Chapter 101: What a terrifying beast!
"The guards inside the vault... When did you want to go to the wasteland? Zhao Xiaochuan looked at the guards behind him with some curiosity, slightly curious.
You know, although the guards in these shelters are really good in combat, well-equipped, and even equipped with guns, they rarely leave the shelter on their own initiative, let alone leave the town to go to the wasteland.
Unless there is a disaster of the level of the beast tide and the guards will come out to resist the fierce beasts, they will generally only live in the shelter, and even the security of the town is left to the town's guards to maintain.
Before, Zhao Xiaochuan didn't quite understand why this group of people would rather squeeze into a "small" shelter than come out, but after some investigation, Zhao Xiaochuan knew that if he could live in such a huge underground shelter, even he might not be happy.
"So what is the purpose of the guards who want to live in the shelter for the rest of their lives?" The guards were getting closer and closer to Zhao Xiaochuan, and Zhao Xiaochuan was observing them more and more carefully.
"This person who is the leader of the team is dressed like that Chen Tianqi, could it be that he is the captain of the guard team of the same level as him? By the way, I remember Chen Tianqi saying that he seems to be the deputy captain, and this person's uniform is even more gorgeous than Chen Tianqi's, could it be that he is the captain of the guards? And the person next to him..."Compared to this person who may be the captain of the guard, the person next to him can attract Zhao Xiaochuan's attention even more.
"This man is covered in ... He seems to be powerless, but he is full of a peculiar temperament, and he seems to be full of confidence, and these guards even seem to be protecting him. And the age doesn't look too young, it is estimated that there must be one about forty years old, but it is very well maintained, not like an ordinary person. ”
You must know that in this era, forty years old is already considered an advanced age, and many civilians already look like a little old man when they live to be forty years old, but although this person seems to be powerless, he looks very energetic, and there is actually a team of guards to protect him, and his identity is definitely not simple.
And this person actually seemed to be arguing with the captain of the guard who took the lead, and he didn't show any weakness.
"What is the origin of this man? Scout bugs, get a little closer, and hear what they're saying? ”
The speed of the guard team was not fast, and Zhao Xiaochuan slowly slowed down his pace, so as not to get too far away from the guard team behind him, and a scout bug also quietly flew into the vicinity of the guard team, and began to listen to Zhao Xiaochuan what the two were arguing about.
"Mr. Zou, it's just a hunted wolf pack, not necessarily a D-class beast, you don't have to worry too much."
"Wild wolf??" Zhao Xiaochuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" ”
Yang Cheng's face was helpless, and along the way, his mouth was almost dry, so he finally persuaded Mr. Zou to come back.
In addition to the fact that he wanted to return to the shelter as soon as possible and report to the commander what he had learned from Mr. Zou, another extremely important reason was that they did not carry much fresh water and food, and had to return to the shelter for resupply.
However, Mr. Zou still frowned, and his face was worried: "Captain Yang, I suggest that we return to that area immediately after we finish replenishing food and fresh water resources. That's a whole pack of wild wolves, although the combat effectiveness of a single one is not too strong, but judging from the traces and bloodstains left at the battle scene, there are at least a dozen wild wolves, and only four or five escaped, but there is not a single corpse of a wild wolf left in the entire scene, what does this mean!? ”
"Description... What the? Yang Cheng looked confused, not knowing why.
And Zhao Xiaochuan, who was eavesdropping on the side with the detection bug, became more and more strange.
"It shows that this fierce beast that hunts wild wolves is not only extremely ferocious, but also very large in size, and almost the entire wild wolf pack has been swallowed into his stomach!!" Mr. Zou was worried: "A fierce beast with such a huge appetite must be of a very high level. And the most strange thing for me is that, logically speaking, it is impossible for such a large beast not to leave footprints at the battle scene, but I have not found the footprints of other fierce beasts except wild wolves, which is simply incredible! ”
"And!" Mr. Zou didn't finish speaking, he paused and continued: "And I found a boulder at the scene, and found that it was cut into three pieces by a very sharp blade, which shows that this fierce beast has very sharp and tough claws!" It's terrifying! ”
Zhao Xiaochuan: "......."
Yang Cheng: "........"
What is this?
The wolf was eaten by a giant beast with no footprints and sharp claws?
Zhao Xiaochuan never dreamed that someone would go to the scene where he hunted wild wolves before, and then came to such a conclusion.
"So, this beast, we must find out, otherwise it will add too many uncertainties to the trial! That's a terrifying beast! Mr. Zou's tone was firm, as if he had already made up his mind in his heart.
"Trial!?" Hearing the word trial, Zhao Xiaochuan was suddenly stunned, originally just to watch the excitement, but now he can't help but start paying more attention: "This Mr. Zou is related to the trial?" Protected by so many guards, could it be that he was from Vault 77? But... Why did number 77 send such a weak chicken man over? ”
Although Zhao Xiaochuan has heard a lot of things about the outside world from his father since he was a child, he has also been a little inclined to the supremacy of force since he was a child, and he will not think for a while that this person whose combat power is like a weak chicken in his eyes is the legendary "scholar".
"Mr. Zou, you also said that this fierce beast did not leave any traces, how can this be investigated?" And Yang Cheng was really scared by Mr. Zou, no matter what slightly strange things happened along the way, he had to go and investigate carefully.
This caused Yang Cheng and his guards to be tired and miserable.
"You guards, stay in the shelter all day, so naturally you don't know." Mr. Zou snorted coldly: "But in every town, there are large-scale hunting teams, they live in the wilderness all year round, and they must know more things than you. But why haven't I seen a hunting party along the way? Where have they gone? ”
"It's... I don't know. When Yang Cheng heard this, he suddenly had some doubts in his heart, and looked around a few times.
It stands to reason that even if you can't meet a hunting team in the wasteland, there is still a high chance of encountering a hunting team near the town.
Especially in the evening when the sky has gradually darkened, there will definitely be hunting teams returning from hunting on the wasteland, but today they have all walked to the entrance of the town, but they have not encountered a hunting team, which is indeed a bit strange.
"Huh? Mr. Zou, you see, at the entrance of the town in front, there seems to be a person dressed as a hunter. Yang Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly: "The person in front, looking at your outfit, you should be a hunter, right?" Why are you alone here, and the rest of your team? What about the other hunting squads? ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Xiaochuan, who was about to hear more information, was slightly stunned, looked at Yang Cheng who was shouting at him, and instantly turned even more strange, and stretched out his hand to point at himself tentatively: "Are you asking me?" ”
"Huh? Young man, you're right here, are you a hunter in town? And Mr. Zou rarely reached a consensus with Yang Cheng, and asked with a kind face: "Do you have time?" There's something I'd like to ask you. ”
Zhao Xiaochuan: "......."
Don't ask, the wolves are all eaten by me!
