This Game is Too Real

Chapter 20: The mutant tribe!

   Chapter 20 The mutant tribe!

   Before leaving Linghu Wetland Park, Chu Guang first took Ye Shi to the mutant leech nest near the parking lot.

   "That's where we found those mushrooms." Ye Shi pointed to the broken cement pipe not far ahead.

   "Fortunately you didn't go in."

  Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.

   "Let's go."

   "It's not our goal today."

   I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don’t know if the mutant leeches can.

  The two carefully bypassed the mutant leech's nest, avoiding lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and walking in the sun as much as possible.

   Walked a little way towards the east.

   Looking at the viaducts and residential buildings ahead, Ye Shi, who was following Chu Guang, couldn't help but ask.

   "Aren't we going hunting?"

"Yes."

   "Then why are you getting farther and farther from the forest?"

   "The forest is ahead."

  “?”

  Chu Guang didn't explain much, silently took off the iron-barreled rifle on his back, pushed the bullet into the barrel, and the aura on his body also changed.

   Not far away, is a broken viaduct.

   On the concrete load-bearing columns covered with moss, the traces of the years are hidden by the shadows of green plants.

  The rat the size of a basin licked the muddy water in the stone pit of the sewer, and when it found two intruders, it rushed to the grass on the side.

   Ye Shi raised his head, his pupils dilated slightly, and a shocking color was printed on it.

  I saw behind the broken viaduct, there were tall buildings covered with vines and moss. Thick roots pierced the cracked concrete ground, and tree trunks rose from the center of the road, overturning the car and bus stations that had long been slag.

  This green **** is full of life, but also hides the murderous intention to devour everything.

The world in the eyes of    is too shocking, and every frame is like a post-apocalyptic artwork, so that Ye Shi even forgot that this is the "game world".

   And at this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Guang's words.

  This is the real forest...

   "Be careful from here on out."

   As Chu Guang said, he opened the safety of the iron-barreled rifle and explored forward step by step.

  Although this place can only be regarded as the northern suburb of Qingquan City, far from the core city, it still has to be vigilant.

  High-rise residences, sewers, three-dimensional gardens, parking lots, drone hives, CNC planting towers, maglev stations and behind every window...

   All man-made wonders, after being abandoned by civilization, have become natural greenhouses and seedbeds.

  After the nuclear war, there was indeed a long winter on this land, but it only lasted for less than half a century.

   The force of nature turns everything around.

  The first thing to fall is the high-rise building, the moss starts along the backlit surface, erodes upwards, and finally covers its whole body.

   And those non-high-rise buildings are not immune.

   In those years of human decline, it only took a few downpours and a sweltering summer to turn this place into a paradise for the savage growth of fungi and angiosperms.

   They provide abundant food for wild animals.

   After the urban drainage system was paralyzed, the fresh water resources in the urban area were even richer than the adjacent Linghu Lake.

  Wild animals and runaway poultry began to migrate from forests, lakes and farms to cities with more comfortable living conditions, and evolved into ferocious and bloodthirsty mutants under the triple action of radioactive substances, genetic weapons and time.

   They are collectively called Xenogeneic!

certainly……

   The danger here is much more than that.

   Carefully walked along the street of 76th Street for a while, the surroundings were quiet, just when Ye Shi was thinking about where the aliens had gone, Chu Guang’s voice came from beside him.

   "There is a situation."

   In front of a scrapped car, Chu Guang suddenly stopped.

   Ye Shi immediately came back to his senses, stopped his steps, and looked around nervously, but saw nothing.

   "What happened?"

  Chu Guang looked solemn.

   "There are traces of survivor activity."

   "Other survivors?!" Ye Shi was stunned, and he lowered his voice like Chu Guang, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "Are you an aborigines in the wasteland?"

   Finally got to meet other NPCs!

   He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

  Chu Guang glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.

   "You don't have to be so excited, it's not something to be happy about."

"why?"

   "Because strangers are more dangerous than aliens in a place like this."

   Without explaining much to him, Chu Guang squatted down and found a string of soda cans strung with wire behind the scrapped wheel.

The   aluminum jar was torn open, and it looked like something had been fried from the fracture, and the smell of rotten eggs could still be faintly smelled.

   "Gunpowder with excess sulphur, and pushpins and iron pieces..."

  Chu Guang frowned.

Mutant?

