Before leaving Linghu Wetland Park, Chu Guang first took Yeshi to the mutated leech nest near the parking lot.
We found those mushrooms there.Ye Shi pointed at the broken cement pipeline not far ahead.
Fortunately you didn't go in.
Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.
Let's go.
Our goal today is not it.
I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don’t know whether mutated leeches can be used.
The two carefully walked away from the mutant leech's nest, avoiding lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and trying to walk in the sun.
Walked a long way to the east.
Looking at the elevated road bridge and residential building in front of him, Ye Shi, who was following Chu Guang, couldn't help but ask.
Aren't we going to hunt?
Yes.
Then why are you getting further and further away from the forest?
The forest is ahead.
？
Chu Guang did not explain much, silently took off the iron pipe rifle on his back and pushed the bullet into the chamber, and the momentum on his body also changed.
Not far away is a broken elevated road bridge.
On the concrete load-bearing column covered with moss, the traces of time are hidden by the shadows of green plants.
The mouse as big as a washbasin licked the mud and water in the gutter stone pit. When he found two uninvited guests who had entered, he rushed to the grass on one side.
Ye Shi raised his head, his pupils slightly expanded, and a shocking color was printed on it.
Behind the broken viaduct were tall buildings covered with vines and moss.
The thick roots drilled into the cracked concrete land, and the trunks rose from the ground in the middle of the road, overturning the bus and bus stations that had long turned into iron slag.
In this green hell, there is vitality and a murderous intent that devours all.
The world in my eyes was too shocking, and every frame seemed like a post-apocalypse-style artwork, so that Ye Shi even forgot that this is the game world.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Guang's words.
This is the real forest...
Be careful from here.
Chu Guang said as he opened the security of the iron pipe rifle and explored forward step by step.
Although this place can only be regarded as the northern suburb of Qingquan City and is far from reaching the core urban area, we still have to not relax our vigilance.
High-rise residences, sewers, three-dimensional gardens, parking lots, drone hives, CNC planting towers, maglev stations and behind every window…
All man-made miracles have become natural greenhouses and seedling beds after being abandoned by civilization.
After the nuclear war, there was indeed a long cold winter on this land, but it only lasted for less than half a century.
The power of nature reverses everything.
The first thing that fell was the high-rise building, where moss began along the backlight, eroding upwards, and finally crawled throughout its body.
And those non-high-rise buildings were not spared.
In those years of human decline, it only takes a few heavy rain and a stuffy summer to make this place a paradise for the wild growth of fungi and angiosperms.
They provide a wealth of food for wildlife.
After the urban drainage system was paralyzed, the freshwater resources in the urban area were even richer than the Linghu next to it.
Wild animals and out-of-control poultry began to migrate from forests, lakes, and farms to cities with more comfortable living environments, and evolved into fierce and bloodthirsty mutants under the triple action of radioactive materials, genetic weapons and time.
They are collectively called alien species!
certainly……
There are far more dangers here.
I carefully advanced along the street of No. 76 Street for a while, and it was quiet around me. Just as Ye Shi was thinking about where the alien species had gone, Chu Guang's voice came from beside him.
There is a situation.
In front of a scrapped car, Chu Guang suddenly stopped.
Ye Shi immediately came to his senses, stopped his steps, and looked around nervously, but saw nothing.
What happened?
Chu Guang's expression was solemn.
There are traces of survivor activities.
Other survivors?!Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, imitating Chu Guang to lower his voice, but could not hide the excitement in his tone. Are they an indigenous person on the wasteland?
Finally, I'm going to see other NPCs!
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
Chu Guang glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.
You don't have to be so excited, it's not something to be happy about.
Why?
Because in such places, strangers are more dangerous than alien species.
Without explaining to him, Chu Guang squatted down and found a string of cans strung with iron wire behind the scrapped wheel.
The aluminum jar broke out, and from the break, it looked like something had exploded, and you could vaguely smell the residual smell of rotten eggs.
Gunpowder with excessive sulfur, as well as thumbtips and iron sheets...
Chu Guang frowned.
Mutants?
Or a predator?
Normal survivors may not deploy triple-line mines near their settlements.
This kind of thing is difficult to hurt aliens with a sensitive sense of smell, in other words, it is for humans.
