According to the scheduled contact information, Frank, the leader of the 'mutants', finally brought his remaining men to meet with 'Zombie' Bill. When the two groups met again, they were both surprised at what the other party had experienced.
After Frank returned, he grabbed a radioactive cockroach on the ground without saying a word, tore off its head with force, and began to chew the mutated creature's flesh. The men who followed it back also used the same method, desperately replenishing food, and eating as much as they could.
drink.
Regarding the radioactive cockroaches eaten by his allies, 'Zombie' Bill remained silent. It was not until the other party was full that he said slowly: "Are you being chased?"
"Yes." The stout Frank made a loud noise. He sat on a fallen tree trunk, touched the dozen bullet holes on his body, and said angrily: "The opponent is very strong. I lost two companions, and the injuries are at least ten.
How many days will it take to recover? You seem to have suffered a lot of losses."
"Yes, only half of the men who escaped with me were killed by heavy artillery from the stronghold." Bill, the skeleton-faced 'zombie', did not sigh or feel depressed. He was just stating the facts, "That stronghold
It should be that we have received reinforcements in the past two days, otherwise we would not have suffered such a defeat."
"My companion alerted me before he died. He said that we met the commander of the Aurora Legion." Frank said, but he was not very sure about this news.
"Aurora Legion? Commander of the Legion?" 'Zombie' Bill was very surprised, "That's the guy named Victor Hugo? How did he come to us?"
A bunch of mutated humans looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on.
At this moment, at the place where the 'mutants' were attacked, Zhou Qingfeng and more than twenty men were carefully surveying the battlefield. They were trying to restore the battle scene that had just occurred and evaluate the combat capabilities of the 'mutants' in detail.
"Four of our people were killed and two injured. They were all casualties caused by failing to suppress the other party during the exchange of fire, or being suppressed by the other party."
"The six mutants are all equipped with large firearms and heavy weapons. Based on the items left at the scene, each mutant can carry a load of at least 150 kilograms for combat."
"These guys are still very capable of maneuvering in the field despite carrying such a high load. They are brave and tenacious in fighting, and they fight in a very organized manner and cooperate well. They dare to fight and fight hard, and are full of sacrifice."
"They retreated very fast, and we couldn't catch up at all. And I suspect that their bodies are also very capable of self-recovery. They don't care at all about many injuries that are fatal to ordinary people."
"Last point, the .223 rifle bullets we are using now have no fatal effect on mutants. Their bodies are too strong, and their muscles and bones are extremely solid, several times stronger than normal humans."
Catalina was responsible for recording, summarizing, and reporting, while Zhou Qingfeng frowned at the current situation. He almost gave up his plan to enter Baltimore. If the mutants in the city were so brave, rushing in rashly would simply lead to death.
"Collect the corpses of these two mutants and our soldiers, and wait for the transport plane to transport them back to Havana. We should study how to deal with these mutant humans." Zhou Qingfeng ordered over the radio, and they were mobilized from the stronghold overnight.
Dozens of people cleaned the battlefield.
This matter was worked on all night and was not completed until dawn.
When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the stronghold, there was just a little light in the sky. There was still a smell of gunpowder smoke outside the stronghold. On the ground were a large number of radioactive cockroaches that had been blasted to death by artillery fire. Some of these mutated giant insects were not completely dead. From time to time,
The sickle's feet trembled a few times.
The people who followed Zhou Qingfeng as lookouts on the wall were all dead, either killed by snipers outside the stronghold or by insects.
In addition, in the less than 20 minutes of fighting last night, more than 30 people were killed or injured in the stronghold. Some of them were attacked and bitten by radioactive cockroaches, and most of them were killed by the Butcher's supervising team.
The casualties in the stronghold exceeded 5%, and the casualties in the action team exceeded 10%. Generally speaking, the morale of the stronghold was greatly affected. Especially the residents of the stronghold, when they collected the corpses, they all felt as if they had lost their souls and were weak.
However, when they saw Zhou Qingfeng coming back, these guys finally regained some morale. They all stood upright in a daze, looking at their new leader, as if waiting to receive orders.
But what really revitalized the stronghold was the appearance of two 'mutant' corpses. Seeing that such terrifying monsters were defeated and carried back, the residents in the stronghold couldn't help but talk about it.
"Oh my god, these are mutants."
"It's really scary. Look at their heads, they are really ugly, just like the orcs in fantasy novels."
"I heard that this kind of monster is not afraid of bullets at all. It is an extremely terrifying existence."
"Our new leader doesn't seem to have many people with him. He actually dared to chase and kill all the mutants overnight after being attacked."
"God, we finally have a kind and capable leader. This is really good news."
If Zhou Qingfeng showed his generous and kind side by giving food and killing the old leader yesterday, then the results of this night showed that he is still a strong and capable leader. With the combination of kindness and power, the remaining people in the stronghold turned against Zhou Qingfeng.
More convincing and more cohesive.
"Sir, should we collect these radioactive cockroaches?" Some residents boldly suggested to Zhou Qingfeng.
"Want to store these bugs as food?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the battlefield. There were three to four hundred killed radioactive cockroaches scattered everywhere. "It's okay to clean them up. If they can be eaten, they can be used as meat."
reserve."
Zhou Qingfeng understood that any food was extremely valuable nowadays, so he took it for granted that the residents were hungry. But the resident who made the suggestion quickly said: "Sir, these radioactive cockroaches are a huge treasure, it would be too wasteful to use them as food.
.”
"Oh?" These words made Zhou Qingfeng very curious, "What is the use of these giant insects?"
"The meat of the radiated cockroach has a very high nutritional value, but the key is that there are special glands in its body that have magical medical value and are miraculous in healing many injuries. The Brotherhood of Steel has been paying high prices to buy it, and a complete radiated cockroach can be
In exchange for one hundred kilograms of flour."
"Really?" The stronghold resident's words simply opened up a new world for Zhou Qingfeng. He asked in surprise: "Are you sure this thing can be used as medicine?"
"We are very sure that this thing is really extremely expensive. However, because radioactive cockroaches always move in groups, it is difficult to catch just one. We have never seen a number of three or four hundred like these. If they were reported together, Brother Steel would
We will even send a helicopter to transport it away."
After hearing this description, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but think to himself: Did I accidentally make another fortune? If this thing really had miraculous healing effects, I wouldn't give it to the Brotherhood of Steel.
