Returning from the abyss

Chapter 103 Civil turmoil
Humans are a race that is good at hunting creatures stronger than themselves.

Use tools, craft weapons, set traps, and learn habits.It can also be said that it is a racial talent to win in the jungle fight with a body that is far inferior to the beasts.

The evil claws are terrifyingly strong, but they are still far from being invincible. After all, if they are really like that, they will not exist on the hunting list of the mission.

Cao Xiong sent ten people, brought enough gunpowder, and set off with Lu Ning.He doesn't trust much, but he takes risks.This is one of the reasons why he is so proud of those next door.

A violent fight broke out in Vault 33 last night.

Regardless of which side, those who dare to go out to collect supplies are bold guys, and there is no shortage of grumpy people among the bold guys. The return of these people finally got out of control for a while.

The reason is that a team that had been away for a long time came back to find that their room was occupied by strangers.It's just that they won't drag them out to show the public to reason like Lin Qi and others, and immediately block those people in the room and beat them up severely.

Unfortunately, they also beat up a lot of people and friends. After hearing the news, they immediately started to fight sideways, and it turned into a group fight within 2 minutes.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old people in the refuge began to secretly attack those newcomers who were not used to it for a long time. The fight broke out from the second basement floor and spread to the upper and lower floors. There are even cases of overt robbery.

The only one that was not involved was the military convoy. Their discipline was stricter, and after realizing the shortage of rooms, they immediately took advantage of the cold weather to dig soil and splash water on the open space next to them to build a house, which happened not to be in the shelter.

Mo Lianren pulled Jiang Nuo, another tourist who stayed in the refuge, to escape from the chaotic area, but it was hard for Tuliba and Qiu Ren to be beaten and fought inside. I don’t know. What are you trying to figure out.

Zhang Nianxiu had no choice but to ask No. 34 for help, and was ridiculed by Cao Xiong for a long time. When Lu Ning, Xuan Zitong, Pang Heng and others left, they saw Mo Lianren standing outside the shelter, looking at him indifferently. As the troublemakers were escorted out one by one, they called her.

All I got was a wave.

"33 can't hold it anymore. Zhang Nianxiu is still trying to unite everyone. God knows what those people are thinking."

The driver is someone Cao Xiong trusts, his surname is Man, and Lu Ning calls him Uncle Man along with others.

"Uncle Man seems to be very familiar with them?"

"I was there back when there was only one refuge." Uncle Man snorted a little pretentiously, "Zhang Nianxiu is the kind of guy who is stupid enough to contribute to himself. It's a rope. Lao Cao fell out with him because he couldn't stand him like that. Before when there were few people, there was still control over there, and life was pretty good. Now let's see which side is more comfortable to live in?"

"It's the end of the world, and it's really stupid to think that everyone will be saved." Pang Heng muttered behind him.

"For people who have nothing, he is a life-saving straw, and he is also a fool! You are right, this kid is stupid! I don't have the ability to work hard, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Chatting about Zhang Nianxiu's predicament, the group had already driven to the first predetermined location.

There is a big river to the south from the shelter, and there are only two bridges near the river.Although the river water froze as the weather got colder, who said the ice couldn't explode?

In order to test, Lu Ning asked someone to open a small hole in the ice, and tested the refreezing speed after the ice was broken.The result is no doubt, the current weather can almost be said that dripping water will turn into ice, and in two days it will probably be splashed into ice, as long as a magical beast falls into the river, it will be frozen in minutes.

Now that the verification was completed, everyone immediately began to install explosives under the arrangement of Xuan Zitong. Lu Ning and Pang Heng, who could not help for a while, stood on the river bank to prevent any surprise attack by monsters.

"Where is the battle area you arranged for me?"

"The abandoned mine pit to the southwest from here. I think you probably like it too."

Pang Heng sneered.

"If that place blows up, I'll die too, right? Do you want me to live or not?"

"You don't even have the determination to complete the hunting mission desperately?"

"What I want is resurrection! How can you take such a risk? If you want to go, leave it to yourself. I want to change places."

Lu Ning shook her head slightly, and said, "Then rely on the ruined town in the southeast. It has been searched and cleaned up. It happens to be equipped with explosives, and it is easy to escape in all directions. How about it?"

Pang Heng thought for a while, and nodded when he thought it was ok.

Due to the problem of time and manpower, Lu Ning and Xuan Zitong will split into two groups. Xuan Zitong and Pang Heng are on the side of the ruins, while Lu Ning and Uncle Man hold Xuan Zitong in the mine. Check out the plan drawings.Fortunately, there is no need to consider concealment and other issues to intercept the monsters, otherwise it will only take longer to bury the explosives.

Now, return to the shelter just in time for nightfall.

There seems to be something strange about the shelter tonight.

Usually, the shelter is pitch-black at night, people live underground, and there is at most one place on the ground where there are people at the scout post.However, when I returned here today, the open space between the two refuges was actually brightly lit.The headlights of several cars projected light into the crowd, and the angry eyes and expressions of people could be seen.

"I am disappointed. The first time I came back, I brought back food and daily necessities; this time I came back, I brought back weapons and fuel, which I shared with you openly, but what was shown to me was Such a scene—chaos, disorder, fighting over little things, regardless of imminent danger."

