city ​​of the end

Chapter 3
"Because you lost contact before, the gathering place asked me to investigate and search. Since you are still alive, that's the best. Now, you can pack your things and prepare to return to the gathering place. The electromagnetic storm will be here soon. To come, what this means, you will not understand."

While talking, Fei Lun glanced at the wall lamp not far away, as if to verify his words, the wall lamp that was exuding soft light suddenly began to flicker rapidly, and it returned to normal after a while.Seeing this scene, many people including the girl changed their expressions.The girl hesitated for a moment before asking.

"You said that you were entrusted by the gathering place to come to us. Do you have any proof?"

Clever and decisive, although she is still a little naive, but considering her age, she is not bad.

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Phelan gave a good evaluation deep in his heart, then he took out the data cube from his pocket and threw it over.The girl took it, and then opened it. Soon, a series of codes emerged from it.But the girl is obviously very good at this kind of data processing. She stretched out her fingers and flicked on these codes a few times, and then the codes disappeared, revealing a series of information.Fei Lun didn't know what was written on it, but it was obvious that the girl and her companions were much more relaxed than before.They looked at each other, and then saw the three men put down the guns in their hands, and the girl also walked out of the crowd and stood about three meters in front of Fei Lun.In the last days, this is already a friendly distance.

The girl came to Faerun just like that, and bowed respectfully to him.

"Thank you very much for your help... Doctor..."

"You're welcome, I just did what I had to do."

Hearing the girl's thanks, Feren nodded with a smile.It wasn't until this time that the girl realized that there was a petite black cat lying on Fei Lun's shoulder.Seeing that Fei Lun reached out his hand and stroked the little head of the black cat lightly, he put down his hand.

"If there is nothing wrong, then we'd better get out of here immediately."

No one raised objections to Faerun's orders. In this wasteland, dangers were everywhere.Just because they were lucky enough to escape, it doesn't mean that this good luck will continue forever.Therefore, everyone quickly packed up their belongings and left this terrifying dark realm with their seriously injured captain.

As in the record, during the last contact report, the team was attacked by a group of zombies.Of course, if it was just a simple zombie, then these well-equipped fighters would not be taken seriously.But what they didn't expect was that just when they were about to completely wipe out these zombies, the energy absorber suddenly appeared and killed their companions while they were not paying attention. , is the only trace left in this world by that unlucky guy.

When they saw the energy-absorbing monsters, the team immediately became nervous. After all, one of the reasons they set off in the first place was because they reported finding energy-absorbing monsters nearby.The appearance of the energy absorbing monster naturally attracted their attention.But what they didn't expect was that there was more than one energy absorber, and they actually surrounded the soldiers while they were dealing with the zombies!

Having lost their means of transportation and had no way to escape, their captain made a decisive decision and led them into the tunnel, trying to use their geographical advantage to defend and resist the attack of the energy-absorbing monsters.But unfortunately, they failed. In the end, they lost nearly half of their manpower, so they escaped the search of those energy absorbers and hid in this small warehouse.

But that's all they can do. Due to the heavy rain, the remote communication through the network has completely failed. In fact, even if they can be contacted, it is useless.They are already the most powerful fighters in the gathering place. If they can't solve the problem themselves, then the gathering place can't help them solve any problems.

If Faerun hadn't appeared here, then they had only two choices, either try to save their own lives in the electromagnetic storm that came after the heavy rain, or rush out of the tunnel, try to break through the energy absorbing monsters' encirclement, and fight to the death. See if you can run back with luck.

In fact, among these two options, the possibility of surviving is not even one percent.

There was silence in the tunnel.

Everyone has slowed down their pace as lightly as possible, but the sound of their footsteps still echoed in the tunnel.This made them nervous, especially when they thought that the energy-draining monsters were probably still hiding in the darkness, waiting to hunt them, these warriors became even more nervous.They raised their guns almost nervously, aiming at any possible hiding place, fearing that an energy-draining monster would emerge from somewhere and pounce on them at the next moment.

But soon, they found that there was no need for this.

Turning the corner, the exit is in sight.

But everyone, including the girl, involuntarily slowed down. Even their captain, the man with the third-level ability, widened his eyes in surprise at this moment, and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. everything.

There are corpses everywhere.

Distorted and deformed corpses lay scattered on the ground like this. They looked like people, but they were not people.Although their bodies barely maintain their human form, their skin is a strange brown-black color.The sharp nails on the fingers on both sides are as sharp as knives, and their heads are more like some kind of mutated monsters after the human jaw has been elongated. Chilling light.

