Chapter 981: Despair, Hope, and Despair
North Sen continent, United States, Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, the world-famous 'casino' in the old days!
Today, in Las Vegas, there is no one gambling at all.
In addition to being a 'gambling city', Las Vegas also has one of the biggest features, that is, its entire city is a city built in the desert and the Gobi!
In addition, there is a small oasis in the interior of the city, which can provide water for residents.
After the sea beasts invaded the rice country, this former gambling city became a refuge for people to frantically pour in!
The small city of Las Vegas used to have a population of only about 500,000, but in just a few days, it has poured into more than 20 million people!
What was once a spacious, bright and clean city has become like a refugee camp in an instant!
The frenzied influx of huge populations has brought about a rapid collapse of resources such as drinking water and food.
The water in the oasis in the city is completely unable to supply 20 million people!
The food is also quickly depleted!
The space is also getting crowded!
This situation has been going on for several days, and it can be said that Las Vegas has long since become a city of refugees instead of the gambling city where the rich spent a lot of money in the past, or a tourist attraction for tourists!
A city of refugees with little food and clothing, and no water.
However, no one dared to leave here!
Instead of people leaving, there is a steady stream of people fleeing from the outside world.
Compared with the outside world, although it is extremely crowded, although there is no food and no water, but because the whole city is in the desert Gobi, it is safe!
Because the entire city is surrounded by desert and Gobi without a drop of water, the sea beasts cannot enter, and this is probably one of the safest places in the whole country!
Jack is a transcendent.
Unlike the transcendents who were activated and transformed by Dr. Valen, he was a transcendent who naturally awakened supernatural abilities.
And because he couldn't get used to what the Transcendent Alliance did, he didn't join the Transcendent Alliance.
His strength is very weak, according to the evaluation of the Transcendent Alliance, he is only a B-level transcendent, which is probably equivalent to a grandmaster in the martial arts world.
Now, this is not the era when grandmasters are like dragons.
Grandmaster, in the eyes of the strong, has become synonymous with the weak!
In this war with the sea beast, Jack will be able to deal with the lone sea beast.
Once he encounters two or three sea beasts together, he must run, otherwise, he will become a ration in the mouth of the sea beast like an ordinary person!
As a last resort, he and everyone hid in Las Vegas City in the desert.
And the pursuing sea beasts surrounded the entire city of Las Vegas.
Jack's supernatural ability is fire.
In the desert city of Las Vegas, this supernatural ability is useless!
Here, the most useful transcendent ability is the water supernatural ability!
He knew a transcendent named Vitas, a C-class transcendent who was even weaker than him, but because of his water-based transcendent ability, he was now living an emperor-like life!
Vitas' water supernatural ability to condense water balls from the air out of thin air!
Of course, he can't condense water indefinitely.
His extraordinary ability is only C-level, and even if he exhausts his physical strength, the water that can be condensed is extremely limited.
Only enough for a very small number of people!
In order to get a little water from him, countless people rushed to please him!
For half a bottle of water, the most beautiful woman in Las Vegas in the past, willingly came to his door to provide him with any service!
For half a bottle of water, those rich people who had just been on the top in the past willingly bent down in front of him!
For the sake of half a bottle of water, even those who are much stronger have to bow their eyebrows in front of him, respectfully!
In fact, even Jack, who was already thirsty at this time, couldn't stand it, and was considering whether to go to Vitas, hoping that Vitas could share a little water with him for the sake of his previous acquaintance.
Jack felt like fire was about to erupt in his throat!
He felt that even if he didn't use his extraordinary abilities, he would be able to breathe fire out of his mouth!
As an extraordinary person, Jack's ability to resist water shortage is actually far beyond that of ordinary people.
The entire city of Las Vegas is already full of people who are desperately short of water and dying!
"Water...... Water ......"
"Help...... Who can ...... Give me some water......"
"Sir...... Do you have water? Just a sip of water, just a sip of water, and my people will be yours! You can do whatever you want with me!"
"Kid...... Come, this is mother's blood, and if there is no water, you can drink mother's blood......"
On the streets, people are lying in despair.
After all, there are only a few transcendents like Vitas who can condense water from the air!
Even those who can surround people like Vitas and exchange their wealth, body, etc., for water, are only a handful of people!
Today, Las Vegas has more than 20 million people!
The vast majority of these 20 million people are just desperate ordinary people who are dying in extreme water shortage, closing their eyes and waiting to die!
Thump!
Jack walked down the street, his body went limp, and he lay on his back on the ground.
"I'm a B-class transcendent myself, so I'd better fight those sea beasts than die of lack of water......!" Without water, I don't even have the strength to walk out of the desert outside the city and in front of those sea beasts outside!"
Jack closed his eyes in despair.
Let's go!
Suddenly, he felt a drop of cool fall on his face.
It ran down his cheek and into the corners of his mouth.
Water?
Is it raining?
