"Boss, let's have a bowl of cold noodles."

"It's closed, it's not for sale."

Lu Wen stood in the dark streets of Baker City, watching the last restaurant on this street close.

This attitude is in the city of Mou.

It won't take three days to close.

But here, the restaurants that dare to open their doors at night are relatively strong.

For example, the one where Lu Wen once went to with Yu Eryi, the boss carried a revolver with him.

The subdivision of Baker City is somewhat different from that of Mou.

The city used to use the 16 regional distribution system, but then the population became smaller and smaller, with only a few million people, less than half of the city of Mou.

The current partition is very crude.

There are four major regions, southeast, northwest and northwest.

Lu Wen has been shopping in the East District for the past two days.

The red-glowing mechanical spider on his shoulder made those in the dark realize that he wasn't anything to mess with, so nothing happened during this time.

"Hoo ......"

The icy night breeze blows through the cold streets.

Dim lights flickered on and off on both sides of the street, illuminating the rusty world around them.

There was an intermittent cry in the night.

Lu Wen walked to the place where the cry came from.

A young man.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has not taken off his childishness, and the beard on his lips has not been shaved.

"It's dangerous at night, and the street isn't a good place to cry." Lu Wen sat down on the side, the dark red sky dotted the city like a devil's lair, and the night was full of dangers.

The young man looked up at him.

Messy hair looks like it hasn't been washed in days, and it's a mess.

"You...... Aren't you in this kind of place? ”

"Because I'm strong enough, those guys in the dark don't dare to mess with me."

Lu Wen patted the little spider on his shoulder.

"Big man, unless you really encounter a hurdle that you can't get over, don't shed tears easily, go home early." He said.

"I don't have a home." The young man's voice was small and a little choked.

"Someone in the family has an accident?"

Lu Wen can also be regarded as a person with a month's experience.

At a glance, you can see the condition of this young man.

"I ...... My dad got into a car accident when I was very young......"

The young man spoke intermittently about his family situation.

Maybe Lu Wen seems to be reliable, or maybe he really needs someone to talk to, so he has nothing to hide.

It's not easy to live.

His mother was diagnosed with a tumor last year, and the cost of treatment for a whole year completely brought down the family, which was not wealthy, and he dropped out of school to work.

At the age of fifteen, he travels back and forth in this dangerous city every day.

Because he was not old, those big companies didn't dare to ask him, so he had to sit three part-time jobs at the same time every day, busy from six o'clock in the morning to late at night.

His mother was hospitalized again last week.

I really can't come up with the money this time......

"I feel so tired of living, I can't see hope every day, but I have to live, if I die......"

His mother is still in the hospital and is in weak health.

Lu Wen had been listening to him and didn't say much.

In this city, there are many such people.

For these people, life is living.

More and more people could not survive, so they chose to leave, so the population of the city decreased year by year, until it is now desolate.

A dying city.

"I still say the same thing, as a man, there is nothing that you can't get over, hold on more." Lu Wen smiled and patted the young man's shoulder.

"But...... But ......"

"Can your mother's tumor be cured?"

"The doctor said that there is still a chance to be cured by surgery, but I don't have the money, so if I delay it any longer......"

As he spoke, the young man choked up again.

Lu Wen took out a very small coin from his pocket.

Even in the dim darkness of the light, the golden glow on the coin could be clearly seen.

It was a smiley face.

"Next!"

Lu Wen flicked his fingers, and the coin flipped beautifully in the air several times.

The young men scrambled to catch it.

That cautious look seemed to have caught some kind of hope, a very unreal hope.

There are many more such coins here.

Yin Long's treasures, those golden humors, he didn't pick up in the first place.

Later, the droid who picked it up followed him away, handing him all the coins.

It's a trust that he can take the organization to a better place.

"Give...... For me? ”

"Borrow you, I'll come to you when I'm free in the future and want to come back."

"Is there interest?"

"Nope."

The young man fumbled carefully for the golden coin.

It seemed like a dream, but the reality of the dream made him have to believe it.

"This thing is not an ordinary gold coin, this is a commemorative coin, before the last war, there are not a few left on the market now, don't be stupid to go to the gold store to sell it according to the gold price, find a reliable auction ......"

Before Lu Wenyan could speak, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the young man to his side.

At that moment, a bullet grazed the young man's hair.

"Bang!"

Gunfire is common in the dark of the city at night.

Just across the street, two tattooed men were pointing guns at them.

"Alas, the money came to me." Lu Wen sighed.

He hadn't encountered a robbery for two days in a row, and he felt a little bored.

