Chapter 210: I'm going to be arrogant

The casino mentioned by the black cat is actually a bar, and after the end of the world, for security reasons, the external portal, windows and passages were closed, an iron gate was opened to the interior of the castle, and the outer perimeter of the building was reinforced.

The bar is called "Bullet" and has a business hall area of about 400 square meters. Bars sell alcohol, but any alcoholic beverages are largely pre-apocalyptic and expensive, luxury goods that only a few people can afford. Most people can only drink a kind of sap collected from certain end-of-the-world plants (equivalent to the root juice in Lin Zaishan's mind) when they get to the bullet. The basic currency used is bullets, but bartering, exchanging and staking other things of value are allowed.

In addition to selling alcohol, the bar also has entertainment such as billiards, card tables, darts and a small boxing ring. In most cases, these facilities are used by guests for gambling at a variety of bets, ranging from bullets to valuables, weapons and equipment, to labor or other content. John's Castle strictly forbids members from fighting in private, with the exception of the boxing ring at the Bullet Bar, with the approval of the bar manager, John's right-hand man, Marcus. Some people take the opportunity of boxing ring gambling to settle personal grievances, win eyeballs or vent violence. There is also a secret corridor inside the bar's business hall, and the corridors lead to several rooms that are considered by the men to be "gentle villages", where female servants are arranged to entertain customers for various reasons, and of course, the prices are surprisingly high. Basically, this corridor is filled with long queues every night.

Due to the lack of post-apocalyptic entertainment, and the need for a recreation of the militants, staff, and a small number of slaves who are over-energetic and idle at night, the bullet bar is of course doing a thriving business.

At this time, it was already 19 o'clock in the evening, and the bar was brightly lit, the music was shocking, and the crowd was crowded.

Lin Zaishan, who was still wearing a slave collar, followed the black cat to the bullet bar. There were two heavily armed guards at the door of the bar, they glared at Lin Zaishan with contempt, and said to the black cat: "If you bring a slave inside, you will be jointly and severally responsible for an accident, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, buddy, my little friend is absolutely well-behaved." The black cat pointed at Lin Zaishan, who looked honest, and smiled, "Besides, didn't you see it, he is a Chinese person, what can a Chinese monkey do in a bar?" ”

The two guards laughed, laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

Lin Zaishan secretly thought: "Isn't it good for Chinese people to abide by the law and be honest when they go out and live in a foreign land, why should they be discriminated against?" It's inexplicable. ”

//////

The two entered the bar and ordered two glasses of rooting juice in the midst of the noise.

"1051, sit here by yourself and don't move, I'll go and say hello to a few old fellows, who knows if I'll be able to see them again tomorrow, right?"

The black cat turned and walked towards a tall, fat middle-aged white man. The other party grabbed the black cat and lifted him up in the air.

Seeing this, Lin Zaishan was about to go over and intervene, when the fat man suddenly hugged the black cat with a friendly smile on his face. "Your cat is still bouncing, and the business of mice has not been doing well lately, right?"

"Don't mention it, life in the tunnel is not something you can imagine as a stone head."

The fat man saw Lin Zaishan looking at this side with concern, and asked the black cat, "Is the Huaxia monkey over there your bitch?" ”

"1051 is a good person, you know, as steady and well-behaved as a big girl."

"Haha! The Chinese people are both cunning and timid. ”

Lin Zaishan saw that the black cat was not in trouble, so he drank the root juice by himself. The juices meant something very different to him than the others in the bar: for the latter, it might just be a mediocre-tasting liquid, with a somewhat comforting effect at best; But for Lin Zaishan, the root juice is not only rich in nutrients and life energy, but also can find a lot of valuable information in it. He tasted the climate and scenery of the nearby mountains from this glass of grounded juice.

