Chapter 4: Bonfires

Carrying the newly purchased supplementary equipment from the forging shop, Qin Ming walked alone on the road of renting back the house.

The camp is a little more lively at night than during the day, and the square outside the service center is full of bonfires.

The camp was not established for a long time, but it didn't attract enough adventurers, so it didn't have much to offer, and this kind of campfire was probably the only form of entertainment.

Hundreds of people sat around drinking beer, including soldiers, left-behind personnel and wounded people from major convoys, and the red light of the fire reflected on their wanton and excited faces.

Some people loudly talk about what they have seen and heard, causing others to exclaim, of course, occasionally boasting too much, and they will also make the opponent laugh.

When Qin Ming passed by here, he just glanced at this hot scene twice, and then his figure did not look at the alley next to him.

In the past few years, he has become accustomed to being alone in the dark, and it is out of place to stay on this occasion, so it is better to leave quietly.

However, it backfired, and after just a few steps, he ran into the soldier Ban Qiang head-on.

At this time, the other party was wearing toe clipping shoes, with a big vest and beach pants, and carrying several large bags of things in his hands, which was completely different from the image of being fully armed and majestic during the day.

"Qin boy, where are you going?"

Ban Qiang stood in front without any scruples, and pulled him back like a strong man, "Young people, don't be too detached, go over with me to drink and eat barbecue, and hi together...."

Qin Ming looked at the chattering Ban Qiang speechlessly, considering that the other party was enthusiastic about helping when he first came here, he hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Old class!" Someone waved in greeting.

Ban Qiang responded casually: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

Qin Ming looked at the past, it was a group of about ten people, most of them were sturdy, and they were all soldiers on leave like Ban Qiang.

"Uncle Ban, you're finally here, everyone is looking forward to you."

A young man stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, and consciously reached out to help Ban Qiang carry the bag.

"Go, go, I see you're just looking forward to what I'm hurting."

Ban Qiang couldn't help laughing and scolding, pretending to avoid it a few times, and finally handed the bag in his hand to the other party.

Seeing that Ban Qiang was still carrying someone by his side, the young man asked inquiringly, "Who is this brother?" ”

Ban Qiang said triumphantly: "He is Qin Ming, who happened to be caught by me, and brought him over to give you a few new acquaintances." ”

The young man was still familiar with the character of this senior, and he was generally only so indecent in front of his own people, so he stretched out his empty left hand with a kind attitude, "Hello, I'm Fang Yang!" ”

Qin Ming shook it politely and responded, "Qin Ming." ”

"Let's have a couple of drinks later."

Fang Yang took the two of them to the small territory of the soldiers, and immediately someone laughed.

"Fang Yang, quickly bring the meat specially marinated by our class boss, the barbecue grill is about to rust."

"Waiting day and night, our old class has finally fulfilled its promise, it's really not easy!"

In the face of the sarcasm of his colleagues, Ban Qiang patted his beer belly, and said with a smile: "Whoever twitters crookedly, I'll kill him later!" ”

The threat from the wine king in the oasis camp had an immediate effect, and the people who were originally coaxing hurriedly laughed and turned their heads, and some people got up to barbecue.

"Isn't this Xiao Qin?"

The bald head picked up a few cans of beer and threw them at Qin Ming and them one after another.

Qin Ming stretched out his hand to take it and thanked the other party.

"I almost forgot what I was doing when you interrupted me."

Ban Qiang patted his head, poured two sips of beer, and then stood up, "You all look at it, this is Qin Ming, the first adventurer to come to our oasis camp, if you don't know it, quickly recognize your face." ”

Facing the many looking eyes, Qin Ming knew that he should also say something, so he spoke: "I am Qin Ming, an independent warrior wandering in the wilderness, and I am honored to be able to gather with you tonight. ”

After speaking, he raised the beer in his hand and blew a bottle cleanly, which immediately won the applause of everyone.

Someone next to him recognized that the box Qin Ming put at his feet came from the forging room, so he asked, "Brother Qin, I seem to have heard the team leader talk about you, and he said that you only use cold weapons?" ”

Qin Ming nodded and replied, "Basically, only cold weapons are used, and it is inconvenient to replenish energy weapons, which is not in line with my combat methods, and the price you set is too high." ”

When Ban Qiang, who went to turn over the barbecue, came back, he just heard the last sentence and couldn't help but say: "It's not easy to get a discount, as long as you join the military, all resources will be open to you." ”

Unexpectedly, only an hour later, someone wanted to pull himself into the gang, and Qin Ming was suddenly slandered.

"Join the military, you don't have to drive a motorcycle by yourself, you just need to keep your spirits up, and jump out of the fighter plane directly when you get to the place, that's called a cool style!"

Ban Qiang patted Qin Ming's shoulder heavily and lit the cigarette handed over by others, "When the situation is urgent, you can also call for fire support, which is much better than doing it alone." ”

Qin Ming didn't answer the other party, he just silently picked up the second bottle of beer, his thoughts were surging, in fact, he had heard similar words countless times.

It started with the disaster five years ago, when countless families were destroyed and the military set up a large number of rear camps to accommodate refugees.

In order to fiercely enlist the masses, the daily propaganda slogan is more or less like this.

Of course, as a minor, he could not join, but was included in the seed program and received various training.

If all goes well, he has now followed the established trajectory and joined the military.

However, the world is impermanent, and the front line is suddenly and completely defeated, and the Zerg are wreaking havoc along the gap.

On the eve of the fall of the camp, their seeds were still training in the mountains around the camp.

In an emergency, the military sent only a small rotorcraft to pick up the best seeds.

Others who felt something was wrong hurried back to the camp, only to see the chaos and the repeated announcement of the escape on the radio.

Before they could recover from their stunned state, the figure of the Zerg appeared in the sky.

After several years of hard work, he also understood that it was the right choice for the military to evacuate immediately and abandon the car to protect the commander.

But in the upheaval of the occupied area, all the companions around him died, and he was driven to a dead end many times, if it wasn't for the unique potential that burst out, he would have become a thing that has become the stomach of the Zerg.

These things are not something that can be forgotten.

He didn't hate the military, but he always had such a pimple in his heart, and at the same time he was used to wandering, so he didn't think about joining the military again.

Although the other party has many resources, they also have advanced exercises that they crave.

"Boy, what are you stunned about, your share!" Ban Qiang suddenly shouted.

Qin Ming took the barbecue handed over by the other party and snuffed out the boring thoughts in his mind.

Take advantage of the opportunity for everyone to talk about the world and ask them about the recent situation.

The light of the bonfire continued until late at night, during which people left one after another, and Qin Ming also carried his equipment back to the bedroom.

At this time, there were not many people still here, probably only a dozen or so who were still drunk.

Fang Yang's face was flushed, and he said with a big tongue: "Uncle Ban, that kid doesn't appreciate it, you, you, you.... Why do you exalt him like that? Belch! ”

"Why?"

Ban Qiang threw out the last wine bottle and turned his head to glance at the other party, "Just because he is three years younger than you, he can hunt C-class creatures alone every time and come back without injury." ”

"How is that possible... You must be kidding me......" Fang Yang muttered two rounds of confusion, and simply fell to his stomach.

In the dead of night, the campfires went out and the temperature in the camp gradually cooled.....
