The Scavengers

November 10th Progression 29

The road bandits thought that hiding behind the old and weak would be all right, but they forgot that since the car can be raised, it can naturally shoot from a high place, especially if it can lock the target.

When five or six-year-old children can play with them, their fate is already doomed.

All the road bandits were brought down, some fell to the ground and twitched, and some seemed lifeless.

When the road bandits fell, all the elderly women walking in front were frightened. Many people stopped and were at a loss, and several old men and women screamed and rushed towards the road bandits who fell to the ground.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong didn't get off the car immediately, they were waiting for Lei Bing to bring people back.

As soon as Lei Bing heard that all the gold-eaters had been wiped out, and the rest were still six kilometers away, he immediately turned the convoy around.

In a blink of an eye, the military convoy returned.

Lei Bing jumped out of the car, and waved to Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong who came down from the base car, "You guys are all right, it's all done? Killed?"

Xiao Mo shrugged, "No, I'm not sure if there are any people who shouldn't be killed. Anyway, there are too many of you, so I'll hand it over to you for trial."

Lei Bing made a broken expression, "Brother! Boss! Why are you like this? How easy it is to kill them all? You still leave this kind of scum for my trial? We are the People's Army, not the People's Police."

Xiao Mo smiled, "I don't like killing people."

Lei Bing's face twitched, and he suddenly felt that the amiable Boss Xiao had become a little bit hateful?Could it be that he and Xue were too close together, causing the evil elements to transfer?

Lei Bing had no choice but to wave his hands, "Boys, tie up those bandits! No rope? Use their belts! Do you still need me to teach you? Anyone who dares to resist will be shot dead!"

"No! Officer, you can't arrest people randomly! My son didn't do anything bad! We were just forced to get something to eat!" Seeing the soldiers walking towards the fallen road bandits, several women Yelling and rushing towards them, most of them are aunts and old ladies over fifty.

Xuelihong raised his hand, and a row of nails shot out.Those relatives of the road bandits were all frightened and stupid. Those who rushed over couldn't catch up, and some of them just sat on their buttocks.

"You bloody killers! Why are you so bad! My poor child, you died so badly! You villains deserve a good death!" There was also an old man sitting on the ground hugging a road bandit who didn't know what to do. cry.

Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat, thinking he really killed someone.They used stun guns because they were afraid of accidentally killing some not so bad people.Although the current released is high, it will only cause people to be unconscious and incapacitated, unless the culprit has a bad heart or a pacemaker.

Xue Lihong motioned him to look at those old and weak people who were standing frozen in place, Xiao Mo didn't need to observe carefully, he could see the disdain and hatred in the eyes of those people, and even some old and weak looked at those bandit relatives with even more hatred.

A small child threw away the woman holding his hand, and ran towards Lei Bing and other soldiers, shouting as he ran, "Uncle Da Bing, help! Help my sister, help my mother!"

The woman tried to catch the child, but failed.With a look of anxiety on her face, she stretched her hands into her arms.

"puff!"

"Ah!" The woman screamed suddenly.

A nail was shot into the back of the woman's hand.

A soldier walked up to her and drew a gun from her waist.

As soon as the child ran over, other children also wanted to run, but they were either caught by a woman or an old man, or they stopped after running two steps.

These kids are scared.

And those old and weak who had hatred for the road bandits saw Lei Bing and the others, although their eyes burst into surprise, but no one dared to move towards Lei Bing and the others, not even shouting a word.

There were so many people, but only that little kid had the courage to rush out.

Xue Lihong turned her eyes and noticed Lao Hou who was hiding in the crowd.

Lao Hou looked at them with resentment and hatred in his eyes, but when Xue Lihong's eyes swept over him, he quickly lowered his head again.

Xue Lihong followed the gaze he had just looked at the group of road bandits who fell to the ground, and suddenly walked towards one of them.

Xiao Mo held a nail gun and followed behind him on guard.The previous four-month mission experience told him: Never underestimate anyone who is old, weak, sick, or disabled, even if they look like they are going to die soon.

Among these old and weak, there are victims of coercion, but obviously there are also those who are close to the road bandits. They must be careful if they don't want to capsize in the gutter.

According to Xiaohong's opinion, he would rather electrify all these people and hand them over to Lei Bing for disposal.Xiao Mo rejected Xiaohong's proposal considering the old and weak's ability to resist electricity.

