Chapter 9: Blackstone City

【Daily Quest Refresh】

[Kill the xenomorph located in the Xintiandi Internet café in the county seat, and reward 30 technology points.] 】

With the prompt sound of the system, Zhao Yu woke up leisurely.

"It's night?!"

The time for the daily mission to refresh was the moment night fell, and hearing this voice, Zhao Yu understood that he had slept for almost twelve hours.

"Goo~~!"

As soon as he got up, he felt an empty stomach, Zhao Yu took some pure water and drank it to his heart's content.

After counting the weapons, Zhao Yu walked to the control room and browsed the surveillance at the entrance of the base at 30 times the speed.

Halfway through the progress bar, a shadow flashed, and Zhao Yu hurriedly paused and retreated.

After some careful inspection, I finally saw the appearance of the uninvited guest.

"It's a xenomorph again......"

Zhao Yu's face became solemn, and according to the surveillance, six hours ago, an xenomorph passed in front of his base.

Judging from its trajectory, it seems that something is going on and it needs to be hurried back.

"Look at the direction, are you going back to the county seat?!"

Zhao Yu was a little stunned, he didn't know much about xenomorphs, he only knew that they were the products of human beings being alienated, and he had no spiritual intelligence, and he relied on instinct to act.

And the alien species in the lens are obviously different from what he perceives.

"Either this xenomorph has a little bit of a thought, or it has some kind of way of communication between its kind, and some other xenomorph has called out to it......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu called up the audio that came with the monitoring, lowered the frequency, and checked it.

Sure enough, about ten minutes ago, there was a very low frequency but some regular fluctuation in the audio of the surveillance.

"That's not good news......

Zhao Yu suddenly felt a big head, today's daily task is to ask him to go to the county seat to kill a xenomorph.

If the alien species who fights with him shakes people at a critical time, then he is too dangerous.

After being distressed for a while, Zhao Yu still decided to do this daily mission.

One is that he can't wait that long, and the 30 science and technology points reward of daily tasks can save 30 hours and build an energy station earlier.

The second is that he has no food at all now, and the longer he drags on, the weaker his body becomes, so he must take advantage of the fact that he is now full of strength and in good mental state to go to the county town to find something to eat.

"There are mutant beasts in the county, ordinary people don't dare to go, so it shouldn't be difficult to find food......"

Walking out of the gate of the base, Zhao Yu pricked up his ears and listened left and right, but did not hear any strange sounds, and then continued to walk towards the gate.

Along the edge of the woods, walking in the direction of the county seat for about ten minutes, Zhao Yu suddenly stopped.

"Why is it so quiet today?!"

He was a little stunned, on weekdays, at night, there was the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, but today it seemed to be quiet and a little weird.

Not only was there no cry of wild beasts, but not even the sound of gnats and crickets was heard.

Stopping in place, Zhao Yu's face was full of apprehension, this situation was unprecedented, no matter how you think about it, it will not be a good thing.

"Technology Point ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yu finally took a step again.

Even if there is danger waiting in front of him, he must go over, even if he doesn't do it every day, if he doesn't kill the xenomorph, he must find enough food to live for three or five days.

In this way, even if he stays in the base for the next few days, he can exchange the energy station for the technology points that have grown over time.

On the next road, Zhao Yu walked extremely cautiously, but whenever there was any wind and grass, he would stop and watch.

Stop-and-go, half an hour away, just an hour's walk.

Coming to the outside of the county seat, the moonlight sprinkled on the building complex, and he could barely see the outline, Zhao Yu looked at it from a distance, which was completely different from when he passed by yesterday.

When I passed by yesterday, I could see traces of xenomorph running from time to time, but at this moment, there was silence.

"It's weird......"

Zhao Yu only felt that his scalp was numb, and the current situation of the city looked like a ghost town.

But he has already come here, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he has to break through!

The only good thing is that the Dailies mark the location of the Xenos and can be seen on the mission map.

However, you can only see the coordinates and the distance you are from the target, and you can't see the specific situation of the destination.

It's okay, it saves Zhao Yu the effort of searching.

The xenomorph of the mission mark is considered to be on the periphery of the county seat, Zhao Yu crossed two streets, and when he came across a non-staple food store, he would go in and take a look.

It's a pity that this place is too far away, and things have long been emptied by waste pickers, which makes Zhao Yu a little regretful.

After passing through a large cross and walking forward for a distance of more than 100 meters, Zhao Yu finally saw the xenomorph mentioned by the mission.

"That's it?!"

He was a little dazed, and at a semi-underground entrance, an xenomorph who had been weighed down by a giant plaque was lying there honestly.

