The road bandits thought that hiding behind the old and the weak would be fine, but they forgot one thing. Since the car can be raised, it can naturally be shot from a high place, especially if it can lock the target.

When children as young as five or six can beat them to play, their fate is already doomed.

All the road bandits were knocked down, some fell to the ground twitching, and some seemed to be lifeless.

When the road bandits fell, the old men and women who were walking in front were all frightened. Many people stopped and were at a loss. There were also a few old men and women who screamed and threw themselves at the fallen road bandits.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong did not get out of the car immediately. They were waiting for Lei Bing to return with his men.

When Lei Bing heard that all the gold-eating insects had been wiped out and the remaining ones were still six kilometers away, he immediately told the convoy to turn 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 were getting off the base car, "Okay, you guys, you've got it all done? Kill them all?"

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

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

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

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

Lei Bing had no choice but to wave his hand, "Boys, tie up all those road bandits! No ropes? Use their belts! Do you still want 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 some food!" Seeing the soldiers walking towards the fallen bandits, several women Yelling and rushing towards them, most of them were aunts and old ladies over fifty.

Xue Lihong raised her hand and a row of nails shot out. The relatives of the road bandits were all frightened, and those who rushed towards them were unable to hold back in time, and some of them sat down on their butts.

"You who have killed thousands of people! Why are you so bad! My poor child, you died so miserably! You villains must die a good death!" There is also an old man sitting on the ground hugging the road bandits who do not know whether to live or die. Cry and howl.

Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat and he thought he had really killed someone. They used stun guns because they were afraid of accidentally killing some not-so-bad people. Although the discharged electric current is high, it will only cause a person to become comatose and lose the ability to move, unless the gangster has a bad heart or has a pacemaker installed.

Xue Lihong motioned him to look at the old and weak people who were standing frozen on the spot. Xiao Mo didn't need to look carefully to see the contempt and pleasure in venting hatred in the eyes of those people. Some old and weak people even looked at the relatives of the bandits with even more hatred.

A small child quickly shook off the woman holding his hand and ran quickly towards Lei Bing and other soldiers. While running, he shouted: "Uncle Soldier, help! Help my sister, help my mother!"

The woman tried to catch the child, but failed. There was anxiety on her face, and she stretched her hands into her arms.

"puff!"

"Ah!" The woman suddenly screamed.

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

A soldier walked over and took out a gun from her waist.

As soon as this child ran over, other children also wanted to run, but they were either caught by women or old people, or they stopped before taking two steps.

These kids are scared.

When those old and weak people with hatred for the road bandits saw Lei Bing and the others, although their eyes burst with surprise, no one dared to move towards Lei Bing and the others, and no one even shouted 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 hiding in the crowd.

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

Xue Lihong followed his gaze and looked at the group of road bandits who had fallen to the ground, and suddenly took steps towards one of them.

Xiao Mo followed him on guard with a nail gun in hand. The experience of being on the mission for more than four months in the past taught him: Never underestimate any old, weak, sick or disabled person, even if they look like they are about to die.

Some of these old and weak people are victims of coercion, but some are obviously close to road gangsters. They must be careful if they don't want to capsize in the gutter.

According to Xiao Hong's opinion, he would rather kill all these people and hand them over to Lei Bing for disposal. Xiao Mo considered the weak and old people's resistance to electricity and rejected Xiao Hong's proposal.

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

Lei Bing was about to pass.

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

Xue Lihong suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Poof!" 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 head.

"Let me go, or I'll kill..."

"puff!"

No one noticed when Xiao Mo raised his arm. Everyone's eyes were attracted to Xue Lihong. Even Lei Bing was shocked. He wanted to take action at that time, but Xiao Mo was stronger than him. One step faster.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a long time after firing that shot. He looked down at his hands, seeming to wonder why his hands suddenly became so fast. No, it's not that he is quick, but that he kills a person without any hesitation.

Xiao Mo was suddenly a little afraid of himself like this. What happened in those fragments that he didn't remember in that chaotic memory? Why did he sense danger and shoot so quickly? You see, even special forces soldiers like Lei Bing who have participated in many actual combats can't match his reaction.

The most terrifying thing was that after killing someone this time, even though he was an old bad guy, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, either psychologically or physically.

