Once the Mire Crab Queen is killed, the battle is basically over.
Jiese led a group of people to finish the work, and there were people nearby who were gesticulating on the ground with tools. Among the crowd was a man with glasses, who was recording something with a pen. From time to time, he would turn his head to discuss something with Jiese.
Casualties in the battle were smaller than anyone expected.
You must know that mire crabs are monsters at the top of the food chain in the wasteland world. If a ghoul runs into their territory, they will be eaten. However, I did not expect that no one was killed today, that is, there were so many people who were not killed. Be careful to get a little injured. The biggest contribution must be made by Su Ziyu. If he hadn't sniped and killed the Mire Crab Queen, the big guy would have basically been a massacre as soon as he rushed in. Ordinary people would have been crushed into pieces by its huge size.
Others began to clean up the battlefield, and some were chopping the mire crabs' pincers with axes.
They basically don't want the bounty from this hunting mission, but they also have their own share of the profits, which is the meat of these mire crabs. If taken out entirely, it would be worth thousands of bottle caps.
"Thank you very much this time." Jiese came over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder.
He waved to the person next to him, then handed over a simple map and said, "I know you want to get a better weapon. Qin Yu has already told me."
"I got this thing through some connections."
Jie Se pointed to a gathering place on the map and said solemnly: "Here. If you want to go to Polaris, you must go north."
"This is a rather special gathering place called the Ghoul Club."
"You go find a man nicknamed 'Doctor Corpse'. He has some weapons in his hands that you will definitely like."
Speaking of this, Jiese lowered his voice and said: "It is said that he has a Gauss sniper rifle in his hand."
“But this guy’s asking a high price.”
Dr. Ghoul
Su Ziyu's expression was a little surprised, but after hearing the Gauss sniper rifle, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The Gauss sniper rifle is said to be a weapon that uses electromagnetic energy, a kind of magnetic storm technology developed during the Cold War. Many powerful technologies were developed in the old world of this plane. Many researches from the Cold War period are very, very good now. The advanced, nuclear technology tree was very high at that time. This sniper rifle fires a unique electromagnetic bomb. It takes a few seconds to charge once it is fired, but its power is quite amazing and its accuracy far exceeds that of other firearms. It can completely ignore external factors such as wind speed, humidity, etc.
However, it also has its shortcomings, that is, it can only be fired once, and it takes about 2 seconds to recharge after firing.
"Thank you." Su Ziyu reached out and took it.
"Why are you so polite?" Jiese laughed and whispered: "Be careful when you get there, that place is a bit weird, and some people like to lock up corpses for research."
"There is a man from Chinatown over there, his nickname is Shan Pao. You can find him in the pub."
"Um."
"If he's not dead by now."
"Give him some money, he can help you a lot."
Su Ziyu nodded to express his understanding, then reached out and picked up his daughter, turned around and walked outside with Maddie. These people had already begun to slaughter and dissect the mud crabs. The scene looked a bit bloody, with large streams of dark blue blood flowing out. It would be better for the two little girls not to stay here and watch.
"wait!"
"Let's take some crab meat back and bake it!" Mattie looked greedy.
She used to make a living alone in the elk gathering place, and the food she usually ate was definitely not good. Now when she saw the crab meat of the mud crab, she suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Take it." Jiese walked over holding a crab claw that was more than one meter long and fifty centimeters in diameter.
The heavy weight made Maddie almost lose her grip, but Su Ziyu reached out to support it, and then directly lifted it over. The mire crab queen has a higher degree of radiation contamination. Its meat may need to be processed before it can be eaten. There were two or three people chopping with knives over there. It took several minutes to chop off only a small segment. Some people suddenly couldn't bear it. The resident complained: "Who brought the cutting machine?"
"Who can cut this damn thing?"
"Do you have an axe?"
"Find me a key guy? Damn it! If I had known, I would have brought my chainsaw!"
