Chapter 959: Scavenger’s Paradise, where treasures are everywhere!
In the swampy mud under the ruined bridge.
More than a dozen powered armors quickly interspersed in the river bed.
Relying on the cold nuclear power battery, the heat dissipation holes on the feet of the armor have been opened to the maximum, and the heat is radiating out.
A streak of cold light danced in the air, causing waves of frightening screams.
A group of irradiated mutant monsters that originally lived in the water system.
Survival depends on hunting the creatures that pass by the shore and accidentally step into this area.
Now, the prey is delivered to your door.
The caravan guards who can wear power armor and have sharp knives about 1.5 meters long protruding from their arms are not targets they can covet at all.
In less than five minutes, Darren and his men forcibly carved out a bloody road to the other side.
"Speed up, we need to get to the other side before the radiation creatures from further away come over!"
The blood stains on the ground are connected together.
The biological fragments scattered in the river bed are like a slaughterhouse, exuding a bloody smell.
Following the path opened by the guards, a group of scavengers covered their heads and hurried on.
Although we encountered several sudden dangers along the way, we finally successfully crossed the dangerous zone.
Arriving at the other side, Darren left the two of them responsible for ensuring safety at close range.
The remaining people roared out after him, scattering around like wild bees to clean up the surrounding threats.
“Pay attention to nearby dangers, form a formation quickly, and everyone should not walk around!”
This area can be called the outer edge of the Fifth Ring Road, and there are obvious big potholes on the road. Much more than in the western suburbs.
Because it had just rained, the lower half of the pit contained fishy stagnant water.
The wreckage of some vehicles that had not had time to drive away, eroded by time, were parked beside the large pit. Low trees full of strange fruits sprouted from the bottom of the pit, and branches emerged from the wreckage.
Similar to the lonely fifth-floor area in the territory, there are obviously more dangerous buildings above fifteen floors here.
Although it is not as high as the super-tall buildings in the center of the Fifth Ring Road that Darren warned about, it still does not lose half a point in terms of visual shock.
“Don’t touch any plants you don’t recognize, even a small piece of grass that looks harmless to humans and animals!”
Seeing a scavenger stupidly going to the green belt On the top, one of Darren's previous guards quickly reminded him: "This is paralysis grass. Although its toxins will not put your life in danger, if its juice seeps into your skin, we will have to carry you today." Go back.”
The green grass looks as harmless to humans and animals as the clover that is planted in large quantities in cities to protect the environment.
In the pre-war era more than two hundred years ago, it once had a nice name, hollow grass.
Its interior can absorb various harmful substances scattered in the air, store them and slowly digest them to protect the environment.
Unfortunately, as the radiation intensifies, the genes of the hollow grass will inevitably mutate.
It no longer stores harmful substances free in the air inside, but will automatically produce a special liquid to protect itself.
Once a creature is infected, it will quickly enter a state of paralysis, similar to a high-dose anesthetic.
Of course, it would be better if you travel in groups.
But if a person is anesthetized by this thing inside the dangerous city ruins, even a passing radioactive creature will become a fatal threat.
“It can actually paralyze people for a whole day. Damn it, isn’t this a natural anesthetic?”
“Not to mention, the front-end time of the hospital in our village is still Announced the task of searching for raw materials for medicines, including natural paralytics. ”
"Can this paralyzing grass be regarded as a natural paralyzing substance? We haven't tested the specific efficacy?!"
"I don't know, but we can bring some back to try and see if it works. If it can, this is another problem." It’s a huge income.”
“You’re right, the paralysis grass is everywhere on the roadside, and no one cares if you bring some.”
Facts have proved that in humans. In the eyes of this creature, everything is marked with value.
As long as the value outweighs the risk, there will be people who will take the risk and try it.
Seeing the scavengers lying on the grass with curious faces, grabbing a lot of paralysis grass through their clothes and putting them in cloth bags, the two guards opened their mouths, but in the end they did not choose to stop them.
Well, Darren had vaccinated everyone before coming.
This group of workers is different from the people we met before. They are not afraid of strange environments, but have extremely high, even terrifying enthusiasm.
