Chapter 14: Dead at Daybreak
The captain first signaled the two accompanying people to put down their weapons, and in terms of the combat strength on their side, they estimated that the trigger would be blown into slag by Luo Wei's desert eagle before they had time to pull it, and then he pointed to the magnetic rail sniper rifle on his head, and then pointed to Luo Wei's feet, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "There's no need to step on me, since things have developed to this point, there is nothing to hide, just let each other know the bottom and talk about it happily." β
Luo Wei maintained his current posture and did not move, and he didn't even close the safety of the gun, and still said condescendingly: "Let's talk about it like this." β
"You..." The captain is completely out of temper, this kind of perverted vigilance will only be in the wilderness, he spread his hands resignedly, and said with a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "Then let's talk about it like this, don't go around the corner, I'll give you a thorough explanation, we don't trust you, although you don't want materials and money, but we don't dare to guarantee that you will not rob the women of our base, especially Ling, there have been several waves of bandits who have attacked us for Ling before, making us suffer heavy losses, we don't know where you came from, I really don't dare to take this risk again, so I can only choose to sneak up on you at night. β
"You should just hand them over." Luo Wei said indifferently, "Or exchange her for supplies and weapons, or even take her to the powerful in the big city as a slave, those people like Ling like this young girl the most, so that you may still win the opportunity to live in the city, and sit back and relax, but you chose to protect her, and chose the stupidest and most unprofitable approach." β
"What a joke!" The captain was furious, he grabbed Luo Wei's ankle, his hand was bruised because of excessive force, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Women are also people, not goods!" Don't confuse me with those brutes who have lost their conscience! β
"The brutes you call out of conscience tend to live longer." Luo Wei is not talking about his subjective thoughts, but just about the objective facts of the current world.
The fact is that people with a conscience are slowly dying, those who have lost their conscience have adapted to the cruel world and survived, and the collapsed world has collapsed even more, so that all hope has been lost.
"Straight to the point." Luo Wei didn't want to waste his tongue on such childish questions as good and bad, so he cut straight back to the topic, "Give me the answer, believe me, or don't believe me?" β
Luo Wei is now fully prepared, if he believes it, then fight side by side, if he doesn't believe it, then he will leave, use this base as a bait, and lurk in the distance to snipe, gambling on luck, it is best to kill the opponent's highest-level evolutionary with one shot, so that the battle will be much easier after that.
The captain had not yet recovered from his previous anger, his face was red and white, and he didn't know how long it took before he said weakly: "You said it a long time ago, we have no choice. β
"Wise." Luo Wei retracted his foot, also put away his gun, and said calmly, "Tomorrow morning, a team will come here to meet me, a total of six people, led by a big man, let your people not hinder." β
"Got it." The captain was kicked by Luo Wei's kick and his ribs were crooked, and he stood up with difficulty with the support of his two companions, and said in a low voice, "No one will disturb you tonight, you can sleep in peace." β
"You don't have to worry about that."
"Well..."
...
The cold night is gone, the dawn is approaching, and everything is immersed in haze...
The loess continent dotted with faint light outside the window, the wisps of light breaking through the darkness on the horizon, everything renders the whole world like an ancient miracle, revealing a hazy and mysterious atmosphere everywhere, and the dim light in the house also brings a trace of tranquility, which makes people can't help but be immersed.
Luo Wei opened his eyes, he was not lost in this tranquility, because he knew that all this was just a hypocritical illusion, and when the morning sun completely rose, it was still this crumbling wasteland...
The captain also kept his promises, Luo Wei was not "harassed" again this night, he also had a good rest, no matter how strong the evolutionary is, he is also a human being, and if he doesn't rest, he will definitely collapse.
Because it was just dawn, most of them were still asleep except for a few survivors of the vigil, but Luo Wei found a familiar figure outside a tent.
"My favorite thing is the dawn, when the sun rises to dispel the cold, I feel like the world is full of hope." Ling, who was sitting on the ground and looking at the sky, suddenly spoke.
Luo Wei was very speechless, and he didn't even pay attention to her, this talker could still talk to himself.
Ling didn't care about Luo Wei's coldness at all, and said with a grin, "I don't know your name yet." β
Luo Wei ignored her, anyway, the two were just passers-by, there would be no intersection after this mission, and they would basically not see her in the future, so there was no need to tell her name, not to mention that it was not certain that this girl who had no ability to fight could survive this mission.
Seeing that Luo Wei didn't speak, Ling ran to his side, grabbed his cloak and said, "Oh, just tell me, you all know my name, it's not fair." β
Luo Wei really lost his temper: "Luo Wei." β
"Luo Wei?" Ling's eyes widened, and he suddenly bent over with a smile, "What a 'pretty' name, just like a girl." β
Luo Wei is very helpless, so is Arnold, so is Ling, everyone who knows his name seems to complain like a girl, but his parents gave him this name when he was born, what can be done?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at your name, it's rude." Ling said this, but she still covered her mouth and snickered, seeing that she really couldn't help laughing, she blushed and changed the topic, "What you said to the adults yesterday is true?" Is there really someone going to attack our base? β
"Yes."
Ling's eyes widened, and he jumped in front of Luo Wei, grinning, showing his cute little white teeth, and said, "Then will you protect me?" β
"No, it won't." Luo Wei didn't scare Ling, he didn't know if he could get out of the way, where did he have the spare time to protect a girl he didn't know.
"Ahh Ling became a little distressed, but he didn't blame Luo Wei, but began to pace non-stop, "Then what should I do, I don't know how to use a gun, and I haven't fought, right!" You're so powerful, why don't you teach me martial arts! It's the kind of martial arts that can become strong after one day of cultivation! β
Luo Wei was so out of temper that he couldn't speak, and he didn't know whether to say whether Ling was mentally retarded or naΓ―ve.
Just when Luo Wei didn't know how to answer, the sleepy-eyed sentry on the earthen wall suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Be on guard! Alert! There's a team approaching! β
