Journey to the Witch World

Chapter 531 Mechanical Arm

Hours passed quickly.

Perhaps because of eating a biscuit, Enzo's strength gradually recovered, so he reached out and lifted up his tattered shirt. There was a scratch on his abdomen, which was a scar left by a zombie.

At the entrance to the ruins cave, Uriah's face became increasingly ugly.

Wow!

Suddenly, there was a sound of rain outside, and Uriah's expression suddenly changed. In the doomsday wasteland, even rainwater contains radiation. If caught by the rain, it is likely to cause various diseases and even mutations.

"Damn it, why aren't you back yet?" Uriah was a little anxious.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Uriah looked around and saw the figures of Wayne and others, so she quickly opened the entrance to the ruins cave.

"Haha! Look what we found."

Even before entering the cave, you can feel Wayne's joy. Four people got in one after another, each dragging a lot of loot.

"Eh? Enzo? You're awake!!"

At this time, Wayne, who had just entered the cave, suddenly saw Enzo not far away, and an even more surprised expression appeared on his face. He quickly ran over and gave him a bear hug, which almost made Enzo breathless.

"Ahem!" The weak Enzo coughed twice.

Wayne quickly let go of his hand, scratched his head and said, "Sorry! Sorry, brother, I was a little too excited."

Enzo chuckled and shook his head.

It can be seen that as the leader of the small team, Wayne has a deep relationship with each member. This kind of relationship is almost more precious than food in the doomsday wasteland.

"That's great."

Wayne still had excitement on his face and said, "Not only did we get a bumper harvest this time, but even Enzo didn't die. I'm so happy."

As he said this, Wayne suddenly remembered something.

He slapped his forehead, took out a dirty apple from his tattered pocket, handed it to Enzo like a treasure, and said with a simple smile: "Try it, brother, this is something that only the upper class humans in the floating city can eat." , this is my first time seeing you.”

Next to them, the expressions of Uriah and others changed.

Fresh fruit is something that almost never appears in the wasteland. This precious resource will only appear on the floating island. They have never even seen it, not to mention eating it, but now it actually appears here.

Enzo took the apple but did not bite it.

Not far away, Uriah seemed hesitant to speak, his face constantly changing. The reason in his heart told him that Enzo should not be allowed to eat the apple, but should be used to exchange it for more resources in the shelter.

But when the words came to her lips, Uriah found it difficult to speak.

After all, he almost killed Enzo just now, but the other party forgave him. It would be really unkind to talk to him now.

"Forget it, let's just let everyone see the world."

Uriah comforted himself in his heart. He had never seen an apple, but he had heard that this kind of thing would emit a refreshing fragrance after being bitten open.

"It's better to keep it."

At this time, Enzo shook his head and said softly, "This thing is in the shelter and can be exchanged for more resources. There is no need to waste it for temporary lust."

Hearing his words, Uriah's eyes flashed with surprise.

He really didn't expect that Enzo could resist the temptation of apples. However, Uriah didn't know that the owner of this body was no longer the Enzo he once was, and apples were worthless to him.

"No, brother."

Next to him, Wayne was a little unhappy and said, "You managed to survive. Eating this thing can help your body recover faster. I have heard before that this kind of thing contains something called nutrition." material.”

"No need, I'm fine."

Enzo shook his head, changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Wayne, you just said you found something, it couldn't be this apple."

Hearing Enzo's question, Wayne suddenly became excited.

"of course not!"

He dragged the rag bag over excitedly and said mysteriously, "Hey! You will never imagine what we picked up in the garbage dump."

With that, Wayne opened the trash bag.

An object with a metallic luster was exposed from inside. Enzo looked at it and saw that it turned out to be something similar to a mechanical arm. Although it was dilapidated, it still seemed valuable.

"This is...a mecha???"

Not far away, Uriah took a breath of air, walked over quickly, leaned over and stroked the metal mechanical arm, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said, "Is this something you picked up in the garbage dump?"

