Chapter 6: Prey
As the gate of the research institute opened, a golden armor, covered with ammunition chains, and a few boxes in her hand, walked out, and then saw her turn around and say to a dwarf bean on the ground, "Wait for me to come back." Orlando nodded vigorously and stood in the doorway, watching the gate slowly close and the big golden creature disappear behind the gate.
There are still scattered zombie monsters roaming the streets, and the density is significantly less than in the previous two days. Nataya hasn't been idle for the past two days, and now she's used to the power and explosiveness of power armor. Carrying the chain to the underside of the sentry tower, he opened the magazine, snapped the new chain onto the empty chain, and closed the magazine.
The moment she closed the magazine, the Sentinel Tower suddenly turned to her, a red light swept over the "Identity Scanner, Federation Soldier" and then turned around, and the sound of "Bang Bang Bang" that she hadn't heard for two days resounded through the streets again. Nataya only reacted at this time, and she almost lost her life just now... It turns out that this power mecha has been successfully registered.,Even if you enter the federal army system.。。。 It's too easy.
Nataya felt like she was playing as if she were playing with each other, and swapped out the bullet chain of the other Sentinel Tower. These new boxes of bullet chains are enough to use for a while, but anyway, there are many like mountains in the warehouse, so it's better to move them all out, and kill as many monsters as you can kill, there were a lot of living people in this settlement before.
The golden iron pimple was moved from morning to afternoon, and when it was moved to the last box, even Nataya, who was wearing power armor, couldn't bear it, even if there was a power amplification system, it didn't mean that he could not do anything at all, in fact, even if all the operations were not loaded, it was not something that an adult could afford to pose for a day, let alone such a small girl.
When she had put all the bullet chains together, the golden armor that had closed the door to the institute sat down on the ground, the cuirass opened, and Nataya rolled down, and then she formed a big word, lying on the ground unwilling to move.
"Sister, eat" Orlando, who was wearing a small bib, grabbed a box containing semi-fluid synthetic food and approached Nataya. Orlando has a complete talent for eating, and it only took half a day to learn to throw all sorts of things into the food synthesizer, and then wait for the organic matter to be extracted into food liquid from the extraction mouth.
Nataya struggled to sit up, took the lunch box brought by Orlando, scooped it with a spoon and put it in her mouth, and then spit it out with a "phew". "How many times have I told you not to put socks in them, I'd rather eat dirt" Nataya is going crazy, Orlando can't tell what ingredients can be made into food, as long as he can hold it, he will throw it into the food synthesizer. Although socks theoretically contain far more organic matter than earth, the strange smell really can't be eliminated by a single extraction.
Orlando timidly looked at Nataya, whose face was full of black lines, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the tears in his eyes began to roll "Wow~~", and the familiar cry that shook the sky and the earth appeared again, "Mom~~~~".
Nataya looked at the crying Orlando, there was no way at all, she didn't want to lose her temper, but she really couldn't help it, and she still regretted why she brought such a drag oil bottle, if it wasn't for finding such a power mecha that cut down trees, this child and herself would probably only be food for all kinds of monsters, the most important thing is that if you are outside, as long as the child cries, the piercing voice is tantamount to a monster summoning order...
Monster Summoning Order~ This thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Yes, that's it! Nataya picked up the crying Orlando and ran to the research institute's monitoring room, where she pointed the microphone into Orlando's grinning mouth.
"Woo wow~~~~~~~ woo wow~~~~~~" The sound of "Woo Wow Woo Wow" came from the loudspeaker of the institute and floated through the streets. A large number of remnant zombies converged on the Institute, and the Sentinel Tower, which was full of bullet chains, was working enthusiastically.
This scene lasted for two days, and Nataya finally couldn't hold on, not because of her physical strength, but because Orlando's cry was so penetrating that by the next day, Nataya's head was like hundreds of flies hovering.
"That's all for today" Nataya turned off the microphone, and Orlando was tired of crying, so she wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Then I can go and eat" "Go ahead, but I warn you, don't throw your socks in again!" Nataya viciously attacked Orlando, and Orlando turned around and ran away. For him, as long as he can eat, no matter how much grievance he has, it is not unbearable.
