Scene 145: Sitting up in the coffin(1/2)
Lin changed the magazine while running towards the zombie.
He replaced the magazine clip containing ordinary bullets with a burst magazine. The difference between the latter and the former is the special broken mark on the warhead.
When the explosion ejects, it will immediately explode into a bullet flower, expanding the damage area.
Corresponding to its exponentially increased power, the warhead of the burst bomb cannot be recycled, and there is no possibility of reuse after it is used once. This means that the cost of each burst bomb is much higher than that of ordinary bullets.
The cost of a burst bomb is five bottle caps, while the cost of an ordinary bullet is only two bottle caps after recycling the bullet.
There are nine zombies in total. Even if one bullet solves one, the cost of the bullet alone will require forty-five bottle caps. This means that the protection task he received from Bapina will have no benefits.
The price can be negotiated again, saving people is important now.
The four children were divided into three groups and ran in three different directions. Lin chose to save the two children first. Three living zombies were followed by these two children.
Although the children did not run too fast and their running posture was very unstable, the three living zombies following them were not much different, or even worse, to the point of staggering every step.
However, in this state, zombies will not last for too long. When the fungus parasitic on them adapts, these children are still on the verge of death.
Unlike the headshot of a living human being, the parasitic fungi of fungal zombies do not parasitize in the brain, but around the spine. They issue movement instructions to the limbs through the spine nerves.
Therefore, even if they shoot out the heads of zombies and turn them into headless zombies, they can still act normally.
As a Lin who lived for three years in the new era by taking risks and living for three years, he naturally knew this information well.
He replaced ordinary bullets with explosive bullets not to blow off the heads of living zombies, but to break their knees. In this way, their ability to move will be greatly weakened, and even if ordinary humans pass by them at normal pace, there will be no great danger.
Although the idea is good, it is not easy to hit the zombies, chase the children, and constantly change the knees.
Lin used his first-level ability prey marks to the Perception Domain, canceled the marks for the four children, and marked the three zombies in front of him.
very good.
Grayscale vision combined with prey marks, the knees of the three living zombies became bright red.
Lin Duanwen shot three times in a row, and three bursting bombs hit the knees of three living zombies. They lost one leg and fell to the ground immediately.
The fungal zombies had no pain and could not sense the pain. The three zombies who had lost one leg had not given up chasing the two children. They were lying on the ground, their arms and one leg were swinging hard, just like swimming on land.
"Stay away from them, don't go far." Lin turned around and shouted at the man and woman behind him, then ran to deal with other zombies and rescue the other children.
Neller and Sloth were still in shock. The two looked at each other, nodded speechlessly, and chose to follow Lin's orders. While standing in place, they hid from the three wriggling zombies on the ground and stayed as far away as possible.
Lin’s prey mark is that the fewer targets marked, the better the effect. Cancel the marks of three zombies that have fallen to the ground, select the five zombies in front of him, five gunshots, and five zombies fell to the ground.
A corpse fell to the ground but stood up again.
"Bang!"
After running out of bullets in the burst magazine, Lin used another gun containing ordinary bullets to fix it.
"Stay away from the zombies and go to meet with those two."
Joel trembled his legs and trotted towards Neller and Sloth.
One magazine can hold eight rounds of bullets.
Lin continued to run, heading towards the last child and the luminous zombie. On the way, he replaced the new burst magazine with agile hand speed. Then, he began to think about how to deal with the luminous zombie.
The child was very close to the zombie of the luminous species and could not directly smash its knees with a burst bomb. Because the luminous species had huge amounts of radiation, and now these radiations were locked in its body as long as it did not destroy the integrity of its body. The radiation in its body could only be transmitted to other creatures through its biting and extremely close contact.
If a gun smashes the knees of the luminous zombie and emits a blue fluorescent body fluid sputters onto the child, he will be killed by the excessive radiation. Even if he does not die, he will undergo vicious mutations and become zombies.
"Run! Run!" Lin shouted a few times at the child in front of the shining tree.
The luminous zombies, like the rest of the zombies, cannot walk well. As long as the child runs at the fastest speed and leaves the sputtering range, Lin can shoot.
Lin didn't know that it would be fine if he didn't shout, but the child was still running. He heard Lin ask him to run quickly and knew that someone was coming to save him. His legs became weak and he sat directly on the ground.
He looked at the fluorescent lights all over his body, his face was no longer covered with skin, his face was ferocious, and his luminous zombies were like a devil, and his whole body was trembling like a sieve. His lips were trembling, and he said something to pray to the god of scavenging.
Seeing that he was slumped there, Lin did not choose to shoot, for fear that the luminous sputtered body fluid would hurt him.
Lin stopped all physical movements and his head turned rapidly, thinking about what to do to save the child.
Run over and run away with him?
There was not enough time, Lin shook his head with a slight amplitude as he looked at the shiver boy getting closer and closer to the trembling boy.
What to do...
"Bang!"
Before he could come up with the most suitable method, he suddenly heard a gunshot.
Neil, who was thirty meters away, held a gun and gasped, "What are you doing standing there? You haven't shot to save Nico."
