Chapter 62: From the Wilderness
The thick lead cloud was like an ancient beast separating heaven and earth, and the stars, moons, and morning light were completely gone.
Only the howling cold wind in the middle of the night carries the afterglow of the night, reminding the exiles in the wilderness that the day is coming to an end.
The wind blew through the desolate wilderness, and over the low hillside was a gathering place of displaced people piled up with barbed wire, gasoline drums, wooden planks, and other debris.
The ruins of the old city would have been a better place if there were no strange beasts, but the dilapidated shacks were not bad now.
The Ability Awakeners of the New Era have established a new order in just over a decade, but these wilderness outcasts seem to have been left behind the times.
In the wooden shack behind the barbed wire, two men/men holding old modified earth shotguns stood and chatted lazily, and a few happy voices came from the shack behind them from time to time, which made the two laugh brighter.
In fact, these two modified earth shotguns have no deterrent power at all in the ruins of the city, but in such a gathering place of wilderness wanderers, this is the spear of Longinus, which inflicts divine punishment.
“x! This howls so much. ”
As he spoke, one of them swallowed and cursed, causing his companion to laugh wickedly.
Perhaps it was the loud voices behind them that neither of them noticed that a sickly young man was staggering just outside the barbed wire fence behind them.
"Anyone?"
Chen Jue heard the crying of the wooden house from afar, if it weren't for this sound, maybe with his current perception, he was afraid that he would have to be shuttled when he walked in.
Although the items in the hidden realm will be weakened in the real world, the monocle that was previously used to check the display of combat power still has some residual effect.
"The monocle of the Duke of Isschelle, the elegant possession of the Duke of England, with which he saw all the glitzy beings."
This monocle is just a low-level prop that he extracted with the sign-in system, and the range of strength he checks can be converted into the Xianxia world, and he can also check the realm below the first order of the foundation building realm, which is about the level of combat power below five hundred points.
Beyond this display value, the monocle will not be able to withstand the pressure and will shatter directly, but in this case, this thing is just right.
Outside the barbed wire, Chen Jue took the glass mirror and glanced at it in front of him, and the lens felt the position of the two gun-wielding guards in front of the wooden shed similar to infrared induction.
"Combat power 56, 61, is it just an ordinary person who has been trained?"
This thought secretly flashed in his heart, and Chen Jue turned his head and glanced at the people in the wooden house again.
The infrared image can vaguely see the outlines of two people, one of whom has a combat power of 121, which is probably the level of less than the second or third layer of the Qi refining period, which is equivalent to the athlete's physique in the old era.
The other seems to be seriously ill, or his physique is already very weak, and his combat power is only 32 points.
After Chen Jue checked the situation in front of him, he looked around uneasily.
The gathering point formed by these shacks, which was supposed to have a few families, now seems to have no idea what happened, and only these four people remain.
Chen Jue carefully put away the spectacle lens, this thing may not be of much use in the hidden world, but for him at the moment, it can really be called an artifact-like existence.
After determining the situation inside, Chen Jue turned straight around, intending to bypass this shack.
It's not that he didn't hear the movement inside, but he has never been the kind of hot-blooded boy who likes to be strong.
There are rules in the wilderness, and there are human truths in the world, Chen Jue thinks he is a very well-behaved person.
In the middle of his mind, he was about to turn away, but suddenly a man's scream came from the shed, followed by several angry scoldings mixed with the clattering of pots and pans.
Chen Jue subconsciously glanced back, there was no emotion on his face and he didn't plan to go back, but in the next second, he changed his mind.
Through the barbed wire, he saw a rotten motorcycle parked in front of the shed without fenders and a tripod.
This kind of explains why these three obviously much stronger men/men are here.
"Scooters?"
Thinking of this, Chen Jue glanced down at his feet.
Along the way, he was really tired enough, and the suppressive force of the Prison Dragon Armor had not decreased, and every time he exerted force, he would be pressed back by an invisible pressure.
On the other side, the two men guarding the door in front of the shed listened to the movement in the house and hurriedly asked with shotguns.
"Boss!"
"What's the situation?"
“x! Cut off that girl's hand for Lao Tzu! ”
In the dimly lit room, a man was vaguely seen pointing to the corner and cursing angrily.
The sky was so dark that I could barely see my fingers, and it was pitch black in the shack, so that no one could see clearly.
When the two men guarding the door heard this, they subconsciously glanced at the corner, and they didn't see much at a glance.
On the contrary, the man in the room was so angry that he walked out quickly, grabbed a modified shotgun and had to do it himself.
