2024 What if not

Thundered.

I don't know which cloud hit which cloud in the sky, and a dull and melodious thunder came one after another.

On a deserted and rugged road, a convoy drove past the edge of the plain with yellow sand.

In the leading armed off-road vehicle, Jin's face was gloomy, looking at the gray sky, and he cursed in a low voice: "It's almost winter and it's thundering, this ghost weather," and pulled the window alloy baffle.

The cars of the team are not unified, like the feeling of using what is easy to use, but in today's world, being able to make up such a team can already be called rich, considering the different performance of different models, the overall speed is not fast, and the tail of the team is an armored car with steel armor on all sides.

A stout black man wearing only an elastic vest retracted his head from the window of the armored car, reached into his carry-on backpack and pulled out a flat silver jug and flicked the lid open with one hand, and a strong smell of alcohol burst out and instantly filled the compartment.

"There are more and more mutant beasts, our convoy is too conspicuous, and with this speed of turtle climbing, we can't get rid of those sore monsters at all." The black man picked up the flask with his rough palm, and the small silver flat jug was like a small toy in his hand, and only one spout was exposed when held by the big hand.

He leaned over the tip of his nose and sniffed carefully, then stuffed the spout of the pot into his thick lips, raised his neck and poured it for two or three seconds, and then let out a long sigh with a comfortable expression, looked at the silent companion in the passenger seat beside him, and said as if to himself: "I don't know what the boss is doing with so many people this time." ”

"Don't deliberately trick me." The calm companion is a white man with meticulous hairspray combed and narrow-brimmed gold wire glasses, when he speaks, he is slowly fiddling with a long cigar in his hand, his movements are very slow and careful, the cigar he is pinching seems to be a delicate work of art, carefully cut off the eggplant cap and put it in his mouth to measure the smoke resistance, and only after being satisfied did he open the car window and take out a metal rod from his body, at this time, if Li He is there, you can see that this metal rod is when he and Jos went into the cave to hide from the rain, The kind of small stick that is used as a bonfire with a sense of science and technology on the body.

Rotate the bottom switch of the metal rod, there is a light, and then fold it in half to open, a soft orange flame rises at the fold, adjust the size of the flame, bring the softer flame closer to the cigar and gently roast the eggplant, the fingers steadily rotate the cigar to spread the heat evenly, feel the appropriate dryness through the fingertips before slowly lighting the eggplant, but not like lighting a cigarette directly all the mouths, just roasting the tobacco leaves near the eggplant mouth, and waiting for the outer circle of the wrapper to burn the ashes and blow lightly on the eggplant mouth, The after-temperature is soaked in until the mouth burns evenly, and the cigar is pinched at the band and gently shakes the wrist to reduce the overall temperature of the body.

It was evident that this was a veteran cigar player, who was strict enough to be almost harsh on the taste, and the complicated steps did not make him impatient in the slightest, and the eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed glasses were focused, and these trivialities were more like a special pleasure for him, and after everything was done to the satisfaction level, he finally stuffed the cigar into his mouth, and took a puff of fruity aroma, and his face that had been calm showed a little pleasure.

During the whole process, the black man in the driver's seat kept driving the car intently, as if he had long been used to it, and he didn't rush, just patiently waited for the following.

After carefully tasting the multiple tastes unique to this elongated cigar, the gold wire glasses smacked his lips, and there was still a trace of aftertaste in his nasal cavity, and he turned to the black man and said: "I don't know how much, I only know that the boss seemed to want to mention someone in the West 1st District before, but he was kicked out, and we may not be robbed hard to bring it this time." ”

The black man's hand holding the steering wheel shook slightly, and he smiled hesitantly: "West 1st District... Glory City, known as the No. 1 Pan-Western Force, is really a tough battle! Didn't you hear that the boss liked the daughter of the city lord? Wouldn't this trip be just to rob that woman? ”

"If you don't drink while driving, how many times have you said that you can't break this bad habit?" The gold-rimmed glasses rested their arms on the edge of the car window, looking at the yellow sand flying in the sky outside, and the faintly swarms of mutant beasts in the distance, but did not answer.

