Chapter Twenty-Six: The Road Meets a Strongman
"Found it!" In the channel, the voice of Gina, the senior of the group, came.
"In block B, where we are now...... Wait, someone is approaching at high speed, no, there's the sound of an engine! ”
Hearing this, Athera and Ethan hurried over, and the rest of the team also arrived from all over the streets of Juricno.
In front of the gray factory gate, three off-road vehicles powered by burning fire bug glands struck at a very fast speed, and stopped violently when they were about to crash into Gina and Jean, and the wheels made several eye-catching marks on the road.
A man in a black trench coat jumped out of a vehicle that had not completely stopped, and when he landed, he only raised a faint puff of smoke and dust, and the inertia was eliminated.
In the command center, Dora stared at the screen, and through Gina's vision, Dora could tell that the man in front of her was a system warrior, and the convoy was undoubtedly an exploration team from a nearby shelter.
"Attention units, contact has been confirmed to be the blacklisted Vault 337 Exploration Team."
"Hey, beauty, are you lost?" The trench coat man who got out of the car said with a wicked smile, and he could tell from the armor and guns on Gina and Jean that the other party was not a loiterer.
Gina was a little nervous, and her steps involuntarily took a step back, and the automatic rifle in her hand also lifted up slightly.
Jean was very calm when he saw the strange and unintentional people approaching, he first looked left and right, looking for the next escape route, and then glanced at the six people who got out of the car in front of him, paying attention to the equipment they might be carrying.
Seeing that the two didn't speak, the man in the trench coat smiled and said to his companion, "I didn't expect it to be two dumb." ”
Ethan and Athera were in Zone C, not too far from Jean and the others, and they arrived quickly as the two ran at full speed. In addition, other team members also arrived one after another.
"Hey, you're from Vault 125, aren't you?" The man in the trench coat raised his chin and shouted to Ashera who had arrived.
"This is where we look at first, so let's go." Another man in a vest also said arrogantly.
"We came first." Jean argued.
With a whistling, the figure of the man in the trench coat flashed in front of Jean like a ghost, and a big face was attached to Jean's mask, and he asked sadly, "Do you say it again?" ”
Jean didn't realize that the other party would make such a move, and was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost sat on the ground. So he squatted down, the sniper rifle in his hand rested on his shoulder, his finger on the trigger, and the bullet in the chamber was about to fire.
"I'm the captain of this team, just tell me something." Seeing that the other party humiliated his team members like this, Athera held back the anger in his heart, pulled out the long sword that exuded a light blue halo from his waist, and said coldly.
"Knock knock knock......" Adeline's Ant trotted out from the corner of the street, and at the top of the Ant, a fighter was sitting on it, rifles aimed at the side of the convoy. Several swarthy barrels also poked out of the windows of the buildings on both sides.
"It's the Insect Hunter team in Vault 337, this team has a total of two system warriors, the captain Cook is a level 58 rare class desert guard, and the other is the newcomer Sandru, a level 39 hunter. The remaining four are all genetically modified first-order boosters. Jeff told everyone what he knew.
"Level 58...... Maybe this guy can already dodge machine gun shells, right? In the channel, someone whispered.
"You don't know the rules of not attacking alliance allies, do you?" Cook, the man in the trench coat, sneered and said to Athera.
Article 12 of the Statutes of the Survivors' Alliance: There shall be no armed conflict between shelters and no attacks on other members of the Alliance. Attacks on other members, whether direct aggression against the Vault or attacks on the sending of troops and foreign garrisons, are classified as attacks on allies. Once verified, their membership will be revoked, they will no longer be allowed to use the system, and a picket team will be sent to correct the situation.
Ashera raised her hand, and everyone understood, and put down the firearm in her hand.
"Then follow the old rules." Cook spread his hands and said with a hippie smile.
"You're shameless!" Athera gritted her teeth.
This was Athera's first contact with the people of Vault 337. Although the two Vaults are only a hundred kilometers apart, they can be said to be neighbors, but Vault 337 has a bad reputation in the wilderness.
In the wilderness, when multiple shelters have a dispute over an ownerless object, a system test is conducted, and the participants can be either system warriors or ordinary combatants. Two wins in three games, the winner takes all, and the loser leaves.
"So, did you give up? If you give up, go home early, it's not too early now, you see, you have to walk back. Another man in a vest, Sandru, teased.
"Hahahaha......" Sandru's words caused a burst of laughter.
"We're here before you, there's no need to give it to ......you," Athera could say before she could finish her sentence when she was interrupted by Cook.
"It doesn't matter if you came first, or whatever, as long as we see it, it's ours. If you're not convinced, you can drag it out here. However, I'm afraid your team members won't be able to stand it. ”
Although Athera was extremely angry in her heart, she had to admit that Cook's words made sense. The opponent's entourage is not only a strengthened person who has been genetically modified and can have a certain resistance to radiation and high temperatures, but also wears armor that has a higher level of protection and stronger energy endurance. If it continues to be consumed, it will only be them who will suffer.
"Athera, don't fight with them, let's go somewhere else." Dora spoke.
"Wait, I'll fight you." Just as Athera was about to lead the team away, Ethan suddenly took two steps forward and said to Cook.
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Athera and Commander Dora also understood that Ethan was trying to use the trait to steal skills from Cook.
Ethan's characteristics were known only to a few system warriors and the Vault's higher-ups in the Vault, and the others were not very clear, so everyone looked at Ethan in amazement, not understanding why Ethan did this.
"Huh? Are you sure? Cook looked at Ethan quizzically.
After his second transfer, he developed a new sense, and was able to judge the strength of the opponent based on the concentration of qi and blood of nearby creatures. In his senses, Ethan's strength was obviously much lower than Athera's, let alone his own opponent, even Sandru could easily defeat him.
A window pops up in front of you on the system panel:
"Ethan, the system warrior, has you asked for a competition, do you agree?"
"Okay, then come on." Kukra stopped Sandru, who was eager to try, and accepted Ethan's challenge.
