Chapter 102: A Strange Mr. Zou (Happy Chinese New Year)
"Heh, this kid should be stupid by us." Seeing Zhao Xiaochuan standing a little stupidly in place, motionless, Yang Cheng suddenly smiled disdainfully. After all, a team of gun-wielding shelter guards is still a terrifying existence in the eyes of some hunters.
"Captain Yang, it's not good for you to be like this, you have to know that all men are created equal!" When Mr. Zou heard this, he immediately glared at Yang Cheng with a look of displeasure, and then walked towards Zhao Xiaochuan with a smile on his face: "Young man, I'm sorry, we really want to ask you about some important things, and we can't delay you for too long." β
Yang Cheng: "......"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "......."
All men are created equal?
Do you hear this speak in human terms?
Even Zhao Xiaochuan, who has lived in the town since he was a child, is used to seeing all kinds of bullying and fear of the hard, those people at the bottom are born to just want to live, as for equality?
Scold.
Not to mention now, even before the cataclysm, was there really such a thing as "equality"?
"Don't be afraid, young man, I'm not like those guards." And Mr. Zou naturally wouldn't guess what Zhao Xiaochuan was thinking, he looked at Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes were still a little strange, the whole person was silent, and it was natural to understand it as "scared", and he actually relieved a few words before asking: "Where is the hunting team you are in?" And what about the other hunting squads in town? I remember when I left town a week ago, the neighborhood was full of hunting squads. β
"My hunting squad?" Zhao Xiaochuan's expression became more and more strange, and he found that the uncle in front of him seemed to be a little interesting, at least that naΓ―ve spirit that others would never imitate.
"Yes, what about your companions?"
"I don't have a companion, and I don't have a hunting team to belong to."
"Huh? Could it be that your hunting team doesn't want you anymore? Or were they all killed in the middle of the hunt? When Mr. Zou heard this, he immediately looked sympathetic, and said with relief: "It's okay, you are still young, as long as you train hard, if you can become a martial artist, you can still join other hunting teams." β
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaochuan was slightly stunned, he actually heard a trace of heartfelt concern from Mr. Zou's words.
Zhao Xiaochuan suddenly discovered that this Mr. Zou is not just "Han", there is a more terrifying existence in him than Han.
If I had to describe it, it would be "kindness". But you know, the word kindness is not a compliment in this era. If it was just a concern, the old bald head also cared about Zhao Xiaochuan, and even said that Mark would care about Zhao Xiaochuan, but for the care of the two of them, Zhao Xiaochuan would not feel wrong.
Because no matter what the situation, human beings are sentient creatures, and not everyone can be ruthless and cold-blooded, and they don't recognize their relatives. And the old bald head and Mark's concern for Zhao Xiaochuan comes from getting along and their relationship over the years, but if it is replaced by a person who has never known each other, the old bald head and Mark will not show the slightest kindness to them.
But this Mr. Zou is different, in his body, he seems to have a kind of "death" character in this era - he is naturally kind, even if he is not familiar with people, he also reciprocates kindness.
"You... How did you get to where you are now? β
"Huh?" Faced with Zhao Xiaochuan's rhetorical question, Mr. Zou looked confused.
"Ahem, it's okay, since you want to know, then I can answer you. The other hunting teams you asked, at this time, there should still be a large number of hunters..."Zhao Xiaochuan said, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and his eyes were full of playful expressions, he suddenly found that this Mr. Zou and his quality called "kindness" were a little out of place with this world, making him feel very uncomfortable, but they were not annoying.
And from the information I got before, it is very likely that this person came here from Vault 77, and the staff in charge of the trial may be able to get more information from him.
Even if it doesn't work, it definitely doesn't hurt to get in touch with him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaochuan grinned, leaked a mouthful of neat teeth, smiled brightly, and said very honestly: "They should still be working hard in the old bald bath now." β
"Old bald bath?" Mr. Zou suddenly rejoiced in his eyes: "Great, thank you, young man." Captain Yang, let's go to this bath now, gather all the hunters, and ask them if anyone knows the beast we are looking for! β
"That's... Mr. Zou, this old bald bath is not very convenient to go to, and if you go to the old bald bath to find those rough people, they will not tell you what you want to know. Yang Cheng glared at Zhao Xiaochuan fiercely with a black line on his face, as if he was blaming Zhao Xiaochuan for telling Mr. Zou this information.
"Huh? Why is it inconvenient to go? Mr. Zou had a puzzled expression.
"yes, why isn't it convenient to go?" In the face of Yang Cheng's fierce eyes, Zhao Xiaochuan was not afraid at all, but smiled happily: "It just so happens that I am also going to the old bald bath, do you want Mr. Zou to come with me?" β
"That's great!" Mr. Zou didn't care about Yang Cheng's dissatisfaction, and his face was excited: "What do you call the little brother?" β
"Just call me Zhao Xiaochuan."
"Little Brother Zhao, please lead the way." Mr. Zou looked happy, and even showed a look of impatience in his eyes, and directly stepped forward to pull Zhao Xiaochuan and walked towards the town.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng in the back couldn't stop it, so he had no choice but to keep up with Mr. Zou and Zhao Xiaochuan, but a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his mind: "Zhao Xiaochuan? The name... How does it sound familiar? Have any of you heard this man's name? β
"Zhao Xiaochuan?"
"Report to the captain, I haven't heard of it."
"It should be a hunter in the town, judging by his age, he is not a martial artist, so he shouldn't be very famous."
The guards next to him shook their heads, saying that they had not heard of Zhao Xiaochuan's name.
After all, although Zhao Xiaochuan was well-known in the town before, for the guards of the shelter, he was just a small minion, so naturally no one would pay attention to him.
"Yes, it's just an inconsequential hunter, but why..."Yang Cheng frowned slightly, and he was even more puzzled in his heart: "I'm sure I've heard his name somewhere, but why is the name of a little hunter remembered by me?" And just a little hunter, he dared to look me in the eye, as if he... Not very scared of me! β