Seeing that his companion changed the topic, the black man didn't care, he smiled and said to himself: "That's right, it doesn't matter who it robs, people like us, the boss says to rob whoever he wants, he will rob whom!" ”

It is often said that humans do not hurt tigers, but tigers are harmful, but in fact, animals rarely take the initiative to attack humans unless they feel threatened or hungry, but humans, on the contrary, often harm other creatures but not just to fill their stomachs.

The convoy drove out of the West 2nd District, crossed a barren plain, and drilled into the passage of Glory City in the West 1st District.

Along the way, none of the mutant beasts actively attacked the convoy, perhaps the heavy vehicle-mounted machine gun on the armored vehicle provided enough deterrence, who knows.

At this time, in front of the central castle of the "Glory City", the gathering place of the first district in the west, a group of people stood silently.

"I didn't expect that Jin Fugui said to be true! There will really be a burst of energy after he dies! This is really terrible" The black suit was full of fear, and said with palpitations: "The city lord is wise, if you didn't let your subordinates arrange for the people in the castle to leave in advance, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

At that moment, there seemed to be a whole star erupting in the castle, and the dazzling white light flew out from every gap in the wall, everyone thought they were far enough away, but they were forced back to a farther position by the rolling heat wave, and when the heat gradually dispersed and the temperature dropped, they cautiously approached, but found that the stone wall was mottled and cracked, all the wood products skipped the burning stage and directly carbonized, and the few doors and windows were soft into a puddle of irregular mud, a magnificent castle, All that was left was a black and gray mixture, a dilapidated scene.

Nicholas Tay's cheeks agitated, looking at the broken bricks and tiles in front of him with a grim face, and his heart was depressed as he calculated the cost of rebuilding the castle, only to feel a pain in his flesh.

When Jin led the people here, he saw a group of people looking at the charred castle in a daze, he was also stunned, he often wandered around the West 1st District on weekdays, and knew a lot of acquaintances, and he had already heard the news on the way when he came, and knew that the Oriental man had fallen out with the city lord of Nicholas and was facing each other in the castle.

As a result, when I came here, I saw such a scene, and I secretly wondered if it was too late.

Regardless of the eyes of others, Jin led the people and rushed to the castle.

Seeing this, the black suit shouted: "What are you going to do!" Exploded inside! ”

Jin Tou didn't reply and dropped a sentence: "If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die." ”

Before the black suit wanted to say something more, Nicholas Tay waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

What is the situation inside, Nicholas Tai also wants to know, but looking at the power of the explosion just now, his own people are not at ease to go in and take risks, and there is a stunned young man to explore for himself, and he can't ask for it.

The temperature in the castle was still very high, and the closer you got to the hall, the hotter it became, and the surrounding stone walls continued to pour out bursts of heat, making Kim's forehead covered with sweat.

A few people went straight all the way to the hall, the lights in the hall have all been extinguished, but the glass of several windows in the high place has all melted, and some light has fallen into it so that it is not completely dark, after entering the hall, Jin saw the oriental man with white flowers lying on the ground at a glance, and there was a black coke-like "thing" on the side.

Before using the thunderstorm, Li He himself didn't know what would happen, the first time he ate a crab and crossed the river by feeling the stones, he was completely dependent on Meng, at first he saw Jos twisting himself so close and was a little worried that the so-called "electric punishment" of the thunderstorm would be electrocuted by Jos and himself, and then the thunderstorm was released, only to find that it was originally centered on himself and radiated thousands of bright lightning bolts around, and all other items except his body were blown away from him.

The moment the light erupted, Jos was directly bounced away, blown into the air and entangled by thousands of electric snakes, and he didn't even have time to snort, and before he landed, it became a charcoal-like object that could not be seen in the shape of a human, that is, the black "thing" that Jin saw.

