Chapter 17 Carter
Of course, Ferran would not want this half-grown little guy to sleep with Aluka. After all, although the two little guys look pretty, they only have faces and no figure, so they are not as comfortable as their own maids.So he just finished checking Krona and let her and Aluka go to rest.As one of the seven giants, Fei Lun can certainly enjoy privileges. Even in the frontline battlefield, others can only sleep in the open air or lie in tents, while he can sleep leisurely in the packed room. Sleep.And the sisters Aluka and Corona are also considered to be in the favor of Faerun. For the first time, they did not camp in a simple tent or a dangerous ruin, but slept beautifully in a clean and tidy room. .

Don't worry about being attacked by bandits in the wilderness, don't worry about being attacked by monsters, it's such a wonderful day! !
As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad.While Fei Lun and the others were enjoying a quiet night leisurely, the positions he had cleared during the day had now turned into a battlefield.

"Cheer up and pay attention to your surroundings!! Be careful, I told you to be careful, you idiot, look at the sky!"

A man in a heavy leather jacket roared and rushed forward, pushing the stupid machine gunner to the ground, and then saw the sharp claws of the energy absorber almost rubbing their scalps from above them fly over.And with a series of gunshots, the intertwined firepower net immediately enveloped the energy-absorbing monster, and with a series of screams, the huge energy-absorbing monster fell from the sky and fell to the ground It was on the ground, but even so, it still refused to give up and wanted to struggle to attack the prey in front of it. It was not until the two machine gunners turned around and blasted its head with a series of bullets that this damned energy-sucking monster was completely lost. Return to the west.

What a disaster! !
Staring at the twitching corpse with a livid face, the man in the leather jacket spat viciously.But he didn't care about the corpse at all, but continued to turn and look forward.

The actions of the Blackstone Group were not unpleasant. In the daytime, the crossroads where Faerun wiped out the mutated elite monster was already covered with bunkers, and there were even several searchlights illuminating the surrounding area.The advantage of the energy coverage area is here. It does not need any power generation equipment at all, as long as the equipment that needs energy to drive is transported, it can be used.

But for Carter, here is what makes him feel restless.

As the leader of the Wilderness Alliance, Carter is now distraught.The reason is very simple, because not long ago, he received a piece of news that shocked him-"Vulture" died.

To be honest, when he first got the news, Carter's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it, and then he turned the table angrily. "Vulture" is a very important figure in the Wilderness Alliance. His ability is to search and find food and water sources in the wilderness.This kind of ability can be said to be life-saving for those of them wandering in the wilderness.And in order to draw this important person into the Wilderness Alliance, Carter also put in a lot of effort, and even lost one of his favorite women, so that "Vulture" was drawn in.

Of course, Carter knew that an ability user like "Vulture" would not willingly listen to his words, especially his ability couldn't be more important to those nomads wandering in the wilderness.If one is not good, it is very likely that he will kick him down in turn. At that time, the forces he has worked so hard to build will be cheaper for others.

However, since Carter is willing to bring in "Vulture", he naturally has his own plan.Few people know that this seemingly carefree middle-aged man has also awakened his authority.Moreover, Carter's ability is very special, his awakened ability is --- devour.

That's right, as an ability owner with level three authority, Carter can devour the abilities of ability users of the same level or below to use for himself.Of course, this ability is not completely unlimited, that is, Carter can only use one ability by devouring it. Once he swallows another ability, the previous ability will become invalid.Because of this, no one in the Wilderness Alliance knew the truth about Carter's ability, because what Carter had always shown in front of them was the ability of other people he had devoured before.

It is precisely because of this ability that Carter chose to pull "Vulture" into his power. His original plan was to launch a surprise attack on "Vulture" while it was unprepared, and then absorb his ability.And this time, the reason why he was willing to lead the Wilderness Alliance to accept the employment of the Blackstone Group was not only the generous rewards from the Blackstone Group, but also the idea of ​​taking advantage of the chaos to attack the "vulture" and devour his abilities.

Originally, Carter wanted to wait a few days until the battle situation became stalemate, and then lead people to carry out the plan.But what he didn't expect was that, less than a day after arriving in the ruins, Carter and his people disappeared, and before Carter sent someone to look for them, the people from the Blackstone Group notified him... "Vulture" is dead.

And when he heard the news, Carter's face was only left with a capitalized bewilderment.

