Catastrophe
Chapter 17: 5 finger sheep
Ning Zhe heard that Lin Xun also got rid of the two escaped robbers, and his tense emotions relaxed a little: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to leave immediately!"
"Then these corpses..." Lin Xun asked tentatively, looking at the few people on the ground.
"Stay here." Ning Zhe thought for a moment, then took the two and left quickly.
The three took a detour and reappeared on the other side of the alley.
"Boom!"
As soon as the three of them walked onto the main street, they heard a dull sound, followed the sound, accompanied by the sound of tight steel cables and the sound of gears snapping behind the city wall, a huge gate in the fortress was slowly being lifted. rise.
"It's almost dark this day, why is the door open again? Brother, the frequency of people coming out of the fortress seems to have increased recently." Lin Xun looked at the open gate and muttered softly.
There are many gates outside the fortress. Usually, the gates for workers to enter the outer city are iron fence gates. This kind of huge gate is directly connected to the inner city. I don’t know if it is for safety reasons or to separate from the refugees. This huge gate The gate is not connected to the outer city, but is directly connected to the inner city by a tunnel.
"Yeah! These guys rarely leave the city after the evening." Ning Zhe looked at the gate made of alloy and was also a little curious.
Inside the dark city gate, a team gradually appeared, not only mercenaries on horses, but also a large number of guards.
The khaki combat uniforms of the mercenaries and the gray uniforms of the guards are in stark contrast.
The guard army is different from the mercenary team organized by the fortress managers. They are all regular armed forces established by major chaebols. They are the official army of the Federation in name. The full name is called the Free Federation Armed Guard Force. .
"Buzz!"
After the cavalry, several steel-framed vehicles appeared soon after.
The so-called steel frame car is to weld the outline of a model with steel pipes, cover it with rain-proof silk, and then pierce the engine of a car. After a simple transformation, it can go on the road. The performance is not comparable to that of a regular car, but it is definitely faster than a horse. A lot, but also can adapt to more terrain.
In the wasteland, the steel frame car is the most common model, but it is definitely not affordable for ordinary people. In addition to the expensive engine, fuel is even more scarce than drinking water.
These military steel-frame vehicles are all upgraded versions, imitating the shape of the "Lynx Assault Vehicle" before the cataclysm. Each vehicle can seat three people and can also be equipped with weapons such as machine guns. The position of the wheels is also covered by steel plates, which are welded with sharp iron pieces, making the whole car look like a hedgehog, hence the name, and it is called a hedgehog car.
Seeing the vehicle appear, a hint of curiosity flashed in Ning Zhe's eyes. These teams seemed to be going to a distant place, but dispatching them late at night was not the style of the city people.
Could it be that something important happened?
…
Before the sun went down, the three of Ning Zhe picked up Fatty Li and rushed to the best restaurant in the market town.
"Mr. Zhuo! You're here!" The restaurant owner saw Zhuo Mingyuan appear and went up to serve him diligently.
"Today, I want to thank my friends. Money is not an issue. Don't fool me with those junk food for refugees!"
"Okay, then please invite your backyard. There is a private room in the backyard, and it's quiet!" The boss led a few people to the backyard, arranged them in a room enthusiastically, and showed a mysterious smile to Zhuo Mingyuan: "Mr. Zhuo, please wait a moment, I'll arrange the food for you!"
"What is it that makes it so mysterious? I have something else to do after dinner, hurry up!" Zhuo Mingyuan said impatiently, fearing that the boss would waste his time.
"Please don't be impatient, I assure you that your wait is definitely worth it!" The boss smiled and turned away.
"You've all worked hard for my business, let's drink some water first!" Zhuo Ming picked up the kettle at the far end and poured a glass of water for each of them.
"Bah!"
About five minutes later, while a few people were chatting, there was a strange cry from outside the door, and then the restaurant owner was leading a cloven-hoofed animal that was slightly smaller than a bison, with long horns on its head and covered with white curly hair. Went into the room.
"Damn! What the **** is this?!" Lin Xun looked at the animals he had never seen before and instinctively picked up the hunting bow on the table.
