Chapter 25: The Last Fortress
After a short period of collecting supplies, the convoy set off. Unfortunately, most of the road was cut off, and Kajah had to direct the convoy to go around the road from the other side without going around the edge of the crater. The only thing they need to be wary of are mutant beasts hiding in the grasslands, attacks from the sky, and the unseen threat of heat.
The buses were not suitable for driving on the steppe, the wheels were trapped in the mud, and they had to resort to the most stupid methods.
Cart!
For this reason, the two capable people lost their lives, and the attack was not a mutant beast, but some kind of highly poisonous mutant plant on the grassland, and the poisoned capable people made everyone helpless, so they could only let them die of poison and throw their corpses into the wilderness. Anyway, it's a group of ordinary capable people, and it's not their own group, who cares?
However, because no one is willing to go down to push the cart, but what if they are unwilling, can they stay here, with the efforts of everyone, the bus left the grassland smoothly.
The convoy slowly climbed the road, and there was still a long journey ahead. Led by the Kaja men, they drove along the road, and it was so hot that even with the curtains down, the driving was still fifty degrees hot, a temperature that was enough to kill people from dehydration.
However, the physique of the capable people is different from that of ordinary people, they are still very resistant to heat, and many people in the car look lethargic, and high temperature and dehydration can take their lives at any time.
Along the way, the car stopped twice, once to change drivers, and the other to rest in place. Kajah had all the cars surround the city in a circle, to defend themselves against attacks from all directions, and to create some cool shadows so that they could have a place to rest.
Direct sunlight seemed like a joke, and most people were more likely to hide in the carriage than to come out and get dried in the city. Under the high temperature baking, the body's water began to drain a lot, replenishing water is very important, two unlucky to fall asleep, almost lost their lives due to dehydration, fortunately the companion next to them saved their lives.
During the break, the convoy was attacked by mutant beasts, which was not to be feared. A group of long-range abilities, after a group attack, a large number of mutant birds in the sky were killed, and the feathers in the sky flew everywhere. The remaining mutant birds escaped by chance, thus laying a curse for the convoy.
The mutant bird is like a stubborn old man, as long as he does not die after one attack; The next time, they will bring more companions, like troublesome manufacturing machines, constantly pestering the convoy.
The travel time is getting longer and longer, and people's abilities are limited, and Li Xin can't help but take a breath.
Towards the end of the road, Kaga's car exchange route, they drove through a bush of grass. The ground was muddy and bumpy, and Kaga didn't care about those who couldn't keep up.
This seemingly long journey can be regarded as a test.
If this test can't be sustained, how can you survive in the final fortress? As for the abandoned guys, if they are lucky, they can still find a way to survive along the trajectory of the convoy, otherwise they will only face death in the vast suburbs.
The road is long, but the shadow of the city is near.
The occupants of the car scrambled to the window to get a glimpse of the final fortress. Kaga regretfully told everyone that it was just a city on the way, and the originally lively atmosphere was instantly suppressed.
Li Xin looked in the direction of the city, almost every city, there are overlord creatures. But here, for some reason, he didn't feel the breath of the monster and went out hunting, or there was no overlord in this city.
On the edge of the city, Li Xin also found a crater, the most obvious being a corner of the original city, which has disappeared.
Because of the previous case, Kaga decisively chose to let the convoy take a detour, as for the city, it has nothing to do with him, anyway, he will not enter the town to resupply.
Is the fortress finally here?
The top concern for all. It's just that this distant journey doesn't seem to have any end, and the convoy continues to move forward endlessly.
Several more people who died from the heat were left behind on the way, and everyone found that there was not much water in their hands, and they had to use it sparingly, otherwise the two dehydrated corpses would be the best case.
As for why you ask why you don't give the excess water to other people.
There are a lot of people in the car, even if there is still excess water, it is still just a drizzle, what if the water is cut off in the end, will everyone dehydrate together in this ghost place?
At this time, they can only take care of their own and try to keep themselves alive, this is what they should do, and the law of survival of the fittest will never change.
Li Xin's side is also uncomfortable, he has been driving continuously for a long time, coupled with the scorching heat, his will has been strictly tested, the vision of his eyes is blurred, the two of them are driving alternately, the high temperature is consuming their physical strength all the time, but they can't get a proper rest. The only thing he could do was to buy more time for Shihan to rest.
The mutant beasts and the high temperature have never been able to defeat them, and on this journey, another corpse has been left behind, they are not the well-traveled Kajah group, and the preparation is not thorough after all. These corpses became food to attract the attention of the mutant beasts, causing the convoy to get out of trouble.
I don't know how long it took, but the dark shadow of the city finally appeared in the distance.
Kaga explained that it was the final fortress, and the atmosphere of the team was much more lively. The borders of the city were getting closer, and the excitement was quickly suppressed. As the convoy enters the suburbs, it is greeted by a wall cut out of concrete that blocks the street and ties the buildings together.
