Text Chapter 1 Wilderness Ruins
Spring of the year 115 of the New Era.
As temperatures warm and animals that have been dormant for a winter leave their nests one after another, this is the most dangerous time of the year, as animals that wake up from hibernation are more aggressive than ever when they are starving.
The introduction of the new calendar marks the beginning of a new era in which the wilderness man is no longer the master of the food chain. As small as a mosquito carrying the virus, as big as a giant crocodile in a quagmire, alive as an ancient python, various snakes, and other beasts can easily kill humans.
The wilderness is littered with ruins of the past, now replaced by settlements of all sizes or much smaller towns.
Clean water resources are very scarce, and there are often fierce firefights between settlements over clean water.
The least valuable thing in this era is human life!
In order to defend against the encroachment of wild beasts, the wilderness hunters were born in such an environment.
Ray walked slowly through the wilderness, and as an experienced wilderness hunter, he preferred to stay in the wilderness, where there was no hypocrisy despite the danger.
He walked cautiously in his old cloak, his backpack bulging after returning from the hunt, which was a valuable trophy that could be exchanged for at least 5 gold coins at the hunter's house in the city.
Lei suddenly stopped, and the holographic shape in his mind sensed that two people were ambushed in the grass more than ten meters away.
He didn't hesitate to turn around and leave, he knew he had encountered a wilderness bandit.
Most of the wilderness bandits are humans infected with radiation mutations, they are all thugs who have been banished into the wilderness, and they know that their time is short, they are ruthless and bloodthirsty, and they are definitely the masters of killing people without blinking.
A thick figure blocked Ray's path.
"Hey, we haven't seen a deal in days, and you still want to run?!" spoke a tall, strong white man, with all his hair falling out all over his body, and his bare upper back was covered with blackened polyps.
Two people also jumped out from behind the grass, they looked very similar and knew that they were twins, and they also saw polyps grown from the radiation of the infection.
Lei quietly touched the short knife on his waist.
"I advise you not to move, leave your backpack and we'll consider letting you go!"
"Head, why are you talking so much nonsense with him? One shot hit him, it's a pity, if it's a woman with fine skin and tender meat, I'll never kill him, hehehe......"
"What if it's a woman? That thing is rotten down there......"
Ray didn't speak, and while they were distracted, he drew his short knife and charged at the tall man at the head, and the short knife stabbed him in the heart with precision.
The man didn't expect Lei to have the courage to take the lead, but the days of licking blood under the knife didn't make him panic. Experienced, he saw that the combat power displayed by Lei was nothing more than a first-order strength enhancement.
When Ray's short knife was a few centimeters from his body, he caught it between his fingers, and could no longer advance an inch.
The twin brothers didn't interfere in the fight, and stood aside with their hands folded as if watching the play.
In their eyes, Ray was already the prey of falling into the trap, and the more he struggled, the more excited he became.
Lei let go of the short knife in his hand, rubbed his hands, and a ball of white light lit up from his right palm, and then slapped him on the chest, and the diffused energy turned into a power grid that wrapped the strong man and knocked him back a few meters.
Jeff looked at the charred flesh on his chest in disbelief, he suffered a big loss for a moment of carelessness, several wounds on his body kept burning pain, and the black sarcoma overflowed with black blood, which made him angry.
He urged his strength to reach its peak, and after a few small jumps, it hit Ray's head
Thunder didn't retreat, but rolled forward to avoid the attack, and then reflexively punched Jeff in the back, and the burst of electricity caused him to lose the ability to fight back for a short time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei quickly moved two steps to the right, grabbed his thighs and slammed them to the ground twice, and then threw him onto the twins to stop the two from advancing.
The two of them stiffly stopped their pace and caught the flying Jeff.
Although he was defeated by Lei twice in a row and was injured, it was not serious and did not affect his combat ability, but he had to re-examine Lei, who seemed to be mediocre in strength.
The performance of this white and thin oriental youth in the battle was too terrifying, and he remained calm in the face of the siege of the three people, and he could always find the best position and timing to attack.
