"Okay, I don't move. Fire, don't move. ”

The man hurriedly said.

The daughter didn't move, staring blankly at her father.

The attacker revealed his figure from the darkness, and it was Chu Zihang.

He looked at the father and daughter, their bare skin was irregularly covered in red bumps, and yellow juice was oozing from the broken spots.

"What's going on with you?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"It's not a contagion."

The man reflexively wanted to scream, but lowered his volume in time under the threat of the muzzle.

"It's a genetic disease that runs in our family, and it happens from time to time, but it doesn't spread to others at all."

He said in frustration.

"Then why are the guards kicking you out?"

Chu Zihang asked again.

"Because of Jonny's bastard, he was jealous that I had robbed him of his business, so he told the boss and gave him something."

The man said resentfully.

Chu Zihang observed his expression, and it didn't look like a fake.

"How many days have you been ill?"

"It's been eight days, and it's all going to be fine, it's all that brute."

The man's tone was full of hatred.

Eight days, with his physique, even if it is really an infectious disease, he will definitely outlive them.

"If you want to live, follow me."

Chu Zihang said.

In a semi-forced situation, the father and daughter followed him to the platform.

"Your name."

Chu Zihang said.

"Hammer."

The man replied.

"I'm asking for my real name."

He added a little more strength to his hands.

The people of the lower echelons of the nest capital, like the gangsters of the earth, like to give themselves some powerful nicknames.

"That's my name. My father was also a blacksmith, and that's how I named my daughter. ”

The man said with some grievances.

"Okay, Hammer. Do you know me? ”

Chu Zihang asked.

Hammer looked up and looked at him earnestly.

"I don't know."

Hammer shook his head.

"Do you know all the people in the settlement?"

He asked again.

"I've grown up in Blackwater, and I'm sure I've seen people here, even if I can't name them. But I'm a stranger to you. ”

Hammer said honestly.

Chu Zihang nodded, it seems that Lu Mingfei did not escape from this settlement.

"Hammer, you now have two options. One is to leave with your daughter, and the other is to prove to me that you are useful. ”

He said as he pulled out a packet of nutrition from his pocket and shook it.

The eyes of the hammer and the fire dangled with the nutrition packet, and the saliva at the corners of his mouth flowed out.

They had been sick for eight days and had not worked, and their little savings had long since been used up, and they had been hungry for two days.

"Boss, I'm a blacksmith and can help you craft weapons."

Hammer said, swallowing his saliva.

"It's useful, but it's not enough."

Chu Zihang shook his head.

The blacksmith is a good asset, but it doesn't mean much to him as a dream traveler.

"I can be your subordinate and help you kill."

Hammer gritted his teeth and said.

Although he has never killed anyone, the instinct to kill has long been engraved into the genes of the nest people.

"It's still not enough."

Chu Zihang continued to shake his head.

Although the foundation looks good, he is just an ordinary person, and he can kill a dozen in a minute.

"Boss, what do you want?"

Hammer had to ask.

"Laser guns, carapace armor, technological creations"

Chu Zihang gave examples one by one.

"Boss, if I had these things, I wouldn't have been kicked out."

Hammer said helplessly.

If he had these, he would have bribed the leader a long time ago, and he could have killed Jonny by the way.

"Then you're useless."

Chu Zihang put away the nutrition package and was about to leave.

"Wait, Boss."

Hammer quickly stopped him.

"I and Huo's illness will be cured in two or three days, and we can still go back to Blackwater Nest by then."

Hammer said.

"So what?"

Chu Zihang said coldly.

Probably because of Lu Mingfei's memory, his personality and way of speaking have also been affected to a certain extent.

"You escaped from another settlement. As long as you have my guarantee and pay a fee, you can enter the Black Water Nest to live, and no one will care who you used to be. ”

Hammer said.

After all, it is a technical job, and the intelligence is higher than the average level of the bottom nest.

His words really made Chu Zihang's heart move, the difficulty of surviving in the settlement was much lower than outside, and it was more convenient to get supplies.

"How much does it cost?"

He asked.

"The equivalent of 5 packets of nutrition is enough."

Hammer thought for a moment and said.

5 packets of nutrients, he only has 4 packs in total, and he has to eat for the past two days, it seems that he has to hunt or pick up garbage.

"Do you know where to hunt?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"I don't know."

Hammer looked dazed.

He had never been out of the settlement, and he had no idea what it was like outside.

Counted, the hammer is actually the middle class of the bottom nest.

If there were no other gangs to join him, and he and his daughter had not become ill, they would probably have survived until the toxins accumulated in their bodies exploded.

"And where does that fork in the road lead?"

Chu Zihang asked again.

"I know, I've heard others say, that it leads to an abandoned water purification plant."

Hammer said quickly.

Abandoned water purification plant?

Lu Mingfei mentioned that he once found several intact water purification chips in an abandoned water purification plant and made a windfall.

It was also with this start-up capital that he was able to recruit troops and form his own gang.

Chu Zihang handed the nutrition package to Huo, watched her tear open the package and couldn't wait to take a big sip, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Daddy, drink."

The fire took a sip and stopped drinking and handed the hammer.

"Huo Niang, drink half of it and give it to Dad."

The hammer touched her daughter's head.

"Boss, are you going hunting?"

He asked Chu Zihang.

"That's right. You just stay here and hide in the chest. If I come back, I'll call you by name. ”

Chu Zihang pointed to the boxes scattered all over the place.

He didn't let them hide in a safe house, which was his last safeguard.

"Okay, Boss, we'll wait for you to come back."

Hammer nodded and said.

On the way here, he had already seen the bodies of the two of them, and as a blacksmith, he could certainly see that those injuries were caused by Chu Zihang's shotgun.

Whoever is ruthless enough and big enough is the boss, this is the social consensus of the bottom nest people.

Chu Zihang turned to leave, hesitated when passing by the corpse, and still took the remaining bullets in the bolt-action rifle.

Trust in the nest was too extravagant, and he didn't want to give himself a reason to shoot them.

Walking to the fork in the road again, Chu Zihang drank a pack of nutrition packets and drank half a bag of water.

There may be another battle ahead, so you have to stay in good shape.

He took a deep breath of foul air and walked towards the passage to the left.

The further you go, the wider the road ahead.

After walking for about an hour, Chu Zihang came to a huge clearing.

A magnificent factory building rises from the ground, and several giant pipes are connected to the biochemical tank of the water purification plant from the upper level.

Indescribably complex wastewater fills the biochemical ponds, overflowing from time to time, eroding the surrounding structures into mottled marks.

Even though the plant has ceased to function, the upper echelons continue to discharge wastewater into the plant.

I don't know how many years of wastewater overflow, and a swamp has accumulated along the perimeter of the plant.

The rich luster made Chu Zihang feel that the heavy metal would exceed the standard at a glance.

However, this also means that there must be animals around that make a living.

Chu Zihang picked up his gun and cautiously walked towards the waste water swamp.
