My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 33: Crisis in Salt Well Town

Views:

The two big hunters Wang Qian and Wang Wan and the small hunter Wang Hao were all confused at this time.

"What are these people... talking about?"

"Why are you reaching out to us?"

"What do you want to say?"

Due to the language barrier, it was difficult for the hunters to understand the three people's demands.

Lin Tang leaned over and shouted word by word: "Mission! Reward!!"

Wang Qian and his three companions: “?”

The thin dog and the fox: “?”

Xigou held Lin Tang, who was about to repeat himself, and said, "No... What are you doing? Do you think they can't hear us because... our voices are not loud enough?"

Lin Tang was stunned.

"Fuck... I'm an idiot."

After the two sides communicated in sign language for a long time, the hunters probably understood that these warriors who dared to fight the predators in close combat wanted rewards.

As the eldest brother, Wang Qian nodded and said, "That makes sense! He has helped us so much, so it is only right that he asks for some compensation. After all, he is risking his life to help us. If he hadn't seen Xiao Hao being caught, why would he take the initiative to provoke a strong predator? Regardless of whether there is any benefit, it is impossible!"

“So, we should show some support.”

Speaking of this, Wang Qian felt a little emotional.

"In the wasteland... there are not many people with such a strong sense of justice."

Wang Wan: “Yes, yes.”

Wang Hao: "Dad, you always say that the most precious thing in the wasteland is hope. So... these uncles bring us hope, right?"

"Yes, Xiaohao, I hope you can be like your uncles in the future and help others as much as possible within your ability. They really... I am crying!"

The emotions were so deep that Wang Qian, a rough man in his 30s, shed a few tears.

Small dog, fox, forest pond: (; ¬д¬)

Xigou: "Why is this NPC crying... Is he so distressed to give us a little reward?"

Demon Fox: "How about forgetting it? After all, these NPCs helped us take down the raider camp. It's good that they didn't ask us for fire support. Anyway, we have already obtained the most valuable things. Without them, we may not be able to take down this camp."

Lin Tang stared at the man and cried, "Tsk tsk~ The modeling of this game... is so realistic. Look at the pores, sweat hairs, and blackheads on this NPC's face... It's amazing! Every frame is a waste of money. I just don't know if this game... is realistic?"

Thin dog, demon fox: “?”

They looked at their watches and there was no mission reminder. They estimated that this was not part of the game's plot, but just a random event in the wild.

One of the hunters felt around his body, found a piece of blue and white jade, and handed it to the little dog.

The three of them clenched their fists again to thank them, then said goodbye and left.

Wang Qian: "Let's go back to town. The mountains are not peaceful today. You can see the looters from all the camps coming out. They seem to be looking for someone..."

Wang Wan: "What bad luck! I got up very early today, but I didn't catch the blood deer. I wasn't paying attention and Xiao Hao was captured by the predators. Fortunately... he was only slightly injured."

Xiao Hao asked with some concern: "Dad and Uncle, didn't you say that the jade is a little strange? Will it bring them trouble?"

"This jade... does have a strange origin, but your father and I always felt that there was some secret hidden in it, so we never sold it to the caravan. Maybe we are not destined to be together. The three of them... look very powerful. Maybe they can find out the secret of the jade. Besides, we don't have anything valuable on us except the jade. We can't give them our hunting rifle. What kind of hunter is he without a hunting rifle? I will pass my rifle on to you in the future..."

Xiao Hao didn't quite understand, but he still followed the two hunters and hurried back to Yanjing Town.

Xigou and the other two held the jade and all showed expressions of surprise.

"There's a reward! What a pleasant surprise!"

Originally they had no intention of getting any rewards, but unexpectedly they got something in the end. Although its use was unknown,... it looked like a high-end item. In this resource-poor wasteland, a piece of smooth and delicate jade seemed out of place.

"Let me see... Based on my experience as an antique collector, if this jade were put in real life, it would probably be worthy of being auctioned... It would be worth tens of thousands, right?"

Lin Tang played with it seriously and came to a conclusion.

The fox took it from him and put it in his pocket: "Unfortunately, this is a game. We'll examine it when we get back to the base. Now we have to start working... It's really hard to drag the bodies of 6 predators."

The predators are tall and muscular, each weighing over 250 pounds.

It was already difficult for them to drag one body each, and now they had to bring back six bodies, which would be difficult to accomplish.

