Chapter 978 The Salvation Army

I have to admit that the appearance of these mutants is indeed very strange.

Duanmuhuai has seen green mutants, but he has never seen black ones. It was night before, and he couldn't see clearly even when he took a quick peek under the flames. Now that it's daytime, taking a photo under the sun - well, Duanmuhuai has to admit, these guys really look a bit like demons.

They are strong and strong, each with almost eight-pack abs. That's all. It's mainly about their heads. Yes, as an inquisitor, Duanmuhuai has already scanned the skulls of these mutants for the first time. It was found that their skulls had mutated. Not only had their teeth become sharp like sharks, but their skulls were also twisted and deformed, expanding and elongating like buffaloes, which looked terrifying.

Well, at least not within the Inquisition's standards of modesty for a human skull.

Then there is only one result!

 “Die, alien bastard!”

Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand hard and smashed the head of the mutant in front of him. Then he rushed out of the ruins and rushed towards the other mutant. When the latter saw his companion being killed, he was not frightened by Duanmuhuai. Instead, he roared like a beast, picked up a lamp post on the spot and rushed towards Duanmuhuai!

Um……

Looking at the mutants rushing towards him, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly. He had already turned on the fear aura when he appeared just now. Logically speaking, it is impossible for this mutant not to be frightened by him. So what is going on?

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai called up the system and glanced at it.

  【Player turns on fear aura】

  【Target is attacked by fear aura】

  【Target immunity】

 Psychiatric immunity? Do mutants still have this ability? Having said that, it seems that I have never seen a mentally fragile mutant...

　　　In a blink of an eye, just as Duanmuhuai was watching the system record, the mutant opposite had already smashed down the lamppost directly at Duanmuhuai. The heavy lamp bead was made of enough materials, and it hit Duanmu Huai's power armor with a "dong" sound - and then broke directly.

Just kidding, Duanmuhuai's defense against nuclear bombs is no problem. Unless this pillar is personally blessed by Edison, the God of Electric Lights, trying to break Duanmuhuai's defense is just wishful thinking!

“I can’t even look at the system records without feeling restless!”

At this moment, Duanmuhuai was filled with anger and anger. He grabbed the lamppost that hit him with his backhand and pulled hard - he pulled it directly from the opponent's hand. Then, before the mutant could react, Duanmu Huai struck him with a backhand stick, smashing the mutant into pieces on the wall next to him.

At the same time, in the ruins not far away, a black figure was hiding behind the window, staring at this scene in horror. When the black shadow saw that Duanmu Huai actually grabbed the mutant's lamppost and then crushed it into meat paste, he even took a breath of air!

 What kind of monster is this?

How could such a monster exist? !

Seeing this, the black figure didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly turned around and tried to leave - but at this moment, a silver light flashed, accompanied by screams, and the next moment the black figure seemed to be struck by something. As if grabbed, he was pulled directly out of the window, and then fell heavily to the ground.

　　“Wow————!”

The sudden impact and pain made the black shadow scream in agony. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on the cold cement floor, with burning pain all over his body. At the same time, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.

“That’s the guy, isn’t he? Well done, Ogis.”

Staring at the man who collapsed on the ground in front of him, Duanmu Huai sneered. He realized something was wrong before he came down, so he asked Ogis and himself to act separately - Duanmuhuai was responsible for attracting the attention of the mutants, and Ogis was responsible for finding the behind-the-scenes commander hiding behind them.

Now it seems that Ogis has really found her.

Duanmu Huai stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab the other person's head, and lifted him up. Judging from his appearance, the other person seemed to be just an ordinary wasteland wanderer, wearing a shabby, patched coat and a full beard. Damn, they look similar to Aiden Joel and the others.

“Okay, tell me everything you know.”

Duanmu Huai exerted a little force on his hand, and his fingers dug directly into the other person's skin - as for whether the skull was broken, he didn't care.

 “Who are you? What’s going on with these mutants? What do you want to do?”

 “Spar, spare my life...”

Most people in the wasteland era have no loyalty at all, and this guy is no exception. Especially when he felt Duanmu Huai's fingers almost crushing his skull, he was so frightened that he tried to do anything.

 “I, I’m from the Salvation Army...”

 “The Salvation Army? What the hell?”

Hearing this name, Duanmu Huai curled his lips, and the latter also hurriedly explained their origins.

 Simply put, the Salvation Army is a survivor force in this world, but they are more powerful than ordinary survivor gathering places. This... general of the Salvation Army owns an underground shelter facility, and it is through this facility that he recruits many people and grows. The most powerful thing about the Salvation Army is that they have a powerful army of mutants - these mutants are very powerful, never afraid, have strong regeneration capabilities, and have a certain degree of intelligence. In addition to eating a little Apart from that, he is almost a perfect warrior.

It is precisely because of these mutants that the Salvation Army has survived blood moons again and again, and has gradually grown. Now they have begun to spread to the surrounding areas. This man is a small leader in the Salvation Army. He leads the mutants here to open up new territories.

“Then what was the reason why you attacked that human gathering place?”

 “This is not my responsibility!”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, the man suddenly shuddered and hurriedly defended himself.

"I just saw a gathering place here, so I wanted to say hello to them, but I didn't expect that the sentries would shoot the mutants when they saw them, which angered these mutants... I couldn't control the angry mutants. ,This is not my fault!"

"hehe."

