Chapter IV: Deterrence
"Bang!"
The fuselage smashed to the ground, although it was not high, but it also shocked the people inside.
Fortunately, there were preparations in advance, and there were seat belts fastened, except for Su Yunwen and Hu Bo who were a little uncomfortable, like Zhou Zheng and Lan Xi, the three of them were martial artists after all, and this anti-shock force could basically be ignored. Opening the undamaged door, Zhou Zheng jumped down first.
Several other people climbed out one after another, and then moved out of the cabin again.
The luggage consisted only a few sets of change of clothes, some dry food, and the rest was guns and bullets.
I looked at the Patek Philippe on my wrist again, and it was not yet two o'clock. If it is estimated that it is still nearly forty kilometers away from Titan City, it will take at least two hours to walk. But before dark, you can definitely get to this huge settlement.
"Let's go!"
Discerning the good direction, abandoning the helicopter, which is no different from scrap metal, Zhou Zheng took the lead in yearning for the jungle drilling.
The titanium dagger cuts off some of the outstretched branches from time to time, and with the ability to see the mutant beast's blood bar, Zhou Zheng can always take them around the location of the mutant beast. Even if it is some poison, it is no longer afraid.
The jungle, which is full of dangers for others, is more like sightseeing behind Zhou Zheng.
It took half an hour to finally get out of this large forest.
A highway appeared in front of me, and it passed through the mountains and fields, like a giant serpent, bending forward.
It is no different from other roads, it is still paved with fallen leaves, and there are few traces of human activity. However, some of the road guard trees on the side of the highway have traces of the destruction of strange beasts. In some sections, there are also fractures, and it is not difficult to see from the traces that they were created by some powerful mutant beasts.
Stepping onto the road, Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and continued to walk in the direction of the northwest.
In this unfamiliar environment, Lan Xi and Zhou An were a little nervous, tense their bodies, and were always on alert.
In this regard, Zhou Zheng just smiled lightly, but did not say anything.
After all, Hu Bo is a little old, and he has experienced a series of changes today, and his body is not supported from time to time. So this small team will stop and go, but it's okay, they are constantly approaching Titan City along the way, and the closer they go, the more dangerous they will be.
Sharpy Squirrel, Rank: Second Order
Zhou Zheng locked on to a puppy-like rat-like mutant beast under the barren grass in the highway field, and its information appeared.
The appearance of second-order mutant beasts means that they are getting closer and closer to the settlement.
Generally speaking, the closer you get to the settlement, the less powerful the mutant beast becomes, and when you reach the five kilometers near the settlement, only the first-order mutant beast that is not offensive is left. Like a colony, high-risk mutants will not be allowed to approach.
The squirrel spotted the pedestrian on the highway and did not attack, but looked up and stared.
Moments later, the squirrel hugged a large plant rhizome and "swished" into the grass.
Continuing to walk forward, there will be villages on the side of the highway from time to time, but it is a destruction of Yan zhòng. As Zhou Zheng guessed, the poisonous corpses in the village had already been cleaned up, and the things that could be used were looted, leaving only broken walls, giving people an endless sense of dilapidation.
"Huber, let's take a break."
There are a lot of white bones in the village, which is not suitable for rest, and in a place far away from the village, he found a grassland, and Zhou Zhengcai chose to rest here.
"Less...... Young master, how long will it take to arrive? ”
She had never walked so far, so Su Yunwen rubbed her ankles after sitting down.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Su Yunwen and said, "It should be soon, the mutant beasts here are all weak." ”
Lancey took out the dry food from his luggage, these were dried meat, which had been treated with a special technique and kept for a long time without spoiling. And Zhou An searched around the neighborhood, found some dead branches and leaves, and soon lit a small fire.
The jerky is placed on the edge of a small fire and grilled, and the aroma of meat is emanating in a moment.
Zhou Zheng just had breakfast, and then what happened, a series of things came one after another, consuming a lot of his body, and it was already past lunch time at this time, and his stomach was really a little hungry.
