Chen Xing turned the accelerator to the maximum and rushed north.
In the wilderness, in "Zone Zero" without satellite coverage, there are no laws at all. People who used to be nice and talkative in the town turned out to be ferocious beasts when they went outside.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart and unable to scan, Chen Xing could conclude that there must be more than one person in the car. With his current strength and equipment, he simply couldn't defeat them.
"Woo..."
Amidst the hum of the engine, the speedometer needle entered the red zone. Ninety kilometers per hour was already the highest speed in the wilderness. But after running for more than ten minutes, turning left and right, he still couldn't get rid of his pursuer.
Compared with two-wheeled motorcycles, four-wheeled dune buggies are faster, but they are far less flexible than motorcycles, and there is also a gap in off-road capabilities. There are many roads that a motorcycle can travel that a dune vehicle may not be able to travel on.
As soon as it reaches an open area, the dune buggy will quickly approach, and once it reaches the climb and bend, it will slow down again. Under the circumstances, neither side could do anything to the other, keeping a distance of three to four hundred meters and chasing after each other.
Chen Xing kept driving north. After about thirty kilometers, the road ahead became increasingly difficult. There were many gravels of different sizes on the ground, and the motorcycle was stumbling. But the dune buggy behind him still pursued him relentlessly, making him curse secretly.
To the north of Orchid Town is the outskirts of the human-controlled area, deep in the wilderness. In Chen Xing's memory, there will be a large stone mountain ahead, and the terrain will become increasingly complex. Once there, the advantages of locomotives will be even more obvious.
More than an hour later, the terrain began to climb upwards, and the speed of both sides slowed down a lot, with only about 40 to 50 kilometers left.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Suddenly, there was the scream of bullets piercing the air, and then the loud sound of gunshots.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
Chen Xing quickly lowered his body and lay half on the motorcycle. It could be heard from the gunshots that the opponent was using an AK47, and at least three guns were firing at the same time.
It seems that the other party also knew that after entering the mountainous area, he would follow him and he couldn't wait to shoot. Fortunately, the effective range of the Ak47 is only two hundred meters. Although it is still lethal at more than one thousand meters, the shooting accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The distance between the two sides was three to four hundred meters, and it was just a small black dot to the naked eye. It was still a bit difficult to hit him. Moreover, both sides are moving at high speed, making it difficult for even a sniper rifle to hit.
Furthermore, bullets are very precious things. Rifle bullets cost about two to three silver coins. It is impossible for the opponent to keep shooting. Sure enough, the opponent stopped shooting after finishing a box of bullets.
Half an hour later, Chen Xing walked around a stone mountain and finally got rid of the opponent. After running forward for more than ten minutes, he drove to the top of the mountain, looked into the distance, and saw no trace of the dune buggy, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He estimated that it was at least seventy or eighty kilometers away from Orchid Town. It is now four o'clock in the afternoon. If we rush back now, we can still arrive before dark.
But when he comes out tomorrow, the other party will follow him again. Moreover, the other party is richer than him, so maybe he can catch up by changing his car. So he couldn't go back and had to spend the night in the wild. He would go to the water station tomorrow, kill all the living corpses on it, and then look for the entrance.
This place is already on the outskirts of the human-controlled area and is very dangerous. On the way here, he saw a lot of wandering corpse dogs and living dead, as well as some groups of homeless people walking in the wilderness. They will eat almost anything, as long as it is alive, it is their food.
He rode on the motorcycle and moved forward slowly. Before nightfall, he must find a hiding spot with a wide view so that he can deal with dangers that may occur at any time.
"Huhuhu..."
In the midst of his thoughts, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind the stone in front of him and rushed towards Chen Xing. The distance between the two was less than five meters.
Chen Xing subconsciously pulled out his pistol, opened the safety catch, and fired.
"Bang!"
The black shadow flew through the air and landed on the ground, struggling endlessly. Chen Xing turned the car around, tightened the accelerator, and rolled over.
"Crack!" The heavy wheels pressed over the corpse dog's head, making a crisp cracking sound.
Looking at the twitching corpse on the ground, Chen Xing couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat. If he hadn't been lucky and hit the target with one shot, he would probably be the one lying on the ground now.
He must collect money as soon as possible to buy a primary evolution potion to activate his natural ability "danger perception". It was precisely because of this ability that he was able to survive all kinds of dangers in his previous life.
Danger perception is also called "soul tentacles" or "grey talent". People with this talent can sense dangers around them and ignore obstacles, which is a very practical ability.
Level 1 danger perception has a range of about fifteen meters. For example, just now, Chen Xing was able to discover the corpse dog hiding behind the stone in advance and respond early. Either run, fight, or set a trap.
Then, Chen Xing continued to explore forward. But this time his speed was much slower, and he tried to avoid any place where he could hide something.
Looking up, there are bare stone mountains everywhere, with jagged gravel and a lonely and desolate scene.
About half an hour later, he found a cave halfway up the mountain. About half a person tall, one meter wide and over two meters deep. Just enough to get in and sit down, leaning against the wall of the cave.
There were some compressed biscuit wrappers and empty tin cans in the hole. It's not hard to tell that someone has been here before. If you look carefully, you can see vague handwriting carved in stone on the wall.
"Yang Zhiche is here for a visit."
"Fuck boy, you'er die!"
“It’s such a lonely night, add my social account 1169765274.”
