Chapter 77: What's in the jar

Told by Saul, his father took a few steps back.

But as Thor walked outside, he followed.

"So you're saying my son ran into the woods?"

"And his life is in danger?"

Thor stopped again and glared at his father.

The father, who understood that his actions were a little abrupt, immediately became a little overwhelmed.

"Don't delay, you just do what you do, just tell me about it."

The father's attitude was extremely humble, and even his tone was much weaker than before.

Thor snorted, ignoring him.

The dust in the cracks saw this scene clearly.

I just feel a little sad.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to speak.

"No need to look for it, I'm hiding here, not in the woods."

Xie Chen raised the bar slightly with both hands, followed by two feet, and exposed his body.

Father, Wood, and Thor looked this way together.

Xie Chen himself also walked out of the crack.

Before they could ask questions, Xie Chen took the lead in extending his hand to signal.

"I know you have a whole bunch of questions on your mind."

"But hold it back for now."

Xie Chen pointed at Thor.

"I'm hiding here because I want to see what you'll do when you come back."

Thor pointed at himself, puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Am I going to do anything harmful?"

Xie Chen smiled slightly.

"It's just a normal person's suspicion, and you don't have to be so panicked."

Thor gritted his teeth, his cheeks trembling as he spoke.

"I said, these ......"

Xechen interrupted Thor.

"If you were a tourist, would you feel that you were not in a hurry when something happened that might threaten your life?"

"Probably not, right?"

"Either you can keep people in the dark from beginning to end, without even knowing the slightest detail, which is easy to control."

"But since we know a little bit of the inside story as a tourist, it's better to tell it all."

"Causing panic and causing panic are two different things, and trying to deal with tourists now will make things irreversible."

Seeing that Thor swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, Xie Chen also felt that what he said should be useful, so he continued to grind while the iron was hot.

"Paper can't hold fire."

"What's more, it's still such a big thing, how easy is it to hide so many people?"

Thor pulled out a chair from the counter next to him, then sat down on it and muttered for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's more complicated than you think, and as I said, I don't know much about it."

Xie Chen and the others originally thought that they had hope to know the details of the matter.

But when he listened to Saul's words, he couldn't help but have a regretful expression on his face.

"Still."

"It's okay to tell a few of you, but the rest of you don't know, I hope you all help me hide it."

"The more people know about this kind of thing, the harder it is to manage."

Thor stared at the three.

Xie Chen looked at this gaze that was not pleading at all, but nodded without hesitation.

Thor took a deep breath, then stood up, his thoughts as if following his eyes.

"It all started the day I joined on this beach."

"At first, when I looked at the lucrative job posting, I didn't believe it, but I was more interested in giving it a try."

"There are many more applicants like me, but they were eliminated in the recruitment trial, and I remember very well at the time, the courage test and diving assessment, physical fitness test, and even the reserve knowledge of guns and ammunition are needed, which can be said to be a lot."

"If I hadn't been a veteran, I probably wouldn't have been able to get by."

Xie Chen nodded, and said in response: "In the current situation on the beach, these assessments are also normal. ”

Thor nodded.

"But it's still not enough."

"The last lifeguard was dismissed because he reached the specified age, even if I passed the assessment and joined, but in the first two months of employment, he still needs to take me to adapt."

"Every night there is a strange noise outside, and even sometimes those half-man, half-fish monsters, just stand in front of the window and watch you."

"You have to make sure the house is bright enough."

"Under this high degree of repression, it is really not something that ordinary people can bear."

Wood scratched his head.

"Are there really monsters?"

"And you're still working here as a lifeguard? It's me who quit a long time ago. ”

Thor waved his hand.

"I've gotten used to it over time."

"The most important thing is that the salary is good, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay here."

Xie Chen, on the other hand, focused on the half-human, half-fish words in Thor's mouth.

"Are those monsters really in the sea?"

In the face of his inquiry, Thor did not hide it this time, but nodded very generously.

"The source comes from the sea."

"But the fishing village is also their base, and it can be said that not only the bottom of the sea, but also the land is gradually being eroded by them."

"During my tenure, these monster cities have tried to completely encroach on this beach more than once, but they have failed in the end."

