Chapter 533: Garbage Dump
"sure!"
Uriah nodded and said, "Being bitten by zombies and transforming your body into a hunter is only the most basic method. It is said that almost no one in the floating city will use this method to become a hunter."
"That's true." Enzo nodded slightly.
By being bitten by zombies, the possibility of body alienation is less than one in 10,000. The higher probability is that it mutates into zombies. Therefore, it is a completely uncontrollable transformation method and naturally cannot become mainstream.
"Then is there any other way to become a hunter?"
Wayne asked quickly. In order to be able to control mechas, almost all scavengers aspired to become scavengers, and he was naturally no exception.
"There are many special existences among the mutated beasts in the wasteland."
Uriah thought for a moment and said, "They are more powerful than their kind because they have a kind of demonized crystal core in their bodies. The humans on the floating city seem to have some means of using the demonized crystal core to create hunters." "
"However, I don't know exactly how to do it."
As a few people talked, the sound of rain outside suddenly became quieter. Enzo walked to the ruins of the cave and looked outside. A light gradually appeared in the sky.
"The rain has stopped, we can leave." Uriah raised her head.
The wasteland that has experienced an acid rain exudes a radiation smell, and even the earth becomes a little scorching, but this level of radiation is still within the tolerable range for the wastelanders.
Afterwards, several people walked out of the cave.
Ho ho ho...
At this time, a sound suddenly came from not far away, and a zombie with only half its body left slowly crawled towards a few people.
Phew!
Uriah pulled out a wooden dagger and inserted it into the zombie's eye socket, ending his life. There were many zombies in the wasteland, and the weakest zombie among them not only moved slowly, but also had very weak strength.
Anyone can deal with them as long as they suppress the fear in their hearts.
What is really scary is the high-level zombies, or the gathering of many low-level zombies to form a wave of wandering zombies. Once that happens, it can be called a disaster for the shelter.
"The acid rain is over, and the guys from the Iron Hand Gang may return to the shelter."
Uriah put away his dagger and said, "We only need to hide on the road back to the shelter to block them. Now that Enzo has become a hunter, it will be easy to kill Theodore and the others."
"There is only one thing you need to pay attention to, and that is not to let go of the survivors."
Wayne and his gang have been forming a team for a long time, and Uriah, the smartest one, has always been in charge of making plans, and this time is no exception.
…
Near the wasteland dump.
The earth dyed red by radiation and blood showed a strange black color. The spacecraft on the floating city left not long ago, bringing a carnival to the surrounding shelters, and most of the scavengers returned with their loads.
"This damn rain is finally over!"
Under the dilapidated iron shed, several boys looked outside and said happily, the acid rain in the wasteland is always unpredictable. If it lasts for a short time, it will not have much impact, but if it lasts for a few days or even a month, it will It would have been a disaster for the surrounding shelters.
"Bah! Damn it Wayne."
Under the abandoned iron shed, Theodore, who was tall, had a metal palm inlaid on his left arm. His face was full of flesh, giving people a fierce look. His eyes were cold, and he frowned and said, "When I return to the shelter, I will use that mechanical arm." Report the matter to Johnny, let’s see what you do this time!”
The Iron Hands and Wayne's gang are both scavengers, so friction between them is inevitable.
However, most of the time, it was the Iron Hands who suffered the loss. Wayne and Enzo's desperate character in fights was well-known around the garbage dump.
"Boss, do we want to go back to the underground shelter?"
Next to him, a short boy with a bald tail behind his butt asked, "We found nothing during this scavenging. If we just return to the shelter like this, will Boss Johnny let us go?"
"Hmph! If it were before, of course I wouldn't."
Theodore had a sinister face and said with a ferocious smile, "But this time, as long as we bring him the news about the robotic arm, Johnny Boss will never blame us, and may even reward us!"
"Is that so? That would be great." The rat-tailed boy looked excited.
While talking, several people walked out of the abandoned iron shed.
