Uriah nodded and said, "Being bitten by zombies and transforming your body into a hunter is only the most basic method. It is said that almost no one in the floating city will use this method to become a hunter."
"That's true." Enzo nodded slightly.
By being bitten by zombies, the possibility of body alienation is less than one in 10,000, and the higher probability is that it mutates into zombies. Therefore, it is a completely uncontrollable transformation method, and it is naturally impossible to become mainstream.
"Then is there any other way to become a hunter?"
Wayne asked quickly. In order to be able to control mechas, almost all scavengers aspired to become scavengers, and he was naturally no exception.
"The mutated beasts in the wasteland have many special existences."
Uriah thought for a moment and said, "They are more powerful than their kind because they have a kind of demonized crystal core in their bodies. The humans on the floating city seem to have some means of using the demonized crystal core to create hunters."
"
"However, I don't know exactly how to do it."
As a few people talked, the sound of rain outside suddenly became quieter. Enzo walked to the ruins of the cave and looked outside. A light gradually appeared in the sky.
"The rain has stopped, we can leave." Uriah raised her head.
The wasteland that has experienced an acid rain exudes a radiation smell, and even the earth becomes a little scorching, but this level of radiation is still within the tolerable range for the wastelanders.
Afterwards, several people walked out of the cave.
Ho ho ho...
At this time, a sound suddenly came from not far away, and a zombie with only half its body left slowly crawled towards a few people.
Phew!
Uriah pulled out a wooden dagger and thrust it into the zombie's eye socket, ending his life. There were many zombies in the wasteland, and the weakest zombie among them not only moved slowly, but also had very weak strength.
As long as you suppress the fear in your heart, anyone can deal with them.
What is really scary is high-level zombies, or many low-level zombies gathering together to form a wave of wandering zombies. Once that happens, it can be called a disaster for the shelter.
"The acid rain is over, and the guys from the Iron Hand Gang may return to the shelter."
Uriah put away his dagger and said, "We only need to hide on the road back to the shelter to block them. Now that Enzo has become a hunter, it will be easy to kill Theodore and the others."
"There is only one thing you need to pay attention to, and that is not to let go of the survivors."
Wayne and his friends have been forming a team for a long time, and Uriah, the smartest one, has always been in charge of making plans, and this time is no exception.
…
Near the wasteland dump.
The earth dyed red by radiation and blood showed a strange black color. The spacecraft on the floating city left not long ago, bringing a carnival to the surrounding shelters, and most of the scavengers returned with their loads.
"This damn rain is finally over!"
Under the dilapidated iron shed, several boys looked outside and said happily, the acid rain in the wasteland is always unpredictable. If it lasts for a short time, it will not have much impact, but if it lasts for a few days or even a month, it will
It would be a disaster for the surrounding shelters.
"Bah! Damn Wayne."
Under the abandoned iron shed, Theodore, who was tall, had a metal palm inlaid on his left arm. His face was full of flesh, giving people a fierce look. His eyes were cold, and he frowned and said, "When I get back to the shelter, I will use that mechanical arm."
Report the matter to Johnny Boss and see what you do this time!"
The Iron Hands and Wayne's gang are both scavengers, so friction between them is inevitable.
However, most of the time, it was the Iron Hands who suffered the loss. Wayne and Enzo's desperate character in fights was well-known around the garbage dump.
"Boss, do we want to go back to the underground shelter?"
Next to him, a short boy with a bald tail behind his butt asked, "We found nothing during this scavenging. If we just return to the shelter like this, will Boss Johnny let us go?"
"Humph! If it were before, of course I wouldn't."
Theodore had a sinister face and said with a ferocious smile, "But this time, as long as we bring him the news about the robotic arm, Johnny Boss will never blame us, and may even reward us!"
"Is that so? That would be great." The rat-tailed boy looked excited.
While talking, several people walked out of the abandoned iron shed.