After two days of wolf-like efforts, judging from the monitoring of the outside of the research institute, there are almost no zombie people on the block, only mountains of corpses concentrated near the gate. Nataya was also familiar with the steps of those zombie people, and felt that their movement speed was not a problem at all for herself who was now wearing power armor.
After the gate opened, the dazzling sunlight shone in from outside, and Nataya looked down at the dwarf bean Ding Orlando and said, "Wait for me to come back", Orlando nodded, watching Nataya disappear into the gap between the door closing.
"Indicate the location of the spaceport" Nataya carefully walked around the pile of corpses and leaned against the corner of the wall towards the block. "Map projection complete, please follow the navigation to move forward" The helmet of the power armor shows Nataya's current location and the location of the spaceport, according to the map, the distance is only 2,3 kilometers, and it can be reached in five minutes if you go at full speed. However, in the current situation, it is better to be careful, and Nataya clings to the walls of every ruin and building, carefully discerning at the end of each block before quickly flashing to the next cover.
Five minutes away, it took her nearly half an hour to arrive, "It seems that the voice of that crybaby is really powerful" along the way Nataya, a zombie man has not been encountered, presumably the return journey can be very smooth, and you can also find a little delicious food along the way, those precious foods placed on the upper shelves are now not a problem regardless of height or weight, and then bring a better food synthesizer back... The sock-smelling synthetic food had made Nataya never want to touch it again.
While thinking about this, Nataya suddenly paused as she turned the last block, because she saw in the distance, the huge infected buildings of Laupastar Harbor were crawling with huge blood vessels, just like those zombie people. Just across the street, a block away, a six-legged bug with thin wings, about the height of his own armor, was watching him.
"Oops" I don't know if it's the sun, or the secretion of adrenaline, Nataya's sweat flowed from her immature forehead to her eyes and face, but she didn't feel hot at all, and even felt that her entire palms and backs were cold, shivering. That night, she had seen with her own eyes how people caught by the bugs were torn open and eaten, power armor to their sturdy shells like canned meatcakes.
Nataya froze, "Navigation, back to the institute, the nearest route" A map appeared on the helmet, and at the same time, Nataya saw the bug and leaned down on her upper body, her legs slowly arched.
"Maximize power" Nataya roared, as if to embolden herself, squatted down, and then quickly ejected behind her, at the same time, the six-legged jumping worm also bounced out, closely following Nataya, and the two shadows, one gold and one black, floated away like the wind one after the other.
What Nataya can do so far is to run desperately with this power armor, but without professional training, relying only on the speed generated by the power engine and adrenaline is not enough to erase the kinetic energy generated by the occasional wave of wings and the bounce of the thick hind legs of the big hopper.
The golden power armor can only run to the left and to the right for a while, and the jumping worm has already hit the air twice, and there will always be a little distance after each blow, and this distance makes Nataya desperate.
"Luck doesn't befall a person forever" These were the words on the lips of the damned elder of the orphanage, and every time this phrase appeared, Nataya would be unlucky, and today it came up again in her mind, because just when she had seen the overturned Sentinel Tower, the Hopper finally pounced on her, and stabbed a front paw into the chest of the Golden Armor, and just as the Hopper was about to open the can and eat the meat cake, the fire dragon sprayed from the Sentinel Tower also pierced its shell. Thankfully, Nataya's small body couldn't fill her chest cavity with power armor, so this fatal blow didn't make a hole in her chest. It's just that the front paw that was inserted into the golden mecha has been pierced deep into Nataya's thigh.
"My sister has been out for so long today, she should bring back a lot of delicious food" When Orlando stood in front of the open door, waiting for the big sister to come back, outside the open door was a golden armor carrying half of the corpse of a black bug, and this armor also had a thick black front paw stuck in its chest.
When the gates of the institute closed again, the hands of the golden power armor grabbed the insect's front paws and pulled them out with great force. Then the cuirass opened, and Orlando saw the big sister fall from the breastplate, and there was a hole in her right leg, and the hole was surrounded by black veins, exactly like the zombie people who had been killed outside...
