Chapter 18: Carter
Of course, Faren would not ask this half-grown little guy to sleep with Eluka with him, after all, although the two little ones look beautiful, they only have faces and no figures, and they are not as comfortable as their own maids. www.biquge.info So he just checked Kurona and asked her and Eluka to rest. As one of the Big Seven, Fei Lun can of course enjoy privileges, even in the front-line battlefield, others can only sleep in the open air or in tents, while he can sleep leisurely in the room that has been cleaned up. For the first time, the two sisters, Eluka and Corona, were not camped in a simple tent or in a dangerous ruin, but slept soundly in a clean and tidy room.
Don't worry about being attacked by bandits in the wilderness, don't worry about being attacked by monsters, it's such a beautiful day!!
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried. While Faren and the others were leisurely enjoying a quiet night, the position he had cleared during the day had now become a battlefield.
"Cheer me up, keep an eye on my surroundings!! Be careful, I told you to be careful, you idiot, look at the heavens! ”
A man in a heavy leather jacket roared and rushed forward, pinning the dumb Heavy to the ground, only to see the Energy Sucker's claws fly over them almost as they grazed their scalps. And with a series of gunshots, the intertwined network of fire suddenly enveloped the energy sucker, accompanied by a series of screams, the huge energy sucker fell from the sky and fell to the ground, but even so, it still wanted to struggle to attack the prey in front of it, until the two machine gunners turned around and blew its head with a series of bullets, so that the damn energy sucker completely returned to the western sky.
What bad luck!!
Tie Qing stared at the corpse that was still twitching, and the man in the leather jacket also spat viciously. But he didn't care about the corpse at all, and continued to turn and look ahead.
The Blackstone Group's movements were not unpleasant, and at the crossroads where Faeron had eliminated the mutated elite monster during the day, it was already full of cover at the moment, and there were even several searchlights to illuminate the surroundings. The advantage of the energy coverage area is here, there is no need for any power generation equipment at all, as long as the equipment that needs to be driven by energy is transported and can be used.
But for Carter, it was a place that made him feel restless.
As the leader of the Wilderness Alliance, Carter is now distraught. The reason is very simple, because not long ago, he received the news that shocked him extremely -- the "vulture" died.
To be honest, when he first got the news, Carter's first reaction was to disbelief, and then he angrily flipped the table. The Vulture is a very important figure in the Wilderness League, and his ability to search and find food and water in the wilderness is possible. Such an ability is a lifesaver for those of them who wander the wilderness. And in order to pull this important person into the Wilderness Alliance, Carter also put a lot of effort, and even lost his favorite woman, which brought the "vulture" in.
Carter certainly knew that someone of the power of "Vulture" would not listen to him willingly, especially since his ability could not be more important to the wanderers who roamed the wilderness. If one is not good, it is very likely that he will kick himself down in turn, and at that time, the force that he has worked so hard to build up will be cheaper for others.
However, since Carter is willing to pull the "vulture" in, he naturally has his own little abacus. Few people know that in fact, this middle-aged man who looks big and arrogant has also awakened his own authority ability. Moreover, Carter's ability is very special, and his awakened ability is -- devouring.
That's right, as the ability holder of Level 3 Authority, Carter is able to devour the abilities of people of the same level or below for his own use. Of course, this ability is not completely unlimited, that is, Carter can only devour one ability to use, and once he devours another ability, then the previous ability will be invalidated. Because of this, no one in the entire Wilderness Alliance knew the truth about Carter's abilities, because what Carter had been showing in front of them was the abilities of other people he had devoured before.
It is precisely because of this ability that Carter chooses to pull the "Vulture" into his own power, and his original plan was to launch a surprise attack on the "Vulture" while he is unprepared, and then absorb his ability. And the reason why he is willing to lead the Wilderness Alliance to accept the employment of the Blackstone Group this time is that in addition to the generous remuneration given by the Blackstone Group, there is also the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to attack the "vulture" and devour his abilities.
Originally, Carter thought that after a few days, after the battle situation became stalemate, he would bring someone to implement the plan. But what he didn't expect was that less than a day after he came to the ruins, Carter disappeared with his people, and before Carter could send someone to find him, the Blackstone Group informed him that ......... "vulture" was dead.
And when he learned the news, Carter's face was left with a capital bewilderment.
What? The "vulture" died? Is there any mistake? Isn't this thing the most afraid of death on weekdays? How could he die? How could he die?!!
