Once the Mudcrab Queen is killed, the battle is basically over.
Jiesexing led a group of people to finish the work. There were people standing next to them gesturing on the ground with tools. In the crowd, there was a man with glasses who was writing something with a pen. From time to time, he would turn his head to discuss something with Jiesexing.
Casualties in the battle were smaller than anyone had expected.
You know, mud crabs are also considered to be monsters at the top of the food chain in the wasteland world. If a ghoul runs into their territory, it will be eaten. But no one was killed today, just a few people were injured accidentally. The biggest credit must be Su Ziyu. If he hadn't sniped the mud crab queen, the big guy would have basically been a massacre when he rushed in, and ordinary people would have been crushed into minced meat by its huge body.
Others began to clean up the battlefield, and some of them took axes to chop the claws of mud crabs.
They basically don't want the bounty for this hunting mission, but they also have their own share of the profits, which is the meat of these mud crabs. If all of them are taken out, they can be worth thousands of bottle caps.
"Thank you very much this time." Jiesexing walked over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder.
He waved to the person next to him, handed him a crude map, and said, "I know you want to get a better weapon. Qin Yu has already told me."
"I used some connections to get this thing."
Jie Se pointed to a gathering place on the map and said in a deep voice, "Here. If you want to go to the North Star, you must go north."
"This is a rather special gathering place called the Ghoul Club."
"You go find a man nicknamed 'Dr. Ghoul'. He has some weapons that you will definitely like."
At this point, Jie Se lowered his voice and said, "It is said that he has a Gauss sniper rifle."
"But this guy's asking a high price."
Doctor Ghoul?
Su Ziyu's expression was a little surprised, but after hearing about the Gauss sniper rifle, he couldn't help but be moved.
The Gauss sniper rifle is said to be a weapon that uses electromagnetic energy, a magnetic storm technology developed during the Cold War. Many powerful technologies were developed in the old world of this plane. Many Cold War researches are still very advanced. The nuclear energy technology tree was very high at that time. This sniper rifle fires a unique electromagnetic bullet. It takes a few seconds to charge each time it fires, but its power is quite amazing, and its accuracy is far superior to other firearms. It can completely ignore external factors such as wind speed and humidity.
However, it also has its disadvantages, that is, it can only fire one shot at a time, and it takes about 2 seconds to recharge after firing a shot.
"Thank you." Su Ziyu took it.
"Why are you being so polite?" Jiesexing laughed and whispered, "Be careful when you get there, that place is a bit weird, some people like to lock up corpses for research."
"There's a guy from Chinatown over there, nicknamed Mountain Cannon. You can find him at the tavern."
"Um."
"If he's not dead by now."
"Give him some money, he can help you a lot."
Su Ziyu nodded to show that he understood, then reached out and picked up his daughter, and turned around and walked outside with Mattie. These people had already started to slaughter and dissect the mud crabs. The scene looked a bit bloody, with large streams of dark blue blood flowing out. It would be better for the two girls not to stay here and watch.
“Wait a minute!”
"Let's take some crab meat back and grill it!" Mattie said greedily.
She used to make a living alone in an elk gathering place, and the food she ate was definitely not very good. When she saw the crab meat of the mud crab, she suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Take it." Jiesese walked over holding a crab claw that was more than one meter long and fifty centimeters in diameter.
The heavy weight almost made Mattie drop it, but Su Ziyu reached out to support it and then directly lifted it. The Queen of the Mud Crab has a higher level of radiation contamination, and its meat may need to be processed before it can be eaten. There were two or three people chopping with knives. After chopping for several minutes, they only cut off a small limb. Suddenly someone couldn't help complaining: "Who brought the cutter?"
"Who can cut this damn thing?"
"Do you have an axe?"
"Can you find me a good one? Damn it! I should have brought my chainsaw!"
The entire battle took less than ten minutes, but they might not be able to finish cleaning up the corpses of the mud crabs until tomorrow. Fortunately, Jie Se brought some frozen tools with him.
There were cooking supplies on the convoy side.
Su Ziyu had never done this before, but Jie Se came back quickly. He took a big hammer and first broke the crab claws a little bit, then started to make a fire and grill the meat. He smiled and said, "I've eaten a mud crab cake made by a chef before, and it tasted really good."
"But my grilled spicy crab is also delicious."
A hint of fragrance gradually permeated the air.
The people working over there smelled the crab claws and became hungry. Soon they each carried some crab claws back to cook. Suddenly the whole convoy was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
"We'll probably be busy until tomorrow." Jiesexing said as he grilled crab claws, "If you're in a hurry, you can just drive that car and leave."
“That’s my car.”
"There are three large barrels of gasoline in the trunk, which should be enough for you to use the North Star."
"There are also foods to eat."
"But you may need to add a few more points on the way."
This big monk usually looks careless, but he is actually very careful. Just by looking at the way he prepared the Su Ziyu, you can tell that he had already considered the current situation.
"Here." Jiesexing pried open the crab claws and handed two pieces of roasted crab meat to Su Ying and Mattie next to him, smiling and saying, "Be careful with the heat."
"I'll let Zhao Ang go back with you later."
"Go to the elk camp and collect the bounty and you can go."
Very fragrant and tender.
The taste was even better than expected. Su Ziyu had never enjoyed crab so much in her life. The upper part of the crab claw alone was enough for one or two people to eat. Both girls were a little full. Mattie was so full that she kept touching her stomach and felt it was a little inconvenient to walk.
"Don't eat any more."
"We'll take some back later." There was a hint of pity in Su Ziyu's eyes.
