Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

There will be heavy casualties.

However, such a monster did not live for three seconds in front of the girl in front of him. The hunter knelt down in awe and lowered his head. If there is a goddess of hunting in the world, then this one in front of him is the incarnation of the goddess...

"You can't eat it, Xiaoxiao looks at this big lump on the ground with regret, it's disgusting, can't these monsters eat it?

"Okay, what else do you need to hunt, I'll take you with me" The hunter couldn't say anything, he could only nod silently, like a broken machine that could only make a fixed response.

Hunting blue sheep, wild dogs hiding between buildings are also good prey, and even two half-sized wild boars were easily hunted, those scattered runners and monsters did not hinder at all, the hunter not only completed the task ahead of time, And the harvest is far richer than ever.

"This is what you call a car?" Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the truck in front of her. She said that a car is more like a metal frame and a pile of broken iron pieces plus a simple and rough electric motor. The biggest technological content is probably that one. After exhausting the battery pack I'm thinking about it.

"Forget it, I'll drive my own car." Shaking his head, Xiao Xiao took Zhaoxia and ran into the ruins of an underground garage. The hunter had searched there before, and he didn't remember that there were still usable vehicles there. An electric van is already the most expensive wealth in the entire settlement.

"Woo, the sound of a powerful gas turbine sounded in the underground garage, and the metal monster ran over the dusty ruins, and the broken metal fence that blocked the runners and the survivors flew out, and then was run over by the solid tracks , making a crunching sound.

A thick, heavy vehicle emerged from the shadows, "Hang up your truck, let's go!" The hunter's broken car made Xiaoxiao feel insecure.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to take out the most powerful land vehicle of mankind, a main battle tank weighing more than 50 tons, to see what other weird mutant creatures could cause trouble for herself.

"What is this?" The hunter has seen such things, but most of them are sleeping in the yellow sand and ruins, and all the useful things on them have been removed, leaving only a bare metal shell, of course, even so Well, this shell also brought a lot of help to the survivors, as long as they got in, locked the cover, and waited for the runners to disperse by themselves, they would be safe.

However, it was the first time he saw him moving, "Abrams, tank," Xiaoxiao threw out a roll of tow chains and asked the hunter to hang his broken car behind. With the power of this gas tiger, Not to mention a green leather-style electric broken car, even if it is attached to a car body, it will do.

Inside the truck are the prey and collections collected by the hunters. Hunters are not professional scavengers. They mainly collect food, but they also collect some materials in the ruins encountered during the hunting process.

For example, mushrooms, herbs, some edible grass seeds, tubers, etc. Of course, plastic bottles, cans, and all kinds of messy garbage are also indispensable, but those priorities are all at the back.

"Hang it up." The hunter hung up the tow chain quickly, and he didn't know where he should be. "You show the way" Xiaoxiao motioned for him to take the position of the machine gunner. Now it is Zhaoxia who is driving, and she has learned it. How to drive a tank, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't learn it, because she drives a tank, and no traffic police will stop her.

Thirty kilometers, for an almost brand-new tank, it can be reached in an hour at most. The roar of the gas turbine spreads unrestrainedly in the wilderness, and soon a large group of runners are dotted behind the little ones. However, people The legs couldn't run the engine, and soon these runners gradually turned into a shallow trail behind them.

The black shadow finally disappeared completely.

The so-called settlement is not an underground bunker, but a seaside ruin. Perhaps it used to be a resort hotel, but now more than half of it has been submerged by water. A corner of the building was obviously blown down by some weapon. The survivors used plastic sheets and Wood builds the settlement on the uppermost floors.

And near the bottom, there is a simple human lift and a pontoon. Obviously, the hunter's truck can barely pass the pontoon made of planks, plastic bottles and buckets, and drive into the garage at a certain height from the water surface. However, It is impossible for a small tank to drive up, she can only park this thing on the shore

The pontoon bridge can be disassembled. If a large group of runners pass by, they must be dismantled. They hide on this isolated island in the sea, waiting for the monsters to leave.Although mutant monsters are afraid of sea water, there are always some that can fly, jump and pounce on the outer wall, and then invade the lower floors.

