Chapter 220: The Fate of the Scavengers
At noon, Zhou Yihan and Zhang Xintong finally came to the ruins of a new town, for the scavengers, every time they saw the ruins of a town that they had never been to before, the mood was the same as opening a treasure chest, nervous and nervous, for fear that they would get the words "thank you for your patronage", but they were eager for the items marked on the treasure chest
Gambling stones rely on luck, scavenging is also luck, but there is also the element of diligence in it, every day to walk an extra city, it is equivalent to opening a treasure chest more than others, double the odds, the probability of winning the lottery will naturally be greater, today, their luck is good, because they came to this town It seems that no one has come, standing on the hillside and looking down, there is no one in the town..
"Night Charm, look over there.."
Standing on the hillside overlooking the block, Xintong suddenly stretched out his hand to point to the entrance in the other direction of the town, Zhou Yihan looked there, and there were several figures running towards the town in the distance, and they couldn't see it after entering the block and being blocked by the buildings.
"Let's go too."
Xintong turned down the hill in a little urgency, scavenging is like this, not only did she have no food to eat when she was late, but she couldn't even drink the soup, so Zhou Yihan was dragged down the hill by her.
..
Going down into the town, there is a bit of dead silence in the town, which makes people feel a little oppressive, and there are some old bones piled up in the inconspicuous shadows of the cracks in the streets, which is proof that someone has been here or has been there, and when you enter the block, many of the shops on both sides are open, and some of them have been violently demolished
Nearby, the two entered a store where they didn't even know where the sign was thrown...
"Ahem.."
Inside the store, the cobwebs are crossed, because the door is always open, the store is scraped with dust, Xintong covered her mouth and nose and walked in, but Zhou Yihan noticed the footprints on the ground, many of which were newly stepped on...
"Xintong.."
After noticing this, Zhou Yihan hurriedly raised his head and wanted to ask Xintong to pay attention, but it seemed to be too late, two people with steel guns, wearing bullets, and looking like bandits were escorting her out of the back room.
"This is okay, it's definitely worth a good price to sell it to those capital guys."
The two bandits in the store pinched Xintong's pretty face and looked at it, Xintong, who was in her prime, still had a little greenness on her face, and a luxurious and gorgeous long skirt on her body also added a bit of maturity to it, which could be said to be completely in line with the taste of the two bandits in the store, and the evil eyes were scanning Xintong's body up and down
"Fifth brother, this man can also be, his body is quite strong, and he looks okay, just enough to sell it to the old man in Yangcheng who has strange habits, and it is estimated that he will be able to knock him hard again."
The other two bandits outside the store also walked in at this time, but their eyes were looking around at Zhou Yihan, the four of them, if they took one out, they would be stronger than Zhou Yihan, not to mention that they still had guns in their hands, and of course, they would not put two such weak men and women in their eyes
"Don't! Nightshade help me."
The bandits outside the door pinched the muscles on Zhou Yihan's arms, and the bandits in the door began to do something to Xin Tong, Xin Tong was grabbed by their arms, so he could only twist his body to dodge, and at the same time asked Zhou Yihan for help, only to see that he was a little tired and half struggling, and spit out two words expressionlessly..
"Close your eyes .."
Xintong obediently closed her eyes quickly, and there was only a "buzzing" air shock in her ears, and the store burst out with bright green light!
Immediately, Xintong felt that the feeling of her arm being pressed all the time disappeared, and she instinctively just opened her eyes, when a palm suddenly blocked her eyes, and Zhou Yihan's familiar and calm voice came from her ears.
"Leave it alone, follow me.."
"Oh.."
Xintong weakly agreed, and walked forward in small steps under the traction of Zhou Yihan, although she didn't know what was happening around her, but the bloody breath that came to her nose was smelled, she knew that Zhou Yihan must have made a move, and it must have used the mysterious and strange spell used when giving her clothes...
Out of the store, walked a long way, Zhou Yihan let go of her, Xintong looked at him for the first time, he still looked like he hadn't woken up, the clothes on his body were clean and tidy and there was no bloodstains, and then he looked down at himself, it was also average..
"Night Charm.. You just .."
Xin Tong felt a little scared from the bottom of her heart, Zhou Yihan heard the sound, and also turned her head to look at her, I don't know why, at the moment when her eyes met Zhou Yihan's eyes, she suddenly couldn't help but have a feeling of fear in her heart, although that feeling was just fleeting, but she really took a step back!
Zhou Yihan glanced downward, noticed her movements, and said with a smile: "You don't care, as long as you know that I won't hurt you."
“..”
After listening, Xin Tong pursed her lips and didn't ask again, she was blindfolded and only walked under her feet, and she didn't have any sense of direction, until this moment she noticed that they were not walking in a straight line, but through the block road, walking diagonally to the opposite side, raising her eyes to look at the obvious tall buildings in the distance, which was the direction of the scavengers who entered the town one step ahead of them.
