"Zhao, what should we do?"

Lucius, a black man, was a somewhat frizzy young man, and couldn't help but ask in the face of the marching ants crossing the border.

"Don't worry, let me think. Zhao Wenrui coped with it, and what he wanted to do was whether to do this vote.

Based on the reason that the strong are often envied, jealous, and hated, and are more likely to become topics, Zhao Wenrui still understands the Supreme Titan Clan.

Because he was very envious of the Supreme Clan's means of controlling the marching ants, he became a 'man with a heart', and once he got serious, even the nonsense with a high braggart in the tavern had the opportunity to summarize useful details.

For example, a simple sentence 'taming ants are like dogs' made him think about it.

And there is a lot of similar information, so that although this is the first time I have seen the real thing, I quickly completed the confirmation of a lot of information.

Zhao Wenrui noticed that the collar at the junction of the head and body of the marching ant was like a thin rope wrapped around the kind of rice noodle bag, which was easy to ignore or take as part of the marching ant itself.

But he knew that should be the key to controlling the marching ants.

He had always firmly believed that controlling marching ants was science and technology, not a natural ability of the Titans, as rumors suggested.

This leads him to covet control the giant ants, which he feels are ideal assistants.

He is greedy, but his reason is not exhausted, and the most tangled point he is in case the chicken flies and the egg is beaten, what will he do.

Chicken flies, and the key target he has to deal with escapes.

Egg beating, related technology has not been obtained, or only a relatively shallow part of the application has been obtained.

The price paid for this is very likely to be wanted by the High Titan, and the Vault will no longer accept him, and even in order to give the High Titan an explanation, as well as a bounty, he is jointly wanted.

Escaped from the shelter, with little accumulation, and possibly even a loner, how can he survive in this treacherous jungle?

If you don't win, you lose. This is Zhao Wenrui's consistent thinking.

Unlike those giants of thought and dwarfs of action, Zhao Wenrui does not lack action and execution.

He habitually calculates failures, and is more about giving himself psychological preventive injections, asking himself, once the worst result happens, can he admit it, if he can, then he should go up.

And this time, he can actually admit it, after all, life in the shelter is not happy, and he has the idea of living alone.

"Looking at the scale of the giant ants, the other party should be a team, such a scale, most of them are shouldering a mission, and it may not conflict with our needs, let's go around. ”

Hearing Zhao Wenrui say this, Emma and Owen were secretly relieved.

After the two of them last night, they still muttered. This time they went out to scavenge for waste, and so far their harvest was infinitely close to zero, and most of their ammunition supplies were consumed because of the previous battle.

They were very worried that Zhao Wenrui's mentality was unbalanced, and they wanted to make a big deal to reverse the loss.

Looking at it now, Zhao Wenrui's state is still okay.

If they don't have an opinion, then the proposal will often pass quickly, and Old Nick is a hard-working doer, not outstanding in combat, but stable in performance.

Lucius is hot-blooded, righteous, direct, and sincere, but because he is young and has been in the industry for a short time, he doesn't have much say in this small team, and he belongs to being called.

So with Zhao Wenrui's decision, the group first cautiously retreated, so as not to alarm the giant ants and cause unnecessary trouble, and then chose another route and moved towards the destination.

Zhao Wenrui: Their destination this time is the White Rock District north of Queens.

More than 100,000 people took refuge in New York during the outbreak of the virus, and blew up houses on both sides of the highway to create a barrier. Eventually, it was Maria Hill who helped evacuate the refugees at LaGuardia Airport after completing the evacuation there. Although not all of them went to Utah settlements, most of them ended well.

But the surviving forces in New York knew about it. In the first few decades, people were organized to go there many times to loot, and the scale was larger, and the looting became more and more thorough each time. Therefore, in the eyes of today's waste pickers, it has long lost its value.

Zhao Wenrui relied on the information advantage of the traverser and the use of the golden finger, knowing that after decades of gestation, it has a new value.

Last time, they went there under Zhao Wenrui's strong 'suggestion', although for many reasons they only won a corner of the periphery, and they didn't make much money, but they confirmed the potential value of the place.

Therefore, this morning, Zhao Wenrui mentioned that he wanted to go to Baishi District, and no one else objected. It's a relatively dangerous place, but it's the only place where you can be sure that you'll make a fortune if you succeed, and the team needs this kind of action that will definitely make money to get out of the predicament.

