Ninety-one, extinguishing the door
Seeing the corpse exposed on the cart, Rayson was finally sure. The young man and woman downstairs were not the original owners of the house at all, but the people mentioned at the end of the diary, who came to the door to seek shelter from the wind and sand. Obviously, the original owner of this place has been murdered by them, and this pair of men and women can occupy the magpie's nest.
"Uncle......" Anderley was a little panicked all of a sudden, but Rayson seemed to be listening to something at this time, put his index finger on his lips, and motioned Anderley to silence.
Sure enough, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the room, and a dark shadow flickering through the crack in the door.
Rayson struck decisively, rushed over and kicked hard at the door.
As the door was kicked open, there was a dull crashing sound outside. Rayson and Ashley rushed out to take a look, the man was holding his bloody nose and fell to the ground just now, and a machete fell next to him, it seemed that he was knocked down by a kicked open door, the woman was holding a rope in her hand, and the whole person was shocked when she saw Rayson rushing out, obviously she didn't expect Rayson to be on guard.
The man picked up the machete and got up in embarrassment, and Rayson had already rushed over again, jumping up and kicking the man away, and at the same time using him as a point of strength, he spun around in the air and kicked the woman away.
The woman was kicked to the side of the corridor, first hit the wall, and when she bounced back, her stomach hit the staircase railing, and she rolled over and fell directly off the first floor!
Rayson ignored the man lying on the ground and went straight downstairs; Ashley looked over and found the man lying on the ground convulsive, foaming at the mouth and spitting blood; Rayson just kicked him in the throat and killed him.
"Please! Leave me alone! It's none of my business! I was just forced! I didn't kill people, he did it! Please spare me! ”
When the woman fell, her knees hit the ground first because she rolled twice, and she broke her legs directly! The carpet-covered floor was smashed into a large chunk. But the woman didn't care about the pain, she still dragged her legs desperately to the door, and kept begging Rayson for mercy.
Rayson ignored and didn't intend to let her go. The woman had already taken the rope in her hand just now, and it was obvious that she was already planning to follow the man to attack them. Since they are deliberately plotting against themselves and Ashley, they have to bear the consequences!
The long knife was about to be unsheathed to harvest his life, when suddenly, Rayson felt a strange movement under his feet, and hurriedly dodged away.
"Ah!!h
The sunken floor, covered by the carpet, suddenly lifted, and a woman with messy hair and only a thin shirt on her upper body rushed out of the ground. There's a cellar under that carpet! Presumably, the strange noise she heard before was also from the cellar.
The woman who rushed out from under the cellar was hideous, like a madman! At the first glance when I came out, I saw the broken leg girl next to me, and immediately pounced like a mad dog, rode on the broken leg girl, grabbed the hair of the broken leg girl, and slammed her head to the ground crazily!
"You give my husband's life back! Give back my daughter's name! Give them back to me! Give it back!! ”
The woman with the broken leg had no power to resist, kept struggling, and screamed from time to time.
"Ahh Yes! It's none of my business! I didn't kill it! Yes! ”
Soon, the strength of the broken leg woman's struggle became smaller and smaller, and her outstretched hands hung down weakly, only twitching from time to time. Rayson and Anderley just watched quietly from the stairs, and no one stopped them.
Judging from the trivial conversation just now, this crazy woman is the original owner of the house, and the young man and woman not only occupied her house, but also killed her husband and daughter, and it is no wonder that she fell into a state of rage the moment she saw the young woman.
The woman with the broken leg was silent, but the madwoman still grabbed her head and hit her for a long time, until the mixture of blood and brain slurry slowly spread and flooded the small half of the living room, and the madwoman sat down with exhaustion.
Immediately, the madwoman saw Rayson Ashley on the stairs again: "Who are you?" What do you want to do! It's with them, right?! ”
"Calm down, we don't have malicious intentions, and we don't know them." Rayson held out his hands and signaled that he had no ill intentions.
But the madwoman's eyes widened, and she picked up a sharp piece of wood next to her, and confronted Rayson: "Fart! You're trying to lie to me, aren't you? You're all in this together! I won't be fooled by you again! ”
The mad woman wore only a thin short sleeve on her upper body, and the temperature of the lonely cabin in the wind and sand was not high, but even though she was shivering, the woman still glared at Rayson and Anderley with a fierce face, and clenched the wood chip in her hand until it cut her own hand and dripped blood, and did not let go.