Therefore, the people in the settlement closed all the lower floors, and built a block net made of wood and wire around the living floor, and the sharpened steel bars on the edges effectively prevented monsters from climbing and invading.

o It may be frightened by the small tank, the pontoon bridge is retracted, and on the building, there are also a few nervous men pointing at this side with worn-out rifles, as if thinking that some new monster is coming, until they see It was the hunter who was slightly relieved.

After the two sides exchanged some kind of dialect or secret code for a while, the floating suspension bridge was lowered again, and the hunter grabbed the rope to pull the floating bridge over and fasten it.

Soon, a few fairly strong men ran out of the building. After seeing the things in the cargo bucket, Xiao Xiao obviously felt that they were not so nervous, and it seemed that the harvest was really good.

Enter the settlement along the pontoon bridge. The first floor of the settlement is strictly speaking the fifth floor, but the bottom four floors are all in seawater. This floor is a garage and a temporary warehouse, filled with a smell of the sea, except for the trucks. The workshop was relatively clean, but wet kelp was hanging everywhere, and on the upper floor was stinking dried fish.

Several settlement survivors paddled grids made of plastic, foam boards, and wood to fish in the sea some distance away from the settlement. Their main food seemed to be these fishes.

Sit on the elevator, turn the winch hard to lift yourself to the No.20 floor, which is the living floor of the settlement. The floors from the No.17 to the [-]th floor were cut off by some kind of weapon. The survivors used plastic sheets They made simple rain collectors and solar steamers, and the storms near the sea can always bring them a lot of fresh water.

The population of the entire settlement does not exceed one hundred people, and it is about 60~70 people by visual inspection. "The limit number of natural biomes." Xiaoxiao silently thought that this is the limit number of a natural biome.

Only by breaking through this number can a race develop civilization and escape ignorance.There are hardly a few old people to be seen, and the number of children is not many. The number of young and middle-aged men is significantly less than the number of women. It seems that the situation is not good.

There are no shops in the settlement, only an exchange place. It seems to be in a state of bartering. Most of the daily necessities are shared, and everyone eats together. The elderly and pregnant women can share some fresh meat.

Of course, Xiaoxiao is not interested in their food, whether it is the stinky dried fish or seaweed, but, to be honest, these two things do provide them with enough nutrients and salt.

The survivors also planted some crops, such as potatoes and corn, which did not grow very well. After all, the crops grown in sand pots were expected to grow well.

Sena really thought too much, and there are some animals in the farm, four or five chickens and a few rabbits in cages.

Xiaoxiao needs to know what is happening in this world and what kind of dangers are there, after all, she has to stay here for more than half a year.For this, the hunter suggested that she could go to the elders.

The elders are the oldest and wisest people in the settlement. It sounds like the locals don't seem to understand what happened at the beginning. They seem to have been born since birth.

, This world is such a broken look.

The arrival of Xiaoxiao and the others did not cause any sensation in the settlement. Everyone has their own things to do. In this natural limit settlement, everyone has to work, and there is no extra time and leisure to care about other things. , otherwise they will all starve to death.

Only after dinner, they will have some social activities and chat about some recent events, but most of the time they are busy o stocking food, drying salt, managing water purifiers, going out to pick up waste, Fishing and launching to catch underwater shellfish and more.

As for force, Xiao Xiao estimated that it only takes one minute for Zhaoxia to kill the entire settlement, provided that they don't disperse, all the weapons are only three tattered rifles, which look older than her own age .

There are also two low-quality iron pipe guns made of iron pipes and a few pipe forks. There are quite a few spears or harpoons made of steel bars, but such armaments obviously do not pose any threat to themselves.

Have a cold

Chapter 74

The so-called elders are actually not very old, that is, they are 40 to 50 years old. Unlike their relatively young faces, they eat food with a lot of hard objects and lack vitamins all the year round, their hair falls out, and their teeth are almost rotten. He looked more like someone in his seventies.

In such a low-productivity tribe, the old man lived to this age is indeed a relatively long life. Seeing the small visit, the elder's expression was obviously stunned.

