Xinyang Chapter 30. It's just a matter of life
After such a toss, Simon suddenly lost the desire to continue to fill his stomach, the bar is often the most chaotic place in the area, especially the end of the world, the wasteland punk roar accompanied by undisguised moans of men and women, the hunting knife became a toothpick in Peter's hand, the white teeth reflected the white dangling blade, and the young man's hand was very steady, especially steady.
"I'll go out and get some air." Simon knocked on the table irritably, pushing away the dust girl who was constantly trying to rub against his body, and Peter reminded loudly without looking back: "Hey, fool, keep an eye on your wallet!" ”
"Mind yourself, boy!"
At dusk, the cool breeze blows through the gravel-covered streets, and a few quarters of an hour ago it was hot and sweaty, and the cold of the sun goes down will soak the marrow of any unclothed pedestrian. Even against the setting sun, the scorching sun, which has faded away its hypocritical face, still casts the figure intensely and gloomily.
The town guards began to close the walls, Montenegro was never a peaceful place, rotting wolves, hyenas and even bear demons, and when they were very hungry, they would naturally notice that there was a food source at the foot of the mountain, and the era of human domination was gradually gone.
"Bell ~ Bell ~" The remnants of the church bell tower are rhythmically beaten, probably a very small number of people who have not changed their true colors after years of erosion, Simon held the handle of the gun and looked at the spire of the bell tower, as the only commanding height of the town, the bell tower is of course the mayor's territory, Simon has excellent eyesight, and through the freshly lit bonfire, he can see clearly that a 12.7MM anti-aircraft machine gun is placed on the clock tower and blocks the two streets of Blackwater Town.
Under the bell tower is the town government, if Simon has to think so, the sandbag steel plate has covered the traces of the original antique small building, only a little withered vines slightly to cover the bunker, from the perspective of the rangers, there are heavy vehicles to support, and the storming of the town government is nothing more than a round of machine guns, but only light infantry at hand? Ha, the fire of the bell tower can't pass in the first place.
Smelling a hint of spicy smoke on the tip of his nose, Simon looked at the town government with a more playful look.
"Looks like you've got a consensus on where dinner is going." At the head of the long table, Mayor Mare with a tweed yarme hat in his hand, and a Sphynx cat obediently pandering to the Mayor Mare to pet, and not using any living creatures that can walk as food reserves, in this regard, the Mayor Mare is somewhat personable compared to the wasteland mob.
The giant man's belly is very wide, and the countless spirits he poured in the bar before can only be regarded as an appetizer, and the bread piled up on the long table is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Peter has not inherited his father's Titan physique, and his belly is far behind, and what interests the boy the most is pure water, staring at the reflection of the jug as if he has discovered a new world.
Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, considering what kind of meat was too pretentious, Simon bowed his head to the mayor and said, "Then thank you Mr. Mayor for your hospitality." ”
The mayor chuckled, and the Sphynx cat lay lazily in his hat, warmth was no stranger to this pet, watching Simon skillfully use the knife and fork to cut the pieces of meat, but the plate in front of him was empty, and so on until the three of them had wiped out the food.
Jonathan covered his belly and burped, and sighed, "It's been a long time since I've eaten properly, Mayor Mare, and the strong Joe owes you a personal favor." ”
The mayor pressed the bell, and the maid in the long dress quickly cleaned the long table, although only a white light lit up weakly, but this light could mean a lot, such as a generator, such as an electrically powered turret. The light bulb flickered, and the two guards behind the mayor were indifferent.
"There is no such thing as a free dinner in the world, and since we have eaten, Mr. Mayor will go straight to the point." Simon's consciousness has never been low, and Jonathan's two hairy hands are tickling.
Mayor Mare ignored Peter's pouting attempt to seduce the hairless cat, and said, "There's no need to mind a meal, since Mr. Hayes is so cheerful, it would be too contemptible and hypocritical to bend around." ”
"But the contemptible seems to have heard that the three of them had some minor conflict with Mr. Roches of Wyatt Company?"
Behind the mayor stood two guards, all the way into the town hall, Simon saw at least two squads of armed men, and there is a sentence in the Ranger manual that Simon still agrees with: If you want to outnumber, make sure the back road is clear.
So Simon generously put his hands on each other's eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't like to buy and sell, I won, the bet is their life, so can I move on to the next question?" Mr. Mayor? ”
In response, the guards quietly retreated into the shadows, the mayor brushed his sparse horn beard, and the fluorescent lamps obviously couldn't illuminate the huge dining room as if it were day, if Simon hadn't inquired about Mayor Blackwater beforehand, he would definitely think that the little old man on the throne who was squeezed into wrinkles in the darkness was really harmless to humans and animals.
The mayor gripped the bottleneck, and the glass gradually filled with amber bourbon, which was not a bad liquor that could be blended with industrial alcohol and waste water and could be called "whiskey", but a real pre-war good.
"The contemptible people have a lot of trust in the fighting ability of the three, but the three may not particularly understand the strength of the Wyatt mercenary company in the Black Mountain area." The Sphynx cat licked / the omission on the owner's finger belly, Peter gave up and continued to hook up, the cat still has wine to drink, why bother him?
