The camp of the Skinners was established in an abandoned square, and even their leader built a throne in front of the great statue of the former Emperor. The seat was covered with black and brown furs, and the armrests and backrests were covered with bones and teeth.
, there is a skull on the round head on each armrest, and the skulls of the killed dishmen are installed one by one on the horizontal columns above the entire mold.
The so-called Skinned King used to be just a gang leader, but when famine turned into riots, riots turned into riots, repression turned into massacres, and finally the empire completely abandoned the area, he took advantage of the situation and declared that he would be the new one here.
Ruler - in the name of the Emperor.
He even created his own religious theory that this chaos is the God-Emperor's response to the weak. The truly strong will feed on the weak and become the Emperor's chosen champion when the end comes to travel to distant lands.
The stars participate in the eternal holy war.
But in actual behavior, their goal is only one -
Catch as many living people as possible and feed them, because there is almost no food here, and it is impossible to start any factories due to the energy interruption.
In a sense, everyone is trapped in a dark forest and can only feed on their own kind.
Several huge bonfires were lit in the square, surrounded by metal spears with dismembered human bodies strung on them. People with tattoos on their faces, holding various weapons and constantly growling, were staring greedily.
Along with the "meat", a thick layer of bones has been piled up under their feet, some large and some small——
On the edge of the square, a simple wall was built with various wastes, and there was even a sentry tower, and heavy weapons were installed.
In the darker corners, in the huge iron cage, there were sobs and crazy murmurs.
The skinners will not trap food because they themselves have no more food, so the food they catch will be consumed in a short time, and then they will continue hunting.
The Skinned King sat on the throne with great pride, and two of his men stood very close to him.
The first one is a man in his 20s, with a shaved head and tattoos. One hand is broken, and the other hand is wearing beads. He is holding a thick "Holy Book" of the state religion as if he is holding on to a lifeline, as if he only wants to
Touching its broken surface, no harm will befall him.
In order to survive, the former pastor eventually became a cannibal preacher.
There is also a young man of similar age, with hair dyed purple and blue, hanging down from his head like teardrops, with human skin hanging on his black cloak, and holding a sniper rifle in his bent hands.
His eyes are always alert to his surroundings, and as long as his master gives the order, his bullets will kill anyone who tries to challenge authority.
As the number of cannibals increased, some lunatics began to appear in the gang. Some said it was a curse, others said it was a disease, but other than that, they could not find a second way to survive.
Without energy, it would be difficult to even leave this hive of death.
Maybe when everyone outside is eaten, they will have to kill each other.
puff--
Suddenly, with an imperceptible sound, an invisible blade penetrated a guard tower and cut the cannibal sitting inside in half.
The first drop of blood fell and time seemed to stop.
The next moment, all the guard towers turned into a pile of shapeless fragments, overturned to the ground, dragging oil and dust, and the screams from inside quickly came out through the torn bodies.
"Um!?"
In an instant, the camp of skinners boiled. There were hundreds of them and they had never been raided before.
Then, the laser gun fired, and the cannibals let out ear-piercing screams and howled like wolves after a killing.
A contemptuous sneer came from the darkness, and then something jumped down from the edge of the high platform, like a whistling shadow.
The panicked cannibals fired ammunition randomly into the darkness. The bright gunfire intensified the dazzling eyes and made the darkness more difficult to see through. The people in the iron cages waiting to be slaughtered also screamed.
In the chaos, a cannibal was grabbed into the sky by something huge, and his spinning limbs and blood splattered on his comrades.
The screams only lasted less than a second, with internal organs and limbs falling like rain. The cannibals were shouting, and their spirits collapsed due to the high level of fear. More and more people tried to escape, but no one could escape.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
The Skinned King also pulled out the laser pistol he had stolen while transferring weapons at an armory, pressed the trigger at the black shadow passing by in the sky, and glared at the besieged cannibals.
Suddenly, something crashed down in front of him.
It was his sniper, his limbs were bent into strange postures, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible before he died.
In an instant, the fear in the heart of this self-proclaimed king was completely ignited. He heard cheers blooming in the darkness, as well as hissing laughter, each accompanied by blood-splattered screams.
Just when he turned around to escape, something fell from the sky, smashed his throne, and stood in front of him.
When the Skinners realized what they were facing, their eyes widened and their pale faces were stunned——
"No."
A silver-gray giant stood in front of them, and the Angel of Death badge on his chest was so dazzling.
"Scream, we are coming for you."
At the same time, the soldiers of the 11th Company carrying jet packs landed one by one and grabbed the surviving cannibals. Their sharp claws cut through the bones and tendons like a knife blade through water, and the flesh was separated from the joints and torn alive.
broken.
There was no loud explosion, no screech of swords, and no fierce gun battles. There was only the endless shadow, the flames suppressed by the shadow, and the looming claws in the shadow, destroying the target like dead leaves in the storm.
"Did you scream? I guess you never really screamed."
The man almost lost control of his limbs. The moment the laser gun slipped from his hand, the other party grabbed his chest, and then tightly clasped the flesh and clothing inside with his five fingers.
The leader of the cannibals immediately let out a painful gasp.
"You think you are the master of darkness? Scum, even you are just a pig and dog waiting to be slaughtered."
The giant's hand tightened, and the man vomited blood.
Then the giant turned around, stared at the statue of the Emperor covered with bones and skulls, and uttered a whisper that only he could hear.
"Can you see it all?"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled his hand out of the man's chest and took out the bones, internal organs and flesh. Some of the splashed blood sprayed on the mottled face of the emperor's statue, like a line of blood tears——
The mutilated body had fallen to the ground and rolled down the stairs, like a pile of boneless rotten meat.
