Chapter Eighty-Six: Dilemma and Savior
Chen Mo never dreamed that he would meet Tie Niu here, and reached out to touch a large handful of thick and messy beard hair, which was sure that it was him.
Since Tie Niu was able to remember things again, Chen Mo was the only one who was really waiting for him, and he couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled, holding Chen Mo and shaking it vigorously, "I feel a little like you in front of me, and I'm afraid that my brain is confused and I recognize the wrong person." ”
Chen Mo was almost shaken to the point of falling apart, and finally got off the ground, and said in amazement: "What are you doing here, why am I here to save you again?" ”
At that moment, there was a strange and dull rumbling sound, followed by a tremor that seemed to shake the whole boat.
"Fuck!" Zhuo Yitian suddenly scolded and walked the way he came.
Chen Mo was stunned, and then realized that most of the huge iron gate outside had been lowered, and now he and Zhuo Yitian seemed to be unable to get out of the bilge. The iron gate has only risen half the height, and it is thick and wide, almost like a flood control. Before, the two of them had to crawl in, and Chen Mo was a little muttered at that time, but he didn't expect that he would really be tricked now.
"How did you get in?" Tie Niu's reflex arc is much longer than that of ordinary people, and he is still amazed, and after a long time, he patted his head and almost cried, "Mother, did the door ring just now?" When did you open the door, I would have gone out if I had known! ”
Tie Niu had been locked up on this ship for many days, and since the last time he had a drink with Chen Mo, he had left the abandoned factory with his things on his back. The kerosene was running out, and there was no food to eat, and he felt that he should go out and find some work. The stray dog Maotou is very familiar with the surname, and when he saw that he had taken away all the blankets spread on the ground, he seemed to see something, and followed the iron bull's ass all the way, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Tie Niu didn't know that Chen Mo had gone to look for him many times after that, and he didn't go back there. The weather began to gradually warm up, and there were more places to sleep, such as the edge of the wall, the bridge and the hole, and the farmland greenhouse. With Maotou here, there is often meat to eat, this guy is a real example of a dog taking a mouse, and he can catch one by one.
Because of its terrifying size and appearance, very few people dared to leave the iron oxen to work. Only once when he passed by a brick kiln in the countryside was he stopped by someone on his own initiative, and the big fat boss looked very kind, and smiled even more kindly after noticing his dull eyes. That night, Tie Niu drank a bowl of porridge from the brick kiln, which was so rare that it could be used as a mirror, and this little thing was naturally not enough for him to be at the bottom, but when he asked for it again, he was scolded by the old man who put the rice, saying that he didn't understand the rules and wanted to eat without even doing work. It's better to dream about eating farts.
Tie Niu didn't dare to say anything, he dug the soil all night, and the next morning it was still a bowl of porridge, and he could still be used as a mirror. The fat boss saw that he was strong and strong, and he was not allowed to rest, so he worked for another day and night. Tie Niu gradually found that the people who worked together in the brick kiln seemed to be a little more wooden than himself, and few of them could speak smoothly, and they liked to look at people with straight eyes.
A few days later, in front of the iron bull, the fat boss beat one of the bricks on his back until he vomited blood, and after the person fell, he pulled his hair and knocked it to the ground, and finally the yellow earth turned red. The man who was beaten was a mute man, wearing a pair of torn pants all over his body, curled up on the ground and screamed "Hehe" in his mouth, and then no matter how he hit, he didn't move or make a sound, so he twitched his fingers.
Although Tie Niu was afraid, he still went up and begged the boss not to fight again. The mute had taught him how to burn bricks, and he felt that he could not watch people die.
As soon as Tie Niu spoke, the dumb man was fine, and the fat boss took a few people to hit him with a pickaxe, saying that the new goods were not polished or shiny. The iron bull ran, never thought that the hair would come out, and bit the fat boss with a bite.
The fat boss threw up the pickaxe and pumped it on the dog's head, pumping the hairy head into the air, and the blood rain was splashed in the air.
At that moment, Tie Niu felt that the place that often hurt in the back of his head was no longer painful, but cracked.
He doesn't remember what happened after that.
When he woke up again, the white chaotic light in front of him gradually faded, and he found himself throwing up. The fat boss and the helpers were all lying on the ground, to be precise, sticky, and there was only a thin layer of stuff left that I didn't know how to describe. The old man who was in charge of putting food was the fat boss's father, and he couldn't scold anyone anymore because he had lost his braincase.
