Qiu Yu didn't know how many bullets the world's largest assault rifle could hold in a box, and it was impossible for a woman to know how many bullets this futuristic assault rifle had. But she didn't seem to worry about this at all. Facing the angry beast that was less than two meters away from her, she laughed with a harsh sound like an insect eating a wooden board while shooting the right leg of the beastly mutant. break.
The beastly mutant who lost his center of gravity and fell down could reach the woman and tear her to pieces as long as he stretched out his hand. Thinking like this, the beastly mutant stretched his arm towards the woman, but the movement did not make him feel like he was holding something. After a moment of surprise, he realized that his arm was gone.
Relying on the ground with his remaining left foot, he could quickly reach the woman, and even bite her with his teeth, which would be enough to kill her.
But the mutated lycanthrope failed again. The woman just laughed and took a few steps back, offsetting his hard crawling.
Several more bullets whizzed in, and the left leg, the only hope for revenge, left the broken body in a splatter of blood and flesh.
Roar--
Roaring is the last thing a beast-turned-mutant can do.
The woman's smile became more and more exaggerated, and she turned the muzzle of her gun to find parts of the beastly mutant that could still be used for her pleasure.
"enough."
The two words Qiu Yu spat out made the woman's laughter stop abruptly.
"kill him."
The woman seemed to have just escaped from a strange state of mind control and was controlled by another stronger mind. She immediately followed Qiu Yu's order. After a few shots, the pain of the beastly mutant finally came to an end.
"I just... seemed to have lost control. Maybe I was too nervous. I unconsciously put him together with the beastly mutant who killed my companion before. I am not the kind of person who takes pleasure in killing."
The woman explained in a panic. Regardless of the disgusting state just now or the waste of too many precious bullets, it was necessary to give Qiu Yu a reasonable explanation.
Qiu Yu walked over with an expressionless expression, and took back the assault rifle from her subconscious grip, then immediately relaxed her hand, "Is this really the case?"
The woman opened her mouth, but did not make a sound, and Qiu Yu did not expect her answer. After taking the gun, he walked towards Coulun who was supported by Jack.
"How about it?"
From the outside, Coulomb had no external injuries.
"I lost a lot of strength when I rolled on the ground just now. I probably broke two bones. There are no other major problems."
Coulomb helped Jack stand up. He didn't want people to feel like he was a burden because of his current injury. In this era, burden is often synonymous with abandonment.
Qiu Yu turned around and rummaged through the big bag for a while, then took out two capsules and handed them to Coulomb, "This can make your problem smaller."
Knowing that Qiu Yu had all good things in his hands, Coulun chewed the capsule and swallowed it.
After a few seconds, Coulomb patted his chest gently and said, "Oh, it's really much better."
Qiu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, even the effect of the elixir was not that fast. Coulun said this because he hoped that he would not take his injury too seriously.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go get the reward."
Qiu Yu looked at the woman who was still in a daze, and the latter immediately started to move quickly like a mouse being stared at by a cat. First, he took a few steps towards the RV, then retreated in panic. After taking back the bent iron rod from the severed hand of the lycanthropic mutant, he ran towards the RV again.
Qiu Yu raised the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to smile, but she didn't laugh. "It seems like she doesn't want us to go there."
Jack shook his head, "That woman is too dangerous. If she doesn't want us to go there, we'd better stay here and wait for her to get her things."
"Hmph, looking at those methods, you are worthy of being a vagabond." Coulun bared his teeth and said, "You can kill people so happily."
"It's not her that's dangerous, but the things in her body..." Seeing the two of them staring closely at him, Qiu Yu took a deep breath of air that made his lungs hot, "Do you think homeless people are addicted to..." He is murderous and can no longer be considered a normal human being?"
Jack said disdainfully, "They didn't ask for this. They are neither willing to join the settlement nor the organization. They are wandering around. Besides killing and robbing, how else can they support themselves?"
"It seems that even your scientists are not omnipotent. It's not that the homeless are unwilling to join the settlement because they like to kill people everywhere, but because they can't join the settlement and all they can do is kill people everywhere."
"What's the meaning?"
Just when the two of them were expecting Qiu Yu to answer this question that had completely aroused their curiosity, Qiu Yu turned his head in the direction of the RV, where a woman who was worried that several people were waiting for her was running over quickly.
"for you."
