Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Unknown Stalker

Mutated creatures are powerful, there's no doubt about that. Since they are so powerful, there are naturally many treasures in the bodies that make them powerful, such as indestructible leather armor and scales, such as flesh and blood that are extremely nutritious and can even promote evolution after long-term consumption, such as bones and teeth that can be used to extract special hardening substances.

In short, mutant beasts are both dangerous and full of treasures, and their value is often proportional to the degree of danger, the more advanced the mutant creatures, the more precious the materials produced, and the higher the value!

Human beings have always been animals that like to chase profits, and the drive of interests has made many powerful evolutionaries embark on the road of hunting mutant beasts, but this is not only the road to getting rich, but also a road to death.

Gao Lei's words benefited Li Gang a lot, it turned out that mutant creatures have so many uses besides eating, especially the weapons made of hardened substances extracted from the teeth of mutant beasts can be used to fight mutant beasts, which is very important. One of the biggest reasons why humans are now invincible when they are fighting mutant creatures without a weapon that is sharp enough to break through the sturdy armor or skin of mutant creatures.

It took a lot of effort on the battlefield to finally give the mutant creatures a lesson, but it turned out to be their own weapons, what a tragedy.

However, weapons with hardened substances are good, but they are very expensive. Thinking about his current state of being poor and white, Li Gang decided not to think about it for the time being, and wanted to go home first.

From Gao Lei, I also learned that the current 'money' does not refer to the RMB before the destruction day, but a new coin called 'dragon coin'. This kind of coin is divided into five denominations: 1 yuan, 10 yuan, 100 yuan, 1000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan, which are unified as coins with different materials, among which the 10,000 yuan coin contains a certain proportion of solidified matter and gold. Among them, there is a star on the front of 1 yuan, two on the front of 10 yuan, and five on the back of 10,000 yuan, and the back is a traditional Chinese dragon pattern, so there are two titles: dragon coin and star coin. It's just that the real circulation of this kind of coin is not very large, and most of the current people buy things through payment cards. Li Gang looked at Gao Lei's payment card, which was similar to the previous inductive bus card, but the material was much harder. As for the banknotes, they are not yet available, and there will probably be in the future.

Of course, this method of trading is currently only popular in the New Defensive Circle City, and most small gatherings and camps are mainly bartered and gold.

Gao Lei said they were from Mingquan City, and Li Gang remembered that it was a small town near the city of T. So he wondered, "Huh? Mingquan City is closer to Bishan City, you don't have to go all the way to hunt mutant creatures to make money? ”

"You don't know?" This time it was Gao Lei's turn to ask: "How long have you been lost here?" ”

"It's almost 20 days, counting today, it's 18 days to be exact."

After listening to Li Gang's words, Gao Lei's eyes were as big as two lanterns, and he was surprised: "You have lived here alone for so long?" I'm so impressed, I thought you were here on a mission from the Hunters' Guild like us. ”

"Task? What task? ”

Gao Lei changed his hand to resist his huge hammer, and said: "Didn't the grain transportation team in T City have an accident a few days ago, and then the rescue team they organized was almost wiped out, and the impact was very bad, probably to save face, the government organized a large-scale purge campaign, and the entire three high-end armored divisions almost bulldozed the outer area." It is said that there is also a newly developed individual armor system among them! At the same time, the Hunter Group also issued a large assistance mission, calling on all hunter teams to assist the government armored division in the cleanup. After completing the task, they will be rewarded according to the evaluation of the government. This has led a lot of people to believe that the Hunters group has a government background, but of course it doesn't matter. Our team also participated, because there is no time limit for the payment of rewards, as long as we can return to any of the Hunter Organization offices to submit identification and relevant evidence of achievements, we did not rush back after the mission, but hunted here. As a result of the Great Purge, the density of mutant organisms here has decreased a lot, and it is less dangerous than in other places. Many of the teams that thought the same way as us stayed and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money. ”

"What happened to the food transport team and rescue team in T City?"

"Don't mention it," Gao Lei said roughly: "The grain transport team went back by itself the day after the rescue team fled back, the rescue team died so many people in vain, I heard that it was a very strong non-human and a restless and kind animal trainer, now all places are wanted for this beast trainer, and the hunter organization also offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, whether it is dead or alive." ”

"Reward that brain-dead man? He's dead, why reward him? After thinking about it again, Li Gang understood: "I knew that the brain-disabled man died, because his servant beast suddenly lost control and infighting, and the rescue team was afraid that they couldn't take care of it, and they could not be distracted to notice the situation of the brain-dead man, and when he died, the rescue team had already broken through, maybe they didn't even pay attention to the brain-dead man being seriously injured by themselves." ”

"If I can prove that guy killed himself, wouldn't he have made a profit? Can I prove it? Can't" Li Gang was depressed.

