Life underground, boring and boring.

Being relegated to this place is basically insulated from the enjoyment and entertainment of the earthly world.

Several mercenaries are used to this kind of life, they are all lazy, they have long lost their fighting spirit, and they eat all day long and wait for death.

Not to mention cleaning, they didn't even bother to clean the big iron buckets that contained the slaves' food, and they didn't even bother to pour the leftover food every day, and the next day they continued to pour new food into the buckets and stir it up.

As a result, the slaves were likely to eat leftover food from the previous day or even the previous days.

"Let's wash it, what if someone from above comes to check it?"

Wang Teng's approach and thoughts are perfectly in line with a cautious and cautious newcomer.

He took the big bucket, walked over to the sink, turned on the rusty faucet, emptied the rest of the food in the bucket, and then began to clean the dirty bucket.

Brush Brush Brush!

He has nimble hands and feet, and his movements are skillful, not at all like a mercenary king who has been in a high position all year round.

At this time, Su Xia also came over with an iron bucket, stood beside him, and also turned on a faucet, and put the iron bucket under the faucet to rinse.

"Brother Wu, those old guys just deliberately called you, there is no need to listen to them."

Su Xia looked ordinary, holding an iron brush, brushing the surface of the iron bucket, and said while brushing.

The rattle of the brush rubbing against the surface of the bucket is unpleasant and easy to get goosebumps when it sounds.

On the side, Wang Teng made an embarrassed look, brushed the iron bucket hard, and said: "Brother Qiao, I think I have to work when I am full, and if I don't work, I can't prove the value of the meal just now, after all, I have eaten so many ......."

"It's your job to eat more." Su Xia said lightly, "Those few eat more than you, look at their lazy looks, they eat, sleep and eat all day long, like a group of pigs!" ”

"But I'm just here after all."

"What's wrong with the newcomer? Don't think about it so much. ”

As he spoke, Su Xia picked up a bottle of detergent and squeezed it twice.

His work movements are very sharp, which he has been trained since he was a child.

"Brother Wu, I think you have the potential to become a behind-the-scenes staff officer, or what I said before, it's really condescending for you to stay here, and it's only right to go up early."

Su Xia brushed hard, and added: "If you are in the company of pigs, you will become pigs sooner or later." ”

"It's easy to come down, but it's hard to go up." Wang Teng sighed, and a trace of unwillingness and gloom appeared on his face.

As a newcomer, his unwillingness is normal, and it would be abnormal if he adapted to it so quickly.

"So you have to find more opportunities to perform!" Susha said.

"How are you going to behave?" Wang Teng seemed to be a little embarrassed, and asked seriously, "Brother Qiao, I also want to show myself in front of those big shots, but I haven't had a chance, I'm too timid to talk to them." ”

"What's so hard about that?"

Su Xia snapped his fingers, looked relaxed, and said, "Let's go up when we have time, and if we go shopping in those entertainment venues, we can always meet a few big people." ”

"What about after you hit it?" Wang Teng then asked.

"After we met, we pretended to chat, stood near those big people, chatted a little louder, and talked about the hottest topics recently...... Brother, I am responsible for asking questions, brother, you are responsible for answering, as long as you answer exquisitely enough, you will definitely be able to attract the attention of those big people! ”

Su Xia smiled, made a confident look, and told Wang Teng his solution.

Pretending to be chatting is a very useful method.

As long as you get the right measure, you won't get bored by the big guys, and you can get their attention.

Once they succeed, they will surely be appreciated, and they will be able to leave this dark ghost place and become human beings again, enjoying higher treatment.

But Wang Teng didn't seem to understand quite yet, his face was puzzled, he scratched his hair with his wet hands, and asked, "Brother Qiao, how do you pretend?" ”

"This ...... Let's start with a hypothetical scenario. ”

Su Xia thought for a moment, shook off the water in his hand, and then began to simulate for Wang Teng.

He pointed to a large iron bucket not far away and said, "Suppose it's a big man, very close to us, and not moving." ”

"Okay." Wang Teng nodded seriously.

"Now, we can start pretending to chat." Su Xia continued, "For example, let me first say: 'Brother Wu, the town has not been safe recently, I heard that someone from the South Wind has come in, if it were you, how would you deal with those people from the South Wind Organization? ’…… After I ask, you can answer your thoughts, brother. ”

"Do you want to answer it very delicately?" Wang Teng asked.

