* Two days after his visit to Montana Haze returned to visit them to pick up his recruit. The helicopter was waiting on the roof and on board Major Haze and a kid as tall as three apples. As she walked towards the device Deveraux grabbed her by the arm *.
- Are you sure about that? Once you join them I could do nothing for you.
-I don't need you to cover me up, I would be able to manage.
-So you hurry? * Screamed Haze *. Kerosene is expensive these days.
-I will wait for your return. * Said Wald *.
-I trust you.
* She gave them one last smile before getting into the helicopter. His gaze suddenly grew and his smile disappeared *.
- Be well my daughter.
* It has now been 3 days since the group had left RossTown, the beaten track seemed far behind now, the young people have had time to recover from their experience. The exit of the Red Sky was closer and closer and the Yellow color of the sky of the neighboring region was now visible. That said, only one problem remained, a mountain range in front of them was blocking their passage *.
-We can always bypass. * Suggested Louis *.
-If we do that we might be under Yellow Sky ... * Said Midas *.
-But we won't have enough fuel to reach the city. * Added Siren *.
-Up to you to decide. * Said Chloe to Clark *. You feel a trap, what are you doing?
-If we bypass we can always ask our friend the Evo to pull the vehicles ....
-Oh, but you're not?
-But I guess he's not Superman.
* He lowered his head and turned to the mountain *.
-My My I feel that I will regret it. * He whispered *. Everyone grabs a gun and prepares to cross.
- I suspected it. * Said Siren already armed *.
* She removed the card from the hood of the car and put it away before getting behind the wheel of the Pick-Up. Clark went upstairs with Chloe to watch her better. Midas, Gloria, and Louis got into the Humvee *.
- Do you want me to let you go past? * Midas asked over the radio *.
-You're crazy it's you who has the armored vehicle.
-You score a point. * He said amused *.
* The convoy set off with the starting formation. The vehicles went fast enough without consuming too much fuel. Clark scanned blind spots by reflex *.
- Are you looking for bombs? * Asked Chloe lying in the backseat *.
-Or shooters. * Said Siren who had a can in her hand *. We're not Iraq Uncle.
-Yeah ... It's worse here. * He said *.
* Up front Gloria was sitting next to Midas who was driving. The atmosphere was not great despite the loud music in the vehicle *.
-You are tired ? * She asked *.
-What?
-I asked if you were tired. I can drive. *She says*.
-Oh that. Don't worry, my skin is tough. But if you want to drive that much you can always sit on your knees I will be your teacher. * Said he smiling *.
-Stop joking around in a place like this. * She said embarrassed *.
* Louis, who was on guard on the turret, went down inside *.
-By the way, Midas, I heard you talk to your sister about something. What is the least human game?
-The most ... It's the game of the most human. * Corrected him *.
-And what is it ? * Asked Gloria curious *.
-Well I can not give you the details but let's say that the first to c***k will have to conform to the lifestyle of the other. * He said *.
-Oh just that. * Said Louis disappointed *.
-What is your sister's way of life? * Gloria asked *.
-Do you remember the house where we had to stopover?
-Euuuh yes more or less. * Said Louis *.
-We even heard gunshots. * Gloria recalled *.
-How do you think Siren got that dress she wanted so much? Do you think she showed up and the landlady gave it to her because she's cute? No, she took it. The lady resisted and Siren killed her.
* Louis and Gloria were surprised to hear it, for them the house was abandoned and the shot was a mistake. Especially since she had left without a drop of blood on her *.
-This is my sister's way of life. I take what I want and I act as I see fit.
-I wouldn't want to disrespect you * Said Louis *. But your sister is a real nutcase.
* Midas stared at him instantly, giving him a dark look. Louis was intimidated and unconsciously trying to grab his spear. But Midas smiles at him *.
-Take your weapons they are there. * He said turning off his music *.
* Their long drive was about to end. They had crossed the mountain using the roads traced by man. Yet around them and from their entrance, figures lurking in the shadows followed them hidden behind the trees. Everyone was on guard. Then at the first left turn Louis saw an arrow slowing down on the Hummer. He immediately jumped up and grabbed the one aimed at the hood, catching it in flight. Midas drifted into the turn and Siren followed. The blonde who had emptied her can threw it out right in the path of an arrow that still managed to get lodged above the Tire. She then took out her gun. After the turn it was a straight line with rows of trees on each side. Clark pulled out his shotgun and c****d it. Rains of metal arrows were raining down on the tail vehicle where Chloe was*.
-What the f**k is it? * Asked Chloe *.
-Nothing it rains just steel. * Clark said before climbing to the back *.
* Just behind them, people dressed like savages holding bows and others armed with spears. Some even had axes and they were running behind the car *.
-f*****g Evos. * He said *.
* The dude aimed and opened fire on the first one who avoided the shot, he fired a second shot but they still avoided. Tired of aiming he threw a grenade at them but one of the evos caught it in flight and smiled at him. But Evo was surprised to see Clark smile back at him. The Marine opened fire on the phosphorus grenade which literally caught fire on them *.
- Go get put on.
* He gave them a middle finger but an arrow failed to spit him and he bent down *.
-Band of ...
* Up front the situation was a little more stable. No evo was stalking them *.
-We have to go and help them. * Said Louis *.
- Calm down, I have a plan.
* The brunette suddenly turned in the forest, crushing several shrubs. He quickly landed on an unpaved road and followed the path before entering a tunnel *.
- s**t we lost the others.
* But he saw vehicle on their tie still following them *
-Fortiche the blonde. * He thought *.
-Gloria takes the wheel. * He said *. Once out of the tunnel you will position yourself at the back. Their arrows will ricochet off our armor.
-Including.
-You lower yourself. * He said taking Louis' place *.
* The young man took out a hunting rifle fitted with a scope and aimed before firing. The bullet killed one of the evos who did not see it coming. Clark who was in the back got it *.
-We're doing it small.
* Clark opened fire, the first evo avoided him but was shot in the head by Midas, that said it took sick reflexes to synchronize the shots in these conditions. The evos weren't really dodging bullets they were moving right before Clark fired. And it is precisely this movement that betrayed them. After having had 3 to 4 of them the savages stopped following the convoy *.
- They give up? * Louis asked *.
-No doubt it. * Replied Midas *.
* Once out of the tunnel Gloria pressed hard on the handbrake forcing the whole troop to stop *.
-Hell why did you stop? * Louis asked *.
-Look. * She said petrified *.
-Oh f**k. * Said Louis Shocked *.
* Right in front of them was a car graveyard that looked like it came from an old traffic jam. On top were hundreds of corpses with placards marked "we don't want you" *.
-The bastards. * Said Louis *.
* The savages came out of their hiding places stretching their bows. Some even had flaming arrows which was bad for the vehicles *.
-What are we doing ? * Midas asked over the radio *.
- I don't think we have much choice. Put down your guns without resisting.
- Are you serious? They will skewer us directly.
- Something is wrong with this mountain. * He said *. Until I know what nobody resists them is it clear?
-Th, you're the boss.
* This is how the troop agreed to follow these primary humans without offering the slightest resistance *.
* End of chapter *