Tie Niu fled with the dog in his arms, and this escape fled to Haizhou, Jiangbei, relying on two legs, and ran to a place that he thought was far enough.
Maotou didn't die, but he was seriously injured, and his mouth was open. Iron Bull went to the docks to find a job, and the dog limped after him, and the wound gradually deteriorated, and when he looked at him, his eyes were still moist and loyal, but he was not much angry.
Tie Niu heard the workers talk about paying money, so he also wanted to go to the foreman to buy medicine to cure the dog. The foreman was unwilling, afraid that he would run away after a few days of salary advances, and no one else would borrow it. On this day, Tie Niu sat alone by the river, holding his hair and dazed, just begging God to bless it until it was time to make money.
The girl passing by stopped her steps, looked at the iron bull and the dog, and reminded lightly: "If you don't save it, it will die." ”
"I don't have any money." Iron Bull's rugged face was full of confusion.
"With your ability, how much can't you earn if you want to make money?" The girl looked very surprised, looked at him carefully for a long time, seemed to see the stupidity that was different from ordinary people, and smiled sweetly, "You come with me on the boat, I will help you cure your friend, no money." ”
The girl was very beautiful, and her eyes were blue.
Tie Niu stared blankly at her smile, thinking that it was probably because God heard his cry for help and sent such a fairy-like kind girl.
But somehow, Iron Bull shivered at that moment.
On the boat, Maotou was really treated and quickly recovered. The girl asked Tie Niu to quit his job, and stayed in the bilge to eat, sleep, and never let him show up. After a long time, Tie Niu began to get a little used to it, and always felt that he was not going to go away from eating people in vain, and wanted to go out and ask if there was anything he could do to help, but he found that he had been locked up.
The bilge structure had been modified, and the three-foot-thick iron gate was painted the same color as the bulkheads, tightly insulating the reading space. The girl appeared once after, stood by the vent six or seven meters high, threw down a thin metal cylinder in the shape of a fountain pen, and told Tie Niu how to unscrew the needle at the front end, saying when he would stick a needle in his body and when he could leave.
The girl brought a few men with gloomy expressions around her, and they also brought hairy heads. Maotou's injuries were already healed, and through the iron grid of the vent, I saw the iron bull standing below whining, shaking its tailless buttocks. The man leading it pulled out a large hunting knife and scratched his nails with the shiny tip of the knife, although he didn't say half a word, the iron bull somewhat understood the meaning.
So he didn't think about it, turned the needle upside down, and gave it to himself. The needle broke off on the spot, and the few people standing on the high place were all dumbfounded. The girl had already sent someone down to try the same thing before, Tie Niu always slept very dead, snoring and shaking, but none of them could successfully complete the injection, and when he saw that he was still doing it himself, his face immediately became cold.
"I don't know how to get it, obviously I don't have the energy! The little girl said that I was acting, and that I would be starved until I was half dead, and then come to prick me. Tie Niu scratched his head, so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, "She seems to be quite angry, she won't stew her hair, right?" I didn't do anything bad, why should I suffer this retribution? ”
"If you can do bad things, you're probably better off than anyone else right now." Chen Mo comforted, "The little lady is beating your idea, and she won't kill Maotou." Speaking of this, she paused, and heyed, "Exchange dog lives for human lives, she can also think of this method, it's fucking awesome." ”
The metal barrel with the broken needle was in his hand, and judging from the strong fluctuations it emitted, it was obviously related to the strength of Luo Li's body. In the process of fighting in the Heavenly Palace, Chen Mo noticed that this seemed to be another kind of potential robot that was not pure enough. He couldn't figure out what the little lady's intentions were, and why they wanted to let Iron Bull inject such a thing, but there was no doubt that she saw Iron Bull's terrifying power and wanted to use it.
The iron gate had indeed fallen, and when Zhuo Yitian returned and heard it now, he had vaguely guessed why this giant had been shot head-on as if nothing had happened, but he still didn't dare to believe that there was really this kung fu in the world today.
"Do you have any pain in your body?" Zhuo Yitian opened his mobile phone and looked at it, but there was no signal.
