Endless Debt

Pushing away the steel plate pressing on his body, wind and rain hit him, and the moist rainwater brought an extreme chill, crawling along the wounds on his body and into his spinal cord. The scavenger rat's vague consciousness came to, and for a moment he felt a real sense of being alive. .

The shocking battle between the two ruling schools completely changed the terrain of this area. On the ruins of steel, dim light flickered from time to time. The scavenger rat held heavy gold in his arms. He did not expect that he was still there. alive.

"It's good to be alive..."

The scavenger rat murmured, some electronic instruments were still running, and there was endless military music playing on the hoarse radio. The singing was intermittent. The previous fiery momentum was no longer there, but instead there was a touch of sadness, as if for everything that happened here. Feeling sorry.

The storm approached the Freeport, and the sky became gray. The terrifying air currents were like giant pythons entangled in the sky. The scavenger rats could vaguely see the light in the distance. The dark clouds collapsed, revealing the melting power of the sun. orange color.

The scavenger rat took heavy steps and struggled to move forward on the ruins despite the violent wind and rain.

The icy rain curtain obscured the view, and there was diffuse mist everywhere. Every breath felt like swallowing ice shards.

There was a sharp pain in the ankle. The edges of these dilapidated remains were extremely sharp, like scattered swords. If you were not careful, you would cut yourself.

The scavenger rat didn't care about this. He didn't know where to go, but he knew he couldn't stop. There was a dull sound in the heavy rain, like approaching thunder.

The scavenger rat licked its ears hard, and the clotted blood scab fell off, as if the water poured into the ear canal was drained, and the vague sound became much clearer.

It was not thunder, but footsteps, extremely heavy footsteps.

The Scavenger Rat turned around suddenly, and a dark and blurry figure came out of the rain. He was so tall, like a warrior in mythology, but when he appeared in the Scavenger Rat's field of vision, the Scavenger Rat realized that he and himself were together. The same, they are all just human beings.

No……

The scavenger rat knew very well in his heart that they were both human beings on the outside, but they were different on the inside. Thinking of the terrifying battle just now, he couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship him as a god.

"I get it now……"

The scavenger rat looked at the returning Boluogo and muttered something.

"I know what kind of war there is in this world, and we need warriors like you..."

Boluogo didn't understand what the scavenger rat was doing, and he didn't bother to guess. He only knew that this guy was lucky enough to survive, and... there was one less person.

"What about that one? Dead?"

Boluogo asked as he picked up a severed limb, which was a severed hand. The armor covering the flesh shone brightly.

The scavenger rat did not answer, but just lowered his head in awe, holding the blood-stained gold tightly with both hands. It was strange that no matter how the heavy rain washed away, the gold still continued to overflow with blood.

"He...he died, and was accidentally affected by the aftermath," the scavenger rat spun a lie, "Yes, that's it. His fortune-telling has predicted the fate of many people, but he has never divined his own. That's how unlucky it is."

Boluogo's eyes were calm. From the first moment he saw the scavenger rat, he understood what had happened. He had seen too many such things in Wandering Cross Road.

No matter how close we are, or even calling ourselves brothers, in the final analysis, we are all slaves of desire.

"I didn't lie, that's how he died!"

The scavenger rat emphasized again because he was afraid that Boluogo wouldn't believe it.

"I didn't question you," Boluogo said nonchalantly, "This has nothing to do with me."

Due to the limitation of the sentry distance, Boluogo hadn't heard Lebius's voice for a while, and he didn't know where his team leader had gone.

"This alchemical weapon looks interesting."

Boluogo was talking to Aimu, and the voice echoed directly in his mind.

In the previous battle with Crane, Bologo relied heavily on Aimu's help. She was like a backup energy source, providing Bologg with a steady stream of ether and tactical planning.

The idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the blunt tendency to react slowly was what Aimu suggested to Boluogo, and Boluogo took advantage of this time difference to complete the killing of Crane.

