Chapter 9: The Black Saints
The middle-aged man's name is Gao Zhibo, a homeless person who migrated here two years ago, and those with scorpion tails tattooed on their faces are from a well-known bandit group in the nearby area------ Black Saints.
Tang Yan was speechless about this. Just like Zabuha's Pandaren Legion, he really doesn't know what kind of brains these bandit bosses have, so he can't give his organization a normal name.
Back to what happened in Gaojiazhuang.
Two days ago, six men had come from outside the village, and five of them were armed with wounds, except for a thin man with gold-rimmed glasses, who looked weak and intact.
They demanded to stay in the village for a while, in exchange for giving the villagers some currency that could be used in the Western Union area, as well as some of the firearms they carried.
Because there have been more living corpses wandering in the nearby area recently, and the villagers have not much weapons and ammunition left, considering that the currency of the Western Alliance region can be exchanged for ammunition, food, medicine and other hard currency in the black market of Gem City, they agreed to come down and bring those six people into the village.
According to those people, it would only take two days for their partner to come and pick them up.
When the time came last night, the men did not wait for their companions, but for their enemies.
Gao Zhibo didn't know where their enemies came from, only that those people had landed at the entrance of the village in a military helicopter that was rarely seen.
The villagers were frightened, and they didn't care about continuing to trade, so they fled from the village in a swarm, leaving only the six people who had come the day before.
They don't know the outcome of last night's incident, and they are not interested in knowing what kind of hatred the two sides have, anyway, they will not return to Gaojiazhuang in the next two days.
Gao Zhibo was separated from the villagers on the way to escape, and was unlucky enough to strayed into the area where the Black Saints were active, and was captured by a patrol led by a man in body armor.
The other party wanted to kill him, because he was too old to sell for a few dollars, and the result of keeping him alive could only be a waste of rations.
Gao Zhibo begged them to spare his life, and in return, he would take a few people to Gaojiazhuang to obtain the hard goods hidden by the villagers.
You must know that Gaojiazhuang is the territory of the Panda Man Legion, and trespassing is likely to cause disputes, but those hard goods are too tempting for them to refuse, so six members of the Black Saints drove him back to Gaojiazhuang to obtain those so-called hard goods.
Regardless of Gao Zhibo's idea of living one second longer, or hoping that the people who came to the village by military helicopter did not leave, and let the people of the Black Saints fight those people to the death, in short, they came back, and then met Fan Yong and Lang Aiping who were holding weapons.
It didn't take long before and after, and the two people were killed in just a face-to-face effort.
The next thing, Tang Yan, as a witness, naturally does not need to tell.
After listening to Gao Zhibo, Tang Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and his frowning brows slowly relaxed. In any case, what happened in Gaojiazhuang has little to do with him, and it is useless to think about it.
"There have been many battles here in a row, presumably the next days will not be peaceful, you should leave quickly."
Tang Yan stood up, glanced at the two members of Vault 1001 who were dumbfounded, withdrew the two guns, and walked towards the village, only then did the system prompt him to receive a reward of 10 points from Gao Zhibo.
The whole battle brought him 130 bonus points, and the bonus value consumed by exchanging them for the Boeson FN50 sniper rifle was basically earned, and the current reward value balance is 133.
It's hard and dangerous, but it's also rewarding.
He went back to the grass behind the elementary school and pulled out the butterfly knife that had been inserted into the throat of the smoking bandit, shook off the plasma attached to the blade, and inserted it into the compartment of his leather boot.
When he was done, he rummaged through their pockets and found half a box of soft-packed Hongta Mountain, a copycat ZIPPO lighter, a bottle of strong spirit, and a few iodine tablets.
Interestingly, the Black Saints guys use the classic M16 rifle, and I don't know where they got it.
Tang Yan also took out a piece of blood-stained paper from the pocket of the smoking bandit, which had become crumpled, but it was obviously a poster------ a recruitment poster for a black saint.
The picture shows a man with a scorpion tattoo on his right cheek, black hair standing up like a needle, black eyes shooting an evil gaze, looking at a beautiful woman in silk I socks stepping on the soles of her feet, next to canned luncheon meat and scallion biscuits scattered all over the ground.
In the middle of the poster is a line written ------Dreams set sail from here, Black Saints welcome you, brave men of the wasteland."
Tang Yan thought to himself that the boss of the Black Saints was really interesting, he had seen too many conscription advertisements, and the bandit group actually played with dreams and brave stalks.
He clutched the poster into a ball and threw it into the grass, and walked towards the place where he broke up with Han Xin.
However, when he arrived at his destination and got into the bed of the truck to take a look, his face suddenly darkened.
Han Xin was gone, and she was gone in less than half an hour.
At the end of the carriage hung a piece of blue cloth with black blood stains on it, which looked like it had been scraped from Han Xin's trouser leg.
"What the hell happened, how could she be gone?" After looking at the rags for a while, he rushed out of the car and walked to the place with the best view nearby.
The system has been very quiet, which shows that there are no hostile people around him, and there are no friendly people, so where did Han Xin go, and what kind of danger did she encounter during the time she left?
There was no fresh blood, no sign of a struggle, and no sign of a beast's foot.
He muttered for a moment on the high ground, then turned and walked in the direction of the village.
No matter what happened to Han Xin, in short, it had no effect on him, although she knew some knowledge of medical care, but it always seemed like a burden to carry it around.
Gao Zhibo had already left Gaojia Village and was missing, so he came to the other side of the village and opened the door of the overturned pickup truck.
The head of the little leader of the Black Saints had been separated from his body, the cab was covered in blood, the steering wheel was blown to pieces, and the bullet hole in the middle went straight to the engine compartment.
You must know that this guy is wearing body armor, and the pickup is covered with a layer of steel plates.
This shows how terrifying the power of the Boson FN50 sniper rifle is, and the civilian-grade vehicle looks like paper paste in front of it.
Ignoring the tragic appearance of the bandit leader, he opened the rear compartment door, took out several wooden boxes from inside, pried one open with a mace, and found that, as Gao Zhibo said, there were bottles of liquor neatly arranged inside.
The white porcelain vase, the old red ribbon, the badly faded paper label, and the vague and vague character "Lang" can still be seen.
According to Gao Zhibo, this thing was turned over in a hidden cellar in the backyard of the village chief's house after they came to Gaojiazhuang.
What is certain is that these wines are all made in the old times, and they should be of very good quality, otherwise the most powerful and famous people in the village would not have hidden them in their own cellars, and they have been very carefully sealed.
When they found the wine, they only took out one or two bottles and tasted it, while the rest was buried in a ruined well in a garden at the end of the village, so that they could take it out and exchange it for necessary supplies in Gem City during the difficult times.
After Gao Zhibo was captured by the Black Saints, in order to get a chance to survive, he told the leader of his kidnappers about the good wine hidden in the village, and then was thrown into a pickup truck and returned to Gaojiazhuang.
Tang Yan took out 4 bottles of wine from the box and threw them into his backpack, threw the remaining wine and weapons into the storage space attached to the system, took off his leather coat and changed into a special tights for Vault 1001, and then took out a recruitment poster of the Black Saint from the drawer in the passenger seat of the pickup bus, and walked towards the location marked on the map.
Due to the rules of the StarCraft Special Edition, it is not advisable to go to a safe corner, and only by going to a crowded place can you have a chance to earn reward points and exchange them for more advanced weapons and equipment.
The Black Saints' lair is dangerous, but ...... As the old saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
PS: It's a new week soon, so I ask for everyone's recommendation votes.
