The Scavengers

Noon on August 10

When Xue Lihong watched Lao Wu leave, he thought it would be a long time before he saw Lao Wu. At that time, he had temporarily put this person behind him, and when he thought about it, no matter whether this person would become a god or a demon in the future, he would have something to do with him Not too much, as long as his behavior doesn't implicate him and his boss.

But the development of things is often so dramatic. When you think you can predict everything based on experience, God will jump out and tell you what is unpredictable.

The time is temporarily pulled back to an hour ago.

At that time, Xiao Mo and the others had all walked out of the passage, and stood under the long-lost sunshine.

However, unlike other people who were crying under the sun, Xiao Mo and the others all put on a pair of sunglasses no matter how big or small they were.

This wit... how many people praised them and envied them.

Even Major General Zhang Hua looked embarrassing and energetic when he saw them, wondering when did this family collect so many pairs of sunglasses?Isn't this too prescient?

Xiao Mo looked at the noisy group of people outside, took Yuan Yuan and the two children to find another sheltered place with few people and slowly adjusted to the sunshine.

Not far away is the security base of City H. Standing here, you can see half a large lake and a high city wall.

Base staff set up a few tables in front left.There is a plastic skin around the open space on the left, which is said to be a place for showering.Looking outside, you can still see a few groups of people carrying flags, on which the words "Welcome those with supernatural powers" are hung grandly. This is probably the H city base mercenary team who got the news in advance and came to recruit people.

Xiao Mo didn't know how many supernatural beings were hidden in the underground base, but as long as he wasn't an idiot, no one would be the first bird at this time. At least the underground base would come out before confirming the power that Major General Zhang Hua could get in the base. People basically don't move.

Xue Lihong was not there, so he went back to pick up the car.

According to the system, because this is the first generation of multi-purpose investigation vehicle, the space technology inside is not yet mature, so it can only be loaded with other space equipment, but cannot be loaded.

Xiaohong said that this has something to do with the space positioning rules initially set by the car. For example, this is like how many space connection points can be tolerated on the earth, that is, it doesn’t matter how many spiritual spaces and space equipment there are.But if you want to put the earth into a certain space, then unless the space rules of your space reach the cosmic level.

Seeing that they didn't quite understand it, Xiaohong said that the space rule positioning of this car is not at the cosmic level, but its nature is similar. If you really don't understand it, you can simply treat it as a small artificial planet that can fly and run. .

Xiao Mo barely understood, in short, this car cannot be put into any artificial space.

The passage they come out of is not very wide, but with the help of earth-type supernatural beings, it is not so narrow that only one person can walk. In order to save people and haul supplies, the passage is 1.8 meters high and [-] meters wide. , enough to come out of the base car that can shrink down into a children's toy car.

The car has a stealth function, and Xue Lihong will drive the car outside the city later, and then come back to find them.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the passage. Although some people were trying their best to maintain order, everyone needed to vent their anger just after they came out. The soldiers were not completely unreasonable, so they did nothing to stop them.

Crying, cheering, yelling, and the sounds of calling children and daughters and fathers and mothers all mixed together.

The faces of the base staff in City H were not very good-looking.

To be honest, from bottom to top, the personnel of the base did not really want to accept these refugees.

Leaving aside the thoughts of the upper-level managers, the lower-level staff, including the survivors living in the base, thought that there would be a bunch of refugees in ragged clothes covered in mud and dirt and looking like skeletons. The sense of superiority over your happiness is considered a good person. More people in the base in City H are very worried about whether these refugees will be carrying various viruses.

The shower room and disinfectant powder have been prepared. There is not much hot water, but it will not freeze to death. The main purpose is to clean the refugees.

You can't enter the base immediately after disinfection. You have to stay in the isolation area for a few days to make sure you are clean before making arrangements according to everyone's ability and donated materials.

So at this moment all the survivors who came out of the underground are gathered together in family units.

What surprised the staff was that the imaginary refugees were well-dressed, clean and healthy one by one, and there were not even a few sick people. Most of them even looked better than the people in their base .

Is this really a group of survivors who have been trapped underground for more than a month?

The staff who did not know the situation of the underground base were very surprised.

