The Scavengers

The evening of February 10

"I thought about it, and I've been thinking about it. Then I convinced myself with two reasons."

"First, I have the ability but can't use it. What's the difference between not having the ability? It's the same if I use it less or use it secretly."

"Second, it's what you told me. You said that when a person's usable value is too high, it will attract the jealousy and greed of others, and even destroy him. But if this too high value exceeds the vast majority People's psychological estimation can bring benefits to the vast majority of people, so those who want to protect him and want to use him to protect him will greatly exceed those who want to hurt him."

There is another reason why Xiao Mo didn't say it, that is, he hopes to do more for others, for his country, and for the world, so that when he dies, he can at least say to himself "You used to live a worthwhile life" .

Xue Lihong was persuaded, but he was very upset, even though his dead face hadn't changed from usual, but Xiao Mo could tell that he was very upset.

And the reason for Xiaohong's displeasure... Cough, I really don't blame him, in broad daylight, in the wild, or in places where people may come anytime and anywhere, it is impossible for Xiaohong to succeed if he is killed, his lower limit It's not that low yet.

Xiao Hongqi, who failed to achieve her goal, ran away.

Xiao Mo fastened the belt that was half untied, arranged his clothes, and began to check the vehicles, picking out the ones with relatively low damage.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Cheng Zai came over.

Xiao Mo got out of the cab of an abandoned chariot, clapped his hands, "I'm checking these vehicles to see if they can be repaired."

"Hey? Can it be repaired? I just heard from the technician that the cars here are all badly broken."

"Not all of them." Xiao Mo said vaguely: "Some cars can be restarted just by changing the parts."

"That's great! Brother Xiao, you're amazing!" Cheng Zai saw with his own eyes how the dilapidated base car was finally restored by him and Xue Lihong, and he was full of confidence in Xiao Mo's car repairing ability.

Xiao Mo rubbed Cheng Zai's head casually, and got into another car.

Cheng Zai should have seen that his abilities were not limited to healing, but this kid never asked him.I don't know if it's because he has been working in the military communications department with a very high degree of secrecy, and has developed the habit of keeping secrets at all times and watching more, listening more, doing more and not asking too much.

"Brother Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, you enter the cockpit, I tell you to start it, you can start it and see."

"No key..."

"Use this." Xiao Mo threw out a key, this is the master key specially left by Xiaohong, it is said that it can open 99.9% of mechanical locks.

When Xue Lihong drove the base vehicle back, Xiao Mo was still working with Cheng Zai to repair the vehicle.

"Damn it! Is that the son of some big man from the base in H city back?" The first young man who saw the base car opened his mouth wide, his eyes almost popping out with envy and hatred.

"Ooh-oh!" More people discovered the car.

Many soldiers whistled.

Lei Bing also immediately abandoned Zhang Hua and jumped to a high place to look at the car, "Grandma's! Who drove this car? It's so fucking showing off, I really want to beat him up!"

The soldiers who followed Lei Bing yelled: "Captain, go grab it! Go grab it!"

"Steal you a ghost! Do you think you are a bandit?" Lei Bing scolded with a smile, but his heart was actually very excited.Men don't have such domineering and coquettish cars!

The speed of the car is not fast, but its huge body and luxurious color, as well as the pattern on the body that burns like flames, would blind a lot of people's eyes even before the troubled times, let alone this time?

Zhang Hua was also speculating about the identity of the owner of this car. He remembered that Lu Zhiguo's son was not very old, and his personality was not so arrogant.Then besides Lu Zhiguo's son, who else can drive such a car at the base in City H, and still be able to keep it?In addition, with such a large body, gasoline consumption alone is not enough.

Or which powerful mercenary team?Zhang Hua is more inclined to this guess.

Everyone thought that the car would drive into the city H base, but the car actually drove straight towards them.

The car was getting closer and closer, and many people who were busy stopped their work and looked at the behemoth that was so cool that it had no friends.

The condition of the ground is not very good, the asphalt road is not connected here, and the concrete ground has become potholed due to various reasons, and a section of it is still a dirt road.

