Chapter 106: Strange Boy
After Ye Bing took out the crystal, he glanced at it with a little bit of his eyes, and threw it into the backpack behind him.
When he raised his eyes again, he saw Wang Zhantao and the others looking straight at his backpack.
Looking at Ye Bing looking back, Wang Zhantao was stunned, then thought of something, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I didn't expect this monster to be able to take things out of its head, and I'm just a little curious."
Ye Bing looked at him quietly for a while, and from the face of this man with a Chinese character face, he didn't smell any dirty smell. From the time before when he dared to fight the Flame Dog with his own life, he could see how good this man was, so he didn't doubt it much.
Ye Bing waved his hand indifferently.
Seeing that the recovery truck driving by the side had already recovered the entire body of the Flame Dog on its own, he didn't plan to stay longer.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, there was a sudden burst of shouting and scolding from the residents in the corridor:
"You scourge, get out of here!"
"Almost killed us!"
"Coward, bastard guy who only dares to hide behind!"
Ye Bing followed the sound and saw that a group of residents were pushing a thin figure and walking out, and they were pushed straight away, but they kept their heads down and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhantao's brows furrowed suddenly.
He turned back to the crowd and asked loudly, "Hey, what are you doing!" ”
One of them grabbed the thin figure by the collar and said:
"Brother Tao, we can't keep this kid anymore, it won't work for anything, not to mention it, and we have to provoke monsters, and next time, we all have to bury him!"
Another person accosted: "Brother Tao, last time we were thinking about the relationship between our old neighbors, and I listened to you once." But look at it, it's only been a long time, and it's been so annoying. If other monsters come to you, not only you, but our family will also be implicated! ”
"Yes, yes!"
"This kid must get out of here!"
Seeing that everyone was resolute, and there was no room for discussion in their tones, Wang Zhantao's face also showed a trace of hesitation.
No matter how much he wanted to protect the innocent, he himself knew that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Ye Bing and his mysterious people this time, he and the neighbors of the entire building would not be able to escape a dead end. In this case, if you insist on protecting that teenager, I am afraid that it will really anger the residents of the whole building!
Wang Zhantao moved his gaze to the young man's face, thinking that he could see a look of begging for mercy or fear, but he only saw numbness.
For a moment, Wang Zhantao couldn't help but muttering in his heart.
Perhaps, this young man himself has no belief in living, and the reason why he has not died is probably just an instinct to survive......
He sighed and said no more.
Seeing that Wang Zhantao finally stopped stopping him, the angry residents pushed the boy again and pushed him straight out of the apartment door.
At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came, interrupting everyone's movements.
"Wait a minute."
The residents looked in the direction from which the voice came and stopped moving, and no one dared to move again.
Not to mention those ethereal life-saving graces, the assault rifle in Ye Bing's hand alone was enough for the residents to weigh it before acting.
Seeing that the residents were quiet, Ye Bing pointed to the thin young man in front of the crowd and asked:
"I heard you say that it was this kid who provoked the Flame Dog. What's going on here? ”
As soon as he heard Ye Bing ask this, a straightforward resident immediately replied:
"Ah, this kid has no father or mother since he was a child, and it's weird ......"
As soon as the man was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if there was some kind of terrifying aura permeating him, and he suddenly didn't dare to say it again. He vaguely sensed that the mysterious person in front of him seemed to be particularly sensitive to a certain sentence above.
As soon as he stopped, someone immediately answered:
"Since the Cataclysm some time ago, this kid has always been mysterious, occasionally muttering that there are monsters looking for him nearby. At first, we didn't pay much attention to it, we just thought he was saying something stupid, but who knew that there were more and more monsters nearby, and some would lie in front of the building and sniff, scaring the women and children in the building half to death. We had already said that we would let him go, but Zhan Tao kept holding back, which was good, and almost put the whole building in. ”
Hearing this, Ye Bing's eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
"How many monsters like this one have appeared before?" He asked.
The residents counted them, and one of them replied:
"There are four or five of them, to say the least."
The others immediately responded:
"Well, it's only four or five."
"Yes."
This is the first cataclysm, and in just over twenty days, you can encounter four or five mutant beasts?
Such a high frequency can never be described as accidental.
How often?
You know, at this stage, I'm afraid that the number of mutant beasts in the whole city combined is only a few hundred!
In such a situation, encountering four or five mutant beasts in the same small place in a row is not much more likely than buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.
Thinking of this, combined with the strange performance of the teenager, Ye Bing had already determined that the residents were talking about eight or nine.
He suddenly stepped up to the boy and looked down at him.
This young man looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, but his hair was long and shoulder-length, if it weren't for the male characteristics that were obvious enough, Ye Bing would have almost recognized him as a girl at first. He has medium-long and long hair that is messy, and his clothes are already in tatters, and he has obviously not taken care of them for a long time.
Due to the obscuration of his hair, Ye Bing couldn't see the young man's appearance clearly, and could only see the corners of his gentle mouth.
At such a time, he was able to stop crying, not making trouble, not shouting or screaming.
If it's not strong enough, maybe it's numb.
Ye Bing thought to himself in his heart.
He suddenly crouched down in front of the young man and asked:
"Why did they let you go and you didn't say a word?"
The teenager did not respond immediately.
The residents on the side laughed and said, "This is a fool, it's useless for you to talk to him!" ”
Ye Bing ignored them, still looking straight at the young man.
After a while, the young man finally spoke, but the voice was completely devoid of the innocence and splendor of his age, but like a pool of stagnant water, silent and tasteless:
"Because no matter what I say, things are not going to change."
Hearing this, Ye Bing's eyebrows suddenly raised!
The inhabitants were quiet again. Obviously, even they rarely heard what the boy said.
Ye Bing asked again:
"Aren't you scared, then?"
The young man's body paused, and then replied calmly:
"Perhaps."
…… Perhaps?
Ye Bing was silent for a long time and threw out the last question:
"Why do you know there's a mutant beast looking for you?"
Hearing this question, the boy's body trembled again, but compared to the previous time, this time the tremor was significantly more intense!
Ye Bing's eyes suddenly lit up!
Seeing the young man's reaction, he knew that what he had guessed before was already eight or nine!
After a few seconds, the teenager's tremors faded.
He raised his head, his eyes looking at Ye Bing through his thick and dirty hair, like a pair of bright stars in the dark night.
"Because, while they feel my presence, I can also feel their presence!"
