Two days later, Chen Xing took Big Cat to the burial site and dug out the equipment of the two punks.
There were quite a lot of messy things, but Chen Xing's load was limited, so he only took away some of the most valuable items last time. There are two pistols, one M1911 and one Glock18. The former has a bullet capacity of 12 and is reasonably powerful, while the latter has a bullet capacity of 20 and can provide three-round burst fire and is less powerful. One Mitsubishi stabber, two multifunctional combat daggers, and hundreds of rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition, all of which were given to the big cat.
What remained were military rations and some protective gear. The military rations were put away. Due to their different body shapes, Chen Xing and Da Mao couldn't use the protective gear, so they had to put it back and bury it again.
Da Mao put on the Mitsubishi Thorn, returned the sheathed knife to Chen Xing, and asked, "Where to go next?"
Chen Xing tied up the sheathed sword and asked, "Where did you go last time? Is there any chance to get the equipment back?"
"It's hard to get things back in District 15. There are at least five zombies there." The big cat answered.
"Forget it." Chen Xing quickly gave up the idea. The last time they explored the underground survival shelter, they encountered a corpse nightmare and couldn't kill it. In the end, they relied on the third uncle's magic-breaking sun gun to kill him. Lose. It’s difficult to deal with even one, let alone five. He then asked, “You’ve been here longer than me. Do you have any suggestions?”
"Hmm..." Big Cat thought for a while and said, "I think we should go to District 15. It used to be an underground city and you can find a lot of good things."
The area is divided in a spiral shape, with District 15 and District 27 bordering each other. It’s not too far away and can be reached by walking in seven or eight days. However, there is no safe house in the area before number 20, and the rations must meet the needs of going back and forth. Chen Xing himself had an eight-day supply, plus the twenty-day supply for the two punks, as well as the portion purchased at the safety store, which was enough for two people to eat for more than half a month.
"Then let's go and have a look." After a brief thought, Chen Xing agreed to Big Cat's proposal. Then I took out the map, discussed the route, and then packed up and set off towards District 15.
From a macro perspective, the outline of the Black Death Continent is an irregular rectangle, with 49 areas spirally distributed, which can be roughly divided into three circles, commonly known as the "outer circle", "middle circle" and "inner circle". Numbers 20 to 49 are the outer ring, numbers 19 to 5 are the middle ring, and numbers 4 to 1 are the inner ring.
There is also a pure black area in the middle of the inner circle, which is not numbered and is called the "zero area".
The Zero Zone was the place where the undercurrent of time and space burst into the red earth world. It was filled with a large amount of unstable space debris. It was also the location where nuclear bombs were most densely dropped. The radiation concentration was extremely high. It was a Jedi place that even the legendary strong men were unwilling to set foot on easily.
Although some expedition teams have gone in and successfully crossed, very few people have survived. For the exiles, Zone Zero is a restricted area, and no one will be dissatisfied with their longevity.
After walking in the wilderness for three days, a black water river appeared in front of us. The river was as dark as ink, and the riverside was covered with black bushes. The big cat got a wooden stick from nowhere and tied the dagger to it to act as a machete to open the way.
"We are almost reaching the mountainous area." The big cat split the bushes and walked to the river, looking at the other side and said.
The distant horizon is rugged and the outlines of mountains are faintly visible.
"Can this water be drunk?" Chen Xing scooped up a cup of water with a marching cup, which was full of mud.
"It settles overnight, and it's guaranteed to be cleaner than pure water." After the big cat finished speaking, he dug a pit by the river with a marching shovel, then filled the pit with water in plastic bags.
The next morning, the water in the puddle became crystal clear. The two filled the water bottles, wiped their bodies with the remaining water, then tied their feet with cloth strips, rolled up their trousers, and waded across the river with their shoes.
On the fifth day, the two finally entered the mountains. Wherever you look, the mountain is cracked and jagged, as if it has been struck by a ghostly axe, creating a desolate and sad scene.
"Quack, quack!"
While climbing up a rocky mountain, a hoarse and unpleasant crow call suddenly came from overhead.
When he looked up, he saw that it was not a crow, but a strange bird with no name.
It was so big that the sky darkened as it flew by. It is said to be a bird, but it is actually more like a fish. Its body is like a square kite, with two long, streamer-like tails trailing behind it.
"What is that? I've never seen it before." Chen Xing squatted between two rocks and asked in the direction of the strange bird.
"The three-habiting manta ray must have come from the sea." The big cat hid behind a stone and stuck its head out to say. After thinking about it, he added, "I heard its meat is delicious."
"Then let's give it a try..." Chen Xing said as he took off the sniper rifle, pulled the bolt to load it, aimed at the manta ray, and launched a charged shot.
"Bang!"
The manta ray's body flashed with blue light, slowly turned its head, and flew this way. Its movements are slow and its reactions are sluggish, but it has a psychic shield. Chen Xing fired several shots, but failed to penetrate its defense.
Seconds later, the manta ray swooped down. The two of them felt the strong wind blowing against their faces and quickly dispersed left and right.
With a "crash" sound, the stone was knocked away by the stingray and rolled down the mountain.
Chen Xing turned around and fired. Anyway, he had many bullets and was not afraid of wasting them. The big cat also fired, causing the manta ray to flash with blue light. After consuming several boxes of ammunition, the manta ray's defense was finally broken. Chen Xing's "Night Owl" spit out tongues of fire, and a blue light penetrated the fins. The manta ray screamed in pain, turned around and fled.
"Chase!"
Chen Xing ran and shot at the same time, making the manta ray scream in agony. But this thing is so durable that I haven't been able to defeat it even after chasing it for more than ten minutes.
