Chapter 44: Heavy Birthday
"Young man, how did you find me?" The mayor shook the double-barreled shotgun in his hand and asked.
Shen Feng said: "I just happened to hear the sound of breathing behind me." ”
After injecting the bunch of genetic enhancement potions, his own senses were much sharper, and he faintly heard the mayor's breathing just now, so he took away the fireflies and took a look for himself.
Unexpectedly, it was the mayor who was hiding behind.
"You...... Not afraid of the holy spear in my hand? All I need to do is point forward, and the Holy Spear will take your life!" The mayor's eyes narrowed, and he could feel that there was no trace of fear in this young man.
Shen Feng grinned and said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, although I have some adventures, but I will definitely die if I am directly shot in the head by Remington, but I am not afraid if I don't open the insurance." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly struck, grabbed the barrel of the shotgun in the mayor's hand, and pulled it to the side.
The mayor only felt a strong surge, and before he could react, the shotgun in his hand had been snatched away by Shen Feng!
I saw that the stranger skillfully opened the magazine, checked it, and grinned: "Sure enough, there are no bullets." ”
After a month of fighting in the apocalyptic world of the stone statue, Shen Feng can be said to be extremely familiar with the shotgun.
The mayor was holding the gun in the wrong posture just now, and he had no defense against recoil at all.
"Are you ......" The mayor opened his mouth when he saw that the gun in his hand was taken away by Shen Feng, and then suddenly laughed and said, "Is there a bullet, is there a difference?" ”
Shen Feng had completely understood at this time that the gun in the hand of the mayor of Nameless Town had long been out of bullets.
He has always used people's fear of guns to deter everyone and maintain the stability here.
Seeing that it was being debunked by Shen Feng, the mayor looked like he was looking away, took back the double-barreled shotgun, beckoned to Shen Feng, and led him out of the temple to the small building where he lived alone.
After entering the house, Shen Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the room is also a little shabby, there are tables, chairs, beds, and even a coffee table, and the furnishings in it are similar to those in ordinary people's homes.
It is really rare to see this kind of furnishing in the last days.
The mayor lay down on the couch, crossed his legs, put his feet on the table, and asked:
"From Taoyuan Township? From which shelter did you come from? How's it going? ”
From the mayor's name for the shelter, Shen Feng immediately understood that this mayor was obviously not simple, and he might have a lot of knowledge about the current situation of pre-war civilization and human civilization.
He didn't answer the mayor's words at the moment, and asked directly: "Where can I find a missile launch base?" After the outbreak of nuclear war, the chain of command should have been moved underground, in the shelter? Also, have you heard about nuclear warheads? ”
The mayor was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused by Shen Feng's continuous questions, but Shen Feng's words also made him firm in his previous judgment, and said slowly:
"You did come from the Vault...... What Vault is it? Number 7? Number 13? And only in those large shelters are there such good goods as cigarettes...... You're the latest generation of asylum seekers, right? What missile launch base you are talking about, I don't know what it is, it's been too long......"
The mayor seemed to have thought of something, his eyes became foggy, and his eyes towards Shen Feng became much kinder.
Shen Feng smiled, took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and threw a one-dollar plastic lighter at the mayor.
The mayor hurriedly took the cigarette, first took out one and sniffed it greedily under his nose for a while, then picked up the lighter and looked at it for a long time, then lit himself a cigarette, took a greedy puff, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Of course, the rest of the cigarettes and lighters were carried in his pocket.
Shen Feng also found a chair and sat down, and asked again:
"The final chain of command? Where are the strategic missile launch bases? News of nuclear warheads? ”
The mayor of the town has a short mouth at this time, and he showed a look of careful thought, and said:
"Let me think about it...... If you're talking about Vault 0, it's rumored to be in the northwest...... What kind of base is that, I seem to have heard similar names when I was a child, but it's not called this, it's called the Dead Hand Base, and it should be in the northwest direction, which is said to be in the desert...... Nuclear warhead...... Is it the messenger of the god of the east wind? Its messengers are elusive, and I've seen them twice in my life, and I really don't know where to find them. ”
Shen Feng nodded.
The mayor of the town was an old fox, and if Shen Feng expected him to be right, he should have been one of the people in some shelter, so he had received some basic education.
And he also regarded Shen Feng as a refuge.
Seeing that Shen Feng did not speak, the mayor continued:
"What are you looking for these things for? In fact, suicide should be more enjoyable...... Did you know that Vault 6 has a little girl named Qiaoqi? Please let me know if you have any news of her...... Haha, she should have grown up too......"
"To be honest, I've sometimes regretted it over the years, but freedom is still more comfortable...... It's not easy for you to get here alive from the shelter...... Haha, welcome to the real hell, where there is nothing but death and freedom......"
Shen Feng couldn't help but say:
"Since the flame of civilization is still preserved in the Vault, why not unite and rebuild order and civilization on this land?"
Could it be that those people are just hiding in the shelter and letting the civilization outside completely be lost?
"Rebuilding civilization?" The mayor seemed to hear something ridiculous, "You can't just come out of the vault, do you?" Didn't anyone tell you? Forget it, let's talk about the big birthday first...... Let's go, I need to be quiet. ”
After inhaling a large section of smoke, the mayor puffed out clouds of smoke, his face intoxicated and immersed in the smoke.
Shen Feng didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Back at the apartment he had just rented, Shen Feng took out another box of cigarettes, took out two and bought a lot of necessities, including a tattered piece of clothing and a large bucket of water.
After resting for a while, soon it was already evening, and the nameless town became more lively, with quite a few people returning from outside, and it seemed that people from other settlements had come.
Everyone seemed to be very rich, and began to spend a lot of money, eat and drink, and make all kinds of noise.
The dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street are filled with torches made of broken wood and plastic, and the town, which used to look like ruins, looks quite presentable.
The temple was even more crowded with people, all of them doing virtual tapping movements with their eyes closed, praying with devout expressions on their faces.
Almost all of them are kind, as if they are not people struggling to survive in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, but a group of good men and women.
The night quickly became dark, and it was about to reach midnight, but no one went to sleep.
"Shen Feng, Shen Feng!" The sound of fireflies sounded outside, and the little girl ran in an old shirt that had been washed and whitened, and it was no longer the same bark plastic strip as before.
His hair seemed to be clean, and his face was much whiter.
On her head, she was still wearing a small hairpin, and the plastic shell had been worn white, and the original ornament could not be seen.
"Let's celebrate the holidays together." Firefly grinned and said, "Let's go to the rooftop." ”
couldn't help but say, dragged Shen Feng's hand and climbed onto the roof, lying there flat.
Shen Feng lay on the side, looking at the vast starry sky, and couldn't help but feel a little drunk.
The breeze blew, bringing a faint fragrance, and Shen Feng couldn't help but sniffle.
The firefly on the side blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I took a bath, hehe, it cost a hundred dollars, and I also used the soap you gave me, how is it, it smells good?" ”
At this time, the residents of Nameless Town, including the mayor, all came to the roofs of the buildings, lying or sitting, looking at the sky, as if waiting for something.
Shen Feng couldn't help but wonder a little and asked, "Why did everyone go to the roof?" Is this a birthday tradition? ”
How does it feel a bit similar to the Spring Festival celebration, it's almost the countdown in the early morning.
"Shhhh......h......h Let's hope we can be reborn this time. ”
As soon as the words fell, in the distant sky, a meteor-like light pierced the sky and slowly came from the west!
The tail flame of the thruster of the ICBM is like the tail of a comet, waking up the sleeping earth.
"It's a trident, Poseidon's trident is here!"
