Lord of War

Chapter 165 Thief

In the desolate wilderness, a figure moved rapidly. It is so fast that it raises a puff of dust on the earth.

The figure in the Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped. It was a black girl with a twelve- or three-year-old girl on her back. The young girl has long silver hair, and a chubby mutacious beast is tightly pulled on her shoulder.

"What's the matter, Atessa?" Moni asked.

Atesha looked in the direction of Windmill Town, and she seemed to have sensed something just now. But the feeling is very vague and unclear. However, that feeling made Athessa feel a little scared.

"Nothing. Let's take a break before we go." Atesha hides that feeling, and there is no need to worry another person by saying something that she can't even figure out herself.

After simply eating something, Moni gestured with her fingers on the sand. She drew a curved line and drew a circle at the end of the line. Moni lit it and said, "Go straight along the road and we will go to a base called the Capital of Shadows. This is the largest settlement within a radius of 1,000 kilometers. Let's go there and wait for zero.

Atessa looked at her unexpectedly and said, "How do you know this?"

Moni smiled shyly and said, "There is a map in the hotel lobby that I have paid attention to before. However, at that time, I didn't expect to go to the shadow capital with the current situation. At that time, I just thought that there were a large population there, and it should be easier to inquire about my mother..."

Mother?

This is a strange word for Athessa. Athesha's parents were the best warriors in the village, but when she gave birth to Athesa, her mother died of childbirth. At the final choice between adults and children, Athessa's mother resolutely gave up her life and left the opportunity to her daughter.

Children are the future!

This is Atessa's father who relayed to her what Atessa's mother's words before her death when she was ten years old. In fact, Athesha's name is inherited from her mother, which is the only thing her mother left her.

Also when Artessa was ten years old, she lost her father. During a hunt, her father met a very powerful mutant beast. In order to cover the departure of other villagers, Athesha's father stayed and left her forever.

For her, her mother's impression is vague, at least not as clear as her father. Atessa has imagined her mother's appearance more than once, but she has nothing. Therefore, at least Moni, who still remembers her mother's appearance, looks happy to Athesha. As long as Mony's mother is not dead, they will at least have a chance to meet again.

Unlike Athessa, she doesn't even know what her mother looks like.

"As long as you don't give up, you will definitely see each other again!" Artessa patted Moni's head and said.

Moni nodded heavily and said, "Atessa, how do you think Zero is now?"

"It should be all right. Even the big crack can't kill him. How can such a duel die?" But when Artessa said this, she suddenly realized that the source of the previous fear came from zero.

When she found this detail, the uneasiness in her heart became more intense.

At about 3 p.m., Parkland's team finally left. Before leaving, Parkland's soldiers cremated the exhumed bodies, so there was another flame on the ruins of the factory. It's just that this flame is not so fierce, but the flame released by high-efficiency fuel quickly burns and decomposes human physical tissue. So the smell of meat was blown in all directions, but the people who smelled the fragrance looked quite bad, and some people even vomited directly.

The burning process lasted for two hours, and when the evening came, the flames gradually went out.

The ruins of the factory have been raised as a cordon by the security team, and the clean-up work will last for several days, but before that, the resettlement of nearby citizens involved in the explosion has become the primary task of the security team.

There is no so-called mayor in Windmill Town. In addition to the public security team to maintain order, only four or five elderly residents form a committee to decide the size of the town. In an emergency meeting in the evening, homeless residents were decided to stay in the committee's office building until their houses were rebuilt.

The town is not rich, and most of the residents of the town will work in batches at a nearby mine in exchange for a small income. A small number of people make a living by growing crops such as potatoes, but today the land is not only barren, but also radioactive. Although the crops grown do not mutate, the sales volume is not good due to low production and radiation. Therefore, farmers live a better life than miners, and they live a life without three meals.

The only one who makes money in the town is the owner of the waterwheel bar. Although the low-quality beer brewed in the bar is terrible, men are still willing to drink a cold bad wine from the bar with a few cents after a hard day's work. Based on the principle of small profits and quick turnover, Mr. Holt, the boss, has made some money over the years. For this reason, when the committee asked him for financial assistance to help the poor residents repair their houses, Mr. Holt generously agreed.

A successful businessman must understand the truth that wool comes from sheep. The money donated today will be more withdrawn from them tomorrow.

When I got home from the committee's office building, it was already 8 p.m. Today is indeed a thrilling day. Mr. Holt has forgotten how long it has been so exciting. At this moment, he was a little tired and planned to take a shower and go to bed, but he heard his wife's curse from the rooftop.

"What's going on, honey?" Holt asked.

My wife came down from the rooftop and scolded as she walked, "It's all because of the explosion at noon that blew away all your clothes hanging on the rooftop."

"Forget it, it's a blessing that we are still alive. If we lose our clothes, we will lose them." Mr. Holt didn't mind, comforting his wife a few words and then walked to the bathroom.

Holt's wife said to herself, "But it's really strange. The sheet fixed with a clip was not blown away, but only a few clothes were blown away. What's the reason?"

Obviously, she couldn't figure out the key, and a lot of housework was still waiting for her to do, so she didn't have the extra energy to think about this brainstorm.

In the wilderness under the night, a figure may appear on the highway. The figure moves extremely fast, leaving a series of shadows in the sports room. It has been going north along the road.

When stopping occasionally, the person who appears is obviously wearing clothes that don't fit. Both the striped shirt and the gray-blue jeans look too wide, just like wearing other people's clothes.

If Mr. Holt's wife sees it, she will understand that her husband's clothes were not blown away by the wind, but stolen. At this moment, the thief on the highway seems to have decided in a certain direction. He came down from the highway and passed through a dry sand. After several elevated electric towers that had stopped working, the outline of a city faintly appeared in the night.
