Chapter 164 Maybe He's Coming
Akiko felt confused. She felt that Delmor had completely changed, and she no longer knew exactly what he was planning.
However, Akiko was now on the same boat as Delmor, which was floating in the middle of the sea, and unable to return.
She felt a bit regretful about following Delmor, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.
At the same time, Rina walked up to a random car. The two people sitting in the car also felt a bit surprised, but they didn't dare say much.
Everyone knew that Rina had a wolf with the ability to use extremely terrifying electric superpowers.
The power of that wolf also made them feel fear and despair.
That's why, when they saw Rina getting into the car, they could only stay silent as they didn't dare to say much.
"Turn around and go back to the city."
"Heh?!" The young driver felt like he had heard wrong and asked again: "What do you mean?" We…"
"Are you deaf?" Rina's voice was filled with annoyance and anger: "I said...go back to the city, we don't have to follow Delmor."
"But…" The young man hesitated. The previous scene was still fresh in his mind, and it was extremely horrifying and scary.
He was afraid that if he did as Rina said, it would make Delmor angry, moreover he was afraid that he would end up like that young man.
"I… I don't dare. If Delmor knew, he would..." The young man trembled in fear.
In fact, he was also afraid of Rina. As long as she wanted, that wolf Alec would easily kill him right away.
"Don't worry about Delmor. I will protect you. You also saw how Delmor treated us, do you want to live under his control?"
Rina said angrily: "With Alec protecting us, we can also survive on our own. Besides… I know a safe place that I can take you to."
"Really?" The young man and girl sitting in the car felt a little hopeful when they heard that.
If Rina was telling the truth, there would be no need for them to follow Delmor. Now that everyone has gotten in the car, if he steps on the gas pedal, Delmor may not be able to catch up with him in time.
"Rina, are you telling the truth?"
"I don't need to lie to you. I'm tired of following someone like him." Rina frowned and said: "He always wants me to do what he wants. It seems like he sees me as a little girl who needs to be managed."
"Let's go, don't waste time. He won't think we'll leave. Besides, he also said that if we don't want to follow him, we can leave."
The young man heard what Rina said and felt that it was extremely reasonable. He took a deep breath, and in the end, he decided to listen to Rina's words.
Anyway, he didn't want to be ruled by such a brutal person. If one day Delmor felt unhappy and wanted to kill everyone, he would not be able to escape.
The young man took a deep breath and said: "Good! I believe in you, and I hope you can help me move towards a better future."
"Of course. You should remember, Alec only listens to my orders. With him, we don't need to fear zombies." Rina said confidently.
That young man gritted his teeth and said: "Good! I trust you."
Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove back to the city. Everyone else who saw this scene glanced towards Delmor's car.
Realizing that Delmor was not responding, they immediately jumped into the car, quickly started the car, then chased the first car that fled.
In just 30 seconds, everyone left, only 20 people remained. Those who remained were those who decided to endure Delmor's rule no matter how cruel he was.
They had lost hope in running away and liberating themselves.
In the car, Delmor saw what was happening behind him, however, he did not stop. On the contrary, he smiled, as he felt extremely satisfied.
"Why are you laughing? Don't you see they've already started to run away?
"So what?" Delmor smiled and said: "Those who run away are those who cannot obey my orders."
"Instead of trying to drive them away or kill them, now, running away is very much in line with my intentions. The remaining people are those who will never resist my orders."
"They will be good puppets for us to build a base for. Of course, if they agree to stay, I won't let them starve."
Hearing that, Akiko bowed her head and sighed. She did not know whether to believe what Delmor had just said or not.
"Delmor, I think we should find somewhere to take shelter, the temperature is dropping rapidly. If we continue to stay outside, I'm afraid everyone will freeze to death."
Delmor heard Akiko's words and nodded: "Don't worry. We will drive for about 10 kilometers, through the forest, and we will reach a safe area."
"Safe area?" Akiko asked confusedly.
"That's right. I have researched it. After passing through this area, we will enter the disaster shelter area."
"Disaster shelter area?" Akiko frowned and asked.
"That's right. It is a special area located near the city of Ukko. Because Ukko city is located between two large rivers, ⅓ of the city borders the sea, so it often encounters natural disasters.
