The four-man tracking sigil circled the road, the convoy lingered in many places, and the nearby skeleton monsters were all crushed, and no skeleton could block the path of the heavy tank.
"We can't go on like this." Yang Tao stopped and stared at the overlapping marks on the ground, and gasped for breath and said, "We've been circling around, I don't know why they did this, but obviously we can't find a gathering place for mutants if we continue." "It's an incredible thing that we didn't find a mutant attack along the way.
"I feel like they're trying to get rid of something, or what they're looking for? Shihan pointed to the more chaotic marks of the intersection ahead, then to the crushed skeletons on the ground and continued, "It's okay, they just want to get rid of these skeleton monsters. ”
"I don't think we're far from the goal." Li Xin frowned and glanced at the three of them, and said in a low voice, "Of course, if you don't like to continue looking, you can find a place to rest." As soon as his words came out, Yang Tao obediently closed his mouth. Separately or continue to move forward here, there is no doubt that Yang Tao chooses the latter, at least it will be safer to be with Li Xin. It's just that he doesn't understand why Li Xin is so obsessed with this matter, and Yayun is silent on the side, and he doesn't object to Li Xin's stubbornness.
"I believe Li Xin, he won't do meaningless things again." Yayun said calmly. She has been with Li Xin for a while, and she naturally knows the other party's character very well, if there is no basis to confirm the authenticity of the gathering place, he probably won't be like a fool and wander around the dangerous streets behind the imprint.
Shihan and Yang Tao were silent for a moment, looking at the back that was gradually moving away with complicated expressions, and hurriedly quickened their pace to keep up.
After a while, the number of broken bones on the paving on the road gradually decreased, and there was still a dead silence on both sides of the street, except for the fluorescent vegetation against the background of a few human figures.
Li Xin stopped and gestured to his companion behind him.
"What's wrong?" Yang Tao raised his vigilance and asked in a low voice.
"There's someone around here." Li Xin raised his head and scanned the surroundings, and said in a low voice, "We are being watched." ”
"Does that mean the gathering place is nearby?" Yayun took the opportunity to go to the gathering place of Koni Zhan, and naturally knew that in order to ensure the safety of the gathering place, there are usually people nearby to set up a sentry, and if the situation is not right, the alarm will be issued immediately.
"That's right!" The corners of Li Xin's mouth provoked a sneer, and said softly: "As long as we continue to move forward, they will appear, whether they are hostile or not." ”
"What if the other party attacks us with malicious intent?" Yang Tao said uneasily.
"You can kill the other person or be killed by the other party." Li Xin said disapprehantly. The murderous aura emanating from his body made the three people present couldn't help but shudder. Although Li Xin does not approve of active killing, this does not mean that he wants to be killed.
As expected, when Li Xin and the four of them were passing through the calm area of the street, a patrol team of five people rushed towards this side and appeared in front of everyone's eyes. These people are all mutants, and there is a strong smell of blood on their bodies. The men were cloaked, the cloak was sewn from pieces of animal skin, which was extremely ugly, and they looked at Li Xin and the four of them vigilantly, keeping a distance to deal with any attack at any time. These people are not weak, and they have a lot of combat experience.
"Young people tell me what you mean." The man in the cloak asked hoarsely. His gaze swept over the bodies of the four people and fell on Li Xin's body, revealing a bit of sternness and vigilance: "People who bring malicious intent are not welcome here. ”
"Malice?" Li Xin pointed to the marks on the floor and said flatly: "We followed the traces of the convoy to find here, it entered our previous shelter, but unfortunately we just left at that time and didn't have time to catch up." ”
"Rondy's convoy?" The man in the cloak said in surprise, "When they came back, they did bring back seven or eight capable people. ”
"Seven or eight capable people?" Li Xin narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Isn't there anyone else?" ”
"Nope!" The man in the cloak seemed a little impatient, but he still answered Li Xin's question.
"I see, can we go in?" Li Xin asked, "We have been searching around here for a long time, and we are glad that there is a camp for survivors here. ”
"Of course, as long as you don't have malicious intent, Camp Kalmanda welcomes you to join." The man in the cloak made an inviting gesture towards Li Xin: "Except for yesterday, after Rondy's convoy waited for a group of survivors, there will be very few other people 6 who will continue to come here. ”
"Take the liberty of asking, Carl ......" Yang Tao paused slightly, forgot the name of the camp, and embarrassedly asked for help like the person next to him.
