293rd Section Station

There is no suspense in the battle.

The wide tires crushed blood mud and flesh on the dry ground. The giant rats rushed in the air, and the passively powerful bullets were rolling and reversed on the spot. The weapons invented by humans once again proved the huge difference between biological power and machinery. If time continues to pass by millions and millions of years, this mammal, which had far exceeded humans in the old era, may have evolved into claws and teeth that are harder than steel. The biological functions of the body will also evolve with the change of tissues and evolved to have stronger regeneration functions. But this is just a speculation that the future is too far away. People's current purpose is to clean and thoroughly kill all these damn, dirty creatures.

The AK rifle held in the major's hand accurately shot out bullets that penetrated the body of the last giant rat. The scattering bullet that rotated wildly with burning energy completely smashed the entire head of the giant rat leaping over. It screamed frantically, and its four short and sharp claws grabbed the air desperately, losing the accuracy of jumping. It was then hit by the off-road vehicle that rushed over, and popped out like an arrow, falling, and rolled out more than five meters away on the ground. The body of the giant rat, who suffered a fatal injury, twitched violently, and after a moment, it would never move again.

The night sky was filled with strong smoke and blood. The soldiers who controlled the machine gun on the roof of the car quickly replaced the new bullet link, swung the gun seat, and pointed the hot muzzle at the three strangers standing among the rat corpse.

The scene was silent.

The hot and spursed lights scattered from the left and right sides, completely covering a twitching flesh and blood with the living person.

Looking at each other, the moment the eyes collided, Lin Xiang could already feel a strong hostility and coldness emitting from the three survivors. The nail rod and gun held in their hands were swinging slightly, slowly turning towards the direction opposite the front of the car.

"If you don't want to die here, it's better to get in the car right away———"

Lin Xiang pushed open the car door and jumped off, spreading his hands without weapons expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The smell of blood here is too strong. In a few minutes, all the mutant beasts in the entire wilderness will swarm from all directions. Of course, if you want to die, I will not object———"

The three men and women quickly exchanged their eyes, and their narrow centers of their pupils faded away some of their coldness and hostility. They walked out of the rat corpse, and with a little hesitation and alertness, they ran towards the off-road vehicle behind Lin Xiang.

"etc----"

Suddenly, walking at the end, the middle-aged man holding a gunpowder in his hand said in a deep voice: "We must bring Wilk and Johnny, and these rare preys."

As he said that, he pointed to the corpses of giant rats everywhere, and at the same time, he quickly put the gun on his shoulder and carried a man lying horizontally at his feet, half-deadly.

"James, they're dead———"

The man who had already run to the car turned around with the woman, holding a nail in his hand. The tall young man who was about twenty years old shook his head helplessly and said, "We don't have much time, this person is right. The mutant beast will soon smell the bloody smell here. Put them down, Wilk and Johnny are dead."

"I know, but they are food. Especially Johnny, who just turned twelve yesterday. This kind of tender meat can be sold at a high price. And these damn rats can no longer stop me. We risked our hunting for this? We must bring them. Instead of standing there and talking and wasting time, why not come and help me----"

The middle-aged man named James is very stubborn. Although he is only wearing an old suit full of oil and no sleeves, his muscles are strong from his shoulders.

The situation was dangerous, but the man and the woman had no better choice. They looked at each other quickly, suppressed the fear and anger in their hearts, picked up a dead rat from their feet, and threw it into the upper floor of the carriage where the ammunition box occupied the last space.

"Thank you for saving us, we will pay you enough."

The woman has beautiful blonde hair and very white skin. She is obviously not Asian. She has a layer of ashes on her face, which has been malnourished for a long time, making her body look very thin. She struggled to lift a mutant rat corpse that was more than her body length, threw it into the carriage, her chest fluctuated violently, and she gasped, barely showing a friendly smile to Lin Xiang, saying, "Thank you for your name Philna, you guys."

"Move quickly, Philna, we don't have much time———"

The young man next to her rudely interrupted her words. At the same time, he raised his blood-stained face and looked vigilantly at Lin Xiang, whose expression was not fluctuating at all. In his eyes with slightly twitching eyes, fear, tension and hatred were faintly revealed.

The major strode from the side and was about to stop the three people from doing anything, but Lin Xiang gently raised his left hand and shook it, saying lightly: "Let them move it, as much as they can, don't turn off the car, and evacuate it in five minutes."

As he said that, he took out a pack of "marlboro" from his pocket and pulled out a branch to ignite it.

