The Last Gentleman

Chapter 905 Winter

 “Kim, Reagan…”

Yichen turned his head and looked deep into the empty alleyway. There was no one there. They were obviously still together when they were teleported through the emergency tunnel, but they disappeared after arriving in this world.

Even if Yi Chen spreads his perception and connects it to all the dead within a radius of one kilometer, he still cannot capture the breath of any companion.

“Did some kind of interference force us apart when we arrived in this world? Or was it some other reason?

 It doesn’t matter, we can get more information in the early stage by conducting separate investigations.

Reagan's brain should be able to easily connect the global information network. By then, just using an Internet tool will be enough to get Reagan's attention. "

Yi Chen noticed something strange next, and he suddenly touched his body.

The yellow leather clothes that were extremely close-fitting and able to adapt to the environment were gone, and even the little grape inside the body and the Nash parasitizing in the brain were nowhere to be seen.

At present, he was standing naked in the alley.

All his friends disappeared, but Yi Chen's thoughts suddenly changed direction. He suspected that the 'interference' this time might not be caused by the phenomenon of the current world, but by another thing, another phenomenon.

"Is William causing trouble in secret? That guy is absolutely dishonest. The so-called "you can only appear with a player" is just a way of saying it.

 He is just hiding through the video tape. He should be able to appear in the outside world at any time and affect everything around him at any time. After all, he is also a phenomenon-level existence and is also the master of the epidemic. "

When he thought of this, Yi Chen became extremely angry and even imagined the scene of beheading William.

But with the sound of waves crashing over, and a warm palm gently placed on his shoulder, Yi Chen quickly became calm again and no longer resented evil.

 Sensing the nearest dead people around him, Yi Chen prepared to use one of them as a carrier to observe the current world and gather preliminary information.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

　　A beggar who used cardboard as a bedding and froze to death in the cold winter suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. The outline of his face remained the same, but his inner essence changed into Yi Chen.

 There are actually many dead people to choose from in the surrounding area.

For example, a few intersections ahead of a young man without a helmet, the will-o'-the-wisp, hit a road pillar and was instantly silenced.

For example, a young man in his twenties who works in a company not far away has just died suddenly.

 For example, there is a dead body tied with stones drowning in the river under the bridge.

However, these are not very good choices. Yi Chen chose the homeless man because he is inconspicuous, at the bottom, the least likely to be noticed, and is suitable for the initial investigation.

There is another reason. A robbery is taking place in the alley where the homeless man is. Yi Chen can take this opportunity to get a sum of money and ask these people about the surrounding situation.

 Deep in the roadway,

Three strong men were surrounding a single woman who had just returned from the vegetable market with vegetables and pork in her hands. The latter was so frightened that her glasses even became crooked.

The world is still using old-fashioned mobile phones without smart payment functions. Even though the woman handed all his bags over, the other party still had no intention of leaving.

Just when one of them reached out to grab the woman’s collar,

　　Boom!

 The beer bottle suddenly shattered on the side, and the glass shards just penetrated his cheek, causing blood to flow. He covered his face and screamed.

Moreover, one of his companions had already fainted on the spot after being hit on the head by a beer bottle.

The remaining two gangsters suffered varying degrees of cuts. They covered their faces and looked in the direction where the beer bottles were thrown.

The homeless man, who had been kicked several times without any movement, actually stood there, staring at them with fierce eyes.

The leader of the gangster was angry because of his injury. He ran towards the homeless man with a switchblade in his hand, and shouted loudly: "How dare you hit us with a bottle, a piece of **** like you."

Unexpectedly, a wine bottle was thrown again and hit the man firmly on the head.

Snapped! He fell directly to the ground, unable to move.

The last gangster woke up immediately, saw something was wrong, and ran away.

Only the woman who was robbed was left, holding on to her unzipped coat with both hands, shivering... After half a minute, she came back to her senses and focused her pupils. Although she was very scared and nervous, she still bent down and picked up the meat and vegetables scattered on the ground, took back her leather bag from the gangster, and then walked as fast as possible to catch up with the homeless man who saved her life.

“Thank you for saving me! If you don’t mind, you can come and sit at my house. I can make something for you to eat... Judging from the way you look, you probably haven’t eaten for a long time.

 In addition, my husband is about the same size as you, so he should be able to find you a set of well-fitting cotton clothes. It’s too cold for you to wear so little. "

 “I’m very dirty and smell bad.”

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. If it weren't for you...I might have...please accept my kindness!"

Yi Chen originally wanted to refuse, but considering it was a good opportunity to ask for some information about the current world, he nodded in agreement. But he still deliberately kept a distance from the woman to prevent the smell from getting to her.

“Don’t you need to call the police?”

But the woman shook her head, "It's difficult to get through the police call. Even if they get through, they won't come to deal with such a trivial matter. Let's leave quickly before they wake up."

The streets in winter are sparsely populated, telephone poles are covered with missing person notices, and more than half of the shops are closed.

Follow the woman into a seven-story building, which is also filled with various missing person notices, even more small pieces of paper than lock opening and maintenance notices.

 Go all the way to the top floor,

The woman still had not recovered from the robbery just now. The hand holding the key was still shaking, and she finally inserted the key.

“Come in quickly~ Although it’s not very warm inside, it’s at least much better than outside... It’s really cold this winter.”

Yi Chen slowly followed him, but he was stunned as soon as he entered the room.

There is a memorial tablet directly opposite, with a framed picture of a gentle man wearing glasses hanging on it, staring right at the door.

Although Yi Chen is the agent of the God of Death, it feels really uncomfortable to be watched like this.

The hostess also noticed this and quickly explained: "My husband has been missing for a week and will not come back again."

Yi Chen was a little confused. If he had only been missing for a week, there would be no need to act like this, right? But he didn't ask, and walked into the bathroom alone.

It seemed like he was rinsing his body with hot water, but he actually used this opportunity to fish out the "body" from the Dead Sea again and cover it with the homeless man's body. Anyway, he was wrapped in dirty clothes and his hair was messy and he couldn't see what the body looked like. The hostess also couldn't see what the body looked like. No doubt.

The voice of the other party also came from outside the bathroom, "I threw away the dirty clothes for you. My husband also has several sets of unworn winter coats. I will leave one set outside for you."

I'll cook first, and you can treat this place as your own home. You can stay there for as long as you like... It's like this outside anyway. "

Yichen quickly changed into clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

The hostess who was cutting the meat turned her head and was stunned. She had no idea that a homeless man who was unkempt just now could actually be such a handsome young man. Even a beard that had not been groomed for a long time could not cover his handsome face.

"May I have your name?"

"easy."

“Mr. Yi, it seems that you are not over thirty yet... But in this situation, it is no wonder that you are wandering outside. It is really unsafe for men.

 My name is Liu Xinzhi, you can call me whatever you want. You can go outside and watch TV, but I guess there aren't many TV stations showing programs anymore. "

Out of curiosity, Yi Chen asked the question first, "Ms. Liu, if your husband just disappears, is it possible that he will come back suddenly?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this question came out, the woman's force in cutting the meat with the knife increased instantly, and her expression became gloomy.

"Mr. Yi doesn't need to worry about this, he will definitely not come back... After all, he followed that woman, and I thought he was dead from the moment he left.

However, I don’t blame him, after all, that woman is so beautiful. "
