Chapter 18 This is life
Isabel had already learned from her sister that the group she had met on the road yesterday was Glois, and when she heard what Emily said to the servant, she couldn't help but say, "What is he doing here?" β
Emily glanced at Cheng Bin first, and found that Cheng Bin looked calm and did not look surprised, so she said to her sister, "I guess it has something to do with you." She said, "You should have come to explain to me what happened yesterday." β
Isabel still didn't turn the corner, and she asked with a confused expression, "What's the explanation for that?" β
"I'm afraid she has a lot of reasons to explain." Gu Baptism said: "He could well say that he just happened to be passing by. β
He glanced at Cheng Bin, and then said to Isabel: "The two people who brought you here are dead, and no one knows what happened. So now it looks like you killed two of Glois's men for no reason. β
"One." Cheng Bin held the grip of the beer glass with his left hand and said seriously: "The other is that there was a car accident, and he crashed our car." At that time, in the spirit of humanitarianism, we did not give up the rescue plan because the car was damaged, and carried out specific actions, but after inspection, the person was already dead on the spot, and the meaning of rescue was lost, in order to avoid another accident on the road at night, so we gave up the rescue and returned to the city first. β
"As for the other man," he said, "he suddenly opened the door of the car where we were, and was armed with a weapon, and I judged that he had a clear intent to attack, so I fired the gun in advance." β
He looked at Gu Zhen and said very seriously, "So I think that Mr. Glois still needs to explain why his men would invade other people's territory in an aggressive posture and speed on the highway without authorization, threatening the lives of unspecified people in a dangerous way. β
Gu Xian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng Bin, who had just been full of professional legal vocabulary, with a complicated expression, in fact, there were several words in the string of words that Cheng Bin said very slippery just now, and he didn't even understand several words in it.
"The way you look reminds me of those lawyers who cheat money by playing with the law." Gu Baptism said. He couldn't judge whether what Cheng Bin said was correct, and he didn't want to show weakness, so he could only take the initiative to divert the topic.
Cheng Bin smiled, unconsciously stroked the fingers of his left hand on the rough surface of the glass beer glass, and said lightly: "At least there must be a stable enough environment to have a chance to play with the law." β
"That's why there are no laws in the wasteland." Cheng Bin looked at Isabel's expression and was surprised to find that it was obvious that she understood, so he explained to her.
It was only at this time that he finally realized the difference between Isabel, who was born into a large family, and the small families in the town of this era, although she was not in the world, but she was obviously well-educated, and it was even very likely that the two guys who were easily killed by Cheng Bin had a higher level of education than Gu Baptism.
It's just clear that the skills they learn in the city don't particularly help them with how to survive in the wasteland.
"So forget what I just said." Cheng Bin continued to say to Isabel: "I can shoot without any scruples, not because I think I can win in court, but because there is no law in the wasteland, and the vast majority of bad people in the wasteland have not experienced trial before death. And Glova didn't come with a truckload of people to catch me, and only because your sister has the strength he needs to scruple about, and he doesn't want to go to war. β
He spread his hands lightly and said, "All this is only related to strength. In the wasteland, there is no place for the law! β
"I can't help but interrupt you when you say that." Gu Zhen coughed lightly and said, "After all, I'm the sheriff here. Then he blinked and said self-deprecatingly, "Although theoretically, I don't have the authority to enforce the law outside of town." β
Obviously, after Cheng Bin continuously showed off his skills, he was ready to give up the dissatisfaction caused by Cheng Bin giving up his offer and turning around to accept Emily's commission.
Emily understood what he meant, chuckled, and said to Cheng Bin, "What did you just say......" She hesitated for a moment, and repeated Cheng Bin's words just now, "'Use dangerous methods to threaten the lives of unspecified people', does this sentence have any special meaning?" β
Cheng Bin glanced at her deeply, shook his head and said, "Just talk about it casually." He said a little melancholy: "Just say it casually, don't care." β
Blake chuckled lightly, and lost no time in expressing his contempt for Cheng Bin's casual nonsense, but the other few people ignored him, it was obvious that Cheng Bin didn't look like he was talking casually just now, and only a guy like Blake would believe that at least Isabel was ready to have the opportunity to return to Komsomolsk, so she would go to the big library to check the relevant information.
Compared to her sister's pure academic curiosity, Emily obviously has more things to care about. She looked at Cheng Bin and asked, "The way you speak...... she said, "Let me think you are well-educated, have you ever been to the royal capital?" β
Cheng Bin smiled, "You said New York? He shook his head and said, "I heard that it was built on the foundation of the metropolis of the pre-world era. β
He affirmed, "No, I haven't been to New York yet." β
"Does that mean you're going to go in the future?" Emily didn't doubt Cheng Bin's strange expression, in fact, logically speaking, it was normal for Cheng Bin not to have been to New York, because from the wasteland to the king, you need to pass through the Great Lakes region, otherwise you have to pass through the radiation area of the desert, and vice versa.
For a civilian, these two paths are equally dangerous, and it is almost impossible to cross them on foot, unless he can assemble a strong team.
So she suggested to Cheng Bin with great interest: "If you can serve the Konstantin family all the time, then I think this wish can be easily realized." β
She is the mistress of the Konstantin family, although she has never been to the royal capital, but that is because she does not want to go, if she wants to, there is every reason to ask the Konstantin family for help.
It's a pity that Cheng Bin just laughed and didn't continue the topic.
Isabel, who had been pondering deeply, suddenly spoke: "In this case, wouldn't the death of those two people yesterday be completely meaningless? β
She said to Cheng Bin: "They have paid for their lives, but even the value of this kind of sacrifice depends on how others explain it?" β
Speaking of this, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and she said blankly: "Then what is the meaning of their lives?" β
Emily was stunned for a moment, not answering the question immediately. Gu Bapt looked at Isabel with a smile, obviously not helping Emily teach the little girl. Blake's face showed a hint of disdain, obviously thinking that Isabel's idea was too naΓ―ve, if it weren't for the fact that she was a little beauty and Emily's sister, I was afraid that she would be ridiculed.
After a moment of silence, Emily said cautiously, "That's why we need to work hard to grow ourselves." She said, "Don't let the blood of the people around you be shed in vain." β
Isabel was obviously not impressed by this reason, she turned her gaze to Cheng Bin and asked stubbornly, "What do you say?" β
"Let me say it." Cheng Bin said slowly: "Although it's a pity, I'm afraid this is life!" β
