophony like insects gnawing at the planks as she shot and broke the beast's right leg.
The beastly mutant who has lost his center of gravity and falls can reach the woman and tear her to pieces. Thinking like this, the beast mutant stretched out his arm towards the woman, but the movement did not make him feel like he was holding something, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted - his arm was gone.
Relying on the only remaining left foot to kick on the ground, in this way, it can quickly reach the woman, even if it is bitten with teeth, it is enough to kill her.
But once again, the mutant beast failed to do so, and the woman just laughed and took a few steps back, which counteracted his hard crawling.
A few more bullets whizzed, and the left leg, the only hope for revenge, left the mangled body in a splatter of flesh.
Roar -
Roaring is already the last thing bestial mutants can do.
The woman's smile grew more and more exaggerated, and the muzzle of the gun turned to find the part of the beast mutant that could still entertain herself.
"That's enough."
The two words that Qiu Yu spat out lightly made the woman's laughter stop abruptly.
"Kill him."
The woman seemed to have just been freed from a strange state of mind control, and was controlled by another stronger mind, and immediately obeyed Qiu Yu's order. After a few shots, the beastly mutant's suffering finally came to an end.
"I just ...... It seems to be a little out of control, maybe too nervous, and unconsciously overlap him with the beast mutant who killed my companion before, I'm not the kind of person who takes pleasure in killing. ”
The woman explained in a panic that it was necessary to give Qiu Yu a reasonable explanation, whether it was due to the disgusting state just now, or the waste of too many precious bullets.
Qiu Yu walked over expressionlessly, grabbed the assault rifle from her subconsciously clenched it, and immediately relaxed her hand, "Is this really the case?" ”
The woman opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound, and Qiu Yu didn't expect her answer, and after taking the gun, she walked towards Cullen, who was picked up by Jack.
"How?"
Outwardly, Coulomb did not have any external injuries.
"I have unloaded a lot of strength when I rolled on the ground just now, and it is estimated that two bones were broken, and there are no other major problems."
Coulomb helped Jack to his feet, he didn't want people to feel like a burden because of his current injuries, and in this day and age, burden is often synonymous with abandonment.
Qiu Yu turned around and rummaged through the big bag for a while, then took out two capsules and handed them to Culomb, "This will make your problem smaller." ”
Knowing that Qiu Yu had all the good things in his hand, Coulomb chewed and swallowed the capsule directly.
After a few seconds, Coulomb gently patted his chest, "Oh, it's so much better." ”
Qiu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, even the effect of the elixir was not so fast, and Culomb said this in the hope that he would not think too seriously about his injury.
"Okay, let's go get paid."
Qiu Yu looked at the woman who was still in a daze, and the latter immediately moved quickly like a mouse being targeted by a cat. He took a few steps towards the RV, then retreated in a panic, and retrieved the bent iron rod from the severed hand of the beast mutant before running back to the RV.
The corners of Qiu Yu's mouth tugged upwards as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh, "It seems that she doesn't want us to go over." ”
Jack shook his head, "That woman is too dangerous, if she doesn't want us to come over, we'd better stay here and wait for her to bring something over." ”
"Hmph, look at that method, it's worthy of being a vagrant." Culomb bared his teeth and said, "Killing people can be so pleasant." ”
"It's not her who is in danger, it's what is in her body......" Seeing that both of them were staring at him closely, Qiu Yu took a deep breath of air that made his lungs burn, "Do you think that vagrants are murderous and are no longer normal human beings?" ”
Jack said disdainfully, "It's not for them to ask for it, they don't want to join the colony or the organization. Wandering around, what other way can you support yourself than to kill and rob? ”
"It seems that even your scientists are not omnipotent. It's not that the homeless people don't want to join the settlement because they like to kill everywhere, but because they can't join the settlement, all they can do is kill people everywhere. ”
"What do you mean?"
Just when the two were expecting Qiu Yu to answer this question that completely detonated their curiosity, Qiu Yu turned his head in the direction of the RV, where the woman who was afraid that a few people were waiting for him was running over quickly.
"Here you go."
After the woman handed Qiu Yu a book, she pulled the shopping cart over and put the things she had said before in front of several people, "The bullets in this shotgun are full, and the things on the map are recorded by people who can write, and I can't read them." So...... Thank you very much for your help, it's quite disgusting in the RV right now, so I won't invite you in to rest...... If nothing else......"
