Chapter 316: Going Out
Deng Hong agreed to Du Ziteng's request. After the other party left, he took out a dagger that he had polished with a mutant beast's teeth. The ordinary metals before the doomsday were impossible to use in the ultra-low temperature environment outside. Maybe within a few minutes, an ordinary metal cold weapon would become as brittle as a biscuit and break at any bend. Deng Hong could only use the mutant beast's teeth to make a dagger. Not to mention, this special dagger is still very useful. This dagger was made from the teeth of the third-level mutant beast that he had killed with great difficulty.
That third-level mutant beast should have evolved from the second level to the third level not long ago, otherwise Deng Hong didn't think he was a match for those peak third-level mutant beasts. He still had some self-knowledge. With his current strength, he should be equivalent to a third-level primary-stage mutant beast.
Taking the dagger and putting on the special warm clothes made of the fur of the third-level mutant beast, Deng Hong closed the door. He did not lock the door. Since a gang broke into his residence by relying on their large numbers and he slaughtered the entire gang, no one dared to enter his residence on the first floor without his consent. Even if the door was not locked, no one dared to go in and steal things.
Deng Hong's tent was built near the entrance of the base. Only he dared to live in this place. After all, if it was too close to the entrance, many survivors who survived the doomsday would feel insecure. Most people wanted to live in the innermost part, but the innermost part was where the leaders of the major forces on the first floor lived. They dug out cave-like houses, which were safe and warm. Of course, those who had the conditions dug holes to live in, and those who did not had the conditions could only build simple houses with trees like Deng Hong. It was not that Deng Hong could not dig a cave to make a house, but he was just too lazy to dig a hole. If there was really any danger, it would be useless even if he lived in a cave a hundred meters deep.
There are three main types of students studying abroad in Xia. The first type is the type that serves the country. These students generally have a strong sense of patriotism. They go abroad to study only to learn advanced foreign technology and knowledge, and return to serve the country after graduation. The second type is the type that hates the country. These students may occupy the resources of the country's public study abroad, or their families are powerful and enjoy the benefits given by the country, or their families are vested interest groups. However, they are not only ungrateful, but also act as if they enjoy the benefits of the country as a matter of course, and even hate that the country is in trouble and does not want their motherland to develop smoothly. Such people study abroad just to highlight their superior status. Such people are definitely traitors in the new era. The third type is the type that worships foreigners and fawns on foreigners. As long as it is foreign, it is good, better than Xia. The moon in foreign countries is brighter than that in their own country, and the air in foreign countries is full of sweetness. This type of student can also be called a dog-licking type, a dog that licks foreign asses. As long as the foreign owner throws a bone to them, they will bark excitedly. As long as the foreign owner gives them some benefits, they will act as foreign thugs or public intellectuals who discredit national public opinion. Such people can be said to be complete traitors.
Deng Hong belongs to the first type of people. He despises the other two types of people the most. In the past, there were many such people in the International Students Mutual Aid Association, which made him feel disgusted. After all, he was an angry young man on the Internet.
"Brother Deng, are you going out? Come to my place to sit? Or come back to my place to sit for a while." A woman with ragged clothes and stained face, whose true appearance was revealed but whose voice was full of affectation, stood by the aisle. She should be waiting for Deng Hong on purpose. Deng Hong knew who she was just by hearing her voice. The main reason was that she was not only famous on the Internet before the doomsday, but also often harassed him after she fled to this base after the doomsday.
Her name is Yang Shuping. Before the apocalypse, she was the third type of overseas student, a bootlicker. When she gave a speech on behalf of overseas students at the time of enrollment, she gave a "earth-shaking" speech, which was a model of bootlickers. She instantly became famous on the Internet in Xia Country, but she was notorious and her bad reputation would last for thousands of years. It was just that she was lucky and did not die in the apocalypse. After escaping to this base, she had no skills, could not grow vegetables and farm, and dared not go out to hunt zombies or mutants. She was afraid of death. In the end, she could only do some special work to make a living, such as helping men solve their problems. She was very skilled.
"No need!" Deng Hong refused directly. Even if the other party was not someone he hated, he would not go to other women. After all, if she contracted a special disease in the apocalypse, she would only die.
Deng Hong ignored Yang Shuping and walked past her toward the entrance outside, which made Yang Shuping hate her. However, she did not dare to talk nonsense. After all, it was normal for someone to die in the doomsday. Now was not the doomsday. She could talk nonsense and no one would do anything to her. Moreover, Yang Shuping wanted to hook up with Deng Hong. As long as she became his woman, she could walk sideways in the first floor, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day. I don’t know how comfortable that life would be. She showed a silly smile on her face, like a mental patient.
