Section 44 Encounters in the Wild
Kebi's face was blue with fright.
What's the scariest thing in the wasteland? It's not weird and unpredictable weather, it's not vicious and cruel robbers. It's these scaly, mutated creatures. If you encounter robbers, you may survive. Encountering these mutated creatures is absolutely dead and alive. Because in their eyes, the meaning of human beings is food. There is no reason to talk about it. And among these mutant creatures, the most terrifying is the mutants.
They are vicious, cruel, and cunning. The most important thing is that the wisdom is extremely high. Get used to hunting in packs. The average brigade encounters them and doesn't even have a chance to run. They will design a trap and watch happily as the travelers walk in. Then brutally kill the other party. It's like a fisherman who casts a net, reaping bloody prey.
"Master, you're not scaring me, are you?" Kirby said in fear. While holding a gun, he looked around. Looking at his timid look, it was as if he would lose his gun and run away the next moment.
"I don't need to scare you." Blood Pupil frowned slightly. Still carefully observing the mutant in his hand. Seeing that the mutant was still baring his teeth at him viciously. He grabbed a rock and shoved it into the mutant's mouth. The hard rock immediately shattered the mutant's teeth. Bright red blood ran down its mouth.
The mutant's voice suddenly became much quieter, and his gaze at the blood pupil also carried a little fear.
"Is it strange that their blood is also red............ Wait, what is this? The Blood Pupil reached out and groped around the mutant's body, pulling out a small piece of metal from the back of its head. In the sunlight, the metal sheet emitted a sharp luster, and a piece was stained with the blood of mutants.
"Huh? Where did this come from? Kirby looked at it and touched his head. I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”
"It looks like a chip, and it's probably a product of the old era. It was stuck in the back of its head. It's okay? The blood pupil looked at it carefully for a while, and when she didn't find anything, she threw the piece of metal to Kirby. Then I looked at the back of the mutant's head. I saw that there was already a small hole in the place where he took out the metal piece. Blood kept flowing from it. The mutants' voices also became quieter and quieter, and eventually they were completely silent.
"It's dead." The blood pupil reached out and felt the mutant's pulse. As soon as the right hand was released, the mutant's corpse collapsed limply to the ground.
"Looks like that thing is important to it, and it dies as soon as you take it out."
"Maybe it's just an injury I accidentally received before, and when it heals, I died inside. Master, if you pull it out so hard, even a good person will be killed by you. Kirby replied with a smile. It looks heartless.
But there is also truth to what he said. It's as if someone has been stabbed. If you don't pull out the knife, it might be fine. If you can pull it out, it will hang up immediately. This is common in the heat of battle. Kirby doesn't know how many times he has seen it with his own eyes. However, it was the first time he had seen a piece of metal inserted into the back of his head like this mutant die.
"Maybe you're right." The blood pupil groaned for a moment. But the brow never stretched. "But I don't know what it is, I always think this piece of metal is a little strange. Kirby, you go and pick it up for me. I'm going to see again. ”
"It's good." Kirby agreed, and then lay on the ground and rummaged through it, and after a while, he sent the sharp piece of metal to the blood pupil. The blood pupil looked closely, but still couldn't see anything special. So he called out in secret.
"Troplock, are you there?"
"Yes." The voice of the core nucleus immediately sounded in the brain of the blood pupil. "What's the matter? I don't have a lot of energy. If you have something, say it quickly. ”
"It's good. I'll have just one question. Do you know what this thing is for? The blood pupil held up the metal piece in his hand.
"I don't know what to say, but I can analyze it. This requires the consumption of a portion of the body's energy. Are you sure you want me to help? The core replied.
"Sure. I think it's important. ”
"Good. Then I'll see. The core nucleus said calmly, and then the blood pupil felt a numb palm, and a small hole suddenly appeared, and countless tentacles stretched out from it, wrapping the chip in it. After a while, the tentacle was retracted.
"It's a rudimentary electronic chip. According to you, it is a product of the old times. It has little function, and its only function is to emit a fixed-frequency electromagnetic wave that is similar to brain waves. If it is directly applied to the brainstem, it will stimulate the brain of the organism and produce a certain degree of excitement. ”,
"What excitement do you mean?"
"That's right, it's what you think, bloodthirsty impulses."
"Sure enough." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the blood pupils. "These mutated creatures are controlled."
"What...... What the? Are you kidding? Kirby next to him was startled. Control mutant creatures. Who has that ability? Your imagination is so rich, host. Ha...... Ha Lu Ha ......"