As for taking risks, it's a common occurrence for waste pickers. What's more, although the battle not long ago caused Zhao Wenrui to be injured and unconscious, it also gave several people a more intuitive understanding of the explosive power of this small group's fighting.

It can be said that as long as the performance is normal, the No. 5 scavenging group can already rank in the top five in the scavenging group in the shelter.

This kind of realization has increased the self-confidence of the group members a lot.

It's just that now the team of the Supreme Titan is also heading in that direction and occupying the best route, which makes the group a little depressed.

Emma and Owen even had divergent associations with the superstitious rumor that 'the big aunt came as a bad omen'.

Most of the waste pickers in this era are superstitious, and some waste pickers even reject female team members.

The industry environment is not friendly to women, and this atmosphere has affected everyone in the industry to a greater or lesser extent.

Comparatively speaking, Zhao Wenrui is relatively open in this regard.

At the beginning, it was a sentence: "Men are most afraid of others saying that they can't do it, and even if they really can't do it, they are ashamed to admit it, but they habitually dump the pot, especially to women." Emma looked the other way, and poached her boyfriend Owen from another scavenging group, solving the problem of lack of team doctors in one fell swoop.

Zhao Wenrui also misses this sentiment very much, after all, he was penniless at the beginning, and without Emma to help Zhang Luo, this scavenging group may not be able to be formed.

This is also the reason why Zhao Wenrui did not complain even a word after the accident occurred due to Emma's low-level mistake on this trip.

Thinking about the past feelings, he chose to let Emma reflect on herself.

Flying flakes floated in the air, decorating the desolate streets.

The freeze-thaw effect of the water fills the road with cracks, and plant seeds fall into these cracks and grow tenaciously, speeding up the process of their disappearance.

If it weren't for the buildings on both sides of the street, many of the lots would be difficult to identify, and even people would not have thought that there was a road at first glance.

About 30 years after the disaster, what UEF scientists called nature's counterattack began to occur all over the world.

In some places, alienated plants are simply combined with the original buildings, houses, and organic to form a bizarre landscape, which has caused a lot of trouble for waste pickers.

Zhao Wenrui: They are now traveling in such a location.

Since this is a 'deserted road' where only the general situation is known, everyone is very careful.

Zhao Wenrui also focused on the current road.

Weeds and shrubs are luxuriant, and the old yellow grass and dark brown branches are dotted with new green, but the barrenness is supported, and the air here is not fresh, but there is a faint smell of decay.

"Stink!" Old Nick reminded.

The special zombie stinky guy was the main force of the airborne transmission of the super zombie virus back then, and after a hundred years of transformation, it has a new special effect, which is hallucination.

This hallucinogenous toxin is quite high, with a high degree of similarity to the san drop value of the old Dominator system, and once excessive, it will not only cause permanent mental damage, but also may turn people into madness.

And the specific effect varies from person to person.

Zhao Wenrui was also 'lucky' to try the feeling of inhaling the toxin in excess, simply put, it was like scaring himself, always feeling that there were malicious eyes staring at him somewhere, and there was more than one, it was obviously a well-lit day, but it was a gloomy feeling, and the distant scenery occasionally had ghosting, and some kind of murmuring could be heard in the ears, or meaningless moaning and strange screams, not like human beings......

Later, when Zhao Wenrui was chatting with Emma, he half-jokingly said: "Probably the world that psychopaths know is like this......"

It's easy to say, but since then, Zhao Wenrui has been willing to sacrifice his sense of smell rather than reject the possibility of the toxin accumulating in his body. He was indeed frightened, that strange world, made him creepy.

And C Kane saw from this incident that he saw the jealousy and fear of the old rulers in his heart.

To him, the Old Dominator turned out to be a latent demonic existence. He hadn't really noticed this detail before.

The smell of toxins in the stinkers, some of which resemble the smell of dirt combined with the stench of decomposing corpses, is difficult to distinguish.

But when they breathe, they will make regular 'vomiting' sounds, like snoring, and like moaning.

Nick Sr., the auditor in charge of the group, was in time to identify it, and as the warning was issued, people began to wear face covers.

This mask is a modification of the modern dust mask, mainly the filter element, using some natural plants that are only available in this era, slightly spicy, reminiscent of onions, but can neutralize most of the harmful poisonous gases when breathing.

