Chapter 2: Departure

"Because you lost contact before, the gathering place asked me to investigate and search, since you are still alive, it is great, now, you can pack your things and prepare to return to the gathering place, the electromagnetic storm is coming, what does it mean, you will not not understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As he spoke, Fei Lun glanced at the wall lamp not far away, as if to verify his words, the wall lamp that originally emitted a soft light suddenly began to flicker rapidly, and after a while, it returned to normal again. Seeing this scene, many people, including the girl, changed their faces. The girl hesitated for a moment before asking.

"You said that you came to us on behalf of the gathering place, do you have any proof?"

Smart, decisive, and a little naΓ―ve, but for her age, it's pretty good.

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Faeron gave a good evaluation in his heart, and then he took out the data cube from his pocket and threw it over. The girl took it in her hand, then opened it, and soon, a series of codes emerged from it. However, the girl was clearly very good at this kind of data processing, and she stretched out her finger and tapped lightly on the code a few times, and then the code disappeared, revealing a barrage of information. Feren didn't know what was written on it, but it was clear that the girl and her companion were noticeably more relaxed than before. They looked at each other, and then saw the three men put down their guns, and the girl stepped out of the crowd and stood about three meters in front of Faerun. In the last days, this is already a friendly distance.

I saw that the girl came to Fei Lun's face like this and saluted him respectfully.

"Thank you very much for your help............ Doctor ..............."

"You're welcome, I just did what I had to do."

Hearing the girl's thanks, Faeron smiled and nodded. It was only at this time that the girl discovered that on Fei Lun's shoulder, there was a petite black cat lying on her stomach. I saw Fei Lun stretch out his hand and gently stroke the little head of the black cat, and then put his hand down.

"If nothing happens, then we'd better get out of here at once."

No one disputed Feron's orders, and everywhere in this wasteland was fraught with danger. Just because they were lucky enough to escape doesn't mean that this good fortune will last forever. Therefore, everyone quickly packed their bags and left this terrible dark realm with their seriously injured captain.

As in the records, at the time of the last contact report, the team was attacked by a group of zombies. Of course, if it's just a simple zombie, then these well-armed warriors won't take it seriously. But what they didn't expect was that just as they were about to completely destroy these zombies, the energy suckers suddenly appeared and killed their companions while they were not paying attention, and the leg that Feren had seen in the wreckage of the vehicle was the only trace left by the unlucky guy in this world.

The team became nervous when they saw the energy-suckers, as one of the reasons they set out in the first place was because they had reported that they had spotted energy-suckers nearby. And the appearance of the energy sucker naturally attracted their attention. But what they didn't expect was that there was more than one energy-sucking monster, and they actually surrounded them while the warriors were dealing with zombies!

Having lost their means of transportation and had no way to escape, their captain made a quick decision and led them to the tunnels, trying to use their geographical advantage to defend and resist the attack of the energy absorbers. Unfortunately, they failed, and in the end, they lost nearly half of their manpower, and they escaped the search of the power-sucking monsters and hid in this small warehouse.

But that's all they can do, because of the torrential rain, remote communication via the Internet has completely failed, and in fact, even if they do, it's useless. They were already the most powerful warriors in the Gathering, and if they couldn't solve the problem themselves, the Gathering couldn't help them solve anything.

If Faeron didn't show up here, then they had only two options, either try to save their lives in the electromagnetic storm that came after the rainstorm, or rush out of the tunnel, try to break through the encirclement of the energy absorbers, and try to see if they can run back.

In fact, of these two options, there is not even a 1 percent chance of surviving.

There was silence in the tunnels.

The crowd had slowed down as lightly as they could, but their footsteps still echoed through the tunnels. This made them nervous, especially when the warriors were nervous at the thought that the energy-suckers were probably still hiding in the dark, waiting to hunt them down. They raised their guns almost nervously, aiming at any possible place to hide, for fear that the next moment a power-sucker would emerge from somewhere and pounce on them.

But soon, they realized that there was no need for it.

Turn the corner and the exit is already in sight.

But everyone, including the girl, involuntarily slowed down, even their captain, the man with third-level ability, was staring at all this in surprise at this time, looking at all this in disbelief.

There were corpses everywhere.

Twisted corpses lay on the ground in all directions, looking like people, but not people. Their bodies barely maintain their human form, but their skin has an eerie brownish-black color. The sharp nails on both fingers were as sharp as knife blades, and their heads were more like human jaws that had been elongated to produce some kind of mutant monster, and their sharp snow-white teeth reflected a chilling light under the inorganic light.

