Text Chapter 3 Contest
The cities of Me, Kama, and Kabuchiron sandwiched the vast depraved plain in the shape of a triangle in the center, and the original agreement of the Three Cities was that it was a public area, not a private possession, but only a stronghold.
Without armed intervention, it became a safe haven for mobs, large and small settlements.
Ray leaned against the tavern in front of the tavern, tossing the dagger in boredom, it was his only weapon, and Nock not only took all his possessions but also stole his pass, otherwise he would have slipped out of the city.
After nearly two hours of waiting, Ray finally saw Nock walking slowly, with nothing on him except for a giant sword and a heavy sniper rifle, and he really didn't know where he squandered all his money last night.
"Give it back to me!" said Ray angrily.
"The money has been spent, those chicks last night had good kung fu, I'll introduce it to you next time." Nock smiled as he reminisced about last night's ten thousand styles.
Lei Bai glanced at him, snatched the document from his hand and was about to leave.
"Wait, it's dangerous to walk in the wilderness, so take this with you. ”
Nock throws the heavy sniper to Ray.
Ray caught Barrett with an incredulous expression, knowing that it was very dangerous to hand over a gun to a stranger, let alone Barrett, a heavy sniper who could easily blast through the steel plate and was worth a lot of money.
"You're not afraid of dying under my gun?" Ray couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid just now, after you asked, I was relieved, if you have this kind of plan, you will never be stupid enough to ask me to be vigilant, not to mention that I believe you made such a decision, even if you really die under your gun, I will not regret it, people live to do something, right or wrong, as long as you decide, you will do it, of course, you have to bear the result. Nock said meaningfully.
Ray was impressed by the seemingly brave and unscrupulous guy in front of him, and instead of wandering around aimlessly, he should do something with him.
"Thank you for your trust, my name is Ray, and I hope we have a good time working together. ”
Nock's trust made Ray make a decision, and it was also the first time he chose a path for his confused life, the beginning of a thorny one.
In the spring, the low-radiation rain did not affect the growth of the plants.
Along the way, Nock chattered endlessly, and Ray, who was not good at talking, just responded to him without a word, and the two became familiar with each other after a long time.
Nok knew the area well, remembered where to find drinking water, and was able to deal with several attacks by beasts before reaching the devastated stronghold.
Nok didn't hide his ability from Thunder, and the third-order strength enhancement didn't seem difficult to fight against Storm Bear. Most of the time, Ray just watched the battle from the sidelines, and with his current combat power, he just added to the chaos, and it was better to be honest.
The two arrived at the stronghold of Mocheng at noon.
"You also watched the scene and tell me what you found. "Nock deliberately tested Ray.
"There are sixteen people on the enemy side, they have heavy weapons in their hands, at least three heavy machine guns, two heavy sniper rifles and a small-caliber artillery, the leader is a third-order or higher flame control ability, the battle lasts no more than three minutes, the enemy is killed or wounded two people, and after they succeed, they run to the west. Ray rubbed his chin and thought about it and told what he had found.
Nock looked at Ray dumbfounded.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Ray asked Ray as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment when he saw Nock's expression.
"No, I'm surprised how you know so much, I wonder if you're one of them, I'm thinking about whether or not to arrest you. Nock quipped with a serious face.
Ray knew that Nock was joking, "Actually, it's not difficult, I can see their whereabouts and the changes in numbers from the footprints at the scene, from the bullet casings left on the ground, I can tell the type of weapons they have, and the stronghold can be combined with the ability analysis of the dead leader of the city to know the enemy's ability attributes and rank." ”
Nock nodded as he listened, as an old bird with rich field battles, he couldn't hide all this from his eyes, but he didn't expect the young Lei to be so careful, it seems that he has an excellent talent in tracking.
"I probably know who did it, and this is the last thing I want to see, let's go Ray, I'll show you my former partner. ”
Ray picked up his gun and followed behind Nock, and he found that Nock was depressed and silent, so it seemed that the enemy was something he knew and had a good relationship with, so he shut up and didn't ask questions.
Nock led him through the plains, arriving at a sizable settlement just before sunset.
For small armed forces, almost all settlements are open, and only by constantly absorbing new forces can the settlements be sustainable, and most cities have gone through this stage before gradually taking shape.
The two went in just through a brief cross-examination.
The wild nature of the people of the wilderness was evident from the undisguised possessiveness with which they looked at Ray's backpack full of prey materials, and if it weren't for the shock from Barrett on Ray's shoulder, I was afraid that these people would have swarmed him and ransacked him.
A full pack of materials can only be exchanged for 2 gold coins.
In fact, it is no wonder that almost all settlements do not have the ability to make genetic medicines, and the merchants at the exchange points also sell materials to laboratories in big cities through layers of channels, and the profits are diluted when they handle more.
As soon as he left the exchange point, he saw a long-distance chariot equipped with a multi-barreled machine gun speeding towards him, dragging a long brake mark and creaking to a stop, and he was no more than 50 centimeters away at this time.
This is a blatant provocation!
The driver in the driver's seat looked at Ray with a smug face, and a burly man of the same size as Nock jumped up in the back row, dressed as a standard mercenary, nearly two meters taller than Ray, wearing a black eyepatch on the left eye of a beret and knowing at a glance that it was not a good class.