Xue Lihong walked up to a road bandit, first kicked away the gun in his hand, then turned to tell Lei Bing, "This is their leader."

Lei Bing was about to pass.

The bandit leader opened his mouth, "Don't kill me, my ability is..."

Xue Lihong suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Pfft!" A nail went straight into the forehead of the road bandit leader.

"No—!" Lao Hou yelled, and pulled out the gun hidden in his waist, but instead of shooting at Xue Lihong, he grabbed a little girl next to him and pointed the gun at her forehead.

"Let me go, or I will kill..."

"puff!"

No one noticed when Xiao Mo raised his arm. Everyone's eyes were attracted by Xue Lihong. Even Lei Bing was startled. One step faster.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a long time after firing that shot.He looked down at his hands, and seemed to wonder why his hands suddenly became so fast.No, it's not that he was quick, but that he didn't hesitate to kill a person.

Xiao Mo was suddenly a little scared of himself. In that chaotic memory, what happened to those fragments that he didn't remember? Why did he sense danger and shoot so fast?You see, even Lei Bing, a special soldier who has participated in many actual combats, can't react as well as him.

The most frightening thing was that after killing someone this time, even though he killed an old villain, he didn't feel any discomfort, whether it was psychological or physical.

"Okay, Boss Xiao, I want it!" Lei Bing slapped Xiao Mo on the back.

Xiao Mo grinned.

Others were not familiar with Xiao Mo, so seeing him looking down at the nail gun in his hand, they thought it was a kind of silent showing off and threat.The remaining relatives of the bandits or those with other purposes dared not move, and could only watch the soldiers tie up all the bandits who were still alive.

The way the soldiers tied people with belts was very skillful and wicked. They tied the trousers of these people to their hands, and if the people struggled a little bit, their trousers would fall off the belt.And this has also become the best warning, whoever wants to escape and do tricks is clear at a glance.

At first Xiao Mo didn't understand why Xue Lihong went out of his way to kill the leader of the road bandit, but after he killed the old Hou, he found that the old and the weak who didn't dare to speak all ran over in a swarm, and some begged for help. Lei Bing and the others rescued people, and some relatives of some bandits counted their crimes.

Xiao Mo finally spelled out the general situation here amidst all these crying and complaining.

It turned out that most of these people were employees and family members of the steel factory, and they were a group of people who hadn't had time to escape.

When the catastrophe happened—specifically, it refers to several earthquakes around the world, and it was also the big earthquake that Xiao Mo and the others experienced in Zhongshan City at the beginning. Disasters already existed around them.

After the earthquake, some people in the steel mill fled, some died in various accidents, and some stayed.

Among the people left behind was a father and son surnamed Hou. The father was an old gambler and a pervert. He worked as a small supervisor in the personnel department of the steel factory. Although he was reported many times in the factory, he still stayed in the steel factory.This person also knew that he was annoying, and he usually only took advantage of the female employees with words and hands, but he didn't dare to do anything.

Laohou's wife had long been pissed off by the father and son, and the remaining son, Xiaohou, didn't learn well. He was usually a piece of rotten moss that couldn't be shoveled off in the steel factory workers' area.Later, he also learned to lend usury, and found a group of local ruffians to lend money and collect debts everywhere.

Fortunately, the father and son were lucky, they only suffered a little injury in the catastrophe, and Xiao Hou was lucky to have supernatural powers.

"What is his ability?" Xiao Mo recalled carefully, as if he didn't see the bandit leader using his ability to attack or defend.

"It's similar to Shennong's ability to taste herbs. He can taste a plant and know whether the plant is edible, whether it is poisonous, and even knows what special effects it has."

Xue Lihong thought, the bandit leader dared to be so confident when he saw the small army, probably because he knew that his supernatural ability was very useful.Indeed, with such abilities, no matter how many evil things he does, the military or the government will not let him die if they want to use his abilities, and maybe they will give him a good life according to his requirements.

"Wow, this ability is good!" Lei Bing sounded very envious, he lacked such people in his team, but unfortunately Xue Lihong killed him with a nail, "The ability is pretty good, but it's a pity that he didn't go on the right path. "He regrets the ability, not the scum.

