Gunfire Tavern.
On the side of the city close to the simple city wall, in a "commercial street" built with more than thirty blue iron boxes, and in a tavern with a truck carriage as the entrance, loud music accompanied by yelling resounded through the entire block.
Unlike the lifeless inner city, the commercial street with its pubs seemed very lively.
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding"
Pushing open the door decorated with mutant leg bones, bullet bells hanging on both sides swayed back and forth.
After passing through several drinking tables where Texas Hold'em poker was played, one could see a large number of drunken men wrestling with each other.
The smell of hot alcohol filled the bar, and the dirty old glass windows surrounding it were filled with fog.
Inside the iron-wrapped tavern, the floor was covered with dirty logs. Occasionally, I accidentally step on a rusty nail on a log.
The original color could no longer be seen on the rough wooden floor. It had turned brown early after being soaked in alcohol or vomit for a long time.
"boom!"
"One more drink! Burp...!"
Carrying a giant ax on his back, a strong man with a beard like a cross braid squeezed through the crowd, and his hand with the iron ring slammed directly on the bar made by the lathe.
The moment his swaying, broad body squeezed into the crowd, he aroused dissatisfaction from everyone around the bar.
Just a few shouts of scoldings from the sons of bitches and bastards, the crowd moved their positions out of habit.
The already small space suddenly became more crowded with the addition of strong men.
On one side of the bar, a drunkard who was holding on to the long table was even pushed to the ground and collapsed with a bang.
"A cup of explosive sparklers! A plate of rat tails!"
"Two iron nails, they have to taste good!"
The awakened man, who was carrying a giant ax, vaguely announced the food he wanted to go with the wine, and didn't care when he heard the curses in his ears.
Scolding and scolding, everyone is a good "brother" raised by dog food.
After sitting firmly, he swayed with blurred eyes, his yellow-brown eyes staring straight at the dancing bunny girl standing on the pole stage.
Under dim light.
Accompanied by the deafening music, the bunny girl wearing only a pink bikini swayed her butt like a sailor holding an oar, and the waves made his heart flutter.
These bitches are so fucking exciting...
Suppressing the magma-like heat in his heart, the strong man cursed secretly when he remembered the price of the girl while drunk.
Not everyone can afford the price of three boxes of canned meat, especially if you want to have a hard time on stage, the price will be doubled!
He had no choice but to slowly stretch out his hand and wave it swaying in the air, as if the giant rabbit on his chest was caught in the palm of his hand and shaken hard twice.
"Have you heard? There seems to be a fight outside the city!"
"I don't know if it's a mutant or what, but those dog-food defenders all rushed over!"
"There seems to be something big going on in the city now~"
Talking about gossip, as they were immersed in alcohol, their interest in the outside world was limited to what they could see from the window.
Amidst the noisy opening of cards, discussions of various news were filled.
"What's the big deal? It's probably that bunch of bastards who wanted to get some benefits, and then they started fighting."
With a rough voice, he drank a large glass of low-quality cocktail, and the strong man with the giant axe who took over the conversation replied indifferently.
The cocktail made with aviation gasoline instantly caused a flush to appear on his face, and the odor of alcohol spurted out had a strong smell of machine oil.
"Maybe not?"
The thin man with a sharp voice leaned next to him. The skinny man who had just spoken came back casually. He had two daggers on his waist. He was staring at the swaying butt while talking and instigating the fried rat tail:
"Even if the material search team and the city defenders come together, it won't be possible for everyone in the inner city to move, right?"
"I think the atmosphere outside is not right, I feel like something big is going to happen!"
"I heard from people who just came in outside that there are awakened people from the outside coming in!"
Chewing the fried rat tail carefully, the dagger man calmly moved closer to the strong man after finishing speaking. His greasy fingers were carefully placed on the man's lower clothes, and the blades on his fingertips made an opening like a loach.
Not noticing the dagger man's movements, the strong man with the giant ax snorted mockingly, then raised his head and drank the last sip:
"Stop your fucking bullshit."
"Who doesn't know that the Thunder Spear Safe Zone is covered by Clay and Riel's Spear? Only two Level 3 lunatics would plan to come here."
"Outsiders come in!? Haha! What brainless idiot made this up!?"
"Haha, that's right!"
"Sewer rats! Where did you hear this news? It stinks just like your rat's nest!"
Beside the bar, several drunkards who heard the dagger man spoke laughed and cursed mockingly.
The thin man known as Mouse didn't pay attention to the ridicule given to him. His purpose was not to discuss the news.
As he spoke loudly, the smell of alcohol spewing from the mouth of the strong man with the giant ax was directed at him. The strong bad breath mixed with the smell of alcohol almost made him faint on the spot.
Holding back his nausea, the dagger man just turned a deaf ear. After taking out a few wine bottle caps from the strong man's pocket with his nimble fingers, he nodded in flattery, half-seriously:
"Yes, yes, I heard that there were only two people who came in, so the news must have been wrong."