The whole battle took less than ten minutes, but they might not be able to finish collecting the bodies of these mud crabs until tomorrow. Fortunately, Jiese brought frozen tools.
There are cooking supplies over there in the convoy.
Su Ziyu had never done anything before, but Jiese came back quickly. He took a big hammer and smashed the crab claws a little bit, and then started to make a fire to barbecue. He smiled and said: "I used to eat I had a chef make marsh crab cakes and they tasted really good. ”
"But the spicy crab I grilled is also delicious."
A hint of fragrance gradually spreads.
The people working there felt hungry from the smell, and soon each of them grabbed some crab claws and came back to cook. Suddenly, the entire convoy was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
"I guess we will be busy here until tomorrow." Jiese said while grilling crab claws: "If you are in a hurry, you can just drive away in that car."
"That's my car."
"There are three large barrels of gasoline in the trunk, which should be enough for you to use Polaris."
"There's also food."
"But you may want to add a few more on the way."
This great monk usually looks carefree, but he is actually very careful. Just by looking at the preparation of Su Ziyu, you can tell that he has already considered the situation at hand.
"Here." Jie Se pried open the crab claws and handed two pieces of roasted crab meat to Su Ying and Mattie next to them. He smiled and said, "Be careful of the burn."
"I'll ask Zhao Ang to go back with you later."
"After you go to the Elk Camp and collect the bounty, you can set off."
Very fragrant and tender.
The taste is more delicious than expected. Su Ziyu has never felt so good eating crabs in his life. Just the upper part of a crab claw is enough for one or two people to eat straight away. Both little girls were a little full after eating, and Maddie kept touching her belly after eating so much that it felt a little inconvenient to walk.
"Don't eat any more."
"We'll take some back later." Su Ziyu's eyes showed a trace of pity.
It is indeed not easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to survive alone in the wasteland era. Judging from the way she eats, she probably hasn't had a big meal in a long time.
"Take it back? Then I'll pick out some big ones." Mattie stood up happily.
She just left.
The little girl came close to Su Ziyu's ear and begged softly: "Dad, can we take Mattie with us to Polaris?"
"She's all alone here too."
Um.
Su Ziyu thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Is she willing to leave? Our trip to Polaris this time is no safer than staying at the Elk Camp."
"Yes." The little girl nodded firmly and said, "I'll tell her on the way."
That’s okay.
If Maddie is willing to go together, Su Ziyu feels that she can take her with her. Anyway, that's all she can do if she stays alone in the Elk Camp. After Su Ziyu leaves, it will probably not be easy for her to make a living.
Time passed little by little.
After dinner, Su Ziyu shook hands with Jie Se and said goodbye, then drove a car with the little girl and Mattie back to the Elk Camp. Zhao Ang drove another car with someone and waited until they returned. It was already midnight.
The lights were still on at Max's tavern.
Su Ziyu's process of collecting the bounty went smoothly. After noticing that the two little girls were a little sleepy, he took them to the Chinese District to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Su Ziyu saw the two little girls who had packed their things. He asked someone to buy some food, and then drove directly to the place called the Ghoul Club. When he set off, Zhao Ang also drove out with a few people. Their destination was the gathering place in Chinatown. If the water plant is to be opened this time, it will definitely be necessary for people there to provide some material assistance.
The performance of the off-road vehicle modified by Jingse was good, and Su Ziyu drove it quite smoothly. The two little girls behind were whispering in whispers. After talking for a while, they became a little sleepy, and the two of them fell asleep together.
All around was an extremely desolate scene.
Occasionally, you will pass some ruins on the road, all of which are ruins of towns from the old era. The resources that can be harvested have basically been taken away, and now only empty shells are left.
It will take about more than a day to drive to the Ghoul Club from here. If there are no problems on the road, it will take two or three days to get to Polaris.
at the same time.
In a bay area surrounded by fog, an explosion suddenly came from an isolated island.
Rumble.
