Chapter 359 Fat Sheep
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
After five shots, the remnant wall collapsed. Smoke and dust immediately filled the wall, mixed with a few wailing screams.
As soon as the bullets were fired, Tie Zha retreated a few meters away as he loaded the bullets. In the blink of an eye, three figures rolled out of the dust. They were all dressed in half-leather and half-canvas clothes, their faces covered in blood. Although the explosive bombs did not directly hit their bodies, the high-temperature shrapnel they shot out still left them half dead.
“Surrender! We surrender!” “Spare me! Spare me!” “Don’t kill us!”
When they saw Tie Zha hiding behind a rock with guns in his hands, the three graveyard scavengers quickly knelt on the ground and raised their hands to beg for mercy.
“One.” Tie Zha counted the numbers. When he counted to “two”, the three scavengers got up at the same time and ran in the direction they came from. One of them was extremely fast, his skin emitting a faint glow. He was probably an insecticide with a “pump circuit”.
Tie Zha originally wanted to communicate with them in order to understand the situation nearby, but considering that his condition was too weak to let the other party notice him, he directly chased them away. However, his kindness soon brought about a crisis.
After running for a while, the three of them stopped.
“I’m scared to death.” “What a ruthless person. He attacked without meeting.” The fastest, well-proportioned middle-aged man and the tallest one said.
“He’s injured. He still has a lot of equipment on him.” The skinniest one said.
“Dog nose, how do you judge?” The middle-aged man asked.
“The smell of blood on his body is very strong, very fresh …” Halfway through, the little man scolded, “What dog nose? It’s Wang Die’s sense of smell!”
“A dog’s nose is a dog’s nose. Hurry up and tell me, or I’ll beat you up.” The middle-aged man threatened.
“I can smell it. He has a lot of bullets, anesthetics, and … the smell of a woman …”
“She’s a woman!” The sturdy man exclaimed.
“He’s a man” The little man glanced at the strong man and said, “It’s just that he smells like a female. There should be a woman around him.”
“Fat sheep, you’re injured. There’s ammunition, potions, and women. Hahaha.” The sturdy man laughed foolishly.
“Don’t even think about women. Let’s go find the Scarecrow and sell him this information. According to the rules, we can get 30% of it.” The middle-aged man’s expression darkened as he spoke. The scarecrow was the leader of the refugees in this area and was famous for his brutality and sinister ways.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them nimbly shuttled through the ruins covered in black moss and sprinted all the way to the entrance of a collapsed building. This was a police station before the Great Nuclear War. The ground had collapsed, but the underground parking lot was still intact. This underground space was constructed by three floors. Its structure was extremely stable. The outer layer was made of large blocks of granite, the middle part was reinforced concrete, and the inner layer was still granite. Although it had been for more than 1,700 years, there were not many traces of weathering.
A few years ago, the Scarecrow brought his subordinates to drive away the refugees who lived here and packed them up as their stronghold.
After walking through a small pitch-black tunnel, the three of them arrived at a simple and crude gate.
“Dong dong dong!” The middle-aged man knocked on the door and immediately retreated.
“Creak” With a shrill rub, a round hole opened in the door.
“Who is it?” Inside, he asked in a rough voice.
“We’ve received some news and want to share it with the Scarecrow.” The middle-aged man said calmly.
“What information?” Inside, he asked.
“We will tell the Scarecrow directly.” The middle-aged man said.
A cold snort came from inside, and then a small door was opened to let them in.
“You’d better pray. Your information is useful.” The big man who was guarding the door crossed his chest and stared into the middle-aged man’s eyes, threatening him.
“There’s no need for you to worry.” The middle-aged man replied, then waved his hand and walked in with the strong man and the small man.
Along the way, there were a few dim lamps, and they could barely see many broken bowls, rags, and quilts on the ground. The air was filled with the fragrance of animal fat. The oil used in these lamps was not real lanolin, but kerosene made from the fat of various radiation mutated beasts. Their meat is not edible and can only be used to refine oil. As for clothing made of fur, there was still a trace of radiation that only insecticides dared to wear.
Not long after, the three of them walked out of the tunnel and arrived at an underground space. Looking up, several rays of sunlight shone through the small window above, bringing some light to this pitch-black place. Looking to the left and right, this place is thousands of square meters in size. In the darkness, people sat on the ground in twos and threes, men and women, old and young.
In the middle of the hall, there were several lanterns lit with lanolin. A large stone chair was placed in the middle, covered in animal fur. Amidst the flickering flames, a tall and thin middle-aged man was sitting on a stone chair with his legs crossed. He was hugging a woman in his arms, and there was another woman sitting on the armrest on his left.
“Scarecrow, I have good news for you.” The middle-aged man stepped forward and said.
“Do you know the consequences of your mistake?” The Scarecrow teased the woman in his arms and asked without raising his head.