Although this acid rain has ended, according to the unpredictable weather in the wasteland, no one can guarantee when the next acid rain will come. Especially now that it is approaching night, it is safe to return to the shelter.
"It's a pity that I didn't get anything from this scavenging."
Theodore had some regrets on his face, but he was aggrieved in his heart. This time the floating city spaceship came to the garbage dump, and the resources it put in were very generous. Almost all the scavenger teams returned with a full load, but the Iron Hand Gang got nothing.
This was mainly because they wasted too much time fighting with Wayne for the robotic arm, and when they were preparing to scavenge, they encountered acid rain.
"Damn it Wayne, you must die this time!"
Theodore attributed everything to Wayne. If it weren't for him, the Iron Hand Gang's small team would definitely be able to find a lot of resources.
call out!
The four people were walking quickly, when a sound broke through the air suddenly, and with a painful scream, the boy next to Theodore fell down.
There was a poison dart stuck in his neck.
"Run away!"
Theodore was so shocked that he immediately prepared to run away without even having time to see who had killed his companions.
"I want to leave now, but it's not that easy!"
Ahead, several figures appeared blocking the way. Wayne's face was ferocious, and he was holding a rusty short knife in his hand, but it was polished from an iron bar.
On the right, two more poison darts were shot, but Theodore dodged them both.
"Sure enough, after being discovered, it is difficult for the poison dart to hit the target."
Not far away, Uriah shook his head, walked out with some regret, and put away the whistle in his hand, which shot poison darts.
"Even without a sneak attack, we will definitely win."
Wayne's eyes were like a wolf, staring ahead. The victorious balance was originally leaning towards Wayne and his group, but for the sake of insurance, Uriah insisted on a sneak attack, but he also succeeded in killing one of the opponents.
"Wayne, what do you mean?"
Theodore's voice was stern, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't that mechanical arm already given to you? Why are you still causing trouble for us!"
"Bah! Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Wayne spat on the ground and sneered, "Now, are you planning to go back to the shelter and attack Mad Dog Johnny with your robotic arm?"
Theodore's face turned to one side, and his expression became unnatural.
Although his thoughts were exposed, he still refused to admit it and said, "What good will this do to me? It's not like you don't know Johnny Boss's character. He will not reward me for informing me."
"Reporting on us will indeed have no practical benefit to you."
Uriah shook his head and said softly: "However, as long as it can cause us some trouble, you will not let it go. Therefore, in order to avoid all unpleasantness, I can only ask you to die."
"Damn it, what do you want to do?"
Theodore's expression changed drastically, and he put his iron hand on his chest, preparing to fight, but his legs were slightly weak, as if he could escape at any time.
"Get ready, brothers."
At this time, Wayne had already spoken, his eyes locked on Theodore, and said, "I'll deal with Theodore, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
There are only four members of the Iron Hand Gang, and one of them has been dropped by a poison dart.
Apart from Theodore, there were only the boy with a rat tail and another ugly guy.
After Wayne finished speaking, he rushed straight to Theodore.
"Fight them!"
On the opposite side, Theodore also had a fierce look on his face, waving his hands to signal his two men to charge, and he also met Wayne's dagger.
"A battle without any suspense."
Enzo couldn't help but shook his head. Most of the scavengers in the wasteland were very weak. Even with their unafraid spirit, they couldn't exert much fighting power. Therefore, there was no suspense in this battle.
But soon, an accident happened.
Theodore and Wayne were fighting each other. The short knife collided with the iron hand, causing a sharp friction. But after several exchanges, Theodore suddenly took a half step back, took out the white powder from his arms, and threw it out violently.
.
Wayne was accidentally blinded by white powder.
Theodore immediately turned around and ran wildly, completely disregarding the life and death of his other two companions. The rat-tailed boy suddenly screamed.
"Boss..."
Phew!
At this time, Uriah suddenly took a step forward, and the wooden dagger pierced the rat-tailed boy's neck. Blood spurted out, and the thin body fell to the ground. After twitching a few times, he could not get up again.
