Chapter 534 Mutated Zombies
"Chip, turn on the scanning function!"
Enzo ordered in his heart, this garbage dump is too big and full of garbage corroded by radiation. It is really difficult to find useful resources, but using chips can make it easier.
Turning on the scanning function of the chip, Enzo looked around.
At least there was nothing edible in the surrounding area, and all the garbage was contaminated by radiation and became worthless.
"Damn, everything here has been swept away."
Wayne kicked a garbage can away, his face looking aggrieved. He had been rummaging around for a long time, but still found nothing.
The same goes for other people in the small team.
"It seems that we can only move forward."
Uriah stood up and his face became solemn. The garbage dump covers a vast area, but for most scavengers, the only areas they can set foot on are the outer areas, and few people dare to enter the interior where resources actually exist.
This is mainly because there are many mutant beasts living deep in the garbage dump.
In addition to small insect mutants, mutant rats can be called the masters of the garbage dump. They may not be very powerful individually, but there are thousands of them. A hundred mutant rats can eat a person in just ten seconds. All that was left to eat was the bones.
"Do you want to...move on?" Miles hesitated.
For scavengers in underground shelter 72, the scavenging area is usually only around the garbage dump. Wayne and others also went deep into the garbage dump three years ago, but that time, they unfortunately encountered two mutated zombies, and one of their companions was torn to pieces on the spot. Eat.
Therefore, that experience also left a deep psychological shadow on several people.
"The mutated rats in the garbage dump only move in groups at night." Uriah shook his head and said, "So, even if we continue to move forward, the danger we may encounter will only come from mutated zombies."
"But don't forget, Enzo is already a hunter!"
"His current combat power shouldn't be a problem when facing a mutated zombie. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problem."
In a small team of several people, Uriah is the one with the wisdom.
Not only because of his rational and calm personality, he is also brave and careful. Although the experience three years ago also left a psychological shadow on him, with the emergence of powerful hunters in the small team, Uriah quickly overcame it. This shadow.
Moreover, there is a more important reason.
That is, there are not many options left for the small team. There are still two hours at most before dark. The few people must find enough resources as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if they can leave the garbage dump before dark, they will not be able to return to the shelter. .
And not being able to get back to the shelter meant spending the night in the wilderness.
This kind of risk is obviously not what Uriah is willing to bear, so even if he may encounter danger when entering the depths of the garbage dump, he insists on doing so.
After all, surviving in the wasteland inherently involves various dangers!
"Okay, it's decided!"
In the end, Wayne made up his mind and said, "We will go to the depths of the garbage dump, but we only have one hour. We must find enough food as soon as possible and return to the shelter immediately."
The others had no objections.
So, Wayne and others walked towards the depths of the garbage dump. Compared to the periphery, there was more garbage here, and much of it was not contaminated by radiation. Uriah even saw an unopened can.
"Oh my God, is this heaven?" Casey muttered.
The resources deep in the garbage dump were much richer than those outside. A few people collected a lot of food without much rummaging, including chocolate bars that were loved by the residents of the upper floating city.
When Wayne saw the black stone, he couldn't help but take a lick. The sweet taste had a hint of bitterness, which almost made him bite off his tongue. However, the next moment, Wayne put away the chocolate.
He would not enjoy this delicious food alone.
After leaving the depths of the garbage dump, no one among the several friends can share a small piece. I believe everyone will be conquered by this wonderful taste.
Bang!
Just as a few people were collecting resources deep in the garbage dump, a slight sound suddenly came from not far away. Enzo's eyes flashed and he looked over.
"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his mind.
A faint blue luster appeared in the eyes, and the outline of a humanoid creature appeared in the field of vision. Perhaps due to the interference of surrounding radiation, the chip did not detect an approaching zombie and gave a main warning.
"Everyone, be careful!"
At this time, Uriah seemed to have noticed something. He quickly pulled out the wooden dagger from his waist and stared ahead with vigilance.
The next moment, something suddenly exploded not far away.
