The gray cement road is covered with cracks, and unknown plants grow tenaciously in the cracks of the cement road, bathing in the unhealthy sunshine.
Basically no windows in the surrounding buildings were intact, and the glass had long been shattered by the nuclear explosion. The streets were full of abandoned cars. From the cracked but not broken car windows, it could be seen that the glass used in the car windows seemed to be of slightly better quality than the window glass.
Streamlined "iron boxes" can still be seen on the streets. According to Gu Sunjiao, it was a slow-descent device used by NATO's orbital airborne troops. However, when the city's history of invasion was mentioned, Sun Jiao's face showed no unnecessary emotion. This may be related to the fact that she was born in a shelter and has no concept of the so-called country.
However, when she mentioned the "predecessor" war, her face still showed undisguised boredom.
In her opinion, both sides of the war were stupid.
"Is it going to rain?" Jiang Chen looked up at the sky. Thick dark clouds were densely covered in lumps. It seems that the sunlight looks unnatural just after passing through these dark clouds. The sunlight has an oppressive yellow-green color. I really don't know how these plants grow.
"That's not a dark cloud, it's radioactive dust." Sun Jiao couldn't help but feel a little funny. This Jiang Chen looked just like when she first came out of the 071 shelter.
"In other words, are we now exposed to radiation without protection?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. The only thing he knew about radiation was the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. He still remembered that there was a time when supermarkets were sold out of salt.
Although it is an act of ignorance, one can imagine how terrifying radiation is to people living in a harmonious society.
However, Sun Jiao seemed to be accustomed to it, and did not pay attention to the Sword of Damocles hanging above her head.
"Don't worry, as long as the iodine in your E is not exhausted, the radiation value will not exceed the threshold, and you don't need to worry about growing a third hand. Of course, when passing through areas with high radiation values, such as nuclear power plants or former government agencies, It would be safer to wear radiation-proof clothing." Sun Jiao rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen teasingly and continued to lead Jiang Chen ahead.
Although she experienced a night of passion, Sun Jiao did not show any discomfort at all, but Jiang Chen's calves were a little soft...
This is not to say that Jiang Chen is not good, but no matter how strong his physical strength is, as a pampered modern person, he cannot be physically stronger than this female warrior who walks in the wasteland all year round.
That terrifying muscle strength data...
Jiang Chen couldn't imagine that this woman who didn't seem to have any muscle lines would be stronger than him, a man whose body seemed to have some muscles.
The reason why the two of them went out together was all Sun Jiao's idea.
...
"Since you said you want to help me, you must learn some knowledge about combat. Come with me tomorrow. At least you must learn to shoot and protect yourself."
"Well, actually, I think I can become a support staff or something..."
"Don't be verbose... Tomorrow we will go to the survivor camp in Block 6. You haven't even been vaccinated against infection. It's really too dangerous. You have to go there by yourself."
So, Jiang Chen had no choice but to take the rifle thrown by Sun Jiao and follow her on the road.
The two chatted from time to time along the way, but for some reason, Sun Jiao didn't ask about Jiang Chen's secrets again. Since she didn't ask, Jiang Chen naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it. However, Jiang Chen could tell that the reason Sun Jiao didn't ask was not because she was no longer curious, but out of an indescribable trust.
One day, you will tell me...
The unspoken words can be detected.
For the same reason, Jiang Chen did not inquire about what "must be done" in Sun Jiao's words.
...
"You will pass through an area infested by zombies ahead. The best place to hone your marksmanship is the battlefield. You should familiarize yourself with the weapons first, but don't fire casually." Sun Jiao said and took out a streamlined rifle from her back.
Catching Jiang Chen's curious gaze, Sun Jiao smiled and explained.
"SK10 Sirius, a short- to medium-range laser rifle. The laser rifle is the best choice for dealing with creatures such as zombies. It has low noise and high accuracy. But in order to familiarize you with shooting, it is better for you to start with kinetic energy weapons."
With that said, Sun Jiao pointed to the rifle in Jiang Chen's hand and continued.
"K200 assault rifle, caliber 7.62mm. Although this kinetic energy weapon is not as accurate as laser weapons, its power and reliability are not comparable to laser weapons. Even if you hit someone with the butt of the gun, you don't need to repair it. .The safety is on the right side above the handle, be sure to turn it off when not firing."