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

He slapped Xiao Mo until he grinned.

Others who were not familiar with Xiao Mo saw him looking down at the nail gun in his hand and thought it was a silent show off and threat. The remaining relatives of the bandits or people with other purposes did not dare to move. They could only watch the soldiers tie up all the still alive road bandits.

The soldiers tied people with belts in a very skillful and unscrupulous way. They tied the men's pants with their hands. As long as the men struggled a little bit, their pants would fall off the belts. And this has become the best warning, it is clear who wants to escape and do tricks.

At first, Xiao Mo didn't understand why Xue Lihong went out of his way to find and kill the bandit leader. But after he killed the old Hou, he found that all the old and weak people who didn't dare to speak came running over in a swarm, and some people begged for help. Lei Bing and others rescued people, and some pointed at relatives of certain bandits to enumerate their sins.

Xiao Mo finally spelled out the general situation here amidst all these cries.

It turned out that most of these people were employees and family members of the steel mill. They were a group of people who had not had time to escape.

When a big disaster occurs - specifically referring to several earthquakes around the world, it was also the big earthquake that Xiao Mo and the others first experienced in Zhongshan City. Many people thought that the disaster started at that time, without knowing that the disaster It has already been around them.

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

Among the people left behind was a father and son named Hou. The father was an old gambler and an old pervert. He worked as a small supervisor in the personnel department of the steelmaking plant. Because relatives in the family had some complicated relationships with the superiors, Although he was reported many times in the factory, he still stayed in the steel factory. This person also knows that he is annoying. He usually only takes advantage of female employees verbally and physically, but does not dare to do anything.

Lao Hou's wife had been mad at the father and son for a long time, and the son Xiao Hou who was left behind did not learn well. He was always more evil than small, and he was a piece of rot that could not be shoveled away in the employee area of the steel plant. Later, he also learned to lend money at high interest rates and found a group of gangsters to go around lending money and collecting debts.

It happened that the father and son were lucky. They only suffered minor injuries during the catastrophe, and Xiao Hou was lucky enough to have super powers.

"What is his superpower?" Xiao Mo thought about it carefully, but he didn't seem to see the bandit leader using superpowers to attack or defend.

"It's similar to Shen Nong's ability to taste hundreds of herbs. He can taste a plant and know whether it is edible, whether it is poisonous, and even what special effects it has."

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

"Wow, this power is great!" Lei Bing sounded very envious. He lacked such a person in his team, but unfortunately he was beaten to death by Xue Lihong. "The power is quite good, but it's a pity that he didn't go on the right path. "He pities the superpower, not the scumbag.

The victims who were coerced have told them that Lao Hou and his son used Xiao Hou's ability to gather a group of people and got them a batch of police guns, but the original police officers were poisoned by them. Killed.

Later, gold-eating insects appeared, and Xiao Hou used his ability to find something that could make the gold-eating insects unable to detect the small metals in their hands. This made Xiao Hou's position in the steel factory more stable.

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

"Many people here were robbed while passing by. Many men were killed, leaving only the controllable ones, women and children. They separated the women and children, and gave the children to different people every time they came out to work. People lead us. Those beasts threaten us. If we dare to run away or say a word, our family members who stay in the steel factory will not have good things to eat!" A mother in her thirties wiped away her tears with them. explain.

Another old man also cried and said to Lei Bing: "Comrade officer, you must make the decision for us! Those beasts have ruined so many girls, especially the old marquis, who also attacked children less than ten years old. It's simply They are not human! Most of the people 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 any guilty person go."

*

Xue Lihong has already begun to arrest people and interrogate people about the things that block the gold-eating insects from sensing metal. Everyone who was interrogated said that only Lao Hou and his 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 quick? It would be nice to have a rare superpower and control him."

Xue Lihong said, "Well, next time I will ask the other party clearly about their abilities before killing them."

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

Xue Lihong returned to normal with the next sentence, "Didn't you notice? Unless the father and son die, these people dare not say or do anything. Do you want to stay here and spend time with them?"

Of course Lei Bing doesn't want to.

Xue Li's red fingers were tied to the road bandits, "Since we can't get anything out of these people, let's just try them on the spot and execute them on the spot. It's troublesome to bring so many people."

