Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mad Ghoul

Andy was standing next to one of the windows of the RV and looking out, and from just now, some strange guys started to appear outside.

Some emaciated guys in tattered clothes began to appear in twos and threes.

They look a bit like Cito, except that they have a corpse or a demented expression on their faces, their eyes are completely cloudy, some are brownish-red, some are black and green... Others have pale complexions, but no matter what color they are, their skin is covered with folds and growths, and it looks dirty and ugly.

Although there are still people in general, if you look closely, the backs of those guys are completely hunched, and the front neck is bent in the opposite direction of the back to appear longer than normal, and the curve of the back of the neck is like an S.

Some guys are skeletons wrapped in skin, and some guys look a little "fat", although they are fat, but that kind of fat is not natural, their hands, feet and head and other parts are completely out of harmony with the swollen body proportions, not so much fat, but the whole body has grown patches of tumors.

As Andy's car roared past, they woke up from their dazed progress or sluggishness as if they had been electrocuted, turned their heads sharply to look at the car, and then howled and stretched out their arms to spread their sharp nails and ugly mouths, and rushed towards here in the back, side, and front of the car.

There was some bump in the road again.

Andy didn't know it before, but now he knew, and the bumps were probably caused by the wheels running over the bodies of the rampaging zombies that had slammed into the front of them.

Zombies were still rushing at them, and they pounced after a dash in a trapeze position, reaching out their hands to try to grab the car, but it was clear that it was in vain.

Their claws made a screeching noise on the outer shell of the car, and they were thrown far behind.

The car continued to move forward, gradually shaking off the guys who were chasing frantically behind.

Eventually, the car came to a stop in a flat clearing.

Everyone got out of the car in full clothes, and there was still a vast desert around, but this side was not as dry as before, and there were some shadows of mountains standing in the distance, and there were some small green plants growing around.

Andy stepped out of the car and saw two people sitting in the cab in front of him with a crowbar and a wrench, jingling and not knowing what they were doing.

When I walked over and looked over, I was surprised to find that they seemed to be cleaning up the wreckage that was stuck on the inside of the wheels.

A man thrust the crowbar into the crack of the wheel and pried it out, and Andy could see that with his efforts, a horrific mutilated corpse was being forcibly pried out.

The other man was there with a big wrench, and if Andy was not mistaken, he was probably breaking some of the bones on the corpse.

Soon after, the wreckage was violently cleaned up, and it was an indescribable mass of flesh and blood.

Johnson walked over and took a look, then went over to the two drivers and told them to throw the rotten lump away from the meat, as the radul tend to have more radiation on them.

Looking back and seeing Andy looking at the blood in a daze, Johnson walked over.

"What's wrong? Scared? Haven't you seen so many berserk zombies.... Or are you called mad ghouls over there? ”

Andy nodded.

"This ..... It's a bit of an unusual number, is there a lot of people like this around that place? ”

Johnson nodded.

"There are generally not many out there.... The problem is inside, our recent observation is this, every once in a while, some radiation mutant creatures, including wild ghouls, for some unknown reason, go there in droves, and finally burrow into the ground and disappear. ”

"Wait, I've heard you say this many times, aren't we going to the ruins of the Atlantis Spa? Why do you have to go underground? ”

"Ah, this, it looks like Sito didn't have time to tell you all yesterday."

Johnson looked into the distance.

"The Atlantis Mansion sank deep underground after the Great War.... Or maybe it's not a good word to sink in, because based on what we see on our two superficial entrances, there must have been an unexplained collapse directly underneath Atlantis, and the building itself was destroyed by the aftermath of the Great War, and the combination of the two has turned the original location of Atlantis into a huge underground ruin filled with sand. ”

Hearing this, Andy understood what the nature of this matter was.

"So..... It must have been filled with quicksand, how did you get there? ”

Johnson frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something again, so he just dropped a sentence and turned away from him.

Andy reluctantly walks back and finds everyone carrying something down, boxes of food and water, and some oddly shaped machinery, one of which seems to be a small nuclear power generator.

The two guys who hadn't spoken to Andy when he first came in were now awake and busy there.

Sito was checking the circuitry of a robot, and Andy noticed that the guy looked the same as the one he had seen in Tibbetts Prison with an oval body with limbs and no neck.

Sito checked for a moment and reclosed the back cover of the side of the robot, and then the robot turned back on from the shutdown state with his waist down, stood up straight again, and walked away.

"Protection & Service~"

Andy looked at the back of the green-painted robot that seemed to have been modified, and there was a huge backpack-like thing attached to it, and it looked like it had greatly increased its weight capacity.

"How's my little donkey?"

Cito looked up and smiled at Andy.

"This guy was checked out of a ruin when I went to it before, and everyone said it was scrap metal, but I just thought it was still alive, and now it's working very well, and I've done some modifications to it."

Andy looked at the robot that was staggering a little and felt that Cito still had a hand.

"It's good that having our own robot can help us a lot, but I've heard that those pre-war robots have safety risks, and if you're not careful, you can become a killing machine."

"Then you can rest assured, I can ensure that its combat suppressor is in an intact state, and besides, it doesn't have any weapons installed on it, how can it become a killing machine?"

Sito continued to talk to Andy about his unique insights on robotics technology, and listened to Andy as if he was listening to a book from heaven, so he quickly interrupted Sito's speech after a while.

"Yesterday's incident is not finished, Johnson asked me to come and ask you, how do we get in the ruins of the Atlantis Tower?"

"It's easy, just walk in."