Judging from the residual smell, the explosion should be short, up to five hours or less.
Chu Guang turned around and asked.
When you came out from the ground, did you hear an explosion coming from the east?
Ye Shi shook his head nervously.
No.
You're waiting for me here.
Looking at Chu Guang who had put down the can and got up, Ye Shi asked nervously.
What are you going to do?
Investigate the previous situation.
I can go with you
You, stay here.
Ye Shi wanted to persevere, but when he met Chu Guang's eyes, he choked again when he said something to his mouth, and finally nodded slowly.
The pressure from the authority dog made him feel that the man in front of him was not talking to him, and he might be kicked off the line...
He ordered Ye Shi to hide next to the used car.
Chu Guang put away his gun, pulled out the sharpened steel pipe from his back, and quickly slipped into the building on the side of the street with his body low.
Although he did plan to let this player be used as bait when he came out, the situation is different now.
Opposite are other survivors, and they are likely to be plunderers or mutant tribes. The bait has lost its meaning and will instead alarm the enemy.
Chu Guang looked solemn, and the steel pipe in his hand was tightened.
The straight line distance from Linghu Wetland Park is up to 1 km away, and it is too close to Shelter No. 404!
Especially now that players are engaged in production, even if the smoke and noise generated are blocked by plants and concrete obstacles, they will sooner or later be discovered by people here over time.
Keeping these dangers is always a hidden danger.
Chu Guang was ready to kill someone.
Once he judges that the other party may pose a threat, he will take action without hesitation.
The ten-story street building has a very narrow safety passage and the narrow space is covered with moss.
But luckily, there are no particularly dangerous alien species here.
There were a few fat mutant mice on the five floors. They might have felt that they had many rats and were grinning at Chu Guang without knowing how to do anything.
If they ran away with their backs, they must have rushed forward, but this uninvited guest was not afraid at all. They, who were timid, dared not act rashly, but dared to tentatively thrust into pounce, baring their teeth with a sharp voice.
It's no longer surprising.
Without saying a word, Chu Guang went forward with a tube, stabbed the nearest mutant rat, and immediately poked one to death.
Seeing this guy so fiercely, the rats immediately fled in a scattered way, crawled into the entrance of the floor, and disappeared into the shadow.
It seems not a rat's nest.
It should be about ten or twenty...
If you have a little more, these guys will be difficult to deal with.
The mutant rat group is difficult even if a fully armed mercenary encounters it, let alone the self with only one iron-tube rifle.
Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, shook the steel pipe with a pointed steel tube, and threw the fat mouse that had been stabbed to death and the blood stains.
Go directly to the top floor of the tenth floor.
Chu Guang used the steel pipe in his hand as a crowbar, pried open the rusted door panel and entered the rooftop roof.
The wind was very strong on the rooftop.
He walked to the rusted water tank and looked towards the community to the east. The scene he saw really confirmed his conjecture.
I saw a wooden camp standing in the open space in the middle of the concrete building, with rags and construction waste blocking the outside world's view.
The survivor strongholds on the wasteland are roughly divided into two categories: one is to live directly in houses that did not collapse before the war, and the other is to start a new stove in ruins or open spaces, depending on the surrounding situation.
Raiders living in urban areas usually live in buildings and rarely build such primitive residences and fortifications.
Only mutants with an average height of two meters and a weight of 300 kilograms will build such wooden shacks when there is clearly a ready-made house to be used.
The wooden stakes at the entrance of the camp were sharpened, like the fangs of wild animals, with several broken limbs and broken corpses on it, and the ground was covered with dry blood.
They eat everything.
It is not just fungi, but also the fruits of plants, and even the meat of mutated flies, mice, and cockroaches.
Of course, their favorite food is still the same as before
A man with two feet.
Looking around the sides of the street, Chu Guang saw a mutant sentry carrying a metal longbow on the roof of the shop building along the street at the end of No. 76 Street.
The green skin is very similar to the orcs in the fantasy movie, and in fact they are indeed as strong, barbaric, rude and bloodthirsty as orcs.
Two meters tall and knotty muscles were wrapped in armor made of metal garbage, and the second one could even be seen on the billboard that served as a breastplate.
