Chapter 1 Buying Lives

Next Chapter

2060, January 12.

Downtown Changkong City, Aobo Casino.

Five "Huaxia Vine Tigers", which represent status, wealth, and status, are parked straight in front of the door of the casino, like the most loyal guards of the casino.

With a click, the crystal door of the casino was pushed open by the two men in black guarding the left and right.

Then, a man in his forties or fifties, dressed in a black coat, walked out of the casino.

In this era when the average annual life expectancy is more than 100 years old, it can be said that forty or fifty years are in the prime of life, and it is the best time for men to display their ambitions.

But somehow, this man not only has a slightly bald head, but even the deep facial features of the knife and axe clearly contain a tiredness that cannot be concealed.

After walking from the gloomy casino to the bright street, the bald man raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in the air, exuding brilliant light and shining on all things, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a vitality." ”

"Hope......... So can I. ”

As soon as the words fell, the bald man's cloudy eyes suddenly bloomed with a strong look of anticipation.

"Let's go, it's time to hit the road." With that, the bald man strode forward and walked in the direction of the third "Huaxia Vine Tiger" facing the gate of the casino.

At the same time, a man in black came out of the driver's seat of the third "Huaxia Tenghu".

The man in black was as agile as a monkey, trotted all the way to the edge of the back seat, bowed slightly, and respectfully opened the back seat door for the bald man.

"Good work."

The bald man walked over, spat out two words vaguely at the man in black, and immediately got into the carriage.

At this time, a handsome man in a suit came out of the Aobo Casino, this person's facial features were somewhat similar to the previous bald man, but he was far younger than the bald man, only about twenty-five or six years old.

The young man stretched his waist, looked through the car window at the haggard side face of the bald man, and suddenly grinned a grim smile, "It's coming, it's almost ........."

With that, the smile quickly faded, and the young man took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and also walked briskly towards the open car door.

After both of them got into the car, the man in black closed the door and returned to the driver's seat.

A moment later, the five "Huaxia Vine Tigers" trembled almost simultaneously.

Buzz –

The front of the car twisted, and the five cars shook their heads like dragons, and entered the lane before and after.

The first, second, fourth, and fifth "Huaxia Tenghu" were full of tacit understanding, and after driving, they immediately formed a diamond shape, surrounded the third "Huaxia Tenghu", and walked with it at the same speed, whistling away in the direction of the suburbs of Changkong City.

"Dad, where are we going now?"

The young man leaned back on the soft saddle, closed his eyes, and asked, "You are not in good health, should you stay at home and rest, what are you doing running out all day?" I take care of the business outside, you, you can rest assured! ”

The bald man didn't say a word, didn't seem to hear the young man's voice, only suddenly arched himself and slowly lit a cigar.

As soon as the right hand is raised, the cigar will be brought to the mouth.

However, at this moment, the man gestured, as if thinking of something very unpleasant, pressed the cigar that had been lit into the ashtray that had been lit, and crushed it back and forth.

The cigarette butt was annihilated, and wisps of smoke were emitted, turning into a fog that blocked the gaze.

When the clouds filled the clouds, this luxurious convoy had passed through the most lively streets in Changkong City and came to the 'Feilu Bridge' with the most traffic in Changkong City.

The bridge spans a city, and when the convoy reaches the end of the bridge, it has already left Changkong City and came to the suburbs.

At this time, the young man who was recuperating with his eyes closed opened a slit slightly, glanced at the scenery of the suburbs through the car window, and muttered in his heart, "This old fellow...... Why did you suddenly run here today? ”

"Huh!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to do something nasty again. That's it, he's only got a few years left to live anyway, so I'll play with him. ”

"It's time to do your filial piety."

Just as the young man was thinking, the bald man, who had been silent all the way, suddenly coughed a few times, breaking the deathly silence in the carriage.

"Tiger."

The bald man frowned, put his head up, glanced at the man in black who was driving, and asked, "Route......... Do you remember everything? Don't get lost later. ”

"Boss, don't worry." Hearing this, the man in black, known as the 'Tiger', immediately nodded in response: "A few days ago, I had already come to explore the road with my brothers, and I would definitely not go wrong." ”

"Boss, you're not in good health, so you might as well sleep for a while. When you wake up, you should be there. ”

Hearing the tiger say this, the bald man raised his eyebrows and smiled knowingly: "You do something, I don't worry!" After that, the smile froze, and the bald man shook his head and muttered, "It's just, now I ......... I'm not in the mood to sleep. ”

The aftermath dissipated, and the bald man fell silent again, looking out the window.

The roads in the suburbs are rough and bumpy, and in this slight shock, the scenery that catches the eyes of the balding man changes and sometimes reveals some unique scenery that has never been seen before.

These scenes, which I am said to have been transformed by a certain plan that the government decided to implement, have a unique beauty.

However, at this moment, the bald man has no heart to appreciate.

After about half an hour, the convoy went through nine twists and eighteen bends, and finally entered a remote deep mountain where there was no GPS record.

However, the bald man looked at the scene flashing outside the window, and couldn't help but think of a set of photos that a friend showed him a few days ago, and his heart began to beat.

"It's almost there, it's finally here." The bald man muttered in a low voice with sweaty palms.

As he expected, it wasn't long before the convoy finally arrived at its destination, stopping in front of a three-storey dilapidated inn called the 'Holiday Hotel' halfway up the mountainside.

