Chapter 17. Heaven is too far away, Colombia is too close
The horses of the Jack Gang in blue were frightened, and they didn't dare to move when they were pressed by the back of the knife, and shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender!" ”
Zhou Jinru didn't intend to kill people at first, so he let Hong knock out the gang members who were blocking the road, and when he heard Ma Zai begging for mercy, he slapped the other party's shoulder with the blade of a knife: "Get up, whatever I ask, you will answer." ”
"Yes, yes, I will say it without reservation."
Ma Zai got up from the ground, caught a glimpse of those knocked unconscious peers out of the corner of his eye, trembled, and thought that this time he had encountered a hard stubble, the little girl in a red coat looked harmless to humans and animals, but in fact her strength was strong, so close to the distance, most of them couldn't run away, and ......
He stared at the long knife against his shoulder, and with a slight slash of the sharp blade, he would have lost his life.
The members of the blue-clothed Jack Gang had already dispersed, and Zhou Jinru was not worried that they would run back to report the news, grabbing the horse boy in front of him, with a smile in his eyes: "How long have you been blocking the road here?" ”
"Not much, one ...... Two days. ”
"As soon as Mr. Timos died, you jumped out and broke the rules?"
As soon as he heard this, Ma Zai almost cried: "I'm just a little brother, how can I be qualified to break the rules of the old godfather." ”
Zhou Jinru snorted, saw Hong driving the locomotive over, and said casually: "I don't care who bought you, send a message to your boss and dismantle the barricade, if I come back and find that the barricade is still there, I will dismantle him, the blue-clothed Jack Gang, I remember." ”
Zhou Jinru slowly took two steps back, turned into the car, and drove into an alley.
The red pointed ears gently rubbed his chin, and the girl's confused expression was revealed in the rearview mirror, Zhou Jinru pursed his lips and said seriously: "You want to ask why I am soft-hearted?" ”
The speed of the car decreased, and the man rubbed the girl's hair: "Because this is the Rust Belt people's own business, no matter how much I do, I am also an outsider, the Rust Belt wants to get back what was lost more than a hundred years ago, so that the broken backbone can stand up, it is impossible not to go through the test of blood and fire, it is necessary for them to fight with weapons, to bleed, and finally to really stand up." ”
The wheels spun on the damp ground, raising a black speck of mud, and the light from the headlights flew into the distance, and the roar of the engine was especially loud in the silence of the night.
There were no people in the factory in St. Aral on weekdays, only homeless people who had nowhere to go to live, and after that night, even the homeless people were much less, and a considerable number of them joined the integration movement.
According to the Operators' reports, the integration movement was scattered throughout the city, and seeing the Patriots and Mephistopheles operating together, with the suppression of an old officer, the indulgent little boy was much more restrained.
By the way, Zhou Jinru did not see any trace of Faust in any of the reports, he disappeared like a shadow and did not appear for a long time.
"Our target is the Rhine Institute of Life, Hemmer has been recuperating since he was injured, Serena is afraid that the movement will break the wound, so he didn't move the place, the mourners, the Yanke and the red cloud are all over there, I am still more relieved."
Zhou Jinru's words failed to restore Hong's spirits, and Miss Ruper didn't say anything, but kept complaining in her heart that he ran out of the camp without permission, or abducted her out, and he would definitely be taught a lesson by Dr. Kelsey when he returned......
"Then we're not going back?"
Zhou Jinru said jokingly, he never thought that the girl in his arms was moved for a moment, thinking about what it would be like if the two of them went to wander the world, and couldn't help but shrink his body again.
The deeper he went into the city, the deeper Zhou Jinru's understanding of the city became, knowing that St. Al had reached the point where he had to make changes, there were few cars to be seen, and everywhere he could see were old buildings, poor earthquake resistance, and the earthquake that night collapsed a lot, and countless people were injured, and these were all things he had not taken into account before.
The constraints of various conditions have made the evacuation operation mired.
"Thankfully, the mines are across the street from the city."
Zhou Jinru's rejoicing did not last long, and he was hit by a second wave of gangs that blocked the road and robbed.
"Parking! Stop the car! ”
"Hand over everything of value!"
