Du Yan jumped down from Shen Heng's arms and complained a little: "It's not good, you always treat me like a glass doll, you have to train me! I'm a person who wants to break through the world."
Shen Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make a training plan for you from tomorrow."
Old A, who had just come over, was frightened by Shen Heng's smile and almost looked for his eyes.
When Du Yan saw the big man with a pestle behind Shen Heng, there was an inexplicable expression on his face, as if the whole person was a little bad.
He couldn't bear the stupid look of the other party, so he patted Shen Heng and nodded again: "Hello."
Shen Heng turned around, only to discover the existence of Old A, and introduced: "This is Old A, this is Du Yan."
Old A is the captain of the guard of the No. 1, 3, and 5 tribe. He is the second most powerful infected person in the tribe. He was also the one who contacted Shen Heng on the radio before.
Old A closed all the machine gun towers around the outpost, jumped into Shen Heng's car, and led the two into the camp.
Du Yan took the initiative to sit in the back of the car and gave up the seat of the passenger seat to the old A who led the way. The living area at the rear of the car and the driving area in front are separated by glass, which is a relatively independent small space.
Du Yan stuck in front of the car window, watching with great interest the completely different scenery outside the window from his home. The houses in this small settlement are mostly metal shells, standing there like metal monsters, and the whole place looks very heavy metal punk style.
Old A and Shen Heng have known each other for a long time, and they are not as afraid of Shen Heng as those who don't know the truth. He glanced at Du Yan, and seeing the surprised look on the boy's face, he knew that the other party must have just come out of his home.
Old A asked directly, "Shen Heng. How did you find a boy?"
Shen Heng didn't understand what Old A meant and replied, "You mean Du Yan? He's pretty good."
"..." When Old A saw Shen Heng mentioning Du Yan, his eyes softened, and he stopped asking more questions, but just sighed, "Yes, you don't care about people with bloodlines, it doesn't matter if the person you like is male or female. Yes. I envy you for being so free and easy."
"What are you envious of?" Du Yan's voice suddenly came over.
As soon as Old A turned his head, he saw that Du Yan had opened the two-part glass window at some point, and was lying on top of it to look over.
Old A saw that the young man in front of him had round eyes, looked innocent and ignorant of the world, and when he smiled, his brows and eyes were curved and he had a good temper. Even the frequent occurrence of accidents in this short period of time made Old A very gloomy, and at this moment he felt a little relieved.
"I envy Shen Heng who has a close friend to accompany him wandering around."
"A confidant?" Du Yan pointed to himself, "You mean me?"
Old A felt more and more that Du Yan was cute, and laughed: "Otherwise, who else is there."
Du Yan raised his chin: "That is, Shen Heng is lucky to have me with me."
Seeing the complacent look of the young man, Old A suddenly remembered the pet cat that was often kept in the family before the war. He reached out and wanted to pat the other person's head.
Unexpectedly, the old A raised his hand, and the car stopped suddenly. Du Yan was okay, he was lying on his stomach, even if he braked suddenly, it didn't matter.
Old A was a little miserable. He was talking to Du Yan while twisting his body. When he braked suddenly, the back of his head was directly on the windshield.
Shen Heng also said coolly: "Be careful, don't break the glass, I can't find a windshield with such a good quality to replace."
The windshield of the "giant beast" is extremely strong and can resist the sharp claws of the mutant creatures. Old A was almost sipped into tears by a man, and Shen Heng had to make a claim.
He only felt aggrieved and asked, "Boss Shen, why did you brake suddenly?"
"It's here." Shen Heng glanced at Old A, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Old A rubbed the back of his head, always feeling that Shen Heng looked terrible and gloomy just now. He scratched his hair, thinking that it was probably because of what happened today that he thought too much.
Shen Heng was originally withdrawn and gloomy. This kind of look was normal, and it did not mean that he offended the other party.
Old A had only done his psychological construction, and when he pushed the door and got out of the car, he saw Shen Heng open his hands slightly, with a doting expression on his face, waiting for Du Yan to jump out of the car.
Really hot eyes, old A turned his head and couldn't bear to look directly.
Old A took Shen Heng into the activity center in the center of the settlement, and the two unloaded the anti-radiation drugs from the car and put them into the warehouse. After finishing everything, the three sat down in the reception room.
Shen Heng asked strangely: "Where's Lao Bao? Why haven't I seen him come to receive supplies."
Lao Bao was the one who formed the No. 1, 3, and 5 tribal settlement. He was the leader of this tribe and the most powerful person here. All the public resources of the tribe are under the control of Lao Bao, and now it involves a lot of anti-radiation drugs, but he did not appear, it is indeed a bit strange.
Old A sighed: "Old Bao is missing. In fact, it can't be regarded as missing. I saw him at least three days ago."
Shen Heng frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Old A directly informed Shen Heng of what happened during this time.
