The first ray of sunlight in the early morning passed through the hole in the roof and slanted down onto Xu Le's face, looking like mottled flower shadows, very beautiful.
Especially after the terrible darkness.
This kind of bright sunshine is particularly precious.
After getting enough rest and getting rid of tension and fatigue.
I have to say that Xu Le's face is quite good-looking now, with some of the charm of his previous life. Compared with Yanzu and Edison Chen, they are all about the same.
…
"Ale? When are we leaving? Ale, Ale!"
"Old Zhou!"
Lao Zhou's shout woke Xu Le up suddenly from his sleep. Regardless of the pain and stiffness in his neck, he quickly grabbed the bed board and looked around.
"It's already daybreak."
Xu Le touched the medal in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was still there.
However, he immediately stood up nervously, because when he glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye, he found that the person standing at the door was no longer the golden toad, but a man in black clothes.
If there's anything they both have in common, it's that they both smoke!
"The toad turned into a human?"
Hearing Xu Le's words, the man standing at the door frowned immediately.
“What kind of toad turned into a human
Has this kid been corrupted by Gu Yinduo to the point of losing his mind?"
But the man didn't say much. He just took a few puffs and quickly finished the cigarette in his hand.
He threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out, then turned around and looked at Xu Le:
"Are you awake?"
Isn't this nonsense? Xu Le thought so, but he didn't dare to say it.
In particular, the opponent's clothing, weapons, and the logo on the chest all point to a certain unit in the original owner's memory.
The unconventional forces of the lighthouse, the travelers wandering in the darkness, the lighthouse keepers.
The Night Watchman position system has not been explained in detail to the public.
However, Xu Le still learned from the original owner's memory that some of them were responsible for guarding the safety of the lighthouse.
Another part of the Night Watch needs to go out to explore dangerous areas, eliminate dangers, and create safe zones.
People's perceptions of the night watchmen are also very different.
Some people feel that they are the keepers of the lighthouse and deserve support.
But there are also some people who think that they are too mysterious. Are those who can wander in the dark still human beings
With such emotions, it is natural to resist the Night Watchmen.
"Are you the Night Watchman?"
Hearing Xu Le reveal his identity, the man sneered.
"Oh."
But he did not answer Xu Le's question. Instead, he turned and looked at the door, as if waiting for something.
Xu Le also followed his gaze and looked towards the door. Not long after, several people wearing the same black and gray combat uniforms came over.
There are three men and three women, including the man at the door, making a total of seven people in this team.
The man at the door nodded to them and made a gesture that Xu Le didn't recognize.
Then he asked:
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Deal with it? Although Xu Le didn't know what these people were communicating secretly, he had a strong feeling.
The treatment they were talking about was definitely not about bringing him back to the lighthouse safely and providing him with good food and drink along the way.
Kill them? Discard them in the wild? Or specimen them and take them back
If they wanted to kill him, what should he do? Use another Guyinduo fruit to summon the golden toad
Thinking of this, Xu Le felt a little confused.
A woman's voice answered the man:
"Is that him?"
“Well, I just found out that my companion has been deformed, and there are some signs of fighting at the scene, but not much.
As a lone person staying overnight, with only a bonfire, it was strange that I didn't die after sleeping here.
It’s probably contaminated.”
Polluted? This word is not a simple word in this world.
Polluters are generally those who have been polluted by the power of Gu Yinduo.
Some of these people will be deformed into strange shapes, and some will die directly.
The woman nodded slightly:
"Let me take a look first. If it is confirmed to be correct, it will not be too late to deal with it later."
Xu Le heard the conversation between the two clearly. The so-called treatment should be to kill him and then burn the body with real fire.
This is the most convenient and quickest way to deal with polluters.
Xu Le's mind raced, and he realized that if he wanted to survive from the hands of humans, force alone might not be enough.
Let’s not talk about whether the Golden Toad is a match for these night watchmen.
Even if Jin Chan really has the ability to kill everyone, he still needs to pass the lighthouse's security inspection if he wants to return to the lighthouse.
It won't be so easy then, and the Golden Toad won't be able to fight against the entire lighthouse.
They might not even be a match for the team in front of them.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Le began to sort out his thoughts.
He was able to sleep safely until dawn, probably because the toad protected him as promised.
But how should I tell these night watchmen now
It is better to confess and be lenient than to spend the rest of your life in prison.
Or are you resisting the strict regulations and going home for the New Year
If I make up a story, how can I make these people believe me
This is a question worth pondering.
…
While Xu Le was thinking, the woman called the head had already walked in front of him.
The woman in front of me was about thirty years old, and time had left some traces on her face.
She is above average in appearance. If she were ten years younger, she would be quite outstanding.
Before Xu Le wanted to stand up, the woman came over and grabbed his arm, picked him up like a chicken, and looked left and right.
Her method was very rough, and she didn't care about Xu Le's feelings at all.
It seemed that he didn't ask Xu Le's opinion either.
It was as if what he caught was not a human being, but a chicken.
The woman's eyes were cold. She only paused slightly when she saw the gunshot wound on Xu Le's chest. The rest of the time she just glanced past.
After reading it, the woman let go of her hand and threw Xu Le to the ground.
She did not make a final judgment on Xu Le, but turned to another team member behind her and said:
"Wang Shu, come and take a look."
"yes."
Wang Shu walked up to Xu Le and nodded to him:
"I'm sorry."
"Forehead?"
Before Xu Le could react, Wang Shu had already put on white wire gloves and began to examine Xu Le's body.
This man's technique is much gentler than a woman's, so it doesn't hurt as much when he pinches the bones.
As he examined, he began to repeat his findings.
"From the skeleton, he is about 18-22 years old, male, about 180cm tall, and weighs 60kg.
There was a musket blast wound on the chest, but no signs of burns, and it was not caused by a close-range shooting.
There are a lot of bloodstains on the body, both human and weird.
The initial judgment is that the contacted monster is a ghost body, a zombie, or other unknown.
There are obvious remnants of ancient Yinduo energy on his body.
Risk assessment, high, suspected contamination.
Boss, what now?"
The middle-aged woman nodded with satisfaction after hearing Wang Shu's examination results:
"Xiao Wangshu's business ability has improved very quickly. Well, that's basically it.
As for how to deal with this kid, what do you think? "
After the woman spoke, another team member took the lead:
“If it was a normal duo, there would be no problem, but now he is alone and his companion is dead.
This is definitely someone who stayed alone at night. It’s too risky to bring such a person back home, so let’s deal with him right here.”
"Yes, the possibility of someone staying alone at night being contaminated is too high, so let's deal with it on the spot."
“Second.”
Xu Le listened to these people's conversation in silence. All these conversations pointed to one result, that is, he was contaminated by the weirdness.
The other team member had said it very bluntly that he should be dealt with on the spot.
What is the solution to solve the problem on the spot? Xu Le knew it without thinking.
The desire to survive made Xu Le sort out his thoughts instantly.
To survive, you need to do two things.
First, he had to prove that he was not contaminated.
Then, he needs to demonstrate his own value.
Because light proves that you are not polluted, but in this slightly dark world, you may not be able to survive.
Human hearts are not necessarily ugly, but they are not necessarily kind either.
People who are useless will be directly abandoned to some extent, especially in the dangerous wilderness.
He needs to demonstrate value.
And it must be done step by step to reflect multiple values.
He took a deep breath and let the heat fill his body.
When the people in front of him gradually twisted in front of him, Xu Le slowly spoke:
"I, Xu Le, am not contaminated."
