On the first night, Shen Heng and Lao A agreed on the time at eight in the morning. It's past seven fifty now. But after a while, Old A walked in through the door.
The moment he saw Lao Bao, he was stunned, and then with an expression of surprise on his face, he went up to hug Lao Bao and patted the other person on the back.
Old A's reaction means that the person below is indeed Old Bao, and there is nothing unusual about it.
Seeing this, Shen Heng pulled Du Yan downstairs.
When Lao Bao saw the two of them coming down, he also greeted them with a smile, and he spoke very politely: "Boss Shen, it's been a long time, I really want to trouble you this time."
Several people sat down on the sofa in the hall and began to discuss things about mutant creatures.
Old A told Old Bao everything that happened during this time, including asking Shen Heng to hunt down the mutant creature.
Du Yan didn't speak, and still looked like he didn't exist behind Shen Heng. He was observing Lao Bao, who was very nervous and in a bad mood.
Different from the kindness on the surface, Lao Bao seems to be somewhat hostile to Shen Heng and is extremely defensive. Du Yan thought about it for a while, weighed his own situation, and felt that he still couldn't start when the other party was on high alert.
Just wait and see, and look for another opportunity.
Old A has put the severed hand on the table and said, "I have discussed with Boss Shen, and today I will chase the bloodstains to find the mutant creature's lair."
Unexpectedly, Lao Bao said directly: "You don't have to go, the matter is resolved."
Shen Heng frowned slightly, looked over, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Heng's words sounded a bit blunt, but Lao Bao didn't feel anything wrong. Shen Heng was a person who was not good at sociability, and he usually spoke like this.
Old Bao smiled and said, "Actually, it's all thanks to you. I am lying in ambush in the mutant creature's lair for a few days. I saw it come back with injuries last night, and I happened to kill it casually. After that, the camp is safe, don't worry."
Old A was overjoyed, with a smile on his face, he sat directly over Lao Bao's shoulder, and asked, "Good news! Dude, did you really kill that thing? What about the missing person?"
Old Bao shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I was a step too late. The missing pure ones have probably been eaten by him as food, and there are only some stumps left in the old nest."
Old A patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "This is also something that can't be done. It's a good result to have no worries after today."
Brotherhood is being staged over there, and Lao Bao is still a little worried about the fact that many people died in the camp. Here, Du Yan hugs the pillow and hides a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Unlike the silly and sweet old A, this old Bao is really a deep-minded person. When he mentioned the victims in his heart, there was no fluctuation, but a sad and powerless expression appeared on his face.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Du Yan really wanted to applaud and praise his good acting skills.
Shen Heng was a straight-forward character, and he didn't think it would be inappropriate to speak up and stimulate Lao Bao at this time.
He frowned and thought for a while, then asked directly: "Since you killed that mutant creature, what about the corpse? I want to see it."
At that time, when I saw the monster's lair, I saw it inside, and my heart ached when I ate the corpse of the pure one on the way, and the fire burned it.
Old Bao answered quickly and didn't look like he was lying.
Shen Heng asked again: "Then you should see clearly, what exactly is that mutant creature?"
Old Bao replied: "Well, although the mutation is a bit severe, after I looked closely, I thought it should be a chimpanzee. I didn't expect that such an animal with a high IQ before the war would maintain a certain IQ after the mutation, which is quite difficult. deal with."
Old A nodded: "Chimpanzees are still gregarious animals. Fortunately, one appeared this time. If it was a group, we would have to finish the whole camp."
Lao A has completely believed Lao Bao's words. Under the radiation, animals will mutate, insects will become giant, and any direction of mutation is possible. In addition, chimpanzees are extremely close to humans, and after mutation, it makes sense that their forelimbs become like human hands.
Although Shen Heng still had some doubts in his heart, the entire attack happened in a tribe living in one, three and five, and the people who died were also members of the tribe.
Now that the tribal leader Lao Bao claimed that the matter had been settled, it was inconvenient for Shen Heng to interfere more. Since the hunting commission has been suspended, Shen Heng did not intend to delay any more time here, and immediately got up and said goodbye.
Lao Bao is very good at being a man. The payment taken from the warehouse is not only the part of delivering anti-radiation medicine, but also the payment for hunting mutant creatures.
Shen Heng pushed the thing back and said, "You killed that mutant creature. I haven't completed my mission, so I can't accept it."
But Lao Bao insisted on pushing the thing back and said, "You can't say that, if you hadn't cut off its forelimbs, I probably wouldn't have been able to beat him last night, and he might even be killed, so it's up to you and us. to get through this crisis.”
Old A nodded again and again: "That's right."
