Chapter 305: One hundred Yuan for a madman
Translator: 549690339
There were many similar abandoned cities in this age.
Due to a certain safety mentality, even if more people gathered together, they would still prefer to choose a village or camp.
Regardless of whether such a town was really dangerous or not, just the feeling of emptiness and vastness made people feel uneasy.
However, strictly speaking, an abandoned city like this was actually safe.
When the Crimson Moon first appeared in the sky, a large number of lunatics appeared in the world. The collapse of civilization and the disappearance of order were all related to these lunatics. They had once become the most terrifying predators in the world, and the nightmare of those who had experienced that era. Even now, there were still people who were deeply afraid of the wilderness and those black holes in the abandoned cities.
However, by this time, the lunatics who had been running around the entire land had almost all been eliminated.
Occasionally, there would be one or two, and they were all precious animals.
According to Lu Xin’s knowledge, the source of pollution caused by mental disorders usually appeared in large, densely populated cities or gathering points. An empty and uninhabited city like this did not have the basic conditions for such a strange phenomenon to occur.
Even though .
Looking up, under the layer of mist, the buildings were faintly visible, like unknown guards. The quiet city sat there in silence. There seemed to be something that made people uneasy hidden in places that they couldn’t see, quietly grinding their claws and teeth.
It was indeed quite scary.
One by one, the trucks drove into the fog-covered city.
The distance between each car was about ten meters, and on the main road, it was a habit to keep a distance of a hundred meters.
This way, even if they were ambushed, they would not be caught in one fell swoop.
uncle, this city looks very fat .
Old Zhou, who was in the driver’s seat, looked at the dark houses around him with some envy.
I don’t know where. ‘Il rest at night. If only I could run over and search .
Lu Xin looked around and nodded in agreement.
Such a city, vast and empty, must have hidden countless valuable things.
Even if such a city had been visited by many search teams, they would not be able to clean it up.
“Hehe, don’t be greedy, kid .
Old Zhou began to educate his nephew, “”Do you know that in the past, people who search for wastelands would have to hide in a city like this?”
Xiao Zhou and Lu Xin looked at him curiously, “”Why?”
“You two young people don’t understand, do you?”
Old Zhou was very proud of himself and said to little Zhou, “”Give your uncle a cigarette …”
Then. he began to explain, ” in a city like this, everyone knows that it’s fat, but there are also many dangers. In the past, the world was filled with lunatics running around. The lunatics in the wilderness were easy to clean up. They didn’t run fast and didn’t know how to use guns. If a group of people held guns, it would be easy for them to attack. However, in the city, there are too many corners. One would suddenly appear from nowhere, hug you. and start to gnaw ?Lu Xin tried his best to understand what Mr. Zhou was referring to.
But why did it sound a little improper?
I thought he was just a lunatic. I’ve seen him in the circus before. He’s not that powerful. He can’t even beat the hunting dogs
When Xiao Zhou heard this, he stuffed the cigarette he was about to pass to his uncle into his mouth.
“Hey, you young man …”
The uncle’s eyes immediately widened. you were born in a good time. You’ve never seen those lunatics being fierce.
“The few years before you were born were the most chaotic. How many people were eaten by lunatics?”
that’s how your uncle met your aunt at that time. Fortunately, we have good shooting skills. I hit wherever I pointed. I’m not bragging, but more than a dozen lunatics surrounded me at that time. I only had one gun and four bullets, but I didn’t panic in the face of danger. I shot a few times.
Lu Xin’s interest was piqued and he asked curiously, “”And then?”
Old Zhou’s eyes widened. and then I ran and shouted for help.
Lu Xin and Xiao Zhou both fell silent, and both of them wore disdainful expressions.
I’m pretty good at this. Many people are so scared that their legs are shaking when they see a lunatic. We’re different. We ran so fast and shouted for help so loudly. Speaking of which, if I didn’t shout so loudly for help, how could I have met his aunt? ”
Old Zhou was proud of himself. this shout was worth it. I have a wife and a daughter all of a sudden.
“So, Auntie didn’t wrong you when she said that you have an old habit of peeing in your pants?” Xiao Zhou said thoughtfully.
Old Zhou was furious. what nonsense are you spouting? give me the cigarette!
As old Zhou continued to narrate his heroic deeds, the truck gradually entered the city.
People usually didn’t drive too fast in the city.
Although the Pathfinders had already confirmed that there was no problem for the vehicles to move on this main road and some small obstacles had been cleared, the vehicles still drove very carefully. In the thin mist, they slowly walked through the silent steel forest.
A gust of wind whirled through the city and fluttered the curtains.
Although it was broad daylight, this empty and desolate city still made people feel a little scared.
