Chapter 003: A Chance Encounter in the Ruined World
In the twenty-four hours of a day, there are always a few hours that belong to Wang Rong, the overlord of the single food chain.
He and Su Qing worked together, they first got the rowing boat ashore, and then Su Qing began to repair it with the help of Wang Rong's tools. At the same time, Wang Rong took the initiative to attack, looking for the nest of a single creature around the beach, and killed him mercilessly. As long as he doesn't provoke social animals, Wang Rong's performance is unmatched.
After the time that belonged to them had passed, the two quickly returned to the cave to make dry food and prepare fresh water.
After more than a month of busyness, it was finally done. The rowing boat, which was extremely well repaired, carried enough dry food for two people for two months and plenty of water.
Wang Rong loaded the dagger and wrapped the AMB tightly with an oilcloth, and carried the remaining hundred or so bullets close to him.
At the moment when he was about to board the ship, Wang Rong felt a little melancholy in his heart, after all, this is the place where he has lived for eighteen years, studying here, shooting here, and desperately living here. Watching familiar people die and slaughtering mutated animals on the island......
"Let's go!" Wang Rong waved his hand, saying goodbye to the island.
The road was calm, and the two took turns rowing, and it only took 26 days to successfully land.
Walking out of the coast, as far as the eye can see, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and there is no life. Once a famous city, it is now in ruins. In addition to ruins, or ruins......
Su Qing gasped, she was a girl born and raised in the island base, and all kinds of nuclear wars had only been seen on the screen, and now when she saw the real scene, she couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
"It used to be a very famous port city." Wang Rong said slowly: "After the outbreak of nuclear war, a twin warhead with a yield of 250,000 tons exploded here, the entire city was razed to the ground, and millions of people died. ”
After a pause, Wang Rong said, "It was Uncle Cheng who taught me to read that told me." This was originally his hometown. ”
The gloomy sky, like a ruined city of hell, and a few wisps of cool breeze that swept through were eerie.
"I'm afraid I won't even find a living mouse." Su Qing was a little disappointed in her heart, according to the map, the location of the freshwater company was more than 100 kilometers west of the city. Looking at the appearance in front of you, even if that company has not become a garbage heap, it is not much stronger, and it is difficult to find chips.
"What's next?" Wang Rong asked.
"All the way west!"
Su Qing guessed not wrong at all, it was really not even a living mouse that was found. The two of them traveled during the day and took turns sleeping in search of a safe place at night, with one person always on guard. More than 100 kilometers, a full five days. Luckily, they had enough food and water with them, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to make the way.
What used to be a freshwater purification company was a five-story building with various laboratories and warehouses behind it. The overall area is almost more than 600 acres. The nuclear warhead that exploded here did not cause very serious damage to it. The buildings and warehouses only looked dilapidated, but not collapsed. At the main entrance, two dilapidated metal doors collapsed crookedly.
"Don't move!" Wang Rong suddenly grabbed Su Qing, who wanted to move on.
AMB unloaded from behind his back, two powerful palms firmly gripping the spear. Before Su Qing could understand what was going on, she heard Wang Rong shout: "The people behind the door come out." ”
A sound came from behind the metal door, and a woman in her thirties crawled out from behind the door. She looked emaciated, with severe wounds on her right shoulder and left leg that festered to the bone. Behind her, stood a poor little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, with her hands clenched. Together, it was like wanting to pray, and it was like praying to the two people in front of them.
When the woman saw the military uniform on Su Qing's body, her face was extremely frightened, and she turned as pale as snow in an instant.
Wang Rong carefully observed the movements around him and confirmed that there was no one else, and the pair in front of him, who looked like mother and daughter, posed no threat to him at all. AMB returned to his back again and walked over with Su Qing.
I don't know what kind of beast the wound on the woman's body came from, but it was obviously infected, and the damage was too severe, Wang Rong had seen similar injuries many times on the island, and all of them died without exception. He looked at the woman, took two pieces of roast meat from his fanny pack, handed them to her and the little girl, and placed the kettle in front of them.
"Thank you!" The woman said two words with difficulty, but her eyes were still frightened when she looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing whispered: "If you are injured like this, can you save it?" ”
Wang Rong shook his head slowly.
The little girl was very beautiful, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and Su Qing thought that if she dressed up and changed her clothes, she would definitely be a big beauty when she grew up.
The little girl took the piece of barbecue, tore off a small piece, put it in her mouth, handed the remaining large piece to the woman's hand, and said in a sweet voice: "Mom, you are injured, you eat more, get better quickly." ”
The woman looked at her daughter dotingly, her smile was a little bitter, she didn't eat barbecue, but said to Wang Rong: "Thank you, I can't do it, I hope you can save my daughter." ”
Looking at the little girl, Wang Rong's heart warmed, he was still in infancy, and was carried on the boat by Uncle Cheng. If Uncle Cheng didn't want to do much, he wouldn't have himself eighteen years ago, right?
