Zach stood on the back porch, staring at the eaves with squinted eyes, hesitating about his means of transportation. If he drives, he can't avoid the sun. If you take a bus, you have to charm a bus full of people, which is a waste of energy.
"Eli!" Zach waved to the cheerful mind-reader who was chatting with Alice, "Come here." The vampire had a smile on his face.
Before the impatience on Ai Li's face showed, he was pushed by the smiling banshee, "Go! Ai Li!"
Eli looked at Alice with a smile, shook his head, and walked towards the vampire.
Zach put his hands on Aili's shoulders seriously, "Aili, tell me, which way does my heart lean more? Driving? Bus?"
Another use of mind-reading is that he can objectively feel the tendency of people's hearts in difficult situations! Be convenient! I'm afraid only vampires can take advantage of this calmly.
Eli frowned. He didn't seem to like being used as a tool, but he still looked into Zach's eyes and curled his lips, "The bus is louder."
Zach patted Eli with satisfaction, "Thank you, it's time for the bus!"
Zach put on his sunglasses and stepped out on the back porch.
It's midsummer and it's daytime again, so vampires really have no reason to cover themselves up. There was no coat and the sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to be more comfortable, but the vampire still added a vest. He had to have a place to put his snacks, right
The vampire began to consider whether his dressing style was still suitable for the current pace of life. After all, Grande did not need to go out in the summer. As he walked to the bus stop, he thought, maybe it would be better to dress like Blake Stone. It not only has a low-key sense of nobility to satisfy the vanity of a vampire, but is also convenient enough, at least. The sweatshirt will have a hood...
Grand House is located south of the center. Just after entering Highway 27 and continuing a short walk south, there is a bus stop. Because it is in the Southern District, you don’t have to expect to be able to get on the bus as soon as you arrive. It will take about half an hour for a bus to come from the north and then continue south. Go all the way to the southernmost side of the Southern District, pick up a few more scattered passengers, and return here again.
Zach walked to the bus stop where there was only one bus stop sign. He smiled and took off his sunglasses and waved to the man who was already waiting there. "Serys, are you taking the bus too? What a coincidence."
Sires was holding several pieces of uncrowned paper in his hand, which seemed to be some kind of documents. He looked up and saw the owner of the funeral home, frowning. He quickly folded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. A crumpled plastic bag was exposed from the pocket, with a bulge inside that seemed to be the shape of a small bottle. Sires' eyes drifted to other places, he stuffed his fingers in his pockets twice, and nodded, as a greeting.
The burly man gave Zach the real idea of Grande in the hearts of South Siders, so Zach didn't mind his little rudeness.
"It's really hot today, right?" Zach held his sunglasses in one hand and pretended to spread them in front of his face with the other.
Sires glanced at Zach who was wearing a vest. He curled his lips and tilted his head again.
"Why didn't you drive your own car? Did you take a ride here?" Zach asked with a smile.
There's nothing more upsetting than meeting someone you don't like while waiting for a bus.
After waiting for a while, there was no answer, "Hey." Zach seemed completely unaware, "Briel's brother is buried in the North Park of our cemetery. Have you guys gone to see it?"
Sires frowned and looked at Zach, and was silent for a moment, "I don't want to talk now, so. Thank you." He walked to the other side of Highway 27, separated from Zach by a road. He glanced at Zach across from him. He twitched the corners of his mouth and looked away.
Zach raised his eyebrows and finally shut up. It’s so tiring to talk across the street.
In the north, in the bright sunshine, the yellow bus twisted in the light, slowly approaching and becoming clear. Siris stared at the bus and waved, then got on the bus.
Zach pouted, was he so annoying? Why.
But my vampire is not that fragile, letting a guy he met by chance affect his mood. While waiting for the bus to return, he comfortably took out his snack jar and thought about Nuo.
What Nuo said is actually right. If Zach helps him, he will definitely offend Smith, and by extension, Quinn and Barton... But if you think about it more carefully, our vampire actually doesn't want to be so favored by those in the West!
do you remember? Is Zach uncomfortable knowing that Smith has drawn him into a conflict of interests? Yes, vampires have no hesitation in settling the family affairs of those in the West End, but the struggle for interests is different. Want aliens to do things for the benefit of humanity? Well, vampires don't have such a good relationship with them.
Maybe this is an opportunity to send a message. Tell those people in the West End that Grande is a 'helper', but not the kind of helper who only acts for their benefit. If they are prepared to use Grande in a struggle for interests, don't be naive to think that Grande will not will be hired first by their rivals.
