Data Wasteland

After a while, Chen Xing and others escorted Quik to the mayor's small castle. After waiting outside for a while, Xiao Wu led everyone into the study.

The mayor is playing the violin by the window, the tune is harsh and unpleasant. After more than ten minutes, the mayor finally ended his performance with the sentence "Ah, this is the sea".

Afterwards, Chen Xing told the mayor of the incident. The latter listened carefully, his face getting darker and darker, giving Chen Xing a bad feeling.

"Is he a citizen?" After hearing Chen Xing's narration, the mayor glanced at Quik and asked.

Chen Xing was not clear about the situation, and was about to ask Quik, but the other party said, "I voluntarily removed the black watch."

"If there is no black watch, it is a refugee, dragged out and chopped it." The mayor waved his hand and ordered.

Xiao Wu immediately took the guards, pressed Quik's shoulders one to the other, and walked outside.

Chen Xing was shocked. He didn't expect the mayor to kill as soon as he said, he didn't even mean to discuss it. Seeing that Quik was about to be executed, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Lord Mayor, look at this matter, is there any..."

"Needless to say, murder pays for life, not to mention he is just a refugee!" The mayor interrupted him and said in a deep voice, with a very firm attitude.

Chen Xing did not dare to persuade him any more, stepped aside, and quickly thought about the countermeasures.

Inadvertently, he changed history again. Originally, Quik was executed by the Maran royal family in dr2621, which is nine years later. But now, due to his intervention, he stepped into death early.

It is not difficult to infer that in the previous life, the simple-minded Wang Bo couldn't solve the case, and Quik ran away after killing someone. In this life, Chen Xing replaced Wang Bo as the captain of the third team and successfully captured Quik.

As a result, the legendary wilderness lone traveler, Red Wolf Quick, died in Orchid Town.

Such a result is unacceptable to him. He originally thought that the mayor would exile Quaker to the black death continent with severe radiation in accordance with the laws of the principality. Unexpectedly, the latter had already given up his citizenship.

He must not let Quik die here, especially in his own hands. Killing such a person will make him sleepless.

But how can I persuade the mayor to pardon Quirk?

First of all, he has to analyze the root cause of the mayor's anger?

Through the contact during this period of time, he felt that although the mayor Shad Sinclair was a bit mad, his heart was not bad and he would not kill people easily. On the other hand, the mayor is very profitable, whoever dares to touch his cake, he will kill anyone.

"Sinclair Mining" is named after the mayor's surname and must be his property. Quirk killed the captain of the mine team and naturally angered the mayor.

Second, what benefits can Quick bring to the mayor?

Loyal, brave, kind?

Obviously, between opponents and vested interests in mainstream society, these virtues are meaningless and worse.

Quirk sympathized with the refugees and voluntarily gave up his citizenship, while the mayor is a nobleman and a supporter of the existing regime. Between the two, there is an irreconcilable contradiction.

and many more……

Refugee?

Chen Xing's brain flashed, thinking of a countermeasure, and immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, our gathering place is about to be built soon."

"Very good." Hearing the news, the mayor showed a happy expression.

"But..." Chen Xing hesitated to speak.

"But what?" the mayor asked.

"Although the gathering place has been built, there are only three months left before winter. We have no time to find suitable refugee tribes to move in. But by next spring, the refugees will not have the pressure to survive, and they are definitely not willing to move. It's autumn." Chen Xing sighed.

"Hmm..." The mayor frowned, lost in thought. As Chen Xing said, if you miss this year, you will have to wait more than half a year.

"My lord mayor, his subordinates have an idea that can solve this problem perfectly, but I don't know if I should say it..." Chen Xing said hesitantly.

"It's okay, you said." The mayor said readily.

"That Quick, it is said that he has contacts with many refugee tribes, and the relationship is very close..." Chen Xing hinted.

"Quick, which Quick?" The mayor seemed confused.

"It's the one you dragged the guards out just now." Chen Xing said cautiously.

"Oh..." The mayor raised his head thoughtfully, then woke up, rushed out of the study, and shouted outside, "Xiao Wu, come back to me!"

Before long, Xiao Wu and a few guards pressed Quik and returned to the study.

"What are you doing!" The mayor blew his beard and stared at Xiao Wu, yelling, "Have you not seen it? This person is obviously innocent. There are scars all over his face, is it easy!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Mayor said yes." Xiao Wu echoed, and the guards behind him also looked embarrassed.

"I knew he was a good man at first glance, so let him go." The mayor made a straight face at the guards, then took Quik's hand and greeted him, "Come on, let's have a drink, and then take you to see. The sea..." While speaking, he looked out the window, "Does the sea know, it is turbulent, the waves are magnificent..."

So Quik survived. Of course, like Chen Xing, he would inevitably go to the small pond behind the small castle to watch the sea and listen to the mayor's boasting of the legendary stories of that year.

The mayor said that his true identity was actually a captain. Although the mayor said mysteriously, Chen Xing and Quik also showed expressions of approval. But in fact, they didn't think it was a secret. How big is the difference between the mayor and the captain?

The mayor also said that he had a very large ship, one hundred times bigger than the 10,000-ton ship, and it was very majestic. Chen Xing couldn't help but think of the picture of a one-million-ton ship sailing in the sea, which is simply unreal. Such a big ship is not scientific at all. But he still showed an expression of approval. Who wants the other party to be his boss? There is no alternative.

After tossing all night, Chen Xing brought people back to the underground water station tiredly. Quik seemed very energetic. He drank a night of wine and listened to the story for another night. He still had the energy and Aaron to visit the construction of the stronghold.

Within a few days, Quick left. He needs to go into the depths of the wilderness and contact the refugee tribes who are willing to migrate. As for character, the Lone Ranger does not need to doubt.

"Why are you so good to him?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked Chen Xing strangely after Quik left. In her impression, Chen Xing was the kind of bad guy who didn't get up early, so how could he save an irrelevant person for no reason.

"Probably..." Chen Xing thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "Fate."

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Yang Bailiu trembled all over, as if he had been cold.

"What's the matter, Ye Yang, you seem to misunderstand me a little bit." Chen Xing grinned and said with a smile.

"No, I'm just a little curious. Mr. Quick and your views are completely different, but you helped him and you are willing to pay some price for it." Ye Yang Bailiu looked at Chen Xing's eyes and asked seriously." Can you tell me why?"

"Actually..." Chen Xing put a smile away and said, "I don't quite understand either."

"But I know that some things in this world are right and some things are wrong..." he said slowly, "but sometimes, in order to survive, we have to make a choice, even if we know it is wrong. "

He paused and continued, "That's because our environment does not allow us to choose."

"However, we can't take mistakes as correct because of this."

"If it's just a matter of effort, or the price paid is small, I don't mind to help, for our inner voice."

"You said..." He nodded slightly and asked, "Really?"

Ye Yang Bailiu didn't answer, just lowered his head and meditated quietly. After a long time, she raised her head and stared at the man in front of her. There seemed to be something more in those surging eyes. Unclear, unclear.