..
In the same town, in a relatively open two-story building, more than a dozen people who looked like thugs were guarding a group of scavengers who were about as many as them, they were surrounded in the center of the room, a large group of people were huddled together, and then not long after, two more people who looked like thugs pressed four scavengers to walk in from the door.
"Damn, another bunch of shit.."
The two thugs pushed the four scavengers and their companions together, and went to the side with a look of disgust, and reported to a man who was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette, and looked of some status: "Big brother, the four newly caught are still waste, and their physique is too weak to meet the employer's requirements."
"It's okay, it's called Hanako, isn't it?.."
The man flicked the cigarette ash indifferently, looked at a separate hut by the hall, and glanced at the thug guarding the door, and the thug understood in seconds, and stepped forward to open the door.
"It's a big deal not to do his business, anyway, we caught so many chicks, and as soon as we sell them, we won't lose money this time.."
"Woo~"
There were many women tied up in the room, not only did they have scavengers, but also some of them were dressed in plain clothes, thinking that they were tied back from other cities, and their luck was not very good, not only were their hands tied, but they were also strangled by cloth belts, thinking that they were afraid that they would make a noise and cause some unnecessary trouble..
"Huh.."
The cigarette butt bottomed out, the man flicked it casually, and flicked it into the circle he called Hanako, and a group of frightened people hurriedly dodged, an unlucky young man didn't pay attention, the cigarette butt fell down the back of his coat, the guy was in pain, screamed and got up and shook off his shirt..
"Bang!"
Seeing this, a thug with a gun around him shot him in the center of the eyebrow, and blood suddenly overflowed, with some white spots in it, splashing on the faces of the people around him, causing an uproar, and they hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands to force themselves not to make any sound..
"Dispose of the corpse.."
The man waved to one of the people next to him, and then waved to the other, and the man suddenly signaled, took out an expensive cigarette from his pocket, smoked one, handed it to him, and lit it for him
The man took a deep breath, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said to the two thugs who had come back to report, "You go back first, and then wait, if there is no target that meets the employer's needs tonight, we will leave."
"Got it, big brother.."
The thug knew that he and his companion left the room, and when they walked out of the door, they happened to pass by the other two thugs who were carrying the body, and when they went out of the door, they went in different directions, and the two thugs carrying the body carried the body to a house next door to settle it, and after a while, they came out again..
..
"These inhuman guys .." Not far from them, in the window on the second floor of a small building, two pairs of eyes looked straight at them and went out, Xintong couldn't help but say angrily
Zhou Yihan turned his head to look at it, grinned and provoked a slight arc, then turned his gaze back, leaned against the wall on the side, and said: "Don't blame them, most of the scavengers are stragglers, there is no organization behind them, and anyone can be bullied casually."
"What do you mean you can bully casually? Aren't we scavengers human?!" In anger, Xin Tong turned her head without thinking and yelled at him, her eyes already blood-red
However, Zhou Yihan just tilted his head to look at her, and replied lightly: "Do you think it is in their eyes?"
Under this question, Xintong clenched his hand and did not speak, most of the scavengers were in poor health, and many were very old, they had no skills, and regarded each other as opponents, because there were only so many things that could be eaten and used in the ruins of a town, and if you gave it to others, you would not be able to eat enough, and if you couldn't eat enough, your body would naturally be very weak.
After a long time, Zhou Yihan glanced at her with his spare eyes, but seeing her reaction, he added: "This is the fate of the scavengers, you can't change it."
"Night Charm.. Can you save them... I know you're going to be able to do it."
Xintong turned her head to look at him pitifully, and tightened the strap of her shabby backpack on her back with her palms.
“.. We scavengers are really pitiful, eaten.. Wearing.. With: can only pick up people's used ones. Don't.. Discrimination everywhere... And to be bullied.."
"What's ?.. about me?"
Similarly, Zhou Yihan also turned his head to look at her instantly, with a strange cold expression, and said indifferently: "It's not the person I asked them to arrest.. I rescued you, took you on a trip, and I can say that you are beautiful, and you want me to offend another group of difficult fellows because of a group of people I don't know?"
In this way, Xintong didn't know what to say anymore, last night, if she hadn't met Zhou Yihan and happened to come to this town today, she would have been bullied by the four thugs in the store as soon as she entered the city, and now she will be in that group of people, ready to be bought and sold as goods...
"Ha~"
Zhou Yihan yawned lazily, waved his hand at her and said, "Let's go, since they are here, it is estimated that there will be nothing to eat in this town, find a quiet place to take a nap, and we will leave when we wake up."
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, Xintong looked back at the small building outside the window, and after hesitating, he still turned his head ruthlessly and left with Zhou Yihan.
