Chapter 6 Freelancing
day5
Time: 7 a.m. on June 20, 2015
Location: Near the hypermarket in X City Cinema City
Look at the time shown on the watch in hand. Today's task is to continue the search for materials, but today there is an additional goal - to find some tools. Because there are no repair tools at home.
Last night had been quiet, except for a few distant gunshots to break the silence. The number of people moving on the streets has also increased today, and I don't know what the military of the two cities is planning. Seeing some squads of three or two people passing me by on the street from time to time, my mood naturally became happy, but at the same time, it also brought trouble, urging me to speed up.
The first target location is the cinema, and the main target is the tool, and there is the cinema, so there should be a fire fighting tool.
There are not many people near the cinema, most of them are close to the supermarket, looking at the rare flow of people these days, although it is very messy, but there are faint rules in it, people always avoid people who look strong.
Walking into this dark movie theater, you are greeted by an eerie scene, a chaotic movie theater, food scattered everywhere on the floor, and even wallets left on some chairs or floors. I put on my night vision goggles and searched for tools in the bright green vision.
I searched all over this theater, but I only found two bottles of fire extinguishers at the entrance, and I only took one.
When I got out of the cinema, I found a damaged bus, rummaged through it, and with great effort, found three fire hammers, and went to another place satisfied.
It is inconvenient to carry a large backpack on your body, but it is most reasonable to do so for the sake of efficiency. The items now loaded only take up one-third of the pack's capacity.
Follow the flow of people carefully into the large supermarket that has already been visited.
Walking cautiously step by step, I saw a surprising scene. In the chaotic flow of people, a dirty hand slowly stretched out to the backpack of the person in front of him, and then a bright silver knife suddenly poked out of the palm of his hand, cutting through the bottom of the backpack, and the person carrying the backpack was unaware of it, still slowly following the team forward. Immediately after, the dirty hand turned the tip of the knife back in a wonderful way, and there was no sign that there was a knife hidden in the hand, and then the person with the backpack seemed to have been suddenly struck by someone, and the person who hit him must have been the thief, who looked very sven and wore a pair of glasses. He apologized earnestly to the man, who seemed to be surprised and ignored the man with glasses. And what he didn't know was that just before the glasses man apologized, the contents of his backpack had fallen into the glasses man's pocket.
Seeing that he ignored him, the man with glasses raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of me in the corner of his eye, I was looking at him closely at this time, and saw that he looked at me sideways, and I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled at him, he seemed to understand what I meant, and just smiled, so he turned his head back and continued to enter the supermarket.
The supermarket has three floors, the first floor is divided into two main business areas, one for food and daily necessities, and the other for luxury accessories and cosmetics. The second floor mainly sells furniture, and the third floor mainly sells electronic products and parts. Looking at the overtime business chart displayed on the stairs, I knew that the place to go was the third floor.
The elevator has stopped working, so you can only walk upstairs. Along the way, I found that there were a lot of people on the second floor, but there were incredibly few people on the third floor, and it seemed that only me and the man with glasses came to the third floor.
Passing by the sales counters, I finally arrived at the place where the parts were sold, and counted the parts in column after column.
Electronic components are not needed at this time, but most of them are electronic components here, I can't help frowning, I always feel a strange feeling behind it, looking back, I found that the man with glasses was looking at me playfully at this time, I ignored him, and continued to search, but there was a twelve-point vigilance in my heart.
It took a long time to finally collect some common parts. I felt very strange about this when I turned around and saw that the man with glasses was loading an Apple mobile phone in his pocket at this time, so I thought about it and immediately understood his intentions, so I also walked to the counter and took away a few mobile phones and a power bank that was sure to have been charged.
I walked out of the supermarket in some strange eyes, looking at this backpack half the size of my 16-year-old body, and I felt ashamed of it, but so what? I still moved my heavy footsteps, slowly walking into the distance.
That's when I realized that something was wrong. The man with glasses had been following me, he was very good at tracking, and the place where he appeared always felt very reasonable, even if you asked him, he would answer his target and walk as a matter of course, but there was one thing that made me suspicious. It's that he always exists within the range of my feelings every once in a while, so I can be sure that he must have some intention for me.
When he walked to a place about 300 meters away from his residence, he stopped, sat on a bench on the side of the road, and quietly watched the man with glasses walk into a restaurant not far away, and then walked out after seeing him, and his keen eyes caught his surprised and obscure eyes for a moment.
Just as he turned around to go to another store, I stopped, "What the hell are you trying to do?" He slowly turned around and said calmly, "I just wanted to ask why you didn't reveal my identity at that time." Then he lifted his glasses and looked at me.
"Everyone has the right to live, and if I had exposed you at the time, then I ask you, can you still stand here and talk to me now?" I looked at his young face and said seriously. His serious face didn't change when he heard this answer, but he paused for a moment, and then opened his mouth again, "Do you really think so?" When I heard this question, I immediately answered him with a very affirmative answer, "Yes, there is no falsehood. Then he asked him solemnly, "Your intentions." His serious face seemed to relax a lot, and he said lightly and sincerely: "I see that your actions do not seem to be just for you alone, so I conclude that you have a place to live. My intentions were simple, I wanted to find a safe place to survive this chaotic time. His intentions were obvious, and I stroked my chin, wondering if I should let him be like us.
I asked him, "Your name." "Nomiao." "Pre-war occupations." "Freelancing." I paused, thinking.
"Trust me, I'm not a bad guy and I don't bother to be a bad guy, but I believe my skills should help you and your team." Seeing that I was hesitant, he made additions.
Should I really trust him?