The zombie, who was more than two meters tall, with his whole body ulcerated by radiation, revealing blood-red muscle lines under his skin, roared and rushed out. A tongue that was one meter long, with sharp barbs, swung wildly in his mouth.
"It's a mutated zombie!" Wayne's expression changed drastically.
Next to him, Casey was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. The fear from three years ago flooded into his heart again, and warm liquid flowed directly from his crotch.
Bang bang bang!
With a burst of noise, the long-tongued zombie rushed over. Wayne gritted his teeth and pulled out the broken knife on his body, and was about to rush forward to fight the opponent desperately.
However, at this time, Enzo was one step faster.
He was seen with nimble steps, and he suddenly jumped into the air, his hands turned into claws, and he reached towards the long-tongued zombie like a lone wolf, instantly tearing off a piece of flesh and blood from the opponent's body.
The long-tongued zombies contaminated by radiation have long lost their sense of pain.
But Enzo's attack completely angered him. The long-tongued zombie gave up attacking others and turned around to lock his eyes on Enzo. His cloudy eyes were filled with the desire for blood and raw meat.
call out!
The long tongue shot out like a sharp arrow. Enzo dodged sideways, but he didn't expect that the barbs on the long blood-red tongue protruded instantly and shot out like poisonous needles, leaving a scratch on Enzo's face. mark.
"Enzo!!"
Wayne exclaimed, held the broken knife in his hand, and was about to rush forward to fight the long-tongued zombie, but was stopped by Uriah.
"Don't go and die, it's useless!"
Uriah hugged Wayne from behind and growled, "If Enzo, as a hunter, can't deal with mutated zombies, what can he do even if you are added to it?"
Wayne didn't care so much and insisted on helping.
"It's okay, Boss Wayne."
At this time, Enzo, who was not far away, shook his head and stroked his cheek scratched by the sharp thorns with his hand. A slight smile appeared in his eyes, and he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: It’s been a long time since I’ve been injured, and moreover, I was hit by something that can’t even be considered a first-order life form.”
After saying that, the luster in his eyes became dangerous.
Not far away, the long-tongued zombie seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but take a half step back, roaring in a threatening manner.
But the next moment, Enzo had already moved.
With a speed exceeding the knight level, almost in an instant, he rushed towards the zombie. The long bloody tongue was thrown out again, but Enzo dodged it nimbly. Instead, he came to the zombie and grabbed the opponent's tongue with one hand. .
Bah!
Enzo's arm suddenly exerted force and pulled out the long bloody tongue. The tearing pain made the mutated zombie roar and wave his arm to catch Enzo.
Bang!
Without giving the opponent a chance to attack, Enzo kicked the mutated zombie away with a flying kick, then quickly stepped forward and crushed the opponent's head with one kick.
The ugly head exploded like a watermelon, and turbid brain matter and fluid flowed out.
Not far away, Wayne and others were stunned.
Including Uriah, several people opened their mouths wide with disbelief written on their faces. Casey couldn't help but rub his eyes.
For how many people, the terrifying mutated zombies were killed just like that?
On the spot, Enzo waved his hand and wiped away the blood. Feeling the slight rise and fall in his chest, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Sure enough, this body is still too weak."
"It actually takes so much physical energy to deal with such a thing. If it's the wizarding world, even at the apprentice level, it's just a matter of witchcraft at best!"
Different levels of development in the world also lead to the strength and weakness of individual life.
The Aquamarine World is just a small plane. Gods have not even been born yet, and the most powerful beings may not exceed the third level. Therefore, this kind of mutated zombies that cannot even defeat first-level life forms can become the eyes of Wayne and others. Terror exists.
However, what is truly powerful about Aquamarine World is their technology.
As the crystallization of the wisdom of the sea blue people, the chip can play a huge role in the wizarding world, and what is even more frightening is that as the main body's spiritual power increases, the various functions of this chip will also grow.
"Is this... the end?" Casey muttered to himself.
