The most poisonous female supporting role in the end times
Chapter 10 The Beginning
It was just dawn when the Lucky Hunting Team left the city.
The sky after the apocalypse has never been truly clear. No matter where you look, you can always see a haze like mist at the end. Even if the sun comes out, it seems to be separated by a layer of gauze, and the light cannot really shine on people.
Su Tang was already used to it.
But after leaving the city, I found that the outside of the city was even colder than inside.
This time when going out of the city, the Lucky Hunting Team has made a big move. Including the captain, there are a total of ten psychics.
When they gathered, Ma Sijiang introduced the other team members to Su Tang. Of course, it was very simple, just calling out their names. The attitudes of those team members were also quite indifferent, most of them just casually greeted him, and some didn't even nod.
She knew that as a temporary worker she couldn't be trusted, so she didn't care.
The only thing that caught her attention was that during the introduction, a man named Chen Qiangshi gave her a slight chill.
Su Tang deeply felt the wonders of human hearts. A stranger could actually have evil thoughts towards her. On the contrary, Nan Hong, who had caused her unpleasantness yesterday and had been giving her a cold look today, did not show any reaction in her chest when facing her.
In any case, she secretly became wary of Chen Qiangshi.
The car sped westward.
The only sound in the car was breathing, except for Ma Sijiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, whispering to the team member who was the driver. This off-road vehicle was obviously modified, with more horsepower and more space. The seats in the back compartment were removed and replaced with handles on the compartment wall. There were four people on each side, and everyone sat on the side.
After getting on the bus, no one spoke anymore.
Some people were wiping their weapons, while others just closed their eyes in silence.
Although he wanted to look at each person carefully, he obviously couldn't do so. Su Tang just glanced at them a few times and then turned his gaze to the window.
At present, they are still in the wilderness outside the dead city. As far as the eye can see, they can vaguely see the curve of Shanlian.
On the road, we could see different kinds of animals biting each other, as well as plants of strange shapes, but the car was going very fast, so we were not effectively attacked.
Only the carriages occasionally made banging noises, which were the "cannonballs" fired by the mutant plants. According to the boss, some plants would use fruit as a means of attack, and that stuff was quite corrosive, and once it touched a person's body, it would kill them or at least peel off their skin!
The mutant animals are smarter.
After comparison, they would rather chase the hunting team's cars with slower speeds and lower chassis. They even let out a few long roars from time to time, and it is unclear whether they are announcing their possessions to their own kind or intimidating the humans in the car.
As the car moved farther and farther away from the city, until even the tall city walls were lost in the haze, everything Su Tang saw gradually changed.
The animals were getting bigger and bigger. The ones I encountered before were only about one meter long, but now they were two to three meters long, and at least as tall as a person's waist. Their movements were more ferocious, their teeth were sharper, and just a passing shadow was enough to make Su Tang tense all his muscles.
The plants were no less impressive. Some were almost at the same height as the off-road vehicle. Their long branches were raging in the air, looking extremely hungry, as if they wanted to stuff all the creatures they caught into the flower buds at the bottom and digest them all.
Su Tang felt silently that the world that had once only been described in words on the Internet was like a long scroll slowly unfolding, with more and more real things appearing before his eyes.
The complex inner feelings only took up a short period of time, and more time was spent on carefully observing everything.
At the same time, her tool-making instinct made her unconsciously design in her mind.
What kind of weapon would be more suitable here?
"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? Or... are you scared?" Nan Hong beside her pushed her with a smile. Su Tang shook his head, "I'm looking outside, trying to learn more about the situation outside the city."
Nan Hong made a “tsk” sound and whispered, “What a little fledgling.”
Seeing that her hostility seemed to be less intense, Su Tang smiled and continued, "Yes, I am a novice. If there is anything I did not do well, I hope Sister Nan can give me more advice."
Nan Hong seemed a little proud when she heard this, but she was still in a bad mood, "Troublesome girl!" After a pause, she glanced at Su Tang's crotch seemingly inadvertently, "What is that thing you are carrying?"
In order to make it less conspicuous, Su Tang used the leather given by his boss to make a cover for the crossbow. There was a sturdy wooden buckle on the back, which was just right for the belt of the combat uniform, and the end was tied to the thigh, so that it was convenient to draw and release.
But it obviously caught Nanhong's attention.
Perhaps, it’s not just Nanhong.
She noticed that while they were talking, several people were looking at her with varying degrees of attention, including Chen Qiangshi.
"It's a crossbow."
As she spoke, she took out the crossbow and handed it to Nan Hong. She would see it sooner or later anyway, so she might as well be generous. She had a good impression of Nan Hong. Whether she liked or disliked him, it was clear on her face. Such people were actually the easiest to deal with. If she could gain his favor, it would be better to give him some pointers when hunting than to rely entirely on her own groping.
