Chapter 182: City of the Dead
The scene of depression and decay in front of us is like that of the end of World War II, when every house was closed, and the streets were full of mutants with mutilated bodies and terrible faces.
The streets and alleys are full of corpses that have been exposed to the heat for several days, and their bellies have bulged into balloons. From time to time, intermittent moans came from the dark corners, and the listeners were creepy.
Foul-smelling green wastewater meanders along the gravel road, and you can't see where the source is.
"It's so scary, this is like the city of death in the game......" Zhang Xiaojuan subconsciously tightened her neckline.
It was obviously a high temperature of 40 degrees, but a few people only felt cold on their backs.
Inside the walls are the exponential and severe nuclear pollution, and outside the walls are all kinds of bloodthirsty mutated animals, these people have no way to escape but to wait for death in silence.
Just as a few people were concentrating on the surrounding environment, a pair of shriveled and twisted hands suddenly grabbed Sun Tiantian's ankles.
"Ahh
Sun Tiantian whispered softly and subconsciously lowered her head.
"Give...... Give me something to eat......"
A big white face that seemed to be inflated lifted from Sun Tiantian's feet.
The voice was hoarse and rough with a hint of sharpness, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It can only be seen that it is about 1.70 meters or so, and the lower half of his body is limp and paralyzed on the ground.
The facial features on the inflatable face seemed to be melting, and the stubborn ones grew at will, which was extremely uncoordinated.
"Please...... Give me something to eat...... We've seen ......"
Cloudy eyes looked at Lu Sheng expectantly, revealing a desire to survive.
Sun Tiantian carefully withdrew her foot, pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "This person is wearing clothes that seem to be from the Tengfei base, as well as epaulettes and team logos." ”
The uniform of the Takeoff Base refers to the pre-apocalyptic military standards, and the epaulettes can judge the rank of the person.
This inflatable face should be the middle and high-level of the Tengfei base, and there is a high probability that they participated in the joint grain sweeping, so they said that they had met Lu Sheng.
Han Rui was timid, and was startled by this terrifying face, and the small bag she was carrying fell to the ground at once.
The zipper of the bag was open, and the snacks and beef jerky inside rolled out halfway.
Zhang Xiaojuan immediately leaned over and picked up the bag, and her tone was rare and serious, "Be careful." ”
When the personnel of Tengfei Base who were lying on the ground saw the beef jerky and snacks, their misplaced eyes immediately trembled excitedly, and they quickly crawled over and hugged them in their arms with their hands supporting their bodies.
"It's so pitiful......" Han Rui couldn't bear it, and silently shrank behind Zhang Xiaojuan's back.
The man struggled to stand up, picked up the beef jerky and tore open the package with difficulty, and was about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly he was hit by a stone on the back of his hand.
Lu Sheng raised his eyes vigilantly and caught a glimpse of a narrow door open in a private house not far away.
A few pairs of bright black eyes appeared in the crack of the door, looking at them curiously.
After a few seconds, seeing that Lu Sheng and the others ignored the people on the ground, the people in the door dared to come out.
Four eight or nine-year-old children, who look a little thin, but their appearance is quite normal, and there are no signs of abnormality.
Several children glanced at Lu Sheng, rushed over and snatched away all the beef jerky and snacks.
"Stinky cripple!"
"Kill you! Dare to eat good things! ”
"You uniformed people should starve to death!"
"If you don't hit you for a day, you're not honest!"
"Didn't you use to be very horizontal! Speak! ”
The children seemed to take pleasure in torturing the people on the ground, and they formed a circle and you punched and kicked the man.
The man had no ability to resist at all, so he could only protect his head with his arms and silently endure the bullying from the children.
"These children look like they are ......all alive and well," Zhang Xiaojuan stared at a few children not far away, "They don't seem to be affected by radiation?" ”
Lu Sheng frowned slightly, and touched his strong furry ears, "Can you see that there is anything special about these children?" ”
"It's special, it's very ordinary."
Zhuang Zhuang didn't even raise his head, and stated simply and directly, "It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of human without any abilities. ”
"It's all 0.5 scum whose combat power is not as good as that of dogs."
After all, they have been in the end of the world for a while, and they are dealing with all kinds of zombies and supernatural people every day, and they have not met such pure ordinary people for a long time.
"Normally, ordinary people are much worse than the physical fitness of the supernatural, if the supernatural are disabled by the effects of radiation, why are these ordinary children okay?" Sun Tiantian looked at Xu Yi curiously.
Xu Yi's narrow eyes behind the lenses flashed a ghostly light, "If it weren't for close contact with nuclear radiation, usually the sequelae of radiation would have a development cycle of several years. However, the cell metabolism of the paranormal person is faster, and the cycle time is also shortened. ”
"In other words, in the current Takeoff Base, the identities of ordinary people and supernatural people are reversed?"
Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly realized, "Here, it will take a few years for the sequelae of ordinary people to appear, so they are now turned into serfs and singing." ”
Those children kicked the members of the Tengfei Base to relieve their hatred, and after devouring the snacks, they actually targeted Lu Sheng and them.
