Jason, the ‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder were walking in the wilderness of Area 30, one behind the other.
The entire area 30 is a vast wilderness. In addition to stones, there are gray plants. The former are hard and the latter are poisonous.
'Food' like 'bitter vine' can be said to be the only life in this wilderness.
"'Bitter Vine' was something Jin sent someone to teach me to identify before I entered Area 30. There are also some clean water sources."
As Lauren Delder walked, she whispered to the 'old man'.
"That guy knows Area 30 far better than anyone else."
The ‘old man’ said with certainty.
There is no doubt about this, Lauren Delder nodded immediately.
"Not only the 30th arrondissement, but also the uptown area."
"I feel like a fool."
"How did I have the confidence before to think that I could become that guy's collaborator, or even surpass him?"
Lauren Delder smiled bitterly.
Since suffering a series of blows, Lauren Derde's self-confidence has been greatly damaged.
I also learned to laugh at myself.
The 'old man' didn't mind this.
On the contrary, he felt that Lauren Delder was easy to get along with in this state.
"At least, you are still alive."
The 'old man' smiled and comforted.
"This is the only thing I can be proud of now."
"before……"
"It's really like sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
Lauren Delder took a deep breath and smiled.
yes!
He is still alive.
That's enough!
Is there anything more important than living?
That will naturally lead to a better life!
This is what he is now.
Involuntarily, Lauren Delder reached out and touched the two large backpacks on her back. Inside were the cans that she had originally brought, as well as the supplies that the 'enforcers' carried with them.
Many of them are good things.
For example: energy bars.
Although the taste and taste are average, one stick of this stuff can last a whole day.
Lauren Delder had only heard of similar things before.
If it wasn't for the 'old man' who explained it, he wouldn't have known what it was.
Of course, what makes Lauren Delder happiest is that there are also chocolates, sugars and instant drinks.
Who doesn't like chocolate?
Who doesn’t like sweetness?
When the two become one, who can refuse?
Lauren Delder couldn't think of it at all.
Anyway, he was full of expectations.
Because Jason had just promised him that after finding a new 'safe house', he would share a piece of chocolate, three candies and three packs of instant drinks.
Thinking of Jason's promise, Lauren Delder became full of energy.
Compared to Lauren Delder, the 'old man' is much more normal.
The boss of District 16 is enough to allow him to eat food that a person from a lower-class background like Lauren Delder would never dare to think of.
Therefore, the 'old man' now has other issues on his mind.
"Lauren, what's going on with the 'Freedom Army'?"
'Old man' asked.
Jason, who was walking in front, also paid more attention.
"I'm not very familiar with these guys from the 'Freedom Army', but I know that these guys are a thorn in Jin's side and a thorn in his side. 'Jin' has said more than once that he wants to kill these bastards."
Lauren Delder replied subconsciously.
However, after the words came out, Lauren Delder added in an unconfident tone: "I'm not sure if that guy is acting. After all, with the strength that guy showed, I feel that the 'Free Army' is no match for him.
"
"The 'Freedom Army' is far more powerful than you think."
"The history of their appearance in the ring city of the lower city of the 'Sleepless City' far exceeds the time of the appearance of 'Jin'."
"When I was very young, I heard about the 'Freedom Army'."
As the 'old man' spoke, he raised his hand and gestured at his waist.
That height is the height of a six or seven year old child.
"How long did it take?"
Lauren Delder looked surprised.
The big man’s former collaborator did not know the ‘Freedom Army’.
He knew about the 'Freedom Army' not long ago.
"It will take longer than you think."
"Because the person who told me about the 'Freedom Army' at that time was my father."
"He also heard about the 'Freedom Army' when he was very young."
The 'old man' said this.
"hiss!"
"Wouldn't that mean that the 'Freedom Army' is almost a hundred years old?"
Lauren Delder turned to look at the 'old man' for confirmation.
The 'old man' nodded.
"The history of the Free Army is beyond doubt."
"But the behavior of the 'Freedom Army' is changing."
"When I was young, the 'Freedom Army' was an organization that many young people aspired to, but when I grew up, it almost became an urban legend in the 'city that never sleeps'."
