............................. A dividing line, which used to be New Year's Day..........................................................

After a small episode, Chang Zaitian rushed back to Mingquan in a hurry, and there were no accidents along the way. It's just that they can't recover their companion's corpses, and they should have been reduced to ashes like the plants.

After returning to Mingquan, Wang Peng was first sent to a hospital in the buffer zone for treatment, but fortunately, emergency measures saved his life in time. The members of the Bear Ghost Hunting Group were very sad for the two members who had died, and after settling Wang Peng and dealing with their injuries, they began to ask around if there were any hunters dressed like natives during the hunt, or if there was a new religion in this kind of dress. Even if you can't beat them now, you must at least know who your enemy is.

As a result, there are many strange new religions, and some strange hunting groups, but none of them correspond to the "native" characteristics. As for calling the police or whatever, it's useless. Because the local administrative agencies can only manage their own urban areas, as long as they leave the defense area and enter the wilderness, it is a lawless land, and no one cares about it at all. To be honest, it's not that I don't want to manage it, but I can't manage it. Now humans need to hide in the defensive circle in order to protect themselves, and the wild is still the world of mutant beasts, how to care?

No clues could be found for a while, and the investigation of the "indigenous" matter came to a standstill. But Chang Zaitian does not intend to give up completely, he believes that as long as these "natives" are real, they will be found sooner or later.

There is a market between the new downtown area under construction in Myeongsen City and the old one, and it is crowded with people every day. There are also all kinds of things bought and sold here, from small needlework and button expired candy to high-level mutant beast materials and armed mechas. It is called a free market at best, a "wild market" at worst, and the official name is a gathering place for unlicensed vendors. In the days before the destruction day, this kind of place was the killing ground of the big city management, the place where smashing and looting were frequent, but now there is really no such scene. Because the vast majority of the traders in the wild market are hunters, and many of them are supported by big forces, after all, there are some things that ordinary hunters can't sell if they want to, such as power armor, which is commonly known as mecha. Hunters are not as easy to bully as civilians before the destruction, and it is unlikely that they will be chased by chickens and dogs, but the possibility of turning into violence is very high. Therefore, the Mingquan government acquiesced in the existence of this wild city, and as long as it did not make trouble, it turned a blind eye, and even planned to formalize it. It is simply unthinkable to put the former in the former.

This is the fourth day that Chang Zaitian has returned to Mingquan after being attacked by the "natives" in the wild, and because of the dead and wounded members of the team, he can't continue to complete the task of collecting the teeth of the Acanthic Eater Gold Rat now, and it is difficult to say whether this task will have a chance to be completed in the future. Of course, Chang Zaitian was not in the mood to care about the completion of this task, and now the most important thing is to find out what the origin of the "natives" who attacked them at that time and why they attacked their own side for no reason. The thought of a powerful enemy lurking out of nowhere, staring at you, is uncomforting. So these days, I've been asking around, trying to find some clues. The wild market is undoubtedly a good choice, there are many people here who may have seen the "natives", and there are also intelligence traffickers who specialize in selling intelligence.

“… Don't put anything in your mouth, even if you are a foodie, you have to be a tasteful foodie, taste! Do you understand! ”

Chang Zaitian, who was inquiring about the intelligence trafficker, suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry from the noisy crowd. Following the prestige, I saw a young man angrily pointing at a little girl of five or six years old, and the little girl ignored the man's accusations, and just looked at the man fixedly while licking the lollipop in his hand. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, as if the young man was defeated, sighed helplessly, grabbed the little girl's hand, gave the stall owner in front of him some money, and then pulled the little girl away. And that stall sells weapons.

It stands to reason that this wild city is bustling with people, and no one is conspicuous in the crowd, but it is indeed very unusual for such a little girl to appear among the strange hunters who are all dressed up, especially her thin emerald green slip dress is difficult not to notice. Hunters usually dress in bright colors, and no one wants to be the center of attention for mutants in the wild, which is not fun at all. Therefore, the emerald green dress of tofu flower is as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the dark night among hunters with a dark gray tone. At the same time, Chang Zaitian also noticed that the little girl seemed to have no other clothes except for the thin dress on her body, and she was barefoot! Thinking that it is now late autumn, the weather is not cold but it is also cold, and it is simply abusive to wear such clothes for the little girl.

In this chaotic era, I have never seen any kind of "demons and monsters" in the sky, and I also know that some people have special hobbies for young children. And the man who is pulling the little girl not far in front of him is probably that kind of person, otherwise, how could someone treat their children or relatives like this, and they don't even wear shoes!