"Are you okay? Enzo." At this time, Wayne couldn't help but ask. Although it seemed that Enzo had eliminated the mutated zombies with almost no effort, there was still a small scratch on Bu Duo's face. .
Although, the scar is almost invisible to the naked eye.
"I'm fine." Enzo shook his head.
"Don't worry, Boss Wayne." Next to him, Uriah also said, "The physique of the hunters is different from ours. For ordinary people, they can recover from no matter how serious the injury is, and they are immune to the zombie virus." Ability."
After being scratched by a zombie, the biggest threat is infection.
Therefore, in the wasteland, even if you encounter a single zombie, the best way is to run away, because no one is sure whether you will be scratched. Once infected, ordinary people can basically declare themselves waiting to die.
After all, there are only a few cases of hunters with alienated bodies.
"Everyone, pack up and prepare to leave."
It had been almost an hour since they entered the depths of the garbage dump. The backpacks of Wayne and others were already full. The harvest was much richer than before when they scavenged outside, so it was enough for the small team to last for a long time.
With a smile on Wayne's face, he and everyone left the depths of the garbage dump.
Nothing happened during the return process. The small team quickly walked out of the garbage dump. Wayne couldn't help but look back, glanced into the depths of the garbage dump, clenched his fist and said, "Just wait, I will definitely come back again!"
The rich harvest deep in the garbage dump makes Wayne's ambitions expand.
After this time, he was obviously no longer satisfied with scavenging on the periphery. Only deeper resources could satisfy his interests. Several other people in the small team also had the same idea, including Uriah.
"As far as I know, the deeper you go into the garbage dump, the richer the resources."
On the way back to the shelter, Uriah said, "I heard that a year ago, the scavengers in underground shelter 65 even picked up a broken mecha energy source deep in the garbage dump and sold it to the brigade. Got a hundred pounds of protein blocks.”
"Mecha energy source?" Wayne's eyes lit up.
The energy source is the core of controlling the mecha. Its principle is similar to that of a battery. It is usually located on the hardest chest part of the mecha. Only by providing kinetic energy through the energy source can the mecha exert powerful combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is also the core of a mecha.
“Oh my God, a hundred pounds of protein blocks?”
Casey murmured to himself and couldn't help but said, "If I eat alone, wouldn't I be able to finish it for several years, and I would just have to lie in bed every day?"
The protein block is made of an unknown material and has almost no taste, but it is very resistant to hunger. As long as you eat half of the block, you will not need to eat again for three to five days. It is the favorite food of the wastelanders.
"Don't worry, Casey."
Wayne patted Casey on the shoulder and said, "A hunter has appeared in our small team, and the days to come will definitely get better and better."
Several people walked quickly towards the shelter.
However, at this moment.
Enzo suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked forward. Wayne and others didn't know why, but they also stopped.
"What's the matter, Enzo?" Uriah asked.
Enzo didn't speak, and still looked forward. He frowned slightly until the chip in his mind gave a specific warning.
"Alert! Dangerous creatures are approaching, please stay away as soon as possible."
"Something is coming, everyone hide first."
Enzo spoke softly and raised his hand, and Wayne and others immediately hid in a ruins cave nearby.
Being able to sound an alarm through the chip means there is a threat to Enzo.
The state of this body is still too weak, so even slightly stronger beings cannot be dealt with by Enzo. Although losing this body will not pose a threat to the main body far away in the world of war ghosts, it is certainly a loss.
Not long after, there was a loud noise from ahead.
A mutated zombie with three heads suddenly crawled out of a deep pit, dragging a broken tail behind it and growing rapidly like a gecko.
"Chip, scan!"
Hiding in the ruins cave, Enzo looked outside, using the chip's scanning function to collect information about the mutated zombie.
"Target: Mutated zombie/Strength: 5.8/Physique: 9/Spirit: 1.2/Status: Tail cut off/Information introduction: A mutant among zombies, with three heads and powerful body healing ability. The speed is greatly increased when the tail is cut off. Improvement, but the duration cannot exceed ten minutes."
