The bandit's mount is a Shire horse, tall and strong, with four legs thick like a stone pillar, and it is effortless to carry three people, the disadvantage is that the speed is really not flattering, the Shire horse is a typical service horse, usually used as a pack and pull goods, rarely ridden, even passenger carriages do not use it.

Zhong Xiaoguang couldn't understand how this guy could ride such a valuable horse in front of the bandits.

Fortunately, when he was out of the encirclement, he coerced the bandits and ordered the bandits not to chase, but the bandits were very obedient, leaving only two people to follow from afar, and the rest of the bandits were all scattered.

After riding a few kilometers, Zhong Xiaoguang pushed the bandit off his horse, pointed a gun at him and asked him to put Su Jian down, and forced him to apologize to Su Jian.

The bandit did without hesitation, after Su Jian took off his hands and feet, he sat on the ground and was stunned for a long time, Zhong Xiaoguang also wanted to apologize for frightening her, but the bandit didn't give him a chance at all, he actually fell to his knees, wow wow burst into tears, and tears washed the oil paint on his face.

After Su Jian recovered his senses, he stood up silently, and suddenly pulled out his rifle from under the saddle and aimed it at the bandit.

"Miss Su, you..."

Before Zhong Xiaoguang's words fell, Su Jian had already pulled the trigger......

The gunshots did not go out, but the bandits were so frightened that their cries stopped abruptly, and their crotches were wet.

"You forgot to pull the bolt......"

Zhong Xiaoguang stepped forward, gently held Su Jian's hand, and slowly removed the rifle.

Su Jian's emotions immediately got out of control again, "I'll kill you!" She screamed and punched and kicked the bandits.

Zhong Xiaoguang didn't stop it, and when Su Jian vented his tiredness and sat back on the ground, he apologized timidly: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I used you as bait just now." ”

Su Jian looked up at him, shook his head breathlessly, and said, "No, it's okay, I know, you're here to save me." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang untied the kettle from the saddle bag, shook it and opened it to smell it, before handing the kettle to Su Jian: "Then you drink some water first and rest for a while." ”

"Thank you."

Su Jian took the kettle, tilted her neck and poured a little water into her mouth, avoiding the contact between her lips and the spout of the kettle.

Zhong Xiaoguang saw that she had regained her elegant state, and nodded reassuringly: "Then you rest for a while, and I'll talk to this guy." ”

"Let's talk?"

Su Jian choked on the water in her mouth and coughed, and her hand holding the kettle trembled a little.

Zhong Xiaoguang thought that her anger had not subsided, so she hurriedly squatted down to help her pat her back, she avoided it sideways, smashed the kettle at the bandit, and gritted her teeth and said, "He, he deserves to die." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I know, I know, but I have to ask a few things first." ”

Su Jian coughed loudly and turned her body on her back with both hands.

Zhong Xiaoguang pulled the bandit by the collar, dragged him ten meters away from Su Jian, pulled out his hunting knife, and stuck it hard into the ground between his legs.

The bandit let out an exclamation and rubbed his butt back half a meter.

"You answer whatever I ask, I don't want to hear half a word of nonsense."

Zhong Xiaoguang's hoarse voice was like a blunt knife, filing the bandits' nerves that had been sharpened by fear.

Then, he got straight to the point and asked, "Why are you pretending to be gangsters?" ”

The bandit was stunned for a moment, his face as pale as paper: "You, what did you say?" ”

Zhong Xiaoguang sneered, pulled out a hunting knife from the ground, and grabbed his ear: "The ear is blocked?" Can I help you unblock it? ”

The bandit grinned in pain: "I, I don't, we are, it's the bandits." ”

"It looks like it's blocked."

Zhong Xiaoguang cut off half of his ear with a knife and threw it away: "What am I asking?" ”

The bandit's face was bleeding, covering his ears and howling: "You, why are you pretending to be a gangster, you asked." ”

"Well, what is your answer?"

"We..."

The bandits could not answer, and began to scream.

"You're not a gang member at all, so you don't need to defend yourself."

Zhong Xiaoguang wiped the blood stains on the knife on his clothes, patted his face, and said with a smile: "First, I have never seen a bandit call itself a bandit, and second, when you were kidnapped by me, your subordinates shouted everything, but none of them called you sir." ”

"I..."

The bandit's screams were a little quieter, he looked at Zhong Xiaoguang blankly, and after a while, he turned to sobbing: "I, we, yes, are entrusted by others." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang's brows furrowed: "Entrusted by whom?" ”

The bandit stammered: "I, I don't know him, that man, he gave us energy cards, guns, horses, let us rob this carriage, he didn't say who he was." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang looked at him and felt that he didn't look like he was lying, so he asked again, "He asked you to pretend to be a gangster?" ”

The bandit hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, these clothes were also given to us by him, we, we are just unemployed, and we live in the ruins of the flat city near A01." ”

Jobless? Zhong Xiaoguang suddenly felt a chill in his back, he remembered the Light of Science and Technology mission he participated in, and Jiro Oshima had also used the unemployed to blame Zhou Zhen for stealing energy cards and massacring the unemployed.

