Section 137 Sinister 13
The town is actually not very small. Although the exterior of www.biquge.info the house looks dilapidated, it is an appearance, not really broken. In fact, the entire town was built after the refugees and troops withdrew here. It's a bit of a big place and it's relatively densely populated. There are not many people on the streets, and it is estimated that most of them stay in the houses.
The most important thing is that the situation of the people seen here is obviously much better than the people in other places (as far as Lu Wuyi Road can see) who live in tents and wander around. At least, there are basically no yellow-skinned, malnourished types of refugees. People here may be embarrassed, but they shouldn't even be able to afford to eat. In addition, it seems that there are also people cleaning up. Because at least there's not much dirt to see on the streets.
But in terms of the overall pattern, how to put it, it is very characteristic of most contemporary Chinese urban planning - that is, there is no planning. Lu Wu can only think that when the town was built at the beginning, it was simply to set aside empty land to form a road, and how to build the rest, everyone was eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.
For example, after circumnavigating two houses from the side, Lu Wu came to the source of the quarrel. A small square surrounded by several houses. Whatever the square was, it has now become a courtyard, because it is surrounded by a group of buildings, and there is only one entrance, if not a courtyard, but a courtyard.
A crowd of people gathered around the yard, shouting and shouting. But that's not right, because most of them are silent, and only two or three people are really arguing.
"It's already been four dead, are you going to continue?!" someone shouted angrily. It was a tall woman. As mentioned earlier, the racial problem in this world is definitely a mystery to Lu Wu. A relatively small number of them are of European and American appearance or Oriental appearance, but many more are closer to East-West mixed-race. In addition, the hair color and eyes are also more complex than the earth. For example, purple eyes -- there are very few of them on Earth. As far as Lu Wu himself knew, probably only Elizabeth Taylor had purple eyesβthere were quite a few of them. On Earth, brown, black, blue, gray, and green are the mainstream, but here, the range of colors is much larger.
For example, the woman Lu Wu saw, her eyes were golden. It's not the color of gold, it's darker, but it's golden, not yellow. The golden-eyed woman stood there, fearless in front of the man in front of her.
"Dead, all dead! How many more people will die to be satisfied?!"
"I can't ......help it," the man turned his head sideways, not looking at the other. "There is no choice......
"Survive by sacrificing women?" the golden-eyed woman sneered. "So, what are we going to do when they're all dead? When we're all dead, and then you're going to starve to death?"
"There is no other way...... man's mouth twitched slightly, his voice so low that he could barely be heard.
"Shut up, as long as you still have a little bit of self-consciousness as a father, you won't send your daughter to die!" the woman yelled. "Can't you choose to leave, get out of this damn place, out of that cruel bastard of Grummas! you've had a chance!" she shouted hoarsely. "But you gave up, who is to blame for that?"
"I can't go now. On the side, another man spoke. "We didn't know at the time...... We thought ......"
"Think there's a chance to go back to your hometown, a bunch of shit! stupid!" the woman spat hard. "Okay, come on, kill me!"
Everyone's attention was focused on the golden-eyed woman in the middle, and almost no one noticed that an outsider was coming from behind.
"This ...... What happened?" Lu Wu gently poked a person beside him and asked.
The other party didn't look back, and I guess I didn't expect a stranger to come by my side. "The Grumas thing. β
"Grumas?" Lu Wu sensed that there was something wrong with the pronunciation. I didn't feel it before, but at this moment, it feels like the meaning of "sickle" in the local language. It is not clear whether this is a mistake in the pronunciation by chance, or if it is deliberately said with such a homonym as a nickname. In the naming habits of this world, as far as Lu Wu knows, it is common to choose some sounds that have no special meaning as the name (speaking of which, Lu Wu's name is completely in line with the naming habits of this world), and to choose some words with special meaning, such as being favored by the gods, pure, gentle, etc., of course, it is also common to use the name of the item, but generally choose those items that have nothing to do with the battle. One of the taboos in naming conventions is not to name weapons, such as knives, swords, axes, etc., which is not a boast, but a deliberate disparagement.
Grumas asked for a woman...... "That person still didn't look at Lu Wu. Or he was so angry that he didn't realize that the person next to him was asking the question, a stranger in military uniform. "But never a woman has ever lived in his room for three days. β
Lu Wu was slightly surprised, but he also calmed down instantly. This is normal, isn't it? The world is also human, and human desires are always similar. It is true that the world is far more open than the earth in terms of both sexes - they don't even have a marriage ceremony. According to Amber and the Master, this is because the place is so remote that some remnants of old customs remain. In the real big cities and other places in the rear, ordinary people don't even have the concept of "marriage", and even female childbirth is as rare as a rooster laying eggs (this is easy to understand, pregnancy in October is a very heavy drag, and it is much more labor-saving and convenient to hand over to the machine). As long as you love me, there is nothing wrong with both sexes.
