Volume 1 Bronze Mask Chapter 12 Blackwater

Seeing the bright yellow banner of hunting the phoenix dance again, Chen Yu's heart suddenly became a little more complicated.

From the point of view of interests and security, he should not have turned back. The rudimentary material transfer station had been interrupted for nearly 20 hours for nearly 20 hours without regular radio code reporting, and the parent organization would soon notice the anomaly and send personnel to check it out.

But he came back anyway because of an agreement.

Chen Yu sorted out his mood, parked the car, and pushed the door in.

"Aunt Zhao, have you cleaned up?"

Before dawn, Zhao Fang was worried that following Chen Yu would distract him and bring unnecessary danger, so she took the initiative to stay at the material transfer station for the time being, and wait for Chen Yu to solve the mutant beast before picking her up.

Chen Yu only thought that she was worried about touching the scene, so he didn't force it, and told her that he would come back to see her with the head of the monster.

Now that the monster has no bones, I don't know if she will be suspicious and think that Chen Yu is lying to her.

There was no response for a long time, Chen Yu couldn't help but knock on Zhao Fang's door, "Aunt Zhao? ”

Still no response. Strange, where did the people go?

Chen Yu searched all the rooms in the base before he saw Zhao Fang's back in the kitchen, the dining table was full of dishes, and there was a white note on one side.

Zhao Fang was still wearing an apron, one arm lying on the gas stove, her head resting on her arm, as if she was asleep.

Chen Yu gently nudged her, "Why are you sleeping here?" ”

Zhao Fang still didn't answer, and Chen Yu pushed a little harder, "Aunt Zhao? ”

Zhao Fang's body was crooked, her head shook, and her long hair immediately fell loose on the stove. With such a magnitude of movement, she still didn't wake up, and her body was obviously a little stiff.

Chen Yu noticed something unusual, and suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, he pressed his finger on Zhao Fang's intercarotid artery, and there was only a cold touch in his hand, but there was no ...... Pulse!

Chen Yu walked up to her and saw a bottle of sleeping pills that had been unscrewed, and the bottle was already empty!

Chen Yu's mouth opened, his throat was a little itchy, and he paid attention to the note on the dining table, and a chill welled up in his back.

She...... He's dead! Be...... Suicide!

Chen Yu's fingers trembled and picked up the note, on which there were only a few lines of delicate small words:

"I dreamed of my husband and children last night, and they missed me very much, so I'm going to spend time with them!"

"Thank you for helping our family avenge it! If you have a heart, you don't have to be reluctant, your own safety is the most important! You are a brave and kind child, you will definitely be able to take care of your sister, I wish you all a happy life! ”

Chen Yu folded the note and carefully put it in his pocket, but his eyes fell on the few plates of stir-fried vegetables that were still warm, and it was difficult to move away for a long time.

Why, good people in this world always don't die well.

She just wants her family to live safely and reunited, is this request too much, why should she be tortured by fate, and encounter such misfortune and misfortune!

Chen Yu knew that he was not only a helper who helped Zhao Fang fulfill her long-cherished wish, but also the executioner who directly killed her.

Chen Yu prides herself on being smart, but she has never been able to find out Zhao Fang's abnormality, she has long been determined to die, but she easily got rid of the only fetters she refused to let go in this world, and destroyed her reason to continue living.

Why do you want to help her, at least you should wait for her emotions to settle down, and then help her take revenge.

Zhao Fang trusted Chen Yu very much, although she herself couldn't tell where this trust came from, maybe it was just an invisible intuition, maybe it was just ...... It's like seeing your own child.

The moment Chen Yu promised her, she may have made a decision. She wondered if she was too stubborn to kill the brute, was it really that important? The relatives are gone, what is there to be nostalgic for!

On a sunny morning, she cooked a table of meals, left a note for Chen Yu, who was a stranger a day ago, and didn't even have time to take off her apron, so she couldn't wait to leave herself forever yesterday.

Perhaps at the end of her life, she had already sought spiritual relief!

Chen Yu dug a deep pit outside the base, gently lowered Zhao Fang's body, poured half a barrel of gasoline, and threw down a burning match in a state of distraught.

