Login Rewards at a Post Apocalyptic World - Chapter 38
With Bick’s decision at the critical moment, the riot in Liberty Town was barely suppressed.
The strong men comforted their families and walked up to the city wall one by one, silently taking the weapons distributed by the Liberty Town patrol team.
The young man was right. Where could they run to?
In the 100 years since the start of the War of Apocalypse, humans had been living too hard. If they continued to run, they would only be struggling to survive.
If they could defend this wall today, not only would their families be safe, they might also be able to change their lives.
We were not cowards, we just lacked a leader. When those adults could stand out and lead us to resist, what would we poor wasteland people care about?
We were already living a life of death. Every day, we struggled at the edge of life and death. Let’s fight it out!
“Help, help… open the city gate and let us in!”
“We will die, we will all die…”
Bick was searching through the system space to see if there were any useful treasures. Suddenly, he heard a flurry of footsteps and extremely panicked wails.
It was not easy and the morale had just been raised. What was this?
“The scouts who went out to investigate have retreated!” Albert said with a trembling voice and pointed at the bottom of the high wall.
Bick poked his head out to take a look. He saw seven or eight scouting soldiers who were panicking like frightened rabbits.
They used their hands and feet to knock on the city gate. There were even two guys who simply used their heads to knock on it. Even though their heads were bleeding, they still refused to stop.
It seemed that this was the only way to knock on the city gate faster. Perhaps, they just wanted to use this method to suppress the fear in their hearts.
“F*ck!” Bick could not let them continue like this. Otherwise, it would be chaotic again.
He raised his long gun and fired rapidly at the empty space at the feet of the people below. The bullets that filled the magazine were all scattered down.
Those who had not completely lost their minds were immediately awakened by the dust that rose up under their feet. They tried their best to control their companions who were still in a frenzy. After that, they simply knocked out the two who had completely gone crazy with the butt of their guns.
“Put down the basket and pull them up. Find someone who can still talk and report to us!” Bick pressed the bullets down with a “click” sound while instructing Albert to do his work.
In fact, it was not until he stood in front that Bick realized that there were no professional military talents in Liberty Town.
The seven members of Parliament were in charge of food, communications, energy, vehicles, and even the prostitutes in and out of the town. However, none of them controlled the guards and trained the armed forces that could truly protect them in the wasteland.
However, after thinking about it, one could understand what was going on. Liberty Town had a total of seven council members with similar strength as the leaders. Who would allow the other six council members to control the armed forces?
With the check and balance, each of them kept an elite 180 people as their personal guards. The guards of a total of 5,000 people were not valued at all.
Otherwise, there would not be the situation where most of the 5,000 guards even used cold weapons.
Bick had been able to arrange heavy machine guns in and around the town without arousing the suspicion of the various forces in Liberty Town. It was also due to this situation.
But now, this was not good news for Bick.
If he had know such true strength of Liberty Town, Bick would not have arranged for Albert to suggest in the parliament to search for some level one mutated beast.
“It, it’s coming, it’s coming straight to our Liberty Town! It’s too powerful, the kind of power that can not be resisted…” A scout in a daze was brought up and he was shouting randomly.
Bick glared at Albert with dissatisfaction. He didn’t like this guy no matter how he looked at it. He told him to bring someone who could report to him, but he got this one who was going crazy?
Albert was also helpless. This was the luckiest one. At least he was going crazy, and the rest had already gone crazy.
They only knew how to drool in a daze, or they were crazily self-harming.
Just as Bick was about to ask more questions, he noticed a black dot on the horizon that was getting bigger.
“Boom, boom…” The sound of a huge pile driver hitting the ground could be heard. The tremors on the ground were getting bigger, and the pebbles on the city wall started to jump.
“Haha, it’s coming, it’s coming. It’s coming with death and destruction. We’re all going to die, we’re all going to die!” The only scout who still had some sense was completely mad. He roared at the sky while laughing maniacally.
“Bang!”
Without waiting for Bick to stop him, this fellow leaped and directly jumped off the city wall.
“Haha, cough cough”
The city wall that was five to six meters tall did not let the scout die immediately. He spat out blood and laughed maniacally at the same time.
Bick raised his long gun and directly smashed the other party’s head, giving him a quick death.
Otherwise, the morale that he had worked so hard to raise would be drained again.
“This distance is at least 1,000 to 2,000 yards. How big Is this guy?” Bick looked into the distance, his heart was pounding.
“At least 10 meters. It’s… It’s too huge!” Old Bob swallowed his saliva and answered with some difficulty.
As the security chief of the Wealthy District, Old Bob’s combat literacy was not bad. Although his skills and tactical skills had declined greatly in his old age, he definitely did not lack experience.
Observing from a distance and judging the size of the target was the most basic ability.
“Sh*t!” Bick cursed in a low voice. Looking at the setting sun, he was a little anxious.
He had calculated the resources in the system space just now. Facing such a huge monster like butcher, he did not have much confidence in defeating the enemy and winning.
Originally, he had encouraged the people of Liberty Town to stay until midnight so that he would have time to sign in and receive a new reward.
Bick did not place his hopes on the people of Liberty Town. The only requirement was to hold the butcher off for a few hours.
But now, it seemed that a few hours was an extravagant hope.
Not to mention the butcher’s huge body, the walls of Liberty Town that were five to six meters tall barely reached its waist. It could just raised its leg and walked over.
Even the other party’s soaring killing intent made the people who faced it lose their value.
Giant phobia was the fear left behind in the genes of the human ancestors. Facing a giant beast that was far beyond imagination, there were not many warriors who could stand up straight.
“Master, Emily can’t break the seal to protect you…” Emily’s charming voice suddenly sounded in Bick’s heart.
Without waiting for Emily to finish, Bick interrupted her, “This is not your fault. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
How could Bick not know what the so-called seal was? It was already good enough for the system to give Emily to him in advance. What more could he ask for?
Unexpectedly, Emily continued, “But, I can lend you a part of my power.”
