Chapter 6 Roshan

The gray cement road is full of cracks, and unknown plants grow tenaciously in the cracks of the cement road, bathing in the unhealthy sunlight.

Almost no windows in the surrounding buildings are intact, and the glass has long been shattered in the nuclear explosion. The streets were littered with abandoned cars, and from the cracked but unbroken windows, the glass seemed to be slightly better than the window glass.

The streamlined "iron box" can still be seen on the street. As Gu Sunjiao said, it was a slow landing device used by NATO's orbital airborne troops. However, when referring to the city's history of being invaded, Sun Jiao's face did not show any unnecessary emotions. This may be related to the fact that she was born in a shelter and has no concept of the so-called country.

However, she still showed undisguised boredom on her face when referring to the "predecessor" war.

In her opinion, either side of the war is stupid.

"Is it going to rain?" Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, thick dark clouds were densely covered. It seems that it is after these dark clouds that the sun shines unnaturally. There is a depressing yellow-green in the sun, I really don't know how these plants grow.

"That's not a dark cloud, it's radioactive dust." Sun Jiao couldn't help but feel a little amused, this Jiang Chen was just like when she first came out of Vault 71.

"In other words, we are now exposed to radiation without protection?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. The only thing he knew about radiation was the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and he remembered a time when supermarkets were looted for salt.

Although it is an act of ignorance, one can imagine how terrifying the existence of radiation is for people in a harmonious society.

However, Sun Jiao seemed to be used to it, and did not take the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head at all.

"Don't worry, as long as the iodine in your EP is not exhausted, the radiation value will not exceed the threshold, and you don't need to worry about growing a third hand. Of course, when passing through areas with high radiation values ​​such as nuclear power plants or former government offices, It’s better to wear radiation protection suits to be safe.” Sun Jiao gave Jiang Chen a teasing glance, and continued to lead Jiang Chen to the front.

Although she experienced a whole night of passion, Sun Jiao did not show any discomfort, but Jiang Chen's calf was a little soft...

This is not to say that Jiang Chen can't, but no matter how strong his physical strength is, as a pampered modern person, he cannot be physically stronger than this female warrior who walks in the wasteland all year round.

That horrific muscle-strength stat...

Jiang Chen couldn't imagine that this woman who didn't seem to have any muscular lines would be stronger than the man whose body looked more or less muscular.

The reason why the two went out together was entirely Sun Jiao's idea.

...

"Since you said you wanted to help me, you have to learn something about combat. Come with me tomorrow, at least you have to learn to shoot and protect yourself."

"Uh, actually, I think I could be a support guy or something..."

"Don't be too wordy...tomorrow we're going to the survivors' camp on the sixth block. You haven't even been vaccinated against infection. It's too dangerous. You have to go there yourself."

Therefore, Jiang Chen had to bite the bullet and took the rifle thrown by Sun Jiao and followed her on the road.

Along the way, the two chatted from time to time.

But for some reason, Sun Jiao didn't ask about Jiang Chen's secret. Since she didn't ask, Jiang Chen naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it. However, Jiang Chen could see that the reason why Sun Jiao didn't ask was not because she was no longer curious, but because of an indescribable trust.

One day you will tell me...

The unspoken words were detectable.

For the same reason, Jiang Chen didn't inquire about what "must do" Sun Jiao said.

...

"There will be a zombie-infested area ahead. The best place to hone your marksmanship is the battlefield. You should familiarize yourself with weapons first, but don't fire casually." Sun Jiao said, and took out a streamlined rifle from behind.

Meeting Jiang Chen's curious gaze, Sun Jiao smiled and explained.

"SK10 Sirius, a medium and short-range laser rifle, is the best choice for dealing with creatures such as zombies. Low noise and high accuracy. But in order to familiarize you with shooting, you should start with kinetic weapons."

After speaking, Sun Jiao pointed to the rifle that Jiang Chen was holding in her hand and continued.

"PK200 assault rifle, caliber 7.62mm. Although this kinetic energy weapon is not as accurate as a laser weapon, its power and reliability are not comparable to that of a laser weapon. Even if you hit someone with a butt, you don't need to get it repaired. The safety is on the right side above the handle, be careful not to fire when it must be closed."