Although this acid rain has ended, according to the unpredictable weather in the wasteland, no one can guarantee when the next acid rain will come. Especially now that it is approaching night, only by returning to the shelter can you find safety.
"It's a pity that I didn't get anything from this scavenging."
Theodore had some regrets on his face, but he was aggrieved in his heart. This time the floating city spaceship came to the garbage dump, and the resources it put in were very generous. Almost all the scavenger teams returned with a full load, but the Iron Hand Gang got nothing.
This was mainly because they wasted too much time fighting for the mechanical arm with Wayne, and when they were preparing to scavenge, they encountered acid rain.
"Damn it Wayne, you must die this time!"
Theodore attributed everything to Wayne. If it weren't for the other party, the small Iron Hand Gang team would definitely be able to find a lot of resources.
call out!
The four people were walking quickly, when a sound broke through the air suddenly, and with a painful scream, the boy next to Theodore fell down.
He had a poison dart stuck in his neck.
"Run!"
Theodore was shocked, and even had no time to see who killed his companions, and immediately prepared to run away.
"You want to leave now, but it's not that easy!"
In front, several figures appeared and blocked the way. Wayne had a ferocious face, holding a rusty short knife in his hand, which was made of an iron bar.
On the right, two more poison darts were shot, but they were all dodged by Theodore.
"Sure enough, after being discovered, it is difficult for poison darts to hit the target."
Not far away, Yulia shook her head, walked out with some regret, and put away the whistle in her hand, which was used to shoot poison darts.
"Even if we don't sneak attack, we will win."
Wayne looked at the front with a wolf-like look. The scales of victory were originally inclined to Wayne's group, but for the sake of insurance, Yulia insisted on sneak attack, but he also successfully killed one of the opponents.
"Wayne, what do you mean?"
Theodore said sternly, gritting his teeth, "Hasn't the mechanical arm already been given to you? Why are you still bothering us!"
"Bah! Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Wayne spat on the ground and sneered, "Now, are you planning to go back to the shelter and tell Mad Dog Johnny about the mechanical arm?"
Theodore's face turned unnatural.
Although his thoughts were exposed, he still refused to admit it, saying, "What good will this do for me? You know the character of Boss Johnny. He won't reward me for my betrayal."
"It is indeed of no practical benefit to you to tell on us."
Uria shook his head and said in a calm voice, "However, as long as you can cause us some trouble, you will definitely not let it go. So, in order to avoid all unpleasantness, I can only ask you to die."
"Damn, what do you want to do."
Theodore's face changed drastically, and he blocked his iron hand in front of his chest, ready to fight, but his legs exerted a little force, as if he could escape at any time.
"Get ready to fight, brothers."
At this time, Wayne had already spoken, his eyes locked on Theodore, and said, "I will deal with Theodore, and the rest is up to you!"
There are only four people in the Iron Hand Gang, one of whom has been hit by the poison dart.
In addition to Theodore, there is only the boy with a rat tail and another ugly guy.
After Wayne finished speaking, he rushed straight to Theodore.
"Fight them!"
On the other side, Theodore also looked fierce, waved his hand to signal his two men to charge, and he also met Wayne's dagger.
"A battle without suspense."
Enzo couldn't help shaking his head. Most of the scavengers in the wasteland were very weak. Even with the spirit of fearlessness, it was difficult for them to exert too strong combat power. Therefore, this battle was without suspense.
But soon, an accident happened.
Theodore and Wayne fought together, and the dagger collided with the iron hand, making a harsh friction. But after several confrontations, Theodore suddenly stepped back half a step, took out white powder from his arms, and threw it out fiercely.
Wayne was careless for a moment and was blinded by the white powder.
Theodore immediately turned around and ran wildly, completely ignoring the lives of the other two companions, and the rat-tailed boy screamed.
"Boss..."
Puff!
At this time, Yulia took a step forward, and the wooden dagger pierced the rat-tailed boy's neck. Blood gushed out, and the thin body fell to the ground. After twitching a few times, he could no longer get up.
