Section 411 Hell before Heaven
The winds of death are fading, and the best time of the day for x35 begins, when even the dark clouds in the sky seem willing to open the net, stingily revealing a gap so that the rare sunlight can spread to this miserable land. (Genius only takes 3 seconds to remember.) Novel.com)
In the vast desert, a group of ragged travelers trudged with difficulty. They supported each other, holding worn-out wooden sticks in their hands, but their yellow and thin faces were filled with pain and hope.
This is the Great Desert of Geert, known as the Desert of Hope. It is also the road to hell that they would rather give up all their savings and do their best to pass. It's called hell because the Geert Desert is one of the harshest deserts on the X35. At least tens of thousands of travelers die on this road every year. It is said to be hopeful because as soon as they pass through this desert, they will reach a promised land. No more starvation and death.
That paradise was called Karlster, and it used to be called a paradise.
Originally, a few years ago, it was an ordinary city of medium size. But since the Bloody Council ruled the entire planet, a large number of scattered organizations have been suppressed, and a large number of resources have been pooled. A new big city is being born from the ruins of Karlster. And with Karster as the center, radiating a huge and incoherent country!
It was the Land of Paradise and the seat of the Bloody Council.
There is no hunger there, and no one will hold a gun to your head and snatch what little money you have left. There is no oppression there, and no one is forcing you to gamble with your life. But there was food, shelter, work, and warm clothing. As long as you enter there, you can find a way to survive in this desperate last days. A hope for survival, a hope for dignity.
This is the Land of Paradise, the most famous nation on x35 and the most powerful, the supreme ruler of the planet.
Such a beautiful country is naturally something that everyone wants to visit, but it is not so easy. Elysian Land is weird, it opens its doors to anyone on the x35. But to enter this gate, you don't need money or money*. Just knowledge.
Whether it's personal knowledge or the relics of a pre-civilization found in the scavenging, this is the only requirement for ordinary people to enter the Land of Paradise.
What's more, the protection and treatment of scholars in the Land of Paradise is almost maddening. As long as you have knowledge, you can get almost everything you want here, wealth, women, power, arms, everything will be at your service. Therefore, in x35, the Land of Paradise is also known as the Land of Civilization Awakening. It represents the crystallization of the highest civilization of X35. Everyone who has a little ability, wants to walk into this place.
This group of travelers is also one of them. They were not qualified, but in an adventure some time ago, they found several computer hard memories left by the previous civilization, which contained a large amount of information. So try your luck in the Land of Paradise.
For this adventure, they almost broke the bank and took out all their belongings. Even two old armored vehicles were prepared. However, while passing through the Great Heath of Geert, he encountered a sandstorm and was later attacked by a group of sand thieves. In the end, only these people remained. Among them were many women and children. But even so, they did not give up hope, and still supported each other to move forward.
They had been walking in the Great Wasteland for a day and a night, and they were getting closer and closer to the Land of Paradise. No one wants to give up, and no one dares to give up. Because even the slightest slack can lead to a fall on the road. Like the countless bones around.
"Uncle Harrow, we ...... How long do we have to go. After a difficult trek, one of the girls in the group said loudly. Through the coarse cloth on her face, it can be seen that she is a beautiful woman with a delicate face. The most valuable item for such a girl is undoubtedly hers*, and in the Land of Paradise, this item can be sold for a higher price. …,
"Who knows, maybe just one day, maybe in the next moment. Jessica, you're not giving up, are you? If you give up, will you give your food and water to your companions? They need these. A middle-aged man with stubble in front of him replied. He was the only one in the team who did not wrap his whole body in a coarse cloth coat, only a simple coarse cloth suit, and the muscles that were as hard as iron could be seen in the cracked chest...... and countless ugly scars.
He was the leader of this group of travelers, and a mutant who had previously been feared by everyone.
Speaking of which, after leaving the planet from the Blood Empress, there are still some mutants who remain. It's just that they have all been awakened by the Blood Empress, and they are no longer beasts who only know how to destroy. Gradually, he also integrated into this world.
Mutants have more strength and stamina than normal people. So in general, it is the main force in the adventurous team. In fact, if it hadn't been for Harrow, the sand thieves would have killed them all.
"Really? It's going to take so long......" The girl named Jessica bowed her head gloomily. A cloth pocket is clenched tightly in his hand. There was half a piece of hard black bread in it, and that was all she had left.
This little food may last her for a day, but not for any longer. Without food supplements, a girl with a weak constitution like her is just a victim of the desert.
