The always indifferent look reminded the old man of a person.

But soon, the old man rejected his idea again. How is that possible? The last time I saw that person, at least fifty years ago, how could the two be the same person.

The old man looked at Rayson with a vigilant gaze: "You, who are you?" ”

"Passerby." Rayson said expressionlessly.

"He killed the tarantula tank, and he didn't want any mechanical parts, he gave them all to us." Yan Na hurriedly interjected on the side: "Grandpa, didn't you say that our Beacon Ranger has rules, and we will never do things that bully others or take them by force." He gave us all the parts, and I asked him to come to our camp and charge his exoskeleton in exchange. ”

Yan Na explained everything very quickly. Lei Sen's attitude was cold, and Yan Na was afraid that something unpleasant would happen here.

The old man's face was suspicious: "Just charge it?" Nothing else? ”

"Yes."

As soon as Yan Na and the old man showed surprise on their faces, Lei Sen said again: "Hurry up, I still have something to do." ”

Yan Na let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Lei Sen really had something else to ask. Only then did the old man carefully examine the exoskeleton on Rayson's body, and suddenly frowned: "That...... Isn't it the equipment of the mountain eagle? Where did you get that? ”

Rayson was already taking off his exoskeleton at this time, and he didn't look at the old man at all: "The dead man picked it off." ”

"Dead people? You put the mountain eagle ......"

"Slaughtered." Rayson seemed a little impatient, the exoskeleton on his body had been halfway off, and he looked up at the old man's gaze: "Are you sure it can be charged?" ”

The old man was inexplicably cold, and nodded subconsciously: "Of course you can." ”

Originally, he wanted to interrogate again, but Rayson seemed to have some kind of magic in him, more precisely, a natural deterrent, which made people dare not doubt what he said.

The old man saw the shoulder cannon hanging on Lei Sen's waist again, thought about it, and then said: "For the sake of you slaughtering the mountain eagle, I will help you repair the pulse cannon and install it back, which can be regarded as a favor for you." But that right arm, I don't have any parts here to repair, so you'll use it. ”

"Whatever you want." Rayson's attitude is still not salty: "How long will it take?" ”

"If it's all done, three hours."

Rayson didn't say anything more, acquiescing.

At this time, there was movement in the direction of the camp gate, and there was a sound of motorcycle engines. Not long after, the group of young people who followed Yan Na also gathered, and Jiaming and the one wearing power armor were also there.

"Captain! Yan Na She ...... "Jiaming was anxious to report something to the old man, and when he saw that Yan Na was already here, he paused again, and turned his gaze to Lei Sen.

"Captain! Just now we went to the 415 area to check the situation, and met this kid, we thought about interrogating it, but we didn't expect this kid to be arrogant and unreasonable, and he didn't say a word, and suddenly he did something to us. Later, he coaxed the captain with clever words and asked the captain to bring him here. This guy is certainly not a good thing, you can't let him stay here! ”

Jiaming pointed at Lei Sen's nose and roared, as if he was full of grievances. Yan Na was suddenly angry, she was still thinking about how to get Lei Sen to join the team, didn't Jiaming's tricks make trouble for her?

"Jiaming! What are you talking nonsense? It's obviously someone else you provoked yourself! Also, who was deceived? I invited him on my own initiative! You've got what it takes, and you're going to take out a tarantula tank! ”

Yan Na was so angry that Jiaming was stunned, and he didn't dare to meet Yan Na's angry gaze, but he still pouted and said coldly: "Who knows if he killed the tank, anyway, I think he is bragging!" ”

"You!"

"That's it! Don't even say it! The old man shouted to stop the quarrel between the two: "I have promised to repair and recharge his equipment, and I will not regret what I promised." ”

"As for your previous conflicts, I think ...... It's just a little misunderstanding, and you're not hurt or anything, so forget it. With that, the old man turned his gaze to Rayson again.

"What do you think?"

Rayson didn't answer, he had already taken off all the exoskeletons, and put them on the spot with the shoulder cannon: "You as soon as possible, I'll come back in three hours." ”

With that, Rayson left on his own, as if all the noise just now had nothing to do with him.