It is really not easy for a girl of fifteen or sixteen to survive alone in the wasteland. Judging from the way she eats, she probably hasn't had a big meal for a long time.
"Take them back? Then I'll pick out a few big ones." Mattie stood up happily.
She just left.
The little girl leaned close to Su Ziyu's ear and begged softly, "Dad, can we take Mattie with us to Polaris?"
"She is all alone here too."
Um.
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Is she willing to go? Going to North Star this time is no safer than staying in the Elk Camp."
"Yes." The little girl nodded affirmatively and said, "I'll tell her on the way." That's fine.
If Maddie is willing to go with them, Su Ziyu feels that she can be taken along. It will be so so for her to stay alone in the elk camp anyway. After Su Ziyu leaves, it will probably be difficult for her to make a living.
Time passes by little by little.
After dinner, Su Ziyu shook hands with Jiesexing and said goodbye, then drove a car with the little girl and Maddie back to the elk camp. Zhao Ang drove another car with someone else, and it was already midnight when they returned.
The lights were still on in Max's pub.
Su Ziyu's process of getting the bounty went smoothly. After noticing that the two girls were a little sleepy, he took them to the Chinese area to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
The off-road vehicle modified by Jiese had good performance, and Su Ziyu drove it quite smoothly. The two girls in the back were whispering to each other, and after a while they felt a little sleepy, so they leaned against each other and fell asleep.
The surrounding scene was extremely desolate.
Occasionally you will pass by some ruins on the road. They are all the remains of towns from the old times. Basically all the resources that can be looted have been taken away, and now only empty shells are left.
It takes about a day to drive from here to the Ghoul Club. If there are no problems on the road, it will probably take two or three days to get to Polaris.
at the same time.
In a foggy bay, an explosion was suddenly heard on an isolated island.
Rumble.
After the dull explosion, five or six warriors wearing exoskeleton armor retreated from the fog, firing as they retreated. Something could be vaguely seen in the crackling flames. They were some huge monsters with strange tentacles.
“Damn it!”
"My exoskeleton armor is running out of energy." One of the soldiers took off his helmet and turned around and asked, "Boss! Do you have any nuclear fusion batteries left?"
At this time, a calm male voice came and said, "Let's retreat back to the island first."
"Those monsters are still around."
The team quickly retreated to the island.
There is a huge ruin inside the island, which seems to be a military base that has been abandoned for a long time. There are some freshly dug graves next to it. When the group passed by here, their expressions were a little sad.
"Leon."
"Has the distress signal really been sent out?" A slightly hoarse female voice came, and then she took off her helmet, revealing a mature and beautiful face. She looked very tired and said slowly: "Why hasn't the Brotherhood's rescue arrived yet?"
"Our supplies won't last much longer."
The man walking in front also took off his helmet. He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Pasha. Trust me."
"The distress signal must have been sent out."
"The supplies can last another week. There is an abandoned aircraft carrier nearby. I will take some people over there in a couple of days to take a look. Maybe we can find some resources."
A dilapidated building appeared before our eyes.
When the group returned here, they immediately heard the painful screams coming from inside. Leon's face changed almost instantly. He rushed in and held down a crazy man, shouting, "Bernie, calm down!"
"Ignore those weird noises!"
"Look at me."
“Concentrate!”
In this dilapidated house, a burly man had a look of pain on his face. He was pinching his neck, his face flushed red, and his mind seemed to be in chaos.
"He has been contaminated by those ghost things."
Pasha watched all this silently, then pulled out the pistol from her waist and said slowly, "Let's give him a quick death."
Leon waved his hand to knock her pistol away, his eyes slightly red as he glared at Pasha beside him, then turned around and knocked the suffering man unconscious.
"We are running low on supplies."
"He's beyond saving." Another deep male voice came, and a burly man walked to the corner and fiddled with his gun, saying slowly: "His final outcome will definitely be the same as the others."
"We can only survive if we leave this damn place."
There was a brief moment of dead silence.
The man who had just been knocked unconscious by Leon suddenly opened his eyes again. His pupils were tinged with blood, his expression was distorted and hideous, and there were a lot of blue blood vessels on his face, just like the zombie he had seen before. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Leon's head.
Bang.
A gunshot rang out.
Leon slowly put down the pistol, said nothing, and turned into one of the rooms.
Boom boom boom.
There were sounds of smashing and smashing in the room as if to vent anger.
Pasha watched all this quietly, then pushed the door and entered another room. There were seven or eight exoskeleton-powered armors placed in this room, but the nuclear fusion battery parts had been removed. There were some mottled bloodstains in the corners of the room, and no one had cleaned them for a long time.
"I must live."
"Sakura is still waiting for me to come back!... I must get out alive!..." Pasha's expression seemed to be a little painful, and she covered her head and murmured.
A few tiny blue blood vessels appeared under her neck. Pasha turned around and took out a needle, inserted it directly into her neck and injected it. After about five or six minutes, her expression gradually calmed down.
The heavy exoskeleton power armor was removed. Pasha sat down on the bed tiredly and took out a heart-shaped pendant.
Inside was a photo of Su Ying, who was much younger, probably taken when she was seven or eight years old.
The little girl smiled brightly, like a little angel descended to the earth.
Pasha stared at the photo for a while, then stood up and took off her combat uniform, revealing a pair of white bionic arms. Unlike those crude mechanical prostheses, Pasha's gradually revealed body was almost identical to that of a normal human, even the joints of her fingers looked almost the same. However, under the flesh-colored bionic skin, all the bones were replaced with extremely hard alloys.
Of the sixty or seventy people in the entire team, only five are alive today, and almost all of them have undergone some degree of bionic transformation.
Everyone else is dead.