"Even if someone does come to cause trouble, as a big shot in the security force, you will definitely be able to kill those guys with one axe!"
"Ha ha!"
Listening to the dagger man's praise of himself, the strong man with the giant ax couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction, enjoying the envious looks around him.
"Another glass of bomb! Today's wine... hiccup... is not exciting!"
After everyone did their own thing and stopped talking about the news, the strong man with the giant ax also turned around and slammed the bar table again to order a drink.
In fact, as he was removed from the security force a few days ago, the only thing that can ease his worries is this cute cocktail.
When you're drunk, you don't have to think about shit like zombies or tomorrow.
"Something big happened! Something big happened!"
Compared with the crowd who didn't care about the news, a tall man with a wallet hurriedly entered the tavern and shouted in panic to the crowd.
Looking at the people who had stopped drinking, he quickly squeezed through the crowd of card players and went straight to the bar:
"I heard some news when I was passing by the inner city just now. I heard... I heard that Paro is dead!"
After finishing speaking, the tall man pushed away a barbarian sleeping on the bar with a solemn expression, and then called the bartender:
"A cup of flamingo and call your boss."
"What!?"
The news was so shocking that the people at the bar who originally didn't care about the news looked at the tall man in surprise.
Compared with the previous information about the dagger man, his information is undoubtedly more accurate.
"Paro is dead!? That Ice Tiger's brother, Paro!?"
As if they couldn't believe it, for those present, whether Paro was a defender or Clay's brother, no matter who he was, he was a big shot that they couldn't afford to offend.
But now, someone actually told them that Paro was killed?
"That's right."
Nodding heavily, the tall man didn't seem to be faking, which immediately attracted the attention of the people who were still awake in the tavern.
"Caucasus, don't talk nonsense! If Paro is not dead...if he finds out that you are talking nonsense, you will be hung on the city wall!"
"His brother is at level three, no one can protect you!"
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe what he said, the tall man looked hesitant and hesitated:
"It should be true."
"I was blasted out while passing by the inner city. Many city defenders and important figures ran towards the core fortress. Moreover, there was indeed a battle just outside the city."
'You said, if nothing happened, how could this happen? '
After the tall man finished speaking, he showed a deep uneasiness. He originally wanted to ask for more information, but his status was too low, and the city defenders under martial law sealed the inner city.
The news was like a bombshell, and even the awakened ones who were immersed in bridge games turned to look at him:
"impossible..."
"Vodka, who is so bold and dares to kill Paro? Didn't the defenders kill that guy? If this is true, if Lord Clay finds out, all the defenders' heads will fall off!"
Shocking news, no matter how true the tall man said it, they couldn't accept the fact for a while.
After all, for them, Paro, who has the support of the third level, is a being that no one dares to mess with.
Sighing, the tall man lowered his voice with a complicated expression:
"I guess, is it possible that this person is not afraid of Mr. Clay at all? I feel... things are going to change..."
Just coming out of the wine cellar, a short, fat boss narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the man who had made the atmosphere tense:
"Boy, you can drink freely, but you can't talk nonsense."
"Do you know what Lord Clay really means? Are you not afraid of him? Are you not even afraid of the Spear of Thor?"
"Two Level 3s! There is absolutely no way any awakened person would dare to come and cause trouble here!"
Listening to the tavern owner scolding him, the tall man smiled bitterly and then felt that he was overthinking.
Seeing that the tall man stopped talking, the atmosphere in the bar became as lively as running water again. Many people simply joked about the news and talked about it.
"I think it's true that outsiders came here, but maybe they came to join, or they were caught on the spot by the city defenders, waiting to be hung up on the city wall later!"
"I still don't believe there is anyone better than Mr. Clay in this world! Let alone Mr. Childcare!"
Laughter and anger, as the two powerful men who jointly established the Thunder Spear Safe Zone, the fear of these two powerful men in the safe zone has been deeply rooted in their bones.
Third level, there are still two third level!
However, just when everyone was about to take the joke casually, the bullet bell at the door suddenly rang.
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding"
After opening the door, everyone looked back instinctively, and their expressions suddenly froze.
I saw the opened door of the tavern, and Tiger Bob, who was originally the supreme commander of the city defense army, was holding the door open with a gloomy expression and standing aside.
He lowered his head and stretched out his hand toward the door, as if he was opening the door for someone.
Outside the door, the city defenders all arrived, looking equally ugly as they "protected" a strong man and a young man among them.
Surrounded by hundreds of second-level awakeners, Lin Anzheng slowly walked into the tavern under the guidance of Tovsky.
In an instant, everyone in the tavern was stunned when they saw the strange scene in front of them, as if they had realized something.
The higher-ups of the Stormpike Safe Zone are leading the way for that handsome, even half-breed man?
Who is this person...? ?