Although Uriah and others were all born in underground shelters.

But those dilapidated murals also record a lot of information, including mechas and firearms. Both are the crystallization of human wisdom, and the former is the basis for human survival after the end of the world.

There are no mechas in underground shelter 72.

Even though Mad Dog Johnny, as the leader, holds at most a flintlock gun in his hands, and usually relies more on force in battles, but three years ago, during the war between the Wilderness Bandits and Underground Vault 53, Uriah saw Passed a mecha once.

That was a scene Uriah could never forget.

The petite woman, piloting a mecha, actually massacred an entire gang without the opponent even being able to fight back. Even the leader of the gang who could kill mutant beasts with one hand could only act with hatred under the powerful firepower of the mecha. die.

It was from that moment that Uriah understood the power of the mecha.

"What a pity... only one arm?"

Yulia muttered to himself, stroking the metal mechanical arm, his expression changing, his yearning for the mecha made him unable to remain calm.

"Hehe! Didn't expect it?"

Wayne said with a smug look on his face, "I spent a lot of effort to get this mechanical arm, and those idiots of the Iron Hand Gang wanted to take it away from me. What a ridiculous group of guys..."

Suddenly, Yulia raised his head abruptly.

"What did you say, Iron Hand Gang?"

"What's wrong?" Wayne was stunned and scratched his head. "It's Iron Hand Theodore and his rubbish. Haven't we fought many times, and we won every time?"

"Hey! Yulia, you're not scared, are you?"

"Theodore has only four people, I can beat them all by myself. Even if the Iron Hand Gang dares to come to us, you don't need to show up."

Yulia's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Iron Hand Gang is all soft eggs, there is really no need to be afraid, but have you ever thought about Mad Dog Johnny?"

The boss of the underground ruins No. 72, Mad Dog Johnny.

Relying on the physique of a wasteland hunter and a flintlock rifle, the entire underground ruins No. 72 is under his rule. Every person in the underground ruins No. 72 must pay tribute to him after obtaining resources outside, and the minimum is half of the harvest.

"Mad Dog Johnny? Does this have anything to do with him?"

Wayne looked puzzled. In the process of snatching the mechanical arm, only Wayne and his gang and the four children of the Iron Hand Gang had anything to do with Mad Dog Johnny.

"The Iron Hand Gang failed to compete with us for the mechanical arm. Do you think that guy Theodore will give up?" Yulia shook her head and frowned, "When the people of the Iron Hand Gang return to the shelter, they will definitely tell Mad Dog Johnny about the mechanical arm. We can't keep this thing at all."

Wayne was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale.

As Yulia said, although the Iron Hand Gang failed to compete for the mechanical arm, they would not give up. Even if they didn't get the mechanical arm, they would never let Wayne and his gang have an easy time. It was inevitable that they would tell Mad Dog Johnny.

"Then...what should I do now?" Wayne looked tangled.

After finally getting this mechanical arm, although it is not clear whether this thing can bring benefits to several people, Wayne is definitely unwilling to give it up easily. However, for Jiren, it is even more impossible to offend Mad Dog Johnny.

Johnny is called Mad Dog because of his crazy personality.

He treats people who resist him in the shelter very cruelly, and often skins living people and feeds them to zombies to establish his majesty.

"Now there are only two ways to go in front of us."

Yulia took a deep breath, slowly opened his mouth, and said: "First, obediently hand over this mechanical arm to Mad Dog Johnny, maybe he can reward us with some benefits, but it must be less than one thousandth of the value of the mechanical arm."

Wayne looked ugly and shook his head desperately.

It would be more painful for him to give up this mechanical arm now than to die, so even if he risked offending Mad Dog Johnny, Wayne wanted to keep this thing.

"The second way is to destroy the Iron Hand Gang!"

Yulia's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Since only the Iron Hand Gang knows the existence of the mechanical arm, then kill them all, and we don't have to worry about the news of the mechanical arm reaching Johnny's ears."