Several children swaggered up to Lu Sheng, stretched out their hands directly, and made a finger hook motion.
"What for?"
Zhang Xiaojuan looked at several children in surprise.
"Give us everything or we'll beat you up!"
The half-sized boy led by him raised his fist skillfully, his expression was fierce and ruthless, which was not at all the look that a child in Zhang Xiaojuan's impression should have.
Obviously, a few children regarded Lu Sheng and them as aliens who had been deprived of their combat effectiveness by radiation, so they dared to rush up and threaten.
"How can you talk so impulsively at such a young age! How to teach you at home! ”
Han Rui crossed her hands on her hips and angrily counted a few children.
Unexpectedly, instead of being ashamed, those children spit on Han Rui.
Then he arrogantly rushed up and grabbed it!
"Bring it to you!"
Han Rui and Sun Tiantian were embarrassed to do something to the child, so they could only pull passively.
"Get out."
Just as a few children were about to snatch the backpacks of Lu Sheng and others, a loud slap shocked everyone.
Lu Sheng raised his hand expressionlessly and slapped two big pockets for the little boy who took the lead.
Since the spread of radiation, these children have been running amok in the base without sequelae, and it is the first time they have encountered such a fierce person.
In the end, it was a child, and a big mouth was smoked.
The little boy in the lead stared at Lu Sheng viciously, and suddenly pulled out a rusty knife from behind his waist, and pounced on it with his teeth and claws.
The next second.
was kicked by Lu Sheng's long legs and flew several meters.
"It's so poisonous at a young age, and it's a scourge to keep you."
She drew her knife and stepped forward, and was about to make up for the little beast with a knife, but was stopped by Sun Tiantian.
"Forget it, it's still a kid after all."
Sun Tiantian shook her head slightly, "You can't use a knife on an eight- or nine-year-old child." ”
Although she has been crawling and crawling in the last days for so long, the education she has received for more than ten years still makes her unable to break through the bottom line of morality.
Even if it is a half-grown child, it is easy to say, but the oldest in front of me is only eight or nine years old, and the youngest looks like he is only six or seven years old.
"Sweet, human nature is evil." Lu Sheng rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "Even if you let him go today, he won't be grateful to you." ”
"Anyway, let's leave soon, and we won't have anything to do with him, forget it."
"Don't apologize soon!"
Han Rui clasped her hands around her chest and glared at a few children fiercely.
"Sister, I'm sorry......"
The little boy was able to bend and stretch, and when he saw that he couldn't beat Lu Sheng, he immediately bowed his head obediently and admitted his mistake, and ran over and gently hugged Sun Tiantian.
"You see, it's still a child." Sun Tiantian smiled at Lu Sheng obediently.
Lu Sheng stared at a few children with cold eyes, "Hurry up." ”
After two end-times, she no longer has any compassion for the vulnerable.
The elderly, children, women, in the last days, these groups usually use their weak side to win trust. But once there is a chance to gain absolute superiority, these people are more ruthless than anyone else.
These little ones are the best example of this.
After a few children ran away, Lu Sheng and the others went deep into the Tengfei base along the main road.
"First go to the office area of the Tengfei base and find Lin Weicheng."
Lin Weicheng drove Lin Xiaoduo away abnormally, maybe it had something to do with the nuclear leakage.
In the base camp of the Tengfei base, the entire office building has been empty like an abandoned building.
Lu Sheng and the others found the fifth floor from the first floor, but they didn't even see a figure.
"What about people?" Zhang Xiaojuan knocked on the wall a few times in confusion, "Is there anyone?" ”
Only empty echoes echoed him.
"There is no one, how can we find the radiation source?" Sun Tiantian touched the table, and a thick layer of ash was stained on her fingertips.
"It feels like no one has used the table for at least a few days."
Xu Yi took out the detector, "Check the radiation index first and see if you can find the location of the radiation source." ”
As soon as the machine was turned on, the beep of Didi beeped non-stop.
Xu Yi took the detector around the hall on the first floor, and finally stopped beside Sun Tiantian.
"Damn, why did the number become bigger when it came to Tiantian?" Zhang Xiaojuan raised her head in astonishment.
"Huh?" Sun Tiantian subconsciously touched her forehead, "I don't feel uncomfortable?" ”
Lu Sheng's eyes were cold, and he immediately pulled Sun Tiantian to his side and carefully groped it from head to toe.
"Is this your thing?"
She pinched the metal keychain she took out of Sun Tiantian's pocket and asked solemnly.
Xiao Yu glanced at it and shook his head, "How is it possible, little things like Tiantian are all bells and whistles, how can they be so plain." ”
Lu Sheng pasted the metal keychain to the detector, and sure enough, the number on the display immediately soared!
"Where did you get this from?" Lu Sheng frowned and asked.
"I ...... I do not know...... I've never seen anything like this. Sun Tiantian was confused, and rummaged twice in his pocket, "We have been together all the way, and I have never been in contact with others." ”
"That's not right! Those kids just now! ”
Lu Sheng and the others glanced at each other, and they all remembered the unpleasant experience just now.