In fact, if you look closely, the madwoman's face is also dignified, no wonder she was imprisoned in the cellar, it seems that the man who occupied the house was originally going to keep her in captivity as a plaything. But her mental state is no longer normal, and her messy hair and hideous expression make her look terrifying.
Rayson wasn't going to deal with a madman, but Ashley was indignant: "What a gang! You figure it out! It was the uncle who helped you solve them first, and that man was also killed by the uncle! Otherwise, do you think you have a chance to come out and take revenge! ”
"Dead? The man died? ”
The madwoman was stunned, staring at Ashley, seeing that her serious face did not look like lying, and after a moment she sat down again with relief: "Yes...... That man damn it! He's the most damned! He killed my husband while we were asleep with this woman! And my daughter! And let me ...... And let me look at their corpses and give me ......"
As she spoke, the madwoman covered her face in pain and cried bitterly: "It's all me!" It's all my fault! I shouldn't have relented and let them in, I killed my husband and daughter! My daughter!!! ”
After crying for a while, the woman suddenly changed her expression like a madman, with tears and a sickly smile on her face, and glanced around: "Daughter, good daughter~ Where are you?" Playing Catch and Seek? Mom is coming to you~"
Looking around, the woman's eyes turned to Rayson and Ashley again, as if she had lost her memory again: "Who are you?" Why in my house? Get out of here! You are not welcome in my house!! ”
"Get out!!"
"You ......" Ashley was suddenly angry, but Rayson raised his hand to stop her words: "She's crazy...... There's no need to worry about her. Grab our stuff and go. ”
Ashley had no choice but to walk back to her room to get the salute package and follow Rayson away. Rayson and Anderley deliberately walked past the edge of the hall under the madwoman's hideous gaze, bypassed her, and pushed their motorcycles out of the room.
At this time, the wind and sand outside had weakened slightly, and it was no longer as violent as it had been when it came.
Before he could get on his motorcycle, Rayson heard the sound of things falling to the ground and shattering from the house. Soon, there was a roar of fire in the house, and the woman's crazy cries.
"Daughter, where are you? Mother's good daughter, come out quickly~ Let mom hug you again~"
"Uncle, she is ......"
Ashley looked at the changes in the house with a complicated expression; Rayson raised his hand to stop Anderley from getting any closer to the house, and after a moment of silence, he set up the motorcycle and walked to the small cart in the yard under Ashley's surprised gaze.
Lifting the rags covering the cart, underneath it, sure enough, was the body of an adult man and a little girl. Although they had begun to decompose, they could still feel the pain they had suffered, and both bodies were covered with knife cuts, and the death was terrifying.
Rayson quickly covered the rag again, and before Ashley could see the dazzling everything, he grabbed the trolley with both hands and lifted it up easily with the power of the exoskeleton.
The trolley was eventually thrown into the burning house by Rayson, and along with the mad woman, he was also engulfed in flames.
"Let's go, there's nothing we can do for her." Rayson let Anderley into the car, got on the motorcycle, and pushed down the accelerator.
As the heavy motorcycle drove into the wind and sand, Ashley put her arms around Rayson's waist, but her eyes were fixed on the burning house for a long time, until the fire farther and farther away, and never turned back......
The motorcycle drove for another day and a night, and even though Ashley repeatedly suggested, Rayson never stopped to rest.
I was far away from the sandstorm, but as far as the eye could see, it was still a desert, and I don't know how long it had been open, and finally I saw a little shadow of a building. Rayson is also very attentive, and from time to time he will look at his watch that has the function of monitoring the radiation in the surrounding area. Fortunately, there was no radiation zone along the way, and the motorcycle was able to always keep running in a straight line.
The closer you go, the clearer you can see ahead, it's a complex of buildings in the middle of the desert of flying sand, just looking at it from a distance, you can see that the complex is much larger than the previous Devon City.
Suddenly, Ashley said hesitantly: "Uncle...... Are you really going to send me back...... I managed to escape from home...... If I go back like this, my dad will definitely lock me up at home again, won't let me go out, and I'll suffocate......"
