Chapter 34: Start Today!
The sky was overcast, and the heavy lead clouds were heavy, blocking all sunlight.
In the open wilderness, six rusty, roofless, patched SUVs, with various skeletons hanging from them, formed a long line of rapid driving amid the roar of engines, and a long cloud of smoke rolled up on the road.
In almost every car, there were seven or eight prisoners, sitting or standing, who roared like wild beasts in the wind, full of a morbid excitement and madness.
In the most intact and space-packed off-road vehicle, in the back seat, General Blood crossed his arms to his chest and closed his eyes to recuperate. And beside him, Tie Shan seemed to want to say something several times, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
"Tie Shan, you have been following me for a long time, don't you even dare to speak?"
In the roar and jolting, the blood general opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"Do you think that I treated Chen Chong very favorably, because he poured some ecstasy soup?"
Tie Shan sneered, "How could the general be confused by him. I'm just a little weird. ”
General Blood turned his head to look at the rapidly receding expanse outside the car window, and said with a low smile: "This kid has indeed brought me a lot of surprises. Iron Mountain, it stands to reason that you and I have been with me for so long and are fully qualified to know the situation, but the stakes are very high, so let's wait until we return to the territory to elaborate. ”
Tie Shan was slightly startled, he didn't expect the Blood General to be so cautious, and couldn't help but say:
"Since this matter is so important, then that kid ......"
"That kid is a smart man, and he is ambitious, and he won't do anything stupid, and he doesn't dare. ”
Recalling Chen Chong's appearance in the face of himself who was neither humble nor arrogant, General Blood looked playful:
"The Blood Line Gu has just been consumed, and I have to re-nourish it with my heart's blood, so I can't use it for the time being. He seems to be a beginner, and he has some cultivation value, but unfortunately he is still too weak. Watch him for a while, wait until this matter is over, and if he's still alive, give him another one......"
Tie Shan smiled and said, "I think this kid will be grateful to the general by then." ”
......
Chen Chong naturally didn't know about the conversation between General Blood and Tie Shan in the leading vehicle, and at this moment he squeezed into the back seat of the second off-road vehicle, playing with the tactical knife that had been retrieved in his hand.
The minions in the car were still a little wary of Chen Chong because of the change in General Blood last night, or they didn't want to cause trouble, so no one took the initiative to talk to him, because of last night's vigil, their eyelids were fighting and they were drowsy.
Ignoring the murderer beside him, Chen Chong stared through the car window at the sky that seemed to never see the sun.
"Such a thick cloud...... Is it because of the nuclear winter?"
Now he already knows that the world has become like this because of the cataclysm and the global nuclear explosion, and he can't help but associate it.
As soon as dawn dawned, he followed the Blood General and a group of minions to the Crimson Territory a hundred kilometers to the northwest, while the eight scavengers from the Dawn Gathering Place were crammed into several cars behind him.
As for Qiao Jun, the leader of the scavengers, he disappeared after dawn, and he should have been put back by the Blood General to serve as a hidden nail in the Dawn Gathering Place.
At the beginning, they encountered several waves of wolf-type radiant in pursuit, but after the murderers on the car continued to shoot wildly, these groups of wolf-type radiant species dropped a few corpses and retreated in a hurry.
"Sure enough, the strength has not reached a certain level, and the strength of the team is much stronger than the individual. ”
Chen Chong, who saw this scene in the car, couldn't help but sigh. In a situation like the one just now, if he was alone on foot in the wilderness and wasteland, encountering these hordes of radiant species, nine times out of ten, it would directly become their stomach. However, these subordinates of the Blood General relied on the convenience of vehicles and ferocious firepower, but they were able to avoid these radiation species without any damage.
"It seems that the places where the agglomerations are established should be areas where there is a small distribution of radiating species and there are no strong radiating species. ”
As the convoy advanced, there were fewer and fewer radiation species encountered on the way, and a thought rose in Chen Chong's heart.
The ruins are located about a hundred kilometers away from the Blood General's Crimson Territory. Eighteen years after the cataclysm, most of the wilderness around the gathering place has been swept by scavengers, and the closer it is to the gathering place, the safer the wilderness.
Just as Chen Chong was thinking, the minions who were driving suddenly let out cheers:
"It's almost there!it, Lao Tzu is back alive again, haha!"
Chen Chong's heart moved, and he immediately poked his head out of the car window and looked ahead.
At the end of the line of sight, a ruined area had appeared, and among the ruins, there seemed to be intact architectural outlines faintly revealed, and a few chimneys that were neither tall nor low could be seen spewing pitch-black smoke.
The Crimson Territory of the Blood General has arrived!
Chen Chong's heart moved slightly. As the convoy moved a few kilometers further, the town-like crimson territory was already in sight, and Chen Chong realized that the ruins he saw when he looked at it from a distance were actually rudimentary bunkers made of ruins and broken walls, and deep trenches had been dug into the ground, surrounding the entire town.
And the entire Crimson Territory, as if it was a miniature town built in ruins, was not much bigger than a school in Chen Chong's eyes. The rudimentary fence of nearly two meters towered high, guarding it, and two guard towers stood on either side of the main entrance, and the two sentry-like minions seemed to rush down and shout loudly when they saw the approaching convoy:
"The general is back, the general is back!"
Then, the rusty railing gate was quickly pushed open by a few minions, all the way through the barrier of bunkers and trenches, and the captain of the Blood General drove straight in, continuing along the road deeper into the territory.
Chen Chong narrowed his eyes and looked through the car window.
As far as the eye could see, most of them were dilapidated and low houses, dirty and muddy floors, and there was a faint stench of feces and urine.
On both sides of the road, in addition to the minions whose faces were painted with blood-colored oil paint, from time to time you can see a dirty, ragged, beggar-like figure, hurriedly shrunk in the corner to hide when the blood general's convoy came, looking extremely frightened, which shows what kind of life these survivors live under the brutal rule of the blood general.
"It's finally here. ”
It was only at this time that Chen Chong let out a long breath.
Now, although he deviated from his original plan, he finally had the conditions to cultivate.
In just two days after escaping from the base, he fully realized the cruel and dark side of this world, and his desire for power has long been overwhelming!
Chen Chong couldn't wait, and the cultivation of the three exercises of [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong], [King Kong Incorruptible Divine Skill], and [Pneumatic Cannon Fist] started today!