"Let's go together!This kid is very slippery, kill him!" After feeling the threat of thunder, he panicked a little, his second-order combat power was actually forced to this one!
The Gray brothers nodded solemnly, and they could also see that Ray was unusual.
The three of them have been entrenched in this area for half a year, and no less than thirty revenants have died at their hands, and the nearby city of Mo has already listed them as the target of the target for a bounty of up to 30 gold coins.
Jeff pounced on Ray first, and the Gray brothers leaned down and attacked from different directions like leopards.
Lei quickly flashed through the three of them, and after several combined attacks, his physical strength was also very high, and the energy stored in the Energy Spring could only sustain one attack, so he kept it and waited for the best time.
The addition of the Gray brothers was very detrimental to Ray's containment, and the combat power shown by the tacit cooperation of the two was no worse than Jeff's, and several of Ray's threatening attacks were skillfully resolved.
It is very rare to be able to hold out for so long with the disadvantage of one against three, and there are already multiple wounds on Ray's body, especially the left collarbone where Jeff forcibly deducted a piece of flesh, and half of his body was stained red with blood.
Ray gathered all the power of lightning into his right fist and slammed it into the face of one of the Gray brothers.
Although the power of the first-order thunder and lightning is not very powerful, it can still kill people if it hits the vital point at close range.
The guy fell to the ground after being knocked away, convulsing and then stopped moving, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive.
After taking out an enemy, Ray was unable to struggle, was hit in the chest by an elbow, and the whole person flew upside down before he could land before Jeff grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air.
Ray subconsciously wanted to break the fingers that were holding his throat, but no matter how hard he tried, Jeff's hand still didn't move.
Lei, who was in a state of lack of oxygen, his face turned red, like a fish about to die of thirst, and opened its mouth wide but could not breathe in a breath of air.
Everything in front of me gradually became blurry and blackened.
Ray suddenly had some sporadic fragments in his mind, and he saw that he was tied to the bed, and his body was full of various instrument catheters, and several people in white coats were constantly fiddling with him.
No matter how hard Ray tried, he couldn't see their faces clearly.
Jeff kept increasing his strength, and in five seconds at most, he was finished.
Suddenly, a faint golden light shone from Lei's chest, and Lei, who was about to fall into shock, felt that his paralyzed body was re-injected with power, and the power of thunder and lightning in the dried up sea spring also became surging.
Jeff was taken aback when he saw the vision on Ray's body, and the strength in his hand was increased to the maximum, and there was a clicking sound in Ray's neck.
The power of thunder and lightning uncontrollably emanated from Thunder's body, and all of it was sucked into the place where the chest glowed!
"Shoot! if we don't kill him, we'll all die!" Jeff shouted in horror at one of the surviving Gray brothers.
Ray was squishy and didn't struggle, but the danger Jeff felt was unprecedented.
"Bang bang bang" Brother Gray fired three shots at Ray's head in a row, and at the same time, the golden light on Ray's body formed a layer of shield, and the bullet could not penetrate until the power was exhausted, injuring Ray.
"Roar", a roar came from afar, and the birds and beasts were scattered.
The power of thunder and lightning erupted on Lei's body, and the fighting thunder and lightning rushed into the sky, forming a huge image of a green dragon roaring in the sky.
Before Jeff could understand what was happening, he was overwhelmed by a sudden burst of energy and turned into ashes!
Thunder fell to the ground weakly, gasping for breath, everything in front of him became clear as the oxygen was inhaled.
Gray Sedley's hand holding the gun trembled, and he watched Ray slowly stand up and scream in horror and run away, not even having the courage to shoot, let alone care about his brother lying on the ground.
Ray picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and threw it at his distant back, and a white light in the sunlight went straight into Gray Seidley's back, and he fell limp in the grass.
Rayla saw the clothes on his body, and an oriental green dragon gradually appeared and disappeared on his chest, and then a round black pattern appeared, and the strange symbol disappeared immediately.
