It was the sound of a car engine starting, and Xiao Jiu cautiously poked his head out and looked at the street. It wasn't long before a car came into her sight. The car drove towards the former site of the evacuation site.

The door opened, revealing a burly figure emerging from inside. Seeing that figure, Xiao Jiu's face had a smile: "This bastard, finally back!" ”

Standing on a ruined land, Lin Ci turned around and saw a slender figure running out of the shadow of the building.

Out of nowhere, a goose-yellow petal rolled up and gently landed on a cold stone tablet.

Two names are engraved on the stele.

Zhang Changcheng!

Luo Ying!

There are dozens of stone monuments like this.

They sit in front of irregular dirt bags, dozens of which fill a vacant lot cleared from the ruins of the refuge site.

This is a cemetery where most of the people who died in the catastrophe a week ago are buried. The other part was either buried in the depths of the collapsed building, or taken away by the xenomorphs.

Lin Ci looked at the name on the tablet, and his expression was a little self-reproachful: "It's me who has caused you trouble, Brother Zhang." I owe it to you. ”

After Lin Ci finished speaking, he glanced at the stele again and stood up again.

Next to it, is another stone monument.

Chen Ran, Shu Yu.

"Rest in peace, your souls in heaven."

Leaving the cemetery, Lin Ci walked towards the BYD car. In the passenger seat, Aoi sat inside.

Xiao Jiu followed him with a gun: "Let's go directly to Qingqian City like this?" ”

"Don't worry, I've found help."

"Helper?"

"That's right."

Xiao Jiu looked at him and sighed: "Since you said so, I have no choice but to believe you, or how can I be a friend, right?" ”

Lin Ci smiled wordlessly, and the car quickly roared and headed towards Mocheng.

Ma Gang is a mutated xenomorph after the disaster, and at first he only came here with a dozen men to collect supplies.

Later, they found a large shopping street that was filled with gravel and got a lot of food.

With this food, he was able to hire survivors to work for him. He began to carve out his own territory in the ruins, and in two years they had built a small fortress in the ruins.

It already has a population of about 700 people, and it is a large settlement within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

At noon, Lin Xi drove to the entrance of the fortress. There is a concrete-poured fence with a shooting fort behind the wall and barricades and bunkers in front.

The cost of entering the city was five bullets, and in addition to that, Lin Ci exchanged ten bullets for currency that only passed inside the fortress, a black iron plate chiseled out of a stamping machine with a word printed on it.

It's called a coin.

The connector in Kunlun Yupan's safety manual is located in the city, and now the headquarters has been moved to the desert area, but they have not given up monitoring all parts of the country.

In some relatively stable cities or settlements, there are secret chess pieces. Of course, it is very difficult for the outside world to know their identities, and this is also a cover for their own security plan.

The fortress was built in the ruins of the city of Mo, so it is rare to see high-rise buildings here.

The atmosphere here is tense, and the people on both sides are all in good shape. It is not uncommon to see a truck full of people whizzing by, workers who have gone through the rubble to gather supplies.

There was a distribution center in the city, where things collected outside the city were gathered and then transported to the fortress ordnance warehouse, or dispersed to several shops in the city to be sold to the inhabitants of the fortress.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant.

The restaurant is an important place in the fortress. Not just anyone can spend money in restaurants, only big and small leaders like Ma Gang can come and go, and dignitaries from other cities.

When he walked into the restaurant with Aoi, the few tables of guests in the hall looked at him. Most of the ingredients in the line of sight are scrutiny, but there are also some with a slight hostility.

Those eyes that were hostile were a few outsiders who were passing through the city like Lin Ci. These people are basically xenomorphs, they come here, they may drive in for what they want and leave.

The reason why there is hostility is very simple, Lin Ci also seems to be an outsider.

Then this means competition, which means that a job that could have been given 10 coins may have to be traded for 8 coins due to competition.

Of course, no one was stupid enough to make a move on Lin Ci immediately. First, there is no reason, and secondly, the people who have been able to survive in the troubled times until now are very smart, and no one wants to be a budding bird, otherwise they would have turned into a white skeleton under a pile of rocks.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Lin Ci and Aoi occupied a round table, and no one dared to come up, only the menu handed by the waiter.