"Okay, that's all for our employment relationship, I hope you have a good time." After Qiu Yu nodded to the woman's gentleman, he didn't look at her again.
Getting the desired result, the woman pulled up the shopping cart and ran towards the RV without looking back.
Looking at the woman's fleeing back, Jack always felt that there was something wrong, but he had more questions to know than this little doubt, "What did you mean when you said that homeless people can't join the settlement?" ”
Qiu Yu flipped through the book with hundreds of pages in his hand, this is the map that the woman is talking about, to be precise, it is a travel manual for American roads, in addition to the printed font, there are also various pen circles pointed out the location and line of notes, these contents include the activity location of various mutant animals, weaknesses, preferences, strength, edible and other simple instructions, as well as the number of people in various settlements and organizations, specialties, technical abilities, and some quite interesting explanations. This thing far exceeded Qiu Yu's previous expectations, and after turning a few pages in a fascination, he continued to flip while answering Jack's question.
"I don't know how you can make a distinction between mutants and non-mutants in an age where everyone is mutating. But I think you only pay attention to the visible variations on the outside, or the visible effects, and ignore the more recessive variations, and perhaps, the people who have this part of the variation don't even notice it. ”
Qiu Yu finally found the place marked with Bel Gangdo, which was the original map introduction, suitable for leisure and supply of beautiful seaside towns, but the handwritten part read, "This is a fucking human trafficking organization, I almost fell into their hands just by getting closer, it's dangerous, don't hang around here." Additional: If you're too hungry to find anything to fill your stomach, it's a good idea to go here, at least when they see the nomads moving the ropes before the guns. ”
Qiu Yu continued to flip back, "That woman, if she doesn't say it herself, you shouldn't be able to see any difference between her and the people in ordinary settlements. ”
Jack, who was waiting for madness, was afraid that he would be left out of the day if he answered slowly, so he gave the answer without thinking, "The difference between the homeless and us is in behavior, of course there is no difference in appearance." ”
"Yes, they are the same as you on the outside, the biggest difference is on the inside. From her saying that the nomads in their team can't grow because they don't kill people, I was thinking that this is too illogical, does it seem to them that nomads have to kill people to be considered vagrants? Historically, human beings have always killed each other only as a process rather than an end, so why did the nomads who used killing as a measure in this era appeared? ”
Jack and Coulomb said at the same time, "Why? ”
Qiu Yu sighed and began to miss the fat man who could see through at one point. "Because their thinking or brain may have been affected by radiation, and there is some kind of mutation, maybe it is the person in charge of hallucination, or there is something wrong with the rational part. So their killing, unreasonable, is a mutation that makes them unable to control their behavior. ”
"If these people stay in a settlement or some organization and suddenly kill someone because they can't control themselves, others don't care whether they are intentional or unintentional, and most of them will kill them first. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of others and their own lives at the same time, homeless people can only wander outside. And the team of nomads that the woman once joined was mostly a group of people who realized that they had a problem, but were still within the control range, and they could barely get together with each other. The nomads who had completely lost control of themselves were too dangerous compared to them, the same reason they did not dare to stay in the settlement, and the nomads with more cerebral mutations did not dare to join the ranks of those who did not yet understand themselves. Just like a lightly injured person, a seriously injured person, and a dying person, there is a place where they are most suitable to stay. ”
"You already knew that, but ......," Jack looked at the caravan and seemed to be a man-eating beast that could pop out at any moment, "but if you had known, you wouldn't have walked with her." ”
"Hmm...... That's what I just found out......"
"But ......"
"After a little analysis, it's very simple."
"......"
"Yes, I just gave her the gun and I just wanted to see if it was as I analyzed."
"No ......"
"Of course I wouldn't take such a big risk just to be sure of an answer, I gave her the gun, I couldn't do it at all."
Jack, "...... Why do you know what I want to say every time? ”
Qiu Yu raised his head from the map in front of him, and then pointed to a place circled by a red pen and said to Jie, "Settlement No. 16, with a population of about 3,000 and an unknown armed force, as long as you can pay a certain amount of things, even if you don't join them, you can get temporary residency...... Is this where we're going? ”