   Or predators?

   Ordinary survivors do not deploy tripwire mines near settlements.

   This kind of thing is very difficult to hurt the alien species with a keen sense of smell, in other words, it is human.

   Judging from the residual smell, the explosion time should not be long, at most five hours or less.

  Chu Guang turned around and asked.

   "When you came out of the ground, did you hear an explosion from the east?"

   Ye Shi shook his head nervously.

"No."

"wait for me here."

   Looking at Chu Guang who put down the can and got up, Ye Shi asked nervously.

   "What do you want to do?"

   "Investigate the situation ahead."

   "I can go with you—"

   "You, stay here."

  Ye Shi originally wanted to persevere, but when he met Chu Guang's eyes, he was choked again when he reached his mouth, and finally nodded slowly.

   The coercion from the authority dog ​​made him feel that the man in front of him was not arguing with him, maybe he would really be kicked off the assembly line...

   told Ye Shi to hide next to the old car.

  Chu Guang put away the gun, pulled out the sharpened steel pipe from his back, and quickly slipped into the building on the side of the street with a short body.

When    came out, he did intend to use this player as a bait, but now the situation is different.

   On the opposite side are other survivors, and most likely looters or mutant tribes, the bait has lost its meaning, but will startle the snake.

  Chu Guang's expression was solemn, and the steel pipe in his hand was tight.

   The straight-line distance from Linghu Wetland Park is at most 1 km, and it is too close to Refuge 404!

  Especially now that players are engaged in production, the smoke and sound generated will be discovered by people here sooner or later even if they are partially blocked by plants and concrete barriers.

   Keeping these dangers is always a hidden danger.

  Chu Guang was ready to kill.

   Once he judges that the opponent may pose a threat, he will not hesitate to strike first.

  The ten-storey building along the street, the safety passage is very narrow, and the narrow space is covered with moss.

   But luckily, there are no particularly dangerous xenos here.

  Around the fifth floor, there were a few chubby mutant mice, perhaps because they felt that they were "overwhelmed by mice", they were grinning at Chu Guang.

  If they had run away with their backs to their backs, they would definitely have swarmed towards them, but this uninvited guest was not at all afraid, so they were timid by nature and did not dare to act rashly.

   This is no surprise.

  Chu Guang didn't say a word, he straightened his pipe forward, and stabbed the nearest mutant mouse, killing one immediately.

  The rats saw that this guy was so fierce, and immediately fled as birds and beasts, got into the entrance of the floor, and disappeared into the shadows.

   "It doesn't look like a rat's nest."

   "It should be about ten or twenty..."

   A little more and these guys are not easy to deal with.

  The swarms of mutant mice would be troublesome even for fully-armed mercenaries, let alone one who only has an iron-barreled rifle.

  Chu Guang heaved a sigh of relief, and threw the pointed steel pipe, and threw the fat mouse and bloodstains that stabbed to death.

   Go directly to the top floor of the tenth floor.

  Chu Guang used the steel pipe in his hand as a crowbar to pry open the rusted door and enter the roof.

  The wind was very strong on the rooftop.

   He walked to the rusted water tank and looked towards the community to the east. The picture he saw really confirmed his conjecture.

  I saw a camp made of wood standing in the open space in the middle of the concrete building, and the rags and construction waste blocked the view of the outside world.

   Survivor bases in the wasteland are roughly divided into two categories, one is living directly in the house that did not collapse before the war, and the other is starting a new stove in the ruins or open space, depending on the surrounding conditions.

   Plunderers living in urban areas usually lived in buildings, rarely building such primitive dwellings and fortifications.

  Only mutants with an average height of 2 meters and a weight of 300 pounds or more would build such wooden shacks when they obviously had ready-made houses to use.

  The wooden stakes at the entrance of the camp were sharpened, like the fangs of wild animals. Several mutilated corpses were casually worn on them, and the ground was covered with dried blood.

   They eat everything.

  Not just fungi, fruit of plants, and even the flesh of mutant flies, mice, and cockroaches.

  Of course, their favorite food is still the same kind--

   A man with two feet.

   His eyes searched along both sides of the street, and sure enough, Chu Guang saw a mutant sentry with a metal longbow on the roof of a shop along the street at the end of 76th Street.

   That green skin looks like an orc from a fantasy movie, and in fact they are as strong, savage, rude and bloodthirsty as they are.