After the woman handed a book to Qiu Yu, she pulled the shopping cart over and placed the things she had agreed upon before in front of several people one by one. "The bullets in this shotgun are full, and the things on the map are People who can write record it, but I can’t understand it. So... thank you very much for your help. The RV is quite disgusting now and I won’t invite you in to rest... If there is nothing else..."
"Okay, that's the end of our employment relationship. I hope you have a good time." Qiu Yu nodded to the woman gentlemanly and didn't look at her again.
After getting the desired result, the woman pulled up the shopping cart and ran to the RV without looking back.
Looking at the woman's fleeing back, Jack always felt that something was wrong, but compared to this little doubt, he had a question he wanted to know more, "You just said that homeless people cannot join the settlement. What do you mean? ?”
Qiu Yu flipped through the book with hundreds of pages in his hand. This was what the woman called the map. To be precise, it was an American road travel manual. In addition to printed fonts, there were also various pens on it. The circled locations and line-by-line comments include the activity locations of various mutated animals, brief descriptions of weaknesses, preferences, strength, and whether they are edible, as well as the number of people, specialties, technical capabilities, and other information of each settlement and organization. Quite an interesting note. This book far exceeded Qiuyu's previous expectations. After flipping through a few pages in fascination, he continued to flip through it while answering Jack's questions.
"I don't know how you can formulate the basis for classifying mutants or non-mutated people in this era when everyone is mutating. But I think you only pay attention to the mutations that are visible in appearance or in effect, but you ignore it. For those more recessive mutations, perhaps the people with these mutations don't even notice it themselves."
Qiu Yu finally found the place marked Bergondo, which was described in the original map as a seaside town with beautiful scenery suitable for leisure supplies, but the handwritten part said, "This is a fucking human trafficking Organization, I almost fell into their hands just by getting closer. It’s very dangerous. Don’t wander around here. Added note: If you are so hungry that you can’t find anything to fill your stomach, going here is a good choice, at least When they see homeless people, they first use the rope and then the gun.”
Qiu Yu continued to flip back, "That woman, if she didn't say it herself, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and the people in ordinary settlements."
Jack, who was waiting like crazy, was afraid that he would be left out in the day if he answered too late, so he gave the answer without thinking, "There is a behavioral difference between homeless people and us, but of course there is no difference in appearance."
"Yes, there is no difference between them and you in appearance. The biggest difference is internally. From what she said, the homeless people in their team cannot grow because they don't kill people. I was thinking that this is so illogical. Does it seem to them that Do vagrants have to kill people to be considered vagrants? In history, human beings have always killed each other as a process and not as a destination. Why do vagrants appear in this era who use killing as a criterion?"
Jack and Coulomb said at the same time, "Why?"
Qiu Yu sighed and began to miss the fat man who was so transparent. "Because their thinking or brains may have been affected by radiation, and there have been some mutations in some aspects, maybe there is something wrong with the part responsible for hallucinations, or there is something wrong with the rational part. So they kill people and are unreasonable. They have no control over variation in their behavior.”
"If these people stay in settlements or some organizations and suddenly kill someone because they can't control themselves, others won't care whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally. Most of them will kill first. So in order to protect the lives of others and themselves at the same time It is safe, and homeless people can only wander outside. The homeless team that woman once joined was probably a group of people who realized that they had problems, but were still within the controllable range. In addition, they could only treat each other carefully. They reluctantly gathered together. And those homeless people who could no longer control themselves seemed too dangerous compared with them. For the same reason that they did not dare to stay in the settlement, those homeless people with greater brain mutations did not dare to join. In a team composed of people who still cannot understand themselves. Just like people who are slightly injured, people who are seriously injured, and people who are dying, they all have the most suitable place for them to stay. "
"You knew this a long time ago, but..." Jack glanced at the RV and it seemed like there was a ferocious beast that could jump out and eat people at any time. "But if you had known this earlier, you would never have walked with her. .”
"Well...I just found out about it..."
"but……"
"After a little analysis, it's very simple."
"Can……"
"Yes, I just gave her the gun to see if it was as I analyzed."
"No……"
"Of course I wouldn't take such a big risk just to get a sure answer. I gave her the gun because I couldn't do it."
Jack, "...why do you know what I want to say every time?"
Qiu Yu raised his head from the map in front of him, then pointed to a place circled in red pen and said to Jieyi, "Settlement No. 16 has a population of about three thousand and an unknown armed force. As long as you can pay a certain amount, even if It’s possible to get temporary residency without joining them… Is this where we’re going?”
