Second, the canary in the cage

"What? Didn't you please? ”

"Sorry, only the first drink is free......"

It's not the first time a bearded man has done this kind of thing, but it's the first time I've seen someone like Rayson with an unchanged face. There was no emotional fluctuation on that sloppy face.

The bearded man's voice was fierce: "I advise you, don't try to do stupid things, and hand over everything on your body." It's not a gun, but it's more than enough to kill you. ”

Zoe hesitated for a while, as if she had made a huge determination: "Dad...... This month has already been harvested...... There is enough corn in the field...... This person doesn't seem to be carrying anything, or he should have let it go......"

"Zoe!" The bearded man snorted coldly: "I've said it many times!" Don't bother me with work! It's for everyone! For the whole town! ”

Zoe was scolded and had to step aside and shut her mouth, casting an apologetic look at Rayson.

Lei Sen stretched his waist: "You guys are quite skilled in business, isn't it the first time?" ”

The bearded man sneered: "If you have a bad amount of alcohol, we can all have less trouble." ”

Seeing that Rayson didn't seem to be obedient, the drinkers smirked and surrounded Rayson.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out outside.

Everyone in the tavern instantly became nervous. After a while, the tavern door was slammed open, and a short and fat young man fell in: "Mayor! It's a big deal! ”

"What's the flustered about?" The bearded man rushed out of the bar and lifted the fat man off the ground, with a face full of hatred: "What can't you say calmly?" How are you going to be mayor in the future? How can I trust Zoe to you? ”

The fat man glanced at Zoe next to him, and his face suddenly showed a look of courtesy, completely unaware of the disgust in Zoe's eyes.

But soon, the fat man regained his panic just now: "Mayor Town! Oh no! There were two trucks coming at us outside! It's full of people, it seems that they are all carrying guns, and the people who come are not good! ”

"What?" The bearded man was startled, and subconsciously looked at Rayson again: "Your people? ”

Rayson's face was full of innocence: "If it's my people, why should I come in by myself?" ”

The bearded man didn't look like Rayson was lying, but he couldn't shake off the doubt in his heart, and was silent for a while, and stuffed the crossbow arrow in his hand into the fat man's hand: "You and Zoe look at him, if there is any accident, don't hesitate, kill him, you take Zoe and leave from the back of town!" ”

"Others, take the guys and come with me!" The bearded man was still very prestigious, and with a shout, everyone in the tavern rushed out.

In the tavern, only the three Raysen were left. The fat man held a crossbow bolt at Rayson with a wary face. Rayson was very calm, glanced at Zoe with a complicated face, sat down in front of the bar again, took the bottle of wine and poured himself a drink.

It was unusually noisy outside, but inside the tavern there was a quiet pin drop.

Zoe stared at the crossbow arrow in the fat man's hand, and after a while, he took the initiative to talk: "Listen to Dad...... You made this arrow for everyone? ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, his face was flattered, and he nodded a little proudly: "That's right! It's all done by me, and when I fight ghouls, it's all a second. ”

After speaking, the fat man lowered his voice again and said, "Zoe...... You must put away the radio I made, it doesn't matter if you listen to the radio or something, don't use it indiscriminately, let alone dial it out. If the mayor finds out, he'll scold me! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Zoe smiled, her eyes still staring at the crossbow arrow: "Can you show me this thing?" Daddy never touched me, and I haven't used it yet. ”

"This ......" the fat man hesitated for a while: "This thing is very dangerous, what if it hurts you?" And...... Mayor Mare's got me to keep an eye on him. ”

As he spoke, the fat man glanced at Rayson again. But Rayson didn't seem to care at all what they were doing, pouring himself a drink and not moving.

"Just let me see, I'll be careful, I'll give it back to you after a look." Zoe's face was full of sincerity, and her voice became soft.

"That'...... Well......"

The fat man hesitated for a moment, but still handed the crossbow arrow. Zoe took it and looked at it carefully: "Hmm...... You're pretty good, no wonder Dad likes you so much......"

The fat man scratched his head embarrassedly, but in the next second, Zoe's voice suddenly turned cold: "But I hate you!" Very nasty! ”

Zoe suddenly turned around and aimed at the fat man's chest, and without hesitation, shot an arrow.

"Uh......"

The fat man clutched his chest pierced by arrows, and slowly knelt down in front of Zoe, his eyes full of unbelievable mixed emotions.

Rayson was also briefly stunned by this change. Zoe was indifferent at the moment, and quickly filled with another arrow aimed at Rayson.

Slightly stunned, Rayson then smiled: "Interesting......"

At this time, the bearded man was still organizing defenses outside and did not know anything about the situation inside the tavern.

Townsfolk standing guard on rooftops wave flags to signal early warnings. The bearded man is directing the townspeople to block the entrance to the town with a thorny fence: "Block the entrance!" Don't let them in! Damn it! Isn't it a radiation zone outside? How did these people find their way to drive in? ”

When the figure of the truck in the distance gradually became clear, and he saw the huge road shovel at the front of the car, the bearded man suddenly secretly said that something was wrong.