The central region of the United States is a vast agricultural area with few big cities. Before the doomsday, it was generally a vast uninhabited area or rural area. Of course, with the official organizational ability of the United States, they did not have the ability to build an underground base in such an area. The base where Deng Hong is now is built in the last century during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in preparation for the world nuclear war. Now it is the only base in the central state of the United States.
The major bases in the United States are basically in an independent state. Before the end of the world, it was in a state of chaos due to racial division. After the second term of the Chuan Da leader, the polarization of the United States became more serious. It became like this in the doomsday period. The Chuan Da leader can only control the underground base in Area 51. What scares the Chuan Da leader is that he feels that he has lost control of the base in Area 51 recently. As long as he thinks about what will happen after he steps down, he secretly makes a decision that violates the laws of his ancestors.
Deng Hong, who is thousands of miles away, does not know what the Chuan Da leader is thinking. He greets the guards at the entrance and disappears into the dark under the guards' gaze.
Deng Hong did not hunt mutants near the entrance of the base, mainly because the hunting teams in the base usually move around the base. If he hunts nearby, it is easy to run into them. Deng Hong does not want to meet those people. After all, the mutants he hunts are generally level 2. The meat of level 1 mutants is basically useless for improving his physical fitness. Only level 2 mutants have some effect. Of course, the best should be level 3 mutants, but if it is not a level 3 mutant, he will not provoke it for his own safety.
Although the main direction of evolution is not speed, Deng Hong's running speed is much faster than that of ordinary level 2 mutants. Unlike Gu Ming, he does not have a plug-in and system space to store the bodies of mutants. If he hunts too many mutants, Deng Hong cannot bring them back. So when he goes out hunting every day, he will choose higher-level mutants. The elite mutants among the level 2 are his target. He knows where such mutants are.
The mutant jaguar was Deng Hong's target, but those mutant jaguar were far from the base. It took Deng Hong half an hour to reach the habitat of the mutant jaguar. Why did he know this group of mutant beasts? This was because the third-level mutant beast he killed last time was the leader of this group of mutant jaguar. Now they have become leaderless and have become Deng Hong's food source.
Deng Hong basically hunts two mutant jaguars every day. For a group of hundreds of jaguars, Deng Hong can't kill them all in a short time, and this group of jaguars will reproduce. In this way, as long as he controls the number of hunting every day, this group of jaguars will be his endless source of food. Of course, he knows that this is a wishful thinking. After all, these mutant jaguars are not fools and mentally retarded, just waiting for him to hunt. Deng Hong knows that as long as he hunts more than a certain number, they will sense the danger and run away.
Although Deng Hong didn't know why the Central American jaguars appeared in large numbers in the United States, he knew that this animal was already near-threatened before the apocalypse and was rare in number. However, he didn't think it was strange when he thought about the large-scale reproduction of other animals in the two years of the apocalypse. Now, all creatures on the earth, except humans, are reproducing in large numbers, as if to compensate for the damage to nature caused by the industrial civilization that humans have developed for hundreds of years.
But this state is too cruel for humans. Now the hunting teams that go out of the human base on the earth are not only the targets of various mutant beasts, but also the targets of zombie groups that have evolved into another race. The living environment of humans is getting worse and worse. However, in order to become stronger, humans need mutant beast cores and zombie brain cores to manufacture genetic drugs. Humans need a lot of energy to improve their physical fitness after injecting genetic drugs, and mutant beast meat is the best source of energy, so humans have to go out of the base to hunt those mutant beasts and zombies. Only in this way can humans continue to become stronger and survive in the double attack of mutant beasts and zombies.
Deng Hong didn't think so much. He just wanted to go back to his country. He wanted to go back to his hometown to confirm whether his family was still alive. Only by becoming stronger could he have a chance to return to Xia Country. In order to become stronger, he had to go out every day to hunt those mutant beasts or zombies.
Deng Hong hid his body and watched the group of mutant jaguars fighting. When there was a single mutant jaguar, he attacked like a venomous snake hidden in the dark and quickly killed two mutant jaguars. He packed the bodies of the jaguars in a special bag. The two jaguars weighed a ton together, but it was just child's play for him. He hurried back like an ant carrying a peanut. His mission today was completed and he naturally went home.
