Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

"What about you? Why do you want to leave your own safe tribe to travel?" This is also Xiaoyu's biggest confusion. In this world, it is very precious to have a tribe in which to live, especially when there are two women who have mastered a lot of things. In the absence of resources, shouldn't they become female chieftains and command their own tribe?

"Ah, for some very complicated reasons, you can understand it as...a coming-of-age ceremony?" Xiao Xiao found a more appropriate way of saying, "If you pass the test, you are considered an adult."

"That's it." Xiaoyu has no problem. The coming-of-age ceremony is in her tribe, but I heard that there are some in other tribes. The only requirement is that you must bring back a pound of scrap iron by yourself.

Their tribe has a furnace, which can turn iron scraps into rough iron plates, and then process them into weapons and armor. They are the most powerful tribe nearby. However, because there is no food nearby, they have to trade with other tribes.

I heard from the elders that in the earliest days, they even engaged in looting, but looting means death, and if there are too many dead people, they will not be able to make up for it, and after the nearby tribes are robbed, they will no longer be with them. In the end, most of the newborns were cursed.

Now they don't do this kind of thing anymore, they just get stuck on the road for several days, demanding that other tribes have to pay them tolls before they can go there, otherwise they will send people back with injuries.A wounded person was doing food, and later, other tribes honestly paid the money to cross the road, which was at least more cost-effective than being injured.

"So, they will also ask us to collect protection money?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously. By the way, do such road bandits really exist?Dare to rob a tank?

Facts have proved that there is indeed a tank. The tank drove through the yellow sand area and entered the ruins in the north. This seems to be a former industrial area. Rusty iron frames and huge pots can be seen everywhere, as well as pipes and broken plant.

This is a paradise for scavengers, because there are many useful things buried under the dust and ruins, but the people of the Iron Scrap clan entrenched here and did not let anyone go in to pick things up. They declared that it was called "Iron Dragon" God's chassis, only they have the right to scrap metal here.

Even if you just pass by, you need to pay them a toll. As soon as you enter the ruined area, seven or eight figures appear on the pipe racks on both sides. They put down a few iron chains, and the rusted container full of stones falls down the road blocked.

"Outsiders, how dare you come in without paying the iron money! You must be punished, leave your car, dedicate it to Lord 'Iron Dragon', and then get out!" They generally don't kill people, because the population replenishment in the wasteland is far away. Much slower than loss, killing too many people, it is easy to form a death feud, and their own losses are also great-because population is also a kind of precious wealth.

"What should I do?" Xiaoyu held her own weapon, a spear, but Xiaoxiao shook her head at her, "Come down!" She signaled Xiaoyu to enter the car, and then pulled the hatch closed.

"Get ready to shoot them!" Although the container full of scrap iron and stones might not be able to be smashed with a single shot, the iron frame on the roadside and the walls of the factory building are not that thick.

"I have never been the only one who collects protection fees, and no one collects protection fees from me!" A high-explosive shell was loaded into the chamber, and the turret turned to the iron frame on one side, and there was a relatively flat place behind it.Although they don't know what it is, everyone recognizes the turret, and they definitely don't think it is a fire stick. After all, they still have a lot of firearms.

"Boom!" The iron frame flew all over the sky, and then the barrel turned to the rear. The tank ran over the ruins, hit the wall of the factory building, and went around from the other side.

"Quick, hurry up and report to your lord, a great iron dragon is needed to stop these intruders!" Soon, piercing sirens echoed over the factory area.The two back-to-back people are gradually fused together, the inverted limbs and palms are interlocked to form twisted feet, the two heads are separated up and down, and the neck part extends outward, like a twisted and weird crocodile.

All in all, just looking at this thing, the mental killing effect is already strong enough, not to mention that this thing has a thick skin that can resist all types of iron-pipe rifle bullets in the wasteland, a layer of secreted resin The same hardened shell is not afraid of flames at all, and the bite force can bite off any wastelander's armor and ordinary metal barricades.

And these things that drop the SAN move fast and attack quickly. Finally, such a troublesome thing still lives in groups, and there are a lot of them. Like the runners, the tearing beasts also rely on solar energy to obtain daily energy, basking them You won't starve to death, but, like runners, you won't starve to death.

These creatures that can obtain activity energy from the sun have two characteristics. First, the blood is no longer warm-blooded, and the green body fluid is cold. Some people suspect that these things are not living creatures at all, because of the theory of temperature-changing organisms Will go to sleep at low temperature.

Second, the sun can only keep them from starving to death, and hunger will make mutant creatures migrate and become violent. Similarly, rainy days are also when they attack any human stronghold in groups. Usually at this time, it is difficult for humans to use Fire is a weapon to dispel them.

