I Have A Mansion In The Post - Apocalyptic

Chapter 6: Roshan
A grey concrete road, filled with cracks, stretched out toward the horizon. Unknown plants grow vigilantly through cracks in the concrete, when bathed in unhealthy sunlight.
The surrounding buildings do not have windows closed. They were all destroyed in a nuclear explosion. Some abandoned cars occupying the streets have windshields that crack but remain intact. They are made with higher quality glass than windows.
It was also possible to find metal boxes that occasionally look sleek. “Sun Jiao explained that NATO paratroopers previously used it as a shock absorber. However, when he talked about the history of the city invasion, he did not reveal too many emotions. This may have something to do with the fact that he grew up on a survival base and the concept of patriotism does not exist.
But when he mentioned the history of the war, he publicly expressed his contempt. His eyes show that both sides, in war, are really dumba * ses.
"Will it rain?" Jiang Chen raised his head as he stared at the sky. Thick gray clouds covered the sun, as if clouds were making the sunlight appear extremely unnatural. There was a suppressing yellow light mixed with sunlight. He wanted to know how plants grew here.
"It's not a cloud. It was radiation dust. “Sun Jiao found the comment funny. He was almost as naive as he was when he left survival base 071.
"That means we're actually exposed to radiation?" His only understanding of radiation was from the Fukushima nuclear reactor accident. He recalled, at that moment, all the salt was bought clean from the store.
Although it now makes no sense to recall, it is easy to imagine people's emphasis on health in the modern world. Radiation is scary.
Sun Jiao was not too confused. "Don't worry, as long as there is iodine in your EP, the radiation level won't go beyond the limit. You also do not have to worry about the growth of the third hand. However, if you are in front of a nuclear reactor or a former government parliament, where radiation is high, it would be wise to wear protective gear, "Sun Jiao warned as she rolled her eyes again.
Although they had a pleasant evening, there was no sign of Sun Jiao being tired. But Jiang Chen felt a little drained from all the action.
Not to say that Jiang Chen was weak, regardless of how much endurance he had. There was no way he could compare physically with a female Superman who was constantly fighting in battle.
[That ridiculous body statistics ..]
Jiang Chen could not imagine that, without any signs of muscles, he was much stronger than he who at least maintained some muscles.
The decision to venture together was really DIA's idea.
“Because you said you'd help me, then you should learn some battle-related knowledge. Tomorrow let's explore together. At least you need to learn how to shoot, and how to protect yourself. ”
“Hmm, well, I think I can be a backup. ”
"Silence ... tomorrow we will go to the survival camp on Sixth Street. You need to inject an anti-infective vaccine. Without it, it would be too dangerous. You must go . ”
Therefore, Jiang Chen had to carry a rifle as he quietly followed.
They continued to chat along the way, but for some reason, he did not ask for his origin. Since he had not asked, Jiang Chen had not brought up the topic either. Jiang Chen knew that he had stopped asking because he was beginning to believe him. When the time came, he knew he was going to tell her.
For the same reason, Jiang Chen did not pursue the topic of why he was in the mansion.
“We will pass through the area full of zombies in front. The best place to practice shooting is the battlefield itself. Get used to the gun first, but don't shoot, ”dia explained, as she pulled out a high-powered rifle from behind. He then looked at Jiang Chen, while continuing to answer his question.
“SK10, short to medium range laser rifle. The best type of weapon against zombies is the laser because it has low noise and high accuracy. However, to increase your shooting, let's start with a bullet weapon first, "He pointed at the gun Jiang Chen was holding and continued.
“Attack PK200. 7. Diameter 62 mm. This bullet gun is not as accurate as a laser, but its high penetration power and reliability cannot be underestimated. Even if you use the barrel to destroy your enemies, it will be durable enough to get the job done. The safe is on the right side of the rifle, remember to keep it closed if you don't shoot. ”
The sleek-looking rifle barrel has a futuristic design. On the handle, Jiang Chen looked at the small symbol.
PACS.
Both walked on empty roads. The three foot long rat occasionally crossing the street would always scare Jiang Chen, but he got used to it after a while. These mutants are everywhere. Jiang Chen even saw a dog-sized cockroach as it fled into the shadows of the road. Their one-meter-long tentacles are disturbing to see.
“Not all creatures have the ability to attack. For example, despite the large mice, biologically they still retain their natural fear of humans. While cockroaches certainly look scary, because of their food source, they will not attack any living thing. "They approached the intersection as Sun Jiao carefully raised her rifle. “Zombies will stop all activity during the day. The mutated cells at the back of their heads require a stable environment for photosynthesis. Surprising right? That's why these zombies survived for so many years without dying of hunger. I think some zombies have even evolved to the point where they can reproduce asexually. ”
Sun Jiao joked for a while while keeping her guard up. “What we need to pay attention to is carnivores. They usually feed on zombies or other creatures at the bottom of the food chain. However, if they encounter humans, they are not picky eaters. The most dangerous species is humans. If someone points to your head, do not hesitate and shoot immediately. ”
His assertiveness made Jiang Chen feel a sudden chill running down his back.
Surprised by the cruelty in the desert, Jiang Chen was also amazed. The city is developing its complex yet distinct ecosystem. Nature is really interesting in adapting to the idea of survival being the most suitable.
Under the iron forest, there was no sign of civilization. Only uncivilized land remained. Despite wielding an extremely advanced weapon, Jiang Chen did not feel safe at all.
"Shhh. "Sun Jiao suddenly stopped and raised her right hand to stop Jiang Chen.
