Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The short knife bounced twice on the ground, with a crisp trembling sound.

This is not a very good knife. It is just a piece of iron that has been sharpened and then wrapped with a cloth strip.

However, it is enough for killing people.

After all, he was on the street. Huo Buyang didn't believe that this Jinsheng dared to be so decisive when he first came up. But in the final analysis, if Jinsheng hadn't been unaware of Brother Lu's strength, and if the theft failed and an accident occurred on the way, this man would not have been stingy in giving away the sharp blade in his hand...

"Don't get excited." Lu Meng said, "We have expected something like today to happen."

Huo Buyang was silent for a while and nodded.

Yes, this is the countermeasure they have discussed long ago.

It would be better to say that based on the custom of living in the wasteland, it would be abnormal if something didn't happen.

The weak eat the strong.

The superficial strength of the three of them is the type of people who are most likely to be eaten.

If you want to live a peaceful life, either, show your strength.

Or, lure the snake out of its hole.

Different from the chaotic world in the black market, Lu Meng and others are new to Qingyang Street and are not suitable for establishing their authority to eliminate possible threats. This will arouse the vigilance of gangs.

Moreover, Lu Meng and the others knew that the Fog Man was coming. It was possible to use strength to suppress conflicts in the early stage, but these conflicts were most likely to break out together when they were really busy. If some young people wait until then to take action, the solution will be even more troublesome.

They don't know the character of other residents, and they can't screen them one by one. They can only give false information to let those who may take action to take action as soon as possible and solve the problem at once.

Don't expose your weaknesses in the wasteland - except in one case.

"Bait".

But Huo Buyang didn't expect that this person would be the first to bite the hook.

It turned out to be the co-worker he saved with his own hands, and it turned out to be Jinsheng who had just been treated by Brother Lu.

Also, only by experiencing this can Jin Sheng know their "industry".

Because he was injured and needed to recover, and he had received help from Lu Meng and others, he had an excuse to distance himself and avoid possible investigation afterwards.

As for...

How can that little friendship compare to livelihood?

Looking at Huo Buyang who was suddenly silent, Jin Sheng suddenly panicked.

Although he was frustrated because of the failure of his plan and worried about how he would be dealt with, he never felt afraid.

When he saw the young man angry, he trembled nervously, but he just didn't want the other person's stick to hit him.

However, now that the other party silently put down the weapon, he felt fear.

——Despair even.

This situation is so weird.

It seems like they knew they would come here?

Jinsheng looked at the man who captured him the moment he met him.

This man was dressed like an ordinary scavenger with black rags all over his body, but no matter who he was, he would not equate him with a scavenger at this moment.

The brim of his hat was lowered, blocking his view, but there was no doubt that he was looking at himself.

'who is he? ’

Jinsheng suddenly became alert.

He finally understood what he couldn't understand.

The source of that weirdness.

Even if this weirdo was standing in front of him, Jin Sheng would subconsciously ignore his presence.

It's like he has been hiding in your shadow.

After seeing him, can I still live?

Seeing the miner suddenly twisting and struggling, Lu Meng stepped forward and picked him up.

He called to Xiao Huo: "Let's go."

Huo Buyang followed silently.

‘Wait, you can’t take me away! ’ He wanted to say that.

He wanted to kill himself. The reason why he didn't do it at home was because he was afraid of being stained with blood that was difficult to clean.

Lu Meng carried him to the street.

‘Killing people in the streets? ’

No, this is too conspicuous and will be regarded as a provocation to the gang. They have all guessed that they will come to the door, and it is impossible to miss this level.

Lu Meng and Huo Buyang continued walking.

‘Are you going to your own home? ’

Dumping his body in his own home, pretending to be a suicide...

But passed.

These two people didn't seem to care at all where their home was, they didn't know.

Jinsheng saw the street exit in the distance, where there were still gang members standing guard.

‘They are going to leave me in the wild and kill me! ’

Jinsheng understood, but these people would be discovered by the gang.

They are getting closer.

help me!

Suddenly, Lu Meng and Huo Buyang rushed forward. Even though they were lying low, their speed was astonishingly fast.

Before the gang members noticed it.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

In the blink of an eye, all these people fell to the ground.

Jin Sheng was stunned.

It was enough that Xiao Huo could knock them unconscious with an iron rod, but the other person was still carrying himself!

And I always feel that they seem to be somewhat skilled in doing this.

"If you want to blame, blame him." Lu Meng patted the miner on his shoulder.

I didn't plan to improve my performance tonight.

He also kindly moved one of the gang members so that he could sleep more comfortably.

The three of them just walked out of Qingyang Street.

In the dark night, Jinsheng could no longer tell up, down, left and right in the bumpy road.

It's just that the two people who kidnapped him seemed to have a clear purpose and walked straight in one direction.

"Ouch~"

Jinsheng heard the dog barking.

He was very familiar with this sound. That day he was bitten by the bone dog that rushed towards him, and then was saved by the little Huo next to him.

He opened his eyes and took a look.

That's a bloody mouth!

