Chapter 59: Hunting
Night fell early, and Gotham grew colder and colder during this time.
Teenagers sleeping on the streets began to gather around tin buckets and burn garbage to keep warm.
Every teenager who sleeps on the street has a tragic family background, either his father is an addict and his mother is missing, or vice versa, or domestic violence, drug abuse, poverty, and disease are all stacked.
Anyway, everyone's story here can make a tear-jerking movie and then help the rich make more money.
Serena is also one of them, her mother left her in Gotham and has been missing for a long time.
As a low-level minor character who steals for a living, Serena has had a hard time lately.
The main reason is that Gotham has recently been in a small mess in three days and a big mess in ten days.
When there was chaos, most of the people went out on the streets less, and the people who went to the streets didn't have much oil and water on them.
Serena had to switch from stealing wallets to stealing shops, but it still didn't work out well because monetization was always a big problem.
If you send a piece of jewelry worth a thousand to the middleman, you can only get fifty pieces.
You don't have to reduce the price yet, because all the middlemen are at this price, and if you dare to find someone to trade privately, you will be blocked by all the middlemen.
The banning here is not doing business with you, but "blocking" in a physical sense.
Selina didn't have enough harvest in the past two days, and she didn't even have enough warmth, so she could only come to the fire in the middle of the night to keep warm.
"Well, shall I go to Brigitte?"
Serena knew that Brigitte was doing well on Sui Feng's side, not to mention that she was well fed and clothed, and no one abused her, but that pervert actually forced her to study.
At the thought of being forced to study in the past, Serena felt that she could hold on for a while.
However, it was really cold.
Serena had eaten half a sandwich to-day, and now her stomach was growling with hunger.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just go mix for two days, and then find a way to run away."
While Serena was thinking this, a van slowly drove up.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and two people, a man and a woman, who were dressed old-fashioned but looked very honest, got out of the car.
The kind woman with gold-rimmed glasses said to them, "Children, we are a government welfare agency, and we have free sandwiches and hot soup here. ”
When Serena heard this, she couldn't help but whisper: "That person does charity, and the government also learns?" This Gotham is about to become his. ”
When the children around them heard that there was free food, they rushed over and took the food from the two of them.
The sandwiches were ordinary, but they were big enough to feed the hungry kids.
"Don't worry, we have everything else, all come here......"
Serena also wanted to take a piece, but as soon as she took a step, Serena felt that something was wrong.
There was no reason, Serena just felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this man and woman, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
A tall black boy stuffed his mouth with food and said to Serena indistinctly, "Hey, kitten, aren't you going to eat?" ”
Serena was keenly aware that the bespectacled woman was looking at her. She found the man's eyes very uncomfortable, as if he were staring at a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
Serena trusts her instincts, and it is by them that she survives in Gotham.
There must be something wrong with these two people.
So instead of taking the food, Serena cautiously took a few steps back.
But because of Serena's vigilance, the smile on the woman's face completely disappeared, and she knew she was exposed.
I saw her pull out a long metal needle from her cuff and stab it in the neck of the tall black man.
In less than half a second, the black boy fainted and fell to the ground.
The woman didn't look at it, but drew a long needle and stabbed it in the neck of the other child.
I don't know what is in this long needle, and if you are stabbed, you will faint immediately.
Seven or eight children all fell to the ground, and Serena ran away in fright.
Another man sighed, "Another one ran away." ”
The woman said viciously: "What nonsense, go and get it back." Gotham has been a mess lately, and we have to get enough people together before we load it. ”
"I see."
The man pulled out a pistol and chased after Selina where she had left.
Serena ran wildly in the dark, but even though she had used her fastest speed, she still couldn't completely shake off the people who were following her.
The man looks like a 9-to-5 office worker, but when he runs, he looks like a well-trained mercenary.
Serena knew that she was in big trouble, this was no ordinary human trafficker, and if she was caught, she would definitely die.
Looking around, Serena gritted her teeth and changed direction.
The person chasing behind her was a little surprised, because Serena was originally running towards the busy street. Even in Gotham, he had to pay attention to the effects of shooting people in the street. After all, their goal is not yet accomplished, and they are not yet suitable for exposure.
But instead of running to crowded places, Serena ran towards the slums.
"It looks like I'm dizzy."
The man smiled smugly, it was really just a child, and it was much easier to catch.
Serena ran as fast as she could, the street lights around her were dimming, the pedestrians were thinning, and the person behind her had pulled the trigger with impunity.
The bullet swept past Serena, striking a few sparks at the trash can in front of her.
"Don't run anymore, I deliberately missed this shot!"
When the man had said this, Serena stopped with her hands raised.
"That's good, don't worry, as long as you don't resist anymore, I guarantee your safety."
Serena turned around, her originally flustered expression turning into a sneer.
The man just sensed that something was wrong, but before he could confirm the problem, he saw a cold light pass by.
Blood gushed out, and the man's right hand was cut off, and only a bit of flesh and skin remained in his left hand.
It wasn't until his arm fell to the ground that the man felt a sharp pain coming, and he fell to the ground screaming and rolling.
In the darkness, a hideous pig-headed man appeared, picked up the axe from the ground, and walked straight to Serena without looking at the wailing man.
"Serena, are you alright?"
The voice of a beast speaks very gentle words.
"I'm fine, but there are other people who have been taken away, a van, a man and a woman......"
Serena told Oinke what had just happened.
"It's true that a lot of teenagers have gone missing recently, and it turns out that this gang is a ghost."
Oinker walked up to the man with the severed hand, grabbed him, and asked, "Where did you take those children?" ”
It's a pity that the man couldn't speak at all.
His hands were broken, a lot of blood was still gushing, and he was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, but even so, the man gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Oinker pulled out the man's leash and tied his severed hand.
The bleeding barely stopped, but the man wouldn't say anything.
Oinke had no choice but to ask Serena, "Where did you meet them?" ”
"It's just a few blocks ahead, not far from the Imperial Theater."
"Imperial Theater?"
As if thinking of something, Oinker took out his mobile phone and dialed Sui Feng's number.
The phone was connected, and Sui Feng's voice came, but with a little impatience.
"Oink, you'd better have something important."
There were still some voices on the other side of the phone that all men understood, and Oinker knew that Sui Feng must not have much patience at this time, so he hurriedly described what happened in the simplest language.
Sui Feng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Bring that person over to me, and I'll be in the Imperial Theater." ”