"The thirteen mercenaries you have killed are only a small half of the Wyatt Black Mountain Division. Roches Levenster, who is still well-informed, Jonathan should have fought alongside this man years ago? Then the impression of Wyatt can be understood that it was stagnant a few years ago, so the contemptible people admired you very much, and after killing people and goods, they did not think of running away quickly, but stayed in this town, and the contemptible people happened to remember that there were fourteen of the big soldiers who did business in the morning. ”
"That is, you killed one less." Mayor Mare's Adam's apple slid slightly.
"That ......" Simon's back chilled slightly, knowing the law of ambush and cracking the law of ambush are two different things, once the information of the attack is transmitted back to the Wyatt branch, a sniper thousands of miles away? No matter how ruthless Simon is, it is impossible to open AATS all the time, and he was just about to ask the mayor what conditions he had, but the mayor raised his hand and blocked the conversation.
"Ding-ding." The mayor rang the bell, and the side door of the dining room suddenly opened, and a large black man stumbled in, the guard stepping on his knees, and the scimitar strangled the mercenary wearing the Wyatt red spider.
"Oh, I forgot to say the second half, the contemptible man happens to have some minor personal conflicts with the fourteenth man." The mayor said, though he still looked like an old man who was about to die.
"Someone handed it to me, Mr. Mayor told me the goal of action, and I set off immediately." Simon, who had lost his way out, looked at Jonathan, and the giant man agreed.
The black mercenary's mouth was gagged and he struggled frantically with a "squeak", and the guard responded by stomping his knee. Mayor Marew pushed away the flannel chair and sat down next to Simon.
"Contemptible people appreciate ambitious people, after all, the difference between man and beast is that filling the stomach is not the ultimate goal of human beings, but contemptible people hate ambitious people who think they are smart, like Rochester Levenster, this man is yours, Mr. Hayes."
The corners of Simon's lips were thinned as he pursed them, and he was about to ask the Negro if he was going to deliver the news, but the mayor seemed to be a little disappointed and said, "Mr. Hayes, you are so forgetful, don't move!" I have no ill will. ”
There were three guards at the side door with Uzi submachine guns pointed at Simon, and the mayor pulled out the revolver on Simon's waist and exclaimed, "Good gun!" It's a pity that when he was young, he made his own broken revolver to rely on, and now young people are much luckier. ”
"Pong!" The black man pounced. The mayor motioned for the guards to drag the body away like a fly, then inserted the smoking revolver back into Simon's holster as if nothing had happened, straightened the placket of his clothes, and the Sphynx cat obediently crossed half of the long table to his master. Mayor Mare said, "Wyatt doesn't know anything, now let's get down to business." ”
Task? It's nothing more than selling your life.
Being on the interstate highway is only a secondary reason for the prosperity of Heishui Town, the most important thing is that Heishui Town controls the Black Mountain Water Purification Plant, water purification is the basic survival material of the wasteland, and if the caravan to the north wants to replenish a large amount of water purification, it must pass through Heishui Town, and the pre-war industrial water purification equipment can purify the tertiary water purification that inhibits the incidence of radiation sickness. The income from the sale of water far exceeded the town's taxes, and it was so rich that it purchased anti-radiant to suppress the side effects of radiation sickness, thus establishing as many as fifty first-order guards equipped with automatic thermal weapons, thirty of whom guarded the water purification plant.
Since Blackwater Town itself is the most powerful force in the Black Mountain region, naturally no one dares to worry about the water purification plant, but this situation was broken by the sudden rise of Wyatt Company. The Wyatt Black Mountain Division had more than 120 soldiers, and most importantly, they were heavily armed. What the intention is, it is self-evident.
Allowing the situation to become serious is by no means the style of Blackwater, and the mayor of the town has secretly gathered a considerable force with the intention of striking first. The mayor asked Simon and the others to explore the Wyatt Black Mountain station in advance, and after obtaining information, the people of Blackwater Town will launch a strong attack, and Simon will use it as a sniper to suppress enemy fire from a distance.
The mayor of the town paid him quite well, Simon and Jonathan 2,000 coins each, and the young man Pete was subject to availability. and permanent residency in Blackwater.
"The three don't have to worry about the contemptible eating the black, Ludenhauer will do what he says, in the final analysis, the contemptible people are willing to make money in harmony and integrity, maybe it is not popular now, but the contemptible people unfortunately insist on this."
Then the mayor threw out the final weight: "As far as the people know, there are two armed pickup trucks at Wyatt Station, and after the deed is completed, the three of them can take one with a gun and gasoline." ”
"Deal." If you don't agree, you won't be able to get out of the town government, anyway, it's all for your life, why hesitate?
"Meow." The Sphynx cat crawled to Simon's hand with a soft call.
The mayor arranged the room, Simon stood in front of the window, the planks nailed to the reinforced windowsill, the black mountain loomed at the end of the view, and the door "tuk-tuk" was knocking.
"Mr. Hayes, Mr. Mayor asks if you have any other needs." After getting permission, the maid walked into the room and sent a maid in the middle of the night, what do you need?
"Strip naked." Simon remembered the girl at the bar and said coldly to the maid.
