Chapter 21: The Moon, the Dark Wind, and the High Night (I)
An hour later, Guan Sheng picked up three bowls of dry rice and ate a large pot of meat before he went to take a shower, changed into a clean private army uniform, and stood in front of everyone again.
At this moment, the injuries on this cargo have been healed, the swelling on the face has subsided, and a face that looks quite capable and handsome, and the blue skin after shaving the beard has added a bit of masculinity to this product.
Only then did Lu Xing and the others see from the military uniform that this product turned out to be the rank of battalion commander of a private army.
"I can't see it, Brother Guan is still a battalion commander!"
Guan Sheng smiled: "How do you know the military rank?" ”
"I know a fart, the one I slaughtered before is a battalion commander, and I have seen his military uniform, so I know!"
The corners of Guan Sheng's eyes twitched, and the words of a battalion commander made him sound a little tired, as if he was talking about himself.
"You guys just rest here, this sister-in-law's leg injury should also take a good rest, if nothing else, I will come back here at about eight o'clock in the evening."
Then, he looked at Lu Xing's waist with an embarrassed expression: "...... That Ah Xing, can the battalion commander's gun be returned to me first, it's not very convenient for you to take it, and when you have a chance in the future, I'll get you a gun license inside, and you can carry a gun, hehehe, this gun is specially issued from above, and if you lose the gun, it's not good for Lao Guan's reputation. ”
Lu Xing took out Guan Sheng's pistol from his waist and handed it to him along with the holster: "What about the reputation, after losing all the brothers, I am left with a bare-bones commander and a reputation for fart, in my opinion, you are a deserter." ”
Guan Sheng took the pistol with a dark face, and walked towards the door without looking back, and he didn't dare to refute in the slightest, because in front of Lu Xing, any careful thinking would be learned by the other party, which simply made him have no place to reason.
After watching Guan Sheng leave, Ji Hongling turned back to Lu Xing and said, "Little brother, thank you for saving the black tiger, as long as you are here in 258 in the future, you can come to my sister for anything." ”
Lu Xing nodded: "Thank you, Sister Ji, we are new here, and we will inevitably trouble you in the future." ”
"Well, the little mouth is quite sweet, my sister loves to listen to this, these two houses are empty, you go in and rest, I usually have a lot of people here, if you want to hide your previous identity, just stay in the room and don't come out at will, I'll personally send it to you when you eat, I still have some things, so I'll go and get busy first!"
After Ji Hongling left, Long Dawei said with admiration: "In this troubled world, it is really not easy for a female generation to be able to support this family business!" ”
An Linglong suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed his ear: "Everyone is gone, but still looking, is this hot eyes?" ”
Long Dawei broke free of his wife's hand: "Talking nonsense, I'm just feeling the ability of others!" ”
Lu Xing smiled: "Auntie, this is jealous, Uncle Long, don't underestimate this woman, she is a physical evolutionary, her strength is even greater than that of Lao Guan, and her figure is very coordinated, she should be an agile type of evolutionary, I guess this is one of the fundamental reasons why she can stand in the slums of troubled times!" ”
Chu Tianxiong did give Lu Xing a lot of common knowledge about the convenience of evolution, so that he had a fairly clear understanding of evolutionaries.
Hearing Lu Xing's words, Long Dawei was taken aback: "Then this woman is also the type who can't see the light, otherwise there is someone inside." ”
"Well, but from the perception of her just now, she is a person you can trust, because I don't feel anything strange in her heart."
……
The midsummer night came very late, and when the sun set, Guan Sheng came back with a black face, and he first stood in front of the iron cage for a while, stroking the leopard's head, not knowing what he was thinking, and then walked into the tavern with a heavy mind.
Met the gaze of Ji Hongling standing at the bar, he smiled a little bitterly: "Hehe...... As punishment for the loss of my manpower, I had to lead my team to the south to participate in the battle, but the old men said that the battle there was very tight, and if I could not win No. 502 at the end of the summer, then when the rainy season came, all the efforts made in front of me would be in vain. ”
Ji Hongling frowned, in terms of the overall level of evolutionaries at this stage, personal abilities are still relatively inadequate compared to the general battlefield of meat grinders, such as Guan Sheng, evolutionaries are the objects that opponents focus on on the battlefield, and the possibility of their fall is much greater than that of ordinary people.
"Either defect or die, how do you choose?"
Guan Sheng was silent for a long time: "Defection, where can you flee, everyone's settlements are rubbing and fighting blood, and when we get to other settlements, can we be alone, we are all born here, at least we are all familiar faces, don't be distracted by the safety behind you, take one step at a time, by the way, have you found a shop or house to sell?" ”
"Well, I found two places, people are dying every day in the slums, and there are many idle houses, but the location of the houses is a little outside, I'm afraid that the safety is a little unstable!"
Guan Sheng thought for a while: "Don't worry about safety, you don't know, that stinky boy's ability is a little outrageous, he has a group of huge wild wolves as guards, and just arrange a few to ensure the safety of his family!" ”
"That's not good, the sudden appearance of an evolved wolf will cause unnecessary suspicion, otherwise get Xiao Jin over, I see that kid touching his head during the day, it should be able to appease Xiao Jin."
