Chapter 375: Gathering Resources for the End Times
The warm red new sun has not yet risen, and the mist in the mountains is thick. A terrifying sound of mechanical twisting faintly emerged from the depths of Tenglong Mountain. Birds and beasts fled in all directions, as if a disaster had struck......
"Smack! Click...... Smack! ”
"Boom!"
With a loud sound of trees cracking, the mountains and trees were cut down by giant robotic arms with hooks, and then a huge super engineering vehicle, the Scavenger, slowly drove out among the rocks and bushes. It moved up and down a very steep hill, hesitating to rush down.
"Fuck you! Do you know how to drive?" Qiong Chuan roared hysterically, and she competed with Wu Di in the cockpit for the sensor controller, causing the entire scavenger to turn left and right in a serpentine way.
"Rocks! Rock! The dog on the side pointed out the window with a pale face and roared. But it was too late—the scavengers had already sprinted down the hillside, blasted through the barriers, and headed straight onto the road.
The dead roared and followed along the Xinpishan Road.
"You can't arrange these three riffraff together in the future, otherwise something will happen sooner or later." Bin Qing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had a sad face.
"Hmph, but I don't dare to arrange Qiong Chuan with us, who knows what the hell she can do suddenly." He Hao pulled the steering wheel, turned the front of the dead man's car around, and chased after the scavengers.
"Da ......" In a burst of disc stirring of tracks, the creator of the two female guards also climbed over the hillside, and then slowly chased after them. Xia Xue, who was driving, buttoned the walkie-talkie and said to everyone: "Big ...... Everyone, please wait for me! ”
The next moment, the convoy of the brilliant base came to a halt on the highway.
It is the scavengers who open the way, the dead soldiers in the middle, and the creators in the back. And behind the founder, there is actually a dilapidated armored car, on which is the puff of the queen of the palace, and also leads 4 armed students.
Today, He Hao is going to collect the wreckage of cars on both sides of the highway and then head east to the nearest county, Qingshan County.
Once all the men were in place, the group carried out the mining operation - the scavengers slowly made their way along the road, its massive body occupying the entire double lane on one side. From a distance, it is extremely domineering. The robotic arm stretched out of the body swirled, and the huge iron hook at the top easily split the rusty abandoned bus on the side of the road into a crispy pastry.
In the terrible explosion, a large number of trapped half-body zombies finally came out of the trap - like maggots that fell from the rotten cans, they let out a babbling and crawled frantically towards the scavengers
"Wow! Wow! Wu Di bared his teeth in fright, he had never seen such a disgusting scene - those zombies were all junior zombies because they were trapped, their healing power was poor, most of their torsos were rotted into minced meat, and when they crawled, the pink and black filth flowed all the way, and the indescribable stench instantly diffused......
The scavengers hooked the wreckage with a mechanical hook and threw it into the crush pod on the body along with the zombies!
When the hatch of the crushing chamber opened, you could see that it was all gears that were pressed together and rolled together - hard and powerful. Not to mention crushing rusted metal, even freshly forged alloys!
When a crushing pod is filled, the hatch closes directly, and then directly distorts and shrinks under high pressure, and the terrifying loud noise continues for a long time, and the metal friction splashes sparks and zombie blood are squeezed out of the cracks of the crush pod, instantly making the scavengers look terrifying - not like a collection vehicle for recovering supplies, but a giant iron demon that eats corpses.
The remaining junior zombies were dealt with by Qiongchuan, who threw Molotov cocktails at the bottom of the car and incinerated them with blazing fire......
The convoy continued to advance along the highway and under the shoulders of the road, smashing more of the wreckage into the crushing chamber and separating it into the base materials - iron ingots, steel ingots, alloy bricks, plastic blocks, glass panes, etc., and of course, energy crystallization powder......
The waste pickers collected very efficiently, without the slightest stagnation along the way, and in half an hour, the 5-kilometer-long shoulder below the highway was emptied, and the basic materials collected were close to 2 tons. However, this is not the highest efficiency for waste pickers, if it is driven into Qingshan County and collected in urban areas, then its efficiency will definitely be increased by more than 5 times.
