Chapter 3107: Suspicious survivors (1)
Translator: 549690339
It didn’t take long for the bearded man to arrive at the ruins.
Because of the wanton destruction of the Reapers, the buildings in front of them had been destroyed, and the bones of the dead could be seen between the broken walls.
This kind of tragic scene was common to the survivors, and they had long become numb to it.
The big-bearded man was on high alert because he had yet to determine the other party’s true background.
What if it wasn’t a survivor but a hidden enemy? wouldn’t he be walking right into a trap?
Even if they were survivors, it didn’t mean that they were safe. Big beardy had seen more than one person who would do anything to survive.
Fortunately, when they encountered such a guy, the other party would basically die, because they could not beat the bearded man.
Just as the big-bearded man approached the ruins, the other party seemed to sense it and immediately stood still.
There was no need to look for cover. The gray fog was the best cover. Choosing to stay still was the best way.
When the enemy passed through the gray fog and saw you, the time for your attack would also arrive.
The bearded man was certain that the other party was holding his weapon tightly and holding his breath, waiting for him to approach.
If they were mortal enemies, once they encountered each other, they would immediately fight to the death.
In fact, for the survivors, the smartest thing to do was to leave as soon as possible, not stay and try to get away with it.
If they encountered each other, no one could accurately predict what would happen next.
There’s no knowing what’s in a person’s heart. You’re prepared to treat the other party as a comrade, but the other party treats you as a delicious meal.
“Don’t be afraid, we’re the resistance, and we specialize in fighting Reapers!
For survivors in trouble, we will provide help and provide them with sufficient safety and food.”
Every time they met a survivor, the cultivators would first reveal their identity to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Of course, most of the time, this didn’t have much use. The survivors would still be vigilant.
The gray fog provided safety, but it also made the survivors more suspicious, and they would not easily believe the words of strangers.
As for going to the secret base, the survivors were even more resistant, afraid that they would be sent to the slaughterhouse.
Therefore, most of the time, cultivators could only use violent means to force survivors to follow them.
To cultivators, this was an easy task.
As for the survivors who had lost their freedom and how much fear they had to endure along the way, no cultivator cared at all.
The cultivators were arrogant and disdainful to pay attention to the ignorant mortals. They never bothered to explain when they did things.
It wouldn’t take long for these survivors to understand what was going on and be grateful to him.
It was the principle of cultivators to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times.
The big-bearded man explained his identity, but no one paid him any attention. The survivors remained silent.
“There’s no need to continue hiding. I’ve already seen the five of you. Do you really want me to point you out one by one?”
The big-bearded man’s voice rang out, and heavy panting came from the gray fog. At the same time, the sound of stones rolling could be heard.
The survivor who had been exposed by the big-bearded man was obviously in a state of panic, which was why he had accidentally made a sound.
The other party seemed to know that he could no longer win against the big-bearded man, so he began to slowly move.
Although the sound was extremely soft, to the big-bearded man, it was as clear as a horse stomping on the ground.
“I’ll give you one more chance. Gather up immediately and I’ll take you out of here.
If you still don’t listen to me, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
The bearded man issued an ultimatum. He had other things to do and did not want to waste time on these survivors.
The other party still didn’t respond. It was obvious that he was hoping for a fluke.
“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”
The big-bearded man snorted coldly. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward. A rope shot out.
The survivor closest to the big-bearded man let out a scream as he was tied up tightly by the rope.
Realizing that their companion had been in an accident, the other survivors fell into a panic and rushed forward to help their companion get rid of the rope.
However, the rope was like a living creature, once again wrapping around the other survivors and firmly tying them together.
The rope was extremely flexible, even a knife could not cut it, and it could be extended indefinitely.
With a series of screams, the five survivors hiding in the gray fog were all tied up with ropes.
At this time, the survivors could no longer remain silent, and they screamed in fear.
At that moment, the other end of the rope fell into the bearded man’s hand and began to shorten.
The five survivors were pulled by the rope, like fish on the hook, and they struggled to be pulled in front of the big-bearded man.
When they saw the big-bearded man, although they still looked frightened, their voices were a little weaker.
If they fell into the hands of the human race, they would at least have a chance of survival. If they fell into the hands of the Reapers, the five of them would die without a doubt.
“Shut up!”
The big-bearded man shouted coldly, his voice containing a trace of magic power.
He was not a gentle person, and now that there were gatherers nearby, how could he let the survivors shout?
Because of the shock of the magical power, the five survivors closed their mouths and revealed a dazed look.
For at least an hour, they would all be like this, as if they had lost their souls.
As the big-bearded man turned around, the rope dragged the five survivors forward.
It didn’t take long for him to return to his companions.
While the big-bearded man was away, his companion had already thought of a solution to the problem, which was to use the means of cultivators to fix the threads.
After securing the thread, it was equivalent to destroying the trap, and he could take the opportunity to kill the harvester.
It was easier said than done. Fortunately, the strength of the cultivators was not weak.
the speed at which his cultivation increased was too fast and far exceeded the Reapers ‘expectations. This would cause his original weapon to lose its advantage.
Whether this method would work or not was still uncertain, which was why the cultivators had not made their move yet.
They were waiting for the big-bearded man to act together.
As the big-bearded man was the most powerful, he was responsible for fixing the thin line that fell from the sky.
This was not an easy task, whether it was the strength or the weight. Perhaps a slight deviation would likely cause the suspended bomb to fall.
It was also unclear if there was a signal connection between the threads and the bait.
If there was a signal connection between them, they would still be attacked if they cut the thread.
Therefore, they could only try now. They were not sure what the result would be. Fortunately, even if the cracking failed, big beard and the others would not lose anything.
If they were prepared, they could evacuate in time to ensure that they would not be affected by the explosion.
After the discussion, the operation immediately began.
The bearded man personally controlled a large mass of soil and quietly approached the gatherer.
Due to the cover of the gray fog, the gatherer did not realize that there was a large amount of soil gathering above him.
“Pardon, gather!”
With big beardy’s control, the flying soil gathered together and directly stuck the wire connecting the gatherer and the suspended bomb.
At the same time, a cold light flashed and cut off the connection between the
silk thread and the gatherer.
The soil was suspended in the air like a plate. The gatherer below had already reacted and confirmed that he was under attack.
Before the gatherers could react, the bearded man’s companions attacked at the same time and blew the gatherers into pieces.
“You guys retreat first and wait for me ten miles away!”
The bearded man looked at his companion and reminded him loudly.
Now that the situation was urgent, his companions no longer spoke any nonsense and turned to leave.
The bearded man was about to shout for them to take the survivors away, but he swallowed his words.
He suddenly remembered that the mysterious fluctuation of unknown origin had warned him of danger.
The so-called danger was most likely referring to these female cultivators.
If that was the case, he couldn’t let them follow their companions, but he had to keep the risk by his side..
