Chapter Ninety-Four: The Tiger
Sitting in the classic car of the volunteer team, Chen Mo entered Chisha Town.
It's a small town, very dilapidated, and the rows of low houses are not even as bright as those in the eastern suburbs coal mines. The streets were deserted, with bullet marks on the walls and a few wild dogs licking the dried blood between the cracks in the stone slabs.
Chen Mo didn't sleep much all night, according to his thoughts, he should have come over to get medicine last night, but Helen had some scruples, and the foreign devil next to him also behaved quite strangely. The routine of the cow not drinking water and pressing his head forcibly does not seem to be used on Helen, after all, she took the initiative to reach out to save Bai Xiaoran, and Chen Mo also knew that when she first arrived, she was not in a position to be brutal.
After more than two hours of bumping on a dirt road in the countryside, he is now here, but he has calmed down. Steven drove straight to the door of the largest building in the center of town, and several soldiers wearing crooked hats, who had been yawning and not waking up, immediately came to their senses when they saw Helen, and raised their firearms from a distance to surround them, like hyenas who saw rotting corpses.
Chen Mo didn't even understand a word of the other party's question, but Steven answered fluently, his expression was slightly nervous.
When the soldiers heard that the beauty was looking for Colonel Goldtooth, they did not dare to offend, and one of the young men hurried in to report. The rest lit cigarettes and stared at Helen as if they wanted to tear her clothes apart.
Colonel Goldtooth's lieutenant quickly greeted him, smiling at Helen with a "please" gesture. And when Steven got out of the car with Chen Mo, his face changed, he pressed his hand on the holster on his waist, and scolded fiercely.
"Your mother, we're together." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Chen Mo used the word "曰" again, this time he still connected with the other party's mother, Helen finally understood a little, it turned out that the sun meant this.
She glanced at Chen Mo reproachfully and explained a few words softly to the adjutant. Maybe it was her gentleness and beauty that could move people very much, but the adjutant who was less than one meter six and five but full of anger finally let him go, staring at Chen Mo was a little inexplicable, he hadn't seen a civilian who dared to smile at him for too long.
The sliding door freight elevator carried several people to the top of the building, and through the iron grille, Chen Mo saw soldiers with loaded guns on all floors where the elevator passed. The place, which was more like an office building, was now a wolf's lair that was easy to get in and out of, and the screams that came from the floor were terrible, and the adjutant's face hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat was expressionless.
On the rooftop is a sunny world, and the CD player is flowing with music. Dozens of young girls wearing silk cheongsams are dancing folk dances, the slits on both sides of the thighs can no longer be described as exaggerated, when the wind is a little stronger, the spring is often exposed, and there is no clothes under the cheongsam. A reinforced platoon of soldiers was scattered all over the rooftop, their eyes glued to the dancers, greedily capturing every white and pink visual stimulus.
The five-short gold-toothed colonel sat at a long table, with a straight uniform, a pair of toad glasses, and a silver Browning with an ivory handle stuck at his waist. Although there was no more than an ordinary chair under his buttocks, his demeanor seemed to be sitting on the throne of an emperor, and his thick brow contained all the coldness and cruelty of a violent philosopher.
The moment he saw Helen, he laughed, revealing his signature four golden front teeth, "Miss Helen, we meet again, please take a seat!" ”
"Hello, Mr. Colonel." Helen reached out to him and shook it gently.
The guards all around cast their eyes, and their fingers were intentionally or unintentionally connected to the bolt. Feeling those fierce stares, Steven felt a little dry in his throat, and couldn't help but miss the few bodyguards in his hometown.
"If David were with me, these monkeys would have a different expression." Steven thought a little helplessly, and at the same time noticed that Chen Mo was actually very calm.
Steven sneered, a little curious how long this guy could hold out.
After listening to Helen's intentions, Colonel Goldtooth was noncommittal, picked up a longan from the fruit bowl, and peeled it until the juice overflowed, "Miss Helen, in fact, I already knew that you would come to me one day." ”
"You're the supreme leader here, I can't think of anyone else." Helen smiled and shook her head, not taking the flesh from the other party.
This ambiguous action was rejected, which made Colonel Golden Tooth a little displeased, and asked lightly: "There are a lot of medicines here, but how can you be sure that I will help you?" ”
"I'm not sure, so I'm trying. Mr. Colonel, if you stretch out your hand, you can save a person's life, and God will see such good deeds. Although she knew that self-redemption would not be enough to clear Colonel Goldtooth's sins, Helen was still trying to impress him.
"God...... What is it? Colonel Goldtooth laughed, the beast's surname in his eyes clear, "If you come to talk to me about the conditions, you must first meet my conditions." One thing you said is right, in this place, no one but me can help you. See the dancing women? You change into their clothes, have a few drinks with me before we talk about anything else, and if you don't want to, you can leave now. ”
Seeing that things were really as he imagined, Steven gritted his teeth and stood up, "Mr. Colonel, my family still has some prestige and strength in the country, if possible, I want to make friends with you." As long as you can help us this time, there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I can guarantee that you can get a return that is definitely greater than you imagined. ”
"This is not country M, I have my way of being, and I am not interested in what you say. A little antitoxin may not even be garbage in your world, but in my territory, everything is priced by me. Not everyone can enjoy this feeling, so you'd better sit back and see the last time a guy who thought he could impress me was eaten by my dog for a few days, you really should have seen that scene. Colonel Goldtooth smiled sinisterly.
