Chapter 249 Don't Get Close to the Sea

On the vast land, the field of vision is wide and uninhabited.

Looking around, there are only dilapidated and withered tree remains, and scattered ruins buried in the sand.

Riemann Rustank dragged the Trojan logistics vehicle on the potholed roadbed.

The surface of the tank is still covered with scratches and engravings, and the gray camouflage paint is mottled. In fact, there is no damage inside, and the structure of the car body is still strong and firm.

There are a few large characters crookedly painted on the side of the turret:

"My Little Pony."

Under the thick and hideous barrel, a thin iron wire connected from the muzzle brake to the coaxial storm bolter.

Three pairs of underwear of different sizes were hung on the wire, the pure white sports one, the black hollow lace one, and the simple gray thong one. The three underwears fluttered in the wind.

Quite a wasteland atmosphere.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

Fu Qinghai, the commander of the tank, leaned out half of his body from the top of the turret. He was naked with a strong and knotted upper body, only wearing a pair of big shorts, and a tank commander's big-brimmed hat on his head. Big cigars, facing the cool breeze after the end of the world, the white mist that they spit out immediately drifted away.

"Qingshan, help me see if my bra is dry?"

Jiang Yixia shouted from below.

Fu Qinghai climbed out of the turret and came to the rear of the car body. This is the weakest part of the Riemann Rustank armor. It is connected to the engine and exhaust pipe. Three corsets are attached to the hot armor plate. Dry by the residual heat of the engine.

Fu Qinghai took the clothes away, retracted them into the roof hatch, and handed them to Jiang Yixia, who was dressed in cool clothes. At this time, Li Xingxian, who was wearing a small vest, also squeezed over and poked Fu Qinghai's arm with his finger. said:

"Qingshan, I'm hungry."

Fu Qinghai said:
"Ask Chen Xinlu to open the door for you. You go to the armored vehicle and get the last bit of CPR."

"How long is the journey to the next destination?"

Jiang Yixia asked.

Li Xingxian went to find Chen Xinlu. In the narrow space, only Jiang Yixia and Fu Qinghai were left, and the woman did not back away, so she was going to squeeze here to talk to Fu Qinghai. The distance between the two was less than five centimeters. Even the exhaled breath is close at hand.

"If there is no problem with the accuracy of that map, it will take about five days' drive."

Fu Qinghai said.

As soon as he looked down, he could see the deep groove squeezed out of the sports bra. As an old driver, Fu Qinghai knew that the "Y" shape was forced out, and the "I" shape was natural. Jiang Yixia obviously belonged to the latter .

She-Hulk has always been on top.

Five days, even if all the way through the desolate no-man's land like now, is still a big test for most reincarnations.

Without transportation, fuel supplies, and food and water, most reincarnated people can only huddle in the place of arrival, and cannot run around like Fu Qinghai.

The adamantine tracks crushed the gravel, moving forward slowly but firmly.

Surrounded by an unchanging landscape.

The gray and white land stretches endlessly, with occasional ups and downs.

"Chi - crunch."

The tank stopped suddenly.

Fu Qinghai poked his head out from the top hatch and looked at an iron sign standing alone by the roadside. The dark red rust had already covered the sign, and the bottom of the iron rod inserted into the ground was covered with salt and alkali. The above English is vaguely discernible:

"Stay away from the sea."

Are we already near the sea?

Fu Qinghai took out the map and looked at it, and found that there was still a distance, at least five or six kilometers away.

Affected by the size of the tidal range, the boundary of the ocean is actually not fixed, and the ebb and flow of the tide after the doomsday may be greater than before the doomsday.

Fu Qinghai retracted into the car, squeezed the empty power armor on the driver's seat, swiped to the right, and said in his mouth:

"Come on, let's go to the beach."

……

A few minutes later, the deep blue sea appeared in the field of vision, the sound of the tide came, and the waves crashed on the gray-white gravel beach, and it seemed that there was no danger at all.

Wearing power armor, Fu Qinghai stood a few hundred meters away from the sea. Looking at the gentle waves in front of him, he leaned over and picked up a stone the size of a human head, and threw it hard into the sea.

Under the tremendous physical strength, the stone crossed a long parabola and fell into the sea with a "plop", splashing a circle of tall white water.

Then, a bulge suddenly bulged on the seemingly calm surface of the sea, and with a "crash", the sea water parted in all directions, and a giant object slowly floated up in the water, which turned out to be a pair of huge protruding eyes.