A person came to him, sat on a high stool, and said to Lin Zaishan: "Forget the wind and moon around you, a piece of lovesickness is in the wine." Dude, you pour yourself a drink, and you seem to be very melancholy and sad. ”

Lin Zaishan saw a young man with black hair and yellow skin, and asked in Chinese, "Are you also from China?" ”

"Yes, I'm from North China. Dalong, Material Management Department. ”

Lin Zaishan asked him about his origin, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Dalong was actually a fellow villager with him. Dalong came to the United States to work hard after graduating from college before the end of the world, and after entering the end of the world, he was lucky to save his life and became John's deployment. The so-called fellow saw the fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears. The two talked very speculatively, and there was a sense of familiarity at first sight.

"Brother Lin, do you know? Heavy metal John was a famous pop singer in the United States before the end of the world, and he used a large number of fans to establish his position in the early days of the last days and was able to establish this John's castle. ”

"I've seen John work a very powerful sonic ability, he should have other abilities, otherwise it would be difficult to control these evil people with prestige alone."

"Yes, John also has mind control abilities that can instill awe and brainwash people without them knowing." Dalong enthusiastically introduced to Lin Zaishan: "There are more than 300 armed men, more than 500 staff, and more than 1,000 slaves in John's Castle. It can be called the largest force in Los Angeles. ”

"You mean there are other forces in L.A."

"It's all the work of some very small gangsters, they are wandering around, looting resources, and in the absence of a base, sooner or later they will perish."

"Makes sense. But wandering also has its own advantages, at least it is more free. ”

"Brother Lin, it seems that you are not familiar with the current situation of Los Angeles in the last days. To survive in a hell on earth like L.A., you have to resort to demonic means. The backbone of all forces, no matter how big or small, is all extremely vicious, otherwise they will be killed at any time. ”

"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be kind to each other and look out for each other?"

"Brother Lin, what you said is an ideal state, maybe it can be used in Huaxia, but in the last days of Los Angeles and even in the United States, everything is respected by strength. Without strength, there is no trust, without strength, there are no friends, and without strength, there is no unity and cooperation. This is a world where strength is respected, and without strength, it is destined to be oppressed. ”

"Terrible!"

"It's scary." Brother Long sighed: "Although we Huaxia people are smart and have a certain number, we are all good at dividing and not being good at together, and in Los Angeles in the last days, including John Castle, we can't form an effective group at all; In addition, we are all too honest and weak, and we will not escape the fate of being oppressed by other groups. ”

"If we do not provoke anyone, and we do not offend anyone, why should they oppress us? Is there no conscience and no guarantee of order? Lin Zaishan knew that what Dalong said was the truth, but he couldn't help but complain.

"Conscience is only useful to good people, and the guarantee of order is from the top down, and without power and status, it can only be reduced to the object of control; Powerful people don't need to follow too many rules at all. ”

While this is true, it may not be entirely true. I believe that if a powerful person does what he wants and does not follow the rules at all, he will soon squander his aura and resources, and he will end up disastrously. ”

"Brother Lin, let's stop talking about such heavy topics, we came to the bar just to relax."

"Okay."

//////

The two continued to drink root juice and chat. At this time, five more big men came in, all of them stout blacks, they came to the bar in groups, and saw Da Long and Lin Zaishan, one was an ordinary staff member and the other was a slave, so they unceremoniously threatened: "Get out of the way, Huaxia Monkey!" ”

Lin Zaishan didn't want to cause trouble, so he got up and left. Dalong stood up proudly, straightened his chest and said, "This position is what we got first, please go and sit next to it!" ”

The black strong man led by him lifted the dragon up, put it horizontally on the bar, and punched it. The waiter behind the bar didn't buy it, and immediately took his rifle and aimed at the strong man, ordering: "John's Castle strictly prohibits private fights and troubles, if you don't want to die, be good!" ”

The strong man threw away the big dragon, raised his middle finger at him, and mocked in his mouth: "Despicable, hateful Chinese monkeys, all of them are seedless sissies!" Don't have the guts to hide behind Mommy's ass and show your poor little peanut seedlings. ”