Not long after Shen Heng left, an unknown powerful mutant creature suddenly appeared in the tribe. At first, someone was attacked at night. Fortunately, the person who was attacked was an infected person, and his strength was not bad. After getting a little injury, he escaped smoothly.
It's just that the injured person didn't see what the mutant creature that attacked him looked like. He only said that it was extremely fast and had sharp claws. Before he could even react, his arm was scratched.
After that, things got worse and people started dying at night with mutilated bodies. After that, Lao Bao took action and went into ambush at night to try to hunt down the mutant creature.
At that time, Lao A also participated in the hunting operation, but he was not as powerful as Lao Bao. After seeing Lao Bao fighting with the mutant creature, he chased after the mutant creature and disappeared.
After that, Lao A only saw Lao Bao once. It was in the warehouse of the activity center. Lao Bao came back to pick up things and looked in a hurry. At that time, he only said that he was tracking mutant creatures and would take care of things.
After that day, Bao Bao disappeared. After two days of calm in the settlement, people began to disappear again. Old A could only contact Shen Heng and ask him to return quickly to resolve the matter.
"Old Bao is dead?" Shen Heng asked directly.
Although Lao A and Lao Bao are very close friends, the infected have lived for a long time, and they are very light on matters such as life and death.
Listening to Shen Heng's straightforward question, the old A didn't look any different, and replied, "I guess yes, otherwise this mutant creature would not appear again."
"Now I hope you can help find that thing. If it goes on like this, the entire settlement will either run away or die."
Shen Heng nodded: "Old rules."
Old A nodded: "I've prepared things. I'll call the person who has seen the mutant creature, and you can find out the situation."
Old A got up and left, and Du Yan asked, "What are the old rules?"
Shen Heng replied, "I'm actually a bounty hunter. I'm naturally charged for helping them hunt mutant creatures."
Du Yan was a little surprised, and asked, "So you have to collect money for doing things. I thought you were the kind of, um, the kind of hero in the pre-war martial arts novels, who acted as a hero?"
Shen Heng heard the words, and his eyes suddenly became a little disappointed: "Actually, I didn't get paid at first, but later I found out that it was not a good thing."
Having said this, Shen Heng paused again, and asked with some trepidation: "Do you think it's unethical for me to do this?"
Du Yan stared at him seriously and leaned over: "I think you are like this..."
Seeing Shen Heng holding his breath subconsciously, he smiled as he approached: "I think it's good for you to be like this. Free help is not necessarily a good thing."
The two chatted casually for a few words, and saw Old A walking in with someone. Unexpectedly, the two people who came in, one was an infected person, and the other was a pure woman with fair skin.
The infected person and the pure person in front of them are a couple, the infected person's name is Fang Cheng, and the pure person only calls himself A Mei. They were not too surprised when they saw Du Yan. After all, it is not uncommon for the pure to appear in this kind of settlement.
Fang Cheng didn't appear to be injured, while A Mei's arm was wrapped in gauze. They were the survivors after the first day's attack.
Old A said to Fangcheng, "Tell me about what happened that night in detail."
Fang Cheng nodded and said, "That night, it wasn't long before it got dark. We are usually used to walking around the camp after dinner."
Amei continued: "It's in the woods at the back. Although it's a bit remote, it's cleaned up very well. I've never encountered any danger when I went alone before, and I don't know what happened that day."
Fang Cheng said, "That thing is extremely fast, and I felt a strong wind blowing behind me. If it weren't for my perennial vigilance, I would throw Amei to the ground at once, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to keep her whole hand. "
After speaking, Fang Cheng took off his clothes and turned around. I saw a scar on his back, spanning from the left shoulder to the right waist.
The infected person heals very quickly after being injured. It has been a few days now, and the wound has basically healed. Only the pink marks that are different from the surrounding skin indicate that there has been an injury here.
Shen Heng took a closer look and said, "I can't see anything from this scar."
Fang Cheng turned around and said, "Amei, you took off the gauze and showed it to Boss Shen."
Amei nodded and raised her hand to untie the gauze wrapped around her arm. She wasn't injured too badly, but the wound still looked a bit hideous due to her physique.
Shen Heng looked at the wound on A Mei's hand again and said, "From the traces, it doesn't look like a mutant creature I've seen."
He thought about it for a while, and then asked Fang Cheng: "When this mutant creature was approaching, you didn't notice it at all? Including the smell?"
Shen Heng asked this question because the five senses of the infected are far more sensitive than those of the pure. Logically speaking, even if the mutant creature moves fast and silently, it is impossible to completely cover up the aura on the body.
Fang Cheng said: "Yes, it doesn't seem to have the smell of any beasts or insects on it. When it rushed over, I would be unconscious."
Old A added: "At that time, Lao Bao and I were able to detect it in time because it killed some people and smelled blood. Now that I think about it, it seems that apart from the smell of blood, there is indeed no smell of beasts or insects. "