Two bulging bulbous exophthalmos floating above the water surface, eyes with a diameter of one meter high, flat almond-shaped black pupils, and silver and yellow irises.

The monster's fish eyes turned to the center, staring at Fu Qinghai who was standing hundreds of meters away, as if evaluating his size and edibility. In the end, this giant sea monster whose body was mostly hidden under the sea surface, He just gave Fu Qinghai a cold look, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

Hey, who do you look down on?
Fu Qinghai was immediately unhappy.

He said in the communication channel:
"Jiang Yixia, load a high-explosive bomb."

"High-explosive bomb, are you sure?"

The crew members apparently also saw the giant eye that just rose from the sea through the periscope, and Jiang Yixia couldn't help but confirm it again.

"OK, Leman Russ MK3-G4 high-explosive bomb."

Fu Qinghai's tone was firm, and he even directly read out the specific model of the ammunition.

"Report to the commander, the loading is complete."

"Ok."

Fu Qinghai leaned over again, picked up a bigger stone, weighed it in his palm, put it down again, took an armor-piercing grenade from his waist, pulled out the fuse, stepped forward, swung it Arm, a powerful one-armed slalom, throwing the grenade viciously in the posture of a softball player.

"Wh-BANG!"

The armor-piercing grenade exploded above the water.

The impact of the explosion caused the sea surface to shake violently, and the lasing shrapnel pierced the deep water body into strips of air bubbles.

In the deep blue water, red blood overflowed.

"Whoa-"

There was a violent sound on the sea level, and the sea water was like a waterfall hanging upside down, and the waves that were raised spread in all directions.

The giant came crashing out of the water.

It is difficult to describe the appearance of this sea monster.

Its appearance is very ugly. Its huge body is like a giant ship stranded on the beach. On the ridge is a row of sharp hollow long fins piercing the sky, like a row of sharp halberds. The body is thick and round with many tumor-like protrusions. Similar to the skin of a toad, the forefoot of the two webbed claws that were like pillars moved vigorously on the gravel beach, and the speed of the movement was not slow.

The strange fish opened its mouth forcefully, and there was an explosion in the air, accompanied by the sound of "swoosh", the flesh-colored long tongue with a diameter of one meter was shot straight at Fu Qinghai, and the end of the tongue tore apart a human-like face mouth with sharp teeth.

Fu Qinghai turned sideways lightly, avoiding the blow, let the tongue prick escape, and said in his mouth:
"Fire."

"boom--"

The high-explosive bomb came out, and the projectile went straight into the body of the monster fish, as if a grain of rice had been pierced into the body of the giant fish. Immediately afterwards, the already swollen body of the sea monster swelled up again, tearing the skin membrane to the limit. There was a faint light of fire.

"Clap-"

Under the action of high explosives, the upper body of the sea monster was shattered, shrapnel flew, and the flames soared into the sky. Half-moist and half-blackened internal organs and minced meat fell like flowers, turning the gray-white gravel beach into plasma and ascites Cross-flow slaughterhouse.

"102 o'clock, okay."

Fu Qinghai said.

Barely priced back the fare.

"Why do fish get so big because of radiation?"

Chen Xinlu asked in the communication channel.

"Do not."

Fu Qinghai squatted in front of a fat and coiled fish intestine covered with translucent mucus, and said:

"It's the T-Abyss virus."

T-Abyss Virus is a research product of the Federal Bioterrorism Committee (FBC), an official anti-biochemical organization in the Resident Evil game universe. It is a new type of virus formed by splicing Abyss Virus and T Virus in deep-sea fish. Nicknamed "seafood virus", a bottle of virus in the game setting can infect one-fifth of the ocean.

According to the information in Vault 79, the entire ocean of the earth is now flooded with this virus, and the four oceans are completely hopeless.The ocean accounts for 70% of the earth's surface area. Now that the glaciers at the two poles have completely melted, the ocean area will only increase, but it is no longer within the scope of human activities.

In addition to viruses, radiation can actually make creatures huge, but this is the Resident Evil movie universe, not the Hollow Earth universe. Naturally, priority is given to the setting of Resident Evil.

The carcass of the sea monster piled up a high hill on the shore.

"patta!" "patta!" "patta!"

The sound of splashing water sounded, and Fu Qinghai looked to the other side.

Hey, the broken tongue of the strange fish can survive independently, still struggling and rolling?

