Cherreads

Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Attack

At this time, Mekin, Zach, and Sham also searched for supplies separately in the room, deliberately avoiding the two corpses on the ground. Although they knew that these two corpses were already dead, that was exactly why they were afraid.

 

After searching around, Mekin and the other two found some metal items. Although they didn't know the functions of these items, in their values, as long as it was a metal item, it must be valuable.

 

Dudian saw the mobile phone, TV remote control, electric lamp, and other things they had picked up. He couldn't help but wonder that scavengers should have found a lot of such things. Why hadn't the various consortiums researched anything from them?

 

However, when he saw the twisted metal on the back of the mobile phone, he immediately understood that three hundred years in this radiation area were completely different from three hundred years in a normal ecological environment. Although these items were still there, they had long been distorted under the accumulation of nuclear radiation day by day, and the parts were completely deformed. If one didn't know their original uses, it was simply impossible to infer useful information from these twisted parts.

 

The only things that could resist nuclear radiation were high-density metals such as lead and gold, which was why the gold ornaments in the counter below hadn't changed much.

 

"Let's go to the next room." After Dudian swept a glance around and didn't see anything of value, he turned and left this room. This was the advantage of scavenging in a newly cleared area. Not only were the things picked up of high value, but there was also room for selection. For the rooms they had seen today, other scavengers would surely come to search them in the future, but they could only pick up some fabrics and clothes, or disassemble the metal from large items like beds and refrigerators.

 

Mekin and the other two had long wanted to leave this room with corpses and immediately retreated.

 

Several walking corpses lay quietly in the corridor, and it was extremely quiet.

 

Dudian looked at these walking corpses and always felt that they might suddenly wake up. His heart was pounding. He suppressed his wild thoughts and pushed open the door of the second room. As expected, there were also several walking corpses lying in this room. Judging from their short-sleeved clothes, they were obviously people from three hundred years ago. This made Dudian have to confirm one thing: when the global nuclear bombs exploded three hundred years ago, a terrifying viral disaster also broke out quietly!

 

This unknown virus turned all the infected people into terrifying Undead Walking Corpses. Even after staying in the nuclear radiation area for three hundred years, they hadn't died, which showed how terrifying and tenacious the virus in their bodies was!

 

Dudian bypassed the three walking corpses on the ground and searched for things in the room. He mainly looked for electrical appliances like computers and mobile phones. After all, in such a residential house, these were the only things with utilization value.

 

There was a desktop computer in this room. Naturally, Dudian wouldn't carry the entire desktop computer back. He disassembled the machine. The power box and some of the wires inside were covered with dust. When he saw the power box, he had an idea. Just as he was about to disassemble it, unexpectedly, when his palm touched the power box, it was like touching a layer of thin paper, and he easily poked into the power box.

 

The power box had completely deteriorated under the long-term nuclear radiation.

 

Dudian sighed and examined the other wires. The plastic outside these wires was twisted and swollen. Some of the small resistors on the motherboard inside were shriveled, and some had swollen into strange shapes, losing their original appearance under the nuclear radiation.

 

Dudian shook his head slightly and gave up on this machine. After all, today was just the first day of scavenging, and there were still nine days left. There were many things he could pick up, but the things he could carry were very limited.

 

"If only I had a truck, I could load as much as I wanted..." Such an idea suddenly flashed through Dudian's mind, and he was immediately excited. But soon he became discouraged. The scrapped cars outside were obviously similar to this computer. Many parts had already deteriorated or deformed and couldn't be repaired. To create a mechanical means of transportation, he still had to rely on a super chip.

 

And the prerequisite for all of this was... having electricity!

 

Dudian turned around and continued to search for other things. He only knew one method of making a generator, which was a wind turbine generator. To make a wind turbine generator, first, an open field was needed. Even if he went to the slum area to buy such a piece of land, it would require a lot of money. So he still had to have money first.

 

When Dudian and the others were searching the third room, other people also gradually went up to the third floor and searched around.

 

Half an hour later, this building was completely ransacked, and the goods that each person had searched for were piled up in the hall on the first floor. Everyone registered with Scott to prevent confusion and also to prevent others from stealing.

 

Apparently, in the long history of scavenging, scavengers had already understood that eliminating internal strife was the only way to obtain the greatest benefits.

 

"Next, everyone, go and search around," Scott said to everyone after finishing the registration.

 

The twenty scavengers from the consortium couldn't wait any longer. They immediately formed groups of four or five and left the store to search for supplies in the nearby ruins.

 

Scott glanced at Dudian and said, "Mia and I are also going to search for supplies. Do you want to come with us?"

 

Dudian shook his head and said, "No, I'll go with my friends."

 

"All right. Call for help if there's any danger. It's very quiet here, and basically, everyone can hear it. Just don't go too far," Scott didn't force him and gave a reminder.

 

Dudian nodded, turned around, and called out to Mekin, Zach, and Sham. They walked along the street and started searching in the nearby dilapidated buildings.

 

Since he knew these shops, Dudian basically didn't need to go in to know roughly what could be searched for in some ruins. Instead of searching each building one by one like others, he walked along the street and soon found a small and medium-sized supermarket.

 

The supermarket was covered with vegetation, but it could still be identified as a supermarket from its style. It was just that it was unknown what disaster it had suffered. The supermarket had collapsed from the middle, and there were also several corpses of walking corpses lying on the ground at the entrance, with injuries that had been inflicted not long ago.

 

"So many walking corpses..." Mekin and the other two looked a bit pale when they saw the corpses on the ground. They had just arrived in this Area 8, and the corpses of walking corpses could be seen everywhere. They couldn't help but wonder what kind of scene the hunters had faced when they first came here.

 

Dudian was also a bit scared, but he still remained calm. He walked into the supermarket through the door that seemed to have been kicked open by the hunters who had come here before. Immediately, he saw the corpses of walking corpses all over the ground inside. At the same time, low and continuous gnawing sounds came, and there seemed to be seven or eight red spots in the darkness!

 

"Mutated monsters!" Dudian's pupils shrank, and he quickly stepped back.

 

As he stepped back, with a swoosh, a gray shadow flashed out rapidly from the door and pounced towards Dudian.