And the senior management of the base, who had sent someone to understand the situation earlier, guessed that the underground base probably had a lot of food and clean water, and even electricity.

Now these high-level officials are scratching their heads to get the materials of the underground base, including the underground base itself, but is Major General Zhang Hua so easy to manipulate?

However, the Zhongshan base did not know which tendon was cramping, and even sent a large number of elite soldiers and supernatural beings to help dig the tunnel from afar, and did not leave after the digging, and even stood on Zhang Hua's side, clearly showing support attitude.

I thought it would be easy to recruit these refugees, and the staff are used to being pleaded and begged to hold their thighs. Who would have thought that not only are the refugees not as imagined, but they are all older than them. The contrast is too bad. heart!

If this group of fat fish, who are rich at first glance, are begging to enter the base, then they can earn some points, but those people are obviously waiting for Major General Zhang Hua's instructions.This is the real reason for the black face of the staff.

However, not everyone listened to the soldiers' instructions and waited for Major General Zhang Hua's instructions with peace of mind, such as the old Wu's mother who was specially "treated" by the soldiers.

As soon as the family came out, they were reluctant to hear that they had to wait.

Old Wu's mother pulled Lao Wu and refused to stand with the others. Old Brother Ang looked around and walked towards the mercenary team with the largest number of people and the largest banner.

The soldiers frowned, but they didn't stop them. Major General Zhang Hua said: Those who want to follow him can continue to follow, and those who don't want to follow him can leave at any time.

Unfortunately, the place where this family was standing was not far from Xiao Mo.Everyone wanted to stay away from the crowd, but accidentally got together.

Xiao Mo wanted to take Yuan Yuan and the two children and leave, but then he thought: Why should we avoid them when we see them?

With this thought, he just stood there without moving.But there is another reason because he said at the beginning that he would wait for Xiaohong here, and he was afraid that Xiaohong would not be able to find him if he changed places.

Yuan Yuan and the two children also saw Old Wu and the others, but they didn't move either because Xiao Mo didn't move.

Old Wu also saw that Yuan Yuan and Xiao Mo were gone, but his expression was blank and he didn't express anything.

Old Wu's mother was still caught up in the excitement of recapturing her capable youngest son, and she was so focused on the result of her older son's search for someone that she didn't notice the other people around her for the time being.

Old Wu watched his elder brother and a young man in charge of the mercenary team nodding and bowing, pointing at him from time to time, and took out a lunch box and opened it with distressed expression, inviting the young man to enjoy it.A heart that was already cold, sank even more.

Just so eager to take advantage of him?Wouldn't you even wait for a few days to inquire about the news?

Xiao Mo also saw this scene and sighed slightly in his heart.

The young man was very displeased at the behavior of Old Brother Angkor who took the initiative to post it, and his face was very ugly, but seeing so many people present, he couldn't ask people to drag this ignorant guy away, so he had to be patient and listen to his fawning .

However, the impatience on the young man's face quickly disappeared. He probably didn't expect that the person who came to fawn on him would bring him such good news, and his expression was full of disbelief.

After a while, the young man called someone over, and told him to eat the snacks offered by Old Angkor.

The man didn't know why, but he didn't dare to disobey his order, so he had to eat the snack of unknown origin, but after eating, the man showed a surprised expression.

The young man called the man to his side, and the two whispered head to head. The young man raised his head to look at Old Wu from time to time, his eyes full of interest and the greed of the shark smelling blood.

Obviously there was a big sun shining above his head, but Old Wu felt that it was getting colder and colder.

Xiao Mo didn't feel very good about that young man. Old Wu really wanted to be loyal to this man in the future, let alone the question of whether he would be squeezed dry, it might not be easy to get away in the future.

Then do you want to help Old Wu?Rather than letting Lao Wu follow someone whose background is unknown, it is better to let him follow Major General Zhang Hua. With Major General Zhang, he will not let Old Wu suffer, right?

Xiao Mo thought so, and did the same.He asked Yuan Yuan and the two children to wait for him where he was, and ran to find a familiar soldier and asked him to send a message to Major General Zhang.

Here.

