Chapter 2: The Way of Life

After eliminating the most dangerous opponent, Zhou Zhen fired two more shots, the bandit with the semi-automatic rifle was shot in the right shoulder, and fell off the horse, another guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, jumped off the horse, ran to pick up his gun, was immediately shot in the calf, and the two lay on the ground side by side and rolled and howled.

The other ten men all bowed their bodies and urged their horses to speed up and charge towards them.

Zhong Xiaoguang was looking at the blood surging, and Zhou Zhen kicked him on his stomach: "Move back one meter." ”

"Then I can't see..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately took another kick, and he had to crawl backwards, and as soon as he retreated less than half a meter, several gunshots rang out one after another from the opposite side, and a bullet hit the position in front of him.

"Old Zhou, do you know how to tell fortunes?"

Zhou Zhen ignored him and fired four shots at the bandits in a row, and after a few seconds, the gunfire on the opposite side stopped, leaving only screams.

"Alright, come back."

Zhong Xiaoguang hurriedly climbed back to his original position and raised his binoculars, in his field of vision, six injured bandits were lying in the grass and struggling, and the rest were lying in the saddle at a loss, not daring to take half a step forward, for fear that the next person to be shot would be himself, and he didn't dare to take half a step back, leaving his back to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Zhen pulled the bolt, and there was still one bullet left inside.

He handed the rifle to Zhong Xiaoguang, who took it and stroked it up and down in his arms.

"Are you sick? That's my gun, not your wife. ”

Zhou Zhen looked at him with the eyes of a mentally ill patient: "Will you shoot?" ”

Zhong Xiaoguang stopped the indecent assault on the rifle with an embarrassed face, and put on a prone shooting position: "Yes, there is a shooting class in the internship training, but I haven't obtained a gun license yet." ”

"It's okay, I shouldn't need you to shoot, just aim well."

Zhou Zhi stood up as he spoke, then raised his hands above his head.

"What are you doing, Lao Zhou?"

Zhong Xiaoguang was confused by his actions, and he had never heard of the victorious side raising his hand to surrender.

"Shut up and aim well, and if someone is ready to do it later, you can shoot, don't hit people or horses, just let it go."

With that, he took a few steps back with his hands raised, mounted his chestnut thoroughbred, and galloped under the viaduct.

Not far from the bandits, Zhou Zhen slowed down the horse, and the remaining six bandits seemed to have seen a ghost, and every time Zhou Zhen took a step forward, they pulled the reins of the horse and took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, let me come, I don't have a gun."

Zhou Zhen spread the reins and spread his hands, slowly approached the bandits, and walked in front of them until the bandits straightened up from their horses, and the six people were all scared and confused, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Zhen's gourd.

"You, don't come here, what are you going to do?"

A slightly bolder bandit asked in a loud voice, the crossbow in his hand raised slightly, and then quickly lowered it.

Zhou Zhen took out a cloth bag from the saddle bag and shook it at him: "Your leader is dead, the kid who picked up the gun is injured in the leg, and the other people I hit in the shoulder, all of them are penetrating injuries, it's okay, do you have medicine?" ”

"No, no."

The bandit shook his head in confusion, and a strange thought probably flashed through his mind, could it be that this person was selling medicine? Hurt people first and then sell drugs at a high price? So he added inexplicably: "But we don't buy medicine, don't think about blackmail." ”

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment when he said this, what strange experience has this guy encountered? But after thinking about it, he still threw the cloth bag over: "There are hemostatic drugs and bandages in here, hurry up and bandage your brothers, you six people and six horses, just bring six wounded, you should be able to go back." ”

The bandits were a little suspicious, they didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, and let the cloth bag fall in the grass, Zhou Zhen sighed and pointed to the armor mouse logo on his T-shirt.

"It's free, I just want to change my peace, it's all from the Armored Rat company to wear this kind of clothes, remember to make way when I see it in the future."

The bandit lay on his horse and looked at his T-shirt carefully, then relaxed his guard slightly, dismounted and picked up the cloth bag, opened it and looked at it, confirmed that it was indeed a medicine, and hurriedly beckoned his companions to rescue the wounded.

Zhou Zhen couldn't cry or laugh a little, did the peaceful era last a little too long, and even the gangs were no longer strong, so they were afraid of being blackmailed?

Pulling the reins and about to turn away, the bandit stopped him again, first thanked him solemnly, and then took out the portable terminal to take a photo of his T-shirt, Zhou Zhen felt a little embarrassed, so he had to take advantage of his lack of words while he was taking pictures: "You are very interesting, what is your name?" ”

The bandit put down the terminal and stretched out his hand to Zhou Qian: "H. Abdulaevich, what do you call it?" ”

Zhou Zhen regretted that he asked this sentence too much, the name was sloppy and difficult to remember, but he still bent down on the horse and shook H's hand: "The name is also quite interesting, my name is Zhou Zhen." ”

After H finished taking the photo, Zhou Zhen turned the horse's head and ran out for a while, remembering that he was stirred by H, and his meaning didn't seem to be fully expressed, so he turned around and added in a cold tone: "H, what is it, help me bring a message to General Bernard, if I hear that the bandits robbed my colleagues in the future, as long as there is one time, I will definitely kill you one by one." ”

Less than a minute after returning to the viaduct, Zhou Zhen returned to his previous lazy state, with a fisherman's hat covering his face and a cigarette in his mouth, urging Zhong Xiaoguang to complete the reconnaissance mission.

Zhong Xiaoguang is now completely convinced of Zhou Qian, and no longer mentions any company regulations, within five minutes, he not only reconfirmed the number of unemployed people and weapons and equipment in the light of science and technology, but also estimated their violations, energy quotas, recorded while reconnoitring, and wrote a detailed reconnaissance report, signed Zhou Qian.