"It's really rare that there are guests from far away."

"It shouldn't be uncommon. I heard from your hunters that occasionally some caravans and migrating tribes pass by here." Xiaoxiao pulled a stool and sat down, while Zhaoxia stood behind her, looking Like a servant.

"No, we have never had a guest like you here." He seemed to have never experienced torture and sandstorms, "Let me guess, are you from the east coast or the desert in the south, or somewhere in the north? A big tribe?" The elder coughed a few times, drank a few sips of the dark unknown liquid from the bowl on the side, and then calmed down.

"Neither. To be more precise, we come from a world you have never heard of. However, what I am curious about is what is going on with the mutant creatures here?"

"That's it, the elder put down the bowl and fell into a brief silence. The small answer was very skillful. In this environment and context, the world that has never been heard of generally

It is not reminiscent of another world, but more of an isolated place that has been rebuilt or has not suffered much disaster.

"Mutated creatures, what else could be going on, that's the way it is, a little bit to the east, a little bit to the west, every day is a little different than yesterday." The elder didn't care about the small question, as if someone asked Just like asking a common-sense question, the other party knows by default.

"I mean what are those green things? We don't have any of them over there."

"Really?" The elder looked suspicious, but Xiao Xiao quickly threw out a stack of photos, "Hey, isn't our thing over there cute?" On it are monsters and aliens that have been photographed before. corpse.

"Well oooooo it's really very different." The elder nodded, it really doesn't look like a human, and it's a bit different from the mutated creatures here.

"That green oil, something like grease."

"I'm asking how this kind of stuff came about? Shouldn't it be caused by ordinary natural mutations?"

"I'm not sure about this. I vaguely remember that it was like this since the time of my grandfather's grandfather a long, long time ago. We only know that most of the mutants produce this thing." Apparently the elder understands something Also very limited.

"Don't you have any government or organized power here?" It seems that this elder knows only a little more than others, and it seems that he can only find people with remnants of organizational structure and ruling structure. place to figure out what's going on here.

After all, even in order to maintain the system, they still need to activate the propaganda machine to tell their own people who the enemy is, how it came, what kind of history it has, etc., how this regime was established, and so on.

Of course, tribes like this also have historical records, but they mostly focus on specific transactional records, such as the day a newborn was born, the day of high tide disaster, etc., and the abstract part is rarely recorded.

"Government, what's that?"

"An institution that manages the people, organizes production, and maintains the activities of most people generally appears among those large forces."

"I don't know." The elder shook his head, "If there is such an institution, why don't they come here? We still have quite a few people here, so there probably isn't one. If you really want to find such an institution I can't help you with anything."

"Then where can I find people with good information?" Xiao Xiao took another step back. After all, looking at this bird, it is normal for the rule to collapse, so intelligence agents and others are also good inquirers, but these guys Well-informed belongs to well-informed, vigilance and suspicion are also heavy, Xiaoxiao is not sure if she can hide it.

"You can consider going to the abandoned city to the north to try your luck. There used to be a big settlement there, but there is no news about it. They used to do business with people in the north. There are quite a few people. Maybe there is someone you want to find. That kind of person." The elder's expression became more relaxed, "If you want to find a guide, we can provide one here, but you have to pay the price for exchanging one."

Traveling in the wasteland, the probability of the guide returning to the tribe is not high, and most importantly, it takes a long time for the guide to go out, which means that the tribe will lose labor. Therefore, it is necessary to spend enough to "buy" a person resources.

This is also the tribe's way of survival. Take out intelligence and information and exchange materials necessary for survival. When necessary, population can also be traded without damaging the tribe's ability to reproduce.

"What do you need?"

"Food, parts, fuel, anything is fine. Ah, we don't want that kind of waste paper, but weird metal pieces are fine."

"Waste paper, someone trades paper?" The waste paper here is obviously not the kind of waste paper of ordinary people, Xiao Xiao instinctively thought of banknotes.

"Well, a few years ago, a group of travelers from the west to the stone forest ruins on the east coast did this. They used those small pieces of paper to deceive people, saying that they could exchange any kind of supplies with their caravans. , weapons are also available, some tribes were fooled, and then they never came back once they went, and there is no caravan."

