C90 Entering
The sudden prickling sensation on his skin made Zero bounce up from the floor. The two guns were already in his hands, ready to fire at any time.
But the hotel room was completely silent. Moni and Lara hugged each other and slept on the bed, breathing evenly. Outside the window, cheers and curses could be heard continuously from the direction of the central plaza. It seemed like Campbell's performance had been rather popular.
Zero walked over to the window. There was a faint sense of danger in the air. He frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't think where it came from.
However, Zero believed in his instincts, so he pushed the Sniper Bullet into the Colt's gun barrel. After some thought, he took out the bullet again. He held the bullet in his hand while his palm emitted a faint red glow. The red water flowed like water and was then completely poured into the bullet. The Sniper Bullet was covered with a red glow pattern, which disappeared in a flash. However, once the bullet hit the target, it would trigger Su's explosion.
This was the only way he had at the moment to use this kind of element ability. Although the power of the explosion was less than one-third that of the fragment grenade, the ability of the explosion after hitting the target could increase the power of normal Sniper Bullet by roughly twofold.
Zero pressed this special bullet into the barrel of the gun and then sat by the window, looking at the artificial lighting flowing through the ancient style of the city, silently waiting for danger to descend.
Campbell was very happy.
Anyone who could earn close to a thousand yuan in one night would be as happy as Campbell. Furthermore, Campbell did not even need to sell any goods to earn this amount of money. The only thing he used up was the stamina of the Bechymos.
The performance that was held in the central plaza was in fact a display of the Bechymos. The gigantic beast was trapped in a wider cage, which allowed the Bechymos to freely move about in it. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Arctic Fox used their electric whips to whip the cage. Through the cage's electrical conductivity, the Bechymos in the cage was constantly subjected to electric shocks. It was just that the electric whip wasn't releasing the high voltage current, so its functions weren't paralyzed.
However, the beast was successfully enraged. It used its roars and the buzzing sounds of its electric claws to show the residents of Titan City its ferocity.
The people who came to watch tonight were all adult male residents of the city. Women and children were not allowed to attend such gatherings. So now the central square was a sea of men and beer.
Of course, Campbell would not let go of this chance to earn money. After collecting a fee to watch the Bechymos perform, Campbell added another program. It was to challenge the Bechymos, and the challenger had to pay a fee. If the challenger were to defeat the Bechymos, Campbell would pay ten times the reward.
The people of Titan City were naturally strong, and Campbell's bounty stung the eyes of these men. The men who advocated the Spartan style of education practically fought to be the first to challenge the gigantic beast, the Bechymos.
Amongst all these, there was no lack of people who had mutated Su's ability. Although their abilities were all around the second or third stage, most of the beasts that could transform were bears or leopards. But without exception, other than increasing Campbell's income, they could only gain countless wounds from the Bechymos's lightning claws. Even so, the men continued to enjoy themselves.
It was a crazy night. The scorching sound wave from the central plaza made the Titan City's soldiers itch. The blood boiling in their bodies made the soldiers wish that they could go down and challenge the Mutated beast s that they had never seen before. Hence, the excessive excitement did not bother them. Tonight, their superior was acting a little strange.
Cobb was the city guard captain in charge of defense for the Titan City. He liked alcohol, cigarettes and women. He was no different from the other Spartan men in the Titan City. But tonight, it was much quieter than usual, ever since he and his aide-de-camp, the mad dog, had returned from smoking in the wilderness.
The first thing Cobb did after he returned was to give the soldiers a break. Other than the three who were responsible for managing the base's entrance and landing platform, the other soldiers of the city guard team all got a precious night of rest. This made the soldiers cheer, and no one noticed that Cobb's eyes were a lot more cloudy than usual.
After the soldiers left, Cobb suddenly asked one of his subordinates, "Open the entrance?"
The soldier thought he had misheard and asked, "Chief, what did you say?"
"I said open the entrance." Cobb repeated.
The three soldiers looked at each other. The one who was called said, "Chief, what's the point of opening the entrance now?"
"So much nonsense." Cobb suddenly stepped forward and placed a hand on his subordinate's shoulder.
All of a sudden, the soldier heard a low voice in his mind. "Do as I say. Open the entrance!"
The soldier's eyes immediately clouded up like Cobb's, and he began mechanical manipulation. Watching as the soldier typed in a series of commands, the Two Soldiers who seemed to sense that something was amiss stood up.
Cobb suddenly made his move, firing two shots from a distance of less than three meters. The bullets hit the young soldier's body. They didn't even have the chance to use their most powerful mutation ability before they laid down in confusion.
However, the soldiers controlling the platform turned a blind eye. Under his control, the elevator at the entrance of Titan City slowly opened, and a team of strange people entered the city. If the soldiers were conscious, he would have discovered that these people were the infamous wolf bandits in the wilderness.
The wolf thief drove the SUV and modified locomotive out of the elevator, and Chi Lang was surprisingly inside. The leader of the bandits narrowed his eyes and looked towards the central plaza as he said loudly, "Listen, we will create chaos there to attract the attention of the city's Magistrate and soldiers. As for Gui Hu, you have twenty minutes. During this time, you guys better bring as many of Titan City's brats as possible with you. "
"Understood, boss."
Gui Hu made a "OK" gesture, and then muttered to himself, "Interlinked mental hints are really not people's work". As he said that, Gui Hu walked into the elevator. Beside the elevator door, there was a skinny man wearing the uniform of the Titan City city guards. Seeing Gui Hu walking over, the man excitedly licked his tongue.
Gui Hu laughed strangely and threw a bag of money to the man, saying: "Get lost you crazy dog, you better run far away. Otherwise, if the people of Titan City find out that you betrayed them, they might even skin you alive. "
This person was precisely Mad Dog. It was he who had tricked Cobb into the wilderness, and then let Gui Hu give Cobb a mental hint, thus diverting the soldiers and letting the Wolf Thief in. Chi Lang had coveted the children of the Titan City that had potential for mutation for a long time. This kind of brat could be sold to the black market merchants. They would be trained to be good soldiers, and soldiers like the Da Xia Kingdom or the West Continent's Sacred Kingdom would need them.
In this world, war did not happen only in Mainland continent. War raged on in the other two continents all year round. For children like the Titan City to become outstanding soldiers meant that they could be sold for a good price. And even children without potential could be sold as slaves or labourers. To Chi Lang, this was a business that would never lose anything.
It was just that the Titan City was not a wilderness place, and the wolves did not come just because they said so. After half a year of planning, only then did the thief, through the man named Mad Dog, make a gap in Titan City's metal barrel. Therefore, Chi Lang decided to go all out tonight!