Everyone in the bar found it lively, and they all gathered around with great interest, coaxing loudly, and many people shouted after the strong man just now: "Huaxia, sissy!" ”

The hot-blooded dragon climbed down the bar and shouted, "Bastard, I'm going to fight you alone!" ”

The onlookers were in an uproar. Lin Zaishan hurriedly pulled Dalong and persuaded: "Dalong, don't be impulsive. ”

Dalong ignored Lin Zaishan, and shouted at the strong man with righteous words: "You are not allowed to insult us Huaxia people!" Today, I want to go head-to-head with you and let you see the courage of our Chinese people! ”

"What? Did I hear it wrong? The strong man put his right hand to his ear and made a very funny listening gesture, and then asked his companion: "This Chinese monkey wants to find me alone, am I hallucinating?" ”

The companion quipped, "Yes Boss Bright, your black North American is teasing you." ”

The strong man Bright gestured to the size of the dragon like a drama spirit and said, "Won't it? When did my black North American rooster shrink to this point? ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Dalong suddenly grabbed an empty wine bottle and broke it on the bar, took the remaining half and aimed it at the faces of the strong man, and shouted: "Don't talk so much nonsense, if you don't dare to accept my challenge, just get away, and from then on I will see the Chinese people bow their heads and bend down to call grandpa!" ”

"Since you want to die, I will fulfill you." Bright bent his arm and flexed his muscles, "I'm from the 5th group of the hunting team, and I just broke the neck of a level 5 zombie with my bare hands today, what the fuck are you?" ”

So Bright and Dalong asked the bar manager Marcus to sign a duel agreement amid the commotion of the crowd.

Fearing for the safety of his compatriots, Lin asks for help from the black cat and asks if there is anything he can do to stop the duel.

The black cat smiled: "Your Chinese compatriots are looking for their own death, and no one can stop them." ”

As the bar crowd gathers in front of the ring, Marcus pulls out his pistol and fires a bullet, and the fight begins.

Bright put his hands behind his back and said to Da Long with a smile: "Come on, little brother, I'll let you punch me 3 times first, and use your Huaxia Kung Fu to let all of us see each other for a long time." ”

The dragon pounced on him and punched Bright in the cheek, who was still smiling, as if he had been gently touched by a child; The dragon clutched his right hand and cried out in pain, and his two knuckles were broken.

"Go on, Huaxia Monkey!" Bright teased.

The dragon flew out again and kicked Bright in the lower abdomen, only to break the toe again.

Looking at Da Long, who was holding his toes and screaming in the boxing ring, the audience booed and kept coaxing. Someone shouted, "What the hell is this, it's a fucking shame!" "Die, Huaxia Monkey!"

Lin Zaishan sighed, knowing that Dalong couldn't do it, he was about to jump into the boxing ring to save him, when he suddenly felt a hard object against his back. He looked back and saw two of the bar's guards at gunpoint.

"What does that mean?" Lin Zaishan asked puzzled.

"Keep being your good girl and don't try to do anything stupid." One of the guards threatened.

Lin Zaishan was about to argue, but found that Bright had already lifted the dragon high, and then fell the boxing ring with his head and feet.

"Click", Dalong's spine was broken into several sections, and he died on the spot.

"Great Dragon!" Lin Zaishan shouted bitterly, his voice completely covered by the frantic cheers of the audience.

Two bar workers stepped into the ring and cleaned up Dalong's body as if they were cleaning up fruit peels. Bright then flaunted his might for a few more minutes before coming down.

Marcus taunted Bright: "Is it worth being proud of a dignified elite squad leader to kill a Chinese nerd?" ”

Bright didn't dare to be disrespectful to Marcus, and said with a smile: "The weather is too hot, I'll just create a little coolness for everyone." ”

"You've run out of heads-up metrics for this week, so let's be honest and mind yourself and those stupid little boys, who look like they're about to use black roosters to arch the people at the front of the hallway. Don't accidentally start a race war! ”

"Roger."