Xie Chen squinted slightly, and said his conjecture to Thor.

"The scope of that lighthouse must also be one of the management areas of the beach, right?"

Thor stared at the dust, but nodded.

"I didn't expect you to know this, that's indeed one of the scope of management, but I haven't had much intersection with the people in it until now."

"That is, the last lifeguard intersected more."

"Before he resigned, he also told me that if the activities of those monsters become more frequent, I should take the initiative to take the walkie-talkie and report it to the people on the other side of the lighthouse."

Xie Chen asked with some confusion.

"So you haven't seen anyone on the other side of the lighthouse?"

"Isn't there a possibility that the lighthouse has already been captured by that group of monsters?"

When Xie Chen said this, Thor couldn't help but be stunned.

I haven't been to the lighthouse until now, so maybe there really is such a possibility.

Xie Chen's face was a little complicated.

Just from Thor's reaction, you can see that there is indeed such a possibility.

But Thor's face was even more complicated and ugly.

If the lighthouse has fallen, how long will your side last?

Today? Or tomorrow?

Thor rubbed his head helplessly, not so much thinking of a way to solve it, but rather annoying at how to solve this problem.

It's not necessarily 100%, but even the slightest possibility can't be ignored.

Xie Chen glanced at Wood and his father, who were unable to speak.

After thinking about it for a while, he still asked Thor.

"Don't you have a way to deal with those monsters?"

"If you say you're just physique, then I definitely don't believe it."

"What are the weaknesses of those monsters? Or do you have some tools to deal with them or something? ”

When asking these two questions, Xie Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, cast his eyes on the waist bag hanging from Thor's waist.

Naturally, Thor was not stupid and knew his purpose in asking this question.

When it came to this, he didn't continue to hide it.

Thor reached out and opened his fanny pack and took out a folding baton from inside.

Xie Chen didn't pay attention to the baton.

With this thing alone, you can't solve those monsters at all, and it's hard to even say how much damage they do.

Saul's next move also proved that he had this idea.

He turned over and took out a sealed bottle from it again, and the bottle rose with a push-type nozzle.

"That's it."

Wood and his father were the first to come over to see it.

"Can this thing deal with the monsters you call it?"

Wood looked puzzled and pointed to the jar in Thor's hand.

Xie Chen looked at his father's expression, almost no different from Wood next to him.

But Wood asked for him, and he didn't say anything.

Thor knew that the crowd didn't believe it, so he held the jar in one hand and straightened the sprinkler head with the other, and then turned to Wood.

Wood was held in front of him like this, and immediately took a few steps back.

Thor didn't mean to stop, but got up and followed.

Xie Chen immediately followed to stop him, and his father also shouted loudly: "What are you going to do? ”

But Thor didn't mean to stop, but pressed his index finger hard.

A large stream of liquid was squeezed out of the canister by the sprinkler head, and then all sprayed towards Wood.

Wood bent over and stopped in front of him with his hands.

The liquid from the jar spilled all over Wood's arm.

A strange touch permeated Wood's hands, causing him to scream anxiously and collapse to the ground.

"Ahhh

The father immediately grabbed Wood, who was lying on the ground, and ran over to check where his arm had been sprayed.

Xie Chen, on the other hand, reached out and snatched the jar directly from Thor's hand, and pressed him to the ground with his backhand in just an instant.

Thor struggled violently, only to feel his face blush.

No matter how you say it, you are also a veteran, although you are also defenseless, but you were pressed to the ground by such a young man, and you really can't save face.

"Let go of me!"

Thor opened his mouth and roared.

Xie Chen not only ignored him, but the strength in his hand increased a little.

Father eagerly looked at where Wood's arm had been sprayed.

"How?"

"Is the situation serious?"

Under his father's concerned tone, Wood's violent struggle also stopped.

Then the whole person was stunned for a moment, and glanced at his hands again.

The atmosphere was so sluggish.

The father looked at Wood, and Wood looked into the eyes of his father.

"It doesn't seem to be anything, don't say it, your hands still feel pretty cool."

"Cool?"

Father listened to Wood's words, and was a little puzzled.
