Chapter 51: The Brotherhood
Jamming the accelerator with a wooden stick, Li Mu turned on the power of the van, and the car suddenly roared out of the embankment and fell into the sea. The water splashed and bubbles floated up from the bottom of the water. The water here is more than 10 meters deep, and the tide is so high that the sediment on the bottom of the sea will soon cover the van without leaving a trace.
The five members of the Brotherhood weakly supported each other. The tungsten filament left by Zhang Guangling was very difficult, and it completely disappeared in their bodies after more than a dozen electric shocks.
"Thank you for your help, now I can't repay you, you can contact us at the Gecko Grocery Store at Sixteenth Ring 51 in the Mine Market, and our Freedom Brotherhood elders will definitely reciprocate. The cause of freedom and independence needs the help of righteous people like you. β
Li Mu shook his eyebrows, noncommittal.
After a long period of exile, the Brotherhood of Liberty became more radical. They hated Zhongzhou and Zhuxia. They believed that the industrialists and the crown were the source of chaos in the Deccan Plateau. They believed that the colonies should be ruled by the people of the colonies, and were determined to overthrow the rule of Zhongzhou on the Deccan Plateau.
They want to return the Deccan Plateau to its original era, when everyone had their own land.
This idea is naΓ―ve and unrealistic. When the Zhuxia people first came to the Deccan Plateau, the contradictions between the Hindustan and Zhuxia people were not acute. But now, the relationship between the two is one of fire and water. Without the support of Zhongzhou, the Zhuxia people, whose population is inferior to that of the Hindustani, will face extinction.
And over time, the radiation left over from the Great War began to weaken. The improvement of the environment has led to the rapid growth of the population. However, most of the land in the Deccan Plateau is barren, and some areas still have strong residual radiation, which is only suitable for growing drought-tolerant and radiation-tolerant plants such as cotton. The food produced in the land is not enough to satisfy everyone, and a large amount of food needs to be imported from the Middle State.
Both of these were validated years later.
The Hindustani, instigated by Ouroboros, organized and planned the massacre of the Zhuxia people. Countless Zhuxia people died tragically under the guns, scimitars, and cutting sticks, and the vast majority of the victims were Zhuxia people, including some Hindustan people who sympathized with the Zhuxia people.
A quarter of the colony's population disappeared as a result of the killing.
It wasn't until the Queen of Wolfheart reorganized the Brotherhood of Liberty and purged the opponents inside that the Zhuxia people were organized into a plate of scattered sands. The mainstay, resisting the invasion of Ouroboros, divided the Deccan Plateau into east and west.
However, she still opposed Zhongzhou's rule, drove out the newly appointed governor of Zhongzhou, and attacked Zhongzhou's army, looting weapons and ammunition. As a result, Zhongzhou cut off the colony's food supply.
Famine in the Deccan plateau began.
The limited amount of food was concentrated for the soldiers and children, and the elderly and women died of starvation, and some even began to eat people. Hunger caused some of the Zhuxia people to turn against her, wanting to regain the rule of Zhongzhou.
The Queen of Wolfheart has never been merciful to those who resist her. During that time, there were often protesters hanged outside the city, and their bodies hung on wooden poles to warn the people.
Often the next day, the flesh on the corpse is secretly cut off by the hungry, leaving only the bones. Everyone said that she had eaten the flesh from the corpse.
At this point, rumors began to circulate among the Zhuxia and Hindustan people that she ate people's hearts alive, which is also the origin of her title of Queen of the Wolf Heart.
Li Mu glanced at Li Mei, who was standing quietly behind her, and didn't know what kind of ordeal she had to go through to make her so tough and cold-blooded.
After rescuing her from Gaogang Village, her fate changed, and the wolf-hearted queen disappeared forever. Li Mu said firmly to himself in his heart.
"I will."