"Lao Zhou, the reconnaissance is over, I sent the reconnaissance report to your mailbox, you can take a look."

Zhou Zhen snuffed out the cigarette, took out the portable terminal and looked at it, the reconnaissance report was written in detail, and he also put forward revisions to the action plan, and he couldn't find any fault, and when he saw his signature at the end, he clicked the delete button, and he never wrote a report.

"Well, it's not too fat, but it's also a piece of meat, let's go."

He picked up the cap from the ground, dusted off the soil and threw it back to Zhong Xiaoguang, then raised his legs and stepped on the horse's back.

Deep down, in fact, he admires Zhong Xiaoguang very much, this kid is a natural killer, and his desire to fight and kill is extremely strong, but at the same time, he can maintain rational restraint and will not let this desire affect his judgment of the situation, which reminds him of himself who just joined the army during the energy war.

"It's a pity"

Zhou Zhen lowered the brim of his hat and sighed faintly.

...

The roads of the old town were more difficult to walk than in the wilderness, with mottled concrete pavements and bushes, trampled by horses' hooves, and from time to time a frightened hare or a grass snake would emerge from the road, which would neigh and kick the two horses in fright.

Gradually approaching the building, Zhou Zhen found a back alley, beckoned Zhong Xiaoguang to ride in and tie the horse, and the road behind needed to be walked.

For the unemployed, energy hunters are poisonous snakes and beasts, and the devil knows if they will put cold guns and arrows in the dark, and people may survive if they are injured, and if the horses are injured, they will definitely die in the city.

After tying up the horse, Zhou Zhen untied the saber and hung it on his waist, pulled out the rifle from under the saddle, withdrew the last bullet in it, stuffed it into an empty magazine, filled it with four bullets, and then carried the rifle on his back.

"Old Zhou, don't you bring more bullets?"

Unlike the gangsters he encountered just now, the unemployed in the light of science and technology are poorly equipped, but there are many of them, which makes Zhong Xiaoguang a little worried, he has a crossbow hanging on his chest, and the quiver on his waist is full.

"No, the resistance should not be too strong, the unemployed are a bunch of cowards who lack courage, otherwise they would not be unemployed."

Zhou Zhen walked up to him as he spoke, took out a crossbow arrow from the quiver and threw it on the ground: "Idiot, arrows can't be stuffed so densely, it's easy to pull one out and bring out a bunch." ”

...

Zhou Zhi swung his saber and cut a path through the bushes that filled the streets, getting closer to the light of the target's technology, he could already see the arrows and muzzles of the guns aimed at them.

Zhong Xiaoguangxiao followed behind him, looking around with a crossbow, like a wolf that only smelled blood and searched for prey.

"It's almost within range of the crossbow arrows."

Zhou Zhen stopped, looked around, and then pointed to a collapsed wall not far away and instructed Zhong Xiaoguang.

"This is the end of the child walk, you go to the fence and stand by, and if anyone escapes from the building, shoot them immediately."

Zhong Xiaoguang was disappointed in this arrangement, he didn't help the bandits fighting, and the hunting unemployed were about to be kicked out again.

"Lao Zhou, I'm not a kid anymore, among this batch of interns, I have the highest score in each subject, and I want to participate in hunting operations."

"Well, I've read your resume, hide by the wall and think slowly."

Zhou Zhen coldly rejected Zhong Xiaoguang and walked towards the building by himself.

Zhong Xiaoguang had no choice but to touch the wall and squat, then angrily raised the unwound crossbow and pulled the trigger at Zhou Zhen's back.

Zhou Zhen took a few steps forward, and there was a gust of wind in his ears, he turned sideways slightly, and a crossbow arrow flew over his shoulder, and the arrow hit the concrete floor, making a crisp sound of "bell".

"Come!"

Zhou Zhen roared, the rifle was already in his hand, raised the gun, aimed, shot, all in one go.

Gunshots echoed between the buildings, and a stream of blood erupted from the window where the cold arrow hit.

He didn't slow down in the slightest step, deftly rounding a few bushes and aiming for another window.

Just as his finger was about to pull the trigger, a woman's heart-rending cry suddenly came from inside the building.

This made him feel a palpitation and his fingers tremble violently.

"Isn't it time to retire?"

He muttered to himself.

He fought three years of energy warfare, and after being discharged from the army, he participated in thousands of assassinations and hunting operations, and with each corpse he made, his heart hardened until his heart was like a stone.

Now that his body is not aging, but his psychology is aging, he is not afraid of killing, but he is afraid of crying, and every cry he makes with his own hands will soften his heart.

In a flash, a few more crossbow arrows flew in, accompanied by a few gunshots.

The accuracy of the handmade musket is extremely poor, there is no need to worry at all, with his years of practical combat experience, it is not difficult to avoid crossbow arrows, to put it in the past, this is completely without the help of the parasitic system.

But now he can only serve old age, and the brain sends out conscious instructions, and the parasitic system responds immediately, quickly regulating the levels of adrenaline and endorphins secretion.

The finger that pulled the trigger stabilized, and the heartbeat returned to normal.

He fired two more shots in quick succession, one window spewing blood, and the other window tumbled over a corpse, and the cries became even more piercing, and there were women and children in the building.

The palpitations hit more intensely, and Zhou Zhen felt that his whole body was trembling, but fortunately, no crossbow arrows were fired, and no gunshots rang out.

"Listen to the unemployed inside, I'm coming in, and those who don't want to die will gather on the first floor."

He commanded in a loud voice, but his tone was less like a command and more like a pleading.
