Start a Core Pod

One good thing about being in the end of the world is that everyone knows that if you want to get something, you have to give something. After Duanmu Huai made his decision, other survivors also decisively joined the team - after all, you will get something if you put in the effort. To take a step back, you can get as much as you put in, right?

Aiden and Joel naturally want to join. They are weak in power, and this matter is originally Joel's problem. As for Aiden - as a wanderer, he has this opportunity to pick up trash. It will never be let go.

 As for those students, Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto joined in, and they were somewhat capable of fighting. As for Takagi Saya, she will stay and be responsible for taking care of Shirley, Alice and Ellie with Mary... After all, they can't safely leave the two little girls in this unfamiliar place.

The reason why Mary stayed is very simple. As a writer, in her opinion, there is a lot of material that can be collected in this gathering place, right?

And with Mary's ability, even if the people in this gathering place want to do something to them... Well, thanks to Mary's kind heart, generally speaking, she is not likely to cause harm to people, but it is not difficult for her to suppress the entire gathering place. of.

 Lumiere and Eclair stayed behind to guard the train, while Duanmu Huai took Ogis and Qi Wei on the road.

Of course, before that, they also got maps from people at the gathering place to determine the route.

"Hmm...so this oil product warehouse is on the east side...it's not too far, not too close."

Duanmuhuai looked at the circles drawn on the map and compared their locations. If he was lucky, the food processing plant itself was located in the industrial zone, and the oil product warehouse was also located on the edge of the industrial zone. Of course, this kind of No one can put the warehouse in the city center for you, otherwise wouldn't it be interesting to set off big fireworks?

It is precisely because of this that the warehouse has been preserved. The problem now is that it is about two blocks from the food processing plant to the oil warehouse-normally, this is only a few dozen minutes by bus.

but now?

Looking at the streets full of car wrecks and debris scattered on the ground - yes, this is the problem.

Even if you get to the oil warehouse, you will be doomed if you can't transport the oil, but you know that it can't be transported by manpower. There are only a few barrels of fuel for one person to carry on his shoulder. What is enough for him?

According to the commander at the gathering place, the scouts detected the oil warehouse and the oil tanker used for transportation. If it's not damaged, it's not unusable.

 But the problem is...this car has to be able to drive all the way!

 The current road conditions are comparable to a morning rush hour traffic jam. Unless these car wrecks are removed, nothing can be done.

　　Everybody understands why ten minutes of traffic can be blocked for an hour, right?

 Fortunately... they are not helpless.

 “Boom!”

Duanmu Huai strode forward and swung the warhammer in his hand suddenly. He saw the wreckage of the vehicle paralyzed on the street being blown away like a golf ball, spinning rapidly in the air for several times, and then slammed heavily. It hit the ruins of nearby shops and houses - no one lives in these places anyway, and they are not afraid of people coming to them to complain and claim compensation.

Of course, these places are not really without owners. Those frightened zombies naturally would not let the culprit go. They jumped out directly to express their anger, and were then killed by the survivors who were waiting for them.

“Huh… to be honest, this is my first time doing this kind of work.”

After killing a zombie again, Aiden also took out another magazine and loaded it with bullets, and then looked at Duanmu Huai who was opening the way ahead with a complicated expression.

“This is really…how should I put it, this is even more outrageous than a tank opening the road ahead.”

“To be honest, I doubt whether Mr. Duanmu has been infected by the virus.”

Miyamoto Rei was also holding the spear in her hand and gossiping in a low voice.

"Look at his size, most people can't be that strong, but Night Demon is very tall, almost the same as him..."

“But he shouldn’t have been infected, after all…”

At this moment, Joel also came over.

“Although he looks quite scary, he is still a human being after all. Look at him, and there doesn’t seem to be any trace of infection.”

“But the technology of this Inquisition must be very advanced.”

Komuro Takashi held the baseball bat in his hand and stared at the power armor on Duanmu Huai. As a boy, it was normal for him to be unable to walk after seeing such high-tech gadgets.

“Look at his armor, let alone zombies, I think it can even block missiles!”

 “Don’t even think about it.”

 Seeing the envious look in Komuro Takashi's eyes, Miyamoto Rei curled her lips.

“You can’t put on such a big armor even if someone puts it on you.”

“Actually, I’m quite curious as to what this thing is powered by…”

Not only Komuro Takashi, but also Aiden and Joel are extremely coveted for this power armor. People like them who crawl around in the wasteland understand the importance of equipment best. Especially this kind of power armor that looks very awesome, and in fact seems very awesome. It would be a lie to say that they are not drooling, but unfortunately, they also know that they are not so lucky—— Of course, with their figures, this thing can't be worn.

 But it doesn’t stop them from discussing.

It's like a group of boys gathering together to watch a tank. Even if the tank isn't yours, it's still fun to watch, isn't it?

Miyamoto Rei couldn't understand this kind of man's romance, but she followed Duanmuhuai carefully, and at the same time she clenched the spear in her hand and stared at both sides - the houses on both sides of the street were "cleaned" by Duanmuhuai just now. The bottom has basically collapsed, and even if there is something inside, it probably won't survive long, but as a girl, Miyamoto Rei is still very careful.

 “Crash!”

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the ruins of the house next to it, and upon hearing the sound, Miyamoto Rei hurriedly turned around, held her spear, and aimed at the place where the sound came from.

 “Be careful, there’s something over there!”

