Chapter 24: Eventful

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps from far and near, Zhuo Cheng opened the homespun curtain and looked out through the crack in the door, and a figure wandered in the darkness.

The face of the vicissitudes of life and indifference was white and bloodless, but it was as hideous as a beast that chose people to devour.

The red eyes seemed to flicker, the stiff mechanical arm hung down unnaturally, the rough metal hand at the end was clenched into a fist, the normal arm was holding a blood energy gun, and one finger fell on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.

The heavy mechanical legs were rusty, and each step was crooked, driving the metal box around his waist to swing around.

"Mayor Mare!" Zhuo Cheng meditated.

After being in Sweetwater for so long, he almost forgot that the mayor would wander at night.

But the mayor I saw before was just pale, numb and hollow, not as fierce as he is now!

Zhang Fan said that the mayor in the wandering state is actually very dangerous and will launch crazy attacks.

Of course, as long as you don't get closer, you'll be fine.

So the mayor wandered, the big guys didn't make a sound, and it was all right when the wandering was over.

Zhuo Cheng has seen the mayor hammer a stone when he wanders, and he can smash it into pieces!

Uncle Fu's death seems to have stimulated the mayor!

When the footsteps disappeared completely, Zhuo Cheng lay back and recalled Zhang Fu's situation in the past two days.

He first noticed that Zhang Fu was not the same as before, and his face should have darkened a little.

The condition is getting worse step by step, and when the stone wall collapses, the ability is used to the limit, causing the twisted tumor to disintegrate?

I always felt that something was not right.

Zhuo Cheng thought for a while, and suddenly remembered what he saw at that time, Zhang Fu's first burst was internal organs, but he remembered that Zhang Fu was a muscle-skin twisted type.

I haven't heard anyone including Zhang Fan say that Zhang Fu has a distorted tumor in his internal organs.

Zhuo Cheng decided to ask tomorrow.

I can't sleep for a while, and my thoughts inevitably turn to the disintegration of flesh and blood, he is also an extraordinary twister, according to the division of the Singularity Research Institute, or is it a double twist of muscles, skin and internal organs, even if he survives the battles again and again, he still has to go to such a fate in the end?

Zhuo Cheng remembered the hammer of creation in the Singularity Creation Theory.

Before going to bed, he entered a state of inward vision, and began to use his mental will as a shackle every night to bind the seeds for work and play.

In this fucking world, you can only find yourself some fun.

…………

The wandering figure entered the orphanage of the singularity, the sound of heavy footsteps stopped in front of the double-storey tower, Dudge's face gradually returned to normal, and the blood energy gun was put back in the holster on his waist, looking at the old man standing under the inverted pentagram.

The old man wore a red conical peaked hat, and in the dark of the night, he was as terrifying as the zombie-like wandering Duch.

None of these two people look normal!

Paine leaned against the porch and whispered, "You're serious again." ”

Duche tried to press down on the cowboy hat, only to find that the hat was not worn, and said, "It's going to be fine." ”

Paine said: "Don't kid yourself, your mind has been affected, you don't think about things, you rely more on instinct, more and more impulsive, the singularity of blood energy technology ......"

Dooge interrupted: "It's better than a drunken goat." ”

Paine broke away from the wilderness and still believed in the flying goat: "Duqi, you fused your flesh and blood with mechanical prosthetics to achieve cyborgs, with your status in the singularity back then, you should know that since Chen Tian, the cyborgs at the top of the singularity have not died, but have become walking corpses with rigid thinking, and you are not far away." If this is the third singularity, the future of humanity, humanity might as well maintain the status quo. ”

Duge took out his bony pipe and lit it: "There is no end to the battle of faith, I will not argue with you." He exhaled a puff of yellow smoke: "The old man is gone." ”

Paine was like a god: "Extraordinary and twisted, at the line between life and death." ”

Du Qi asked, "Did Zhang Fuke tell you that his internal organs were distorted?" Today he twisted the tumor to disintegrate, first exploding the internal organs. ”

The night breeze blew, Paine coughed twice, and said: "No, Zhang Fu only disclosed that his muscles and skin were twisted, and it was normal to conceal one, just like you are not sure that I am a quadruple twist, and I don't know if you only have blood twists." ”

Mike's betrayal was somewhat rooted in the hearts of the old man in Sweetwater.

No one is sure that the old guys who are still alive are hiding important matters in private.

Du Qi sighed: "I asked Erin, Zhang Fu exchanged it for visceral inhibition drugs from him. ”

Paine said: "You can't demand the people of Sweetwater Town with the standards of the military council Lu Yuanshan, we are not idealists, we can only ensure the order of Sweetwater Town." ”

Duge nodded slightly, agreeing with Paine's words.

Sweetwater is like a paradise in this ruined wilderness, but people are selfish after all.

Paine reminded: "Your situation is getting worse and more rigid, and you will become a walking corpse one day, so it is better to determine who will succeed you sooner." ”

Duqi said directly: "My favorite candidate is Erin, she said that she will not bring a caravan in the future, and will come to Sweetwater to settle down, in terms of ability, brains and appeal, she is a good choice." ”

Paine understood what Duge was thinking, "Mainly because Erin is from the Singularity Research Institute!" ”

"What's so bad about the singularity?" Dudge retorted: "Without the singularity as an external support, can Sweetwater be where it is now?" ”

This time it was Paine's turn to argue.

Without Singularity's Worm Ash trade with Sweetwater, Sweetwater would be much more difficult than it is now.

Paine thought for a moment and found a reason to refute it: "Erin won't stop because of Sweetwater in the short term, you can't wait for her to quit the caravan." ”

In the eyes of many people in Sweetwater, Erin, who brought the necessary supplies, was her own.