Then a big hand held it down.

Started stroking its head again.

The man in black who was carrying him was actually squatting and playing with the bone dog!

Even the boy who had been silent seemed to relax a lot at this moment. He stepped forward to scratch the bone dog's back, but he was still a little cautious.

But Jin Sheng felt uncomfortable.

The bony dog's mane and nails scraped against his body from time to time, causing him pain and stinging.

He was even more frightened.

They actually raised such a beast in the wild!

I see.

Because Xiao Huo saved himself from the bone dog, is he going to feed himself to the bone dog now?

Sounds like a fitting punishment.

but……

‘You beasts! ’

He doesn't want this!

Jinsheng was twisting wildly.

Xiaogu is also eager to try.

"Quiet, otherwise I won't take you with me."

At this time, Lu Meng pressed down on the restless bones again, took out a piece of dried meat from its backpack and fed it to it.

Feeling that the miner on his shoulder was getting more and more restless, Lu Meng was a little troubled.

Click.

He simply knocked Jinsheng unconscious just like he did to the gang members.

…

In the past few days, the new old doctor has fallen ill.

He needs to stay in bed for a good rest, so he won't be able to go out to receive patients in the past two days.

Everyone expressed understanding.

The old doctor was working too hard a while ago!

Although judging from the strength of his hands, the old doctor's body is still very strong, but he cannot bear to work in such turns.

Everyone hopes that the old doctor can get better soon.

Especially those gangsters who had inexplicable and splitting headaches - without the old doctor's big hands, they felt like they were going to die.

As a last resort, these people could only take a few days off and go home to rest.

However.

Only Jin Sheng knew where the real old doctor was.

No, that's not an old doctor at all.

He was just a young man with white hair, and he could even be considered quite handsome.

Jinsheng was lying on an unknown masonry platform at the moment, with a simple camping bed underneath him. It looked like he was in some ruins.

He was still bound and gagged.

Just twice a day, this man would even come over and feed himself with his own hands.

In this "warm" scene, Jin Sheng didn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, it felt cold to the bottom of his heart.

Because this person has completely stopped pretending in front of him.

Sometimes, the white-haired young man feels hot, so he sits aside to rest, pulling off the collar covering his mouth and nose, taking off his bamboo hat to fan himself, and letting his hair flow.

If you notice that you are looking at him, you will smile back.

But there was no warmth in that smile.

Jin Sheng didn't understand why he brought him here. Want to die in the wilderness? Then why give yourself food and drink.

The only possibility he could think of was that this young man was going to sell himself to a slave owner.

Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of his body, so that a healthy miner can be sold at a good price.

He had heard about the price of slaves and it was heartwarming.

Lu Meng noticed his gaze and gave him a reassuring gesture.

'If that's the case, maybe, maybe...'

Maybe I can still survive?

Being a slave is a fate worse than death.

But he discovered that this young man who concealed his identity and sneaked into Qingyang Street with such good intentions must be someone with a big secret.

If I reveal this to the owner at that time, I might be able to get free...

The weather was sultry and hot, so Lu Meng didn't give him much water.

Jin Sheng fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he felt the coolness all over his body, the breeze blowing, and occasionally moisture hitting his face.

So comfortable——

It's night.

Jinsheng was pleasantly surprised to feel that someone was untying the rope around him.

Is that young man going to let himself go?

No, judging from the feeling he made me feel, this man would never do such a stupid thing.

That means someone comes to save you.

Whether it was a passing scavenger or someone else, someone came to save me!

At worst, you'll be ripped off for a few coins.

He had a hunch that no matter what the outcome was, it would be better than continuing to stay with the white-haired devil.

Jinsheng struggled desperately and told the man that he was still alive.

A hand removed the rag from his mouth.

"Hey, cough." He retched twice, "Yes, be careful of that white-haired scavenger."

The person who came to save him must be reminded.

Jin Sheng didn't know the true identity of the young man, but judging from his attire, he was a scavenger, which he could understand.

……Um?

There was a fishy smell, like offal that had been left for a long time.

The other party heard what he was talking about and came to him curiously.

Long head, pale blue skin.

And a big mouth dripping with saliva.

"Uh-li-li?"

…

Lu Meng was lurking in the distance, watching all this.

It is said that in the center of Kirishima, there is a city called Mengler.

In Mongleri, there is such a legend:

'When you sleep at home, close the doors and windows tightly, and be sure not to let anyone see you lying on the bed, otherwise you will be taken away by the fog. ’

Detect the movement of the fog man.

This is what "bait" really means.

Now that Lu Meng was keeping a safe distance, he couldn't actually see clearly what was going on.

Just the sound coming from far away can be heard.

In addition to the roars of the fog people, there were also some curses of "devil" and "you are Narco".

First miserable, then weak.

This miner probably really thought he was a believer in Auckland, so he cursed himself with the most vicious words in the Bible.

"Narko? It doesn't matter." Lu Meng played with the three coins in his hand, which added up to exactly 15 coins.

"I never said I was a good person."
