The road zigzags forward, passing many ruins along the way. Whether it's a paint-peeling mailbox, a weedy garden, or a stroller thrown on the side of the road, it's a silent reminder that this was once a peaceful, welcoming town.

Sue was still surveying the terrain, every town or village. Each township may be the chosen battlefield, and time does not allow him to go too far, so exploring the terrain and environment as much as possible is the most important preparation before the battle.

At dusk again, Sue finally found a settlement. It was a large settlement built on an abandoned town with nearly 1,000 inhabitants throughout the settlement, named after Saratoga, the original town's name.

Sue is an easy person to gain the favor of strangers, and although his bandaged appearance is prohibitive, most people will be strangely relaxed when they meet his beautiful blue and gray eyes. And Barrett on Sue's back is a symbol of strength, only high-level snipers can afford an expensive guy like Barrett. Everyone has greed, and everyone has fear. The belongings of a single traveler are easy to peep at, but when the weapon is Barrett, people's greed turns to fear. Behind every Barrett, there are hundreds of lives lost.

Within an hour of arriving at the settlement, Sue had basically figured out the topography of the place.

The settlement has not only a chieftain, but also a police and armed force of 20 people, a bar, a few shops, and even a clinic. This clinic is not a typical envelope with only one doctor, it has doctors, equipment to perform surgeries, and even four nurses. The clinic is large, and there are several rooms on the side, which are inpatient units for surgeries or people with serious injuries. The nurses at the clinic are young and good-looking, and they are among the best in Saratogari.

They were the private property of the doctors, in other words, slaves. The doctor bought them one after the other and trained them in the basic skills of nurses so that they could help in the clinic. When doctors are in need, they also seek them to vent their desires. If a patient who comes to the clinic wants to beat them up, of course you can, provided you pay for it. From the perspective of the income structure of the clinic, the income brought by the four nurses is much higher than the regular diagnosis and treatment fee. In addition to providing them with basic food and clothing, doctors also allow them to keep a little of their personal property. Sometimes he is happy and becomes very generous. This leaves them with no choice but to escape, and if they leave her, these young women who have no ability to protect themselves will be free, but at the cost of their lives.

In Saratoga, slavery was legal, and legality was guaranteed by the automatic rifles of the armed forces. Escaped slaves were hunted down, and those caught were severely punished. Men are amputated or tortured to death, while women are open to all males of the colony**. In order to maintain the authority of the system, Saratoga joined forces with other settlements within 100 kilometers of the neighborhood to hunt down slaves who had escaped from each settlement. It was difficult for a slave without any means of transportation to get out of the area on foot. If the lucky one succeeds, there is a not too high mountain range to the west, and a large meadow and jungle to the north. Either way, there are a plethora of deadly mutated creatures waiting for these delicious slaves.

Everywhere Sue walked for as long as he can remember, most of them supported or at least acquiesced in slavery. Saratoga does the same thing as most settlements. Slaves were also used by many corporations and organizations of all kinds, whether or not they ostensibly supported the system. The turbulent years are long enough that most people have begun to take violence and pillage for granted, but there are still many organizations that are willing to put a veil of warmth on themselves, either out of retro ideas or for some purpose.

For thousands of years, places like taverns have been hubs for information, and turbulent times are no exception. Although mobile phones, the Internet, and other forms of information exchange dominated at the end of the old era, and the amount of information was suffocating, places such as bars that relied on primitive methods of communication still survived and prospered. Even in the turbulent years, bars could be found in almost every settlement of size. Those settlements that don't have bars are not because they don't want to have them, but because they can't serve alcohol.

Matching the size of Saratoga, the bar here isn't small. The dim lighting, the flashing laser spotlights from nowhere, the frenzied electronic music, and the murky air mixed with the smell of sweat, body odor, perfume and alcohol all make up the absurd and decadent tone of this bar. There were a lot of people in the bar, a lot of women, and the most guns.

When Sue walked into the bar, a woman on the stage who was not very beautiful, but young enough, was writhing, and the meagre fabric on her body covered parts that were not at all what should have been blocked. The girl's skin is good, but of course this is by the standards of the wilderness. And she was very clean, and it was obvious that she had spent a lot of money on a shower. Almost all the men and women in the bar crowded around the stage, and countless eyes were on this woman, especially her nicely shaped ass. Men want to pinch two handfuls hard, and women want to grab two handfuls hard.

A man jumps on the stage and talks out loud about the woman, and the price, somewhat inappropriately. It seems that this woman is his private property. Men babble about the benefits of sleeping with a woman who has taken a bath, and the money for bathing is not included in the woman's worth. At the instigation of the man, the stimulation of the woman's body and the effect of alcohol, someone began to bid, and then the scene became enthusiastic.

Sue found a table in the corner and placed Barrett against the wall. Although the body of the gun is wrapped in strips of cloth, Barrett's characteristic rough, wild and cold aura still attracts the attention of some people, many of whom can recognize the most famous sniper rifle of the old era by its silhouette alone. Sue's not-so-strong body contrasts sharply with this expensive gun, and it's heartwarming. It's just that those who can recognize Barrett are not brainless people, and they never think that muscle size is the only measure of combat effectiveness. The value of a warrior's weapon is often directly proportional to his combat effectiveness.

