Chapter 134: shot

Just as Long Yuehong was about to read the information a few more times, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

"It's time for a power outage?" Jiang Baimian flipped his wrist and looked at the electronic watch, and found that it was more than 8:40.

She suddenly laughed:

"It's a lot more human than the company."

Inside the "Pangu Creature", it is said that the street lights will be turned off at nine o'clock in the evening, so it will not be delayed until 9:01, which is more than ten minutes overtime like now.

"Does humanization mean looser management?" Bai Chen tried to understand the subtext of the team leader.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"There are good and bad, and the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail."

"To say it means not to say it." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.

Then, he added:

"I'm afraid Bai Chen is embarrassed to say that."

"Hey, you're quite enthusiastic." Jiang Baimian, who was used to Shang Jianyao's similar performance, just rolled his eyes at him.

She said immediately:

"Let's take a rest, I've been busy from morning to night today, and I have to do business again tomorrow."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong subconsciously replied loudly.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled helplessly:

"Don't be so formal. Do you want the whole building to know that we are together and that there is a team leader

"Hehe, it's okay, just pay attention. Different environments have different requirements."

Fortunately, there was a power outage just now, which brought a lot of noise and noise, completely covering up the little movement here.

Following the previous arrangement, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered the room by the courtyard.

In this way, what happened? Bai Chen took Long Yuehong to the yard and returned to the jeep as soon as possible, while Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had different sensing abilities than ordinary people, which could effectively Guard against accidents from the street.

"Do you sleep on top, or do I sleep on top?" After watching Bai Chen and Long Yuehong leave, Jiang Baimian pointed to the bunk beds in the room.

"You." Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, then asked with a smile:

"Are you worried that waking up at night will affect me?"

"I ate a lot today." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.

"That's fine." Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something, "Don't challenge the disease island tonight, you have to do business tomorrow and keep your energy up."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao didn't hesitate.

"Still distinguishing the priorities of things." Jiang Baimian boasted with a smile.

While speaking, she walked to the table by the window and looked out.

The entire South Street and East Street were completely dark, and even the street lamps no longer radiated light.

Some places on West Street are still shining, like a lighthouse in the dark; North Street is brightly lit, as if a galaxy has fallen to the ground.

"It's really clear..." Jiang Baimian sighed, took off his jacket, and climbed to the top bunk.

Not long after she and Shang Jianyao lay down, they suddenly heard a few crisp gunshots.

This is from West Street.

After a few bangs, the night calmed down again, and the dynamic and warm music continued from West Street without any influence.

Slap clap, Shang Jianyao suddenly applauded.

"What are you applauding?" Jiang Baimian asked directly, too lazy to guess what Shang Jianyao wanted to express.

"They are really energetic." Shang Jianyao replied with a little yearning.

"Maybe this is Weed City." Jiang Baimian closed his eyes and slowly cultivated sleepiness.

Not long after, there was a commotion at the city gate not far from them, mixed with a few gunshots.

"Why is someone shooting here?" Long Yuehong, who was sleeping on the bottom bunk, asked Bai Chen worriedly and curiously.

He chose the lower bunk because Bai Chen was good at sniping and could better monitor the movement in the yard at a higher place.

"Those homeless who can't enter the city during the day want to break in at night." Bai Chen guessed based on his own knowledge and the current environment, "Then the guards fired."

Long Yuehong's mood was quite complicated when she heard it. Not only did she feel sorry for the homeless people waiting to die in the cold winter night, but she also felt that the guards' shooting was justified and did not make any mistakes.

This reminded him of a sentence, a favorite sentence of the employees who have served in the security department for a long time in the "Panga Creatures":

"This fucking world!"

When the movement at the city gate subsided, Long Yuehong quickly forced herself to fall asleep.

At this moment, he heard a humming sound coming from upstairs or upstairs.

In other buildings, there are similar movements, and if there is nothing, it echoes in the courtyard.

Long Yuehong is no stranger to this. After all, the place where ordinary employees of "Pangu Creatures" live, the sound insulation is not so good.

This made him a little red-faced - what was different now was that he also slept a woman on the top bunk.

After a while, the voices of um ah subsided one after another, and Long Yuehong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But after a few minutes, the chant sounded again.

Almost at the same time, a sharp scolding broke out:

"Fuck off!

"I just gave you two steamed buns and want to come for the second time? Shame?"

Long Yuehong was a little stunned when she heard it, and she hesitated for a while to ask:

"What, what's the situation?"

"Prostitute." Bai Chen replied succinctly.

Inside "Pangu creatures", this is a non-existent occupation, and Long Yuehong only knows what it means through textbooks and dictionaries.