Crowds of tearing beasts formed a crimson tide, about seventy or eighty of them, but the momentum was like the flood of the doomsday, making people have no courage to stop and fight.

"Something is rushing over." Xiaoyu's expression suddenly became serious, "Oops, there is no way to hide here!" The lower four floors of the buildings on both sides were blocked by cement, iron plates and various sundries. .

"Woo!" A sidecar motorcycle flew over the wreckage of the transport plane, and the two riders on it who fell to pieces didn't even want the weapons on the ground, and ran back with their legs free.

Come to God, quickly move the springboard according to the small instructions, and reload.

The turret slowly turned to the rear, aiming at the chasing train, "Boom!" The depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile blasted a huge hole in the front of the car in an instant, the steam pressure pipe burst, the water tank leaked, and the pressure dropped. The train is left behind

"This, what kind of weapon is this?" The wasteland returns to the wasteland. Although people's way of life has been reduced to the tribal era, they have no cognition. Gunpowder, guns and homemade cannons are not incomprehensible witchcraft. It is understood that this is a very powerful gunpowder weapon.

Of course, from the weight of the cannonball, she also knew that the power of this thing is not low, but she didn't expect that she could defeat the Iron Flake Clan's "Iron Dragon" with one blow.

The iron dragon is very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the fact that it can only run on rails, the Iron Scrap clan would have ruled the entire coastline. This thing runs fast, is strong, and is covered in armor. Moving this damn thing, even if you get the legendary ancient military firearms, the effect is very limited.

On the contrary, the junk guns, rifles, and crossbows of the Iron Scrap Clan can harvest heads happily behind the steel plate, and it walks through the industrial ruins, and the efficiency of picking up waste is very high. Ordinary aliens dare not attack the people on the iron dragon at all. , because it is too difficult to deal with

"Tank gun, how far is the abandoned city you mentioned?"

"Three, no, four days' journey" Without a map or GPS positioning, Xiaoyu can't tell the exact distance in kilometers, so he can only judge according to his own experience. - Personal walking for 3 days, that is, less than About 60 kilometers, it seems that it can be reached within two hours.

What needs to be considered here is that the speed of walking in the hot desert area is not the ordinary mountain road or the difficulty of walking, not to mention that the actors are not modern farmers with enough food, warm clothes and shoes.

The actual 3-day journey may be shorter, not even 50 kilometers. If you consider the need to collect food and water and avoid monsters along the way, this distance may be further shortened.

Abandoned City, a deserted city standing in the middle of the desert, where mutated creatures are entrenched, but there are not many runners. It is said that there is a large settlement in the center of the city, a settlement built around the ancient city hall.

It is the farthest place Xiaoyu has ever been to, but the last time she went there was seven or eight years ago, and her mother took her there, because only this big settlement can grow herbs.

As for the reason for not staying here, the reason is very simple, because the ruins of the city often attract a lot of mutated creatures. Even if it is safe for a while, it will be difficult to withstand the runners and other monsters that are constantly migrating over time.

If there were people and information that Xiaoxiao was looking for, only this place called "White Town" could be found. The name came from the tall city hall with Roman architectural style.

Of course, this also confirms a small guess, that the world has become like this, it should not be a nuclear war or at least not all nuclear wars, otherwise, the administrative center where the city hall is located is second only to the industrial center The object of the second nuclear explosion.

The area of ​​the abandoned city is very large, and the buildings are all modern buildings, but a considerable part has collapsed. It seems that a sense of desolation emerges spontaneously. Metal objects such as vehicles and street signs on the roadside have long been demolished by scavengers. Clean, without leaving any traces of the past.

There are only a few broken wooden boards that are occasionally seen hanging on the buildings, and arrows are drawn with paint to guide people to find the Baicheng Town hidden in the abandoned city.

"Boom?" The tank engine roared a few times and stopped moving. "What happened?" Xiaoxiao kicked Zhaoxia who was in the driver's seat in front.

Reluctantly, he said that it's okay to use fuel, my lord, do you have fuel?

"No" Xiaoxiao opened the hatch cover, "Okay, now it seems that I can only leave the car and walk."

"This, this is such a pity." Xiaoyu looked at such a big lump of metal, which still exuded the heat of a forced march just now, with a look of regret.

"It's not a pity, just wait until you find the fuel and come back to drive. Besides, there is no fuel, this thing is not much different from scrap iron." Xiao Xiao didn't mind, "Originally I have other vehicles, but here It's not suitable for use."

