Chapter 8 Hold Your Hand

The thick cloud of radiation finally opened a crack, allowing blood-like sunlight to spray down.

It's sunset again.

On the desperately vast plains, two off-road vehicles crawl slowly on the ground like two ants.

The rare sunset dyed a qiē on the plain red, and even Suna's blue eyes had a faint red. Only Medirri's eyes were still blue, she sat quietly, looking at the bloody sunset half-hanging in the sky, her little face was tranquil and faint, but it would make people feel an inexplicable heartache.

The sunset is like blood, and it is so red that it is a poignant color that leads to despair.

The sunlight of this era cannot be seen directly, and strong rays can blind the eyes of humans in the old era. In the car behind, Rigoray and Lido donned tactical glasses with a light filter. Quinn was resting in the back of his room, having repaired the barrel of his EMG rifle, which had exhausted his scarce body.

Su held on to the steering wheel and let the off-road vehicle carry him, all the way to the west.

This is a lonely and long journey, and the once familiar qiē is left behind, and I don't know how many years and months I can return to the place where countless good memories are kept.

I heard that far ahead, there is also a vast sea.

As the sun sets, darkness reigns over the land.

The off-road vehicle drove calmly in the dark, and the body shook regularly. The wheelhouse was dark, but full of the familiar smell of Medirli, the smell of Sue. In her keen perception, Sue's taste was not the same as it had been eight years ago, and even now, it was different from a few days. Now there was weakness in the aura he exuded, and at the same time, an indiscernible rancid stench escaping from under the tightly wrapped bandages.

Sue didn't smell as good as before, but it made Medirri even more willing to get closer.

She closed her eyes, slowly stretched out, and rested her head gently on Sue's shoulder. The long gray hair fell like a cloud, and occasionally a few bits of starlight escaped from the fluttering, swirling and flying in the cab, decorating this small space like a fairy tale.

Through her clothes, Sue could also feel Medirri's temperature, her gradual relaxation, and her gradual slumber into her body. So he slowed down, smiled, and drove in silence into the endless distance.

Medirri was asleep, and she couldn't remember the last time she had fallen asleep before she slept in the bloody coffin. In the days and nights of sitting alone in the town of Judgment, in the seemingly never-ending darkness, coldness, and loneliness, she consciously forgot something, some soft memories.

In her deep sleep, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

When the dawn rose again, on the horizon, Sue saw the billowing dust and smoke, several armed motorcycles rushing out of the dawn, wild tires pulling out a long line of smoke and dust behind them. The bikers were loaded with a variety of old-time weapons at both ends, and the muscular riders on the bikers wore dark leather garments embellished with spikes, just like the bikers of the old days. However, the most important thing is that there is a mark on the motorcycle or on the body of these knights, which is a large sword that floats on the water.

Behind Su is a large no-man's land, without any resources to speak of. Food, water, energy, minerals, nothing. So he judged that this motorcycle team should be a patrol of some big force. Judging from the size of the patrol, this force should be very large, and there are a lot of territory and resources to control zhì, but it seems that there is still a gap between the level of technology and the Dark Dragoon, and it may not even be as good as the Brotherhood of Alloy that I have seen on the road.

Such an organization and force are exactly what Su wants.

Four motorcycles roared and quickly formed formation, two of them outflanked from a distance, and the other two stopped in front of the off-road vehicles, and the machine guns on the sides of the vehicles began to spew tongues of fire, and the bullets shot out a canopy of dirt in front of the off-road vehicles.

Su Sha stopped the car, and Rigolei drove another car slowly forward, stopping next to Sue. Then Su and Hu got out of the car and coldly glanced at the six knights surrounding him.

A rider jumped out of the back seat of the motorcycle, approached the strong man who was still sitting on an old Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and whispered, "Captain, these guys don't look easy to deal with, look at the gun on that guy's back!" ”

The strong man's hair and thick beard were a little gray, and he looked a little older, and the tattoos on his thick arms had been blurred by the erosion of time. He only wore a black leather vest, exposing his well-developed muscles, somewhat showing off and demonstrating. He squinted his eyes and landed on the strange and huge rifle in Su's hand, the metal of the barrel shining with a faint glow, reminding him that this was by no means the same era as the machine gun in his hand.

Although the people who got out of the two buggies were surrounded and pointed at numerous guns, there was no nervousness on their faces, but they could find some pity. The corners of the strong man's eyes twitched, and years of experience told him that this was a sign of danger.

