Chapter 257: The Last Battle 2
The gold and silver town, which had been desolate under the erosion of zombies, has now returned to its former liveliness, and after completely cleaning up the surrounding viruses, another batch of bounty hunters began to settle here.
After all, although the virus has been cleaned up here, there are still a lot of zombie nests around it, which is a big deal. There are many bounty quests in this area, and the rewards are very good, and every time a town is occupied by humans again, the Republic will increase the bounty in order to strengthen the defense here, so the generous reward is enough to feed a large number of bounty hunters.
Although all the gold and silver were once all turned into zombie dens, most of the buildings on the town have been preserved intact, and as long as the virus is cleaned up, they can be moved in. Therefore, the reconstruction of the town did not take a long time.
The town's only pub opened, and the bounty hunters who had been killing for a day flocked to it. But the enchanting girl of yesteryear is nowhere to be seen, so the only pleasure for the bounty hunters is the strong drink. The small bar was bustling, the bounty hunters were blushing and their necks were thick, some had already stood on the table and started dancing, and some of the relatively good ones were pulling their comrades to complain, with a handful of snot and tears, which looked quite sad.
In the corner of the bar, a naked man was pouring himself a drink, and seven or eight bottles of wine were already rolling down in front of him. Looks like it's been drinking for a long time.
Just then, the wooden door of the bar was pushed open, and a bounty procession entered. Obviously, this team of people had just returned from completing the mission, and the equipment on their bodies was covered with scars, especially the big man in the lead, and Zhou's body was filled with a strong smell of blood, and he pestled the large mace on his shoulder to the ground, and the bar seemed to shake three times for a while.
The bustling bar was suddenly quiet for a few seconds. However, the bounty hunters were veterans, and after glancing up and down the team, they stopped paying attention, and then began to drink to themselves. The leading man glanced around, and then his gaze stopped at the man in the corner. He waved his hand, and one of the team members behind him stepped forward, and the big man whispered a few words in his ear, and after the other party nodded, he led the team out of the bar.
Then the big man put the mace on his shoulder, and then walked towards the man in the corner.
"Brother, do you mind if I sit here?" The big man asked after squeezing out a smile on his meaty face.
Immediately, the naked man raised his head. He had gray hair, a resolute face, a beard, and a pair of pupils faintly bloody, and when he looked at the bald man, he couldn't help but lick his lips, as if looking at a delicious meal.
"Please!" The gray-haired man held out his hand and made a gesture of please.
When the big man saw the other party's appearance clearly, especially the strange eyes. My heart tightened, as if I had encountered a hungry beast. He swallowed hard, then sat down across from the man, then gently lowered the large mace to the ground.
"I heard you've got a mission here?" Dahan squeezed out a smile again. However, with his meaty face, he looks quite hideous, "My name is Bart." You can go outside and ask around, there is absolutely no problem with the credibility of our bounty team. It's just that lately we've been in dire need of a lot of money. But ordinary bounty tasks are obviously not enough. So ......"
"Hello, my name is Henry!" The gray-headed man smiled, "My mission is dangerous. And it's not something that the average team can do. ”
When Bart heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, but the next moment he hurriedly sat back down, after all, he was asking for someone at the moment. He does need a lot of money now, because one of his brothers in the bounty team was unfortunately bitten by a zombie while on a mission. Although the modified human body is highly resistant to the zombie virus, this time is very different. Recently, a new type of zombie has appeared around Gold and Silver Town, and the zombie virus carried by this zombie is very ferocious, not only can it penetrate the virus immune system of the modified person, but also has a great chance of turning the other party into a zombie within 24 hours. This is also the reason why Bart is so anxious, ten hours have passed, and in these ten hours, their bounty team has almost no time to refresh and rest, and they are all running tasks non-stop. But as time dwindled, Bart felt the pressure he had never felt before.
As long as there were enough gold coins, Bart bought the latest antidote developed by the Republic. Although this agent is still in the experimental stage, it can kill a large number of virus infections in a short period of time, and although it cannot be eliminated, it can delay the mutation time of the infected person, and buy enough time to completely eradicate the other party. That's why Bart is so desperate to take on the task.
"Mr. Henry, I am here sincerely, if you don't believe in our strength, you can test it. As long as you tell us how to test it, we guarantee that it will be done, how about it? "If it weren't for the tight schedule, and the reward for the mission that Henry had posted, how could Bart beg the other party in such a low voice.
Henry lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally he nodded: "Okay then, but I need to warn you that this mission is very dangerous, and I hope you can be well prepared." Henry said, and at some point a mission map appeared in his hand, "This is the mission you need to perform this time, and when you get to the mission location, someone will naturally pick you up, remember not to ask more, you only need to execute it, understand?" ”
Bart excitedly grabbed the map in his hand, then thanked him again and again, and then picked up his mace and rushed out. Because he was too excited, he knocked over a wine table and rushed out of the bar amid the scolding behind him.
At this moment, outside the door of the bar, the entire bounty team was anxiously waiting, and as soon as they saw their captain rushing out with a smile on his face, they knew that this was done, and hurriedly surrounded them one by one.
"Captain, how's it going, isn't it done?"
"It's done!" Bart said excitedly, and then raised the mission map in his hand. At the sight of the map, the bounty players all screamed excitedly, as if the pain and exhaustion on their bodies had been washed away by this excited roar.