Lin Zaishan next to him carefully probed Bright with a sense of qi, and the latter suddenly turned his face, focused his vicious gaze on Lin Zaishan, and mocked: "There is even a Chinese monkey here." How? You look at me very sincerely, do you want to be fucked too? Unfortunately, my black North American ran out of safe-condoms. You'll have to wait next week. ”

Lin Zaishan turned around silently. At this time, the black cat had already met his old friend and called Lin Zaishan to leave the bar.

//////

That night, Lin Zaishan went to the second-class slave dormitory assigned to him for 4 people/room, and the 3 slaves in the same dormitory were all old whites, and they were playing cards in the house, and when they saw Lin Zaishan coming in, they teased: "I thought there would be a beautiful woman, but I didn't expect it to be a Chinese monkey." ”

Another smiled ambiguously: "If you can just take it, this Chinese monkey can barely be regarded as a 'beauty'." ”

"That's right, I think his ass is quite tight."

Lin Zaishan pointed to an empty bed and asked, "No one uses this, right?" ”

The person who just said that he was a "beauty" stood up, stood in front of the bed, and said domineeringly: "This bed is mine." ”

Lin Zaishan patiently asked one by one, and it turned out that all 4 beds were occupied by these 3 people.

"Huaxia monkey, you can use this bed if you want, but you have to pay the price."

"At what cost?"

"Money, weapons, valuables, you really can't use your."

Lin Zaishan felt a wave of nausea and turned around and left the dormitory. At the door of the dormitory, he was stopped by the guards on duty at night, "Go back to Huaxia Monkey, slaves are not allowed to run around after 21 o'clock." ”

Lin Zaishan was about to return helplessly, but he saw a group of vicious-looking slaves swaggering out of the dormitory gate, laughing as they walked, "A few little beauties from the catering department were 'wet' tonight, and they actually agreed to go on a date with us in the 'backyard'. Brothers, take advantage of your chance, it's a free blessing! ”

Lin Zaishan pointed to the backs of several slaves who went to pursue "Yanfu" and said to the guards: "Why can they leave at 21 o'clock, but I can't?" ”

"Because you're an Asian monkey, and they're Europeans and Americans."

Lin Zaishan became more and more disgusted by this prejudice, and he was about to refute two sentences, but he saw three yellow-skinned, black-haired slaves leaving the dormitory building in a cluster.

"These people seem to be Asian too, so why can they leave?"

"Because they're Koreans, and you're Chinese."

"To put it bluntly, you are discriminating against us Huaxia people, right?"

"Yes and what? We just want to target you Chinese people. The two guards looked at Lin Zaishan in a provocative tone and gaze.

Lin Zaishan took a deep breath and strengthened his patience.

He pretended to go back to the dormitory, then walked around the bathroom, came to the gate again, threw something to attract the attention of the two guards, and slipped out of the dormitory in an instant.

//////

He knew the importance of being familiar with the environment to survive, so under the cover of darkness, he conducted a reconnaissance of John's Castle as far as he could, and found that the castle was heavily guarded on the outside, and relatively loose on the inside, except for the museum and arsenal where John lived. With Lin Zaishan's current ability, he is not sure that he can escape from John's Castle safely, and even if he does, he can't guarantee that he can survive alone in the dangerous Los Angeles, not to mention that there is a slave collar around his neck that cannot be freed for the time being, according to John's rules, this collar can only be lifted when Lin Zaishan proves that he is a faithful and reliable slave (in fact, he has been fully brainwashed).

"It's a really unfriendly environment for me." Lin Zaishan thought: "I have to think about whether to continue to keep a low profile, or adjust the strategy appropriately, and be 'arrogant' when necessary." ”

He hid in the darkness of the roof, looked around, thought about it, and decided to keep a low profile until his strength was fully restored.

