Indescribable cyberpunk

Swart Rental Store

The first thing Zhu Jue saw after leaving the three-story long-distance bus that he had been on for nearly ten hours with a weapon box on his back was this transportation rental store located outside the valley.

"He Ye, when I was on the bus, I thought carefully about whether you chose this place for me because you wanted me to die and inherit my inheritance. But we are not husband and wife. Although I have no family, there are no employees. Rules for inheriting the boss’s legacy.”

Zhu Jue, who was breathing in the fresh air around him and looking a little depressed, looked around at the vast plains other than the store in front of him and the sparse houses in them as he spoke.

The so-called vast land and sparsely populated area is the best explanation for this.

Zhu Jue, who was about to cross half of the world, arrived in this remote hilly area. The nearest city was dozens of kilometers away.

A five-hour flight, a three-hour high-speed train, and a three-hour long-distance bus ride. For Zhu Jue, this far trip made people like him want to find a place to have a good sleep.

The only consolation is that the environment here is very good, the nature has not been eroded by the city, and the sun falling on the body makes people feel a wild and hot feeling.

"But the address on the photo says this is the Swart Rental Store. It's correct."

Li Qinglian was also shocked when she found the address of the photo before. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the development of the Internet has truly turned the earth into a village, and the audience of Weird Studio has spread all over the federation.

"Tsk, we have to start filming now."

Take the blue bird out of the backpack and prepare to take a high-altitude image to record the surrounding environment.

After simply setting the cruise function and watching the Blue Bird successfully take off, Zhu Jue's eyes returned to the store in front of him.

The decoration of the store is quite in the style of a western movie that Zhu Jue has seen before. It looks more like a tavern than a rental store.

In fact, Zhu Jue guessed it right. When he pushed open the two half-covered steel fence doors that only reached his waist, what he saw was a long bar and a tall, crude iron shelf filled with drinks.

Melodious music echoed in the tavern.

There are more than a dozen round wooden tables and chairs made of wooden barrels. There is also a small open space about 3 meters in diameter in the center of the tavern. A long bar is suspended from the top, and a holographic projection is played under the continuously rotating mechanical long stick. , the content is about a hot dance of several blonde beauties wearing almost no clothes.

"Not suitable for children. Wu Tong, stop looking, your eyeballs are about to fall out!"

Zhu Jue suddenly reminded him. Olivia and Li Qinglian in the studio turned their heads subconsciously, and they saw Wu Tong who was "staring" at the holographic projection with a ridiculous look on his face.

"There seems to be no one in the store."

Zhu Jue scanned around and looked behind the bar. There were only a few mechanical appliances. Even the store manager was missing, but the door outside was open.

His eyes fell on the bell placed on the side of the bar. He grabbed the string and shook it. The copper balls inside hit the iron walls on both sides of the bell, making a crisp sound.

"coming!"

A greeting came from the right.

Zhiqua~

Where Zhu Jue originally thought it was the wall, a mechanical door suddenly pushed back, and then moved to the side. A middle-aged man wearing a blue suspender overalls, with messy brown hair, a beard, and a stocky figure Come out of it.

The ensuing smell of livestock and the intermittent neighing of horses proved that the back of the tavern seemed to be a horse farm. Zhu Jue thought about the sign of the rental shop outside, and soon began to think about the traffic the other party mentioned. Could it be that the tool is a horse?

"What would you like to drink? Is the guest coming from out of town?"

The owner of the tavern looked at Zhu Jue with a strange look. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask,

"Well, I made an appointment with someone here. Let's have a glass of wine with ice. It's a bit hot outside."

"Are our guests here for hunting? There are a lot of game animals in the valley this season..."

The amber liquid was poured into the glass, and the store manager took two square ice cubes from the ice machine on the counter and put them in.

Zhu Jue took a sip of the wine noncommittally, and the hot feeling mixed with the cold wine filled his throat. Regardless of the taste, this "nine layers of ice and fire" feeling was surprisingly good. The store manager drank another glass without changing his expression. Zhu Jue, who pushed the wine glass back, was also a little surprised and quickly poured another glass.

The fan in the hotel swung its head and rotated, and the buzzing sound made by the rapid rotation of the fan blades was particularly noticeable in this quiet environment. Zhu Jue drank strong wine, his eyes stayed on the store manager, and his nose slowly twitched, like It's smelling something.

He drank up the drink again. This time, Zhu Jue did not push the glass back. Instead, he poured the ice cubes in the glass directly into his mouth. Then he leaned forward, stared at the store manager, and grabbed the ice cube in his hand. After pouring the wine bottle into his mouth, the latter looked at Zhu Jue's sudden move, and the expression on his face gradually changed from the initial shock to a weird one.

"You must be a murderer!"

After drinking half a bottle of wine, Zhu Jue smashed the bottle on the counter, his face turned slightly red, he was chewing crushed ice cubes in his mouth, and he could vaguely see the amber liquid that had not yet been swallowed.

"What are you talking about? I'm just a tavern manager. How can I be a murderer?"

The store manager's expression froze, he twitched the corners of his mouth and continued.

"Hmph, I smell lies!"

Turning sideways, making a fist with his free left hand, and pointing his index finger straight at the store manager's head, Zhu Jue swallowed the crushed ice cubes and the wine, and said in a deep voice,

"You're cheating on me!"

"kill him!"

The honest-looking store manager suddenly yelled, and immediately there was a dull explosion on the roof of the tavern, and five fully armed soldiers suddenly landed.

But just as their legs landed on the ground, one of them received a side kick on the head, and the whole person flew out in the air. His body was lying crookedly among the broken tables and chairs, and blood was flowing from the mechanical mask. It was obviously... Can't survive.

The remaining people looked at the man who had appeared beside them at some point, and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands to turn the muzzles.

He smashed the steel mask of the man on the left with one punch, kicked the gun out of the hand of the man on the right, then turned around and threw out the wine bottle in his hand, accurately hitting the tavern owner who was taking out the gun, then turned around and jumped up with one hand. On the table, the remaining two also took a kick from him.

"Hiccup~ You guys look down on me too much. If you want to kill me, just send these few people?"

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Zhu Jue frowned and burped.

Of course, Zhu Jue didn't have the ability to smell lies. In fact, it was Li Qinglian who discovered through the bird's-eye view camera that there was a stripped corpse behind the tavern, and that there were several fully armed mechanical soldiers huddled behind a cabinet on the roof. Contacted him.

Zhu Jue originally thought they were causing trouble for him, but now it seems that these people's abilities are really not that good.

"There is no one left. As for the five people ambush on the roof and the store owner you just saw, I don't think they are ambushing you."

Li Qinglian looked at the content displayed on the screen, and her eyes were quickly attracted to a dark figure in the lower left corner that was approaching the tavern.

Someone else is coming.
