mechanical court

Moreover, judging from the performance of their pursuit, it seems that they do not intend to let go of the remaining people.

"Hey! Come here!" A vague shout suddenly came from the ruined palace of Wang Ting.

After the survivors heard the voice, they all became excited as if they had been pumped with chicken blood, and they ran much faster.

The middle-aged man wiped the rain off his face, looked at the cannon barrels in front of the palace gate, and shouted in surprise and joy

"It's a hunter! We're saved!"

"Come on, run to the palace in front to survive!"

"Run and run! Keep going!"

The survivors roared loudly, their faces flushed, and they frantically kicked the rain and ran towards the palace.

At this moment, a burly bald man in white mechanical armor walked out of the broken palace gate.

He went straight to the cannon barrel, looked at the survivors who were hundreds of meters away, and estimated the distance between them and the ghost - he thought that these people would be killed by the ghost before they could get here in time.

After confirming that the situation was critical, the strong man immediately raised his fists and shouted at the survivors in the rainstorm

"Get down! Get down!"

The loud voice came to everyone's ears through the thunderstorm, like another thunder.

Without saying a word, the survivors rushed forward and fell to the ground, and then lay directly on the muddy ground.

"Go to hell, you dirty flying insects!"

The strong man suddenly lowered his waist and lowered his hips, and the silver flame instantly circled around the peak of his fist, his eyes locked on the ghost that was crushing like a dark cloud in front of him, and his arms suddenly swung a flickering afterimage.

Boom boom boom boom!

Hundreds of streamlined rays of light burst out from in front of him like a rain curtain, shooting towards the ghosts swarming in front of him.

boom--!

The flames that illuminated a small half of the sky blasted towards the ghost, blasting out large pieces of flying debris, and directly scattered those giant centipedes in the form of shadows.

Immediately afterwards, the cannon barrel beside the strong man also began to adjust its angle, firing continuously automatically.

Bang bang bang bang bang—!

With the scattered ghosts as the center, the ground was instantly engulfed by white light, and pillars of silvery white fire continued to rise from the surface of the earth; the intense flames exploded continuously, spreading layer by layer like ripples, and the monsters evaporated like thin ice caught in fire .

A few seconds later, a scorched black pit swallowed all the ghosts.

……

"thank you all!"

"Without you, we'd be food for ghosts, thank you very much."

"Thanks to meeting the two hunters, thank you for your help."

In the ruins of the palace, the survivors came to the two hunters and thanked them sincerely.

"It's nothing. It's rare to see a living person. If you can help, help."

The strong man smiled boldly, and then introduced himself, "My name is Simon. As you can see, I am a ghost hunter. I don't charge for killing ghosts. I am a hunter out of interest. If there are ghosts haunting your place of residence, I can help you for free." You clear up."

Having said that, he paused, pointed to the red-haired woman beside him and said, "She is Helena, my wife, and also a ghost hunter. We usually act together."

Seeing their enthusiasm, the middle-aged man in the lead quickly introduced himself, "My name is Leric. I used to be a mechanical engineer, and I am good at repairing cutting-edge weapons. If you have any weapons and equipment that need maintenance, I might be able to help you." I'm busy... Don't look at me like this, in fact, I used to develop the fourth-generation infantry mecha! So general mechanical maintenance can't trouble me."

When he heard that he called himself a mechanical engineer, the strong man had no expression on his face and was unmoved in his heart; after all, he had seen too many parallel imports over the years, and now as long as he can repair a wheel, he dared to call himself a mechanical engineer to cheat food and drink.It wasn't until Leric said that he used to develop mechas that he showed a look of admiration, and said excitedly

"You really know how to repair mechas!?"

"I can repair any mecha within four generations." Leric said confidently.

"Can the saber-toothed tiger series be repaired?" the bald hunter hurriedly asked.

"Yes! The Saber-Toothed Tiger series are third-generation machines, and they are like building blocks to me." Leric nodded.Say you can handle it.

"Great! Why don't you join us."

The brawny man hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his shoulders, posing as two brothers, then stretched out his other hand and raised three fingers in front of him, "We have three saber-toothed tigers in our base. If you can fix them, we will give them to you every day." You distribute 10 kilos of wheat, two liters of water, two hundred grams of chicken and five grams of table salt."

"Really!?" Leric was suddenly moved.

Ten kilograms of wheat a day, I can finally be full!

And five grams of table salt!

In the past two years, he has been hungry and full all day long, and he almost forgot what salty taste is; the bird can fade out of his mouth, and he can eat salt every day in the future, how comfortable it is.

The most important thing is that they still give meat to eat... If they really give meat to eat, they can work 12 hours a day without any problem.

"of course it's true."

The strong man patted his chest to ensure that he would not fool around, then his face sank, his facial muscles expressed a sinister expression, "I warn you, we are serious, if you dare to lie to us... I will kill you every bone Pull it out!"

Leric was taken aback by him, and quickly said, "I'm not lying! But the premise of repairing is to have tools!"

"That's fine, you can follow us from now on." The red-haired woman nodded slightly, showing satisfaction.

"Before I go with you...can you please send my companion back? After all, it's quite dangerous here, and they may encounter ghosts again when they go back." Leric asked tentatively.

"No problem." The strong man readily agreed.

one-one-one-one-one

After sending his companions back to the shelter and saying goodbye to them, Leric joined Simon and Helena's team and followed them back to the ruins of the royal court.

After a brief exchange, Leric learned that the reason why the two came to the royal court was to find the thousand-year-old sacred artifact that opened the Gate of Light.

They believed that if they could find the legendary Millennium Sacred Artifact, they would be able to contact the Sun King who disappeared many years ago—as long as that His Majesty could be found, then the sacred Menesian Empire would surely be restored to its glory in its heyday!

This kind of thinking is basically a consensus among the remaining elites of the empire.

All of them have witnessed the glory of the Menesian Empire, seen the vast and boundless territory of the empire with their own eyes, and enjoyed an incomparably abundant material life.May I ask, from such a prosperous living environment to the present apocalypse where people are struggling to survive, who doesn't miss the glory days of the past?

The elite yearns for a better life in the past, coupled with the fact that they are unable to reverse the reality of the apocalypse. The combination of various factors makes them only hope for the birth of a miracle.

Because of this, for those who are struggling in the last days, the thousand-year-old sacred artifact that is rumored to be able to contact the Sun King has become a symbol of faith.

Even Leric believed that the Millennium Sacred Artifact could bring back the disappeared Sun King—at that time, the ruler of light and fire would rekindle the flame of hope.