"Hey, you guys forgot to pay the security tax just now!1 gold coin each!" The strong man pressed his hands in front of Lei and was only half a step away from bumping into him.
Ray didn't want to get in trouble and tried to walk away, but the man dodged in front of him.
"It's not proper, I've never heard of a settlement paying a security tax, and I don't need your protection. Ray met his gaze without the slightest hint of timidity.
"He told me the rules?!My name is Flanders, and the words of this place are the rules!Are you challenging my authority, you know?, let me ask you again, do you give it?" the strong man said to the others, causing everyone to laugh.
"I'm not going to give it to you. Once again, Ray refused.
This move directly ignited the anger of the strong man, and he punched Ray's back.
Lei had already taken precautions, and the whole person pushed backwards a meter under his feet, and as soon as he stopped, Flender's legs stopped and kicked, and he couldn't dodge Ray mobilized all his strength to cross his hands and carry it hard.
Under the impact of the huge force, the thunder flew backwards like a broken kite, and it collapsed a wall before stopping.
"Cut. That's all there is to learn how to decorate and be high!" Flemish smiled contemptuously.
Ray slowly came out of the rubble, patted the dust on his body, put down his sniper rifle, and he accelerated a few steps and jumped high to the knees and crashed into it.
Flender confidently did not dodge and raised his hand to block Ray's knee.
He underestimated the power of Lei, his feet could not withstand the impact under the collision, his knees bent and almost knelt on the ground, Lei turned over and fell behind him with the help of the force of the reverse thrust, and the knife cut his carotid artery directly at the back of his hand.
Flanders flipped over to avoid Ray's attacking foot, kicked hard, and the whole person wanted to get out of the barrel, and the cannonball spun and shot towards Thunder, while his right hand was charged to the peak and blasted out.
Lei staggered his feet slightly and twisted his waist, and his right fist was charged with a layer of blue lightning to meet his fist.
Flender was shocked, he had never seen a Domain-type capable person gather energy and power at the same time to attack at such a fast speed!
In this encounter, neither of them retained their strength, and the moment the fists collided, the energy force field that exploded and spread like a grenade forced the peripheral spectators to retreat step by step.
Both flew upside down, but Ray crouched on the ground before he landed, gasping for air.
Flanders was much more embarrassed, after he landed on the ground, he lay on the ground and couldn't move, the clothes on the right half of his body turned into strips of cloth, and his bare skin was scorched and blackened, and a wisp of smoke came out from time to time.
It looks scary, but in fact, he is not even seriously injured, it is just that the power of thunder and lightning makes him lose consciousness for a short time, and after waking up, he can recover after recuperating for half a month at most.
The Heavy in the car saw his head down, moving his multi-barreled machine gun at Ray, and when he turned on the Gatling hydraulic switch on the shore, a bright light and a strong wind whistled in front of him.
After activation, the Gatling only made an idling sound but could not fire a single bullet.
The gunner looked down and saw that the barrel of the Super Alloy Steel had been disconnected from the chamber and had fallen in half on the car. He looked at the smoke sinking into the ground, and the back of the giant sword was already in a cold sweat.
"Fred, your people are really uneducated, it's time to discipline them well. Nock walked over slowly, and there was an equally tall and burly man standing beside him, whose face looked somewhat similar to that of Flanders who had fallen to the ground.
His face turned pale, but he couldn't find a reason to attack, after all, it was his own people who provoked the trouble first.
Nock's action also showed that he didn't want to be his enemy, otherwise it would be much easier to kill the Heavy directly, but then they would not be able to communicate with each other, and killing his men in full view would violate his dignity, and there would be no room for negotiation.
"Aren't people okay now? I also lost a heavy machine gun, which is a big guy of a lot of money. Fred said bitterly, in fact, he would have preferred that it was the stupid Heavy who had broken in two, at least not so much.
"It's not good for a guy who doesn't have a chance to do it, let's go, it's not necessarily safer here than the wilderness. Nock didn't forget to laugh at Fred.
He took the shape of a tiger in his right hand, sucked the giant sword "Zheng" inserted in the ground, called thunder in his hand, and walked towards the gate of the settlement.
Fred shrugged helplessly and walked away after watching the two leave, not glancing at his brother lying on the ground the whole time.
"Say whatever you want, it's weird to look at me like this. Ray stopped and fiddled with the sniper rifle awkwardly.
"Old man Max has a really good eye, your performance in that battle just now was amazing, the first-order ability and perfect combat skills actually won Flender easily, by the way, if I didn't stop that machine gunner just now, can you handle it?"
Ray thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, but that person has to die." ”
"You're such a freak, if I don't think I'll be able to get out of it all, with your potential you should do something big, you might as well go after completing this mission. Nock said with some gloom.
"I don't understand what you mean, you tried your best to get me into the gang at the beginning. I have no memories of the past, I have always been a wanderer who has no fixed place to live, I don't know what the purpose of life is, your trust makes me feel that this world is still warm, unless I die in battle, I will not escape. ”
Nock listened to Ray's words, glanced at Ray gratefully, and Ray stopped talking.
"Did you get some clues about our mission? I guess you know what's going on behind the scenes, and that's what you're struggling with, right?" Ray simply sat down on the trunk of a nearby tree, felt for the cigarette and tossed one to Nock.
In the thick smoke, Nock's loss was not hidden.
