Chapter 570 Cockroaches Have Magical Effects?
According to the predetermined contact method, Frank, the leader of the 'mutants', finally joined the 'zombie' Bill with the rest of his men. When the two groups met again, they were surprised by what happened to each other.
After Frank returned, he grabbed a radiation cockroach on the ground without saying a word, tore off its head with force, and began to gnaw on the mutated creature's flesh. The men who came back with it did the same, desperately replenishing food, eating and drinking.
Regarding the radiation cockroaches that his allies ate him, 'Zombie' Bill remained silent. It didn't speak slowly until the other party was full: "Have you been chased?"
"Yes." The stout Frank said in a low voice. He sat on a fallen tree trunk, touched the dozen or so bullet holes on his body, and said angrily: "The opponent is very strong. I lost two companions, and the injuries are at least ten." It will take many days to recover. You seem to have lost a lot."
"Yeah, only half of my men escaped with me, and the rest were killed by some heavy artillery in the stronghold." Bill, the 'zombie' with a face like a skeleton, didn't sigh or feel depressed, just stating the facts, "That stronghold It should be that we have received reinforcements in the past two days, otherwise we would not have suffered such a big defeat."
"My companion alerted me before he died. It said that we met the head of the Aurora Legion." Frank said, but it was not very sure about the news.
"Aurora Legion? Legion Commander?" Bill the Zombie was very surprised. "That guy named Victor Hugo? Why did he come to us?"
A group of mutated humans looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on?
At this moment, at the place where the 'mutant' was attacked, Zhou Qingfeng and more than 20 men were surrounding the battlefield to investigate carefully. They tried to restore the battle scene that just happened, and evaluated the combat capabilities of the 'mutants' in detail.
"Four of us died and two were injured. All of them were casualties caused by failing to suppress the opponent or being suppressed by the opponent during the exchange of fire."
"Six mutants, all equipped with large firearms and heavy weapons. Calculated based on the items left on the scene, each mutant can carry at least 150 kilograms of load for combat."
"These guys are still very mobile in the field under such a heavy load. They are brave and tenacious in combat, and they fight very well. They cooperate very well. They dare to fight and fight hard, and they are full of sacrifice."
"They retreat very quickly, we can't catch up at all. And I suspect that their bodies are also very capable of self-recovery. Many fatal injuries to ordinary people, they don't care at all."
"The last point is that the .223 rifle bullets we use now have no sure-kill effect on mutants. Their bodies are too strong, with extremely solid muscles and bones, several times stronger than normal humans."
Katerina was in charge of recording, summarizing, and reporting, while Zhou Qingfeng frowned at the current situation. He almost gave up his plan to enter Baltimore. If the mutants in the city were so brave, rushing in would be death.
"Collect the corpses of these two mutants and our soldiers, and wait for the transport plane to arrive and transport them back to Havana. We should study how to deal with these mutant humans." Zhou Qingfeng ordered on the radio, transferred from the stronghold overnight Dozens of people cleaned the battlefield.
This matter was tossed all night, and it was not completed until dawn.
When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the stronghold, the sky had just revealed a little light. There is still a smell of gunpowder smoke outside the stronghold. On the ground were a large number of radiated cockroaches that had been blasted to death by the artillery fire. Some of these mutated giant worms were not completely dead, and their sickle feet trembled a few times from time to time.
Those who followed Zhou Qingfeng as lookout posts on the fence were all dead, either by snipers outside the stronghold or by bugs.
In addition, in the less than 20 minutes of fighting last night, more than 30 people were killed or injured in the stronghold. Some of them were killed by the attack of radiated cockroaches, and most of them were killed by the butcher's supervisor team.
More than 5% of the casualties in the stronghold, and more than 10% of the casualties of the action team, generally speaking, the morale was greatly hit. Especially those stronghold residents,
When the corpses were collected, each of them seemed to have lost their souls, weak and weak.
But when they saw Zhou Qingfeng come back, these guys at least regained some morale. One by one stood up straight blankly, looking at their new leader, as if waiting to accept an order.
But what really rejuvenated the stronghold was the appearance of two 'mutant' corpses. Seeing that this terrifying monster was defeated and carried back, the residents in the stronghold couldn't help talking.
"My God, this is a mutant."
"It's really scary. You can see that their heads are extremely ugly, just like the half-orcs in fantasy novels."
"I heard that this kind of monster is not afraid of bullets at all. It is an extremely terrifying existence."
"Our new leader doesn't seem to have many people with him. He actually dared to chase them out overnight after being attacked, and even killed all the mutants."
"God, we finally have a kind and capable leader. This is good news."
If Zhou Qingfeng showed his generosity and kindness by giving food and killing the old leader yesterday, then the results of this night showed that he is still a strong and capable leader. Under the combination of grace and power, the remaining people in the stronghold are more convinced and cohesive towards Zhou Qingfeng.
"Sir, should we collect these radiation cockroaches?" Some residents boldly suggested to Zhou Qingfeng.
"Want to store these bugs as food?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the battlefield. There were three to four hundred irradiated cockroaches that had been killed, and they were scattered all over the place. reserve."
Zhou Qingfeng understood that any food is extremely precious now, so he took it for granted that the residents were frightened of hunger. But the resident who made the suggestion quickly said: "Sir, these irradiated cockroaches are a huge fortune, and it would be too wasteful to use them as food."
"Oh?" These words made Zhou Qingfeng very curious, "What's the use of these giant insects?"
"The nutritional value of irradiated cockroach meat is very high, but the key is that some special glands in its body have very magical medicinal value, which is very effective in healing many injuries. The Brotherhood of Steel has been buying them at high prices. A complete irradiated cockroach can In exchange for one hundred kilograms of flour."
"Really?" The words of the residents in the stronghold opened up a new world for Zhou Qingfeng. He asked in surprise, "Are you sure this thing can be used as medicine?"
"We are sure that this thing is really extremely expensive. However, because radiated cockroaches always move in groups, it is very difficult to catch one. I have never seen the number of three or four hundred like this before. If you report them together, the Iron Brothers There will even be a special helicopter to take it away."
After hearing these descriptions, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help thinking to himself: Could it be that I made another fortune by playing crookedly? If this thing really had miraculous healing effects, I wouldn't have given it to the Brotherhood of Steel.
