Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Ye Zhou didn't expect that he would arrive before Zou Ming and Wu Yan. He set off after learning what had happened from Aunt Li - but unfortunately, he got lost.
From birth to yesterday, Ye Zhou thought he had a good sense of direction.
Friends and classmates don't need to remember the way when they travel with him. Ye Zhou can remember it firmly as long as he walks through it once, and he has never made a mistake.
So he took it for granted that he would not get lost this time, even at night.
After all, the road will not change even at night. Just in case, Ye Zhou not only took a gun, but also wore night vision contact lenses.
When he found himself lost, Ye Zhou was already deep in the woods. He had no choice but to find a direction and continue walking. If he couldn't get out in two hours and couldn't find his way, Ye Zhou was going to stay where he was Wait for dawn.
Fortunately, he hadn't walked for long before he saw Cao'er standing in the dark and the thugs not far from Cao'er.
He could see someone crawling and approaching Cao'er from the side, but it was impossible for Cao'er without any night vision equipment to see clearly.
The rustling of grass leaves made by the man crawling was also covered by the chirping of insects and the whirling of grass and trees when the wind moved them.
Ye Zhou fired a shot almost subconsciously, but after he fired the shot, he almost sat on the ground due to the recoil, and swayed a few times before he stabilized his body. He took the gun from the warehouse casually, and it was one of the guns used by the Luoyang base to pay off debts.
The problem is that this gun was originally a defective product.
But Ye Zhou didn't want to expose his "weakness" to the employees, so he smiled at Cao'er: "Leave one."
After these words came out, Cao'er and Zhou Wen immediately found the backbone, and Ye Zhou also threw them two night vision goggles, but they were not invisible, just put them on the bridge of their noses.
Ye Zhou reloaded the bullet, and he set up the gun. This time, the gun was aimed at the blond man lying on the ground.
The evening wind was blowing in the crowd, and the thugs seemed to be reacting at this moment. They were unable to fight against the three people who suddenly appeared. They had strangely loud and powerful force in their hands. The contempt for women just now made them Illusions of self-defense.
But now, the illusion was dispelled by fear and disappeared without a trace.
This time Ye Zhou didn't kill him. He aimed at the man's calf in the grass and shot him without hesitation.
After the gunshot, Ye Zhou looked around: "Anyone who doesn't want to die gets down!"
Someone squatted down tremblingly, and after a few seconds, he slowly prostrated himself on the ground.
Ye Zhou shouted again: "People in the room don't come out!"
Fortunately, the family in the house never thought of opening the door to go out. They didn't hear Ye Zhou's voice, but they heard Cao'er's voice before. Even if they didn't know what happened outside the house, their intuition told them, There is danger outside.
Cao'er and Zhou Wen, who were wearing night vision glasses, stopped panicking after they could see their surroundings clearly.
Cao'er turned her head to look at Ye Zhou who was walking towards her with a gun, she didn't even realize that her voice became full of dependence: "Immortal, what should I do with these people?"
Ye Zhou didn't bring any rope, so he could only say to Cao'er, "Go to that family to borrow some rope, and tie them up first."
He said with some disgust: "This is the person brought by Hamm, of course he has to bear the consequences."
Cao'er nodded, she was not afraid of anything now, she trotted through the grass and passed by the group of prostrate men, no one dared to stop her.
After half an hour, the three of them finally tied up all the thugs, not even letting their feet go.
This group of people cooperated very well when they were tied up. No one dared to beg Ye Zhou and Zhou Wen for mercy, but Cao'er, no matter who she tied up, that person would beg for mercy with tears in their eyes.
"Let me go, I didn't do anything! I was threatened!"
"We didn't do anything, just wanted to borrow something!"
"We are good people, really good people!"
The five-year-old man looked at Cao'er with tears in his eyes, which made Cao'er's scalp tingle. She would rather these people be vicious than see their pitiful appearance with their eyes widened and trying to hold back their tears.
