"Shut up, Offin, I'm in a bad mood," the bearded cursed.
At this moment, Genn pushed the door in, looking at Eric with a gloomy expression on his face. Upon seeing this, the two cowboys flashed to the side knowingly and interestingly. The beard seemed to have a premonition, Huo stood up, his eyes flushed and looked at Gene.
Gene finally said: "Eric, I thought I had made it clear enough before entering the town. We are here to buy food. Try not to disturb the residents of the town."
The beard snarled: "That's just a bitch. What's worth maintaining in this **** town. I took a gun from them, but gave a lesson to a kid who jumped out from nowhere. Captain, you are still on their side, don’t forget, you are the officer of Freedom Gate, not the sergeant of Gray Bridge!"
"It’s because I’m an officer at Freedom Gate, that’s why I want to defend them. It’s because of you, Eric. We are the Independence Army, not violent bandits. If you don’t know the difference, just Get out of here!" Gene said angrily. The beard laughed furiously: "Jean, you really think of yourself as the savior. Why, do you have pity on those guys? But I have to tell you that you can't help them at all. Put away your overwhelming sense of justice. , That makes me sick."
"It’s you who don’t understand, Eric." Gene said loudly: "What is the purpose of the Freedom Gate? It is to fight for legal rights from the Federation. If we use force to obtain resources from people If so, then we are inferior to the federal government. As soldiers at Freedom Gate, we should lead by example!"
Eric sneered and shook his head: "Okay, Captain Jean, I don't want to continue to struggle with you on this issue. You should leave your excess sense of justice to the poor bugs. In this era, strength That’s everything. There is no fairness at all. The weak should be exploited."
He picked up a rifle and walked towards the door: "I don't want to stay here anymore. Every minute I spend with you makes me feel sick. You are just a poor worm who can't see the situation clearly. That's it."
Beard kicked the door open, and he walked towards the town checkpoint: "What freedom and independence are all excuses! Excuses!"
Gene panting heavily, he shook his head, trying to get Eric's words out of his head. But a part of the voice in his heart told him that Eric was not entirely wrong. It’s just that Gene does not want to admit that the reason for the establishment of Freedom Gate is not so simple and noble. In that case, what he has always believed in and is willing to give everything for it will collapse.
When Eric walked alone in the wasteland, he regretted it. Looking at the sparkling lights of the small town in the distance, the bearded man wondered if he would turn back. It was night now, and the closest stronghold to the Gate of Freedom would take at least two days to walk. The wilderness at night is not very peaceful, and the danger of wandering is not something he can handle with a machine gun in his hand.
"No, I don't want to see Jean's face, let him go to hell." Eric gritted his teeth and decided to dispel this tempting idea.
After walking for a while, lights flickered in the wilderness at night. Following a beam of light across the night, Eric squatted down alertly, quickly trot to a nearby mountain bag and got down. The surface is very desolate, and few people rush on the road at night. And no matter who it is, who dares to cross the wilderness at night, it will not be the person Eric wants to meet, especially when the identity of the other party is still unclear.
He is reckless, but not stupid.
After a while, the roar of an engine came from the far side of the wilderness. There were more and more beams of light, and Eric also faintly heard some weird screams and laughter in the evening breeze. He looked far away and barely saw that it was a motorcade. As the team approached, Beard clearly saw that there were three or four off-road vehicles in the team. The vehicle has been modified, and the front beasts are decorated with unknown animal bones or even human bones, and they are fastened with iron chains. Flags were erected beside or at the rear of the car, because it was too far away, so Eric couldn't see the pattern of the flag.
One of the off-road vehicles equipped with a sharp cone baffle is also equipped with a rapid-fire cannon. Eric's eyelids jumped when he saw the rugged cannon body under the light.
Behind the off-road vehicles are some two-wheeled locomotives. The knight on the locomotive was dyed with colorful hair like a mobster, and his face was painted with weird patterns. These locomotives are basically two people sharing a car, and the people sitting behind the car wielded a chain hammer or a long knife, and laughed almost crazy.
Like a bunch of lunatics.
Eric suddenly remembered a name, Predator! Those are guys who wander on the surface and feed on people. They are lawless, just like the dangerous species in human beings. Even armed violent bandits don't want to run into monsters like predators. Eric lowered his head suddenly, almost touching his entire face to the ground. He doesn't want to be discovered by predators, no one wants to serve as food on the table of predators.