"Where's the pavement?"
"There is a ready-made clinic in the West District, and there is a small yard, but it is a little troublesome to deal with, because it is the brother-in-law of the boss of the 'Ram' Chamber of Commerce 'Black Hand', where will the goods see a doctor, it is completely a means to fool the poor, and I don't know whether I understand the pharmacology of herbs, and there are several poor insects who are killed by him every year!"
Guan Sheng pondered for a moment: "This is simple, let people be the 'black hand' brother-in-law, throw the corpse directly to him, and then directly occupy the shop, with the means of a stinky boy, it is estimated that it is easy to gain a foothold here, once I tested his physical strength, and the defense power is still above me, to put it bluntly, the 'ram' is a gang of rabble, it is okay to fight bravely in the slums, and against the evolutionaries, they will definitely not be able to make much waves!" ”
"Okay...... I'll take it personally, after all, they are your saviors, and if you don't arrange it, it will make people think that we are not on the road! ”
Guan Sheng raised his hand to block Ji Hongling, who was about to turn around: "You go to the 'ram' first, I'll deal with that liar doctor, no matter what, I have to make a posture of saluting first and then soldiering." ”
Ji Hongling nodded and went into his room in the tavern, Guan Sheng didn't go in, he turned around and strode away.
Just a few minutes after Guan Sheng left, Ji Hongling walked out of the 'Yaksha Tavern' with an old man and a young man, and headed in the direction of the West District, but what Ji Hongling didn't know was that after she walked out of the tavern, a tall figure, carrying a longbow, quietly jumped on the roof, and then hung about thirty meters behind them and quietly followed.
The location of the 'Yaksha' tavern is in the north of Settlement 258, and you only need to walk two kilometers down the street in front of the door to get to the west side.
Next to the main road leading to the city in the western district, a two-story building about the size of the Yaksha Tavern has a rusty red iron sign on the roof, on which is painted a huge ram with curved horns, and its eyes look like a living thing, and the appearance is particularly expressive, and it is almost impossible to shake off the sign of the 'Yaksha' tavern and I don't know how many streets to go.
Most of the people in the slums know that this is the 'ram' chamber of commerce, which mainly sells the meat they have hunted.
But few people know that one of the largest underworld associations in the slums is the 'Ram', which has more than 100 people, and the leading 'black hand' is nicknamed the black hand because it is ruthless enough, and it is precisely because of the ruthlessness of the people, fighting and daring to kill the hand, that it has gained a firm foothold in the slums, and more than ten years have passed, and the power has almost spread throughout the entire western district.
In today's troubled times, human nature has such an inferior root, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of not dying, the 'ram' gang is under the leadership of the black boss 'black hand', fighting and robbing, buying and selling, bullying the weak, raping women is simply evil, ordinary poor people also dare to be angry and dare not speak, those private soldiers who come out of the high walls to maintain order, also because of accepting bribes and turning a blind eye, let this cancer do evil.
Because the West District is close to the North District, the people in the North District basically know that there is such a chamber of commerce organization called 'Ram'.
The dark night was extremely dark, and at the entrance of the 'Ram' Chamber of Commerce, two solar lights emitted a not-so-bright fluorescence.
In the Chamber of Commerce, the lights were on as usual, and the 'black hand' was sitting on the sofa in the hall on the second floor, holding a scantily clad young woman in his arms, and the other hand had reached under the woman's skirt.
In the hall on the first floor, several of his subordinates were busy settling today's income.
"Stop, who's who?"
"Bang bang...... Poof! ”
Suddenly, the voice of the gatekeeper came from outside the door, as if questioning someone, but it was followed by two unusually loud slaps, and both gatekeepers seemed to be slapped to the ground.
"Bastard, blind your dog's eyes, you dare to stop Sister Thistle!"
An angry rebuke rang out, followed by a kick open the door, and then three figures appeared in the doorway.
When the ram members in the hall saw these three figures, they immediately picked up their respective guns and aimed at the door.
The 'black hand' on the second floor heard the voice, reached out and pushed the woman in his arms away, then walked to the stairs and looked towards the doorway on the first floor.
When he saw Ji Hongling at the door, his pupils suddenly contracted, which was his reaction in the face of a huge crisis.
"Stop!"
After recognizing that it was Ji Hongling, the 'black hand' stopped his men and put on a smiling face.
"Roar...... Isn't this Sister Thistle, what kind of wind blew you here, you all retreated, and you didn't have the ...... to see it?"
"Nima's ...... Bastard thing, give you face, right, talk to the eldest sister, and still look so condescending, is it underpumping or how to drop! ”
The young man next to Ji Hongling was not polite to the 'black hand' at all, and scolded angrily to let this thing get down and talk.
The face of the 'black hand' was black, and he was scolded in front of his subordinates, which made him, the boss, really embarrassed and almost vomited, but he didn't dare to have a seizure, because there is a legend about Ji Hongling in the slums, and anyone who can't get along with her has evaporated from the world without exception, and some people have even seen her slap an officer of the private army on the street, which is a terrible mess.
No matter how bullish his 'black hand' is, he doesn't have the capital to compete with the private army, even if he is an ordinary soldier, his identity is just a pariah in the eyes of the private army.
