Chapter 1: The Hunter
Late at night.
The dilapidated streets were littered with scrap metal car frames, and in the distance, with a howl of "hum chirp", a huge figure crashed into the scrap metal on the street.
"Boom-"
The black shadow was so strong that it slammed the smaller frame of the car into the air. Some crashed into other car frames, and some crashed into storefronts on both sides of the street, creating a chaotic scene.
And as the frames flew into the storefronts, and after a boom, smaller humanoid shadows ran out of the storefronts, but instead of running out onto the street, they jumped into the storefront next door. I don't know how long these storefronts have been deserted, the doors and windows are already dilapidated, and it is easy for those dark shadows to enter.
In the distance of the street, behind the great black shadow, a point of light approached.
In the dark of the night, that point of light stood out.
It was a heavily armed man in a black camouflage uniform. The light source was shining from his helmet, and although the light was not strong, it was not a problem for him to see objects within twenty meters.
He stopped, removed the rope gun from the box on his right arm, and aimed at the huge black shadow in front of him—
Bang –
The head of the spear, similar to the shark trap, flew out of the muzzle, dragged a steel cable from the box on his right arm, and flew forward with a "shuttle shuttle" sound.
"Poof—"
The spear shot into the back of the huge black shadow, causing the huge black shadow to wail in pain.
The man pressed the box on his arm a few times, and the dark purple liquid poured into the tubular steel cable, injecting into the body of the huge black shadow.
The man quickened his pace for a while, stepped on a car frame and jumped up, jumping directly on top of the huge black shadow from eight meters away, and his left hand with a silver-white mechanical glove was raised, and a saber about 60 centimeters long shot out from the back of his hand, and stabbed into the back of the neck of the huge black shadow with a "poof".
The huge black shadow struggled for a while, and then lost its breath. After the man was sure that the huge black shadow was dead, he withdrew his saber and raised his right hand, and after a sound of "Suo Suo Suo Suo", the steel rope and the head of the spear were retracted into the box in his right hand.
It's not as quiet as you think, but if you listen closely, you can hear the small sound of rustling in the surrounding shops.
The man frowned, looked up at the dark sky, and said in his heart that there would be half an hour before dawn at most, and he had to leave this ruined city quickly, otherwise when the day dawned, as soon as the mutant beasts resting in the ruined city recovered, it would not be so easy to leave.
Thinking of this, the man turned over and jumped off the back of the huge black shadow, took out a roll of steel cable from his backpack and tied up the huge black shadow, and then tied the rope to his right shoulder.
In front of a pickup truck at the entrance of the city, the man dragged the huge black shadow halfway onto the pickup truck, and then fixed it to the pickup truck with a steel cable.
By this time, the sky was already faintly bright, and the light that appeared in the clouds could already be seen clearly, and the huge black shadow before was actually a giant wild boar more than twice the size of a pickup truck. The man who captured the giant boar was nothing more than a boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a black camouflage uniform, a black tactical helmet, a silver-white mechanical arm glove on his left hand, a black leather glove on his right hand, and a rectangular box on his arm, near the end of the back of his hand, with three different types of gun heads exposed. On the top of the box, a launcher is fixed, which is obviously used to fire the gun head in the box.
The young man glanced back at the abandoned street, and with the appearance of light in the sky, he saw "people" walking out of the storefronts on both sides. The men were wearing no clothes, they didn't have any hair on them, their blackened skin, some of which were covered with fist-sized pus, and some of which were festering on half of their bodies, quickly gathered together and walked in the direction of the pickup truck.
"Food...... There was food there......"
These people are called infected and are "humans" whose antibodies are unable to defend against alien viruses and thus become infected with the virus. Judging by the level of decay in their bodies, they are already Level 3 infected, their intelligence has been severely degraded, they have been banished from the newly created land of order of the human race, and then gathered in this ruined city to hunt down the humans who "pass by" and those weak mutant beasts to survive.
During the day, they are the same as mutant beasts, they have the same function as the mutant beasts, and their abilities are more than three to four times that of ordinary adult men, both in strength and speed, but at night, they are also the same as mutant beasts, and they are sleepy and become weaker than ordinary humans, plus they only have the intelligence of children close to five or six years old, so even if they are large, they are not much of a threat to humans.
However, the young man single-handedly did not think of provoking them, and while they were still far away, he hurriedly started the pickup truck and drove out of the city.
And the infected obviously didn't intend to let him go, and walked behind, walking and walking, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and they were walking faster and faster.
By daylight, they were three or four times faster than before, and many of the infected were running on all fours like wild beasts.