"The Ukko city government built a bunker area located in a mountain cave. That place is extremely safe, moreover earthquakes, tsunamis or tornadoes will not affect that place."
"There are even a lot of supplies, food, and grain inside that place."
"As long as we get there, we will be safe, and we can even live there for a long time."
Akiko frowned and said: "But… if we know about that place, that means that other people also know about that place. Surely the shelter you just mentioned has been taken over by someone."
"I'm not sure yet but…" Delmor smiled and said: "That shelter is located next to a mountain, and that mountain is surrounded by a forest."
"Before the end of the world started, it was the anniversary of the founding of Ukko city, so most of the people gathered in the city center."
"If they want to get to the shelter, they have to go through the forest. In this weather, getting through the forest is almost impossible."
"Why?" Akiko asked: "We also have to go through the forest like them, why can we do it but they can't?"
"Because we only need to travel about 10 kilometers, and the road is not difficult." Delmor explained: "while they need to cross 30 kilometers in the forest. Also the road they are taking is uphill, the more they travel, the more difficult it becomes."
"Strange, why did the Ukko city government build a shelter in a place where it is difficult for people to get there?" Akiko frowned and said.
Delmor laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Akiko, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"
Akiko glanced at Delmor, as she felt that he was laughing at her: "I really don't understand."
"Hahahaha… first, I thought they built a shelter in that location to avoid earthquakes. Even if there is a tsunami, it is located in a place where sea water cannot reach."
"However, I was wrong. They built it in that place just so people using helicopters could get there. So… who can use a helicopter?"
Akiko frowned and said: "If helicopters can be used in the city, then it can only be the military or..."
She suddenly realized something, her mouth opened without knowing what to say.
"Yes…" Delmor smiled and said: "Only the rulers of the city can get there. They built that place for themselves, not for the poor people."
Akiko took a deep breath. For people like her who respect justice and righteousness, this is a truth she can hardly accept.
However, according to what Delmor just said, it was probably true. And Akiko also realized that the world was darker than she thought.
"But… if that were the case then that place would definitely have been taken over by someone else. If they are the rulers of the city, we certainly cannot compete with them for that place."
"Why can't we?" Delmor glanced at Akiko, then smiled confidently: "We can defeat them and take back the bunker."
Akiko took a deep breath, she didn't understand why Delmor was so confident.
"I should warn you first." "They may have guns and other weapons that are absolutely terrifying," Akiko said. If we're not careful, we'll definitely…"
"I know. Don't worry, I'll take care of it, there's no need for you and the others to risk your lives." Delmor said confidently, then leaned back on the car seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Akiko could only sigh, as she did not know what her future would be like.
Even though Delmor's eyes were closed, he was looking at the "encyclopedia". Inside the encyclopedia was a zombie corpse.
It was the corpse of the Tanker zombie that Hikaru killed, Delmor had picked up the corpse and stored it.
After evolving thanks to Hikaru's help, the encyclopedia had a new function, 'resource resolution'.
Naturally, Delmor immediately used the function. The Zombie Tanker's corpse could withstand both bullets and grenades.
If it was turned into a suit of armor, even if his opponent uses a gun, Delmor won't be worried.
What he was doing now was to wait for the encyclopedia to start automatically creating the armor for him.
According to his estimate, in just 2 days he will own an invulnerable armor.
…
The next morning, at the Noack mansion. Hikaru woke up in bed, of course, he was still inside his room.
Yesterday, after being served by Laylah, he returned to his room.
When he returned Velys was gone, he knew she had gone back to her own room.
Hikaru lay in bed, and thought about what was about to happen with some anticipation in his heart.
He didn't rush to get up, instead he opened the system store and checked to see what new items there would be in the store today.
Hikaru checked in the store, and found nothing special. There were a few Tier E items, but they didn't seem too useful to him.
He turned off the system information panel, then lay on the bed.
Currently, the outside temperature had dropped to only -10 degrees Celsius, but around the Noack villa it was not cold.
On the contrary, the place was very warm thanks to Velys's flames that were floating around.
Hikaru lay in bed for more than 30 minutes, then smiled and said: "Maybe he's coming."
