"Every hunt must be done as the last of life!" — Ben Douglas
"How many times does a person have to look up to see the sky? How many ears does a man have before he hears the cry of the people? How many lives would he have to sacrifice to know how many people would die? The answer, my friend, is floating in the air. Floating in the air! "
A green car was driving on a broken highway. It was a modified car. The steel fender with spikes all over the front of the car could easily pierce a Savage Armor Bear. The center of the car's tires was obviously lengthened as it was welded with Prismatic needling s that were as sharp as wolf teeth. They spin along with the wheels, and can mince any drive of flesh and blood.
There was even a high-speed machine gun mounted on the skylight of the car. The ammunition belt hanging from the barrel of the gun was a testament to the machine gun's performance. Although it was not a new era model, it could fire 200 rounds per minute at a speed that was enough to threaten mutated beasts and monsters.
The car was filled with deafening music, and the '60s American country music,' Gone with the Wind ', became a bit of a treat for the solo trip. However, the music drifting on the deserted road only served to accentuate the silence of the wilderness.
It was afternoon, and the sun was scorching the land. The surface of the ground had become a furnace. From afar, the rising hot air caused the ground to distort. On this quiet afternoon, no creature was willing to move on the surface under the sun, so it was the best time for a traveler to travel.
In the wilderness, no matter how good your equipment was, no one would be willing to face a group of mutated organism.
Other than the chauffeur, the car was also carrying more than a dozen passengers. There were men and women, and two children. Judging by their different complexions and faces, it was clear that this was not a family trip, but more like a group escape. This was because the shabby clothing and thin faces all showed that their daily lives were only warm enough and far from being considered rich.
"Damn it, Tai Di, if you don't turn that old record on. "Believe me, I will help you break him!"
Unlike the drivers who were shaking their heads while enjoying the music, it was obvious that some of the passengers did not like noisy music. A burly African man who was sitting on the back seat stood up. He waved his fist, revealing his white teeth and shouted loudly.
Tai Di was also the driver. He was just a kid in his twenties, wearing a yellow checked shirt and frayed jeans. He held onto the car, and without even turning his head, he said: "Gian, you can't just quietly enjoy the music. Buddy, Bob is a genius, this song is simply too great. "
"Kid, I'm not in the mood for that right now. I only know that if your bullshit music attracts living corpse or something like that, they would be happy to dig out your heart and eat it while listening to this lousy music. " The black Gian ridiculed, but his words were approved by the others.
Tai Di shook his head, muttering to himself, "A bunch of idiots who don't know how to appreciate music."
"Lad, at a time like this, let alone living corpse, even Corpse wolf would not move out. Otherwise, why do you think I chose the most difficult time of the day to travel? " Tai Di laughed and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket. He held the cigarette to his mouth, then pulled his hand back and lit it. Then the bad tobacco began to smell in the car.
The car continued on, winding roads that seemed endless. The driver was drowsy, and the passengers were all fast asleep. In turbulent times, it was a luxury and happiness to be able to sleep peacefully.
Because there was no one smoking on the road, Tai Di drove very fast, his speed reaching about 150 km/h. This stretch of road leading to Silver Tree City was still considered smooth, there would not be any unnecessary obstacles, so Tai Di was not afraid of running into anything. They came from a small residential area called Dahl, which was located at the same place as the Z7 base. The water sources in the settlement had dried up recently. If they didn't leave now, they would die from thirst.
Thus, the people from the residential area left in a group. The hundred or so people each got on seven or eight of these modified cars and went to different places. In this era, though, as long as there was no virus and no physical disability, it would be acceptable in other settlements or bases. However, other than a large base or a large company's headquarters, it was impossible to accept hundreds of outsiders at once, so the Dahl's people could only be split into groups to try their luck.
Tai Di and the others were going to use the Silver Tree City to head 3000 kilometers away to a medium-sized gathering area, which occupied a corner of the city. After many years of development, they had already restored quite a few facilities in the city, and it could be said to be the ideal place to stay. Tai Di and the others hoped that the Remte would be able to accept them, otherwise the next settlement would be very far away.
There were a dozen or so people in the car. It was unknown how many of them could survive until they were taken in elsewhere.
In the wilderness, life could wither at any time.
As he turned a bend in the canyon, the sultry air in the carriage made Tai Di's eyelids darken. But it did not stop Tai Di from seeing that there was someone on the road. Of course, the soldier dressed up and wearing a hat, the traveler who was wearing it did not look like a monster no matter how he looked at it. As for living corpse that were extremely similar to humans, Tai Di believed that they would not want to live under the sun.
The car went straight for the two travelers.
"Damn it!" Tai Di pressed on the horn frantically as he desperately stepped on the brakes.
Lun Tai let out a sharp shriek as he rubbed against the ground. However, the car that was moving at a high speed did not stop at all. Even though the brake system had been activated, the car still crashed into the passersby.
The car screamed and cursed at the same time, but Tai Di clenched his teeth and continued to stare ahead. The car and the traveler quickly approached, and the man in the military uniform quickly threw himself on his companion. The two of them rolled off the ground and just brushed past the car.
The car finally stopped by the side of the canyon. Tai Di stopped his car, immediately opening the car door, he shouted to the two of them: "Are you two okay?"
The soldier who was patting his knees and supporting his comrade up from the ground shook his head coldly. But when he looked at Tai Di and the others' cars, he walked over with his comrades.
As he walked closer, Tai Di could finally see the appearance of the soldier clearly. He was a yellow man, with a determined, knife-edged face. I don't know if my right eye was injured, but it had a black patch over it. On the soldier's shoulder lay a strange creature. The head and body were indistinguishable, and the round, unidentified creature had a pair of Z-shaped ears. It was lying on the soldier's shoulder, and the sun's heat made the creature appear weak.
The companion of the soldier was actually a petite girl. Although the cape's hat hid the woman's face deeply, the elegant blonde hair that hung down from the hat made people believe that she was a beauty.
Arriving in front of the car, the soldier asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you going to the Remte?"
"Go, we were just planning to go there." Tai Di nodded.
"Then please give us a lift. I'll pay." The soldier took his wallet out of his pocket and took out twenty dollars.
Tai Di's eyes lit up. Twenty yuan was not a small sum, it was enough for the people on the carriage to drink clean water for three days. He was about to agree when someone behind him objected, "Sorry, we won't let anyone of unknown origin get on the bus."