So she yelled, "Shut up! Or I'll cut off your nose and put it in your mouth, and make you swallow it!"
The thugs finally stopped crying and just lay on the ground, wriggling like caterpillars, looking for a chance to escape.
Ye Zhou walked towards the leader of the thug who was hit in the calf by him and was trying to get up with his hands on the ground. He just stood beside him, watching him struggle with all his might.
The wicked are no stronger than the good in the face of this situation.
Bullying the good and fearing the evil, no matter how hard his fist is, his essence is nothing but a coward.
Ye Zhou squatted down, and he grabbed the man's back collar. With a little force, the man couldn't escape his head and saw Ye Zhou's face in a twisted posture.
They met yesterday, and the man recognized Ye Zhou immediately.
Ye Zhou didn't remember who this person was, he saw no difference between thugs, ordinary thugs and the leader of thugs were the same.
"I thought you had some backbone." Ye Zhou frowned. He saw extreme fear on the other person's face the moment he raised his head. To resist, has lost the courage to resist.
Ye Zhou has seen a lot of people like this, and this is the first person he killed.
It's just that the other party was going crazy at the time.
In order to avoid "misunderstanding" and prevent Hamm from haggling with him, Ye Zhou didn't do anything directly.
The man stared at Ye Zhou. He didn't know that Ye Zhou had seen through his weak nature. He gritted his teeth and said, "You have the ability to kill me! My brothers will avenge me!"
"Not now." Ye Zhou stood up again, stepped on the man's back, and then hit the back of the man's head with the butt of his gun, which made the man let out a scream.
Only then did the family in the house come out of the house trembling.
The whole family woke up when the door was knocked, knowing what was going to happen even though they couldn't see what was going on outside the door.
They are in shock now, but they all know they are safe.
The whole family moved close to Cao'er.
"Miss Leila..." the old woman talked to Cao'er tremblingly.
She is the only one who is familiar with Cao'er in this family.
Strictly speaking, Laila is not a person's name, but the name of a local weed. Cao'er didn't even have an English name, so she just used a local grass as her name.
Cao'er immediately put a smile on the old woman's face when she saw it, even though she was very tired now.
This old woman didn't look like Gu Li at all. She looked more cowardly than Gu Li. When she was in the village, her mother dared to "reason" with the villagers by herself with a kitchen knife.
Women in the village, whoever has a good temper, will not have a good life.
Her own men would beat and scold her, let alone outsiders.
Therefore, the women in the village are either old scalpers in the family, or shrews, who are more daring than men.
But when Cao'er looked at the timid old woman in front of her, she still thought of Aunt Li on the way to escape.
In the end, both of them were dying, and every time they went to beg for food, Aunt Li let Cao'er hide, and she went up alone, occasionally asking for some plant roots or bark, and occasionally getting a beating.
That's not the mother Cao'er knew, the weak, cowardly old woman who knelt on the ground begging, and squeezed out a flattering smile was not the mother she knew.
But at that time, Cao'er had no strength. She always thought that she would die before her mother. A wound on her body had begun to rot, and the only way to heal it was to cut off the carrion with sharp stone flakes, and then burn it with fire. Go burn.
Until now, she still has the scar of burnt flesh on her thigh.
No matter how hot the weather is, the women in the supermarket put on shorts, and she also wears cropped pants.
She also knows that as long as she asks the immortal, the immortal will definitely give her the magic medicine that can remove the scar.
But she didn't know why she didn't speak, and she didn't plan to remove the scar.
She also understood why her mother urged her to make progress.
It's not that her mother doesn't feel sorry for her, but her mother knows better that it's useless to feel sorry for her.
But at that time, no one but mother cared about her, but now she can love old women like her mother.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Cao'er looked at the old woman with a gentle expression, "You guys move to the town tomorrow, it's still dangerous here, and there's no one around."
Although the thugs came out of the town, this is more proof of the safety of the town.
These thugs are not stupid, at least not so stupid as to look for "prey" in the small town.
