Fade took the lunch box and opened it.
Tedger immediately scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, please don't mind me. I'd like to try it."
Fade smiled and understood what he meant. He wanted to prove that there was no problem with lunch.
After delivering lunch, ledger didn't leave. Instead, he approached Fade and asked with a flattering face, "Mr. Chen, where are you from? What did you do before? You are so powerful. Did you graduate from a martial arts school or from a sect?"
Fade chatted with Tedger from time to time and gained a lot from him.
Tiguan and Tedger were brothers. They were born in the countryside and worked in the city. Three years ago, Earth's spiritual energy had changed. They were lucky enough to learn a martial arts technique and master it after much practice.
Later, they even passed the Martial Arts Alliance's second level test and were officially approved as martial artists, which could be said to be very glorious.
However, they didn't expect that they would encounter such an unfortunate event on their first mission.
At that time, the leader of the group was the son of a martial arts academy leader. His strength wasn't great, but he insisted on violating the rules and entering the forest. In the end, he met a rank three vicious beast which crippled his arm.
When they returned, the Alliance investigated this matter and wanted to punish them. They tried their best to defend themselves, but it still didn't help. In the end, their certificates were revoked and they were driven out of the Martial Arts Alliance.
At the same time, because the other party's father was the leader of a martial arts academy, he included them in the blacklist, resulting in them being unable to find any work in the local area. In the end, they could only go underground and become smuggling guards.
However, these two brothers weren't really evil people, nor did they have the courage and strength to engage in the smuggling of highgrade martial arts techniques, weapons, and flesh and blood of vicious beasts. They could only follow Sabirin and smuggle some daily necessities and food.
For instance, delivering seafood to Cloud City and exchanging it for some local herbal medicine which was then sold for a higher price when they returned.
Because of vicious beasts, the roads were destroyed and blocked. The food and products that civilians could buy in the supermarket three years ago became precious now.
After lunch, they drove until it was late afternoon.
The road had been ruined by the lush plants. The cars shook and the plants along the road flourished. Fade felt like he was in a forest.
However, this journey was extremely peaceful as they didn't encounter any vicious beasts.
In the evening, the car stopped and they camped for the night.
Sabirin arranged for people to be on duty at night. ledger volunteered to be with Fade. "Mr. Chen, the wild is most dangerous at night. Many vicious beasts often appear at night, so we have to be more cautious when guarding at night."
That night, as expected, a pack of wild dogs came attacking.
However, the dogs weren't strong enough. Before Fade could make a move, ledger had already beaten them.
As ledger wiped away the blood on his hand, he introduced to Fade, "Most of these wild dogs were transformed from stray dogs to ferocious beasts after lurking in the wilderness. However, these dogs aren't strong. Occasionally, a few of them can evolve into Rank 1 vicious beasts, but most of them can't even be called vicious beasts." In the second half of the night, there were several more attacks from animals such as wild dogs and weasels, but they weren't strong either. They were easily repelled.
Early the next morning, the fleet set off again.
Around half past ten in the morning, a silhouette of a city appeared on the left of the fleet.
Sabirin suddenly became nervous and reminded everyone, "Lake City is up ahead. There is a large-scale gang of bandits around us. If we encounter them, don't act rashly. If it's not necessary, don't take action."
Although he had hoped for the opposite, the fleet was still surrounded by a group of people when they passed through the border of the city.
In the car, Fade looked around and found that there were thirty or forty people, but the composition of the people was quite complicated, including young men, sloppy old men, and children who were barely more than ten years old.
After releasing his energy, Fade realized that, apart from a small number of martial artists, most of them were regular civilians. Although they looked fierce, they had no fighting capacity.
"These people are bandits?" Fade asked, pointing to the old, sick and disabled.
ledger explained, "Mr. Chen, these people aren't actually real bandits. Most of them are civilians who can't survive in Lake City and can only find another way out."
"In the past three years, Earth has undergone great changes. Many supplies have been cut off. Since materials and goods couldn't be transported, many factories toppled. As a result, many people lost their jobs Due to the factory's collapse, the prices of daily necessities have risen sharply, and people can't afford it. They can only leave the city and gather together at the border of the city to seek a way out."
"The boss of these people is quite reasonable. He doesn't ask for too much, and he can also provide some material trading services, which can be used as a service station on the smuggling route."
After listening to ledger's explanation, Fade nodded his head slightly. As he looked at the group of people, his thoughts began to surge.
Previously, he'd been considering
the impact of the changes in
spiritual energy on martial artists. He hadnthought that it would have too much of an effect on regular civilians, but now, it seemed that it had a huge, or even bigger effect on them.
Not long after, Sabirin seemed to have discussed the price with the other party. After paying, the fleet smoothly passed through this part of the journey and continued to move forward.
Another day passed. There wasn't much danger at night. Basically, it was just some wild dogs and wild cats which Fade easily handled.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
At dawn, the fleet set off again.
However, they didn't go far this time before they suddenly stopped.
Sabirin got out of the car and said something.
Fade took a look and found two martial artists in leather uniforms standing in front of Sabirin. He was talking to them with a pleading face. From time to time, he cupped his hands and begged for mercy.
At this moment, Sabirin's face was full of sorrow and bitterness.
Such a situation made Fade curious. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Who are those two men?"
ledger looked out and sighed, saying helplessly, "They're martial artists from the hunting squad."
"They are all registered martial artists. They are specially organized by nearby cities to hunt vicious beasts in the wild and collect raw materials. In general, the martial artists of this hunting team aren't weak."
"Sabirin's luck is too bad. If we run into them, we'll lose a lot of money this time. This trip might even be for nothing, but there's nothing we can do. We can't report them with the business we're doing." ledger sighed and shook his head.