But the car seems surprisingly easy to drive.

Seeing that the car was about to drive in front of them, it suddenly turned a corner and parked steadily in the Zhongshan base convoy, and it happened to be parked next to the medical car 120-6.

Lei Bing met Zhang Hua's questioning eyes and scratched his forehead, his own?Or parked in the wrong place?

Lei Bing jumped off the roof of the abandoned vehicle and walked quickly towards that vehicle.

Many people also went over to look, wanting to pay their respects to the owner of the car. By the way, it would be even better if they could touch the car again or take a close-up photo.Thanks to the abundant electricity in the underground base, many people can still use their mobile phones. In this unstable period, it is very important to have fun for yourself. Many people can't survive because they lack a little bit of fun for themselves. little fun.

The car door opened, Xue Lihong jumped out, and slammed the door shut.

All the onlookers: It turns out that they are really their own people!

Lei Bing: "...Say! Where did you steal it from?"

"Get lost." Xue Lihong brushed past him expressionlessly.

Lei Bingzhi, who rolled in the wrong direction, was completely fascinated by the base car, and he rushed to fumble here and there, wishing there was a pocket for space, and he would pack the car away with a snap.

"What brand is this car? Didn't you see the sign?" More people gathered around to look curiously.

"custom made?"

"This is an off-road RV, right? It's good, but it's so big, can it be driven back on the road?"

"Such a good car, you have to carry it back."

"I don't know! Look at the tires of this car. The chassis is so high. The tires...don't worry! The tires don't have any brand name, and the wheels seem to have mechanisms."

Just looking at these people can no longer satisfy these people. They were a little bit afraid of Xue Lihong's force value, but seeing Lei Bing being so intoxicated, finally some other people couldn't help stretching out their claws to the car.

"Thorn."

"what!"

Lei Bing and several people who touched the car body held their hands and jumped away at the same time.

"Is there electricity?"

Lei Bing didn't believe in evil, so he touched it with his hands.This time, the current was even stronger, and Lei Bing was shocked so much that his body trembled.

"What the hell!" Lei Bing, who had just recovered after a while, didn't dare to approach the car body again.

The others saw that this car was not easy to mess with, so they all kept their eyes on it from a distance, not daring to approach it any further.

Xue Lihong is not worried at all about damage to the vehicle, let alone someone being electrocuted to death. Although the artificial intelligence of that car is not very advanced, it is more than enough for self-protection. The information comes to him for him to judge.

Zhang Hua was much more stable than Lei Bing, he didn't go to watch the car, but walked over to Xue Lihong and asked, "Is that your car?"

"Yes." Xue Lihong also had some respect for Zhang Hua.

"A car driven by young people like you is cool! But where did you hide such a big car? Besides, it's not easy to drive all the way from Zhongshan City, right?"

"Just got it."

"Just got it? Is there a luxury car store near here? Or did you know in advance that there is this car nearby?" Zhang Hua didn't hide his curiosity. Luxury cars are nothing, but there are not many cars that can discharge.

Xue Lihong looked at Zhang Hua, "The reward is from the 07 organization."

Zhang Hua's eyes flashed, "Oh... so, can I visit the interior?"

"No."

Major General Zhang, who was rejected, was very sad, but everyone ran away, and he couldn't catch up and stalk him like a young man.Forget it, it's just a car, maybe it's more resistant to crashes and wear, it can't be possessed by Transformers, right?

Xiao Mo originally planned to only repair the interior when repairing the vehicle, so that he could keep a low profile.

But Xiaohong said: "Once your ability is exposed, you should keep a low profile! Since you want to help Zhang Hua, then you just help to the end. If you make a batch of new cars, others will not be able to guess that this is a supernatural ability. Let the people at the base in City H rack their brains to guess the origin of these vehicles, they will probably think it is the support of the Zhongshan base."

"Then should we talk to Lei Bing first?"

"No. Suffocate him."

"...can you be more childish?"

"Yes, I will turn back to five years old tonight for you to see?"