Looking at those eyes that were not human, Steven felt that the courage in his body was disappearing little by little. He could see that the other party was not bluffing, and he knew very well that in this hellish place, more terrifying things would happen every day. When the chips in his hand became worthless, he finally realized that he was still too idealistic.
"Have you thought about it? I still have a lot of work to attend to, and if Miss Helen is not interested, it would be best not to waste your time. Colonel Goldtooth's tone was indifferent, but his breath was rough.
Helen hesitated for a moment, her light gray eyes revealing firmness.
Chen Mo didn't know what the two were talking about, and when Helen went to change her clothes and came back, she was stunned.
The same style of cheongsam, but the curves outlined on Helen's body are extremely graceful. Even those dancers looked straight at it, and they couldn't imagine that this Western woman had such a good figure in addition to her beautiful face. Colonel Gold Tooth almost grinned to the root of his ear, patted the seat next to him vigorously, and asked Helen to come and sit down, just waiting for the warm nephrite to be embraced. The soldiers around him watched with admiration as the brown-haired beauty bit her lip and slowly walked up to the colonel like a tame dove, wishing that she could take her place and become the only recognized male character at the moment.
Steven's face was already blue, and he didn't dare to move, but a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"What are you doing?" Chen Mo vaguely guessed what was going on, but he couldn't believe that Helen would do it to this extent for Bai Xiaoran.
"He asked me to drink with him, saying that this is how he would give antitoxin." Helen tried to put on a smile and comforted him in turn, "Don't worry about me, everything will be fine." ”
Colonel Goldtooth didn't pay much attention to Helen's two henchmen from the beginning, and this kind of entourage protection, which symbolizes her surname, is naturally no different from a child's trick. Now one of the attendants opened his mouth when he was at the height of his interest, and did not even look at him, which undoubtedly revealed a different meaning.
What made him more concerned was another detail.
"Z people?" Colonel Golden Tooth almost burst out of these three words from between his teeth, and the words were round Mandarin.
"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded, wondering if everyone in this bird place had participated in the Z Wen training class.
Colonel Goldtooth subconsciously touched his waist and narrowed his eyes. The gunshot wounds left behind back then still torment him to this day, and he will be sore every rainy day. The rushing streams, the pouring rain of fire, the invincible iron army, often dragged him into the abyss of fear when he dreamed back at midnight.
He had fought against the most powerful army in the world and left behind his life - that seemed like something to be proud of. Now the young man in front of him brought back that memory, his hand pressed against the hilt of the Browning gun, which was as beautiful as a work of art, and the steaming hatred made his eyes bloodshot.
Chen Mo noticed his subtle movements and sneered, "Don't bully women, those around you are bitches, she is not." If you really want to talk about the conditions, you can talk to me. ”
"Talking to you?" Colonel Goldtooth was stunned, but let go of the handle of the gun, reluctant to kill the other party like this, "Tell me, how can we talk?" ”
"You give me the medicine, I'll go." Chen Mo said.
Colonel Goldtooth laughed so hard that tears were about to flow from him, and he raised his hand to stop the soldier who was carrying his gun, "Boy, you mean, if you don't go, I'm in trouble?" ”
Chen Mo stared at him without saying a word.
Another group of soldiers stepped out of the freight elevator, eight carrying a huge iron cage covered with canvas, their steps slow and heavy.
"Just in time!" Colonel Goldtooth jumped up in high spirits and walked towards the iron cage that had been lowered, "Last night my men fired five rounds of anesthetics to catch this baby. It's better for you to go into the cage now and make out with it, and if you can come out alive, it's not too late to talk to me about the conditions. ”
After the canvas was torn off, the behemoth that appeared in the cage made Helen's face pale.
This is an adult male surnamed Bengal tiger, after half a night, it has recovered from the strength of the anesthetic, at this moment when he saw the human outside the cage, suddenly let out a thunderous roar, the thick and powerful body hit the iron cage with a loud sound, but the colonel Golden Tooth was frightened and took half a step back.
The soldier raised his firearm, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at Chen Mo, and he kept shouting, forcing him to drill the cage.
Helen saw Chen Mo really walking towards the iron cage, her face turned pale, and before she could say the words behind "Mr. Colonel......" was interrupted by Steven sharply.
"Your compatriots are very smart, no one can save this kid now, let's think about how to save ourselves first!" Colonel Goldtooth glanced at Helen with a cold gaze.
Chen Mo arrived at the edge of the cage, and without waiting for the soldier to take out the key, he reached out and twisted it, and unscrewed the rusty iron lock. The cage door was lifted by him, and there was a sound of bolts pulling behind him, and the dancer's exclamations were hysterical.
Colonel Goldtooth did not give the order to shoot, but retreated, waiting in his excitement for a bloody scene to unfold.
The tiger slowly stepped out, shook his body, first looked at the soldiers, and then looked up at Chen Mo who was standing beside him, and the sharp light in his brown and yellow pupils faded.
Chen Mo noticed the familiar scar on the front of its nose, and at this moment, the eyes of man and beast had a strange intersection.
The tiger roared under his breath and fell to his knees.