"Here, young master."
Lan Xi handed the first skewer of grilled jerky to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng took it, but handed it to Uncle Hu, "Uncle Hu, you can eat first." ”
"Young master......" Hu Bo refused.
Zhou Zheng saw that Hu Bo was unwilling, nor reluctant, so he put the jerky into his mouth and chewed it. Although the jerky is hard, after the fire, it is somewhat soft, with a faint aroma of barbecued meat, and the taste is not bad.
It took half an hour for this simple lunch to settle.
The water is from a small spring on the side of the road, and it is very sweet.
In the New World, after more than two years of quieting, nature has long been restored. Moreover, the existence of star power is not only for humans and beasts, but also for plants, and the mountains and forests that have grown up and the endless jungles are the precious wealth that the cosmic storm has given to mankind again.
I packed up and was getting back on the road.
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Someone is coming." ”
Lan Xi and Zhou An had a cautious look on their faces, quickly checked the guns in their hands, and the cold weapons that they could pull out as soon as they could, and followed Zhou Zheng for a while, and they would not doubt Zhou Zheng's unusual ear power.
Hu Bo and Su Yunwen took the initiative to stand behind Lan Xi and Zhou An.
Sure enough, a moment later, it was Huber and they heard the sound of a car.
On the highway, two white ZTE pickup trucks appeared, driving quickly on the road. They also seemed to spot Zhou Zheng and them standing on the side of the road, and the speed of the car slowed down. Through the car window, Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he could see that the faces of the people driving inside were not good.
In a world where order has collapsed, the law is even more blank, and everything is possible.
Silently, when Lan Xi and the four of them were not paying attention, a strong bow suddenly appeared in Zhou Zheng's hand, the quiver was carried to his back, and he easily pulled out the three meteorite arrows.
"Squeak!"
The pickup stopped in front of the five people, and a big man jumped off the pickup truck and looked at Zhou Zheng and the five people indifferently.
The man standing on the car body unconsciously pointed his gun at Zhou Zheng.
The breath froze in this instant.
Zhou Zheng dared to guarantee that he and they were absolutely innocent, but they were just strangers who had just arrived here. This means that these people in front of them must be familiar with this business, they don't care if they are strangers, or if they have a grudge, they will do it until they reach the target.
The big man seemed to be observing Zhou Zheng and the five people, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.
When his eyes swept over Su Yunwen, there was a hint of surprise, and then a happy look, full of greed and a strong sense of possessiveness.
Zhou Zheng held the strong bow, put the three meteorite arrows on the bowstring, took a deep breath, and suddenly pulled the strong bow into a full moon shape, and then as soon as the hand was released, the bowstring made a "buzzing" sound, but it pushed the three meteorite arrows to go off the string.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Three thunderbolts, as fast as lightning, were nailed to the tree on the other side of the road.
Zhou Zheng's speed was too fast, and no one reacted at all.
With an indifferent face, Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Friend, be careful, this is the wilderness, and there are unknown dangers outside." ”
The big man's face changed, and he turned his head to look, only to find that on the trunk of the tree, in an irregular position, three extremely poisonous gray shadow vipers were nailed to the trunk and were struggling. But the power of the three meteorite arrows has already penetrated their bodies, and they are nailed at a distance of seven inches, how can they escape?
The strong and exquisite archery skills once again made the big man's face change color.
Everyone who sees Zhou Zheng's archery is inhaling cold air, and it takes a lot of perverted ability to shoot three arrows in one breath and hit small poisonous snakes in different directions?
How can his small body pull away from this strong bow?
"Ah Cheng, if you don't come back, we still have to hurry."
A voice came from another pickup truck, which made the big man who got out of the car nod, stared at Zhou Zheng deeply, and then reluctantly glanced at Su Yunwen, snorted coldly and turned his head back to the pickup. Amid the sound of cars, the two pickup trucks rolled up the fallen leaves on the highway and went away.
Zhou Zheng lowered his strong bow, unaffected by these people, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”
