Chapter 29: Encounter with a Professional Hunter
I heard that the taste of sandworms is good, Zhang Le is a little pity. Less than three hundred meters away from the group, Zhang Le was attacked by a sea mussel again. The attack method of the sea mussel is to open the shell of the mussel and spray out an extremely fast waterline, there was originally the sound of waves on the seaside, this wave of attack was silently hidden in the sound of the waves, and even Zhang Le was hit. Zhang Le's double-layered leather pants were broken by the waterline, leaving a red dot on his calf. Zhang Le's body is fully genetically strengthened, and his defense is very strong, and ordinary people can only leave a blank mark with a single slash, which shows the strength of this waterline. If you change to an ordinary person or a small animal, I am afraid that you will lose your ability to move immediately.
The attack of the sea mussel also exposed himself to Xingzang. Zhang Le quickly moved behind the sea mussel and pulled out the sea mussel with half of its body embedded in the sand. The sea mussel is one and a half meters in size, and it is estimated that it weighs more than 60 catties. Often listening to Ouyang Ji and Zhao Fei introduce a little professional knowledge, Zhang Le knew that this sea mussel should belong to a benign mutation, and the taste would not be bad, so he simply carried this sea mussel to his shoulder.
Zhang Le discovered a rule, it seems that the closer to the equator, the more powerful the mutated creatures. The mutant creatures I encountered earlier were very strange-looking, but they were rarely threatening, except for the giant octopus and the monitor lizard on the island, and the small mutated creatures I encountered now became very powerful.
Speaking of which, the terrifying group of cancers seems to be from creatures close to the equator. Zhang Le thought about it with his limited knowledge of biological evolution, probably because the closer to the tropics, the more active the mutation.
When there were still two hundred meters away from this group of people, this group of people found Zhang Le's traces, which was also because Zhang Le did not hide his footsteps. The campfires are located more than a hundred meters from the coast.
โAnybody there?โ
In each of the three groups, a few people came out. A bearded white man first shouted loudly in English.
โYes๏ผfriends!โ Zhang Le also responded loudly in English.
When Zhang Le came to a distance of about thirty meters from everyone, he took the lead in speaking to a group of suspected Chinese: "Hey, brothers, I smelled crabs from afar, so I wanted to come over and rub some food, and I picked up a big crooked one on the way, or do you want to have a gang together?" โ
Neither the whites nor the blacks understood Chinese, nor did they know what Zhang Le was saying, and they both looked at these East Asians.
One of the stout of the two East Asians who stood up first said in English to a few white blacks, "It's a friend, it's all right." Then he turned his head and nodded to Zhang Le and smiled: "It turned out to be a fellow countryman, of course there is no problem, go, come and sit." โ
The three whites and two blacks stared with envy at the sea mussel that Zhang Le was carrying on his shoulder, but then saw Zhang Le and this group of Chinese hooking shoulders and being very familiar, so they had to shrug their shoulders and slowly return to their team. Zhang Le looked closely and found that the white and black people were normal people, but two of the Chinese were contaminated by Fu radiation, and their faces obviously had festering wounds.
The thick man's name is Shen Wei, a native of Shandong. Shen Wei gave Zhang Le his place, and then the few people sitting around the bonfire also randomly adjusted their positions.
Shen Wei first picked a roasted crab with a dagger and put it in front of Zhang Le, who quickly thanked him. At this moment, the sea mussel placed on the side suddenly opened its shell again, Zhang Le saw this, and quickly jumped up in fright, squatted down with one buttocks, and closed the half-opened mussel mouth.
Everyone was amused by Zhang Le's actions, and Zhang Le also smiled: "This guy can spray water, it's very dangerous, I'll kill it first, so I don't have peace of mind." After speaking, Zhang Le also showed everyone his calf wound.