Nanhong was stunned. In the hunting team, weapons were relatively private items, and it was very uncommon to show them to others so openly.
However, it was still a good feeling to be trusted by someone, even if the other person was a novice. So after taking the crossbow, she looked at Su Tang deeply.
As he was being watched, Su Tang sensitively felt a subtle warmth flowing into his chest.
She paused for a moment before withdrawing her hand and quickly returned to normal, but her smile deepened.
Nanhong didn't know much about weapons like bows and crossbows. She just felt that although the one in her hand was made of wood, it was very delicate and easy to use, especially suitable for women.
She couldn't help but think, "Who did this?"
"A deceased elder..." The fact that he could make tools must not be revealed.
Nan Hong regretted, "What a pity, this thing looks very good."
The implication was that she also wanted one. Su Tang had no way of responding and could only smile.
At this time, a male voice came from the side, "Let me take a look, do you mind?"
Su Tang twitched his lips. It was useless to mind... You have already snatched it from someone else...
The person who was stared at by Nan Hong with empty hands but remained silent was Yuan Jianyan, the fire-type mutant whom Su Tang had met yesterday.
His actions and words showed his strength, and he obviously held an extraordinary position in the hunting team. He carefully stroked the crossbow, and then handed it to Feng Hao on the opposite side. The man's eyes were shining, and his enthusiasm for the crossbow was higher than that of others.
Could it be that they were from the same industry? Su Tang had such a guess.
Feng Hao looked very focused, and it seemed that he would not return it to her for a while. Su Tang blinked and asked Nan Hong and Yuan Jianyan about the weapons.
With the opportunity of the crossbow, their attitudes became much more relaxed, and they patiently began to educate the rookies.
Nanhong did most of the talking.
For example, in a long battle, the psychics also need weapons. After all, the use of psychics is not unlimited. When the source of power in the body is exhausted, they must use weapons as a follow-up. Hot weapons are controlled items, and there are not many of them, so it is not easy to get them. Moreover, even if there are weapons without bullets, it is useless. Speaking of bullets, they are definitely a huge consumable. If you don't have a lot of money, don't even think about it.
In addition, not all battles are suitable for hot weapons. For example, against mutated plants, cold weapons definitely have the upper hand.
For various reasons, people nowadays tend to carry cold weapons.
The three major bases and the Dead City all have factories that specialize in refining cold weapons. But when it comes to things made on assembly lines, even Yuan Jianyan, who habitually has a paralyzed face, shows contempt.
Nanhong returned the favor by taking out her own dagger to show Su Tang, claiming that it was a rare treasure.
Su Tang watched it very seriously.
But soon, she was disappointed.
If you are not picky about the material, it is still okay. High-carbon stainless steel is close to the quality of the 420 model in her world. However, this knife is obviously formed by wire cutting of steel plates, and has not undergone further molding and forging processes. As a result, the blade is not only brittle and lacks toughness, but also not hard enough. Even if it is sharpened, it will not last long against mutant beasts. If it is hard, it may break directly!
No wonder they are jealous of the crossbow.
Su Tang looked up at Feng Hao, who smiled at her and returned the crossbow.
Noticing that his eyes met with Yuan Jianyan's for a moment, she also smiled. I dare not say that what she made is unique, but without a solid foundation, it is quite difficult to imitate! Want to learn from others in such a short time... hehe...
Feeling pleased with herself secretly, she put away the crossbow.
Continue chatting with Nanhong who has opened up.
On the other hand, Yuan Jianyan felt quite regretful after receiving Feng Hao's hint.
Feng Hao is a third-level metal ability user who can use his ability to transform metal into various shapes. He is also very research-minded and interested in making weapons. Therefore, his first thought when he saw the crossbow was to let Feng Hao copy a metal crossbow based on it.
The killing power is incomparable to that of wooden products. Thinking of this, even he felt excited!
pity……
The process is too complicated...
However, at this moment, he inadvertently saw Su Tang's expression. Although she was smiling, but... was she proud?
But, what reason does she have to be proud?
Because she is the owner of the crossbow?
No no, not at all!
Could it be... Yuan Jianyan suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart was shaken for a moment.
This woman might be more useful than he thought!
Let's wait and see, maybe the plan needs to be changed...
He straightened his back and looked out the window. It was almost noon and they were almost at their destination.
Su Tang, who had stopped asking for advice, also looked ahead of the car. The mountain peaks that had been shadowy before had mostly revealed their original appearance. The dense forest at the foot of the mountain was not full of vitality, but dark green. In the thick ink and heavy colors, she seemed to see a beast that was quietly dormant, waiting for the arrival of its prey.