Bart looked at the team members with tired looks on their faces, and couldn't bear it, and then said: "I still have the same old saying, this mission is very dangerous, you are all my brothers, I can't hurt a few of you for one." Ladies and gentlemen, I ......"
Before Bart could finish speaking, the team member in front of him directly interrupted him: "Boss." Stop it. Brothers, it's not because of you that you're doing this. Jerry grew up watching our brothers, and we have treated him as a younger brother for so many years, so I don't say anything, and our brothers can still bear it. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the surrounding team members echoed it. Bart felt his nose count, and then he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Okay, enough brother, let's go, let's go have a good meal first." This mission must only succeed, not fail! ”
"Yes!" The team yelled, and then rushed towards the restaurant with their shoulders hooked.
An hour later, the team was ready to go. Hop on two steam-powered cars and head to the predetermined location on the map. A prominent red line on the mission map shows the route to the destination.
"Captain, what the hell is this Henry, and why can he get so many gold coins?" The team member sitting on the co-pilot asked curiously.
"How do I know. Or listen to what a buddy in the bounty mission release office said. This guy's former team took over Henry's mission, but they were unlucky, and few people came back. But these are the few people. I received a large bounty, and I heard that I had retired, and now I don't know where to live a happy life. So this time, brothers, try to save your life. If you really can't do it, don't force it. Think of it as Jerry's life......"
In a word, the whole carriage was silent, Ba put on a cigarette, and then took a deep breath: "In this hellish world, it is the most proud thing in my life to have a group of brothers like you, so everyone, we have done what we should do, if we really can't do it, don't force it too much." ”
"But Jerry......"
"I said it, just take it as your fate." Bart said this, and then suddenly smiled, "But don't be discouraged, maybe we'll be lucky this time." If this task can be completed, not to mention Jerry, there will be nothing to worry about in the future life of the brothers. So, whether it's for Jerry's sake or for our future, this vote has to fuck it! ”
Both steam-powered cars were not slow, and after a journey of more than two hours, they finally reached their destination.
It was a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and Bart jumped out of the steam-powered car, then held the mace to his shoulder, and he looked up into the distance, but he didn't find anyone who was connected. Fortunately, there is still time, and he can wait.
After the steam-powered car turned off, the team members jumped down one by one, and then organized a defensive line on the spot. Bart looked at the dozen or so brothers who followed him, only to feel that the responsibility in his heart was suddenly very heavy. He let out a long breath and tossed the cigarette butt on the ground to extinguish it.
"Boss, who is the other party's connection?" One of the team members asked.
"How do I know, it's just that I was so happy at the time that I didn't ask for clarification......" Bart was a little annoyed, but it was impossible to go back and ask now, so he had to wait.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, and about fifteen minutes later, an emaciated figure emerged from the jungle. Bart cautiously walked towards the other party.
"Pick up the mission?"
The man across from him looked up at Bart, his face haggard, like a skinny skeleton. The eye sockets are sunken, and the emaciated cheeks can even see the outline of the bones. A slightly shabby robe enveloped his emaciated figure, which looked like a hemp stalk from a distance.
Fortunately, the eyes in the sunken eye sockets were quite attentive, otherwise Bart would rather believe that the other party was a walking skeleton.
"Yes, yes, we were introduced by Mr. Henry, and this is the mission map." Bart hurriedly greeted him, and then handed over the mission map in his hand.
The skeletal man took the map, then glanced at it and nodded: "That's right, come with me, remember, converge the breath, there are many unknown mutant creatures around." We are not in the target of our mission. Do you understand? ”
Bart nodded, then made a gesture behind him, and a dozen or so bounty team members gathered their formation, and then followed closely behind Bart and quietly walked towards the depths of the dense forest. They are all old comrades-in-arms who have worked together for many years, so they maintain a complete formation even if they advance. Seeing this scene in the eyes of the skeleton man, he couldn't help but nod frequently.
"Your team is very good." The skeletal man looked at Bart and said.
"It's over, and it's all eaten outside. This life-saving ability must not be forgotten. Bart replied with a smile, but when someone praised his team, his heart naturally blossomed. This team has spent more than ten years of his hard work, and it is basically full of old comrades-in-arms who have followed him for many years, so they naturally cooperate tacitly.
The bounty team had been led by the skeleton man for half an hour, and at this moment it had gone deep into the dense forest, and the skeleton man suddenly stopped, and then made a hidden pose. With a wave of his hand, Bart hid the whole group, and Bart crouched in the grass behind the skeleton man.
The skeletal man pointed straight ahead, Bart looked around, and vaguely saw several figures, he took out the binoculars from his backpack, and saw a small clearing in the distance wandering several zombies.
The larger these zombies became, measuring two and a half meters, and the most bizarre thing was that in the middle of these zombies, there stood a zombie variant with a huge head.
The mutant's skull resembled two gigantic duck eggs spliced together, and its pitch-black skin looked like a rock. It kept opening its mouth and spit out gray-white energy lines, and when these energy lines were contaminated with the zombie in front of it, the zombie would suddenly increase in a circle.
"It's a zombie variant, and we call it a zombie summoner. The energy line spit out of its mouth has the effect of activating and amplifying, but any zombie hit by this energy line will greatly improve both strength and physical fitness. And it has super defensive capabilities. Your mission this time is to sweep up the three zombie summoners in this area. ”
Bart nodded, then waved his hand, and the team members behind him followed him slowly towards the zombie summoner in the distance.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the skeleton man's face, and his figure slowly disappeared into the air...... (To be continued.) )
