Chapter 43: The Bad Guys

The city was lifeless and lifeless, the collapsed houses and bridges were still in their post-explosion state, and everything was covered in a thick layer of dust.

The flowers and plants in the flower beds and green belts have begun to wither and turn yellow, and they are about to usher in a long winter.

Many rats were attracted by the smell of Lifuss and Peregrine Falcon stew, and wandered not far from them.

The rats of this street have bred here for many generations, and surviving in a world without humans has allowed them to abandon their natural fear of humans in their genes.

But the sheer size of the humans still made the rats a little intimidating, otherwise it would be impossible for the two of them to enjoy a leisurely meal there.

"These rats are really annoying, they are always sneaky, and they can't be more open." Lifus raised his eyelids and said, he seemed to be talking about a mouse on the street, but he didn't take his eyes off the wine bottle for half a minute.

"Do you need me to send them away?" Peregrine asked nonchalantly.

"No, after all, they are the masters here, and we can't take the lead." Lifus poured a sip of wine into his mouth.

"Okay." Peregrine frowned slightly, "But I don't like the feeling of being targeted by someone else in the shadows with a gun. ”

He picked up the weapon that had been placed on the side of the iron plate and pointed it at the ruins on the street corner not far away, where there was a huge LED billboard that looked like it hadn't shone in years.

"Come out! While I still have patience. Peregrine said in the direction of the street corner. He was still half-lying on the bench, his feet not off the table, his attitude and tone were very casual, he just took up his weapon, and then said a word.

The weapon held by the peregrine falcon is the standard weapon of the Chosen Army, shaped like a stubby mechanical arm, which contains two miniature neutron bombs, two gamma bombs, two three-phase bombs, three EMP bombs and a light bullet, as well as several miniature missiles, the high compression of energy brought by the particle fusion reaction makes these hand-held nuclear bombs a reality, and the weapon arm that Lifers lost is not fundamentally different from the peregrine falcon's, but the yield is larger.

The arm has a high-precision sensor in the mounting slot, and the arm automatically locks when placed inside, making it easy to wear and remove.

But nothing came out of the corner, and it was still quiet all around, except for the gurgling of the water in the pot and the rats.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, then don't come out." The peregrine falcon gave an ultimatum and did not give him time to hesitate at all, "One! Two! ”

"Wait a minute!" A voice shouted around the corner.

One spear was thrown from behind the billboard, followed by another.

Three people came out of it one after another, their hands raised in the air, indicating that they had no weapons.

They were all tightly wrapped, only showing two eyes to see things, very similar to the people of Fairy Bay.

In fact, most of the civilians and homeless people Lifus has ever seen are dressed like this, and they need to be kept warm and shielded from radiation as much as possible.

The peregrine falcon beckoned to them and motioned for them to come over, and the three hesitated for a moment, then obeyed the peregrine falcon's orders. "Take off your masks." The peregrine falcon commanded again.

The three men approached and removed their masks and scarves from their faces.

Judging only by size and appearance, this is a simple standard family of three, a couple and a boy of seven or eight years old.

The man is very rough and unkempt, with sloppy stubble, the woman is beautiful and delicate, demure and pleasant, quite a bit of posture, the little boy is a little handsome, and the big eyes are very smart, but at the moment the eyes are full of fear of strangers.

Everyone in the family was thin, especially the man, who could be described as skinny. All the family members were in a very unhealthy and pathological state, and their faces were bloodless.

Of course, after the nuclear winter, the people of the earth live a dark life, and gradually go underground, and their complexion will naturally become whiter and whiter.

The couple's faces turned even paler, and as they approached, they saw the uniforms worn by Lifus and the Peregrine Falcon, and they shuddered as they remembered the legend of the Chosen One. The man was a little unwilling, if it weren't for his wife and children, he wouldn't be willing to tie his hands, and the woman was very miserable, she accepted her tragic fate, but looking at her children, her heart was full of despair.

"So you're hiding there to ambush us?" Peregrine asked, Team Seven had been ambushed not long ago, and only two of them had survived, and he was now disgusted by this insidious tactic.

"No, it's not." The man quickly denied it, "We were just passing by, but when we saw you here, we didn't dare to disturb you, so we hid there." ”

"But you just aimed a gun at my head." The peregrine falcon unloaded his weapon and threw it on the iron plate, with a cigarette in his mouth, and put some meat and vegetables in his bowl.

"These Chosen ones are indeed monsters, and I have been very careful, but they have discovered them." The man thought to himself.

"That's just some of my personal habits, in this society at the moment, I believe that no one wants to let the situation be too passive, but I promise, my insurance is not open." The man's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and the bloody retribution he was about to face did not make him lose his dignity and courage.

"Have you ever killed someone?" This time it was Lifus who asked the question.

The man hesitated for a moment, and replied seriously: "I have killed, but I have killed all bad people." ”

"What do you use to distinguish good from bad? With your own code of ethics? And can people really easily distinguish between good and bad? "Human beings are very complex creatures, and if we simply distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, and good and evil, we believe that it is at least one-sided and not objective enough.

The man thought about it for a long time, perhaps because he felt that Lifus's question was a bit profound, and even hit the soul.

"That's right, I can't tell if a person is good or bad, but if it poses a threat to my life and my wife and children, I don't care what kind of person this person is, but at least in my case, this person will be characterized as a bad person, a bad person in our family." The man said thoughtfully.

"Do you eat human flesh?" Lifus asked another seemingly inconsequential question.

"Don't eat it." The man replied simply, without superfluous nonsense.

"I believe you." Lifus said.

A man with such a lovely wife and children should not want to show the cruelest side of the world in front of them.
