Chapter 24 I finally meet someone
Chapter 24 Finally met someone
This abandoned human city appeared in front of everyone like a mirage. The empty streets and some decayed buildings are so amazing in the atmosphere of the doomsday. When the group walked into the city, a gust of wind blew and rolled up dead leaves and grass, which made people feel a very inexplicably desolate feeling.
Lin Tianyu walked behind the team and looked at the ghost town, feeling as if he had seen a scene from a science fiction movie with a doomsday theme.
Yao Mingfei was obviously a little scared. The mp5 in his hand swayed around the ruins from time to time, for fear that he would be caught by a monster that suddenly appeared if he was not careful.
Lin Tianyu patted his shoulder, "Don't be so shocked. If there is a life detector, it will naturally call the police if there is a creature. Don't be so nervous." He said and pointed at Selena.
From the moment I entered the city, Selena turned on the life detector to avoid sudden attacks. Although doing so would consume a few energy, it was very necessary to do so in a city where you could hide.
After all, no one can know how many mutants are hidden in this concrete jungle. Since you can encounter mutants' attacks in the wild, the chance of encountering mutants in this city is almost 100%.
The group walked along the empty street, pushing open the door of a shop on the side of the road from time to time, and looking inside for a few seconds.
The goods in some stores are still well preserved. If they are taken back, they may be able to sell them for a few dollars. However, people will naturally not like ordinary goods. Their goals are very clear. Jewelry stores and gold reserve centers are their goals. Of course, they must first find the city map. Their first goal is newsstands, after all, maps are usually sold there.
The newsstand in this city is a blue metal pavilion with glass windows. Such newsstands can be seen from time to time along the way. However, after thirty years, the newsstands have been broken, and the magazine readings placed in the pavilion have long been so unreadable that they are exposed to wind and sun.
But in the end, everyone finally found a place where maps should be sold, which was a bookstore.
Lin Tianyu was delighted when he saw the bookstore. He felt that the kind of wealth such as gold and jewelry is worth collecting, but invisible wealth such as books and movies should not be ignored. Don’t think about movies or anything else. After all, the civilization level of this world came to an abrupt end in the 1970s, and there was probably nothing to pay attention to. He was looking for those representative books. Usually the cultural essence of a world is preserved in the form of words. Perhaps he could see some surprising things in this bookstore.
Push open the door of the bookstore, but the scene inside looks very well preserved. Perhaps both the survivors and the mutants are not worth noting about this place. After all, when life is in crisis, everyone is concerned about weapons and food, and no one will deliberately collect the books here.
Nicholas waved his hand and signaled everyone to find the map together. Others were searching on magazines and map shelves, but Lin Tianyu looked through several books on the bookshelf, but he was a little disappointed. There were quite a few books sold in this bookstore, but most of them were reference books, and there were not many literary works that could interest him. Although they all looked good in binding novels, the writing style was really not very good, and there were too many incomprehensible nouns in it. They should be unique to the world. If this was the point, these novels might just be ordinary fast food readings and nothing worth collecting.
Although Lin Tianyu did not find what he wanted, the map of Serrabek City was found by Yao Mingfei. Everyone spread the map and checked it out and found that their location was still on the edge of the city. Although Serrabek City was not the capital, it was obviously a big city with a large area of a large area. Its area was quite huge. Although their distance from the vault was not very far from the map, the actual distance was probably more than ten kilometers.
"Let's go to the Gold Reserve Center first, and then go to the military base outside the city. If it goes well, we should have collected it at this time tomorrow and can retreat."
Naturally, no one had any objections to Nicholas' proposal, but soon everyone discovered the problem. When the group walked out of the bookstore and prepared to move towards the gold reserve center, they found that crashed cars were everywhere along the way, blocking the road in a mess. It was not so easy to pass. After moving forward for hundreds of meters, they had to stop. Nicholas shook his head, "It seems we can only walk."
"But gold is too heavy. If we don't drive, we may not be able to hold much."