In fact, there are many people in the team who are more embarrassed than her, but people are selfish, aren't they? Jessica just wants to live, to live better.
"Stop talking, save your strength. Only then will you have any hope of reaching your goal. In addition, I want the people in the team to take good care of the children, they are all needed in the Land of Paradise. Maybe in the Land of Paradise, they will give you extra points for these children. Harrow said coldly without looking back. He led the way forward.
It's not the first time he's taken this road, so he seems to be familiar with it. Moreover, as a senior brigade leader, he knows that the land of paradise is far away, and it has the faint meaning of improving the overall civilization. So he is also willing to help the Land of Paradise. Although he has little knowledge, he has already led two teams of talent for the Land of Paradise. As long as he completes this team, he will be able to obtain the citizenship granted by the Land of Paradise. Get rid of the precarious life completely.
Thinking so, he silently led the way, and after a while, the sky gradually darkened.
Harrow sighed, knowing that he would not be able to get out of this desert today, just when he decided to dig a pit and camp, suddenly, the roar of a locomotive sounded in the distance.
"Not good!!"
Harrow's face changed suddenly, and experience told him that the locomotive that could come out at this time must be a sand thief. Only sand pirates would use so many locomotives.
"What's wrong?" Jessica, who was behind her, didn't know that the danger was approaching, and still asked in a low voice.
"Quick! Hide!! Harrow's voice was distorted. With such a dense roar of locomotives, there were at least hundreds of sand pirates. It was impossible for him and the remaining armed forces in the brigade to resist.
But now they are in the middle of the desert, and where is there a place to take refuge around? Armored vehicles, which could have been used as bunkers, were also abandoned. Now is the time when they are at their weakest.
Hearing his words, the team suddenly became a mess. Someone had already vaguely guessed what Harrow meant. Looking at their flustered appearance, Harrow sighed. He knew that the road was over, and with the current team, it was impossible to resist the sand thieves, and they couldn't even escape. I'm afraid they're all going to die here.
The thought of the style of the sand pirates made Harrow feel a chill in his heart. But we still have to do our best. "Don't panic, immediately form a circle, women and children in the middle, and people with weapons outside, pile up all the things you are carrying, maybe you can provide some cover. We still have a chance! ”…,
Harrow shouted. Thanks to his efforts, the team finally got order. One by one, slightly frightened men walked out and began to line up as he asked.
Now even fools understand what is going to happen. But they had no way back. Because everyone knows the way, running away at this time is tantamount to suicide.
Perhaps only by following Harrow's instructions could he survive.
The travelers move quickly, and this defensive formation has been trained thousands of times. Even if you are afraid, you can do well. Seeing them quickly carry out their own orders. Harrow's heart was slightly relieved.
It's up to him now, as long as the opponent is not very strong, maybe he won't storm his brigade. Otherwise......
Harrow didn't think about it because it didn't make sense.
The sand and dust in the distance spread rapidly, and a group of locomotives had appeared on the horizon. In the distance, you can even hear the howls of the sand pirates.
The sand thieves' movements were swift as the wind, and almost as soon as they saw them, they were already approaching the brigade. With a deafening roar, hundreds of locomotives began to circle around the brigade's circle. The burly men stood on the locomotive and shouted, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands.
"Aha! Behold, a flock of fat sheep. Today is a good day! ”
"Another bunch of fools dreaming of going to Promised Land! There is no Paradise here, only Hell! ”
"Yes, let's send them to hell! Have some fun tonight! ”
A shrill shout resounded through the desert, and all the travelers turned pale.
None of them are stupid, just one look at the sand thief's posture knows that the road is finished. There are too many of them, too strong. Their locomotives are brand new, and their weapons are varied, even machine guns. And these sand thieves, armed to the teeth, desperately have no chance at all. Maybe the next moment, they will be torn to pieces by these sand thieves. Let their flesh be a supper for the sand pirates!
"Bastard! There are no fat sheep of yours here! If you want to have fun, you have to get past me! ”
Seeing that the situation was almost hopeless, Harrow roared, and suddenly clumps of scales grew on his body. In an instant, it turned into a standing lizard!
He transformed, the only weapon he had as a mutant, and the most powerful.
The next moment, he pounced on the sand thieves. In a single stroke, a sand thief was thrown off the locomotive.
Blood shot out in an instant, and the two groups of men and horses fought together in the blink of an eye.
Blood, stumps, howls, and screams paint a picture of hell in this wild desert closest to the paradise of paradise.
In the brutal battle, no one noticed that a meteor was falling above their heads......