Everyone's faces changed in unison, and most of their eyes looked at Shen Wei, who shook his head imperceptibly. Zhang Lezheng lowered his head and stuck his long dagger into the gap in the mouth of the mussel, not noticing everyone's eyes. In fact, Zhang Le was not afraid of what these people had to do, because according to Zhang Le's observations, these people were just some strong ordinary people.
Zhang Le quickly drew half a circle along the position of the mussel mouth with a dagger, and the mussel mouth, which had been tightly closed, was released, revealing the snow-white mussel meat inside.
A special seafood aroma spreads. Zhang Le directly cut a piece of mussel meat of about two catties and handed it to Shen Wei, saying, "Everyone has a little bit, I haven't eaten such a big crooked meat!" โ
Shen Wei took the mussel meat, laughed, and said, "Good thing, I have a blessing today, thank you, Brother Zhang!" Seeing that Shen Wei had already roasted the mussel meat, the others were no longer hypocritical, and stepped forward one after another and shouted, "Give me a piece too." "Several people didn't even roast it, they just put the mussel meat in their mouths and chewed it vigorously.
Zhang Le looked at Shen Wei and said puzzledly: "Isn't it easy to have diarrhea when you eat raw seafood?" Is everyone hungry, isn't there crabs? "Although the sea crabs roasted on the shelves are not big, they are still a little bigger than the famous Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.
Only then did Shen Wei understand that Zhang Le really didn't understand, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, just now Shen Wei thought that Zhang Le was a lone professional hunter.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, I forgot to ask you, what are you doing?" Li Jun saw that Zhang Le was very talkative, so he finally asked this question and did not answer Zhang Le's question.
"Me? Didn't do anything! It's just passing by, I saw a few of you fellow countrymen, just come over to say hello, if you have any ideas, I just want to ask what you do, how to mix with these two people? โ
Shen Wei thought that Zhang Le was joking, but when he saw Zhang Le's serious expression, he was also a little puzzled.
However, "he has short hands and a soft mouth", Shen Wei had no choice but to open his mouth first: "Angola knows, right?" After the nuclear war, the Chinese who stayed in Africa could not return to China, so they slowly gathered together. Because Angola has the largest number of Chinese, and slowly, Chinese from neighboring countries have also defected, so Angola is now the largest gathering area of Chinese on the African continent, with a population of about 200,000. Our brothers used to be peacekeepers of the United Nations peacekeeping force, but now that the United Nations is gone, we have naturally become armed with the Chinese forces in Angola. As for our identity, it's just an ordinary hunter team, the main task is to hunt mutated creatures and some thugs who slaughter humans indiscriminately, this time I took a mission, and teamed up with the armed forces of other forces to complete this task. โ
"Mission! Who posted it? Excuse me, you continued. Zhang Le was also a little confused, and he didn't choose what to say, because he hadn't spoken Chinese to anyone outside the Ice Dragon Base for a long time, he forgot his guard, and asked what he thought.
Shen Wei found out that Zhang Le was really a novice and didn't know anything, which made Shen Wei very suspicious of his identity. But Chinese is so magical, people who can speak standard Chinese and occasionally speak two local dialects, even if their identity is problematic, they can still be trusted. There was still a small amount of infighting between people of Chinese descent before the end of the world, but now, the same language and the same race are the most trustworthy basis.
"It's the tasks issued by the major forces, most of the tasks are to find mutated creatures, living biological samples, blood or tissues, the stronger and more special mutated creatures, the better." Shen Wei said, but he didn't say what task he was taking.
Zhang Le then asked, "What is the reward?" Zhang Le is very curious about this question, everyone is here to survive in the last days, like these hunters, they are all relatively strong, there must be no problem in surviving in the last days, why do these dangerous jobs!
Shen Wei glanced at Zhang Le and said with a smile: "Of course, my own people are rewarded with radiation residue treatment and healthy food or something, these things can increase everyone's lifespan." Of course, the big credit will also reward the gene potion, but the chance of success of that activation is not high, and the credit required is large, and it is not as affordable as food for us. Besides, our hunter team often goes out on missions, and occasionally has the opportunity to eat dominant mutated species, for example, hehe, thanks to Brother Zhang's blessing, Brother Zhang's sea mussel is, these dominant mutated species are not only good for the body, can clear some radiation damage, but also have a very small chance of allowing the eater to produce some abilities. โ
"Ability? What do you mean? It was the first time that Zhang Le knew that there was such a statement, so he hurriedly asked.
