Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 153: rainstorm

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Long Ye Yuhuo!

The raindrops fell on the ground, splashing white mist.

The blackened soil has long been muddy, and the low-lying places are full of water.

Selma and his companion drove a dilapidated utility vehicle through houses that had been abandoned for many years.

"Damn it, I'm almost out of sight!" Selma stared ahead and tapped the steering wheel.

The car’s wipers worked hard, but they could only keep the windshield clear for a second.

"Find a place to take shelter from the rain." Sandro, the co-pilot, made a suggestion. "You don't know that there will always be various extreme weather on the wasteland, and it's still summer."

Their four-person team is a relic hunter who lives in the wasteland. They often come and go here, and they are no strangers to similar situations.

"Okay." Selma sighed, "I thought I would be able to reach the river tonight and return to the city tomorrow morning."

Although you don’t have to worry too much about car accidents in the wasteland on the north shore, due to the population and the density of vehicles, the visibility is extremely low even if there is heavy rain, it is a low probability to hit the same kind, but it is regarded as a "intermediate level". Hunter", Selma knew very well that the danger was not in this.

In this extreme weather, the wasteland on the North Shore itself means trouble.

You will never know if the ground will suddenly collapse in front of you, and you cannot confirm how deep the seemingly low-lying place is. In the heavy rain, your car may disappear while driving. Everyone Drowned in an old world culvert filled with rainwater or buried in a passing river.

In addition to these, there are natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides.

With the help of the car's headlights, Selma could barely see the surrounding situation.

It belongs to the outskirts of the old world, but at that time many people in the Red River area liked to live in this kind of place. Single-family houses with lawns and gardens, so at a glance, Selma saw a lot of buildings, some of them It has collapsed, and some are still intact, but are covered with snake-like green vines.

Under the gloomy sky, in the violent wind and rain, the trees, weeds and houses all gave a feeling of crumbling.

Selma followed his memory and drove the vehicle to a higher ground.

Along the way, they have been looking for shelter from the rain. After all, they can't always stay in the car. This will increase energy consumption, and they only have a barrel of gasoline left.

As experienced relic hunters, Selma and Sandro knew that shelters from the rain could not be picked randomly. Although these buildings left over from the old world seemed to be intact, they seemed to be able to stand for many years, but Some of them have long been dilapidated, and they may collapse directly after being shrouded in wind and heavy rain for a few hours.

I don’t know how many relic hunters thought they had found a safe place to protect them from the wind and rain. They relaxed their vigilance and were buried alive under masonry, wood, and cement.

After sweeping the houses in this way, Sandro pointed to the tallest place and said:

"That building seems to be fine, the terrain is the best, and there is no major damage, that is, there are more snake vines, and the big mosquito likes this kind of place the most."

"We have deworming potions." Denise, who was sitting in the back row, responded with a smile.

They quickly unified their opinions and let the vehicle drive from the back to the house at the highest point under the dark sky and withstand the violent wind and rain.

The dilapidated and muddy road has caused a lot of obstacles to them. Fortunately, there is no deep water and no need to detour.

After almost ten minutes, they arrived at their destination and turned to the front of the house.

Suddenly, Selma and Sandro's eyelids twitched at the same time.

Inside that house, a yellowish light escaped, exaggerating!

"Other relic hunters?" Denise also saw this scene.

This is the most reasonable inference of the current situation:

Other relic hunters also chose higher places to hide because of the violent storms.

They didn’t think about whether the houses in front of them were still inhabited because it was impossible—the farmland in the surrounding area was seriously polluted, and the crops could not be eaten at all. In other words, it was impossible to form a certain-scale settlement nearby. Relying on hunting can only feed a small number of people, while facing natural disasters, facing "unintentional", facing abnormal creatures, facing robbers, it is difficult for a few people to resist.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is just a temporary hut for certain hunters.

"Do you want to go?" Sandro asked in a deep voice.

It is not necessarily a good thing to meet a colleague in the wasteland of the North Bank, it is the same for both parties.

Selma was about to answer, already seeing the corresponding situation clearly.

The rusty iron fence of the house in front of the gate is open; the overgrown garden has been crushed by wheels to make a relatively flat road; there is a stone roof outside the main building to shelter from the rain, and a gray-green jeep and A dark black cross-country machine; in the hall, a fire rose, and a portable stainless steel round pot was standing, cooking things; beside the fire, there were six people, three men and three women.

Two of them are on guard, two of them look after the fire, and the remaining two huddled on their moved chairs and single-person sofas, hurrying to sleep.

