“Lend me the binoculars.”
After the young man expressed his opinion, Zhou Chen borrowed the binoculars and observed it for a while.
He realized that the native living area looked rather rough. There was a large iron fence surrounding it, and in the middle were some houses built messily. Some were made of iron sheets, some were made of wood, and some were modified containers. At the gate in the middle of the iron fence, two white men in tattered clothes were holding rifles and smoking while chatting. Occasionally, they would glance at Zhou Chen’s direction.
“I’ll go talk to them.” After observing, Zhou Chen returned the binoculars to the young man and prepared to go over.
“It might be better to look for a chance to climb over the fence and enter. If their attitude is unfriendly, you will be in danger,” the young man frowned slightly and expressed his objection.
“It’s okay. I’ll be careful,” Zhou Chen did not care too much and walked straight over.
The reason why he dared to face the two natives with firearms was partly because he felt that the other party might not attack him, and partly because he was confident in his skills and physical toughness.
With his current physique, he could directly ignore the attacks of small-caliber firearms, and should be able to endure the attacks of medium-caliber firearms. Of course, this was based on the premise that the other party could hit him.
Since Zhou Chen was so insistent, the young man did not persuade him anymore. He hid behind a trash pile on the side and said that he would provide fire support to Zhou Chen if an accident occurred.
Zhou Chen did not care about this. It was just two natives with guns who had mediocre life force in his Bloodthirst perception. They were not worthy of his attention.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen crossed the wasteland and arrived near the iron fence. From about 50 meters away, he looked at the two tattered-clothed guards who had stopped chatting and were pointing guns at him. He shouted in the local language, “Hello! I am from…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before Zhou Chen could finish speaking, one of the guards responded with the gun in his hand. However, he did not shoot at Zhou Chen, but instead fired at the ground to warn him.
“The two of you, get lost! We don’t welcome unidentified people here!” After the warning, the guard in tattered clothes shouted at Zhou Chen fiercely, clearly refusing to welcome him.
“Their vision is so good? They noticed us earlier?”
Zhou Chen thought to himself as he slowly retreated. However, he quickly saw something from the two people who were still staring at him.
One of their eyeballs showed an abnormal luster. It was clearly not a real eye but something like an artificial eye.
“They discovered us through gadgets?” Zhou Chen immediately understood.
After a while, he returned to the trash pile where the young man was hiding and told him about his encounter.
“Are the natives so xenophobic?” the young man’s expression turned heavy. “But we need to contact the natives and understand the basic situation of this world. We also need to exchange for supplies from them.”
“Why don’t we join forces and kill all these natives?” Zhou Chen also knew that it was difficult to survive in this wasteland-like world, so he wanted to kill a group of natives and obtain some supplies.
“No! There are only two of us. Their firepower is not weak, and the risk is too high!” The young man immediately refused. It was obvious that he was a cautious person.
“That’s true. Then let’s kidnap a native to scout for information,” Zhou Chen looked at him and smiled.
“You… sure…” The young man was instantly speechless. He felt that Zhou Chen was playing with words.
“Then let’s hide further away and wait for some people to come out of the residential area.” Zhou Chen believed that it was impossible for everyone in this native settlement to stay inside all the time. There had to be people who had to go out to handle various matters.
“Alright, this is the only way to obtain information.” The young man was not used to doing such things. His expression was slightly complicated.
They then hid separately far away from the iron fence. There were many traces of vehicles moving near these two places; clearly, the natives used these paths often.
They waited for more than half a day. Because the young man had brought a lot of water and food in his inventory and had given a portion to Zhou Chen, the two of them were very patient.
‘The people of the Administration are really rich in resources. I’ve done Survival missions so many times, but I only have a stick of sugar coated haws as my food.’
At this moment, Zhou Chen was hiding behind a smelly trash pile while eating the biscuit in his hand. This was given to him by the young man. It was marked by the system, so he could eat it without worrying about it being poisonous.
“Are these natives really homebodies? It’s almost night, but not even one has come out.”
Zhou Chen was speechless. His plan of waiting for the prey had already consumed most of the day, but he got nothing other than the stench of the trash.
Just as he was thinking if he should change his plan, there was a movement in the high trash pile beside him, making him subconsciously turn his head.
A blond young girl’s head suddenly emerged from the trash pile!
No, it was the head of a blond android!
Through the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen could determine that although it looked like a human, the flesh on its face was fake. Otherwise, he would have noticed it long ago.
“This is…” After the blond gynoid’s head emerged from the trash, her eyes that were similar to real people’s revealed a dazed expression as she observed her surroundings.
Then, she saw a young man who was eating a biscuit walk up to her and smile at her, “Miss Android, do you need help?”
This was the first time Zhou Chen had seen an android with a head that looked so much like a human’s. The only awkward thing was the place where the android emerged from.
“Are you… Sir Commander? Please help Lucy! Lucy can’t move!” The confusion in the blond gynoid’s eyes quickly dissipated, and she seemed to be a little excited.
‘This android is made really well. Its expression is completely like that of a human’s,’ Zhou Chen was surprised. “Alright, I’ll fish you out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen, who had silently activated the Shield passive skill, reached out to pull the blond gynoid’s head.
During this process, he was highly focused and on guard against the gynoid.
However, the gynoid did not make any unnecessary moves. When Zhou Chen pulled her out of the trash pile, he realized that apart from her head, only a small half of her body was left.. Everything below her chest had disappeared, and a large number of wires and circuit boards were dangling below.
