Chapter 377: Unusual (I)
Howard looks like he has completely changed, of course, if he doesn't observe it very deliberately, he won't find that Howard has a trace of the strong aura of the superior.
He now looked no different from ordinary soldiers, and some tattered clothes fully showed that this was an ordinary soldier who gambled badly or was lazy, and he swaggered towards the city of freedom with his rifle diagonally in the characteristic posture of a ruffian.
The Free City looks completely different from the City of Watch, and the fortifications are not of the same level, in this Free City, there is only a wooden wall built on the perimeter, and there are many collapses and damages, and there are a total of six watchtowers equipped with light machine guns in the whole city, but there are no searchlights to cooperate, and their warning range can be said to be very limited at night.
Such fortifications made Howard feel incredible, was this still the military town of Orfede he knew? It looks even more rubbish than the most rubbish town in the Judgment District. But Howard still couldn't think of any special reason for this, and finally thought that it was just a guy who was inactive by the commander here.
But everything was unusual, so Howard became more cautious.
It was dark in the city of Liberty at night, and only the commander's mind and some high-ranking officers here were lit up. It's not to save power, it's that at night, too many lights can be a target for the enemy, and for the sake of caution, no one will turn on the lights in this kind of night!
Howard walked through a plantation like a ghost. A free-range fierce mutant hound dozed under a large tree, but he was completely oblivious to Howard walking by.
The more he went, the more frightened he became, because this place was completely different from what he thought of as Orfede, it was not only a military town, but also divided into rich and slum areas, and it looked like a violent town in the Northwest that had not yet been united.
Walk through the plantations and you'll find the slums of Liberty City. Littered with shacks, dirty water pools everywhere, garbage of all kinds is piled up everywhere, there are almost no roads to speak of, and the stench is suffocating, and the whole area seems to be a big garbage dump.
Even the slums were hierarchical, with the neighborhoods of the rich populated by free-standing natives, and the middle and periphery inhabited by slaves.
Howard walked through the slums, his heart was already shocked, to be honest, it was the first time he had walked into such a place so closely, and looking at his surroundings, Howard realized for the first time what it was like for the leader to overthrow Orfede.
Howard continued to walk silently, and only by walking here would he realize that although it was night, it was not peaceful at all. Everywhere the sounds of men and women reproducing primitively were heard, and the cries of brawls and suppressed screams were heard from time to time. There were several people crowded into each shack, just big enough for them to lie down, and once someone moved a little bigger, the walls of various materials were shaking. They all had beastly instincts, and in the darkness, they looked at Howard with curious and dangerous eyes, slowly walking through the ghetto. However, Su Qin's aura frightened them more than the rifle he was carrying on his shoulder, so no one dared to mess around.
"Do you want a woman? I can do anything! And there are clean places! A girl in tattered clothes, who had just come of age, suddenly burst out of the shack and lifted her skirt in front of Howard. She wore nothing under her tattered and dirty dress, and her naked body had many scars, but it did not damage her youthful atmosphere. She tried even harder to hold up her breasts, which were unusually full compared to her thin body, hoping that Howard would be able to look at her.
Howard's heart was shaken by the girl's actions again, and he stopped and glanced at her, the shining gaze that made her take two steps back in fright.
The horror and longing in the girl's eyes made Howard even more silent, but his face was also more gloomy, indicating that he was in a very bad mood now, but he still knew what he was going to do, so he took a deep breath, and then directly raised the rifle in his hand, and turned the girl aside with the cold barrel, clearing the way forward. The rifle is more convincing than any words, so the girl has no choice but to get out of the way.
Howard continued to move on, and along the way he saw many similar scenes, and there were also those that could stimulate his mood even more, such as a girl who had not yet grown up was pulled into a corner by a dozen riffraff, and then a group of people vented their damn **** on that petite body.
Howard didn't intervene, the many battles had matured him, and his pace quickened a lot because of these, and finally he was where he wanted to go after ten minutes.
Howard's feet strained slightly, and his body flashed through the wall and into Liberty City as if he were gliding on the ice. The roads here are much more neat than outside, the roads are paved with gravel and there is very little sewage accumulation. It can be seen that at least sewers have been built in the inner part of the city.
Howard travels through the city in order to gain insight into the distribution of forces and the truth about how calm it is. But Howard finally got the message that everything was normal, and everything looked like he didn't know the battle was coming.
This result made Howard feel slightly reassured, and finally he thought about it, and then turned a corner down the street, just enough to pass a group of night watchmen, and then walked towards the command building in Liberty City.
The inside of the eight-story command building, which looked very dilapidated, was brightly lit at the moment, and when Howard walked to a distance of two hundred meters, he saw the door of the command building slowly open, and then an off-road vehicle roared out of it and drove out of the city. In an instant, Howard had already discovered that in addition to the three ordinary fighters on the off-road vehicle, there was also a person who made him frown.
It was a man, no different from the other soldiers in perception, but he was wearing a white robe, which Howard recognized as a medical doctor's garment, and the most incomprehensible thing for Howard was that even if he was far away, Howard could feel the intense excitement and anticipation emanating from the man.
Who is he? Why such emotions? Could it be that something has changed here? When these questions surfaced in Howard's mind, the man in the cab suddenly felt something and turned his head to look at Howard! But in his eyes, he saw nothing but the silhouette of a house in the dark.
The assistant muttered a few curses, continued to look ahead, and then drove away in the SUV
Howard's eyes narrowed slightly, then turned into a shadow and accelerated towards the command building.
