While Chen Xing and Da Mao were having lunch and discussing their next itinerary, in the red house in the distance, a middle-aged man was wiping white porcelain plates at the bar.
He has a thin face and unshaven beard. He is wearing a shirt that is stained with oil and has already seen its original color. He has a dirty apron tied around his waist. He has a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes are half open and half closed, and he looks like he is not awake. look like. The slightly decadent middle-aged man in front of him is the owner of the "Arakawa Hotel", named Zhao Sixi. People who are familiar with him like to omit one word and call him "Zhao Si".
Zhao Si was a cook before, he is a cook now, and he probably will still be a cook in the future.
This is Zhao Si's definition of himself - a cook who searches for ingredients from all over the world and cooks delicious food all over the world.
Like other restaurants on the Red Earth Continent, there were several round wooden tables placed in front of the bar. At one of the tables, several groups of exiles were sitting, swallowing and chewing pieces of light yellow meat.
It is the breast meat of the sickle beetle, and it is also the only edible part of the sickle beetle. It is delicious when paired with yellow curry with bell pepper. This is a valuable conclusion he came to after countless personal experiments, drinking countless cans of antidote, and taking countless shots of Fordham.
"jingle……"
Suddenly, the bell on the door rang. Looking up, a traveler opened the door and walked in.
The gray-black traveling robe shows off her curves, and she is a woman with a very good figure. She walked to the bar and lifted her hood, revealing a slightly ordinary but very attractive face. I saw her butt lifted up and sitting on the high stool.
"Wine and food," the woman said.
Her eye sockets are deep, her gaze is deep and peaceful, and her bronze skin is healthy and shiny.
She was originally just an ordinary female sand citizen. Her appearance was not outstanding, and her spiritual power fluctuations were not strong. However, for some reason, she gave Zhao Si a sense of danger.
Zhao Si thought that he was not weak, otherwise he would not dare to open a shop in this wilderness. Whether it's the mutated creatures that appear from time to time or the exiles who come and go in the past, they are all full of dangers. But fortunately, this woman's danger was within an acceptable range, otherwise he would have run away long ago. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood.
Zhao Si poured a glass of champagne and fruit wine and pushed it towards the woman. This is his own brew from red berries. It has a fragrant smell and is very popular with women. However, there are very few female guests visiting this Arakawa Inn. Then he cut an apple and a pear, put them in a glass vessel, poured them with Kraft sauce, and pushed them in front of the woman with a silver fork.
"Eh?"
At this time, one of the exiles noticed the woman. His eyes fell on her breasts, waist, and round ass.
"Hey, look, look!" The man was drunk and poked his companion with his elbow.
In an instant, all the men at the table looked over. His eyes were shining like a pack of wolves spotting their prey.
With big breasts, fat butt, and a hint of resentment in his eyebrows, he really meets the criteria of a prey: plump and delicious, weak and easy to bully - at least that's how it seems.
"Hey, woman, come over and have a drink together."
A man came over and put his arm around the woman's shoulders. Under the influence of alcohol, he had forgotten the word-of-mouth advice of the older generation. In the wilderness, don't mess with lone women.
"Wow, it's so big and elastic."
The man's hand reached down and he let out a contented sigh. Zhao Xing was about to open his mouth to persuade, but saw a flash of cold light.
"ah!"
The man held his wrist and screamed in pain. The silver fork penetrated his palm, and it was bloody.
"You bitch!" "Seek death!" "I'll kill you!"
Several men gathered around him at the same time.
"Qiang!"
An arc of light flashed across, and a scimitar appeared in the woman's hand. The two heads rolled to the ground, but the bodies were still standing there.
"Chichi..."
A cloud of blood sprayed out from the broken neck, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The remaining three men were stunned. The woman struck so quickly that they didn't even see her movements clearly. Without even looking at them, the woman slowly sheathed the knife and said to the boss at the bar nonchalantly, "Get another fork."
Zhao Si didn't say anything, but took out a clean silver fork from under the bar and handed it to the woman. The woman was eating by herself, turning a blind eye to the people next to her.
The three men were so angry that they didn't dare to say a word. They took a few steps back and rushed out of the door, forgetting to even take their bags.
Zhao Si shook his head, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke, sighing, "Not really."
"I'm happy to." The woman said, then looked at the body on the ground, "Just use it as my accommodation fee." After saying that, she left the bar and walked to the second floor. "Arrange a room with hot water for me, or I can Find it yourself.”
"The second room on the left." Zhao Si threw a key over. The woman took the hand and went upstairs.
After a while, Zhao Si moved the two bodies to the backyard and threw them into a large iron cage. Two green-skinned monsters immediately pounced on him, biting each other eagerly. The sharp teeth bit the arms and thighs, pulled them off, raised their heads, and swallowed crazily.
The heads and necks of these two monsters are like pythons. The forelimbs are connected with membrane wings, and the hind limbs are short and powerful. Their skin is green and stained with translucent mucus.
"Eat, eat. Once you're full, you'll still have work to do in the evening." Zhao Si said to himself.
These are two green-skinned flying dragons he has domesticated, mainly used for freight transportation. He bribed some aeroboat pilots and would pass by them every time he escorted the exiles, bringing him some food and living supplies.
