[Third level mission No. 01 starts.
Task content: Ask scavenger Xiao Mo to recover the rabies No. 6 vaccine mutated virus sample before 23:00 midnight on September 27.
Mission failures will be punished and successes will be rewarded.
If a scavenger fails to complete two consecutive tasks, according to regulations, he will be wiped out by the system. The system will randomly wait for new scavengers to appear.]
September 25, 13:25 pm.
The sky was a little dark, and the rain kept falling.
The road is very wide, with dense forests on both sides.
However, the originally wide road has become quite congested due to vehicles parked and abandoned everywhere.
Many of these vehicles were still burning, and some were emitting black smoke, as if they had just been looted by the flames of war.
Perhaps the government and the military once used heavy bulldozers to open a passage on this road in order to pass through it. They just opened a passage in the center of the road that can only accommodate one vehicle.
A bright yellow off-road vehicle with a very naughty appearance was driving from a distance, and the vehicle was not driving too fast.
The wipers on the front window faithfully painted a clear picture for the driver.
Xiao Mo looked at the smoking cars on both sides of the road, as well as the dense bullet holes on some vehicles, and the bones visible to the naked eye on the roadside, and whispered: "It seems that the army has just been sent to clean this place."
Xue Lihong, who was driving, replied casually: "That's just right. We can also reach the destination quickly."
Xiao Mo thought the same thing, "I hope the bridge across the river is still intact."
Xue Lihong made a god-knows-what expression.
Xiao Mo smiled and closed his eyes to check the map in his mind. The map provided by the system was very easy to use. He could clearly "see" the green dot representing himself running on the map. As he moved forward, the map was constantly refreshing. , just like satellite navigation, and there is a red dot at the front of the map that keeps flashing.
That was the destination of their trip and their goal.
Xiao Mo opened his eyes and looked ahead on the road, "It's not far away. After crossing the bridge across the river, we will reach City H. It's past noon. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Xue Lihong shook her head, "Let's talk when we get to the target location. Finish early and go back early. Qiu Feng's attitude is weird and the car is too old."
The last sentence of yours is the key point, right? But he also wanted to change his car very much. He didn't understand how someone could paint an off-road vehicle that could be used as a military vehicle in such a cool and bright yellow! Someone actually bought it!
If there wasn't something about this car that dissatisfied Xuelihong, they might have to use this car for a long time. It's scary to think about it!
Oh, I forgot to mention, Qiu Feng is General Qiu, the current military head of the Zhongshan City Security Base.
Before coming, Qiu Feng contacted them by satellite phone and wanted to entrust them to do something, but they declined because they wanted to come to H City.
Qiu Feng didn't say anything clearly on the phone, but when he heard that they were coming to H City, he seemed to disapprove and asked them to wait, saying that he would go and find out the situation first.
Unfortunately, the time limit for the mission released by the system this time was relatively tight. They had to leave as soon as possible. They could only ask Qiu Feng to contact them immediately if he had any news, bring a satellite phone and come out.
Xiao Mo lowered his head and rummaged through his bag for something to eat. Zhongshan City was relatively far from City H. In the past, it would have only taken more than five hours to drive on the expressway. But now, they have been on the road for two full days. Most of the time they were detouring and finding roads. If the system hadn't been able to adjust the map at any time based on where they were, they might have abandoned the vehicle and chosen to walk along the highway to City H.
It has only been three months since the first virus outbreak, but the entire world has changed dramatically. Although the expected apocalypse has not completely arrived, the current situation is not much better.
In the past three months, monsters and special virus outbreaks occurred frequently around the world. Often, just after the crisis in one city was resolved, something happened again in another area, which was simply overwhelming.
In the beginning, some countries used missiles to destroy entire cities to solve the problem. After discovering that this situation was not an isolated incident, they did not dare to continue doing this. The country is so big and it was completely bombed. Where would they live? What to eat
The only thing that comforts everyone is that both monsters and viruses have their own territory. As long as humans do not take them away from the "drop zone" where they first appeared, they will never exceed that invisible limit.
Because of the rules of this game, people have a little more breathing room, and the world finally has some hope. Everyone has to believe that as long as those threats are eliminated area by area, maybe they can take back the earth.
"Tell me, the goal of our mission this time, is the rabies No. 6 vaccine mutated virus sample..."
"Xiao Mo." Xue Lihong suddenly called him.
"Huh?" Xiao Mo looked up.
"Hold the nail gun, there's someone ahead."
Hearing that there was someone in front of him, Xiao Mo took out the nail gun from his backpack, stuffed the food he had just taken out back into the depths of his backpack, and then threw the backpack at his feet.