"Onii-chan, oh haha~"
…
Chen Xing read the messages from different people for a while, cleaned up the garbage, then got out, unloaded water, food and a small kerosene stove from the body, and then blocked the locomotive in the hole. If you encounter danger, you can still resist it.
After settling down, he washed his hands and face with water, then lit the kerosene stove and boiled some hot water to drink. Then I opened a can of meat, added dried vegetable pieces, and cooked it with noodles.
The Northern Wilderness is located north of the Ambergris River and is also the northernmost part of the Red Earth Continent. It's either a wasteland or a rocky place where crops can't be grown. Most of the food comes from the Longshe River Basin. Due to the long distance, fresh vegetables and meat are very expensive, so most people eat canned meat with dried vegetables soaked in water.
After eating, Chen Xing sat at the entrance of the cave, staring at the piles of rocks at the foot of the mountain and the sparse vegetation between the rocks, and became stunned.
I have to say that this location is very good, with a wide view and thousands of views.
Further north here, past the mountains, is the Black Death Forest. The radiation there is still so high that you have to wear protective clothing to enter.
The plants there have undergone comprehensive mutations and are completely different from before the catastrophe. One plant called "black moss" is the most famous. It is precisely because of its existence that radiation is difficult to dissipate. It can absorb and utilize radiation pollution and remain in the cell fluid as a necessary nutrient for survival.
On the surface, it seems that the black moss is absorbing radioactive materials, but in fact, because the radioactive materials contain extremely high energy, the black moss takes a long time to digest. Instead of removing the contamination, it prevented the natural decomposition of radioactive materials.
As time went by, night fell, and the sky was twinkling with stars.
Chen Xing used pull ropes and grenades to set up two explosive traps on both sides of the cave entrance. Once a creature approaches and pulls the thread, the grenades will detonate. Even if the target cannot be exploded, it can still wake him up.
After finishing the arrangement, Chen Xing got back into the cave, blocked it with his motorcycle, then leaned against the cave wall and closed his eyes to rest.
"Ouch..."
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Xing was suddenly awakened by a howl. He quickly climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked out.
Below, black shadows were as fast as the wind, rushing back and forth among the rocks.
Insect turns into wolf!
When this term crossed his mind, Chen Xing could hardly breathe.
The insect-turned-wolf is the real overlord in the wilderness. Its body is covered with a hard insect shell, and its life is extremely powerful. Shooting at close range with an assault rifle and using up a whole magazine of bullets may not kill one.
Even one wolf is not something he can deal with at this stage, not to mention that insect wolves are group animals, with a group of at least hundreds of them.
He subconsciously looked at the motorcycle. The Great Wall Iron Rider, which was traveling at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour, was as slow as a turtle in front of the insect-turned-wolf. You know, an insect-turned-wolf running at full speed can reach 120 kilometers per hour.
If we were in the wilderness, we could barely run, but in this kind of rocky and uneven mountainous terrain, we would be overtaken in the blink of an eye.
The best thing to do right now is to retreat into the cave, hold your breath, and resign yourself to fate.
"Shashasha..." "Huhuhuhu..."
In the darkness, Chen Xing covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, curled up and tried not to make any sound.
The sound of nimble footsteps kept passing by outside, and the sound of breathing was looming, sometimes far and sometimes near, making him frightened.
At least fifty insect-turned wolves ran past nearby, which showed how big the wolf pack was, probably no less than five hundred.
In his mind, the image of being torn apart by wolves emerged uncontrollably. He pulled out the pistol involuntarily and slowly pushed the safety catch. If necessary, he would shoot himself in the temple. It's all about death anyway, so why be so disgraceful. Rather than suffer the pain of being torn apart, it is better to solve it yourself.
"Alas..." He sighed softly. Unexpectedly, after returning from rebirth, I had just made some progress and was about to pass away. It is absolutely impossible to say that I have no regrets.
"Ouch..."
The howling of the alpha wolf sounded again, and the sound of flying footsteps became more and more frequent.
"Roar!"
But at this moment, a roar resounded through the wilderness, causing Chen Xing's ears to buzz and causing him to become deaf for a moment.
He didn't care so much anymore and quickly climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked down the mountain.
I saw a huge figure running towards me thousands of meters away. It was at least a hundred meters high, and one step was more than thirty meters. The feet stepped on the ground, and the gravel collapsed. Wherever it went, it was destroyed and the earth shook.
Corpse King!
Chen Xing was so shocked that his eyes were like bells and his hair stood on end.
The next moment, a tide of insect-turned-wolves swarmed towards the Corpse King.
The latter clasped his hands together, straightened his chest, rounded his arms, and struck at the place where the wolves were most densely packed.
"boom!"
With a dull loud noise, the ground was sunken. Debris flew everywhere and sand and soil flew. The swarming wolves were instantly beaten to pieces. Only a small part ran up the arm to the corpse king's shoulder, biting wildly towards the neck.
"Wow!" The Corpse King raised his head and let out an earth-shattering roar. He grabbed a few of the insect-turned-wolves around his neck, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them, making a crisp sound of bone cracking.
In an instant, the momentum of the wolves dropped sharply, they let out a low whine, and dispersed to both sides, like a divided river.
"Ouch..."
But at this moment, a wolf howl shot straight into the sky, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks. Following the sound, a white light flew down from the distant mountain peak, as fast as a flying rainbow and lightning, heading towards the Corpse King.