Duanmu Huai just laughed at the man's answer. He only believed this nonsense. Mary and Gao Chengshaye clearly told him that the gathering place was raided. If he followed what the man said, the gathering place would definitely be attacked. To sound the alarm, you won't be attacked without warning. Besides...what the Master of the Wasteland said...

Just listen to the story, don’t believe it all.

Even for the group of survivors he saved, Duanmu Huai didn't know how much he believed what they said. There's nothing we can do about it, who calls this such a cruel world?

But this kid is not full of lies. According to what he said, he brought a team of mutants, a dozen mutants. Duanmu Huai killed most of them last night, and the only two left left him scared. He originally thought about leaving just like that, but he didn't expect to see Duanmu Huai flying in the air. This kid is also obsessed with ghosts. After all, he After losing so many mutants, they will definitely be punished if they go back. If they can capture Duanmu Huai or his power armor, he might even get a reward.

So he foolishly ordered the mutants to take action.

Well, that’s the result.

There were no other enemies around, so Duanmuhuai took the man and flew back to the warehouse, and then dumped him in front of the commander of the gathering area.

 “Look at this kid, do you recognize him?”

"It's him!"

　　When the commander who was recovering from his injuries saw this man, his eyes suddenly turned red.

   “Do you know each other?”     “Of course!”

The commander glared at the man fiercely. The latter may have known that he was in the wrong, but he just lowered his head and did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Just some time ago, this guy came to our gathering place in a big way, saying that he was a member of the 'Salvation Army', and wanted our gathering place to surrender to the Salvation Army. Of course we would not agree, and we kicked this guy out directly. …Does this have anything to do with him?”

"More or less, this guy is in command of the mutants. He told me before that he was beaten because you attacked the mutants first and made them angry... Haha."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced at the man sideways. Now it seems that he was probably angry after being rejected by this gathering place, so he ordered the mutants to destroy the gathering place - well, this is actually not difficult to understand. After all, he has such a team of mutants and micro-nuclear bombs, so a small gathering like this is definitely no match.

If you are asked by the superiors at that time, just say that the people here are fierce and fight over disagreements, and you are just forced to fight back in self-defense... Are there such people everywhere?

 At that time, there will be no evidence and no one can say anything.

 “You bastard!”

 The others were not fools either. Now they understood the whole story, and they were even more furious. But what they didn't expect was that when faced with the indignant residents of the gathering area who wanted to hang him directly, the man looked indifferent.

"It's not my fault! I told you a long time ago that the Salvation Army is not easy to mess with! I advise you to let me go, otherwise when the Salvation Army comes to find you, you will only die! If you are willing to let me go, then I I can also say a few nice words for you in front of the general..."

"you---!"

Hearing the man's taunt, the commander angrily drew his gun and aimed it at the man. He wanted to kill the **** who destroyed his gathering place and killed his men with one shot. But his reason prevented him from doing so. Now this gathering place has been weakened beyond recognition. If the Salvation Army really comes to kill them, just based on their current situation...

But soon, Duanmuhuai made a decision for them.

“Okay, no matter how big the deal is, you’d better go with peace of mind.”

As he said that, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and slapped the man's head hard, smashing his head to pieces. The latter's eyes widened, and before he could say anything else, he collapsed limply to the ground and made no movement.

 “Wait, Mr. Duanmu, you just killed him like this?”

 Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, while Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course, this guy hurt my girl, and the people in the Tribunal can do it at will? Oh, by the way, this is just foreplay. Didn't he say that he came from the Salvation Army? We are going to come to the door next. , let’s settle this account with them!”

"No, there is no need to do this, Mr. Duanmu."

　At this moment, Mary was also startled and waved her hands hurriedly.

“It’s not a serious problem for me, and the opponent is also a surviving force of mankind. Logically speaking, the Tribunal should not maintain the principle of neutrality...”

 “That also has preconditions.”

Duanmuhuai glanced at Mary.

“By the way, I scanned the bodies of those mutants before. What do you think the results were?”

"Why?"

“According to the results of the auspicious omen, these mutants have traces of genetic modification, virus intensification, and large-dose radiation exposure—and I heard this kid say that the Salvation Army is still recruiting people everywhere..."

　　　…………”

 Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately.

“Mr. Duanmu, you mean...these mutants were actually transformed by the Salvation Army?”

"The possibility is very high, so I went to take a look. You should understand the principles of the Inquisition."

Mary stopped talking now. The targets of the Inquisition are aliens, heretics and demons. If the Salvation Army is really a terrifying force that modulates humans into mutants, then Duanmu Huai will definitely destroy it without a second thought.

 “Are you telling the truth?”

At this moment, Joel, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke.

 “What’s wrong? What’s the problem?”

"actually…………"

 Joel glanced at the man's body on the ground and was silent for a moment.

"Actually...the place I want to send Ellie to is the headquarters of the Salvation Army..."

"………you sure?"

"Yes."

 Joel nodded.

“You want to send Ellie to the headquarters of the Salvation Army? Why? What does she have to do with the Salvation Army?”

Duanmuhuai looked at Ellie who was standing next to Joel curiously. The latter felt a little nervous under Duanmuhuai's gaze, but she still held Joel's hand and stood there motionless.

"I don't know either. In fact, I originally received the commission from my friend. She asked me to send this girl to the Salvation Army. As for the reason... she didn't say anything."

 “That’s it…”

Duanmuhuai touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

Now it seems that my goal in this world may be with this Salvation Army!
