Map drawing is one of the most common tasks. Naturally, such a high-precision drawing cannot be done manually. In fact, Zero has an extra piece of equipment on his left wrist. It was a multi-functional tactical watch rented in the hall of the Remte Trade Union. In addition to the related functions of watch time, compass, temperature test and date. It also has another function, which is a holographic scanner.
As long as this function is turned on, by connecting to the base computer, the places Zero has traveled will be displayed on the map plotter of the base. Because each base computer has its own security identification system, tactical watches like this are not universal. Usually, after accepting the task of drawing maps, mercenaries must rent designated watches from the trade union.
The tactical watch developed by Remut himself is relatively simple, and he has made up for the knowledge of the new era in his spare time. As far as he knew, the tactical wristwatch developed by a big company like Parkland even had a holographic image conversation function. If it was paired with electronic gloves, it could also be used as a holographic computer.
And now, with Zero out of the library. In Remut's base, the west campus of Lampez University City has completed the drawing of the plan and stereogram on the map machine.
He found a place in the shadow of the ruins and sat down. He hadn't closed his eyes or eaten for two days. The physical exertion exceeded his imagination, and now Zero needs to replenish energy. After drinking 200ml of secondary purified water and a tube of nutrients, Zero relaxed his body to promote food to be broken down faster and converted into energy for action. The body is resting, but Zero's head is still working.
In these two days, he has not encountered the other three mercenaries, which is due to the large enough area of the University City. But as the unknown area gradually decreases, the encounter between the two sides is only a matter of time. There were three people on the other side. Except for the expressionless Chinese woman, the other two men showed hostility. Especially the elemental domain ability user, when he left, Zero could clearly feel the murderous aura released by the other party against him.
The ability of the element domain is mysterious and powerful, but Zero is not afraid. No matter how powerful the ability is, it must be seen by the opponent before it can be used. And Zero didn't intend to confront head-on, and a high-level elemental domain ability user couldn't resist the damage of bullets. As long as Zero finds a chance, he can completely kill the man named Raff before the opponent's ability is activated.
If it wasn't for paying the temporary residence fee for Teddy and the others, the money would be enough to buy an old-fashioned sniper rifle for nothing. In a labyrinth-like area like a university city, it is not difficult to snipe a not-so-strong ability user.
But now, the remaining money is only enough to buy two fragments from the old era*.
The only thing to worry about is the Chinese woman, because she can't tell the depth, so she is dangerous.
After half an hour, Zero left the cover. The rest during this period has allowed him to store enough energy for two days of activities. He used the repulsion of the terrain to dive to the south of the campus.
The area in this area is mainly the living area, with rows of dormitory buildings surrounded by artificial gardens. There is even an artificial lake in the center of the living area. It can be imagined that in the old days, the lake must have been full of rippling waves and luxuriant grass, full of vitality. But now, the dormitory building has collapsed into pieces, the garden has been in disrepair for many years, and with long-term exposure to the sun, the vegetation has long since died. And the artificial lake has already bottomed out, and the dry bottom of the lake is covered with feces and body fluids of unknown animals, which is very disgusting.
Zero drilled into one of the dormitory buildings. The buildings above five floors had been damaged and collapsed, while the buildings below five floors were still in good condition, but there were cracks everywhere, as if they would collapse at any time. In the corridor on the ground floor of the dormitory building, a puddle of transparent sticky matter in the dark environment attracted Zero's attention. Zero squatted down, glued it lightly with his fingers, took it to his nose and smelled it lightly.
There was a faint fishy smell, a bit like the smell of dead fish. A slight numbness came from the fingertips, telling Zero that there was a small amount of toxin in this thing. This kind of thing is no stranger to Zero, and he has seen a lot in two days. That's the silky goo of rock spiders, which wrap their prey in silk and drag them away. During the dragging process of the spider web, such mucus will be left on the ground.
The mucus on the corridor has not yet condensed, indicating that a rock spider dragged its prey past. The traces of slime stretched from the corridor to the multifunctional hall, Zero stood up, took out a pair of * and walked towards the multifunctional hall.
Most of the door of the multi-purpose hall has been rotten, leaving only a small piece of wood to act as a cover. Zero looked in through the gap in the door panel, and there was an empty space in the multi-purpose hall. The morning sun shone in through the window, and in the light, human chrysalis wrapped in clusters of spider silk were hanging in the air.
A rock spider dragged its prey wrapped in spider silk up the wall, and then used the extremely thick slime of the spider silk to fix it to the ceiling of the hall, and a new human chrysalis joined the ranks. Zero didn't expect these monsters to use the multi-purpose hall as a food storage room, and these people would become a big meal for the rock spiders to breed. They will be sucked out of flesh and blood by hungry rock spiders in the web, and all that will be left is a skinny corpse.
After fixing the food to the ceiling, the rock spider disappeared into a crack in the corner of the hall. Then Zero got into the hall and came under the newly captured prey. These people wrapped in spider silk are old and young, male and female. Some of them have died of breath, while others still have a weak breath like this newly added prey.
Zero recognized the man who had just been captured. That rosaceous nose, which could almost be regarded as a sign, was the old alcoholic that Zero bumped into at the entrance of the trade union hall. Zero took out the dagger, cut open the spider web, and then gently supported the old drunkard's body and put him on the ground.
The neurotoxin on the spider silk has penetrated into the old alcoholic's body, and now Ling only hopes that this person was captured by the rock beads not long ago, and the poisoning is not yet deep, so he can also expel the toxin by bleeding him. Zero rolled up the drunkard's sleeves and tried to wipe his wrist with a dagger. Unexpectedly, the dagger was suddenly held by a hand. The old alcoholic who was supposed to be paralyzed opened his eyes wide and asked Zero: "What are you going to do?"
"Are you not poisoned?" Zero was surprised.
The drunkard sneered, "Which monster hunter have you ever seen be brought down by a familiar monster? What a joke. I let it catch you on purpose, you idiot!"
Ling was slightly surprised, he knew about hunters, but he didn't know that there was such a category as monster hunters. What's more, he didn't expect that the old man with one foot in the coffin in front of him would be a hunter.