I finally met one, or this kind of unpopular goods, does he look poorer now?

Lu Wen touched the two scars on his face.

In the past two days, he has changed his skin, from the former literary youth to a rugged youth, and his clothes are closer to the style of Baker City, tattered jeans, short sleeves sprayed at random on the upper body, and it seems that he is indeed not very rich.

"Give all the money you have?" Lu Wen asked.

"How do you know I'm going to say this...... No, be quiet and hand over all the money you have! ”

The two men on the opposite side obviously had a division of labor.

One pointed a gun at them.

The other is responsible for intimidation, threats.

"It is said that if you live in a place with serious heavy metal pollution for a long time, you will slowly become demented, which is true, and I feel that the IQ of this city is generally lower than that of Mowu City." Lu Wen sighed.

"You're taunting us?"

"Can you tell I'm mocking you? It doesn't seem that there is a case of severe dementia, perhaps...... Barely saved. ”

"You...... You...... You're looking for ...... death."

The man with the gun gestured and looked ready to shoot.

The young man's face turned pale.

Finally, there is hope for saving his mother, and he doesn't want to die here.

"Wait!"

Lu Wen stretched out his hand and hurriedly stopped.

"Do you have any last words?" One of them asked.

"Did you two see the surveillance over there? It's right across this street, and now the four of us are monitoring every move, aren't you worried that someone from the Executive Directorate will come to your door tomorrow? ”

"Hehe, it's really a foreigner, no wonder he is so bold and dares to go out at night." One of them said coldly, "The Executive Directorate of Baker City will not deal with the cases that happen at night, and the night in this city is free. ”

"Oh...... Then I'm relieved. ”

"What did you say?"

No sooner had the two men looked back from the distant surveillance when they saw two tiny half-moon darts flying towards them.

Very fast speed.

Two faint shadows streaked across the night sky.

With a 'crackling' electric sound, the two men fell to the ground.

"Smack!"

The gun fell to the ground.

Lu Wen walked across the street and picked up the gun on the ground.

Tossed it to the young man across the street.

The spider leapt off his shoulder, its sharp front legs stabbing into the brains of both men one by one.

"Remember, you don't just owe me money now, you owe me my life."

The young man scrambled to take the gun.

There seems to be some fear.

He didn't know what to do with it.

What happened in just over ten minutes was so bizarre that he didn't even react.

By the time he raised his head again, Lu Wen's back was already far away.

The young man hurried after him.

"Benefactor, what's your name?" He asked.

"The name is a code name, this thing is arbitrary, whatever you want to call it." Lu Wen smiled.

"I ...... I ......"

"What else do you want to ask?"

"Benefactor, how did you make so much money? This gold coin...... This gun can also sell for a lot of money, I don't feel like you care very much. ”

"When you're strong enough, money is just a matter of quantity."

The young man followed Lu Wen and asked a lot.

The night is getting darker.

Lu Wen's sense of hearing is very sensitive, so he can perceive it.

The two of them were followed by some people behind them.

Those people have been following for a long time, and the main target should be him.

"Alas, during this period of time, it was relatively arbitrary, and I forgot even the simple truth that wealth is not exposed, and the security of the hell place of Baker City is ...... It's really hard to put into words. ”

The people who followed behind were divided into two groups.

Two more rhythmic footsteps, cautious.

In terms of numbers, it occupies an absolute advantage.

The only thing that could make them so careful was the reddish mechanical spider on Lu Wen's shoulder.

Red, which represents danger.

"Where is your home?" Lu Wen asked.

"It's around here, benefactor, do you have a place to rest at night? If not, you can ......."

"No, I'm busy tonight, take a good look, turn the corner at the intersection in front of you."

"Abduction...... Hmmm......"

The young man also realized.

After living in Baker City for more than ten years, I still have a sense of crisis.

"Have you used a firearm before?" Lu Wen asked again.

"I haven't used it, this one is very expensive, I can't afford it." The young man shook his head.

It's actually not very expensive.

On the Mou side, an ordinary person can afford to pay for a firearm, as long as he can get an application to buy it.

But Baker City's side ...... The floor of poverty has been lowered a lot.

Many people are wrapped up in a life of being full and hungry.

The flickering lights on the streets make this dark world seem a little eerie.

The two turned left at an intersection in front of them.

Meanwhile.

The spider on Lu Wen's shoulder jumped down, and two sharp front claws stabbed into the base of the street lamp.

"Boom-"

Regardless of whether he is connected in parallel or in series, he has to turn off the main line.

Several streets were instantly plunged into darkness.