"Camp Kalmanda!" Yayun reminded softly.
"Yes, how many people are there in the Kalmanda camp now?" Yang Tao's face was slightly red, and he asked in a low voice.
"There are about 2,000 people, and the exact number is not very clear." The man in the cloak glanced at Li Xin and added, "About one-third of them here are capable people, and Rondi is the leader of a relatively large team of mutants. ”
"I thought you weren't welcoming ordinary people here." Li Xin pouted and said.
"No, after all, we were once ordinary people." The man in the cloak sneered, "However, the status of ordinary survivors here is relatively poor. ”
"Rondi's convoy entered the Block C Vault and sealed the alloy gate of the underground vault, killing nearly 300 ordinary survivors." Li Xin sneered, "I thought ordinary survivors were not welcome here. ”
After the man in the cloak heard this, he jumped away from Li Xin's side like an electric shock, widening the distance between the two. He lowered his voice and said, "I hope there aren't any friends or companions of yours among those people." ”
"Nope." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to avenge them, after all, it's just a group of irrelevant people who died." ”
After hearing Li Xin's words, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the man in the cloak said hoarsely: "I'm glad that you didn't bring malicious intent, and everyone will be safer if there is one more capable person in the camp." ”
Li Xin raised his eyebrows and asked, "However, I'm curious that you actually believe my words so lightly." ”
"I sincerely hope you're not here for revenge." The man in the cloak led Li Xin and the others towards the territory, explaining: "Although you are strong, you will definitely not be able to dodge the strafing of bullets, not to mention that there are nine people in the camp whose strength is no less than your ability. ”
"Nine?" Yang Tao said in a skeptical tone.
"There aren't many people with great abilities." The man in the cloak looked up at the street in front of him that was sealed off with abandoned cars, and explained: "This is the side gate, and most of the people are limited to the safe area near this street, and there are several teams of people with strong abilities patrolling around to prevent the attack of fallen fish or mutated creatures, causing unnecessary chaos and casualties." ”
Shihan pointed to a fluorescent strip that scattered light next to the piled up cars, and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?" ”
"Lamppost." The man in the cloak explained: "The strip of iron wrapped in the cotton blanket, and the thing that is successful in allowing fluorescent bacteria to attach to it and grow after wetting it is mainly used to dispel the darkness around it and prevent the sneak attack of mutated creatures. ”
A truck compartment that had been cut in half entered the side of the door, and the man in the cloak walked in to greet the gatekeeper, and the door of the carriage opened for them to enter.
The camp was very lively, and there was a fishy smell in the nearest place, and several people were slaughtering some kind of creature, and Li Xin quickly recognized that the unlucky guy was a mutant rat, and pieces of meat were cut off and put on ropes to dry.
"You eat this?" Li Xin frowned and asked. Seeing this scene, he was not the only one with a bad face, Yayun's face was pale and pursed his mouth, and his right hand tightly grabbed Li Xin's arm, while Yang Tao and Shihan looked like they were about to gag, although they also had bloody experiences, but after all, mutant mice could eat a lot of corpses.
"That's right, although the meat of the mutant rat is a little sour and old, at least it is not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence." The man in the cloak explained helplessly: "Otherwise, do you think that the food you are looking for alone can fill the stomachs of more than 2,000 people?" He seemed to deliberately take out a piece of jerky and stuff it into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "As long as you get used to it, it actually tastes good, a bit like beef jerky, the fly in the ointment is that the meat has a sour taste, do you want to try it too." ”
"No, we have other food." Li Xin politely rejected the other party's friend, he dared to guarantee that the man in the cloak definitely intended to do so, and the two people around him had already covered their mouths with their wrists and squatted on the side in gag.
"It's a shame." He stuffed the strips back into his pockets, and looked at the vomiting two with a playful look in his eyes, an elusive smile on the corner of his mouth.
"People here don't seem to be friendly!" Li Xin changed the topic, he had just noticed a few malicious glances, and the greedy eyes of many people fell on the two beautiful women.
"Don't worry, they don't dare, at least the murderous aura on your body is enough to deter them." The man in the cloak comforted.
Li Xin shook his head and reminded: "I don't think my murderous aura can work on a pistol. ”
"Don't worry, at least no one just shot here, and the bullets are expensive, and if you use one, you will lose one." The man's words were full of sarcasm: "Sometimes a bullet is more expensive than a human life. ”