Old Wu's mother, who was holding her son tightly, not only did not object to the elder son's behavior, but also happily said to the younger son: "Your brother said that with your ability, those big bases will treat you as a treasure. Our family You can live a good life. Fortunately, you didn't expose your ability earlier, otherwise it would be difficult to escape from that Zhang Hua at this time!"

After finishing speaking, he muttered: "Don't feel sorry for your mother-in-law, just rely on your ability, do you want any good woman in the future? That woman is so much older than you, what's so good about it? Don't worry, Mom will definitely help you this time Hold your eyes well."

Old Wu smiled strangely, and said in a low voice, "Where's Xiao Yuan? He's your own grandson, don't you want him too?"

Old Wu's mother was indeed a little bit reluctant, but when she thought of the hateful look that the child gave her just now, she immediately snorted, "That child is left-handed, with all his heart attached to his mother, he is just an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf! Your sister-in-law said that Xiaoyuan is our family. I didn’t believe it at first, but now that I think about it, maybe it’s true. You see, your father and I went to visit you, and your father disappeared. When we found your elder brother’s family, both children were bitten by rats Injury, but only the baby died. It’s okay for you to separate from their mother and child now. If you don’t have a child in the future, it’s not too late to bring that child back. If you have other children, what do you want him for that kind of child who will kill the whole family? ? Are you expecting me to die?"

Old Wu laughed miserably.

Old Wu's mother continued to babble, saying that some brothers worked together to break gold, or break bones and tendons, and no one could be closer than his elder brother and his old mother.In short, the main idea is: if you want to have children and a wife, but there is only one mother and brother.

The old brother Angus came back, and he happily said to them as soon as he came back: "It's done! They asked us to advance to the base, and when the one verified the youngest's ability, he agreed to give our family a good independent house!"

Old Wu's mother hurriedly asked, "Who did you find? Is it reliable?"

Old Brother Ang puffed up his chest, "Why is it unreliable? I have been observing for a long time. Although the man is young, he definitely has a high status. Mom, let me tell you, if you want to find a backer, you must find a young man with a good family background." People, they need manpower more than their old mothers, and they are generally more generous than their parents. Young people are more greedy than middle-aged and old people, and they want power more. Our youngest's ability is the most suitable for these young masters. And give When doing things at the base, how can it be more convenient and free for individuals to do things? Isn't it just for the sake of the youngest?"

Old Wu's sister-in-law took Lao Wu's other hand with a completely different affectionate attitude before, "Youngest, we will rely on you from now on."

Seeing his wife like that, Old Brother Ang's face changed slightly, but he returned to normal after a while, and repeatedly called Old Wu to follow him quickly.

Old Wu stood still.He originally thought that after entering the base, he would use his own ability to spend a few years earning a house for his wife, earning another sum of alloy particles for her retirement, and then find another opportunity to leave.He wanted to be filial to his mother, but it was impossible to spend his whole life on her.In these most precious years, he should repay her for her birth and upbringing.

But his own initiative and being forced to sell himself are two different things, especially if it was his own brother and his own mother who sold him.

"The youngest?"

It just so happened that when Old Wu's mother was tugging on her son, she immediately saw Xiao Mo and the others who were not far away from them.

Immediately, Old Wu's mother felt that she knew the reason why her son refused to move, and she spat at Xiao Mo and the others, with a prophetic expression of "I knew you would come and pester my son".

Old Mrs. Wu also looked like she was going to come over and tear her down.

Xiao Mo likes to meddle in other people's business but is not soft-hearted, so he took out the nail gun at these two old middle-aged women, and "papa" shot each of them at their feet.

Old Wu's mother was so frightened that she grabbed her son into her arms.

Old Mrs. Wu screamed, and sat down on the ground, and accidentally pressed her hand on the thick phlegm spit out by Old Wu's mother.

"Evil!" It wasn't enough for Lin Xiaofei to cover his eyes with one hand, and Wu Xiaoyuan's was also covered with the other small paw.

The adults Xiao Mo and Yuan Yuan were very angry at first, but they were laughed at by Lin Xiaofei's "my eyes are ruined" gesture.

