Chapter 3: The Robbers
Jingnan City is located in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital, about 100 kilometers away from the imperial capital, although it is located next to the national political and economic capital, but seriously, it is precisely because the imperial capital is too developed, so the surrounding small cities are not very well developed.
With a market as big as the capital, who would develop your small town?
According to the leaders here, unless the imperial capital starts to repair the 11th Ring Road, Jingnan City will always be just a small city!
As a result, the infrastructure of the entire city of Gyeongnam is not very good. In addition to a few main roads in the city, there are basically asphalt roads built in the 70s, and in some remote corners, there are brick roads or dirt roads.
The reason why I said so much was actually to explain the situation near Hao Shen's house.
After the loss of the family property, the only thing the Hao family owned was a unit in an old-fashioned staff building in the southern suburbs of Jingnan City: the kind of unit built in the 70s, with three households sharing a public toilet and water pipes. Hao Shen actually thinks that it is a miracle that the building has not been without water and electricity.
And it is such a staff building, standing in the southern suburbs, I am afraid it is still a high-end building. In addition to the four staff buildings, the entire southern suburbs are almost full of broken tiled houses, the highest of which is no more than two stories of the kind of spire tiled houses.
More than 10 years ago, there were still many people living here, but nowadays, there are not many residents who call it home, including the staff building.
After all, the economic situation has developed rapidly in recent years, and many people in Jingnan City have made a fortune and moved to the imperial capital. There are many who can't afford to move away, but most of the young and strong laborers also go out to work, and those who are left behind, except for the poor like Hao Shen, are only the old, weak, sick and disabled.
As the population becomes sparse, the entire southern suburbs of Jingnan are even more dilapidated, the road surface is damaged and no one repairs, the street lights are broken and they are too lazy to repair, in the dark, there are often some strangers who do not look good: it is easy to do things in the dark, there are often police cars here, and the most serious one seems to have had a shootout.
This is also the reason why Hao Shen is obviously in financial difficulties, but he still has to spend more money to let his sister Hao Xiaomei live in school.
Driving on a dark path, the potholed path was still dark under the lights of an electric tripod with greatly reduced lighting ability. Hao Shen hummed a song, but his mind was wandering. The whole person also swayed with the shaking of the electric tricycle.
After entering the southern suburbs, probably belonging to the place of the urban-rural junction, there is a cement road that even the bus will not pass by, driving along the road for a few minutes, the dark road finally has a little light, it is a small restaurant, turn left from here, it is Hao Shen's house.
"Aunt Liu, haven't you closed the door yet?" Hao Shen braked in front of the shop and glanced at the inside of the shop with some concern. The owner of this small shop is also a resident of the staff building, guarding the small restaurant for more than ten years, when Hao Shen had no food to eat, the boss and his wife would always invite him to eat, the old couple is in their sixties, they are all good people.
The shop usually closes at seven o'clock, and there are few accidents. Hao Shen was a little worried.
"The little gentleman is back, it's okay, I still have two guests here, wait a minute!" Aunt Liu saw Hao Shen and greeted her.
Hao Shen glanced over, and sure enough, he saw two middle-aged men dressed as migrant workers sitting at a small table in the store eating, and Uncle Liu poked his head in the kitchen, smiled at Hao Shen, and went back to work.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry to go back, I'll help you. It's okay to go back anyway! Hao Shen frowned, thought about it, and jumped off the electric three wheels.
"What's that like? You're still busy tomorrow, little gentleman......" Aunt Liu pushed away embarrassedly.
"What do you mean by something like that? Why can't I help here? Well, you can rest. Hao Shen smiled and pressed Aunt Liu on the stool on the side. I rolled up my sleeves, washed my hands, and helped Uncle Liu deliver food in the kitchen.
"Thank you, little gentleman, I'll add a bowl of rice to you later!" Uncle Liu didn't refuse, the shop hadn't met a customer who had been sitting for so long for a long time, and the old couple was a little tired when they were old.
"No, I've eaten it."
