A trace of surprise flashed across the young woman's eyes when she saw Lucy do this.
"You're a robot?" She asked Lucy, who had taken out another battery.
"Yeah, " Lucy nodded.
"I am a second-generation intelligent robot, the best team member of the captain, " Lucy introduced herself simply.
"There's a mutant captain, plentiful food, and an intelligent robot companion... Are you an exploration team of some large gathering area?" The young woman felt that she had deduced Zhou Chen's identity.
"You can say so, " Zhou Chen, who was sunbathing on the sofa, replied lightly.
"But introduce yourself too, and why did you bring a kid to this wasteland?"
Zhou Chen felt that this young woman was a little brave. She dared to bring a young girl to live in a dilapidated house in the wasteland and even opened the door for a few strangers.
"I'm a ranger, and I was going to Paradise City with my sister to make a living, but it became a disaster area. On the way back, I encountered a few troublesome monsters that destroyed my car and had to take shelter here last night, " the young woman said slowly.
"You also came from Paradise City? Your situation is similar to ours..." Zhou Chen was surprised.
"Can you tell us about the situation in the south? How's the state of pollution over there now?"
"The situation in the south is very bad, " the young woman shook her head slightly."I heard that a terrifying monster passed by that place the day before yesterday. The level of pollution in many places has increased, and many of the gathering areas have been destroyed by the tornadoes. The situation over there is probably worse than here."
"There are no resources in this wasteland, we cannot stay here, " Zhou Chen frowned."Where do you plan to go next?"
"I'm not completely sure, " the woman replied immediately."But I will probably go take a look at the southwest. I remember there's a large gathering area there."
"Southwest? I'm going there too." Zhou Chen was not surprised. Other than southwest, the other locations were either heavily polluted or had terrifying monsters.
"Then shall we travel together?" The woman suggested with a smile."There are many monsters in the wasteland. As the saying goes, many hands make light work."
"Alright, let's set off together after we're done resting." Zhou Chen had a good impression of this woman and agreed.
The rest of the time passed peacefully.
Zhou Chen leaned on the sofa and basked in the sun. He chatted with the young woman and the little girl from time to time.
Lucy carried the firearms and dealt with a few weak monsters that approached.
The old man was resting in the room.
At noon, everyone finished resting and set off to the southwest.
An hour later.
"It's all because those damn monsters broke my car. Otherwise, it would have been much easier for us to travel." The young woman, Hilda, who was walking with her sister complained to Zhou Chen.
She had already exchanged names with Zhou Chen. She knew that Zhou Chen was called Li Xing and told him that her name was Hilda.
"Hilda, don't worry. We will have a vehicle soon." Zhou Chen looked into the distance. He had good vision and could already see a few jeeps moving toward their location.
"There is a vehicle moving here?"𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣noνℯ𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
Hilda understood Zhou Chen's meaning. She raised her left hand to shield her forehead from the sunlight. She narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, realizing that there were indeed several black dots approaching.
"I hope it's not those people, " muttering slightly, she pulled out her revolver and prepared for battle.
The few of them slowly moved for a while. The jeeps in the distance gradually became visible, but Hilda's expression was becoming increasingly serious.
"Li, they seem to be the convoys of the Wild Bandits. Let's prepare for battle. They're more dangerous than the monsters in the wasteland. Moreover, they've already discovered us, so we can't hide."
"Wild Bandits? Are they very strong? Do they have mutants?" Zhou Chen's interest was piqued.
"There should not be any mutants willing to join them..." Hilda was speechless, but she immediately threw this question to the back of her mind and hid behind a large rock with her sister.
"Li, hurry up and prepare for battle." She was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, I'm ready." Zhou Chen looked at Lucy."Lucy, it's time to show your marksmanship. Can you help me seize a jeep?"
Since there were no mutants, Zhou Chen did not want to waste his energy. He would let the hardworking Lucy help.
Although Lucy had not shown much around him, Zhou Chen knew that her strength was not something ordinary humans could compare to. After all, she was a combat-type intelligent robot.
"Captain, Lucy will definitely complete the mission!"
Hearing Zhou Chen's command, Lucy immediately took out a long rifle from her backpack and quickly charged forward, hiding behind a rock.
This rifle was originally the old man's weapon, but Zhou Chen gave it to Lucy.
A few seconds later, there were gunshots and unknown shouts in the wasteland. It was the approaching convoy displaying its might.
Lucy was calm and stable. She took aim and fired calmly. The interval between each attack was very short, and it could be said to be precise and fast.
As an intelligent robot, Lucy's marksmanship was so good that it was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend. With the help of various built-in detection equipment, she could very accurately know the trajectory of the bullets she fired. It also only took an instant to aim at the target. Therefore, as long as the gun did not have any problems and the target was within the gun's range, she would almost always be able to hit the target.
In less than ten seconds, she killed over half of the bandits in a jeep which then lost control and was moving around randomly.
The bandits in the other jeeps were frightened. When they saw that the opponent had ridiculous marksmanship, they immediately drove away.
"Hilda, your marksmanship is also pretty good." Zhou Chen praised when he saw that Hilda had also killed a bandit with her revolver.
Then, his figure flashed and charged at the out-of-control jeep, quickly entering it to control it.