They are energy suckers, one of the most feared monsters in this wasteland, but now, they have become corpses that even humans sympathize with. Wounds were dissected along their bodies, and even bones and internal organs could be seen turning out of their bodies. But the most terrifying thing is not their wounds, but the way these monsters die.

They died in agony.

Painful death is not uncommon in the last days, but it also has preconditions, one for the pain of killing, and the other for the sake of killing.

And judging by the traces of struggle on the corpses of these energy suckers right now, they clearly belong to the latter. If those people had wondered how Faeron had managed to get out of the encirclement of the Energy Suckers, now they had the answer.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight......... There are eight corpses in total, and it looks like the energy suckers who are chasing us are here..............."

"Just him? How did he do it, even if we were to go together, it would be a question of whether we could kill one of them........."

"Smack!"

Just as everyone was whispering, suddenly, another black shadow fell from above, startling everyone, they hurriedly raised their guns to aim at the black shadow, and then put down the weapon in their hands in despair. Their captain just glanced at the bloody corpse and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Okay......... We missed a ........."

Without the threat of energy suckers, the warriors encountered no other obstacles along the way, and although the downpour of rain caused them some obstacles, they eventually made it back to the gathering place before dark.

"We're back!! We're back!! ”

Looking at the bright lights not far away, the soldiers who survived the catastrophe couldn't help but show excited and excited expressions, after all, after experiencing the test of life and death, the only thing they want to do now is to return to their warm and comfortable homes and sleep well, as for other things, they don't even want to think about it!

"Well, that's the end of my mission."

Just when everyone was excited, a fluttering speech came from the side, but it suddenly made the originally excited warriors suddenly close their mouths. They turned their heads and looked at the dark figure standing not far from them like a ghost, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Only after a moment did the captain step forward with a little hesitation and speak.

"Thank you very much for your help. But are you sure you don't want to go back with us? I don't know how handsomely you've been paid, but you saved us from the encirclement of energy-sucking monsters and destroyed those terrible monsters, and I think you should have done more than what you were getting now. And ........."

In the face of Feron, this man's attitude was very respectful. This is also a matter of course, perhaps the group of fools under his command still don't know much about Faeron's strength. But their captain knew very well that what they had encountered before was a group of energy-suckers with second-level clearance, including even a fourth-level power-absorbing monster leader. This is also the reason why he and his subordinates will be suppressed to death. In the network area, the level of authority represents status and strength, although the man himself also has three levels of authority. But in the case of the suppression of the authority level, he was only able to barely exert the lowest level of power. And it is such a group of terrible monsters that can be easily killed by the man in front of him, which means that this person who calls himself a "doctor" is likely to have the ability to have more than five levels of authority.

And a strong person with authority above level five is an existence that they absolutely cannot offend.

"There's no need for that."

However, in the face of the captain's retention, Faeron stretched out his hand and interrupted him.

"Although I accepted the commission, I was not paid, and I had no intention of receiving it. So, let's leave it at that. ”

After saying this, Feren nodded at the people in front of him, and then turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, you're ............!!"

Watching Feren leave, the girl tried to step forward and say something, but she had only taken a few steps before she was stopped by the captain beside her.

"Captain, why are you holding me back? And, why don't you leave him behind? You can also see his strength, if you can let this person stay in our town, then wouldn't our town be more secure? ”

Looking at the captain's arm lying horizontally beside her, the girl was obviously a little surprised. She had hoped to wait until she returned to the gathering place to find an opportunity to keep the young man. The girl hadn't seen him, so it was certain that the other party should be a mercenary or something. And in her opinion, if the gathering place is willing to pay a certain price, then being able to leave this strong man in the gathering place is obviously a good choice. But the girl didn't expect that after arriving at the destination, the other party turned around and left without saying a word, and this kind of performance of not playing cards according to the rules really surprised her. Originally, the girl was going to step forward to try to dissuade and persuade the other party, but she didn't expect that her most respected captain stopped her action.

In the face of her inquiry, the captain shook his head.

"Don't mess with him, Beth, he's not someone you can touch. He is not of the same world as us, he will not agree to stay in a small place like ours, and even if he wants to stay, it will only bring disaster to us. ”

"But ............"

Hearing the captain's words, the girl bit her lip, she glanced at the figure that was gradually moving away with a complicated expression, and suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she shouted loudly.

"My name is Beth! You must remember my name, I swear, we will definitely meet again!! ”