"Isn't it satisfying to have a place where you can live safely in such a world?" Rayson did not waver in the slightest: "You must go back, it's too dangerous outside and not suitable for you." ”
Ashley wanted to argue, but when the words came to her mouth, she choked inexplicably, and her mouth opened, but she still didn't say anything.
Thinking of being separated from Rayson soon, Anderley only felt sad, and her hands around Rayson's waist tightened.
Rayson wasn't aware of any of this. At this moment, all he was thinking about was Su Ling's business.
Only Rayson himself knew that the reason why he insisted on sending Anderley home was to find out from Anderley's father whether there was any clue about Su Ling. Judging from the highly similar appearance of Anderley and Su Ling, it is very likely that the two have some kind of connection, and it is even possible that Su Ling is Anderley's mother.
If this conjecture is correct, Rayson also wants to see what kind of character Su Ling's final choice, Anderley's father, is? He will try to restrain himself and not beat the other person.
Rayson drove into the sand city on his motorcycle, and all kinds of people and other clothes could be seen on the streets, and there were even wandering merchants with donkeys and serious children. He had heard Ashley introduce that Sand City is very large, and anyone can enter and live here, which leads to the intricateness of various forces, and when she left, there was no force that could dominate the entire Sand City.
Ashley lives in a slum on the edge of Sand City, and Rayson gets there quickly on his motorcycle. Slums are not often crowded with motorcycles, and many people look at them curiously and timidly.
Seeing these people in tattered clothes, Rayson inexplicably thought of Maurice and others in Devon City, and his mood became a little depressed.
"That's ...... there"
Under Ashley's guidance, Rayson parked his car in front of a house made of tin containers. But after Ashley got off the car, she stood in front of the door for a long time, and raised her hand for a long time, but she didn't knock on the door.
Rayson was also anxious: "Knock on the door!" ”
Ashley glanced back at Rayson, reluctantly, and finally had to knock on the tin door.
"Dad, I'm back! Father! ”
No response.
Ashley was puzzled and knocked again: "Dad! It's me! I am back! ”
This time it was a little harder than before, but after knocking twice, Ashley found that the door was not locked, but only hidden.
Ashley opened the door and walked in, only to find the house in a mess, and Ashley's heart suddenly lifted.
"Uncle! Oh no! ”
Rayson was still thinking about how to greet Ashley's father and introduce himself, when he suddenly heard Ashley's exclamation from the house, and hurriedly rushed in.
"Oh no! My dad is gone! ”
Rayson was stunned for a moment, and the lines he had just thought of were all in vain.
"What's going on, calm down and speak slowly."
"Look!" Ashley pointed around the house: "As soon as I come back, the house will be like this!" My dad is gone, too! Something will happen to him! ”
Ashley was so anxious that she was about to cry, at this time she didn't have the usual man-like arrogance, and she had completely become an ordinary little girl.
"Don't worry, let's see what's going on first."
Rayson hurriedly reassured Ashley, and then took a closer look around.
It's a mess in the house, but when Rayson takes a closer look, he finds something unusual. There are no signs of reaction in many things in the house, including a few cabinets that have not been opened, but have just fallen to the ground, and they have all fallen to dust, apparently for some time.
At the same time, there was a shoe on the ground, and some scratches, which were supposed to be the marks of someone being dragged along.
"Your father...... Someone must have taken him away. Rayson stood up: "They didn't turn over the things here, the purpose is very clear, they are coming for your father!" The mess here is because your father struggled and probably got into a fight with them, so they fell to the ground. ”
"Coming at my dad?" Ashley had a question mark on her head, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out who might have done this.
"My dad didn't offend anyone, how could they take my dad away?"
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door, a thin old man. Seeing the two people in the room, the old man was shocked: "Ashley? How did you get back? ”
"Uncle Bai!?" Ashley hurriedly greeted her: "You came just in time!" My dad is gone! Do you know what's going on? ”
The old man named Uncle Bai sighed: "Not long after you left, Maha brought someone to the door and took your father away. ”
"Maha?" When Ashley heard the name, a look of anger suddenly appeared on her face.
Through the conversation between the two, Rayson learned that Maha's father, Hassan, was in charge of several mines in the vicinity and was a well-known bully in the area.
But Ashley's family has been taken care of by Maha a lot, for no other reason, Maha has always coveted the good-looking Ashley, and Ashley's father also knows this, after all, he is taken care of by the other party, and he has always not expressed his position or objected, and has turned a blind eye.
