“These people are crows!”
“Why are they called crows?” David asked in puzzlement.
“They are not genuine hunters. They only dare to take action on the edges of the city where they rely on the defenses put up by the city to hunt the larvae of Bugs. They want to make profits, but they don’t want to take any risks, just like carrion-eating crows!” Jim explained with a hint of disdain on his face.
David glanced and scanned those people called ‘crows’. He only realized that there were all sorts of people among the crowd when he got closer. They were all looking at David with a menacing gaze.
However, David did not fear them at all. To him, they could not give him much pressure.
The Shadow Servant was currently above his head and observing everything around. As long as those people dared to take action, he would not mind dealing with them and showing them the power of a Level 2 Longsword.
Of course, at a spot that was not far away from them, there was a military heavy machine that was rather close to the wall. Hence, no one there dared to make a move.
While David was walking, a middle-aged man in a tattered uniform happened to turn around and spilled his glass of water all over David’s body.
“Excuse me, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” the middle-aged man frantically apologized with a smile, seemingly having not expected that.
“Be careful!” Jim turned around and answered with a frown.
“Forget it!” David patted his body to get rid of the water. Due to the chilly weather, he was wearing thermal undergarments. As such, only his jacket got wet. He was not too affected.
However, the powerful Mental Energy made him feel that the water reeked of an unknown odor. After sensing it carefully, he still could not figure out what it was.
He did not take it to heart either because it was just a small matter.
Jim arrived at the gate and used his identity bracelet to contact the people inside. Afterward, a small door next to the steel gate was opened, and the three of them walked in.
As they walked through the small door, David saw a deep steel tunnel that passed through the city wall. At the end of the tunnel, they would get a view of the outside of the city.
The tunnel had the same size as the gate. It also had a uniform height and width of 10 meters.
A military heavy-armored hovercar was parked at the exit of the tunnel, and two heavy machine guns were mounted on top of the heavy-armored hovercar.
“Jim, hurry and come over, we’re waiting for you!” a young man who was donning a military combat uniform called out with a wave of his hand.
“This is Daley. Daley, this is David. Well, you know who Maron is!” Jim waved and introduced everyone after he walked towards them.
“Maron, what’s that big guy you’re carrying? Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to teach you?” Daley said jokingly as he laughed and patted Maron on the shoulder.
“Daley, I will show you how I use it!” Maron answered as he twisted his shoulders.
“David, you’re so famous. The number of armorers who have died at the doorstep of your home is greater than the number of armorers that die in the wild in a year!” Daley said as he turned to David again.
David pursed his lips. As expected, the people who hung out with Jim were rather similar to Jim in terms of personality.
“Stop talking, let’s get out of town before those crows do. Otherwise, we’ll be really annoyed with them!” Jim called out to them as he jumped onto the heavy-armored hovercar.
David and the others jumped into the hovercar as well. At this moment, David finally realized that there were two other people in the hovercar. The one in the driver’s seat was a stern-looking sergeant while the other person was in a white trench coat and long boots. He did not look like he was going out of town at all. He seemed more like he was going to a cocktail party.
The man had long, shoulder-length hair, and a handsome face. If it weren’t for his distinctly masculine features, David would have thought that he was a woman.
“Jim, what’s De Quincy doing here?” Maron asked in disgruntlement as soon as he saw that man.
“Maron, Pelan City is not large in the first place. Let’s leave the official matters to the adults to handle. Don’t let there be a rift between us anymore!” Jim said nonchalantly.
“Maron, if you have the guts, let’s compete and see who kills more Bugs!” De Quincy said with a chuckle.
“Game on!” Maron answered with confidence. He hugged the rifle case in his arms tightly.
David remained silent. He could tell that apart from the sergeant, none of them were ordinary people. It was likely that they were all from powerful families.
“Sergeant Boris, please set off!” Jim said to the sergeant politely.