"There are two of them!"
Several cars suddenly drove out of the walls on both sides of the road in front of them to block the way, the same way as the Jack Gang in Blue, but this time there were more people around, and the types of weapons were more varied.
"Doctor, can't you still kill?"
Zhou Jinru nodded slightly: "Try not to." ”
Pulling on the brakes, propping his right foot on the ground, he looked at the gang members rushing out of the car on the opposite side, and clenched the long knife hanging from the side of the locomotive.
"St. Al is not the city of Chelsea, there is no integration movement raging here, it has not been destroyed by natural disasters, and you are blocking the road and looting, like a city full of chaos (Note 1)."
Zhou Jinru has been lying for a few days, his bones are about to rust, he is a person who can't sit still, he was restrained by Amiya and Kelsey in the camp, and now he is not out of the sky and let the birds fly?
A long knife flew up and down in his hand, cutting down two arrows that came over, his steps were steady, and the knife and axe were all fearless, his body turned, clanged and slashed, swinging away the knife and axe that he had seen from the front, and flashed sideways between the two, the action was so fast that the two horses didn't even have time to react.
In a trance, Zhou Jinru found that he was already so strong, and since he became an infected person, his all-round ability has been greatly improved, and what he lacks to catch up with senior operators is combat experience.
Poof.
Poof.
The back of the knife smashed into the back of the necks of the two horses, and the two of them collapsed in unison, and when they turned around, Red had already stunned several people, and none of the shooters standing on the roof of the car could escape, and the rest were scattered as birds and beasts, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Red found a live mouth."
……
……
Dennis is a timid boy, only 17 years old this year, after graduating from junior high school, he entered the factory as an apprentice early, but the performance of the factory has been declining year after year, if it were not for the support of the old godfather, he may not even be able to find a job.
But that was all in the past, with the death of the old godfather, St. Aral fell into a brief period of chaos, the factory shut down, and he had to join Ausveld's gang as a horse boy in order to make a living, so that he could still have a bite to eat.
Unfortunately, when they robbed two passers-by, they thought that they would finally be able to open after waiting for a night, but they didn't expect the boat to capsize in the gutter, and they were easily knocked down by the other party, so they had to transfer tactically.
Dennis, who had been staying in the car, did not dare to move, until there was no movement outside, he dared to raise his head and look out the window, but what he saw was the indifferent face of a girl.
Yes!!!
Dennis was frightened, and sat in the car, his body shaking like chaff, pointing to the girl's face outside the car window and stammering speechless.
"Red found a live mouth."
This sentence shocked Dennis almost on the spot, if he was the living mouth, it means that everyone outside is dead, and according to convention, he will also die.
Click!
I saw someone knock on the window from outside the car, and a hand reached in to open the door, and a man's voice came:
"Red, don't scare anyone, we didn't kill anyone here."
The man who spoke stood at the door of the car and showed a reasonable smile at the trembling Dennis: "Come out, ask you a few words, don't be nervous, we are not good people." ”
If you say that, I won't dare to go out.
Dennis looked at the long knife in the man's hand, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and moved out of the carriage with his waist bent.
Zhou Jinru grabbed the boy's collar and played with the taste: "It seems that you don't want to be a good man with them." ”
Dennis glanced at the gang members who fell to the ground a few times, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, but now he didn't care about this, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I didn't do anything, I'm innocent, don't kill me!" ”
I don't know why, Dennis didn't dare to look into this man's eyes, and if he looked more, the fear in his heart would deepen.
"I asked, did you understand?"
This is the second time Zhou Jinru has said the same line tonight, and he feels like a villain who can't survive three episodes.
Dennis was already crying, he was a Walper, short in stature, both because of his race and because of malnutrition as a child, in short, he was only as tall as a man's chest, and his limbs were like bamboo poles, and he looked weak.
"You're from that gang?"
"Austerswid."
"How long have you been robbing passers-by here?"
"It's only been one day, and tonight is my first ......"
