Chapter 1065: Stumbling
Chapter 1065: Stumbling
Yan Laowu’s eyes turned red. Although he was a five-star evolved and seemed like a powerful person in the apocalypse, he knew he was nothing in the eyes of the truly strong people.
His current business was just him taking advantage of something the big bosses didn’t care about.
If it were exposed, those people wouldn’t mind punishing him.
In the apocalypse, punishment often meant death.
“Enter quick, enter quick!”
Yan Laowu charged to the back of the team and pushed them into the gate. All he could do was wait for these people to enter quickly and then leave. He had to disappear before that big boss appeared.
Logically speaking, he had enough time. After all, with the evolved’s speed, they didn’t need much time to pass the gate. It might just take a few seconds.
But don’t forget that they evolved because of the wheel. The sound of an engine didn’t mean it was an ordinary transportation device.A metal beast arrived under the walls within a few seconds.
This was a product that came from the wheel that exceeded this era. It looked like a vicious mechanical spider but had four legs, each with metal wheels. On the wheels was a complicated mechanical joint that seemed like a knee. It was obvious that the four legs could not only be used as wheels but also had a terrifying jumping ability.
On the four legs was an oval-shaped metallic body slightly bigger than an SUV. You couldn’t tell which was the front, but you could see many sensors and mechanical eyes that were protected by some small structures.
Apart from these were the weapon barrels. There were six to seven of them, and no one knew what weapons they were.
This caused the guards’ faces to turn white.
They were too familiar with this lab spider. It belonged to the boss of Bright Water Fortress, Gong Shangming.
These guards allowed these people in because they received benefits, and things were okay if it wasn’t discovered, but if they were…
Many people started to shiver.
Yan Laowu turned around. Those people who hadn’t entered had a worried expression. When they saw Yan Laowu, they knew that things had become complicated.
“Yan Laowu?”
A weird voice spread from the land spider; it should have been from a sound device.
“Gong, Boss Gong!”
Yan Laowu bent his back and nearly knelt down.
A squad arrived behind them. Although they were driving ordinary cars, everyone could tell they were modified. It wasn’t traditional modifications, but some people used their jobs to modify them. Some of the cars looked very different from what they used to.
Ye Zhongming stood behind the gate and looked through the gaps. He knew that this Gong Shangming or his subordinates should be a great modifier. As for whether it was a mechanic modifier or a car modifier, that was uncertain.
“Zi,” a door opened at the side of the land spider. A middle-aged guy jumped out in black leather armor. There was a golden button and badge, which looked beautiful under the flame light.
“Did you treat my words as nonsense?”
Gong Shangming’s words weren’t loud, but they were like a mountain pressing Yan Laowu’s back down. This five-star evolved actually knelt down.
“Who is on duty?”
He ignored Yan Laowu and turned towards the city gate.
That person who traded with Yan Laowu shuddered and walked ahead. He lowered his head and clenched his fist while apologizing.
A woman got out of the vehicle and asked Gong Shangming something.
“Do you know where he stays?”
“Yes. He is Da Dulai, a subordinate of Jian Chen.”
Gong Shangming nodded, and suddenly, a thin but very explosive metal whip shot out from his leg armor.
The metal whip stabbed toward the guard called Da Dulai.
Da Dulai frowned and retreated. Two balls of flames appeared on his hands, and he raised his arm to punch Gong Shangming.
Although he was a four-star evolved, he dared to resist when facing Gong Shangming, a six-star evolved.
But the gap was huge. The sharp metal whip pierced through his chin and into his neck, exiting through the back of his head.
The flames in his hand extinguished, and he stumbled twice before falling to the ground. He twitched and died.
The metal whip retracted like a snake and was hidden back under his leather armor.
“Search his body and then search his house. I want him to spit everything that he has eaten.” Gong Shangming didn’t even look at Da Dulai and walked forward. He kicked Yan Laowu, and this muscular guy hit the wall. When he landed, he spat out some fresh blood.
“What do we do with these people?” The woman asked and pointed at the people who wanted to enter Fallen Water Fortress.
“Them?” Gong Shangming scoffed, “Didn’t they come to get rich, then let me give them a chance to get rich.”
“Toss them to the mines. Deacon Shui needs large amounts of gems. Collect more before Bright Water Feast, and we can exchange it for more benefits.”
He waved at his battle squad and surrounded them, forcing them into the city. Anyone who dared to resist was killed.
Only Yan Laowu lay there until the woman beside Gong Shangming asked a few sentences. He jumped up emotionally and slapped his chest to swear to the heavens.
Ye Zhongming planned to leave, but after hearing Deacon Shui and gems, he didn’t and just followed this group.
He felt like he was lucky. He stumbled around and got close to Bright Water Feast’s secret.
Water could be heard in the distance. It was a waterfall flowing off a cliff. That was where Fallen Water Fortress got its name.
The mine that Gong Shangming talked about was behind the waterfall.