He couldn't hear the conversation between the blood pupil and the core nucleus. Naturally, I thought it was the blood pupil talking to himself. But I didn't know that just now, the blood pupil had been confirmed by the core core.
"Alright. It doesn't matter. "Blood Pupil isn't going to say anything to Kebido on this topic." Let's hurry back now. For safety, we spent the night in the car tonight. ”
"Good thing, master." Kirby replied immediately. Ahead of the curve.
After this series of emergencies, now Kebi doesn't dare to be careless. Although it can be boring to spend the night in the car, it is much safer than in a tent. Especially after the emergence of these mutated creatures. Kirby didn't want to stay outside for a moment.
Back at the camp, the two quickly finished eating and began to lay improvised traps around. This is an essential preparation for an overnight stay in the wasteland. Blood Pupil is one of the masters. A few simple small objects were set up around the camp with dense catapult spikes. This gadget doesn't have much of a lethal effect. But the advantage is in the number of dense. When touched, it shoots out continuously, and it can also sound an alarm.
It's getting late these days. The two of them sorted out and then got into the carriage. After the armored car door was closed, the blood pupil said to Kirby.
"You were on guard in the middle of the night. Wake me up in the middle of the night. ”
"I know it." Kirby clenched the assault rifle in his hand. A somewhat apprehensive answer.
It was a simple camp, but after this encounter, Kirby is not at ease at all. He always felt like someone was watching him. You don't feel safe even when you're hiding in a heavily armed armored vehicle.
But the blood pupil didn't care what he thought. After the explanation, he lay down with his clothes. Soon fell asleep.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was time for night to fall. The temperature of the wasteland drops rapidly. The armored car was so cold that it could almost freeze to death. But Kirby did not dare to turn on the engine. He was afraid of attracting the peeps around him. I could only huddle in the turret with an assault rifle, trembling around the guard.
The blood pupil slept soundly. The benefit of his colonization is more than just having a set of individual weapons. Even the body is strengthened. Extremely resistant to harsh environments. Although the temperature in the car was low, it was as if he couldn't feel it at all.
But as a slight sound pierced the night sky, he reacted faster than Kerby. He opened his eyes suddenly.
"What did you hear?"
"What?" Kirby replied somewhat groggyly. "I didn't hear it, master............ No, wait. I hear you. The voice...... It seems to be the movement of the engine. ”
Kirby is a spirit, and all sleepiness is gone. Shouted with joy. "It must be a brigade. A brigade on the way late at night. We are saved! ”
"............" Blood Pupil glanced at him dissatisfied. This guy, did you think that the two of them were hopeless just now?
The sound of engines in the night sky is getting clearer and clearer. Soon I saw the lights of the car in the distance. Blood Pupil and Kirby stepped out of the armored car. Kerby excitedly pulled the bolt of the gun and planned to shoot as a warning.
"Wait." The blood pupil grabbed him. Glaring at him reproachfully. "Look again."
"Oh." Kirby touched the back of his head embarrassedly. Apologize for your recklessness.
The lights in the distance were getting brighter and brighter, and by this time the two of them could already see that each other was a convoy. And judging by the speed and manner of driving. A brigade indeed.
Blood Pupil nodded. Give Kirby a look. Kirby slammed the bolt open. A shot was fired into the sky. The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky. The lights on the opposite side suddenly went out.
This is also the normal reaction of the brigade in the event of an emergency. After all, it is dangerous in the desert. If you come across a group of robbers. They can also reduce the risk of exposure. If, of course, it was really a robber. I don't just shoot it. The price of bullets in the last days is very expensive. Robbers would rather use bullets to harvest human lives. And not wasted on warnings.
It is estimated that the leader of the brigade also knows this. So soon, a man who was still quite strong approached cautiously. After seeing the blood pupil and Kirby, he was slightly startled.
"Who are you?"
"We're also travelers to the wasteland." Kirby stepped forward to talk. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know which brigade you are? ”
"I don't have to tell you." The man replied indifferently. At the same time, he looked vigilantly at the assault rifle in Kirby's hand. "What are you doing here, and why are you shooting?"
"Oh, that's a long topic." Kebiha smiled and put the assault rifle back on his back. "Rest assured, we have no ill will. Just need a little help. ”
"Really?" The man seemed relieved to hear Kirby say this. But he still said vigilantly. "We don't want to deal with a guy with a weapon. Man, if you really need help, then give me the gun first. ”