There are very few dishes in restaurants, but none of them are something that can be eaten casually in today's world. For example, boiled fish, that's right, fish! Lin Ci has never eaten fish since he set foot on land, not even canned fish, let alone an authentic boiled fish.

It's no wonder that this dish on the menu costs a coin, which is half of the money in Lin Xi's pocket.

"Xiaokui, please have a good meal today." Lin Ci did not hesitate to order a dish of boiled fish, plus some other meals, and the coins were spent like flowing water. In the smiling eyes of the waiter, Lin Ci paid the bill first.

The money was put into his pocket, and the waiter placed an order for Lin Ci and the two. There were few customers in the restaurant, and the chef was in a panic, so it didn't take long for a hot boiled fish to be placed in front of Lin Ci's eyes.

The taste is delicious, the soup is rich, but the portion is pitiful.

"Sir, are you satisfied?" The waitress walked over.

Lin Ci nodded.

She also said: "If you want to find a job, you can go to Mr. Lu Ming, and I can give you a business card if you need it." ”

"Thank you, but I don't need a job or anything, but I'd like to ask you about someone." Lin Ci lightly tossed a coin into her pocket.

The waiter's eyes lit up, one coin was already her ten-day salary, and she nodded: "Who do you want to find?" As long as it's in the city, I should know everything. ”

"Li Tiefo."

"Who?"

"Li Tiefo." Lin Xi repeated it again.

The waiter took a few steps back, her face was a little ugly, she looked at the other tables and said loudly: "He wants to find Li Tiefo!" ”

Then don't go.

Lin Ci was stunned, this Li Tiefo is the designated connector in the manual, could it be that this person is not welcomed in the city, otherwise how could the waiter react so much.

At this time, at the table on the left, a man who seemed to be dozing off with his legs on the table suddenly opened his eyes. He put down his feet and stood up, this middle-aged man was of moderate physique and looked very tough. Wearing a well-fitting suit vest and a pair of slender trousers, he looks very different from others.

With a bearded face, he looked at Lin Ci, and then said to the outsiders: "The restaurant is closing, get out immediately." ”

An outsider complained, "We haven't finished eating yet." ”

The bearded man laughed: "Then I suggest you don't eat it, otherwise, there will be time for you to eat slowly." ”

A few outsiders seemed to hear the meaning of "below", and the face of the one who spoke just now changed suddenly, as if he was about to make a move, but he caught his companion's hand. After a few moments, several outsiders left the restaurant, the restaurant was closed, and even the curtains were lowered, so that the light in the hall became dim.

The lights are on, a little harsh.

The beard moved a chair, threw it next to Lin Ci with a click, and then sat down by himself, put his hands on the backrest, looked at Lin Ci and said lightly: "Who are you?" Why do you want to find Li Tiefo. ”

Lin Ci was naturally not afraid, and said as usual: "You don't care about this, in short, I want to see him." If you know, please tell me where he is and I can give you these things. ”

He pulled out a magazine.

There are thirty rounds of ammunition in one magazine, which can be exchanged for a lot of coins, and Lin Xi thinks that it is enough to ask for a message.

Unexpectedly, with a sweep of his hand, he swept away Lin Ci's magazine, and then pulled out a pistol at a very fast speed and put it on Lin Ci's forehead. The surrounding men also took out their guns one after another, surrounding Lin Ci and the two.

The bearded man looked at Lin Ci and the two, Lin Ci's expression was calm, and the blonde girl who came with him actually looked as usual, as if she couldn't see the tense situation.

He didn't know that Aoi's beastly instinct told her that none of these men were Lin Ci's opponents, so she didn't worry about Lin Ci at all.

Lin Ci said lightly: "I don't like to be pointed at the head with a gun. ”

The beard said, "I don't like it either, so you'd better tell me." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the chair under the bearded man suddenly shattered, and then the whole person flew upside down, crashing into several tables, and slamming into the wall of the hall, shattering the glass of the windows on the wall.

Only then did the men around react, it turned out that Lin Ci kicked his beard away.

"Look for death!"

"Presumptuous!"