When climbing up another stone mountain, two large centipedes suddenly crawled out of the cracks in the stone. The basin is thick and several meters long, winding and crawling on the mountain wall with menacing force. Chen Xing had no choice but to turn his gun and shoot the centipede's red head. The big cat caught up from behind and shot the second one. By this time, the manta ray had flown far away and turned into a small black dot in the sky.
Chen Xing quickly took aim with his gun, concentrated his energy, and launched the trio. The bullet in the gun chamber burst into a blinding blue light.
"kill you!"
The next second, the firing pin slammed on the primer, and the bullet burst out. A huge force came from his shoulders, and Chen Xing couldn't help but take a step back.
A blue light broke through the air and penetrated the body of the manta ray. The manta ray let out its last scream and spiraled down to the ground.
The two of them chased after each other and found their prey in a hilly area. The manta ray weighed several hundred kilograms. The two of them grabbed its long tail and worked together to drag it to the open space.
Big Cat used Mitsubishi thorns to dig out the crystal core from the fish head, which was about the size of an egg and sea blue, and gave it to Chen Xing to collect.
"I heard that fish fins and fish bubbles are the most delicious, and the belly meat is also good." "How to make it?" "Smoking or grilling will do."
Next, the two divided the labor and cooperated. Chen Xing looked for firewood and Da Mao was responsible for decomposing it. After a busy night, the two of them not only had a hearty meal, but also added several kilograms of smoked fish pieces.
On the eighth day, the two saw a ruined city on the top of the mountain.
Looking from a distance, the collapsed buildings are very dense, stretching for dozens of kilometers, with no end in sight. It is not difficult to imagine the prosperity back then.
Chen Xing thought of the historical materials he had read in his previous life. If he guessed correctly, the ruins in front of him were Wangchuan, the second largest city in Xiaodongzhou. According to the above records, there are 200 million people living in Wangchuan. Half of the buildings are above ground and half are underground. It is a veritable underground city.
During the Cataclysm, residents hid underground, leaving the surface to mutated creatures. Until finally, overpopulation and a broken food supply pushed them into desperation.
"I heard from my former teammates that someone opened a store here called Arakawa Hotel." Big Cat said.
"Open a store here?" Chen Xing was a little surprised, "Isn't it a black store?"
"I don't know, I haven't been there either." The big cat shrugged his shoulders and said, "I heard that the boss is a very good cook and knows which mutant creatures can be eaten and which ones cannot. The previous saying that manta rays are delicious is That teammate told me."
The two of them chatted while going down the mountain. After half a day, they walked out of the mountainous area and entered the River of Forgetfulness.
Looking around, the building is broken in the middle, concrete blocks are piled up in mountains, and the exposed steel bars have long been corroded and will break when touched. The interior of the building was covered with black moss, and it was pitch dark and very penetrating when you looked inside. Chen Xing looked at his watch. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours until dark, so he continued walking forward.
"Goofy..."
I don’t know how long it took, but the earth and rocks under my feet suddenly became loose. Chen Xing stepped back and a human hand came out of the ground, scratching the air.
"Be careful of living corpses." Chen Xing said in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, another hand broke through the soil and grabbed them. The two retreated again and again, climbing up a half-collapsed high-rise building along the outer wall.
The hands on the ground broke through the soil one after another like a chain reaction. In the blink of an eye, the ruins were all over the place, so densely packed that they were like seedlings suddenly uprooted, making one's scalp numb just by looking at them.
"Wow wow wow..."
Indistinct roars continued to sound, and living corpses crawled out of the ground one after another. His skin was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and black blood vessels were crawling all over his body. The top of the head was bald, without a trace of hair.
Mixed in among them are some with a shimmering surface, including red, cyan, dark green, and earthy yellow.
The red one is commonly known as "hard skin", which has great strength and hard skin; the cyan one is commonly known as "corpse monkey", which is fast and sensitive; the dark green one is commonly known as "poison corpse", which can spray venom; the earthy yellow one is commonly known as "running corpse", Can run for a long time.
"You're in charge of the ordinary ones, and I'm in charge of the elites." Chen Xing quickly divided the labor, then raised the "Night Owl" and aimed at the living corpse with a bluish-green skin. Poison zombies can perform long-range attacks and must be shot first.
"Bang!"
The head of a poisonous corpse exploded, thick acid splashed everywhere, and fell on the surrounding living corpses with a hissing sound and a large amount of white smoke.
The big cat squatted on the slope, shooting at the living corpses below. Due to the steep slope, the zombies who were shot fell backwards and rolled into a ball with the zombies crowded behind.
Chen Xing killed two poisonous corpses, and then saw several poisonous corpses facing this way, leaning back.
"Acid spray!"
Chen Xing yelled and ran up quickly. When the big cat heard it, he immediately rolled sideways holding the gun. Immediately afterwards, several jets of dark green water sprayed up. Wherever he went, white smoke billowed and a pungent smell hit his face.
The few living corpses closest to them were sprayed, and their flesh and blood immediately melted away, revealing the dense white bones. .
After dodging a round of attacks, Chen Xing picked up his gun and continued shooting. The big cat stood guard in front, repelling the living corpses that climbed up the outer wall of the building. A tough skin pulled the companion's body and rushed up the slope. Seeing that Big Cat had no time to defend, Chen Xing pulled out the Silver Star and blasted over. Five shots in a row directly exploded the hard-skinned head.
The corpses swarmed forward, and the big cat could no longer stop them. Chen Xing pulled a grenade and threw it over, blowing up the corpses.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the two men were killed until there were piles of corpses below. After resting for a while, cleaning the battlefield and digging out the crystal core, Chen Xing waved to the big cat, "Let's go and look around."
There are living corpses lurking around, meaning the area has not been explored. Due to the nuclear bomb attack, many underground landslides formed independent areas.