The raging flame seemed to shine into Chen Yu's heart. Chen Yu whispered something, as if he was saying to the wind that echoed around him:

"I have experienced such misfortune in this life, I must not want to come to this world again in the next life! Rest assured, your wishes have been accomplished. ”

"Sleep in peace, the flame is with you!"

On the way back, Chen Yu deliberately detoured several settlements and carefully hid his tracks.

Humans have a very limited amount of time to move on the wasteland, beyond 72 hours, radiation and pollution will gradually invade the nerves, and the erosion will accumulate to a certain extent, which will induce mutation, not to mention the attack of fierce wilderness creatures.

The wasteland is dangerous and mysterious, but it has an unparalleled charm.

It is a reservoir of endless energy and resources, which is the foundation of the continuation of human civilization, and it is rumored that the inheritance and treasures of ancient humans are buried in it. Based on this, in addition to large-scale exploration organized by the federal government, wilderness hunters are also exploring the nuggets, either spontaneously or hiredly.

But it's a high-risk profession, and many hunters stay forever in the ruins of exploration.

Speeding motorcycles whizzed across the barren wasteland, raising a long smoke screen from the dust they stirred.

Four hours later, Chen Yu returned to Heishui Town.

The Duncan brothers, who were guarding the door, saw the appearance of the comer and quickly opened the door.

"How was this time, did you gain anything?" Brother Jace Duncan asked nervously.

His younger brother Gell Duncan helped Chen Yu light a cigarette, and looked at Chen Yu with the same curiosity.

"I almost forgot to get down to business!"

Chen Yu patted his head, took out a simple wooden box the size of a cigarette box from the pocket of his jacket, and threw it to Gel Duncan, "Help me give this thing to William, remember to be careful, this thing is very expensive." ”

Expensive? Don't......

At the moment when the wooden box was thrown out, the Duncan brothers had already recognized the contents of the wooden box, and their hearts and livers fluttered, and they almost knelt on the spot. Seeing that Chen Yu actually treated the treasure who was related to thousands of lives in the town as casually as throwing a cigarette butt, their faces instantly darkened a little.

The complicated mental journey did not slow down their movements in the slightest.

Four hands reached out like lightning, carefully catching the wooden box, gentle as if treating a newborn baby! They opened the wooden box nervously, and saw the dark and translucent black crystal lying there unharmed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart also fell safely.

The brothers wiped a cold sweat and were about to complain a few words, but there was still Chen Yu's shadow in front of them.

Chen Yu spent 30 yuan in exchange for a bath from the "Rose Old Testament" bar, which was a luxury for many homeless people.

The townspeople are also wondering how the rude old man Ruhr could have given his bar such a crepe name.

Chen Yu swallowed half a cup of vodka that he bought for 50 yuan in one gulp. The boiling alcohol burns down the esophagus into the stomach, creating a warm current inside the body, and sweeping away the tension and exhaustion accumulated after days of exploring the wasteland.

Ruhl's beautiful granddaughter, 20-year-old Leah, handed over a glass of ice water, she was dressed as an old-world professional woman, with a stunning arc at the front of her white shirt, and a short black skirt that almost couldn't cover her straight buttocks.

"What you want is ready. Follow me! ”

There was a burst of boos in the bar. Most of the people who are heathing here are regular customers.

"Jealous?" Chen Yu pretended to look at them proudly and patted his abdominal muscles hard, "It's useless to be jealous. You don't have the same strong bodies and ...... as I do Superb technology! ”

Liya paused, and the heels as sharp as the nails of the high heels landed on Chen Yu's feet, and the sharp pain instantly interrupted his words.

"Shhhh

There was another round of laughter in the bar.

"Hahaha......"

"Retributionβ€”"

Chen Yu limped and followed Liya to the backyard. Liya pushed open a door and walked in with Chen Yu. The shelves in the room are filled with a dazzling array of firearms and ammunition. The violent aesthetic outlined by the cold metallic texture and smooth lines has a fatal attraction to every man.

Blackwater has two fascinating "gold mines", one is William's safe key, and the other is Leah's bar. The two are ranked in no particular order, and you can get rich overnight if you get one.