"By the time I'm old, it's become an urban legend."
The 'old man''s emotion made Lauren Delder scratch her head.
This big shot's former collaborator always felt that there was something in what the 'old man' said, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
After thinking for a long time, Lauren Delder finally chose to give up.
"What do you mean 'old man'?"
"Just say it!"
"It makes me uncomfortable to go around like this."
After admitting that she was not very smart, Lauren Delder completely let go of her so-called 'nihilistic self-esteem'. When facing the 'old man' and Jason, if there was anything she didn't understand, she simply asked.
"'Old man,' have you ever had contact with the 'Freedom Army' at that time?"
Jason, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.
"Um."
"I've had a little bit of contact with it."
"However, it is too dangerous. I am a cautious person. After a little contact, I will stay away completely."
The 'old man' admitted frankly, but there was lingering fear on his face.
Because, when he was still young, when he came into contact with the "Freedom Army", the warning in his heart rang through his mind, just like an air raid siren, making him feel scared.
In fact, his prediction was correct.
From that time on the 'Freedom Army' became radicalized.
Several consecutive tragedies were caused by the "Freedom Army".
However, it only took a while.
Soon the "Freedom Army" disappeared.
No!
To be precise, it became weird.
“What exactly does the ‘Freedom Army’ look like?”
The words of the ‘old man’ aroused Lauren Delder’s interest, and she immediately started asking questions.
The subsequent topic centered on the 'Freedom Army'.
The old man talked about everything he knew about the "Freedom Army".
This narration continued until I saw the 1 kilometer road sign.
"You can tell me about it when you find a new 'safe house'."
Lauren Derde said without saying anything.
The 'old man''s narration was not straightforward.
Instead, it was interspersed with all kinds of anecdotes that Lauren Delder had never heard before. This suddenly attracted Lauren Delder. He wanted to move to a small bench and listen to the "old man" talk.
However, even if he still wanted to listen, Lauren Delder knew that it was not the time now.
We are about to leave the 'safe zone'.
Lauren Delder became vigilant.
So does the ‘old man’.
The former boss of District 16 squinted his eyes and looked around, not missing a single detail.
Especially about the alarm in my heart.
What’s more, pay special attention to the differences.
But at this time, Jason's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"You guys retreat first."
"Lauren, protect the 'old man'."
Jason then spoke.
"Know."
Lauren Delder grabbed the 'old man's' arm, and the two of them dived underground.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Shortly after the two disappeared, the ground suddenly shook.
From being there or not to being slight, then to being obvious.
A huge creature came from a distance.
In the morning sunlight, such a huge creature is extremely clear and even more ferocious.
Because this huge creature has no flesh and blood at all.
All there are are skeletons and machines.
The thick leg bones support the huge body, a pair of slender but sharp claws and a thicker tail bone, which makes people feel horrified when they see it, especially when they see the flames ignited in the skull.
.
That is complete soul oppression.
That is the oppression that is imprinted in the soul of other creatures while the other person is still alive.
Even if it's death.
At this time, it still exists.
When alive, it and its tribe were called——
Dragon!
And after death, they are still terrifying.
Especially when you can move!
No more flesh and blood.
The previous wisdom and alignment have also completely changed.
Especially after it has been transformed!
The originally crawling bone dragon turned into an upright walking bone dragon!
No more bone wings.
Instead, there were two large-caliber Vulcan cannons.
The six muzzles of each Vulcan cannon are large and dark.
The heavy ammunition chain exposed the ammunition box, which glowed with a metallic luster in the sun.
Just seeing it will give you chills.
However, what concerned Jason the most was the bulges on the opponent's back. There were as many as ten, and each one was made of metal.
Although you can't see it, it's definitely not a harmless item inside.
Jason took a deep breath.
A touch of excitement appeared on his face.
Rich 'food' flavour.
Although there is no flesh and blood, the bones are still good things.
“Making soup!”
Jason's eyes lit up.
