It didn't take long for most of the people in the search party to regret their decision, and they were horrified to see that there were more and more skeleton monsters roaming the streets, as if they would never be able to kill them all. Li Xin had to build yƬ everyone to bypass them, and take refuge to consume undoubted physical energy.
Along the way, the movement of the people became more and more restricted, and finally everyone crouched in a shop, using a strong gate to hide from the bones wandering around the road.
"It's terrible, we shouldn't be away from the shelter." The only young woman in Hengduo's team couldn't help but complain, as if this qiÄ was Yang Tao's mistake, and the complaint attracted several annoyed glances from Yang Tao's team.
"Don't make a fuss, save some effort." Hengduo reminded helplessly: "Every time I come out to look for food, it's a life of death, and now I still want to think about what to do!" ā
All of them were silent.
Li Xin moved the things on the counter and sat up and asked, "There is one thing that I have always been strange about, don't you think that there are a lot of skeletons nearby?" He had noticed this as he approached the perimeter of the Vault, a vacuum full of skeletons, not even ordinary mutant rats.
"We also only went to the Great Vault for the past two days, and we don't know much about these things." Yang Tao also found a place to sit down, shook his head and explained: "We heard that the radio said that the evacuation in Area C could provide water and food, so we rushed over with everyone, but we didn't expect that there was nothing in the shelter, and the people inside would have a problem even making ends meet?" ā
"I was supposed to have some food in stock." Hengduo's face showed a bit of mockery, and he recalled: "After the disaster, the residents who were still alive in the vicinity moved closer to the shelter in Area C, and after the radio spread, more and more people heard about moving towards the shelter, and I was one of them. ā
Hengduo took out a clump of flattened bread, cut it into five pieces with a knife, placed it on the palm of his hand and gave it to his teammates to choose, threw the last little piece of food into his mouth, swallowed it with water, and then said: "In a short period of time, no less than a thousand people have gathered in the shelter, and this is not a time of war, so of course there will not be too much food in it. But without a follow-up food supply, it is simply impossible to sustain the consumption of a thousand people. The reduction in food distribution caused discontent among some of the people, who tried to snatch the remaining food, but were eventually stopped by a coalition and driven out of the Block C Vault. Later, more and more people, unable to stand the hunger, organized to go out in search of food, but most of them died. ā
"Instead of looking for food, some people sneak up on the team that has returned from finding food, and that's when the so-called Spit Hunters appear." Hams continued the unfinished topic: "These people, after they kill the powered, are able to gain power themselves, just like taking away someone else's power. He said with a mocking face, "The inferiority of the people is beginning to be revealed, and there is a group of people who are not hunting mutated creatures, but only thinking about how to plot how to hunt food and return, and more and more people are dying because of the scuffle with each other, including several of my companions." ā
"Most of the corpses were eaten by rats, and the skeletons left behind reawakened soon after, turning into roaming skeleton monsters, their still rising with the dead, squeezing the living space of mutated creatures." Li Xin combined the words of the two and calmly analyzed: "6 Continuing to gather here with the signal of the communicator, most of the ordinary survivors died on the road, and the mutated mutant creatures in the vicinity decreased with the increase of skeleton monsters, and many survivors lost the opportunity to obtain mutation abilities, and the number of spurned people who hunted their companions continued to increase, causing a series of vicious circles. ā
"You're right, there are always a few more sober guys to be found among the mutants." A hoarse, muffled voice came from the attic, and several dark shadows descended the stairs and cast a glaring glance at the group of seekers, most of whom were capable people.
For a scarred man, there is a faint smell of blood on his body, which makes him look even more vicious. The scar man stared at the skeleton wandering outside the house with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly, "You seem to have caused us a lot of trouble!" "A few more mutants appeared, their eyes not friendly, staring at the rabbit fox.
"Spit on?" Li Xin frowned, and as soon as his words came out, all the people stood up one after another, raising their vigilance against the scar man's team, preventing the other party from suddenly coming up like an evil beast at any time.