Lin Xiang could understand the middle-aged men's stubborn behavior even at such dangerous moments. The refugees in the wilderness have no fixed food source, and they never miss anything that can be eaten. Even if it is left in feces and undiluted residues and particles, they will wash and eat them again.

He used consciousness energy to detect that these three hunters were ordinary people with no mutation ability. In a moderate environment with a radiation index of more than 150, their normal physiological level could only last for about 40 minutes. After this time limit, the heart's blood supply and endocrine system began to be disordered, the brain consciousness became blurred, and the damaged central nervous system would gradually lose its most basic perception ability. After the stay time exceeds 200 minutes, the body lost its ability to move and fell into a coma. Next, it was to face death directly.

Even those who can leave within the forty-minute time limit will still be severely invaded by the body organs. This change usually occurs three to six days later. It usually manifests as nausea, anorexia, numbness in the limbs, and strong reactions may even die on a large scale throughout the body and dehydration. If treated at this time with anti-radiation agents, although it will not die on the spot, the damaged internal organs will be difficult to recover. The lifespan that could have survived for about fifty years may only last for half a year, with a maximum of no more than twelve months.

In addition to the above factors, mutated creatures that are active in the moderate radiation area have stronger physiques, more fierce and bloodthirsty temperaments. In short, if it were not forcing the desperate situation, ordinary people would not be able to enter the moderate radiation area to hunt at night.

Lin Xiang did not become angry at the middle-aged man's attitude of not expressing gratitude at all. In the old era, he personally experienced the life of struggling at the bottom of society, and also witnessed the embarrassment that many men could not even take out two taels of pork in their pockets.

The environment is different, but in order to survive, humans will always burst into crazy thoughts that they don’t even dare to think about in order to survive.

All they need is just a few pieces of meat to fill their stomachs.

This thing may not be worth a lot in the eyes of the Longteng Legis soldiers who have produced a wealthy Longteng Legislature. Lin Xiang does not think that the woman named Firna can give her "reward" that satisfies her. These dirty pieces of meat that look like garbage, are not, to be precise, contaminated corpses, and eating them in their stomachs can easily bring about various incurable diseases. But they may be the biggest reliance for these people to survive in the next few months.

There were rat corpses piled up everywhere on the top of the car, with dirty and smelly pus and blood, and internal organs slowly flowing down the groove marks on the surface of the car. The off-road vehicle with a beautiful metallic luster was painted into a dark red, and even yellow and black rat feces emitting foul smell.

Finally, he took a sip of the cigarette butt with one-third left, bent his fingers, and bounced a shiny arc in the dark. Lin Xiang opened the car door and entered the cab. He was about to step on the clutch, but unexpectedly saw the middle-aged man holding the last rat corpse and throwing it on the roof of the car. He quickly ran to the cigarette butt he threw it away, picked it up, and carefully pressed it off on a stone, put it in his close chest bag with an expression of excitement and ecstasy.

In the distance, there were noisy footsteps and crazy howlings filled with hunger.

Shaking his head, Lin Xiang looked at Firna who was sitting in the car from the back mirror, and said casually: "Where is the entrance to the underground residence?"

"You, how did you know we live underground?"

The woman subconsciously covered half of her face with her hair, revealing a young face of about eighteen or nineteen years old, and asked in surprise.

Lin Xiang turned his gaze calmly and found that the young man sitting next to Firna was staring at him. Obviously, he had discovered that this piece was hanging from the roof of the car and had the function of a reflective mirror.

Calculated from the time the radiation detector changes, the convoy has entered the moderate radiation area for about twenty kilometers. No ordinary person can run this long distance in forty minutes. The soldiers responsible for the observation along the way have not noticed any abnormality. It should be admitted that these hunters are indeed fearless. But the reason why they hunt mutant rats is to eliminate hunger.

In other words, they don’t want to die at all. The strict environmental restrictions, coupled with the various conditions required for survival, can naturally be judged that these sudden hunters obviously did not come from the light radiation area dozens of kilometers away. The only possibility is to live underground.

Lin Xiang saved them and could understand the instinctive hostility and vigilance arising from sudden encounters with strangers. The actions of helping the hunters to transport their prey have changed James and Firna to become friendly. Only the Asian young man still stared at him with hatred and hostile eyes.

It is indeed very strange, but now is not the time to think about this problem—the roar of wild beasts coming from afar is getting louder and louder, and they are already impatient to snatch the flesh and blood residue on the ground as soon as possible.