The skunk's perception was not keen, and the group did not hide too deliberately, but quickly passed through the area.

They were lucky enough to pass quickly and didn't have any other trouble.

For example, wild dogs.

In New York, at least, zombies aren't the toughest enemy for survivors.

The toughest thing to deal with is the wild dog.

The source of wild dogs is the stray dogs that used to be.

They have adapted to the changes in their environment more quickly than their 'pampered' pet relatives.

Thousands of years of domestication history is no match for a hundred years of natural selection oppression, and the stray dogs of the past have now regained their wildness, fierce and cunning.

They act in groups and will lure zombies with their barking.

And once it is fought, it is very likely to attract more zombies and wild dogs. Therefore, it is often not to fight, nor is it to hide.

Zhao Wenrui: When they formulated the route, they focused on avoiding wild dogs.

And in the end, the way they chose to avoid it was a little commotion, that is, to use the characteristics of wild dogs to be afraid of special mourning, to play side ball, to avoid the harassment of wild dogs with the power of special mourning, and at the same time to pay attention to avoiding special mourning, the best route is sorted out in this way.

Because of the special mourning of this era, he rarely leaves the lair, giving people the feeling that he is in retreat and cultivating immortals.

This time I took the alternate route, and the most suspenseful thing was the fear of encountering wild dogs.

In particular, the smell of toxins from the stinky guy is about the same as the 'smell of' to the wild dogs, so it is easy to encounter wild dogs where there are stinky guys.

I didn't run into it this time, so I was really lucky.

I don't know if it's Ji Tai Lai, and after leaving the stink area, Zhao Wenrui and the others avoided a group of wandering wild corpses because of Emma's inadvertent glance.

The crazy corpses in the city are simply cool runners, and they often start running for some inexplicable reason, making weird shouts as they run, and causing other crazy corpses to run with them.

The result is a bunch of Assassin's Creed-like Assassin's Creed-like Assassin Runners, where you chase and whizz by, and if a scavenger happens to meet them, it's immediately an encounter.

This time, the corpse runner was launched from a building, and Emma inadvertently noticed it, giving the group more time to hide, so that they successfully avoided the hundreds of 'big horse monkeys' that were jumping around.

After that, they also killed more than a dozen brainless zombies who 'leaned on the door and laughed'.

These zombies did not hide in the depths of the building, but in a shop facing the street, and the dense vegetation not only blocked the light for them, but also blocked the vision of Zhao Wenrui and his party vigilantly observed.

Old Nick's excellent hearing once again made a meritorious contribution, and Zhao Wenrui and the others were not caught off guard by the zombies.

With full firepower, they were able to eliminate the handful of zombies and escape before the other creatures arrived.

Seeing that I was about to reach the White Rock District, I suddenly heard gunshots, not dense, but very loud.

Old Nick reminded: "It's greenskins." ”

Owen subconsciously asked, "The greenskin's nest is in the southernmost place, how can they appear here?"

Zhao Wenrui's brows couldn't help frowning.

He realized that their group, most likely inadvertently, had caught up with a special event.

"Titans, greenskins, are all gathering in this direction, I'm afraid something is wrong. We may be able to get some money, but only if we are careful. Cheer up and sneak forward. ”

Zhao Wenrui quickly made a decision.

So the five people used potions and other things one after another, these items that are conducive to hiding and stealing are all time-sensitive, and they are called alchemy medicine by the people in the stronghold, and the price is expensive, Zhao Wenrui They are usually reluctant to use it, and now they want to be yellow birds, so they can't pick the door anymore.

After stealth, they basically blended into their surroundings with their equipment and alchemy, and even now that there was plenty of light, it was extremely difficult to spot, especially when they were not moving.

They even passed by a zombie attracted by the sound of green-skinned gunfire on the rest of the march, most recently. The zombies were less than a foot away, and they didn't even notice their presence.

After seeing three zombie teams in succession heading towards the location of the green skin, Zhao Wenrui decided to find a commanding height and observe it from a distance.

He wanted to see if the greenskins were fighting with the zombies normally, or if there was any special reason, after all, under normal circumstances, even if the greenskins were bloodthirsty and warlike, they would not do this kind of thing equivalent to launching a group mockery against the zombies in an area.

And in this context, Zhao Wenrui and they met another special team of people in a narrow way......