"That's just the weak who use that name." The scar man disdained this, raised his head arrogantly and scanned the crowd before snorting coldly, and mocked: "A group of fools whose heads were caught in the crack of the door swaggered into other people's territory and shouted. ā
"Turf, hum, I think it's a trap." Li Xin said coldly: "The door here has not made any protective measures at all, I'm afraid you are luring those who are looking for food into the room, and you want to eat it in one fell swoop!" ā
"Head, your plan has been debunked, do you want to kill them now?" A ** upper body, a big man with a strong body bent down and squeezed down the stairs, his words instantly made the two sides draw their swords and prepare for it, which could lead to a scuffle at any time.
"Ignore these guys, they've attracted too many skeleton monsters." The scar man raised his head to look at Li Xin, his gaze finally fell on the shadow blade, and said meaningfully: "However, the words of the Spit Spit are a bit tasteless when they come out of the mouth, a brutal executioner like you is not suitable for such words, you have more blood on your hands than any of us here." He raised his hand to block a man behind him, and reminded indifferently, "If you don't want to be killed, don't act rashly." ā
Everyone looked at Li Xin in horror, and couldn't help but take two steps back to keep their distance, as if Li Xin was like a ferocious poisonous snake that would attack them at any time. Hearing these words, the most surprised person was Heng Duo, not long ago the hook-nosed man accused Li Xin of being a spurner, which was not unreasonable.
"I don't really like to kill people if I could." Li Xin spread it out helplessly, as if he was telling a long-standing cold joke.
"Who believes?" The scar man indifferently swept the crowd with panicked faces, and mocked, "They seem to be more willing to trust me, but not you." ā
"If you will, stop talking about this unquestionable topic!" Li Xin waved his hand impatiently, took out a candy out of nowhere, removed the wrapping paper and threw it into his mouth: "In fact, it is not easy to live in the world now, who has time to kill people?" His eyes narrowed, the threat of battle escaping from his body, "I don't mind taking out those guys who try to trouble me." ā
"I cherish my life very much." A hint of surprise flashed in the scar man's eyes, and he pointed to his head and said with a smile, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite you...... As for you, remember to clean up the damn skeletons out there before you go. ā
Li Xin followed the scar man up the stairs, leaving a group of people with faces, not knowing what to do.
"Hams too, I'm sure they won't mind two more." Shihan said a word to the bodyguard behind him, and climbed the stairs behind him.
Yang Tao and Hengduo looked at each other and followed them upstairs one after another.
More than a dozen people poured into the floor at once, and it suddenly became much more crowded. Hengduo stopped in shock, staring at the other party's food in the corner, and couldn't help but swallow. The rest of the people were also attracted to the food, and if it weren't for the vicious gaze of the spitters, everyone would have pounced on them like hungry wolves.
Yang Tao's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was considering whether to unite with others to kill the other party and snatch these foods, anyway, the other party was a spurner, and doing so made him feel at ease.
"If you want food, we can give it to you, but not for nothing." The scar man suddenly looked at Yang Tao with interest, and added: "Men, we don't want it, the women here can consider it, as long as you are willing to pay, I believe that some of my companions will be willing to pay for some of their own food." ā
Yayun snorted disdainfully, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.
The poetry that was stared at by the eyes of the ** was like a weak lamb shrinking its body, but fortunately, Hams's body was strong enough to crotch the gaze of those **. The woman in Hengduo's team hesitated, but finally withdrew her body from the group. Yang Tao's two classmates didn't give the scar man a good look.
"It's a fair deal, if you don't want to, forget it." The scar man shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "You sometimes show that your dignity is not comparable to a piece of bread at all, at least bread can fill your stomach." When you're about to starve to death, I'm sure many of you will be willing to split your thighs or buttocks. ā
As soon as the words ended, a burst of laughter rang out in the room! The people on the side of the seeker team all turned pale, and they couldn't wait to rush up and teach each other a hard lesson.
"Tell me, what's the matter, you shouldn't have invited me to come up and let me listen to your boring jokes."
"Of course, we're going to hunt a mutated beast, and we want to invite you to participate." The scar man put away the smile on his face, put on a stern expression, and said to the other two teams, "If you want, you can also join." ā
"What's in it for me after a successful hunt?" Li Xin asked rhetorically: "I am not short of food now. ā
"Strength, I think you know better than me, to become stronger, you must keep hunting those mutated creatures." The scar man said hoarsely: "Now with your strength, there is no doubt about hunting those weak mutant creatures, if you can successfully kill that mutant beast, your strength will be able to soar by leaps and bounds." ā
