Chapter 100: Veteran
"Let's go!"
The fat man waved his hand and led the group against the wall and submerged into the depths of the alley. Along the way, they picked deep alleys and remote streets. From time to time, the roar of armored vehicles marching through the streets in the distance can be heard.
The electronic dogs flying all over your head are so annoying. This thing is not big, just like an adult's fist, but it is equipped with an all-round probe that can rotate 360 degrees, and there is no monitoring blind spot, which is very threatening, but it cannot be removed, so it can only be carefully concealed.
As time goes by, the sky gets brighter and brighter, and the morning dawns, and a new day is coming. In the thin white mist, there are early cleaning staff coming out to work. They talked and laughed, their expressions were relaxed, and they didn't see any signs of being oppressed or mutilated. It was a scene of total peace and tranquility.
It's a strange situation!
They hid all the way to an old-fashioned inn called a "leisure inn" and hid around the corner.
Burton Star is a tourist mecca, with beautiful scenery and picturesque environment, there are many ancient buildings and hotels with a strong historical style all over the place, and there are many nostalgic people in this era.
The fat man took off all the weapons and equipment on his body, took off his coat three or two times, revealing a body of fat and a white vest that was gradually white, kicked his legs, twisted his waist, made two chest expansion movements, and turned back to everyone and ordered: "You can't continue to walk, you must find a place to rest and replenish your mental and physical strength, everyone can't bear it like this." I went to the hotel in front of me to find out what was going on. ”
"Be careful." Feather Cloak handed him a pistol, small and delicate, with a silver body, an ivory handle, and an antique gun that cost a lot of money. The fat man hesitated, but did not refuse. The situation is unknown, and it is necessary to get a gun to defend yourself. The pistol was pinned to the waist, covered with a vest, and turned around twice for everyone to see, but there was no flaw.
The fat man nodded, took a few steps on the spot with his arms crossed, and ran out in a running position. I didn't go directly to the hotel, but ran around the neighborhood until I was sweating slightly, and then I entered the leisure inn.
The inn is antique, with an obvious taste of ancient Chinese architectural style, and the interior decoration also reveals a strong ancient style. When people first enter, it is as if they have traveled back thousands of years. The front wall of the hall downstairs is hung with splashed ink landscape paintings, which are so large that they almost cover one wall. In the pond in front of it, ornamental fish of various colors swim with their heads and tails, and in the middle of the pond stands a huge pale gray stone that is more than two meters high.
Next to the promenade on the left is a wooden staircase leading upstairs, and on the right is a bar where people rest with their heads resting on their arms. There is a slight snoring, it can't be really asleep, right?
The fat man deliberately pretended to be out of breath and walked over and knocked on the table, "Hey, wake up, there's a visitor." ”
Didn't respond, slept deeply. That's right, this early morning, still lying here, must have not rested well last night.
The fat man knocked hard again, and the man's head moved, his expression was a little confused, and he raised his head sleepily. Rubbing his eyes, he saw the fat man standing in front of the bar clearly.
opened his mouth and yawned, and said vaguely: "Staying in the hotel?" How many people? His eyes kept looking behind the fat man, especially in the direction of the door.
"Don't look at the uncle, it's just me."
Seeing that the fat man was alone, the middle-aged uncle in his forties didn't seem to be satisfied, so he muttered and got up and took a handful of the long slip key hanging on the wall and threw it to the fat man, and then took out the registration form and asked him to fill it out by himself, "Fill it out, the small sign under the key is the room number." After speaking, he yawned, and he was about to sleep again, but the fat man stopped him, resting his elbows on the bar and pouting there to chat with him, "Uncle, your accommodation procedures here are too simple, right?" What about store money? What about the deposit? You don't even want to ask for it, so you're not afraid of coming in bandits and overlord travelers or something? ”
"Bandits? Overlord travelers? You're not a local, boy, are you? The middle-aged uncle looked him up and down with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
The fat man said calmly: "Uncle, where did you start talking about this?" ”
The middle-aged uncle, who was a little mentally provoked by the fat man's few words, was not sleepy, did not answer directly, supported his chin with his hand, tilted his head to look at the fat man, looked at it for a while, and then changed his hand to continue to support his chin and continue to look at the ...... It should be said that he is observing the fat man...... Suddenly, he said, "Are you from outside?" ”
The fat man slowly straightened up, stroked his lower back, and almost pulled out his gun. The middle-aged uncle said lazily: "Don't be nervous, young man, listen to the uncle's advice, where to go back and forth, you shouldn't come to this place." ”
"Why?"
"Here, the city is full of black clouds, fierce everywhere, if you stay for a long time, you will have to worry about your life." The middle-aged uncle said with deep meaning.
"No, all I see is peace and quiet."
"That's an illusion!"
The fat man's heart was shocked, and he had a feeling that he was about to come into contact with the truth hidden under the calm.