After the dull explosion, five or six warriors wearing exoskeleton armor retreated from the fog, firing while retreating. Something was vaguely visible in the burst of fire, and they were some huge monsters with strange tentacles.
"Damn it!"
"My exoskeleton armor is almost running out of energy." One of the soldiers took off his helmet and turned around and said, "Boss! Do you still have a nuclear fusion battery?"
At this time, a calm male voice came and said: "Let's go back to the island first."
"Those monsters are still around."
The group quickly retreated to the island.
There is a huge ruin inside the island, which seems to be a long-abandoned military base. There are some freshly dug graves next to it. When the group passed by, their expressions were slightly sad.
"Leon."
"Has the distress signal really been sent?" came a slightly hoarse female voice, and then she took off her helmet, revealing a mature and beautiful face. Her expression seemed to be very tired, and she said slowly: "The Brotherhood's rescue Why haven't you come yet?"
"Our supplies won't last much longer."
The man walking at the front also took off his helmet. He turned his head and said solemnly: "Pasha. Trust me."
"The distress signal must have been sent."
"The supplies can last for another week. There is an abandoned aircraft carrier nearby. I will take people there to take a look in the next two days. Maybe we can find some resources."
A dilapidated building appeared in front of me.
When the group of people returned here, they immediately heard the painful screams coming from inside. Leon's expression changed almost instantly. He rushed in and held down a man who looked like a crazy man, and shouted: "Bernie, calm down!"
"Ignore those weird noises!"
"look at me."
"focus!"
In this dilapidated house, a burly man looked in pain. He was pinching his neck, his whole face was red, and his mind seemed to be in chaos.
"He's been contaminated by that shit."
Pasha watched all this silently, then pulled out the pistol from her waist and said slowly: "Let's give him a good time."
Leon knocked off her pistol with a wave of his hand, his eyes slightly red, glaring at Pasha next to him, then turned around and knocked the painful man unconscious.
"We're running low on supplies."
"He is hopeless." Another deep male voice came. A burly man walked to the corner and fiddled with his firearm. He said slowly: "His final result will definitely be the same as others."
"We can only survive if we leave this hellish place."
A brief moment of dead silence.
The man who had just been knocked unconscious by Leon suddenly opened his eyes again. His entire pupils were glowing with blood, his expression was a bit twisted and ferocious, and there were a large number of cyan blood vessels on his face, just like a living corpse he had seen before. Suddenly he reached out and grabbed Leon's head.
boom.
A gunshot rang out.
Leon slowly put down his pistol, remained silent, and turned around and entered one of the rooms.
Boom boom boom.
There was a venting sound of smashing in the room.
Pasha watched all this quietly, then pushed the door and entered another room. There were seven or eight exoskeleton power armors in this room, but the nuclear fusion battery parts had been removed. In the corner of the room There were some mottled blood stains inside, and no one had cleaned them for a long time.
"I must survive."
"Sakura is still waiting for me to go back!... I have to get out alive!..." Pasha's expression seemed to be in pain, and she murmured while covering her head.
A trace of tiny green blood vessels appeared under her neck. Pasha turned around and took out an injection, inserted it directly into her neck and injected it. After about five or six minutes, her expression gradually calmed down.
The heavy exoskeleton power armor was removed, Pasha sat down on the bed a little tiredly, reached out and took out a heart-shaped pendant.
Inside is a photo of Su Ying, who is younger, probably taken when she was seven or eight years old.
The little girl smiled brightly, like a little angel descending into the world.
Pasha stared at the photo for a while, then stood up and took off her combat uniform, revealing a pair of white bionic arms. Unlike those rough mechanical prostheses, Pasha's gradually revealed body was almost exactly the same as a normal human being. Even the joints of the fingers look almost the same, but under the flesh-colored bionic skin, all the bones have been replaced with extremely hard alloy.
There are sixty or seventy people in the entire team, and only five are still alive today. Almost all of them have received a certain degree of bionic transformation.
Everyone else died.