What Selma, Sandro and others are most concerned about is not the number of each other, but what weapons they carry.

"Short neck"...Assault rifle..."United 202"...Quickly confirm the situation in this regard, Selma said carefully:

"It's not very good to go straight like this. If they take advantage of us to come down and blow up our tires with a few cold shots, it will be dangerous."

This kind of weather, this kind of road, once a tire blows out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Well, I used to say hello to Liangliang, and it's never too late to leave." Sandro agreed.

Denise followed:

"Maybe useful information can be exchanged."

Selma, who was supported by her companion, drove the vehicle to the door of the house, and when the patrol of the Ruins Hunter squad on the opposite side raised his gun to aim it, he took the initiative to stop.

"Where did you come from?" Selma asked loudly, pressing down the car window.

"Initially the city!" Shang Jian Yao rushed ahead of his comrades and responded with a louder voice than the other, "What about you?"

It was the "old tune group" and Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo who successfully escaped from the original city to prepare dinner while hiding from the rain. At this time, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were taking care of the fire and heating the canned food. Longyue red and white During the morning patrol, Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo, who were not in good physical condition, were alert for accidents and had been running around for more than a day, and took the time to rest.

As for Gnawa, I am idle as well. I am exploring every room on every floor of this house to see what books, newspapers and materials from the old world can be found.

"Beian Herford." Selma's voice penetrated the wind and rain, and got into the ears of Jiang Baimian and others.

North Anherford refers to a certain area of ​​this wasteland on the north bank of the Red River, derived from similar place names in the Old World.

This kind of regional division has no clear boundaries and is a product of pure empiricism.

Before Shang saw Yao's response, Selma shouted again:

"Can you talk a few words?"

"You can park your car over there and come back." Shang Jianyao stood up and pointed to a place on the side of the house.

From there to the foyer, there is shelter from the rain along the way.

Selma seemed to be steady but carefully drove the car to the predetermined position. Then, they each took their weapons and pushed the door down.

One of them is using the "Tronge" assault rifle produced by "Civil City", one is carrying a "Sour Orange" submachine gun, one is carrying a portable light machine gun, and the other is carrying an "Eagle Eye" sniper rifle. The firepower is not unbelievable.

This is one of the reasons why they are always treated kindly.

Not yet near the hall, they smelled the strong smell of food at the same time, and they only felt that the breath had penetrated into the heart through their lungs.

"Canned beef with potatoes...This material is very rich..." Selma and others cheered up and walked to the hall.

With the light of the fire, they finally saw clearly the looks of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others.

The gray people...have been genetically modified? It's a little background... At the same time as the eyes lit up, Selma's mind flashed through multiple thoughts.

As an experienced relic hunter, he and his companions have dealt with members of the "White Knights" and know the various manifestations of genetic improvement, and Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian perfectly fit the corresponding characteristics.

This made Selma and the others more solemn.

"You came from Bei'an Herford?" Jiang Baimian, who was sitting cross-legged by the fire, raised his head and asked.

Zeng Duo’s Chuchun Town is in that area.

"Yes, the pollution there is relatively not so serious. You can stay for a longer time..." When Selma replied, she felt the aroma of roast beef with potatoes pouring into her mind one after another, almost disturbing her thinking.

They have taken the risk for nearly two weeks in the wasteland of the North Bank, and they have long been tired of eating dry food and wild game meat, which is of very woody quality.

Jiang Baimian did not stand up to say hello, glanced at them, and said with a smile:

"If you don't mind, you can eat together.

"Of course, I can't distribute beef and potatoes to you. This belongs to my companion, but you are allowed to use dry food for the soup."

Selma, Sandro and others glanced at each other and felt that this wasn't a bad thing either.

If the other party wants to eat these foods too, it is enough to wait for others to relax their vigilance. UU reading www. uukanshu. cm

Sandro and Denise each held their weapons, and Selma and Toller sat by the fire in case of an accident.

"How is the situation in Bei'an Herford?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Selma recalled for a moment:

"It's the same as before, that is, a certain army in the'Initial City' seems to be doing a drill. Once it gets close to certain places, it will meet them and cannot go any further."

So... Jiang Baimian turned his side and looked at Zeng Duo on the solo sofa next to him.

The lady has opened her eyes.

Selma took the opportunity to ask:

"What happened in the city lately?"

Jiang Baimian groaned for a few seconds, then said "Yes":

"The'Hand of Order' is chasing a group of people, making the city stormy."