With Hao Shen's help, Uncle Liu and his wife are undoubtedly a lot easier. The two guests also quickly finished their meal, settled the bill and left. Hao Shen helped the couple collect the stall and sent them back.
Seeing the old couple go upstairs, Hao Shen went to charge the electric three wheels, and then walked to the mouth of the dark alley.
"Come out, I've been following for so long, you think I'm blind?"
In the dark, after a moment of hesitation, two figures appeared in Hao Shen's realization: the two customers who stayed in the small restaurant until ten o'clock.
It's just that at this time, these two people are not as kind as when they were in the hotel before, both of them have a layer of fine sweat on their heads, their faces are hideous, and they are holding cold and shining knives in their hands.
"Stinky boy, you dare to be nosy?"
"I'm rough, are you embarrassed to say I'm nosy?" Hao Shen sneered and said disdainfully: "In such a remote place in the southern suburbs of Jingnan City, the buses can't pass, there is no traffic, there is no construction site, who are you two lying to in migrant uniforms?" That is, the husband and wife are good, and they are willing to entertain you. Didn't I say you, two big men have hands and feet, why do you have to get along with the old couple? The old couple worked hard for only a thousand yuan a month, so they were embarrassed to do it! ”
No matter what Hao Shen said, he has worked hard in society, and there are at least a dozen robberies in the southern suburbs every month, but because those desperate people are forced to rob dozens of yuan to eat, it doesn't hurt anyone. The film police have no problem with this piece, and it is a waste of food in the detention center to arrest it.
Hao Shen usually encounters this kind of thing, of course, he also avoids it, but this time the target of the two goods is Aunt Liu's shop, and Hao Shen can't help but get ahead.
"Okay, it's still the same sentence, they all have heads, faces, hands and feet, and it's better to go to Beijing to collect scrap than to rob, right? Let's go, let's go, it's not cost-effective to be caught for a few hundred dollars. Hao Shen waved his hand, they are all difficult people, there is no need to die.
"Wait!" The two on the other side glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Okay, even if you're right, the old couple really doesn't have much money." But you should have a little bit of a young and strong lad, right? The brothers have been in some trouble recently, so how about bothering the brothers to make up some travel expenses? As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand.
"Cut!" Hao Shen sighed, groped twice from the place where he was standing, pulled out a steel pipe the thickness of his thumb, and waved it twice: This is what Hao Shen has prepared a long time ago, not to mention this gate, there are many weapons hidden by Hao Shen in the nearby alleys, no way, the world is chaotic here. "Amazing with a knife, huh? Are you afraid of me? Tell you, my brother has been mixing here since he was a child, what battle has he never seen? I'm not afraid to tell you that I can fight like you...... Three............ Big brother, I have something to say! ”
Hao Shen threw the steel pipe aside in a cold sweat and raised his hand. Because they were right, they reached into their bags and pulled out their homemade pistols.
Damn, you have a gun on a horse, didn't you say it earlier? Do all the robbers know how to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers now?
"Hey, the young man is very eye-catching! Now, can you get the money out? The two robbers, who had been promoted from the knife-wielding rank to the gun-wielding rank, smirked.
"Yes, yes!" Hao Shen cried with a sad face, come on, this day is in vain. Under the command of the robbers, Hao Shen turned himself upside down, grabbed a lot of gross tickets, and the largest denomination was five yuan...... "Na, this is all the money on me, the mobile phone is a Nokia that has been used for eight years, you won't want it, right?" ”
Hao Shen's cooperation made the two robbers lower their vigilance, one of them still pointed a gun at Hao Shen, and the other walked over, snatched the money from Hao Shen's hand, and scolded after just one glance, "Why am you picking up garbage?" Such a broken gross ticket? ”
Hao Shen nodded depressedly, "Big brother is smart, I'm really a garbage picker!" ”
"TM wants you to talk too much!" The robber was also depressed, so he came up and gave Hao Shen a leg, and the gross ticket fell to the ground at once. He scolded angrily again, and bent down to fumble for the money on the ground and pick it up.