With Xue Lihong's children making trouble (helping), Xiao Mo's speed of repairing the vehicle was slightly accelerated, but in order to prevent people from immediately noticing the strangeness - Xiaohong said that there were spies from the base in H city wandering around them, of course Instead of just staring at them, the main purpose is to monitor Major General Zhang Hua and his batch of supplies.For this reason, he only repaired the interior of the vehicle, and he was going to repair the exterior before leaving for the mission the next day.

Cheng Zai looked at the tanks, chariots, and military trucks that were brand new on the inside and tattered on the outside. His expression had changed from shock at the beginning, to understanding and excitement in the middle, to numbness now.

Well, he thought that the treatment of his future boss meeting would be great, but he didn't know that what other people would do was not treatment at all!

Cheng Zai suddenly became sad. He had a mother who mutated into an angel, and he had a headache on how to protect her.Now that there is another boss with such awesome abilities, will he cause myocardial infarction because of too much worry in the future?But if he really had a heart attack, with the boss around, he should be able to save him, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Zai was filled with hope and boundless optimism for the future in an instant.

When Cheng Zai was thinking wildly, someone came and asked them to have dinner, but Xiao Mo said he needed to repair the car and didn't go.

Soon Major General Zhang came to visit with food in person. He had no hope of repairing the vehicle, but he could appreciate Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong's kindness and was deeply grateful.

Xiao Mo didn't tell him the details, he just said that he should take a look and planned to surprise him tomorrow.

Zhang Hua originally wanted to see the progress of the car repair, but he was afraid that Xiao Mo and the others would make things difficult for them if they really cared about it, so he left a considerable amount of dinner and chatted for a while before leaving.

Lei Bing was responsible for the security of the entire temporary base, so he didn't come over.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang came after dinner. This guy seemed to be pissed off at the base, and he dragged Cheng Zai to mutter for a long time.

Cheng Zai went to look for Xue Lihong again, together with Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang, the three got together to discuss something, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang finally left with a smile on his face.

At 09:30 in the evening, under Xue Lihong's forcible stop, Xiao Mo had no choice but to announce the suspension of the restoration work. In fact, he was at his peak.

Cheng Zai counted the vehicles repaired by Xiao Mo, including four tanks, three tanks with weapons, and eight military trucks.

There are such numbers because he said that the composition of tanks and chariots is relatively complicated, and it will take time to restore them all, while trucks are technically the simplest.

This number is not many, but if you just go to collect supplies in a small town, it is no problem to kill one of them to refuse.It just so happened that Major General Zhang Hua's material reserves were mostly ammunition, and what was lacking were chariots for firing ammunition.

Xiao Mo absorbed an energy crystal on the spot, and got up with Xiao Hong's support: "Fortunately, we have enough energy crystals, otherwise we might not be able to repair so many vehicles this time."

They were rewarded with a hundred secondary energy crystals for recovering the breeder Ni Wei, and they are temporarily in the rich stage.

However, he only had to restore fifteen cars, and he had consumed three energy crystals. If he counted gains and losses, he would definitely be at a loss.

Xue Lihong does not have the dedication spirit of Xiao Mo, "Fifteen cars, half of the ammunition for Zhang Hua, do you think he will agree? I think he will."

"Hey! Major General Zhang is in a difficult situation..."

"With these chariots, it is enough for him to break through the predicament."

"Half ammunition is still too much." Xiao Mo disagreed.

Cheng Zai couldn't say anything, so he could only listen silently.

Xue Lihong thought about it for two seconds, "Then he will need one-third of the ammunition and one-third of the stored food."

Xiao Mo and Cheng Zai: This is too much, okay?

But both of them were cowards, and they didn't dare to compete for profits for outsiders and Comrade Xiaohong, who was obviously not in a happy mood, so they could only think of subsidizing Major General Zhang a little in other places.

When Xiao Mo and the others returned, the temporary base was already quiet.

Most survivors slept in military tents, while soldiers mostly slept in the open air wrapped in sleeping bags.