"Sir, may I buy a glass of wine?" A timid girl's voice came from the side.

Su turned her head to look and saw a little girl at most fourteen or fifteen years old standing at the table, holding half a bottle of whiskey of unknown brand in her arms, and holding a glass in her right hand. The little girl was thin and thin, and she had already reached the age of development, but through the thin shirt, there was no sign of a protrusion on the front of the chest. Her face was barely delicate, and she looked like a girl.

Seeing the girl biting her lower lip and her hopeful eyes, Su's heart moved slightly. The little girl who used to depend on each other back then, now, should be so tall, right? No, no, she follows Angelina's side, she should be well-developed, and now she must be an unimaginable beauty, and there will be many people pursuing her, right?

Su thought, a little abrupt and a little relieved.

The little girl next to her, who was trying to hold her glass, finally caught Sue's attention again, and he gently asked the price, then took out 50 coins and bought the half bottle of wine. Su knew that if she couldn't sell all the half bottle tonight, the little girl would definitely be punished. The money was snatched from Roxerland anyway, and Sue didn't feel heartache at all. But he seemed to have forgotten that in order to reduce the weight, he only took a total of 60 yuan.

The girl was incredulous, and stayed for a full minute before running away, forgetting to say thank you.

There were some people in the bar who were quietly watching Sue, and Sue didn't care. In almost every place, strange strangers are noticeable. A few people were eager to try, but after their eyes went back and forth a few times on the bandages on Barrett and Sue's bodies, they finally gave up on the tempting idea.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and already had a rather burdensome belly walked over and sat opposite Sue. He glanced in the direction the little girl had departed, and said, "I will pay half the price of this wine." ”

Looking at the 25 yuan that the middle-aged man put on the table, Su did not refuse, but put them away.

"You know, what you just did may not get the results you want." The middle-aged man said meaningfully.

The little girl rushed out of the bar again, and stood at Sue's table, looking at Sue again with hope. In a short period of time, her little face was much cleaner, her hair was scattered, and it was dipped in water and combed, which looked much more beautiful, with a bit of mature taste, but her face still had a youthful childishness. You don't have to think about it to know that there are many men who are good at this bite.

"Sir, can you buy me?" The little girl said eagerly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Su, spread his hands, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured himself a full glass, and drank it slowly.

Su looked at the little girl and didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Su didn't answer, the girl was a little anxious and said, "Although I am small, I know a lot of things, and I will definitely make you comfortable!" ”

Sue still didn't speak. In order to prove herself, the girl grabbed Sue's hand, sandwiched it between her legs, and began to twist her waist flexibly. Despite her thin body, she has flesh on her legs, and her waist is soft, flexible, and quite strong. As she said, she is a girl who is very comfortable with men, and she is young.

Su sighed, withdrew his hand, and said, "I only have 35 yuan on me now, and there is still 25 yuan that this gentleman just gave me." ”

His voice was always as gentle as water.

Sue's answer surprised the girl, she looked at Su, and then at the gun that Su had placed next to the wall, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she whimpered, "You are lying! You are very rich, you only need 500 yuan to buy me, no, 400 yuan is enough! You're just...... You just don't want to buy me! ”

The middle-aged man drank quickly, and almost the entire bottle of wine was drunk in this meeting, and his face was slightly flushed. He touched the thick beard on his upper lip and said, "Hey, little one, it's all right!" You've had enough chances, but he's not fooled. Okay, go back, you've had a good harvest tonight, at least three days of selling wine. ”

"But I'm real!" The little girl cried out.

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and the girl didn't dare to speak anymore, so she lowered her head and sobbed and ran back to the back of the bar.

"If you do buy her, when you leave Saramento, she'll find a chance to run away and come back here. This is not the first time. Those fools who dared to come back to ask for people, if they were lucky, they were thrown out with a few broken bones, and if they were unlucky, they were directly chopped up and sold to nearby homeless people. The middle-aged man lit a cigarette and said leisurely.

"I know." Sue smiled.

He picked up the untouched glass in front of him, poured it on his right hand, which had just been sandwiched between the little girl's legs, and struck a match to light it. A faint blue flame illuminated a small piece of the table, and it matched Su Bi's eyes.

At this moment, the young woman on the stage already had a buyer, and the men and women who were excitedly clustered in front of the stage finally dispersed. Many people saw Sue's burning right hand.

The alcohol quickly burned out, and the bandage on Su's right hand was already scorched, but he seemed to be painless at all, and his right hand moved freely. Many of the eyes that looked over immediately turned from greed to fear, and some of them were a little awe-inspiring and began to avoid Su's side.

The middle-aged man looked at Su's right hand, his face changed a few times, sighed, and said, "I thought that your ability was in the psionic domain, but I didn't expect you to be a spell-like domain!" ”

Sue still smiled, not admitting it, not denying it.

