Chapter Twenty-Three: Friends of Humanity
"Is that guy named Tang Ming sure it's around here?"
In an abandoned shop, Ma Tao squinted and looked around, and then asked a companion behind him.
"The scavengers who live here don't have to lie to us."
The companion replied, and then continued:
"I hope to catch that guy quickly, otherwise when the news of this bounty spreads, the food will not be so easy to get at that time."
"I really don't know, why did the green snake spend a thousand catties of food to catch a scavenger, is there anything special about him?"
"Didn't the Green Snake surround and suppress the people who chased the sun last week? I heard that it failed, do you think it has something to do with this Tang Ming? ”
"Whatever, as long as the green snake is really willing to give food at that time, even if it is for me to tie up the people in those large survivor camps."
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he turned his head again to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
They are a makeshift squad-group of seven people.
Pick up and complete the big and small commissions issued by the major survivor camps in the city, and be one of their main sources of food.
This time, after receiving the arrest commission issued by the Green Snake Legion, he immediately came over.
Such a large order of 1,000 catties of grain may not be seen once in a few years, which naturally attracts many scavengers, and they are just one of them.
However, most scavengers choose to ambush in the subway tunnel, which is safer inside than the outside.
But the risk is directly proportional to the gain, and instead of waiting for the prey to come to the door on its own, it is better to take the initiative.
"Aren't you afraid of guns?"
"As long as you find that Tang Ming's hiding place, when he goes out, go in and set up some mechanisms, and wait for him to come back, won't he let us knead it when the time comes?"
Ma Tao said, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly found that something was wrong.
The voice that had just asked me seemed a little unfamiliar.
Realizing this, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Without much thought, he almost subconsciously wanted to escape from here, but the next moment, a cold object was placed around his neck.
Looking down, it was an axe with I don't know if it was red paint or blood.
"When.."
At this moment, his eyes were full of confusion, and he had already guessed who the person behind it was.
But it was obvious that Tang Ming's way of quietly appearing behind him still made him incomprehensible for a while.
"Don't.. Don't get excited, have something to say. ”
However, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and his survival instinct still made him make the most correct decision at the first time.
It is to throw away the weapon in your hand and raise your hands as a way to prove that you are harmless.
His actions did make Tang Ming withdraw the axe, but in exchange for the sound of the pistol being loaded.
Ma Tao wanted to cry at the moment, and hurriedly explained:
"Big brother, we just want to arrest you, we don't really want to kill you, the reward issued by the green snake is the same, we can't get any food for killing you."
Hearing Ma Tao's words, Tang Ming thought about it and said:
"Tell me, what's the matter with the Green Snake's bounty on me? Who sent it? ”
After speaking, he also sat on a collapsed stone pillar behind him.
When Ma Tao heard this, he quickly turned around, glanced at his companion who had fallen in a pool of blood and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was horrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he told all the information he knew.
"Poisonous snake Xu Tu?"
Hearing this name, Tang Ming's brows furrowed.
When he went to the trading market yesterday, he heard people talk about it, and it seemed that the encirclement and suppression operation was directed by the other party.
He is a ruthless man who kills people without blinking.
The other party is now issuing a bounty, obviously knowing that he saved Xia Zhi.
"Is there an inner ghost in it day by day? Tsk~ Unlucky. ”
Tang Ming thought of this, and his mouth snorted, no wonder he was approached as soon as he left the store.
I feel that I and Xia Zhi's guy must be in conflict.
Otherwise, how can you explain that it was good before, since I met him, it seems that unlucky things have been going on one after another?
"It seems that next time I see him again, I will have to change my life."
Tang Ming's index finger rubbed the trigger of the pistol, and many dark thoughts popped up in his mind.
However, his action frightened Ma Tao.
Almost without any hesitation, he knelt directly for Tang Ming.
"Big brother, don't look at me and that guy together, in fact, we haven't known each other for more than ten hours, so we don't know each other."
"And in addition to the two of us, there are five other people around here who want to fight your idea, I know the location, you have to go, I'll take you there now."
“... Can you be a little more rebellious, so that I don't feel guilty when I kill? ”
Looking at Ma Tao, who had a strong desire to survive, Tang Ming tried to persuade: "This person must have backbone, if this backbone is gone..."
"Wang!"
“...”
It is said that dogs are friends of man.
So after hearing this cry, Tang Ming finally didn't make up his mind and killed this human friend.
"Brother Ming, you will be my brother in the future, really, if anyone dares to say bad things about you in the future, I will be the first to disagree!"
"Click~"
When Ma Tao saw Tang Ming reloading the pistol, he immediately closed his mouth.
Tang Ming didn't want to pay any attention to this guy who didn't want any face, and after asking Ma Tao to hand over all the weapons on his body and leave him food for a few days, he turned around and sneaked in the direction where several other ambushers were.
Since he decided not to kill the other party, he didn't do things too desperately.
As the saying goes, stay a line and see each other in the future.
"It's a big loss this time."
Ma Tao watched Tang Ming disappear from his field of vision, and the smile on his face suddenly collapsed, turning into a sigh.
He looked down at the only pair of pants left in his body, and sighed:
"Forget it, it's better to be able to pick up a life than to die."
Thinking of this, he also walked directly towards the subway entrance, as if he wanted to leave this place that brought him sadness as soon as possible.
And at the moment when he completely disappeared into the distance, Tang Ming's figure suddenly reappeared where he had stood before.
"It seems that I don't know those people well, and I don't want to seek revenge on me."
Tang Ming took back the pistol, in fact, the other five people had already been solved by him, and he didn't kill Ma Tao directly, he just wanted to ask some questions.
If this Ma Tao wants to take revenge on him, he will not be relentless.
But fortunately, this man is really knowledgeable about current affairs.
"But I just said that I want to kill less."
Tang Ming looked at the blood stains on the fire axe and was a little depressed.
But the reality is that you can't do whatever you want.
On top of that, his home needs to be moved.
It's no longer safe to be known by so many people.
And the main culprit for all this: .
"Poisonous snake Xu Tu, I remember you."
Tang Ming gritted his teeth, took out a small notebook and began to record.
[Wasteland Life - Year 2 - Month 6 - Day 19]
[Bounty by the Green Snake Legion Captain Viper Xu Tu, loss of base (Danger level: ...) )]
Writing this, Tang Ming thought about it, and it seemed a little difficult to take revenge, so he wrote the words extremely dangerous.
"Wait for you!"
Although he Tang Ming is not a person who holds grudges, this kind of situation of standing on top of his head and is unbearable for anyone.