Fu Qinghai took a closer look, and it turned out to be a strange zombie with its lower body connected to its fleshy tongue.

"Wow, come and see."

Fu Qinghai called the crew members.

The three women, wearing yellow protective clothing, walked out of the carriage, surrounded them, and observed the spectacle together.

A streamlined flesh-gray carapace grew on the top of the zombie's head, covering all the way to the back. The upper limbs became six pairs of shrimp-like appendages, and the lower body was the tongue of a strange fish. Dark organs and rectum were faintly visible in the translucent flesh. .

If it weren't for the human face covered with a transparent thin shell under the carapace, Fu Qinghai would not have recognized that it was once a human being.

Sea Creeper, a T-Abyss virus zombie.

"I've heard of the chrysalis before."

Fu Qinghai said to the three women.

"Fish lice enter the fish's mouth during the larval stage, suck the blood of the fish through the fish's tongue, until the fish's tongue is completely atrophied, and then connect their tail with the atrophied fish's tongue to replace the fish's tongue, turning from parasitism to symbiosis. "

"I didn't expect that today I saw a zombie replacing the tongue of a sea monster and turning into a zombie fish lice."

This sea stalker connected to its tongue seemed unable to adapt to life on land, perhaps because it could not take in oxygen, and it died soon after jumping a few times.

"What is this indicating?"

Chen Xinlu turned her head and asked.

She felt that Fu Qinghai would not be so bored that he specially asked the three of them to come out just to see something special.

Fu Qinghai's tone was full of emotion:
"Even zombie fish lice have appeared, which shows that... viruses and zombies have fully adapted and ruled the earth. They have established a new ecosystem, a new nature based on viruses. Those of us who are not infected with viruses, It's the alien species in the system."

Fu Qinghai turned his eyes to the sea.

Human beings are still staring at the dilapidated ruins on the land, but they don't know that in the deep and vast blue sea, a vibrant new system is quietly being constructed.

The ocean is indeed the birthplace of all life.

Without the support of the buoyancy of the sea water, and the internal skeleton was blown to pieces by high-explosive bombs, the body of the giant sea monster is slowly collapsing under its own weight. Chen Xinlu glanced at the mountain of sea monster corpses in disgust, and said :
"Let's go back."

"Ah."

Fu Qinghai nodded, and was about to go back when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a metal object protruding from the mass of organs that had slipped from the sea monster's split body, and was then covered by the intestines and mucus that continued to slide. .

"and many more!"

Fu Qinghai quickly stopped the three women.

While activating active and passive perspective, he strode towards the mountain of corpses. The perspective imaging view of black, white and gray was constantly switching, looking for a perspective that could penetrate hypertrophic organs.

Soon, Fu Qinghai saw three objects that obviously did not belong to the structure of biological organs, square objects with sharp edges and corners, wrapped in the intestines of sea monsters.

Fu Qinghai stepped inside the corpse, stepped on the sticky and slippery tissue fluid, long filaments were pulled out from the soles of his shoes, walked to the wriggling and collapsed viscera, and stretched out his hands to tear open the stacked dark pink intestines.

Fu Qinghai first saw a pile of yellowed broken bones. He couldn't tell whether it belonged to one person or several people, or even whether they belonged to human beings. They had been digested so thoroughly that there was not even a shred of meat left.

Then, an exquisite square box intertwined with black and silver, and two gorgeous pistols with strange shapes lay quietly in the fish intestines.

Fu Qinghai picked up these three items from the sticky intestinal fluid, held them in his hands and kept looking at them, the transparent mucus dripped continuously, and the three items were wrapped in fish intestines for a long time and were still as beautiful as new.

Fu Qinghai turned back to the tank and asked:

"What is this?"

Chen Xinlu and Jiang Yixia also didn't know why.

Only Li Xingxian looked at the box in Fu Qinghai's hand, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice:

"That's...that's...the phylactery, the phylactery of the lich!"

"what?"

When Li Xingxian said that, Chen Xinlu was also shocked.

Fu Qinghai raised his head:

"Are you sure?"

As one of the classic settings of advanced undead creatures like liches, Fu Qinghai has of course heard of the "fate box".

And if you think about it carefully, this setting originally came from the ancient IP of Dungeons and Dragons, and was later used by Western fantasy worldviews such as Warcraft, World of Warcraft, and Heroes.

No wonder Li Xingxian recognized it immediately.