Hao Shen endured the pain and retreated several steps, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only watch the other party put his hard-earned money into his pocket one by one.
However, maybe even Hao Shen himself has forgotten that he is no longer that ordinary mortal.
I don't know if it's psychological unwillingness or suppressed anger, Hao Shen launched his ability: with the blessing of anger, Hao Shen couldn't help but think of revenge, he imagined that he took a knife and chopped the two robbers a few times! This is actually the normal situation of normal people, but the key is that as an extraordinary person who has just obtained the ability to obtain information, this normal thing will become extraordinary: a watermelon knife more than a foot long instantly appeared in Hao Shen's hand, and a cold light flashed on the blade.
Seriously, at that moment, Hao Shen himself was stunned!
Then he realized that something was wrong!
No matter how powerful the knife is, it is also a cold weapon, can it fight against guns? Obviously, it can't, otherwise the Eight-Nation Coalition would not have been able to enter Beijing.
But it was too late for him to react again, the robber who picked up the money had already seen the long knife in Hao Shen's hand out of the corner of his eye, and his face suddenly tightened, and he withdrew a few steps vigorously, "What do you want to do?" Do you want to die......... No, where did you get the knife? You, how can your eyes glow? ”
Hao Shen forgot that when he activated the information ability, his eyes would naturally enter the state of looking directly at the information, and his eyes would glow in this state!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is contact lenses! Contact lenses! I didn't want to resist, and I'm not stupid to use a knife against a gun......" Hao Shen quickly explained. It's a pity that neither of them believes it.
The two robbers seemed to be panicked, and they both looked at Hao Shen in horror, "I know!" This is one of those humanoid robots, right? Eyes can't be cameras, right? ”
Ha? Hao Shen was embarrassed.
"What? Robot? Is it the high-tech simulation robot in the news? Looks like a real person, can serve tea and water as a housekeeper? The kind that can still warm up the bed? Another exclaimed.
I'm rubbing, you're thinking too much, aren't you? Where did you see the news? H small website?
"I heard that not only that, but you can also transform, and you can conjure machine guns on your arms and legs! I knew that there was a plane called Righteousness in Japan! ”
It's a steel bullet, right? You guys are the news from station B, right?
"Are you stupid? The one called Justice is Gundam. The one who turns into a weapon from his arm is the final weapon girl, and you can tell by looking at the knife in his hand. This is different from Madoka Magica! ”
Hao Shen couldn't help it, and collapsed: "Please, how can there be such a robot like a real person in reality?" You two? ”
"You're only two, you think I haven't seen it? Ha, the two brothers suffered a big loss when they killed that doctor a few days ago. Who knew that he actually had a robot maid and recorded the faces of the two brothers. It's not easy to disguise yourself now, and you think I'm going to plant it again? I didn't expect you to be able to chase this here, do you know what happened to that robot last time? I cut three holes in her head! The robber laughed and raised his gun.
Hao Shen's psychology suddenly chuckled. These two men don't seem to be ordinary robbers, but wanted criminals who have murdered and escaped.
"Wait, if you look closely, this kid doesn't look like a robot!" The other robber spoke, he looked at Hao Shen and thought for a while, and said, "Generally, robots have antennas to receive control signals. Last time the maid had it, but this kid didn't! ”
"Maybe people have built-in WiFi, technology is changing with each passing day, everyone is using WiFi, there's no reason why robots don't use it, right?"
"WiFi requires a wireless router and the signal range is too small. If I talk about built-in antennas, I'd rather believe it's Bluetooth! ”
"Oh, what do you care he does!" The impatient gunman had a hideous expression on his face, "Whether he is a robot or not, I can't spare him today." Hurry up and make this vote, escape from Hebei first! ”
"That's right!" The other robber nodded approvingly, then reached out and plugged his ear.
Hao Shen: "........."
The jumpiness of the topic of these two people has broken through the bottom line of Hao Shen's acceptance, and Hao Shen no longer wants to interject.
He had already seen that the gun-wielding robber's finger had been pulled on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun aimed at him was flickering!
Ma Dan, this time it's really unlucky!