These people were about to shoot, but they heard the beard shouting: "Stop! He's not the guy you can handle. ”

Lin Ci was also a little surprised, although the kick just now didn't use all his strength, but when the idler was kicked like this, he would at least faint. But when I saw that over there, the beard climbed up against the wall, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood. He lowered his right hand, and the arm didn't know when it mutated, it was a thick arm covered with black hair, almost like an orangutan arm,

The palms of his hands poked out bright claws from between his fingers, and he exhaled: "It's so dangerous, if you don't block it in time, your sternum will have to be kicked to pieces." ”

His left hand shook, and his arm was also abnormal, looking like it should be a second-order attack.

The mutated man exuded a sense of oppression, but it was not painful for Lin Ci. Compared to Cheng Guangjun, this man is far behind, if he really wants to clean him up, Lin Ci probably doesn't even need to show the blood devouring.

"Boy, it doesn't matter who you are. If I dare to inquire about Li Tiefo, that is to find death! Since you won't say it, then I'll treat you as the last person I want to see. I've always been ...... for that kind of person Kill! Not! Pardon! ”

Lin Ci stood up calmly, and saw that a battle was about to break out, when footsteps sounded. Lin Ci looked at it, and an old man who looked like a chef came out of the kitchen, the old man had a big belly, a gentle smile on his face, and said to Lin Ci: "I am Li Tiefo, do you have anything to do with me." ”

"Shen Feng asked me to come to you."

The old man's expression did not change, but he said to the beard flatly: "You go out first, I will talk to him alone." ”

"This?"

"Get out!"

The bearded man nodded, his arms returned to normal, and gestured to the others, who quickly left the restaurant.

"What about him?"

"Dead."

The old man closed his eyes, "I said why hasn't he come for so long, then, who are you?" ”

"Before he died, I asked me to bring him something."

The old man asked in a deep voice, "Kunlun Jade Plate?" ”

"That's right."

"Give it to me!" The old man held out his hand.

Lin Ci shook his head: "I can't give it to you now, unless, you do me a favor." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, if you need our help, just ask." ”

Lin Ci nodded, looked at his shoes and said, "However, my shoes are a little dirty now, can you please help me wipe them?" ”

The old man's face suddenly sank: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Ci stood up, raised his hand, and blue electric light popped out from his fingers: "Where is the real Li Tiefo?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm Li Tiefo." ”

Lin Ci pressed one hand on the old man's shoulder, and suddenly the old man's shoulder was full of lightning, and he screamed, "I am Li Tiefo." ”

"Really? Then you go and die. Lin Ci grabbed it hard, and the electric light was dazzling for three more points, and the strong current made the skin and flesh of the old man's shoulder scorched, and he kept getting up.

In the end, he foamed at the foam, which reminded Lin Xi of the crab that was foaming. Seeing that the old man was about to roll his eyes, he put away the current, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the old man fell to the ground. Lin Ci walked into the kitchen, came out with a bucket of ice water, and poured a bucket of water on the old man's body.

He raised his hand, and the electric light flashed between his hands and said, "I have no patience, now tell me, where is Li Tiefo?" ”

The old man looked at the jumping electric snake, the corners of his mouth lowered, and said, "He locked up Ma Gang, and Ma Gang asked me to pretend to be Li Tiefo so as to stabilize the people who came to him." ”

"It seems that Ma Gang knows a lot, and he actually knows about the Kunlun Jade Plate." Lin Xi said: "Say, what else does he know." ”

"I, I don't know. Ma Gang only told me that if someone looked for Li Tiefo, there was a chance that they would send the Kunlun jade plate, and let me get that thing in my hands. Also, he said that Li Tiefo is the person, and I don't know if there are more. ”

Lin Ci narrowed his eyes: "Really? So tell me, where is Li Tiefo locked up? ”

"I, I don't know."

"Then I might be able to help you remember." Lin Xi squatted down.

The old man screamed, "I really don't know,*. You see I'm not young anymore, so don't toss me anymore. I was also forced to be helpless, if I didn't work for Ma Gang, would he let me go? ”

That's true.

Suddenly, Aoi jumped on the table and crouched like a cat. The woman looked out the window with her teeth bared, her hand shaking, and the mist and flames in her palm spewed out, turning into a fiery sword.

A sharp roar rang out from outside the restaurant.

Lin Ci looked at it, his pupils shrank slightly, it was an infantry missile!
