Chapter 321: Dangerous Path
The wasteland city in the middle of obsidian summer was even more terrifying than when He Hao first set foot on it.
The survivors who inhabit it become even more vicious, ambushing not only passing warbands, but even military supply trucks in exchange for enough water, food, or a few grams of drugs.
But the only price they can pay is their lives.
From time to time, highly decomposed corpses can be found in the garbage-strewn streets. Gray and black bursting skin is bubbling brown oil. Unknown reptiles crawl with ants on carrion. The deadly muzzle was filled with worm maggots, and flakes of flies fluttered like thin smoke—a seeping buzz could be heard from ten meters away.
Xia Xue frowned and spat at the foam, she had never been so rude. Probably because I can't stand the smell of the streets.
The high temperature makes the rotten protein taste even stronger, and the smell of the unpleasant sauce makes people itch deep in the nasal cavity.
Even more terrifying than the hellish environment is the danger that will happen at any time.
He Hao and Xia Xue were riding at high speed when they were ambushed by a trap - a thin steel wire was pulled between the crooked street lamp pole and the abandoned building!
He Hao has a high degree of concentration and finds it in time 9 meters away from the trap. He put the mechanical arm between his throats to save himself from being in a different place.
Despite the trap, they were strangled on their backs. Fortunately, He Hao launched the gravity field in time, so he didn't let himself and Xia Xue fall too embarrassed, at least he could hold on.
The Harley-Davidson crashed into the street and crashed into the wall. The entire front of the car was completely shattered, and light brown inferior gasoline flowed out of the cracks in the deformed fuel tank and spilled all over the ground......
Before the frightened Xia Xue could react to what was happening, a group of people swarmed out of the abandoned buildings on both sides. They are unclothed and skinny. His face was pale, like a paper man at a memorial service, stepping on a flurry pace, howling all the way. The steel knife in his hand flashed with a cold light, comparable to their terrifying appearance.
Even if he is dealing with such a group of soft-footed goods, He Hao is going all out, he is not a master who capsizes in the gutter!
Before the group of people approached, He Hao pulled out the close-fitting 9T from his lower waist, and then adjusted it to shotgun mode, and shot down several people.
The other party seems to be dazed by the high pressure of the end times, even if he sees the people around him being shot to pieces, he rushes to kill without hesitation - the hatred of the injustice of the world gives them a terrible desire to fight, and the steel knife in his hand is waved and howls.
He Hao and Xia Xue stood back to back, while defending off the survivors on both sides. She pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in her hand to the end—the damage of the armor-piercing bullet to the flesh was staggering. The wounds were all torn and rolled, and the scabs of flesh that were instantly scorched by the scorching bullets were clearly visible in the bloody holes.
The other party couldn't get close to He Hao and Xia Xue at all, and they all died 3 meters away......
It wasn't until the last survivor was shot in the head by He Hao that calm returned to the streets.
"It's crazy, it's like a zombie." He Hao said after replacing the new magazine just in case.
Xia Xue gasped, she hadn't recovered her composure from the battle just now, so she didn't hear what he was saying.
He Hao didn't think that there was anything worth searching on this group of people, so he went straight to the damaged Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He looked at the deformed handle and the front of the car, and was very angry, and cursed a string of swear words to himself.
In the wasteland, running out of transportation is a nuisance. However, He Hao had an idea, and with the attitude of trying it out, he used magnetic control to force the destroyed motorcycle to start - and he succeeded.
So the two of them continued to move forward on the oil spilled Harley, dragging the crushed iron filings all the way; Purple lightning all the way......
On the other side of the wasteland city, He Hao had never set foot on it. When he first came here, he was shocked - even though the sun was still high in the sky, the endless buildings were still deserted; It was a drowsiness. The inky smoke that drifted from the factories in the military war zone all gathered here. The sewage treatment plant was closed due to the end of the world, so the industrial wastewater was not discharged into the sea, but directly into the city!
The cracked asphalt pavement is filled with sour sewage that has not been dried by the scorching sun. Some of the fairly dry roads were covered with yellow sticky oil and fine white foam.
Dusty scrapped vehicles are piled up, and they have long been eroded by the wind and snow to reveal blood-like rust. The wind blew by, and the torn door iron plate made a "whoosh" sound......
There were also many bones of wild cats and rats on the roadside, mixed with dry and hard droppings. The pollution in the air is even worse than on the hard-to-reach ground – if you open your eyes, your eyes hurt. As long as you breathe, the base of your tongue will be sour......
At the end of the dead building under the black smoke was a devastated land. No plants, no birds, only echoes, endless echoes......
It is not difficult for He Hao to find the shipyard that he has heard of in his memory.
It is located in the isolated corner of the former industrial area of Yangchun City, where the once huge factory area is now a gathering place for wanderers. Crossing a long and winding urban road, you can see its shadow in the smoke......
Gradually, survivors appeared on the road. Most of them are people with weaker physique, and in the middle of summer, they are wrapped in cotton clothes. Use trembling hands to search through the mountains of garbage for gadgets that work—diodes, magnets, nails, complete woven bags. They will take care of it all.
This territory, barter!
After He Hao and Xia Xue appeared, they attracted everyone's attention, and they were as bright as gods. Let the survivors with dirt and sour faces be jealous. Even when He Hao drove past them, there was an old woman who spat out green phlegm towards Xia Xue!
Xia Xue shrank in fright, and the whole person was squeezed on He Hao's back, and she kept twisting. So much so that Harley, which was already damaged, drove more and more crookedly, and finally had to stop.
"What the are you doing?" He Hao was confused and scolded Xia Xue angrily. And she frowned and grinned. I couldn't hold back a single explanation for a long time, my face was flushed, and my lips trembled slightly.
When Howe tried to force Harley to start again, it had already run out of oil, broken in two by the purple lightning......
He Hao was stupid.
Xia Xue panicked......
So He Hao pushed the scrapped Harley to the ground, looked around at the crowded scavenging shipyard and said, "Forget it, it's here anyway, go find Qiongchuan." ”
Xia Xue held her mouth and looked at the gathering place of about hundreds of people, like a girl who made a mistake, she put her hands behind her back, pinched her fingers, and nodded violently.
In the end, He Hao carried the constellation storage on his back, carried the Guangling long sword in his pocket, carried 4R4 on his back waist, and pinned 9T in his side waist. and Xia Xue, who was carrying two guns, one after the other. Heavily armed and circled around the boundaries of the land full of shipping containers, tarpaulin tents, tire houses, tin houses, and scrap wood buildings......
