* Vroom! *
In the dead silence of the city, the sound of engines revving was especially loud.
Accompanied by the loud noise, the black dots on the other side got closer and finally turned into a few armored vehicles. There were even specially installed machine guns on top of the vehicles, looking quite ferocious.
"Who's there!"
They had obviously noticed Schel and his group. They drove straight towards them, and a clear shout came from the vehicles.
"We are the survivors of this city!"
Schel got out of the car and purposely emptied his hands to show his sincerity.
Most of them were wearing camouflage clothes, but the insignia on their bodies was very unfamiliar. It was not the style of any of the countries they had seen before.
"Are you … soldiers?"
Schel groaned inwardly, but he still forced himself to ask, "Where are you from?"
"Yes, we belong to the Hermit Society! The most powerful organization in the world right now! "
The few leaders looked at each other and laughed mysteriously. "I didn't think we would be so lucky to find a shelter today!"
"The Hermit Society? I've never heard of this organization. Is it a religious organization like the Church of Salvation? "
Schel's palms were covered in cold sweat, but he still forced himself to calm down and ask for information.
"Church of Salvation? No, we're not a religion! "
The leader laughed even louder. "We're not a country either. We're the rulers of the entire world! That's because we're evolved Homo Evolutis! "
"Evolved? Homo Evolutis?"
Schel immediately thought of the changes that had happened to them.
He did not expect the other party to know about it as well.
"Alright, bring us to your shelter. I'll reward you!"
The leader said in a casual tone.
"Shelter … That's very far …"
The ominous feeling in Schel's heart grew stronger. He secretly made a few gestures to the back.
"Hey! You're not being honest! "
A cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes.
* Bang! *
He did not directly make a move, but Schel held his stomach and half-knelt on the ground, as if he had been punched by an invisible enemy.
"Did you see that? That's my special ability! "
The leader stuffed the muzzle into Schel's mouth, obviously enjoying the fear and fear on the faces of the exploration team members.
"Now … tell me where your refuge is, or I'll blow your brains out!"
Seeing that their leader had used his ability to subdue Schaefer in an instant, the soldiers behind him had looks of envy in their eyes.
However, only the leader himself knew that this was the extent of his special ability. Moreover, he needed to rest for a long time after activating it. In fact, he was about the same as a Level One Reincarnator. He could barely be considered a special ability user and was considered to have broken away from the scope of ordinary people.
This was not to be underestimated. In the Hermit Society, which only focused on abilities, this was enough to separate him from the ordinary members and allow him to take on some important positions.
As the Hermit Society had made preparations beforehand, they were the most well-preserved faction in the real world. They had already begun to modify the world according to their ideals, preparing to implement the supremacy of ability users.
"Don't forget, even if you don't say anything, any of the team members behind you could betray you!"
The man grinned as he stepped forward and shoved the muzzle of his gun into Scherff's throat. "Have you thought it through? Are you going to sacrifice your hard-earned life for this?"
In fact, he was doing this more to tease them.
After all, in this state, it would be extremely difficult for Scherff to admit defeat even if he wanted to.
"Stop, I'll take you there!"
Seeing Scherff's pained expression, Lancome finally could not take it anymore and shouted.
"See, isn't this easy? Why do you have to make it so complicated? "
The leader laughed exaggeratedly and then said indifferently, "But as a punishment, I should still give you an unforgettable lesson!"
He pulled out the barrel of his gun and replaced it with a military dagger. He gestured at Scherff's face. "Tell me, what kind of mark do you want?"
Scherff stared at the man's eyes.
The man's expression was ferocious, and his eyes were red with excitement. It was obvious that this was not a well-disciplined army, but a mercenary team formed out of bestiality and lust.
From this, it could be seen that the Hermit Society behind the man was definitely not a good person. If they were brought to the sanctuary, it would definitely be a disaster!
"Hmm, I really don't like the look in your eyes!"
The leader sneered as the tip of the knife touched Scherff's eyelids. That cold and sharp touch made every hair on his back stand up.
"Hiss, hiss!"
"Hiss, hiss!"
Just then, a strange hissing sound was heard, causing the leader's expression to change.
"Leader, that mutated beast is here!"
A young mercenary shouted from inside the armored vehicle.
"I know, get the machine guns ready. We can't let it get away this time, or we'll definitely be punished when we get back!"
The leader shouted, then looked at Scherff in front of him. "Not bad … I'll use you as bait, hehe … Very suitable for you!"