As he was scouting around, he noticed the noise of men and women in the distance, and he approached quietly. On the western edge of the castle, a small, abandoned open-air baseball stadium is overgrown with weeds, and several couples of men and women are "loving each other" in the grass. Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly, turned around and left.

Suddenly, I heard a girl crying out in a frightened voice, "Let go of me, you pervert!" I don't play this kind of game! ”

"Sweetheart, you don't count." A strange male voice smirked.

The girl seemed to be struggling desperately, screaming "help" and then unable to speak, except for the man's incessant laughter.

Lin Zaishan decided not to disturb these mandarin ducks and resolutely left.

//////

That night, Lin Zaishan sneaked to the pipeline group of the maintenance department, used the existing tools and resources in the room to make two simple machetes, and then practiced the knife technique in the room for two hours, so that his ability was significantly restored. And then I lived here.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the black cat came to the pipeline group in a good time, saw Lin Zaishan who was making crossbow arrows, and mocked: "1051, you work so early, do you want to be a model worker?" ”

"It's nothing, I just don't want to be around those perverts in my dorm room."

"You are too naïve, in this world, no one does not change his mind." The black cat said and took out a piece of minced meat from his pocket and asked Lin Zaishan: "Very delicious meat, do you want to eat it?" ”

Lin Zaishan instinctively felt a strong nausea and hurriedly shook his head in refusal.

The black cat said: "That would be a pity. Did you know that the meat belonged to a pretty, sexy first-class maid in the catering department, who was abused to death last night while attending a secret date? The catering department felt that it was a pity to throw away such a beautiful and sexy body as garbage, so it was urgently mobilized early in the morning and processed into small fried meat, and the restaurant was selling hot. ”

"What?" Lin Zaishan was taken aback. Not only was he shocked by this perverted act of eating human flesh, but he also remembered what he had encountered at the baseball field last night, "Could it be that girl who was abused to death?" She was already shouting for help, and I was more than ten meters away, but she didn't make a move. I ......" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but feel like a numb.

"It's not the first time the restaurant has done this, they just cooked a titular Thai chef the other day." The black cat said disapprovingly, "It tastes great, and you'll love it after a few meals." ”

"I don't know how to get along with people who have eaten human flesh." Lin Zaishan replied coldly.

"Then you'd better change yourself quickly." The black cat sneered, "Because in John's Castle, there are not many people who have not eaten human flesh anymore. They can't escape being eaten, either by zombies or rats, or by their own people. In contrast, it's more decent to be eaten by your own people, because they will at least add some spice to your meat. Ha ha! ”

Lin Zaishan's face became more and more pale.

The black cat stiffened his face and scolded: "1051, do you think you are a character? I'm telling you, you're nothing! As John often says, people like you are basically a piece of. And you Chinese people in the last days are completely a piece of! ”

"Watch what you say and do, black cat. Beware that one day there will be a price. ”

"1051, I admit that your skills and craftsmanship are good, but I have seen through you, you are a sissy. Last night, your Chinese compatriot in the bar, although he was a wreck, at least he was still a man. If you want to live a decent and dignified life, stand up and work hard to win everyone's respect with your strength; But the chances are slim, unless a miracle strikes from heaven. I personally advise you, it's better to think more about how to live in humiliation, this is more suitable for a Chinese monkey like you. Keep playing your sissy, good girl. ”

Lin Zaishan sneered, too lazy to pay attention.

//////

For the next two days, Lin Zaishan spent the next two days in silence. He also rarely communicates with the black cat when he is working, the latter is a chatterbox, whether Lin Zaishan wants to listen or not, he always nagging and taunting from time to time.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of arriving at Fort John, while on a routine patrol in the tunnels, a group of cockroaches suddenly jumped out of the darkness and attacked.

Lin Zaishan calmly resisted with two knives, while the black cat was pounced by cockroaches in the gap between changing magazines, and was bitten in multiple places on his arms and shoulders.

"Hurry up and save me, 1051!" The black cat shouted as he wrestled with the large cockroach that was pressing on him.