On the other side, the ugly boys from the Iron Hand Gang were also killed.
Theodore ran desperately towards the garbage dump. Wayne and his gang were determined to kill him, so he had to escape to get a chance of survival.
"Hurry up! Don't let him run away!"
Wayne said quickly, rubbing his eyes with his hands and regaining some of his vision, but Theodore was very fast, and in a moment, he had already run a hundred meters away.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Enzo spoke softly, and then chased after him. No matter how fast Theodore was, he could not surpass the knight, so he was quickly caught up.
A direct punch.
His chest seemed to be shattered. Theodore vomited blood and immediately fell to the ground. An abnormal red color appeared on his face. He glanced at Enzo with a malicious look, but he died without even saying a word.
.
"Well done, Enzo!"
Behind him, Wayne's voice of surprise came. He did not expect that Enzo could kill Theodore so easily. He was worthy of being an alienated hunter, and his speed and strength were far superior to ordinary people.
Next to her, Uriah was not in a hurry to be happy.
He quickly came to Theodore's body, bent down and started searching, but after a moment he frowned, sighed and shook his head.
"Food." Uriah said, "Have you forgotten that all the food we picked up in the garbage dump has been eaten by Enzo. It will take at least a month before the next spacecraft arrives."
"What's more, Boss Johnny also needs an explanation. We can't go back empty-handed, right?"
"Uh...it seems like that." Wayne scratched his head out of habit.
Afterwards, Uriah sighed, looked at a few people, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, I planned to seize their trophies after killing the Iron Hand Gang, but now it seems that Theodore and these losers are scavenging this time.
Got nothing.”
"So we have to make one more trip to the dump!"
Wayne thought for a while and nodded in agreement, while Casey, Miles, Monroe and Opal next to him did not object. Food is the most important resource for the survival of the Wastelanders. The food of a small team cannot last for a month.
time.
"In this case, let's get started without further delay!"
Uriah took a deep breath. There were still a few hours until dark. The small team must go to the garbage dump immediately to collect waste. Otherwise, once night falls, the danger level of the wilderness will inevitably rise sharply.
After making the decision, several people headed to the garbage dump.
The garbage dump located in the center of this wasteland is a garbage dumping point specially set up by the upper-level floating city ten years ago. The main reason is to clean up the excess garbage on the floating city, and the other part of the reason is also to provide waste for the lower-level floating city.
The natives have some hope for survival.
Surrounding this garbage dump, there are no fewer than ten shelters.
Most of the shelters are like Vault 72. The residents make a living by scavenging in garbage dumps. A bronze hunter with a flintlock gun can be called a unique master.
There are only a few shelters with hunter teams.
Those people do not make a living in the garbage dump, but gain a chance of survival by hunting mutant beasts in the wilderness. Compared with the former, the death rate of the hunter team is higher, but the resources they obtain are definitely more abundant.
After all, the meat of a medium-sized mutated beast is enough for people to eat for a long time.
Wayne's small team headed towards the garbage dump.
"I hope the good stuff hasn't been picked up by others yet." Casey, who had a black birthmark on his face, muttered in a low voice.
Not long after, the garbage dump appeared in front.
Before they even got close to the garbage dump, a strange smell hit their faces. Enzo frowned slightly, but Wayne and others seemed very calm. They were already familiar with the smell and therefore had immunity.
"It's going to get dark soon, everyone, please move quickly."
Wayne waved his hand and signaled everyone to start taking action. As a resource point that can provide a dozen shelters for survival, this garbage dump covers an area almost as large as a small city. All kinds of garbage are piled up in the periphery, but most of them have been
Contaminated by radiation, it has no value for picking up.
The primary purpose of Wayne's small team is naturally to find food.
Uriah took the lead and came to the bottom of a mountain of rubbish. He rummaged through it skillfully. Food contaminated by radiation would become horrifying, so Wayne and others knew very well what could and could not be eaten.
