Chapter Seventy-One: War and Turmoil
Out of the Jinwale Bar, Lou Cheng did not go directly to San Jose Street, for the sake of Lin Que's matter, he ran all the way, the water and rice did not enter, at this time his mouth was dry, his stomach sounded, although he did not lose his combat power, but the state was definitely not at the peak, and the next goal was quite weird, maybe there was any danger hidden, and he must be fully prepared!
Looking at the darkening sky, he condensed a piece of ice crystal, stuffed it into his mouth, and melted it with his tongue, which was both cold and refreshing, and moisturizing.
"According to the map given by the military, there should be a small food market nearby, ......open from six to eight o'clock," Lou Cheng muttered to himself, slowly scanning the surroundings, and found no restaurants, and even no more than five shops were still open on the entire street.
He didn't look back at Vega, following his memories and occasionally looking at pictures, and came to a ruin that seemed to have been bombed by planes.
The faint light of dusk shone here, illuminating the shadows of the hidden places blurred.
The stall owners came from all directions, each occupying their assigned position, heavily armed and loaded with guns, for fear of being recklessly attacked by customers.
Lou Chengji looked over and saw compressed biscuits, small bags of flour, and cans with Chinese labels.
"Can you give me two cans of beef?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with messy hair and well-rounded facial features jumped over Lou Cheng and walked in front of a stall owner with a beard on her face, her eyes staring at the "tin box" were like a hungry wolf finally finding its prey, and she was reluctant to move away for half a minute, and it was not difficult to detect the sound of swallowing saliva with Lou Cheng's hearing.
The stall owner glanced at her and said with a smile in broken English:
"As long as you have Chinese and American banknotes, or gold, or guns. ”
"I don't ......" the girl's voice lowered, and then as if she had made up her mind, "I, I can sleep with you, as long as two cans, beef ......"
The stall owner looked her up and down a few times, and finally said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait until the end." ”
"Yes, can you give me one first?" asked the girl eagerly.
"Come to me. The stall owner pointed to the location next to him, "You have to stay with me for two days!"
"Good, good!" the girl walked around, took an open can with her eyes shining, and sat down on her knees without a knife or fork, as she reached out and grabbed a piece of oily beef, stuffed it into her mouth, and gobbled it up, while the stall owner patted her chest and buttocks as if she were weighing the goods, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this scene, Lou Cheng couldn't help but think of several cousins, Qi Yunfei, Chen Xiaoxiao and Ma Xi, they are about the same age as the girl in front of them, they are wandering around the campus, busy with their studies, worrying about losing weight or not, doing homework or copying homework, drinking soy milk or milk for breakfast, whether they love me or not, etc.
For a moment, Lou Cheng's heart fluctuated, as if something was stuck in his throat.
He withdrew his gaze, changed stalls, and said in a low voice:
"Give me ten cans, twenty bags of compressed biscuits, and ......"
The stall owner was stunned for a few seconds, silently took out a stupid black calculator, and pressed it for a long time to come up with an answer.
Lou Cheng doesn't like similar items in China, and he doesn't know the normal price, but he believes that there will be at least a five-fold or even tenfold increase here.
He took out his wallet, emptied the banknotes, and took a little bit of the gold given by the military before paying the bills.
After taking the food wrapped in old newspapers, he casually opened a non-self-heating canned beef and was about to enjoy it, but he heard the stall owner kindly remind:
"This can is better to freeze it, and the gravy is jelly, gurgling...... The Kinwale bar on Tutans Avenue had a fridge and had its own generator which you could borrow for a small fee......"
As he spoke, the stall owner couldn't help but lick his lips.
Lou Cheng nodded slowly, holding the old newspaper containing the rest of the food in one hand, and the hoarfrost in the other, quickly froze the can.
With a flick of his wrist, a piece of beef and the jelly formed by the condensation of the juice soared into the sky and flew into his mouth.
Not bad...... Lou Cheng turned to leave while chewing.
The stall owner was stupid there, starting with the cold air surrounding the cans.
He was not an ignorant pauper with access to food, so he knew what this meant!
This, this is the strongest of the strong!
When such characters come to the market, who would dare to take their money? They will not have the consciousness to pay!
That's the rule of Tignes, the universal rule!
