Chapter 14: The Murder at Dawn
The captain first signaled the two people accompanying to put down their weapons. With his combat power, he probably was knocked out by Luo You's desert eagle before he could even pull the trigger. Then he pointed to the magnetic track sniper rifle that was pressed against his head, pointed at Luo You's feet, and smiled mockingly, saying, "There's no need to step on me. Since things have developed to this point, there's nothing to hide. Just try to talk to each other happily."
Luo You kept his current posture without moving, and didn't even have the insurance on the gun, and still said condescendingly: "Just talk like this."
"You..." The captain was completely out of temper. Only such perverted vigilance could be achieved in the wilderness. He spread his hands with his fate, and said as if he was not afraid of boiling water. "Then let's talk about it like this, don't go around. I'll give you a clear idea. We don't trust you. Although you don't want supplies or money, we can't guarantee whether you will rob the women at our base, especially Ling. Several waves of bandits have attacked us for Ling before, causing us to suffer heavy losses. We don't know where you are. We really don't dare to take this risk anymore. We can only choose to attack you at night."
"You should hand over the person directly." Luo You said coldly, "or use her for supplies and weapons, or even bring her to the powerful people in big cities as slaves. Those people like young girls like Ling the most. In this way, you may also win the opportunity to move into the city and rest assured from now on, but you chose to protect her and choose the stupidest and most profitless approach."
"What a joke!" The captain was angry. He grabbed Luo You's ankle, and his hand was thrusting with blue veins due to excessive force. He gritted his teeth, "Women are also humans, not goods! Don't confuse me with those unscrupulous beasts!"
"The unscrupulous beasts you talk about can often live longer." Luo You was not talking about his subjective ideas, but just speaking about the objective facts of the current world.
This is the truth. People with consciences gradually died, and people with despicable conscience adapted to the cruel world and survived. The collapsed world became even more broken, and thus lost all hope.
"Get back to the point." Luo You didn't want to waste his talk on the naive issue of good or bad right or wrong, so he went back to the point, "Give me the answer, believe me, or don't believe me?"
Luo You has made comprehensive plans now. If you believe it, then fight side by side. If you don’t believe it, then leave, use the base as bait, lurk in the distance to snipe and bet on luck. It is best to shoot the opponent’s highest-level evolver with one shot, so that the battle will be much easier in the future.
Before the captain recovered from his previous anger, his face turned red and white. It took him no idea how long he said powerlessly: "You have said it long ago, we have no choice."
"Smart." Luo You took back his feet, put away his gun, and said calmly, "There will be a small team here to meet me tomorrow morning. There are six people in total. The leader is a big man, so that your people will not stop them."
"I understand." The captain was kicked by Luo You before, and his ribs were crooked. With the help of his two companions, he stood up with difficulty and said in a low voice, "No one will disturb you anymore tonight, you can sleep with peace of mind."
"You don't have to worry about this."
"All right..."
...
The cold night is passing by, dawn is approaching, everything is immersed in the haze...
The loess continent dotted with glimmers outside the window, and the sky broke through the dark rays of light. Everything rendered the whole world like an ancient miracle, revealing a hazy and mysterious atmosphere everywhere. The dim light in the room also brought a trace of tranquility, making people immersed.
Luo You opened his eyes. He was not lost in this tranquility, because he knew that all this was just a hypocritical illusion. When the sun rose completely, it still illuminated this broken wasteland...
The captain kept his promises. Luo You did not get "harassed" again that night. He also had a good rest. No matter how strong the evolver is, he is still a human being. If he doesn't rest, he will definitely collapse.
Because the genius had just dawned, except for a few survivors who were watching, most of them were still dreaming, but Luo You found a familiar figure outside a tent.
"My favorite is dawn. When the sun rises and drives away the cold, I feel that the world is full of hope." Ling, who was sitting on the ground and looking at the sky, suddenly spoke.
Luo You was speechless and didn't even care about her. This talkative person could even talk to herself.
Ling didn't care about Luo You's coldness at all, and said with a smile: "I don't know your name yet."
Luo You ignored her. Anyway, the two of them were just passers-by, so there would be no intersection after this mission, and they would basically not be able to see her in the future. There is no need to tell her the name, not to mention whether this girl without combat ability can survive this mission.
Seeing Luo You not speaking, Ling ran to him, grabbed his cloak and said, "Oh, just tell me, you know my name, it's unfair."
Luo You really has no temper: "Luo You."
"Luo You?" Ling opened his eyes wide and suddenly bent over with a smile, "What a 'beautiful' name, just like a girl."
Luo You was very helpless, Arnold and Ling were the same. Everyone who knew his name seemed to complain about it like a girl, but the parents gave him this name. What can I do?
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh at your name. This is rude." Ling said this, but he still covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Seeing that he couldn't help laughing, she turned the subject with a red face, "Are all the things you said to the adults yesterday true? Is there really someone going to attack our base?"
"kindness."
Ling opened his eyes wide, jumped to Luo You, grinned, showed his cute little white teeth, and said, "Then will you protect me?"
"No." Luo You didn't scare Ling. He didn't know whether he could escape unscathed. Where did he get the time to protect a girl he didn't know.
"Ah!..." Ling became a little distressed, but did not mean to blame Luo You, but began to keep pace, "What should I do? I don't know how to use a gun, nor have I fought, by the way! You are so powerful, why don't you teach me martial arts! It's the kind of martial arts that can become very strong after practicing for a day!"
"..." Luo You was so angry that he couldn't speak anymore. He didn't know if Ling was mentally retarded or naive.
Just when Luo You didn't know how to answer, the sleepy sentry on the earthen wall suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Beware! Beware! A team is approaching!"