"Hey! How are you? Still alive? Kim crouched down, frowning.

At this time, Li He's consciousness was still quite sober, but the pain all over his body was terrible, there were old injuries and new injuries, what was even more difficult for him to accept was that there was no clothes left on his body from the inside out, and they turned into ashes in the thunderstorm, although the electric punishment of the thunderstorm would not hurt him, but the sequelae caused a lot of damage, in addition to stripping him naked and bare, there was also the residual high temperature in the surrounding environment, which caused his skin to be red and his body was scary.

Seeing that this oriental man was still angry, Jin asked his subordinates to take a coat and put it on him, and in the process of touching the injury, Li He grinned in a cold sweat, and his subordinates studied it carefully and reported to Jin: "Boss, his right hand is broken." ”

Jin leaned over to take a look, frowned and said, "How did it look like this, this kind of injury first aid kit is useless, let's go back first." ”

In the end, he just put on a pair of loose pants and didn't wear a shirt, so the strong black man next to him carried Li He on his back, and a group of people walked out of the castle.

The people who were waiting outside the castle to see that Jin really carried someone out, and they all showed surprised looks.

Nicholas Tylen snorted, and the black suit immediately exited: "Stop!" ”

Kim didn't even look at him, and led the people out.

The size of this black suit is a general manager, and it can be said that it is above 10,000 people under one person in Glory City, but others are afraid of him, and Young Master Jin in the West Second District is not afraid of him, the black suit thought that the other party would take care of himself in the face of his own city lord, but people directly ignored it, and he felt very aggrieved in his heart when he lost face in this place with many people, and turned his head to look at the city lord.

"Where do you want to go?" Nicholas Tay saw that talking with dog legs didn't work, so he had to open his mouth with a black face.

"There is still something at home, so I won't bother the city lord today." Kim replied lightly.

"You can go back." Nicholas Tay pointed to the man on the black man's back and said, "He stays." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the scene suddenly became solemn.

The people present were all the closest confidants of the city lord, and everyone knew that this young master Jin of the West Second District had actually expressed his intention to take away the Oriental the day before, but at that time, he was directly driven out by the city lord.

Both sides are people with status, it stands to reason that there are some things that do not need to be explained, one party shows its attitude, and the other party should understand, whether it is smooth or table-lifting, everyone can understand.

The day before, the city lord drove people away, that is, he brightened his attitude, and Young Master Jin pinched his nose and walked smoothly.

So today, Young Master Jin came to the door again, and with so many subordinates, it was clear that the carriage and horses were determined to take people away, which also brightened his attitude, and it stands to reason that it should be the turn of the city lord to go smoothly.

After all, everyone thinks that the two sides usually get along well, just looking at Jin can take so many people to enter and exit freely in the West 1st District, you can understand that this Young Master Jin in the West 2nd District may still be the golden turtle son-in-law in the West 1st District in the future! At least not to the point of flipping the table, right?

Everyone did think so before, so the mood was relatively relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the city lord directly flipped the table!

One sentence directly blocks all the room for maneuver, making it clear that even if you show your attitude, I won't pay attention to it, if you want to go by yourself, you want to take people away? No way!

Kington was in place, feeling the gaze from Nicholas Tay, as heavy as usual, he admitted that he did like Nicole, and everyone with enough status in the West District knew that Nicole's father, the famous city lord of Glory City in front of him, had never made a clear statement, did not approve or refuse, every time he approached Nicole for various reasons, Nicholas Tay just watched silently, with a heavy pressure all over his body, which made his neck hurt, and he couldn't help but shrink his head.

It's the same today, being stared at by Nicholas Tai's gaze, echoing in his ears the words that the other party just said, and the heavy pressure like a mountain pressed over, Jin felt that his neck began to hurt again, and couldn't help but habitually shrink his head, and said:

"What if not?"