Along the way, they encountered not many monsters, but many dangers, and most of the dangers came from humans like them.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hit the roof of the car with a loud bang. The rain splashing on the windows was very obstructing the view. Xue Lihong turned the windshield wipers to the fastest speed.
Xiao Mo's five senses were not as good as Xue Lihong's. He looked ahead carefully for several seconds and saw it!
A group of people in military uniforms ran wildly on the road ahead. As they ran, the group turned around and fired into the sky.
Someone saw the approaching car and immediately waved to them, as if they wanted to tell them something.
"Wow!" A harsh sound like the cry of a baby or the strange cry of a night bird came from the air.
Xue Lihong's face changed.
"Crunch!" Xue Lihong, who was driving the vehicle, slammed on the brakes, grabbed the nail gun, opened the door and jumped out of the car, "Get out of the car! It's an angel!"
Xiao Mo was not slow to react. When he heard the word "angel", he first grabbed the armrest and waited for the car to stop. He picked up the fire ax at his feet in addition to the nail gun, pushed the door open and jumped out of the car and rolled on the spot.
It’s almost common sense not to stay in the car when you encounter an angel.
"Whoa!" Something flew over the roof of the car and landed on the car.
"Crack!" The thing scratched the roof of the car in one go. It seemed to know that there was food it liked to eat inside the iron sheet.
"I just said we should change a car. The skin of this car is too brittle." Xue Lihong turned around and fired a shot at the roof of the car. He seemed to know that the angel would land on their car without even looking.
"No car can stop the angel!" Xiao Mo paid attention to his surroundings. He was not looking at the sky but the ground.
"Poof!" The nail gun hit something on the car, and the thing made a shrill cry and flew up again.
Its huge snow-white wings spread out like an angel, which is where the name of this monster comes from.
But no one can see the angel's body, everyone can only see the angel's wings!
The nail gun clearly hit the angel, but it didn't leave any marks on its body.
"Boss, I heard that there is an aerospace materials research base in the suburbs of City H." Xue Lihong was not discouraged and concentrated on dealing with this angel.
"What do you want to do there?" Xiao Mo smiled and raised the nail gun, "Do you think that if the city is destroyed, you can enter that kind of place freely? Be careful!"
The two men aimed their nail guns at the approaching angel at the same time.
"Ring-" The satellite phone left in the car suddenly flashed blue at this time.
But Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were far away from the car now, and they didn't even know there was a call coming in.
Inside the Zhongshan City Security Base, Qiu Feng saw that no one answered his three consecutive calls. He was so anxious that he clenched his fist and smashed it on the desk.
He had just received news that because there were too many angels and mutant rats in H City, and they were continuing to spread to surrounding counties and cities, no one knew how big this "release area" was. In order to reduce further losses, and to completely eliminate The threat was finally declared by the h city government. After discussion and decision at the supreme meeting, missiles will be dropped on the entire city of h at 17:00 this afternoon to completely blow up city h!
17 o'clock, only three and a half hours from now!
Although everyone knows that throwing missiles is like drinking poison to quench thirst, sometimes you really have to do it even though you know it is wrong.
At present, he is not qualified to be in the Supreme Council. In the middle, he was busy with other things and did not pay attention to this matter. As a result, he did not get the exact news until now.
I hope Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong haven't entered H City yet. No, I hope they have completed their mission and left H City.
Qiu Feng arranged for someone to call Xiao Mo and Xiao Mo every fifteen minutes, hoping to contact them as soon as possible.
The group of people running from the other side of the road were also dealing with an angel.
Angels are too difficult to kill. They only have one vital point on their bodies, which is their heads. However, their bodies are transparent and they are not stupid. They know how to shake their heads and shrink their heads when attacking to hide their vital points. Therefore, it is almost impossible to kill them with one shot. things.
At the same time, angel wings cannot be penetrated by ordinary ammunition, and their claws are also extremely powerful. As long as they are caught, it will be useless even if you are wearing iron armor.
They also have a greater ability.
"Kill them quickly! Don't let them open their mouths to summon mutant rats!" a man in military uniform yelled from the crowd running over.
Xiao Mo and the others knew better about the angel's habits and lethality.
Seeing that the nail gun couldn't deal with the angel, Xue Lihong immediately waved to Xiao Mo and made a gesture.
When Xiao Mo saw it, he pointed his gun at the angel who was rushing toward Xue Lihong, and kept firing in an attempt to disrupt its sight and distract it.
No one wanted to be surrounded by a large number of mutated rats. Xue Lihong no longer hid her clumsiness and rolled on the spot. She rolled to Xiao Mo's side and picked up the fire ax he had thrown on the ground. She stood up and rushed forward, exerting all her strength!
Then he jumped up high and attacked the angel who was rushing towards him.