"It didn't hurt anywhere, it was just that you smashed me with a cannon just now, which scared me." Tie Niu smiled, "I live here alone, and there are two more Leng Ding, I thought I was here to get a needle!" ”
Zhuo Yitian subconsciously took a breath of cool air, as if the person who was squatting in front of him was a steel giant beast at all.
"Is the gate closed every day?" Chen Mo was more concerned about another issue.
"yes, I go to see it every day, I close it every day, and I don't know what's going on today." Tie Niu thought for a long time, and suddenly screamed, "Probably that kind little girl wants to let me go!" ”
"Kind?" Chen Mo was stunned, not knowing what these two words could have to do with Luo Li.
"I don't mean blue-eyed, there was another little girl on this boat today, the lights were still on at that time, she threw food down from the opening above to me, so don't be afraid......" Before Tie Niu's words fell, the bilge suddenly turned on, stabbing the three of them to not even open their eyes.
While Chen Mo barely regained his eyesight, he immediately raised his eyes and looked around. This is a closed space of more than 1,000 square meters, with a lot of sundries piled up, and the shelves are full of rust and dust. There was indeed a vent diagonally open at the height of the bulkhead on the east side, and while Chen Mo was running out there, Zhuo Yitian also moved, both of them were in general thoughts, and stuck to the bottom of the bulkhead. This blind spot cannot be seen by the people above. Zhuo Yitian quickly glanced around again, but did not see the second vent, nor did he see the monitoring equipment, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
With the faint vibration of footsteps from the upper floor, Tie Niu looked at the two of them a little confused, and saw that Chen Mo made a gesture, so he nodded as if he didn't understand, rolled his eyes, and fell straight back.
With a muffled sound, Tie Niu's whole body collapsed like a building, and the back of his head hit the ground of Tie Ge firmly, but his expression was as if he had just fallen on the soft and comfortable Simmons bed, and he said to himself: "I'm asleep!" ”
He began to pretend to snore, and the faces of Chen Mo and Zhuo Yitian here could no longer be described as wonderful.
The footsteps stopped above the high wall behind the two of them, and Luo Li's quiet voice sounded, "This person's body is really powerful, no one has fed him, right?" ”
"It's been more than a week, and I've only given water, nothing else." The man beside her replied respectfully.
"Well, from today onwards, we won't even give him water, and the lights here don't have to be turned off anymore. When he can't, come down and implant the bud. Luo Li said coldly, "Even if he is really iron-beaten, I want to make him completely turn into a mollusk, and once the defense collapses psychologically, the success rate of implantation will be much higher." ”
"Understood, miss." The man answered.
After Luo Li left, Chen Mo was in a trance for a long time, and when he found out that the copycat machine also had no signal, he couldn't help but look at Zhuo Yitian and smile bitterly.
It's when people are negligent, and the other party shouldn't have expected that there would be special police outside the Heavenly Palace, and they touched the nest so quickly, which made the infiltration process simple. The origin of that thin metal cylinder also proves that Luo Li did not deliberately set a trap for it, but Chen Mo now has a headache than entering a real trap.
How to get out?
Suddenly, an earth-shattering majestic whistle vibrate, and even the lights of the entire bilge were dimmed. Chen Mo was taken aback, and then saw Zhuo Yitian sitting down against the wall, lazily raising his eyebrows, "Hey, let's start the boat!" ”
This night, Chen Mo didn't close his eyes again, he had already realized another more fatal problem.
Tie Niu looked extremely happy, pulling Chen Mo around, wanting to give him his bed made of canvas. Most of the wooden boxes on the shelves were some labor protection supplies, gloves and raincoats, and Chen Mo pry more than a dozen but didn't see anything useful. In addition to the iron gate outside, there is a door in the west corner of the bilge, but it is locked, and there is not even a handle on the bare side of the door. The Iron Bull had already dented the hatch and was rusty and mottled everywhere, but it had never been able to break it open.
The shelves were all welded to the ground, Chen Mo estimated the height of the vents, and found that even if all the wooden boxes were piled up, they would definitely not be able to get there.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute. Forty-eight hours later, the slowness revealed a sense of suffocation.
Chen Mo didn't know where the boat had gone, whether it had stopped, and what the people on the boat were doing. He felt like a caged beast, the same violent lust that was building up in his veins.
