Chapter 13: Lost in the Void
The Fallen are mutated human beings who have become bloodthirsty and insane by the instincts of radiant power, but they are extremely vigorous, often with only one head left, and all of them can survive for several years.
Although they have mutated, they still look the same as humans, but these mutated humans, because they can't rest and sleep, their eyes are bloodshot, and with their bloodthirsty ability, they are called degenerates by humans.
Often in a city, there will be nearly 10 million people, who are invaded by radiation forces, but cannot control them, of course, become degenerates, surviving human beings, surviving in that era, leaving the dense city, in the former suburbs, in order to establish a base.
In every city, there is a nightmare for the survivors who survived in the first place.
"My mother told me that before I was born, the city was peaceful and peaceful." This is the only beautiful thing Grandma Shixing told Shixing about those cities.
"Captain, let's go to the fallen city, there is no return!" The others all spoke to Huang Gang in such a tone, they still wanted to retreat, they didn't want to go, but Shi Xing didn't want to escape from here.
The escort team has all their information, if you escape from the battle, otherwise your relatives and friends will feel faceless, and the base will forever refuse you to enter, so the orders of the senior management of the escort team must be carried out.
Now they join the convoy, just like when they joined the army, become soldiers, and must obey orders.
"The base has summoned a large number of escort members to go this time, you don't want relatives, do you want to survive independently outside the base forever?" Huang Gang looked at the people who retreated, and the people who had the idea of fleeing reminded them of the price they would have to bear if they made such a choice.
"Shixing is very aware of this." Huang Gang looked at Shi Xing and did not show fear, and felt that this young man was very courageous.
When Shi Xing joined this escort team at the beginning, he actually had the idea of accepting some very dangerous missions, but he only arrived late after he was comfortable for more than half a month.
Hunter is outside the base, hunting other creatures that threaten his base, and this profession is also what Shixing has dreamed of many times.
"The Fallen are not very strong themselves, and their physical strength is the same as that of human genetic warriors." Shixing knows about the Fallen, but there are too many of them.
People who can use weapons, and degenerates who can only go crazy, who is high and who are low, of course, can easily compete, but the number of degenerates is too much, especially their vitality, which is incomparable to the current human race.
There are pros and cons to everything, these fallen people do have a strange vitality, but they can't reproduce, and human beings still can, under eighty years of reproduction, the number of human beings is also slowly rising, a large number of fallen people have been dying out, and the ability of the fallen is slowly becoming weak.
"The mission of our escort team should not be to participate in the war, right?" Shi Xing knew that they were all newcomers, and if the base asked them to immediately assign the task of hunting, it would simply send them to death.
"This time, the task is to carry the consignment, and we don't need to go to the road." Huang Gang himself was very clear about this mission, and what he said about clearing the way was to clean up and kill the fallen when the team was advancing.
As far as the base team that Seiya sees now is already a hundred meters long, if they also follow the team and go together, it will naturally make this team more obvious, they go to the fallen city, the distribution of millions of degenerates, there must be a war, Shixing They are all ten-level genetic warriors, and they belong to the weakest level of genetic warriors.
"The Fallen City is so far away from us, the people at the base have also entrusted a large number of people from the Free Organization this time, and they are all going to this dangerous mission." Huang Gang said without hesitation.
The base needs to get something, and in a long way, it needs to be loaded and unloaded into the base, but the base will not completely let the people of the Free Organization get this mission back through the bounty of benefits.
Those hunters are free and lazy, and don't have much sense of teamwork, if they are allowed to transport back the things they need for the base, they may either be wantonly destroyed or discarded by them halfway, so the base still needs the help of the base guards who know the root and are safer.
After weighing the results, half of the free organizations now employ husband-level genetic warriors, and the base has spent a lot of federal coins in the free organization this time, and entrusted many centurions, or even thousand-level genetic warriors.
"Don't be afraid, there are a lot of vehicles in the station, Xiao Wu, you go and drive one." Huang Gang beckoned a resident who could drive to pick up the car, making a still fearless appearance.
Other people's hearts gradually accepted this dangerous task, but Shi Xing didn't think that this Huang Gang really saw it like this, you must know that he would rather all the people in this station do this task than go himself.
"This Huang Gang is a guy who will betray his own people at any time and just want to live for himself." Huang Gang already has such an impression in Shixing's heart.
The sound of humming cars was heard, and in a very dirty street, there was a convoy moving slowly.
Shi Xing was also in a car in the middle of the convoy, and from time to time someone came down to probe the front.
The people who got off the bus were not members of the base guards, they were all hunters hired by the base to pay for the free organization, and they were all genetic warriors who often completed tasks outside of the base.
The base naturally arranged their convoy at the front and the rear, and it was originally hired by money, and of course the high-level leaders of the base would use the role they could play wantonly.