In the deep green of the mountains, the inn looks out of place with its surroundings, as if it were a color that shouldn't be there.

Strangely, when the bald man got out of the carriage and looked at the dilapidated hotel, he was as enthusiastic as he usually walked into the exhibition of precious paintings and carefully examined the works of famous artists.

The young man followed closely, and when he saw the bald man showing such a posture, he immediately frowned, and his face showed a strange look, "Dad, what kind of place is this?" ”

"Let's go......... Go in and you'll know. ”

The bald man didn't want to explain more, only spit out a sentence lightly, and walked briskly towards the deep mountain inn, "Luzon and I can just go in, you can stay here." ”

Looking at the bald man who had already traveled farther and farther away, the young man 'Luzon' pondered for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "This old guy is really unpredictable." It's just ........."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zon had already taken a step and followed behind the bald man not far away, "Today I want to see, what the hell are you going to do?" ”

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they came to the door of the hotel one after the other.

The bald man took a deep breath, stretched out his trembling hands and pushed open the door of the hotel, and walked into the hotel with Luzon.

The hotel is not bullied, it can be said that the inside and outside are the same, and the inside is as tattered as the outside.

As soon as the two walked in, smoke and dust rushed to their faces.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly, quickly held their breath and covered their noses, and fanned the wind with their hands, so that they "escaped".

Leave that aside.

In this mountain inn, except for a dark corridor leading upstairs, there is only a faded dusty sofa, a tattered wooden cabinet, and an oldest desktop computer on the counter.

This kind of computer, in the 60 years when technology has become increasingly advanced and three-dimensional communication has been regarded as an antique.

I didn't expect to see it in this hotel, and ......... There are still people using it.

The clerk who was staring at the desktop computer screen with his eyes on the screen and laughing non-stop was obviously stunned the moment the door was pushed open.

After seeing the comer, the clerk's little brother rolled his eyes, unfolded a signature smile, and asked, "Welcome, do you want to stay?" Do you want a single room, a double room, or a ......... What about parent-child rooms? ”

After that, without waiting for the two to agree, the clerk's eyes had moved back to the computer screen, and he had no intention of greeting the two.

Seeing this, the bald man grinned, walked to the counter alone, looked at the clerk who was operating the computer and having fun, and said word by word: "I'm not here to stay." ”

"Not here to stay?"

The clerk didn't raise his head, and asked flatly, "Then you two, what are you doing here?" ”

The bald man took a deep breath, "I heard that you can buy your life here......... I'm here to buy my life. ”

"It turned out to be introduced by an old customer, no wonder, no wonder." Hearing this, the clerk showed a look of sudden realization and nodded.

But in the next moment, the clerk's facial features suddenly twisted together, as if he had encountered something embarrassing, "However, life is very expensive." It's not like you can buy it if you say it's bought. ”

"Lu Ba......... Do you give it? The clerk finally raised his head and asked seriously.

"Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"

The bald man 'Lu Ba' hadn't answered yet, and Lu Zon, who was in the rear, seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and while laughing, he walked to Lu Ba's side, "This man standing in front of you is one of the three overlords of the underground world of Changkong City!" ”

"Will such a man be a master who is short of money?" After that, Lu Zon's smile did not decrease, and he spread his hands towards Lu Ba and said, "Dad, you have come to this kind of poor country from afar, whose life do you want to buy?" I really can't figure it out, we have so many masters under our command, and every one of them is loyal, why do we have to come here and find some unknown people to help? ”

Hearing this, the hotel clerk just smiled, then lowered his head again, looked intently at the computer screen, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Ba frowned and drank: "Shut up!" ”

"Dad?" Lu Zon was stunned, he didn't know why Lu Ba was suddenly angry, and after being stunned for a while, he was about to say something more.

Unexpectedly, the words were still in his throat, and Lu Ba turned his head sharply and stared at him fiercely.

His eyes are like a wolf and a tiger, and a knife is like a sword.

Suddenly, Lu Zon's heart chuckled, and he quickly bit his lower lip, not daring to say anything more.

"The child is naughty, which makes the little brother laugh."

After stopping Lu Zon, Lu Ba looked back and smiled awkwardly at the clerk, "I naturally know that 'life' is very expensive." Therefore, I am also full of sincerity when I come here. Believe...... Able to give satisfactory remuneration. ”

"Really?" The clerk's face remained unchanged, and he replied without being salty.

The clerk's brother was expressionless, even if Lu Ba was one of the three tyrants of the underground world, he had been in the sky for many years, and he couldn't pass through the flesh and blood and guess the real thoughts in the clerk's heart.

So, after a sigh, Lu Ba could only try to ask: "Use half of all the assets in my name to exchange for my life." I don't know, is this reward enough? ”

"Dad? You ........."

At first glance, Lu Zon was stunned on the spot, and then, his face changed greatly, and he asked dryly, "What did you just say?" Ha ha! Aren't you old and confused? ”

However, the bald man Lu Ba ignored Lu Zhan, and as always, he took everything Lu Zhan said as the wind in his ears, only put his hand on the counter, and looked at the clerk intently, like looking at the god who created everything in the world.

Unexpectedly, after the clerk heard Lu Ba's reward, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Then, the clerk shook his head, looked at Lu Ba, and said with a serious face: "You, are we beggars?" ”
