Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—the tan tank's body rapidly turned black as the venom covered it, and the roof had already started to slowly melt!
When the entire roof disappeared, four skeletal remains were exposed inside!
Ding! Detected Poison Yian Kut-Ku (Xiaohua) killed 4 Freedom Fighters, experience +40! Current experience (480/500)! The effect of this poison is terrifying!
Looking around, Watson released Feral 1 and Feral 2. Time was tight; we still had another place to go to~
—Vroom, vroom… Woosh!
Hmm? Car sounds? Watson heard the noise and scoffed. Trying to run?
Feral 1, Feral 2!
"Go give those who want to run a gentle warning!"
Meanwhile, the leader in the garage, with a few personal guards, was starting a military truck!
"Damn it!! Damn it!! Hurry up!!"
Hearing the gunfire outside had stopped, he knew that in the entire valley, they might be the only ones left alive.
Woosh!
"Ha! Great! Let's go!" he said, pressing the accelerator to the floor!
Immediately! Right now! Get out of this damned place!
The support troops were already on their way! As long as they linked up, they would survive!
Looking at the bright light not far ahead, it was like the hope of life!
Woosh!
"Faster, faster, faster! We're almost out!!"
Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Smack!!!
Just as this tan military truck rushed into the sunlight!
Before they could even cheer!
Two huge yellow tails slammed into the military truck, one from the left and one from the right!!!
Bang!!!
The front of the truck suddenly stopped! The rear flipped forward due to inertia!!
Boom!!
The entire vehicle overturned on the ground!
Ding! Detected Great Jagras killed 2 Freedom Fighters, experience +20! Current experience (500/500)!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have leveled up! You have gained 1 Summoning Point!
Hmm? Finally, a summoning point! I'll save it for now; these big guys are enough for the moment.
Thump… thump—Watson, clad in a Rathalos armor set, slowly walked to the overturned military truck. Faint cries for help came from inside.
If he were to let Little Earth and Xiaohua save them, they might die even faster—he suddenly remembered that among his group of big guys, there seemed to be a 'little one'?
System, release the Kulu-Ya-Ku!
Roar~ A 6-meter-long Kulu-Ya-Ku stood beside Watson.
"I'll call you Little Kulu from now on. Get them out."
Roar~ Little Kulu extended its long, devil-like claws.
Rip, rip! Crunch!
Accompanied by a series of harsh tearing metal sounds, the front of the military truck had been torn off by Little Kulu!
The few people who had just crawled out of the front of the truck slowly stood up and leaned against the truck.
The strong smell of blood and the scattered limbs constantly assaulted the limits of their psychological endurance!
At this moment, approaching footsteps caught their attention.
"%￥4#6￥@7#2￥%2%…"
"#2￥%2%—"
"￥4
Looking at the three people babbling—he couldn't understand a word!!
System, what are they saying?
Ding! Translating!
"Devil—you are the devil!! And those monsters!! Are your subordinates from hell!!"
"Don't kill me, please—don't kill me—"
"Allah—please forgive the world…"
Watson, finally understanding, shook his head and smiled at the three completely different statements.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A group of 'little guys' immediately surrounded the three of them. Feral 1 and Feral 2 even drooled—seeing the three who no longer dared to say another word, Watson nodded in satisfaction.
"Who understands English?!"
"Me! I do!" It was the leader.
"Tony Stark, where is he?"
"Tony Stark is not my responsibility! He's at Outpost 1! We are Outpost 4 here!"
"Where is Outpost 1??"
"It's to the east! You let us go! Only I know the way! I'll take you there!"
Let them go? Watson knew exactly what kind of people these Freedom Fighters were!
Bombings! Hostage-taking! Human bombs! Massacring civilians!
The blood on their hands was far more than his own! To put it bluntly, they were a group of terrorists! Who took on a nice-sounding name!
To the east, huh—at worst, he could ride Xiaohua and find it using the map!
Just as Watson was hesitating…
Ding! Detected a large number of armed personnel 5 kilometers away!
Hmm? In that case, I won't be polite~
"Thanks, I'll find it myself. Feral 1, Feral 2, they're yours!"
"No, no… Don't come near me!! Ah!!"
Ding! Detected Great Jagras killed 2 Freedom Fighters, experience +20! Current experience (20/600)!
Ding! Detected Great Jagras killed Freedom Fighter Leader, experience +50! Current experience (70/600)!
Ding! Mission progress updated: Outposts destroyed (1/4)!
Ignoring the screams from behind, he walked straight towards Xiaohua, preparing to intercept the convoy.
Just as Watson jumped onto Xiaohua's back, he seemed to hear a faint sound.
It wasn't coming from behind.
Opening the map, he discovered that there was another dot in the ruins to his front right!
This dot!! It was green!! The name was… Kagome?
Kagome? Who was that?
He quickly jumped down and walked towards the marked spot. Since it was green, it shouldn't be an enemy.
When he reached the ruins, he found a person at the edge, wearing the clothes of a Freedom Fighter!
However, this person was already beyond saving; a thick wooden stake was impaled through his abdomen.
"Please… please… this… she—" The man looked up and extended his only remaining arm.
In his hand was a photo of an innocent and lovely little girl.
He made only two simple movements, as if they had consumed all his life's strength.
"…Ka…Pa…Ka, her brother…" It was as if he had many more words left unsaid, but only a wheezing sound like a broken bellows remained in his hoarse throat. He just stared blankly at Watson with wide eyes.
Watson took the photo from his hand and held it in his palm: "I will tell her that her brother was a true Freedom Fighter, a good man."
He seemed to have heard the answer he wanted, slowly closed his eyes, and fell silent.
Watson opened his palm, looking at the innocent and joyful girl smiling in the photo.
Perhaps, in this war-torn place, there truly were Freedom Fighters in the real sense, fighting for their ideal of freedom with their lives—only, they all became pawns for others.
Shaking his head, he stopped his wild thoughts. These political games had nothing to do with him.
Now, it was time to greet our experience babies!
System! Recall the four little ground monsters.
Xiaohua!
Roar, roar, roar!
Now, it's time to show them how to spell 'surprise'!