There is also a longbow, but her craftsmanship is very rough. In such a place full of buildings, it is really not a good place to fly a helicopter. If you are not careful, you will crash into some kind of crash.

"Here, can you use a gun?" A new gun that still smelled like gun oil was thrown into Xiao Yu's arms, and the latter quickly caught it, unbolted the gun and checked it, "Yes, I can use it." Both scavengers and hunters use guns. Although this kind of standard military firearms has never been used, there is no difference in principle and use between crudely made iron-barrel rifles and this thing.

The iron pipe rifles used by the locals are made of seamless steel pipes, springs and thimbles. Of course, this isn't much of a drawback for wastelanders who don't have enough ammo.

The ammunition they use is generally black powder, and the better one is maroon powder. Military ammunition will explode the chamber when loaded. You can hit it, as long as you are not afraid of bombing or gas blowing out your eyes.

As for the accuracy, what accuracy can a rough-made smoothbore gun have? Most of the time, the role of iron-barrel rifles is to have a large number of people and have momentum. Of course, the fatality rate is also high, especially if they are crudely made. The warhead penetrates into the human body and is easy to open

Crack, forming an effect similar to claw bombs.

Of course, it is easy to crack if it is accidentally hit on a hard object, and it even cracks instantly after flying out. Of course, the bullets used by hunters are all refined by themselves. At least one can be guaranteed within 10 to 20 meters. hit rate.

"Put it on! You need more protection than us." Xiaoyu threw a bulletproof vest and matching helmet to Xiaoyu, and the latter hurriedly put on this vest, which was expensive at first glance. She I haven't seen body armor, but since it's so heavy, it must have a role.

"Crack! It's up to you to lead the way." Although there is a wooden sign indicating, Xiaoxiao is afraid that this may be some kind of trap, and it is better to let a guide hired by himself lead the way.

Holding a heavy rifle in his hand, the 4.9kg XCOM heavy tactical assault rifle is quite heavy, and this sense of weight is synonymous with reliability and professionalism for wastelanders. On the contrary, Xiaoxiao gave her a shot On the contrary, she felt that the lightweight AR-15 was not very reliable.

As for Xiaoxiao, what she has in her hand is the M290 squad machine gun produced by XCOM, a lively 7.62X54R Russian-made armor-piercing bullet, cheerful burst fire and a 2x optical sight. In the hands of a qualified machine gunner, she can get one The people in the class couldn't lift their heads. The name and shape of standard American weapons were the power and reliability of Soviet weapons.

O

After all, it was produced to pay for aliens, and it is not easy to cause effective damage if it is not powerful enough. In this wasteland, the metal breastplates of wastelanders less than 3 mm can basically be regarded as ineffective.

And Zhaoxia, who has no experience with guns at all, can only hold the "newcomer weapon" a fully automatic shotgun that Xiao Xiaosai gave her in a very humiliating manner. With her arm strength, she can control the muzzle jumping well. A melee scavenger too.

After 12 rounds of shotgun, the enemy nearest to her must be beyond rescue.

It is a good weapon to save a melee fighter with great strength but great marksmanship, and it can also effectively prevent her from hitting her own people with bullets.

"Full the magazine, bring as many bullets as you can, and never have too much ammunition!" Sitting on the tank body, Xiaoxiao began to distribute ammunition. There is no way, this environment and state, if you say it will not jump out of anything strange She doesn't believe anything.

As for her hunting bow, the bow is still usable, but the arrows are not. The shaft made of keel has been cracked by the dark lines, and the arrow will collapse after using it again. I have to find a way to make a new high-strength arrow shaft that can be used repeatedly. Really, thanks to the thickness of this thing, it should be called a short spear. The force that deforms the material is positively related to the cross-section. It is difficult for an arrow shaft of this thickness to collapse due to vibration.

The golden bullets were pulled out from the ammunition box and poured into Xiaoyu’s ammunition bag like a waterfall. To be honest, she has never seen so many military bullets in her life. By the way, bullets, coins and bottle caps are She said that it can be exchanged for things, and it is considered currency that is not currency.

The most expensive bullets were bullets, and the most expensive bullets were military bullets. Of course, ordinary reloaded bullets were also expensive, but the crude bullets made by the survivors were cheaper.

The ancient coins can also be exchanged for money because most of the coins contain steel, iron, copper and other materials. It is really not good. After drilling, wearing a thread is also a heavy scale armor with a good defense. At least it is enough in the wasteland. up.

As for the bottle caps because they contain aluminum, the waste soil does not have the conditions for electrolytic aluminum. If you want to get aluminum, you have to go to hell to find precious materials such as aluminum alloys, or you can only recycle these bottle caps.