At the same time, the Mechanical Bone Dragon also discovered Jason. Deep in the 20-meter-high Mechanical Bone Dragon's eye socket, the burning soul fire jumped rapidly, and an invisible sense of oppression fell from the sky.
Longwei!
To be precise, it is incomplete Longwei!
But even if it is incomplete Longwei, it is still Longwei.
Lauren Delder's face changed as she dived underground.
Pulling the 'old man' along, he dived deeper.
At the same time, start adjusting your breathing rhythm.
Even though she relied on her ability to sneak into the underground, Lauren Delder still needed to breathe.
He supports an invisible force field, and the air he breathes is brought in from the ground.
Lauren Delder needs to breathe.
The same goes for ‘Old Man’.
Although there was no reminder from Lauren Derde, the 'old man' also deliberately started to adjust his breathing.
Strong enemy!
Although I didn't see what it was.
But that sense of oppression told both of them that this was an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
Jason will probably be in for a tough fight.
To cause trouble for Jason.
They have to stay away from the battlefield for longer periods of time.
The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
And on the ground——
Bang bang bang!
Two large-caliber Vulcan cannons opened fire.
Palm-sized bullet casings flew randomly, and the bullets hit the ground one after another, forming a pit that could bury an adult alive, and it was endless.
The firing rate of nearly 6,000 rounds per minute can cover almost the entire small battlefield.
Even armored vehicles will be penetrated.
What if infantry encountered it?
It was hell.
After two such large-caliber Vulcan cannons fired simultaneously, the unprotected infantrymen were left with only casualties.
If you are lucky, you may be missing arms or legs.
Bad luck?
There is nothing left but no bones left.
Because as long as that kind of large-caliber 'cannonball' rubs the torso, leaving a cloud of blood mist, it is certain to die, and it is impossible to survive.
However, Jason was safe and sound.
The rate of fire of the Vulcan Cannon is terrifying.
Especially the two Vulcan cannons, fired by twelve muzzles, were even more despairing.
However, the activation of the Vulcan cannon takes time.
Jason seized the opportunity.
The whole person rushed towards the mechanical bone dragon with layers of phantoms.
With two large-caliber Vulcan cannons around, fighting at a distance is really looking for death.
This is the same even if Jason's body at this moment has a defense comparable to that of a fighter jet.
Under this large-caliber Vulcan cannon, the tank seemed to be made of paper, and the fighter plane was just a slightly harder paper shell.
Above the fighter level, a layer of foam plastic is added to the paper shell.
There are no fundamental changes.
It just delays the time slightly.
It's simply impossible to resist.
Unless you can advance to the next level.
Otherwise, staying where you are is courting death.
Following an irregular route, Jason quickly approached the mechanical bone dragon in front of him, followed by Vulcan cannon bullets coming with inertia.
And just when Jason was about to approach the mechanical bone dragon, the 10 bulges on the back of the mechanical bone dragon opened.
Rockets were revealed one after another.
Each drum contains 16 rockets.
There are 160 rockets in ten bulges.
At this time, it was revealed without reservation that there was an irony in the beating soul fire.
It has lost most of its wisdom.
But that doesn't mean it becomes a fool.
Especially the fighting instinct is integrated deep into the soul.
After being transformed again, this fighting instinct has been greatly improved.
Design prey.
It's natural, it's a no-brainer.
The next moment, all the rockets soared into the sky, covering Jason's location, including within a kilometer of the surrounding area -
Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
Rockets rained down, and the ground began to tremble.
Smoke and dust rise noisily.
The burning soul eyes of the mechanical bone dragon scanned the earth.
It is confirming the life and death of the opponent.
Soon, it got accurate information.
The opponent is dead.
roar!
Raising its head, the mechanical bone dragon let out a silent roar.
It turned its huge body and prepared to return.
This is just a transaction.
It just follows orders.
As for more?
It doesn't know and won't care.
All it knows is that after its mission is completed, it will return to its lair.
The giant dragon has lost a huge part of its wisdom. Even though it has gained stronger fighting instincts and combat effectiveness by relying on machinery, it still has lost its due 'rank'.
It didn't notice that in the smoke and dust behind it, a figure appeared again.
