Chapter 13: The Return

As the sun set, there was still a little afterglow, and two thin figures walked on the muddy roadside, one of them struggling to move step by step, and the other was holding a shoulder.

Both of them were injured after a fierce battle and had to return early.

The heavy tricycle made three deep marks on the road. It's not easy to walk here, so the two chose to get out of the car and push.

Neil's place is not too far from the dump, so the environment here is very harsh, and there is an indescribable smell in the air all year round.

The two of them struggled through a swamp of mud and finally returned to their home in the ruins.

This is the slum of the entire polluted area, adjacent to the wilderness area, which is an absolutely high-risk area, and there are often mutant rat tides similar to the previous ones, and every time the mutant beast tide ends, all that is left is a mess.

"Hey! Neil! In the distance, a figure saw Neil from a dilapidated room and waved his hand, "Neil, here!" ”

Hearing this, Neil was obviously a little unwilling, and it was not easy to refuse, so he walked over helplessly.

"Neil, you're finally back!"

It was a teenager who spoke, he was short and stocky, with dark skin, a large face, fat limbs, and round hands and feet.

"Huh? You're hurt? Seeing that Neil was not in a very good state, the little fat man frowned slightly, and then stretched out and said, "I have red oil here to treat bruises, do you want it?" ”

"Fuck off, if you have something to say, let go of a fart!" Neil slammed his foot on the little fat man's ass and said.

"Well, I picked up a good thing yesterday, can you help me take a look?" The little fat man said happily as he prepared to take something from a box that had just been packed.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, do you have the energy to look at me now?"

The little fat man smiled embarrassedly, and said, "That'...... Why don't I come to you tomorrow? ”

"Better not," Neil pouted.

"I pay, can't I pay? Things are worth money, I'll give you a profit, things don't work, I'll pay you 20 Ghana! ”

"So?" Neil smiled and said, "Yes!" ”

The little fat man smiled and said, "Then it's decided, I can tell you, this time it's definitely a good thing!" ”

After saying that, the little fat man packed up his things and ran away.

"Say it every time." Neil muttered, and then explained a little to Green: "This guy's name is Anglo, don't look at his young age, he is a well-known second-class dealer in our area, and often collects things to sell in market towns. I don't know why, every time someone tries to hit him, the next day they all disappear. Over time, no one here dared to touch him. ”

It seems that this little fat man has a secret.

Green followed Neil all the way, his eyes scanning the buildings on the side of the road. It used to be a small town, and the roadside was full of dilapidated buildings, which looked like it used to be a residential area. However, because of the poor environment, these small buildings have long been unrecognizable and are no longer suitable for human habitation.

Whoosh, several strange creatures foraging for food probed their brains out of a hole.

"These houses, in the past, ordinary people could not afford to live in peacetime, it is said that what kind of villa complex, only rich businessmen can live!" Neil said with some disdain: "Now take a look? An acid rain is enough for this kind of house, see that? ”

Neil pointed to the house that had collapsed on his side and said, "A strong wind blew down, you dare to live in such a house?" ”

Stepping over a car across the road, Green saw the occasional figure walking around in the small buildings, and asked, "Are there still people living there?" ”

"Yes, quite a few." Neil pouted, "The main thing is that it doesn't cost money here, otherwise no one would want to live here." ”

From a distance, Green saw several other people wrapped in rags, leaning against the corner of the leaky wall.

That numb look was similar to what Green had seen before.

"Let's hurry up, these guys are no different from beasts, if they see our harvest, maybe they will come and snatch it!" Neil pulled on his hat and quickened his pace.

Nodding slightly, Green agreed. It wasn't the first time he'd seen them.

Back outside the pipe, Neil untied the cloth tied to the tricycle, revealing the full harvest, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although I was injured this time, the harvest is really good." ”

"If only I had this harvest every time, then I could have purchased the qualification to live in the market town earlier! I'm going to have to rent a bigger house, have a workshop, and buy a bunch of equipment! ”

"There will be a day" Green smiled, and said a very famous sentence of the earth: "People, there must be dreams, if there are no dreams, then what is the difference between them and salted fish?" ”

"Salted fish?" Neil was a little puzzled, "What is salted fish?" ”

"Ugh!" Green was suddenly a little speechless, and he didn't know how to explain to this young man who had never seen a fish, and then changed the topic and said: "Don't care about salted fish, let's set a small goal first, within half a year, earn enough money to live in the market town!" ”

"Good!" At this time, a strong man behind him who was carrying the carcass of a hideous wild boar in one hand shouted: "Go back and wait for me to pass the trial, I will go to the market town to wait for you first!" ”

It was Levi, and Green nodded at him and said hello.

"You're out hunting again?" Neil frowned slightly.

"You two are hurt?" Not hearing the blame in Neil's words, Levi frowned and asked, "Although your kid has soft fists, ordinary people will definitely not be able to take you!" ”

"It's not like there are a few guys who don't open their eyes and open their eyes when they see money. We're hurt, but those guys—" Neil said with his head tilted slightly.

"It's all hurt like this, what is there to be proud of!" Shaking his head, Levi spoke, "Come back to me and get some medicinal wine, don't shirk!" ”

Neil smiled awkwardly, "Okay! ”

"By the way, how is that folding tomahawk repair that you gave you the other day?" Levi asked.

"It's almost repaired, but it's ......" Seeing that Levi frowned a little, Neil hurriedly said: "But I want to see if I can get something good, and I will modify it for you when the time comes!" ”

"Yes, it's worthy of my fancie, how about it, have you found something good?"

"Of course, yes!" Neil pointed to the corner of the tricycle, a small white box, and said, "This is the electric shock module that you just found, just modify it to your axe, and turn back your folding tomahawk can have its own arc effect!" Think about it, when you're attacking, if your weapon can carry an electric shock, how sour it must be? ”

Green thought to himself, among Levi's skills, the tomahawk skills were the lowest, and what he was really good at should be boxing. Is the tomahawk used now to hide clumsiness?

"Yours is yours!" Levi laughed, reached out and patted the wild boar on his shoulder, and then said boldly: "Good luck today, I hunted a wild boar, and I will take you to eat a good meal tonight." ”

Hearing this, Neil's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Green's craftsmanship is very good, I didn't have time to call you last time, this time you must try this guy's craftsmanship!" ”

"Oh?" When Levi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Then I have to taste it!" ”

"No problem, leave it to me!" Green replied with a smile on his face.

"Then I'll go first, see you at the old place, don't forget to come over early." Levi took a step and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"It's time to taste your craft again!" Neil's eyes were a little misty, and he looked like a pig.

The corners of Green's mouth twitched, his craftsmanship was delicious, but he didn't need to look like this, right?

After a long time, Neil came back to his senses and found that he seemed to have lost a bit of a temper just now, and said with a smile: "That, that, I'm just a little gluttonous." ”

"Haha, let's go back quickly, pack up our things first." Green laughed and pointed back at the tricycle.

I secretly said in my heart, young people are good.