"Don't you see I'm busy?" Lin Zaishan responded by stomping on the corpse of a cockroach that had already been cut down by him and died no longer with his right foot.

"Please, hurry up dude, I'm going to die soon!"

"You should go to those men who have eaten human flesh to save you, I'm just a sissy." Lin Zaishan pulled out a dagger and began to look for crystals on the cockroach's head.

"1051, I admit it's my fault, I shouldn't have said that nonsense! I solemnly apologize to you! ”

Lin Zaishan walked up to him unhurriedly and stabbed the cockroach with just one sword.

The black cat got up in fright and said to Lin Zaishan: "1051, you are good." I swear that I will never insult and discriminate against you again. ”

Lin Zaishan probed his wound and teased, "It seems that the female cockroach just now has laid her eggs into your body." If nothing else, in a week or so, you'll have a litter of baby cockroaches. Congratulations, mother-to-be! ”

"Ahh The black cat was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "Is this true?" It's horrible! 1051, you must have a way to save me, right? ”

Of course, Lin Zaishan had a way to save him, but he decided to let him suffer a little, and fooled him: "You should believe in the weapons and technology in your hands, and go to the doctor first." ”

"See a doctor? Yes, yes, 1051, you hurry up and accompany me to the emergency department. ”

//////

In the emergency department, the black cat was stopped bleeding, its wounds cleaned, a lot of blood drawn, and injected with an injection. It drained all his savings, and he even advanced his living expenses for the next few weeks.

The next morning, when Lin Zaishan saw the black cat in the maintenance room again, he had already lost a lot of weight, "I'm going to die, I'm really going to die this time." The black cat helped Lin Zaishan and cried, "1051, those old buddies of mine came to visit me last night, guess what they said?" ”

"I'm not interested."

The black cat still insisted on telling him: "They even said that since I am already dying, why don't I donate my body to the kitchen, so that they can still enjoy the hot dogs with young leaf rolls." Their grandsons don't know that Lao Tzu may have cockroach eggs in his body, and if Lao Tzu really dies, he must infect them! ”

"Looks like you're going to have to take a good look at how you make friends."

"1051, I swear, you are my best friend now and in the future!"

//////

After dinner that day, Lin Zaishan had planned to continue sleeping in the maintenance room, but three staff members in charge of the castle's internal security came to find him.

"Raise your hands and don't move." The first person asked coldly, "Where have you gone if you haven't returned home for several days and nights?" Isn't there something shady about it? ”

"I have to be familiar with the business of the maintenance department, so I have been sleeping in the maintenance room." Lin Zaishan replied unhurriedly.

"Your dorm roommate says you own all of these things." The staff threw a large bag on the maintenance table, filled with homemade daggers, finger tigers, homemade cigarettes, wine bottles, and other items, as well as several pieces of women's underwear and stockings full of holes and a smell of stinking.

"I don't even know these things."

"I will punish you according to John's rules." The staff could not distinguish and ordered his subordinates: "Give him 3 electric shocks first, and then 10 lashes." All prohibited items are confiscated! Oh yes, these women's underwear and stockings are not forbidden. ”

//////

At 21 o'clock in the night, Lin Zaishan returned to his dormitory with a pale face, and several perverted roommates were still playing cards.

Lin Zaishan threw women's underwear and stockings full of holes and smelly stockings on their puff cards, and asked, "Is there such a thing as the manager saying that you have accused me of hiding prohibited items?" ”

"So what?" The perverted roommates looked at Lin Zaishan with disdain.

"Good!" Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "I decided to be more arrogant in the future." This historic change begins with you. I'm going to beat you up today, but rest assured, I promise I won't kill you. ”

Immediately there was a pig-killing scream in the dormitory, which lasted until late at night; But no one paid attention to it - well, in the slave's quarters, the screams of killing pigs were not "forbidden". In fact, if you don't have these sounds as "background music" every day, it would be considered lifeless.