Those coerced victims have told them that Laohou and his son used Xiaohou's ability to gather a group of people and got them a batch of police pistols, and they used poison to kill the original policemen.

Later, the gold-eaters appeared, and Xiaohou used his ability to find something that made the gold-eaters unable to detect the small metal in their hands, which made Xiaohou's position in the steel factory more stable.

After the Hou family and his son discovered that the gold-eating insects could be used, they were unwilling to leave this treasured land, so they led people to follow the gold-eating insects to rob the refugees who passed through this area.

"A lot of people here were robbed by passing by. Many men were killed, and only those who could be controlled and women and children were left. They separated women and children, and gave the children to different people every time they came out to work. Those animals threatened us, if we dare to run away and dare to say a word, our family members who stay in the steel factory will not have good fruit to eat!" A mother in her 30s said to them while wiping tears .

Another old man also cried and said to Lei Bing: "Comrade officer, you must be the master for us! Those beasts have ruined so many girls, especially that old Hou, who also preyed on children under ten years old. They are not people! More than half of those who came out to rob today are not good people, and they all deserve to die! You should catch them and shoot them!"

Lei Bing nodded heavily, "Don't worry, we won't let anyone who is guilty be spared."

Xue Lihong has already started arresting people and interrogating the thing that shields the gold-eating bugs from sensing metal. All the people who were tortured said that only Lao Hou, his father and son and a few of their confidants knew about it, and no one else knew about it.

Lei Bing looked at the corpses of the father and son, and blew, "Why are you two so fast? It's good to have a rare ability, and it's good to control him."

Xue Lihong, "Well, next time I will first ask about the other party's abilities before killing them."

Lei Bing looked at him, when did this person learn such a lesson?

Xue Lihong returned to normal after the next sentence, "Didn't you find out? This father and son are not dead, these people dare not say or do anything. Do you want to stay here and dawdle with them?"

Of course Lei Bing didn't want to.

The road bandits with Xue Lihong's fingers tied up said, "Since you can't find anything from these people, let's try and execute them on the spot. It's troublesome to bring so many people."

Lei Bing understood in seconds, found a stone and stood on it, and asked the soldiers to drag a road bandit casually, and asked the coerced old and weak: "Have you seen this man? What have these people done, should they be killed?" , You know best. Special treatment in special times, starting now, I ask a person whether he should be killed, you vote with a show of hands, and if more than half of them are over, you will be executed. This is your chance for revenge, so don't let it go."

The road bandit who was dragged out was about to pee in fright, and desperately shouted: "I will change! I won't dare again! Don't kill me!"

Lei Bing ignored him, faced those old and weak, and asked loudly: "Okay, tell me now, should this person be killed?"

Almost [-]% of the old and weak raised their hands, many of them even spat at the bandit, and some wanted to rush up and kick him a few times.

Lei Bing raised his chin to a soldier.

The soldier came over and shot the road bandit in the forehead with a gun.

After the gunshots, the road bandit fell down.

The venue was silent, and then many road bandits screamed, and finally someone shouted: "I know what that thing is! I know!"

As soon as the man yelled, the others followed suit, saying they knew what it was.

Lei Bing winked at Xue Lihong, and the two took the people who claimed to know the inside story to the side and questioned them one by one, and then checked their answers together.

"Which one do you think it is?" Lei Bing looked at a bunch of various answers and felt a headache.

Xue Lihong's eyes flicked slowly over the small notebook, and finally stopped on something called green oil.

Xiao Mo had already collected his mood, and asked the survivors: "How many people are there at the steel factory? How many people have weapons? How many have attack abilities? Are there any areas and things that the Hou family and his son are particularly concerned about?" ?”

After collecting these data to Xue Lihong, Xue Lihong quickly made a decision: "The trial continues. These people don't need to stay."

Lei Bing saw that the young man seemed very confident, and he didn't want to let those scumbags waste their strength and be disgusting, so he continued the trial just now.

This kind of trial is very rough, without even asking the reason, but in the case of the victim personally testifying, the error rate is very low, and the best advantage is that the processing speed is fast.

After these road bandits are dealt with, only a few are left alive.Lei Bing looked at the relatives of the bandits who were as frightened as quails, and simply brought them up for trial.

This time there were fewer people left.The relatives of these road bandits are even more hateful than road bandits to some extent.