The man behind the carriage robbery this time used a method that is so similar to Jiro Oshima, but who will harm himself? What is the purpose behind this, he really can't guess.

"What else did he say?"

Zhong Xiaoguang needed more details, and he didn't want to get into the predicament of Zhou Zhen at that time.

Seeing his strange expression, the bandit seemed to have softened his attitude, and hurriedly poured out like grasping a life-saving straw: "He said that he was looking for a wrecked carriage near here, and there were two people in the carriage, and they wanted us to rob the woman in the car under the guise of robbing property, and the real target was the woman in the car, and he wanted us to rob this woman, but we were not allowed to harm her." ”

"What about the others?"

The bandit lowered his head: "He... He didn't say..."

Zhong Xiaoguang snorted, Zhou Zhen's judgment of the unemployed was right, these guys are all soft bones, they don't dare to kill people, if it is really a gangster, the four coachmen will definitely die.

Another question suddenly came to his mind: "You just said that he asked you to look for the wrecked carriage, that is, you didn't blow up the carriage?" ”

"That's the carriage of Nunn Logistics! Where do we dare? ”

The bandit couldn't help but shake his head, and the blood on his ears splashed everywhere: "Among the unemployed brothers who came with us, there is a former employee of Nunn Logistics, he said that the structure of the special carriage is very strong, and it is impossible for ordinary explosives to blow it up, not to mention..."

"What's more?"

The bandit swallowed and said tremblingly: "If we want to blow up, I mean if, we will also blow up the horses, and we will not be stupid enough to blow up the heavily guarded carriage... I just said it casually, and I didn't plan to do so. ”

Zhong Xiaoguang's head buzzed, and he actually ignored this, which shows that there are people in Nunn Logistics who are making trouble...

He looked at Su Jian, could there be any grudge between her and Nunn Logistics?

Zhong Xiaoguang couldn't figure out the reason why Nunn Logistics blew up the car, and he couldn't ask anything more from the bandits' mouths.

"How many people are there at your gathering point?"

He asked instead.

"More than three hundred."

The bandit looked at Zhong Xiaoguang with pleading eyes.

Zhong Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, call the two people who are following us over." ”

The bandit stood up and waved his hand, as if he had been pardoned, and the two stalkers had been paying attention to this place, but they had been far away and did not dare to approach, when they saw the leader waving to them, the two of them exchanged ears for a while, one stayed where he was, and the other galloped over.

The stalker dismounted in front of them, ran over and grabbed the bandits, and shouted, "Brother, are you okay?" What's the matter with the blood on your face? ”

Zhong Xiaoguang frowned slightly, these two turned out to be brothers, which would make the next thing a little difficult.

"Do you want to keep the three hundred people in the gathering place?"

Zhong Xiaoguang asked.

The brothers looked incredulous, as if they didn't believe that the enemy in front of them would help them.

Zhong Xiaoguang said to the stalker: "Well, you must catch up with the big army later, and then throw away the horses, bandit uniforms, guns and ammunition, the farther away the better, and after returning to the gathering point, throw away the energy card, and don't use it again for a while." ”

The stalker nodded repeatedly: "If you don't say we'll throw it away, I really regret listening to that person." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang sighed: "Now that it's too late, it's too late to regret it." ”

After that, he looked at Su Jian's back, then turned to the bandit and said, "You have told me too many things, and you have been communicated by the people of Nunn Logistics, they will not let you go, if you go back like this, it will bring disaster to the gathering point." ”

The bandit was shocked: "Then, I run away, I hide." ”

Zhong Xiaoguang shook his head: "That person will think that the person from the gathering point has hidden you." ”

The bandit seemed to understand something, knelt down on his legs, grabbed the corner of Zhong Xiaoguang's clothes, and opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound.

Zhong Xiaoguang looked at the follower with a gloomy face, and the follower gritted his teeth and pinched his thigh, and then pulled his brother's hand away from Zhong Xiaoguang's body.

Zhong Xiaoguang walked around behind the bandit and slit his throat with a hunting knife.

Blood splattered on his face, the smell of fish filled his nose, he remembered himself a few months ago, when he would be excited about the smell of blood, like a hungry wolf, but I don't know if it was because of Zhou Zhen's shot, or because of the fierce battle in the maintenance tunnel, he only felt that the smell was extremely disgusting...

He thought he might have changed, but he didn't have a definite answer as he grew into a wolf who weighed the pros and cons, or into a carrion-hungry armored rat.

He put away his hunting knife, patted the weeping follower holding his brother's corpse, and said sadly: "Don't take his body back and throw it on the special delivery road of Nunn Logistics." ”

With that, he walked in the direction of Su Jian and didn't look back at the two of them.