The two rolled steel bars embedded on the shoulders are even more effective when dealing with chopping and blunt weapon damage. They can block chainsaws or axes.
It can be said to be quite cyberpunk.
If Chu Guang and Ye Shi continued to walk forward just now, at most, they would be ambushed by the mutant sentry!
I felt a little scared in my heart.
Chu Guang moved his Adam's apple gently, moved his eyes, and continued to look at the mutant camp in the east community.
Because there are too many covers, he cannot see how many people there are. He can only roughly judge from the size of the camp based on experience. The number of mutants should be between twenty and thirty.
Small mutant settlement...
Chu Guang's expression gradually became solemn.
These guys are not easy to mess with!
Almost at the same time, a light blue system pop-up appeared in his sight.
Mission: Suppress the Mutant Tribe on 76th Street
Type: Side
Reward: 200 reward points
etc.
Can missions be triggered outside the shelter?!
Chu Guang was stunned at first and immediately tried to exhale the system, but there was no reaction.
The light blue mission pop-ups dissipated, as if they had never appeared before.
It seems that the system can only be turned on near the shelter, but the mission can be triggered anywhere outside the shelter?
but……
These two hundred reward points are a bit awesome.
No hesitation.
Chu Guang immediately put away his weapons, turned around and went downstairs, and quickly left the area with Ye Shi who looked confused.
That's a reward of 200 points!
The side lines that summoned 100 players were only given to 100 points, but the reward was given to 200. It is obvious that this task is not so easy to complete.
Maybe there is a big pit hidden inside!
Chu Guang is not stupid.
He wouldn't be so obviously fooled.
Master Manager, what did you see?Looking at Chu Guang who finally stopped, Ye Shi, who was breathless, supported his knees with his hands to rest and couldn't help asking.
Chu Guang, who was standing still, replied casually.
It's a camp for mutants.
Then we... just left like that?
Otherwise, fight them?Lost and thrown into the oil pan?Chu Guang glanced at him and thought with his brain that we only had one gun.
There is even only one person who can fight.
Ye Shi closed his mouth and stopped talking.
His head didn't turn around just now, just thinking that the mutant is the NPC of this game. Now, I heard from the manager that this mutant should be a hostile force?
And they also eat people...
He secretly recorded this information, and Ye Shi planned to share it with other players after he went back.
Now it is not a good idea to provoke those beasts. We need to be more prepared and concentrate our efforts to give them the car, and we will do it once and for all.
Chu Guang, who had walked away, cursed.
It's so unlucky... The mutant's camp is actually on No. 76 Street, directly opposite the east gate of the park.
We have to be careful anyway!
……
The original hunting route can only be offset!
Chu Guang took Yeshi around No. 76 Street, walked about a mile north along the elevated road and bridge out of the city, and found an abandoned construction site.
The construction site is very large and should be a property that has just started construction. One of the buildings has been built on the 17th and 18th floors, and the other several large pits should be the foundation being dug.
Most of the equipment used for construction has been scrapped, and the crane tower has even hit the unfinished building, forming a slope.
It can be seen that the quality of this house is quite good.
Even the hanging tower was knocked down by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, but the concrete building was only smashed into a gap, and it did not even hurt the main structure.
The steel piled on the construction site has been rusted, and the cement contained in the bag has also hydrated and deteriorated, and cannot be used anymore.
However, what is surprising is that Chu Guang found a large number of unused blue-gray stones here!
Chu Guang recognized it at a glance. This thing was limestone. The main ingredient was correct. It should be calcium carbonate, which could be used as a raw material for firing cement.
Good stuff Ah!
Chu Guang was secretly happy, so he took out the map and made a mark on it.
It is not a problem to refine all these limestones into cement, and building two buildings.
As long as Lao Bai unlocks the technology of firing calcium carbonate cement, they will no longer have to worry about the raw materials of cement for a long time in the future!
We found those mushrooms there.Ye Shi pointed at the broken cement pipeline not far ahead.
Fortunately you didn't go in.
Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.
Let's go.
Our goal today is not it.
I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don’t know whether mutated leeches can be used.
The two carefully walked away from the mutant leech's nest, avoiding lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and trying to walk in the sun.
