Space-time Traveler Chapter 12: North Star 3
After the Slough Crab Queen was killed, the battle was basically over.
Rebooting started to finish with a group of people, and there was someone nearby with tools and gestures on the ground. Among the crowd was a man with glasses who was recording something with a pen, and from time to time he turned his head to discuss with rebooting. A few sentences.
The casualties in the battle were smaller than anyone expected.
You must know that the mud crab is also a monster in the wasteland world standing on the upper level of the food chain. If a ghoul runs into their territory, it will be eaten, but I did not expect that no one was killed today, that is Several people were injured a little by accident. The biggest credit must be Su Ziyu. If he hadn't killed the mud crab queen, the big guy would basically be a massacre when he rushed in, and ordinary people could be crushed into meat by its huge size.
Others began to clean the battlefield, and some were hacking the tongs of the mud crab with axes.
Basically, they don’t need the bounty for this hunting mission, but they also have their own share of income, that is, the meat of these mud crabs can be worth thousands of bottle caps if they are taken out.
"Thank you this time." Reboot walked over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder.
He beckoned to a person next to him, then handed over a simple map, and said: "I know you want to get a better weapon. Qin Yu has already told me about it. ."
"I entrusted a little relationship and got this stuff."
Rebooting pointed to a gathering place on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Here. You must go north to the North Star."
"This is a special gathering place called the Ghoul Club."
"You go find someone nicknamed'Doctor Ghoul'. He has some weapons in his hand. You must like it."
Speaking of this, reboot lowered his voice and said: "It is said that he has a Gauss sniper rifle in his hand."
"But this guy has a high price."
Doctor Ghoul?
Su Ziyu's expression was a little surprised, but after hearing the Gauss sniper rifle, her heart was moved.
The Gauss sniper rifle is said to be a weapon that uses electromagnetic energy, a kind of magnetic storm technology developed during the Cold War. Many powerful technologies were developed during the Old World period of this plane. It is very, very advanced, and the nuclear energy technology tree is very high at that time. This kind of sniper rifle fires a unique electromagnetic bomb. It takes a few seconds to recharge once it fires. However, its power is quite amazing, and its accuracy is far superior to other firearms. It is completely unnecessary to calculate wind speed, humidity and other external factors.
However, it also has its shortcomings, that is, it can only be used for a single shot, and it takes about 2 seconds to recharge after a shot is fired.
"Thanks." Su Ziyu reached out and took it.
"You are welcome." Reboot laughed and said in a low voice: "When you get there, be careful. The place is a bit weird. Some people like to study ghouls."
"There is a man from Chinatown over there. His nickname is Shan Pao. You can find him in a pub."
"Hmm."
"If he is not dead yet."
"Give him some money, he can help you a lot."
Su Ziyu nodded to show that she knew, and then reached out her hand to pick up her daughter, turned and walked outside with Mattie. These people have already started slaughtering and dissecting the mud crabs. The scene looked a bit bloody, with a large stream of dark blue blood flowing out, and the two little girls would better not stay here to watch.
"Wait!"
"Let's get some crabmeat and roast it!" Matty looked greedy.
She used to be alone in the elk gathering place to beg for a living, and the food she usually eats is certainly not very good. At this moment, seeing the crab meat of the mud crab, she suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Take it." Reboot came over with a crab claw that was more than one meter long and fifty centimeters in diameter.
The heavy weight made Mattie almost missed it, so Su Ziyu reached out and held it up, then lifted it directly. The mud crab queen has a higher degree of radiation pollution, and its meat may need to be processed before it can be eaten. There are two or three people who are cutting with knives. It took several minutes to chop off only a small limb. Someone could not bear it. Resident complained: "Who brought the cutting machine?"
"Who can cut this ghost thing?"
"Are there any axes?"
"Find me a key guy? Fuck! I knew I brought Lao Tzu's chainsaw!"
The entire battle took less than ten minutes, but they packed up the corpses of these mud crabs. It is estimated that they might not be able to finish them tomorrow. Fortunately, rebooting brought freezing tools.
There are cooking things on the side of the convoy.
Suzi fish hadn’t been done much before, but rebooting soon came back, holding a big hammer, first smashed the crab claws a little bit, and then started to make a barbecue. He smiled and said:" I have eaten mud crab cake made by a cook before, and it tastes really good."
"But my grilled spicy crab is also delicious."
A hint of fragrance gradually diffused.
The people working there smelled hungry, and soon each resisted some crab claws and came back to cook. Suddenly, there was a smell of barbecue in the vicinity of the entire convoy.
"It is estimated that I will be busy until tomorrow." Rebooting said while grilling crab claws: "If you are in a hurry, you can drive that car directly."
"That is my car."
"There are three barrels of gasoline in the trunk, which should be enough for you to use Polaris."
"There are also foods to eat."
"But you may have to add a little bit on the way."
This great monk usually looks carefree, but he is actually very careful. Just looking at this preparation for Su Ziyu, he knew that he had already considered the situation in front of him.
"Here." Reboot opened the crab claws and handed the two pieces of grilled crab meat to Su Ying and Marty next to him. They smiled and said, "Be careful."
"I will let Zhao Ang go back with you in a while."
"Go to the elk camp and get the bounty and you can set off."
Very fragrant and tender.
The taste is more delicious than imagined. The sesame fish has never been so refreshing to eat crabs in this life. Just the upper part of a crab claw is enough for one or two people to eat directly. The two little girls were a bit supportive to eat, and Mattie kept touching her stomach, feeling a little inconvenient to walk.
"Stop eating."
"Let's take some home in a while." Su Ziyu's gaze had a hint of pity.
It's really not easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to survive in the Wasteland Era by herself. It's been a long time since she has eaten like this.
