Chapter 31: Chapter 31. Encountering Predators! The Player’s First Battle!

The uses of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol are quite extensive.

If the Sanctuary Outpost wants to truly start industrialization, then these chemical raw materials are essential.

Although it is not useful for the time being, Lucius still gave the player [ WC Really Has Mosquitoes ] a reward of 1000 contribution points, and publicized his outstanding contribution of 'using wood as a raw material to successfully prepare acetic acid, acetone, and methanol'.

By the way, does this count as the full server announcement in the online game novel?

Looking at the proud face of [ WC Really Has Mosquitoes ] and the envious expressions of other players, Lucius felt that it was necessary for him to maintain this fine tradition.

Not just in games. It has to be announced on the official website! In the future, you can also create a Hall of Fame, and record in it that 'a certain player achieved a certain achievement on a certain day, a certain month and a certain year'.

This kind of achievement can be solving a development problem, or clearing a difficult dungeon.

As a poor ruler, a cheap sense of honor is the only cost-effective reward he can give players.

After finishing the work, Lucius took Walker and Mr. Garbage along the elevated highway outside the Wetland Park and continued to explore north.

While searching for traces of prey, look for valuable exploration targets.

The industrial clusters in Spring City are mainly concentrated in the southeast corner of the city, distributed in a fan shape along the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.

The northern part where Wetland Park is located is dominated by residential areas, and there are even many unfinished buildings along the road out of the city.

In addition to relatively complete public supporting facilities such as education, medical care, and transportation, this area has not formed a large-scale industrial cluster. There are only some small light industrial workshops scattered in the suburbs far away from residences, and they are neighbors of waste incineration stations.

Now, they are mostly covered by forests.

When the nuclear war was approaching, the northern suburbs of Spring City were hardly directly hit by strategic weapons due to their huge population base and extremely low strategic value.

But in contrast, after the overall collapse of order, the huge number of refugees brought disaster in another sense.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, vegetable markets, and shopping malls were quickly robbed, followed by hospitals, schools, office buildings, and all shops along the street, and even every refrigerator and locker in the residence.

No refuge would risk their own safety to open the floodgates to accept them, and it was impossible, and the completely paralyzed traffic also made it difficult for these people to leave here.

Even today, two hundred years later, the tragedies that once took place here can be glimpsed from the bullet holes and broken glass on the wall.

On some display windows, next to shelves, in trash cans, and even up to now, there are still half-weathered skeletons.

"Hiss... this is too miserable."

Looking at the two skeletons, one large and one small hugging each other, Mr. Garbage could not bear to look away, and closed the open trash bin door.

Walker's reaction was quite calm. After all, it wasn't the first time he had gone out with Lucius. He was used to the situation here, and even put on the air of an old player to comment.

"One thing to say, the scene design of this game is quite in place... as if it is really in the post-apocalyptic world."

"This is the world after the end."

Lucius replied casually, carefully observing the situation in the shop window, and made a mark on the paper map.

This should be a clothing store.

But there were not many clothes left on the shelves, and the only two rags hanging were covered with black mold.

Apparently scavengers visited here a long time ago. And more than one wave came.

"...I think we are wasting our efforts," Walker said with a sigh, "Obviously, everything has been searched here."

"I can always find something useful... such as this thing." Lucius found an unopened box of sewing kits from behind the nearly smashed cabinet, and threw it into Walker's hands.

The needle should be made of alloy material, and the thread should be made of rayon. If it is not unpacked, there will be no problem of oxidation. Let alone two hundred years, it can be used even after two hundred years.

These gadgets are what the outpost lacks most at the moment.

Shuri should be interested in it.

There is nothing to search anymore, and the group prepares to withdraw from the store.

However, at this moment, there was a mournful howl in the distance, followed by two gunshots.

It sounds like a 5mm bullet.

Lucius became alert instantly, took down the iron-pipe rifle from his back, ducked down and hid in the shadow of the wall, and carefully followed the source of the sound.

On a street corner not far away, under the crooked billboard, a man in a gray coat was shot and fell to the ground, moving back in horror.

Blood oozed from his back and flowed all over the floor.

"... Scavengers?"

Not long after, another figure turned around the corner of the street.

I saw a gunman wearing a fur coat, biting half of a cigarette, holding an iron-barreled rifle made out of garbage, walking towards the man lying on the ground begging for mercy.

Behind him was a man and a dog.

I saw that the accomplice was also holding a rifle with a similar shape in his hand, a fire ax was hanging on his waist, and a dog chain was tied on the other side.

Lucius's pupils shrank slightly.

In less than a second, he quickly determined the identities of the two.

Predator!

"What's going on outside?" Walker approached from the side and asked in a low voice.

He thought he was already very quiet, but his concealment skills were still more than a little weaker after all

"Hush!"

Just as Lucius had time to make a silent gesture, he saw the mutated hyena with an iron chain tied around his neck turn his head and bark twice in his direction.

Lucius's expression changed instantly.