It's just that Ashley doesn't like Maha, and she doesn't want to associate with him. A year ago, Maha asked Ashley and her father to move into his own home, in the name of giving them some easy jobs to make ends meet.
How could Ashley not know Maha's purpose? That night, she packed her bags and left the house, leaving the sand city. In fact, this is the real reason why she made up her mind to run away.
It's just that after Anderley left, Maha was furious and thought that Anderley's father deliberately hid her, so not long after Anderley left, he sent someone to kidnap Anderley's father and take him to the mine to do hard labor. And let out the word, and let everyone who saw Ashley tell her that she wanted her father to be spared from hard labor, so she washed herself and sent her to the door.
"This damn guy! He's delusional! Dream on! Ashley scolded indignantly.
"You'd better hurry up and find a way to get your father out." Uncle Bai sighed: "I met Tran a few days ago, and I heard him say that he saw your father in the mine, and your father is not in a good situation. ”
Ashley's face showed sadness and self-reproach. If she hadn't said goodbye, maybe her father wouldn't have been in this situation.
"Which mine? I'm going to save him right now! ”
"This ......" Uncle Bai shook his head at this time: "I didn't make this clear, maybe I forgot." ”
"How so?! Uncle Bai, think about it! Ashley was anxious, but no matter how Uncle Bai recalled, he couldn't think of an accurate answer.
Lei Sen pulled Uncle Bai aside, took out a radiation pill and stuffed it into Uncle Bai's hand: "Old man, please think about it, which mine is it?" ”
"This ......"
Uncle Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the radiation pill, and he accepted it quietly.
But after seriously remembering for a while, he still shook his head: "I really can't remember. Go and ask Tran, he should be on Third Street now, but I don't know if he's in a brothel or a tavern, you'll have to find out for yourselves. ”
Hearing this, Ashley's face on the side of 'Third Street' suddenly became a little ugly.
Lei Sen nodded helplessly, and then lowered his voice and said to Uncle Bai: "Ashley is back, please keep it secret, don't talk about it for the time being." ”
Uncle Bai nodded very simply this time, and glanced at Rayson with curious eyes: "You and Ashley ......"
"Oh, we're normal friends."
"Friends?" Uncle Bai poked his head out suspiciously, looked at Anderley again, and smiled meaningfully: "Understood, understood." ”
Rayson was helpless, this old man understood a fart, obviously misunderstood.
But now he didn't have time to explain too much, he asked Uncle Bai to leave first, and then found a random piece of clothing from the dumped cabinet, tore it into a mask, and asked Anderley to wear it. When he came, Rayson had already seen that many people on the road were wearing sand masks, thinking that it was because of the harsh environment of the sand city and the frequent flying sand and rocks. Even if Ashley wore a mask, it wouldn't be too obtrusive.
"You wear it well, don't take it off. Until you rescue your father, it's best not to let too many people know that you're back, so as not to startle you. ”
Rayson personally put on Ashley's mask and did not forget to tell him. But he didn't notice that Anderley's pretty face under the mask had quietly turned red.
Third Street wasn't far from here, and Rayson parked his motorcycle at Anderley's house and walked to it on foot.
But Third Street is a place of dogs and horses, and even though it's daytime, the road is full of women standing on the side of the street, still shouting about the skin business, and drunkards swaying along the road. Although Ashley wore a mask, her beautiful figure still made several drunkards stare at her, and some even whistled at her.
Anderley endured her unhappiness and took Rayson to the tavern first. She was born and raised here, and she also knew the Tron mentioned by Uncle Bai, and she only hoped to find him as soon as possible.
Luckily, Ashley did find Tran here, drunk under a table in the corner of the tavern.
"Uncle, that's the person!"
Rayson looked in the direction Ashley was pointing and spotted a drunken Brown as well.
But he didn't notice that there was a man staring at them in the corner on the other side of the tavern.
The man stared at Rayson for a long time, then snuck out a modified radio communicator with a small screen from his bosom, called up a photo stored inside, and compared it carefully.
After repeated confirmations, the man walked out of the tavern with his head shrunk, quickly came to a no-man's corner, and activated radio communication.
"Hey! Come on! I've got a big deal here! ”
