Chapter Forty-Four: The Dead
"It's gold!" Macon, Zach, and the others also noticed the ornaments on the counter, and their faces showed a little excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Scott heard the words of several people, smiled, turned back lightly, and said: "Let me explain first, although everyone is a group, the materials picked up are all counted separately, this has always been the rule, they know this very well, but I didn't deliberately bully you." As he spoke, Nu pointed to the twenty scavengers.
Hearing this, Macon's face changed, and they turned their heads to look, only to see a thin young man led by the twenty consortium scavengers nodding and saying: "Yes, the materials picked up are all based on their abilities, so don't want to be lazy, whoever is lucky and picks up more is considered capable." ”
Hearing this, Macon and the others were immediately a little depressed, there is no doubt that the gold jewelry here was found by Scott first, and it was naturally his materials, and they couldn't get half of the commission.
When Du Dian heard this rule, he was also a little disappointed in his heart, but he quickly cheered up again, this rule is actually fair to their newcomers, with the protection of this rule, at least the materials they picked up will not be shared by others, and it is just a foothold that Scott is lucky enough to choose at random, which happens to be a gold shop, and he makes a lot of money.
At this time, Scott smashed all the glass on the cabinet, took out all the ornaments inside, and piled them up in one of the cabinets, then clenched the short sword again, and said, "Go upstairs and have a look first, and clean it up." Speaking of this, he remembered something, and turned back to Du Dian and the others: "The materials that everyone has picked up, others had better not try to steal or use other dirty methods to seize them, if the owner of the materials dies in the process of picking up, the materials he picked up will only belong to the consortium and will not be shared." ”
Dudian knew that he was warning them not to be consumed by the desire for profit and use some crooked brains, but at the same time, he secretly appreciated that the consortium had set such a rule, which indeed greatly prevented the scavengers from killing each other in the wilderness.
After hearing Scott's words, the faces of the children standing at the end changed, and they grabbed their weapons and followed the group.
Scott and Mia lead the way up the stairs.
The vegetated stairway had finger-thick cracks, and there were things scattered on the ground, and although they were covered with heavy dust and vegetation, Dudian recognized at a glance that it was a woman's shoes and wallet, as if they were silently telling of the riots that had taken place here.
Bang, in vain, the stairs stepped on by a middle-aged man of a consortium scavenger collapsed, and his whole person also fell and fell to the ground, fortunately this is only the first floor, and he has been blessed with a physique, and he has not been injured, but this sudden movement scared everyone else.
Scott glanced back, frowned, and said, "Be careful." After speaking, he came to the second floor first, the light here was extremely dim, the corridor was pitch black, the ventilated windows had long been covered with vegetation, the sunlight could not penetrate in, and the inside was damp and dark.
Scott took out the scythe he was carrying, lit a torch, the dim light shone around, he walked in front of the torch, came to the first room in front of the corridor, only to see the door of the room ajar, Scott gently pushed the door open, and suddenly a cold wind blew out of the room, almost extinguishing the torch.
Scott lowered the torch a little, and with the other sword in hand, slowly entered the room, only to see that the floor was in a mess, the chairs had fallen to the ground, the curtains were half torn down, the windows were broken, and there was dense vegetation outside.
Click!
In vain, from the depths of the room, a slight voice was heard.
Scott's face changed, and he immediately raised the torch to shine it, only to see that in the bathroom in the room, the curtain of the bathroom collapsed on the ground, and two pale and dry thighs stretched out from the bathroom, and as his torch shone, he immediately saw that the owner of the thigh was actually a woman whose face was completely rotten, and the slight voice came from her chest.
There, there was a huge black rat lying on its stomach, gnawing at the woman's breasts.
Dudian saw this scene from the gap in Scott's arm, his pupils suddenly constricted, this mouse was the size of a hound, its whole body was thick with dark hair, exuding a strong rancid smell, and its tail was as thick as an adult's fingers, and it was gnawing at human corpses with relish!
"It's a monster!" Scott was the first to react, roared, and slashed away with his sword!
The giant rat that was eating the woman noticed the fire behind it, and it turned its head to look, its eyes were blood-red and full of violence, its sharp mouth was stained with sticky blood, and several extremely long whiskers fluttered slightly, and it seemed to notice that there were more people on Scott's side, and its body paused, and suddenly it turned and ran towards the bathroom, stepping on the bathtub and jumping out of the window.
At this point, Scott and Mia's attacks all failed, and they looked at each other with trepidation.
At this time, Macon and the others in the back also noticed the movement, and when they heard Scott's words, they all gathered around.
Scott whispered, "Escaped." Then he put down the torch and shone on the dead woman, who seemed to be blind, and glared at him, her pupils were pale green.
"It stinks." Macon covered his nose and said.
Dudian had forgotten to breathe, and his heart was full of shock, could it be that under three hundred years of nuclear radiation, the mice living here have been passed down from generation to generation, and the genes have been mutated so terrifyingly?
His gaze fell on this woman, the other party was naked, the bathroom curtain was covered on his body, the stiff flesh on his chest had been eaten very deeply by the mouse, half of his heart had been bitten off, and he could see the ribs mixed in the dry hard flesh, however, his gaze fell on the center of the other party's eyebrows, where there was a finger-thick bloody hole, which seemed to be ...... Shot by a bullet?
Du Dian was stunned for a moment, and then vetoed the possibility of a bullet, but it was more like the damage caused by a bow and arrow, after all, the power of the bullet can cause obvious tears and destruction of the flesh around the bullet hole.
It's just that what he can't understand is that if this woman dies with a bow and arrow, it will die at the hands of a human being, who will shoot her with a bow and arrow? In vain, he thought of the point he had overlooked, and suddenly the hairs on his whole body stood up!
This woman is obviously bathing!
However, the water supply system in this house should have broken down a long time ago!
Regardless of whether the other party is a scavenger or a hunter, they will never be unable to stand the fact that they will not be able to bathe for ten days, and most importantly, people in this world rarely strip naked and wash like this!
"Difficult, could it be that she was a human being three hundred years ago? Died in the shower? But if so...... Her body should have decomposed a long time ago! Dudian was a little stunned, and then Mia suddenly squatted down, as if she didn't want this woman to die in the wilderness and still expose her body, and lifted the curtain on her body slightly, covering her whole body. However, when mentioning it, Dudian inadvertently saw that the woman's arm was ...... It's a sharp claw!
The nails turned into sharp and long thorns, and the five spikes were slightly curved, and it was hard to imagine how much damage it would cause to be held by such a hand!
"Mutated people?" Dudian was speechless in a daze, and his mind became a little confused.
