Chapter 380: The Appearance of Xenos (I)
Chen Yang used to read books, almost at a glance and ten lines. And when he reads now, he still glances at ten lines.
However, these two kinds of one glance and ten lines are obviously not on the same level in terms of effect, and the previous kind of one glance and ten lines can be seen and swallowed, and the head of the whole book is blank, which is equivalent to not reading it. And now with one glance and ten lines, after turning the whole book, all the content is engraved in Chen Yang's mind, vividly, clearly visible, and can even be memorized backwards from the last page.
This undoubtedly greatly improves the efficiency of learning, but in this way, the pleasure of reading books has been invisibly reduced a lot, and there is no longer the leisurely pleasure of reading books as before.
Chen Yang quickly flipped through the whole book, then tore off the whole book and threw it into the bonfire, clapped his palms, and entered the tent to rest.
Early the next morning, at about five o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang climbed out of the tent and stretched, began to drink a cup of morning coffee with hot water, and after eating some breakfast food, he packed up all his things and prepared to leave.
Yesterday, he had a lot of time to rush to a distance of more than 100 kilometers, and Chen Yang planned to catch up with the 200-kilometer road in one go while the road was still smooth.
But apparently, this optimism was immediately and ruthlessly shattered by reality.
Driving the motorcycle forward for more than ten kilometers, according to the target indicated on the map, it should be Philadelphia in front of me. Located in northeastern Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States, ranking fifth among modern American cities in terms of population after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston, with a population of more than 15 million.
With such a huge population, it is conceivable that Chen Yang looked at it. Not to mention the huge city with undulating high-rise buildings in the distance, just the accumulation of various abandoned scrapped vehicles on the road leading to the city is a headache.
Not only that, but many parts of the road have been destroyed by shells and missiles, and it is not only private cars and trucks that have been scrapped. There are also a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
Chen Yang also vaguely saw the mechanical steel waste rising from the weeds on the side of the road, which obviously had the characteristics of a helicopter gunship.
Not to mention that a large passenger plane cut off the entire highway and blocked the direction of Chen Yang's advance.
"It's really troublesome......"
After taking a sip of water, Chen Yang had no choice but to get out of the car, raise the motorcycle with both hands, and avoid the scrapped vehicles blocking the road in an unsightly manner.
Truth be told, if he hadn't been able to carry too many supplies on his own, he would have wanted to throw away his motorcycle. Alone he traveled far away.
But then, in this desolate land, which is not a modern city, where can I find food and supplies? Until now, Chen Yang has not seen a place where he can replenish the water source, if he gives up the supplies on the car, he is afraid that if he walks less than half the distance, Chen Yang will have to return to the ship.
"Bang!"
Chen Yang, who was slightly upset. Kicking the back of a car in the back of the butt at random, it suddenly made the whole car feel as if it had been hit by a locomotive. It deflected three hundred and sixty degrees and slammed into another truck.
In the unpleasant and harsh sound of collision, the truck staggered for a while before it barely stopped, shaking the body of iron filings and "clicking" a few times. Some parts fell straight down.
After moving the motorcycle out of about a kilometer away, the road was finally normal, and it was difficult for the motorcycle to pass, and Chen Yang did not plan to enter Philadelphia and went around the state highway 40. Speeding past the side of Philadelphia.
An hour and a half later, he crossed Logan and arrived in Wilmington.
From the city, there are two paths to take, one along State Highway 95 to Baltimore, and the other along U.S. Township Highway 301 into the less populated peninsula and finally across the Strait Bridge into Washington.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang finally chose the direction of Highway 301, just because compared to the 95 state highway, the traffic and people on this highway will be much rarer, and after the end of the world, it is obvious that there will not be too many scrapped vehicles, so as not to affect the progress too much.
This idea is a good proof of the correctness of Chen Yang's decision, after choosing Highway 301, the road is almost unimpeded, although the road is also damaged, but it is not very strict, and it is still within the acceptable range of motorcycles.
With no vehicles to obstruct him, Chen Yang increased his forward speed, and after an hour, he drove a road of more than 60 kilometers, crossing half of the entire 301 highway.
"Hey, is there another town?"
There are so many towns like this in the United States, with a series of shops, hotels, small banks on either side of a road, and then surrounded by private homes made of logs, and farmland in the distance.
If it weren't for some disaster, what Chen Yang should have seen now was a peaceful and quiet scene, not the deserted town now.
"Woohoo......"
Deflecting the front of the car, Chen Yang came to a gas station and stopped, looked at the red fuel tank, and shook his head in disappointment, "Sure enough, there is no gas......