Lin Qi stood in the middle of the open space, and opposite him stood Zhang Nianxiu, Cao Xiong and many managers of the shelter.

"The unity you said when you recruited us has not been fulfilled, but now these lazy thieves and robbers have been bred. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhang Nianxiu, most of my ideas and yours are actually consistent, but I think some people Not worth saving."

"They have some problems, but they don't deserve to die." Zhang Nianxiu looked at Lin Qi, and his tone didn't back down.

"They should be damned. How is it different from those walking dead outside when the catastrophe comes and does not want to make progress? The end result of destroying a shelter from the outside is the same as destroying it from the inside. Instead of waiting for these people to The toss here is torn apart, it is better to make a decisive decision!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qi pulled out the pistol from his waist, and fired several shots at the people who were being detained beside him. In an instant, six corpses fell to the ground.

"How do you..."

"You ask me what qualifications I have to execute them? Mr. Zhang, I'm not like you who don't know who you recruited, Qiu Ren!"

Qiu Ren, with black eyes and parted lips, squeezed away the crowd, walked up to Lin Qi, took out a notebook, cleared his throat, and read aloud:
"Xu Zihao, joined the shelter on the afternoon of the [-]th, led seven companions to occupy the room of the search team, and refused to return it afterwards. He used threats, hints, etc. to force others to work for him, and stole food from the cafeteria twice. Later denied. Instigated two small brawls, tried to form a gang, and was found to steal the remaining rations of the search team during the incident this morning."

Zhang Nianxiu's face turned blue.

"Han Liexin, joined the refuge on the evening of the [-]th. He is physically strong but doesn't want to go out. He obtained a lot of supplies by extorting the newcomers who entered the refuge later. There are four younger brothers under his command. Because of his low-key behavior and good at bribery, he didn't attract much attention. Last night He once tried to sneak into a women's dormitory to commit violence, but he failed because the quarantined personnel went back to bed, and the hallucinogens were found under his pillow, and he is likely to commit crimes again."

"plum……"

"enough!"

Zhang Nianxiu dejectedly stopped Qiu Ren from continuing.

He thought he had some truth to it, but now he wondered if something had really gone wrong.

At this time, Lin Qi suddenly asked the old man in the army who was watching from a distance: "Mr. Wen, dare to ask people who behave like this, how should we deal with them before the end of the day?"

"Why does Lin Xiaoyou ask me? I think everyone understands that the light ones will be sentenced, and the serious ones..."

"Even in an era of peace, such moths should be isolated from society, but Mr. Zhang, what you are doing now can only be said to be indulging - indulging them to destroy this shelter that we have worked so hard to build! Everyone present carefully Think about it, since they came, how are you doing these days? Compared with before? Is life really comfortable when there are more people?"

Many people shook their heads.

"The first evil should be punished, and the murderer must be punished! The more the end of the world, the more strict the law must be! Mr. Zhang Nianxiu, you failed to manage this shelter well. We searchers are disappointed, and those who stayed here to do construction are also disappointed. Now In such a situation, you probably still don’t know what threat is coming from outside, right? Cold wave? That’s just one of them. Yi Nan, turn on the projector and let them see the pictures we took.”

In line with Lin Qi's words, Ran Yinan immediately turned on the projection device on their car and played a video stored in Lin Qi's computer.

It was a desolate, snow-covered field.Countless magical beasts gallop past from a distance, and the camera slowly pulls in tremblingly. It can be seen that there are familiar moths, giants, and even larger elephant-shaped magical beasts in the air. A sprinting plasma beast.The ground surface is raised, biting insects rush out from the ground from time to time, hanging gravel and snow dust, casting black arc shadows under the pale sunlight.

Among the group of monsters running wild like a doomsday carnival, the four largest giant elephants sit on four monsters that are obviously different from other monsters.

A slender monster with the graceful figure of a human woman, but its head is covered with tangled tree vines. It sits on the giant elephant in a cross-legged manner, and several thin vines protrude from its legs, piercing into the giant elephant's body stabilize the body.

Two stone monsters can be said to be like mirror images. One has a thick left arm and mysterious lines engraved on the surface of the right arm, and the other is just the opposite.Even their heads are pointed on the left and one on the right.

The last one is full of spikes on the back, which fit tightly on the back of the giant elephant, but as the lens stretches, people suddenly find that there are some soft tentacles among the spikes, and there are eyeballs on them. At first glance, the scalp looks hairy. numb!

"What are those things!"

The overly distorted and bizarre appearance obviously exceeded the acceptance level of some people, and the crowd suddenly let out exclamations.

"It's the latest type of monster. Survivors outside collectively call it 'Evil Claw'. It is named after the first monster discovered. I won't talk nonsense. Those giant elephants have already been recorded in the outside world. The 'Shock Elephant' is a magical beast that is good at destroying ground fortifications. The length of the several horses used as mounts is about eight meters. In comparison, the evil claws on it must be about two or three meters tall. And these can only be regarded as the most 'petite' species among them. Now, the army of monsters you see is coming towards us. It is expected to arrive in four to five days."

As soon as Lin Qi said this, everyone in No. 33 fell silent.
