On the dry and desolate land, only gusts of wind blew through, carrying away the dust from the ground, and the wind and sun for many years made this lifeless land into ravines. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The silence was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.

A man and a woman ran for their lives panting, and seventy or eighty meters behind them chased three mutant rats the size of car tires, which were not only increased in size and speed, but most terrifyingly their front teeth became very lethal.

"Oops!" The girl's foot scraped into a small dirt bag on the ground and fell to the ground, and she was exhausted from running, and she fell to the ground and rolled a few times, lying on the ground panting violently.

Her companion, a handsome man in his twenties with a backpack on his back, knelt beside her and gasped, "Little... Xiaoying, hurry up, they... They're about to catch up! ”

"I... I really can't do it, Sedum, you can run away by yourself, I really can't run. ”

The girl in the white dress was in tears, persuading her lover that she had apparently lost the desire to survive.

The handsome man grabbed the girl's hand and said affectionately: "No, I won't leave you, I love you." ”

The girl let go of his hand and cried and pushed his body, "You go quickly, we can live one by one." ”

A complicated look appeared on the handsome man's face, but he still stood up and prepared to flee alone, but unfortunately, in a few words, three huge rats had already come to them, and now this young man was afraid that it would be too late to run.

The young man clutched a sharp dagger tightly with a trembling hand, and although he knew that he was no match for these mutant rats, he still wanted to fight.

"Need help?" An unfamiliar voice came from nearby.

The girl and the young man looked at the place where the voice came from in surprise, and stood up in the ditch four or five meters away from them, a man wearing a black combat uniform, a black turban and a beard on his face, he slapped the thin earthy yellow blanket covering his body, and said to the two people who were staring at him, "Is there water, bullets, or hedrons?" If you pay something, I can help you. ”

The beautiful girl met a savior in a desperate situation, and nothing else mattered at this time, she pointed to the backpack carried by her companion, "We have spars, as long as you save us, we will give them all to you." ”

When the young man heard the girl's words, he showed a slightly heartache look, obviously not very reluctant, but in this situation, he still chose to shut up.

"Don't worry, I have my own principles, my remuneration is ten white hedron or three green hedrons, do you agree?"

Seeing the two chicks pecking rice and nodding again and again, the bearded man lowered his head and picked up a spear on the ground that was the thickness of a big finger and about one and a half meters of reamed steel, and after running two steps, he threw the steel spear in his right hand at the nearest mutant rat with all his strength, and the mutant rat was nailed to the head obliquely by the spear before he could react.

The other two mutant rats saw their companion being attacked, rubbing their sharp teeth and moving quickly on all four of their feet, rushing towards the bearded man.

After throwing the threaded spear, the bearded man pulled out a sharp machete from his waist and started a melee battle with two mutant rats, and it could be seen that the bearded man knew the attack habits of the mutant rats very well, and after shaking left and right and flashing the bite of the two mutant rats, he chopped off a rat head with all his strength, and the remaining mutant rats seemed to feel the danger, and quickly gave up the target and turned around and fled.

The bearded man unhurriedly came to the mutant rat with the threaded spear inserted, threw down the machete in his hand, stepped on the corpse of the mutant rat, pulled the spear out of the hard rat head with both hands, ran three or four steps, and threw it at the mutant rat that escaped.

Under the shocked gaze of the two young men, the threaded spear drew a beautiful arc in the air, nailing the last escaped mutant rat to the dry yellow earth, and the mutant rat that had not died for a while gnawed the rebar-sharpened spear with sharp teeth, and there was a piercing sound.

The bearded man picked up the machete that was thrown on the ground, took out a rag to wipe the blood on the knife, walked up to the two and said calmly, "My reward." ”

The young man with the backpack had not yet recovered from what had just happened, and the girl saw the machete in front of the bearded man with rat blood dripping in his hand, so she hurriedly took off her companion's backpack and poured all the white and green spars in it at the feet of the bearded man, seeing that there were about several hundred.

"No, it's our stuff!" The recovered young man pointed at the beard with the dagger in his hand and said excitedly.