However, no matter how advanced science and technology are, the desires of human beings themselves remain the same. The need for this is only obscured and obscured, but it is not non-existent. Especially in the world, there are normal people, and there are also perverts. Grumas is supposed to be the latter.
"Why did you give it to Grumas?" Lu Wu was still puzzled.
Grumas stole all the food outside the city, blocking traffic in and out of the city. Now, even if you have money, you can't shop through the public trade network. The man said. "If you don't send it, you'll starve to death. β
"So, why not leave?"
"Leave?" the man snorted. "How do you leave? The original legion's warehouses have all been confiscated, and the clan's public property has basically been looted, and there is no food or vehicles...... How far can you go if you leave?"
Lu Wu directly felt that Grumas was disgusting, and the level of disgust directly increased by 30 percent. By Earthly standards, Grumas is a deserving man. He clearly has a perverted madness penchant.
"Partner, are you angry?" suddenly sounded in the headphones. It is estimated that because the attention of other people around him is not here, the master also spoke. "Want to deal with Grumas?"
"Master...... Are you only aware now?"
"Ha, it's not noticed. It's just that I've never seen you in this state, so I'm not sure. Your heart rate is sixteen percent higher, your adrenaline production is enhanced, and your blood circulation rate is nearly ten percent higher...... This is how your body reacts when you are angry. You want to deal with Grumas?"
"Yes!" replied Lu Wu gritted his teeth.
He turned his head and walked towards the car. He's seen enough of this side of things, and he doesn't want to look at it anymore. Besides, when talking to a master, it's best to have no one else around.
"Tsk...... Partner, pay a little attention, this is an obvious trap. β
"Trap? Yes, I'm glad I wasn't fooled. For this, Lu Wu was already convinced. If it hadn't been for the Colonel's reminder, he would have done something stupid and fallen into Grummas's trap. The warlock was hidden right in the middle between Lu Wu and Grumas. If Lu Wu chooses to attack, he will be intercepted in the middle, not to mention that there is another Gru who will obviously be on Grummas's side.
No! Lu Wu suddenly understood that even if the colonel didn't remind him, the master would remind him. If nothing else, at least the master knows that there is an invisible warlock waiting for him there.
"No, no, that's just part of the trap, far from the whole story. In fact," said the master. "Partner, what you experienced before is completely a giveaway. It's going to be here. β
"What do you mean?"
"Partner, this is the first time you've met Grumas, right? So, just as you don't know anything about him, what he knows about you probably comes from all sorts of legends and rumors. If he knows you well as a person, I'll admit, it's a clever and targeted trap with a good chance of success and it's worth trying. But the problem is that he doesn't know what you are like. Therefore, he must know that there is a high probability that his provocation will not succeed. After all, not everyone's lower limit is that high...... You have to admit that there are a lot of people who don't care about themselves. β
"You mean...... Those who were killed by him...... Didn't he want to use it to provoke me?" Lu Wu didn't understand what the master meant. "And, he's ready, right?"
"It's best to provoke you to do it on the spot, you see he even has the Warlock waiting for you in ambush. The master said. "But he's not putting all his bets on it. If you get provoked and attack him, that's the best outcome, but what if you don't get provoked? β
"Backhand?"
"The guy called Han just now, and the members of that group of local troops. β
"You mean, they all found me fake?" Lu Wu didn't quite believe this assertion. It's impossible to act to this extent in acting disguise. Besides, Grumas hasn't been here for a long time, and it would be a bit unbelievable to say that he could buy everyone to perform such a scene in such a short period of time. Of course, it can be an impostor. But if you're an impostor, if nothing else, Ivan is from the local legion of the Banshee's Gate, and he should be able to recognize it.
"No, you're misunderstood, partner, let's put it this way, but Grumas made it all out on purpose. Now, he wants you to attack him with these local troops. β
"Why?"
"To kill you justifiably. The master said. "You should understand...... He must have misunderstood that you were a member or prospective member of the Evening Star family, otherwise he would have sent a warlock to assassinate you. Because of this misunderstanding, because he was afraid of the revenge of the Wanxing family, he couldn't do it casually, but had to find a suitable reason or excuse to do it. What better excuse than for you to take the initiative?"
The master directly solved all the puzzles, and now, everything is connected to everything. That's right, a few unrelated heads may not be enough to provoke a person to do whatever it takes. But it doesn't matter, Grumas just showed Lu Wu a fact through this: Grumas and the local army are already incompatible. Therefore, as long as some information is leaked, these local armies will inevitably find Lu Wu and ask him for help. Lu Wu would not miss this opportunity under normal circumstances, and no one would miss such an opportunity, because if he could take this opportunity to drive away or kill Grumas, then the battle for the Floating Fortress would be settled, and there would be no more controversy.