"Definitely! As long as it's subtle enough, it can catch the attention of the big guys! Su Xia said very seriously.

"Okay, I'll think about it......"

Wang Teng touched his head, put aside the cleaning, and began to think seriously.

After a while, he looked at the running water of the faucet, considered the words, and said slowly: "If it were me, I would deliberately let a few prisoners of the South Wind Organization out, use them as bait to attract the members of the South Wind Organization who infiltrated into the town, and secretly observe the trend of public opinion in the town......

Wang Teng's thinking is very clear, his sentences are very organized, and he says his thoughts word by word.

His method was indeed good, but it was not what Su Xia wanted.

There is only one day before the judgment day, but there is no change in the town as Wang Teng said, indicating that he has not made relevant arrangements.

Su Xia wanted to know Wang Teng's true arrangement.

"Is he going to keep things the same?" Su Xia secretly guessed that he couldn't see through Wang Teng's thoughts, and the system prompt didn't give anything, everything was in a fog.

Soon, Wang Teng finished speaking.

A trace of expectation flashed on his face, and he looked at Su Xia, as if he was waiting for Su Xia's evaluation.

Su Xia nodded slightly, and said seriously: "Very good, just answer like this, as long as every answer is like this, or even more subtle than this, we will be able to attract the attention of the big people sooner or later!" ”

"Brother Qiao, your method is really good, I didn't expect it before." Wang Teng's expression was excited.

"That's because you didn't have a partner before." Su Xia smiled confidently, "This wilderness is very cruel, no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to survive, unless it is a creature like a masked monster, a small person like us, we can only join a group for warmth, win-win cooperation, and maximize common interests." ”

"Brother Qiao, you're so right!"

Wang Teng's expression became more and more excited, and the unwillingness in his eyes was gradually dissipating, as if he had a new vision for the future.

In fact, if there is no problem with the identities of the two, if he is really Wu Yong, and Su Xia is really Qiao Tu, then their plan is very feasible.

There are indeed too few people in the wilderness who are good at strategy.

Many mercenaries will only fight, bully when they encounter weak, run away or beg for mercy when they encounter a strong one, and they don't know what strategy is at all, and most of them are in line with the idea that a day is a day.

However, the identities of both are fake, and the so-called plan is naturally impossible to realize.

……

In the rest area not far away, several mercenaries were lazily lying on rocking chairs, looking soothing and enjoying themselves.

One of the mercenaries narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the sink, and asked, "What are they talking about?" ”

"I don't know, the sound of brushing the bucket is too loud, what do you care about so much?" The oldest old mercenary didn't even open his eyes, and said casually.

"Hey, Qiao Tu still doesn't give up, most of the time he wants to get Brother Wu to find a way to go up with him, let him talk slowly, one day he will die!" Another mercenary said.

"Speaking of which, Brother Wu is also a talent."

"What about talent? When he comes here, even if he is a once-in-a-century genius, he can only mix with us! ”

"That's right, haha......"

Speaking of this, several mercenaries laughed heartily, which was heartfelt.

Several of them are rotten people, almost all of them can't support the wall in the mud, their brains are not very good, and their combat ability is weak, so it is normal to become a low-level mercenary.

But now, Wu Yong has such a talent all of a sudden, which is very amazing.

It feels pretty good to let this kind of talent sink with them.

……

Next to the sink, Su Xia and Wang Teng both heard the laughter of those people.

Judging from the identities and strength of the two of them, they shouldn't have heard the specific content of those people's chat.

But after all, they are all genuine fifth-level creatures, and their hearing is far beyond that of ordinary people, even the sound of footsteps from a few hundred meters away can be heard clearly, let alone the sound of conversation so close.

But the expressions of both of them did not change, and they both showed that they did not hear clearly.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Wang, what are they laughing at?" Wang Teng looked puzzled.

"I don't know, it's probably because I remembered something happy."

Su Xia shrugged her shoulders, picked up the brush, and continued to scrub the dirty iron bucket.

I don't know how long the appearance of this iron bucket has not been washed, it is so dirty that it cannot be described, and when I brush it hard, I can only barely scrape off a layer of filth on the surface, and even the deepest iron sheet cannot be revealed.

While washing, Su Xia and Wang Teng chatted about other topics.

"Brother Wu, where do you think that masked monster will be?" He asked with a relaxed look and a seemingly casual look.