The middle-aged man had begun to get used to Su's silence and few words, and said to himself: "But no matter how capable you are, you can't save everyone." ”

Su thought for a while, and then said, "I will only do what I want to do and can do, as for the result, it doesn't matter." For example, tonight, all I want to do is buy this bottle. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Su for a while, shook his head and said, "You're not." ”

As if knowing that Sue would not answer this question, he said, "Look at you, you are going to stay in this area for a while." If you need help or want to make some money, you can come to me. My name is Quinn, and I think you'll need more than one friend in the area. ”

Sue became a little interested and asked, "What can you offer?" ”

"Information, intelligence, ammunition and firearms, of course not the big goods, but women, all kinds of women, I can find them. If you prove that you are capable enough, I may be able to find an opportunity for you to join a really big company. Quinn said nonchalantly as he stared at the naked women dancing violently on the stage.

Su also looked at the dancers on stage and said, "Sounds amazing." Which company do you belong to? ”

Quinn smiled at Sue and said, "I'm neutral." ”

Sue didn't question Quinn's words, but said directly: "I think I need the location and corresponding information of all settlements within 100 kilometers." ”

Quinn patted the bottle on the table and said, "For tonight's sake, it's free." ”

Su was not about to refuse this obvious kindness: "So where are we going to get a map, or get information." ”

"Right here." Quinn pointed to his head and said, "Everything you want is here." ”

Next, the two chatted casually while watching the hot performance of the dancers on stage. Strings of numbers came out of Quinn's mouth and formed a clear place in Sue's mind, with precise and detailed annotations. Even Su was a little surprised by Quinn's memory, even how many residents there were in each of the 7 nearby settlements, who the leader was, how many armed men there were, how many women the leader had, and what each of these women looked like clearly, this kind of memory was really a bit inhuman.

In the blink of an eye, the night was dark, and after Sue got the information she wanted and left Quinn's contact information, she reached out and picked up the huge Barrett, and walked out of the bar with Quinn.

Quinn put his hands in his jacket pockets and smiled ambiguously: "Are you going back to the hotel, do you want me to find you two girls?" Guaranteed not to be more than 15 years old. Of course, this comes at a cost. ”

Sue smiled and said, "I can't afford to pay your chick right now." ”

"Are you just going back to sleep? But my chicks are good, you can owe some of the debt, but don't expect me to cut the price. Quinn said.

"No, I'm going to check out the other settlements."

"Now?" Quinn was a little surprised.

"Now." Sue carried Barrett on his back.

Quinn touched his beard helplessly and said, "Whoever dares to walk through the wilderness alone at night must be a madman." If you're in trouble in other settlements, say you're a friend of Quinn's and they won't go too far. ”

"Why help me? I can't even afford to find a woman right now. Su Bilu's eyes shone faintly in the night.

Quinn laughed and said, "Because you are young, because I am optimistic about your future, because I want to make a lot of money from our cooperation in the future." Most hunters need a friend like me, because you know how to deal with the wilderness and all kinds of mutated creatures, but you don't know how to deal with other people. Of course, the last reason is this Barrett on you, which is very much to my appetite. ”

Sue touched Barrett, who was wrapped in strips of cloth on his back, and said with a smile, "Really? It was a good gun, and I spent almost all my savings to buy it. ”

Quinn shook his head and said, "I don't like Barrett because it's expensive enough, and likewise, it's not because you carry Barrett that I want to deal with you." To be honest, I've seen several snipers carrying RF300A, but they're just general business dealings. I'm bullish on you because you could have used the RF300A, but you still chose Barrett. ”

Sue stood still, looking at Quinn.

Quinn's beard jumped and said, "Hey man, don't look at me like that!" The few things you show on your body are not cheap, and if you sell them, you will definitely be able to buy an RF300A. Snipers will buy as good a gun as they can if they have money on hand. But you didn't. ”

Su relaxed a little and said, "Just for this reason, it doesn't seem to be worth your favor on me." ”

Quinn laughed and said, "You are very much to my liking, in fact, this one reason is enough!" Only a really rough man would choose a pure man's thing like Barrett!"

Hearing the word rough man, Su's feeling first slid down his body like flowing water, and then he couldn't cry or laugh.

With Quinn's intel in hand, Sue left Saratoga in the darkness of the night. Over the next two days, Sue traveled through seven settlements around Saratoga before quietly disappearing, never to be seen again.

Unlike the last chase, this time Su was determined to use patience to maneuver his opponent.

As the morning sun pours down on this bustling area, the roar of off-road vehicle engines shatters the silence of Saratoga. Eleven off-road vehicles fanned to a halt and faced Saratoga in a semi-encircled position.

Luther's face was covered with deep wrinkles, the marks of a life of constant fighting for the past thirty years. He looked at the electronic tactical board in his hand and said to Justin beside him, "Did you find him?" ”

Justin took a deep breath, licked his lips with his equally crimson tongue, and said, "I don't feel it at all right now." But he should be in this area! ”

Luther's brows furrowed as he looked beyond Saratoga into the distance, still hidden in the mist. When Justin is talking about this area, he is referring to a large area within a radius of tens of kilometers. It really takes patience to find a hunter who is good at hiding in such a large area.

Throughout, the Dark Dragoon didn't glance at the growing number of residents at Saratoga's doorstep, as if they had never existed.
