Chapter 570: Cockroaches Are Useful?

According to the predetermined contact method, the 'mutant' leader Frank finally joined up with the 'zombie' Bill with the remnants of his men. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the two groups met again, they were surprised by what happened to each other.

After Frank returned, without saying a word, he grabbed a radiation cockroach on the ground, tore off its head with all his might, and began to gnaw on the flesh of the mutated creature. The men who came back with it did the same, desperately replenishing food and eating and drinking.

Bill, 'Zombie', is silent about allies eating their own radiant cockroaches. It wasn't until the other party had eaten enough that it slowly said, "You guys were being pursued?" ”

"Yes." The stout Frank urn sighed, sat on a fallen tree trunk, touched a dozen bullet holes on his body, and said angrily: "The opponent is very strong, I have lost two companions, and it will take at least ten days to recover from my injuries." You seem to have lost a lot of money. ”

"Yes, only half of my men escaped with me, and the rest were killed by which heavy artillery in the stronghold." The skeletal-faced 'zombie' Bill didn't sigh, didn't frustrate, just stated the facts, "That stronghold should have been reinforced in the past two days, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a big defeat." ”

"My companion alerted me before he died, and it said that we had encountered the captain of the Aurora Legion." Frank said, though he wasn't sure about the news.

"Aurora Legion? Legion Commander? Bill was surprised, "It's the one named Victor. Hugo's guys? How did he come to us? ”

A bunch of mutant humans looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on?

And at this moment, in the place where the 'mutants' were attacked, Zhou Qingfeng and more than 20 of his subordinates were carefully surveying the battlefield. They attempted to reconstruct the battle scene that had just taken place, and to assess in detail the combat capabilities of the 'mutants'.

"We lost four dead and two wounded. They are all casualties caused by the failure to suppress the opponent in the process of firefighting, or being suppressed by the opponent. ”

"Six mutants, all armed with large guns and heavy weapons. Based on the items left on the scene, each mutant can carry at least one hundred and fifty kilograms of loads to fight. ”

"These guys are still very good at maneuvering in the field with such a high load. The battle was brave, tenacious, and fought in a very orderly manner, and the cooperation was very good. Dare to fight, full of sacrificial spirit. ”

"They retreated so quickly that we couldn't catch up. And I suspect that they are also very self-healing, and they don't care at all about many fatal injuries for ordinary people. ”

"Last but not least, the point two-two-three rifle rounds we're using now don't kill mutants. Their bodies are so strong, their muscles and bones are extremely solid, several times more than normal humans. ”

Caterina was responsible for recording, summarizing, and reporting, and Zhou Qingfeng frowned at the current situation. He almost gave up his plan to enter Baltimore, and if the mutants in the city were so brave, it would be a death to rush in.

"Gather the bodies of these two mutants and our soldiers, and wait for the transport plane to come and bring them back to Havana. It's time to take a closer look at what to do with these mutant humans. Zhou Qingfeng ordered on the radio to transfer dozens of people from the stronghold overnight to clean up the battlefield.

It was tossed and turned all night until dawn.

When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the stronghold, the sky had just shone brightly. There was still a smell of gunsmoke outside the base. On the ground were a large number of radiation cockroaches that had been destroyed by artillery fire, and some of these mutated giant insects were not yet dead, and they trembled a few times from time to time.

The people who followed Zhou Qingfeng as a lookout post on the fence were all dead, either killed by snipers outside the stronghold or killed by bugs.

In addition, last night's fighting, which lasted less than 20 minutes, killed and wounded more than 30 people in the stronghold. Some of them were killed by the radiation cockroaches, and most of them were killed by the butcher's warlords.

More than 5 percent of the casualties in the stronghold and more than 10 percent of the casualties in the squads took a huge toll on morale overall. Especially the residents of the stronghold, when they collected the corpses, they all seemed to have lost their souls, and they were weak.

But when they saw Zhou Qingfeng come back, these guys finally recovered some of their morale. One by one, they stood up straight, looking at their new leader, as if waiting to receive orders.

However, what really revitalized the colony was the appearance of two 'mutant' corpses. Seeing that this terrible monster was actually defeated and carried back, the residents in the stronghold couldn't help but talk about it.

"Oh my God, this is a mutant."

"It's really scary, you see their heads are so ugly, just like the orcs in a fantasy novel."

"I heard that this kind of monster is not afraid of bullets at all, and it is an extremely terrifying existence."

"Our new leader doesn't seem to have brought many people with him, and he dared to chase him out overnight after being attacked, and he also killed all the mutants."

"God, we have at last a merciful and powerful leader. That's really good news. ”

If yesterday by giving food and killing the old leader, Zhou Qingfeng showed his generous and kind side, then the results of this night's battle show that he is still a strong and capable leader. Under the combination of grace and power, the remaining people in the stronghold were more convinced and cohesive towards Zhou Qingfeng.

"Sir, should we collect these radiant cockroaches?" Some residents had the courage to suggest to Zhou Qingfeng.

"Want to stock up on these bugs as food?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the battlefield, there were three or four hundred radiation cockroaches that had been killed, scattered all over the place, "It's good to clean it up, if you can eat it, use it as a meat reserve." ”

Zhou Qingfeng understood that any food was extremely valuable now, and took it for granted that the residents were hungry. The resident who could make the suggestion hurriedly said, "Sir, these radiation cockroaches are a huge fortune, and it would be too wasteful to use them as food." ”

"Oh?" These words made Zhou Qingfeng very curious, "What is the use of these giant insects?" ”

"The meat of the radiation cockroach is very nutritious, but the key is that there are some special glands in its body with very magical medicinal value, which have a miraculous effect on the healing of many injuries. The Brotherhood of Steel has been paying high prices for a whole radiant roach in exchange for a hundred kilograms of flour. ”

"Really?" The words of the residents of the stronghold simply opened up a new world for Zhou Qingfeng, and he asked in surprise: "Are you sure this thing can be used as medicine?" ”

"We're pretty sure it's really expensive. However, because radiation cockroaches are always active in groups, it is very difficult to catch one, such as the number of three or four hundred in front of me, which has never been seen. If it is reported in a centralized manner, the Brotherhood of Steel will even send a special helicopter to transport it away. ”

After listening to such descriptions, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but think: Could it be that I made another profit? If this thing really has a healing effect, Lao Tzu will not give it to the Brotherhood of Steel. (To be continued.) )
