The Pursuers Attack!

บรรณาธิการ: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When he woke up the next morning, Elrond felt refreshed and recharged

"Mr. Elrond, you're awake?"

Victor smiled as he spoke from the outside.

Before the door opened, the smell of meat filled the room.

For nomads, serving meat was the highest standard for receiving distinguished guests.

Elrond was grateful for this. But he also felt bad over his excessive ways of dealing with their son previously.

He had a full meal.

Victor's wife brought a cloth bag over and said, "Mr. Elrond, please don't take offense at our poor hospitality. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

He could tell from the shape and feel that it was flatbread inside. Although flatbreads were hard to swallow when it was dry, it was the best dry ration to bring along when traveling.

Elrond's heart warmed, and he said, "Thank you—"

Just at this moment, he took a glance at his backpack.

Victor's son happened to walk out of the room at the same time.

"Eh? Someone touched my backpack last night," said Elrond.

The couple's smiles froze, and they looked at the young man who had just walked out of his room.

"Brat, come here. Don't run. Are you trying to drive me mad? You stole someone else's things!"

"Dad, Mom, I didn't steal anything," the youth screamed miserably.

Elrond shook his head and smiled faintly. He did not think that they were putting up a show.

It was very likely that the young man was taking revenge.

The three of them fought for a long time, and the young man had no choice but to give in.

His parents dragged him towards Elrond.

Victor said embarrassedly, "I'll definitely discipline this little brat in the future. Mr. Elrond, don't be angry with him."

"I'm not." Elrond did not even count the bullets.

"Why would I be angry? I forgot to apologize to you and your wife about something."

Elrond explained the whole incident that happened in the forest.

Victor laughed heartily and said, "Friendship starts from an exchange of blows for the both of you."

The young man smiled awkwardly and hesitated to say something. But eventually, he did not say a word.

He had studied those two exquisitely manufactured pistols for the entire night, but the youth could not figure out anything.

He did not know where the trigger was, nor did he know how to shoot.

He hesitated but did not voice it out.

Elrond started on his journey alone.

He bought the SUV in the end.

The desert was a no man's land that stretched over thousands of miles. A sandstorm would bury whatever traces that were left behind.

He was not stupid, and he would not be so dumb as to cross the desert by walking.

It was boring to drive alone, so he started to recall the conversation he had with Victor yesterday.

Then he remembered the moment when he bade them farewell.

He slammed on the brakes.

The car had traveled a long distance on the road. Due to the sudden braking, the hood in front of him suddenly let out a loud "bang".

He could not bother about the car. He opened his bag and checked his weapons.

Elrond's expression suddenly turned ghastly.

"Oh no. I lost two guns."

He wanted to start the engine and turn back, but the car broke down.

"Damn Fatty, I ended up being tricked by you."

He could not afford to think so much and quickly got out of the car to check.

Test Subject Two brought Ten and many experts from New Life Organization to the nomads' tribe.

They pointed guns on all of the gallant nomads' heads.

Two pressed a button on his wrist, and a virtual image appeared in thin air. The image was Elrond, without a doubt.

"Have you seen this person before?"

That man shook his head.

What a joke. Everyone knew that they might be silenced by these people immediately if they said they had seen Elrond.

Although the nomads took a neutral stand, they could not confirm if New Life Organization would suddenly go berserk?

After all, there were too many dreadful rumors about New Life Organization.

The story of New Life Organization brainwashing people to become their puppet warriors had spread throughout the world.

So when they were interrogated, even if they did see Elrond, they just pretended that they had not.

"Two, what should we do?"

A 10-feet tall monster walked up to Two and asked.

"Don't disturb me. How would I know what to do?"

This tall man was Ten.

Although he was Ten, he was the best among all the experimental subjects.

If not for the fact that he was a little mentally unstable, his fighting force would definitely surpass One.

Boom!

Ten came to a boulder and panted with rage.

The more he thought, the angrier he got.

Victor and his family were squatting beside this boulder.

"Didn't you say that no matter what methods we resort to, we have to catch up with Zero? So many days have passed, but we haven't got the slightest clue at all. Not even a clue— is there even a clue?"

Ten's appearance was exaggerated and slightly comical.

But Two knew that Ten was on the verge of a rampage.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to dissuade Ten, the latter suddenly smashed his hand onto the boulder.

Boom!

The boulder that was around half the height of a person cracked.

"I don't know, I really don't know anything."

Ten's terrifying appearance scared the youth so much that he almost pissed in his pants.

Victor realized that there would be trouble.

He stood in front of the youth and said, "Sir, this son of mine is a little mentally unstable."

Two frowned and said, "Mentally unstable?"

He walked to the youth and looked him in the eye.

The youth's gaze was a little evasive.

Two said with a smile, "Look at me. We don't mean any harm. We just want to find him. If you know anything, just tell us."

After saying that, he pressed the button on his hand again. The virtual image appeared in front of the youth.

Elrond's car broke down. He opened the hood, and his face immediately darkened.

The engine of the car had fallen apart, and the cylinder burst. Even if he managed to repair it now, it would not be able to travel far.

"Goddamn! I'm pressed for time. If I don't head back soon, the tribe might be in danger."

He could not care less. All the mechanical arms on his back started working.

The pickup truck was disassembled in slightly over ten minutes.

With the six mechanical arms on his back and his own hands, he assembled and disassembled swiftly. It was simply a dazzling sight.

Some mechanical arms were equipped with the ability to weld and shape. Very soon, the prototype of a two-wheeled motorcycle formed.

This kind of powerful mechanical creation ability was rarely seen in this world.

If anyone were to see it, they would definitely be shocked.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, several wolves appeared in the distance.

"Bang, bang, bang."

These wolves had not started their attacks when one of Elrond's mechanical arms shot the wolves, killing three at once.

"We can't waste food."

He was almost done assembling the motorcycle. Elrond walked towards the dead wolves and cut off the flesh.

Then he walked back to his improvised motorcycle and fixed up the back seat with iron wires. The back seat was modified from the original car seat.

In a hot place like the desert, placing the meat on this kind of seat would cook it in under 10 minutes. It would take no longer than two hours to turn the wolf meat into jerky.

"Boom!"

Twisting the throttle on the motorcycle, he raced back to the tribe.