"Brother Li, are you uncomfortable? How do you look bad? ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay" Li Gang sneered, he would never say that it was because he couldn't get the bounty.

"By the way, I haven't learned about the outside information for so long, and I don't know if there is anything new during this time except for the incident of the grain transportation team."

"What's new? That's a lot, I usually like to inquire about these things the most, I don't dare to say anything to know, but it's pretty much the same, I'm authoritative in this regard! Gao Lei's voice was an octave higher when he spoke, I really couldn't imagine that such a big man would have a burning gossip soul, Li Gang secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart: "Shouldn't I ask this question, why do I have a bad premonition?" ”

"There's been a lot going on lately, but where to start? Don't worry, I'll tell you one by one. ”

"I'm not in a hurry, you say."

"Okay, let's start with the ruins. Speaking of ruins, we have to mention the Great Rift Valley. You must have never heard of this rift. ”

Li Gang nodded.

"This Great Rift Valley of Central Asia only appeared on the Day of Destruction, and you should know that the Day of Destruction caused drastic changes in the global crust, and this Great Rift Valley came about here. It starts from the Kara Sea in the north of the former Russia, runs through Russia, Mongolia, and western China, and connects to the Bay of Bengal in the south. The ruins on the original border between China and Mongolia are very large, and it is said that scientists have been sent by various countries to investigate, and it has not yet been determined which era the ruins are, but it is true that they have caused a wave of exploration among evolutionists. There are rumors that it is a Mayan ruin, some say that it is an Atlantean civilization, and there are other theories, but it is strange that this ruins have been identified and buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer, and there were no people at that time, so the call for alien civilizations or ancient civilizations is also very high. This is just a small meaning, what is really shocking is that there are still living mysterious ancient creatures in the ruins, and they are extremely ferocious, and even the ruins themselves are still operating, and many scientists and elites from various countries who have explored the ruins have died in it. ”

"Prehistoric civilizations, aliens? The world is getting more and more wonderful. Li Gang sighed.

"Most of the things about the ruins have been heard, and no country has made official statements about the ruins, as if there is a tacit agreement, and there are strange things inside." Gao Lei rubbed the stubble on his chin in contemplation, and soon he shook his head again and said: "No matter what it is, the matter of the ruins will definitely not be covered, and sooner or later there will be accurate news, because now many evolutionaries are running to get involved, we just need to wait for the news." The second thing is that evolutionary schools are being built all over China, and basically all the cities of the defense circle have such schools, and school-age children with evolutionary abilities can enroll in them for free. In this kind of school, not only can you learn general cultural knowledge, but you will also be systematically guided by various evolutionary abilities in the future. Not only China, but also the rest of the world. Although it was not yet perfect, it is good news that the construction of schools shows that humanity has not died out due to the threat of many mutated creatures, but has gradually stabilized and sought development. Also, there are a lot of advanced weapons now, otherwise the defense circle city would not be easy to build."

In Gao Lei's spittle, the sky gradually darkened. It is dangerous to walk at night, so the hunters' team found a position relatively high and surrounded by relatively empty ruins, and prepared to rest here and walk again. They estimate that they will be able to walk for half a day tomorrow to reach the outer districts, which means that they will be able to leave the city soon.

The foothold is a half-collapsed overpass, and the fracture is seven or eight meters above the ground, as long as you stay near the fracture, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the line of sight here is wide, and if there is a situation, it can be detected in time, as long as it does not make a striking light at night to attract flying mutant beasts at night.

The dinner was still relatively sumptuous, and Li Gang provided a pot to cook a large pot of orangutan meat, as well as some bagged pickles, which were also brought by Li Gang. Firewood was readily available, and scraps of furniture were picked up from the ruins.

Looking at the bubbling meat pot, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something, and said to Gao Lei worriedly: "Captain, it's not good to cook meat here, the taste will attract mutant beasts." ”

Gao Lei, who was staring at the meat drooling in the pot, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yes, why didn't I expect it!" Then he looked at the meat in the pot and said, "But it's all cooked." ”

Qi Khan, the team members, thought that he dared to cook meat here because he had already thought of countermeasures, and he didn't think about anything after making trouble for a long time. Well, not to mention the captain, he didn't expect it, so what is the intention of this outsider Li Gang who proposed to cook meat and eat it?

"Why are you staring at me like that? Forget about this beauty, what are you guys looking at me, I'm not interested in that! Li Gang covered his buttocks with a frightened expression, and everyone almost vomited the sour water in their stomachs.

The beautiful Jiang Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked seriously: "You suddenly want to cook meat, won't you and didn't expect to attract mutant beasts, or do you have some ulterior plans?" ”

Seeing the suspicious gazes cast by everyone, Li Gang stirred the pieces of meat in the pot and said with a dry smile: "Don't be nervous, be calm, be calm." Isn't boiling meat just eating? I've been eating like this, and if there's really a mutant beast, wouldn't it be nice to kill it? ”

Li Gang wasn't angry at the questioning of the hunter team, but he didn't understand why he was so worried about attracting mutant beasts, with a team like theirs, it wasn't a matter of minutes and seconds to kill a mid-to-high-level mutant beast, what was there to be nervous about? That's how the extra red pigskin in his bag came from.

