Since they were not allowed to move around at will, everyone just walked around the tent. Alex was not in particularly good spirits. Lian Bisheng took him to sleep in the tent assigned by Wen Dongyang early, while the rest of the people Observed separately at the patrol team.
According to Yan Rong, the members of this patrol team are quite strong. Yong Erlang is about the middle level, and Wen Dongyang is even more bottomless. If she accepted some strengthening methods in this scene, she might be able to fight, but she can't do it now.
The rest of the people in the camp did not move towards the patrol. Lu Ning could only understand the chaos of the chaotic scene from the members of the patrol - the weapons on these people were very different in shape, and they looked like different types of weapons. The equipment that appears in the style of the movie is mixed together, but it has a strange sense of coordination in the already chaotic environment.
After walking around, Lu Ning and Yan Rong went to rest in the tent together. Given an opportunity to go to the outer city, she would definitely go there even if there were no additional conditions, not to mention there was still a chance to complete the mission?
A dreamless night.
When the sky got a little brighter the next day, Lu Ning, Yan Rong and Zhu Qinyuan got up. When they arrived at Wen Dongyang's tent, he was already standing at the door, wearing a short jacket over yesterday's leather armor. Cloak also brought his own weapons - a pair of Wu hooks and a pair of black and white pistols.
Yuan Jie was already waiting nearby. Everyone greeted each other, and Wen Dongyang also smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Wen, can I ask how we get to the outer city?" Zhu Qinyuan asked.
"We will take a carriage." Wen Dongyang said, "But it takes about three hours to walk from here to the inn. There may be some dangers on the way. I won't do anything. It all depends on your ability."
"Danger refers to the wandering butcher?" Yan Rong asked.
"Including but not limited to." Wen Dongyang laughed, "There are many more dangers in the wasteland, and sometimes butchers are not the most terrifying enemies."
After waiting for about two minutes, Jean, Lian Bisheng and Alex also came over. Except for Lian Bisheng who looked sleepy, the others were all very energetic at this moment.
"Okay, let's set off. Don't be so nervous, this is just a test."
After that, Wen Dongyang led everyone out of the camp, chose a direction and started on their way.
That's really "on the road".
The patrol leader immediately started running across the wasteland at a speed similar to Lu Ning's running speed when he activated his light body. At such a speed, not to mention dealing with monsters that may be attracted, just keeping up requires all one's strength. The difference in everyone's running speed immediately became apparent. The two agile types, Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan, were closely connected. Following Wen Dongyang's footsteps, Yan Rong and Rang were slightly behind, and Yuan Jie was further behind. Lian Bisheng and Alex had to run until they were out of breath to avoid falling behind.
"Mr. Wen! We don't need to run so fast, right?" Yan Rong shouted.
"Speed can help us get rid of a lot of unnecessary troubles. I think you don't like to be dragged into the battle. If we are lucky, we can run all the way to the inn." Wen Dongyang turned around and said, "If you need to go slower, that's fine."
"At least it won't be so hard to chase after him." Zhu Qinyuan said.
Wen Dongyang smiled and slowed down, and the distance finally began to shorten.
Walking through the wasteland, you can see many ruins of ruins and buildings. These things prove that at least there were people living in the wasteland not too long ago, and then it became like this.
But as Wen Dongyang said, problems will arise when the speed slows down.
When everyone crossed a high slope, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the surrounding grass, and a group of little ghosts rushed out of the grass. Such a sudden attack could not help too many people. Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan knocked all the imps to the ground. They quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated. But the difference this time was that the places where the imps dispersed were still left behind. A white ball-shaped object appeared.
"Stay away!"
Yan Rong probed with his spear and flew the nearest spherical object. There was only a cracking sound in the air, and a long gray-black creature jumped out of the spherical object and bit Zhu Qinyuan. Zhu Qinyuan drew his sword and slashed, but heard a sound like gold and iron clashing. The creature was smashed open, but not cut off.
At the same time, the other spherical objects also cracked open, and the same creatures rushed out of them. Lu Ning had already seen that it was a strange insect with a body like a centipede and many legs, but its head was split into four parts and it was full of sharp teeth and a big mouth. Their bodies can reflect the color of metallic luster, and judging from the knife just now, the hardness is obviously worthy of this color.