Erin has told the people of Sweetwater more than once that one day she will stop in Sweetwater and enjoy the rest of her time.

Once upon a time, there was a man who led the Singularity Caravan to trade with Sweetwater and ended up staying in Sweetwater, and his name was Duki!

"Old God Stick!" Du Qi suddenly said, "What do you think of Zhuo Cheng?" ”

Paine pondered for a moment: "Time is too short, let's see." ”

This time the two agreed, and Duch agreed: "Then look again, he needs time to grow too." ”

Paine turned around and walked back: "Remind you, before you completely lose control, raise the blood gun and blow yourself in the head." I'm old, my body is not good, don't be able to get rid of you, let you kill. ”

Du Qi replied lightly: "Don't worry, I won't die behind you." ”

Paine was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, and asked, "Duche, what is your selfishness?" ”

Without thinking about it, Duge casually said, "When I took over as mayor, I promised to find the Hammer of Creation and cure the tumors, so that they could live in peace and die like human beings. ”

Paine turned and left: "Extraordinary twister, you want to die like a person, it's hard!" ”

When he returned to the ear chamber, he did not take off his conical pointed high hat, but lay down and slept.

…………

The militia team lost its vice-captain, but life had to go on, Lin Sheng became the leader of the running exercise, Du Qi gave Zhang Fan a few days off, and Zhang Fan did not come.

After running exercises, taking advantage of the training break, Zhuo Cheng went to find Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan was not at home, but saw An An at the caravan station, she was following Erin.

Zhuo Cheng thought of the candy An An gave him, ran back to his residence, took the eggs in the cabinet back, and stuffed them to An An: "Cooked with water, it's delicious." ”

An An don't: "It's too valuable, I can't accept it." ”

Zhuo Cheng asked seriously: "I accept your sugar, but you don't accept my eggs, there is no such reason." ”

Erin patted An An on the shoulder: "Take it." ”

An An took the egg: "It's cooked, I'll share half of it." ”

Zhuo Cheng nodded and asked, "What about your brother?" ”

"I'm going to the quarry behind town." An An entered a stone house.

Erin glanced back and said, "Paine is too old to comfort anyone, and I don't worry about her and didn't let her go to class." ”

Zhuo Cheng looked at the spire tower: "The pain needs time to heal." ”

Erin said, "Hopefully sooner. ”

Zhuo Cheng glanced at the insect white ash that had been transported, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Fu has changed visceral inhibition drugs on your side?" ”

Erin nodded slightly: "Changed, he came alone." ”

Zhuo Cheng got a definite answer and pointed to the back of the town: "I'll go see Zhang Fan." ”

When he came to the quarry, he didn't see anyone, Zhuo Cheng raised his eyes and found that on the cliff like a knife and axe, there was constantly gravel and dust falling down.

"Big nose!"

No one responded, Zhuo Cheng looked forward along the quarry, and found Zhang Fan in a quarry near the cliff wall.

Zhang Fan stood at the bottom of the pit more than one person deep, opened his mouth wide against the cliff, and the little white and little red on his throat were as white as Lin Sheng's face, red as blood.

A silent roar crashed against the cliff, and even the cliff seemed to tremble.

Zhuo Cheng saw that he kept his mouth open, and quickly jumped down and reminded: "Big nose, you still have An An to take care of!" ”

Hearing his sister's name, Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, closed his mouth, turned his head to look at Zhuo Cheng, and just wanted to speak, he coughed violently, coughing heartbreakingly, and the palm covering his mouth was red.

Even, blood flowed down the palms of his hands.

Zhuo Cheng saw that Xiaobai and Xiaohong were still shrinking and expanding, so he hurriedly ran over, took out the medicine bottle from Zhang Fan's bag, poured out a medicine stopper for him, and reminded loudly: "Eat it quickly!" ”

Obviously, Zhang Fan's complications have flare-up, and they are very serious.

Zhang Fan swallowed the pill in one gulp, swallowed it with a cough, and didn't know what the inhibition drug of the singularity was made of, and it worked very quickly.

In just a dozen breaths, Zhang Fan's cough slowed down, Xiaobai and Xiaohong on his throat no longer contracted and expanded, and the complications improved visibly.

Zhuo Cheng couldn't help but beat him on the shoulder: "Big nose, don't forget, you still have An An!" ”

Zhang Fan grinned in pain, suddenly sat down on a stone next to him, and looked up at Zhuo Cheng: "Am I useless?" ”

Without waiting for Zhuo Cheng to answer, he said to himself: "I have never fought twenty of them, only one of them!" Xiaohong and Xiaobai have grown up, I haven't grown up, and I'm still the same as when I was a child, I'm nervous and scared when I encounter something...... I only brag and maintain my self-esteem by bragging, so that An An thinks I'm a hero, but I've never been An An's hero! ”

There are no distortions, no red mushrooms, no embarrassment, Zhang Fan said the truth from the bottom of his heart: "My dad has great expectations for me, but I can't do anything, I can't do it!" Until he died, I didn't satisfy him! ”

Zhuo Cheng suddenly thought of his father in another world, and he didn't have a lot of expectations for himself.

Expect one’s son to be talented.

But no matter how much he does, it is difficult to get a word of affirmation, and most of what he hears is criticism.

Later, when I got older, I realized that this was my father.

Zhuo Cheng didn't know how to comfort people, and stretched out his hand in front of Zhang Fan: "Brother, start changing from today and be An An's hero!" ”

Zhang Fan looked up and looked at Zhuo Cheng's bare and angular face, which could only be read from it.

He slowly raised his hand, a little hesitant, a little timid, a little cringe, but finally grasped Zhuo Cheng's hand.

Zhuo Cheng exerted himself and pulled up Zhang Fan: "Go, train!" ”
