"Huh..." Liu Ping let out a long breath and finally managed to deal with the monster-like Xiang Mubai.
But as soon as he relaxed, Liu Ping suddenly felt his nose felt hot. When he raised his hand to touch it, blood started to pour out from his nose. Only then did Liu Ping realize that he was only a hair away from death.
He looked at Xiang Mubai who was no longer moving in shock, never expecting that this guy could hurt someone with just the wind of his fist.
But he is the winner.
After leaning down and carefully confirming Xiang Mubai's signs of life, Liu Ping put away his weapon and headed for the cockpit.
I checked the coordinates and found that it was indeed flying to San Francisco and would be arriving soon.
Liu Ping sat in the main pilot seat and was stunned for a while, then entered a new set of codes, and then turned around and flew towards the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.
…
Two hours later, Liu Ping flew to the vicinity of Shelter No. 03 in Wangye Ecological Zone, New Tokyo City.
After parking the aircraft, Liu Ping stood up and prepared to pack his things.
Unexpectedly, he felt dizzy as soon as he turned around. It seemed that the battle with Xiang Mubai just caused more damage to him than just a nosebleed.
After holding on to the driver's seat to wake up for a while, Liu Ping got out of the cockpit.
After walking two steps, we arrived at the place where we had the decisive battle with Xiang Mubai.
result……
Liu Ping discovered that Xiang Mubai’s body was missing?!
At that moment, Liu Ping suddenly woke up. He pulled out his weapon and walked forward cautiously. When he reached the lounge at the rear of the cabin, he discovered that Xiang Mubai had climbed to the entrance of the lounge without knowing when.
The blood stains along the way have long since dried, and the one lying at the door now is indeed a corpse.
However, Liu Ping did not dare to be careless. He had confirmed that Xiang Mubai was dead before, but he still crawled away. Now that he was dead again, Liu Ping didn't believe it.
So he turned Xiang Mubai's body over, then raised his gun and shot him twice in the eyes.
A total of four bullets hit Xiang Mubai's head. Now he is dead even if he is a zombie.
But Liu Ping still observed Xiang Mubai for a long time, and waited until he was sure that Xiang Mubai would not "scam his body" again before he entered the lounge and started packing his things.
According to Liu Ping's original idea, he wanted to find Yinsi and others directly to ask clearly.
But Xiang Mubai said that he had woken up and realized that he was an abandoned son who had been used up. In this case, he was now alone and could live for himself.
So Liu Ping planned to take away the necessary daily necessities and find a quiet place to hide.
Shelter No. 03 in Wangye Ecological Zone, New Tokyo City, was the place that Liu Ping immediately thought of...
There are not a lot of supplies in Xiang Mubai's aircraft, but if they are used sparingly, it will be enough for Liu Ping to survive for several months.
After he finished packing, he returned to the aircraft cockpit, where he sent a set of virtual coordinates to prevent being tracked by the "Warrior of the Nation".
Then he got off the aircraft with two large bags full of things on his back.
At this time, Shelter No. 03 had only been opened once by the rescue team not long ago, so Liu Ping quickly found a way to open the shelter again.
However, shortly after Liu Ping entered the shelter, Xiang Mubai, who was abandoned in the aircraft in the dark and cold wind, and his eyes were beaten with blood holes, was still able to sit up.
He is really like a thousand-year-old corpse that has come to life again!
With a long breath, Xiang Mubai turned his head left and right, then clenched his fists, and those eyes actually "grew" again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But after having eyes, Xiang Mubai became a little dull.
He didn't seem to remember what had happened before, and just sat there blankly.
After a long time, he stood up with a sneer...
…
Vault 03 Area R.
Fresh prey was approaching, it was a snow-white deer-like thing, they were wandering in pairs near the pipes in the water purification area of Area R.
The hot and humid environment breeds a large amount of unknown algae, and these deer-like creatures feed on these algae.
Although the environment they are in is deep underground, this seems to be a paradise for them, where they jump and play to their heart's content in the steel forest.
The water is splashing everywhere, looking very comfortable.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the hunter's bullet penetrated the heart of an adult "white deer". In an instant, the harmony and tranquility were broken, and all the "white deer" fled in fright, except for the "white deer" who was shot.
The partner just whines.
She did not choose to leave, but used her body to protect the fallen "white deer" as much as possible.
Wait until...
A second gunshot rang out.
The pair of "white deer" all fell in a pool of blood.
A strange floral fragrance permeates the hot and humid environment, but only hunters know that the fragrance is poisonous filth and a lie about uncleanness. Once you are intoxicated, you will be infected and infected without knowing it.
Transformed into a faceless and pale-skinned monster.
"Give me the knife, Hanako."
The old hunter wore a mask. He walked to the "white deer" and squatted down.
Behind him was Hanako Momosawa, who also wore a mask, but was obviously much thinner. She had become a qualified hunter.
"Give."
The old hunter took the knife and mercilessly plunged the knife edge into the heart of the "white deer" who was still alive.