The streamlined, short and wide gun body felt a little futuristic. On the grip, Jiang Chen saw a small mark.

PAC (Pan Asian Cooperation Organization).

The two walked in tandem on the deserted street, and the half-human-height rat that occasionally ran past the roadside would occasionally startle him, but it didn't take long for him to be surprised. Such mutant creatures are everywhere, Jiang Chen even saw a wolf-dog-sized cockroach, waving the one-meter-long tentacles at the two of them, and then rushed to the shadow of the street. That dense cilia is really disgusting.

"Not all creatures are aggressive, such as mice, although they are huge, they still maintain a physiological fear of humans. Although cockroaches look terrible, they will not take the initiative to attack living creatures because of food problems..." Li Jijie As the mouth got closer, Sun Jiao gradually raised the muzzle and began to be alert, "Zombies will stop moving during the day, and the mutant bacteria attached to the back of their brains need a stable environment for photosynthesis. It's surprising, this is It is also the reason why these zombies have not starved to death for so many years. I heard that some zombies in the urban area have even evolved the function of asexual reproduction, hehe.”

Sun Jiao laughed and said a few words without smiling, still maintaining a vigilant attitude, and continued to speak.

"What we need to pay attention to are carnivorous creatures. They usually eat zombies or other low-level mutant creatures, but if they encounter humans, they will never be picky eaters... And humans, if someone aims at your head , don't hesitate, fire directly."

Sun Jiao's unhesitating tone made Jiang Chen feel a chill.

In addition to being surprised at the cruelty of this wasteland, Jiang Chen couldn't help feeling that the city had already formed a complex and alternative ecosystem. Nature is an amazing thing, whatever you give it, it can stabilize it in a logical way—survival of the fittest.

Under the high-rise buildings, there is no more civilized atmosphere, only barbarism. Although holding the crystallization of civilization technology in his hand, Jiang Chen did not feel the slightest sense of security at this moment.

"Shh." Sun Jiao suddenly stopped and raised her right fist to signal Jiang Chen to stop.

"Don't point the gun at me, idiot, pay attention to my back." Sun Jiao scolded Jiang Chen in a low voice.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath with a wry smile, then turned on the insurance and aimed the gun at the quiet street behind.

"It's not normal, the mutant creatures in the vicinity have disappeared, so I'm afraid that the natural enemy is approaching..." Sun Jiao's voice also contained a trace of nervousness, which made Jiang Chen's heart that had finally calmed down also began to become nervous. stand up.

"Natural enemy?"

"Carnivore or something...hopefully not Deadpaw."

Although he didn't know what the dead claw Sun Jiao was referring to was, Jiang Chen also read some unpleasant feelings from her tone.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the far side of the street. Along with the heavy and high roar, bursts of violent exchanges of fire also followed.

"There is a battle ahead, follow me." After Sun Jiao heard the commotion in the distance, she did not retreat, but started to move towards the battlefield with her rifle.

"I said, are you going in the wrong direction?"

However, Sun Jiao did not answer Jiang Chen's question, Jiang Chen sighed and had to run to keep up.

"Oh oh oh..." The ugly and ferocious face was twisted, saliva poured from his mouth like rain, and he waved the broken street lamp in his hand, and the fat sebum was almost overflowing.

...

"Keep up the fire and throw the explosives! Quick!"

"Ammo! I need ammo!"

"Ahhhh! My hand..." The whistling car door shaved off the arm of a hapless man and slammed into the wall behind him.

The monster vented its power and moved towards the human defense line with a roar.

Soldiers with mixed equipment are violently venting firepower at the monster, trying to suppress the runaway fat. Several soldiers buried their heads and hurried through the fire net of their teammates, dodging the debris thrown by the monster, and desperately threw the explosives in their hands at the fat mass.

"...It's actually Roshan!" Turning around the corner, Sun Jiao's face was full of shock, "How could this thing appear in..."

The expression on Jiang Chen's face was even more exciting. He opened his mouth wide and was completely sluggish.

What is this Nima? The butcher in the mountain? But this Nima is too big!