"Destroy the Iron Hand Gang?" Wayne frowned slightly.

Although in the survival rules of the doomsday wasteland, killing each other among scavengers is simply a simple matter. Many years ago, the world lost the constraints of rules and believed in the rule that strength is the truth.

However, Wayne hesitated to kill the four members of the Iron Hand Gang.

It was not because of softness or kindness, but for the purpose of killing. Dealing with the four members of the Iron Hand Gang is completely different from fighting for resources in the garbage dump before. The former will be a fight for life.

Although Wayne's group is stronger, if they want to kill all four members of the Iron Hand Gang, they have to pay a price.

If Enzo hadn't been injured, it might have been easier.

But now Enzo was scratched by a zombie and just got out of danger. Wayne was the only one left in the team to take charge of the force, which made him a little hesitant.

"If we don't want to lose the mechanical arm, we have no choice."

Yulia said in a deep voice: "Wayne, you know very well that I have always been against solving problems by force, but this time it is the only way!"

Wayne gritted his teeth and finally nodded fiercely.

"Okay! It's decided, destroy the Iron Hand Gang."

The desire for the mechanical arm made Wayne make a decision. Even if it requires some risks, he must destroy the Iron Hand Gang to protect the secrets of his team.

"Very good."

Beside him, Yulia also nodded slightly and said: "Next, let me make a specific plan."

As he said that, he called several people together.

"First of all, there are four people in the Iron Hand Gang, and we have six people. However, excluding the injured Enzo, there are only five people left who can fight."

"Five people? Should it be four people?"

Wayne frowned slightly and interrupted: "Enzo is injured and can't fight. Yulia needs to stay and take care of him. The only ones who can deal with the Iron Hand Gang are me, Casey, Miles, Monroe and Oppa."

It was said to be four people, but Wayne read out five names.

That's because, strictly speaking, Monroe and Opa can only be considered one person, or two consciousnesses in the same body.

"Two-headed man..." Enzo murmured not far away.

In the world of the apocalyptic wasteland, terrible radiation changes everything, so the birth rate of deformed children is increasing, and even normal people have become outliers. For example, Monroe and Opa are two-headed people with two heads.

Among them, Monroe is a boy, and Opa is a girl.

That body also has dual organs of men and women, which looks extremely weird, but it seems very normal in the apocalyptic wasteland.

"To deal with the Iron Hand Gang, we must do our best!"

Uria shook his head and said in a deep voice: "So, I will also participate this time. As for Enzo, he can only stay alone. However, as long as we strengthen the defense here, there will be no problem."

Wayne frowned slightly, but didn't know how to refute.

As Uria said, this time to deal with the Iron Hand Gang, it is a matter of life and death for the entire team, so they must go all out. If there is one more person, there will naturally be more strength.

Although Yulia has never been known for his military prowess, he is not a waste.

With him, at least one member of the Iron Hand Gang can be restrained, bringing more hope for victory. The only thing that makes Wayne entangled is that he is worried about leaving Enzo alone.

"Don't worry about me, Boss Wayne."

At this time, Enzo suddenly spoke up and said, "The location here is so remote. As long as the cave entrance is blocked, even zombies can't get in, so there is no need to worry about safety."

"But I have another consideration."

"What?" Yulia raised his eyebrows.

"It's very simple. How long will this rain last?" Enzo asked calmly.

Yulia was stunned, frowned slightly, looked outside the cave, and his face became tangled. Doomsday acid rain is a very normal phenomenon in the wasteland, but the duration is irregular.

At most, acid rain can even last for a month!

During the acid rain, Wayne's team obviously cannot leave the cave, otherwise they may be infected by radiation and cause disease or mutation. This is also the attempt of the wastelanders. Once acid rain falls from the sky, scavengers must find shelter.

"No matter what plan we have, we have to wait until the acid rain ends."

Enzo shook his head slightly and whispered: "Similarly, during the acid rain, the Iron Hand Gang will hide and wait for everything to end before returning to the shelter."
