Zhang Chao pulled the trigger of the recurved folding crossbow, "Duo!" There was a soft sound, and a badger-like mutated beast in front was pierced through the head by a steel arrow, and fell to the ground without saying a word. Several people passed over the body and continued to move forward. It was lying on the side of the road.
"First-level mutated creatures are worthless. One pound of meat can only be sold for two kilograms of food stamps. If you can't find the second-level mutated beasts, you will sometimes use more bullets for a round trip, and the stamps will not be worth the money." Qian Dakui knew that Luo Yuan was here for the first time, so in order to make up for the previous rift, he explained in a low voice.
"Level 2 mutant beasts are worth a lot of money. Every pound of meat costs up to 30 pounds of food stamps. This is still the recycling price. It is even higher on the black market. People are rushing to buy 100 pounds of food stamps. However, in addition to these meat-eating products, each person can Except for the three kilograms you bring with you, the rest will be forcibly recycled by the base.”
"First-level mutated creature?" Luo Yuan asked doubtfully.
"These are the statements from the base. For example, the mutant rats killed in East Lake before were first-level mutant creatures, and the rat king was second-level mutants. The base has special detection methods!" Qian Dakui explained.
Comparing the divisions on the system, it seems that white is the first level, and the second level should be light blue. Luo Yuan nodded.
Most of the light blue-level creatures are huge. One such creature, no matter how small it is, can weigh more than a hundred kilograms of meat, and a large one can weigh hundreds of kilograms, or even tons. As long as you are lucky enough to hunt down a second-level mutant creature, the rental of weapons The cost and ammunition loss are not worth mentioning, and you can still make a profit. As expected, the risks and benefits are proportional, so the price of blue-level creatures is probably higher.
"Wait, everyone, don't move!" Zhang Chao, who was walking at the end, shouted hurriedly.
Luo Yuan immediately stopped and took a cautious look around. He didn't find any movement, and he was a little confused.
At this time, Zhang Chao drew out his military thorn, walked over quickly, and picked up a green leaf in front of Luo Yuan. As soon as the green leaf fell to the ground, it immediately started to move as if it were alive. It twisted and crawled along the ground towards the darkness. go.
Only then did Luo Yuan see clearly that this was not a leaf, but a green soft insect. The color and shape of its skin were very similar to those of the surrounding leaves. It was difficult to tell them apart unless you looked carefully.
"The grass is a mutated leech!" Yang Dawei took a closer look, screamed, and rushed over with a single step. He pulled out his dog-leg knife and chopped the green soft insect into two pieces. A stream of dark red blood flowed. come out.
After Yang Dawei chopped the mutant leech to death, he did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he said to Qian Dakui nervously: "Please help me see if there is anything behind me?"
Qian Dakui also looked solemn and lifted up Zhang Dawei's clothes: "No, everyone should check it again!"
As he said that, he also started checking his trouser legs.
Although Luo Yuan was a little confused, he felt that something was not good when he saw the behavior of these people. He quickly checked his surroundings with his senses and found no such thing.
Several people checked each other.
"No!" Zhang Chao tightened his trouser legs again and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Me neither!" Qian Dakui said, then looked at Luo Yuan: "Boss Luo, why don't you check it too?"
Luo Yuan shook his head and said: "No need, I can sense that there is nothing on me."
When Qian Dakui thought that he could easily discover the existence of the invisible person before, he didn't ask any more questions, but he felt more and more unfathomable in his heart.
"Fortunately, it was discovered early?" Yang Dawei looked happy: "I didn't expect that this kind of mutant leech would appear here. If it gets into the body, it would be over."
Luo Yuan's heart tightened and he quickly asked: "You said it can get into the body?"
Yang Dawei nodded, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes: "As long as it sticks to it for a few minutes, it will burrow into your body along the wound. The most terrifying thing is that this process is not painful or itchy and cannot be noticed at all. Wait for the mutant ant After the locust has sucked enough blood, it will ovulate in large quantities.
Within half a day, you will be as thin as a mummy and die of lack of blood. At that time, mutant leech will emerge from various parts of the body in large numbers... The death will be extremely miserable. At the end of the sentence, his voice was a little low: "That's how one of our friends died... That area was later abandoned by us, and we didn't expect that it would also appear here." "
Luo Yuan's scalp felt numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Before the incident, the leech, which only sucked some blood and made people feel sick, had actually evolved to such a terrifying level.
"Should we go there?" Zhang Chao asked.
Yang Dawei's face was a little nervous.
Qian Dakui glanced at Luo Yuan and saw that Luo Yuan had no objection. He thought for a while and said seriously: "Since it's already here, I'm afraid it's also in other places. It should be fine if you be careful. Let's go!"