Roshan moved forward in a hail of bullets, and the situation of those soldiers looked quite bad.

Although the overwhelming bullets had a certain impact on Roshan, it was far from enough to stop him. The thick fat, like a gel, clamped the bullet that pierced through his skin, which made the group of people who mainly rely on kinetic weapons almost helpless. Although the leader of the group decisively ordered some people to approach and throw explosives at Roshan, the thick fat is obviously not just bulletproof...

However, although the attack did not work, it is not meaningless. At least this Roshan was restrained by the fierce firepower like raindrops, and it was unable to push further to the position of the human side.

At this moment, the screeching sound of breaking through the air suddenly crossed the sky above the human defense line, and the cannonball slammed into Roshan with a yellow tracer.

However, the cannonball failed to hit Roshan, almost slid past Roshan's plump face, and slammed into the building behind him.

boom!

With the violent explosion, the reinforced concrete wall was torn apart, leaving a terrifying void.

Seemingly aware of the danger, the fat on Roshan's whole body trembled violently, and the power that erupted from his body became even more violent, and the wide open mouth seemed to be ready to let out an angry roar again.

However, that roar didn't make it in time.

Another cannonball pierced the battlefield, and under the correction of the ballistics after the first tracer round, the cannonball smashed into the bloody mouth.

Without the slightest suspense, scarlet blood, dark green brains, and yellow-white fat spilled almost halfway across the street.

Roshan, who lost his head, fell to the ground in the cheers of victory, making a heavy muffled sound.

After the battle, the soldiers came out of the bunkers one after another, cheered and hugged their comrades, and helped the wounded. Everything seemed very organized.

"The Type 99 anti-tank gun is probably the only thing that can kill Roshan. The fat of Roshan is very thick, and it is the nemesis of almost all individual weapons. At the same time, its bad habit of throwing things is a nightmare." Sun Jiao said as if relieved.

"...What are they doing?" Resisting the churn of gastric juices, Jiang Chen glanced at the people who were busy working on Roshan's corpse, and asked.

"Collection of sub-crystals. In addition, the fat of Roshan can be used as fertilizer, or the source of organic matter and phospholipids in nutritional mixtures. By the way, I remember that its blood cells can also be used as raw materials for many vaccines."

Nutrient mix? How does it sound like food?

Jiang Chen shivered and swore to himself that he would never touch that thing called a nutrient mixture in his life. Isn't his mother's meat equivalent to eating Roshan's meat?

As if guessing what Jiang Chen was disgusting about, Sun Jiao grinned and led Jiang Chen towards the soldiers.

Aware of the approach of the two, a soldier came over, looked up and down the two with a rifle, and then said professionally.

"Welcome to the Sixth Block, man, and as usual, I need to check your genetic code."

Gene code, a code compiled from a gene sequence according to a specific algorithm, is used as the EP's username. Due to the widespread use of EP and the uniqueness of the genetic code, it is often used as something similar to an ID number. After all, there is no Civil Affairs Bureau in the last days. If you want to prove that you are you, you can only use DNA to speak.

Many survivor camps that exist in order will check the genetic code before allowing entry. Its purpose is mainly to hunt down people who have violated the law in the camp.

After showing the EP on the arm, the militia politely released the two.

"I always thought that this wasteland was full of savagery... I didn't expect to see civilization?" Jiang Chen's heart was gradually swayed by the fact that the soldiers armed with weapons did not harass the two of them. put down.

However, for Jiang Chen's speech, Sun Jiao just smiled playfully.

"Oh? My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think the so-called 'civilization' is everywhere in the wasteland, but in a special form."

The steel gate slowly opened, and the camp's guard was lifted as Roshan fell. Behind the sandbag at the entrance, Jiang Chen saw the anti-tank gun that destroyed Roshan. The ferocious barrel exuded a cold air, and on the ground lay metal bullet casings as thick as thighs.

To clear the way for the trucks entering the camp, Jiang Chen followed Sun Jiao into the camp.

This order that exists in chaos - the sixth block, like a harbor, accepts travelers in the wasteland. However, it would be naive to think of it as the embodiment of justice.