Since he couldn't land, he needed to ride a green-skinned flying dragon to carry it up and give him some benefits.
Suddenly, he seemed to have something in his heart and looked behind him. His vision was extremely far away, and he saw two exiles squatting on a collapsed building more than two thousand meters away. One of them was observing the area with a telescope. He waved to the other party as a greeting.
People in the distance saw it and put away their binoculars. Zhao Si grinned and returned to the house.
"The eyesight is so good..." Chen Xing muttered, seeming a little unhappy, then pointed in the direction of the big iron cage and asked the big cat, "Is anyone here doing business in this kind of thing?"
"I heard that there is someone in District 6 called Feilong Ranch." The big cat thought for a while and said.
"How far can it fly at one time?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Hundreds of kilometers a day, but you have to take a break every 100 kilometers or so." As if guessing what Chen Xing was thinking, Big Cat added another sentence, "There's no way to cross the sea."
"I know this." Chen Xing said. If they could really fly across the sea, governments wouldn't let them tame them.
"You're not thinking about robbing the airship, are you?" Big Cat asked inferences.
"Brother, you think too much." Chen Xing patted Da Mao on the shoulder. Unless he was crazy, he would ride a green-skinned flying dragon to rob an airship, and he would be shot down by a machine gun before he even got close.
"There's someone!" Just as he was about to climb down the collapsed building, the big cat suddenly pointed to the back and said.
Chen Xing turned around and saw several small black dots appearing several kilometers away, moving this way. He immediately lay down and looked through the binoculars.
"It's the same group of people last time." Chen Xing quickly made a judgment, hammered the floor in front of him hard, and cursed, "What a ghost!"
Along the way, he turned around and counter-tracked, but the other party still chased him. If he guessed correctly, there must be scouts with special talents in the opponent's team.
Among such talents, there are scent tracking commonly known as "dog nose", sound tracking commonly known as "wolf ears", "spiritual markers" that can lock targets within a certain range, and "psionic detection" that can sense nearby spiritual power sources. , as well as the "deduction of fate" in the category of mysticism.
Fate deduction and his danger perception are the same type of ability. He can sense the movement of all things in the dark and predict the short future.
However, these abilities all have a common flaw, which is that they are difficult to be accurate. It can only know the general direction of the target, but cannot find the specific location. When you get close, you can only rely on your naked eyes. Of course, scent tracking and sound tracking would be better, but as long as you don't move, don't make a sound, or have something smelly nearby, you can still provide cover.
Although it was impossible to determine the specific type of detection from several kilometers away, based on his experience in his previous life, he could preliminarily exclude canine noses and wolf ears. Because it is impossible to follow them so closely based on smell, and in terms of sound, they have not been in close contact and have no obvious sound characteristics, so it is difficult to track them.
It's most likely a mental mark or psychic detection. As for the derivation of fate, it is unlikely. Those who have this ability are all good people. How could they be sent here?
"Let's go." Chen Xing put away the telescope, hunched over and left the collapsed building, heading towards District 27.
Since the other party has the tracking ability, he will not take a detour. There are only two of them and they move faster than each other. The speed of a team's progress depends on the shortest shortcoming. The opponent's sniper with poor physical fitness cannot be any faster.
But after walking a few kilometers, they discovered another group of people. And the other party also discovered them and accelerated towards this side.
"I……"
Chen Xing almost yelled, he was so unlucky. Now there are wolves in front and tigers behind, which is very dangerous.
"Boss, what should I do?"
The big cat was also a little uneasy. Every time like this, the big cat would ask him for his opinion, just like when he faced the big devil in his previous life.
"Well..." Chen Xing tried to calm down and think about countermeasures.
A wolf in front and a tiger in back, I am fish and meat...
"That's right!" Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Chen Xing hammered his palm hard, "Wolf and tiger are fighting, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Since both groups of people have taken a fancy to them, let's bring them together.
Generally speaking, two gangs of equal strength will take a detour to avoid unnecessary conflicts. But with him as prey, the situation will take a 180-degree turn.
Chen Xing looked around and selected a building with half of it broken off, leaving only five floors. If it's too high, the target will be easily exposed, if it's too low, the field of view will be narrow, and five floors is just right.
The two of them hunched over, using the ruins to hide themselves, and entered the building bit by bit.
The building tilts slightly, about five degrees. When I walked into the stairwell, the floor and walls were covered with black moss, and my feet were very slippery. Da Mao held a rolling pin and Chen Xing walked up the stairs with a sheathed knife. The handrail shattered at the touch and turned into red rust.
After a while, the two people came to a room on the fifth floor. There was a living corpse in the toilet, and its head was chopped off by Chen Xing. The body was dragged out and dumped in the corridor.
This is a small single room, with a balcony opening out of the living room. The floor is slightly sloping, but not too steep. The room was a little damp, and the walls were covered with mold spots. Fortunately, there was sunlight coming in, and there was no black moss, otherwise the radiation toxins in their bodies would skyrocket.
Chen Xing looked at his watch. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours until dark. As long as you stay up until dark without being discovered, your chances of success will be high.
"Rest for a while and don't make any noise." Chen Xing ordered.
The big cat nodded, crossed his arms, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
