Chapter 1212
1212 The threat of the monster City _1
In the open space in the cave, Tang Zhen threw a completed crossbow gun into Morris “hands under the anticipating gazes of the abandoned people.
“Take it and familiarize yourself with it. If you don’t understand anything, ask me!”
Hearing this, Morris hurriedly nodded. Then, under Tang Zhen’s guidance, he adjusted the crossbow to a firing position and aimed at a stone as the target.
“Bang!”
As Morris aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, the sharp short crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, hitting the fist-sized rock and shattering it into several pieces!
As for the sharp crossbow arrow, it was not too damaged and could still be used after a little polishing.
This situation was enough to prove that the accuracy and lethality of the crossbow was outstanding. It was definitely a rare divine weapon for the abandoned people.
“Good fellow, this thing is really strong!”
don’t fight over it. Show me the Morris stone!
“With this thing in hand, let’s see who dares to bully us in the future!”
Seeing Morris and the others excitedly gathered together and carefully fiddling with the crossbow, Tang Zhen turned his head and continued to complete the next work.
After all five of the people participating in the operation had their weapons, Tang Zhen closed the application and then made the remaining iron ingots into simple armor and machetes for everyone to distribute.
“Everyone, get familiar with your new equipment as soon as possible. We’ll set off when the sun rises to that position!”
Uncle Jim’s face was filled with pride and confidence. Soon after, he turned his head and bowed to Tang Zhen in order to express his gratitude.
When the other abandoned people saw this, no matter what they were doing, they immediately followed Uncle Jim’s actions and expressed their gratitude to Tang Zhen.
They were extremely clear in their hearts just how precious the weapons and equipment given by Tang Zhen were in this world!
For example, even if the abandoned people obtained enough iron, they would definitely not be able to find a similar processing method to make this crossbow into an excellent killing weapon!
The process of turning an iron ingot into a crossbow was definitely not a simple change of the metal’s appearance, but a lot of special processes were added in, which could not be replicated at all.
Even if the abandoned people had modern industrial machines, the result would still be the same. This was the advantage that mobile applications could not compare to.
Of course, Tang Zhen wouldn’t specially remind the abandoned people as they didn’t understand these things. Even if they didn’t understand these things, the abandoned people would definitely treat crossbows as their lives!
After waiting for the time that Uncle Jim had set, the six of them, including Tang Zhen, immediately set off. They carried the supplies they needed for this trip and slowly advanced on the barren plains.
This was a true plain, and there was nothing blocking his view as far as the eye could see. There wasn’t even a foot-long weed.
At this moment, Uncle Jim and the others were wearing tattered and patched long robes, hoods, and goggles. They carefully hid their weapons and equipment to prevent other abandoned people from coveting them.
The purpose of their operation this time was to enter the monster City to search for seeds. Naturally, the less trouble they had, the better.
Tang Zhen walked in the middle of the group and looked at the monotonous barren land that had serious desertification. He also saw the occasional strong wind and understood why most of the abandoned people were dressed in such a manner.
Moreover, due to the deterioration of the natural environment, bad weather such as strong winds and sand could happen almost anytime and anywhere in this world. Once the sand and sand were stirred up, and the abandoned people did not have effective protection, it would definitely be difficult for them to move an inch in the wild!
After walking for a while, several teams with the same goal appeared on the boundless plain. They were separated by a distance, observing each other from a distance but not invading each other.
Similar to the fight for the trash on the trash mountain, the abandoned people had entered a state of competition again. There were limited special plants in a Monster City, and the opportunity to bring out the seeds of the plants from the monster City required some good luck. Therefore, it was common for the abandoned people to fight over the seeds.
This was a matter of life and death, so the abandoned people would naturally be on guard and treat everyone as their opponents.
Jim, how much do you know about the monster City we’re heading to this time? ”
Tang Zhen turned his head to look at Uncle Jim beside him and asked with a slightly curious tone.
Uncle Jim was checking the bag that contained the crossbow gun with a cherishing expression on his face. He was sure that it was tied tightly and sand would not get in.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, he immediately said in a low voice, we call the monster City the mushroom garden because there are many strange buildings that look like mushrooms. They are of different colors and sizes.
The monster City was full of all kinds of dangers, and there were mechanical guards of different forms. One could lose their life if they were not careful.
When I was still a child, this Monster City had already existed, but it was not very large at that time. As long as we entered the highest point of the monster City, we could see every corner of the city clearly.
at that time, we will cooperate with each other and use a special signal to transmit information. This way, we can avoid the mechanical guards of the monster City and leave safely after obtaining the plant seeds!
The mechanical Guardian will never leave the monster City, so as long as we escape to the outside, we can guarantee that we will not suffer any damage!”
At this point, Uncle Jim had a reminiscing look on his face, then he shook his head gently.
“In the past few years, although there were always Wars, we often found useful items in the ruins. There were also many edible plants and animals!
However, as time passed, survival became more and more difficult. There were no longer any usable resources in the ruins, and the number of animals and plants decreased sharply. The abandoned people also gradually moved closer to the garbage mountain from their original state of living everywhere.
relying on the laughable charity of the citizens and other scarce food sources, we barely managed to survive.
The monster City was also expanding at a terrifying speed. In less than ten years, when I climbed up the buildings I had climbed before, I found that I could no longer see the edge of the monster City!
especially in the past few years, the speed of the monster city’s expansion has been getting faster and faster. The plains where it was originally located could no longer accommodate it. Now, it is spreading in the direction where we live.
I’m really worried that after a few years, there might not be a place for the abandoned people to stay in this land!”
At this point, Uncle Jim let out a long sigh. His eyes were filled with endless worry. The difficulties of life made him look very old, like an old man in his 50s or 60s.
Morris had been listening quietly from the side. When he saw Uncle Jim’s appearance, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder to express his concern.
After his parents went to the monster City and never returned, Uncle Jim, who he had accidentally picked up, took the initiative to take care of the young and led his companions to survive.
He treated Morris as his own son and took care of his other companions, so he was quickly recognized by the group and elected as the leader of the group.
To the abandoned people, being the leader of a group did not mean power, but more effort and labor.
Uncle Jim, who wasn’t too selfish, was obviously suitable for such a role, and he didn’t disappoint his companions.
