The Dark King C1064

Chapter 1064 – Chapter 153: Highway Of Death

The Army's war vehicle escorted them to the edge of the city. Dudian and the others saw several black beast-like cars parked on the roadside. The quality of the cars was obvious from the texture of the paint, these cars were top-grade cars.

A middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo was waiting by the side of the car. He was dressed meticulously. His hair was very neat. He had dyed blonde hair which made him look like an upper-class aristocrat, the dark golden hand on his wrist showed his mature temperament. He waved to the war vehicle and waited for it to stop. He came forward to show his identity. He was the assistant in charge of the administration department sent by the HAWSK company to pick up Dudian and the others.

Dudian and the others were surprised to see that an assistant in charge of the administration department looked so elegant. They had a deeper understanding of the HAWSK company.

The few of them got off the vehicle and were transferred to the black car. Dudian understood that in peacetime in the federation, army vehicles were prohibited to enter the city. This rule made him smell a different meaning.

The car drove along the road into the city. The scenery outside the window was getting clearer. The fog that shrouded the road gradually faded. It didn't take long for Dudian to see that there were people on the road in front of the car, they were walking with crutches. They looked like beggars. Their hair was disheveled as they walked along the road.

The car approached. It seemed that Dudian heard the roar of the car engine. He looked back and saw a dirty face. It was a teenager but he was starving. The Rag on his chest was lifted up by the wind, the ribs inside were shriveled. It was a shocking sight.

The teenager's eyes suddenly lit up as he saw the car. He opened his hand and rushed towards the middle of the road. He stretched out his hand to stop the car.

“Damn scavengers!”The middle-aged man in a tuxedo who was sitting in the passenger seat saw the teenager's figure. He cursed in a low voice. His tone was full of disgust. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth, he ordered the driver to roll down the window and reach out to the window. There was a gun in his hand!

Dudian's eyes flashed cold as he saw the gun.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out. The youth who tried to stop the car was shot to death. The middle-aged man's marksmanship was very outstanding. He directly hit the youth's forehead. The terrifying power of the bullet blew up the youth's head, the teenager's head turned into a headless corpse and fell down. Blood flowed out and dyed the road red.

“Go around.”The middle-aged man pulled back his hand and rolled up the window. He used a handkerchief to cover his mouth to wipe the gun. It seemed that the gun was infected with germs. He wiped the gun very carefully, at the same time, he coldly ordered the driver.

The driver's technology was very skillful. The body of the car shook slightly and went around the body of the teenager. The people sitting in the car didn't feel much shaking.

Dudian looked out of the window. The blood of the teenager was still flowing out from his neck. The wind of the car drove the leaves on the ground to cover up the blood. However more blood was flowing out from the leaves.

Dudian turned his head and looked at the other three pilots in the car. He found that their expressions were normal. It seemed that they were used to it.

He was silent for a moment. He suddenly felt that something was missing in his heart. He didn't know what was missing but there was a voice muttering in his heart: it was the same everywhere..

When he first entered the federation, he saw tall steel buildings, beautiful buildings and clean cities. He felt that the civilization here had never been lost. He felt as if he had returned to his home 300 years ago. However, the actions of the middle-aged man in a tuxedo.., he found it hard to believe. It was as if he had woken up from a beautiful fantasy. His heart became extremely cold.

He didn't ask why he shot the youth. What was a scavenger? But he knew that the one who had fallen was a life.

The most frightening thing was that the soldiers, warriors and mecha operators who were protecting the federation and the border defense… the three next to him turned a blind eye to it. They were used to it.

Who were they protecting?

The car roared like a beast as it ran on the empty road. It passed by the mountains and trees at a very fast speed. But under Dudian's dynamic vision, everything felt very slow, it was enough for him to distinguish every scenery on the road.

He saw bones wrapped in rags on the road. Some of the bones had bullet wounds. Some of the bones were intact. Some of the bones were rotten corpses. They had been dead for less than two weeks. There were birds with black feathers on the corpses, their mouths were as big and sharp as turtledoves as they gnawed at their flesh and blood.

The car ran over the edge of the corpses. Some of the rotten bones were crushed by the wheels of the car. Dudian saw other scavengers like the teenager. They were dressed in rags, some of the scavengers were as thin as firewood. There were two or three of them. Some were big and some were small. They seemed to be a family. Some of the scavengers saw cars and rushed to the road to stop them. However, they were shot by the middle-aged man in a tuxedo.

Some of them quickly moved aside when they saw the cars. It seemed that they knew that their weak bodies couldn't stop the steel monster that was making beast-like sounds.

As they drove for more and more time, Dudian saw more and more scavengers. Later on, he saw groups of scavengers wandering aimlessly along the road like zombies.

When he saw these groups of scavengers, the middle-aged man in Tuxedo asked the driver to open the window on the roof of the car. He put on a machine gun and put on a gas mask. He stood on the co-pilot and was ready to shoot.

There seemed to be a leader among the group of scavengers. He saw the posture of the middle-aged man in Tuxedo and quickly scolded the scavengers who were excited to see the car. However, his scolding seemed to be insufficient. Some scavengers listened to him, however, most of them had the courage to rush onto the road. They waved their hands and tried to stop the car.

Bang Bang Bang!

The machine gun was spitting fire. Seven or eight scavengers were shot into pieces. The power of the machine gun was extremely strong. Their bodies exploded after being shot.

The car slowed down and ran over the body.

The rest of the Scavengers hid on the other side of the road. They were trembling in fear. Pairs of black and white eyes looked at the middle-aged man in a tuxedo in fear.

Dudian looked out of the window at the scavengers. He suddenly guessed why Su Ming's sister had lung cancer at such a young age. No matter how beautiful the world was, there was always a shadow because of the light.

The car gradually drove to the end of the road. Dudian couldn't remember how many “Scavengers”he had killed until the shadow of the steel building appeared at the end of the road, the middle-aged man put away the machine gun on the roof of the car. He took off his helmet and sat in the front passenger seat. He used a new handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his neck and face.

“Everyone, when you go to HAWSK company, you have to refuel and try to pass.”The middle-aged man in the tuxedo said after his breathing was smooth, he turned to dudian and smiled politely: “Otherwise, I don't want to make another trip on the way back. There are too many damn things.”

“Of course, we will pass.”

“I also hope to pass.”

The three people around Dudian smiled.

The other person patted Dudian's shoulder: “Don't worry, we will pass.”

Dudian raised his head and looked at him. A smile slowly appeared on his face.

The man saw Dudian's smile and also smiled. He talked to the middle-aged man in the tuxedo. He wanted to ask about the content of the interview.

No one paid attention to Dudian and no one understood his smile.

The car entered the city. There were no scavengers outside the window. The scenery became more and more lively. There were more and more steel buildings in the surroundings. The car stopped at the junction of an extremely prosperous and imposing square.
