Chapter 290: Traitor and Factory (Da Zhang Monthly Pass)
The shining laser cannon flashed past, and the blazing light made the originally bright light bulb dim.
Huge energy hit the wall of the corridor, burning a molten hole.
And in the darkness reflected by the shining laser cannon, a ghost-like figure appeared in an instant.
Keng——
This is the sound of a solid blade hitting metal.
The sharp scimitar cut through Hank's clothes and penetrated his body. The strong bionic breastplate was pierced, vaguely revealing the machine shining with electric light inside.
At the moment of the collision, Hank's feet ejected air, and he used the huge thrust to widen the distance from He Ao.
But the scimitar hanging on his chest opened an even bigger gash in his body.
He Ao did not attack further, but his eyes fell on Hank's chest.
But his attention was not on the huge gash on his chest, but on the bionic skin on his chest.
To be precise, it was the ice wolf tattoo that had been mostly destroyed on the bionic skin.
At this moment, he finally understood the identity of the person in front of him.
He held the scimitar in his backhand and looked at Hank calmly, "Is this prosthetic body what you got from selling the camp?"
"Did you recognize me?"
Hank smiled evilly, and the wound on his chest emitted electric light. He already understood that he was probably no match for He Ao.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a strong iron fence, with the imprisoned people behind him.
These weak people were also reacting to the sudden change at this moment. The woman sitting at the front saw He Ao standing outside through the iron fence. There was a hint of surprise on her face, and a hoarse voice fell out of her mouth.
Out, "Chief?!"
Hank glanced at He Ao, pressed his palm on the iron fence, opened the muzzle of the palm, and said with a smile, "Get out, or I will kill them."
He Ao stood at the dining table, stopped and stared at the strong man in front of him.
This Hank is the "wilderness wanderer" who gave up his defense and escaped during the attack by the bitter ape.
Because of his escape, the alien beasts broke through the defense line, allowing the Revenant Hunter to sneak into the core battlefield with mercenaries. Eventually, Ronald's father was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Ape and was seriously injured.
Later, after investigation, it was discovered that this guy had taken money from a wilderness hunter and ran away on purpose.
He was not a refugee from a homeless camp as he claimed to be, but a fugitive from Rock City in the north.
The reason why He Ao didn't recognize him at the first time was because when he arrived at the camp, he was covered in broken machinery. His face below the eyes was basically completely destroyed, with only the remaining ice wolf pattern on his chest.
Originally, not long before that incident, Ronal's father saw that he had almost accumulated merits, and planned to give him some money to replace him with a brand new prosthetic body, but he did not expect that he would betray the camp.
At that time, in order to prevent foreign homeless people from being squeezed out by the native homeless people in the camp because of this incident, Ronald's father did not announce the incident. Instead, he increased the inspection process for foreign homeless people and issued a reward to dispatch people to catch this guy.
.
But as the camp gradually declined, the camp gradually had no more resources to find this traitor, allowing him to remain at large until now.
Unexpectedly, this guy was hiding in Chenxi City incognito, and was secretly deceiving wilderness wanderers.
In a sense, the defection of the guy in front of him was one of the direct reasons that led to the death of Ronal's father and the rapid decline of the camp.
"You guys really didn't take action," Hank looked at He Ao looking at him calmly and sneered,
"You are really just like your stubborn father, stuck in this hypocritical morality and unable to get out.
In fact, I knew that he wanted to replace me with a prosthetic body, but how strong a prosthetic body could he replace me with? At most, it was just a set of E-class junk.
And the price offered by The Revenant can replace me with a set of D-class prosthetics. In front of gold, even a king has to take off his hat. I can only blame you for giving me too little money."
While Hank was talking, the trembling boy in the corner slowly raised his head, took out a Gauss gun from his arms, raised the muzzle little by little, and pointed it at He Ao.
And He Ao seemed to be completely attracted by Hank's words and looked at Hank calmly.
"And these idiots behind me, they actually don't recognize me at all. I told them that I was a wilderness hunter who had been favored by your bastard father, and they actually believed me.
I used some words and foolishly told me that your father died and how you were escaping for your lives, and then followed me into the city obediently, thinking that I could really find a job for them in the city."
Hank smiled and continued, "Although I do have to help them find jobs."
While he was talking, the boy had pointed the gun at He Ao's head and pressed his finger on the trigger.
"Chief, be careful!"
A girl with short hair walked to the door. She saw the boy's actions and shouted.
This sentence became the trigger that triggered the whole situation.
The boy hurriedly wanted to press the trigger, and Hank quickly raised his hand and moved to the window aside, widening the distance from He Ao. At the same time, he opened the palms of his hands. The muzzle emerged and was aimed at He Ao.
profound.
In this flash of lightning, He Ao suddenly pulled out the dagger inserted on the table and threw it with his hand.
The sharp dagger pierced the younger brother's throat the moment before he pulled the trigger, nailing him to the wall behind him.
At the same time, Hank, who was aiming at He Ao and preparing to fire, suddenly felt that the gold jewelry on the small box at the door had a great attraction for him, which made him temporarily distracted.
Temptation!
By the time he came to his senses, the sharp scimitar had already arrived in front of him.
"You're not Class D?"
At this last moment, he could only ask this question hoarsely.
