Power Armor

Section 4 Preparation

The room fell silent. Both of them pondered their own thoughts. After a while, Li'er stood up silently, walked aside and started eating.

Her food is different from Xuetong's. It's all left over from Xuetong's eating. Or the more heavily polluted ones in that pile of food. In this catastrophic world, no one is qualified to be picky. This is already the best result. Pushing open the door in front of you, countless people in the sewer are still struggling with hunger. Waiting impatiently for Li'er to throw some bone crumbs.

Seeing Li'er struggling to bite the hard food, a rare tenderness flashed in Xuetong's eyes.

"Maybe, we should leave here."

"What did you say?" Lier raised her head. Show vigilant eyes.

"It's too dangerous. The outside world is full of pollution. Although it is very difficult here, we can at least survive. The water circulation system in the shelter can also provide us with water for survival. If we leave here, even if there is no pollution and Death winds, we too will starve and thirst. And..."

Lier bit her lip. "I heard that there are mutant creatures everywhere outside, and there are many robbers. We can't survive in the wild."

"I know all of this..." Xuetong sighed. "I went out once... you know, I almost died outside that time."

"Then you still want to leave?"

"Because I don't want to stay here anymore. I've had enough of this kind of life." Xuetong raised his head, his eyes under the messy hair became more and more confused, "No matter how many dangers there are outside, it's better than waiting to die in this dark sewer Much better. No matter how hard we try here, we can only eat the most garbage food and drink barely filtered muddy water. Lier, my body can no longer accept such resources. I need higher-level food and Drink water. Otherwise I won't gain any more power. And..."

"I know that the water circulation system in the ruins is broken."

"You know everything?" Li'er opened her eyes wide in surprise. A trace of fear could not help but emerge in my heart.

He, he already knew... So, does he have to leave? get out of here, get out of me...

Actually... I should have known a long time ago. How could a man like him be trapped in such a dirty ruin, waiting to die with all the desperate people? He is an eagle, and an eagle always flies to the blue sky... This place is too small to let go of his ambition. From the moment I saw him for the first time, I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Being able to live with me in this dark ruin for so long, God has already treated me well enough.

But...my...my heart...why does it hurt so much...

Growing up with the man in front of me since I was a child, I have already forgotten how to live independently. If I leave him, maybe I will die the next moment, right?

Li'er's complexion changed several times in an instant. In the end, he still put on a gentle smile. Putting down the food in her hands, she walked behind Xuetong. A pair of soft and slender fingers gently touched each other's shoulders and began to knead.

"So, you have already decided..."

"..." Xuetong didn't speak, but the confusion in his pupils became heavier, as if shrouded in a cloud of mist. "I'll take you away, Lier."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lier agreed very simply, her beautiful eyes full of charm. Unknowingly, his fingers came to Xuetong's chest, and he gently kneaded it. Soon, as she wished, she heard Xue Tong's breath heavy.

The room is very simple, but it can't hide a trace of spring. Lier soon turned into a snake, a beautiful snake full of wild temptation. The few clothes on his body disappeared in a blink of an eye. Smooth skin is like satin. If it weren't for the purple spots on many places, Lier's skin would be enough to make any man arouse.

Li'er knows how to seduce a man's desire. With Xuetong's heavy breathing, she gently stretched out her little tongue, and licked Xuetong's whole body little by little. His eyes were so charming that water dripped out, and there were faint groans from his mouth. A pair of slender thighs were tightly attached to Xue Tong's body, sliding slowly. Following her movements, a little bit of stimulation was transmitted from Xuetong's nerve endings, causing Xuetong's body to tremble slightly.

Li'er believes in her own capital, she knows that she has an excellent figure. Especially the hip line is extremely beautiful, and many men were willing to give her food in order to satisfy their dark desires. But today, everything is just for the man in front of him.

The breath became heavier. Li'er knew Xuetong's feeling, and suddenly smiled charmingly at him, and her whole body slid down. Afterwards, Xuetong felt that her thick body had entered a warm and narrow place.

"En." Xuetong took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, picked up Li'er, and threw her to the crude wooden bed not far away.

"Hee hee." Lier giggled. She stuck out her little tongue and licked the bright side of her lips, her eyes were full of spring that couldn't be concealed. "After dinner... are you going to... eat someone else?"

Xuetong didn't speak, but rushed forward. Soon, criminal groans resounded in the room.

...

Life in the shelter is hopeless, and no one relaxes. Xuetong left the residence early the next morning. He is very busy and will have a lot of preparations to do in the next three days if his plan is to come true.

The time to leave the refuge was arranged by him before the next high fever. Based on how itchy his underarms were, he reckoned that 'it' in himself would strike within three days. Get yourself into a high fever. During this time he was extremely weak. Even a child could easily kill him. According to Xuetong's observation, during this period of time, shelter 27 has become more and more restless, and some outsiders seem to be eyeing this place. If you can't leave as soon as possible, you may lose your life in the ensuing conflict.

So I have to leave here, before I completely lose my fighting power.

In fact, this kind of attack is not as terrible as imagined. Judging from the experience of the previous attack, although Xuetong would be very painful during the process, after the end, it was the time when Xuetong's body began to strengthen. So Xuetong boldly guessed that this kind of attack is not harmful, but to strengthen his own needs.

After leaving the residence, Xuetong first came to the black market in the refuge. The predecessor of Vault 27 was a city, which was very large. There were already many figures shaking on the ground. These disheveled civilians wandered in every corner of the ruins, trying to find a little bit of legacy from the pre-civilization era. Compared with food, these things left by the former civilization are also very valuable. There was once a rumor that a commoner picked up a usable weapon and became rich overnight.

Of course, there are not many lucky ones like that. Most civilians can only find some metals that are not very corroded and some garbage. Although these things are valuable, they don't fill their stomachs.

And if there is any place in the refuge that can be called lively. Then there is only the black market.

The black market here is not a black market in the superficial sense. It is not illegal. In fact, there are basically no laws in this world. It is called a black market because of its chaos and disorder. This is a place that only recognizes money, as long as you have money, you can buy basically anything. Of course, the 'money' here is not currency in the general sense, but rare metals such as gold, and some very rare minerals. Here, precious metals and ores, as well as weapons left by previous civilizations, can be used as currency. And the goods provided by the black market are even more dazzling, almost everything. As small as food, slaves, as large as weapons, vehicles. Almost nothing is unavailable.

Even though Xuetong was in Shelter 27, he could barely fill his stomach. But here he was clearly not qualified to hang out. Most of the people who can spend here are bandits. They trade their respective harvests on the black market.

Fortunately, Xuetong also has some savings. In addition to food, he also accumulated some ore, these are the trophies he killed other predators. In this apocalyptic world, the best way to avoid being eaten by wolves is to become a wolf. Xuetong obviously also got the three flavors. But he is more afraid of the bandits here. Because the bandits have too many weapons, although most of them are self-made mechanism crossbows.

Don't underestimate this kind of weapon. In this last days, firearms are not uncommon. But it needs strong strength to be armed. And the price of bullets is not cheap. The price of a clip of bullets is enough to feed anyone for a month. And the mechanism crossbow is much better. This self-made crossbow was improved, and its penetration power was enough to pierce mutant scales within fifty meters. There is also a twenty-shot arrow clip. A bandit group with this kind of weapon can be called powerful.

Xuetong once walked out of the refuge, and knows how dangerous the outside world is. These mechanism crossbows are only said to be pediatrics. So if he wants to survive outside, he must collect enough weapons and a considerable number of survival items.
