Chapter 1: The Little Hunter 1

Next Chapter

The sun is setting in the west, the cold wind is rising, rolling up debris and flying all over the sky, and in the gray sky, the clouds are piled up like a ball of rotten cotton wool, depressed and decadent, just like this garbage dump like a wilderness!

Since that man-made catastrophe decades ago, the planet has decayed into the hands of its former owner, or is simply surviving. The once bustling streets and cities have been ruined on the weapons of human pride, and the national pride advocated by politicians has been trampled and ravaged by outsiders, and in the end only a rotten shell remains.

After the catastrophe, people seem to really understand the preciousness of life, survival, far more important than a qiē, so they forget their own race, their own beliefs, abandon their dignity, give up their freedom, live in the "sky", become the backup slave of the powerful empire, and the free planet, from this moment on, is no longer free, a qiē, are sealed by the roof of the sky erected high.

Inside and outside the firmament, there are two worlds, the outside radiation is everywhere, the dust never stops for a day, the temperature difference between day and night is about 30 degrees, and in the firmament, it is calm, full of flowers, many high-tech appliances that people have not seen before, filling the world and the development of society, even surpassing the world before the disaster a hundred times, because this is the current master of the planet...... Built by powerful imperial magnates!

The wind blew up the gravel, faintly revealing the uneven, potholed road, and the temperature had dropped below 0 degrees, although it was the height of summer, but it made people feel cold. In such weather, at such a moment, even the humblest slave in the city is reluctant to leave his warm nest.

"Professor, it's getting dark, we should go back. We have now crossed Area A and entered the dangerous Area B, which is extremely dangerous after dark, and we dare not guarantee your safety 100%. At the edge of this windy and sandy abandoned valley, there were three people walking at this moment, one in the middle was dressed in a suit, wearing glasses, looking like an intellectual, two people on either side, at first glance were mercenaries in charge of his safety, two of them were holding automatic rifles, but their expressions were slightly nervous, no one knew better than them how terrible the night was in this wasteland.

Unlike the fragility of humans, animals seem to be born to be the darlings of nature, always the most adaptable to changes in the new environment, radiation kills the vast majority of creatures, but also allows a very small number of creatures to evolve, especially without the greedy human predators, the speed of these animals to reproduce is absolutely terrifying. Someone once said that inside the firmament, there is the world of human beings, and outside the firmament, there is the world of mutated creatures!

Although they were carrying hot weapons, the two mercenaries were at a loss, and they couldn't help but remind them as they watched the professor go deeper.

The professor was about fifty years old, looked a little anemic, his face was pale, but his eyes were extremely bright, he was looking at the valley in front of him with some surprise, and said: "Do you think my hundred battle wolf coins are so easy to earn? But don't be afraid, we have arrived at our destination, you wait for me here, I'll go to the front and have a look." ”

The two mercenaries glanced at each other and smiled helplessly, who asked the professor to offer such a high price, 100 wolf coins, which is enough for the two of them to live comfortably for half a year, for this task, any effort is worth it. It's just that the two of them don't understand, what is it worth teaching such a noble person to take risks in this valley where waste is piled up?

The professor looked at the dim sky and quickened his pace, his hands trembling slightly, seemingly calm on the surface, but nervous on the inside.

The two mercenaries used a standard posture to vigilantly defend the surroundings, the seemingly calm valley, no one knew what kind of danger was hidden in it, and the faint fear in their hearts was the source of their nervousness, and the intuition of the former soldiers became more acute after being a mercenary.

Outside the sky, there are many scattered garbage dumps, an abandoned planet, what can you do except to be used as a garbage dump and raise a few slaves? However, the people living in the garbage dump are not necessarily real slaves, and some fighters who are unwilling to lose their freedom would rather live in the radiation zone than go to the city to be slaves who have lost their dignity!

Natural selection, no matter how harsh the environment is, it can also raise unyielding creatures, and beyond the sky, what is more terrible than mutated beasts is people.

They are true fighters and real beasts!

"Who's where? Come out, I've seen you, and if you don't come out, I'll shoot." ”

Maybe it was to embolden himself, or maybe he really found something, a mercenary pointed his gun at a place and shouted loudly, and from his exposed hands, you could see how nervous he was at the moment. The mercenaries are deeply aware of the horror of the desolate people, they are a group of mutated beasts lurking outside the sky, fierce and tyrannical, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Sou!

At this moment, this roar was mixed with the whimpering wind, and it still gave people a terrifying feeling that their souls were about to be torn apart.

The mercenary looked at the penetrating protective suit in disbelief, and even showed a section of the stainless steel arrow shaft on his back, a trace of confusion and incomprehension flashed in his eyes, but the color in his pupils quickly collapsed, and finally became a dead silence, his legs fell to his knees, and his sturdy body slammed to the ground, silent.

The sharp arrow passes through the heart, and the precision is incomparable.

Puff puff!

"Professor, be careful!"

A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the other mercenary, but he did not find any trace of the enemy, he just shot in the direction he estimated, iron filings flew everywhere, sparks jumped, and the crisp sound of gunfire came from afar, but he did not even touch a single hair of the enemy, and he ran towards the professor, and shot from time to time. But the enemy is like a dormant beast, waiting for the best time to hunt.

The fanaticism in the professor's eyes had subsided slightly, but there was not much fear, he had already taken refuge in a pile of scrap metal, and his wise eyes were a little puzzled and a little annoyed.

Whoosh!

Finally, when the mercenary was approaching the professor, the hidden enemy struck again, and the beast attacked, so naturally the best time was chosen. The iron arrow broke through the air at an astonishing speed, but it was not as accurate as the first arrow, after all, the mercenary was moving at high speed, and it was not easy to hit, but there was still an arrow piercing into his right arm, and with a thud, the automatic rifle in his hand flew out of his hand, and the whole person fell to the ground under the impact of huge inertial force, like a broken sack.

The professor looked at this scene in amazement, and wanted to say something, but found that he could not utter a complete sentence in his mouth, and could only utter a few meaningless syllables.