The speed of the pickup truck dragging the giant wild boar was limited, and seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, the young man held the steering wheel in one hand and took out a white mechanical disc from his backpack with the other, and threw it out of the window—
"Da-"
The white mechanical disc fell to the ground, spun rapidly, and then sprayed clouds of white smoke from above, and the infected ran into the smoke, quickly attracted by the smell of the smoke, and jumped and danced excitedly as if they had been stimulated in the smoke.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, the teenager also drove away in a pickup truck.
…………
…………
500 years ago, a meteorite carrying an alien virus struck Earth......
500 years later, inside the walls is a new order established by humans, and beyond the walls is a wilderness infested by mutant beasts......
Trapped within high walls, human technology is constantly regressing, and in order to resist the gradually evolving mutant beasts, scientists have extracted genetic potions from mutant beasts that can strengthen humans. Humans who use genetic drugs not only have significantly improved their functions, but also can master the "abilities" of mutant beasts by perfectly fusing the genes of mutant beasts, and thus, a new profession was born-
They have mastered the art of hunting mutant beasts,
They walked in the midst of a dangerous wilderness,
They are the second "high wall" of human beings against mutant beasts,
Whenever darkness fell, they raised their weapons to the mutants who were about to sleep—
They are - hunters!
However, only two or three out of 10,000 humans can withstand the mutant beast genes, and even fewer can perfectly fuse the mutant beast genes.
The hunter divides the mutant beast into 10 levels, lv1-lv3 is the hunting level, lv4-lv6 is the hunting level, lv7-lv8 is the alien beast level, lv9 is the fierce beast level, and lv10 is the extinction level.
There have been 13 extinction-level mutant beast attacks in history, and these 13 attacks are known as the "Thirteen Weeks of Destruction" by humans, and each week represents the removal of a high-walled city from the earth.
Hunters are also divided into ranks, which are divided into Bronze Hunter, Silver Hunter, Gold Hunter, Star Hunter, and Supreme Hunter. The stronger the level of the mutant beast injected with the genetic potion, the higher the hunter's achievement. At present, there are 7 Supreme Hunters in Huaxia District, and three of them belong to an organization called "Aristocrats".
Zhang Shuo, the teenager who single-handedly hunted the lv2 hunting level mutant beast giant boar last night, is also a hunter. However, he is an unrated "Revenant".
A few hours later, the pickup truck pulled to a stop under a high wall, which is a well-deserved "high wall", about 300 meters high, and spreads out in a circle to both sides. Among the high walls is a bustling city, the sixth largest city in Huaxia District - Yaoguang City.
Hundreds of years ago, after the outbreak of the nuclear war between humans and mutant beasts, the word "state" became history, and with the appearance of high walls, a new order of human beings was established, and they no longer called themselves "countries", but became autonomous "cities".
Every city has its own administrator, and the largest city in the Chinese region, Dawn, is a city ruled by "aristocrats" who call themselves "new humans".
The third and fifth largest cities in Huaxia District are affiliated cities of "Dawn", and in short, half of the cities in Huaxia District are in the hands of "nobles".
The second, fourth, and sixth cities were reluctant to accept the administration of the "nobility" and formed alliances against the nobility.
This dazzling city is in the hands of the organization headed by the "general" - the "military department".
Zhang Shuo drove a pickup truck to a stop under a high wall, and a moment later, a monitor on the high wall projected a screen, and a middle-aged man in a black uniform appeared on the screen.
"Stop, please show your entry card or hunter number."
Zhang Shuo stretched out his left hand from the window, his index finger moved, and a small projection appeared on the back of the silver mechanical glove, on which was Zhang Shuo's ID.
"Wait a minute."
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the monitor projected two light sources, one scanning Zhang Shuo's documents and the other scanning his face.
[The scan has been completed, confirming the hunter ID: VJ67******56, name: Zhang Shuo.] Class: Hunter. Level: Wilderness. Qualifications to enter the city: Yes. 】
"Release." After the middle-aged man on the screen finished speaking, with a "crunch" sound of gear turning, the wall in front of the pickup truck slowly opened to the sides, revealing a metal channel.
Zhang Shuo drove the car into the metal passage and drove for five or six minutes before passing through the "high wall" and entering the city of Yaoguang. Coming to the border city, Zhang Shuo parked his pickup truck in front of a store called "Hunter 1979".
Zhang Shuo was about to push the door in, and a slightly obese middle-aged man inside laughed and came out first: "Hey, hey, isn't this our hunter supernova Zhang Shuo's brother, I believe you must have completed this mission perfectly!" Let me see your prey, brother! This is the largest spiny yak boar I've ever seen, and this one is sure to sell for a good price! 3000 tokens? No, no, no, it may even be sold for 5,000 coins! ”