The silver sword flashed past, pierced his chest, and took his body to the window behind him.
Countless glass shards flew out, and the sharp scimitar pierced his energy core.
At this moment, the shining electric light overflowed from the wound on the machine body, and Hank's strong body broke away from the earth, flew out of the broken window, and flew into the vast night.
He Ao pulled out his machete and turned around.
Fiery flames exploded behind him, and countless flying fragments hit the wall, like bright fireworks lighting up the dark night.
Penny stood at the door, staring blankly at this gorgeous scene.
She walked a little slower than He Ao, so she was a little late, but she didn't expect that everything would be over just as she arrived.
He Ao walked to the iron fence. Next to it was a password switch. It seemed that you had to enter the password to open the fence.
He glanced at the switch, directly raised the machete, cut off several pillars of the iron fence, and dismantled the entire fence.
The people imprisoned in the corner raised their heads and stared blankly at the figure who had removed his imprisonment. The bright light shone on him, coating his whole body with a faint brilliance.
Just like the savior sent by God in the story.
"leader."
The woman at the front opened her mouth and shouted hoarsely. Her lips were very dry. She wanted to move, but she fell to the ground weakly. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't squeeze out the tears.
"Don't worry,"
He Ao said softly, and his eyes swept over the people detained here. Everyone raised their heads and focused their eyes on him. Everyone's eyes were shining with light at this moment.
He turned back and looked at Penny, who was walking towards her. "Look, there should be glucose injection or rapid recovery nutrient solution in this room. Revenant hunters always have some of these things."
"Ah good!"
Penny nodded and walked into other rooms.
And He Ao was looking at the people imprisoned here. There were eight people in total here, all of whom were from a previous group that got separated.
But there must have been seventeen people who got separated with them at that time.
He Ao knelt down and asked doubtfully, "Where are the other people? Have they separated from you?"
Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know where to start. Finally, the woman closest to He Ao said softly,
"They couldn't bear the hunger and beatings, so they went to the factory."
"factory?"
He Ao was stunned.
"That Hank told us that he would take us to the city to find jobs. There is no danger in the city." A thin man next to him slowly added, "In fact, he wanted us to go to a factory."
"He said that the factory provided food and accommodation, and there were no intrusions from strange animals. It was much better than being in the wilderness."
"Originally we were ready to go, but the night before departure, Linda got up and met another old homeless man. He ran away from the factory and was caught by this gang and beaten overnight."
Linda was the weak woman who spoke first. She was Penny's cousin and one of the better hunters in the camp. He Ao turned his attention to her.
"I didn't say anything at the time," Linda said softly. "I didn't go to find the old man until they all rested."
At this time, Penny brought out a box of glucose injections. He Ao tore open the injections and handed them to everyone one by one with Penny.
After handing it over, Linda took the glucose injection and was about to continue talking. He Ao motioned for her to drink some injection first.
"Don't be impatient. Drink a little first and speak slowly."
People who have been hungry for a long time have damaged gastrointestinal function and are extremely weak. Glucose injection can be directly absorbed by the body to replenish energy, water, and electrolytes.
Linda looked at He Ao, took a sip of the injection obediently, and continued,
"The old man said that all the work in the factory is high-intensity work, and you have to work sixteen to eighteen hours a day. If you slack off in the middle, you will be whipped by the foreman. Some people will be beaten to death by the foreman, and some will be beaten while doing it.
Because he had not slept well for a long time, he fell into a machine and was hanged to death because of his distraction.
The old man said that if you work there, your hair will turn gray in your twenties, and you will be exhausted within a few years.
The foremen are all wilderness hunters. Apart from food and accommodation, they don't get a penny when entering the factory. All the money is taken by the foremen. Most of the wilderness wanderers inside have expired visas. Some wanderers want to run away.
They will be threatened by the foreman to throw them to the city defense army and drive them out of the city.
Even if someone is not afraid of being kicked out of the city and runs away secretly, he will be caught by the foreman, hung in the corridor and beaten.
The old man ran out of the factory when the foreman was not paying attention. However, he was old and his body collapsed in the factory. He could not survive back in the wilderness. He could only wander on the street and was soon arrested by the gang again.
Come back."
Speaking of this, Linda took a sip of the injection and said, "I told the others about this. We were planning to sneak away at night, but we were discovered by that Hank. They locked us up in two batches. We were hungry again.
After another beating, the other people couldn't hold on any longer and were sent to the factory two days ago."
She paused and said, "We can hold on longer, but if you don't come, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on anymore. Even if you die in the factory, you can always live for two more days."
He Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Does anyone know where the factory is?"
Although Ronald became the leader in times of crisis, Hank's words are indeed correct. Ronald and his father are similar in some aspects, such as the sense of responsibility of the leader.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Ronald was able to successfully take over as leader without any opposition.
Although Wade can defeat everyone, when he is the deputy leader, many people are still dissatisfied.
The news about this factory also gave He Ao a clue about the main mission.
So he needs to go to the factory to 'see' it.
Although all of Hank's people are dead, judging from these descriptions, there should be a lot of wilderness hunters in Chenxi City. If Linda and the others don't know the address of the factory, there should be a way for He Ao to find other wilderness hunters.
'Asked'.
"The old man said," Linda thought for a moment, seeming to recall, "at No. 135, 79th Avenue."