"Ah this..." Long Yuehong was stunned at first, and then defended herself, "I thought people on the surface were busy surviving..."

"This in itself is a way of life." Bai Chen said without any contempt, "and the more pressure to survive, the more he will seek to vent in this regard."

She paused and added two sentences:

"In Wild Grass City, there are too many outsiders, too many relic hunters, they wander in the dust all year round, and haven't touched a woman for weeks or even months.

"In this regard, female relic hunters are much better. As long as they are willing, there are candidates. Maybe they can earn some supplies, but they also need to consider whether they will be infected with diseases and whether they will become pregnant. For a female relic hunter, they all belong to If you're not careful, you can ruin your own business."

Long Yuehong listened quietly and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

The night flows at a constant speed between calm and unrest. When Long Yuehong woke up in the middle of the night, the whole city fell asleep at some point.

At 7:30, it was just dawn, and the darkness was still the master of the earth, and the streets were already lively.

Many shops have opened their doors to sell breakfast.

Among them, the most popular ones are several shops selling wowotou, which are cheap enough.

Some stores even only sell charcoal-fired hot water, 1 cass per cup, specially prepared for relic hunters who choked after eating wowotou.

- There is also a charge for tap water.

"Good job..." Shang Jian Yaolian made his evaluation after eating two yellow wowatou.

This kind of wowtou gets 5 Cass for one, and 1 Dragai for two.

Jiang Bai, who was picking up the water bag, gave Shang Jianyao a blank look:

"No one is urging you, why are you eating so fast?"

"Re-experience the feeling of being in the 'Hungry Ghost Dao'." Shang Jian Yaogulu explained seriously after drinking the water.

"You want to say that if you get used to this way of eating first, when you encounter the purification method, you can buy a few extra seconds after falling into the 'Hungry Ghost Dao'?" Jiang Baimian has a clear understanding. asked rhetorically.

"Be prepared, more chances win less chances." Shang Jianyao nodded.

"...You're repeating it again!" Jiang Baimian felt that these words sounded familiar, and then remembered that he had said it.

She turned and laughed:

"Actually, wouldn't it be better to prepare some easy-to-swallow food?"

"I can't predict when I will meet Jingfa." Shang Jianyao put the water bag back on his armed belt.

"You can keep it on your body and don't eat it." Jiang Baimian retorted, "However, you shouldn't be able to meet Zen Master Jingfa in Yecao City. There are so many women here, and he can't control himself at all."

While talking, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walked along the street to the central square, the target hunter guild.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were eating breakfast slowly, not in a hurry to keep up.

After walking a few dozen meters, Jiang Baimian saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed round hat hurried out of the alley.

Suddenly, she stretched out a hand, stopped Shang Jianyao, and turned her eyes to the building opposite.

boom!

After a shot was fired, the man wearing the wide-brimmed round hat just now fell to the ground, splashing red and white.

The entire street instantly froze and lost its voice.

After a few seconds, screams and shouts sounded one after another, one after another.

The Weed City patrolmen with submachine guns hurried to the building where the bullets were fired.

They have posted the corresponding street to prevent themselves from being shot.

"It's still professional..." Jiang Baimian commented very calmly.

She had noticed just now that the gunman was on the rooftop.

Shang Jianyao sighed inexplicably:

"pity… "

"What a pity?" Jiang Baimian asked slightly puzzled.

"Going through another island should make him unable to pull the trigger." Shang Jianyao replied regretfully.

Jiang Baimian looked at the width of South Street and the height of the building, nodded slightly and said:

"If the gunman is on the fourth floor of these rows, it's not impossible."

The width of South Street is about five or six meters, and the three-story building is almost ten meters high. Calculate the height of the window sill and apply the Pythagorean theorem to simply calculate that if the sniper is on the fourth floor and is roughly parallel to the two, it will be the same as the business. Jian Yao's straight-line distance is between twelve and thirteen meters, which is just within the range of the Awakener's ability of "lack of two-handed movement".

The fifth floor and the rooftop are beyond the boundaries.

Before waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, Jiang Baimian smiled thoughtfully:

"I kind of ignored this ability before.

"In a city with many obstacles, in an environment dominated by street fighting, it should play a greater role than I expected."

Especially in places like Wild Grass City where buildings are generally not high.

"It's a pity..." Shang Jianyao sighed again.

"It's a pity that you don't have an enemy for you to try now?" Jiang Baimian asked rhetorically.

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao nodded honestly.

Jiang Baimian didn't talk to him, but only reminded him seriously:

"This is also suitable for most awakened people."

Here, the distance between people is significantly compressed by the building.