As long as they are not bold enough to jump directly into the fire pit, especially obviously seeking death, the guards only need to watch quietly.
After collecting about half a catty of paralysis grass and putting it into bags, the scavenger team completed today’s good start.
On the route progress bar on the game panel, this thing gives a lot of experience points, which is roughly the same as finding the gun yesterday.
However, the slight difference is that the game is probably to prevent someone from cheating on points.
Each person can only gain experience once per day for a single type of item. If you pick it later, you will be prompted to get it tomorrow.
“I gave you seven points of experience, which is pretty good. If I can come here and collect this thing once a day from now on, I will be one step closer to collecting the 1,000 needed to upgrade to the second level!”
Seven days Time, close to fifty points of experience, is not too little.
As expected, there are treasures everywhere in Qinggang City. It is simply a paradise for scavengers!
The old Taoist looked at the panel happily, and then glanced at the trees growing in the big pit.
But this time, before he could take action, guard Gaspar rushed up and stopped him.
"These are explosive fruits. If you think your body can withstand the explosion of 200gTnT, then you can go up and try to see if you can pull this thing off the branch."
< br>200gTnT?
Isn't that almost equivalent to a tactical grenade?
Feng Long, who was watching the excitement from the side, was startled and quickly stopped everyone's rash ideas.
Qinggang City is indeed full of treasures, but on the other hand, dangers are also hidden in various seemingly inconspicuous corners.
If it weren’t for the Red Spider caravan escorts to lead the way and explain, everyone might have accidentally arrived here by themselves.
If you are not careful, you will be in danger.
"Everyone, please be careful not to touch any plants. Our task today is to investigate the situation of the two hospitals. We can wait until we are familiar with the terrain before we collect anything."
"Okay~"
The male gunman nodded and immediately led the people to the front of the team.
More than fifty people formed an arrow formation and headed east along the only remaining path on the road.
With the protection of the guards and Darren's sweep, it seems extremely safe here. However, in a corner of a ruined building that no one noticed, a black probe the size of a baby's fist followed the team closely until the last figure disappeared into the thick fog.
“The person who fought against the Hunting Tiger a few days ago turned out to be someone from the Foundation’s caravan?”
He was wearing light pajamas under the ground just after entering the Fourth Ring Road from the Fifth Ring Road. The man frowned and looked at the video screen.
A powered armor that rises from the ground and reaches high altitude, swooping down like a kite to kill radioactive creatures.
Wake up the predators from the gathering point, and use powerful force to force the power armor to temporarily leave the vicinity.
A powered suit with a follower near a dozen humans, sneaking all the way to Triumph Hospital.
The power armor in the picture is not difficult to identify, and the Foundation caravan logo on it is clearly visible.
The other party did not hide his identity, which is a bit intriguing.
“They should be searching for calm fans, but the strange thing is, why didn’t he choose to talk to us? How about a transaction? "
Beside the man in pajamas, a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and eyes like a vulture asked doubtfully.
As a gopher man who is rooted in the Fourth Ring Road of Qinggang City, the distance between the Giant City Shelter and the Flat Shelter is very close, so it is not surprising that most of the details of the battle that night were obtained.
Everyone was still speculating on where the mysterious power armor that fought against Hunter Tiger came from.
Now it seems that it is actually the foundation’s caravan.
The only difference is that in the past, when Foundation caravans arrived, they would go to Clear Harbor Sanctuary, and then Clear Harbor Sanctuary would convey their needs to all the gopher refuges and agree on a location for the transaction.
Not only did they not go to Qinggang this time, they secretly led people around the city.
"Who knows, anyway, the behavior of this group of people is arrogant enough. They clearly think that there is no one in this city that can threaten them."
As the manager of the giant city shelter, yeah Keith Aldrich shrugged indifferently, lifted his feet directly under the table and stretched them out on the table.
As the eighth-ranked shelter in Qinggang City, the Giant City Shelter is not good at fighting.
Let alone more than a dozen powered armors dispatched at the same time, even if there were only one or two, they were not sure of defeating the opponent.
In fact, the power armor is indeed considered the ceiling of individual combat in the entire Blue Star.