"Take it back? Then I'll pick some big ones." Mattie stood up happily.
She just left.
The little girl came to Su Ziyu's ear and whispered: "Dad. Can we take Mattie to the North Star?"
"She is also alone here."
Yeah.
Su Ziyu heard the words and thought for a while and said: "Will she be willing to go? Our trip to Polaris this time is not safer than staying in the elk camp."
"Yes." The little girl nodded with certainty: "I will tell her on the way."
Alright.
If Mattie is willing to go together, Su Ziyu feels that she can also take it. Anyway, she stays in the elk camp alone. After Su Ziyu is gone, it is estimated that it will not be easy for her to ask for a living.
Time passes bit by bit.
After dinner, Su Ziyu shook hands with reboot, and then drove a car with Xiaoyao and Marty back to the elk camp. Zhao Ang took a man and drove another car, and waited until It was midnight when they returned.
Max's tavern is still lit.
Su Ziyu's process of getting the bounty went smoothly. After realizing that the two little girls were a little sleepy, he took them to the Chinese district to rest.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, Su Ziyu saw the two little girls who had packed their things. He asked someone to buy some food, and then drove off directly to the place called the Ghoul Club. When he set out, Zhao Ang also drove out with a few people. Their destination was the gathering place of Chinatown. This time the water plant was going to be opened and it would be necessary for people there to provide some material assistance.
The performance of the reboot-modified off-road vehicle is good. Su Ziyu drove well. The two girls behind were whispering. They were a little sleepy after talking for a while. They slept together.
There is an extremely desolate sight all around.
Occasionally there will be some ruins on the road, all of which are the ruins of old towns. Basically all the resources that can be scraped have been taken away, and now only empty shells are left.
It takes more than a day to drive from here to the Ghoul Club. If there are no problems on the road, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to get to the North Star.
At the same time.
In a bay surrounded by mist, there was a sudden explosion on a lonely island.
Boom.
After the dull sound of the explosion, five or six fighters wearing exoskeleton armor retreated from the fog, and fired as they retreated. Something was faintly visible in the burst of fire. Those were huge monsters with strange tentacles.
"Damn it!"
"My exoskeleton armor is almost out of energy." One of the fighters took off his helmet, turned his head and said: "Boss! Is there a nuclear fusion battery?"
At this time, a calm male voice came and said, "Go back to the island first."
"Those monsters are still nearby."
The team quickly retreated to the island.
There is a huge ruin inside the island, which seems to be a long-abandoned military base. There are some newly dug graves beside it. When a group of people pass by here, their expressions are a little sad.
"Leon."
"Did the distress signal really go out?" A slightly hoarse female voice came. Then she took off her helmet and revealed a mature and beautiful face. She looked very tired and slowly said: "Brother Why hasn't the rescue of the meeting come yet?"
"Our supplies will not last long."
The man walking in the front also took off his helmet. He turned his head and said solemnly: "Pasha. Trust me."
"The distress signal must have been sent."
"The materials can still support another week. There is an abandoned aircraft carrier nearby. I will take someone to take a look at it in two days. Maybe I can find some resources."
A dilapidated building appeared in front of him.
When the group of people returned here, they immediately heard the painful screams from inside. Leon's face changed almost instantly, and he rushed in and reached out and held down a crazy-looking man. Shouted: "Bernie, calm down!"
"Don't pay attention to those weird sounds!"
"Look at me."
"Concentrate!"
In this dilapidated house, a burly man is full of pain. He pinches his neck, his entire face is flushed, and his mind seems to be chaotic.
"He has been contaminated by those ghosts."
Pasha watched all this in silence, then drew out the pistol from her waist, and slowly said: "Let him have a good time."
Leon waved off her pistol, her eyes were slightly red, glaring at Pasha next to her, then turned around and knocked the painful man fainted.
"We are running out of supplies."
"He is no longer saved." Another low male voice came. A burly man walked to the corner and fiddled with his gun, slowly saying: "His final result must be the same as others."
"We can only live if we leave this ghost place."
A brief dead silence.
The man who had just been knocked out by Leon suddenly opened his eyes again. His entire pupils were glowing with blood, his expression was a bit distorted and hideous, and his face had a lot of blue blood vessels, just like a living corpse he had seen before. Like a ghost, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Leon's head.
Boom.
A gunshot sounded.
Leon slowly put down his pistol, was silent, turned around and entered one of the rooms.
Boom boom boom.
There was a venting sound of smashing in the room.
Pasha watched all this quietly, then opened the door and entered another room. There were seven or eight exoskeleton-powered armors in this room, but the nuclear fusion battery was removed. There are some mottled blood stains in the corner of the room, and it has been a long time since no one has cleaned it.
"I must live."
"Sakura is still waiting for me to go back!...I must get out alive!..." Pasha's expression seemed to be a little bit painful, she muttered, clutching her head.
A tiny trace of cyan blood vessels appeared under her neck. Pasha turned around and took out an injection, which was directly inserted into the neck and injected. After about five or six minutes, her expression gradually calmed down. Come down.
The heavy exoskeleton power armor was removed, and Pasha sat on the edge of the bed tiredly, and reached out a heart-shaped pendant.
Inside is a photo of Su Ying, younger, probably taken when she was seven or eight years old.
The little girl smiled brightly, like a little angel descending on the world.
Pasha stared at the photo for a while, then got up and took off her combat uniform. A pair of white bionic arms were exposed. Unlike those rough mechanical prostheses, Pasha's gradually exposed body was almost normal. Human beings are exactly the same, even the joints of the fingers look the same, but under the flesh-colored bionic skin, the bones are all replaced with extremely hard alloys.
The entire team of six to seventy people, only five are left alive now, almost all of them have undergone a certain degree of bionic transformation.
The others are all dead.
