Chapter 43: Monsters
"Was this place inhabited before?" Mei, Zha, Sha and others looked at the ruins on both sides of the street covered with vegetation, and were a little surprised, from these traces of the broken walls, they could still see the appearance of what used to be residential buildings, but the architectural style was very different.

"Of course." Scott looked up at the ruins around him and said, "This was the place where our ancestors used to live, but it was invaded by disasters and is now desolate. However, there are still things left here that our ancestors once lived, and our role is to bring them back and hand them over to the foundation. ”
"Where the ancestors live......" Hearing Scott's words, Macon and the others were a little amazed and excited, and looked at everything around them curiously.
Dudian saw a parchment map in Scott's hand, and looked around the gap between his arms, only to see that the map depicted a crooked route, and in the center was a huge boxy pattern, with the words "Sylvia Giant Wall" written on it, and outside this huge wall, there were irregular circles outlined by curved lines, marked with numbers one after another.
"Zero, No. 1 ......" Du Dian glanced at it a few times, and found that the numbers were repeated, and there were six or seven in the zero area alone, but these signs and circles were outlined in different colors, like a rainbow.
Scott saw that Dudian was observing the map, and smiled: "This is the scavenging map outside the giant wall, after the hunters of each consortium sweep out of the area, they will mark and divide the territory, like the area of our Mellon consortium, all marked with red lines and handwriting, other green, yellow, are all from other consortiums, there is a record on the back of the map, green represents the military department, and yellow is the Huasheng consortium." ”
Dudian nodded slightly, he had already guessed this when he saw these circles with different colors, and asked, "What is the gray area outside?" ”
"This is a place that the hunters have not yet swept out." Scott's smile was slightly retracted, and he said seriously: "You must not step into these gray areas, it is extremely dangerous in them, even hunters may die." ”
"Dangerous?" Du Dian was a little curious and said, "What is the danger?" ”
"Monsters!" Scott said softly.
Dudy Anxin jumped, monster?
At this time, Scott passed a corner, and there was still a traffic light on the street here, but it was already covered with vegetation and entwined with many vines, so it was not collected by the scavengers.
"Up ahead is District Eight." Scott looked at the street in front of this corner, which was still in ruins, but because of its proximity to the center of the city, there was less vegetation, and a large number of ruins and collapsed houses were all revealed, and the desolate streets were full of devastation caused by the aftermath of the earthquake, and the streets were cracked, and there were many traces of deep craters on the ground that resembled small meteorites.
"Be careful, everybody." Scott's expression became solemn, he pulled out the short sword on his waist, and said: "Area 8 is the area that the hunter has just cleared, we are the second group to enter here, although the harvest will be very rich, but it is also very likely to encounter some residual small monsters, don't be attacked by them, otherwise you will be infected by demons." ”
Dudian and Macon and the other newcomers couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and they took out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands, scanning their surroundings vigilantly and the fluffy vegetation near the street.
As he followed Scott into the middle of the street, Dudian saw a new wooden sign on the side of the road, with a blood-red "Eight" inscription written on it, indicating that the front was the Mellon consortium's District Eight.
Du Dian looked at it, the street in front of him was obviously not cleaned, and he could vaguely see a lump of green vegetation, judging from the outline, most of the vegetation under the vegetation were scrapped cars, his heart jumped slightly, if there is a car, there is naturally a generator, although more than 300 years have passed, under the burning of this disaster rain and ultraviolet rays, these things have long been reduced to scrap metal, but maybe some well-preserved parts can be found!
Scott said in a low voice: "Under these green vegetation, there are some large materials, and when we return, we will find a way to bring them back, first find a place to live in, as the base camp for these ten days, and then search for materials separately." As he spoke, he walked straight past the scrapped cars covered in greenery.
Du Dian and the others and the twenty scavengers of the consortium followed closely, and when everyone walked away, no one noticed that in the window of one of the cars covered with thick vegetation, a pale and withered hand stretched out in vain, struggling, grabbing the people who had already gone away!
……
……
At the end of the street, there is an intersection, with collapsed streetlights on the ground, and huge billboards, albeit covered with vegetation. Scott looked up, picked a slightly intact three-story building, and said, "Let's go here, first clean up the materials inside and gather them." With that, he led the team to the three-story building first.
"Ahh In vain, an exclamation rang out, it was a girl at the back of Dudian's team, she pointed to the ground at the entrance of this building in horror, and trembled: "Blood, blood! ”
Everyone looked at the ground, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, although it had dried up, but judging from the color, it was obviously newly left recently, after all, under the washing of the rain, it was difficult to keep the blood stains on the ground for too long.
Dudian's face changed slightly, thinking of the monster Scott had said earlier, and subconsciously grabbed the black powder pinned to his waist.
When the other children saw the blood on the ground, they became nervous.
Scott frowned and said: "What's all the fuss, I said, there are monsters in these places, this is obviously the blood left by the hunter when he killed the monsters, don't be surprised in the future, rookie!" "He is obviously not as patient with the other rookie scavengers as he is with Dudian.
Mia, who was next to him, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the building, the door was glassy, but the glass had long been shattered, it seemed to be a shop, although the vegetation spread all over the walls inside, a simple layout and a few counter-like things could still be seen.
Dudian followed Scott in, only to see a thick layer of dust piling up on the floor and walls of the dilapidated shop, which had accumulated over a long period of time and had long since dried and hardened like a layer of dirt.
Scott used the handle of the short sword to remove the vegetation on the counter, only to see that in the glass cabinet inside, there were some dusty gold jewelry, Scott's eyes lit up, and he immediately smashed the glass with the hilt of the sword, grabbed the jewelry inside, wiped off the dust on it with his clothes, revealing a golden luster, he bit it with his teeth, and his face showed surprise again.
Du Dian watched silently, knowing that if he picked up this batch of jewelry, he would most likely get an extremely generous additional commission, after all, these gold jewelry were the favorite of nobles.
