Chapter 25: Mutant Creatures

Through the deep well passage from the middle layer to the upper level, Su Qing led the Reaper team of less than a hundred people to advance in the direction of the ruins from an exit in the upper area. Among them, there is also Meng Xingchen wearing the costume of the Grim Reaper Squad, but only a few people at the top know about his travel, and ordinary soldiers don't know his identity.

"Are you sure it's not dangerous?" Su Qing said to Meng Xingchen in the private channel with some worry.

"Where is the danger? Isn't the shelter dangerous? At least there is no danger of being monitored in the commercial area around the city, as long as Xiao Fei is contacted, he will arrange the rest, and the only thing I am worried about now is how to find this guy. Meng Xingchen replied.

After leaving the confines of the Abyss Shelter, Su Qing handed over the command to the twin sisters, and he and Meng Xingchen disappeared at the end of the Death Squad.

"This road is to the camp of wanderers on the outskirts of the city, I don't think the two of them will stay in the ruins now, right?" Su Qing asked, pointing to the holographic map.

Meng Xingchen roughly calculated the time, and estimated that the rooms he left for Xiao Fei and Dyson Locke should have also been there, so according to the plan when they separated, the two should have returned to the business district. After all, with those special rooms that have not yet been discovered, the contribution degree can definitely allow the two of them not to carry out tasks in the future.

"As long as we can get into the business district, right?" Su Qing asked.

Meng Xingchen nodded, he knew that with a rebel like Su Qing who had been wandering around the city for many years, he would definitely have a way to enter the place that belonged to the buffer zone of the two forces.

The two of them rode the anti-gravity motorcycle all the way in the direction of the ring city, deliberately avoiding the route where they might encounter other people, but went around in a big circle before continuing towards the goal.

"Let's rest here, there is a dangerous area ahead, even my elite team will not come here easily, it is estimated that the two sides must have fought on the other side of the ruins, and we can only take this road that has been abandoned for a long time." Su Qing looked at the dilapidated buildings in front of him and said.

Meng Xingchen was also attracted by the dilapidated almost unrecognizable building, this must be a prosperous city of human beings before the apocalypse, although the scale is not large, but from the towering building skeleton can be seen that the level of science and technology here is not bad, although now there are only some steel skeletons left in the building, but from its degree of extension, it is certain that this is very likely to be a large commercial area integrating shopping, catering, entertainment and other projects.

"I heard from some old people that this is the largest commercial area in a radius of hundreds of kilometers before the end of the world, and there is a large natural hot spring bath in it, and now the area of that hot spring is occupied by some mutated creatures, we can either bypass there or go straight through that dangerous area!" Su Qing pointed to the direction where a slight purple mist rose in the distance.

Mutated creatures? Meng Xingchen is no stranger to mutant creatures, and he has been studying this even during the time that the moon base is being monitored.

The Meng Consortium is responsible for the scope of high technology, and the biochemistry department is mainly responsible for the research of mutated organisms and genetic agents, so his understanding of mutated creatures is definitely worse than that of people like Bu Su Qing who often fight with mutant creatures.

"What type?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Some of the periphery are made up of pet cats and dogs that were abandoned here before, and there are also rats or something, basically these are the main combat forces. As for the interior...... Our people didn't dare to enter, but judging by the distribution, there was definitely a big guy inside. Su Qing looked at the place where the purple mist was shining.

"Judging from the results of external induction decomposition, the mutants here are basically derivatives, which belong to decay mutations, and the danger level is level 1." M6 uses brainwaves to establish communication directly with Meng Xingchen.

"The decay type is much safer, and the tokens don't matter much, but the purple mist shouldn't be a normal character." Meng Xingchen asked M6.

"Insufficient data analysis is impossible to determine!" M6's answer is succinct.

Meng Xingchen turned his head to look at Su Qing beside him, and said, "It's best to bypass that purple mist and bypass it a little, these cats and dogs on the periphery are easy to deal with." ”

Su Qing nodded in agreement, but added: "In the past, we had at least a team of more than 100 people hunting here, but now there are only the two of us, even if these cats and dogs are not powerful, but they can't stand the large number, the number of hot weapons here is limited, and they are all small lethal, it is better not to fight in a group, once you enter hand-to-hand combat, it will be more troublesome to get out." ”

Meng Xingchen was also carrying the standard equipment of the Reaper team, an ordinary defensive combat suit, plus two standard pistols, and a Grim Reaper scythe forged from stainless steel. These equipment are really not enough for a protracted war, so he also thinks that it is better not to have a large-scale conflict here, even if the opponent is a mutated cat and dog.

Because it is night, the light on the earth is dim and pitiful, and the transformation of the moon has made the mother star lose its moonlight, but Venus and Mars have become denser because of the end of the world, and have replaced the function of the moon, but the distance is farther, and the light hitting the earth is only foggy.