They will deprive others of the food they already have, push all the harder and more tiring work to other coerced people, and will be jealous of those beautiful girls.

Some of the old people even asked their sons to give this daughter-in-law to someone else to spoil because the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, or because they didn't like the daughter-in-law before, and then re-selected other women.

There are also husbands or boyfriends who belong to road bandits. While helping their husbands to spoil other girls, they are jealous of those girls and cruelly torture them.

There are also some old men who are even more disrespectful for their old age, relying on their sons or daughters to have a little power, and start doing messy and immoral things.

None of the sons and daughters of the road bandits came, and they were protected in the center of the steel factory workers' area.These children don't need to work, don't need to be bait, and still live a life similar to little emperors and little princesses every day.

After Lei Bing heard these cries, his expression didn't change. After the catastrophe, he had seen many perverted and more disgusting survivor bases.The more difficult and poor the place, the more perverted it is!

Xiao Mo didn't want to enter this base anymore.

Xue Lihong walked around to him, gently holding his hand.

Xiao Mo whispered: "Don't let Cheng Zai and the others get out of the car."

Xue Lihong doesn't care, "You still see too little. The situation in this small base is pretty good, at least they have enough food, and there is no great threat to their lives. Gold-eating bugs eat metal and not human flesh. As long as humans have a bite Food, the situation will not be extreme."

"I just think..."

"Human nature collapsed too quickly?" Xue Lihong seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were dark. "Where does human nature come from? It's not born, but implanted. Try it in this world. There is no law, no police, no army, no various rules and regulations and punishment mechanisms, you see what will happen to human beings. When the acquired constraints disappear, the real human nature, no, it should be said that the animal nature of human beings will burst out.”

Xiao Mo had to admit that Xue Lihong was right.

Xue Lihong's eyes were even darker, "But human beings have IQ and can think, they can play much more tricks than wild beasts, wild beasts will only bite you, at most tease and tease you, chasing you until you are exhausted. Eat you in one bite, but humans..."

Xiao Mo suddenly clenched Xue Lihong's hand: "You are also human."

Xue Lihong paused, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Yes, I'm human too." He said these words very slowly.

Your Majesty the System: "A bastard in human skin."

Xiao Mo: Boss, stop popping up to find your presence, okay?

With Lei Bing and his soldiers around, Xiao Mo handed over all the handling of the survivors to them.

He and Xue Lihong concentrated on finding something that could shield the gold-eating insects, and killed the remaining gold-eating insects and female insects at the same time, and promised Lei Bing that if they found something, they would confront Lei Bing. half point.

Lei Bing already had a lot of experience in appeasing and rescuing survivors, and they were naturally more willing to face road bandits with guns than gold eaters who would eat guns and cars.

This is a very small base.

Because of the presence of gold-eating insects, none of the original houses here can be lived in. Even if they look intact, no one dares to live in them.

As soon as Xiao Mo and the others entered the base, they saw many people with ropes tied to their bodies. These people were tied around their necks by ropes like ancient slaves, working together in a series.

Some of them are tearing down walls, and some are building walls.

All the houses in this small base are only two or three storeys high. Due to the lack of manpower, only five houses have been built in the base, and the others live in tents made of plastic sheets.

"Captain! Be careful!" a soldier suddenly shouted.

Lei Bing, who was talking to the survivors, jumped out with all his strength.

Several wolfhounds rushed towards him silently.

Lei Bing rolled over, and flames blasted out.

"Woohoo!" A wolfhound was on fire, barking shrill like a wolf.

The other soldiers also reacted, and immediately raised their guns and shot these wolf dogs.

The wolfhounds died quickly, and Lei Bing was so angry that he turned to look for the person who ordered the wolfhounds. These wolfhounds couldn't have jumped out for no reason, and there must be someone commanding them.

Xue Lihong, who hadn't parted with them, picked up a person from behind a wall and threw him at Lei Bing's feet, "Sneaker. When he was talking to the dog, I wanted to kill him with a knife, but you said you need to figure it out first." The other party has a supernatural power, so I just waited."

After finishing speaking, the man pointed at the man lying on the ground, "Well, it's confirmed now, his ability is to command these dead dogs."

Lei Bing: "..."

Before the Lei Bing broke out, Xiao Mo quickly dragged the maddened Hong away.