Old Wu's mother wanted to scold, but Xiao Mo pointed the gun at her, and sneered like his parents: "I'm not your son, you dare to scold me."

Xiao Mo would never shoot at the old man, at most he would scare him, but Old Wu's mother didn't know, because Xue Lihong kicked her eldest son, which caused her eldest son's stomach to still be aching, and her heart was full of pain. It was decided that these two were not easy to mess with hooligans.

"Look who you know here! Look at how they treat your mother!" Old Wu's mother didn't dare to scold Xiao Mo, so she went to scold Old Wu.

Old Mrs. Wu endured her nausea and wiped her hands on the ground, and then scolded: "You still treat your wife as a treasure, I think she is a shameless prostitute, seducing your brothers is not enough, it must have been long ago Hooked up with those two men! I think that slut might have wanted to dump... ah!"

Yuan Yuan, who had been patient all the time before, refused to bear it any longer. Hearing the woman's swearing words, she went up and slapped her several times.

Old Mrs. Wu was so beaten up, she covered her face and screamed after a while, getting up from the ground and trying her best.

Old Wu can endure his mother scolding his wife, because that is his own mother!But it was someone else... Old Wu grabbed his sister-in-law's arm and scolded angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, you will leave our house in the future!"

"What do you mean? You want your elder brother to dump me, don't you? Your old Wu family is really nothing! My son is dead, and you don't even want his mother! Isn't it just a stinky cook with supernatural powers? What's the matter?" Great! Wu Youxiong, why are you just watching? Seeing your wife being beaten by your brother and your brother's woman, you are very proud, don't you!"

Old Mrs. Wu and Old Wu were tearing together, biting and cursing, as if they were going crazy.

Seeing that her son was being bullied like this, Old Wu's mother didn't want to, so she also stepped forward to pull Old Aunt Wu's hair.

Old Brother Ang's complexion kept changing, he didn't pull his wife, and he didn't do anything to Old Wu. Instead, he looked at Yuan Yuan with a nostalgic and distressed expression.

Yuanyuan was almost disgusted!

"Sister-in-law, I'm stupid. I should have left when I first saw their family. Go, stay away from them." Seeing that they were having trouble, Xiao Mo stepped forward to pull Yuan Yuan back, and was about to leave with two children. land.

The other people nearby saw that this family was making trouble again, and gathered around to watch the excitement together.For those who don't know the situation, listening to the explanation of the people next to them is like listening to a big drama.

This time the soldiers didn't bother with that family anymore, and let them make trouble.

But the staff at the base couldn't see it, so they sent someone over to fight.But the security guards at these bases are usually used to it. How could it be possible for the soldiers led by Zhang Hua to still have the people in their hearts?

Old Wu's mother and her sister-in-law were about to make a scene, but when they saw the sneering eyes of the security guards, they immediately became honest.

Old Mrs. Wu didn't want to let them be unlucky, she pointed at Xiao Mo, and shouted at the base security in a high voice: "That woman stole people, stole my husband! And beat me, don't you care?"

"Slap!" Old Wu couldn't take it anymore, and slapped the woman on the face.

The woman howled, and wanted to pounce on Old Wu again, and shouted desperately: "Why did you hit me! Did I say something wrong! That's a scum! A bitch who is overthrown by thousands of people! Wu Youxiong! You just Do you want someone to beat your wife? You have no seed! You are not human!"

Xiao Mo, who had just walked not far away, stopped in his tracks. If he and Yuan Yuan walked away in full view, and others thought they were guilty, then Yuan Yuan would have lost her bad reputation.

Yuan Yuan was trembling with anger, but she had a strong temper but could not swear, let alone swear back with the same swear words.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoyuan, who was holding hands with Lin Xiaofei at this moment, suddenly screamed, shook off Lin Xiaofei's hand, and rushed over. He didn't know when he caught a stone in his hand.

No one noticed the child's movements. When Wu Xiaoyuan rushed to the old Mrs. Wu and threw the stone, many people didn't react.

"You bad woman! Let you scold my mother! Kill you!"

"Xiao Yuan!" Yuan Yuan was stunned, and immediately rushed over to grab her son.