He nodded, "I'll do my best." In this world, no one knows if they will be alive tomorrow. ”
With these words, the woman suddenly relaxed a lot, she looked at Su Qing, and asked in a low voice, "You shouldn't be the army of the three major regions?" ”
"Three districts?" Su Qing asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Don't even know the three districts? The woman was surprised, and she sighed: "Decades ago, after the outbreak of nuclear war, the ecology of the earth became very poor, and billions of people were starved to death by famine. The temperature is getting lower every year, and more than eighty percent of animals and plants are extinct. There aren't too many people left. ”
"After more than 20 years, the temperature has gradually risen, about one degree lower than before the nuclear war. There is no country in this world. All the survivors, under various guidance, gathered in three regions, saying that they could bring hope to everyone. The three districts have a strong force, they have cleared out a vast area, separated the mutated beasts from humans with an endless power grid, there are various institutions inside, they have started planting and breeding, there are hospitals and schools, and it is true that many people can survive. ”
"My family used to be in the Eastern Region." The woman's face showed an extremely frightened look: "We thought that when we arrived in the Eastern Region, it would be a paradise for people...... After I went, I realized that it was hell! ”
Su Qing asked puzzledly, "How is it possible?" According to what you said, the three major regions provide people with armed support, as well as food, clothing, and medical care, which is a good thing? ”
The woman sneered, "If it weren't for such a nice sound, who would be fooled?" ”
"Everyone who enters the Eastern Region has to hand over their weapons, saying that they are all for the army. Originally, some people disagreed, but think about it, the army is the foundation of providing force, if you really let the mutant beast break through the power grid, even if you have a gun in your hand, there is not much chance of survival. So the weapon was turned in. ”
"After a physical examination, people in the Eastern Region can be divided into two types: those who can survive and those who are already sick and who are unable to survive. Those who find it difficult to survive are basically abandoned. And those who were able to live, men were assigned to various jobs, and the better of them would enter the army. In the eyes of many people, entering the army is equivalent to a step to the sky. But it is difficult to understand that those who entered the army, it seems, have completely changed as individuals. ”
"Then there are women, women have to work, and the most unacceptable thing is that the management of the Eastern Region said that the population is declining too much, and in addition to natural fertility, women must be surrogacious. Every once in a while, single women will be taken away by the gendarmes Many people, no one knows the inside story, but the women who go to surrogate pregnancy, basically none can come back. ”
"Until one time, three women who went to surrogate escaped and although they were caught by the gendarmes in a short time, they still leaked something. As a result, the gendarmes blocked them overnight and escaped. No one is allowed to move around the places they pass. That night, there was an explosion in that place, and the explanation given by the Eastern Region was that there had been an accident in a convoy of trucks transporting weapons, and a series of explosions had occurred. Who believes those who live around me like me? ”
Su Qing shook her head incomprehensibly, indicating that she was incomprehensible. The island base where she lives, everyone is studying hard, excelling in force, good marksmanship, and joining the army. If you have a strong interest in science, go to the graduate school to study...... It can be called to do their best. Seven leaders on the island are elected by everyone to make decisions on important matters. Everything is open and transparent, which is like this Eastern Region, where things are mysterious and sneaky, and women are required to go to surrogacy - hum!
"This year's call for surrogate women selected me. As soon as my husband and I discussed it, we made up our minds to flee. Our family of three secretly fled, and the gendarmes began to chase us. It's hard for you to imagine how big the Eastern Region was, almost half the size of the province before the war. Our family of three desperately escaped from the power grid, and from here more than 60 kilometers to the west is the power grid. Unexpectedly, when I came out, I met two wolves. ”
"My husband's homemade pistols didn't hurt them at all, and we were both bitten. At the last moment, my husband dragged two wolves and detonated a hidden grenade, and he died. I moved this way with my daughter, and luckily I didn't encounter the beast again, but you guys. ”
She pulled the little girl in front of her, tried her best to make a smile and said, "Xuan'er, mother can't take you on." You follow your brothers and sisters, and you have to try to survive. ”
She looked up at Wang Rong and said, "Xuan'er's surname is Ling, thank you for your willingness to take care of her." ”
Wang Rong looked at the well-behaved and beautiful little girl and nodded. Ling Xuan'er didn't cry, she just tugged at Wang Rong's trouser legs, her little face was full of anticipation: "Brother, can you save my mother?" ”
Wang Rong was about to answer, when suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he hugged Xuan'er in his arms and whispered: "Hide behind the door." ”
Su Qing hurriedly helped the woman move behind the metal door, and the four of them had just hidden when clear footsteps came.
Wang Rong looked carefully through the crack in the sloping door, and as far as his eyes could see, there were seven or eight soldiers in full armor, marching in a straggler formation. They all had automatic rifles in their hands, three magazines and two grenades around their waists. An officer shouted: "We have found Ling Yong's bones, there are blood stains on the ground leading here, don't hide, come out and surrender." ”
Su Qing and Wang Rong glanced at each other, knowing that this situation was very difficult, if they used a sniper rifle, if one person was killed, the others would immediately hide their figures, but they would expose their positions and be suppressed by the other party's firepower.
Wang Rong handed the AMB to Su Qing and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about the hit rate. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Rong had already picked up the dagger and moved along the broken wall like a tanuki.
Su Qing received complete military training at the island base, and as soon as she took over the sniper rifle, she immediately understood what Wang Rong was going to do, she had a solemn face, gently pulled the safety bolt, aimed at one person, and pulled the trigger.
The eight soldiers who were advancing suddenly had a gunshot, and one person on the left had been shot in the head before he could even scream. The remaining seven people changed their expressions, and they fell on the spot, and then hid with the help of the surrounding trees, and the seven automatic rifles poured fire angrily, and the dense bullets hit the heavy metal door and crumbled.
The mother and daughter did not panic, perhaps they had seen a lot of danger along the way, and this shootout could not shake their nerves. Su Qing leaned against the remnant wall, the automatic rifle in the enemy's hand took a slight break, she did not hesitate to stretch out the barrel of the gun, pointed at one of the firing points, and fired another shot.
When he was at the island base, Su Qing's shooting performance was outstanding, and so far only two shots had been fired, causing one death and one injury. However, the opponent's firepower is too fierce, and if the frequency of AMB's firing cannot be increased, once the opponent approaches, throw in a few grenades, and everyone here will have to die.
The dagger bit Wang Rong's mouth, and he barely made a sound and climbed out of the wall. Seven soldiers, in his eyes, are the seven prey on the island.
This was the first hunt after landing......