Although Carter didn't want to believe it, when he hurried to the scene with his men, all he saw was the dead body of the "vulture". Seeing this scene, Carter immediately became angry. His ability is indeed very strong, but it is only useful if the target is alive, everyone is dead, and he still devours a fart!!
Carter, who was furious, also immediately sent someone to collect information, and he must find out this bastard who ruined his good deeds!
However, the process was unexpectedly simple, because the identity of the murderer was basically known to passers-by -- that is, one of the seven giants of the ninth district, the doctor.
After learning about the situation, Carter immediately sent a representative to the Blackstone Group to protest, anyway, the "vulture" is also a member of the "Wilderness Alliance", and the people of your ninth district killed him like this, don't you give an explanation?
And what made Carter even more angry was that the Blackstone Group ......... I really didn't intend to give an explanation, and in the face of Carter's righteous indignation, they just routinely gave an answer that was being investigated, as for then? Then there must be no then, huh?
Not only that, but to Carter's displeasure, shortly after that, they received orders from their employers to move here to defend their positions. And this is the area that the "doctor" is responsible for!
His goal was killed by the other party, his plan was destroyed by the other party, and now he has to bring someone to wipe this bastard's ass!! Just thinking about it, Carter almost went berserk.
But alas, at the moment he didn't even have time to flip the table and lose his temper. At first, the area was relatively peaceful, and the fortifications were built without hindrance. Originally, Carter thought it would be an easy job, but what he didn't expect was that since nightfall, they had been attacked by all kinds of monsters from all over them. At first, it was still a zombie, and then there were even mutants, and now there are energy suckers to cause trouble. Although under Carter's command, this wave of monster attacks was blocked, but their men also lost a lot. The Wilderness Alliance was originally a relatively loose organization formed by a group of nomads in the wilderness, and if it weren't for the generous remuneration given by the Blackstone Group this time, they would not have rallied together to act together. But now that half the night has passed, although they have blocked the further attack of the monsters, they have also suffered heavy losses, which really makes Carter feel a little overwhelmed.
With the failure of another attack, the energy suckers who were hovering not far away seemed to have given up the idea of continuing the attack, only to hear a series of hoarse screams, and the next moment, under the illumination of the searchlight, I saw those black shadows spread their wings and fly into the sky, and then flew away towards the depths of the ruins of the city.
"Hoo ..............."
It was only at this time that Carter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat on the ammunition box. Although there was a whole box of grenades under his butt, Carter was no longer in this thing and would blow his ass in half, he almost died in the mouth of an energy-sucking monster just now, but fortunately Carter activated his abilities at the last moment, and he escaped. Now Carter is even secretly glad that he didn't get the "vulture" ability, otherwise I'm afraid he would have turned into a dried corpse at this time.
But then again, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have run to this hellish place to fight hard!!
"Boss, boss!!"
Just when Carter finally relaxed and wanted to smoke a cigarette to suppress his shock, suddenly, a small leader of his command came running panting from behind. Seeing his arrival, Carter frowned, took the cigarette from his mouth again, and glared at the other party coldly.
"What's wrong? What happened? So flustered. ”
"That's ........."
Sensing Carter's cold gaze, the little leader was obviously nervous, but even so, he hesitated, still took half a step forward, came to Carter's side, and then said in a low voice.
"Didn't you want us to investigate the details of that 'doctor', my brothers and I ran behind for a long time and got a very interesting news............"
As he spoke, the little leader lowered his voice again and whispered something in Carter's ear. Hearing him speak, Carter's expression became very strange, and he raised his head and looked at the man beside him in surprise.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure that's what everyone says, it's an open secret in District 9........."
"Good."
Hearing this, Carter smiled coldly, and then he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
"You've done a good job, now go down and rest."
"Yes, Boss."
The little boss was visibly happy to receive Carter's reward, but he hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
"That......... Boss, should we ...............?"
As he spoke, the little leader reached out and made a gesture. Seeing his gesture, Carter thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, it's not in a hurry now, the Blackstone Group is staring at us closely, and it's not too late for a while, you go and send a few trustworthy people to keep an eye on each other, don't startle the snake first, wait until we get this deal done."
As he spoke, Carter clenched his fist hard and smashed the cigarette in his hand.
"I'll let that bastard know that our Wilderness Alliance isn't easy to mess with!!"