"I don't know, I hope it's not by our side, I heard that he has a very good ability to disguise." Wang Teng shook his head and said.

"Yes, it's good not to be with us......"

Time passed slowly, and the topic of conversation between the two gradually broadened.

From the very beginning of the South Wind organization, to the later life of the mercenaries, to the plans for the future, etc., there is almost nothing to talk about.

The two chatted very speculatively, like two friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and it didn't seem like they had only met today.

It looks harmonious, but it's actually weird.

Because both of them used false identities.

After talking a lot, it's easy to expose some innermost thoughts.

But they chatted until all the iron barrels were washed, and the two did not expose any problems, and still chatted warmly.

In the end, the two almost found a place to worship their son and become brothers with different surnames.

"Alas, Brother Qiao, why didn't I meet someone like you earlier." Wang Teng suddenly sighed, his face was a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What do you feel? Earlier or later, does it make any difference? Some people are destined to meet, and the experiences that precede the encounter, whether good or bad, are just a foreshadowing for this encounter. ”

Su Xia smiled faintly, and her tone was relaxed.

But Wang Teng shook his head and said in a very strange tone: "Brother Qiao, I don't have any friends in this world, like a wandering spirit, no one understands me, and no one understands me. ”

"Everyone will become a geist at some point." Susha said.

"yes......"

Wang Teng's eyes drooped slightly, as if he was looking at the iron bucket that had been washed in his hand, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

After a while, he raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Su Xia: "Brother Qiao, my life has been very bad recently, and I occasionally feel a little emotional, don't you mind." ”

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind, everyone has times when they're in a bad mood." Susha replied.

"Let's go sit down and talk."

"Okay."

The two of them packed up the buckets, neatly clasped them upside down beside the sink, and walked towards the rest area.

At this time, Wang Teng seemed to be a little distracted, and he subconsciously walked in front of Su Xia.

Behind, Su Xia's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak, but just quickened his pace.

Wang Teng's disguise is very well done, and there are almost no loopholes and flaws, until now...... His habit of subconsciously walking in front is only available to people in high positions.

I don't know what he's thinking, he's so distracted that he even forgets his disguise.

Or maybe he didn't need to disguise himself?

This thought flashed through Su Xia's mind.

Su Xia has always been vigilant and has never relaxed in the slightest, after all, he is facing a cunning enemy like Wang Teng.

Once the identities of both sides are revealed, what will happen next will be a terrifying battle that will never stop to the death.

"Washed so quickly?" In the rest area, the oldest mercenary spoke casually.

Wang Teng paused, seemed to come back to his senses, nodded and said, "Well, it's finished." ”

"Your hands are sore, aren't you?" The old mercenary asked again.

"It's okay, it's not too sour." Wang Teng replied.

"Those things don't need to be washed in the first place, and if you go to wash them, you're looking for guilt, and it's uncomfortable to find a place to lie down?" The other mercenary said with a smile.

"Well, too......"

A smile also appeared on Wang Teng's face, as if he recognized the concept of these mercenaries.

Su Xia looked calm, walked past him, walked calmly, walked to the rest area belonging to Qiao Tu, and then sat down slowly.

Wang Teng also walked over.

The two continued the topic they had not finished talking about before, lying in the rocking chair, chatting without saying a word.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, it's evening, and it's time for dinner.

Everyone went to the back kitchen of the kitchen on the upper floor to eat, and after eating, they continued to lie down.

After the meal, Su Xia proposed to go to the town, but the oldest mercenary vetoed, saying that the situation was delicate now, and the town did not know when a shootout would break out, so it was better to stay underground.

In this way, they returned to the deepest darkness and lived their evening life boringly.

The old mercenary and a few other mercenaries set up a game of cards, each with a cigarette in their mouth, playing cards under the old chandelier in the rest area, and spending time in this basic way of entertainment.

There are also two mercenaries playing an old-fashioned handheld game console in the corner, and on the black-and-white console screen, two motorcycles are controlled to race on the track.

Su Xia and Wang Teng were like two alternatives, sitting in the shadows outside the chandelier light, killing time by chatting.

I don't know how long it took, but the bell of the early morning slowly rang.

"Bell—"

In the town, all the mercenaries who were moving were stunned, looking up in the direction of the big bell.

After midnight, it means that a new day has arrived.

And today, it is also the judgment day that everyone is looking forward to!
