Their speed was extremely fast. Although they were unable to match up to the new humans, they were much faster than ordinary humans when using all four limbs. At this moment, they were like a swarm of locusts, crazily rummaging through the tall mountain of rubbish, searching for anything they could use, as well as the most important food.
The vagrant, who had been sleeping by the side, was the first to join in the search. Compared to the other mutated refugees, he was undoubtedly more nimble and had greater strength, allowing him to rummage through the rubbish even faster. The mutated humans kept their distance from him, appearing to have suffered at his hands before, causing them to feel some fear towards him.
Very quickly, he managed to find a can of luncheon meat. It was already more than half empty, with the remnants still covered in a layer of oily green mould, giving off a pungent smell. However, to the refugees, this was already an absolute delicacy. Countless pairs of eyes that were filled with fear and dread when they looked at him earlier had now turned green and sinister.
Stabbing his finger into the can, the vagrant dug out a piece of rotting luncheon meat. The pungent smell caused the surrounding mutated humans to be unable to restrain themselves in an instant.
"Ao ao!" Two of the mutated humans closest to the vagrant lunged crazily towards him, completely forgetting about the lesson they had just learned, with the half-eaten can of luncheon meat in their eyes.
Bang!
The vagrant sent a fierce kick out, the astonishing strength of his leg causing the fellow on the left to be sent flying. However, at the same time, the mutated human on the right had already lunged towards his back.
Perhaps due to the fact that he had been starving for a long time, the vagrant, who appeared to be rather strong, was unexpectedly pounced on. Two pustules covered arms emitting a foul stench grabbed onto the vagrant's neck with all their might, causing the vagrant to lose his footing and fall to the ground. Immediately, 7 to 8 other mutated humans surged towards him with crazed red eyes.
Wrenching arms, pulling legs, biting down on him, these mutated humans were as crazy as wild beasts.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" The vagrant's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, appearing as though he wanted to vent out all of the frustration he had accumulated over the past few days.
Soul Power rippled out from his body. Unexpectedly, he was a Casted Soul Stage soldier! Powerful strength gushed out from his left hand, causing him to lift the mutated human hanging on his arm, before viciously sweeping him away.
Bang bang bang bang!
Three or four mutants that were pouncing on him were instantly swept away by him. The vagrant had gone berserk, and the pair of arms that were strangling his neck almost suffocated him. He opened his mouth wide and bit down viciously, actually biting a large hole in the arm. Jet-Black, green mutant blood instantly splattered everywhere. The mutant screamed in pain, and the strength in his arm decreased slightly.
The vagrant stood up, grabbed the neck of the mutated human with his left hand, and flung him forward.
Boom!
He knocked down another four or five people, but this was not enough to scare off the mutated humans who had already been stimulated by the luncheon meat. Another four or five people surrounded him from all directions. At the same time, even more mutated humans were getting restless, their eyes filled with killing intent.
This vagrant had already been here for over 10 days, and had snatched quite a number of things that should have belonged to them. This caused the mutated humans to be furious. Previously, they had been unable to defeat him, so they were somewhat fearful of him. However, now that everyone had their eyes on him, the more people there were, the more courage they had. Coupled with the stimulation of the luncheon meat, the murderous intent of this group of people had been ignited.
Even more people pounced forward, biting, kicking, or clawing at the vagrant in an attempt to tear him apart. Although this vagrant had clearly trained in martial arts, he wasn't proficient in it. At the start, there was still some order to his defence, and one could tell that he had used some martial arts. However, as the number of people surrounding him gradually increased, and as his stamina and exhaustion piled up, his attacks became messy. Very quickly, he was riddled with injuries and bites.
In this berserk atmosphere, it was either kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy!
The vagrant had also gone berserk. Although he no longer had any order to his attacks, he was strong and nimble. Furthermore, he was even more vicious than these mutated humans that had lived their entire lives in the rubbish dump!
A mutated human bit his arm. With bloodshot eyes, he immediately retaliated and bit off the person's stinky ear. A mutated human hugged his thigh, and the vagrant frantically pressed his entire body against it. Ignoring the other attacks around him, he waved his fists and directly punched the mutated human's chest, causing it to cave in.
The battle quickly came to an end. The vagrant was covered in blood. Some of it was his, some of it was the mutated human's, some of it was red, and some of it was green.
He was pressing on top of a mutated human, and his entire body was trembling. There was a large piece of rotten meat in his mouth, which he had bitten off directly from the face of the mutated human.
The mutated human covered his face and screamed in pain. In the surroundings, there were already more than 10 people lying on the ground. The vagrant spat out the piece of rotten meat on the ground. His eyes emitted a crazed red light as he looked around.
His ferocious gaze swept across the surroundings, and towards the surrounding mutated humans that were still restless, it was as if he was silently roaring and demonstrating his might.
All the mutated humans quietened down and stopped their restless footsteps. None of them dared to come forward again.
The tyrannical ones were afraid of the reckless ones, the reckless ones were afraid of the reckless ones, and the reckless ones were afraid of the crazy ones.
He even dared to bite the rotten meat of the mutated humans that carried the stench and endless virus. What else was there that he didn't dare to do? Even the mutated humans weren't this crazy.
The eyes of all the mutated humans were filled with deep fear. Cowardice had always been their innate talent. Just now, they had only been stimulated by the food. They had always bullied the weak and never challenged the strong.
The vagrant dragged his injured and exhausted body and climbed up from the body of the mutated human. He looked around, and wherever his gaze passed, all the mutated humans retreated.
Gulp …
In front of all the mutated humans, he opened the can of luncheon meat and ate it all. He even licked the shell of the can until there was nothing left. The mutated humans drooled as they stared at him, but none of them dared to make a sound. The vagrant seemed to have eaten his fill, or perhaps the battle just now had left him with no more energy to continue searching.
He limped back to his original sleeping place, which was next to the garbage dump. Then, he wrapped a tattered blanket around himself and lay down.
The surroundings quietened down as the vagrant listened to the movements around him. Very quickly, the rustling sounds of the trash rummaging could be heard once again, as though the battle just now had never happened.
"Heh …" A self-mocking laugh came out from the vagrant's throat. The glow in his blood-red eyes dimmed and turned turbid, filled with deep despair and emptiness.
He closed his eyes.
The scene from ten days ago appeared in his mind.
"After the unanimous verdict of the Federation's parliament, the Tianjing Overwatch Council's inspector general, as well as dozens of jurors, the verdict is as follows."
"Ma Dong, you have been convicted of stealing Federation secrets, bribing high ranking officials of the Dimension Research Institute, and organizing the construction of a new city. You will be stripped of your Federation citizenship rights, stripped of all your illegally obtained property, and exiled to the wilderness. You will be ordered to leave Tianjing City within a day, and are prohibited from appealing. This verdict will take effect immediately!"
He had finally walked out of the musty prison cell. It had been a long time since he had seen the sun, but Ma Dong's mood was even heavier than when he had stayed in the prison cell.