"Wow!" the angel screamed.
Xue Lihong grabbed its wings and swung the ax to chop down where its head should be.
If you miss the mark with one strike, hit it again. He had killed several angels before and had gradually figured out where they would hide the vital parts of their heads.
The angel struggled to fly high, but Xiao Mo did not dare to shoot the nail gun randomly. Although the nail gun had been modified, its accuracy would be much worse after a certain distance. Even if he aimed and shot, it would probably hit Xue Lihong.
Someone over there screamed in surprise, as if they didn't expect that random people they met on the road could jump on the angel and kill it.
The other angel kept screaming, and it seemed to want to fly over to support its companions.
"Hey, brother over there, don't let him bark again!" Xiao Mo shouted distractedly.
"Bang!" A loud gunshot sounded, and the group of people chose high-power weapons.
Xiao Mo turned his head and took a quick look over there, and found that the angel's wings might be injured. He tried to fly high several times but failed to fly.
Xue Lihong seemed to have found the angel's head. He raised his hand and slashed it with the fire ax.
"Click!"
A large amount of blood spurted out, the invisible angel appeared, and a body that looked like a skinned human appeared and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Xue Lihong jumped off the angel in advance.
Several people in the group had been scratched by the angels. They didn't care about the ammunition. They all aimed their high-power guns at the remaining angel and shot them all.
"Squeak!"
This scream was different. When Xue Lihong heard it, she immediately shouted "something bad" in her heart.
The angel's wings burst into blood and fell from the sky.
The group of people immediately surrounded it and shot it one after another, firing bullets at it for free.
Xue Lihong waved to Xiao Mo, "Let's go! That angel summoned a mutant rat!"
His voice was loud enough to be heard by the group of people who were still shooting the angels wildly.
When Xiao Mo heard that the mutant rat was about to be summoned, he was so frightened that he immediately ran towards the car he had just gotten off.
Xue Lihong also ran back to the car. They couldn't abandon this car yet. There were many useful things on it.
Fortunately, only a few holes were scratched on the roof of the car, and the vehicle could still start. The group of people stopped shooting the angels and all ran towards them.
Everyone was dazzled when they saw this car, but this did not hinder their speed in getting on the car.
Xiao Mo and Xiao Mo didn't say anything when they saw them opening the door and getting in the car.
Seeing that the group of six people either sat in the car or grabbed the luggage rack on the roof, Xue Lihong said, "Sit tight!"
Shift gears, put some force under your feet, and step on the accelerator.
The car rushed out with a roar.
A large number of black and gray rats sprang out from the woods on both sides, and soon the road was filled with black mutant rats.
Xue Lihong's car kept stopping, raising the speed to the highest speed he could reach now.
The three people hanging outside the car were more unlucky. They couldn't get into the car, so they would inevitably be pounced on by the mutant rats. However, the car was fast and their reactions were good. Although they received a few claws, they were able to pounce on them successfully. All the mutated rats on his body were chopped off.
There was no angel command. Although the mutant rats were summoned, they would not chase the car after losing their target. Instead, they were very interested in the two angel corpses on the ground. A mutant rat approached the corpse and scratched it a few times. The angel didn't respond and bit into it again.
Until then, the angel still didn't respond, and the mutant rats immediately went crazy, squeaking and screaming, and gathered together towards the two corpses!
Layers upon layers of mutated rats pounced on the two corpses.
When the mutant rats dispersed again, there were only two slightly strange-shaped white bones left on the road, as well as white feathers all over the ground.
Seeing that they finally got rid of the mutant rats, the three people who got into the car exhaled.
Xiao Mo felt it was a pity. Two angel corpses could be exchanged for two second-level standard energy crystals.
One of the three men, a middle-aged man wearing a camouflage military uniform but without epaulets on his shoulders, said: "Thanks, brother, I'm glad I met you. Are you going to City H?"
Xue Lihong has never been responsible for diplomacy, but Xiao Mo turned around and replied: "Yes, we came to H City to find someone. I have a relative here."
He paid special attention to the clothing of these people and found that none of them had epaulets or armbands. They were wearing imitation military uniforms and were not real soldiers.
The man in military uniform wiped off the rain and blood on his face, "You are too late. The inner city of H city was completely occupied by angels and mutant rats two days ago. As of this morning, the survivors have been able to evacuate. Almost all of them have withdrawn.”
"You said almost. What about you? Are you here for a mission?" Xiao Mo didn't need to look at them too much. He could tell by looking at the clothes and equipment of these people that they were a mercenary team.
"Yes, we have received a mission." The man in military uniform seemed to be hesitating whether to elaborate.