Shen Wei looked at Zhang Le's expression, just laughed, and said, "What kind of ability do you think, flying into the sky or taking things from the air, where are those things!" When I say ability, I mean more strength, faster speed, or the body can tolerate radiation or something, which is no different from those genetic warriors in the country. I said, Brother Zhang, where are you from? How do I feel like you're an alien who doesn't know anything! โ
Zhang Le's eyes rolled, hesitating whether to tell the truth or lie, and finally spit out: "I'm a friend, not an enemy, it's as simple as that." โ
Shen Wei was naturally not satisfied with this answer, and was about to speak, when an abrupt voice sounded: "Hey, Shen, can we eat a little of this food?" The words were asked in English.
Zhang Le looked up and saw that a black man and a white man were standing behind him, obviously asking for the two groups. The members of this group of Chinese hunting teams have already eaten mussel meat, and the taste of the meat is very fragrant, and it is even more fragrant when grilled, and the taste wafts far away. Zhang Le now also understands that the dominant mutant species that Shen Wei said is the benign mutant creature that Ouyang Ji said, and this creature tastes better. Obviously, this taste alone means that this sea mussel is a very good benign variant species.
Zhang Le came from the other side of the beach, the beach is dangerous, and even more so at night. With this alone, Shen Wei will not underestimate Zhang Le. Naturally, others understand this. But people are always more willing to believe what the eyes see. Zhang Le, who is less than 1.75 meters tall and has a non-muscular male figure, doesn't look like a powerful character no matter how he looks at it. Maybe this Oriental has better luck! If the sea mussels are the stuff of the Chinese hunter team, these two groups of people naturally don't want to ask so directly, but if it's an outsider's thing, these people naturally want to come and get a piece of the pie, after all, these people have been out on a mission for so long, and it's the first time they have encountered a mutant species with such an excellent taste. The more delicious the creature, the higher its mutation value, and in the same way, the more benefits it has for the body, which is the truth that everyone understands in the last days.
Although Shen Wei has not yet figured out Zhang Le's identity, this does not prevent Shen Wei from standing on Zhang Le's side, everyone is Chinese, is this reason not enough?
"Hans, first of all, the food is not mine, and if you want to eat it, you must ask for the permission of this Mr. Zhang; Secondly, Mr. Zhang is my friend, and I will firmly support any decision he makes. Shen Wei deliberately slowed down the speed of English and said.
When the white bearded man approached the mussel closely, his face changed dramatically, because the meat of this mussel not only has a unique smell of seafood, but also has a strange aroma. Others may not know the meaning of this scent, but Hans learns the secret from a special organization, which is a special scent of a substance that can improve the body's genes.
Hans couldn't care about being polite to Shen Wei anymore, and said bluntly: "Dear Shen, we want all the rest of the clam meat, you can mention any conditions, by the way, and this Mr. Zhang, you can also mention any conditions." โ
Shen Wei was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, his face also changed, and said: "No, this can't be given to you, this is not our mission item, it is impossible to share it with you." โ
Zhang Le was also stupid: "I just caught a sea mussel later, is it necessary for you to make a saber rattling in order to eat some meat?" โ
The bearded Hans didn't know what Zhang Le thought, he waved his hand and said a few words that everyone didn't understand, a bit like German, and the tone was very weird, and the bearded people who ate human flesh over there came over hula. The thing in his hand is either an axe or a "mace" with an iron nail welded to one end of a stick, which looks particularly bluffing.
Seeing this, the group of blacks looked left and right, and found that they could not be provoked on either side, so they simply did not help anyone, and continued to eat grilled fish over there.