He jumped off his motorcycle and stood firmly on the ground. Despite his large body and the impression of being sluggish, he has two levels of agility and can teach anyone who dares to despise him a profound lesson. Of course, the group of people who are surrounded in front of them is likely to be an exception.

"Hey boys, take it easy, put your guns down!" He shouted.

His patrol knights reluctantly lowered their guns, not for anything else, but out of fear. In front of Sue and his henchmen, these murderous guys don't have the slightest sense of security.

The strong man hung the light machine gun behind his back, walked up to Sue, raised his free hands, signaled that there was no hostility, and then said, "Young man, my name is Jack." You can call me Scythe Jack! Don't worry, these lads are just a little nervous, they're all good guys. ”

Looking at Jack's outstretched hand, Sue hesitated for a moment, then also stretched out his right hand, shook it with Jack, and then said, "I'm Sue." ”

"Sue?" Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a rare name, but it's nice too." Either way, welcome to the territory of the Blade of Perdition! ”

The two hands shook together for a few seconds and then parted. Jack increased the afterburner slightly, but he felt that no matter how much power he used, it was like a stone sinking into the sea on Suna's somewhat soft and slippery hands, and there was no reaction at all. He immediately didn't dare to increase his strength, let alone use his second-order strength to strengthen it. If he did, he wondered if it would be interpreted as a sign of hostility by the young man in front of him with a very beautiful smile.

Sue's outfit was peculiar, with tight bandages under her open combat jacket. At such a close distance, Jack could clearly see the details of the 2-meter-long bizarre rifle in Sue's hand, and he was even more sure that this must be an energy rifle that was ahead of his time. As for how powerful it was, he didn't want to try it at all.

"It's rare to see anyone coming from this direction, in fact, it's been a whole year since anyone came from the east. It's a real no-man's land, and of course, it's not a problem for you. So now, what can I do to help you? Jack's attitude is like that of an old friend for many years.

Su pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, we are a mercenary squad. Now I need food, water and a couple of quiet rooms, preferably with intelligence around. ”

The corners of Jack's eyes jumped again, he laughed, and said calmly: "Everything you want can be found in our Sinking Blade!" I'll build yì you go to Midnight City to have a look, since you are mercenaries, then you can find enough money-making opportunities in Midnight City. Drive 50 kilometers west from here and you'll be able to see our Midnight City. I'll send you there, those over-energetic lads in Midnight City are prone to misunderstandings with outsiders. ”

Sue smiled and didn't refuse Jack's offer.

Watching Su and Hu get into the off-road vehicle, Jack turned around and walked towards his motorcycle. A tall man who looked very young followed behind Jack and asked in a low voice, "Captain, these guys look very oily, should we ......"

Jack glanced at him indifferently and said slowly, "No matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to spend it." ”

Taken a look at by Jack, who looked very good-tempered, the tall young man couldn't help but tremble and took a step back!

Jack's nickname can't be wrong, it's just two words missing, Jack the Vampire Scythe.

The convoy set off again, this time with three moths around the two SUVs, and Jack sent one of his men to Midnight City to report the news, while he drove side by side with Sue's SUV on his motorcycle, chatting like an old friend.

The Blade of Destruction is a corporate-like organization ruled by a Council of Five, with voting rights allocated every three years based on strength and contribution, and headquartered in Midnight City. Midnight City is a large city with a population of tens of thousands, located in the center of several nearby powers, known for its entertainment and trade. Midnight City has a small nuclear power plant as an energy supply, an independent water purification system, and the most surprising thing for Su is that the Blade of Destruction actually has a super large indoor farm! Food and water supply can be exported in large quantities in addition to feeding the city's tens of thousands of inhabitants. Midnight City relied on these two necessities to exchange weapons, medicines, and mineral resources with surrounding forces.

With such a dazzling resource, the Blade of Perdition was able to stand tall among the surrounding forces, naturally because it had enough force to deter the surrounding forces. As Su had seen, one of the perimeter patrol squads of the Fallen Blade was well equipped, and in terms of unit firepower, it far surpassed that of the original Roxerland Company. Although Jack and the others only have the ability of the second order and the first order, but after they are fully equipped, their overall combat effectiveness is quite good, and they can be regarded as a first-class force even among the servants of the Dark Dragoon.

From Jack and the others, Sue smelled a strong bloody smell, and it was obvious that everyone in this team was a veteran who had killed many people. That's what Jack means by being a good boy.

Fifty kilometers of road is not a long one, and in less than an hour, a city comes into view.