At the same time, several people in the rear were also attacked by imps with strange insect eggs in their bodies. Yan Rong swung his gun and knocked the two imps away, sliding directly down the slope at high speed, and at the same time activated his power increase.
"Hold on for a while!"
She slid down the slope and used the momentum to swing her spear back and hit it hard. With a huge earthquake that shattered the stone, a pile of rocks at the bottom of the slope was smashed open by her gun. A short man wearing a strange head. The man in the smiling mask jumped out from the pile of rocks, shook his head, and a gray hose protruded from the back of his neck, piercing Yan Rong's vest!
"He's a butcher." Wen Dongyang could tell at a glance. He turned sideways to avoid the bite of a strange insect, and watched with interest as the people behind him dealt with the insects in a hurry.
Naturally, Yan Rong would not be hurt by such a sneak attack. He turned around to avoid the stabbing of the hose, and pushed his spear towards the short butcher. At the same time, Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan also activated their weapons. With the ability to become invisible, he broke away from the insect swarm and rushed down the hillside. Letting a cyan light shield stop all the bugs, his sword and shield now became very convenient insect-repelling weapons. It was easier to deal with it alone.
This butcher is not as strong as the previous one.
Perhaps because part of the strength was given to the bug, the butcher was actually suppressed by Yan Rong alone. Neither the hose behind his back nor the knife and powder he took out later were able to threaten Yan Rong, who was armed with weapons. Even the eggs that were finally thrown out were all thrown back to it by Yan Rong like a baseball, and he also gave it a hard blow on the chest.
Amidst the black smoke, the butcher quickly entered a state of madness. At this moment, Jean shouted from the hillside: "Be careful of the bugs! It has recalled all those bugs!"
As soon as the words fell, with the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart, the butcher's head instantly opened and split into four pieces. Sharp teeth filled the inside of its head. Then the head struggled to pull out the cervical vertebrae from the body, and the ribs were like the ribs of an insect. The legs were constantly squirming, and this rib was much longer than expected. It even made people wonder how it was stuffed into that short body.
Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan were unsure whether to attack or not, but there was a gunshot from above. The strange insect being pulled out from the body immediately burst into flames, and Alex shouted: "Weakness fire!"
fire? However, no one has this simple condition yet. The basic equipment provided by Lu Ning and others at the distribution center does not have fire attributes.
At this moment, gunfire came again, this time it was a series of continuous, roaring gunfire, and the butcher's head immediately exploded into a large ball of blood, and several large holes were pierced through the squirming bones. , the black mist began to disperse from the shattered limbs, and Wen Dongyang, who was shooting, continued to hold up the black and white guns and completely beat the butcher's torso to pieces.
"...Mr. Wen, remember you said you wouldn't help before we set off." Yan Rong raised his head and looked up the slope.
"We don't have so much time to waste on a butcher blocking the road." After Wen Dongyang shot the butcher alive, he turned his hands and put the gun back to his waist. Black smoke lingered around him for a while, but it did not damage the stitches on his face. What effect does it have? This situation also made Lu Ning remember it in her heart.
"You have the final say." Yan Rong said calmly.
Lu Ning possessed herself and picked up what the butcher had dropped. After the main body died, the insects also turned into black mist. The butcher was indeed not strong, but without Wen Dongyang's help, it would take a lot of effort to kill the main body.
After taking a short rest, Wen Dongyang picked up the speed again. This time no one complained anymore, they only tried their best to keep up. Finally, after more than three hours, they arrived at the place called the inn.
This is a huge courtyard with no one inside. There are only steel "carriages" neatly arranged along the wall. In front of the car is a mechanical behemoth made of the same metal. The outer walls of all the cars are painted with a Coat of arms of "Dacapo".
"Well... this is the one." Wen Dongyang checked the scratches on the mechanical beast and chose a car.
"Are these carriages leading to different outer city areas?" Lu Ning asked.
"Yes, the number of scratches corresponds to which outer city area you will be sent to. The three scratches are where we are going."
"What are the requirements for riding a carriage?" Zhu Qinyuan also asked a question.