"We have space props, so we can still hold a lot of them. Let's leave the useless things first and empty the location for gold." Nicholas said helplessly. The bookstore just now was a good place. The group walked back for a while and parked all four standby motorcycles outside the bookstore. Everyone only brought necessary supplies. Except for a small amount of food, some ammunition, and most important equipment, other things should not attract the attention of the mutants. Therefore, they placed them in the relatively dry bookstore and closed them with iron cabinets. Then the group carried weapons and moved forward lightly.
At the beginning, everyone was a little nervous, but after walking for a while, they saw that the surroundings were always quiet, and they relaxed and joked from time to time, chatting without saying a word. When the group walked to a square, Selena suddenly shouted, "There is a situation."
The life detector in her hand was making a beeping sound. Lin Tianyu glanced at the screen, and four or five red dots were moving towards them.
"The target is approaching, everyone is ready to fight"
Selena shouted, and the few people immediately looked in that direction with a look of alert. Only Nicholas still smiled relaxed. Lin Tianyu couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw it, thinking, wasn't he a mutant?
A man wearing a riot suit and a riot helmet on his head walked out, holding an automatic rifle of an invisible model in his hand, and was stunned when he saw the group, "Hey Mike, come here."
The sound was a little bit wrong. The man seemed to have no hostility towards the people. He hung his gun on his chest and walked towards everyone. Behind the man, several guys in the same outfit followed him with the guy in his arms.
Lin Tianyu, a human being in this world, was inexplicably relieved. Although it is unknown whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, after these days, the days when both figures cannot be seen can only deal with mutants. It is really friendly to see the same kind of people in this world.
The man walked closer and Lin Tianyu could see that he could see his female identity. No wonder the voice was a bit sharp. The woman walked up to him and took off her mask, revealing a handsome and heroic face. Her black hair was braided and tied behind her.
"Hey Explorer, have you found something good?"
Lin Tianyu guessed that the explorer should be a special profession in this doomsday world, maybe this woman and her companions are such people.
Nicholas smiled, "We just came to this city, are you the explorers?"
"Of course, otherwise how could we wander in this ghost city in broad daylight."
She said and shook her head again, "But we have something else to do this time. Is there any information and items to exchange?"
Lin Tianyu hesitated for a moment and took out a bag of chocolate from his dimensional pocket.
You're not kidding, can this thing be eaten?
Lin Tianyu tore apart one and handed it over. The woman hesitated and threw it into her mouth and chewed it, "Where did you get this thing? I haven't eaten such a good chocolate preserved in several years."
She said as she untied the backpack behind her, which was filled with all kinds of messy things, a bunch of electronic components, two hard-clad books, some homemade jerky, two or three fresh apples, crushed bread, canned food, and even a bottle of shampoo that had obviously expired for a long time. In addition to these, there was a large amount of ammunition, which seemed to be fully fed.
"It's a pity that I don't have anything particularly valuable. I guess you won't be willing to exchange anything with me."
"On the contrary, I think if you can give us some information, I can give you this bag of chocolate."
"Information, of course, do you want to know?"
Lin Tianyu glanced at Nicholas and made a gesture of invitation. Nicholas asked: "We want to know about the information about the Gold Reserve Center and the Serrabeck Military Base."
"It seems you are coming out to get weapons. The Serrabek military base is outside the city, but there are not many light weapons available there. When the base was abandoned, it was already plundered. Even if some of them remained for so many years, it would be useless. There are still some heavy weapons left. But unless one of you can repair and maintain the Eagle fighter and have a complete runway, I guess it is useless to you. As for the Gold Reserve Center, what are you doing there?"
Lin Tianyu said of course he was going to collect gold, but this was obviously not suitable for a person living in the doomsday world. Nicholas smiled and said, "There is someone who is planning to build a machine in the place where we came and needs to get some silver as a power cord. You know that silver has very good conductivity."
The woman shrugged, not seeming to think there is anything wrong, "The place was originally closed, and the thick iron door blocked everything outside, but now there are people living there, and we are about to go there, so why not go together."