"Don't point the gun at me, dumba*s. Watch my back, ”Sun Jiao cursed Jiang Chen with her voice.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and opened the safe, as he aimed the gun straight at the peaceful path.
“It's strange, all the mutants in the surrounding area disappeared. They must have sensed their predators. "There was a tremor of fear in Sun Jiao's voice. A little nervous made the almost calm Jiang Chen nervous again.
"Predators?"
“Such carnivores. May this not be the Claw of Death. ”
Although he did not know what Death Claw was, Jiang Chen heard the worry in his voice.
At that moment, a loud explosion came from somewhere at the end of the road. Immediately, a deep but loud roar followed and a burst of gunfire ensued.
"I mean, are you sure we didn't go the wrong way?"
Sun Jiao did not respond to Jiang Chen's question; she had to follow because she had no other choice.
A burst of howls erupted from the face that looked terrifying yet cruel. Saliva flowed from his mouth, while it swung the lamp post that was about to break. The fat on the creature's body looked like it was about to explode.
"Focus fire. Throw the explosives up! Hurry along!"
"Amunitions! I need ammo! "
"Ahhh, hand!" The car door flew through the poor man's arm, as it pierced into a wall not far behind him.
The monster was enraged, as it unleashed all of its power into the warrior line of defense.
The mutants were under heavy fire from poorly equipped soldiers. They were trying to suppress the rampaging meatballs. Several soldiers lowered their heads under friendly fire while dodging the debris the monster threw. They kept throwing explosives at the monster.
"… It's Roshan!" As Sun Jiao retreated to a corner, shock was written all over her face. "How does it appear here …"
Jiang Chen was even more surprised. With his mouth wide open, he was completely stunned.
[What the fuck? That thing is huge!]
Roshan pressed forward, while bathing inside the campfire. The situation looked terrible to the soldiers. While the bullet did affect Roshan's movements, it was far from stopping him. The thick layer of fat was like a bulletproof vest, which stopped the bullet from penetrating his skin.
The soldiers ran out of solutions. Even the leader of the troops immediately sent orders to approach Roshan with explosives. However, a thick layer of fat is designed for more than just bullet protection.
Although the wave of attacks was ineffective, Roshan's movements were blocked by it. Roshan could no longer make any progress forward.
At that moment, a home-made missile pierced the air, as it conducted a grim death test directly at Roshan.
But the missile did not hit Roshan. It slipped on Roshan's face, as it impacted the building behind him.
The explosion! After the impact, a violent explosion wave occurred. The steel-reinforced concrete broke into pieces as it left a large hole in the building behind Roshan.
Seemingly already feeling the danger, Roshan's fatty body started to tremble violently, as his strength was even more explosive and ferocious. His bloody mouth opened wide, as if letting out an angry roar, but the roar was silent.
Another missile flew across the battlefield. Following the trail of the first missile, this one directly penetrated into Roshan's bloody mouth.
Within seconds, the blood, brain, and fat exploded into tiny droplets. Roshan's body fill the road.
Roshan, without his head, fell to the ground. The soldiers celebrated their victory.
Soldiers walked out of their blankets as the battle ended. They hugged each other and helped the injured. Then, they cleared the battlefield in an organized manner.
"A 99-type Anti-tank missile, that's the only thing that could destroy Roshan. Roshan fat is very thick, which will make any type of bullet weapon obsolete. At the same time, Roshan's bad habit of throwing things makes fighting a nightmare. “Sun Jiao felt relieved as she sighed.
"What are they doing?" Jiang Chen glanced at the people dissecting Roshan as he tried to keep the food in his stomach low.
"Crystal collecting. Also, Roshan fat can be used as a nutrient in the nutrient supply. Oh, I think blood cells can also be used as ingredients in vaccines. ”
Nutritional supply? Why does this sound like food?
Jiang Chen shivered as he promised himself that he would never touch that nutrient supply. Isn't that equivalent to eating Roshan meat?
Sun Jiao smiled as she seemed to guess why Jiang Chen was put away. He then brought Jiang Chen to the army group.
Sensing their approach, a soldier walked over. He then checked out group two.
With professionalism, he spoke, “Sixth Street welcomes you. Based on the required procedure, I need to check your gene code. ”
Gene code is a type of code based on an algorithm developed through a person's genetic sequence, and used as an EP user ID. Due to the widespread adoption of EP, and the uniqueness of each genetic sequence, it is used as a form of ID. In an apocalyptic world, there is no government. Therefore, in order to prove one's identity, DNA is the only option.
In some ruled survival bases, the entrance relies on gene code inspection. The goal is to find unlawful criminals at the base of survival.
After they displayed their EP, the soldier let the two pass politely.
“I always thought only barbarians were in the desert. I can't believe I can see some traces of civilization. "Be careful Jiang Chen became calm when he saw the soldiers did not bother them any further.
Sun Jiao smirked upon hearing Jiang Chen's statement.
“Oh, my opinion is the opposite of yours. I think civilization is everywhere in this land. It's just that the shape is a bit unique. ”
The steel gate slowly opened, as the tension within the camp reduced. Behind the sandbag, Jiang Chen looked at the Anti-tank Missile that destroyed Roshan. The ferocious cannon spread a terrifying vibe when it was just standing there. The ground was full of large metal shells.
Jiang Chen followed Sun Jiao to the camp.
Sixth Street is a port that welcomes travelers from the desert. His philosophy is to protect the order in a country full of chaos. But it is naive to regard Sixth Street as an enforcer of justice.
