The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 587 The Day of the Cycle (25)

Sunlight pouring in from a high window into the interior of a low house at sunset is dissipating the last of its heat.

Those dim lights danced along with the fine dust particles in the air.

In the house, on the old floor at the entrance to the underground stairs, a row of children who looked dirty were sitting.

There are boys and girls among them, and the oldest is no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

It's time for the children to have dinner, and they don't care about the dust in the cans that fall silently into their hands.

Unlike the children who could be dismissed only with instant cans, there were five other grown men in the basement, sitting at an old table.

While drinking broth and nibbling on the hard bread in their hands, they discussed what happened during the day.

Among the five people, the tall man who was the eldest brother bit the bread in his hand, and then asked aloud, "What do you think of the sudden sound of sirens today near noon?"

Tuku, who was sitting opposite him, immediately replied without thinking, "It must be someone from the police station who came to make a temporary inspection!"

"If they really received a report and wanted to come here to arrest us, then the car must have driven directly onto our territory..."

"No," Ah San who was sitting diagonally across from the Tuku took over the conversation, "Those people in the police station might have wanted to find our hiding place.

The other four people at the dinner table all heard the irony in Asan's words, and they immediately burst out laughing.

But to be honest, the location of the underground stronghold they chose to station now is indeed very hidden.

After experiencing the "big sweep" a few years ago, this neighborhood was indeed completely deserted for several months.

But after that, some small forces secretly returned here and held various secret gatherings and activities privately.

But as long as they can enter this block with complex terrain conditions, they can successfully throw off the pursuers behind them.

After everyone laughed for a while, Ah Si, who is a brother to Ah San, suddenly asked, "Big brother, third brother, tell me, are the people from the police station going to the one in the inner district today?" The guy is here?"

The two people named by Ah Si temporarily put down the bread in their respective hands upon hearing the sound.

They knew who the "group of people in the inner district" Ah Si was referring to.

That group of people came here earlier than them, and I heard that those people occupied the best lot in the inner block as soon as they came.

Not only did these people act mysteriously, but the other party held far more guns than the five of them.

With the big guys in their hands, these people managed to gain a firm foothold in the inner zone.

In fact, in this old neighborhood, all the various factions that are active today are very clear about the scope of activities of each faction, and everyone lives a life that does not interfere with each other.

If the group of people who came from the police station today were really aimed at the group of strong men in the inner area, then the days here will not be so peaceful in the future.

At the dinner table, everyone suddenly fell into silence.

In the end, it was the tall man who was the eldest brother who spoke.

"Let's have dinner first, or the broth will be cold."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and continued, "I'll check with Mr. Bai later on."

When the other four heard this, they stopped talking and lowered their heads to speed up their eating.

Because they all knew very well that the five of them were able to survive and gain a foothold in this neighborhood because of Mr. Bai.

Although the elder brother in front of him has never told them who this Mr. Bai is and how the two of them met, but in the hearts of the other four people, they believe that their elder brother is always right.

After all, they were true brothers who had carried guns together and survived on a large overseas battlefield.

As for the five former soldiers, why they are now reduced to doing such illegal business in a foreign country after the war, this is another long and tortuous story.

In less than 5 minutes, all five people at the table finished the bread in their hands and drank the broth in their bowls.

When Tuku among the five started to clean up the dishes and Ah San and Ah Si went to check and maintain the firearms, the other two walked up the old-fashioned wooden stairs from the basement to the ground floor.

Near the stairwell, the children who were still eating canned food and playing with each other, when they heard the creaking sound of the wooden planks ahead, they immediately huddled together very well, leaning against the wall behind them and pretending to be motionless.

But the children soon discovered that the creaking sound of the wooden boards did not seem to stop after the two uncles in front of them had walked up the stairs.

At this time, the tall man who also heard the sound of the wooden planks instantly turned his face to the double-layered wooden door on his right.

At this moment, when he was staring at the wooden door, the murderous look in his eyes did not look like an ordinary gangster at all.

When he found someone outside, he immediately ordered the people behind him, "Boy, there's someone outside. Take the children to the basement first."

After he said this, the group of children who were facing the tall man also found that the strange sound of wood was coming from the door on their left.

Just as the children were taken to the basement in an emergency, Ah San and Ah Si ran to the ground floor with guns in their hands.

Before they could fully step out of the stairs, a wooden door located above and to their right suddenly made a "rumbling" sound.

With a muffled "bang", the solid wooden door fell down under the guarded and shocked eyes of the tall man.

And when the wooden door fell to the ground, a black shadow pulled into a slender shape by Twilight instantly caught the eyes of everyone present.
