Chapter 7 Return to the Horse Pistol
The last bit of starlight faded, and the sun conquered the wasteland.
Tang Yan stepped on the clods of soil on the ground, looked at the dilapidated village in front of him and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
From the place where he rested last night to the town that the newcomer of the Panda Man Legion said, he was besieged by several mutant dogs on the way, but fortunately, the sky was clear, and he easily solved it with the weapons in his hand.
The road is flanked by abandoned electric cars, weeds growing under rusty light poles, scraps of glass hanging from shop windows on either side, and rotten doors ajar with filthy dolls or broken dishes.
There are also traces of explosions on the main road, as if they had been hit by weapons such as rockets.
Is this really an inhabited town? That guy can't be lying to him, right?
Tang Yan cheered up, looked at the roof of the building with a sniper rifle, and was sure that there was no enemy ambush before continuing to walk forward.
"Look...... That's wheat? ”
Following Han Xin's gaze, he saw some green hidden behind the crumbling house.
It looks like it's really inhabited, but ...... Where have all the people gone?
He walked over to the barricad, made of sacks and nets, and frowned as he looked at the cigarette heads and empty bottles on the ground.
The room behind the blockade was locked, and the windows were sealed with wooden or iron plates, so that the inside could not be seen.
After a few more steps, he left the main road and entered an alley, looking at the small buildings to the left and right along the way.
Most of the buildings are crumbling, the walls are littered with bullet holes, only the two small buildings at the end of the alley are still intact, and judging by the weeds in the courtyards, they seem to be inhabited.
He examined the interior of the building in detail, and determined that it had once been inhabited, but now that it had left, it seemed that he had left in a hurry, and his daily belongings were scattered all over the floor.
At this moment, Han Xin's shouts came from the back of the house, and he could hear that he was very nervous and scared.
"Tang Yan, Tang Yan, you are ...... Come and take a look. ”
He left the room and walked around the back of the building with a miniature submachine gun.
Behind the alley is a wheat field, which is not vigorous, and the plants are low and sparse.
There was a pond not far from the wheat field, which was supposed to be a facility used by the villagers to store water, and Han Xin stood on the edge of the pond and looked at him with a pale face.
He shook the gun in his hand and walked over quickly.
There was no water in the pond, but it was not clean, because there were five bodies poured down.
Judging from the death posture, they were trapped on their hands and feet on the ground, and were shot in the head from behind.
The blood had accumulated around them in puddles, and it had dried up.
Tang Yan noticed that these five people were all men, and they had injuries on their bodies, judging from the situation of the corpses, there was not much time to die, it seemed that it was what happened last night.
Could it be ...... Did the Pandaren Legion do it?
The sight before him had to make him suspect that someone had ransacked the village last night, killed all the wounded, and took the rest as slaves.
There is absolutely no way to do this kind of thing with three or five people, and it must be an organization of some size.
Back at the end of the alley, Han Xin told Fan Yong and Lang Aiping what happened later.
"Let's go, this village is ruined."
He didn't say anything, intending to continue on his way in search of the next human settlement.
At this moment, Fan Yong suddenly said: "You go by yourself, we decided to stay, there are fields that can be planted, buildings that can shelter from the wind and rain, there are cooking stoves in the house, and clothes to wear, although life in the shelter is a little more difficult, but it is better than wandering around." ”
Yesterday's encounter frightened him and Lang Aiping, not to mention the murderous and unblinking guys of the Panda Man Legion, two or three kilometers from Vault 1001 to the village encountered two waves of mutant dogs, if you follow Tang Yan to continue to wander, you can imagine how dangerous the future is.
They are not like him, who have adapted to this dangerous world.
Tang Yan didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.
He doesn't care if those people leave or stay, he won't stop anyway.
Han Xin looked at Fan Yong and Lang Aiping, and then looked at Tang Yan's back, not knowing what to do.
"That...... Mr. Tang ......"
Tang Yan stopped and looked back at Lang Aiping: "Is there anything else?" ”
"I want to ...... Can you leave us a weapon or two? ”
He had a Type 88 sniper rifle hanging from his shoulder, a Type 81 rifle in his bag, and a powerful submachine gun in his hand, which could be said to be a mobile fire point.
Standing on the spot and thinking about it, he turned around and walked back, threw the Type 81 rifle and three magazines in his bag to Fan Yong, and took out the other Ruger pistol in his waist and handed it to Lang Aiping.
Without further ado, he turned and walked out into the street.
Seeing that he had already walked to the entrance of the alley and would soon disappear from view, Han Xin stomped his feet and gritted his teeth to chase after him.
"Why are you following me?" As he walked to the head of the village, he asked coldly.
"I don't know." After saying this, she pondered for a moment and then said, "A woman's intuition. ”
"Cut." Tang Yan was noncommittal to her answer: "I will not deliberately protect you in dangerous situations." ”
Han Xin thought of what happened when he just left Vault 1001 and smiled, but didn't say anything.