Li Xingxian nodded vigorously:
"I'm very sure that this is the Lich's phylactery. The shell is made of black iron and mithril, with the undead runes and arcane patterns on it. This is a standard Lich's phylactery."

No matter in the setting of the Western Fantasy worldview, the phylactery is bound to the soul of the Lich. If the phylactery is not broken, the Lich will not be destroyed. In contrast, the Lich must hide his phylactery well so that the enemy will not find it. .

"That's interesting."

Fu Qinghai threw away the square box in his hand.

"Then which reincarnation's phylactery is this?"

None of the four had an answer to this question.

"Then these two pistols are... I'll go, why don't these pistols even have magazines?"

Fu Qinghai was startled as soon as he picked up the pistol.

One is jet-black and the other is silver-white. The body of the gun is gorgeous and exquisite like a work of art. It looks like a desert eagle. The grip is designed into a twisted and sharp bend. The whole grip is integrated. Naturally, there is no magazine for this shape of grip , Fu Qinghai tried to pull the trigger, but the gun made a hollow sound, and no bullets were fired.

"What stuff? Crafts? Toys?"

Fu Qinghai felt baffled.

Generally speaking, reincarnators would not spend points to assimilate useless toys, and they can withstand things corroded by the digestive tract of sea monsters, so they should not be ordinary items.

Unable to understand, Fu Qinghai could only check the sea monster's body again, but found nothing else. After going through the virus elimination process, the four of them returned to the tank compartment.

"Rumble..."

The engine roared, and it was back on the road.

……

In the carriage, Li Xingxian was holding the phylactery in his hand, his delicate face wrinkled into one piece, as if he couldn't figure it out.

"what happened?"

Seeing her expression, Fu Qinghai couldn't help asking.

"The lich is strong."

Li Xingxian frowned and said:
"Regardless of the DND universe or other Western Fantasy universes, liches are very powerful high-level undead. How could the precious phylactery... how could it appear in the belly of a sea monster?"

"Maybe he hid the phylactery there on purpose. The ocean is so big, and sea monsters swim everywhere, but no one can find it."

Jiang Yixia curled her lips and interrupted.

Li Xingxian obviously didn't agree with Jiang Yixia's explanation.

"You may have forgotten a little."

Fu Qinghai reminded:

"The Resident Evil movie universe is a pure sci-fi universe. There is no magic net, no subspace, and no four elements. Any spellcaster who comes here has to rely on the infection of rules to complete the spellcasting. There are probably not many liches here. powerful."

When encountering such a pure sci-fi background setting, no matter whether it is a genius like Lauster or a fool like Li Xingxian, they can only share their hands, and no one can do anything.

Laust can rely on subspace to cast spells in the Warhammer 40K universe, and can rely on the Force to alchemy in the Star Wars universe, but in the Resident Evil movie universe, he probably can only do scientific research and experiments honestly.

"That's true."

For Fu Qinghai's statement, Li Xingxian still feels quite convinced.

"Speaking of which, we haven't eaten yet."

Jiang Yixia reminded.

"That sea monster is too disgusting, and there are zombie fish lice, which made me lose my appetite."

Chen Xinlu said with a disgusted face.

Fu Qinghai glanced outside the car, the sky was getting dark.

"When I find a suitable place, I will bury the pot and cook."

……

The evening sun, the afterglow of the setting sun.

Tanks and armored vehicles parked at the top of the hill, drawing long black silhouettes on the gentle slope.

A waterproof felt cloth was set up on the front of the car, and Fu Qinghai set up an iron pot on top of the charcoal, ready to make a mushroom soup with protein bars.

"Where did you get the mushrooms?"

When Jiang Yixia brought out half a basket of mushrooms, Fu Qinghai was quite surprised.

"Have you forgotten, Vault 109, the mushrooms collected by that reincarnation named Tevez."

Fu Qinghai took it over and took a look. It was pig liver-colored and copper-green, and all kinds of mushrooms were a little wilted.

"I'm not a major in fungal taxonomy, so I can't tell if it's edible or not."

Fu Qinghai said.

"That person must be able to eat it if he picks it."

Jiang Yixia said nonchalantly.

Fu Qinghai picked up a piece of mushroom and tasted it, saying:
"The taste detection nerve didn't call the police. I can eat it. I don't know if you can eat it."

"Hey, don't worry about it, improve the food, eat protein bars and compressed biscuits every day, I'm tired of eating."

Li Xingxian waved his hand and said.