Wen Dongyang smiled: "This is specially prepared by the noble Dacapo for the convenience of people in the wasteland. There is no need to pay anything. Of course, because it is free, the speed is relatively slow. It takes about half an hour to get to the outer city here. If it is If you take the train, you can get there in five minutes.”
Lian Bisheng walked to the mechanical behemoths and studied them, but no matter how he touched them, these behemoths did not respond.
"It needs to be started in the car." Wen Dongyang lifted the car curtain and said, "Ladies first."
After everyone got on the carriage, Wen Dongyang pressed a button on the inside of the carriage. There was a mechanical roar outside, as if several gears were rotating at high speed, and then there was an inertial effect like flying on an airplane that pressed everyone tightly onto the seats of the carriage. Lu Ning sat closer to the window, reached out and opened the metal window panel, and found that she had indeed flown into the sky. The scenery outside was blurry, and if she looked down, she could see the vast wilderness.
This kind of aircraft is really a rare experience.
Except for the a bit harsh sound of the gears in the front, the riding experience of the carriage is quite comfortable. It seems that there is no influence of low air pressure and temperature drop at high altitude. Even through the curtain and the outside, it is still the same. Everyone also gathered at the window to look out at the scene below, including Alex.
He didn't know there was an inn here before. The distance he had traveled through the wasteland was already too far away from the range of the bonfire.
Half an hour later, a huge black city appeared below. The carriage fell from the sky and entered another parking area of the carriage with a clang. Such a rough landing method really shocked everyone. Even Yuan Jie was not careful. Hit my head.
"Get off the car." Wen Dongyang turned over and jumped out.
Lu Ning followed and got out of the car. The last thing she saw from the sky was thick smoke, factories and various special buildings, which was quite consistent with the chaotic style of the chaotic scene. And when you get out of the car and step on the dark metal floor tiles, this feeling becomes even more obvious.
There is an obvious smell of pollution in the air, and some thick smoke columns can be seen rising in the sky. The houses are all built like illegal buildings, with side-by-side pipes running through the gaps between these houses, like the city's The blood vessels, including the temperature, are much higher than in the wasteland.
"Follow me. You will have time to see the outer city and the place where you were born." Wen Dongyang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and continued to lead the way.
After passing through dark alleys and crooked roads, everyone came to the gate of a giant Western-style academic building. Five people dressed in weird clothes stood at the door.
"Oh..." Wen Dongyang murmured dissatisfiedly.
"Eh? Isn't this Captain Wen of Anvil?" The five people at the door had heard the sound of someone approaching and turned around. One of them immediately shouted out "joyfully".
The person who spoke was a young girl. Her skin and hair were snow-white. She wore a pink mushroom hat on her head, and her blue eyes looked at everyone with interest. Lu Ning noticed that about ten gun barrels of different calibers were protruding from under the burqa that covered the upper half of her body. There were red and black stains on her white pants and boots, which were obviously nothing. Ordinary stains.
"Dorothy, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Wen Dongyang said, and then looked at the most normal man next to him, "Lan Tu, the reward this time..."
The man named Lan Tu was wearing a dark blue suit. He was holding a Fangtian painted halberd in one hand and a robotic arm in the other. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with his finger, put it in his mouth, and lit it. nod.
"It's a numerical mission. Each team needs at least ten people. But before anything else, this is also the consistent virtue of nobles. Do you want to try it too?"
"After all, we can't feed a lot of people just by killing butchers." Wen Dongyang shook his head, "These are the only people you have left in Mercury Trigger?"
"Ah, that's right, we are not Heike. Each person only has one life. If he dies, he will be reimbursed directly." Lan Tu exhaled a puff of smoke, "I can accept it if we cooperate with you. After all, you can die and reduce the number of people." Take some risk.”
This person spoke so directly, which made Lu Ning and others feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's okay. It's more secure to cooperate with acquaintances than with strangers." Wen Dongyang nodded, "But I'm a newcomer. You'd better not think of using them as cannon fodder. The number of new black carvings in the wasteland is limited now. , we don’t want to reduce our staff casually.”
"Understood." Lan Tu said in a slightly longer tone, "But if we are in danger of death, please risk your life to save us. We will repay you well afterwards."
