Chapter 343: Return to the Pit
In this gray and post-apocalyptic ruins, I am afraid that the only thing worth "glaring" about is that no matter how long you hide underground, you will not feel dazzling when you return to the "sun".
The dim light of the sky and the gray-white dirty snow saved the survivors from snow blindness, which is also a blessing in disguise, otherwise those "rats" who can't find dark sunglasses will have to face the end of blindness if they want to go out to pick up waste.
However, there are pros and cons to everything.
While the survivors kept their eyes, most of the alien beasts that were active on the ruins had surprisingly good eyesight.
Therefore, if the survivors want to walk in the ruins, in addition to covering up the body odor on their bodies, they must always be on guard against the prying eyes of strange beasts.
Some lone beasts often bury their bodies in the snow so that they can use the cover of dirty snow to ambush passing beasts, even zombies and humans.
Therefore, the inexperienced "rat", the slightest carelessness, will fall into its mouth.
And Wu Lin, as an experienced scavenger, the first thing he did after leading the wood out was to pick up the dirty snow and rub the clothes of the two of them carefully, even his hair and shoes.
When they went out this time, it was no longer as simple as going to the nearest camp or picking up waste in the "familiar land", but they had to cross most of the ruins, so Wu Lin was not allowed to appear in any details that might reveal their whereabouts.
After cleaning up the body odor of the two of them a little, she climbed a "ridge" with wood, and on the top of the potholed mountain, she bent down and observed for a long time, and then found a relatively "safe" snow trail and climbed down with her hands and feet.
The dirty snow-covered ruins, the scenery is very monotonous, as far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth, are all gray, even the snow forest growing in the ruins, is like rime, hung with gray-white crystals.
For this gray-white picture, Wu Lin has already seen no sense, but the wood is different, this time out, it can be said that he is completely conscious, the first time after he is completely awake, the first close observation of the ruins scene.
When he went out before, there was still a sluggishness and confusion in the eyes of the wood, but at this time, he was replaced by agility and curiosity.
Snow packets are connected from end to end, like rolling mountains, all the way to the end of the eye.
These piles of rubble, which were originally abandoned buildings, are covered with snow all year round, and at this moment, they seem to have really turned into snow-capped mountains.
This snow lotus-like plant, often called "snow cabbage" by scavengers, is an unknown plant that quietly grows after the end of winter.
There have been some hungry "rats" who have fed on these plants, but without exception, all of them have developed severe radiation sickness.
Since then, the scavengers have stayed away from these crystal clear snow cabbages.
Because before going out, he was repeatedly warned by Wu Lin, and when he saw the snow cabbage with a pleasant appearance, the wood immediately avoided it, because once this thing was touched, it would be contaminated with a special smell, and this smell would arouse the interest of some strange beasts.
For example, Storm Bear!
These huge guys love snow cabbage the most!
If anyone wants to hunt a violent bear, they can use snow cabbage as bait, but so far, Wu Lin has not heard of the idea of anyone daring to fight a violent bear!
Not to mention the adult violent bear, even if it is a cub that is only ten weeks old, the evolutionary with slightly weaker strength does not dare to provoke easily!
It took Wu Lin and Mu nearly half an hour to come to the northeast corner of the ruins, and at this time, a long series of messy footprints appeared in front of the two of them!
Mu stared at the footprints on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Didn't that merchant Lao Meng ask you about this place, could it be someone he sent?" ”
"Whoever it is, it's not good news for both of us!" Wu Lin shook his head and said.
"Can you tell how many of them there are?" Wood asked in a deep voice.
Wu Lin frowned, turned his head and said, "There are four people in total!" Two of them have a big stride and should not be short! ”
Hearing this, Wood patted the trap on his shoulder and whispered, "Kill them?" ”
Wu Lin knew that Mu Tou wanted to go to the giant pit with a deep obsession, and if he didn't fulfill his wish, he was afraid that he would not be able to walk on the road, so he compromised and said, "Let's bury the sleeve first, and then quietly bypass it, as for whether to move or not... See you when the time comes! ”
After half a ring, the two not only set up three covers, but also buried all the bedding, drink bottles and other miscellaneous items into the snow pit, carrying only two pointed iron rods, and lightly touched the direction of the giant pit.
After seven or eight days, the bottom of the giant crater, which was originally full of dry bones, has been covered with a thin layer of snow, and three busy figures are waving the tools in their hands at this time, rummaging through the huge crater, looking for valuable materials.
It was obviously not the first time they had been here, because at the bottom of the crater, not only could you see a large area of churning marks, but also a few places near the center, and there were many new pits half a meter deep.
With such a large amount of work, it is impossible for only three ordinary waste pickers to complete it in one or two days.
When Wu Lin and Mu came to the edge of the giant pit, they looked at the bottom of the pit, and their hearts suddenly sank!
Broken!
There are only three people at the bottom of the pit!
At this moment, Wu Lin suddenly felt a strong wind hit the back of his head!
Just listen to the sound of "dang"!
An iron rod the thickness of a thumb, when it was about to hit the back of Wu Lin's head, was actually blown away by the steel bar in the hand of the wood!
Immediately afterwards, I saw the wood turn over and kick, kicking the shin of the sneak attacker, and at the same time, with a wave of the steel bar in his hand, it hit the opponent's knee!
A scream of "whoop" suddenly sounded from the edge of the giant pit!
Wu Lin, who had already reacted, heard this scream, hurriedly got up and pounced, and while choking the other party's neck with both hands, he hurriedly urged, "Wood, kill him!" ”
Hearing this, the wood picked up the steel bar in his hand, aimed it at the man's head, and smashed it hard!
With a muffled sound, the man's head suddenly sank!
At this time, the three people who were responsible for rummaging for supplies in the huge pit had already run over after following the sound, and when they saw Wu Lin's ugly face, one of them shouted excitedly, "It's Wu Lin and that kid!" ”
The person who spoke out was Wu Lin's old acquaintance, Liu San!
And the two people who chased him together, Wu Lin is no stranger, among them, the guy who is tall and thin, and has diarrhea on the first child, is named Wu Bald, and the rest of the person is his partner Yan Lei!
Seeing that the three of them were about to climb the giant pit, Wu Lin casually smashed down a handful of dirty snow, pulled up the wood and said, "Run!" With that, the two of them ran along the same path and fled.
The three of Wu Bald, seeing that Wu Lin and Mu didn't say a word, turned around and fled, they were slightly stunned at first, but then, a wave of greed surged in their eyes, and they chased after them!