In essence, these are substitute currencies for barter. In addition, cans, biscuits, and any kind of food are more hard currencies, but these things have a shelf life and their value varies greatly from place to place, so they are rarely traded. The team thinks of it not as a currency, but as goods.

"Suppress the bomb! All the magazines are full." Xiaoxiao moved out a large stack of empty magazines, as for saying

She doesn't care about the spring problem anymore, anyway, she only uses it once, let alone put it in her backpack, the time is basically independent of the main time axis and does not pass, so naturally there is no problem of spring aging.

The loss is at most the amount in the hands of Zhaoxia and Xiaoyu. "12 rifle magazines per person, 4 pistol magazines, oh, Zhaoxia, you just need to bring a bullet bag, you are a shotgun.

"A large string of magazines jingled on his body, but Xiao Yu didn't care about it, and looked a little proud instead.

As I said just now, there is no difference between bullets and money. Such a large string of magazines is like someone holding a huge check in his hand. The human face is already very restrained.

"Okay, let's go after loading." When leaving, Xiaoxiao destroyed the machine gun of the tank. But not so easy to disassemble.

As for the issue of wastelanders picking up this tank, pick it up as soon as they pick it up, anyway, it's a one-off for them.

In terms of logistics, the things of the Yankees are comparable to the Germans. They have not considered what to do afterwards. Of course, the performance is different. The Germans are works of art that have not considered how to repair logistics, while the Yankees It is a luxury that the poor have never thought about how to use.

If they dare to install a gas turbine, it’s a luxury that they haven’t thought about how other people’s logistics will be used. If there’s no oil, just refuel, if it’s broken, just repair it, if the part can’t be repaired, just replace it——for wastelanders , Let's wash up and sleep.

While Xiaoxiao and the others were arranging their weapons and distributing ammunition, another group of people were silently observing them.

"Boss?"

"Forget it." The wastelander with a face full of wind and sand put down the binoculars, "The idea is a bit tricky

55

O

"It's just a broken chariot, and it broke down. When it comes to a surprise attack at night, it will be .oo..." His subordinates have different opinions, because he doesn't have a telescope and can't see what Xiaoxiao and the others are doing. It's a gorgeous looking guy, and a moving chariot.

"Besides, their chariots definitely don't have shells. Those kind of things have long passed their shelf life."

"Shut up!" The boss slapped his men on the head, "They have 3 guns and at least a thousand rounds of ammunition, how many bullets do you have to shoot at her? She can fight with us all night, no When it comes to how many people died, those slave cannon fodder are not worth much, but how much ammunition do we have to consume?"

Bullets are money, how can you be so bold to fight with a team with a machine gun, if someone dares to carry a machine gun, it means that they don't care about money.

And this also shows that the opponent is not completely unprepared when they go out, and there may be other armed forces behind them-they still have to make a living in this area!I can't live with the days to come.

Now, the people under him stopped talking. When it came to robbing things and women, they were overjoyed, and when it came to gun battles, the hard currency that consumed the bullets in their hands became more and more cowardly.

Chapter 76 We dare not say anything

Chapter 76

Walking is not difficult for Xiaoxiao, Zhaoxia and Xiaoyu

, although she still has spare tanks and armored vehicles in her bag, but as we all know, in

On the wasteland, no matter whether it is a gas station or a vehicle accessory, it is impossible to find it.

Instead of using it for transportation, it is better to keep it for when you need to attack or run. Of course, for the little boy, these heavy equipment that cannot be repaired by himself and are not easy to repair and explain the source are basically disposable items. Throw it away when it runs out of oil or breaks down. Anyway, it didn’t cost money.

The city ruins are slightly easier to walk than the wild roads. Even if the road surface is severely cracked and yellow weeds come out from all the gaps, the wreckage of the buildings on both sides still blocks some wind and sand, and the flat road surface is better than the soft sand. easier to walk on.

City ruins are ideal homes for survivors of this generation, not only because of the reinforced concrete buildings that are safe against aliens and robbers, but also because of the city's sewer system.

The severe desertification of the land does not mean that the precipitation is low. In fact, according to Xiaoyu, the rainfall here is actually quite large, but the vegetation is severely damaged. There is not much water and soil left at all, and all the water has penetrated.

oHowever, cities that have not been bombed by powerful weapons such as nuclear bombs have relatively complete sewers and water storage systems. Rainwater will permeate along the hardened road surface and accumulate in the sewers to form a concrete underground river.

The water infiltrated by the sediment and road surface, although turbid and smelly due to the silt accumulated in the sewer, is much cleaner than the rainwater collected by the simple rain collector and the domestic sewage obtained by steaming in the sun.
