Chapter 19: The Master of the Wasteland

Hearing this person call himself an old popsicle, Lao Zhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he still knew what a popsicle was, but he didn't understand why this person called himself an old popsicle.

And judging from this person's tone, although this title is a little ridiculous, there is no malice.

Lao Zhu looked at the person who came and asked, "What does the old popsicle mean?" ”

"By old popsicles, I mean those of you who have just come out of the freezer."

Hearing Lao Zhu's question, the man's cheeks couldn't help but tremble, although because of the existence of the scar, his current expression looked a little terrifying, but he could barely tell that this person was smiling.

"Frozen in the freezer for hundreds of years, is it similar to an old popsicle?"

"That's right."

Lao Zhu nodded consciously, judging from the meaning revealed in this person's words, it should be someone who created a shelter during the war, and when the war broke out, these people froze themselves in the freezer in the shelter in order to avoid the war.

When the set time is up, or it is turned on by outsiders, these people will naturally wake up again.

It seems that many of the wastelanders mentioned by the simulator came here this way.

can freeze people for hundreds of years without dying, and the world's science and technology are really very developed.

It's just that he originally had the impression that the wasteland should be a disorderly and chaotic world, but looking at this person, he didn't seem to have any ill will towards himself.

Was he lucky and the first person he met was a good person, or was this wasteland world different from what he imagined?

Lao Zhu temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and then asked, "What did you mean by saying just now that this world does not belong to human beings?" ”

"Literally."

Speaking of this topic, the man's expression was slightly lower, "War has changed the ecology of this world, and it has also brought wounds that are difficult to heal to this world, resulting in the inability of human beings to survive in this world. ”

"But life is strong, and human beings can't survive, it doesn't mean that other species can't, or even humans can't survive, but in order to adapt to the environment, they began to evolve rapidly."

"In the end, I completely changed my way of life and became more adaptable to this harsh world."

"We call the creatures that survive mutated creatures, probably to adapt to the direct rays of ultraviolet rays, their eyes are basically useless, and their skin has degenerated into flesh that is strong enough to withstand ultraviolet rays."

"In order to survive, after losing these things, in order to hunt, they become faster and the rest of their senses become sharper."

"But the good thing is that they don't have any brains, otherwise we would have a hard time."

After saying this, the man remembered to introduce himself, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Sioux City, and I am the manager of a nearby shelter, what do you call it?" ”

"My name is ...... Zhu Biao. ”

Lao Zhu didn't know if there was a fault in the history of the wasteland world, so for the sake of insurance, he still borrowed Zhu Biao's name temporarily.

Thousands of years have passed, if there is no fault in history, it is estimated that some people may still know about it, but Zhu Biao will definitely be unknown.

It's just that he thought about what Su Cheng said just now, and he always felt that something was wrong.

From the way Su Cheng put away his helmet just now, this is very similar to the nanotechnology speculated in later generations, if this is the case, it means that there is no fault in the technology of this world.

And when there is no fault line in technology, wouldn't it be easy to solve some faster mutants, why would Sioux City be so jealous.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu didn't hide it, and directly asked his doubts, "Judging from the technology on your body, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with those mutants, right?" Why are you so jealous of those mutants? ”

"Hehe......"

Su Cheng seemed to have met people who came out of the freezer before, so he didn't have much surprise about Lao Zhu's question, but he chuckled a little helplessly, and then said, "You underestimate those mutants too much." ”

Su Cheng shook his head, then raised his hand to the building in the city, which was about a hundred meters high, and then asked, "Look at that building, see if you can see something?" ”

"Huh?"

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully at the building.

It was the tallest building in the abandoned city, but it was so far away that they could only see an outline from it.

After Lao Zhu observed it carefully, he was shocked, and then subconsciously blurted out: "That building is alive??? ”

"That's right."

Seeing Lao Zhu see it, Su Cheng showed a helpless look on his face, "That's the mother nest, and the whole building is its body." ”

"This thing is almost immune to energy damage, even if it is a gunpowder weapon, its lethality is not very strong."

"And most importantly, it's called a brood because it hatches mutants."

"Among the mutants hatched by it, some elite mutants have some characteristics of the brood, which are difficult to destroy unless they are heavy firepower."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng pointed to the scar on his face, then laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "My face was captured by a mutant hatched by a brood. ”

"If I hadn't been wearing a nano helmet at the time, I'm afraid this claw would have smashed my head to pieces."

"Now, do you still think these mutants are easy to bully?"

Hearing Su Cheng say this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but be silent for a long time, if the mutant is really so powerful, I'm afraid that this world will not perish, it is already a very lucky thing.

At the very least, he couldn't figure out what means he should use to destroy the brood that could withstand most of the damage.

The First Clan

Su Cheng seemed to see what Lao Zhu was thinking, so he explained: "But you don't have to worry so much, even if you are a mutant, you have to abide by the law of energy." ”

"The bigger the body, the more energy is consumed, and in order to replenish energy, those broods will hatch a large number of ordinary mutants, and they will not stop replenishing their energy all the time."

"As for those elite mutants, because they consume too much energy, the brood will not hatch easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

"So what we have to do is just sweep up the ordinary mutants if we have nothing to do, so that when the energy supply of the brood is gone, we don't need to do it at all, and it will starve to death by itself."

"I'm afraid...... It's not that simple, is it? ”

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So far, how many broods have you starved to?" ”

“……”

Seeing that Lao Zhu directly grasped the essence of the problem, Su Cheng's expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he looked at Lao Zhu for a while, and then said with some resentment:

"So far...... Not a single one. ”