The streamlined short and wide gun body felt futuristic. Jiang Chen saw a small mark on the grip.
AC (Pan-Asian Cooperation).
The two of them walked in tandem on the deserted streets. The rats that were half a man tall occasionally scurried by the roadside, which would occasionally frighten him, but it didn't take long for him to get used to them. Such mutated creatures were everywhere. Jiang Chen even saw a cockroach the size of a wolfdog, waving its one-meter-long tentacles at the two of them, and then scurried towards the shadows of the street. Those dense cilia are really disgusting.
"Not all creatures are aggressive. For example, rats, although they are huge, still have a physiological fear of humans. Although cockroaches look scary, they will not actively attack living creatures due to their feeding habits..." Li Jiejie The mouth was getting closer and closer, and Sun Jiao gradually raised the muzzle and started to be alert, "Zombies will stop moving during the day, and the mutated bacteria attached to their back brains need a stable environment for photosynthesis. It's surprising, isn't it? This is also the reason why these zombies have been starving to death for so many years. I heard that some zombies in the city have even evolved the function of asexual reproduction, haha."
Sun Jiaopi chuckled without a smile, still maintaining a vigilant posture, and continued to speak.
"What we need to pay attention to are carnivorous creatures. They usually feed on zombies or other low-level mutated creatures, but if they encounter humans, they will never be picky... And there are humans. If someone aims at your head , don’t hesitate, fire directly.”
Sun Jiao's unhesitating tone made Jiang Chen feel a chill.
While being surprised by the cruelty of this wasteland, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh that this city had already formed a complex and alternative ecosystem. Nature is indeed a magical thing. No matter what you give it, it can stabilize it in a common-sense way - survival of the fittest.
Under the high-rise buildings, there is no atmosphere of civilization anymore, only barbarism remains. Although he held the crystallization of civilization technology in his hands, Jiang Chen didn't feel the slightest sense of security at this moment.
"Shh." Sun Jiao suddenly stopped and raised her right fist to signal Jiang Chen to stop.
"Don't point the gun at me, idiot, watch my rear." Sun Jiao cursed to Jiang Chen in a low voice.
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and took a deep breath, then turned on the safety and pointed the gun at the quiet street behind him.
"It's not normal. All the mutated creatures nearby have disappeared, so I'm afraid they have noticed that natural enemies are approaching..." Sun Jiao's voice also had a hint of nervousness, which made Jiang Chen's heart, which had finally calmed down, start to get nervous. stand up.
"Natural enemy?"
"Carnivore or something... I hope it's not a Deathclaw."
Although he didn't know what the death claw Sun Jiao was talking about, Jiang Chen also read some bad feelings from her tone.
At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the distance in the street. Accompanied by thick and high roars, bursts of violent firefights also followed.
"There's a battle ahead, follow me." After hearing the commotion in the distance, Sun Jiao did not retreat. Instead, she started moving toward the battlefield with her rifle in hand.
"I said, are you going in the wrong direction?"
However, Sun Jiao did not answer Jiang Chen's question. Jiang Chen sighed and had to run to keep up.
"Hooh oh oh..." The ugly and ferocious face was twisted, saliva rained from his mouth, and he waved the broken street lamp in his hand. The fat sebum was so full that it was almost overflowing.
...
"Keep the fire and throw the explosives over! Quick!"
"Ammunition! I need ammo!"
"Ah! My hand..." The roaring car door sliced off an unlucky guy's arm and embedded it into the wall behind him.
The monster vented its power and roared as it moved towards the human defense line.
Soldiers with mixed equipment were violently unleashing firepower on the monster, trying to suppress the rampaging mass of fat. Several soldiers lowered their heads and quickly ran through the fire net of their teammates, dodging the debris thrown by the monster, and desperately threw the explosives in their hands at the fat mass.
"...It's actually a meat mountain!" Turning the corner, Sun Jiao's face was filled with shock, "How could this thing appear in..."
The expression on Jiang Chen's face was even more exciting. His mouth was wide open and he was completely stunned.
What is this? The butcher in Woshan? But this is too big!
