At night, bonfires were lit at the Newmagitt outpost near Baltimore. These flares will be used to illuminate any suspicious objects trying to approach the stronghold, and the stronghold guards can judge whether to shoot at their own discretion.
And in the stronghold, maybe it was because of the medicines paid by the action team, maybe because I felt that I was strong enough, or maybe because I felt that the action team was strong enough, anyway, the leader of this stronghold, Hoffman, allowed Zhou Qingfeng to lead the team into the stronghold. Inside the stronghold, and drew a campsite for them.
This is an armed stronghold of more than 500 people, completely militarized management. Most of the members are young and strong, there are no old people and children, and there are few women. Occasionally, a few women seem to be configured to meet the physiological needs of men. All the people here are unkempt, Disheveled. For several months, they obviously haven't been able to obtain enough supplies to improve their lives, and they don't even have complete heating equipment.
Compared with the desolation outside the stronghold, the inside of the stronghold is dilapidated, dirty, and chaotic. All kinds of cold gazes from the corners of the building will make the timid feel inexplicably shivering. The people in the action team thought that Havana was bad enough after the nuclear bomb, but they didn't expect it to be worse here.
"We are an outpost of the Brotherhood of Steel, specially used to monitor the movement of various mutant creatures in the city. Do you think we are willing to stay here? We have no choice but to serve here to survive.
We are a militia organization, and the Brotherhood will send us supplies once a month to ensure that we will not starve to death, that we can persist, and that the mutant creatures in the city will not be flooded.
Do you think the 'zombies' encountered on the road are scary? Hahaha..., those are trivial matters, what is really scary are those 'zombies' and 'mutants' staying in the city. There are at least tens of thousands of them.
'Zombies' move slowly, and their strength and agility are poor, but they have a strong ability to survive, and they can live for a long time after eating food once. Their bodies are broken but their minds are not broken, they are the best lurkers. Yes, they can also operate weapons, so don't underestimate them.
'Mutants' are violent fighters. No one is less than two meters tall. They are extremely strong, agile, strong in strength and endurance. It takes more than a dozen rounds of ordinary .223 caliber rifle bullets to hit them. . They are natural super soldiers and no one wants to mess with them. "
A bottle of 'Supreme' brandy made Hoffman, the leader in the stronghold, open up the conversation. Zhou Qingfeng took Katerina and others to listen to the situation in Baltimore in the meeting hall of the stronghold. To put it simply, the city is quickly becoming a paradise for all kinds of mutated creatures.
"Hasn't the Brotherhood of Steel ever thought about getting rid of these mutant creatures?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
Hoffman waved the wine bottle, shrugged and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't do it. Let me say again, 'zombies' and 'mutants' are not brainless, they also know how to unite against humans. It is said that the Brotherhood and the 'Mutants' The Enclave tried to clean up the mutated garbage, but with great difficulty.
By the way, you have to be careful of a creature called 'Death Claw'. It is said that this thing evolved from lizards. Although the number is relatively small, it is also a terrifying monster with high IQ. When it goes crazy, it is more powerful than a 'mutant'. "
According to Hoffman's description, it is now very difficult to enter any city in North America. No wonder the 'Enclave' rushed to enter Mexico, probably because of the current situation. But Zhou Qingfeng didn't retreat, he still asked: "Is there anyone here who can be my guide? I'm willing to pay a fair amount."
"You still want to go to Baltimore?" Hoffman felt that he had said so many terrible things that it was time to discourage people from entering Baltimore. But seeing Mr. Hugo in front of him being so persistent, he could only whisper, "Maybe I can help you, but I have a request."
"Tell me." Zhou Qingfeng calmly waited for the other party to make a request.
"For the safety of the stronghold,
We will regularly clean up the mutant creatures around the stronghold, but we have been having a little trouble recently. A den of mutated creatures appeared two kilometers away from us, and they often ran out to harass us. "
"many?"
"There were not many in the beginning, but the frightening thing is that a 'zombie' sniper appeared among them. We don't even know where that thing is hiding? It has already shot and killed more than a dozen of our militiamen, and made the mutated creatures in the den now More and more, it has seriously affected the security of our stronghold."
"Did you take a fancy to the assault gun in our team?"
"That's right, your assault guns are armored, rush over and find that damned 'zombie' sniper and blast it to death. As long as you clean up the hideout of this mutant creature, I can lead more than a hundred militiamen to take you to Baltimore .Of course, we only go outside the city, and we are determined not to enter the city. The city is a hundred times more terrifying than the outside!"
Speaking of the city, Hoffman's wrinkled face revealed an expression of uncontrollable fear, obviously having had a terrible experience. Zhou Qingfeng only said lightly that he had to think about it, but then asked: "What do mutant creatures in the wild and in the city do for a living?"
"Rely on corpses, human corpses." Hoffman lowered his head when he talked about this matter, horrified and frustrated, "After a nuclear winter, a large number of people died, and corpses can be kept for a long time at low temperatures. And there are more corpses in cities, so those The mutated creatures are all running into the city."
"But no matter how many corpses there are, they can't bear the consumption for a few months?"
"So those mutated creatures are rushing outwards. The situation in Baltimore is not bad, and it is said that the situation in New York is the worst. The mutated creatures have begun to form groups of hundreds or thousands, attacking human settlements and shelters in the wild .They eat everything they can eat and leave nothing behind.
The Brotherhood of Steel organized a large number of suppression teams to hunt mutant creatures in New York. This war has lasted for a month, but they still haven't completely wiped out these damned monsters.
So if you want to help us, we will help you. I see you're obviously from somewhere else, well equipped but inexperienced. And we have a lot of people, so we have a lot of ways to deal with mutant creatures. Of course, it would be even better if you could help us with some weapons. "
The conversation lasted until late at night, and Hoffman always wanted Zhou Qingfeng to support them with a batch of supplies. In the end, this guy drank four or five bottles of brandy, got himself drunk and slept next to the bonfire in the meeting hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qingfeng sighed, turned around and left the meeting room. Katerina caught up and said: "These people have no hope, their biggest goal is to live a few more days.
I bet, once we help clear up any 'zombie' snipers, that guy named Hoffman will definitely find a way to shirk our help, and even set various conditions to disgust or even threaten us. "
In the cold night, when dripping water turns into ice, Zhou Qingfeng looked up at the dark sky. Under the light of the surrounding bonfires, he said with a stern face: "I really didn't expect things to be so troublesome. The current situation is not as simple as 'driving into the city, collecting things and leaving'. This guy named Hoffman is unreliable. , but the manpower of this stronghold cannot be wasted."
In war, cannon fodder is needed at any time. (To be continued.)