Human technology will not continue to grow explosively over time.
The old capital left over from the pre-war era has been used up, and the talents trained by the big forces have not iterated enough innovation capabilities, and technology will slowly stagnate.
In the past two hundred years, the powered armor has been updated with dozens of defense models for different purposes, but none of them has ever been strong enough to defeat other armors.
If you want to take down the opponent, you must either rely on the numerical advantage to surround it, or you have to bomb it with heavy firepower.
The former giant city shelter only has two power armors, one of which is Aldrich’s exclusive equipment.
Not to mention the latter's heavy bombardment, the opponent will not be stupid enough to stay in place and absorb the artillery fire.
With no obvious conflict of interest between the two, Aldrich wisely chose to be "blind."
Just like the decisions he made in the past, he himself is a person without much ambition.
The biggest goal is to maintain the foundation inherited from the previous generation of managers and continue to develop with nearly 50,000 people.
Of course, this idea is also related to Ken Chapman, who is in charge of the military of the giant city shelter.
"Master Manager, we can't sit back and let them do whatever they want within our sphere of influence. Otherwise, if this group of people turns their target towards us, it will be a troublesome thing."
The short man Chapman said coldly road.
“The world has changed. Although the foundation is strong, it is not strong enough to completely break the rules.”
“Calm down fans are common to all of us in Qinggang City. Property, they have broken the rules and harmed our interests by picking it without permission."
The powerful foundation did not make Chapman feel a single fear.
Perhaps from the outside, he is just an ordinary person who disappears when thrown into a sea of people.
However, contrary to his appearance, Chapman has a burning heart of revenge in his chest.
The target is none other than the most powerful
Qingang Sanctuary in Qinggang City!
Sounds like a crazy idea.
Pingtan Shelter, one of the top five in terms of strength, faced the flight formation of Sunny Harbor Shelter a few nights ago.
Like a child who has done something wrong, he has absolutely no power to fight back.
Giant City Sanctuary, which is even lower in the ranking, obviously does not have any qualifications or strength to talk about "revenge".
However, Chapman will never forget that rainy night fifteen years ago. Because of the mistakes made by others, the manager of Qinggang would not hesitate to ignore his previous achievements and choose to suffer. He killed all his relatives and sent two personal guards to hunt him down for three full days.
If he hadn't been lucky, he might have died in the pursuit fifteen years ago.
This is a blood feud, and it is also the only belief that supports him to survive and return to Qinggang City to lurk.
Perhaps he could not find any way to deal with Clear Harbor Sanctuary before.
But now, with the changes of the times, we have arrived in another strange world.
The opportunity seems to have come!
According to the intelligence collected, Clear Harbor Sanctuary seems to be planning to take the lead in establishing an external collective in the next meeting of all parties, which will be formed by sending certain combatants from all the gopher sanctuaries. The expedition team went to explore new places outside Qinggang City to find opportunities for changes in the times.
Austin Norton, deputy manager of the Clear Harbor Shelter, even shouted out the slogan.
In the new era, we must defeat all enemies.
Even powerful foundations and colleges cannot stop the rise of Qinggang City.
Of course, it sounds very domineering, but everyone knows that this is just Norton's own words.
If we really encounter a big force, they don’t even need to come forward. A tactical nuclear bomb can collapse the alliance in Qinggang City.
But now, by coincidence, the probe deployed outside did discover a group of foreign Foundation caravans.
Chapman really wants to see how Sunny Harbor Shelter will deal with this team in the next meeting.
"Isn't the meeting going to be held in two days? Manager, you can take this video with you and show it to Sunny Harbor Shelter for a good look."
"They are not trying to smooth everything out. Enemy, then start with this foundation caravan that breaks the rules?”
“Huh?”
After hearing Chapman's simplicity, Aldrich's expression changed slightly.
"Tell them, what if they offend that group of Foundation caravans?"
"It's okay, we won't offend them." A smile appeared on Chapman's gloomy face : "Aren't they looking for calm powder? Then we let him go and find it. Anyway, most of the mature ones have been picked by us some time ago."
"We can even use some means, Send some people to put on a good show, and give them some more.”