There are people everywhere, and neighbors are next door. No matter how you think about it, it is safer than living in a barren mountain with a family around you.
The old woman immediately said: "Move, tomorrow..."
As for the sons returning and finding them missing, let the sons ask.
Cao'er shook her head: "Go and pack your things now, or you don't have to pack them up, and go to town with us later, come back tomorrow to pack your luggage, and remember to lock the door."
The old woman nodded again and again: "Okay, okay."
Cao'er looked at the three little girls who were shrinking behind her father. The oldest of them was only 12 years old. Because of malnutrition, she looked like she was no more than ten years old. If they hadn't come tonight, if they hadn't noticed this The thugs leave...
Cao'er shivered, she looked at the group of thugs lying on the ground wriggling like worms or motionless, this group of people didn't look like human anymore, no, they were not human in the first place.
Cao'er wiped her face, she gave a wry smile.
They are men, and only men can be so bad, only men can be more vicious than beasts.
·
"Ah--" Ye Zhou sneezed, he touched his arm, and the night wind had already made goose bumps.
Just as he was about to move his feet off the leading man's back, there was a sound behind him. Ye Zhou turned his head and saw Zou Ming and Wu Yan walking towards this side at a glance.
In a good mood, he raised his arms and waved at Zou Ming and the others. After they approached, Ye Zhou took his feet back and stepped on the grass again.
Zou Ming looked down at the man lying face down on the ground, and asked, "Don't kill him?"
Ye Zhou shook his head: "After all, he belongs to Ham, let's see if Ham is willing to spend money."
But even if Hamm is willing to save him, the leg that was shot will be crippled, and he can only be a cripple in this life. A cripple cannot be a thug, and it is a pain not to die. The things he depends on for his life have been destroyed. , Those who he offended can step on him.
Zou Ming didn't know what Ye Zhou was thinking, he just looked at Ye Zhou's profile.
After a moment of trance, Zou Ming said: "Then take them back now."
Ye Zhou: "No, you see who will come and bring Ham over. Today is the end of today. Don't wait until dawn."
Wu Yan glanced at Zou Ming, he had an inexplicable feeling that he was an outsider, but he didn't dare to say more, didn't dare to ask more, and honestly lowered his head and said, "Immortal, I'll go back."
"Be careful, do you have a flashlight?" Ye Zhou asked.
Wu Yan nodded: "Bring it."
Having just arrived and was about to rush back, Wu Yan felt that he was born to be a hard worker.
But he didn't go by himself, he brought the family of five with him.
Cao'er and Zhou Wen looked at the group of thugs lying around the wooden house, while Ye Zhou stood in the grass with Zou Ming.
The thug leader had stopped moving, but he wasn't dead, just bleeding from his calf.
Ye Zhou looked at the blood flowing out of the wound, and after thinking for two seconds, he still said: "You have to treat the wound for him, otherwise he will die if he loses too much blood."
But Ye Zhou didn't touch him far away, and he was even less willing to save him. It was Ye Zhou's kindness not to step on the other's wound.
So Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming.
Zou Ming: "I'll come."
I don't know why, but Ye Zhou actually saw the emotion called "doting" in Zou Ming's calm eyes. Ye Zhou couldn't help shivering when he thought of this word.
Zou Ming knelt down to stop the man's bleeding, but his actions were brutal.
It hurts you to death even if you don't bleed to death.
The man who was still motionless just now, who looked like a dead man, let out a scream like a pig being killed, so horribly that even the thug lying on the ground in the distance could not help but tremble.
Ye Zhou didn't look down to see how Zou Ming stopped the man's bleeding. He only knew that after Zou Ming looked, the wound on the man's leg had indeed stopped bleeding.
"Why have you been walking for so long?" Ye Zhou asked just now, but before returning, he waited for a coat first.
Zou Ming's body temperature was still on the jacket.
Ye Zhou was taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Zou Ming.
Zou Ming remained expressionless, as if he hadn't done anything just now, or as if he had just done something so normal that there was no need to feel abnormal.