"Do you have that kind of paper to keep? I'll exchange this with you to see." In Xiaoxiao's palm is a 7.62 rifle bullet, and the bullet is also a hard currency in the wasteland

0

"Well, no, we weren't fooled. What's the use of that piece of paper? Can you really change bullets?" The elder became interested. "Purely curious, I haven't seen a piece of paper that can be exchanged for anything." Xiao Xiao followed the elder's words, saying that since the formation of the human soul, her speaking skills have improved, and her brain is not completely occupied by the power to control the dragon's blood.

The only problem is that her human soul is shaped like a persona, a giant white python entrenched in the heart, with golden bumps on its back, which seem to be undeveloped dragon wings, I don't know if there will be anything Weird side effect.

At present, the only side effect is that when she uses some supernatural power brought by the persona, that is, psionic power, the image of "Persona: Bai Suzhen" will appear behind her, which looks the same as the substitute messenger.

"That's such a pity, what are you going to exchange for our people?" the elder asked. "Everything is fine except food."

Messy reserves, but food is a bit troublesome. She and Zhaoxia both eat a lot, so it's not worthwhile to replace food.

In the end, Xiaoxiao exchanged two almost brand-new SCARX assault rifles (XCOM standard rifles) and a box of bullets for the "guide". Judging from the attitudes of the elders and tribal people, it seems that the guide belongs to her by default, and The selling price is about the same.

The guide is a girl of about [-] years old, tall and fit, and is said to be an expert in scavengers in the tribe. However, the price of young and middle-aged men in the tribe is obviously more expensive, and this tribe has been attacked by alien species before, and a considerable number of men have fought against it. He is dead, and now he is even more unwilling to exchange the man.

Two rifles and a box of bullets are exchanged for an expert who is skilled in field survival, pathfinding and searching for supplies. Both parties feel that this price is very satisfactory. There are many scavengers. However, two rifles can arm two male soldiers. Sometimes they can also plunder the population of those small tribes for their own use.

"What's your name?"

"Fish, my name is fish," the girl replied, sitting a little awkwardly on the machine gunner's position of the tank. She had never seen such a large mechanical vehicle before, and she was afraid of breaking something.

"What the hell name?" Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "Forget it, I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on. To be honest, I really suggest you change your name if you plan to run with us."

Although the cyan thing doesn't eat people, she gets excited when she hears the word fish, and then finds that if there is no fish, the consequences are not very serious, but it is not easy to fool it.

"Change your name to what?" Xiaoyu tilted her head curiously. This name is very normal. She is called Yu because her father is a fisherman, so she uses the most familiar thing.

The elder brother was named Wang because he was a man who wanted to inherit his father's fishing business.

As for the father's name "Wooden Pulp", the mother is the only doctor in the tribe who knows how to use herbal medicine and knows some words and knowledge, so she has a more complicated name called "Lucy" (when used as a person's name, it means: light).

"You can think about it later. In other words, why did you want to work as a guide? How do you feel about being exchanged?"

"Is there anything strange? There are not many men in the tribe, and they cannot support so many people."

Fisherman is an out-and-out heavy physical work, which is not suitable for women at all, and the food found by hunting and scavenging is very limited, so the status of women is relatively much lower, unless it is her mother's herbal medicine A class of high-value doctors exists.

Xiaoyu seems to be accustomed to this. The women in the tribe are roughly divided into two types, one is a pure reproductive tool and half a labor force. Obviously, there is no way to live by collecting in the wasteland, so the status is not high;

The second type is women who have mastered some knowledge before the catastrophe. They have a high status, second only to the elders, and even higher than the military leaders of the tribe.Knowledge here refers to useful parts such as medicine, astronomy, and meteorology. Of course, knowledge such as planting is also useful. This is also the basis for the emergence of the profession of priestess during the transition from matriarchal clans to patriarchal clans in early human beings.

[So, even if you go back to the era of matriarchal tribes, female boxers who have not mastered survival skills will not have any status, and even live a miserable life. 】