No food, not a drop of water. Tie Niu was already crying out for hunger in his stomach, and he didn't understand why that kind little girl didn't come.
Chen Mo didn't expect any savior at all, his words became less and less, and after building a toilet with canvas and iron frame in the corridor leading to the iron gate, he told Zhuo Yitian that he could use it at any time, and made a rare joke, saying that he had to charge for the entrance fee.
Looking at the kind of light that was becoming more and more obvious in Chen Mo's eyes, Zhuo Yitian had no doubt that if Luo Li walked in here now, he would be torn to pieces of flesh and blood.
On the third day, several packets of compressed biscuits and two bottles of purified water were thrown away.
Zhuo Yitian's eyes widened in disbelief, she never imagined that she would be led to go crazy by this little thing one day. She and Chen Mo were still leaning under the east bulkhead, in case someone suddenly came, Tie Niu was still sleeping on all fours in the center of the cabin, looking in the direction of the vent at the moment, smirking and just wanted to speak, but then nodded, raised his fingers the thickness of a carrot, put them to his mouth and "shhh
Probably the other party made the same move, signaling him to silence.
The biscuits were divided equally, and the three drank a bottle of water and kept one. Chen Mo took the spilled biscuit crumbs in his palm, ate very cleanly, and somewhat relieved his spirits.
This little thing was naturally not enough for the three of them to eat, so he divided his share of biscuits with Zhuo Yitian. When the Iron Bull saw this, even though he was starving to death, he did so stupidly.
If Zhuo Yitian doesn't come, all the veterans of Jiangdongwei can be transferred to Haizhou, and things will end in a different way. Now that he has fallen into such a situation, Chen Mo does not blame Zhuo Yitian, he knows that this time she really wants to help. Just like before the battle with Feng Ziwu, she no longer hides the most crucial side for her.
There are some people in this world who only say but don't do, and a very small number of people who only do but don't say.
She has always belonged to the latter group.
Watching Chen Mo finish eating, sit back in the corner of the wall and look up in a daze, Zhuo Yitian's eyes quietly showed pity, and he walked over and gently helped him press the acupuncture points on his injured arm until the other party's tense body relaxed a little bit.
Before Pan Jingcheng died, he turned his attention to two people for help. One is Chen Mo and the other is Pan Dongdong. Under the shadow of death, any pride and dignity have naturally become a pale and powerless joke. At that moment, Zhuo Yitian noticed that Chen Mo and Pan Dongdong's eyes had not changed.
In terms of Zhuo Yitian's professional vision, there are undoubtedly too many doubts in Chen Mo. But the closeness between her iron-blooded kindred has made her get closer and closer to him, and she has derived the same irreversible mental journey.
In this era of the jungle, for the true survivors, warmth only exists in the exchange of each other's body temperatures, and there is nothing else worth being weak in. Zhuo Yitian knew that he was this kind of person, Chen Mo was this kind of person, even Pan Dongdong had the same blood flowing in his body.
On the fifth day, the kind little girl in the mouth of the iron bull appeared again.
When there was no distinction between friend and foe, thinking of Mo Hongmei who was taken away by Luo Li, Chen Mo stood under the bulkhead to gather his mind, but there was no longer that breath of Lian Jiazi in his senses.
After the little girl hurriedly threw down the food and water, she just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tie Niu: "Not enough to eat, I have a big belly recently!" ”
This sentence was taught by Chen Mo, but the big appetite was said by Tie Niu to have a big belly, and the girl couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
"I'll get you more next time, I've got to leave quickly, and it'll be over if someone finds out." She whispered.
As soon as she spoke, Chen Mo and Zhuo Yitian had already changed color.
"I have a big belly, they don't even give me water now, I'm hungry." The Iron Bull turned over and over without any tricks, just blindly called.
"Big man, I'll try not to get caught. If I don't come in the future, it's dead, if you can get off the boat alive, can you make a phone call for me? One of my classmates was locked up on a boat and had to find someone to rescue her. When the girl said this, her voice gradually lowered, "I don't know if Brother Chen Mo will blame me, I've really worked hard......"
When the girl said the words "Brother Chen Mo", her tone was lingering, full of tenderness.
Chen Mo was completely stunned, and the shock in his heart had reached an incomprehensible level.
All along, only one person would call him that.