Gently, Ye Zhou sighed in his heart.
Neither of them spoke, but they didn't feel embarrassed. I don't know when Ye Zhou started to get used to having a man of few words by his side. He often seemed to not exist, but he was everywhere. He is tall and big, but has a very thin heart.
"Will you be in danger if you go back?" Ye Zhou asked.
He knew that when he went to a certain plane, he would definitely meet Zou Ming when he was a child.
Now this Zou Ming will return to his original plane.
The timeline is different, and they won't meet again for a while.
Zou Ming shook his head: "No, the base is now in my hands."
When he carried the head of the previous city lord to the highest point of the base in the sea of corpses and blood, when the fire started to burn that night, no one in the base dared to resist him anymore.
"Tell me about your time there." Ye Zhou took off the translator, "What happened after I left."
Zou Ming also took off the translator.
That's not a good memory.
"The ruler of the base is surnamed Zhao." Zou Ming said, "He trained me after you left."
Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Training?"
Zou Ming: "He wants to train me to be the most loyal dog under his command."
Zou Ming has seen the most extreme evil in human nature in him. He has no restraint and no scruples. He is like a beast without humanity. Everyone must take his will as his will and his likes and dislikes as his likes and dislikes.
The man surnamed Zhao does not have strong military force. He is a weak man with a pair of sinister and disgusting eyes.
But Zou Ming also learned a truth from him.
To become a ruler, one must rely on force or intelligence, but no matter which one is used, one must be the strongest, so strong that there is no opponent.
The one surnamed Zhao relies on intelligence, balances the forces of all parties, and relies on continuously squeezing civilians to support the high-level ruling base.
And he relied on force, blood and fists, suppressed all forces, and violently dismantled their ruling base.
So even if he killed Zhao and took over the base, he still adopted a high-handed rule.
But Zou Ming didn't tell Ye Zhou that in his mouth, after Ye Zhou left his plane, he became a "rich man" honestly, living on the property that Ye Zhou left him, and occasionally He also went out to look for supplies, and then signed a contract while looking for supplies, and became a bodyguard who could travel between different planes.
When he said this, Zou Ming looked a little sad. He lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Actually, I'm not sure I'll meet you."
There are too many planes, and the chance of finding someone is infinitely close to nothing. He has also been desperate, and even resented Ye Zhou. He hoped that Ye Zhou would never show up, otherwise he would have died long ago, so there would be no gouge. The heart-wrenching pain, and the desperate search but finally found no hope.
Ye Zhou listened quietly. He heard Zou Ming say, "The day I came here, I thought I was hallucinating."
He saw a "immature" Ye Zhou. At that time, Ye Zhou was completely different from the person he remembered, not so strong, not so calm. He got to know Ye Zhou again.
Just like what Ye Zhou said before, he actually couldn't tell whether his feelings for Ye Zhou were admiration for his elders or love.
After all, he was not an adult when Ye Zhou left him, and Ye Zhou meant too much to him.
It is his guardian, his guide, and the only place where all his feelings rest.
Ye Zhou played too many roles, so many that he couldn't tell his own feelings.
It wasn't until he met Ye Zhou, who hadn't grown up, that he really understood his feelings.
"You never thought of telling me before I found out?" Ye Zhou asked.
Zou Ming smiled, that smile was a bit bitter: "I told you at the time, would you believe it? Even if you believed it, I am still a stranger to you."
Feelings that have never been experienced, are they considered feelings?
He didn't want to lie to Ye Zhou when he didn't know anything.
Ye Zhou thought about it, and felt that this was also the case.
If Zou Ming had told him at that time, his first reaction would have been that this person was crazy. Even if he believed it, he would not have any feelings for Zou Ming because of it—I have never experienced what you said, how could I Could it be the person you said?
Ye Zhou: "You're right."
"Then when will you leave?"
Now that he has unlocked two more planes, he just needs to wait until he gets the money before he can jump between planes.