On the other side, the ugly boy of the Iron Hand Gang was also killed.
Theodore ran desperately towards the garbage dump. Wayne and his gang were determined to kill him, so he had to run away to get a glimmer of hope.
"Chase him! Don't let him run away!"
Wayne said hurriedly, rubbing his eyes with his hands and regaining a little vision, but Theodore's speed was very fast. In a moment, he had run a hundred meters away.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Enzo spoke softly, and then chased after him. No matter how fast Theodore was, he could not surpass the knight, so he was soon caught up.
A punch was thrown directly.
Theodore's chest seemed to be shattered, and he vomited blood and fell to the ground. His face was abnormally red. He looked at Enzo with a resentful look, but he died without saying a word.
"Well done, Enzo!"
Wayne's surprised voice came from behind. He didn't expect that Enzo could kill Theodore so easily. He was worthy of being a hunter after alienation. Both speed and strength were far beyond ordinary people.
Next to him, Yulia was not in a hurry to be happy.
He quickly came to Theodore's body, bent down and searched, but frowned after a while, sighed and shook his head.
"There is nothing." Yulia looked ugly.
"What are you looking for?" Wayne asked.
"Food." Yulia said, "Have you forgotten that the food we picked up at the garbage dump has been eaten by Enzo, and it will take at least a month before the next spaceship arrives."
"Besides, we also need to explain to Johnny, we can't go back empty-handed, right?"
"Uh...it seems so." Wayne scratched his head habitually.
Then, Yulia sighed, looked at the few people, and said in a deep voice, "Originally, I planned to seize the spoils of the Iron Hand Gang after killing them, but now it seems that Theodore and his bastards got nothing this time."
"Therefore, we can only go to the garbage dump again!"
Wayne thought about it and nodded in agreement, and Casey, Miles, Monroe and Opa beside him did not object. Food is the most important resource for the survival of wastelanders, and the food of the small team cannot sustain a month.
"In this case, there is no time to lose!"
Uria took a deep breath. There were still a few hours before dark, and the small team must go to the garbage dump immediately to scavenge, otherwise once night falls, the danger level of the wilderness will inevitably rise sharply.
After making the decision, several people went to the garbage dump.
The garbage dump located in the center of this wasteland was a garbage disposal point specially set up by the upper floating city ten years ago. The main reason was to clean up the excess garbage on the floating city, and the other reason was to give the lower wastelanders some hope of survival.
There are no less than ten shelters around this garbage dump.
The vast majority of the shelters are like Shelter No. 72, where residents make a living by scavenging in the garbage dump. The bronze hunter with a flintlock can be called a unique ruler.
Only a few shelters have wasteland hunter teams.
Those people do not make a living in the garbage dump, but obtain the opportunity to survive by hunting mutants in the wilderness. Compared with the former, the death rate of the wasteland hunter team is higher, but the resources obtained are definitely more abundant.
After all, the meat of a medium-sized mutant is enough for people to eat for a long time.
Wayne's team moved towards the garbage dump.
"I hope the good stuff has not been picked up by others." Casey, with a black birthmark on his face, muttered softly.
Not long after, the garbage dump appeared in front.
Before approaching the garbage dump, a strange smell came to the face. Enzo frowned slightly, but Wayne and others seemed very calm. They were already familiar with this smell, so they had immunity.
"It's going to be dark soon, everyone, hurry up."
Wayne waved his hand, signaling everyone to start moving. This garbage dump, as a resource point that can supply more than a dozen shelters, covers an area that is almost comparable to a small city. Various garbage piled up in the periphery, but most of them have been contaminated by radiation and have no value in picking up.
The primary purpose of Wayne's team is naturally to find food.
Yulia took the lead and came to the bottom of a garbage mountain, searching skillfully. Food contaminated by radiation will become hideous and terrifying, so Wayne and others know very well what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