Shen Heng no longer refused, and took Du Yan and got up to go out.
Old A and Shen Heng went to pick up the car, Du Yan made an excuse not to follow him, but stood at the door waiting for him.
Seeing Shen Heng's back disappearing, Du Yan turned to look at Lao Bao and walked over.
He stood directly in front of Lao Bao, and before he opened his mouth, he looked at him and smiled.
Old Bao was stunned for a moment. He was stared at by such a delicate-looking young man with a contagious smile, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Du Yan blinked and stared at Lao Bao with admiration on his face: "I just think you are amazing, Shen Heng couldn't catch that strange creature last night, you actually killed it directly. Now, he is really more powerful than Shen Heng!"
The expression on Lao Bao's face was a little stiff, and he waved his hands again and again: "Nothing, I just have good luck, good luck."
"Can you tell me what the situation was like at the time?"
Seeing that the other party was looking forward to it, Lao Bao had to start narrating what happened last night. Du Yan nodded while listening, and from time to time he raised a few questions that sounded very innocent and ignorant of the world.
Old Bao said more and more vigorously. At this moment, Du Yan suddenly asked: "Did you take anti-radiation medicine when you came back?"
Lao Bao looked at the beautiful eyes in front of him, and somehow replied, "Yes..."
He was only in a trance for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and asked, "Ah? What did you just ask, I didn't understand."
Du Yan smiled and shook his head: "No, ah, Shen Heng is here, goodbye!"
***
The "giant beast" drove out of the camp all the way, and Du Yan lay on his seat, watching the sentry he saw when he came the day before being thrown farther and farther away. After they were far away, the machine gun tower on the sentry began to turn alert again, and then saw Old A coming out of the sentry tower and waving from a distance.
Du Yan turned around and asked, "Why didn't you insist on going to the mutant creature's lair to have a look?"
Shen Heng stared intently at the road and said lightly, "If it were me many years ago, I might have insisted on taking a look and had to find out what happened. But now I can't... "
Du Yan asked, "Why?"
Whenever someone else asked this question, Shen Heng would force the other person back with a fierce look, expressing that he was unwilling to answer. However, when he met Du Yan, he could only explain patiently: "It's the current rules of conduct for bounty hunters. Take money to do things. Unless it is entrusted by others, you can't interfere too much."
Shen Heng paused for a moment and added: "Plus this matter is not a big deal, so let's just pass it on."
However, Du Yan reached out and pinched Shen Heng's ear, and said, "You're lying. You clearly care so much that you are scratching your lungs. You have to pretend that you don't care. I can see through it at a glance."
Shen Heng didn't deny it, didn't speak, just kept silent.
Seeing this, Du Yan continued: "Well, let me give you a reason to stop the car first."
Shen Heng obediently leaned the car to the side of the road, the car was about to stop, and Du Yan rushed over.
In a familiar posture again, Du Yan raised his hand and hugged Shen Heng's neck and said, "I don't care, I'm very curious about this thing, if you want to see people die, you want to see corpses, even if it is burned to ashes, I have to Look what it is,"
"… "
Du Yan didn't care about Shen Heng's reaction, and continued: "You know I'm very curious, if you don't let me see this monster's nest, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and I won't be able to sleep tomorrow, as fragile as me. If you don't sleep for a few nights, you might die."
Shen Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You're getting more and more skilled at cheating now."
Du Yan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "This trick is the most useful for you, how about it, turn around and go back."
Shen Heng nodded and cooperated with his performance: "I really can't do anything about you. It's just the default rule among bounty hunters. How can it compare to the big thing that you can't sleep well."
The two didn't say more, just turned around and drove back along the way they came. Shen Heng found a hidden place to hide the "giant beast", and then sneaked into the camp with Du Yan.
After entering the camp, Shen Heng asked Du Yan, "Where do you think we should go?"
"activity Center."
The two said in unison, then smiled at each other.
Du Yan asked, "Why do you think so?"
Shen Heng replied: "Intuition, I have intuition that Lao Bao will go there. How about you?"
Shen Heng spoke frankly, but Du Yan replied, "Secret."
Shen Heng didn't bother with him, but felt that when the other party talked about secrets, he was like a mischievous little animal. He rubbed Du Yan's hair habitually, and then picked him up.
"Come on, I'll take you to a hidden place."
Du Yan pouted and complained, "Why do I think you are getting more and more comfortable with your hugs? I have the dignity of a man!"
Shen Heng glanced at him and raised his chin to signal: "Can you climb up that cliff?"
Du Yan's answer was to hold Shen Heng's neck tightly and said, "Go, summon the beast!"
