Chapter 51 Suspension of Business
Nakakyo Shelter Settlement.
Lin Xiao's left hand held the carbon fiber recurve bow handle, and his right hand filled the special polymer fiber bowstring weighing one hundred and twenty-eight pounds, and in the firing groove, a jet-black carbon arrow was firmly erected on it, and the bullet-shaped tip of the arrow was shiny.
Boom!
With the sound of a bowstring, the arrow disappeared as if it had disappeared into thin air, and then not far from Lin Xiao, a cluster of floating flames burned in the blink of an eye, dragging the spark and nailing it into the bull's-eye four hundred meters away with a roar.
When Lin Xiao was about to take out the arrows from the quiver again, a girl's voice sounded from behind him, with a slight complaint: "Hey, hey, it's almost there." ”
As she spoke, a girl with exaggerated gray-green hair and chewing bubble gum flashed out from behind Lin Xiao, opened the small gate, and slowly walked towards the target four hundred meters away.
As she walked, the girl muttered: "I really don't know where Uncle Huang got such a freak as you, you are really the number one person who came to the shooting training ground to practice bows and arrows, and you come every day." ”
Yes, although the girl's words are a bit exaggerated, but this is the third time Lin Xiao has visited her shooting range this week, but the first few times Lin Xiao paid for archery, the girl watched with a pair on the side, and the two of them didn't speak, and today the girl suddenly spoke, which made Lin Xiao a little surprised.
As she spoke, the girl shook her head, and could see that her hair had not been dyed for a while, and the shoulder-length soft short hair was only half close to the ends of the hair that remained gray-green, and the thick hair that spread from the top of her head had taken on the original jet-black color of Asians.
"It's not that I don't give money," Lin Xiao was not annoyed when he heard the girl's complaints, but smiled and sat on the chair next to him, took out a half-drunk bottle of water from the gun rack on the side, unscrewed the lid and took a sip and said, "I have never seen a young girl who has just grown up to open a shooting range under the slum." ”
"The last days, big brother. The girl didn't look back, shrugged her shoulders, and told Lin Xiao that it was not unusual to open a shooting range in the last days.
"Zhongjing, eldest sister. Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, he really didn't understand how much power was behind her to build a shooting range under the core of the state power organs, but listening to what she said just now, she seemed to know Huang Que, and she also called Huang Que uncle.
"So few people dare to come and play," the girl said perfunctorily after Lin Xiao's words.
"Eh, I said," Lin Xiao put his arms on the anti-slip platform made of iron plates, looked left and right, and saw that there were only two of them in the shooting range, and asked the girl who was walking farther and farther away, "Whose girl are you?" ”
Hearing this, the girl stopped and turned her head to look at Lin Xiao: "Want to know?"
"Mmmmmm," Lin Xiao nodded hurriedly and stood up.
The girl chewed bubble gum, blew a bubble, thought for a while, hooked her finger towards Lin Xiao and motioned him over.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and trotted all the way to the girl.
The girl looked a little short in front of Lin Xiao, who was 1.85 meters tall, and her head was about to reach Lin Xiao's shoulder, she beckoned Lin Xiao to bend down and put his ears up.
Lin Xiao nervously put his ear to the girl's mouth, waiting for the girl to tell him the secret.
But the secret didn't wait, but a cold gun barrel was pressed under Lin Xiao's ear.
"Hey," Lin Xiao didn't look at it to know what was resisting him, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, pouting and not daring to move: "You can be careful not to go off." ”
"That's not for sure," the girl blew another bubble, and a pop sounded in Lin Xiao's ears, and she raised her eyebrows and said a little ruffianly: "No one who came here dared to ask me such a question." ”
Lin Xiao bent his waist, a little embarrassed, but his tone was quite relaxed: "I was the first to eat crabs?"
"You're the first to die," corrected the girl, "and the people who come here aren't as visionary as you." ”
"Take it," Lin Xiao pointed to the bright silver pistol in the girl's hand.
This pistol is the famous M460 revolver in the pistol world, known as the 'near-perfect revolver', with a bullet velocity of 701 meters per second, it is firmly in the championship among revolvers, equipped with .50 caliber Magnum bullets, and can knock over a bison within 100 meters.
It can be seen that the M460 in the girl's hand is still special, the upper edge of the barrel is carved with complex gilt patterns, as if the pistol is hooked with a golden edge, and a capital M is carved near the head of the gun, the whole pistol looks simple and exquisite, not like a pistol used for actual combat, but like a revolver specially ordered for collection by Middle Eastern tycoons.
Lin Xiao turned his head slightly with some concern and looked at the girl's hand holding the gun, this revolver is more than 20 centimeters long just by the barrel, the overall gun weighs nearly ten catties, and the huge gun body compares with the girl's petite arms and palms, Lin Xiao even doubts that the girl's arm will be broken by the recoil when she shoots.
"Are you tired of holding it?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked with a smile for no reason.
"It's okay," the girl looked at Lin Xiao with a hippie smile and added: "Before I get tired, I can hold it steady enough to shoot you in the head." ”
"Tsk," Lin Xiao smacked his lips: "It's not good for the little girl's family to shout all day long, it's not good to hurt yourself by brushing the gun." ”
Lin Xiao's voice just fell.