"From a combat perspective, this thing can help you break through the ether mutual exclusion."

Aimu's voice was a little tired. In order to deal with the sky full of steel, her spirit remained tense. The battle was over, and the strong sense of fatigue made Aimu listless. At times like this, she envied Boluogo. This guy was always full of energy.

"Are ether mutually exclusive..."

Bologg struggled to peel the gauntlet off Crane's hand, threw the severed limb aside, and then raised the gauntlet to let the heavy rain wash away the blood on the metal.

Boluogo is seriously planning his future promotion direction. The important thing for Boluogo now is no longer what he can control, but what Boluogo cannot control.

Among them, Bologo has always been interested in ether mutual exclusion and moment soul criticality. The former allows Bologo to break through the opponent's ether and even directly control the opponent's weapons. The latter allows Bologo to directly use ether to explode the opponent. body.

The Eroding Touch attracted Boluogo very much. After a simple cleaning, he put on the Eroding Touch, adjusted the tightness, and it unexpectedly fit his hand.

Since joining the job, most of the alchemical weapons on Bologo came from his enemies. It's not that the Bureau of Order does not allocate alchemical weapons. There is often a gap between the alchemical weapons issued by the Bureau of Order and Bologo. There are various problems, either it is not suitable for Boluogo, or there is duplication of functions.

The only way left for Boluogo was to customize alchemy weapons specifically for him, but this would take a long time. Boluogo himself had no idea about custom-made alchemy weapons, so he put it aside for the time being.

The scavenger rat still lowered his head and muttered to himself in a very low voice, not knowing what he was talking about.

Boluogo put on the gauntlet, and the shimmering light floated on the back of his hand. He could feel his ether becoming manic and more aggressive.

His eyes fell on the scavenger rat. The scavenger rat's eyes were trembling, as if he would not move without Boluo Ge's order.

The two people's eyes met, and the scavenger rat's body trembled violently.

He read it from Bologg's eyes. Bologg knew what the scavenger rat had done. The wounds on his body and the bruises on his face... everything proved one thing.

"It's him who deserves to die!"

The scavenger rat yelled uncontrollably, "He deserves to die if he blocks my way!"

"Damn, he repays kindness with vengeance," the scavenger rat stamped his feet vigorously, with a venomous voice, "I shouldn't have saved him! He actually wanted to steal something from me!"

Boluogo's face was expressionless.

The scavenger rat calmed down for a while, then laughed maniacally.

"You won't understand. For a person like me who is in deep darkness, this is the only light, the only light!"

The scavenger rat protected his gold. At this moment, it was more important than the scavenger rat's life. "I just want to live like a normal person. What's wrong with that!"

Boluogo never wanted to judge anything, but the scavenger rat had driven himself crazy.

"You don't understand...you don't understand!"

The scavenger rat roared at Bologg, his expression furious, and then this scene solidified into the last eternity of his life.

Time seemed to slow down. Bologger watched helplessly as the face of the scavenger rat was distorted. The heavy metal penetrated his body. The moment of contact shattered the scavenger rat's internal organs. The scarlet blood spread outwards and sprinkled on the ground. On Boluogo's body.

Boluogo stood there, blood dripping from his brow. The scavenger rat in front of him had disappeared, leaving only golden fragments of gold and blood.

A few seconds later, a roaring explosion came from the ruins behind him. The flying shrapnel cut Boluogo's cheek. The corpse of the scavenger rat and the gold also disappeared in the flames.

"Bologo!"

Aimu yelled in Boluogo's mind. Boluogo escaped from the shock and summoned layers of metal barriers to cover his body. Then more dense shells were thrown from the sea and hit the wreckage. Time roared with explosions and a sea of ​​fire engulfed the coast.

Several battleships emerged from the water mist in the offshore sea, like sea monsters rising from the bottom of the sea. The captain's eyes reflected the burning sea of ​​fire.

"The board calls for the complete destruction of the Hulk Coast."

The captain ordered.

"Keep firing."
