Chapter 95 Advance Camp(1/2)
The northern bank of the Red River wasteland is vast, with many distorted organisms and military bases in the Old World. Research centers can always discover some valuable things.
Because many roads here have been destroyed and cannot be repaired, and the environment is very complex, the army of the "First City" is difficult to enter on a large scale, and can only be explored in the form of small groups and small groups, so it has created a paradise for ruins hunters.
I don’t know how many people come and go here every year and try to survive. Several places in the mountains naturally formed forward camps of different sizes, providing food, clear water, weapons, ammunition, bandages, fuel, batteries and other necessities for hunters trying to penetrate the ruins of the mountains.
At the same time, these forward camps also provide safer rest space for the returned ruin hunters, so that their common diseases and minor injuries can be treated in a timely manner.
As long as you can provide enough supplies, even if you are seriously injured, a helicopter will bring you back to the original city and receive emergency treatment - this resource is said to be related to the military.
The camp that the "old tuner team" arrived was the one that penetrated the deepest mountains. Many places in front were already unable to drive, so they could only walk.
Jiang Baimian looked at it and took the general appearance of the camp into his eyes:
It is built on an ancient castle in the old world. It is a circle of stone walls outside, and the inner part is divided into five-story main building and attached houses scattered around it.
This has a relatively spacious square, which in the ancient times should have been used to train soldiers, but now it is full of cars.
Jiang Baimian noticed that in addition to the dense green plants on the outer walls of the castle, there were also a large number of bullet holes and obvious signs of burning fire.
All this shows that the place is not so stable.
After driving into the castle, finding a place to stop, Jiang Baimian led Shang Jianyao and the others through the sparse ruins hunters and into the "Cos Bar" located on the first floor of the main building.
It is said to be a bar, but there is no wine here most of the time. Occasionally, there is a caravan bringing some private brews to sell.
Long Yuehong just observed casually and found that most of the ruins hunters used this place as a restaurant. The only man sitting in front of the bar was not a drink in the cup he was holding, and it was a little sticky.
The man looked in his early thirties and had a messy face and had seen that he had not shaved for several days.
And their inconsolidity also shows that the man had sorted out his appearance in the past.
At this time, while drinking the things in the cup, he made a chewing sound from time to time, while looking down at the torn watch in his palm, his face full of grief.
"What happened?" Shang Jianyao walked over, pulled a stool, and asked carefully.
The man turned his head and looked at him, pulled the corner of his mouth and said:
"Are you new here?
"For the white giant wolf?
"I advise you to give up. There are opportunities in the mountains, so don't be blinded by the high rewards."
Jiang Baimian also sat down and asked as if thinking:
"Is this the lesson you learned?"
The man with brown hair and yellow eyes changed slightly and his expression continued to be silent.
After a few seconds, he sighed:
“This is an obvious thing.
"If you want to seize opportunities in the mountains and ensure your own safety, hunters need to form a team. Just like you, there are few loners here, who are often terriblely powerful."
Before Shang Jianyao could ask, the man drank the things in the cup again and chewed them twice:
"And I have no companions anymore..."
When he said this, his voice was both low and heavy.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and asked in a soft tone:
"They died under the claws of the white giant wolf?"
The man put down his cup and covered his face between his palms. After a while, he said:
"We determined the movement pattern of the white giant wolf, and thought we could hit it with anesthesia gun outside its strange charm.
"But, but, it discovered our existence at some point, and changed the route temporarily and took a detour to the place where we were hiding...
"And then, can you imagine the result?"
Speaking of the back, the man whose palms had already put down his face was full of panic and fear, as if he was still immersed in that "nightmare" and could not wake up.
Seeing that no one in the "old tuner group" responded, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a little crazy and panic:
"I don't know how I escaped, maybe the white giant wolf's appetite has been satisfied.
"I will never forget the look they looked at me, strangeness, hatred, and indifference, like becoming the servant of the wolf."
Huh… the man exhaled:
"Later, I mustered up the courage, returned there, and found this watch. It was Sachs' most precious item, and it had fallen into this shape..."
He didn't say anything more, as if he didn't want to admit that his companions might have been completely destroyed.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others looked at each other, and a thought popped up in their minds:
Isn’t that white giant wolf able to sense human consciousness?
Therefore, the ambush of this group of ruin hunters was easily cracked.
"This is not fair." Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke.
This time, Jiang Baimian probably understood what he meant:
Human awakened people cannot sense wild animals, but distorted creatures can discover human consciousness.
The man was stunned for a moment:
“What’s unfair?”
"It's unfair to humanity." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully, but only said the second half.
The man actually agreed:
"Yes, why can a beast be so strong and possess such weird abilities?"
He looked at Jiang Baimian and others again:
"Those who have truly encountered the white giant wolf who has returned alive have given up, but there are continuous and confident newcomers, such as you."
At this moment, he saw Gnava and said in a daze:
"You brought the robot... I wish you good luck."
It is common sense that robots can fight similar specialties in some ruin hunters.
Jiang Baimian didn't answer this sentence and asked instead:
"Can you share with us the rules of the activities of the white giant wolf you summarized?
“We will provide compensation.”
"This is a good business." The man laughed at himself, "I'll talk about it later. There are many people here."
"Okay, what's the name?" Jiang Baimian asked.
She tried hard to put on makeup to make herself look ordinary.
The man replied indifferently:
"Watt."
This is as ordinary as a pseudonym... Long Yuehong whispered in her heart.
At this time, Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"What are you drinking? It's quite delicious."
Waite pointed to the boss at the bar:
“The meat stuffed here.”
The boss is a gray-haired and older man. He looked up and said:
"The most common harvest in the mountains is all kinds of prey, delicious, distinctive and not dangerous, and they were taken away by the nobles. The rest are either poor in meat, sour and smelly, or have some problems themselves and are not suitable for eating regularly, and they cannot be sold at a price.
"But why are all meat? I bought it and made it into a meat paste. Add some plants in the mountains to make it into this kind of thing. It smells very fragrant and doesn't taste so good, so it will reduce greed."
Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:
"Someone should buy this type of meat specifically, right?"
"When there is a choice, there are very few, but many people have no choice." The boss answered concisely.
During the brief silence, Long Yuehong remembered something and asked quickly:
“Is there a Hunter Guild office here?”
Waite laughed:
"How could it be?"
"Why not?" Long Yuehong expressed confusion.
Witt pointed outside:
"In the past ten years, the place has been destroyed twice, and I don't know how many people have died, because of the attacks of a large number of "unintentional people" and the migration of distorted creatures.
"How dare those clerks in the guild come? Anyway, it only takes half a day to come out from here. You can relax when you go to the initial city to hand in the task and receive tasks."
Thinking of the various traces on the exterior wall, Long Yuehong didn't ask any more questions.