  The two-meter-tall and Qiu-knot's muscles are covered with armor made of metal junk, and you can even see "the second half price" on the billboard as a breastplate.

  The two everted steel bars set on the shoulders are also the faucet directly removed from the bicycle - this thing has a miraculous effect when dealing with slashing and blunt weapon injuries, and can jam a chainsaw or an axe.

   can be said to be quite cyberpunk.

   If Chu Guang and Ye Shi continued to walk forward, at most, they would be ambushed by the mutant sentry!

   I was faintly afraid in my heart.

  Chuguang's Adam's apple moved slightly, shifted his gaze, and continued to look at the mutant camp in the east community.

  Because there were too many obstructions, he could not see how many people were inside. He could only roughly judge from the scale of the camp based on experience that the number of mutants should be between twenty and thirty.

   "Small mutant colony..."

  Chu Guang's expression gradually became solemn.

   These guys are not easy to mess with!

   At almost the same time, a light blue system pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

  【Mission: Destroy the mutant tribe on 76th Street

  Type: branch line

   Bonus: 200 bonus points

  】

and many more--

  Can you trigger missions outside the shelter? !

  Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and immediately tried to exhale the system, but there was no response.

   The light blue quest popup disappeared like it never appeared.

   It seems that the system can only be opened near the shelter, but the mission can be triggered anywhere outside the shelter?

but……

   These two hundred bonus points are a bit of a craze.

   did not hesitate.

  Chu Guang immediately put away his weapon, turned around and went downstairs, and left the area quickly with a confused expression on Ye Shi.

   That's a 200 point reward!

   The branch line that summoned a hundred players only gave 100 points, but this reward was given 200. Obviously, this task is not so easy to complete.

   Maybe there is a big pit hidden inside!

  Chu Guang is not stupid.

   He wouldn't be so obvious.

   "Lord Manager, what did you see?" Looking at Chu Guang who finally stopped, Ye Shi, breathless, rested his hands on his knees and couldn't help asking.

   Chu Guang, who was standing and resting, answered casually.

   "It's a mutant camp."

   "Then we... just left?"

   "Otherwise, fight with them? If you lose, you will be thrown into a frying pan?" Chu Guang glanced at him, "Think about it with your head, we only have one gun."

   Even only one person can fight.

   Ye Shi closed his mouth and stopped talking.

   He didn't turn his head just now, he just thought the mutants were the NPCs of this game. Now, listening to the manager, this mutant should be a hostile force?

   And it eats people...

   secretly wrote down this information, and Ye Shi plans to share it with other players after he goes back.

   "It's not a good idea to provoke those beasts now. We need to be more prepared, concentrate on giving them to the car, and do it once and for all."

   Chu Guang, who was far away, scolded.

   "How unlucky... The mutant camp is actually on 76th Street, directly opposite the east gate of the park."

   "Anyway, we have to be careful!"

  …

  The original hunting route can only be deviated!

  Chu Guang took Ye Shi around 76th Street, walked about a mile north along the out-of-town elevated road and bridge, and found an abandoned construction site.

  The area of ​​the construction site is very large. It should be a real estate that has just started construction. One of the buildings has reached the seventeenth or eighteenth floor, and the other large pits should be the foundations that are being dug.

   Most of the construction equipment has been scrapped, and the pendant has been smashed on the unfinished building, forming a slope.

   It can be seen that the quality of this house is still good.

   Even the pendant was knocked down by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, but the concrete building was only smashed with a gap, not even hurting the main structure.

  The steel piled on the construction site has been corroded, and the cement in the bag has also deteriorated due to hydration and can no longer be used.

   But what is surprising is that Chu Guang found a lot of unused blue-gray stones here!

  Chu Guang recognized it at a glance. This thing is limestone. The main ingredient should be calcium carbonate.

   "Good stuff!"

  Chu Guang was secretly delighted, turned out the map, and made a mark on it.

   All these limestones are smelted into cement, and it is not a problem to build two buildings.

   As long as Lao Bai has unlocked the technology of burning Portland cement, they will not need to worry about the raw materials of cement for a long time in the future!

   Thanks to the leader of "Kakarot from the Future" for the reward! ! The new book is still a little young, please support me with tickets~~~ There are still children's shoes that have not invested in, you can invest in a wave of investment, trust me, you will get a stable batch!