The convoy passed by in a whistling manner. Seeing the direction they were advancing, they would definitely pass through the town of Gray Bridge.
"Damn it, how come the predators are here. These cannibal **** have to be thrown into hell!" Eric looked in the direction of the town: "Offin and they are still in town, I have to inform They...no, it may be too late. God bless you, Offin."
At this moment, Eric was glad that he had left overnight.
In town, Genn washed his face and temporarily put Eric's displeasure behind him. Suddenly the cowboy got in and said in a panic: "Captain, you have to come and have a look."
"What's the matter?"
"An army, or violent bandits or something. I can't tell, anyway, some guys are coming at us. They have a lot of people, and they have weapons." The cowboy said anxiously.
Gene's expression stunned, and he walked out quickly with him to the checkpoint outside the town.
In Peter's house, Alan had just finished a not rich, but very warm dinner. Here he is like returning to the Gobi town when he was a child, but the life of the people in Huiqiao Town is obviously much better. Their food is self-sufficient. Allen ate bread with the aroma of wheat, sweet jam made with fresh fruits, and Wendy's fresh vegetable salad.
The dinner atmosphere was very pleasant. Allen told Wendy and Joe how they met Peter. Of course, in order to avoid worrying about the mother and son, Allen skipped Peter's lay-up section. In fact, Peter and Bian Rongjun, who stayed at the forward base last, can be considered to have recovered their worth as soldiers. If the cooperation between the old and the new parties continues to deepen, this frontier army may be included in the establishment of Queen Rose, and Peter will have a chance to return at that time.
Life is always full of hope.
While Wendy was packing the cutlery, Joe took Peter's rifle and said, "Allen, can you teach me how to use a gun?".
"Do you want to use it?"
Joe nodded, raised his chest as much as possible and said, "Before Dad comes back, I will protect Mom on his behalf!"
Alan's eyes flashed across the gentle face of his mother Lanni. He nodded and said, "Then let's go to the yard."
There is a small yard behind the house. Alan took the rifle from the boy: "This gun is too difficult for you to use. Look, I will teach you to use this."
He drew out the automatic pistol he used to cover up and shook it: "It's easier to use."
Following the simple method of teaching a boy to use a pistol, Allen smiled faintly when he watched Joe aim the gun rigorously. Suddenly, a bell rang in the town. Alan knew that something must have happened, Wendy hurried to the yard and said, "Hurry up, let's go to the square."
"What's the matter?" Allen asked.
Wendy apologized: "I don't know, but this bell is a signal for emergency evacuation. Something must have happened."
"I will go with you."
When Allen escorted the mother and son to the town square, most of the residents had gathered here. The elderly, women, and children were gathered together, while the men were separated on the other side. Gene stood on the clock tower and shouted to the people below: "Don't panic, we may be attacked. Now we must first concentrate on protecting women and children. As for men, I need your help in the fight."
Seeing Alan, Gene handed over the command to someone else. He hurried down the clock tower and came to Allen and said: "Sir, can you please help me too?"
"What happened?" Allen asked.
Genn pulled Alan aside and whispered: "It's a predator, a team of predators is coming towards the town. There are fifty or sixty people, and our number is too small. Need help. You..."
Jean suddenly discovered that the young man's eyes suddenly became extremely bright in front of him, as if there was a fire burning inside.
Alan trembled slightly, and Gene thought he was afraid. It's no wonder that the predators are notorious, and everywhere they go is wasteland. As long as they have heard of their names and deeds, it is normal to be afraid. But Allen spit out an inexplicable sentence: "Predators...very good! Very good!"
Genn doesn't understand what's so good about this.
At this time, there was a rumbling explosion outside the town. From a distance, a fire burst into the sky, lighting up the night.
"Damn it, it's really fast." Genn yelled, "The men take their weapons and come with me. Come on, don't let those guys come to town."
He took the hunters from the town and ran towards the entrance of the town. Suddenly, there was a flower around him, but Alan followed. The young man easily crushed Eric's fist, and his strength was the boost that Gene needed. With him joining, Bain felt that he had a better chance of winning. He said to Allen: "I haven't officially introduced it yet, I'm Jean. The second lieutenant of Freedom Gate."
"Ensign of the Federation, Allen."
Genn was taken aback, but at this moment he didn't have time to pay attention to how a Confederate ensign would come to Graybridge Town.
