Chapter 18: Encountering the Scavengers
Lingtian was properly handled, and everyone felt down-to-earth from the bottom of their hearts. Getting to the camp one step ahead of others really has great benefits, so that the mercenary group has a greater advantage in occupying resources, and walking ahead of others, even if it is just a day or two, it can play a vital role in future development.
"We have land and a house, and we have no worries about material things. However, it is quite difficult to win more resources on the premise of defending them, and our strength is far from enough. Zhang Mu paused and continued: "The previous mandatory task has not yet ended, while there is no new mandatory task released, let's start working on upgrading." ”
At the same time, everyone's morale is also extremely high.
Lei Ming suggested: "Anyway, if you want to fight monsters, you might as well go to the hall to pick up some bounty tasks." The bounty quest itself has a good experience reward, as well as a lot of gold rewards, and there is only one mercenary group in the camp at the moment, so there is no competition! ”
"Lao Hei is right, team up to accept some bounty tasks below E-level difficulty, so that you can level up and earn money." Zhang Mu was very satisfied with Lei Ming's proposal: "Because I have other plans, I will not participate in the mission for the time being." ”
"Ah, what are you going to do?"
"I've studied the map, and in the next two days, I'll go to the nearby area to reconnoiter and find out what's going on, and at the same time gather useful information to lay the foundation for future expeditions. Of course, try your luck by the way, and if you can find a treasure chest or something, it's all the best! ”
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to be alone?" Lin Caiyan couldn't help frowning: "I'm a priest, I can ...... with you"
Leng Yun saw Lin Caiyan speak, not to be outdone, and said: "I can too, I can add blood and output!" ”
"Your kindness is appreciated, but there is no need." Zhang Mu directly refused: "The Ranger is very comprehensive, although it is not obvious to play a role in the team, but it is a very suitable profession for solo travel." Even if I am not there, the team will not be affected, Lin Caiyan is a priest, Leng Yun is an elemental master, you are an indispensable element in the team, and you must not be missing. At this point, he paused and continued, "Don't worry, I'm going to be fine." You have some faith in me, okay? ”
Zhang Mu said so, and the others were not reluctant. What he said is not wrong, the ranger does not have a particularly outstanding side, but it is the most comprehensive class, the speed is good, the attack is okay, it can attack from a distance and close combat, and the skill category is very wide.
Leng Yun didn't want to see Zhang Mu take risks, it could be seen that he had made up his mind, as long as he said: "Then bring the black claws, and you must pay attention to safety." ”
"Well, let's split up then!"
Zhang Mu first made some preparations, went to the equipment shop to spend money to repair the equipment, and then went to the department store to buy a goggles, a large bucket of drinking water that could be put into a backpack, No. 4 ammunition, simple detection instruments, hemostatic anesthetic powder, and other simple unexpected necessities. Then he returned to his lodgings and took Blackclaw with him, and a man and a beast went out through the west gate and left the camp.
………
The sky at Camp Dawn was hazy and gloomy all year round, and the occasional burst of sunlight was stunning, but it was short-lived, and soon it was covered again by thick gray clouds.
The wilderness is uninhabited, full of dust, withered grass, and dilapidated buildings, as if nothing has changed since eternity, and it will always be a depressed and desolate scene.
Zhang Mu left the camp and went in a certain direction, advanced for nearly an hour, and stopped at the ruins to rest. Although it is said that there are few dangerous monsters within a dozen miles of the Dawn Camp, there are no absolutes in everything, and we must not relax our vigilance. Zhang Mu's equipment has just been repaired, and the durability has decreased a lot after repair, but one or two repairs will not have much impact on the quality of the equipment. The armor leaves on the armor are shiny, the cloak is blown by the wind, the brown lenses of the goggles reduce the irritation of the bright light on the eyes, and the long shotguns in both hands are vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Blackclaw stood beside him, his dark golden eyes also on alert.
Zhang Mu didn't see any danger, and took out a locator that looked like a tablet and 50 gold coins from a department store from his backpack. Zhang Mu clicked on it a few times, and a point of light lit up on the screen, and the coordinates appeared next to it, which was the starting point, that is, the location of the camp, and then a point of light lit up in another place, which was where he was now, and the coordinates were also displayed.
The two points of light are connected to calculate the straight-line distance, and the route Zhang Mu has traveled is presented as a dotted line, which is a curve with a slight arc. With this instrument in hand, it is almost impossible for the player to get lost in the wild. Of course, the locator is susceptible to environmental influences, so it is prone to confusion.
"Unexpectedly, I still took a lot of crooked roads, the straight-line distance is 4 kilometers, and Fang Xiangshang is not wrong." Zhang Mu stuffed the instrument into his backpack, picked up the gun again, and looked around: "Probably here, where will the treasure chest be hidden?" ”
There is a good treasure chest here, the treasure chest closest to the camp in my memory, and the credibility of the news is relatively high, so Zhang Mucai regarded it as the first target. This treasure chest is different from the normal treasure chest and is said to open good skills.