Zhao Yu looked around, and after making sure that there were no other threats, he walked over quickly.

"Roar~~!"

Seeing someone coming, the xenomorph suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhao Yu, and let out a low roar.

Zhao Yu approached a distance of three or four meters, leaned over to take a look, and the tail of this xenomorph was also suppressed.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took a few quick steps, raised the machete, and fell high, without a little effort, directly cutting off the head of this xenomorph.

[Quest completion, 30 technology points will be rewarded.] 】

"Is it so easy?!"

Zhao Yu was a little surprised that the task was completed so quickly, but he didn't forget the second thing he did today, which was to look for food.

Turning his head to look at the Internet café at the semi-underground entrance, Zhao Yu thought that an Internet café like this should also have some snacks, so he simply walked in directly, intending to search for it.

The Internet café is underground, and when there is no electricity, it is naturally dark.

Zhao Yu squinted at the situation inside the Internet café by taking advantage of the little moonlight that spilled in from the entrance.

Soon, he found the bar, where the usual snacks are.

Next to the bar in this Internet café, there is also a small room that seems to be a place dedicated to selling snacks.

Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva, secretly praying in his heart that there was something edible in it.

Walking to the bar, there was nothing of value on the shelves behind it, except for a few useless dolls.

Pulling open the cash box, there were still some untaken banknotes scattered inside.

This thing, in the last days, dogs don't want it!

Zhao Yu shook his head, gave up the idea of continuing to search the front desk, and walked towards the small room next to him.

As soon as he walked in, he smelled a strange smell.

"What does it smell like?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yu found that in this small room, there were several corpses that had been gnawed to the skeleton, and on the shelves, there were still a lot of untorn bags of food.

There's something!

Zhao Yu was overjoyed and was about to step forward to search for food, when a faint voice came from the side.

"Don't move!"

Zhao Yu paused, slowly turned his head, and on the ground not far from the door, in a shadow that almost blended with the environment, there was a human-like shadow, holding an object that looked like a gun.

Zhao Yu suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to raise his hands high, for fear that the people in the shadows would misunderstand.

"Who are you?!"

The voice in the shadows rang out again, a slightly hoarse female voice.

Woman?!

Only then did Zhao Yu realize that the person in the shadows seemed to be a woman.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to underestimate the other party, after all, people had guns in their hands.

"I'm a resident of the neighborhood, and I don't have anything to eat at home, so I'm looking for something to eat in the county......

The woman was silent for a long time, as if judging whether what he said was true or false, or looking at Zhao Yu.

The other party was in the dark, and Zhao Yu could only see a dark shadow, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance and figure at all.

"What weapon do you have?!"

The woman asked again.

Zhao Yu said without thinking: "A handmade spear, an iron rod and a machete......"

"Leave things over there, stay away!"

The woman's muzzle tilted and gestured for a position.

Zhao Yu couldn't figure out the purpose of the other party's here, so he could only do so and threw aside the three weapons he was carrying.

It's a pity, if only there were daggers......

Zhao Yu sighed secretly, these three weapons are too big, they are bright, not like a dagger that can hide close to the body for self-defense.

"I'll take a look around ......" The woman didn't make a fuss and let Zhao Yu turn in a circle.

Zhao Yu did so, and when he turned to the third circle, the woman suddenly said, "What are you carrying in your trouser pocket?!" ”

"Huh?!"

Zhao Yu was stunned, and said a little dazedly: "Nothing?!"

"Clothes and pants off!"

Who knows, the woman's next words directly embarrassed Zhao Yu to the point of picking his toes.

"Here?!" He said with some uncertainty.

"Hurry up!" The woman urged.

Zhao Yu had no choice but to start taking off his shirt and leaving a vest, thinking that it would be fine.

Who knew that the woman did not give up, so that he even took off his vest.

"Take a turn!"

Zhao Yu was naked, and at the request of the woman, he turned around again.

Now, he understands that the other party is afraid that he has a weapon hidden on him.

But what made him a little puzzled was that the woman seemed to have been in place all the time, and she didn't know what it meant.

"Pants!"

Under the woman's reminder, Zhao Yu also took off his pants and left a pair of pants.

"You won't take this off, will you?!" Zhao Yu said uneasily.

"Take it off!" The woman's attitude is very resolute.

Zhao Yu was speechless, is this woman afraid that he will hide a grenade in his crotch?!

In the face of life and death, Zhao Yu couldn't care about anything else, so he could only do it, and after taking it off, he turned around again.

"Smack~!"

At this moment, the woman suddenly pressed something, and a palm-sized flashlight was turned on.

