Chapter 191 Mutated Snake (33)
But is there really such a suitable weapon?
Lan Jin didn't have any hope at all.
When I arrived at the dormitory, it was basically the same base specifications as J City, with capsule rooms with upper and lower bunks. It was also not time to get off work, so there were only a few people in the dormitory and it was very quiet.
The only difference was that Lan Jin and Ling Jiang switched beds, she slept on the lower bunk and Ling Jiang moved to the upper bunk.
After knowing the bed locations, the two of them took a quick look at them for a while and then went downstairs to meet up with Lao Gao and the others.
The four of them went to the shopping mall without hesitation.
The three-story shopping mall has a more detailed division. The first floor is the daily necessities counter, which includes toiletries, cosmetics and the like. The second floor is clothing products, including men's, women's and children's clothing. The third floor is some building materials and household items, such as beds, mattresses, four-piece sets, wardrobes, shoe cabinets...
But after they walked around here, the four of them were confused. Where were the weapons? They didn’t see any open counter. Are there no weapons for sale here?
But actually, that’s not the case. Weapons are available, but they are not sold in shopping malls at all.
Each base has its own rules. Due to the terrain of H City, the surrounding danger factor is relatively high. Weapons are sold to the outside world, but they are not sold publicly. The people above will evaluate how much value you will get from using the weapons. If the people above approve, you can purchase them by paying the corresponding contribution points.
This news made them feel a little embarrassed.
However, after Lao Gao inquired again, he found out that there was more than one way to obtain weapons. The base would issue some tasks from time to time, and the team would go out to complete them. The supplies brought back from hunting could not only be exchanged for contribution points, but the team ranked first could also obtain the corresponding weapons.
Of course, only those groups that stay in the base for a long time are eligible to participate. Otherwise, the strong ones will take the weapons and run away, and basic safety will still not be guaranteed. Aren’t these rules set by the base to protect the safety of its own base?
Therefore, these two rules seem unrealistic for them.
The four of them walked to the first floor door in disappointment. Before they could say anything, the loudspeakers in the hallway immediately broadcast: "Comrades, please pay attention! Dangerous creatures have been spotted outside the base. Please close the doors and windows as soon as possible and do not go out..."
Before the broadcast was over, the door of the shopping mall was immediately closed tightly. The action was so swift.
Passersby in the corridor were also running quickly, trying to find a place to hide.
After this broadcast was played three times in a row, the surroundings became completely quiet, and the entire base seemed particularly quiet.
Except for the door, of course.
Huang Jinghe had never seen such a scene before. He spoke carefully, "The rabbit just now didn't make this broadcast. It can't be a rabbit. Could it be some other mutant species?"
Lan Jin said, "Let's go out and take a look. If we can solve the problem, we'll do it. What if we can get some contribution points? Besides, don't we have to go to them to buy weapons? We might as well get close to them."
Although the situation reported on the radio was very urgent, the four of them had never experienced such things before and didn't know what to be afraid of for a moment.
Speaking of mutant species, they have only seen mutated rabbits. There is nothing wrong in taking this opportunity to see the world. If they can solve it, it will be regarded as helping the base complete a task. If they cannot complete it, it is because they are not capable enough and the base will not blame them.
Even though they said so, none of the four took the initiative to move.
Ling Jiang was impatient and didn't want to be wasted. She quickly asked, "Then let's go to the door and take a look. No matter what it is, let's see what it is like."
As soon as they finished speaking, a group of four people trotted to the door.
When they arrived at the door, they found that the base had two doors. The outer door was the very heavy door they had seen before, which had been replaced because of the rabbit.
There is a dividing line at the place where body temperature is measured. There is a transparent protective door on this dividing line. People inside the door can see the situation outside at a glance, because the top of the door does not reach the ceiling, but people can enter and exit freely from the top.
When they came over, several soldiers were climbing on top and pouring some unknown liquid down.
When they saw the scene outside through the gap, they got goosebumps all over their bodies, because outside, there were densely packed mutated snakes.
The snakes were not very big, each one was about 1 meter long, but they were completely red, with a shiny gem-like thing on their heads, and they kept spitting out their tongues at them in the transparent protective door. They looked as disgusting as they could be.
Lan Jin wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was really scared of snakes. Furthermore, they were densely packed together for several meters. Lan Jin immediately took several steps back in fright. "Oh, I'm most afraid of snakes. They're so disgusting."
Ling Jiang was very surprised and said, "You are afraid of snakes."
Lan Jin nodded. "I'm afraid of animals without legs or with many legs."
Snakes are naturally one of them, but she eats snake meat and thinks it tastes good, so as long as she doesn't see a live one, it's fine.
Lan Jin saw Brother Zhang standing nearby and immediately called out to him, asking about the situation. "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, are these things poisonous?"
When Brother Zhang saw them, he immediately walked over and said with a wry smile, "It's extremely poisonous. Anyone stung by its tail will die within a minute. Look at its tail, it's like a spike, and the poison is all there."
Speaking of tails, they hadn't noticed it before. After Brother Zhang said that, the four of them actually looked over and found that the tails of these snakes were really very sharp.
"However," Brother Zhang paused and continued, "that gem on top of its head is a valuable asset. It's not actually a gem, but a crystal, which can provide energy to those with special abilities. Furthermore, if this snake is prepared properly, it can be a delicious delicacy, and...it has extremely high nutritional value."
Huang Jinghe asked in confusion, "This protective wall isn't even up to the top. Aren't you afraid they could climb in?"
Brother Zhang said, "They can't crawl in. Snakes are snakes after all, and they are afraid of realgar. The outer surface of this protective door is treated with realgar every day. Realgar has just been poured on the protective door. Anyway, no one has ever been able to get in before using this method."
But having said that, Brother Zhang didn't really relax. After all, even if there were snakes before, there weren't so many of them. This time there were really too many of them, and it was not certain whether the realgar could be kept.
Brother Zhang frowned and thought about something, then looked at the four of them. However, before Brother Zhang could speak, the four of them squeezed to the front of the protective door and started talking together.
