Warlord Chapter 352

Chapter 352 – Celebration (III)

The stained oil spear was inserted into the heavy locomotive, the Old Pete used his strength to hammer on the old and broken oil tank, thus the remaining gas slowly flowed towards the locomotive, filling it up with the energy of the operation.

The sky was still dark, and from here it could be seen that the wilderness was ruled by darkness. The wind was blowing from that direction, and the bone-piercing cold air was testing the patched cotton coat that was on Old Pete's body.

King walked out of the convenience store. He was still wearing his camouflage clothes, and the wound on his arm had been properly treated. Soon there would be scars there, perhaps marks, but real warriors were never proud of scars.

King thought he was a true warrior, so he didn't mind.

Looking at the helmet in Jin's hand, the Old Pete shook his head and said, “Didn't you say you will be staying for a day or two?

“Yeah, there's a temporary job.” He did not tell the old man who he was or what he did for a living. Jin knew that it was best for Old Pete to know less. That lord did not want him to spread the news regarding him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, people who knew this information might lie in their own blood and never get up.

After a moment, Old Pete had already filled the locomotive with oil. He picked up the gun and said to Jean, “When are you coming back?”

“I'm not sure, but the time limit is pretty long. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while.” Jin took out something from his pocket and threw it at Old Pete.

“What is it?” Old Pete opened up the outer layer of the tarpaulin and saw a s.h.i.+ning gold bar inside, as well as an extremely well-maintained revolver. Startled, he looked at Kim and said, “Why are you giving this to me?”

Jin looked into the distance and said, “Old Pete, leave this place. This gold bar is enough to keep you alive in other cities. ”

The Old Pete was silent for a while, then started laughing loudly. He laughed so hard that he choked on the cold air, and the laughter became a cough again. After coughing for a while, his old face turned red, but he managed to catch his breath. Old Pete shook his head and said as if he was sighing, “I'm old, and I'm already 56 years old this year. Believe it or not, Kim, I'm dying. ”

He stood up and pulled his s.h.i.+rt open in the cold wind, exposing his chest. The old man's chest was filled with dark red mutated tissue. They were numerous, like countless leeches attached to Old Pete's body. The old man said desolately, “These greedy people are constantly sucking away my life force. No matter how many clothes I wear right now, I won't feel any warmth. I'm like a cold corpse. Do you understand? “That's why I said I won't be able to use this gold bar, because I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this winter.”

Jean's hands were in his pockets, creaking. That was reality. The people in the wilderness were almost daily in the company of radiation because they didn't have proper protection. Unless one had the ability to do so, one's lifespan would only be around 50. Just like Old Pete had said, his lifespan was already considered long when he reached almost sixty years old. However, Jin knew that in the old era, this was nothing. If the people of that era didn't get pestilence, it was normal for them to live for seventy or eighty years.

He still remembered when they were young, playing together, talking about each other's dreams. When someone asked him what kind of person he wanted to be in the future, he said in his childish voice, “I want to be a doctor because I want to save everyone!”

But now, he hadn't become a doctor yet, but a competent one. And it wasn't until he grew up that Jin understood that one person couldn't save this world. A lot of people were needed to save the world.

As for Jin, he believed that the Lord would be able to save this desolate world!

Jin left. In silence, he started the car and left the town with the things Old Pete had given him. The Old Pete only left a bullet as a souvenir. When he saw the old man stagger back to the convenience store, Jin almost cried.

But he held back. The apocalypse didn't need tears.

Wait for me, Old Pete. The next time I come back, maybe I can get a gene repair fluid. thought King, pulling out a white line with the black engine and plunging straight into the darkness of the wilderness.

Gradually, dawn arrived. Radiation clouds began to glow red, signalling the arrival of a morning.

On a hill not far from the town, there was a man wearing a black cape on top of some ice-cold granite. The hood that covered the entire head was occasionally lifted by the wind, but held by a pair of fingers with hands.

Behind the man was a woman on her knees.

The woman had light blue hair that fluttered in the air. Every time it danced, there would be s.h.i.+ning ice shards that would float up from her hair and scatter in the air. The woman was beautiful, with the same blue lipstick. She wore very little, and even in the cold of the morning she wore only a tight black leather dress. The leather jacket drew a curve that would make people spurt fire, but with such a hot body, the woman's face was forever covered in ice.

“That's King's town.” The person standing made a low sound from his hat. Although his voice was neutral, one could still tell that it was a man.

The woman who was kneeling on the ground replied, “Yes, my lord. This is a slums district and the people here lack financial resources. They also don't have enough power to organize the security. People in the town are mainly selling uranium from an underground former military warehouse 342 kilometers away to nearby buyers, which is a high risk operation. ”

It was obvious that the woman had investigated the town thoroughly, so that she could answer as she did now.

The man nodded and said, “This kid has great potential, but he's still too childish, and he still understands that no extra emotion is needed to be a killer. For example, kins.h.i.+p, friends.h.i.+p. This town would become an obstacle in his path of growth. Alice, erase it from this land. Then he told Kim that it was the zeros who followed him and destroyed the town out of revenge. ”

“Yes, my lord!” Alice stood up and slowly retreated.

Two minutes later, her proud, aloof voice carried a sharp chill as she headed back to town. Looking at her, the man said flatly, “a.s.sa.s.sins don't need emotions. You are, and so is Jin!”

In the convenience store, Old Pete laid back onto his bed, but he couldn't get rid of the cold.

“This d.a.m.ned weather.” Old Pete scolded as he raised the temperature of the furnace.

At this moment, a mournful cry came from outside the window. The screams were filled with fear and despair. Old Pete immediately jumped up from the bed. He took off the rifle hanging on the wall and stuffed the remaining bullets in the drawer into the barrel of the gun.

After doing all this, the Old Pete left the house and went to the convenience store. Screams could be heard from outside the shop, Old Pete saw that there were people running past from time to time. There were old people and children, men and women. However, without exception, there were always flashes of light blue light. And every time the light flickered, there would be people screaming as they died to echo it.

The Old Pete calmed down, squatting down, he approached the door bit by bit. He opened the door a crack and looked out.

At some point a blue-haired woman appeared on the street outside the door, her body covered with hundreds of icicles. The ice cones around him continuously shot out like machine guns. A man who was running past the Old Pete store was suddenly stabbed by the ice cones, causing his chest to bleed.

Ice sculptures like these were spread all over the town!