The field is very empty, and about 1 km away, there is a ruin of a building, and there is a tower-like building, which is more conspicuous. The location of normal chests is instantaneous, while the location of special chests like those found in the Spore Plains is fixed and will only appear in some special places.
If there's a treasure chest here, it should be there!
"Blackclaw, keep up!"
Zhang Mu jumped down from the stone and ran in that direction with his black claws.
It's a small factory, surrounded by barbed wire and walls, with two or three buildings in total, with large amounts of corroded metal scraps piled on the ground and several dismantled and abandoned trucks. The surface of the metal is very corroded, and this place may have been abandoned for some reason a long time ago, perhaps as a car repair shop.
"It's nerve-wracking, the job of a treasure chest hunter is not easy to do." Zhang Mu looked at the dilapidated building, the mountains of metal fragments, and wiped his sweat fiercely, "Good guy, I can find something now!" ”
Wild treasure chests need chance to be able to yujian, and even if you use the memories of your previous life to get a more detailed location of the treasure chest, it is not easy to find out.
Zhang Mu guarded the black claw outside, climbed over the wall, and began to search hard.
"Where do you get all this scrap metal?"
Zhang Mu hung the gun on his shoulder, and with great strength, he finally moved a piece of metal weighing hundreds of kilograms blocked in front of the building, and was so tired that he was panting, and when he looked inside, his eyes were full of messy parts, and the air was full of corrosive smell.
I can only open them one by one.
Zhang Mu sighed, just as he was about to continue working.
"Whew!"
The black claw outside suddenly screamed twice.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu was startled and held the shotgun in his hand from behind. At this time, the black claw jumped over the barbed wire and jumped in from the outside, its body weighing hundreds of pounds overwhelmed many pieces of metal and shattered, it looked restless, and kept screaming at Zhang Mu.
There was no danger along the way, could it be that something tricky had appeared?
Zhang Mu made a silent gesture and climbed over the wall to look into the distance. The sand and dust on the horizon churned, and there was a faint booming sound. After Zhang Mu saw it clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted in his heart that something was wrong...... Coming towards this was a row of reloaded locomotives.
"It's broken!"
Zhang Mu slid down from the wall, and his face was covered with dust because of his violent movements.
There are no humans in the wild, and even if there were, it was impossible to drive a locomotive!
There is only one possibility!
It's other sapient beings!
If intelligent creatures appear, then there is absolutely no good thing, and the intelligent creatures who dare to haunt near the Dawn Camp are definitely not weak, at least much stronger than Zhang Mu, and they are definitely not the existence that he can deal with now.
Zhang Mu couldn't understand that he would be so unlucky. It is possible to have other sapient creatures in the wild, but in the vicinity of Camp Dawn or the station occupied by Camp Dawn, because of the protection of the robot soldiers, the aliens will not approach easily. Zhang Mu was actually in Yujian, about ten miles away from the Shuguang camp, I have to say, it was really unlucky!
Escape?
Impossible!
If you leave the abandoned repair shop, you will be as eye-catching as a moving target, and you will be spotted immediately! The other party has a locomotive, and it will definitely not be able to run!
Help?
It's too late!
It is about 5 kilometers away from the Shuguang camp, more than ten miles away, it is not far away, it is not close to it, the mechanical patrol team of the Shuguang camp will not be able to go so far, even if the direction of the camp is noticed, it will not be able to come in a short time.
If you can't win, you can't run, let alone have any foreign help, then it seems that you can only pray. Hopefully, these guys are just passing by!
"Blackclaw, hide first!"
Blackclaw hides in a pile of metal ruins.
Zhang Mu carried a gun, ducked behind the collapsed ruins with his waist, and used a shotgun to enter the entrance.
The sound of the locomotive was getting closer and closer, and after about ten minutes, it finally approached the repair shop. Zhang Mu's brows furrowed, and the fingers holding the trigger were sweating, hoping that they were just passing by, but unfortunately, the locomotive roared and Zuihou stopped at the door of the repair shop.
"Squeak......
Several voices could be heard outside the workshop.
Zhang Mu couldn't understand and couldn't tell which language it was.
Suddenly, there was a muffled "boom", the iron door weighing hundreds of kilograms was completely torn off, and several figures walked in from the outside, Zhang Mu frowned slightly, and looked with bated breath.
There are about six people, tall, short, fat and thin, and they are not much different in size from humans. Most of the body is mechanical, and a small part is made up of flesh and blood, no doubt ...... It's a biochemical family.
[Scavenger] (Silver Boss), level 15 biochemical, 2800 health, 1800 magic. Attribute??? Introduction: The cyborgs who have been exiled from various camps for their heinous crimes, they have no fixed residence, and they regard themselves as scavengers, wandering in the wilderness, and making a living by searching for treasures.
It is possible that the life and magic of these scavengers are different because of different professions, but one thing is the same, scavengers are generally level 15 silver bosses!
Zhang Mu's equipment level, I'm afraid he can't even win a single one!
Could it be that the treasure chest has not been found, so it will be planted here?