It's just that he just got the gun, and the next second he raised his hand and "bang" at the door was a shot!
The shot rang out right next to the two men guarding the door, and the ejected bullet casing in the chamber jumped onto the arm of one of them, burning him to the side.
With this dodge position, the man with the gun walked directly out of the shed and shouted.
"Get out of here!"
“……”
Outside the shed, the wind was calm and no one answered, just a gust of wind blew, and the man at the door couldn't help but shiver.
In the wind, a root like a radish suddenly poked out from the corner of the wall.
The man hadn't seen it at first, and was just about to put down the shotgun, when he suddenly noticed a large hair dryer with two radish legs poking out of the corner of the wall!
"What?!"
"Sudden !!"
Before he could react, the pea shooter was directly a string of peas in a row.
A fist-sized pea, although it is only an energy aggregate, is almost equivalent to the effect of a brick slapping on the brain.
The man in front of the door said that he had some strength but did not reach the point of awakening his ability at all, and he couldn't beat the pea shooter with a modified earth shotgun in his hand.
Just a photo, he was directly paralyzed to the ground by the pea shooter.
Seeing this, the other two people in the house just wanted to hide in the house, but in the blink of an eye, they were knocked to the ground by several fist-sized pea energy balls from nowhere.
easily solved these three people, and Chen Jue, who had been hiding behind the shack, slowly walked out.
He was already wearing a dragon armor embedded in his body, and when he slowly walked to the motorcycle with only the fuel cylinder rack left, the woman/person in the house also heard the movement and staggered out.
The night wind was cold, the heavy lead clouds covered the starlight, and nothing could be seen clearly in this shack, so that when the woman/person came out, Chen Jue didn't notice her appearance, but only vaguely saw an outline.
"Help me!"
It seemed that the woman/person had misunderstood Chen Jue's previous actions, and shouted at him as soon as they met.
"Don't you have any cushions?"
Although I knew that the conditions in the wilderness were limited, the motorcycle had no saddles, and an iron frame tied to the tires could barely sit for a while.
If you look closely, in addition to the cylinder and engine, the tires and handlebars of this motorcycle seem to be all scraps and pieces of stuff that I picked up somewhere.
If it weren't for the fact that before, when it was not dark, I would have seen it now, and now let Chen Jue come to see this thing, I am afraid that it may not be able to see that it is a rotten motorcycle.
While Chen Jue was looking at this rotten motorcycle, the woman/man actually ran over directly and walked up to him and pleaded.
"Please, take me away...... I will repay you. ”
"Repay?"
Chen Jue smiled playfully, didn't even look back at the woman/person, just waved his hand to make the pea shooter stop attacking.
The continuous pea energy mass was as if someone had been smashing the three people on the heads with a brick, and it didn't take long for blood to be seen.
Chen Jue was not kind or benevolent, but on this wild night, the three corpses with flowering heads were obviously quite attractive to the strange beasts that roamed in the dark.
"Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?"
“…… Yes! ”
The woman/person behind him hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied.
Chen Jue subconsciously glanced back at her when he heard this, he heard the hesitation in this woman's words, but he didn't demolish her.
It was pitch black all around, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't be able to see anything, but now this woman/person is standing very close, so Chen Jue can easily see her proud capital.
It's no wonder that the three people paralyzed on the ground have to run to this gathering place of homeless people on this rotten motorcycle, this woman/person is indeed worth coming to enjoy.
She should not have looked more than twenty years old, and she couldn't see clearly in the dark, but she could still vaguely see that she was not as white as a wilderness outcast, and she didn't have the rotten sores that had been exposed to radiation and mutated all year round.
Although the intake of nutrients is insufficient, her figure looks extremely thin, but it also looks more material.
It stands to reason that a person like her, if she fights a little hard to go to the ruins of the city, she may be able to find a person with the ability to awaken the ability as a backer, and she will not be able to nest in this garbage heap at all.
"It's kind of interesting."
After a simple glance, Chen Jue, who had been silent for a long time, made such an evaluation expressionlessly.
These words seemed to give the woman/person some courage, she wiped a handful of blood from her mouth, and walked in front of Chen Jue even more boldly.
Within three steps is already a rather dangerous distance, with Chen Jue's current physical condition, if this woman/person comes out with a knife, he may not be able to block it.
It's just that this time, he didn't say anything, he just got out of the way, showing the rotten motorcycle behind him, and said indifferently.
"Take me to a nearby town."