Outside the city walls, there were also some capable people, who seemed to hear the car, and secretly stuck their heads out of the hiding place, looking in the direction of the convoy, their dim eyes full of hunger and greed.
The Kajadi convoy slowed down and threw the carcasses of several mutant beasts to the side, causing an immediate controversy, and the starving creatures immediately fought to grab a little food to satisfy their stomachs.
In the end, the fortress occupies most of the city, and the people who can't afford to pay the points can only live in the suburbs outside. They are just forced to be helpless, sometimes, a little favor, can make you feel better in the suburbs near here, so as not to be outside the next time you have no points, and stay outside to be hacked by others.
Seeing this scene, the people in the car suddenly felt a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox. He knew that many of the people in the car would eventually end up in this situation, and would never be able to stay outside and not enter the final fortress.
The main entrance soon arrived, cut from solid cement and connected to the two towers. The street was blocked, and several sentries rested in the hut in the wall, who were responsible for guarding the gate and, if necessary, sealing the entrance to prevent intruders.
Kaga seemed to be familiar with two of them, and after greeting each other, he let him go. The car was parked in the parking lot of a park near the edge of the city wall, and when they got out of the car, they found that there were many people gathered here, all kinds of modified cars, all parked here, they were all returning from all directions, the basement was very messy, and all kinds of supplies were unloaded.
These people all exude this blood and energy, and their strength is very strong, and they are all battle-hardened warriors. Among them, there were also some people who looked embarrassed, such as Ashur and his party, who were disheveled and smelled of sweat, and they were simply barbarians who came out of the forest in comparison.
"Kaga, you've brought back a lot of people!" Next to him, a fierce warrior who had just jumped off the SUV greeted Kajah, and he glanced at everyone again, staring at several beautiful women in the convoy, revealing **naked**.
"Don't look at it, your eyes are about to spit out, if you want a woman, you can spend some points." Kaga scoffed. He knew that Dog Bear was not the captain of the team, and he had limited points in his hand, so he couldn't afford to play with women, so he could only go out of the city to spend some food and have some fun.
"Are you sure you have enough points to keep everyone here for a day, though?" The bear waited fiercely for the other party, raising its claws in a disdainful motion.
"This is a problem with my team, I don't need you to worry about the bears, and there are some people you can't provoke, be careful, the province will be killed in the end." Kajia glanced at the grim reaper with a smile, and finally landed on Li Xin's body, he seemed to plan to use Li Xin's coercion to deter this guy.
"Kill me, is it possible that they still dare to do it in the city?" The man who was called the city dog bear said contemptuously. "When this group of people knows the cruelty of this city, what kind of woman, when the time comes, it will not only be a warm bed!"
"I don't have time to dwell on these issues with you, I hope to see you another day!" Kaga said maliciously, he greeted the others and went to the exchange with supplies, they needed to exchange food for points, otherwise, it wouldn't be long before these guys without points would be driven out of the city by the sentinels.
The weather is hot, pedestrians can still be seen on the streets, the city is fairly clean, there is no garbage on the roads, only a few plants that can withstand the heat, providing a small amount of shade. In comparison, Li Xin and his party seemed to be beggars who had entered the city, and their gray faces looked a little out of place.
However, their appearance did not attract the attention of others, because most of the people who live in the city are no longer surprised!
The exchange is located in a building on the street of 10th Road, with revolving glass doors, and the people inside seem to be unaffected by the sweltering heat. As soon as I passed through the door and entered the hall, a cold coolness rushed towards me, there was a refrigerator in the hall, and the smell inside was a little strange, but no one paid attention.
Only the trading crowd was allowed to go out here, and the other guys who tried to cool off here were chased away by the sentinels.
Kajia began to explain the reasons for redemption and the use of points. Cruel exchange mode, as the smiling Grim Reaper said empty gloves white-eyed wolf. The supplies they have painstakingly collected can only stay here for a few days, and if you want to become a permanent resident, you must pay a huge price, and there is a premise, you must be strong enough!
In charge of the caravan were a man and a woman, the women's appearance was not inferior to Shihan's, her face was still delicate, her body was bumpy, and she wore a short costume and a large area of skin exposed to the air, which was very eye-catching.
The man was a sturdy fellow, no less strong than the bear he had encountered before, with his coiled muscles and tall body, coupled with a breathing aura, enough to frighten the others.
The combination of the two is like Beauty and the Beast!
Staying in the city for a few days or leaving, after being introduced by men and women, everyone has their own choices, and it is impossible for Kaja to pay for this huge expense. When they sadly found that the food in their hands could only last for a few days, more people chose not to redeem points and left the city to live in the suburbs.
Their last hope was brutally crushed, just like Kajah said before, this is the paradise of the strong and the hell of the weak.
