Chapter 2036
The sky was blue, clouds drifted slowly, and a light brown bird flapped its wings and landed, pecking quickly, its beak already holding a grass insect.
Just as the bird flew away, an armored vehicle sped past, leaving tire tracks in the mud and grass. Grass leaves and mud stuck to the tires, only to be flung far away again.
Vroom~
A three-wheeled motorcycle with a super-high chassis drove past, followed by a massive convoy. A conservative estimate was that this convoy had hundreds of mechanical vehicles, with heavy trucks responsible for transport in the rear.
Inside the armored vehicle at the very front, a man with a mohawk sat in the back seat. The blood-red eyes indicated that this man's Blood Burning was already very serious.
"Daddy, you shouldn't blame us, right?"
The blood-eyed man patted a large cloth bag beside him, from which blood was slowly seeping. The person in this bag had once been the leader of Shelter No. 13, known as Old Man Red Axe.
"Only if you die can we survive."
The blood-eyed man was clearly somewhat abnormal. Not only him, but everyone in this convoy, regardless of age or gender, had the same mohawk hairstyle. They were thugs from Shelter No. 13, notorious.
"We're here. Ahead is the livestock pen of Shelter No. 9."
"Finally here."
The blood-eyed man's upper body leaned out of the car window. Although he was called a thug, he wasn't mindless. Defecting to Yahada of Shelter No. 9 was inevitable, but even if he defected, Blood Eye wasn't willing to become a small fry.
So, Blood Eye directly ambushed his original leader and gathered over 80% of the hunters in Shelter No. 13 to defect to Shelter No. 9. Only with more people would he have a say.
The convoy soon drove into the slums on the surface of Shelter No. 9. Just arriving here, Blood Eye was stunned by the scene before him.
Everywhere he looked, it was almost filled with all kinds of mechanical vehicles. At least three or four thousand hunters sat on mechanical vehicles. Each of them wore a mechanical exoskeleton, with two or three metal guns hanging behind their backs or at their waists.
Bang, bang, bang...
A large hand slapped the car window rudely, leaving several large handprints on the already somewhat dirty window. Seeing this, Blood Eye drew a short gun.
"Newcomers, go wait over there."
A giant with a thick neck left these words and walked away with a group of people.
If it were in the past, Blood Eye would have acted out long ago, but today he chose to endure, because his convoy had already been surrounded. As long as he dared to say one word of dissent, the entire convoy would be blown into a hornet's nest.
The convoy slowly retreated to the designated location to queue. The hunters nearby were clearly somewhat disappointed. As long as someone dared to cause trouble, they could make a move. For troublemakers, each ear was worth 2 Shock coins.
Three days had passed since Yahada's death. In these three days, not many hunters came to defect to Shelter No. 9 on the first day, but by the second day, it grew explosively.
In just two days, the number of hunters in Shelter No. 9 soared from 2,138 to 17,539. Not only that, these hunters mostly came in groups, and some even brought a lot of supplies.
And on the night of the second day, the first conflict appeared, but the conflict had only erupted for 10 minutes before both sides were wiped out. The new leader, Naga, announced a law: troublemakers' ears were worth 2 Shock coins, and the rest of the property belonged to the suppressors.
And then there was no then. After 27 small groups were wiped out, no one dared to cause trouble again.
As for the treatment medicine, it wasn't as magical as the hunters imagined. After drinking it, it could only relieve the burning pain in some internal organs. To completely get rid of the torment of Blood Burning, one had to drink the treatment medicine once more.
All hunters who came to Shelter No. 9 could receive a dose of treatment medicine for free, and a black skull pattern was branded on the back of their hands.
They all received the same order: find the superhuman plant Dibam.
During the search, the hunters were completely free and could go wherever they wanted, but there was one point: their squads were broken up, with 200 hunters in each small squad, and most of the hunters in the squad didn't know each other.
The hunters would supervise and guard against each other, because as long as they discovered someone slacking off, they could report it to Shelter No. 9, at which point they could get medicine to relieve the pain of Blood Burning.
As for the person reported, they would never be allowed to get close to Shelter No. 9 again, otherwise they would be shot down.
Although the hunters didn't know where the superhuman plant Dibam was, nor did they know its appearance or its use, the hunters knew one thing: this was their life. Finding this thing meant never having to worry about being plagued by Blood Burning for the rest of their lives, plus a reward of 50,000 Shock coins.
Superhuman plant Dibam equaled life + wealth. No hunter wasn't jealous, and everyone was crazy for it.
Blood Eye waited in line for nearly three hours before finally receiving the medicine. He drank the light green liquid in the glass bottle in one gulp. Not long after, he began to bend over and cough dryly.
A few minutes later, Blood Eye leaned against a mechanical vehicle as if exhausted. He felt he had truly come alive. Although there was still "fire" burning in his chest, compared to the feeling before that his internal organs were about to melt, he felt like he was in heaven at this moment.
"Superhuman plant Dibam!"
Blood Eye looked at the treatment medicine collection point. A man wearing a long black leather coat with a blade hanging at his waist sat there, surrounded by a dozen hunters with vigilant eyes.
In the crowd, Su Xiao flipped through the paper in his hand. At this time, he had already restored his original attire, and equipment such as arm guards were all worn.
Su Xiao had no great interest in managing Shelter No. 9. This was different from managing the Zerg nest.
In the original Zerg nest, Su Xiao had ownership, and he could get rewards for every enemy killed by the Zerg. The hunters in the shelter were different.
The power system of the shelter was simply too loose. Even if he became leader, he couldn't profit from the enemies killed by the hunters under his command.
Moreover, these hunters had their own ambitions and ideas, and they weren't easy to use. Therefore, Su Xiao commanded them in the form of missions, adopting the most direct inducement, sending most of the hunters out to let them search for the superhuman plant Dibam.
A force like a shelter was simply too chaotic, chaotic enough to change several leaders within a year. It wasn't that no one tried to establish a rule system, but once the hunters were overly constrained, it would cause large-scale rebellion, eventually leading to the appearance of a new leader.
There were still 26 days left in the mission deadline. Su Xiao didn't know if the hunters could find the superhuman plant Dibam, but one thing he could be sure of was that if such a number of hunters couldn't find it, the probability of him finding it alone was minimal.
Su Xiao tore the paper in his hand. This was what Baha had counted: so far, over 84,500 hunters had been sent out.
What could be foreseen was that more hunters would join later. Su Xiao lowered the effect of the treatment medicine for this purpose. The treatment medicine provided for free for the first time was the castrated version of the castrated version, and the second time was the complete version.
And there was one thing that made Su Xiao very concerned. In the past few days, he always felt someone was watching him.
Thump, thump, thump...
The ground under Su Xiao's feet began to vibrate, which made him vigilant. According to his combat experience, this was a super-giant object approaching.
Bursts of exclamations came, and Baha dived down from high altitude.
"Boss, a big guy is coming."
"Big guy?"
"Yes, conservative estimate, over 200 tons. It's a biological creature."
Baha landed on Amu's shoulder. It was the first to see that behemoth. Even if that big guy attacked, Baha didn't know where to strike.
Su Xiao stood up from the chair. Those who were good at blade techniques all had a hobby: they liked to slash enemies with large physiques, the bigger the better, with dragon-types as the representative.
It was the same in the Void. Therefore, those dragon tribes in the Void would choose to walk around when they saw blade technique experts.