Lei Bing understood immediately, found a stone, stood on it, and asked the soldiers to drag a road bandit casually, and asked the old and weak people who were being coerced: "Have you seen this person? What have these people done? Should they be killed?" , you know best. Special treatment during special times. From now on, I ask a person whether he should be killed. You will vote by a show of hands. If more than half of the people vote, he will be shot. This is your opportunity for revenge, so don’t let it go."

The road bandit who was dragged out was so frightened that he screamed: "I will change! I won't dare to do it anymore! Don't kill me!"

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

Almost 90% of the old and weak people raised their hands, and many even spat at the bandit. Some even wanted to rush up and kick him.

Lei Bing raised his chin to a soldier.

The soldier came over, raised his gun and shot the bandit in the head.

After the gunfire, the road bandit fell.

The place fell silent, and then many road bandits screamed, and one of them finally shouted: "I know what that thing is! I know!"

As soon as this person shouted, other people also shouted, saying that they knew what that thing was.

Lei Bing winked at Xue Lihong, and the two men took the people aside who shouted that they knew the inside story and asked them one by one, and then checked their answers together.

"Which one do you think it is?" Lei Bing had a headache looking at a bunch of various answers.

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

Xiao Mo had already calmed down and asked the survivors: "How many people are there at the steel plant? How many people have weapons? How many have attack powers? Are there any areas or things that the Hou family and his son are particularly concerned about? ?”

After gathering these data to Xue Lihong, Xue Lihong quickly made a decision: "The trial will continue. There is no need to keep these people."

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

This kind of trial is very rough and does not even ask for reasons, but when the victim personally testifies, the error rate is very low, and the best advantage is the speed of processing.

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

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

They will deprive others of their scarce food, push all the harder and more tiring work to other coerced persons, and will be jealous of those beautiful girls.

Some of the old men actually asked their sons to give this daughter-in-law to others to be ruined, and then choose another woman because their daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter or they didn't like her very much before.

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

There are also some old men who are even more disrespectful. They start to do messy and immoral things because their sons or daughters have a little power.

None of the children of the road bandits came, and they were protected in the center of the steel plant employee area. These children don't have to work or be used as bait. They still live like little emperors and little princesses every day.

After hearing these cries, Lei Bing's expression did not change. After the catastrophe, he had seen many perverted and disgusting survivor bases. The more difficult and poor the place, the more abnormal it is!

Xiao Mo didn't want to enter this base.

Xue Lihong walked around him and gently held his hand.

Xiao Mo whispered: "Don't let Cheng Zai and the others get off the bus."

Xue Lihong didn't care, "You still see too little. The situation of this small base is pretty good. At least they have enough food, and there is not much threat to life. Gold-eating bugs eat metal but not human flesh. As long as humans have a mouthful With food, the situation wouldn’t be so miserable.”

"I just feel..."

"Humanity is collapsing too quickly?" Xue Lihong seemed to be laughing, but his eyes were very dark, "Where does human nature come from? It is not born, but is implanted. Try it and see what happens in this world. Without laws, without police, without the army, without various rules and regulations and punishment mechanisms, you see what would happen to human beings. When acquired constraints disappear, true human nature, no, it should be said that human bestiality bursts out."

Xiao Mo had to admit that Xue Lihong was right.

Xue Lihong's eyes became darker, "Human beings have intelligence and can think. They can play many more tricks than wild beasts. Wild beasts can only bite you, but at most they can tease you and chase you until you are exhausted. I will eat you one bite at a time, but humans..."

Xiao Mo suddenly held Xue Lihong's hand tightly: "You are also a human being."

Xue Li blushed for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, "Yes, I am also a human being." He said these words very slowly.

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

Xiao Mo: Boss, please stop showing up to make your presence felt, okay

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

He and Xue Lihong concentrated on looking for something that could shield the gold-eating bugs, and at the same time killed the remaining gold-eating bugs and mother bugs. They promised Lei Bing that if they found anything, they would confront Lei Bing. Half a point.

Lei Bing already has a lot of experience in comforting and rescuing survivors. They are naturally more willing to face gun-toting road bandits than gold-eating bugs that eat guns and cars.