Zhao Yu subconsciously blocked in front of his eyes, and after getting used to the light, he saw the situation on the woman's side clearly.

Her upper body, wearing a pitch-black special combat suit, and the lower half of her body ......

There is no lower body!

What shocked Zhao Yu was that the woman in front of her didn't have a lower body, or rather, her lower body from the bottom of her ass was torn off by something.

On the ground, there was still a pool of black-red blood, and judging from the degree of coagulation, it seemed that some time had passed.

It's like this, and it's not dead yet?!

Zhao Yu was a little shocked, and then found that next to the woman, there were several bottles of spray that looked very high-end.

Hemostatic spray?!

Zhao Yu once saw someone selling this thing in the gathering place, and the price was very expensive, he just took it with him and took a look, but he didn't buy it.

"Have you ever played with a pistol?!"

The woman's sudden question made Zhao Yu a little confused.

He coughed and said, "Which one are you asking?!" ”

The woman's face froze, and in the next second, her eyes were fierce, and she said coldly: "You want to die?!" ”

"Played!"

Zhao Yu went out and said with a dead face.

The woman nodded slightly, put the small flashlight aside with her left hand, and the light turned on her.

Then, she checked it, quickly disassembled the magazine, showed Zhao Yu the bullet inside, and then reloaded.

"See? There are bullets......"

Zhao Yu looked at her inexplicably.

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "You put on your underwear......"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he didn't ask much, and did it honestly.

After he was dressed, the woman said, "Come here, carry me out......"

"Where is the back?"

Zhao Yu also seemed to have guessed her purpose, and asked with some curiosity.

Looking at the appearance of the woman, she is obviously not an ordinary person, at least not a person from this area.

Judging by the equipment she carried, it was more like a fighter of some kind of large team.

"Do you know how to get out of this county?!"

"Yes!"

Under the woman's command, Zhao Yu turned his back and slowly approached her, and just as he squatted down, his head was pressed against the muzzle of the gun.

"Don't play tricks, as long as you carry me out, I will definitely let you go......"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Do I have any benefits?!" ”

"Benefits?!"

The woman couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect this person to be so bold, and in this environment, he would dare to ask for benefits.

"What do you want?!" She didn't refuse, and asked rhetorically.

"Guns and food!"

Zhao Yu said seriously.

Who knows, the woman didn't refuse, and after thinking for two seconds, she directly agreed, "No problem!" ”

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his back to the woman, and said, "Then can I go to the shelves over there and get something to eat?!" ”

"No way!"

The woman frowned and said, "If you go outside the county, I will give you food......"

She seemed worried that Zhao Yu thought she was planning to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and added, "I have other companions!" ”

"How can I trust you?!" Zhao Yu was naturally a little scared, and only hoped that the other party could give a more secure plan.

"I'm from the Blackstone City Thorn Clan, I won't lie to you......"

Blackstone City, Thorn Troopers?!

Zhao Yu was a little dazed, Black Rock City had never heard of it, and the Thorn Clan was an unfamiliar term, it sounded like a team in a game.

"You don't know Black Rock City?!" The woman seemed to have noticed Zhao Yu's situation and asked in some surprise.

"No, I don't know, I haven't heard of ......," Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.

"Haven't you been to a nearby gathering place?!" The woman asked with a frown.

"Uh, one of the closest gathering places to my house was destroyed last month......"

The woman touched her chin and said casually, "Black Rock City is newly established, and it is the largest gathering place in this area......

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, thought of Meng Xian's genetic potion, and asked, "Is there a Reed Group in Black Rock City?" ”

"Yes, there is a branch that is capable of providing tests and potions of the highest fourth order......"

The woman was a little impatient, "Okay, my dignified people from Black Rock City, will they still lie to you?" ”

Zhao Yu had no choice but to stop asking, and under the coercion of the woman, he squatted down and carried her on his back.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Yu thought that a woman should be very light, but as a result, she also had a bulging backpack on her back, and she didn't know what was in it, it was very heavy.

After leaving the Internet café, I looked around, and as before, the streets were quiet, and all the xenomorphs, radiant beasts, and monsters of all kinds had disappeared and disappeared.

"Hurry up, it's dangerous to be a little late!" The woman urged.

Zhao Yu's heart moved, and he understood what this woman seemed to know.

But he didn't dare to ask more, and hurried out of the city with her on his back.

Out of the city, the woman didn't say to stop, and Zhao Yu continued to run along the way she came.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, there was a sudden sound of electricity behind my ears.

"Zizizi...... Thorns...... Can you hear me......"

Radio?!

