Chapter 986: Chaotic city, terrifying radioactive creatures!
After the eighty-four new wanderers were disarmed, all their belongings were inspected without any privacy.
Of course, those weapons, large and small, were ruthlessly confiscated and became private collections for the Guards to study.
Some multigrain cakes, or roasted radiation monster meat, were left behind in the wanderer’s grateful voice.
Depart from here to the Bone Village.
There, they will receive a three-day naturalization training. After passing the training, they will be received by the lord and given the status of permanent residents of Tianyuan.
As for being unable to pass, Wild Wolf did not say how to deal with it.
But looking at his appearance, he probably doesn't intend to let these ducks go, and there is a high probability that he will play the same old tricks of the Rangers again.
If you want to stay, you must first start from the lowest status of a slave, and then complete the tasks step by step to gain equal rights.
“It’s really strange here. Their tribe was built on such unobstructed land.”
"Aren't they afraid of the beast tide? This kind of plain is the favorite place for radiation beasts to run wild."
"What are you afraid of? I haven't seen their weapons. They feel more powerful than those gopher guys in the city." Awesome."
"They are so kind to us. I thought I would donate all the food, but I didn't expect to keep it all."
"Hey, if you can really stay here. It would be nice to become a resident of the shelter."
Stepping into the territory's boundaries, the tired wanderers became energetic again, whispering to each other and walking behind.
Compared to living in the ruins of the city, they may not have even spent one percent of the time in the wilderness from birth to now.
In my impression, wilderness is synonymous with death.
Anyone who dares to go out will eventually die in the pursuit of freedom.
But now that they have truly come out, everyone is surprised to find that the outside world does not seem to be what they imagined.
The air here does not have the disgusting rancid smell or burnt smell in the city at all. It is as fresh as if it had been raining continuously.
The ground here is soft and soft when you step on it, and there are no dangerous mutant plants visible to the naked eye. People don't have the slightest worry about threats appearing in the corners.
"Perhaps we should have come out a long time ago, the wilderness is like paradise!"
A wanderer expressed the sentiments of most people present, which attracted many echoes.
But walking in the middle of the team, Osmond, who had negotiated previously, was a little worried.
The strength of this Tianyuan Shelter is indeed much stronger than imagined!
They have the ability to transmit information despite the isolation of heavy fog.
Judging from the speed at which the guards gathered just now, it was fortunate that no one had rushed in before, otherwise it would have been a disaster to be discovered.
"Boss, I have a hunch that the guard just now definitely discovered us. He can see that we are different from those wanderers." Vice-captain Mike walked up and whispered to himself: "Fortunately we Hide all the supplies, otherwise the search would have exposed them all!”
“Don’t worry, we are also people who grew up wandering in the jungle, they won’t find anything.”
Osmond nodded slightly, sighed, and finally felt a little more relaxed.
In the past few days, all the gophers in the city seemed to be going crazy, scraping the ground to search for the homeless people who had invaded the Sunny Harbor Shelter, in order to find the stolen "industrial core".
At first, Osmond was almost scared to death when he found out that it was him who they found.
Who would have thought that the industrial core that he found so casually could be so important and make Qinggang so crazy.
But after being chased for several days, his courage gradually grew.
Although most of the supplies were left behind on the way to escape, the invasion did not gain enough capital to leave here.
But as long as the industrial core can be preserved.
Osmond thinks long-term and is not blinded by temporary interests. He wants to do something big.
Not to mention other things, you must at least get enough materials or status for the rest of your life.
From the recordings collected that night, he was surprised to find that Tianyuan Shelter actually cooperated with the foundation's caravan.
Joining this seemingly not very powerful Tianyuan shelter is an important part of his plan.
The reason is simple.
Only the big forces on Blue Star can buy the industrial core without fear of retaliation from Clear Harbor Sanctuary.
They don’t care about local snakes. Maybe they would have left by the time Sunny Harbor Sanctuary realized what they were doing.
In addition, the foundation's caravan can definitely afford a suitable price.
After all calculations in the entire Qinggang City, there is indeed no place more suitable for hiding than this Tianyuan Shelter!
Ever since, Osmond, who was leading his people to find a way to enter the sanctuary's sphere of influence, was lucky enough to find out about the recruitment order issued by the Wild Wolf.