Zhou Jinru raised his eyebrows: "Tell me a reason." ”
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Boss Oswald said that those rich people have gone to the big ships to enjoy their happiness, and they will definitely not be stingy with a tip for us." ”
Zhou Jinru asked again: "You didn't want to get on the big boat together?" ”
"No, no," Dennis secretly looked at Zhou Jinru's face and said cautiously, "The big ship is not something that poor people like us can go to, the ticket is very expensive, and the number of places is limited. ”
Zhou Jinru smiled and couldn't see any emotional changes: "This is also what that Osvid told you?" ”
Dennis nodded, quickly shook his head in denial, and spoke more and more fluently: "A long time ago, my mother told me not to have any extravagant expectations for the big ship, boss, no, Osvid just repeated, all of us think so, the big ship is not something we can go to." ”
"Your boss is lying to you, anyone can go to the big ship, Mr. Timos has no restrictions, as long as you want to get on the ship, you can go to register, take your family with you."
Zhou Jinru sighed, let go of his hand, and could see that the half-grown kid in front of him had no knowledge, and he was easily fooled by the so-called boss.
In fact, it is not surprising that most people living in Santo Aral have little hope of getting on the boat, and since their ancestors have instilled in their children the idea that mobile cities are places where only the rich can go, and these ideas have also come from the official suppression of the Rust Belt in Colombia.
Not only physical oppression, but also mental castration.
"I can now understand why that old Russell guy is in a hurry to act, even at the expense of cooperating with the deep sea."
Zhou Jinru pushed Dennis, motioned for him to leave quickly, and turned to red.
Russell's actions were compelled to do, as the godfather of the Rust Belt, he knew the local situation well, and knew what Colombia would do to the Rust Belt without San Martin's control, and if he didn't act, the Rust Belt would never have a chance.
As they have talked about, the official Colombian Rust Belt is a dimensionality reduction strike.
In Zhou Jinru's heart, Lin Xiaoxi and Russell are the same kind of people, after the former saw the dream world, he stepped on the tide of the times, only believed in himself, and finally embarked on the road of mechanical ascension, using the deep sea to fight against the deep sea; The latter held a bad hand and played a four-six-game situation, exchanging interests with the black hand behind the integration movement, so that Ursas, Victoria and Syracuse jointly recognized the independence of Sant'Aral, and Colombia was caught off guard and planted a big heel.
Don't underestimate the world.
Just as Zhou Jinru was about to leave, the boy went and returned, chasing after him and shouting, "Sir! Mr! Can I come with you?! ”
"You're coming with me?"
Zhou Jinru patted the locomotive faucet: "You can't keep up with me." ”
"I'll try to keep up with you, sir, listen to your accent, you're not a local, are you? I've been running around the city for as long as I can remember, there's no place I don't know, and now it's dark lights everywhere and you should need a guide. ”
Interesting.
Zhou Jinru looked at the boy's eyes and said with interest: "Then how can you keep up with me?" ”
"Wait a minute."
The boy turned and ran away, and out of the darkness drove a side three-wheeled motorcycle, quite old, with various colored threads wrapped around the body, and it looked like it had been modified.
This kind of car is now rare and belongs to the models that were eliminated in the last century.
"I should be able to keep up with you."
"Okay, what about your parents?"
"I didn't have parents two years ago."
"I'm sorry."
Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds, touching his red hand, Miss Ruper sat in the back seat, hugging his waist tightly from behind.
"I'll go to the Rhine Institute of Life, you know, lead the way, don't play tricks."
"How come, the Rhine Institute for Life is right, I know the way, please follow me."
The engine of the side three-wheeled motorcycle made a loud noise, and a column of smoke erupted from the exhaust pipe, which slowly picked up speed and bypassed the vehicles blocking the road in front of it and onto the main road.
Zhou Jinru's locomotive followed, officially recognizing that the boy's name was Dennis Gai, who was only 17 years old this year, and that he was a skilled driver, had smooth communication, and had a clear mind, while most children his age did not even dare to speak loudly.
"Dennis, I'm a businessman, we're in an employment relationship now, and I'll pay you a commission."
"Yes sir, there may be trouble ahead, you must listen to me later, so that there will be no bloody fight."
Dennis spoke loudly, drowning out the noise of the locomotive engine, and Zhou Jinru even heard a trace of trilling.