Neller's shooting technique was quite accurate, hitting the chest of the zombie.
I don’t know what type of bullet in his gun is, it has a strong penetration and directly penetrates the chest of the luminous zombie.
The body fluid of the luminous zombie was poured out from this wound.
Nico, who was less than two meters away from the luminous zombie, was splattered with a blue fluorescent liquid from head to toe.
When Lin saw this scene, he knew that nothing he thought about was useless.
He raised the gun in his hand, and a burst bullet shot out, hitting the knee of the luminous zombie. A little blue luminous body fluid splashed on Nico's body.
When Neller saw the luminous zombie falling down, he began to run towards Nico, trying to help him up, far away from the luminous zombie that had fallen to the ground, which had not yet died.
But Lin rushed to him, stopped him, and stopped him from running there.
"Don't go over." Lin said.
"What are you going to do? I didn't shoot it and rescue Nico just now, and I won't let me go."
"The moment you shoot, he is already dead. There will be one more person who died in the past." Lin said in a plain tone.
Nael looked at Nico who was still trembling and said in a bad tone to Lin Yan, "Where is Nico dead? He is still fine, nothing happened."
Sloth and Joel ran over now. Sloth grabbed Neller and said in a fearful voice, "The glowing species! That's the glowing species! The glowing species mentioned by the Ebul Sacrifice. My God! Nico's whole body is filled with radiant liquid. Don't go there, he's dead."
"It's Ebul again, what he said is right?" Neil was disgusted with Ebul's sacrifice and the god of scavenging the scattered again.
The God of Scavengers is a new god in the new era. He has no name and his image is no different from that of many Scavengers. He is all wearing ragged and not-so-neat clothes.
He held a scythe in one hand and his tattered hood made him look a little like death. His other hand held a large pocket, which was said to be full of bottle caps.
These are also the two major priests of the God of Scavenger. The sickle represents death, and the bottle cap represents wealth.
According to the explanation of the Ebul sacrifice, people in the new era must fight side by side with the God of Scavenger under the glory of the God of Scavenger, fighting with weapons and death while trying to collect wealth left over from the old era to the present, and become rich people with wealth.
Of course, the sacrifice not only talks about the many miracles left by the god of scavenging for his believers.
He also taught small shipbreakers to read and told them what dangers are in this new era.
In the extremely dangerous column, the priests mentioned the luminous species. They look very conspicuous and can see the light on them at a distance.
Depending on the species to which the luminescent species belong, their combat powers vary. If this is the case, of course it is impossible to be included in the extremely dangerous column.
What is really scary is that they have huge amounts of radiation fluid. Even if they are touched with a little, they will get radiation diseases. And there is almost no cure.
Only special drugs such as Bontening for radiation are effective, but this is for shipbreakers who have almost no personal assets. What is the difference between having and not having?
Apart from the two pieces of Bantin that were given to Bapi, Lin had no other Bantin. So even if he wanted to save this child named Nico, he could do nothing.
Lin might be able to take him back to the settlement of the shipbreakers, so that Bapi would choose not to use Bundenin to save him. However, the place is a bit far from the coast, and even if he is taken back, it may not be too late.
Neller vented for a while and became quiet. He gradually accepted the facts and said, "What should we do now? Nico is like this and can't save him."
The sky in the new era, except for rainy days, was clear and transparent. The machines that caused smog in the old era almost all turned into waste products, and even if someone found them, they could not be effectively used. Either they didn't know how to use them or there was not enough energy to make them rotate.
It is precisely because of this that in almost every corner of the world, where the old era ruins appear, like the leader's settlement, wearing animal skins and maces, which resembles primitive people.
The bright moonlight shone through the redwoods and fell on the clearings in the forest. The stars in the sky flashed, as if pairs of eyes were staring at the earth.
The luminous zombies eject not only the body fluids filled with radiation, but also the fungal community that controls the movement of the zombies.
They drilled into Nico's body from the corners of his eyes, ear holes and nostrils at a speed visible to the naked eye, and reproduced rapidly. While causing the cells in Nico's body to instinctively resist violently, they also competed with Nico's own consciousness for control of this body.
However, no one noticed all these horrifying changes.
Neller was arguing with him on Lin, and Sloth and Joel were also on Lin and Neller.
Nico, who was praying to the god of scavenging, felt warm all over his body, not as hot as it was exposed to the poisonous sun in the afternoon, but as if bathed in the scorching sun in the morning.
He felt that his vision began to become brighter and vast, as if it corresponded to the warmth in his body.
Could it be that this is the miracle of the God of Scavengers?
The God of Scavenger responded to my prayers?
Nico was so excited that he shed tears of excitement. He knelt there in a pious posture, praying to the God of Scavenger even more piously.
Gradually, he felt his body become lighter.
It seems that he can soar in the air at will, freely as fast sailing boats galloping in the blue sea.
Neller's complaint finally came to an end, and Sloth's eyes were on Nico.
"Look!" she shouted.
Everyone, including Lin, looked at Nico.
