I couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at the other party's serious expression, Xue Yun couldn't help but think of Longdu, which was thousands of miles away.
For Araki Hayato, Aomori County is his only hometown after traveling to this world.
Just like the position of Longdu in Xue Yun's heart, he could not betray easily, let alone stay out of the matter and turn a blind eye to all the unreasonableness as if it were nothing.
"Okay, I should understand what you're thinking."
He smiled wryly and nodded.
Xue Yun spread his hands and said helplessly: "After all, we cannot be 100% cold-blooded and ruthless. It is inevitable that we will be a little emotional. When doing things, it is better to have some bottom lines."
Hear the words.
Araki Hayato couldn't help but be a little stunned. He looked up and down at the young man in front of him again, with a little appreciation in his eyes.
"To be able to say such things, it seems that your life in the past twenty years has not always been smooth sailing..."
Pick up the well water in front of you.
Xue Yun simply raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The slightly bitter taste exploded all the way from his mouth, until it slid deep into his throat, and there was a trace of the sweetness that the well water should have.
"Who says it's not..."
Put down the broken porcelain cup.
Xue Yun grinned and said cheerfully: "The legendary smooth sailing journey to rebirth, how disgusting is that? It is more suitable for me to have many disasters, otherwise, it would be too damn boring!"
An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled.
They are both travelers in the post-apocalyptic wasteland era, and they are also restrained by emotional fetters.
The inexplicable tacit understanding between the two does not require too many words to explain.
"anyway......"
In front of him, Hayato Araki shook off the ashes from the cigarette rod and suddenly said, "Maybe I can help you with the supplies you need."
As soon as these words came out.
Xue Yun's interest was immediately aroused, but in an instant he felt like something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, how do you know that I need to collect supplies?!"
You know, from the beginning of tracking the "Ninhao Stray Dogs" to the end of walking into this dilapidated grocery store.
Xue Yun can 100% confirm that he has never mentioned collecting supplies...
"Don't be surprised, this has something to do with my system..."
Smile confidently.
Araki Hayato said mysteriously: "Although I separated the storage capabilities of the armed freaks and system space and temporarily gave them to the kid outside the door, I have never given up on their fundamental main functions."
At this moment.
In Hayato Araki's field of vision, multiple hazy dialog boxes had already appeared around Xue Yun.
There are dense texts floating in every dialog box, basically showing its origin, the purpose of this trip, the causes and consequences to the most vivid level.
There are almost no secrets!
"From the first time I met you at the entrance of the village, I already knew your identity and the true purpose of your trip..."
Suddenly I felt like everything was seen through by the other person.
Xue Yun's back could not help but be soaked with sweat. Although he may not be 100% sure, he can basically confirm that the biggest function of the other party's system is perspective and monitoring.
Just like his own system can instantly identify the type and ability of a freak through the force field aura.
The main function of Araki Hayato's internal system is to detect relevant information and motives of strangers.
"Old senior, you really hide your secrets..."
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Xue Yun couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "Junior, I admire you so much!"
That being said.
But Xue Yun also knew very well that if he had evil intentions when he walked into the village, he might immediately arouse Araki Hayato's hostility, and what he would get would not necessarily be an old piece of clothing, but on the contrary, a secret killing.
Yaya bah...
In fact, whether it is "Ningo Stray Dogs" or the grocery store, everything is just a cover-up.
This old boy, on the surface, says he doesn't care about worldly affairs, but in fact, he has been protecting Aomori County in his own way.
"Stop the ink stain. I'll show you a clear path."
The old Araki Hayato waved his sleeves and said bluntly: "Today's Aomori County, if you want to get a large amount of metals and energy, the only source is the temple on the cliff by the sea!"
"Temple?" Xue Yun said with a suspicious expression.
"That's right..."
After sorting out the tattered clothes, Araki Hayato continued.
"It is a place where daimyo pay homage to their ancestors. It is also the warehouse of the Kuchiki family. At the beginning of every month, a large amount of materials will be transported from various strongholds on the island overnight. Finally, they will be concentrated there and stored permanently. Sealed, everything you want should be there, and the quantity is sufficient to definitely meet your needs."
He pondered for a moment.
Hayato Araki reminded: "Tonight happens to be the rent collection day at the beginning of the month. If you want to act, you have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have to wait at least another month before the same opportunity appears again."
He drooped his eyelids.
Xue Yun did not doubt what the other party said, but there was obviously some unexplainable sense of exploitation in it.
"Senior, do you want to discuss cooperation with me?" Xue Yun said calmly.
"It can be understood this way."
Araki Hayato was also very generous and said bluntly: "I am old. Although the boy outside the door can resonate with Shinobi, it is a pity that he is still too weak. The people in the village need food, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this winter... "
There was a glint of expectation in his eyes.
Araki Hayato in front of him is no longer a so-called time traveler, let alone a powerful night watchman. He looks like just an ordinary local old man who cares about people's livelihood.
"So, I hope you can take action and help intercept the freight vehicles tonight. I will ask that boy to pick you up. At that time, the crime of robbing the tax truck will still be carried by the "Ninhao Stray Dogs", and of course he will not be held responsible for you. If any harm occurs, all materials except food can be yours..."
Get up slowly.
Araki Hayato suggested without hesitation: "After the matter is completed, you and your teammates can leave this island as soon as possible and do what you should do. You and I don't owe each other anything."
Staring directly at the old man in front of him.
Xue Yun narrowed his eyes and fell into silence for a while.
To be fair, this plan can solve almost all current problems. Both parties will get what they need, and there will be no sloppiness at all.
The only problem is-
As the current daimyo of Aomori County, Fuyumo Kuchiki...will he really continue to stand by and watch as planned?
Boom~~~
While Xue Yun was still thinking about it, a deafening explosion suddenly broke the peace of the night.