"Ah!" Fatty Li also screamed in fright, jumped up from the chair, and hid in the corner behind.
"Those with long hooves shouldn't be some beasts that are too aggressive!" Ning Zhe glanced at the animal's legs and quickly made a judgment.
"Several, don't be afraid, this is our dinner today!" The boss smiled at Zhuo Mingyuan when he saw everyone's nervous expressions: "Mr. It's made in the city, let's eat this tonight, what do you think? I'm not telling you, in the market town that surrounds the city, there will never be more than three shops that can eat mutton! I don't charge too much! For your money, two legs of lamb are only two hundred yuan, how about it?"
"..." Zhuo Mingyuan looked at the sheep brought by the boss, his whole body was like a lightning strike.
"Is this a sheep?" Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at it with novelty, but Fatty Li still did not dare to approach.
"Sir, don't you think it's too expensive? So, you give 180 lines? If it's lower, it won't work! To tell you the truth, I'm going to kill this sheep and use it as a treat. If I didn't see you in the transportation team in the past, I wouldn't have brought it out at all!" Seeing that Zhuo Mingyuan was silent, the boss took the initiative to make concessions.
"You said it's a sheep? But... shouldn't a sheep have five fingers? How can it have hooves?!" Zhuo Mingyuan was pulled back to his thoughts, thinking of the half mutton that his father brought home ten years ago, shaking Asked like a sieve.
"Boss, you can really joke, how can sheep have fingers! Since ancient times, they also have hooves!" The boss grinned.
"That's not right! Shouldn't sheep have five fingers! Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!" Zhuo Mingyuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly roared, he lost control in an instant, and rushed towards the sheep frantically, while vomiting heavily , tightly strangled its neck.
"Hey! Hey! What the **** are you doing?!" The boss immediately stepped back when he saw Zhuo Mingyuan's actions, and looked at Ning Zhe and the others with some fear: "What's the matter with your friends? Aren't you crazy?!"
"Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!"
"Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!"
"What..."
Roars and screams of sheep echoed in the private room.
Zhuo Mingyuan is crazy!
He ran wildly on the street, shouting the name "Little Sister Zhuo", but as he ran, he forgot his sister's name.
In order to win this place in the city, Zhuo Mingyuan had little money left. As a "friend" who came to the restaurant with him, Ning Zhe naturally had the obligation to take care of him. After he dug out Zhuo Mingyuan's wallet, It was found that he only had more than a thousand dollars left.
Zhuo Mingyuan gave up everything he had, and was willing to give up living a prosperous life in a refugee area, and also went to the city to find his sister.
In that wallet, UU reads www. uukanshu.com also has a city identity certificate, the owner is a white man, and his identity is the supervisor of Zhuo Mingyuan's mining area.
By now, everything is clear.
Zhuo Mingyuan, who remembered his sister for ten years, couldn't bear the inhuman life in the mining area and the abuse by the foreman.
Returning to the fortress from the mining area alone, I do not know how many dangers and tortures I have experienced.
He originally thought that he could find his sister and return to a normal life, but the five-fingered sheep he had eaten shattered all his fantasies about life...
Winter is approaching, and Ning Zhe is very short of money. If he takes the money away from the lunatic Zhuo Mingyuan, no one will hold him accountable.
But he didn't move the money. After paying Zhuo Mingyuan's cost of strangling the sheep, he didn't keep the rest and handed it all to the restaurant owner, looking at Zhuo Mingyuan who was still running on the street: "Starting today, Give him two bean cakes and a bowl of water every day until the money is spent, don't think about hacking the money, or I will find you!"
"Don't worry, I know who you are!" The boss glanced at Ning Zhe and nodded angrily.
While the two were talking, a person in the hall wearing a hooded robe who was having dinner with others also heard the conversation between the two. After Ning Zhe left, he raised his head and looked at his back, if Ning Zhe was at this moment If I look back, I will recognize this person, it is the new security chief in their block, Su Fei.
Since then, there has been one less stubborn young man looking for his sister in the refugee area, and one more lunatic in the market town.
He wanders the streets every day, and he repeats only one sentence:
"Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?"?