The truck rushed into the town at a very fast speed, and because of the presence of the road shovel, the fence was instantly overturned by the truck, and several townspeople who were pushing the fence went up into the sky together. knocked down and crushed several people in a row before stopping.

Two cars descended in two dozen people, wearing vests made of iron and leather, and holding earthen guns. Although the vests and guns were of all shapes and shapes, the gang had one distinct common characteristic.

On his right arm, a strip of red cloth was tied, which was as red as blood.

The offender got out of the car and immediately shot the townspeople who had been hit by the truck. Several townsfolk got up and tried to flee, but they didn't get far before they were shot in the back by the attackers.

"Haha! Run fast! It just so happens that Lao Tzu is practicing guns! ”

"Oh ~ Whew! Enjoyable! ”

The inquisitive's hunting eyes were on the townspeople. The bearded man was furious, picked up a crossbow arrow and attacked the incoming offender: "Don't panic, everyone! Disperse the defense! Get them out of town! ”

The townsfolk who reacted quickly scattered in all directions to find cover, and crossbow arrows were fired at the intruders, and from time to time a few incendiary flasks smashed into them.

The attacker slowed down, but only for a moment. It was difficult for the wooden arrows to penetrate the iron and leather protection of the inmates, and none of the incendiary flasks were thrown in the right place, and they burned on the ground for a while, and soon only puffs of black smoke remained.

The guns were once again powerful, and compared to the townspeople's crossbow arrows, the difference in firepower between the two sides was like that of an alien against a primitive. The townspeople's defenses were quickly torn apart. The bearded man watched the townsfolk fall one by one, and shouted to the two behind him: "Go and push out the automatic turret!" Hurriedly! ”

The two townsfolk who received the order ran into an alley, and soon a manpower three-wheeled vehicle was pushed out, and an automatic gun emplacement in the shape of a garbage can was placed on it.

The tricycle struggled forward under heavy fire, and one of the townsfolk pushing the cart was shot through the head by a stray bullet and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. The bearded man rushed up and operated on the dense buttons on the back of the turret, but he did not see the slightest reaction from the turret.

"Made! Move to Lao Tzu! The bearded man was so angry that he slapped the head of the fort.

Knock, knock.

No, the battery really moved, twisted its head in the lower semicircle, and the two protruding barrels spat out tongues of fire at the incoming offender.

The front row of intruders was knocked down, and the others rushed to dodge, but the automatic turret had cameras that tracked the direction of the enemy's movement. The tide turned in an instant, and more and more of the intruders fell under the huge fire of the battery.

The bearded man seemed to see the dawn of victory: "Good! Push it forward! Knock them out! ”

At this moment, a man got out of the truck, his muscles stretched, and his strange tattoos covered his bare skin, all the way to his hairless head.

Seeing his companion who was dodging the fire of the battery, the tattooed man actually kicked over.

"Useless guy! I don't care about you! ”

The unlucky guy was kicked by the tattooed man, and he flew more than ten meters away, hit a low wall, and immediately lost his breath.

The tattooed man wears a mechanical exoskeleton, and the inhuman power is brought by the exoskeleton. The exoskeleton wears a green monocle and a single earphone. The tattooed man glanced at the automatic turret from a distance, and the AI of the exoskeleton gave analysis feedback in the headset.

"The analysis is complete, the unknown model of the automatic turret, the danger index, the second level of the brave. It is proposed to circumvent frontal fire and carry out long-range strikes with pulse cannons......"

"Suggest a fart!" The tattooed man sneered disdainfully, and moved his muscles: "Lao Tzu is now a third-level angry general, if you can't even handle these pariahs, I might as well sell you as scrap metal." ”

The tattooed man kicked on the butt of the truck again, the exoskeleton sensed at the same time, and the mechanical transmission of both legs output power at the same time. With a loud bang, the tonnage-class truck was kicked and rushed forward quickly, meeting the fire output of the battery head-on.

The tattooed man leaps into the air, a gun sticking out of the right shoulder of the exoskeleton, and a red laser shot out of the monocle, aiming at the tricycle with the gun emplacement.

The bearded man was still staring at the approaching truck, and he didn't see a figure in the air. By the time he noticed that the tricycle was being targeted by a red laser, a huge fireball had already slammed down on his face.

"Get out of the way!"

The fort and the tricycle exploded instantly, and the bearded man screamed and knocked the townsfolk away from the cart, only to be blown away and landed in a pile of rubble, half buried by the poured rubble.

The tattooed man landed from the sky like a god, raising a burst of flying ash and a proud face.

Without a fort, the townsfolk were no match for the invaders. Invaders with red ribbons rushed into the town and slaughtered the townspeople with only crossbow arrows and cold weapons, gunfire and screams.

The townsfolk who were pushed away by the beard came back to their senses, and when they saw such a tragic situation, their eyes instantly turned red, and they picked up their axes and rushed at the tattooed man: "I'll kill you!" ”

"Heh, I can't help myself."