Xiao Mo's face also changed, he was afraid that the child would be injured, so he ran over as fast as he could.

"Ahhhh! My eyes! My eyes! Damn bastard! How dare you! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" old Mrs. Wu screamed, black blood dripping from her fingers.

Wu Xiaoyuan seemed petrified.

The adults rushed over.

Old Wu's first reaction was to protect his son.

But Wu Xiaoyuan's subsequent actions would scare a bunch of adults.

This child who was only five or six years old actually took out another stone from his pocket and threw it at Mrs. Wu again.

"Crack!" Old Mrs. Wu's head was punched out of a hole.

Xiao Mo finally realized that something was wrong, the child's strength was abnormal!

Yuan Yuan hugged her son tightly.

Old Wu also stood in front of his son.

Old Wu's elder brother and old Wu's mother came to their senses at this moment, one screamed and the other looked cold, but neither of them even looked at the woman who fell on the ground.

When the security guards at the base saw that someone was injured, they first saw that it was a child who shot, and they didn't take it seriously even if they saw blood.

But when one of them went to ask Mrs. Wu to get up, he found that the person who had been cursing and crying just now had lost his breath.

This woman was crushed to death by a child with a small stone.

The most frightening thing was that when the woman was turned over, everyone discovered that one eye that the woman was covering with her hand had been smashed.

"It's dead."

"Power ability?" someone with knowledge called out.

Old Wu's mother looked at Wu Xiaoyuan like she was looking at a demon, and her screams changed: "Baby mother is right! You are a bad star! A broom star! You are so vicious at such a young age, you are going to kill our whole family! kill it!"

There was no sadness in the old Brother Ang's eyes, but he forced some points on his face, and he couldn't help saying: "How could this happen? Youngest brother, what do you think should be done? What should we do!"

Old Wu and Yuan Yuan were both pale. Yuan Yuan hugged her son tightly, looking like an enemy.

Old Wu protected his wife and children and retreated to Xiao Mo's place little by little.

Xiao Mo saw the base security guard with an unclear expression, and took out the nail gun again.

Now he finally understands one thing. Old Wu's leaving his wife and children is probably not only because he can't stand the entanglement of his mother and his elder brother's family, but he is even more afraid that his son will be targeted by them, and then they will use him thoroughly.

Thinking about Yuan Yuan's previous statement that only a thousand days can be a thief but not a thousand days to guard against a thief, and that she will be killed, I am afraid that she is not referring to herself but her son Wu Xiaoyuan.It was only after hearing this that Lao Wu decided to leave their mother and son.

Think about the behavior of old Wu brother and sister-in-law, if they really can't get benefits from old Wu, plus the jealousy of losing their son, after knowing Wu Xiaoyuan's ability, it is really possible to steal Wu Xiaoyuan away sell things.

After all, no matter how powerful Wu Xiaoyuan is, he is still only a five or six-year-old child. If the two adults are determined to kill him, it is really unlikely that he can escape.

There was a lot of commotion, this time it wasn't just the security guards of the base who came here, but also the staff of the base and those mercenary teams who wanted to recruit supernatural beings.

When Zhang Hua's soldiers saw that their own men were being threatened, they immediately dispersed a few of them.

The senior officials of the base who were talking about the matter, Major General Zhang Hua and others were also alarmed.

Xiao Mo was thinking about how to solve this matter. After all, someone died at the scene, even if it was only a child who did it, but if someone said it was instigated by an adult, the matter would be complicated.

Old Wu, Yuan Yuan, and Wu Xiaoyuan have been classified as his own people by him. The couple have done nothing wrong, and Xiaoyuan is still such a young child. It is understandable for him to kill by mistake. He must protect him.

Now it depends on what the people at the base in City H want to do, and whether something will happen through this.And Old Wu's brother and his mother are not fuel-efficient lamps, they will definitely want to eat a large piece of fat from Old Wu or him.

Then at this moment, the system raised its voice: "A system issued an order ahead of me."

What about the back?The back is gone.

His Majesty the System thinks that it can bestow such a sentence, which is enough to express everything.

Xiao Mo, who was using his brain, was completely confused.Order?what order?Why did His Majesty the System take it out and talk about it?