"Chen Yong, you coward, you saw those degenerates before, and you didn't fire a shot, right?" The people in the car were all laughing at the cowardice that Chen Yong had seen before.
"It's not the first time I've seen it, so I'm a little scared."
"You're still afraid, Shixing is many years younger than you, and everyone dares to shoot."
The people in the car were still discussing a previous attack on the Fallen, because there were a lot of Fallen on a road that required cars to pass, and they also needed to go out to share some hunting and luring tasks for the hunters hired by the Free Organization.
It's just that this Chen Yong's performance before seemed very cowardly, and he seemed to be frightened when he saw those degenerates.
"Didn't I shoot too?" This Chen Yong also retorted.
"Don't mention that shot, those genetic warriors of the Free Organization almost want to kill you as a degenerate, but don't forget your wounds." Shi Xing also said unabashedly, this Chen Yong before was a headache, and he was beaten by the genetic warriors hired by the free organization.
The only shot he fired hit the people in their convoy, and it was a centurion-level genetic warrior, this genetic warrior and the small group he formed himself, which the Freedom Organization had taken on a mission to the base.
They had a good time to attract the degenerates in the front, and then they had left some of them to shoot as the base guards, just ten-level genetic warriors.
Because only these centurion-level genetic warriors can easily deal with these not very strong degenerates, they can attract the degenerates in the fallen city, and they can return to the convoy alive and well.
However, when a centurion-level genetic warrior was attracting the fallen to chase after him, one of Chen Yong's bullets hit his calf, and immediately the person fell, and a group of degenerates behind him rushed towards him frantically, but fortunately, his teammates quickly took him away, and there was still no accident, but the owner of this shot was still found by them and took brutal revenge.
Chen Yong touched the bruises on his body, and he still had palpitations, the genetic warrior almost killed him, but fortunately he had the physical fitness of a genetic warrior, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have died a long time ago.
Shi Xing and the others didn't stop the venting of that gene at that time, not to mention that they couldn't beat it, and the extreme fear that others were almost killed by the fallen should indeed teach him a lesson to Chen Yong.
"Those hunters are so nice." Jiang Rong, who rarely spoke, looked at the people who had been busy walking through the convoy, and was a little envious, because of the orders issued by the higher-ups, they could not get out of the car and walk unless they needed to complete the task of clearing out the degenerates.
"Jiang Rong, if I were you, I wouldn't think so." Huang Gang also looked out of the car, but had a different opinion.
The people in Shixing's station are now all in a van, and there is not much space left in this car, and their task is to carry it with them, and there are several large trucks in the team, which are responsible for loading.
"Captain, isn't it?"
"Hehe, you only see those here, do you know their opening in the distance?"
"Open the way?"
"You don't know and don't blame you, don't you know that we have been in the Fallen City for a few days."
"yes, we've met those degenerates, they're really crazy, or we're very well armed." Chen Yong also said with palpitations that Shi Xing was also here, firing his first shot at the mutant creature.
"The Fallen City, a total of more than a million degenerates, the ones we encountered, but only a drop in the ocean, don't you know where those large numbers of degenerates have gone?" Huang Gang looked at Jiang Rong playfully, stroking a silver-white firearm in his hand.
The blazing pistol, which is a light-charged weapon, is a very expensive high-tech product, as long as there is sunlight, then the bullets in this pistol are inexhaustible, and the bullets fired are far more dangerous than the reloading rifle in the hands of the moon power.
However, this kind of weapon also needs some relationships before it can be purchased, and it also has the function of fingerprint recognition, if it is used by people who do not have the correct fingerprint, then the weapon will also lock itself and cannot be used.
"Cleaned up by the Liberty Guys?" This Chen Yong was not shocked, and interjected in disbelief.
"Ahem." Shi Xing was drinking water, and he was thundered by Chen Yong's words.
"We have a maximum of a few hundred people here, and there are millions of Fallen, if the Fallen were so easy to solve, the planet would have been safe a long time ago." Huang Gang and the others began to have a headache about this Chen Yong's IQ.
"How did those hunters do that?" Chen Yong was fortunate to react and asked reflexively.
"How did I know, it's not the first time I've traveled so far to do a mission." Huang Gang said this, and clenched the blazing pistol in his hand, he also felt unsafe in this fallen city at all times.
Shi Xing looked at the scene outside, and also looked at what was going on around him all the time, although there were people from the free organization who were scouting outside, but Shi Xing still felt very unsafe, in his consciousness, the Fallen City was a nightmare in her grandmother's life, his grandmother had experienced that era, and she had explained many things to Yueli about surviving in the Fallen City.
The rifle in Shi Xing's hand is also held in his hand at all times, no matter who is in this kind of city that is no longer my race, he will not feel safe, and the appearance of these degenerates is very similar to their human beings.