This strange creature is a new species infected by the spread of underground filth.
They are indeed deer, and they are a species native to Japan.
However, after being infected, not only did their fur turn white, but their various living habits also underwent great changes. Not only did they appear in pairs, but they also had an extra heart in their bodies.
This gives them greater strength and keener perception.
The bullet just now only hit the heart in their chest. What the old hunter wants to kill now is the other heart that was born from the mutation in the belly.
After both hearts stopped beating, "White Deer"'s eyes finally turned gray.
Hanako tilted her head unbearably. Although she had become a qualified hunter under Liang Qiuru's devilish training, she was still not used to hunting.
Because "white deer" are infected mutated species, not every part of their flesh can be eaten.
After the old hunter disembowelled the "white deer", he only took away some of its internal organs and some meat from its hind legs, and threw the rest where they fell.
After putting these ingredients into special jars.
Hanako asked: "Master, are we going back to the camp today?"
The old hunter asked: "Are you homesick?"
"Hmm." Hanako has been out with the old hunter for a week, and she is getting further and further away from the camp at this time. She has walked out of the "forest farm" and reached the edge of the "mysterious water source".
This is the most incredible and dangerous area formed after Area R was "occupied" by those weird substances.
Previously, the old hunter took three trainee hunters to try to cross the "mysterious water source" to check the integrity of the filter element of the core water purification device in the water purification area.
As a result, only one of the three apprentice hunters returned to the camp alive.
The old hunter was also injured. After that incident, Zhang Yuchu, the leader of the camp, issued an order prohibiting anyone from entering the "mysterious water source" again.
Now that the old hunter has brought Hanako to this marginal area, Hanako can't help but become a little worried. She is afraid that the old hunter will suddenly ask to find the two missing trainee hunters, so that she will have to face the possibility of going back alone or putting herself in danger.
The decision has been made.
Fortunately, the old hunter was not so impulsive. He washed his hands in the water that glowed with blue light, then stood up and said, "Then let's go back. I guess if you don't go back, your mother will find you."
Hanako took a deep breath and said with a smile, "You know my mother quite well."
The old hunter chuckled and said, "That's not true. I have learned how powerful Ms. Liangqiu is. She is an extraordinary person."
Hanako followed the old hunter and asked as he walked: "Can you tell me how my mother completed the filter cleaning alone?"
This issue involves many aspects.
Including the "mutation" in Area R, the expansion of the "mysterious water source" and the disappearance of the trainee hunter.
After hearing this, the old hunter sighed and asked: "Hanako, are you also curious about what secrets are hidden behind that diary?"
Hanako nodded fiercely: "Of course, I've always been curious."
The old hunter understood. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the human creations in the surrounding area R and said: "You see, these are the native facilities of area r. The original designer designed area r to be the center of the entire shelter.
The summary area of basic operation facilities, where you can see all the equipment and large machines used to ensure the survival of civilians in the shelter, right?"
Hanako looked around. She had long noticed that Area R was a steel forest and was not suitable for use as a living area at all.
"Um."
"But since the diary was discovered, those mysterious powers began to transform it, making it somewhat incredible." The old hunter pointed out.
Hanako understood what he meant.
During the time she became a hunter, Hanako had long since noticed that the R-area was much larger than she had imagined, and seemed to be "expanding" every day. This lifeless "expansion" could only be discovered by paying attention to some subtle changes.
At first, Hanako didn't know the road and thought it was her imagination. But when she found that the roads she was already familiar with were also changing, she noticed that Area R seemed to have come to life.
When she asked Liang Qiuru about the secret, Liang Qiuru told her that this was just a symptom of the mutation in Area R.
In the following days, Hanako followed the old hunter to almost every corner of the entire R area, and also understood why the camp was chosen to be established in the place where the diary was first found, because only the environmental state there was relatively stable, while other places
...Maybe the room you slept in was very small at night, but when you woke up it was much larger, and your body may have blended in with the surrounding environment.
This situation is not a conjecture, it actually happened.
In addition, through this period of wandering and hunting, Hanako became clear about several new areas in Area R.
The power supply area located in the northwest of the camp is called "Psychedelic Valley". The name sounds a bit mysterious, but Hanako knew that the name was so appropriate after following the old hunter there for the first time.
That mysterious power turned the electric charge into a plaything in the hand. Although it did not destroy the equipment in the power supply area, it used the electricity there to create many strange illusions.
Shortly after Hanako entered, she noticed another version of herself waving to her in the distance.
At first Hanako thought it was an illusion, but later she realized that it was "its" masterpiece.
To the east of the camp is the air purification system, which is one of the core systems of the three major security systems together with the geothermal power system and water circulation system.
But after "it" appeared, this place became a "nest of evil spirits" shrouded in thick fog, where a large number of faceless monsters who were initially attracted by the strange fragrance of flowers and became infected and alienated gathered here.