The middle-aged uncle stood up suddenly, supported the table with both hands, leaned forward to approach the fat man, his eyes became sharp and stared at him, and whispered: "I used to be a soldier!" ”
This sentence was very abrupt and inconsequential, but the fat man understood that he was too tender and was recognized by the other party.
The hand behind his back grabbed the handle of the gun, and still said calmly: "Uncle, how can you see it?" ”
The middle-aged uncle laughed, pointed behind the fat man and said to him, "Look back." ”
The fat man looked back, a mirror, leaning against the corner. I noticed it when I came in just now, and I thought it was somewhere to remove it and put it there temporarily. Seeing his figure reflected in the mirror, the fat man understood where the flaws were. Boots are boots worn on the feet. Marine combat boots of the army's standard. This kind of boot does not go to the market. Not only that, but the boots and pants were stained with a lot of hard lumps after the mud and water dried up. You don't need to be a retired veteran, anyone with a discerning eye can see the problem.
Seeing this, the fat man broke out in a cold sweat and recalled the process of running laps outside before. There were no pedestrians who were not found, and there happened to be no electronic dogs passing overhead. What luck, or maybe we'd be surrounded by Imperial forces right now.
"Young man, this is called eating a trench and growing wisdom. Pay attention later. ”
"Thank you, senior, I remembered."
"You still have someone, right? Call them all in. I'm watching the shop now, and the others left long before Burton fell. ”
Seeing that the fat man was still hesitating, the middle-aged uncle smiled and said, "If I wanted to betray you, I wouldn't have waited until now." Look again. ”
The middle-aged uncle touched it in a hidden position under the bar. The originally flat desktop suddenly opened, and an electronic screen appeared, and the uncle turned the screen over to the fat man.
The fat man was stupid at first glance. What was shown on the screen was the comrades of the mechanic company and the feather coat who were hiding in the corner of the wall.
How was it filmed? Where did it come from?
The middle-aged uncle said proudly: "This is my ability to save my life." ”
The words stopped at this point, didn't elaborate, didn't want to say, and the fat man didn't ask much.
"The seniors are amazing, admire."
The electronic screen was taken back, the bar counter was restored to its original state, and the middle-aged uncle said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Look at how haggard they look! It must have been a long journey along the way. The room keys are all hung on the wall, and you need to take care of the rooms yourself, and I'll prepare food for you, oh, and the tubing valve for the bath water has to be opened. Girls, you can't do it without taking a bath. ”
The middle-aged uncle is a good person and a man of action, and he turned out of the bar to work after a few words of explanation to the fat man. Looking at his back, the fat man knew why this uncle would retire. Because he is crippled, underneath are two mechanical legs.
At this point, there was nothing to doubt, the fat man did not dare to slack off, walked to the door, leaned out, and beckoned to the corner of the left front wall.
Figures appeared one after another, and they ran over quickly.
The hall, which was originally slightly spacious, was a little crowded because of the presence of these people.
After everyone came in, they looked around and couldn't help but admire. The ancient style and ancient charm give people a sense of being out of the dust from the world.
"Fatty, what's the matter?" The soft and smooth blonde hair reaches to the waist, the face is delicate and flawless, the white skin is soft and smooth, the blue eyes are deep, and the beautiful feather coat looks around and quickly understands the situation.
The fat man sighed: "We were lucky to meet a kind-hearted uncle. There is no need to doubt that uncle is worth trusting. ”
Yu Yi's eyes were moving, her eyebrows were crooked, her eyes were moving, her expression was moving, she smiled and said, "If you say it's worth it, it's worth it." He said, "Where is our room?" ”
The other girls also looked slightly moved, and having a room meant being able to take a bath. Some girls are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not be able to take a bath for a long time. Bathing and cleansing oneself is as important as life.
The fat man casually pointed to the key hanging on the wall, "It's all there, the sign below is the room number, you can take whatever you like." ”
"Company commander, you speak so loudly, have you become the boss?" Xie Hui was like a cheerful deer, rushing to pick up the key.
Ladies come first, and when they are done and go upstairs, the men will each take the room key.
There were two rooms and four rooms, which were quickly assigned, and they were all on the second floor, very close to each other.
The first thing the fat man did when he entered the room was to take a shower. It's a shame. A well-trained master of disguise, who is identified in the subtleties, is the rhythm of finding death. This hammer is not lightly struck. Let him remember.
Shortly after washing, I heard a knock on the door. The fat man subconsciously rushed to the side of the bed and picked up the silver antique pistol.
Close to the door panel, "Who?" ”
"It's me." It's the voice of a middle-aged uncle.
The fat man opened the door, and the middle-aged uncle was holding a large trolley suitcase with a slightly smaller suitcase stacked on it.
"Uncle, what are you?"
He pushed the two suitcases in front of the fat man and said, "It's all clothes." I think you should need it. ”
The fat man's eyes lit up, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and said, "Uncle, thank you, thank you very much, these things of yours have helped us too much." ”
"Don't forget the young man, I'm a veteran, and I think and do everything in front of you rookies."
