The "Old Tune Team" stayed in the periphery of the ruins of Tieshan City for another day, but they still didn't wait for the special "High Mindless One", and then they moved north to the original city to prepare for exploring the Hom Reproductive Medical Center in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13.
After nearly two days of circling around various polluted areas and dangerous areas, Gnava glanced at the wilderness outside:
"There is a homeless settlement nearby, do you want to go over and replenish some supplies?"
This is where he passed before when he went south from the original city.
As for this wilderness, Bai Chen was not familiar with it, because she had never been there.
Jiang Baimian in the passenger seat thought for a moment and said:
"Yes."
Although the jeep of the "old adjustment team" has been modified and has a wider trunk, three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic intelligent armor still occupy a lot of space, plus bullets, grenades, grenades, rockets, high-explosives and spare weapons, there is not much room for the rest of the materials.
With the help of true "smart navigation", the jeep passed through a grove and several round mounds to a settlement built on the terrain and the ruins of the old world.
When the vehicle was more than a hundred meters away from the destination, Shang Jianyao suddenly sat up straight:
"No one inside."
"Did they migrate?" Bai Chen slowed down the car while making guesses.
This is quite common on gray soil, and every few years, or even shorter, wilderness wanderers will leave their current settlements and migrate to safer places due to exposure of location information, drastic changes in weather, environmental problems, aberrant creatures and "heartless people" changing their predatory range.
"Impossible." Gnava replied in the affirmative, "When I passed by before, they were farming in the farmland behind the settlement."
Humans who are about to migrate will not do such a waste of resources.
The honest Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"Maybe it was in the past few days that they were discovered by the slave trapping team of the 'First City'."
had to move hastily.
A carbon-based person and a silicon-based person exchanged between the two people, and the jeep approached its destination.
"There is really no human bioelectrical signal." Jiang Baimian affirmed Shang Jianyao's previous discovery.
The gates of the settlement are made of wood, and at this time, they are half-closed and open.
Bai Chen's eyes swept and he said in a deep voice:
"There is blood underground."
Her observation position is better than that of Gnawa, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao, while Jiang Baimian is focusing on induction.
Several members of the "Old Tune Team" followed the reputation and saw several puddles of blood that had turned dark red and black outside the gate.
This gave Long Yuehong a bad premonition.
He remembered what happened to Black Rat Town.
"Attacked?" Jiang Baimian asked the jeep to stop.
She carried a grenade gun and a single combat bazooka, pushed the door out.
Shang Jianyao and others followed closely behind and entered the settlement in turn.
Some of the houses here originate from the old world, have been repaired to some extent, and some are newly built from wood, and these two styles are intertwined, bringing a unique charm.
Just like what Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian sensed, there were no humans here, but there were obvious blood stains left in many places.
They are splashed on walls or splashed far off the ground, and can be seen around almost all houses
A massacre...... Long Yuehong had such an idea in his mind.
In the following search, he accumulated some doubts:
Since a massacre is suspected, why are there no bodies here, only occasionally fingers, rotten meat and other things can be found?
It's impossible for all the wilderness wanderers who settled here to be blown to pieces, right?
Even if this is the case, the amount of remaining flesh and blood is not right!
Moreover, all weapons in the settlement are missing, including items such as woodcutters.
In addition, quilts, blankets, clothes and various foods also disappeared.
——These must have existed originally, otherwise the wilderness wanderers in the settlement would not have survived the winter.
However, there are also metal artifacts accumulated in each house for trading other resources, as well as two fuel generators.
After checking, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"The preliminary judgment is that it was attacked by the 'heartless' group."
Seeing Long Yuehong's puzzled expression, she explained simply:
"If it was a group of robbers or slave trappers, generators and metal objects would not be left behind, which were sometimes worth more than slaves.
"If it is an aberrant creature or other beast, it will not take weapons, clothes, quilts and blankets.
"Only the attack of the 'heartless' group will leave such a scene."