Roshan advanced under the hail of bullets, and the situation of those soldiers looked quite bad.
Although the overwhelming bullets had a certain impact on Roshan, it was far from enough to stop him. The thick fat acted like gel, trapping the bullets that penetrated his skin. This made the group of people who mainly used kinetic energy weapons almost helpless. Although the leader of the group decisively ordered some people to approach and throw explosives at the meat mountain, the function of the thick fat is obviously not only bulletproof...
However, although the attacks were ineffective, they were not meaningless. At least the mountain of meat was restrained by the ferocious rain of firepower and could not advance further towards the human position.
At this moment, a screaming sound suddenly broke through the sky above the human defense line, and the artillery shells dragged a yellow tracer and hit the meat mountain fiercely.
However, the cannonball failed to hit Roshan, and almost slid past Roshan's plump face and hit the building behind him.
boom!
With the violent explosion, the reinforced concrete wall was blown to pieces, leaving a terrifying cavity.
As if he was aware of the danger, all the fat on Roshan's body shook violently, and the power erupted from his body became even more violent. His open mouth seemed ready to let out another angry roar.
However, the roar did not have time to come out.
Another artillery shell pierced the battlefield. Under the trajectory correction after the first tracer round, this artillery shell slammed into the bloody mouth.
There was no suspense at all. Scarlet blood, dark green brains, and yellow-white fat spread almost half the street.
Roshan, who had lost his head, fell to the ground amidst the cheers of victory, making a thick muffled sound.
After the battle, the soldiers walked out of the bunker one after another, cheered, hugged their comrades, and helped the wounded. Everything seemed very organized.
"The Type 99 anti-tank gun is probably the only one that can kill Roshan. Roshan has very thick fat and is the nemesis of almost all individual weapons. At the same time, its bad habit of throwing things around is simply a nightmare." Sun Jiao said as if she was relieved.
"...What are they doing?" Jiang Chen endured the churning of gastric juices, glanced at the people working on Roshan's corpse, and asked.
"Collect sub-crystals. In addition, the fat of Roshan can be used as fertilizer, or a source of organic matter and phospholipids in nutrient mixtures. By the way, I remember that its blood cells can also be used as raw materials for many vaccines."
Nutritional mixture? Why does it sound like food
Jiang Chen shuddered and secretly swore to himself that he would never touch that thing called a nutritional mixture in his life. Isn't his mother's meat equivalent to eating meat from Roshan
As if she guessed that Jiang Chen was disgusted, Sun Jiao grinned, and then led Jiang Chen towards the soldiers.
Sensing the approach of the two men, a soldier came over, looked at the two men up and down with his rifle, and then spoke in a professional manner.
"Welcome to Block Six, buddy, and as per usual, I need to check your genetic code."
Gene code, a code that compiles gene sequences according to a specific algorithm, is used as E's user name. Due to the widespread use of E and the uniqueness of genetic codes, it is often used as something similar to an ID number. After all, there is no Civil Affairs Bureau in the last days. If you want to prove that you are you, you can only use DNA to speak.
Many survivor camps with order will check the genetic code before allowing entry. Its purpose is mainly to find people who have violated the law in the camp.
After showing the E on their arms, the militiamen politely let the two people go.
"I always thought that this wasteland was full of savages... I didn't expect to see civilization?" The soldiers with weapons did not make any unnecessary harassment to the two of them, and Jiang Chen's anxious heart gradually subsided. The ground was let down.
However, Sun Jiao just smiled playfully at Jiang Chen's speech.
"Oh? I have the opposite opinion than you. I think the wasteland is full of so-called 'civilization', but it's just in a special form."
The steel gate slowly opened, and the camp's security was lifted as Roshan fell. Behind the sandbag at the door, Jiang Chen saw the anti-tank gun that destroyed Roshan. The ferocious barrel exuded a strong cold air, and lying on the ground were metal bullet casings as thick as thighs.
After making way for the trucks entering the camp, Jiang Chen followed Sun Jiao into the interior of the camp.
This order that exists in the chaos, the Sixth District, is like a harbor that accepts travelers in the wasteland. However, it would be naive to imagine it as the embodiment of justice.