"Walk north along the bushes, where there is a tunnel entrance———"

Looking at the blurry and chaotic black shadow reflected by the headlights, Firna's face had just recovered from a trace of blood and turned pale in an instant. She suddenly stood up, grabbed the handrail behind the seat, stretched out her right arm and pointed directly in front of the front of the car, screaming at the top of her lungs: "Hurry up———"

"Cruff———"

While the accelerator was stepped to the bottom, the tires driven by mechanical force also began to rotate at high speed. Loose sand and stones were raised high from the ground. The off-road vehicle rushed out like a wild horse that broke free from reins. With the large area of ​​Mars rubbing against the ground, it ran rapidly towards the north.

The light shines a huge black shadow lying across the wilderness.

It was an old-age double-decker bus with a mottled surface paint layer, a tire that had lost its tyres and turned toward the side.

"You can see the tunnel by going around. Someone is following you, and they will wait for us for another sixteen minutes————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The violent bumps in the car body caused the unexpected Philna's body to hit the back of the driver's chair and rebounded and fell to the back seat of the car. The huge physical energy that penetrated the body made the muscles feel sore and painful, but she still tried her best to control the desire to cry, and grabbed the handle on the edge of the car window, roaring wildly to the tone of the roaring off-road vehicle engine as much as possible.

Lin Xiang stepped on the brakes hard, so that the vehicle body would drift in an instant stall state while keeping the direction unchanged. The moment the headlight flashed through the bus wreckage, a cement base with a loss of the surface arch cover also appeared in the center of his sight. The long years caused cracks to appear on the surface cement layer, and the rising shrubs and grass made it difficult for people to see clearly the true face of this small square in the dark. In the middle of the broken base, a long narrow passage tilted to connect the ground. Although it was a step-shaped walking trail, in the vertical recess, a large amount of soil and collapsed bricks had been filled to smooth the slope for vehicles to enter.

The off-road vehicle rushed into the tunnel, and the dazzling lights hit the bottom of the slope, revealing several panicked strange faces, and two thick metal doors slowly closing from the left and right sides.

Lin Xiang seemed to have not seen these hunters in charge of receiving the response, and the accelerator under his feet was not loose at all. The two off-road vehicles roared and rushed through the gap between the crowd until they rushed to the back of the door that was about to be closed. The body of the vehicle twisted a deep arc on the ground under the action of the brakes and stopped steadily.

"Bang————”

The car door was suddenly pushed open, and Philna, with a pale complexion, staggered from the car, held the ground with both hands tightly, his eyes widened, and his tightly bitten mouth suddenly widened, and he vomited out a mass of fishy, ​​nauseating yellow water from his stomach that was churning like sulfuric acid.

James, who had just walked out of another car, was not much better than her. The burly middle-aged man's legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground and gasped desperately, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

It is difficult for ordinary people to withstand such strong shock and mechanical storm and impact. Unlike evolutionary soldiers, their fragile bodies will instinctively react to external energy. The most direct manifestation is vomiting and dizziness.

The young man finally walked out of the carriage. Although his face was pale, he did not show the exhausted tiredness of Firna and James. He still stared at Lin Xiang with vigilant and hostile eyes, silently looking coldly.

Two tracks extending along both sides of the wide cement platform indicate that this is a subway station left over from the old era.

The dusty wall lamp on the top of the platform has been broken, and the only source of light is a gasoline barrel with flames rising next to the passage.

“Welcome to Sukakabalachia————”

This is James' introduction. Although this experienced middle-aged hunter did not know the actual identity of Lin Xiang and others, he saw with a sophisticated perspective that these strange outsiders who had never met were not hostile. They were well-equipped, and the two off-road vehicles were definitely not something ordinary people could possess. As for the style, uniforms with unified materials, only strong family institutions will equip their subordinates with these.

To put it in an old saying from the old times————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The survival rules of the wasteland world are simple and transparent. As long as there is no dispute of interest, they can coexist. Although no one thinks that this kind of vague relationship that can change the state of enemy and us at any time can develop and evolve into the word "friend".

James did not want Lin Xiang and others to come to Sukaka Balachia. But these strangers saved their lives and transported back a large number of fresh meat. The verbal thanks must be expressed. As for the world built by Philna Chengpiao astronomy and the subway tunnel, radiation cannot penetrate the soil layer and spread to the inside of the tunnel. It is said that a trainee with African blood discovered this place. With the remaining pronunciation and civilization consciousness in his brain, he creatively invented this place.

The heavy metal door has been closed, and these two pieces of steel that need to be opened with a gear winch, possessing the unimaginable hardness of the wild beasts in the wilderness that rely on teeth and claws to capture prey.

Eleven giant rats, plus two human corpses. This is the entire result of this hunt.
