Chapter 618: Hell

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Lisheng had already somewhat understood the changes in the terrible situation on Earth in this period of one year when he was gone and was secretly proud of his cautiousness.

Since the gods from the Shrimp World No. 1 had joined forces to launch a raid on Earth a few months ago, he could imagine that as the world’s first power in science and technology, the United States must have inevitably united with the Atlanteans to study counter-measures method and perhaps had succeeded in doing so. If he had hastily entered New York using his divine power, then perhaps he would have been discovered by now and might have even been attacked.

As he was thinking so while planning to walk to Jasmine West Street to try his luck after the car stopped, he suddenly heard Darwin replying after a moment of silence, “Since you have nowhere to go, it’s better to stay with us for a night. Just figure it out tomorrow instead.”

“Oh okay, this is also a good idea.” Zhang Lisheng was stunned and felt that he had nowhere to go anyway. Since he had received an unexpected invitation, it would be better to stay with these blacks, who seemed to have some secrets, for a while. Perhaps he might even obtain a pleasant surprise from this episode.

After hearing the young man accepting their offer, Darwin no longer spoke and continued to drive silently. Jenny, who had achieved her aim, began to badmouth eloquently about the Atlanteans. It seemed that she had completely blamed the terrible fate that they were trapped in onto the aliens.

Just like this, the car continued to round in the slum-like streets of New York City aimlessly in the black young girl’s curse.

When Zhang Lisheng was starting to find it weird, he suddenly heard Bob, who was sitting in front, shouting in a pleasant surprise while pointing to a graffiti of two major symbols of the country—a bald eagle squatting on the shoulder of Uncle Sam who was holding a rifle—that could faintly be seen on the mottled wall on the roadside. “Darwin, look! We found the mark!”

Darwin abruptly turned the steering and ignored the vagrants cursing loudly. He pointed the car lights to the wall and illuminated the blood-red letters ‘Earth and Independent’. After looking at it carefully, he turned the car around and drove past seven to eight streets before entering a dark alley along the road.

“We’re members from the ‘Earth Independent Movement Organization’ but we’re definitely not a mob.” Jenny tried to explain to Zhang Lisheng all the way. In the dark, Bob also turned his head and held the carbine next to him as he observed the young man’s face. However, they did not know that Zhang Lisheng did not even know what this so-called ‘Earth Independent Movement Organization’ actually stands for.

“You guys are so kind, of course, you’re not a mob!” When the car got into the alley, the young man looked at the gloomy narrow alley dripping with water outside the window, and asked, “Alright, where are we going now? The gathering place of your organization in New York?”

“I’d call it our New York’s branch instead.” Darwin suddenly interjected, “There are believers and divisions of our organization in all the big cities with more than one million people in the entire American continent.”

Then, he slowly parked the car next to the back door of an old building.

Zhang Lisheng got off the car with four black men and women. He saw a fuzzy fluorescent sign hanging on the door but could not make out the name due to the power outage and its antiquated state. however, judging from the iron door wrapped in rough skin, he guessed that it should be a bar before this.

Darwin made an eye gesture towards Bob and the others, motioning them to retreat to the side. He proceeded to knock six times continuously on the door and after a pause of two to three seconds later, he knocked another five times.

“Who’s there?” After waiting for a moment, a low muffled vicious voice resonated from inside the door.

“A green wolf from Boston’s ‘wolf cave’ bringing three gray wolves and one guest,” Darwin replied in a low voice.

“Do you see the CCTV under the signboard? All of you, raise your hands and stand underneath.” The voice in the door replied in a slightly relaxed voice.

“This is not a friendly request to make of your brothers and sisters.” Darwin replied with a gloomy tone, but still looked up to look for the CCTV before walking underneath it and raising his arms.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lisheng secretly chuckled and followed Bob and the other two to raise his hands as he stood beside Darwin.

After more than ten seconds, the iron door opened with a ‘thump’. A vicious-looking man whose fat face was covered with lush beard, with a height of two meters or more, weighing three hundred pounds, wearing a greasy gray woolen coat with his exposed arms and neck covered in tattoos stretched out his head.

“You’re the guests from Boston’s ‘wolf cave’?” He asked with a blank expression.

“We are not guests but ‘brothers and sisters’.” Darwin frowned and tilted his head toward Zhang Lisheng. “Only him alone is a guest.”

“Oh,” The tall and burly man curled his lips and had a disdainful expression on his face. Even so, he still opened the door completely and said, “Come in.”

It was indeed a large-scale bar inside the iron gate. The wooden bar with a length of more than ten meters was clearly visible, but the alcohols in the wine cabinet were already in a mess. The row of high chairs in front of the bar had been removed and was placed all over the room.

Under the illumination of the dark red light, several dozens of young men and women of different skin colors were passing around four to five simple made-shift bongs made from big Coke bottle while puffing smokes out of their mouths as they swayingly sat on the high chair. Excitedly, they were looking at two men wearing blood-stained suits whose faces were covered with fresh blood with a terrified and desperate expression on.