Fuck!

This beast's skill points are all added to perception?!

In a blink of an eye, the two predators also looked over in an instant, reacted very quickly, and raised their rifles to shoot.

Clap!

After two gunshots in a row, Lucius quickly retracted his head, but soon he realized that he was simply worrying too much.

Eighty percent of the handmade DIY rifles have no rifling.

With a distance of one street away, I felt lonely, and as expected, a few bullets didn't even touch the door next to me, and all fell on the cement road.

"A firefight?! What's going on?! Did we meet a mutant?!" The garbage gentleman hiding in the shop didn't panic at all, and even excitedly rubbed his fists.

It was the same with Walker, who immediately pulled out his javelin.

"Don't panic, I'll take a look first—"

"Look at a fart!"

Seeing that these two guys didn't know the slightest bit of fear, Lucius's nose was almost crooked, so he freed his hand to hold Walker's head, and pushed him back.

"It's a predator! Both of them have guns, and a dog is following them! You retreat through the back door, and we will meet in front of the bus station 300 meters due south—"

"My dear manager, why are we retreating? There are only two people and a beast on the other side, and we are no less than them!" Mr. Garbage clenched his fists, "We can fight too!"

"That's right! We can fight!"

Walker also nodded excitedly, picked up the crossbow dropped by the manager just now, and said with high morale, "Although we only have one gun, we still have Molotov cocktails... and this two-meter-tall lizard, I don't believe it." He can't beat a dog."

Hearing this sentence, Lucius, who was nervous, came back to his senses in an instant.

Yup.

What are you running for?

In the past, I was alone in my family, with my head tied to my trouser belt to open up wasteland outside. It was normal for me to hide from such vicious bandits.

Now, if you want guns and guns, and people and people, what the hell are you doing! What's more, there are two people on the opposite side.

Lucius's reaction was also quick, and he made a decision immediately, and at the same time pulled the bolt to load the bullet.

F*ck it!

"You, take the Molotov cocktail and go over there." Lucius threw the Molotov cocktail and the match into Walker's hand, pointed casually, and pointed to the diagonally opposite street corner.

"Pay attention to my command, as soon as my gun fires, throw it away!"

The other party didn't know how many people were on his side, and when they saw someone rushing out, they would definitely chase after them.

Walker, who took the Molotov cocktail, froze for a moment.

"I, how should I get there."

"Run over, or you still want me to carry you over? Don't worry, their guns don't have rifling, so they can't hit you." Lucius stretched out his hand and pushed him.

Although he panicked a lot, but thinking that this was an opportunity to show himself in front of the manager, he gritted his teeth and decided to go ahead.

Oh shit. Fight!!!

Scared of a die in the game!

Sure enough, just as Lucius expected, seeing Walker rushing out of the shop, the two predators immediately let out a strange squawk and fired two shots at him.

"Haha, my little baby, where are you going?"

"Give up, you won't be able to escape, and now you can spare your life if you surrender!"

Walker couldn't understand what these people were saying, but felt the bullets whizzing past his scalp.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, and didn't dare to raise his head, he rushed into the shop on the other side of the street.

The two predators looked at each other, smiled evilly, pressed forward with guns in front of each other, and let go of the dog chain.

There is no gun on him. Eighty percent of them are scavengers picking up rubbish around here. To them, crushing a scavenger is no different from crushing a cockroach.

Lucius, who was hiding in the shop, remained motionless, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Hearing the barking of the dog getting closer, he leaned out half of his body suddenly, aimed at the mutated hyena that was running wildly and pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The 9mm bullet burst out, and it was impossible to dodge at a distance of less than five meters. It pierced through the side of the beast——

Although Lucius aimed at the head.

Before he could even scream, the hyena fell headlong to the ground, rolled two meters and stopped moving.

The predator who rushed close was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting that the other party also had a gun.

When he came back to his senses, the partner he had been with day and night had died tragically, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted by anger.

"I'm going to strip you alive!"

"Joan, calm down! There's more than one person—"

Before the words fell, a Molotov cocktail was thrown over, and it slammed on the wreckage of the wrecked car behind the two of them.

Flames sprang up along with scattered glass shards.

Seeing that the other party still had Molotov cocktails, the predator hurriedly avoided, already thinking of retreating. However, they, who were blocked by the flames, had no way to retreat for a while, and fell into a passive dilemma.

At this moment, one of the predators suddenly caught a glimpse of a terrifying figure from the corner of his eye under the eaves of the shops on the street.

It was a lizard with dark green skin.

Or rather, a human lizard.

"Monster--"

Whoosh!

A piercing sound cut off the predator's words, and the javelin pierced his chest directly, nailing him to the burning abandoned car behind him.

Until the last moment of his life, he didn't understand why that long and alien-like monster would be mixed with scavengers.

He has heard of domesticating mutated hyenas as pets, and even of raising bears and horses, but this is the first time he has heard that someone can domesticate this thing.

This is too outrageous!
