945 Rush 1 (1/2)

When he left the special ability space, Garen was in a great mood.

In the world of Energy Machinists, he did indeed get different inspirations from all sorts of knowledge. In this high tech era, this Universal Age, this sort of information was the largest motivator. Every second of every day, there would be clashes between intelligence and flashes of thought.

In the stone basement, it was all quiet. He could hear almost nothing from outside, evidently the Predators had yet to begin their large-scale attack.

Garen glanced at the Biochemical Pool, he had used up more than half of the biochemical liquid inside, even the color was looking slightly pale. Still, it looked like it had some uses left in it.

”It's too bad, if the biochemical liquid was better, I could reduce the production time of the Big Wild Wolves. One an hour would be easy.”

Garen sighed for a while, and began the production the seventh Big Wild Wolf anew before he walked out of the basement. There was a small hall on the first floor, and East Perrin was sitting, or rather leaning on a damaged metal chair. Her long hair cascaded down, and she slept deeply in the chair, leaning crookedly. She really did look utterly exhausted.

There were several pots of properly processed materials next to her, these seemed to have just arrived. He had no idea when she had left the town, as more Predators gathered outside, it grew more and more dangerous to go out. He had no idea what pains and tribulations she had to go through to obtain this pot of materials.

Garen was slightly moved.

He looked at East Perrin's sexy slanted figure, her pretty features, the grey clothes she wore pressing her breasts into a seductive cleavage. Her long legs were closed tightly, practically revealing that shape between her legs. This woman was not wearing underwear…

”If she was in the regions, such a beauty would surely have a sponsor, and end up a canary in a golden cage, huh? But in the radiation belt, she had fought her way to the position of leader of a town. When two people have the same natural talent, a large difference lies in the surroundings, huh?”

Seeing that East Perrin was sleeping soundly, Garen decided not to disturb her. Perhaps after the next sunrise, there would be a drawn-out, large-scale defense battle. Those who were lucky might survive, but those who were so fortunate would be glad to get off with death, rumor had it that some Predators liked to slowly chew away at someone's limbs while they were still alive. They would emit a toxin with numbing effects, paralyzing a person's senses, so that the victim could watch his legs being eaten off with his own eyes before dying, or even seeing his whole lower half getting slowly chewed and divided up.

Even Garen felt that such a horrific scene would be too cruel.

Walking out of the stone house, he saw that the sky, about to break into dawn, was completely pitch-black. Even the moon and stars had been hidden behind the clouds, the weather growing more and more oppressive, as though there was a storm coming.

Garen could clearly feel the oppressive air of nervousness outside.

The six Big Wild Wolves were either standing or sprawled on the wall, some of them walking, others resting with their eyes closed.

From a distance, he could see the wandering green wolf eyes on the wall.

Their presence had given the town's remaining residents a strong sense of security, as though they were an automatic defense line. Without anyone watching them, they could still constantly protect everyone.

Garen's appearance seemed to have surprised the people outside, and he could see signs of cooking fires all around. Evidently, the current townspeople were using this underground basement as the center of the city.

The other ten, including East Perrin, all surrounded Garen's basement.

”It's starting…” Garen saw Malone come over and heard him speak softly.

”Yeah, they should attack at dawn.” Garen nodded.

The other eight had all gathered here, two of them children and the other six adults. The impulsive young man who had argued against Garen yesterday was here too, as well as that middle-aged woman who scolded him. The many dirty faces surrounded Garen. They each held the gun and ammunition with the strongest resultant force in their hands, it was a submachine gun that was similar to a service pistol.

”I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this place…” Garen shook his head. ”The place is too big. There are too many areas to defend, if they come with a large-scale attack, the Predators won't just attack from one side like before, they will surely attack from all sides, and climb the walls at the same time.

”We can choose the most solid building to protect as our base,” someone suggested.

”But that way we'll eventually be trapped there until we die!” retorted the middle-aged woman.

”That's right,” Garen nodded in agreement. ”Indeed, we'll just end up being surrounded until we die. We'll need to find a secure place that would be most easily defended, and use that as our new base, we can't stay here anymore… Or else we'll all die!”

Everyone fell silent at his words. Actually, none of them were stupid, those who could make it this far were all elites who were stronger in physical and mental capacity. Everyone had thought of that, but their attachment to Leo City made them reluctant to leave it. Now that Garen had voiced it out, however, no one would object.

Because everyone knew that he spoke the truth.