The road outside the village is rotten, either the road is high and raised, or the roadbed is sunken, there are some craters of various sizes, and the vehicles next to it also have burn marks, and it seems that there have been many fierce fights around the village.
After walking about a kilometer, the two stopped by an upside-down truck and took out the dried meat and a small half-pot of water from their bags, which they used to deal with their rumbling stomachs.
Han Xin used to live in Vault 1001, and his living conditions were many times better than outside, where had he eaten such an unpalatable thing, but he barely swallowed a few bites and couldn't eat anymore, so he got up and walked around the truck.
When she saw the dry corpse tied to the seat belt in the cab, and subconsciously clenched her fists, there was a continuous gunshot sound in the wind.
Dada, dada......
Tang Yan hurriedly swallowed the jerky in his mouth, grabbed the Type 88 sniper rifle and stood up, looking at the place where the gunfire came from.
A few figures faintly flashed in the ruins of the building, and it was not clear from this position.
The gunfire was brief, and the exchange of fire ended quickly.
He told Han Xin to hide in the carriage and walked back with his waist bent.
After some time, under the cover of roadside weeds, he came to the east wall of the village head primary school, entered the courtyard building from the collapsed place, and went up to the third floor, which was full of broken walls, and looked into the village with the sight of a Type 88 sniper rifle.
Behind the blockade of cement bags and separating nets stood two people, cigarettes in their mouths, as if they were exchanging something.
Near the center of the village, two other people dragged two bodies out of the alley and threw them in front of a middle-aged man kneeling with his head in the middle of the long street.
Behind the kneeling man with his head in his arms was a man wearing body armor and a gas mask on his face, with a gun in his hand in the back of the head of the person in front of him, who looked like he could shoot at any moment.
Tang Yan noticed that the two people standing behind the blockade line had scorpion patterns tattooed on their faces, and the bald heads of the three people standing in the middle of the street who did not wear masks also seemed to have black tattoos on the side of their faces, which seemed to indicate that the five people in front of them were not vagabonds in the wasteland, but organized and disciplined team forces.
Judging by the gas masks worn by the people in body armor, they should not be from the Pandaren Legion.
In fact, it doesn't matter which bandit organization they come from, the important thing is that he is familiar with the two corpses on the ground, it is Fan Yong and Lang Aiping, who parted ways with him not long ago.
It was only a meal before and after, and the two men died in the wasteland less than a day after leaving the vault.
He didn't know what to say, and he didn't plan to say anything, because this is the rule of life under the nuclear haze.
He simply picked up his gun and aimed it at the smoker with his back to him.
The order of this world has collapsed, the state no longer exists, and all that remains are bandit groups and separatist forces, large and small, and the greatest criterion for all human actions is to live, and to live better.
He pulled the trigger.
The muzzle of the Type 88 sniper rifle erupted a tongue of fire, and the bullet shot away, stabbing into the back of the smoker's head with a pop, blowing the head to pieces.
Blood poured on the face of the other smoker, extinguishing the burning cigarette.
Almost at the moment when the gunshots rang out, the three bandits in the center of the street scattered to the buildings on both sides as fast as they could, leaving only the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.
The man who smoked his face was drenched in blood, reacted faster and threw himself directly behind the cement bag bunker, causing the second shot of the Type 88 sniper rifle to miss.
It can be seen that these people have extremely rich combat experience.
The reason why Tang Yan targeted the enemy near the hiding place, rather than the person wearing body armor in the distance, had his own considerations.
After this shot, he left the hiding place as fast as he could.
The system reports that 108 bonus points have been collected, which means that in addition to the person whose head was blown off by him, there are 5 enemies.
As if to confirm his suspicions.
He dodged with his front foot, and the wall where his back foot was hiding was torn apart by a large-caliber bullet.
It is clear that the opposing side also placed snipers in high places.
He glanced back at the hole in the wall, and hid into the half-man-high barren grass in front of the elementary school, and walked around the left rear at a slower speed, keeping his eyes fixed on the direction of the elementary school, always keeping an eye out for the enemy's movements.
About 20 meters away, a person flashed out in the corner of the elementary school, who was another bandit smoking in front of the blockade.
The smoke that had been extinguished by the blood had not yet been spit out, and the man's face was stained with a lot of blood, and he looked very hideous, like a bloodthirsty man.
Tang Yan did not startle the snake, and continued to sneak to the left, taking advantage of an overturned electric car to cover, sideways into an abandoned house, carefully letting go of the broken glass on the ground, and going up to the second floor through the stairwell.
Judging from the furnishings in the room, this room should have been a department store before the nuclear war, with shelves on the first floor and a warehouse on the second floor.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have gone deep into the village and town, and should have ambushed the people behind the smokers in the grass outside the elementary school, and then found a way to deal with the smokers.
He didn't do that, and after going up to the second floor of the supply and marketing cooperative, he observed for a while, crawled forward to the wind-damaged exterior wall, threw away the Type 88 sniper rifle, and took out the Boeson FN50 sniper rifle that he had just redeemed from the system space.
