Chapter 270 - 186: Have a Child
After hiking for four hours, lights appeared in the darkness ahead.
A glowing electric fence came into view, standing there like an insurmountable barrier of light.
This electric fence was fifty meters high, with illuminated watchtowers set at intervals. Each tower had two armed guards vigilantly on watch.
Countless large, bright searchlights swept the jungle outside the clear area, the cold white light almost making the place look like daylight. It was no surprise that Zhou Yuan and the others were spotted.
[This electric fence was the first line of defense for the human stronghold, designed to repel the mutant monsters. In addition to being connected to high voltage, it was equipped with dozens of machine gun turrets, with ample firepower to tear any invaders to shreds.]
Zhou Yuan was startled that this place still had electricity and firearms. He had thought the world had regressed to a primitive time of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
The three of them were not given much trouble after being discovered and were soon allowed passage.
Zhou Yuan noticed that hunters were held in high esteem here. The guards looked at Xia and the other male hunter, named "Qiao," with intense admiration and reverence, as if gazing at heroes.
He observed for a moment and understood what was going on.
These guards were all ordinary people, while Xia and Qiao were transcendent beings, surpassing human limits. Not only did they physically outclass normal humans, but they could also move freely in absolute darkness.