"Bait? Mutated beast? "
Scherff felt that although he had escaped the misfortune of having his eyes gouged out, the danger was not over yet. Immediately, he was knocked out by a punch while Lancome screamed.
…
"Hiss, hiss!
Hiss, hiss! "
Scherff felt like he had a very uncomfortable nightmare. In the dream, he had fallen into a whirlpool filled with tentacles and mucus, and he could not break free no matter how hard he tried.
The hissing sound was incessant in his ears, causing him to feel very annoyed.
"Hiss, hiss!"
This time, the sound was even louder, directly ringing in his ears.
His whole body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, his pupils dilated, and he could not say anything.
In front of him was a giant snake that was more than ten meters long! Its mouth was open, and it seemed as if it could swallow him whole. At that moment, it was spitting out its scarlet and forked tongue, and its vertical pupils were sizing him up, as if it was filled with a desire to eat.
As for himself …
He struggled, but he could not move. His hands and feet were tied, and there was even a layer of blood on his body.
Around him, other than Lancome, the other adventurers suffered the same treatment.
"We're … bait, used to trap this strange snake?"
Scherff immediately fell into despair. "What's wrong with this world? Why has everything become so strange in such a short time? "
"Hiss, hiss!"
This monster did not seem to like eating dead meat. After confirming that its prey was still alive, it immediately circled forward and licked Scherff's body with its stinky tongue, as if it was trying to decide where to bite.
"Now's the time, attack!"
Suddenly, a loud sound exploded in the surroundings.
Tat tat! Tat tat!
The machine guns on the armored vehicles spat out tongues of fire, and an astonishing barrage of bullets swept across, landing on the strange snake's body, immediately blasting open fist-sized bloody holes.
Bang!
An adventurer next to Scherff was unlucky enough to be hit by a stray bullet. His chest exploded, and blood splattered all over Scherff.
"Wait, what kind of snake is this?"
Scherff, who was waiting for his death with his eyes wide open, was very lucky. He was not affected. Seeing that although there were bloody holes on the giant snake's body, it was obviously not seriously injured, his eyes widened again.
"Hiss, hiss!"
After being injured, the strange snake became even more frenzied. It actually abandoned the prey in its mouth and rushed towards the armored vehicles.
A layer of blood-red light appeared on its body, and the bloody wounds quickly healed, even forming a layer of protective film. It roared and suddenly whipped its tail.
Pa!
The armored vehicle that was whipped shook heavily and fell to the ground. The combatant at the machine gun position let out a scream, and was immediately swallowed by the strange snake.
"Damn it, this mutated beast is intelligent!"
After seeing a very anthropomorphic look of ridicule in the strange snake's vertical pupils, the leader finally came to a realization. "Careful, it knows that this is a trap!"
"Hiss, hiss!"
Unfortunately, this realization came too late.
A black shadow of the same size, but slightly slender, suddenly appeared behind the armored vehicles.
"Another one?"
The leader roared, "Retreat! Retreat! "
Bang!
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, the vehicle was hit by the giant snake.
One giant snake was already very terrifying. Dozens of people with firearms had a hard time dealing with it. Now that there was another one, it was simply a massacre.
"Scherff, I'm coming to save you!"
Just as Scherff was in despair, he suddenly saw a figure crawling toward him. While the armored vehicles were attracting the giant snake's attention, the figure came to his side. It was Lancome.
"Let's go!"
Lancome took out a dagger and untied Scherff. Scherff immediately grabbed her hand and quickly disappeared behind a building.
"Huff, huff …"
After running for two streets, they finally stopped, panting heavily with lingering fear in their hearts.
"What the hell is that strange snake?"
Lancome asked with a face full of fear. Even from where they were, they could still hear the roars of the giant snake and the machine guns from afar.
"It should be a mutated animal after the radiation?"
Scherff shook his head. "But that's not important. Maybe they will cause harm to our living space in the future, but definitely not now. Did you hear what that person just said?"
"Yes, the Hermit Society …"
Lancome smiled bitterly. "I really can't imagine what kind of organization they belong to.
Anyway, they definitely won't be too friendly to ordinary people! "
Scherff curled his lips. "We need to get out of the danger zone as soon as possible so that everyone can prepare!"
"The Hermit Society? I've never heard of such an organization. Since when did our country allow these organizations to ride on our heads?"
Lancome said angrily.
"Something must have happened in the middle of this!"
Scherff said with certainty.
After all, tens of thousands of people had survived the preparations in Dol City. As the higher-ups of the kingdom who had more resources and power, they should not have been completely wiped out.