Zhao Yu continued to walk, and after walking a distance of a few hundred meters, the radio communication became clear.

"Thorn team, report on your situation......"

"Thorn team, 1 person left......" The woman's voice was a little low, as if she was sad that her teammate was dead.

Zhao Yu also got the code name of the woman on his back, Rose, from the title on the other end.

"Rose, what about the mission? Is it done?! On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the team's boss was obviously a little anxious.

Rose had a pain on her face, compared to her teammates, and she only looked at whether their task had been completed.

She let out a long sigh and replied, "Mission accomplished, I'm disabled, come pick me up and bring some food......"

After speaking, he hung up the communication directly.

Then, she patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, put me down!" ”

Waiting for Zhao Yu to put her down, Rose said again: "My people will come to pick me up by helicopter immediately, and they will give you the food and weapons you want......

Zhao Yu had a strange face, hesitated, and said, "No need, I can go back to the county seat and pick up some more things......"

"I advise you not to go, there will be a riot in this county next, and you will be looking for ......death when you go back," Rose obviously knew something, and persuaded seriously.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to ask more, showing that he was going to leave, and continued: "Since I sent you, then I can go, right?!" ”

"You don't want food and weapons anymore?!" Rose was a little stunned, this person dared to ask her for favors before, but now she doesn't want it?!

Zhao Yu couldn't say it, he asked for something at the beginning, he wanted to see if this woman had murderous intentions towards him, and whether she would unload the mill and kill the donkey.

The result he got was not, so he didn't desperately carry the woman out.

It even felt like it was possible to get weapons and food.

But now, as she could tell from her conversation with Blackstone, her mission was very high, and the contents of her backpack were important.

Because he couldn't figure out how important it was, Zhao Yu was worried that if he stayed here, he would be killed by the people from Black Rock City.

Rose frowned slightly, as if she saw Zhao Yu's concern, and after thinking for a moment, she threw the gun in her hand to him, and took out a few compressed biscuits from the side of her backpack and threw them over.

"Since you don't dare to ask for anything else, then take these away as a reward......"

Zhao Yu took the gun, but he was a little stunned, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?!" ”

Rose scoffed, "Do you dare?!" ”

Zhao Yu smiled, said thank you, turned his head and ran.

Escaped for a while, and when he was shuttling through the woods, he heard the sound of spiral pulp in the sky in the distance, and Zhao Yu hurriedly hid.

After a while, three helicopters flew by, and it seemed that the Black Rock City was very strong, and the contents of the Rose backpack seemed to be very important.

Zhao Yu pressed his body against the trunk of the tree, did not dare to move, and honestly waited for the helicopter to fly by.

After a few minutes or so, the helicopter returned and flew back the same way, presumably to get Rose in its hands.

After hearing that the departing helicopters were still three, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid to come three, take two, and leave one to do him.

Fortunately, I don't know if the people in Black Rock City didn't care about him, or if Rose didn't tell them about her situation.

After waiting for a while, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar in the county.

"Mutant Beast?!"

Zhao Yu was taken aback, it was the first time he had seen a mutant beast so angry.

What happened?!

It quickly occurred to him that it had something to do with Rose's Thorn Clan.

The wrath of the mutant beast, no one dares to touch its edge.

Zhao Yu didn't care about anything else, and directly spread his legs and ran wildly.

Originally, there were more than twenty minutes left, but he ran back in five minutes.

It wasn't until he entered the base that Zhao Yu relaxed a little, sat on the ground, and began to gasp.

After resting for a while, Zhao Yu checked his weapon, the standard pistol, which was much stronger than the homemade earthen gun that had been circulating in the gathering place before.

And judging by the degree of its use, it seems to be newly created, which shows that the Black Rock City has a certain industrial system.

There are not many bullets, only one magazine, but they are better than a machete.

"It's a pity that the machete was also lost......"

Zhao Yu doesn't feel sorry, with this gun, there is a little more guarantee in safety, and there are compressed biscuits, saving some food, it should be able to last a day or two.

All over the body, except for compressed biscuits and pistols, there is only one pants left, and they are dirty, especially a pair of feet, which are even more black.

Zhao Yu went into the bathroom and took a shower, wanting to exercise, but he was worried that he would consume too much physical strength.

I could only lie on the bed and count the sheep while thinking about the situation on the other side of Black Rock City.

After thinking about it for a while, I fell asleep unconsciously, and woke up again, and it was the next morning.

I checked the situation of the technology points for the first time, and as expected, I made up enough 100 points for the energy station, and there were 2 points left.

Zhao Yu suddenly stood up excitedly, "Finally able to build an energy station......