“Alright, alright! Look, nobody is going to save you. Only you can save you, so fast! Fast, continue to fight! The one who wins can leave.” A short-haired young man sucked in a large mouthful of weed in satisfaction and excitedly passed the drug to the female companion sitting on his lap before shouting loudly.

As he was yelling, a hysterical scream resonated in the smoky abandoned bar. “Only one of you two mongrel dogs who work for the aliens can go out alive. Hurry up, fight now! Hahaha...”;

“Move! Continue to fight now! If you don’t make any move, even 50% of your chances of survival will be gone...”;

“Break your colleague’s neck, oh you little mustache man! Break your colleague’s neck and you can go home to eat steak tonight! Hey, think about your family, they are waiting for you to go home...”

The waves of sound were blocked by the thick stone wall, as though going to set the roof flying soon.

In the face of such horrifying temptation, the two men in the center of the bar began to fight while shouting shrilly in “Ahhhhhh...” in a terrified yet ferocious manner.

“Oh god! W-What are they doing...” Jenny who was standing on the iron door stared blankly at the two men killing each other using fist, leather shoes, elbows, knees, and even their teeth, and shouted out in horror.

“Don’t make any sound, Jenny.” Bob covered his girlfriend’s mouth with a grave expression and regretted not bringing his rifle with him.

The instant his words left his mouth, the burly man who opened the door just now replied sinisterly from behind them, “These two fellows are mongrels who work for those Atlanteans. They’re the traitors of the Earth! We managed to catch them with great difficulty and make them kill each other, so as to serve as a warning for those who work for those aliens and let them know that they won’t get a good ending betraying their own planet. What, ladies? don’t tell me there’s no such ‘entertainment’ in Boston’s ‘wolf cave’? ”

“Boston has just defeated the attack of Tuen people so the entire city was in curfew before this, we didn’t have any opportunity for any ‘entertainment’ at all,” Darwin took a half step back and quietly blocked between the strong man and Jenny before turning his head to reply in a low voice.

Looking into each other’s eyes in the dark red light that seemed to be filled with diluted blood, the burly man seemed to have found some similar shadows from Darwin’s unrelenting gaze. He smiled ferociously and did not say anything. Instead, he proceeded to walk towards the two men in a suit who were now lying in the pool blood not moving at all in the middle of the room.

When he walked up to them, a slightly thinner one of the two men abruptly climbed up from the ground and spat a piece of flesh and blood from his mouth. In a daze, he muttered in an extremely dry voice, “I’ve won! I’ve won! I’ve killed Robin! I won! I killed Robin! I can go back now! I won! Y-You guys will let me go, right? Will let me leave right? I want to go back! Annie and Brooke are still waiting for me...”

“Of course we’ll keep our promises. Don’t worry, buddy, since you’ve won and bit your colleague and friend to death, you can go back now!” The burly man smiled cruelly and grabbed the man’s shoulder before shouting loudly, “This gentleman has won the duel of life and won the opportunity to go home, let us cheer for him!”

“Hip hip hooray...” Looking at this burlesque scene, the young men and women in the room jumped out of the high chair and shouted in exultation.

Amidst the cheers, the man, who originally did not believe that the gangsters would actually let him go even after he killed, his friend deep down in his heart and merely wanted to fight for that negligible opportunity to survive, gradually became convinced that he could really leave this hell.

“Thank you! Thank you for letting me go, sir! I-I’ll never spill this incident to anyone! Haven’t I killed as well? I’ll not...” Gradually returning to his senses from his endless fear, this man actually started to have a sense of gratitude towards this demon beside him, prompting him to mutter incoherently in a hoarse voice.

“Is that so? Then I have to thank you more.” The burly patted the man-in-suit’s shoulder and made a ferocious grimace face at his companions. After eliciting a laugh, he said loudly, “C’mon, I’ll walk you out! Do you need a shower?”

“N-No, I’ll just say that I encounter an accident. Thank you, sir! Thank you...” The man answered as his breathing gradually turned rapid.

“If that’s the case, let’s go.” The sturdy man shrugged and walked the man in a suit to the iron door.

The closer they were to the iron door, the more labor the breathing of the man was. When the burly man reached out a hand to put on the doorknob, the surprise and relaxed expression on his face became so exceptionally thick. However, to his surprise, the burly man’s hand that was placed on the doorknob abruptly retrieved as his elbow hit him hard on the chest.

After a loud terrifying loud sound of ‘pak’, the broken ribs stabbed into the organs of the man in a suit. His eyes turned wide in horror as blood began to flow out of his ears, nose, and mouth. Immersed in excruciating pain, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why? Why? Didn’t you say t-that you’re going t-to let me go? Why? W-Why...”

“Well, coz I like to see your happiness turning into an expression of falling into hell on the face of you Earth’s traitors so I lied to you. Sorry, dude!” The burly man said and reached out a hand to twist the man’s neck. At once, he attracted a lot of cheers.

While he was being bathed in the laughter and praise of his companions, he suddenly heard an annoying voice. “Urgh, what kind of luck is this. I first thought that I’ve walked into the nest of the radicals but who knows it’s actually just a madhouse. Being together with madmen is the easiest way to get into trouble, especially a group of madmen who like to ask for trouble...”