Grunt! Grunt! Grunt......

The purr of the beast's throat was so clear in the quiet of the night! Su Qing had a standard pistol in one hand, carefully alerting everything around him on the slowest motorcycle.

Meng Xingchen saw the pair of eyes hidden in the darkness around him through M6's information sharing, and when the two of them entered the range of the dilapidated building, they were already surrounded by these mutated creatures.

"It's a bit bad." Su Qing whispered to Meng Xingchen.

"As expected, they have mutated not only their bodies, but also their IQs! Although the physical changes make them more ferocious than the pre-apocalyptic hounds, the most terrifying thing is that they have learned to fight in groups! In the event of a battle in a while, you try to be within three meters of me, and we rush over! Meng Xingchen chose a radical plan, because he was ninety percent sure of breaking out of this ruin, and the only one percent variable was the big guy in the purple light mist!

If it was without M6, maybe he would rather take a detour than provoke this group of cats and dogs, but with the help of M6, he was confident that even the big guy in the purple light mist would not be able to keep him.

Since getting the M6, he has been researching this higher-level agent that replaces his AI, and the number of weapons carried by the M6 can almost destroy the entire Ring City Base, but most of them need Biya Energy to support, and the pitiful less than 10,000 Bicabi he currently has on hand can barely activate medium-sized weapons. However, a few handy light weapons and a few cold weapons still made him very satisfied.

And the biggest problem now is how to explain the origin of these weapons, at least in the Abyss Shelter, Meng Xingchen has never revealed the existence of these weapons.

"Rush over? There is a chance, but ...... Don't you think it's too risky? It's not your style! Su Qing asked with some confusion.

"My style? What is my style? Meng Xingchen asked rhetorically while adjusting the route through the real-time information collected by M6.

"I feel like you're the kind of steady type who plans to move later, why are you a little impatient when you get to the ground?" Su Qing replied truthfully.

A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Xingchen's mouth, and he said lightly: "Since they all say that I am a stable type, then it must be after I make a judgment that I can let you follow me, and you will see some surprises at that time, you just need to save your physical strength." The surface temperature and metallized air here are really uncomfortable! ”

"This is a danger zone, if the two of us have not been genetically modified, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive here, and this is the case in most regions of the earth now, and only a few consortia and rebels will have areas suitable for human life." Su Qing tried his best to keep the car close to Meng Xingchen, ready to enter the battle mode at any time.

As the two deepened, the restlessness of the mutant creatures became more intense, the first one who couldn't bear it was a two-meter-sized mutant dog, as for what kind of breed it changed before, it was now covered with a layer of metalized fur half a foot long, and the fur was like a hedgehog standing up one by one, even if it didn't use its sharp teeth and claws, it was enough to injure the opponent.

Meng Xingchen raised his right hand, and with a simple flick of the gun, the bullet directly shot into the brain from the eyes of the vicious dog. For this kind of mutant creature with a metalized appearance, the most lethal thing is the brain, and the eyes cannot be metallized, so if the deep point of the bullet is the eye, it can be killed 100%!

Su Qing looked at Meng Xingchen, who had killed the moving target with an understatement, and secretly compared the gap between himself and him.

Although the speed of the car is not fast, the vicious dog is moving at high speed, and it is difficult to catch the eyes that are only the size of a fingernail in the dim environment around him, so Meng Xingchen does not rely on eyesight, but a kind of intuition that can only be formed in a long-term fierce battle, even if it is himself, he can't be 100% understated.

"Don't get distracted! They're about to start a group attack, you take care of the right flank from twelve to four, and I'll take care of the rest! Meng Xingchen said as he stuck his legs in the card slot of the motorcycle, which was specially designed for mobile combat, and it was also one of Su Qing's proud works.

It seemed that in order to verify Meng Xingchen's words, less than ten seconds after his warning, hundreds of mutated creatures launched a fierce attack on the two of them!

Standard pistols have a limited amount of ammunition and are configured with only three magazines each. Thermal weapons are clearly the weapon of choice for this kind of battle!

The sizzle of bullets on contact with semi-metalized fur continued to sound, accompanied by the roars of mutant beasts, how this bison-like roar came from the mouths of cats and dogs, it is impossible to verify, but it is an indisputable fact that the enraged mutants are rushing towards the positions of the two one after another.

"I'm running out of ammo!" Su Qing said in a low voice after replacing the last magazine.

Meng Xingchen looked at the empty magazine in his hand, his use rate was higher than Su Qing's, and now the bullet in his hand was almost bottomed out.

After all the bullets were emptied, Meng Xingchen directly pulled out a metal arm guard from the space of M6 and put it on his hand, and then said to Su Qing beside him: "You come behind me, and I will keep your mount for you!" ”