The crops produced in Vault 79 contain the genetic components of fungi. Except for those fungus people, normal people would not dare to eat them. Fu Qinghai and others only took unopened emergency food brought in by perfect humans, such as compressed biscuits.

Fine.

Now that everyone said so, Fu Qinghai didn't worry too much. After the water boiled, he poured mushrooms, protein bars, compressed biscuits and salt into the pot.

Then he found a revolver under the pile of mushrooms. Fu Qinghai let out a "huh" and took it out, holding it in his hand and looking at it.

"what happened again?"

Jiang Yixia leaned over and saw that Fu Qinghai was looking at the revolver in his hand, and explained:

"This is the weapon used by the reincarnation. It's just an ordinary revolver. It can't even pierce my transformed skin. Is there anything special about it?"

What puzzled Jiang Yixia was that even the dead Spartan's weapons, the MA5B assault rifle and M41-SPNKR rocket launcher, Fu Qinghai didn't like, saying that the power was too small and not for space fighters.

At that time, she excitedly showed it to Fu Qinghai, thinking that he would like it.

Why do you still fall in love with a small broken pistol now?
"It's nothing, I just happen to know the model and source."

Fu Qinghai threw the pistol aside.

The single-pump revolver, a simple wasteland weapon from Fallout: New Vegas, is nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone enjoyed a rare mushroom soup, packed up their utensils and returned to the carriage, preparing to spend the night.

Night fell silently.

Qing Ming is in charge of the night shift, and the AI ​​doesn't need to rest.

After driving the tank all day, Fu Qinghai didn't want to meditate tonight, he just wanted to sleep well.

So he lay down on the cold floor.

The three women also fell asleep early.

Under the adjustment of the stiffness node, Fu Qinghai fell into a deep sleep in a second.

……

The full moon hangs high, and the night is quiet.

There was only the sound of even breathing in the carriage.

Chen Xinlu had a dream.

A very realistic dream.

She dreamed that Fu Qinghai suddenly became violent and wanted to use force on her. Chen Xinlu would rather resist desperately, but how could she be a weak mage against a strong star warrior? He used his body to hold her down... On the inner wall of the carriage, her cheek was pressed tightly against his chest, like a wall that couldn't be pushed away. His breath was hot and hot, spraying between her necks, making her weak.

Chen Xinlu couldn't resist, so she could only half-push and half-submit to Fu Qinghai, allowing him to spread her legs apart and put them on both sides of her strong waist...

Chen Xinlu suddenly woke up.

It was pitch black in the compartment.

She found that at some point, she leaned against Fu Qinghai's side, her arms were tightly around Fu Qinghai's neck, and her thighs were tightly clamping his thighs.

"!?"

Chen Xinlu immediately stood up.

As a result, Fu Qinghai was also woken up.

Fu Qinghai opened his eyes, only to realize that his left arm was around Jiang Yixia's shoulders, the woman was resting on his arms, her thighs were around his waist, and she was sleeping soundly. A large piece of saliva was soaked.

And Chen Xinlu was sitting slumped on her right side with a dull expression on her face.

Fu Qinghai was a little confused.

For a moment I didn't understand what happened.

Fu Qinghai reached out to lift Li Xingxian up, put him aside, patted Jiang Yixia's back, and said:
"Hey, wake up."

Jiang Yixia twisted his body, let out a grunt of dissatisfaction, hooked his elbows around Fu Qinghai's neck, and squeezed his head between his necks again.

Until Chen Xinlu called softly: "A Xia."

Jiang Yixia finally woke up, with disheveled hair draped over his shoulders, propped himself up crookedly, rubbed his eyes with one hand, and asked:
"what's wrong?"

……

Fu Qinghai walked back from the gate of dimension.

He just used the dimension gate to return to the ruins of Vault 79, and retested the remaining mushrooms in the underground laboratory. The conclusion was: slightly poisonous, mental damage.

"A kind of hallucinogenic mushroom, it has no effect."

Fu Qinghai said casually.

The Astartes' deep sleep only takes four hours, and even four hours won't let me be safe?

Recited "no passion, calm mind" three times silently in his heart, Fu Qinghai thought to himself that you should stop messing with me.

Chen Xinlu stared at Jiang Yixia's profile.

I thought to myself: Ah Xia, you are so scheming.

You are the Hulk.

Xingxian and I will be poisoned if we eat mushrooms. Could it be that your Hulk will also be poisoned?