They are energy suckers, one of the most feared monsters in this wasteland, but now, they have turned into corpses that even humans sympathize with.Wounds were dissected along their bodies, and you could even see the bones and internal organs turned inside out.But the most terrifying thing is not their wounds, but the way these monsters die.

They died in excruciating pain.

Painful death is not uncommon in the last days, but there are preconditions for this. One is pain caused by killing, and the other is killing caused by pain.

Judging from the signs of struggle on the corpses of these energy-absorbing monsters, they clearly belonged to the latter.If those people still doubted how Faerun walked in from outside the encirclement of the energy-absorbing monsters before, then now, they have got the answer.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... a total of eight corpses. It seems that the energy-sucking monsters that are chasing us are all here..."

"Only relying on him? How did he do it? Even if we go together, whether we can kill one of them is a problem..."

"Clap!"

While everyone was whispering, suddenly, another black shadow fell from above, startling everyone, they hurriedly raised their guns to aim at the shadow, and then put down their weapons in despondency.And their captain just glanced at the bloody corpse, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Okay...we missed one..."

Without the threat of energy absorbers, these fighters never encountered other obstacles along the way. Although the torrential rain brought them some obstacles, they finally rushed back to the gathering place before dark .

"We're back!! We're back!!"

Looking at the bright lights shining not far away, the soldiers who survived the catastrophe couldn't help showing excited and excited expressions. After all, after experiencing the test of life and death, the only thing they want to do now is to return to their own warmth. A comfortable home, a good night's sleep, as for other things, they don't even want to think about it!
"Then, my mission ends here."

Just when everyone was excited, a light and light speech from the side suddenly made the soldiers who were already excited suddenly shut their mouths.They turned their heads and looked at the dark figure standing not far from them like a ghost with complicated expressions, not knowing what to say for a while.Only after a while did the captain walk forward with some hesitation and speak.

"Thank you very much for your help. But are you sure you don't want to go back with us? Although I don't know how much you have been rewarded there, you saved us from the siege of energy-sucking monsters and wiped out those terrible monsters." monster, I think what you've done should be worth more than what you've got now. And..."

Facing Fei Lun, this man's attitude was very respectful.This is also a matter of course, maybe the group of idiots under him don't know Faelun's strength very well.But their captain knew very well that what they encountered before was a group of energy-sucking monsters with level [-] permissions, including a leader with level [-] permissions.This is also the reason why he and his subordinates will be suppressed to death.In the network area, the level of authority represents status and strength, although the man himself also has three levels of authority.But under the suppression of authority levels, he can only barely exert the lowest level of power.And such a group of terrifying monsters could be easily killed by the man in front of him, which means that this person who calls himself "doctor" is likely to have level five or above authority.

And a strong person with authority above level [-] is an existence that they can never offend.

"It's not necessary."

However, facing the captain's persuasion, Fei Lun stretched out his hand and interrupted his speech.

"Although I accepted the entrustment, I didn't receive a reward, and I didn't plan to receive a reward. Then, let's leave it alone."

After saying this, Feilun nodded to everyone in front of him, then turned and left.

"Hey, wait a minute, you......!!"

Seeing Fei Lun leave, the girl tried to step forward to say something, but she was stopped by the captain beside her after only a few steps.

"Captain, why did you stop me? Besides, why didn't you keep him? You have seen his strength. If this person can stay in our town, wouldn't our town be more secure?" ?”

Looking at the captain's arm lying beside her, the girl was obviously a little surprised.She originally hoped to find a chance to keep this young man after returning to the gathering place.The girl has never seen him, so she can be sure that the other party should be a mercenary or something.In her opinion, if the gathering place is willing to pay a certain price, it is obviously a good choice to keep this strong man in the gathering place.But the girl didn't expect that after arriving at the destination, the other party would turn around and leave without saying a word. This behavior of not playing cards according to the rules really surprised her.Originally, the girl planned to step forward and try to dissuade and persuade the other party, but she did not expect that her most respected captain stopped her action.

Facing her question, the captain shook his head.

"Don't provoke him, Beth, he is not someone you can touch. He is not from the same world as us, and he would not agree to stay in a small place like ours. Moreover, even if he wanted to stay, he would not It will only bring us disaster."

"But…………"

Hearing what the captain said, the girl bit her lips tightly. She glanced at the fading figure with a complicated expression, and suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she yelled loudly.

"My name is Beth! You must remember my name, I swear, we will meet again!!"