Boom!
A huge gunshot rang out from next to Lin Xiao.
The muzzle of the .50 caliber M460 revolver flashed with fire, and the bullet grazed the side of Lin Xiao's neck, splashing the wood chips from the wooden target!
Lin Xiao didn't expect this girl to shoot without saying hello, her body was so frightened that she trembled for a moment, and only the sound of buzzing tinnitus was left in her ears.
He turned his head to look at the target, and saw a fist-sized hole spreading out from the very center of the target, and it was obvious that the girl's shot was extremely accurate.
Originally, Lin Xiao wanted to scold the girl for two sentences, but when he turned around and saw the girl's beautiful face, most of his anger disappeared, and he said in his heart that it was easy to be forgiven if a good-looking person did something wrong.
He sighed helplessly and plucked out his ears, and only a helpless complaint remained in his tone: "Can you say it in advance next time you shoot." ”
"If you ask again, I don't think there's any need to say it in advance, because next time you'll have no head," the girl shrugged, put away the revolver, left Lin Xiao in place, turned her head and walked back.
Originally, she wanted to clean up the wooden target that was nailed by Lin Xiao, but now it seems that there is no need for this, because the shot she just fired has completely smashed the target.
"You're going to have to pay for today," the girl stepped out of the target path, jumped out of the small fence of the shooting port and sat back down on the bar.
"Why," Lin Xiao asked dissatisfiedly, "That target was obviously broken by you!"
"That's it," the girl thudched as she threw her gun onto the handlebar.
"Do you own a black shop?" Lin Xiao looked at the girl blowing bubbles with a smile.
Seeing Lin Xiao's deflated appearance, the girl stared at Lin Xiao for two seconds, and finally couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth slightly, nodded and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Guess right, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer people coming." ”
Lin Xiao hurriedly made a scared look: "The woman spares her life, I am just a passing grass farmer, and I don't have any silver on me." ”
The girl looked at Lin Xiao's funny appearance, froze for a moment, and then couldn't help but be amused and giggled.
The two are the same age, and Lin Xiao himself has excellent archery skills, and the girl doesn't dislike Lin Xiao, and the girl just wanted to tease him.
After laughing, the girl waved her hand and said in a good manner: "The woman is in a good mood today, I want to ask you a question, and if you answer it well, you will be exempted from the toll." ”
"Gotcha!" Lin Xiao nodded flatteringly, trotted over and flew out from the shooting port to the girl and replied: "It's okay for you to talk, the little one knows everything, and the words are endless." ”
The girl looked at Lin Xiao's hand, and on his wrist, she held a delicate quartz watch of Minnie Mouse.
"You're a good one. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's smile froze on his face, and then he subconsciously took his wrist back.
"Where did it come from? The girl continued.
Lin Xiao's smile disappeared in an instant, his body stiffened, and he was silent for a long time.
"I'll give you the money. Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.
As he spoke, Lin Xiao took out a small stack of palm-sized and delicate red tickets from his waist bag, which read, 'National General Cargo Tickets Issued by the National High Court'.
That's right, in the month after the end of the world, the monetary system collapsed and inflation was so severe that the High Court had to issue such 'bills' to act as temporary currency, with face values ranging from 500 to 10,000.
Of course, this kind of ticket is essentially an intermediary tool for bartering, and is currently only circulated in the survivor settlements in Zhongjing, with the high-level court as the core.
Although it is called temporary currency, it is only allowed to open places and middle and high-level circulation in some countries, and for most of the poor at the lowest level, simple barter is still the mainstream.
When the girl saw that Lin Xiao was very disappointed when she mentioned this, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and said with some guilt: "Forget it, it's all about my treat today." ”
Lin Xiao looked at the girl's apologetic face and opened his mouth, then waved his hand pretending not to care: "It's okay, it's as much as it should be." ”
As he spoke, he took out six or seven red tickets from the ticket in his hand and put them on the bar, turned around and put on his clothes and walked to the door with a lot of concern.
"Hey," the girl's voice sounded from behind Lin Xiao again: "My name is Jasmine, the jasmine of Jasmine." ”
"Oh, a nice name," Lin Xiao turned around and nodded kindly: "My name is Lin Xiao, a brave and good fighter." ”
After introducing himself, Lin Xiao wanted to continue walking outside.
Jasmine looked at Lin Xiao's somewhat lonely figure, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Huang values you very much. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but stop again: "What do you mean." ”
"Literally," Jasmine raised her eyebrows and lifted the tickets that Lin Xiao had just put on the bar, tilting her head to reveal a sly smile: "Are you interested in inviting me to a drink?"
Lin Xiao blinked and looked at Jasmine blankly, as if he saw the aura on Hu Jia's body in her.
"But," Lin Xiao pointed to the shooting range with some hesitation: "Aren't you in business?"
I saw Jasmine jump off the barstool, walked to the riot-proof glass door, flipped over the 'open' sign hanging on her hand, and turned the 'Temporarily Closed' to the outside, then picked up a piece of bubble gum and put it in her mouth and chewed it, raising her eyebrows at Lin Xiao.
"It's closed now. ”
