Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 17 A-level monsters

   Soon, Littlefinger and Gao Gong split up, and Littlefinger mobilized his network to scavenge the waste city, and even further metropolitan areas to search for traces of desert worms.

   And Gao Gong decided to get rid of the desert worms in the heavy metal swamp first.

   The movements of the two were a little urgent. According to Littlefinger, forcing the mechanical hunters to hunt down the radiation beasts was only the first step. Soon, the security team would organize the mechanical hunters into armed teams and go out to hunt wandering beasts.

   Once incorporated into a team, the movement is quite unreliable.

  ‘Poof’

   With the slight gunshot, a puddle of mud exploded beside a metal worm, which startled the big worm and quickly burrowed into the marsh.

   "Fuck!"

  The high-level worker grinded his teeth and didn't realize it at first, but when the desert worms "knew" they were being hunted, hunting became very difficult.

  These worms will burrow into the mud pits when they are slightly frightened. The deeper the mud pits are dug, the more metal content will be, and some places are even as hard as metal.

  The excavator is useless.

   In addition to catching five on the first day, the harvest of the senior workers was decreasing every day. On the third day, it took a whole day to catch one.

   Except for a few big bugs, the harvest these days is almost zero.

   And according to his understanding, Littlefinger's harvest is not as good as his own.

   "Although I don't know why you have to catch such a big bug, your current state of mind is not suitable for work."

   Huang Yuanli, who has always been carefree, rarely got up seriously. She sat up and said seriously:

   "You take a rest first, I'll go back and ask the tribe for you to see if there is a better way to get these bugs out."

  The senior engineer took a deep breath, let the cold air with the smell of rust enter his lungs, spit it out, and then looked at each other with a surprised expression.

   "You actually care about people?"

   "Nonsense, I'm older than you," Huang Yuanli rolled her eyes. "You should call me sister."

   "By the way, this is a new flavor of lollipop, do you want to try it?"

   "New flavor, give it to me!"

   Huang Yuanli's eyes lit up and snatched the lollipop from the master's hand.

   "That's what your elder sister does?" The senior engineer gave a weird laugh, and rubbed his palms against the other's head. I have to say that with this height, kneading is quite easy.

   "Hey! I warn you! If you dare to touch my head again, I'll let bees bite your butt!"

  Huang Yuanli instantly frowned, and while her face was flushed red, she grinned fiercely at the other party.

   "Go back, it looks like that's all for today's harvest," the senior engineer stretched his waist and said, "Let's get off work early today."

   "That's right, combine work and rest, life can't be opportunistic, you're addicted to tightrope walking, and you will fall down sooner or later. This is what our professor told me."

   Along the way, in order to prove her eldest sister's demeanor, Huang Yuanli licked the lollipop and pointed at each other old-fashioned.

   "Listen to your elder sister, elder sister will cover you..."

  The senior engineer suddenly changed his face, bent down, and picked up Huang Yuanli, at full speed, in a few seconds, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and rolled into an abandoned house.

   "Mmmmm—"

   Huang Yuanli was tightly covering her mouth, thinking that the other party was beastly, and she was going to drag herself to the woods to do something, but the next moment, she didn't think so.

   He was the first to see senior workers so nervous.

   Then, her pupils suddenly widened, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The dense dust and smoke covered the sky, and the high-intensity light pollution produced by the diffusion of radiation flickered like breathing, as if facing the intense heat of the crater. Come on.

   The strong energy fluctuations make people unable to see the body of this monster at all, looking directly at it is like looking directly at the sun.

   And itself, it is a moving group of small nuclear explosions.

   The two of them gritted their teeth, and just a few seconds seemed like an hour, or even a day.

   After the 'nuclear explosion' left, Huang Yuanli had rolled her eyes, her hands and feet were trembling involuntarily, and foam was spurting out of her mouth.

  Gong Gao's expression changed, he quickly put down his backpack, took out a radiating needle from the bag, and inserted it directly into the other's neck.

  Huang Yuanli finally came to her senses, covered her mouth fiercely, climbed out of the arms of the senior engineer, found a sewer and retched.

   "Ouch, vomit—"

  Senior workers are also very uncomfortable. How should I put it, it feels like a handful of cockroaches are stuffed into clothes.

  He opens the properties panel—

  [Heavy radiation status: all attributes -50%, duration 10 days, a certain chance of causing cell aberration, serious organ damage, with anemia, disease, premature aging, etc.]

The    senior engineer shook his head and took out a radiating needle to stab himself.

   Soon, this state changed.

  [Light Radiation Status: All attributes -10%, lasts 3 days, causes mild nausea, dizziness, arrhythmia]

  Huang Yuanli finally threw up everything she could, then wiped off her sweat and stammered, "That was—"

   "At least B+, most likely A."