He was keen and realized the opportunity immediately.
After worrying about a group of homeless people in the city, Osmond hurriedly brought people over to test them.
Now it seems that this move was indeed the right one!
“We’re here, ahead is the Bone Village where you will live in the future.”
"Everyone is here, wait where you are, the head of Barren Bear Village of Barren Bone Village will be here soon!"
At the same time, the wanderers arrived at the fifth floor area.
Suma, who was running around in the ruins of the city wearing the Sun Chaser Armor, was about to arrive at the area around Qinggang Sanctuary.
Compared with what we came here a few days ago, this area is obviously much more dilapidated now, with the level of ruins comparable to that of the western suburbs.
Continuous tactical nuclear bombing has opened up several large holes in the northern suburbs, with lingering radiation inside.
Every time you pass through these big holes, the Geiger counter built into the Sun Chaser will buzz wildly.
For fear of attracting surrounding monsters, Somo could only swing around at high places and try not to get close to dangerous areas.
But even so, several eyeless radiation creatures still followed.
“This size has nearly doubled in just one night?”
Seeing a mutated hyena that was already half a man tall coming from the side, Sumo turned to one side , his right fist hit the hyena's hard lower abdomen firmly.
The latter whined, burst out of the air and hit a stone slab, and the bones in his body shattered instantly.
This time, it seemed to scare the remaining radioactive creatures.
They hesitated for a moment, but finally retreated and disappeared into the dark corner.
“It seems that the IQ of these guys has also improved, and they actually know how to bully the weak and avoid the strong.”
No matter how much the returning buff has improved the physical fitness of these monsters, the IQ alone has changed. , which is enough to multiply the threat they can pose several times.
Considering that these monsters are not restricted to the city like the undead, but have the authority to step out of the city.
Sumo thought for a moment, and could only hastily step forward and tear off a piece of mutated plant bark, wrap the hyena's corpse in it, throw it into a semi-collapsed building, and continue along the way. The route is heading towards Sunny Harbor Refuge.
About half an hour later, I walked through the area shrouded in nuclear radiation with difficulty.
When we arrived in front of the lightning wall, our field of vision became much emptier.
In this scorched earth that has been covered by bombs, the ground is covered with a thick layer of black ash.
Tens of thousands of shackled humans were struggling to use the tools at their hands to transport the black ash further away.
At the gap in the lightning wall, there were also sparks flying from many engineering equipment, which seemed to be undergoing emergency repairs.
Industrial area behind high walls. The ruins of buildings burned by homeless people were being brought out by trucks and piled up in front of the lightning wall, turning them into a roadblock.
Looking at this, Sunny Harbor Refuge is ready for a long tug of war.
"In a short period of time, the threats from here should be much less."
Although we don't know how much strength is hidden in the real underground part of Qinggang Shelter.
But judging from their current appearance, they probably don’t have any additional killer weapons.
After continuing to observe for a while, I asked Zero to record the information of the surrounding five kilometers to form a 3D model.
Sumo did not continue to move forward, but decisively turned around and returned along the original path.
If the undead attack again, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for Sunny Harbor Sanctuary to extend its tentacles to the outside world.
As for traveling across the entire city to the western suburbs or even beyond, the possibility is slim.
The most important thing to do at this time is not to attract any attention from the other party and to keep a low profile to the end.
As for how it will develop in the future, we can only take it one step at a time, and let the game determine the next rhythm.
For a city where tens of millions of people lived before the war, Qinggang City’s infrastructure was still in place.
The rulers here ambitiously planned a complete urban pipeline and infrastructure layout from the very beginning.
The western suburbs are rich areas, and the northern suburbs are industrial areas.
The eastern suburbs are municipal areas, while the southern suburbs are residential areas.
Different from the sparseness of the other two places, we have just taken a detour to the wilderness outside the southern suburbs.
The team of scavengers who rushed over were shocked again!
The buildings here are like leeks in a vegetable field, densely packed together. Each building has seventy floors.
Based on the floor height and number of households, the number of residents that can be accommodated in one building alone exceeds 20,000.
“According to information, this residential area used to be home to more than eight million people.”
