After the Mud Crab Queen was killed, the battle was basically over.
Jiese led a group of people to begin cleanup; nearby, soone was using tools to make markings on the ground. Among the crowd, a man with glasses was using a pen to record sothing, occasionally turning his head to discuss with Jiese.
The casualties from the battle were even less than everyone expected.
It’s worth knowing that mud crabs are considered top-tier monsters in the Wasteland World food chain. If Corpse Ghosts ventured into their territory, they would be eaten. Yet surprisingly today, no one died—only a few people accidentally suffered minor injuries. The biggest credit definitely goes to Su Ziyu. Without him sniping the Mud Crab Queen, that big creature rushing in would have resulted in a massacre, directly crushing common people into minced at with its massive size.
Others began to clean the battlefield, with so wielding axes to chop at the mud crabs’ pincers.
They don’t really care for the bounty from this hunting task, but they have their own share of rewards, which is the at from these mud crabs. If fully extracted, it could be worth thousands of Bottle Caps.
"Thanks a lot for this ti." Jiese walked over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder.
He gestured to soone nearby and then handed over a crude map, saying, "I know you want to get your hands on a good weapon. Qin Yu already told ."
"I pulled so strings and got this item."
Jiese pointed to a gathering place on the map, speaking solemnly, "Here. You need to head north if you want to go to Polaris."
"This is a sowhat unique settlent called the Corpse Demon Club."
"Go look for a person nicknad ’Corpse Ghost Doctor.’ He has so weapons you’ll definitely like."
Jiese lowered his voice and said, "It’s said he has a Gauss Sniper Rifle."
"But this guy charges a high price."
Corpse Ghost Doctor?
Su Ziyu’s expression showed a hint of surprise, but upon hearing about the Gauss Sniper Rifle, he couldn’t help but feel intrigued.
The Gauss Sniper Rifle is reportedly a weapon utilizing electromagnetic energy, researched during the Cold War era with plasma technology. The Wasteland world’s Old World era developed many powerful technologies, with advancents during the Cold War still very sophisticated today. The nuclear energy tech tree was particularly advanced at that ti. This sniper rifle fires unique electromagnetic bullets, taking a few seconds to charge before firing, with remarkably impressive power and precision far exceeding other firearms. It doesn’t require calculations for wind speed, humidity, or other external factors.
However, it has its downside, being single-shot only and taking about two seconds to recharge after firing.
"Thanks." Su Ziyu extended his hand to take it.
"No need to thank." Jiese laughed softly, then whispered, "Be careful over there; that place is a bit strange. So people like to keep Corpse Ghosts for research."
"There’s soone from Chinatown over there, nicknad Mountain Cannon. You can find him in the tavern."
"Hmm."
"If he’s not dead by now."
"Give him so money, and he can be quite helpful."
Su Ziyu nodded to indicate he understood, then reached out to pick up his daughter, turning to leave with Matty. As these people began butchering and dissecting the mud crabs, the scene was rather grueso, with thick streams of dark-green fresh blood pouring out. It’s better for the two little girls not to watch.
"Hold on a second!"
"Let’s take so crab at to roast and eat!" Matty looked eager.
She used to eke out a living alone in the Elk Gathering Place; what she usually ate was undoubtedly not appealing, and now seeing the mud crab at, she suddenly felt hungry.
"Take this." Jiese carried over a crab claw that was over a ter long with a diater of fifty centiters.
The hefty weight almost caused Matty to drop it; Su Ziyu had to lend a hand, lifting it over. The Mud Crab Queen’s radiation pollution level was higher, so its at might need so processing before consumption. Over there, two or three people were already chopping at it with knives, spending several minutes just to hack off one small segnt. One person couldn’t help but grumble, "Who’s got a cutting machine?"
"Who can chop this damn thing?"
"Got an axe?"
"Find sothing heavier, damn it! Should’ve brought my chainsaw!"
The entire battle took less than a dozen minutes, yet cleaning up the mud crab corpses might not be finished until tomorrow. Thankfully, Jiese brought frozen tools along.
The convoy had cooking supplies over there.
Su Ziyu hadn’t dealt much with this before, but Jiese soon returned with a large hamr, first smashing the crab claw bit by bit. Then he started the fire to roast the at, laughing, "I once ate mud crab cake made by a chef; it tasted really good."
"But my grilled spicy crab is also delicious."
The aroma gradually spread.
The people working over there couldn’t help but feel hungry slling it, soon hauling so crab claws back to cook, filling the convoy with the scent of barbecue.
"This will probably keep us busy till tomorrow." Jiese said while roasting a crab claw: "If you guys are in a hurry, you can just take that vehicle and leave."
"That’s my car."
"There’s three large barrels of gasoline in the trunk, should be enough for your trip to Polaris."