Whether it is B+ or A level, there is a name in the player group called boss commander, which means that this kind of monster often has a large enough genetic territory, and it leads a group of gene bosses of the same attribute in the territory. They are the largest of the S level. The difference is that the last step is not taken.

   Taking that step is to break through the limit of the second-order and reach the third-order level.

   Generally speaking, monsters above level 60 have another name, planetary monsters.

   Huang Yuanli's calf trembled and she couldn't stand up, "But, this is obviously a low-risk area."

  According to the scavengers, the general urban circle is divided into low-risk areas, medium-risk areas, and high-risk areas.

   There must be an A-level monster in the high-risk area.

   In the scavenger city, there are two recognized A-level monsters, one is the "Scarlet Queen" in the red lantern area, and the other is the "mechanical fortress" in the metal area.

   The red lantern area where the former is located is recognized as a restricted area, and the queen will shoot up the plane when it flies over.

   The latter is the source of one-third of the mechanical biochemical beasts in the scavenger city.

  If nothing else, soon, the scavenger city will be divided into a high-risk area.

   Even if the opponent is not A-rank, he must be on the verge of degeneration.

   "You should be glad that it was an A-level monster just now. In its eyes, we are ants. If it is a B-level or C-level radiation beast, I am afraid that it will attack us on the spot."

  The senior engineer sighed and said with a heavy heart: "Let's go, no matter which district will be very dangerous in the future scavenging city."

  The two were very careful on their way back to the city. They stopped and went. The senior engineer released the human head dog, and Huang Yuanli released the electronic bee. They did not continue until they were completely safe.

   Until the edge of the city, Huang Yuanli's expression relaxed, and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

   But soon her face changed again, because the electronic bee that was released came back, and she brought back an electronic bee.

  The two electronic bees danced around each other, as if they were conveying something.

  Huang Yuanli's complexion changed greatly, and she subconsciously grabbed the senior worker's arm, "No, our tribe is surrounded by monsters."

  Scavenger City is not completely surrounded by reinforced jungles. Before the mechanical war, it was a famous tourist city, retaining the oldest forest area on the planet, and after the war, the ancient forest has also become a rare restricted area.

   The off-road vehicle increased its horsepower and rushed towards the forest along the broken asphalt road.

   The road to the forest is not easy to walk, and there are potholes. Fortunately, the degree of distortion here is not high, at least not completely blocking the road.

   "Is it this direction?"

   "That's right, Electrobee said it was here."

  The senior engineer glanced at the electronic bee on the other's palm. How did the two communicate with each other, neural sensing? Alien domestication? Or bioconduction?

The trees on both sides of the    are getting taller and taller, and the branches between the trees are entangled, like two rows of high walls sitting between the sky and the earth.

  The senior engineer inexplicably thought of the word 'giant phobia'.

   Soon, the senior engineer saw a corpse on the road. The corpse's eyes were white, it was cut off in the middle, and its intestines flowed all over the place.

  The further forward, the more corpses, all of which were chopped into pieces. Some of the corpses' nerves were not completely dead, causing their hands and feet to move.

  Huang Yuanli covered her mouth fiercely.

   "Can't go forward!"

   At a bend in the highway, Gao Gong slammed on the brakes, picked up a big spy, and some equipment that Huang Yuanli had never seen before.

   In order to recover from the palm injury, Gao Gong kept fighting. Now two weeks have passed, and the previous injury has been cured.

Watching the senior engineer pull out the big knife he used for the first meeting, he opened a big hole in the tree wall with a few 'swipes'. For some unknown reason, Huang Yuanli suddenly felt a strong sense of security. .

  The two circled a road and climbed up the hill for about 100 meters, when screams and shouts came.

   "I'll go take a look."

The senior engineer flicked the steel rope claw, hooked it on a branch with the thickness of his thigh, and climbed up in three or two strokes. He repeated the technique and quickly climbed to the top of the tree. He quickly blinked his right eyelid twice, and the aiming mode was turned on. , the field of vision is continuously enlarged, through the leaves and shrubs, and positioned on the road.

   I saw more than 20 people dressed in animal skins hiding behind a makeshift shelter, holding rifles and shooting in the distance.

   And the ones at the front are particularly tall, at least two meters tall, holding steel bars and hammers. Whenever the mechanical biochemical beasts on the opposite side rush up, they will rush up and force them back.

In the back, several girls about the same height as Huang Yuanli were closing their eyes, and above them, a dozen metal sparrows were circling. Whenever the situation ahead was unstable, these sparrows charged like small fighter jets. Hit them back.

  The senior engineer opened his field of vision to the limit and finally saw the monster on the opposite side.

   Well, old acquaintance.

   By the way, should I change my name?

   Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the title of the book "Cyber: Who Is the Calamity"?