What? "Vulture" dead?Is there a mistake?Isn't this guy most afraid of death?How could he die?How can he die? ! !

Although Carter didn't want to believe it, but when he rushed to the scene with his men, all he saw was the dead body of "Vulture".Seeing this scene, Carter immediately became angry.His ability is indeed very strong, but it is only useful if the target is alive. Everyone is dead, and he still devours a fart! !
Carter, who was furious, also immediately sent someone to collect information, and he must find out this bastard who ruined his good deed!
However, the process was unexpectedly simple for Carter, because the identity of the murderer was basically known to passers-by—one of the seven giants in the ninth district, the doctor.

After learning about the situation, Carter immediately sent a representative to the Blackstone Group to protest. Anyway, "Vulture" is also a member of the "Wilderness Alliance". Your people from the ninth district killed him just like that. Say it?

What made Carter even more angry was that the Blackstone Group... really didn't intend to give an explanation. Facing Carter's righteous indignation, they just gave a reply that they were investigating as a matter of routine, and then?Then there must be no more, right?
Not only that, but what made Carter even more upset was that shortly after that, they received an order from their employer asking them to move here to defend their position.And this place was originally the area that the "doctor" was in charge of!
My target was killed by the opponent, my plan was destroyed by the opponent, and now I have to bring someone to wipe this bastard's ass! !Just thinking about it makes Carter almost go berserk.

But it's a pity that right now he doesn't even have time to throw his temper over the table.At the beginning, this area was quite calm, and the fortifications were completed without hindrance.Originally, Carter thought it was an easy job, but what he didn't expect was that since nightfall, they had been attacked by various monsters from all around.At first it was zombies, later there were even mutants, and now there are energy absorbers to make trouble.Although under Carter's command, these waves of monster attacks were blocked, but their men also lost a lot.The Wilderness Alliance was originally a relatively loose organization formed by a group of vagrants in the wilderness. If it weren't for the generous rewards offered by the Blackstone Group this time, they would not have united and acted together.But now after half a night, although the monsters were blocked from further attacks, they also suffered heavy losses, which really made Carter feel a bit unworthy.

Following the failure of another attack, the energy absorbers wandering not far away seemed to have given up the idea of ​​continuing to attack, only to hear a series of hoarse screams, and the next moment, under the illumination of the searchlight, those black shadows could be seen He spread his wings and flew high into the sky, and then flew away into the depths of the city ruins.

"call……………"

Until this time, Carter wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and sat down on the ammunition box.Although there is a whole box of grenades under his ass, now that Carter is no longer here, will this thing blow his ass in half? He almost died in the mouth of an energy sucker just now. Fortunately, Carter was at the last moment Only by motivating his own abilities did he escape the catastrophe.Now Carter is even secretly glad that he didn't get the ability of "Vulture", otherwise he might become a mummy now.

But having said that, if it wasn't for this crap, he wouldn't have come to this ghostly place to do his best! !

"Boss, boss!!"

Just when Carter finally relaxed and wanted to smoke a cigarette to suppress his shock, suddenly, one of his little bosses ran over panting from behind.Seeing him coming, Carter frowned, took the cigarette out of his mouth again, and stared at him coldly.

"What's the matter? What happened? It's so flustered."

"Is such that………"

Sensing Carter's cold gaze, the little boss was obviously very nervous, but even so, he hesitated for a moment, took half a step forward, came to Carter's side, and then said in a low voice.

"Didn't you want us to investigate the details of that 'doctor'? My brothers and I ran behind for a long time and got a very interesting piece of news..."

While speaking, the little boss lowered his voice again, and whispered something in Carter's ear.But when he heard his words, Carter's expression became very strange. He raised his head and looked at the man beside him in surprise.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, everyone said so, this is the open secret of District Ninth..."

"very good."

Hearing this, Carter smiled coldly, then he reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.

"You did a good job, now go down and rest."

"Yes, boss."

The little boss was obviously very happy to receive Carter's reward, but he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"That... Boss, do we want to..."

As he spoke, the little boss stretched out his hand and made a gesture.Seeing his gesture, Carter thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, it's not in a hurry now. The Blackstone Group is watching us closely, and it's not too late. You should send a few trustworthy people to watch them. Don't startle them, wait until we get the deal done."

As he spoke, Carter clenched his fists hard and smashed the cigarette in his hand.

"I'll let that bastard know that we, the Wilderness Alliance, are not easy to mess with!!"