Although it was Luo Yuan who killed the invisible man, he knew that those people from Hedong City would definitely blame them. Once they discover that the invisible man is dead, they may not stop fighting. Today is undoubtedly the best opportunity to catch them all.
Zhang Chao nodded, silently picked up the sniper rifle and followed.
Yang Dawei hesitated for a moment, sighed, and followed.
Several people looked wary and carefully checked every branch that came across. In just a few hundred meters, they found several mutant locusts. Among them, a shriveled animal carcass was found not far from the roadside, which shocked everyone. Even more frightened.
"Shh!" Qian Dakui pushed aside the branches and raised his index finger to his mouth to make a quiet gesture.
Several people were sitting in an open space with heavy faces. One of them was lying weakly on the ground, with no color on his face.
Luo Yuan looked through the gaps in the branches and saw that these four people were the remaining people from Hedong City. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the person lying on the ground seemed to be much thinner, and his original round face was completely slimmed down. Go down.
"That man was parasitized by mutated locusts and can't survive. Now there are three left." Yang Dawei whispered happily, taking out a grenade from his backpack and loading it into the launcher.
"Wait a minute, there are too many branches in front, I'm afraid it will block the grenade, come closer!" Qian Dakui stopped him.
Yang Dawei nodded, picked up the rifle, and slowly moved forward with his waist bent.
The group of people walked another dozen meters and stopped again.
At this time, one of the people on the opposite side seemed to have noticed something, and looked over here with vigilance. The next moment, his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Run! It's those Donghu guys..."
"boom!"
Before he was halfway through speaking, Zhang Chao's sniper gun fired, and his body was instantly shot into two pieces.
Immediately, another grenade exploded violently not far ahead.
"Fuck, missed again." Yang Dawei yelled in annoyance. Without a lot of practice and professional training, it would be difficult for ordinary people to master such a heavy weapon carried by individuals.
Qian Dakui also fired an old-fashioned light machine gun.
After a brief panic, the remaining two people on the opposite side quickly found a hidden position and began to fight back sporadicly.
The bullets kept flying by, and the shooting was very fierce for a while.
Both sides are amateur players, and the bullets they hit are not accurate at all. Luo Yuan feels that their marksmanship is not much better than his. Except for the one who was killed by Zhang Chao with a sniper rifle at the beginning, you on both sides We fought back and forth for more than ten minutes, but no one was injured or killed.
"You guys dare to sneak attack, you guys from Donghu City, I will kill you today." The other side was beating and scolding.
"Damn it, you're just talking nonsense when you're about to die," Yang Dawei retorted.
The next moment, a cannonball landed not far ahead and exploded into a fireball several meters away.
"Those people from Hedong City rented mortars, Dawei, don't save the grenades, come back and fight back." Seeing that the other party was also heavy in firepower, Qian Dakui almost jumped up and shouted loudly.
Luo Yuan lay on the ground, feeling increasingly agitated and his mind buzzing.
The human eye has a buffer time for visual persistence, mainly for self-protection during biological evolution and to avoid overuse of the brain. The limit of image transmission speed that can generally be distinguished is 24 frames/second. In other words, if you complete an action within seconds, the naked eye will not notice it. The speed of the bullet is 700 to 800 meters per second. In every 1/24 second, it can fly 30 to 40 meters. It is impossible to see it with the naked eye. Only a higher-speed camera with higher frame rate can distinguish the trajectory of the bullet.
But this is not a problem at all for perception. Although it is similar to vision, it is not a physical organ, and there is no delay in nerve reflex arcs. It is itself an extension of consciousness. As long as it is perceived, it is already "seen" in consciousness, and everything runs simultaneously.
No matter how fast the bullet is, it will leave a high-speed blur in the consciousness. What's worse is that the perception itself is extremely sensitive to moving things.
He found that every time a bullet flew past the area he was sensing, his consciousness would be unconsciously drawn to that fuzzy point.
Once or twice, that's okay. But it has been almost ten minutes since the fight. There are not hundreds of bullets flying through this area, but dozens of them. The attention is constantly being forced to move around by the perception, and sometimes when the number is too large, the attention It would also be forcibly divided into several parts, which almost drove him crazy.
His nostrils were itchy at this time. He touched it and felt something was wrong. When he lowered his head and looked at it, he couldn't help being shocked. His hands were covered with blood.
Just as he was thinking about whether to step back a little, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and his scalp suddenly exploded. Immediately, his attention became more concentrated than ever before, and a small fuzzy dot in his perception was shooting towards his head at high speed. .
In an instant, before he could even have a thought, he subconsciously tilted his head to the side. Almost at the same time, a stream of hot air passed by his ear, exuding a faint smell of gunpowder smoke!
Luo Yuan's face was pale and he was breathing heavily, feeling his heart beating violently.
But soon, he showed an expression of disbelief. Did he seem to have dodged a bullet just now