Xiao Zhou’s face was pressed against the car window. She swallowed her saliva and said, ‘”‘1 wonder if there are any lunatics in these empty houses …”
“Chi …”
Old Zhou could not help but laugh. what year is it? there are still lunatics around? ”
if there’s really a lunatic, then we’ll make a profit. If we catch one and sell it to the circus, it’ll be 100 yuan each .
this is more valuable than the junk we plundered .
Lu Xin’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. “There’s such a business opportunity?”
“Beeping …”
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle in front of them. In this empty city, it was exceptionally ear-piercing.
“What’s wrong?”
Everyone who heard the whistle slowed down and looked over with a confused expression.
This kind of whistle was usually only blown in an emergency.
“Du du …”
The whistle suddenly became even more ear-piercing, and it was getting closer and closer.
In the field of vision of the group of experienced drivers, they saw a motorcycle rushing over from the front.
In the car, one of the Pathfinders was panicking. He held a megaphone in his hand and shouted desperately, ‘”‘Retreat, retreat .
“In front … There’s a madman!”
“What? Crazy?”
Lu Xin, who was looking at the abandoned city outside, and Xiao Zhou, who had her face pressed against the car window, were both stunned. For the first time, their expressions were even a little puzzled.
“Are there really lunatics?”
Did he get what he wanted?
Now, most of the lunatics had long disappeared. Occasionally, there were one or two, but they were just killed with a few shots.
Now, a lunatic had actually appeared in this city?
Shouldn’t it be about catching them and selling them to the circus?
Even though he was thinking this, old Zhou still changed the gear and shouted, “”Be careful,” he warned.
The team’s usual training and strict orders were effective.
Even though he didn’t know what was going on, 01 ‘Zhou decided to retreat immediately.
It wasn’t just him. The cars behind him and in front of him also reacted. However, the cars shook slightly and stopped. Their cars were too big, and it was difficult to turn around on the road in the city.
They could only retreat to the main road in the city to have a chance of turning back, but that would also waste a lot of time.
Old Zhou was so anxious that he started sweating.
The habit of the convoy was to keep a certain distance, but not too far away.
If they were too far away and were attacked by some Knights, they would easily be eaten by the other party, and others would not be able to save them in time. If he followed too closely, he might be plotted against or surrounded. Therefore, it had been a habit for them to keep a distance of tens of meters while the convoy was driving. But now, it had become their greatest weakness.
He couldn’t turn his head, nor could he leave.
It could be said that an abandoned city like this was a natural counter to their caravan.
“Damn it, don’t think about it. We can’t get out.”
Old Zhou, who realized this, picked up his gun and shouted, “”Where’s the madman? let’s fight them!”
“Where are you?”
Little Zhou also picked up his gun and shouted, “”Catch them and sell them for money!”
“Swish!”
Before the two of them could finish their sentence, there was a sudden crash from outside the car, mixed with a scream.
Looking down from the driver’s seat, 01 ‘Zhou could see a gray shadow coming out. The Scout who was riding the motorcycle and shouting all the way was pushed to the ground by the gray shadow, and he screamed in horror.
This sudden scene stunned the uncle and nephew of old Zhou.
Looking at the man pouncing on the Scout and biting him, they felt their hair stand on end.
It was a tall man, or rather, a humanoid monster.
He was wearing a gray one-piece suit that had turned black, and his limbs were obviously stronger and thicker than the others.
He was bald and his body was twisted unnaturally. However, he was very fast and ran like a beast.
He pounced on the spy on the motorcycle and immediately bit him.
The scalp-numbing sound of bones being chewed up was accompanied by the sound of flesh being swallowed and painful cries.
Old Zhou and little Zhou were both stunned, and their expressions were somewhat dull.
The color on elder Zhou’s face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had recalled some bad memories.
Suddenly, blood splattered on the monster’s bald head, and its body fell to the ground, twitching.
The gunshot jolted Mr. Zhou out of his daze. He turned around and saw Lu Xin retreating from the window.
Smoke was still coming out of his gun.
It was Lu Xin who had peeked out of the car window at an inconvenient angle and killed the monster with a single shot.
“Don’t panic, wait in the car.”
Lu Xin said to 01 ‘Zhou before pulling back and pushing the car door open.
“You …”
“What are you doing there?” old Zhou was shocked.
Lu Xin got out of the car and said, “”1’11 go and see how many lunatics there are.”
“Ah, you …”
Both Mr. And Mrs. Zhou were shocked by Lu Xin’s actions.
However, Lu Xin did not notice anything amiss.
Whether it was from a dangerous point of view or an economic point of view, his behavior was reasonable .
