Login Rewards at a Post Apocalyptic World - Chapter 37
The search party had just set off and had yet to pull apart the distance between them when they received a request for help from the small party which had gone to kill the fat monster.
Controlling the fat monster from sucking fat every day did not mean that they would not monitor and defend themselves.
The fat monster’s failure to evolve previously was not due to its wrong direction of its evolution. Instead, it was forcefully interrupted by the harvesting party of Liberty Town.
The difference between the two was huge. When the fat monster realized that it could not do anything, it directly chose to hide a portion of its strength.
The bone spear that had been cut off was still left with a section that was hidden in the thick fat.
Recently, it was at the critical moment of its breakthrough. It was unable to control its energy and was exposed, which was why it was detected by the surveillance device.
By the time the Liberty Town meeting ended and they decided to kill it to ensure their safety, it was already too late!
After listening to Albert’s report, Bick looked at the other party suspiciously.
“Mr. William, I really didn’t arrange this!” Albert immediately defended himself.
“Back then, when I proposed to let go the fat monster, I was actually just giving you a pledge of allegiance as a sign of loyalty. A monster that was interrupted in its evolution process by a human and then controlled to absorb fat on the spot successfully evolved, it would definitely go berserk. Such a level one mutated beast will definitely not stop until it kills all the humans that can be found nearby!”
Bick’s brain was going crazy. “It’s so dangerous, and you still suggested it? Then what’s going on now? Forget it, it’s not helpful to solve the problem at this time. Go and summon the council to issue a notice to let the surrounding survivors enter the wall. Those who can pick up weapons, get ready for battle!”
“Let them in?” Albert was a little hesitant.
As soon as he finished speaking, a furious and brutal roar came from afar. That voice was full of malice, as if it would drag the entire world into hell before it would stop.
“Why aren’t you going?” Bick urged loudly, “If someone takes advantage of the situation, don’t you still have the patrol team in your hands? In a chaotic world, a heavy punishment is used. Anyone who causes trouble at this time will be hanged!”
“Yes, yes…”Albert heaved a huge sigh of relief. With this sentence, things would be easier to handle.
He was afraid of Bick’s benevolence. He did not know the nature of these wastelands visitors.
Taking advantage of the chaos to rob and celebrate the end of the world was too normal for these guys.
At this time, Bick could not care less about hiding his identity.
He was afraid of attracting the attention of the other six members of Parliament, so he wanted to wait for Emily to turn them into blood slaves in two months.
However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.
Since that was the case, he went straight to the front.
Since Bick had shown his tricks before, and he had enough food to rely on, if he could get rid of this rampaging butcher this time, not only could he get the essence of a level-one mutant beast to make potions, but he could even directly take control of Liberty Town.
Emily could only come out once a month for one night, which was very precious. If he could save three slots at a time, he would save as much as possible.
These senators were all in their forties or fifties, and they were not combatants. Their only use was to take control of Liberty Town.
After seeing how happy Albert was after becoming a blood slave, Bick did not really want to give all the blood slave slots to them.
The blood slave physique, which could increase their immunity and extend their lifespan, was more like a reward than a control over the other party to become a puppet.
These days, those who could survive had a good quality of life. Whether they were puppets or not was the same.
The poor people who were blocking the entrance of Liberty Town immediately became much more stable after receiving the notice that they could enter the town.
After all, with the protection of the walls, they could bring about a great sense of security.
As for those who took advantage of the situation, Liberty Town guards did not stand on ceremony and directly hung them at the entrance.
By the time everyone had basically squeezed into the town, the team that carried out the elimination of the fat monster had already returned in defeat. If it were not for the eight search teams that just happened to arrive in time to support them, they would not even be able to return.
Even so, there were less than 300 people who had abandoned their armor and returned to the town.
Looking at the dusty faces of the people, everyone standing on the town wall had ugly expressions on their faces.
There were a total of 500 people guarding the fat monster’s base. Adding in the thousands of people who had gone to eliminate it, there were also 800 people from the search teams.
Only a fraction from more than 2,000 people had returned. How could this not make everyone panic.
There were only 5,000 guards in the entire Liberty Town, and the ones sent out were elites. The remaining 2,000 people were old, weak, sick, and disabled. The weapons in their hands were all cold weapons.
Despair enveloped the entire Liberty Town. Even the thugs who were eager to enjoy the doomsday revelry lowered their heads listlessly, ready to receive the final verdict of fate.
“Look at your cowardice! This is your home, with your parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters. Do you want to stretch your necks and wait for death? Wait for that monster to destroy your home and chew up all your relatives?” Bick was furious, he stood on the high wall and roared.
His voice resounded through the loudspeakers that filled the entire town.
“Even if we die, we will die on the path of the charge. The nuclear war did not destroy us, and biochemical crisis did not drive us out. As survivors, we have struggled in the wasteland for a hundred years. This means that God has not abandoned us!”
As Bick’s words were spoken, the divine light in the eyes of the townspeople fluctuated. It was as if a spark of hope had been ignited.
“It sounds so good to hear. What hope is there at this time?” The old man who was also standing on the high wall suddenly interrupted Bick’s speech.
He turned his head in anger and saw that it was Old Bobby, the councilman who was in charge of the transportation of Liberty Town.
Bick did not bother to pay attention to him. This kind of guy who was not clear-headed and only opposed him for the sake of opposing him, finding fault with anything and did nothing, arguing with him would only waste his breath and was useless.
However, Bick ignored him, and Old Bobby thought that he had caught the loophole in Bick’s words. He immediately said proudly, “At this time, we should escape. Those who want to leave, quickly come to the parking lot and register. I only have three big trucks and a bus. The seats are limited…”
“Boom!”
A gunshot interrupted old Bobby’s advertisement. His wide-opened mouth was still emitting green smoke. The setting sun shone directly through the big hole in the back of his head.
“Oh, my God! How dare you?”
“Old Bobby, he killed Old Bobby!”
“Guards, guards…”
Screams and roars were heard. The high wall was in a mess for a moment. No one had expected that Bick would attack without hesitation.
“Shut the f*ck up!” Bick roared and then glanced at the crowd fiercely. “If anyone tries to escape again, he will be a role model!”
Just a few trucks was like a drop in the bucket to the tens of thousands of people in the town.
If some of the higher-ups ran away at this time, the remaining townspeople would not be organized. They would definitely be massacred by that monster.