Xiao Mo went to the medical vehicle first, and he hadn't visited Lao Wu's family of three until now, one was to give the three members time to digest, and the other was because he was afraid of Lao Wu's embarrassment.

Old Wu hadn't woken up yet, Yuan Yuan stood beside him with her forehead propped up, her whole body was full of fatigue, and she still felt a little relaxed.

Seeing Xiao Mo coming in, Yuan Yuan's face immediately burst into a complex expression of surprise and gratitude. She wanted to stand up, but she sat back down because of numbness in her legs.

"Xiao Xiao! Is it you... Thank you! Thank you!" Yuan Yuan couldn't help crying.

"Hush." ​​Xiao Mo squatted down in front of Yuan Yuan, "Sister-in-law, don't say anything, these two days you stayed in the car with Xiao Yuan, and when people asked you, you just said that Old Wu is gone. Do you understand?"

Yuan Yuan nodded desperately, "I understand! Xiao Li has already explained to me. Old Wu is dead, and he has given his life back to his mother. Now sleeping here... woo!"

Seeing the woman crying, Xiao Mo panicked, and hurriedly said: "Don't forget to tell Xiao Yuan, children are easy to be coaxed."

"I know, I will tell him to take care of him. But... that child was stimulated too hard, and now he ignores me when I talk to him." Yuan Yuan's face was worried about her son again.

Xiao Mo comforted her a few more words and got out of the car.

Outside the car, Lin Xiaofei, Wu Xiaoyuan and health guard Li Wei were sitting together. They were one of the few people who had not slept except for the night watch.These people are either full of anxiety about the future, or just can't sleep because of their worries.

Lin Xiaofei was dozing off, but he kept on trying to take care of Wu Xiaoyuan.

Xiao Mo felt sorry for him and wanted to hug him, but Xue Lihong picked up the child first and stuffed it into Cheng Zai's arms.

Cheng Zai obediently hugged the child well.

Lin Xiaofei saw that it was Xiao Mo, and heard him praise that today's task was done well, so he closed his eyes contentedly, and started snoring after a while.

During this period, Wu Xiaoyuan didn't even raise his head. He didn't seem to realize that someone came to see them, and he didn't realize that his little friend had left.

Xiao Mo wanted to touch Xiao Yuan's head, but he dodged it.

Xue Lihong grabbed Xiao Mo's hand.

Xiao Mo didn't understand what it meant, so he let him hold him, walked around to Li Wei, and asked in a low voice, "How's the situation? This child...?"

Li Wei glanced at Wu Xiaoyuan, and lowered his voice: "It's okay, but this child has been hit hard, and he hasn't even said a word, and he refuses to get close to his father, and he doesn't even respond to his mother calling him. .”

Xiao Mo didn't understand children's psychology, so he could only apologize to Li Wei and said: "Please watch over for me, that child... I don't know if he realizes that he killed someone, but he must have listened to those comments. When I arrived, I saw the scene of his father committing suicide with my own eyes. I was afraid that he would get into a dead end. His mother may not care about him now, so please help remind me. Thank you!"

"Thank you? Little things. The child's mother has been coaxing the child, but sometimes it's okay if the child doesn't coax, the more coaxing the worse, you think they don't understand anything, but their thinking is different from adults."

Xiao Mo chatted with Li Wei again to see if it was getting late, "Go back to rest early, if Xiao Yuan's condition continues to be bad, tell me, I see if it would be better to separate him from his parents for a while .”

"Okay, I think it's better to separate for a while, the child is not too calm now."

Xiao Mo felt that Xue Lihong had objections, and squeezed his hand back.As the saying goes, to save people to the end, if Lao Wu's family has nothing to do with him, he can let go after saving people, but Lao Wu and his family have known each other for so many years, and everyone has a good relationship with each other. At this time, it is better to let go Don't care about it from the beginning.Xiao Yuan called him uncle for several years, how could he turn a blind eye to the child's problems?

Xiao Mo wanted to take Wu Xiaoyuan back to the base car to rest, but Li Wei said that he had finally established a little relationship of trust with the child, and wanted to try again, to see if he could pull the child out of the horns.