Also, twenty years have passed, not to mention whether the oil in the tank has long been used up, and even if it has not been taken, the tank and nozzle will definitely be scrapped to the point that they cannot be used.
As for the 24-hour convenience store in the gas station, Chen Yang didn't bother to go in and inspect it, the broken glass and vending shelves were pushed to the ground, not to mention any moldy food, not even a snack pocket was visible.
Compared with the desolate scene he saw in New York City, Chen Yang, who had a deeper understanding of the great changes in the United States, sighed, looked at the blue cloudless sky, and the thought flashed in his heart.
Even the United States has become like this, will the rest of the countries be better?
His idea of integrating the remaining resources seems to be going to come to naught?
"Huh?"
Chen Yang was about to return to the motorcycle when his ears suddenly moved, as if he felt something.
"Meow ......"
Arthas peeked his head out of his backpack, no longer slacking out, but his pupils were upside down, staring sharply at the convenience store, baring his sharp teeth.
What's in there......
Being able to conceal his movements at such a close distance from Chen Yang shouldn't be something ordinary humans can do, right?
Or rather...... Not human?
"Arthas, go back!"
Chen Yang casually stopped the kitten who wanted to pounce on the convenience store, reached into the pocket in his arms, and pulled out a metal coin.
Sometimes in his hands, the power of the coin is not inferior to that of ordinary pistol bullets!
"Bang!"
Without looking, Chen Yang flicked his thumb, and the metal coin suddenly shot out, turning into a black shadow and shooting into the dark depths of the convenience store......
"Shhh
A sharp scream sounded immediately, and before Chen Yang could react again, the scream suddenly disappeared, and with a series of movements of the heavy object falling to the ground, the calm was restored.
"It's really fast."
The coin on Chen Yang's thumb rolled back and forth, guessing in his heart what that scream was just now.
Beast? Or human?
None of them are very similar...... Or is it a xenogene?
Humans affected by ORIGIN recombine their DNA into uncontrolled xenomorphs, which has a severe impact on all of humanity in the aftermath of the catastrophe. It can be said that the reason why this parallel world has become such a tragic appearance is that these xenomorphs have to bear more than 90% of the responsibility.
Although hundreds of millions of xenos were wiped out by humans with military weapons in the following decades, according to the dead doctor, although the large-scale xenos have been destroyed, there are still an indefinite number of scattered xenos in the wild.
These scattered aliens are well versed in the essence of "guerrilla warfare" and have actually learned the skills of hiding, and in the several encirclements and suppressions of the Southern Federal Government, they have learned the skills of "guerrilla warfare" and hiding, which has posed a heavy threat to the human army.
The invisible enemy is always the most terrifying, even the once huge Soviet Union was tormented mad by the partisans in Afghanistan, not to mention these xenos whose combat effectiveness is far above that of ordinary humans. Once the xenos learn not to fight humans head-on, but instead prefer to sneak up on the covert, the one-sided battle will take a turn......
It turned into a complete stalemate, and in the end, the stalemate could not be sustained, and most of the land was abandoned.
This is also one of the reasons why the Provisional Government of the South, in addition to its own internal friction caused by its own struggle for power, was unable to re-establish the state on its own soil.
"Hey, I said I ran away, did I go to gather my companions?"
Chen Yang paused the flipping coins with his thumb and looked at the convenience store and the surroundings rather unexpectedly.
Originally, according to the information obtained by the doctor, the IQ of these xenos should not be high, but how can it be seen, it doesn't seem to be so bad? Well, if it's really stupid, no matter how powerful it is, it can't resist the encirclement and suppression of human thermal weapons.
Under the scorching midday sun, a modified motorcycle, a vigilant kitten, plus a ...... Men in sunglasses, the combined team looks very weird.
However, compared with the xenos that gradually crawled out in the convenience store, Chen Yang's combination is already very normal.
This is xenomorphism?
Obviously, I have already seen ORIGIN on the island of the Statue of Liberty, but if it is said that there are different species, Chen Yang is really the first time I have seen it.
It's better to be famous than to meet, no matter how you listen to others, it can't compare to the "shock" that Chen Yang saw with his own eyes.
"Well, that seems interesting."
The right hand suddenly woke up, and he didn't change his eyes, and directly shared his vision with Chen Yang, looking at the different species that came out of the convenience store, and he was very interested.
"Hmm...... Were these things really human before? ”
Chen Yang was deeply skeptical.
Compared with these xenos who look like ghosts, the appearance of the vengeful evil god after the parasitic failure is probably much more "cute". (To be continued......)