Speaking of this, Bai Chen summed it up:
"Many wilderness wanderers think that the 'heartless people' who lack food in winter are the most aggressive and dangerous, and in fact, the 'heartless people' in spring are the same. After a long winter, the 'heartless people' who can still survive often run out of food and urgently need to replenish it."
With their help, those settlements attached to the "Pangu creatures" successfully survived the crisis and did not suffer the current catastrophe.
At this time, she sighed and said:
"The wanderers who can survive in the wilderness will not let up on this kind of thing, it seems that they are crushed by their strength......"
"Maybe there was no strong group of 'heartless people' here, but suddenly migrated after the beginning of spring." Bai Chen recalled the situation he had encountered and heard about.
Jiang Baimian glanced at the silent Shang Jianyao, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Now, what should we do?" Long Yuehong asked.
It was obviously impossible to exchange supplies, what he wanted to ask was to rest here and set off tomorrow, or to continue on the road while it was still early.
Shang Jianyao suddenly turned his head and asked Gnawa:
"Are there any other wilderness wanderer settlements nearby?"
"There are three more within twenty kilometers." Gnava replied.
Bai Chen followed closely and said:
"They should not have been attacked yet.
"The food harvested from here is enough for those 'mindless' to survive for a long time, and in this case, their aggression will be much reduced."
This is the same as many beasts lazily don't want to attack people after they are full.
Moreover, hunting too much in one go will not be able to store it for a long time, which will cause great waste.
Shang Jianyao laughed and took the initiative to propose:
"Do you want to eliminate the 'heartless' group?"
"With the strength they have shown, if they attack, the other three settlements should not be able to resist ......" Jiang Baimian pondered, "You can try, but you can't be reckless."
For the current "old tune group", this is a matter of convenience and will not be too difficult.
…………
Near evening, when the clouds on the horizon were still red, after collecting, comparing and analyzing environmental information by Gnawa and Long Yuehong, the "old tune team" tracked down the target group.
They hid inside a larger hill and occupied a hidden cave.
Gnava put on the "Chameleon" bionic intelligent armor, sneaked closer and made a careful observation.
"There are four 'heartless people' guarding the cave, and their weapons are shotguns, rifles, shotguns and submachine guns." Gnawa returned to the jeep and made a report.
"Their weapons are not weak...... Plundered the harvest of the previous Wilderness Wanderer Settlement?" Jiang Baimian said with half doubt and half emotion.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"This is on the one hand, on the other hand, judging from the previous scene, their own firepower is not weak."
Gnawa continued:
"From time to time, a unique aura will overflow from the cave, causing the four 'heartless people' who acted as guards to tremble in fear."
"Trembling with fear?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself.
"A 'high-level mindless'?" Shang Jianyao was a little excited.
Long Yuehong suddenly realized:
"No wonder they were able to crush the previous Wilderness Wanderer settlement."
This group of "heartless people" not only has a lot of firepower, but also has a leader equivalent to the awakened one!
"From this point of view, there may be certain problems with their origins." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.
The number of "higher mindlesss" is quite small, only in the ruins of large cities, thousands of "heartless people" may appear, and according to Gnava's observation, there will be no more than fifty.
Of course, there are exceptions to this kind of thing, and even the smallest probability means that it is possible.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Baimian gave an order:
"Wear your gear and plan for the unexpected.
"Xiaobai, enter the sniper position; Xiaohong, you and Lao Ge rush to the front, I support you; Hey, you are exercising influence at the end to control the audience."
After some busyness, Bai Chen, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, followed Gnava to a sniper point he had found during his reconnaissance just now.
This is located on top of a half-dead tree, and you can see the four "heartless beings" guarding the cave entrance from nearly 300 meters away.
PS: Recommend a book, Xiaolong's "No. 13 Mink Street", which is still a familiar style or a familiar taste.
The introduction is: I like to sit on the empty street at night, listen to the whispers of "them", and enjoy the hustle and bustle of "them".