The bearded man smiled playfully, "Do you want to settle a debt with a Revenant?" To be honest, it's not very sensible. ”

The girl hurriedly hugged the young man's hand holding the dagger, and said to the bearded man with a reluctant smile: "You saved us, these are what you deserve, we will not pay the bill, you can take it yourself." ”

"Hehe, you made the right choice." The bearded man smiled and took out three green hedrons from the heap of hedrons and put them in the pocket of his black combat uniform.

After receiving his reward, the bearded man took out a rope and tied the three mutant rats together, used the rebar spear as a flat pole, picked up the booty and walked into the distance.

......

A rudimentary gathering point has emerged in the wilderness, its walls made of old car wreckage and scraps of concrete.

The only entrance was a gate welded with various iron bars, and two guards, one old and one young, with AK rifles on their chests, patrolled the doorway.

"Yo, Brother Nan is here, it looks like he's had a good harvest recently." Seeing the bearded man walking over with a mutant rat, the older guard smiled and greeted the bearded man.

The bearded man stopped and put down the three mutant rats he was carrying, took out the dagger on his legs, cut off the front legs of the two mutant rats and threw them to them, and said with a smile: "Today is still Lao Zhang guarding the door, this brother has never seen it, but those who see it have a share, take it back and drink it." ”

"Lao Zhao ate unclean insect flesh and died of illness a few days ago, and Xiao Liu replaced him."

The guard Lao Zhang took the rat leg and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Nan, go to my house to drink some at night, I still have half a bottle of foreign wine brought out of the white area." ”

patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, and the bearded man said with a smile: "You should keep the wine for yourself, the white area near it has been explored, and it will be difficult to drink wine in the future, is there any new news about the gathering point recently?" ”

Lao Zhang said in a low voice: "A group of chaotic people have come in the past few days, don't provoke them if you have nothing to do, those guys have no humanity." ”

"Thank you, brother, I see." After saying goodbye to the two guards, the bearded man picked up a steel spear and walked towards the trading post inside.

The young guard looked at the three mutant rats that the bearded Brother Nan was carrying, and said enviously: "Brother Zhang, you are an old seniority, do you know the origin of this Brother Nan, how can you always get food?" ”

The guard Lao Zhang was carefully taking out a clean cloth and rolling up the rat's leg and putting it in his arms, Xiao Liu's words aroused his interest, "If you want to say that this difficult brother is indeed a bit mysterious, it is said that he broke through a green area." You know, the green area is different from the white area, which is basically not dangerous, and no one knows what he is capable of, but it is certainly not easy to be so nourished after the apocalypse, in short, don't provoke these lone wilderness hunters. ”

The bearded man carried the mutant rat to the only trading post in the gathering point, and left the three mutant rats on the board.

"The old rule, the water and the head are yours, do it."

The dark-skinned fat boss didn't say a word, picked up a sharp knife and skillfully cut it, cut off the rat's head, peeled it and disemboweled, and all the internal organs of the mutant rat were thrown into the big basin on the ground, and the rat brain was dug up, and only the largest of the three mutant rats dug out a white crystal in the brain.

After dismantling it, the fat boss stuck the sharp knife on the board and wiped the rat blood on his hand with a cloth, "Ananda, bad luck, it's just a white crystal, but the rat meat is not bad, I've been tired of eating insects recently, and these rat meat can also be sold at a good price." ”

The bearded Ananda picked up the sharp knife of the fat boss on the table, cut off six of the fattest hind leg meat and three back muscles and tied them up, "I keep these for myself, and change the rest, twenty liters of water, a bottle of salt, 7.62 bullets and a hundred rounds." ”

The fat boss put a white plastic bucket filled with water, a white plastic medicine bottle filled with salt, and eighty rounds of ammunition on the board, and said with some worry: "The white areas that are not dangerous in the vicinity have been emptied, and the bullets are getting fewer and fewer, so I can only give you so much." ”

"Got it." The bearded Ananda loaded the salt shaker and bullets, and walked to the small shed he rented, carrying a rebar spear and a bucket of water.
