Chapter 15: Depart, head to the heart of the disaster area
"Okay, but we can only get closer first, and if there is a problem we must retreat."
Lin Xuan didn't know what Su Yan wanted to do, but he still got ready, carried Su Yan on his back, and walked to the northwest.
This time, perhaps because Su Yan was a little anxious, she lay on Lin Xuan's body, hooking his neck with one hand and pointing in the direction of the destination with the other.
So much so that it was inevitable that Lin Xuan was attached to his body, and he squeezed it from time to time.
Latter:......
It's trying to induce me to sin!
The road was silent, but it was not peaceful, and there were corpse creatures scurrying around, eating each other.
And Lin Xuan used the corpse control ability to make the corpse creatures ignore them one after another. It was only when he saw the lone star-level corpse creature that he took action to destroy the corpse and take the core.
When he reached the City C bank, he stopped, looked around, and walked in.
He remembered that there was a vault here, and there should have been a lot of gold, and gold was hard currency even in the last days.
After all, it's not like paper money, which is worthless in times of severe inflation or special times.
It is not only a popular ornament, but also plays an important role in the fields of science and medicine.
It is also a relatively rare metal, so there is a saying handed down in ancient times: antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.
When he came to the bank, Lin Xuan saw several bank cards on the ground, and the ATM next to him was also lit.
So curiously, I picked up one, used the eye of insight to get the password, and tried to withdraw money.
But after some operation, it didn't work, and I don't know if it was because of a system error, or because the camera was damaged, and it was impossible to tell whether he was the card owner or not.
At that moment, he looked at a skeleton on the ground, put the bank card over, and shook his head.
This is fate, I saved my whole life of money and put it in the bank, but I didn't get it out and encountered a catastrophe, and I was not blessed to enjoy life.
As for whether the relatives of the deceased's children and grandchildren would find savings records and withdraw the money in other local banks, Lin Xuan did not think about it anymore.
At this moment, he came to the entrance of the vault, used his ability to open the locked door with layers of intricate components, and walked inside.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw several skeletons, apparently eaten by something.
Immediately after, three zombies rushed over, and were instantly opened by sharp kitchen knives.
After Lin Xuan took a few more steps inside, his eyes widened a little, he had only seen it on TV before, but now that he was really in it, he knew how great the visual impact was.
As far as the eye can see, a large number of belongings are stored in those cabinets and safes, and the charming luster makes people want to lie down and feel it.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan now has extraordinary strength, and he is no longer very interested in ordinary money, otherwise he may have the bad idea of taking it all home and putting it on the bed.
It's no wonder that some characters on TV like to put a lot of money in the wall, in the bed, rather than in the bank.
After all, who is not confused and who does not swell with money?
The feeling of having the banknote in hand is stable!
Without thinking too much, Lin Xuan came to the place where the gold bars were stored, took out more than two dozen pieces and put them in his backpack, and then left dozens of crystal nuclei and a note in a hurry and left.
I don't know why, he inexplicably felt like he was being watched, but after a closer look with the Eye of Insight, he didn't find anything abnormal.
It's just that it's a little weak to break into the vault and get gold bars.
I hope that when the army and relevant departments come to pick up the gold in the future, they will not be held accountable.
Lin Xuan went out, and under Su Yan's urging, he had to speed up and rush to the northwest.
Along the way, there are star mutant creatures everywhere, and they are getting stronger and stronger, and in some places there are even groups of mutant creatures and organized hunting.
But they were all avoided or destroyed by Lin Xuan one by one.
As we go deeper and deeper into the core of the disaster area, more and more human bones appear on the road, and most of them have been turned into zombies before they are devoured with flesh and blood.
From this point of view, it is indeed true that the news says that the probability of corpse transformation in the core area is greater than that in the periphery.
Many people are eaten by other corpse creatures after becoming zombies, but they don't know what kind of creatures they are.
It stands to reason that mortal-level zombies have no problem dealing with dozens of 1-star corpse transformation insects by virtue of their size advantage, plus they have no thinking and are not afraid of death, it is very possible to exchange with the limit of 1-star corpse transformation cats and dogs.
What's more, the first target for devouring corpse creatures is the same kind before the corpse.
There were so many humans before the catastrophe, so they should be able to take advantage of the corpse after the transformation and seize the dominance of an area, right?
But I didn't even find a small zombie along the way, only occasionally I saw three or two wandering, but I saw a few large groups of corpses turning into cats, dogs, rats and insects.
Is it because there were too many pets and abandoned pets before the cataclysm, or is there some other change that has prevented the zombies in this area from developing?
Lin Xuan looked at it with the eye of insight, didn't find any problems, didn't think much about it, and continued to walk briskly.
The closer you get to the core of the disaster area, the more bones left behind by the devouring flesh and blood of the living, and looking at the clothes, most of them are soldiers.
As in the previous quarter, they are all fully armed and equipped with light exoskeleton armor.
This is a kind of exoskeleton armor without power source, which is relatively lightweight, which can reduce the weight of the combatant and protect the joints without hindering flexible movement.
Although the disadvantage is that the physical protection cannot be put in place, as long as the materials are well supplied, mass production can be carried out.
Judging by the news, this armor should have been equipped with the whole army.
In addition, Lin Xuan also saw some half-covered exoskeleton armor with power source, which can better protect most parts of the user's body, but the disadvantage is that the flexibility is slightly less.
After looking around and looking at the sky again, Lin Xuan still chose to use his ability to control the metal and place the remains of these soldiers in the surrounding unoccupied houses.
At the same time, as he walked, he collected scattered firearms and light gun mounts, most of which were hidden nearby, and a few were kept with him.
After all, manipulation also consumes a lot of energy, especially when it comes to killing zombies.
Later, use the ability to levitate the gun a certain distance away from you, attracting and killing zombie creatures to maximize efficiency.
"Yeon-yeon, if you go any further, you need to cross the bridge to the other side." Lin Xuan said.
He remembered the corpse fish in the fresh market before, and he didn't know what the situation was in the river now.
Due to industrial pollution, overfishing and other reasons, Xiangshui does not have as many fishery resources as it used to be.
But in some places, it is said that fishery resources are scarce, but in fact, there are still many fish, not to mention, there are all kinds of aquatic insects and amphibians, so the water is definitely not safer than the shore.
I don't know what it will be like when I cross the bridge.