At this moment, another person suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Did you see the bus in front? After the bus, there is a bridge, but the bridge has been blown up when the last group of citizens evacuated. The car can't drive through, and we This is the angel I met here.”
"Creak!" Xue Lihong slammed on the brakes again.
Xiao Mo was used to it. When he felt the forward momentum, he immediately reached out and grabbed the armrest on the side.
The three people behind were in a worse situation, and they all hit the back of the front seat.
Xiao Mo waited for the vehicle to stop, then turned around and said helplessly: "You should tell us such important news earlier."
The three people were wronged. Didn't they want to tell them earlier? Didn't they have no chance
The people inside the car were miserable, and the three people outside the car were even worse. They were almost thrown out of the car.
Everyone got out of the car, including Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong, who put some useful things in the car, mainly food and water, into their backpacks.
Xiao Mo picked up the satellite phone and saw the caller ID on it. He was about to call back when he saw the man in military uniform's eyes falling on his phone.
Satellite phones are a rare thing nowadays, and ordinary mercenary teams can't even dream of having one.
Xiao Mo didn't want to cause trouble, and it wasn't the right time to make a sound. After thinking about it, he quickly changed the sound of the call to vibrate, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and stuffed the satellite phone deep into his backpack.
When the man in military uniform saw Xiao Mo noticing him, he smiled awkwardly and turned his head away.
When the other mercenaries saw them loading things, they also stayed away because they didn't want to cause any misunderstanding.
However, this mercenary team is secretly guessing the identity of the two people. Satellite phone, coquettish off-road sports car = unusual identity
Xiao Moze finally looked back at the scarred car. I can finally say goodbye to you. It’s been a hard journey, thank you!
The mercenary team was targeted by the angels near here, and no one dared to speak after getting off the car.
No one knows where the first angels came from. Some people suspect that they were once humans and later mutated into this. However, no one has been able to capture the first angels to prove this judgment.
No one knows exactly what day they appeared, it seems that by the time people discovered them, angels were already everywhere.
After many bloody lessons, people finally concluded a rule, that is: angels are extremely sensitive to sounds, especially human voices.
Angels like to eat people. They not only like to eat themselves, but also like to share their prey with their pet mutant rats.
People are afraid of angels, and even more afraid of mutant rats, especially mutant rats under the command of angels.
In any city where angels and mutant rats appear, almost without exception they have to abandon the city and run away. Angels can still be killed with a large amount of ammunition, but how can mutant rats be killed cleanly
Moreover, there has been a saying among the survivors that some people bitten by angels and mutated rats will lose their minds and develop various symptoms such as rabies. When the patients' spasms stop and progress to the paralysis stage, seven of these patients will 10% will die, and 30% may turn into an angel without humanity.
Sadly, there is currently no treatment for the early symptoms of rabies, and there is no chance of recovery once you are transformed into an angel.
This kind of bacteria that causes human infection and even mutation is currently called angel virus.
The group crossed the bus and walked to the bridge as quietly as possible.
The traces of the battle left here are even heavier, with corpses everywhere, especially on the broken bridge.
From here, you can see how miserable H City was after the war. Many high-rise buildings were emitting black smoke. Thanks to the heavy rain, the fire did not spread, but the city filled with ruins and broken walls in the rain looked even more like a doomsday scene.
Xiao Mo wanted to ask those mercenaries if they knew the details of City H, but he couldn't ask, so he could only give up for now.
A tank was parked on the other side of the broken bridge. There were several cracks in the solid and thick body!
Xiao Mo's eyes shrank, were these cracks caused by mutant rats or angels
Xue Lihong was also looking at the tank.
The man in military uniform raised three fingers.
Xiao Mo asked with his eyes: What do you mean
The man in military uniform made a crawling mouse gesture and raised three fingers.
Xiao Mo understood. The other party was telling him that there were level 3 mutant rats in H City!
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong looked at each other. The last mission they had when they upgraded from level 2 to level 3 was to hunt down the level 2 mutated rat king. If Xue Lihong hadn't exchanged his life with an arm, their mission might have been over. It can't be completed.
Although the mutant rat king is much stronger than the ordinary second-level mutant rat, the second-level mutant rat is the second-level mutant rat. The third-level mutant rat will not be weaker than the second-level mutant rat king. If there are many third-level mutant rats in this city, , how terrible is that
Fortunately, his strength is now at level three. Xue Lihong's strength seems to be improving as his strength increases
However, Xue Lihong did not say that her abilities were improving, but that her actual abilities were gradually coming into play. In other words, what he thought was a perfect restoration of Xue Lihong was actually not perfect, at least he could not restore Xue Lihong's true strength along with it.
Xue Lihong herself didn't care much about this. This guy seems to be able to look calm and relaxed no matter how dangerous the situation is.
