Chapter 13: Pretending
In the furnace-like wilderness, Chen Qing stood beside the corpse of the poisonous scorpion, in good spirits.
"But don't run into a monster of this level again......" he shook his head again, quickly picking up his mind.
Killing poisonous scorpions is purely dependent on external objects, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Chen Qing does not dare to expect to encounter such a great good thing again.
What's more, relying on the explosive destructive power of the gas station to deal with monsters is too risky, once the opponent has enough intelligence, his fate is bound to be nine deaths, and it must not be easily tried.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he swept his eyes and saw a vehicle approaching in the distance, presumably attracted by the explosion at the gas station.
About thirty seconds later, the vehicle approached and stopped next to Chen Qing.
Chen Qingchao looked inside the car, and his heart suddenly shook slightly.
There were four people in the car, three young men and an old man who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
If it was just that, Chen Qing would naturally not be surprised, the problem was that there were still many firearms placed next to them.
Guns are not something that ordinary people can obtain, and these people don't seem to have a simple background!
In the driver's seat, a man in a denim jacket with dark skin and slightly gloomy eyes pulled down the window and asked, "Is there a village with a lot of people around here?" ”
"Village?" Chen Qing pretended to be at a loss and dealt cautiously, "I don't know, I'm just acting alone in the wilderness, and there are villages nearby?" Is it for evacuation? ”
Chen Qing asked a rhetorical question, to a certain extent, to increase the credibility of his answer.
At present, the order of the world is in a mess, he can't easily make an answer related to himself, not to mention that the other party is not good at what he looks at, even for him, there is a great threat, and he must be vigilant.
"Humph!"
Unable to get useful information, the driver snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Qing, and prepared to drive away.
"Wait!"
The old man with white hair in the car opened his eyes suddenly, picked up the gun and quickly got out of the car, his fingers were pressed on the trigger, and the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Chen Qing without hesitation.
Chen Qing's heart jumped, showing a panicked side, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and raised his hand to signal: "Don't shoot, I surrender!" ”
In fact, fear is not pretending, Rao has absorbed a rather astonishing level of blue beads, and he does not dare to guarantee that he can avoid bullets, and the old man is extremely experienced in using a gun, and he is by no means a novice.
Such a character must have absorbed a large number of beads, and his strength should not be underestimated.
However, he was puzzled.
Could it be that there is any flaw in his answer, otherwise why would he arouse the hostility of the old man?
"What's going on?" The other three people in the car were surprised and immediately asked aloud.
"Nothing."
The old man shook his head and explained: "I just think this kid is not simple, when he asked if it was for the village to take refuge, he didn't show surprise or other emotions, his mood was very stable, not quite right......"
I see!
Chen Qing and several people in the car were all stunned.
While pointing a gun at Chen Qing, he walked into the gas station that had fallen into ruins, looked around for a moment, and found the remains of the poisonous scorpion: "What is this?" ”
"The corpse of a monster." Chen Qingdao, "I used the explosion at the gas station to kill the monster. ”
Blow up the monster?
Hearing this, the four of them were shocked.
"Old man, can you put the gun away first?" Chen Qing smiled dryly and added, "The reason why I don't have any surprises about the refuge point is just because I can barely survive in the wilderness alone, so there is no need to be timid......"
The old man hesitated for a while, gave up dealing with Chen Qing, put away his gun and returned to the car: "Let's go, the task is still important." ”
The other party still looked very young, and he also felt that he was a little too nervous.
"Hmm."
The driver bowed his head and drove to leave.
Looking at the sand and dust kicked up by the vehicle and gradually moving away, Chen Qing's eyes narrowed: "He is really an observant old man." ”
Looking around at the empty surroundings, Chen Qing sighed.
The vehicle was damaged and he needed to find another one.
……
The sun was high and the wilderness was steaming, like a furnace, enough to dry a person.
Dead silence and withered yellow filled Chen Qing's vision, but he did not panic, and calmly walked on the road, looking for vehicles.
If you are a normal person, you are afraid that you will fall into despair, after all, your body will soon be short of water under the high temperature, but Chen Qing is different, absorbing the blue beads, his physical fitness has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the high temperature will not help him in a short time.
One minute...... Two minutes......
Time passed little by little.
As he went, his expression began to change, from calm to anxious, anxious to angry, and finally he pretended to be weak, and his steps were unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment.
Yes, he's pretending.
The departure of the few people was a little too simple, and he needed to deal with it more carefully.
Two hours passed, Chen Qing raised his head and said hoarsely: "God, please give me a car!" ”
He seemed to be desperate, complaining.
After saying that, he ran frantically for a while, trying to find a vehicle.
However, good fortune did not always favor him, and soon he reached his limit and fell to the ground.
Just as he was "dying", a car appeared from behind and drove towards him.
In that car, there were four people in it.
Really!
Chen Qing's thoughts in his heart were confirmed, and he lay on the ground and said softly: "What a treacherous old fox!" ”
Obviously, those people didn't believe him, but just wanted to use him to find the specific location of the village, so they would easily leave after the confrontation with guns.
It's a pity that since he felt threatened, he was always vigilant and would not be easily caught.
The car stopped next to Chen Qing, and the person in the passenger seat got out of the car with a bottle of water, successfully rescued Chen Qing, who was almost in shock due to lack of water, and helped him up and threw him into the passenger seat, while he sat in the back.
For a long time, Chen Qing felt that acting couldn't be too much, so he slowly came back to his senses, looked at a few people in the car, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”
His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Don't thank us, it's your luck that you ran into us again." The driver laughed.
"You really don't know where the village is?" The old man asked, "This is very important to us, and I hope you will answer truthfully." ”
He tried to ask for something in return in the way of a benefactor.
"This ......"
Chen Qing frowned and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember, in the southern location, I met people who acted in groups like you, they were in trucks, and there were more than a dozen people in them, could it be related to the village in your mouth?" ”
Of course, he didn't say where the village was, because that would show that he was lying, and that he would lose his usefulness, and there was no guarantee that these people would not try to kill people.
As for the so-called southern position, he is just talking nonsense.
Getting useful information, several people looked at each other, and finally the old man said, "It should be right!" ”
The vehicle immediately changed direction and headed south.
"Are you going to evacuate?" Chen Qing asked, asking at this moment is quite natural and will not arouse suspicion.
"It's not."
The driver shook his head: "We're going to kill someone." ”
"Who?" Chen Qing chose to "think without brains" and asked questions directly.
"Chen Qing!"