"It would be nice to have a little car with wheels..."

As soon as Xigou said this, Yaohu immediately realized: "We have it in the base! Go ask the lord to borrow it!"

It took them about 40 minutes to walk from the base to here. If they jogged all the way, they would probably be able to get back in 30 minutes at most.

"Lin Tang, your initial speed is a little faster than ours. You take this backpack and..." The fox demon took out the jade stone and the black box containing radioactive material that he had just put into his arms.

"These two things... are our biggest gains from this trip, so we must keep them well."

"You send these things back to the base, then push the cart over here, and we'll transport these six raider corpses at once."

The thin dog also nodded and said, "Well, while you're going back and forth for more than an hour, the demon fox and I will look for prey here."

Lin Tang: “Okay!”

Lin Tang carried his spear on his back and went into battle lightly, carrying only the important items.

The thin dog and the fox dragged the bodies of the predators together, put them down in a hidden place, covered them with leaves, and went to hunt mutant animals.

...

Salt Well Town.

30 greenskin raiders and 1 elite raider were confronting the townspeople 50 meters away.

The 2.5-meter-tall elite predator in the lead could speak and had already made its purpose clear. After some negotiations with the town’s guard captain Lin Lei, he understood their intentions.

He held a shotgun in his hand and replied calmly, "There is no holy relic you are looking for here, so leave. Yanjing Town is not a place you can come to whenever you want. If you don't retreat, we will shoot!"

There are a total of 50 guards in Yanjing Town, of which only 21 have guns, 16 of which are hunting rifles, and 5 are small-caliber pistols. The bullets are sufficient, but the firepower is not enough to directly cause large-scale casualties to the predators, which are mutant creatures with thick skin and strong vitality. There is basically no killing power beyond 50 meters.

There are 8 hunters in Yanjing Town, with a total of 9 hunting rifles. Among them, the Wang brothers went out with 2 hunting rifles before dawn and were not in the town at this time.

So their defense force, which consists of 28 guns in total, combined with the defense of the stone walls and gates, can be a great deterrent to looters.

But these well-prepared looters were all holding meteor stone hammers, weapons made of large stones tied to tough branches. They could be swung at medium distance or thrown with great force for long-range attacks. Anyone who was hit by these hundreds of pounds of stones would lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.

They only need to hold the stones to protect their heads, charge forward suddenly, and smash the stones when they get close, which will pose a considerable threat to Yanjing Town.

Therefore, if the two sides go to war... even if Yanjing Town can win, it will have to pay a certain price.

Of course, if they had a 28 rifle, they could have sieved the looters before they got close.

The Predator Elite did not answer, but whistled.

Take a break~

Another 20 raiders and 1 elite came out of the mountain. The raiders were carrying thick tree trunks, which looked like battering rams.

Captain Lin Lei broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this.

Their wooden doors and stone walls could defend against some small-scale battles, but they would not be able to withstand long-term attacks from these organized looters using tree trunks.

The number of raiders is now almost equal to that of their defenders.

But the fighting power of the plunderer... one can easily defeat 3 humans.

Once the gate is broken, the gun will be completely useless...

"All personnel in Yanjing Town, be on alert!"

Lin Lei blew the defensive horn, and every household ran out.

The new predator elite was the camp leader who had lost the radiation source. He shouted, "Hand over the holy object!"

Linley said to someone with a grim expression, “Go and invite the mayor…”

50 raiders divided into two groups and slowly approached Yanjing Town.

There are two elite raiders at the front. They will be the biggest threat to Yanjing Town. Once they enter the town, it will be a one-sided massacre.

In the woods behind.

Wang Qian and Wang Wan showed their heads.

"Oh no... Why did the predators come to our place? Are they crazy? Do they want to fight us to the death?"

"What should we do? We don't have enough energy and ammunition now. If we rush out, we will probably be chopped off first..."

Xiao Hao was thankful and said, "Luckily we came out early, otherwise we would have been stuck in the town... By the way, Brother Feng and Brother Jie went to scavenge and were not in the town either. We are so lucky."

Wang Qian remembered Cheng Shaofeng who left that day pushing a cart of supplies.

"Xiaofeng... seems to have gone to live somewhere else. He took all the supplies and money with him. Wu Jie also left on the same day. I don't know if he left with Xiaofeng."

"I hope they are okay and don't come back at this time."
