Chapter 496 We must seek justice!
It is located on the north side of the truck that was snatched by Shen Bei.
A convoy was moving forward among the ruins.
Leading the way was a heavily armored military off-road vehicle equipped with a heavy machine gun.
Behind them were four military trucks, two of which were filled with civilians who had fled early due to the erratic policy.
At this time they were captured and brought back a car full of soldiers who were newly promoted to have special abilities.
The road was forcibly opened up by some Titan who passed by here in the past. It was just paved with some tree trunks in some depressions. It was very bumpy and the chassis of the vehicle groaned under the heavy load.
The truck's body was also shaking violently, and the captured civilians on the truck bed looked pale.
The two trucks were not only carrying civilians, but also their families.
A boy named Wang Quanli hugged his mother tightly to make her feel more comfortable.
If Shen Bei was present, he would have some impression of him. When Blue Rose led the team to conduct a transaction with the defectors' shelter on the surface, but actually to vent their anger, Shen Bei was assigned to enter the transaction site in advance to provide coordinates for the subsequent artillery bombardment.
That time, someone once said to Shen Bei, "Someone saw the corpse of the evil species" while looking up at the starry sky at night.
That person is the current Wang Quanli.
When Shen Bei first heard this "joke", he didn't take it seriously.
As time went by, Shen Bei realized that the legend circulating in the world of refugees, that the evil species could not be killed and would not die, was eighty percent true and two percent false.
What is credible is that the evil species is indeed immortal, at least the current psychics are powerless to resist.
Even the Spider Queen had to pick up the leaks to complete the corresponding kill.
It is unbelievable that people with special abilities are powerless, but the power of deep space is absolutely powerful, and killing evil species is not difficult.
At this time, Wang Quanli's mother was only in her forties, but she looked very old, with wrinkles all over her face and gray hair.
My hands were badly swollen from being soaked in water for a long time while washing clothes.
The clothes were very neat, and were bought by Wang Quanli by saving money.
The lives of women in this famine-stricken world are extremely miserable. If they are pretty, they can become dancers or prostitutes, so that they can save some money when they grow old and lose their beauty.
If she had an ordinary appearance and could only be a maid or a doorkeeper, the night scene would be very desolate.
Due to the high-intensity work, radiation and weak physical constitution, women in the refugee world age very early. When they are in their thirties, they look like they are in their fifties.
All they face is the death of their food source and starvation in this corner of this sinful world.
Wang Quanli's mother was originally a maid in a tavern. She gave birth to Wang Quanli after being brutally raped by a psychic who was passing by to replenish supplies.
Her luck was better than her companions, and the psychic even gave her some money.
At the same time, the mother found a job washing clothes and brought back some leftovers from time to time so that she could raise her children.
Her frail body could not withstand the jolting of the truck.
His face was terribly pale, with cold sweat rolling down his cheeks, and he suddenly fell down on the truck bed.
I wanted to spit acid out of the car.
"Snapped!"
A whip was swung over, making a crisp sound in the air, and was about to hit her.
Wang Quanli hurriedly threw himself on his mother to block the whip.
The long whip had great force, and instantly left a bloody mark on Wang Quanli's body, leaving a mess of flesh and blood.
"Damn old woman, you should have vomited in the car, but you vomited outside and attracted mutant creatures. I will skin you alive."
A newly promoted soldier with special abilities was quite arrogant. He held a long whip in his hand and yelled at Wang Quanli's mother while cursing.
Wang Quanli knelt directly in the truck bed and kowtowed to the soldier. Not long after, his forehead was bleeding.
"Sir, give my mother some water to drink. She wants to vomit because she is too thirsty."
The soldier smiled and whipped him hard again, causing Wang Quanli to roll on the ground in pain and break out in a cold sweat.
"Ha! When I asked you to take the second awakening potion, you all ran faster than dogs. Now you still want to be filial, right?" He stepped on Wang Quanli's head and crushed it with the sole of his shoe: "Your mother is so thirsty, do you want me to pee on her?"
After hearing what the soldier said, Wang Quanli's face suddenly turned red, the veins on his neck bulged, his head stiffened, and his pair of bloodshot eyes looked at the soldier.
"Hey, you're still not convinced, right? I fought hard to become a superpower! How dare you, a commoner, show your teeth to me?"
The soldier used some strength on his feet, but found that he still could not step on Wang Quanli's head. He grabbed the assault rifle hanging on his back and pressed the muzzle of the gun against Wang Quanli's head.
Wang Quanli was breathing heavily and looked at the civilians in the truck, but he found that they all avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at him.
They were afraid that the soldiers would vent their anger on them.
The hot blood burning in his chest suddenly cooled down.
"waste!"
The soldier hit him in the face with the butt of his rifle, knocking him to the ground, and then spat on him before leaving.
The other civilians gathered around and helped him up, their faces full of guilt.
They are like sheep, and the fear of superpower soldiers and weapons has long been ingrained in their hearts.
"Just be patient. There's no benefit in provoking them now."
"Yes, we are powerless to resist, and we don't know what the outcome will be."
"They must have forced us to take the Second Awakening Potion!"
"That would kill you."
"I really hope that an evil species will attack right now and destroy everyone!"
"Exorbitant hopes... Haven't you noticed that the number of evil species seems to have decreased recently?"
"Indeed... I haven't seen any evil seeds in a few months."
"That's not our concern. When we get back, we'll be tortured and abused, and then forced to drink 'poison,' leaving our lives to fate."
As everyone talked, a rather negative atmosphere was spreading.
The small commotion on the truck bed soon subsided.
The convoy continued to move from north to south.
When passing by the urban ruins, it just brushed past the edge of the city and then galloped towards the west. A gentle breeze came towards it, and except for the radioactive dust mixed in it, it was no different from the old era.
This place is located in a low-lying area on the edge of the city, and every few dozen steps you can encounter a gurgling stream.
Because of the abundant water, the ruins on both sides of the road are covered with lush climbing plants, covering the wounds brought to the city by war and time under the green leaves.
The lush branches even blocked out the sky, and they seemed to be driving in the forest.
Just when the convoy was halfway towards Shelter 36.
The driver in front suddenly braked hard and stopped.
After jumping out of the car, the driver ran forward, staring at a corpse on the ground, tilting his head slightly, confused.
"what happened?"
Someone inside the car leaned out and shouted.
"Our people are dead!" the driver responded loudly.
"Fuck! What's so good about dead people? It would be really strange if there were no deaths every day. Get in the car and keep on going!"
"But he seems to be the one transporting supplies to the front line."
The driver jumped in and continued, "But the supply truck is gone. Isn't that strange?"
The other man stroked his chin and finally said, "Listen, whether it's strange or not, it's none of our business. Our mission is—"
The man pointed at the convoy behind him and said, "Send the civilians we captured back and collect the reward. General You Wuchang is responsible for all other matters. What are you worrying about? You are overstepping your bounds!"
“I like the word transcendence.”
The driver laughed, threw a crystal source core into the engine, pulled up the power, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
A moment's work.
The driver noticed something strange.
A supply transport truck...is turning and heading south.
"Holy crap!" the driver yelled. "Damn it! Someone's reselling our supplies from Shelter No. 36!"
The driver's imagination successfully attracted the attention of other soldiers.
The loaded truck deviated from the route and headed south.
"South... isn't that the location of Titan No. 8?" someone reminded.
"Parrots! He killed the driver, resold our supplies, and let our soldiers starve. That bad guy wanted to make a quick buck and run away!"
"We must get justice!"
"I agree, but I can't do it for nothing."
"It can only be understood but not expressed in words."
"Come on, move and catch up!"