A little girl quietly followed Xiao Mo.

Xue Lihong poked him.

Xiao Mo turned his head and stopped.

The girl timidly said, "Uncle, are you looking for green oil?"

Xiao Mo saw that the little girl looked familiar, Xue Lihong whispered in his ear: "It's the child who was kidnapped by that old man just now."

Xiao Mo understood what he said, and squatted down facing the little girl, "Yes, I'm looking for something. Little sister, can the green oil you mentioned be applied to metal?"

The little girl nodded hesitantly, "I saw they used green oil to paint the guns."

"Then do you know where those green oils are kept?"

The little girl looked a little scared, "I know. Grandpa Hou told me that if I was disobedient and kept crying, he would throw me in there. Grandpa Hou said that it was a nest of bugs, and that those bugs could bite the entire building." When it collapses, disobedient children will be thrown inside to be eaten by bugs."

With a little girl leading the way, the two quickly found the place where the green oil was stored, and by the way they also found the gold-eating bug's nest.

During this period, the base vehicle has been following them in an invisible state.

When the little girl heard the sound of branches being broken from behind, she couldn't help but look back.

Xiao Mo comforted her and told her not to be afraid.

This lair is the warehouse of the steel factory. A pile of high piles of refined steel has been bitten into a big hole from top to bottom. It looks deep from above, and it can really scare children.

The little girl stood in the warehouse trembling with fright.

Xiao Mo couldn't bear to see her like this, "Go outside and wait for us, we'll come out right away."

The little girl grabbed the hem of Xiao Mo's clothes and raised her head, "Uncle, I'm scared."

Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong in embarrassment, Xue Lihong thought for a while: "Either you take her out and wait, I'm fine by myself."

Xiao Mo looked at the huge warehouse with all the lights out, feeling a little worried.

Xue Lihong pinched his face, waved the small instrument in her hand: "Don't worry, there are only bugs down here, no one." Then she turned around and jumped into the cave.

Xiao Mo had no choice but to take the little girl out to wait.

The little girl looked at the warehouse door, bit her lip, slowly let go of her hand, and said timidly: "Uncle, there is one more thing..."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Mo looked down at her.

The little girl didn't seem to know what to say, her expression looked even more terrified than before, "Uncle, I'm sorry, there are not only bugs inside, but also an invisible monster."

Xiao Mo's face changed, and at this moment he heard a strange cry from the warehouse.

Seeing that Xiao Mo was about to rush into the warehouse, the little girl yelled in fear: "Uncle!"

Xiao Mo had no choice but to use the communicator to say to Cheng Zai: "Come down and take this little sister to the car first, we will come out right away. Be careful."

Xiao Mo ran into the warehouse again, he circled around without seeing any monsters, approached the cave cautiously, and called Xue Lihong.

Xuelihong echoed.Xiao Mo felt relieved, and told about an invisible monster in the warehouse.

Xue Lihong said that he would come out immediately and asked him to pay attention to defense outside.

With Xue Lihong's big killer, the remaining gold-eating bugs in the nest can only become their trophies.

When Xue Lihong jumped out, she dragged a gold-eating female about the thickness of a human thigh.

He asked Xiao Mo to recover the female worms in exchange for energy crystals, and he collected the shells of the child worms below, and put them all in his backpack.His majesty the system refused to recover the remaining worm carcasses.

"The gold-eating bugs here are evolving very quickly, and their shells are changing in color and increasing in hardness." Xue Lihong burrowed into the cave again.

"What are you looking for?" Xiao Mo asked standing at the entrance of the cave, holding a special pistol that could shoot chemical bombs.There were also a few gold-eating bugs wandering outside, and the invisible monster made him extremely nervous.

Xue Lihong's voice came faintly: "Eggs."

Xiao Mo was not interested in the eggs, "Have you seen the green oil?"

After a while, Xue Lihong crawled out, "There are insect eggs, but no green oil."

"Huh?" Xiao Mo was surprised, "But that little girl clearly said..."

"What about the girl?" Xue Lihong asked suddenly.

"It's dangerous here, I asked her to wait in the car..."

Before Xiao Mo finished speaking, Xue Lihong had already jumped towards the warehouse gate.

Xiao Mo's face turned pale, he immediately took out the communicator, and shouted: "Cheng Zai! Pay attention to that girl!"