“Yes!” Sergeant Boris answered, after which he started the engine of the heavy-armored hovercar.
There was some tension in the car, seemingly caused by Maron and De Quincy.
“David, there’s a lot of Class 1 metal outside of this city. If you can pick up a piece, you can exchange it for a lot of credit points!” Daley said smilingly to David who had the least to do with the conflict, so as to ease the tension.
“David, don’t believe him. In the years after each major battle, there would always be some Class 1 bullets or Level 1 weapons of wounded and dead armorers that will not be covered after the military search. They would either end up deeper underground or get taken elsewhere in the body of the Bugs. However, after the years of scavenging by the crows, they’re all gone by now!” Jim said with a wave of his hand.
Jim thought that David was not rich and would be likely to do something and get into a mishap because of the huge temptation of the Class 1 metal.
He did not want David to encounter a mishap. Simultaneously, Jim did not desire to end up having a feud with Hans and Galen since he was the one who brought David out.
In fact, although David liked Class 1 metal as well, he wouldn’t try to get them just for the sake of credit points. He probably had many more credit points than anyone else in the car now.
He had more than 40 million credit points, which the major businessmen of the city might not even afford to cough up all at once. Most of the credit points that the businessmen had were spent on equipment and fixed assets.
Mr. Strat only had that much cash because he had the support of the organization, which wanted him to perform major business operations.
“David doesn’t care about Class 1 metal!” Maron interjected.
He then glanced at David’s back. If it wasn’t for the fact that he did not want to expose David’s Level 2 Longsword, he would have shown it to them long ago.
The rest of the group didn’t care about what Maron said, but since they started on that topic of conversation, the atmosphere in the car slowly became livelier.
David looked at the display panel in the car. The heavy-armored hovercar did not have any windows and everything outside was shown on the display panel.
At this point, the heavy hovercar had been driving for about 20 minutes. It was not going too fast nor was it traveling on a straight road. Hence, they were not far from Pelan City.
“Sergeant Boris is very experienced. When locating the larvae of Bugs, he will allow us to see the Bugs larvae up close and kill them ourselves!” Jim explained to David softly while seated next to him.
“What is the combat power of Bugs larvae like? How many larvae have you killed?” David asked curiously.
Although there was an introduction about the larvae of Bugs on every channel, none of those could be clearer than the description given by Jim who had personally fought the larvae of Bugs.
“If we use a strength that has the power of more than 800 weapons, each person can deal with one larva at close range. With a hot weapon, it would not be difficult for an ordinary person to deal with a larva from a greater distance. In fact, Bugs larvae can’t pose a threat to us as long as it’s not on a significant scale. I’ve killed more than twenty larvae in total!” Jim answered after giving it some thought.
David nodded. He knew more about the combat power of Class 1 Bugs, but he had limited knowledge about the larvae. After hearing Jim’s words, he knew that the larvae could not threaten him.
“Jim, the soil here is different, there should be a larvae present!” Sergeant Boris said in a deep voice.
David looked at the display to see that the ground in front of him did not look too different in the visual aspect. However, he knew that Sergeant Boris must have a reason for saying that.
“Alight with your weapons!” Jim said loudly.
Maron had already opened the weapon case and equipped the Eye of Death replica while also loading it with fifty pieces of ammunition. At this moment, he stood up with the weapon in hand.
“Great, this is the Eye of Death replica. It’s no wonder you agreed to have a match with De Quincy!” Daley exclaimed, not expecting Maron to be carrying such a weapon in his hands.
De Quincy had a sullen expression too. This time, he had only brought a D15 Shotgun that was used by individual soldiers. It was a medium-range powerful firearm with a fifteen-round capacity.
Normally, it would be enough for such a situation.
However, to his surprise, Maron brought a long-range sniper which was not one of the powerful models like his.
In that case, all of the Bugs larvae within Maron’s range of sight would definitely not be able to escape the Eye of Death replica that Maron was holding.