So when the young man passed by Chang Zaitian with the little girl, Chang Zaitian stopped them, pointed at the little girl and questioned the man who was pulling her, "What does she have to do with you?" Why is she only dressed in such thin clothes and barefoot in this weather? ”

The young man who was looking at the goods on the roadside stall was stunned by Chang Zaitian, who suddenly stopped him, and then said in a natural tone: "Relationship, of course it's my pet, do you have an opinion?" ”

"You... You scumbag..."The man who often saw the sky in front of him did not shy away from calling the little girl a pet, and he looked proud of it instead of being ashamed, and was deeply shocked! How can there be such a person, how shameless this person is, how much there is no lower limit, how frustrating he is, and how scumbag he is lifted!

"What? I recruited you, why are you scolding? The young man was inexplicable, and he looked at Chang Zaitian with a nervous expression.

"Let go of this child and give her to me, or I will not only scold you, but also beat you!" Chang Zai Tian righteous awe-inspiring threat.

"Kid?" The young man looked at the little girl beside him who was licking the lollipop intently, and then raised his head to reveal a sudden expression: "Oh, it turns out that you have this hobby, obviously you look dignified, a talent, but you are a hidden bird/beast, it is really unseemly." ”

"That's what I should say!"

Chang Zaitian was about to break out, but before meeting, the man patted the little girl's head with a disdainful expression and said to her: "See, stay away from this kind of guy in the future, in a sense, they are also dangerous." ”

"Ah~" the little girl responded flatly.

The man didn't seem to be satisfied with the little girl's bland reaction, and said angrily: "Hey, don't keep putting on a cute expression that is very good for abduction, if I am really abducted, I will also have a headache, although the probability is very small." DOYOU UNDERSTAND? ”

"Ah~~" The little girl still responded in a monosyllabic without any tone.

"Well, you don't understand!" The man sighed weakly: "In a word, true love life, stay away from strange Shu Xiao." ”

When he said the three words "strange Shu Xiao", the man particularly accentuated his tone, and also set his eyes on Chang Zaitian. This made many passers-by who didn't know the truth look at Chang Zaitian's eyes to change.

"You're squirting blood, I'm not weird—" Chang Zaitian's argument came to an abrupt end, as he saw the young man in front of him smirk that had succeeded in his plan, and at the same time realized that such an argument now seemed to only get darker and darker. At this time, he remembered a sentence he had heard: he can do his hands and try not to be noisy. I didn't agree with this before, but now I suddenly feel that it makes sense.

Just when Chang Zaitian was going to directly slap this sharp-toothed guy upside down black and white and save innocent Lori from the dire situation, the young man smiled and waved his hand and said: "The joke ends here, you don't need to put on an expression of a brave bullfighter, in fact, I'm a good person, really a good person, look at my cute eyes~" While speaking, the man winked at Chang Zaitian, whose expression was already a little dull.

"What did you say?" Chang Zaitian frowned and felt that his brain was a little short-circuited, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong or if the guy in front of him had brain cramps, what the hell is a? What the hell is Meng Mengda?

"Look at your intelligence." The man didn't hide his contempt: "Simply put, this guy who looks like Lori is actually just like, it's actually a monster in Lori's coat." So you don't have to shine your weird halo. ”

Although Chang Zaitian didn't understand it too much, it didn't prevent him from comprehending the disdain. Chang Zaitian, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but say angrily: "So I asked what you were talking about?!" ”

"It doesn't matter what I say, but your weapon won't work if you don't put it away." The young man raised an eyebrow and pointed to the broad-bladed axe, which was often held diagonally at his side.

Chang took a look at the axe in the sky, and found that the little Lori he was about to save had come to him at some point, and his two small hands grabbed the not-so-sharp axe blade and bit it. Chang Zaitian, who was not in a hurry to react, only heard a "rattle" sound, and saw a small crescent-shaped gap left on the hard axe blade.

"This..."Chang Zaitian doesn't know what to say, he is an alloy axe with hardened substance, not a silky "woman" chocolate axe!

In just a moment when he was stunned, little Lori left a second crescent on his precious battle axe. Chang Zai, who came back to his senses, consciously shook the giant axe, wanting to get rid of this Lori-type "axe-eating pest". However, he was surprised to find that this Lori was stuck to the axe like a dog skin plaster, and he didn't shake it off!

"You can't get rid of it like that, you have to be like me..."The young man pinched Lori's neck, put his other hand against the giant axe, and then pulled Lori down with a hard tug, and then took out a lollipop and stuffed it into Lori's mouth with teeth and claws, and she immediately became honest.

After doing all this, the young man patted Lori's head and smiled, "Look, it's just like Lori." After speaking, he pulled Lori and quickly passed by the stunned Chang Zai Tian, quickly slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

When he came back to his senses, Chang Zaitian looked at the two crescent-shaped notches of the same size on the axe blade, and suddenly remembered a question: Who paid for the axe?