Watching Rayson's back gradually walk away, the old man turned sideways and whispered to the man in power armor, "Bob, you keep an eye on him." ”

The man received the order and left quietly.

Jiaming didn't notice this, he couldn't help but point at Lei Sen's back and scolded: "You drag a fart!" I'm ......."

"That's it! What's noisy? The old man also seemed a little impatient, and waved his hand, "You all go down and rest." Yan Na, you stay. ”

When everyone else left, the old man's face softened a little: "You brought that person here, saying that it was to recharge his equipment and return the favor, but in fact, you wanted to find an opportunity for him to join us, right?" ”

Yan Na nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she was splashed with cold water by the old man: "Don't think about this matter." ”

"Why?" Yan Na's face was puzzled: "Didn't you say that everyone is welcome to join the rangers?" Even the old couple last week, you asked them to join our camp, why can't this person? He's strong! ”

"The Rangers do welcome everyone. However, it refers to all those who need us. ”

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Yan Na was still full of doubts.

The old man stared at Yan Na's eyes and said seriously: "You are the future leader of the rangers, there are some things you need to understand. ”

"As a leader, you need people who are absolutely loyal and obedient to you. The guy you brought with him today obviously doesn't need us, and he didn't show any desire to join us just now. ”

Yan Na scratched her head: "So what? ”

"So, if you let him join, he won't be grateful, and there is no way to guarantee that he will be absolutely loyal and obedient. As for the old couple, and most of the other people here, they all need us and want to join. After all, they themselves are outside, and they may die at any time. This kind of person will be grateful for the acceptance of the rangers, and will naturally be loyal and obedient. ”

The old man paused and continued: "Just like Jiaming, if we hadn't taken him in back then, he would have starved to death. Despite his various shortcomings, he is absolutely loyal to the Rangers, and to you. ”

"Yes...... But ......" Yan Na was still a little unwilling: "But he is really strong, if he joins, help us resist the ...... of the royal army"

The old man smiled indifferently: "The rangers have enough personnel now, it is more important to maintain the existing stability, we are not weak, we don't need people who are too strong but risky, obedient people are the first choice." ”

Seeing the old man's determined expression, Yan Na knew that there was no room for struggle, and her face was inevitably disappointed.

Seeing this, the old man asked with some curiosity: "You said he is very strong, how strong is he?" Even if the mountain eagle really died at his hands, it wouldn't be worth your attention, right? Are you really sure that tarantula tank was killed by him alone? ”

"He's really strong! I'm sure! Yan Na looked at the old man's suspicions, and seemed to be a little anxious: "At that time, the tarantula tank had been scrapped, and he was alone nearby." When we met him, his equipment was out of power, but he was still able to carry such a heavy burden to knock down the three of us at once, and then return ......"

Yan Na suddenly paused when she said this, Rayson had no hope of joining the Rangers, if the old man knew that he had held him hostage, maybe there would be some misunderstanding, it was better to hide it.

After thinking about it, Yan Na said: "Bob also said that the danger index analysis of the enemy analyzer against him is uncertain. Nothing like this has ever happened before. ”

"His danger index can't be determined?" The old man suddenly thought, "This is strange. The analyzer analyzes people and animals through brainwave detection, if the analyzer is okay...... Either there is something in the person's head that hinders the analyzer's recognition of the brainwaves; Either that...... His brain was so confused that he couldn't recognize normal brain waves......"

Although surprised, the old man did not dwell on this matter, and told Yan Na: "It doesn't matter, no matter how strong this person is, we can't ask for it, but I promised to charge and repair it for him." When that's done, you can take a chance to remind him to leave our camp. ”

"Well......" Yan Na lowered her head, her face full of regret: "That's nothing, I'll leave first." ”

Yan Na left, and the old man also began to repair Rayson's exoskeleton. Unconsciously, he remembered Rayson's decadent, indifferent face, which really looked like an old man many years ago.

"It can't be him......" the old man frowned and muttered.

At this time, Rayson was sitting on the floor in an empty corner. The camp was supposed to be a parking lot, with many scrapped cars, and many people sleeping in the cars in addition to tents. Bob, who had received the old man's order, stayed at a distance, observing Rayson's movements from time to time.

