Chapter 54: The Mysterious Man and the King

The gasoline in the tank was sprinkled on the pile of bones, and a match bounced in an arc, with a faint flame, and fell on the pile of bones.

Rumble! Flames instantly enveloped this sinful place.

Qiu Ye and the others stood in front of the flames, looking at the burning pile of white bones, with heaviness and determination in their eyes.

......

Location: Eguchi City Center Shelter

The 62.8-kilometer-long cordon of the shelter is obviously impossible to defend every place, so occasionally some fish slip through the net and are slaughtered and then killed by the guards who arrive.

The central area of the shelter can be said to be the safest place, but it is a pity that those places are occupied by those officials and those capitalists before the end of the world.

In the middle area, there are some young and middle-aged office workers who are relatively healthy, and on the most marginal, that is, the most dangerous area, are some elderly people or people with limited mobility.

It can be said that at this moment, the hierarchy, the law of the jungle, is fully expressed, what morality, what civilization, who cares at this time?

In the area near the cordon, there are remnants, scrawny people on the side of the road, waiting for death to come.

At a glance, no one is moving, they are all lying on their stomachs, or leaning, their eyes are dull, like sculptures, if it is not for the eyelids will close, you may think that these are all dummies.

Depressed, heavy, dead.

That's the tone here.

On the defensive line formed by the stacked cars, a few bored guards sat and looked at the mutated creatures scattered outside.

"Damn, I'm fed up with this kind of life!" A man with a rough face took off the torn police hat at the top of his head and threw it on the hood of the car.

A relatively small guard picked up his hat and looked up, revealing his swarthy face. The face was full of exhaustion, but the integrity and tenacity in the eyes were so strong that it didn't seem to have faded because of the end times.

"Leizi, what the police hat represents, I think you know very well."

The tall and rugged man suddenly withered when he saw the short guard say this.

There is nothing else, because the strong man was trained by him, and he can't help but listen to the words of the short guard, because without him, there would be no strong man today.

"Captain Chen, our duty is to protect civilians, not those vampires! Those capitalists! The strong man's eyes were red, and although his tone was not excited, it was full of sadness.

For this world, for this society, feel sad.

Captain Chen looked into Lei Zi's eyes, and he saw himself from inside.

The bruised self.

How could he not be sad?! But he's a soldier! The duty of a soldier is to obey orders! Even if the order is wrong, he must obey it!

This is the fate of soldiers, which can be said to be pedantic, but it makes people awe-inspiring.

No one can blame the soldiers, because they are the ones who defend the homeland and the country! Even if it is now the end of the world, the society collapses, and the system collapses, they are still on the front line!

"Tell me! What is the most important thing in the army! Captain Chen looked around at the six people in front of him and shouted.

"Obey orders!" Subconsciously, the six responded directly.

"Then what's the problem?!"

"Nope!"

Captain Chen could see the unwillingness and incomprehension in the eyes of those young and immature guards.

But what can it be? They are now barely able to eat and wear, and they can't even talk about food and clothing. Supplies were delivered once a week, from nutritious meals at the beginning to compressed biscuits now, and they knew that there was no longer enough food in the shelter.

Even if they divide the food in their hands, they will not be able to save these people who have lost hope.

Take out the only small piece of compressed biscuit left in your arms, pull open a small piece the size of a fingernail, put it in your mouth, and swallow it into your stomach with the turbid sewage in the kettle.

Feeling the hot stomach pain gradually subside, he distributed the biscuits in his hand to the players in front of him.

Their military biscuits have long been eaten, and the military biscuits sent over last week are only seven, just one for each person, the size of a biscuit, but they need to live on this for a week, for these young people whose bodies are still developing, a biscuit can only last for three days.

Captain Chen has experienced the war and knows how important food is, so he can rely on this piece of compressed biscuit to survive until now.

The teammates shared small compressed biscuits, and Captain Chen looked at the mutated creatures that wandered outside the cordon from time to time, and the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

In fact, he already felt that this shelter was about to run out.

The beast tide ten days ago turned them from a team of fifteen people to a team of seven people.

Thinking back to that terrifying beast tide, even his tough personality couldn't help but tremble a little.

The battle continued all night, and just as their cordon was about to fall, the man appeared, carrying something that looked like a ball of light, in front of the beast tide.

His outlook on life was upended on that night.

Three mutant creatures came out of the mutant group, a leopard with blood-red skin, a large golden bird, and a jade cicada with a blue cold air.

The guards behind the mysterious person, including Captain Chen, seemed to be choked in the throat, and an inexplicable coercion descended directly, making them tremble involuntarily and dare not make any moves.

The size of the three creatures was all one zhang in size, and there were many beasts in the beast tide that were larger than their size, but when these three creatures came out, the black beast tide suddenly stopped.

For a while, there was silence.

There was only a mysterious person in a black robe, who did not show his appearance, and three strange mutated creatures, facing each other.

The strange thing is that those three mutant creatures are actually very jealous of the mysterious man, or the white light cluster in the mysterious man's hands.

"I think you can understand me, you know what it is, if you move forward, will you bear the consequences?"

The mysterious man has a hoarse voice, but he has a determination that cannot be refused.

"Human, you're playing with fire!" What shocked Captain Chen was that the blood-red leopard among the three mutant creatures actually spoke!!

Yes, mutant creatures are talking!

"Whether I'm playing with fire or not, I don't know, but you know very well, I do what I say!"

The atmosphere was tense, and the bloodthirsty impulse in the eyes of the blood-red leopard became even stronger.

"Bloodthirsty King, so be it this time." A cold female voice rang out, and at a glance, it was actually the jade cicada.

Jade Cicada took a few steps forward and walked up to the mysterious man, her huge eyes staring at the mysterious man, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

In the face of the coercion of the jade cicada, the mysterious man did not retreat at all, and did not even have the slightest fear.

As if looking at an old friend, looking at the jade cicada.

"Human, this time, you succeeded, but next time, who can you keep?"

After saying this, the huge jade cicada took the lead in turning around and leaving, leaving a passage covered in frost, and some mutated creatures that had no time to dodge were directly frozen into ice sculptures, and their vitality was lost.

The blood-red leopard took a deep look at the mysterious man, and the bloodlust in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest.

"Human, I'll come to you again, I hope that when the time comes, you won't let me down."

The big golden bird hovering overhead, with the dark cloud-like mutated flying creatures behind it, screamed and roared away.

Strangely, before the mutated creatures left, they also took the corpses of the dead mutated creatures with them.

If it weren't for the large amount of blood on the ground and the dead comrades around him, Captain Chen even wondered if all this was his dream.

Thinking of something, Captain Chen turned his head to look in the direction of the mysterious man, only to find that the mysterious man had disappeared.