"Do you have any common sense, don't you know that it is dangerous to attract mutant beasts? What if I attract a powerful mutant beast? ”

"Beauty, I suddenly found that you are quite similar to someone I know, especially the tone just now is exactly the same!" Li Gang's so-called acquaintance refers to Sun Ying, and she also teaches people in this tone. Li Gang doesn't know what happened to Sun Ying and Xiaowei now, but according to Gao Lei's words, he thinks they should go back safely.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't use this kind of old-fashioned pick-up sentence to divert the topic, what I'm talking about is the problem that taste will attract mutant beasts, give me a serious point!" ”

It seemed that in response to Jiang Yan's words, a rapid rattling sound was remembered in the distance, which sounded like a noise from a broken fan blade.

Everyone, including Li Gang, was vigilant, and took advantage of the terrain to look around the already dim sky.

Many times people die not because of the strength of their enemies, but because of their own carelessness! Even the weakest enemy can't relax in the slightest unless it's dead.

"There!" One of the team members points to a collapsed building in the distance.

Li Gang looked along the fingers of the team member, and in the blurred light, he saw a figure of about two meters prostrate on the ruins of the building, raising his head to the sky and making that kind of quacking scream.

Seeing that vague black shadow, Jiang Yanhua, who was already worried, lost her face and exclaimed: "It's the Earth Walking Demon, it is summoning its kind, we must evacuate immediately, and it will be over as soon as we are surrounded by them!" ”

"Bring your stuff and go!" Gao Lei also knew that the earth demon was not easy to mess with, so he simply ordered.

"What about the meat?" Li Gang hurriedly asked, he still wanted to taste the taste of this orangutan meat.

"What kind of meat is it, they probably just let the smell of meat attract it, and if you don't leave, you will become their meat." Gao Lei saw that Li Gang was still staring at the meat in the pot reluctantly, angry and funny, when did he still want to eat it. So I wanted to pull him down, but it turned out to be empty. Seeing that Li Gang had already picked up the pot, he poured a pot of half-cooked meat on the fire with a pity on his face, and suddenly there was a lot of smoke, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of burnt meat.

Wipe the pot and stuff it into a pocket of your backpack, "The head can be broken and the blood can flow, and the iron pot for eating cannot be lost!" ”

"My iron pot prince, if you don't leave, go to the belly of the devil and meet your iron pot! Brother went first. When he said this, Gao Lei and the others had already run hundreds of meters, and the speed was really not slow!

"Mao, you guys are too immoral, wait for me." Picking up the backpack, Li Gang pulled his legs and chased after him, this distance was a matter of breath for him, and he came behind Gao Lei and asked: "Where is this land sacred, and you hunting teams like you have to escape?" ”

He was a little surprised that Li Gang caught up with Gao Lei so quickly, originally he thought that although they didn't run fast, it would take a few seconds for this iron pot prince to catch up, and it seemed that he underestimated him a little. After being a little startled, Gao Lei didn't look back and said: "The earth demon is a kind of non-human, generally active at night, and it is a group activity. They are able to move at very high speeds close to the ground and like to eat animal offal. The strength of the individual is average, which is the level of a mid-level evolutionary, but it will be difficult to entangle in a group, especially if they will spray strong acid, and if they are surrounded, they will not end well regardless of whether they win or lose in the end. ”

"Since they're so troublesome, why do I think you guys are running so leisurely, shouldn't you be working harder?"

"They are nocturnal, but they don't have good night vision. Near vision is okay, once you are far away, you can't see clearly. Relying on the sense of smell to find prey, since it is attracted by the smell of meat, it generally does not chase us anymore. ”

"Well, it's a waste of my meat, it's cheap. It's a pity that there are no laxatives, otherwise they would have squatted through the toilet! Saying that, Li Gang looked back at the direction of the overpass, and couldn't see anything clearly.

On the bridge, beside the fire that was doused with gravy, there were more than a dozen dark monsters with a length of 1.5 to 2 meters, and their limbs looked like deformed humans. They scrambled to pick pieces of meat from the fire to eat, not making a weird rattling sound.

The original big pot of meat was left in a blink of an eye. Suddenly a small figure jumped up from under the bridge and landed among them

Ga

Li Gang, who was following Gao Lei and the others, looked back suspiciously and asked, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”

"Am I hungry?" Gao Lei patted his belly and smiled.

"Did you hear me wrong?" Li Gang didn't pay attention to it and continued to run, they wanted to stay away from the place just now and find a place to stay.