Zou Ming said, "You won't know until you decide where to go to the next plane."
Ye Zhou was taken aback: "In those two planes?"
Zou Ming nodded.
Ye Zhou: "...Can't you tell me directly?"
Zou Ming was silent for a while, and finally said: "I can't influence your decision."
"Alright then." Ye Zhou sighed.
In fact, the locations of the two planes that can be seen now look similar, and both have no names, only numbers.
One is 368 and one is 276.
This can only be done blindly.
There is simply no room for choice.
The system may also learn badly and know to create obstacles.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw a light not far away. Wu Yan was leading Hamm towards this side, and there was a mighty group of people behind them, including supermarket employees and Hamm. thugs.
The thugs all followed Ham obediently, probably because they couldn't see the situation here clearly.
It may also be because the flashlight in Wu Yan's hand frightened them.
In short, they now look as well-behaved as sheep.
But even if they suddenly rioted against Ye Zhou, he didn't care. As long as he had a gun, Chen Shu and Zou Ming could finish them off.
Ham walked into the grass, and he closed his eyes in despair.
It was finally negotiated to add four more lamps, and maybe one less.
Are these people made of sticks!That's the only thing that comes to mind?Obviously he had already paid them to go to the brothel before coming here!
Hamm was so angry that he wanted to rush over and strangle the one closest to him.
This is simply spending money to make trouble for yourself.
"Mr. Zhou..." Although Hamm knew in his heart that he was wrong and that he was about to bleed, he still pretended to be ignorant on the surface, hoping to confuse the matter, "Maybe they really went to Borrower, isn’t it that nothing has been done? Since nothing has been done and no harm has been done, it’s meaningless to delve deeper into this matter.”
"Well, I paid for that family's house in the town." Hamm looked like he was bleeding heavily.
But the most expensive house in the town is only two gold coins, and a house for a family of seven costs at most forty silver coins.
Ye Zhou watched Ham walking in front of him alone, and felt that the other party had good eyesight. He shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Mr. Ham, how do you think these people should be dealt with?"
Hamm: "..."
Of course, he would not be stingy with the lives of these people, he even wished that these people would simply die.
But he couldn't do it, two-thirds of the guys he brought were thugs, and the rest were his own guys.
If he doesn't protect them, even if they dare not attack him here, on the way back...
Hamm shuddered.
He felt that he was simply unlucky.
"After all, they haven't caused any damage." Hamm laughed, "Anyway, we're leaving soon."
Ham sighed, and begged in a low voice: "Boss Zhou, think about it for me too. It's easy to kill a few, but there are so many that can't be killed. But if I don't kill them all, I can't let them go, go back." What if I die on the way?"
"I'm just a businessman. I haven't spent so much money on my own." Hamm was almost desperate.
Ye Zhou thought about it, and felt that what Hamm said was right, he himself was not in any trouble, but Hamm probably lost his life.
Although he didn't like Hamm very much, to him, Hamm was just a buyer and a person with completely different thinking. He couldn't be a friend or have any relationship at all.
But after all, there are business contacts, and it is really difficult for him to kill the donkey.
Ye Zhou: "Then forty tonight, no, 38 will stay with me first. With these people as hostages, the thugs who send you back will not dare to attack you. It depends on how these people arrange after you leave." How about me?"
Ham nodded again and again: "Okay, okay."
Even if these thugs want to come back to find their "big brother", it has nothing to do with him.
Ye Zhou smiled at Ham: "As for my buddy's hard work today..."
Hamm said very kindly: "Two gold coins per person."
Ye Zhou nodded, and the two profiteers looked at each other, and they both thought this was a good way to deal with it.
As for the two dead thugs, neither of them mentioned it.
As long as the leader of the thugs is not dead, it is not yet time to fight these thugs to the death.
What's more, Ye Zhou didn't know if there were any temporary recruits among the "little brothers" of these leaders. Those people shouldn't pay for other people's mistakes.