After a long time, he looked at Lou Cheng's back, and then looked at his stall, and his heart was full of happiness.
At the edge of the ruins, he found a random half of the wall and sat down, and Lou Cheng ate without wasting time.
When there were only two cans left, five bags of compressed biscuits, and three bottles of drinking water, he re-wrapped them and walked out of the market, where he saw many children staring intently at passers-by, pleading, hoping to get some food.
Lou Cheng sighed secretly, and threw the rest of the food to the different children, not looking at their surprised looks, nor paying attention to the disputes that arose because of it.
This is the war-torn zone.
............
172 San Jose Ave.
There are old bullet marks at the entrance, and many of the glass windows near are damaged, Lou Cheng has his hands in his pockets, stepping on the mottled stairs, and going up step by step, with a calm posture and a relaxed expression, like an invited visitor.
His "Ice Heart" has ended, and his spirit naturally senses the situation of ten meters around his body - for the strong people of Waigang, after penetrating the heaven and earth, the spirit will definitely mutate and cover a wider area, similar abilities belong to the common characteristics, but those who cultivate the "Cave Enemy Ice Heart" will have a clearer effect and a larger range.
When passing by the fifth floor, Lou Cheng did not stop and continued to ascend, and it was this "passing by" that the scenes on the walls and rooms in his heart lake had been reflected:
There are tattered sofas and tables with all kinds of empty cans, many of which have not been lost for a long time and have grown hair......
No one is ...... Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully, took a turn on the sixth floor and returned to the ground floor, came to the opposite side, leaned against the shadows, and watched the entrance.
At this time, it was already night, and the street without street lights was dark, and only in the apartments on both sides, there was a little candlelight.
If you are in China, there must be at least two shops selling barbecue, one selling lo-mei, one cooking fried rice, and one 24-hour supermarket...... There must be tables on the side of the road, filled with scents and bottles...... Oh, I can't see such a scene now, after all, everything is for environmental protection, for the sake of a green and clean world, at most there are 24-hour supermarkets left...... Lou Cheng leaned back against the wall, his hands in his pockets, and he was reminded of the desertion and dilapidation around him.
The same sky, but two lives.
I don't know how long later, his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw the mysterious strong man in the video returning, he was wearing a black trench coat, his face was expressionless, and his green eyes were like beasts.
Seeing the other party enter No. 172, Lou Cheng didn't rush to follow, and waited for a while before stretching his muscles and planning to go over.
At that moment, the mysterious blond-haired and blue-eyed powerhouse came down again and headed for the other side of the street.
Lou Chengbing's heart was clear, his spirit spread, and he was separated by dozens of meters, hanging each other far away with his hands in his pockets, and used the secret method of cultivating the truth.
Turn left, go straight, go right, the blonde and blue-eyed mysterious powerhouse seems to be unaware of it, and there is no abnormality at all.
Ten minutes later, he came to a ruined area on the outskirts of the city, where the factory could be faintly seen, with buildings crumbling and steel shattered.
Suddenly, this blonde, blue-eyed mysterious powerhouse turned around like a whirlwind, and his cold gaze fell on Lou Cheng, locking him on.
Can he detect this? It's a little weird...... Lou Cheng thought unhurriedly.
Two more people jumped from the second floor of the ruined factory, one with dark skin, short stature, black hair and black eyes, one with pale yellow eyebrows and beard, and one light blue eye.
They either dissolve in the night, or have muscles, they don't seem to be the same, but they have a similar temperament, the same temperament as the blonde and blue-eyed mysterious powerhouse!
Rigid and stiff, not smart enough, weird and crazy!
The blond-haired and blue-eyed strong man saw that his companion was blocking Lou Cheng's retreat, and said in a tone that did not rise or fall at all:
"Abominable and troublesome stalker. ”
After speaking, he looked at his two companions and continued to say in a voice that did not subdued or frustrated:
"The reaction speed of the Tignes vigilante is thirty minutes, fifteen minutes for the city defense and five minutes for the strong men in the neighborhood. ”
"Four, six, end the battle in five minutes. ”
No. 4, No. 6?Lou Cheng frowned slightly, and raised his right hand from his trouser pocket, and the remaining coin was interspersed between his fingers.
Zheng!
The coin was bounced into the air by him.