Li Mu nodded, now he and the Brotherhood of Freedom had a common enemy. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Moreover, as one of the strongest people on the entire earth, the Queen of Wolf Heart still has many powerful professions and skills in the Freedom Brotherhood.
Moreover, the Brotherhood of Liberty also holds an underground passage that connects the ruins of the pre-war city of Lakimbed.
The ruins of Larkin Bede are inhabited with marauders. It was the real lawless land, and it was the Undercasters who ruled it. Murderers, deserters, mercenaries. The entire colony, where at least two-thirds of the scum is concentrated, is a city of robbers. As long as you have gold, enjoy everything.
Facing Zhang Changling directly, he deeply felt the lack of his own strength. In Sword of Dawn, skills and skill levels determine most of a person's strength.
Li Mu's previous enemies, Ami Ruohan and Song Chengzhi, although they reached the fourth energy level, their strength was not very strong. It's because their skill level is too low. Also at the fourth energy level, Zhang Changling practiced the skills of the Dust Sword to the limit, and he could kill them with a single sword.
Larkin Bade is full of scum, and there are several copies that can quickly increase the skill level, which is the treasure of his leveling.
Wrapping the Du family's gunman uniform with stones and guns and throwing them into the sea, Li Mu and Li Mei changed into their original clothes.
The large number of bullets left behind by the guns they used on the battlefield would not have gone unnoticed in a small place like Platform 77. But in Xinlinfen, the angry Du family will not let go of any clues. Carrying these guns with them only increases the chances of exposure.
Walking back to the street where the battle had taken place, the seal had enclosed the battlefield, and a group of sheriffs wearing gloves were searching for traces left on the battlefield.
Du Zirui, who was furious, released the news that a reward of 2,000 gold coins was offered to collect snipers. The huge bounty made the work of these sheriffs extremely enthusiastic.
They searched every nook and cranny and carefully packed the warheads left on the battlefield into sealed plastic bags. Just go back and compare the firearms database, and if you're lucky, you'll find out about the guns and find the mysterious sniper and his observer.
Li Mei is not the murderous wolf-hearted queen in the future, she saw so many sheriffs, she was subconsciously a little nervous, her face became unnatural, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look over there.
The sheriffs were experienced hounds and could easily spot her anomaly.
Li Mu took a few steps forward, blocked her behind him, and held her hand.
"Don't panic, behave normally, I'll be by your side."
A sheriff who was leading the mountain hunt saw the two of them, walked over, took the notebook in his hand, and glanced at them with a sharp gaze.
"Who are you and where are you from?"
"We are from Bangalore District, and we are going to go back to the farm tools at the new Linfen entry point."
Li Mu shook the deerskin jacket on his body. Glancing at the mountain hunter covertly, it could smell the smell of gunpowder on the human body. They changed their clothes and blew the sea breeze all the way, hoping to fool the brute's nose.
The mountain dog sniffed Li Mu's body and walked away, but he kept sniffing Li Mei's body suspiciously. The gunpowder residue of the assault rifle is more than that of the pistol, and the smell of gunpowder on Li Mei's body has not yet dissipated.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the sheriff's face became serious, and he pressed one hand on the holster on his waist, looking at Li Mei vigilantly.
Li Mu's heart sank, and he could feel Li Mei's palms begin to get wet. His gaze was hidden from the sheriff's holster.
"Hey! Feed! What are you going to do to this young lady, they are not bad people, they were in the street when they first attacked, and they saved two people from the guns of those gangsters, you can't doubt them. β
Li Mu turned his head to look, but it was the shivering doctor who was hiding under the table before.
"It turned out to be Doctor Yuan." The sheriff's expression immediately softened: "Can Doctor Yuan testify for them?" β
"Of course, they stayed with me until the shooting was over."
"In that case, then I'm relieved." The sheriff tugged at the mountain dog: "Maybe they were too close to the scene of the battle, and they got some gunpowder on it, so that the beast misunderstood." β