Leah of Blackwater, in addition to her famous beauty, is also a skilled gunsmith, not to mention, she also has a fierce and golden grandfather. For many men living in Blackwater Town, if they can marry Leah, they will master the wealth code of success and fame, and go directly to the peak of life. The pastoral life of the "woman" and the child who has no worries about food and clothing is simply not happy anymore.

Chen Yu looked away with difficulty, and only then did he barely resist the urge to catch all the treasures here.

Leah walked to the corner of the room, took out two plates of 12.5 caliber bullets and threw them on the table, and couldn't help but complain, "Save a little, only 50 rounds were made this time." To know how much business I lost trying to make bullets for you! Ditch that damn old gun, it's older than my grandfather, and there's no one in the town but me who can make the bullets it uses. ”

"Think about it from a different perspective, dear Leah, it is precisely because of your unique need that you have been given the opportunity to show your skills from a perspective that ordinary people can't reach. How rare! Chen Yu took out 3,000 banknotes and put them lightly on the table, smiling and lying on the glass case, "And the payment is equivalent to the reward, isn't it?" I dare say that there aren't a few bullets in the whole town that can be sold for 60 yuan each, and even if there are, few people can afford them! ”

"What are you...... Too expensive? ”

Like an enraged lion, Lia said indignantly, "Is a woman's youth, a woman's craftsmanship, and a woman's hard work worthless?" If you use the time to make bullets, if you use it for other businesses, I can earn at least 3 times the commission! ”

Leah angrily accepted the commission and pointed to the bar's lobby, "Get out, the old lady doesn't want to see you again." ”

Chen Yu didn't care at all, he still had a smile on his face, "The beautiful young lady has always been gentle, who brought the haze to your holy face, tell me that the brave knight is willing to go to the soup for you." β€œ

Leah didn't have a good breath and said, "Hmph, think I haven't read?" This is a line from the opera "Seeing the Comet Again". ”

However, her mood calmed down, and there was a hint of imperceptible loneliness on her soft face, and she said a little depressed, "I'm leaving Blackwater Town." ”

This was really unexpected news, Chen Yu was surprised, "Are you going to move?" Where are you going? Ruhr, the miser, is willing to give up this bar? ”

"It's not us, it's me! I'm getting married, marrying ...... Henry's son. ”

"Is it Henry of the caravan? If I'm not mistaken, his family lives in Xinhai City, so congratulations on becoming a lady in the city...... It's a thing to be happy about, no matter how you say it, how do you look ...... Not so happy! ”

"I've never been to the city. And the people who come out of the city have always looked down on us outcasts who live outside the walls. ”

Speaking of this, Leah sighed again, "And Ruhl is also old, who will take care of him after I leave!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chen Yu knew that Liya's worries were all imminent realities. People in the city refer to people who live outside the walls as vagabonds, and sometimes they even trade and buy and sell like goods, even though federal law prohibits them.

Even so, the homeless people are still eager to enter the high walls.

Because the order of the wasteland is more chaotic, the weak eat the strong, and the bones are full.

Blackwater is able to have the tranquility of a paradise - at least no killing or discrimination is allowed in the town because Mayor William has a strong background and his brother is in the Exploration Force. It was also because of the stable environment that the town's mining industry and commerce were able to develop.

Chen Yu couldn't do anything about Liya's hesitation. He knew that this was most likely Ruhl's idea, and that the aging Ruhl wanted his granddaughter to gain status in the city, rather than continue to live in precarious circumstances, like his son and daughter-in-law, who might one day suddenly befall him.

But Chen Yu can't be indifferent, in the old land, maybe any life separation will turn into death. He pretended to understand and said, "I have a ready-made solution for a little bit of a problem." ”

"Oh?" Leah blinked, and cheered up, "Tell me about it!" ”

Chen Yu patted his chest, "Marry me, I guarantee that I am young, good-looking and easy to use, and I can help you solve all your worries immediately!" ”

"Get out!"

"Gotcha!"

Chen Yu took out 50 yuan and put it on the table, and put on a sad expression before leaving, "Please drink a glass of vodka, I hope the taste of alcohol can make you feel warm." I really don't know how I'm going to live without you in the future. ”

Liya's frowning brow finally eased a little, and she scolded with a smile:

"Stinky Imp ......"