“I thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but now I see it, it should be even more than this number. Much more. "
The thick-browed Dreamer looked at the information recorded on the paper, with unconcealable astonishment in his eyes.
There are many cities on earth with a population of more than 10 million.
But he has never seen nearly ten million people gathering in one area alone.
It is hard to imagine how humans would feel living in this small room like a pigeon cage, looking at the densely packed buildings around them from the window.
In comparison, those super communities in big cities on the earth can only be regarded as playing house, not even remotely as good as this one.
However, if a disaster breaks out here
"We have to be more careful. The complexity of the terrain here may be more terrifying than that of the Fifth Ring Road."
The western suburbs are full of single-family villas where wealthy people live. Are there any dangers in the sparse neighborhoods there? You can see clearly.
But in the southern suburbs, although there are rarely any collapses on the reserved road between the two buildings, the actual walkable distance may only be about ten meters.
The sheltering effect brought about by this complex terrain is simply a paradise for radiation creatures to survive.
In order to avoid possible attacks, all the scavengers were instantly vigilant, and the accompanying Tianyuan Army also turned on their gun safety.
Of course, if it weren't for the temptation of upgrading the route, facing this kind of scalp-numbing danger would be a problem.
Absolutely half of the people present wanted to turn around and leave, and they would never actively put themselves in danger.
But the exciting thing is that the game has already taken this situation into consideration.
Everyone starts from the first time they step into the land of southern suburbs.
The experience bar of the scavengers began to fluctuate slightly, and the value provided per minute was comparable to rummaging through the territory for a whole day!
The experience bar of the Tianyuan Army who chose reserve soldiers also began to increase to a certain extent.
Although it is still not as good as the lightning wall battle that I participated in before, it is still much more training than training in the territory.
“Be careful and get down!”
Having just entered the first outermost neighborhood, Feng Long’s body had already made a choice before he finished speaking.
Pa bang bang.
A violent roar erupted from the barrel, pushing the bullets inside the magazine out of the chamber, shooting into the hazy mist.
A huge hamster that wanted to pounce was beaten into a sieve while still in the air.
At the same time, other Tianyuan troops also reacted and shot at the huge objects in the mist that they thought were ruins.
For a moment, tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets whizzed out, bringing out streaks of blood, and there was a howl that made people's hearts tremble.
“Damn it, this is a rat’s nest!”
Feng Long cursed secretly, and everyone began to retreat in embarrassment. They could only keep retreating and retreating out of the block.
A mutated hamster the size of a calf, with sharp teeth over one meter long.
The first time I saw this kind of monster, even though the San value had been raised a lot by the aliens, someone still peed their pants on the spot.
Perhaps facing humans wearing powered armor, these radioactive creatures did not dare to challenge them rashly.
But for some ordinary humans who look "delicious", their aggression exceeds imagination.
The sharp rocks are like tofu. If they are hit by the hamster's teeth, they will form a deep pit.
The hair covering the body can also greatly reduce the impact of bullets.
Unless they are hit in the head, the mutant hamsters will continue to charge until they eat delicious prey.
"Get back, this street won't work!"
Realizing that he and others might have stepped into the territory of mutant hamsters, Feng Long roared.
The two brigades could only fight and retreat, and retreat continuously toward the starting point.
However, everyone still underestimated how persistent these hamsters were in provoking delicious food.
Gradually, the squeaking sounds became more and more intensive
“No, we have to disperse and evacuate!”
The male gunman suddenly knocked open his shotgun , knocking back a hamster and letting out a strange cry.
At this time, there were more than a hundred mutant hamsters surrounding them from all directions. Even if everyone could win in the end, it would only be a miserable victory.
Want to live.
“What the hell, what are you doing?”
The old man on the side glanced and saw the male gunman taking out explosives from his arms After wrapping up, I suddenly lost my composure.
This guy is always capable of doing things that are hard to understand.
These were comparable to four explosive packets the size of moving bricks. Who knows how he tied them to his body and brought them here.
If this exploded on the way here.
Damn.
Before the other scavengers around him could complain, the male gunman gritted his teeth and raised the explosive package above his head, and suddenly lit the fuse.
“Leave me alone, you retreat first!”
"Team A, if anyone is willing to follow me, rush to the block on the right after the explosion!"