“I know.” The middle-aged man said calmly. The strong man beside him had been staring at the two women beside the Scarecrow ever since he got close, and he had already fallen into a daze. In the radiation zone of the southern cemetery, women, young and old, beautiful and ugly, were only possessed by powerful people. Of course, there were many beautiful women in the town of the safe zone, but they needed gold coins or atonement coins to open their thighs.
Atonement coins are unique to southern cemeteries, There were usually several ways to obtain it. One was to hunt down the powerful mutated creatures in the high radiation area. The other was to pick up the materials placed in the high radiation area by the Temple and the World Council. The third was to complete various tasks issued by the surface town sheriff, such as hunting down fugitives, gathering certain materials, or going to a certain place to investigate.
In the southern continent, about 9 percent of the land is free of radioactive pollution or light pollution, mainly concentrated in the north of the sewage river, and 23 percent of the land is moderately polluted, mainly concentrated in the south of the sewage river, while the remaining areas are highly polluted.
In high-radiation contaminated areas, the body’s radiation concentration increases by 5% to 10% every day. Even insecticides with “beetle endurance” or “bug regeneration” cannot last long.
Different types of evolvers also had different resistance to radiation. Low-level psionic powers were like ordinary humans, unable to resist radiation erosion. Traditional evolvers had a certain resistance, while insecticides did not have a high resistance. However, even if the radiation concentration in their bodies was too high, their necrotic organs and skin could recover. This was much stronger than other evolvers. As for psionic beings above rank nine, they were completely immune to radiation.
Psionic energy was a companion to the ancient nuclear war. It was essentially a type of radiation, but it was harmless to the human body. Simply put, psionic energy was pure, highly aggregated energy, while radiation was highly aggregated energy filled with impurities. After the outbreak of the Ancient Era’s nuclear war, pure and highly concentrated energy dissipated into the air, and energy filled with impurities accumulated.
Psionic Adepts above rank nine had mastered the ability to materialize the Star Sand, and could break down harmful substances into energy that was beneficial to them, so they were completely immune to radiation. .
After a while, the Scarecrow pushed the woman away and signaled the middle-aged man to continue. Thus, the latter recounted the situation he had just encountered.
“Could it be a supervisor from the west?” The Scarecrow asked worriedly. The so-called watchdog was a special agent that the World Assembly would drop at intervals in the southern cemetery to investigate the local situation. If the “evil organization” was discovered, they would send the Dawn Expeditionary Force or the academy team to clean it up. The definition of evil organizations was very broad. They could be “sprouts of evil cults”, “bloodline chaos”, “moral decay”, and so on. It was almost up to the supervisors.
“Not like” The middle-aged man shook his head and analyzed, “He wears a black tarpaulin uniform and uses a large revolver/pistol. The inspectors are usually standard equipment, and they wear silver radiation-proof suits.”
“The news is correct. You take 30%. The news is wrong. Die!” With that, the Scarecrow stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted, “Brothers, we’ve caught the fat sheep.”
Twenty minutes later, more than 30 men arrived at the place where Tie Zha had just stayed. At this time, Tie Zha was nowhere to be seen, but the traces of blood on the ground were still visible.
“Where is he?” The Scarecrow asked. As he spoke, more than ten spears and short cannons were aimed at the middle-aged man.
“Wait …” The middle-aged man said as he made a gesture to the little man. The latter immediately nodded in understanding, then lay down beside the bloodstains on the ground. Immediately after, two antennae slowly extended out from his forehead, agilely swinging.
After a while, the little man got up and pointed in one direction, saying, “Over there.”
“This dog has a nice nose.” The Scarecrow recognized this insect transformation ability and praised it.
“Scarecrow, don’t forget the rules.” The middle-aged man reminded.
“What’s the use of this damn ability? Can you kill people? Can you do women?” The Scarecrow said disdainfully.
Moments later, under the lead of the little man, everyone arrived at a collapsed building complex.
“He’s nearby.” Said the little man.
“Search!” The Scarecrow waved his hand, and thirty people immediately scattered in all directions, searching for every possible hiding place.
“Ding!”
Suddenly, a crisp sound of metal colliding could be heard. “Boom!” With a loud explosion, two men were blown away at a corner.
At the same time, Tie Zha, who was hiding in a pit more than ten meters away, opened his eyes. He had set up a trap with fragmented grenades in the three paths he had to take to rest for a while. In the end, he was woken up in less than half an hour’s sleep, and his heart was instantly on fire, and his eyes were stained with a layer of red.
All good things come to an end.
Let me officially announce that after two days of consideration, I do not think it is likely that we will be able to get three hundred equal orders. Unfortunately, I feel like I’m about to vomit blood, but I don’t even have three hundred true supporters, not even three hundred brothers.
Therefore, the totem was going to end.
For my sake, I can only say, my friends, I’m sorry, I did my best.