Yan Na searched the camp for a long time, and finally found Lei Sen, and sat next to him in small steps.

Lei Sen didn't react, and after a moment of silence, Yan Na took the initiative to speak.

"I'm sorry."

“…… Sorry for what? Rayson's tone was still indifferent, and he didn't seem to want to say more.

Yan Na was helpless, and after thinking about it, Lei Sheng didn't seem to have the idea of joining the Rangers, so he simply shook his head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter." Thank you for giving us all those mechanical parts. ”

"Nothing, just take what you need." Yan Na looked sideways, even in this not bright corner, she could still clearly see the bloodshot in Rayson's eyes, originally she thought that Rayson was here to close her eyes and recuperate, but now that she saw it clearly, she found that Rayson had been looking at the sky and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Grandpa will take some time to fix those things, won't you take a break?"

There was a long silence before Rayson spoke, "I don't have time to rest......"

"You can't sleep, can you?" Yan Na took out a radio from her bag: "If you can't sleep, you can listen to our Ranger radio, in addition to the radio, grandpa sometimes plays some music." ”

As she spoke, Yan Na turned on the radio, and a hoarse voice came out: "...... So, if you need help, or want to help others, you're welcome to join us in the Beacon Rangers. Please believe that at least we are standing up for justice in this land. Our camp is right in ......"

Yan Na didn't expect that the recording of the recruiters was still playing at this time, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed, so she quickly turned off the radio. She really didn't know how to explain the fact that the camp was still recruiting, but she couldn't let Rayson join.

There was silence again.

"Reassure your people." This time, it was Rayson who took the initiative to speak: "When the things are repaired, I will leave immediately." ”

Yan Na's face flushed with embarrassment. It turned out that Rayson had already seen that he was not welcome here, and he didn't want to stay here for long. Even if he doesn't remind him, when the exoskeleton is repaired, he will still leave soon.

The awkward silence didn't last long, and the arrival of an uninvited guest broke the silence.

"Stinky boy! I've found you! ”

Jiaming came with a steel pipe and pointed at Lei Sen's nose and scolded: "Get up!" Fight with Lao Tzu! ”

"Jiaming! What are you doing! Yan Na got up and blocked in front of Lei Sen: "You forgot what Grandpa said!" Rangers can't do it to their own people! ”

"Huh! Of course, I remember what the regiment commander said! Jiaming sneered: "But this kid is not from our rangers, teach him a lesson, it's not a bad rule!" ”

"Boy! It's a man, come and fight me! The steel pipe in Jiaming's hand pointed at Lei Sen, and he didn't give up: "You dared to sneak attack me before when I wasn't paying attention!" I'm telling you! I can't run away from you this beating! I'm going to have to clean you up, bastard! ”

Jiaming scolded vigorously, but Lei Sen didn't react at all, and he didn't even bother to look at Jiaming. Jiaming, who felt that he was being ignored, was even more annoyed, and he didn't dare to push Yan Na away, so he could only spit incense at Lei Sen.

In the midst of the noise, a faint abnormal sound passed through Jiaming's invective and reached Rayson's ears.

Because of this strange sound, Rayson's face changed dramatically in an instant.

Yan Na was only concerned about blocking Jiaming at this time, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing beside her, and one foot stretched out from beside her, hitting Jiaming's chest.

With a muffled sound, Jiaming had a forty-three size shoe print on his chest, and the whole person flew out upside down.

Before Yan Na could react, another force came from behind her, forcibly pulling her back.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the position where they were standing just now exploded out of thin air, and the clods of earth on the ground rose and scattered with white smoke.

Yan Na was shocked, and her ears were still ringing after the loud noise: "This, what's going on?" ”

Rayson's face was grim: "It's a mortar, it came in from outside." ”

The strange noise he had just heard was the sound of mortars flying.

If he hadn't moved fast just now, kicked Jiaming out and pulled Yan Na back a few meters, the two of them would have been blown into minced meat.

From the lookout by the camp gate, the hoarse shouts of the guards could be heard.

"Level 1 alert! There is an enemy attack! ”