It's a very small base.

Because of the presence of gold-eating bugs, all the original houses here are uninhabitable. Even if they seem to be in good condition, 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 around their bodies. These people were tied around their necks with ropes like ancient slaves and worked together in a series.

Part of them is tearing down the wall, and part of them is building the wall.

All the houses in this small base are only two or three stories high. Probably because of 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, suddenly jumped out with all his strength.

Several wolfhounds rushed towards him silently.

The thunder soldier rolled over and flames burst out.

"Ouch!" A wolf-dog was on fire and howled like a wolf.

The other soldiers also reacted and immediately raised their guns to shoot these wolf dogs.

The wolf dogs died soon. Lei Bing was so angry that he turned around and looked for the person who ordered the wolf dogs. These wolf dogs couldn't have jumped out for no reason. There must be someone commanding them.

Xue Lihong, who had not yet separated from them, picked up a person from behind a wall and threw it at Lei Bing's feet, "Sneak attacker. When he was talking to the dog, I originally wanted to kill him with one knife, but you said I wanted to figure it out first. The other party has special abilities, so I just waited."

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

Lei Bing: "..."

Xiao Mo quickly dragged the angry Hong away before the thunder soldiers broke out.

A little girl followed Xiao Mo quietly.

Xue Lihong poked him.

Xiao Mo turned around and stopped.

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

The little girl looked familiar to Xiao Mo, and Xue Lihong whispered in his ear: "It's the child who was held hostage by the old man just now."

Xiao Mo understood the words and squatted down towards the little girl, "Yes, I am looking for something. Little sister, can the green oil you mentioned be applied to metal?"

The little girl nodded hesitantly, "I saw them using green oil to coat the guns."

"Then do you know where the green oil is?"

The little girl looked a little scared, "I know. Grandpa Hou told me that if I don't obey and keep crying, he will throw me there. Grandpa Hou said that there is a nest of insects, saying that those insects can bite the whole building. If it collapses, disobedient children will be thrown inside to be eaten by bugs.”

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

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

The little girl always couldn't help but look back when she heard the sound of branches and other objects being broken from behind.

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

This nest is a steel mill warehouse. A large pile of refined steel has been chewed out from top to bottom. It is quite deep when viewed from above. It can really scare children.

The little girl stood in the warehouse and shivered with fear.

Xiao Mo couldn't bear to see her like this, "You go outside and wait for us, we'll be out soon."

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, and Xue Lihong thought for a while: "Either you take her out to wait, I'll be fine by myself."

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

Xue Lihong pinched his face and waved her small and medium-sized instruments: "Don't worry, there are only bugs down here, no one." After saying that, she turned around and jumped into the cave.

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

The little girl looked at the warehouse door and 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 frightened than before, "Uncle, I'm sorry, there are not only bugs inside, but also an invisible monster."

Xiao Mo's expression changed, and just then he heard a strange cry coming from the warehouse.

Seeing that Xiao Mo was about to rush into the warehouse, the little girl shouted 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 immediately. Be careful."

Xiao Mo ran into the warehouse again. He circled around and didn't see any monsters. He approached the cave cautiously and called Xue Lihong.

Xue Lihong echoed. Xiao Mo felt relieved and told him about an invisible monster in the warehouse.

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

With Xuelihong as a big killer, the remaining gold-eating insects in the nest can only become their trophies.

When Xue Lihong jumped out, she was dragging a gold-eating female insect about as thick as a human thigh.

He asked Xiao Mo to recycle the mother worm in exchange for energy crystals, and he collected the shells of the child worms down below and put them all in his backpack. His Majesty the System refused to recover the remaining Zizhong corpses.

"The gold-eating insects here are evolving very quickly. The color of their shells is changing and their hardness is increasing." Xue Lihong got into the cave again.

"What are you looking for?" Xiao Mo asked as he stood at the entrance of the cave, holding a special hand/gun that could shoot chemical bombs. There were several gold-eating insects wandering outside, and the invisible monster made him very nervous.

Xue Lihong's voice faintly came out: "Insect eggs."

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

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

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

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

"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 door.

Xiao Mo's face turned pale. He immediately took out his communication device and shouted, "Cheng Zai! Pay attention to that girl!"