Just as everyone was quietly guarding the scavengers, collecting discarded resources on the side of the road, a puff of mud and dust rolled from the direction of the Daybreak Base. Looking along the cracked earth, there was nothing to see except the yellow sand.
"Yes...... Someone's coming. The puff behind the palace buttoned the walkie-talkie and issued an early warning. Suddenly, everyone felt faintly uneasy. The military closed the Mercy Barrier, and the survivors who were kept out became 'lonely ghosts'. They must race against time to find water or supplies to drink, and if possible, they will not spare even zombies. After all, now the energy crystallizes into hard currency......
No matter how many people on the other side are, whether they are passing by or coming at themselves. He Hao must deal with it carefully, the other party itself is at the end of the road, and he is still in the last days. So there's no guarantee that they won't do it to themselves - it's always a matter of fighting a war......
"Everyone on guard against the enemy!" He Hao was armed with Mo Tugai, standing on the roof of the dead man's car with Xcc in his hand, waving his arms and shouting. After everyone heard the news, they prepared for battle—except for Qiongchuan, who continued to complete the collection operation. Bin Qing held a nail gun and hid in the dead car, preparing to sneak attack the enemy's core figure.
Xia Xue drove the Founder, sidestepping the dead car, and then connected with the armored car driven by Puff, forming a steel barrier to protect the relatively vulnerable scavengers.
All members of the battle hid on the inside of the rampart. Armed with assault rifles, form a line of fire to defend against the approaching survivors.
The other party seemed to observe the formation of He Hao and the others, so he stopped at a distance of about 200 meters. The moment the yellow sand calmed down, He Hao found that the lineup on the opposite side was also huge, and the second-tier combat modified vehicles were the mainstream force, loaded with survivors wearing protective gear, and the equipment was definitely a mercenary-level warrior. Because everyone has either a rifle or a submachine gun in their hand. There are also a few burly men holding cold weapons made of alloy.
But all of them were choked, listless, and chapped lips—the larger the team, the greater the consumption. Coupled with the loss of their base, they are like running out of oil.
Just as He Hao was speculating about their intention to stop, a motorcycle drove over the other party, and a dry old man sat in the car. The old man was a messenger, telling He Hao that they were just passing through, and that they were going to take refuge in 'Prison No. 13'.
In the last days, everyone is on guard, and there are often inexplicable exchanges of fire when the two large armies are in the wrong position, and this phenomenon is called "wiping the knife". In order to avoid wiping the knife, one party will come out first to reveal the intention, which can greatly reduce unnecessary casualties. However, the end of the world is dark, and many people pretend to pass by, but in fact they sneak around the back. In short, no one knows anyone, relying on the only vestiges of trust.
He Hao nodded at the old man, and after confirming that he knew, he let his people temporarily return to the dead to take refuge. And he himself guards the scavengers alone with a gun - they are also his 'customers' anyway. Retreating from the army is already He Hao's greatest tolerance for them. Otherwise, according to his previous character, it would be a direct greeting from firepower!
After the old man replied, the huge formation of vehicles on the other side started again, driving along the highway, past the convoy of super engineering vehicles—the scorching sunlight shone through the gaps in the moving crowd, casting colorful flashes on He Hao and his companions. The other party looked at He Hao, and He Hao also looked at each other, both clutching their guns. However, the other party, who numbered nearly a hundred people, was a little more panicked, and what was even more surprising was that everyone was not interested in the behemoth of the scavengers, but focused all their attention on He Hao......
Puff sucked vigorously and snorted because of nervousness, and prayed in her mouth: "Don't be an enemy." Don't be an enemy......"
After a while, the huge car formation missed He Hao and the others, and continued to raise the yellow sand in the sky, disappearing out of sight.
"It's really rare......" Xia Xue also said nervously wiping her cold sweat. It is indeed rare that such a large corps did not attack them. And He Hao suddenly realized something. Shouldering the gun, he smiled playfully.
"Keep working!" He said......