Xiao Mo felt that Li Wei's professional knowledge was more reliable than his, and Wu Xiaoyuan seemed to be closer to Li Wei at this time, so he acquiesced to keep the child.

Go back to the base car and open the door.

Cheng Zai went up with the child in his arms. It was the first time for him to enter the interior of the car. When he entered, he bent over specially, fearing that there would not be enough space inside.

result……!

"You turned the inside into a caravan?" Cheng Zai thought it was not bad, but he looked at the inside of the car and felt that something was wrong.

Look up, the roof is so high.Xue Ge stood up straight and still had a few tens of centimeters of space.

Xiao Mo touched his nose and signaled Cheng Zai to follow him.

Passing through the not narrow passage, at least Cheng Zai felt that it was not cramped at all when he was holding a child in his arms, and came to two doors.

Xiao Mo pointed to the left, "This is the warehouse, and all our supplies are stored here."

Then point to the right, "This is everyone's living room, go in and find a room you like."

Cheng Zai didn't understand, and said politely: "No need, Brother Xiao, you and Brother Xue live in the back, and I can make do in the front living room. I think the sofa bed is quite thick, and sleeping on it is much more comfortable than the tent outside."

Xiao Mo didn't know how to explain it to him, so he could only push open the door on the right hand, "Go in if I let you in, there are enough rooms."

Cheng Zai subconsciously calculated the interior space of the vehicle based on the size of the vehicle he saw, thinking that there is already a warehouse at the rear, so how many rooms can there be?

Seeing that he was not moving, Xiao Mo brushed past him and walked in directly.

The sensor light inside is on.

Cheng Zai opened his mouth suddenly, stared blankly at the door and froze.

Xue Lihong gently pushed him from behind, "Don't get in the way, go in and choose a room."

Cheng Zai walked into the spacious passage with Xiaofei in his arms.

There are many doors on both sides of the passage, which looks like the corridor of the housing department of the hotel, except that the material of the door does not look like wood.

Xiao Mo, who was walking in the front, stopped, and pointed to the end with a subtle expression, "Our room is at the innermost, you can choose other rooms at will, after confirming, enter your fingerprints, and only you will be able to enter in the future."

Xue Lihong opened a door casually.

Cheng Zai then turned his head and looked into the door.

After that, the man was stunned for ten seconds.

Xue Lihong got a little impatient for waiting.

"Hehe, I must have not woken up, or I have already fallen asleep." Cheng Zai muttered to himself, if he was not still holding the child, he really wanted to pat his face.

Xue Lihong pushed Cheng Zai into the room with a little force, then stripped Lin Xiaofei from his arms, hugged him to the bed, took off his shoes, socks and underwear and stuffed them under the quilt.

"Xiao Fei sleeps with you temporarily tonight, lest he wake up in the middle of the night and find no one to be afraid of. Tomorrow, either you choose the room again, or he chooses the room again."

Cheng Zai suddenly let out a cry of pain, and he twisted his thigh hard.

Standing at the door and listening to this voice, Xiao Mo felt pain for him, but he could understand Cheng Zai's mood, because when he first came in, his performance was not much better than Cheng Zai's.

Finally, Cheng Zai's eyes were no longer dreamily dazed, and he began to wander around the room.

"My God, such a big room, bigger than my room at home, with a toilet and a bathroom? I'm dreaming! I must be dreaming!" Cheng Zai rushed to the edge of the room, opened the curtains in a snap, and found There is another door, open it.

"Aww! The balcony! It turned out to be a balcony!" However, there was nothing outside the fully enclosed balcony, so he could only put sundries and dry clothes for him.

Cheng Zai rushed back again in a gust of wind, and looked around the room.

In fact, there are very few configurations in the room, and the room looks very empty, but it is even more terrifying because of the empty space. This is the interior of a car!

Cheng Zai finally rushed to Xue Lihong, with a look of begging for explanation.

Xue Lihong slapped him on the face, "It's getting late, I'll talk about it later, get the hell out of here and go to bed first!"