If they want Grande to stay in their camp well, they have to make an agreement. Grande will only take care of his family affairs as he wishes, and those in the West District don't have to worry about Grande being hired by his opponents. Of course, this agreement will have to be discussed after this matter is over. And Zach can predict that the person who will have a good conversation with him must be Mrs. Quinn, who knows the most about Grande.
From the south, the yellow bus was slowly approaching. Zach collected his snack can, waited for the bus to stop, and got on the bus.
Sure enough, Sires was still in the car. He was sitting in the last row. When he saw Zach coming up, he turned his head and looked out the window expressionlessly. It seemed that he had not changed positions since he got in the car, and now his entire body was shrouded in the eastern sunshine.
Zach curled his lips helplessly and glanced at the seven or eight scattered passengers in the car.
"What's in the mirror?" The vampire raised his voice and pointed to the rearview mirror in surprise.
When everyone looked at it unattractively, the vampire's eyes turned red, "Oh, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong, it's just my own shadow~"
You always have to find some fun for yourself, right? Otherwise life would be so boring.
Amidst the disdainful hums of several people, Zach smiled and walked to the west side, sitting down in a place with less sunlight.
Taking the bus in Barton is actually a new thing for Zach. When he first came to Barton, Anthony was always worried about letting vampires and werewolves stay in a small space full of people.
According to Anthony's words, "This is not a battlefield! The people around you are not enemies! They are just civilians! Be more restrained!"
The two aliens were speechless about Anthony's boring worries.
Anthony himself had war trauma, so he thought that two aliens who had lived for an unknown number of years would also have this kind of disease that only fragile humans can have. In fact, the only one who couldn't control himself was Anthony himself. He felt insecure about being unarmed in a moving enclosed space.
However, the vampires and werewolves were considerate of the feelings of their fragile friend and tried not to use this kind of transportation. Any movement relied on the magical feet of their alien race.
This pissed Anthony off again, so they got a car.
The bus seems like an easy place to let your mind wander. Zach looked at the receding scenery outside the window and recalled that after coming to Barton, they did not have the surname Grande at that time. The first car at that time still existed in his memory, and the one that had been overturned by the Alfa Almost like an old car.
Zach still remembers Benjamin complaining every time that the seat was too small and his head would hit the roof of the car, which was too inconvenient.
When Zach decided to come back, he would take back the car that the three of them had pooled their money to buy from Anthony!
"Big Q." The conductor worked part-time as the announcer. Her voice was not very loud, but there were only a few people in the car, so it was impossible not to hear her.
Just when the conductor was about to turn his head and signal that there was no need to stop, Sires in the back row stood up and walked towards the back door.
"Someone's leaving." The conductor changed his words.
This is a very strange thing.
No one will make a bus to come to QQ. People in the South District have different shopping habits than people in the North District because there are too few places similar to convenience stores. Therefore, people in southern areas usually buy all household consumables once a week or even once a month. The large quantity means that everyone will come by car and will not return without filling the back compartment.
Zach raised his eyebrows as he watched Siris get out of the car and run quickly in the direction of Big Q. The only explanation is that he didn't go to Daq. Zach's eyes fell on a nearby pharmacy, thought about it, and understood. Those papers he saw before were probably prescriptions and the like. He was here to prescribe medicine for someone.
What a good man. Mental illness is not a "glorious" thing in people's minds nowadays. No wonder Sires didn't drive himself, but walked so far to the station on the Grande side to wait for the bus.
It seemed that he was indeed annoying, Zach pursed his lips helplessly and shook his head.
The bus started moving north again, passing by the factories of Ixton and Hermann, and the "Passey Activity Center." The conductor announced the stop, "There is..."
Zach nodded and smiled at the other party, and stood in front of the back door consciously.
This is the southeastern part occupied by gangsters, but the station can't be named after those guys! Therefore, the original Paisiying Activity Center on the west side to the east and after Ogier Street was used as the platform name.
It can only be said that the former Barton City Government really placed hope on Pai Siying. But now, looking at it, the Back Bay activity center has become the largest stadium in the state of Marseille, Fenway Park, while the Paisley activity center may be demolished at any time.
Zach got out of the car and walked to the General's bar in a familiar manner.
Straight across some shady alleyways, the vampire is about to reach its destination.
"Dylan." Zach smiled, walked forward, and looked at the person in front of him who stopped and turned back. "Seth, you must be a very good mentor. Dylan seems to be unwilling to go home." (..)