The tattooed man sneered, waiting for the townsfolk to rush in front of him before throwing a punch. The fist wrapped in the exoskeleton pierced the townman's body directly. Blood was flowing with internal organs.

Shaking off the corpse of the townsman, the tattooed man licked the blood on his hand and spit it it out: "Sure enough, it's an inferior person, even the blood is stinky." ”

Listening to the sound of gunfire and screams, the bearded man who fell in the rubble was already in despair, and for these comers, the slaughter seemed like a game. He didn't expect to hold the town anymore, he just wanted the fat man to escape safely with Zoe.

But at this moment, there was a person in the distance who he least wanted to see. With a crossbow bolt in her hand and Rayson in her hand, Zoe was heading towards the killing fields.

"Zoe! Fast! Run! Stay back! ”

The bearded man shouted as hard as he could, but Zoe ignored him and walked up to the introducer. Rayson was still holding a wine bottle and pouring it into his mouth from time to time, and he was held against his back by Zoe with a crossbow arrow, and his steps were vain, like an irrational drunk.

"Boss! Look! There are women! ”

"Looks good, we can open meat today!"

When the offenders saw Zoe, their eyes were full of greed, and several of them were eager to try and seemed ready to rush at any moment.

The tattooed man didn't say anything, staring at Zoe thoughtfully. The next second, Zoe took out a headphone from under the collar on her chest and hung it up, the headset was connected to a circuit board and tucked into her chest.

"Call Mountain Eagle, I'm Canary, get a reply."

The tattooed man showed a playful smile and pressed his headphones: "Mountain Eagle received, Canary, thank you for providing the route and giving us another piece of territory." ”

Everyone was shocked, and the offender knew that Zoe was his own.

The bearded face was full of disbelief: "Yes, you provoked them?" Why? ”

Only then did Zoe look at the bearded man, and her voice did not have a trace of warmth: "Dad...... I've said it many times! I don't want to! Don't want to marry him! Don't want to marry that ugly fat man! I don't want to stay in this place for the rest of my life! Today's situation, you forced me! ”

"I ...... I just want to protect you...... Protect the town......" The bearded man once again showed a desperate look, just now, it was because the townspeople were slaughtered, but this time, it was the culprit who discovered everything...... It's his daughter Zoe, and at the same time himself.

"All the Ann Equinox! This woman is mine! The tattooed man shouted, and the offenders could only withdraw their greedy gaze from Zoe, replaced by envy and vague unwillingness for the tattooed man.

At this time, the tattooed man finally noticed Rayson: "Who is he?" ”

"I don't know, I'm here today." The crossbow arrow in Zoe's hand was still aimed at Rayson: "I said it was from Lingdu, I was worried that it was your people, so I didn't kill it, and brought it out for you to see." ”

Rayson glanced at the corpses of the townspeople at his feet, and spoke with a little drunkenness: "I'm sorry, I'm just a passerby, didn't bother you to make a fortune, right?" ”

"The spirits are here?" The tattooed man narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard...... The Boulder Gang has been in a bit of trouble lately? ”

Rayson's face fluttered, and he turned a deaf ear: "The Boulder Gang? Haven't heard of ......."

An inquisitor stepped forward, looked Rayson up and down, and also noticed the long cloth bag behind him: "What did you bring?" ”

"Hiccup~" Rayson burped: "Mallet, for self-defense." ”

A gust of wind blew, and a corner of the cloth bag was blown open, revealing a piece of iron rod wrapped in cloth, which did indeed look like a mallet.

The tattooed man was a little disappointed. He also heard the rumor that the Boulder Gang was slaughtered by an unknown visitor alone, and thought that Rayson was the remnant of the Boulder Gang's escape, and he wanted to get some news from him to make a reference for whether he wanted to occupy the Lingdu.

Now it seems that this guy is a useless bum.

"This kid isn't a fool, is he?"

The inquisitor looked at Rayson with a stupid look, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the breast pocket of Rayson's coat.

Without looking at Rayson, the man took it easily, and it was the picture that the bearded man had seen.

Rayson's gaze turned cold in an instant. The offender looked at the woman in the photo and subconsciously blurted out: "This, isn't this woman just ......"

Hearing this, Rayson's casual expression completely disappeared: "Have you seen her?" ”

The offender didn't bother to pay attention to Rayson, and no one noticed that Rayson's eyes were as sharp as a sword at the moment.

"Boss! You see, this woman is not that ......"

The man turned around, and was about to report his discovery to the tattooed man, when he felt a chill on his shoulder, and looked sideways slightly, but a knife was peeking through his shoulder.

It was originally behind Rayson, but now the weapon in his hand, where is the 'mallet'? It's clearly a knife! The half-exposed stick was the hilt of a knife, and the blade of the knife, blessed by a pile of electronic components, emitted an eerie blue glow that had pierced the shoulder of the person who had taken the photograph.

From the beginning, Rayson teased them all.

"I'm asking you, please, answer." Rayson paused word by word, his expression was no longer relaxed, and he was all ruthless and resolute.