Their number is far greater than the survivors in the camp. According to rough estimates by old hunters, there are only a few of more than a thousand.
However, they are very quiet and will stay in this area to sleep most of the time. Only some restless ones will come out of the "Evil Ghost's Nest" to look for food.
And before they start attacking people, they have actually been feeding on various shady plants in the R area. Until the first victim appears, these can climb freely on the wall like geckos, with quick movements and strength.
The huge and shocking monster turned into a bloodthirsty demon.
And because the important food supply area is right next to this area, the area that hunters usually patrol is on the outer edge of the "Evil Ghost's Nest".
This edge area is large, but relatively long and narrow. It is sandwiched between the "Valley of Psychedelics" and the "Lair of Evil Ghosts". It is a steel "forest" constructed of other types of basic support equipment in Area R.
The place where Hanako and the old hunter are now is the "forest".
In the middle area of the "forest", there are "algae cultivation pools" that provide food security for the camp. The main job of some watchmen such as Liang Qiuru is to ensure that these cultivation pools are not destroyed.
The "mysterious water source" is a new area that appeared shortly after the rescue team arrived at Shelter 03.
It used to be a dark and lightless area. Except to check the status of the water purification filter, few people in the camp went there.
Until one day, when the old hunter was inspecting the expansion of Area R, he accidentally discovered that the dark and lightless area not only became bright, the water also became warm, and even incredible life forms appeared.
"White Deer" is one of them.
At first, in addition to the "white deer", there were many mysterious fish and reptiles in the "mysterious water source". Although most of them retained their familiar appearances, their alienated appearances were still somewhat different.
For example, those "white deer" that appear in pairs are as mysterious and awe-inspiring as they are like gods in fantasy when they move around the "mysterious water source" area.
But when the first "white deer" was shot and fresh meat products were served to everyone in the camp, everyone realized that these "white deer" might be "it"'s gifts to mortals.
In the process of transforming the entire R-area by using its imagination as much as possible like a child, this is also the first time that the survivors in the camp have experienced blessings.
"First it's the environment, then it's us, and finally it's creation. Sometimes I wonder if everything here will turn into a disaster when the sun 'rises'." The old hunter sounded worried.
Only now did Hanako realize how much courage it took for everyone in the camp to choose to stay behind.
"Will not."
"Um?"
Hanako smiled: "Don't worry, master, I have read through that diary. Although I can't understand many parts, I can see that what it ultimately wants to convey is good news!"
The old hunter also smiled: "Hanako, you are really an optimist, but it is true that people cannot be depressed all the time. They have to give themselves some hope. In this regard, I have to call you master."
Hanako chuckled: "Oh, Master, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."
The old hunter also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Didn't Confucius say that when three people are walking together, there must be someone who can teach me? You still need to be open-minded and eager to learn."
"Then, master, when are you going to teach me how to set traps? I also want to grow up as soon as possible so that I can be promoted to a watcher!"
The old hunter was a little surprised when he heard this: "Hanako, you can't become a watcher just by learning how to make traps. You have to endure the hard work of loneliness alone!"
Of course Hanako knows.
As the defenders of the camp's food supply area, watchmen often have to live alone at a watch point for a week.
During this week, they did not have the barrier of the camp to protect them. They had to be vigilant against the bloodthirsty monsters every day and did not dare to make a sound.
But it is this kind of work that Hanako's mother Liang Qiuru has been doing for more than two months.
Now the main reason why Hanako wants to become a watcher is that she hopes to succeed her mother so that she will not have to work so hard... Of course, another reason is that Hanako hopes that her mother can spare time to find out the truth behind the various mysterious phenomena in the R-Zone.
, so that when the sun rises, they can choose to leave.
"Well, master, I know all this, but people have to start again. I can't rely on others forever, can I?" Hanako's attitude was firm and it didn't sound like he was joking.
The old hunter nodded happily after hearing this, then he thought for a while and said: "In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I can teach you some simple trap making methods now, and then tell you how to choose a watch
Yes, after you learn it, you can be the watchman here for two days tonight, and Master, I will go to the breeding pond in advance to wait for you, what do you think?"
Hanako was a little dumbfounded when she heard this. She did have a plan in mind, but she didn't expect everything would happen so quickly.
This caught her a little off guard.
"Ah? Study now?"
The old hunter smiled: "What else? If we wait a few more days, maybe the sun will rise!"
Hanako was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Well, I understand! Then master... let's get started?"
"good."
In the next few hours, the old hunter taught Hanako a lot.
For example, how to use all available resources around you to make traps, how to set up your own defense line to warn enemies of their approach, and how to choose a suitable location for watching and resting.
Hanako memorized everything one by one.
The old hunter had nothing else to give him, so it was up to Hanako to adapt and feel it.
"Then, I'll leave first. Hanako, you have to live well!" The old hunter couldn't help but feel worried in his tone.
Hanako also understood that this was going to be serious, and it was time for her to take the first step to survive independently.
"Um!"
