Chapter 10: Hawkeye's return
Half a month later, Kudama began to build his castle on Buith Street, all the people in the hermit's jurisdiction need to provide money and labor for the hermit for free, the hermit also expands its members, hires overseers, and the civilians who resist are directly shot, and everyone dares to be angry.
As for the thirty or so members of the original hermit who were in exile, some died tragically in the process of being hunted down, some died after the failed assassination of Kudama, and some of them quietly hid until the time came.
···
It took 10 days for Nightsong to reach the edge of the Dead Realm, and a little further away, you could see the lush vegetation.
Due to the influence of the black fog, Nightsong was unable to identify the direction, and was lost in the dead realm many times, using all his strength to get from the present.
However, fortunately, there is no danger in the Dead Realm except for black fog and wind and sand, and Nightsong's gray and white energy can block the attacks of the two, so Nightsong has been able to get to this point, and if it were someone else, it would have turned into a pile of white bones long ago.
Nightsong's fasting and exhaustion disappeared after absorbing the black and white light ball, but as the gray and white energy was consumed little by little, Nightsong began to feel tired and hungry.
"It's finally out. ”
Yeming walked out of the dead realm shrouded in black mist, and the spiritual power on his body also increased a little, but the gray energy did not change.
He hurried to a nearby water source, drank a refreshing sip of the stream, and then bathed in the lake, put on shabby clothes, caught a few hares from the forest, set up a campfire, and ate them with great pleasure.
The sun gradually set, and after a full meal, Yeming rested for a while, and woke up feeling that the tiredness of his whole body was swept away.
He mobilized the spiritual power around him, and saw that the gray and white energy was greatly opened, which was a little stronger than when he was in the Dead Domain.
Nightsong is now in a desperate situation, a blessing in disguise, he looked at the magical power in his body, and recalled the scene of Tazhuo's torture and murder in his mind, and his heart sank.
"Hester, and the traitor who betrayed the hermit, I'm back for revenge!"
Nightsong remembers the psyker named Hester, but another concern comes to Nightsong's mind.
"Dad, Grandpa Yeshao, and everyone, don't have an accident..."
Like a cheetah, Nightsong ran towards the forest out.
It was already dark, the moon was slowly appearing, and Nightsong had arrived at the human settlement.
Nightshade captures two wild boars, forcibly changes clothes with the owner of a clothing store, and asks him for a lot of information.
It's still Soul Street, but it's far from Zone B, where Nightsong is located is Zone Z, at the very end of Soul Street, and Zone B is at the forefront.
According to Yeming's calculations, half a month has passed since he was attacked. In other words, the wedding of Night Rain and Kudama ended ten days ago, and he regretted that he could not be in time to make it to the scene to send his blessings to the beautiful and gentle sister of Yuyu.
Nightsong asks the shopkeeper about the recent events in Wandering Soul Street, and then the shopkeeper tells Nightsong about the bloody wedding, and Nightsong is almost stunned.
"It was so tragic that more than 40 heads were cut off and stuck in the street with bamboo poles, and I heard that these people were his relatives, and he also killed his father and his wife who was about to get married.
Now Area B has completely changed, in the past, when Brad was still there, the hermit's place did not have to be taxed, he would not be forced to labor, and he could seek the protection of the hermit in trouble, and the hermit would make a fair judgment.
In times of disaster, the hermits also give relief to civilians, and if I hadn't been controlled by the local gangs, I would have moved to Area B.
However, since Kudama became the leader, Area B has become a hell, and all the people are controlled by Kudama, who must contribute money and food to the hermit and provide labor for the hermit for free, and those who are crippled and unable to work are massacred by the hermit on a large scale, leaving only the labor force that can bring benefits to the hermit.
Kudama is now recruiting troops, building castles, and making weapons in Wandering Soul Street, and all the civilians have become his slaves......"
On the one hand, the shopkeeper lamented the changes in Area B, feeling sorry for the fate of those civilians and the misfortune of those who were killed, and on the other hand, he secretly felt glad that he was not born in Area B, although Area Z was also oppressed and exploited by the gangs, but it was better than the purgatory in Area B.
But these words were a completely different feeling in Yeming's ears.
At this time, Yeming trembled, his eyes were cold, and his hands were bleeding from his own grip, like a beast that was about to explode at any time.
When the shopkeeper saw Yeming's expression, he immediately stopped talking, and his body slowly took a few steps back, because Yeming looked weird at this time, and he was shocked, could it be that this person was here to kill people and rob the store?
But Ye Ming closed his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he immediately returned to his previous calm, but his eyes still carried the sharpness and murderous aura that saw through people's hearts.
He recalled what the shopkeeper had just said, and more than twenty members of the hermit were on the run, and Yeming adjusted his breath to calm himself.
The first thing he thought to himself was to make peace with those brothers and sisters, on the one hand, to learn more about the situation, and on the other hand, to reduce meaningless sacrifices.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any news of the Runaway Hermit members here?"
"Of course, after Kudama killed the members of the hermit who opposed him, he cut off his head and stuck it in the main square of Bouith Street, calling it the 'Rebel Forest'.
Almost every day, people tried to take the heads, but Kudama set up an ambush around them, and those who wanted to take the heads were cut off and planted in the clearing, and it is said that there were now more than 60 heads. ”
Yeming was silent for a while, and at this moment he was at peace, not letting anger get carried away, nor letting despair and hatred occupy his heart, he just thought quietly.
The hermits are all orphans who have been adopted by Daddy Brad, they are all relatives, and no one wants to see their relatives be humiliated after their tragic death, even if they risk their lives, they must take back their heads and let their relatives rest in peace.
And the cunning Kudama took advantage of this, wanting to slowly eliminate the members of the original hermit who had escaped and rebelled against him.
Yeming didn't think much about it, but immediately tidied up his clothes, pinned the "wheel of fortune" to his waist, and left the clothing store.
Afterwards, Nightshade infiltrates the arsenal of the largest gang in Area Z and steals five of the best sniper rifles, as well as new pistols, smoke grenades, new grenades, miniature bombs, binoculars, daggers, and silk weapons.
A day later, the Z Gang discovered that the armory had been stolen, but there was no clue.