"What?" After hearing Rei Miyamoto's reminder, the other three men who were still discussing whether Duanmuhuai's power armor was powered by nuclear energy or some other source also came to their senses at this moment and hurriedly looked towards the place where the sound came from. Go, silently raising the weapon, and then under their gaze, a black figure suddenly emerged from the ruins of the half-collapsed house.

 “Woof woof woof!”

That's an...Akita dog?

Looking at the dog in front of them, everyone was a little surprised. However, this Akita dog seemed to have not seen anyone for a long time. It rushed over excitedly and waggled its tail at Rei Miyamoto.

 “What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

 Duanmu Huai, who was clearing obstacles in front, also heard the dog barking from behind and turned his head to take a look.

 “Hey, there’s another dog?”

 “This is really interesting.”

Qiangwei looked at the dog and chuckled.

 “It seems quite cute.”

 “It’s dirty.”

Ogis, on the other hand, has a completely different view.

 “Woof woof! Woof woof woof!”

This Akita seemed to be really happy. It kept wagging its tail and circling around the crowd. At the same time, it also performed a roll on the ground with its belly exposed. At least it looked like a close relative.

However, Miyamoto Rei looked at the dog with a complicated expression. Finally, she gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the spear.

 “Go, go!”

While shouting, Miyamoto Rei waved her spear at the Akita dog, trying to drive it away. The Akita dog was obviously reluctant to give up. While dodging Rei Miyamoto's attempts to drive him away, he continued to bark and look like he was pleading. But Joel couldn't see it, so he raised his hand and shot, which made the dog tremble, then turned and ran away.

 “Why drive it away? Isn’t it good to keep it?”

Looking at the appearance of these people, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised. The wasteland and the dogs would leave as soon as they said they would. People have sent it to your door, but you actually drove it away? And you, Miyamoto Rei, I can’t tell you are a little girl, but you are quite cruel.

 “Animals are a problem.”

After driving away the dog, Joel frowned and snorted, while Komuro Takashi and Aiden also nodded.

“Yes, yes, even if you are human, you are still an animal. We were harmed by dogs before…”

 “Oh, yes, I remembered.”

Hearing their complaints, Duanmu Huai then remembered that the reason why this group of people had their homes tragically demolished by zombies was because the teddy raised by one of the survivors lured the zombies over by barking like a psychopath. As a result, they were almost wiped out. It's no wonder that these people have such a big psychological shadow on dogs. If you think about it carefully, it's not wrong. After all, dogs are dogs - although in Duanmu Huai's view, there is still a difference between Teddy and Akita Inu.

 In fact, Duanmu Huai said, it is quite interesting to have a dog in the wasteland, but... the dogs in the game will not cause trouble for you.

　　In the real world, you were lurking, and then your teddy pounced on you and barked, exposing you. I guess you were thinking of killing it and making dog meat hot pot.

Although Teddy doesn’t have a few ounces of meat, it’s probably not enough to make hot pot base.

The zombies in this world have no vision and basically rely on hearing, so most of the wanderers are mainly stealth, and Aiden and Joel are no exception. Therefore, what they hate most is naturally the kind that exposes their existence - well, they have to admit, they probably don't like dogs very much.

 In this case, there is nothing we can do.

For Duanmu Huai and others, this was just a small episode. After that, everyone continued to move forward while cleaning up the zombies attracted by Duanmu Huai. It has to be said that these people are indeed somewhat capable. , Duanmu Huai originally wanted to replace them if they were not good, but he did not expect that each of these people was somewhat capable.

For example, Komuro Takashi wore a motorcycle helmet and held a baseball bat full of nails in his hand. He would swing the stick at the zombies and hit them on the head. Although the fungus-infected and mutated zombies were resistant to beatings, they would not be beaten. The brain will still die.

Aiden on the other side was better at making random weapons. Duanmu Huai saw him digging around in the ruins a few times, then took out a wooden board and discarded saws, kitchen knives, water pipes, etc., wrapped them with tape, and rushed straight away. Going up, although these weapons are not very durable, they are better than using local materials. If it breaks, just make a new one.

In Miyamoto Rei's hand was a weapon that looked like a spear, which she seemed to have found in the mall at that time. I have to say that this little girl is the most presentable one here. Look at her swinging a stick. Flower, and then stabbing at the hem, it looks like he has practiced it. Duanmu Huai also asked curiously, and sure enough, this person was from the gun club, and he was considered a semi-professional.

On the contrary, Joel is the most normal... or the most abnormal one among these people. He has a pistol on his waist, a shotgun on his back, and a longbow in his hand. He looks like a complete Gunslinger dress up. In fact, this person is responsible for long-range attacks from behind most of the time. At least he won't fight zombies in close combat like Aiden or Miyamoto Rei.

Duanmuhuai is somewhat dismissive of this - after all, close combat is sacred justice.

Miyamoto Rei, a girl, can hold a spear and confront zombies. It's somewhat unreasonable for you, a man, to hide behind, isn't it?

Of course, although everyone cooperated tacitly along the way, they also killed a lot of zombies. But reality is not a game after all. In the game, you can control the character to kill people who don’t bring food for a whole night. In reality, everyone doesn’t have the physical strength. Soon, several people in charge of melee combat were tired and panting, and they were a little out of breath. I caught my breath.

 Seeing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Ojis and Qianwei.

“Okay, I’ve done a good job, it’s time for you to put in some effort.”