"Captain Huang Gang, do you know what the items we need to carry back to the base this time?" Shi Xing asked Huang Gang, he has always been very well-informed.
"It's not the wreck of a battleship from a long time ago, and I don't know when it was a battleship that existed on the beach." Huang Gang is still clear about the goal this time.
"The wreckage of the battleship, the aircraft carrier, I remember that they were all battleships at sea eighty years ago, do you still need such backward battleship materials now?" Shixing's school still has pictures and texts for this kind of thing.
"I don't know, but I've heard that people from the base often go there to disassemble materials, and it's said that the battleship is very special."
At that time, warships only referred to military weapons on the sea, but now the water source on the planet has become unavailable, and the fallen city on the coast is actually only a city connected to a large lake, which is said to have been a sea a few decades ago.
Until now, there has been no kind of interstellar warship that can travel in the air or in outer space, so for that kind of large warship, they all think it is an "old antique" in the past.
"This fallen city, when there are no degenerates, is still very beautiful." Shixing looked at these high-rise buildings and felt how happy people lived decades ago.
But looking at the slightly rotten corpses on the street, and the brown blood stains, there is a touch of human sorrow, everything is the unknown meteorite landing.
"When will this planet return to the hands of our human beings?" A very heroic ideal floated through Shixing's heart.
"Do you know where the wreck is?" Several people looked at Huang Gang, obviously he still knew about that place.
"Of course, before this mission, I organized an escort team to check it, but this time so many people went directly to carry it together, and they must have found some items that the base needs."
"Did you find anything?" Shi Xing looked out the window, it was still daytime, and the convoy in this city was moving slowly, but it had been a few days, and it should have crossed the city quickly.
"There's a fallen ahead, get your weapons ready!" The pager in their car alerted the convoy ahead, and they grabbed their weapons and quickly got out of the car.
The Fallen don't have much intelligence, but their sense of hearing and smell is very strong, and when they see a human being, they will attack wildly, hiding in the car, which will only make the car destroyed by those Fallen.
The strength of the fallen is also similar to that of the genetic warriors, and the genetic warriors of the ten-man level can deform the iron with one punch, not to mention these crazy degenerates.
These Fallen are social creatures, and it is not uncommon for two Fallen to be together, but only when they are full, in order to satisfy their hunger, they will still devour their own kind.
"Da Da Da!" A blood-red degenerate walked into Shi Xing's line of sight, except for blood-red eyes and a sloppy body, he was indeed the same as a human being.
Shi Xing also aimed his weapon there, but did not shoot.
"Bang!" Deafening gunshots rang out, and the people in the convoy, some of them had already fired shots, and they shot their heads directly, and the degenerate who appeared died like this.
Shi Xing heard the sound of this gun very clearly, it was fired by Chen Yong, and he had never seen this guy's marksmanship so accurate.
"Haha, you laughed at me before for not daring to shoot these mutated degenerates, now take it, right?" Chen Yong's expression was still a little proud.
"Idiot!" They were all in the same station, and now they all said to Chen Yong, including Shi Xing, seven people.
"Who shot it!" The people in the team, shouting, this is only a degenerate, let the genetic warrior take a knife can solve it, and now the shots are fired, and the loud gunshots will attract a large number of degenerates to rush over.
"Hurry up, go full speed, and get out of this fallen city!" This order came out of the car, and all the hunters who were originally organized freely outside the car also got into the car, and the convoy also sprinted directly at full speed.
"Am I in trouble?" Chen Yong looked at everyone's expressions that became very serious, and said weakly, but no one paid attention to him now.
In the past, the mutant degenerates were all to clear the way for the driving of the car, and they had to be killed, or they were cleaned up on a large scale, but at that time, the convoy was cleaned up by the genetic warriors first, or after luring those degenerates away, the convoy was driven over.
The purpose is also to prevent the car from being damaged, and their task is to carry items, and without the vehicle, their carrying task cannot be carried out.
Shi Xing looked at these people, and suddenly, a strange feeling stirred up from the depths of his heart.
His name is indeed Shi Xing, but he, what he is doing now, is not him, Shi Xing has special powers, he has telekinesis!
Here, he didn't, it was all the wreckage of the battleship, and in Shi Xing's mind, the images he thought of were consistent with the wreckage of the battleship that Bagh showed him, and his memories began to intertwine in confusion.
"Click!"
A metal arm, falling into the sky, Shi Xing lost his strength, he could only look at him and snatch himself away, this is an illusion, his consciousness is still in the virtual network, the purple crystal, but this time, after Shi Xing broke open his eyes, he saw a reduced version of the purple crystal, it, and the iron armor soldier, are all standing by Shi Xing's side.
"Permission Activation."
