Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

========================

"Hello, have you seen this before?"

"never seen it."

"do not know."

"I don't know, go to another house and ask."

"Don't buy anything and go, don't hinder my business."

"Hey, what kind of treasure is this? It's very beautiful. Do you want to sell it? I'll give you four silver coins."

Xiu opened the door and left, standing on the side of the street and letting out a long sigh.

The sun was three poles high, the sky was cloudless, and the blinding sun shone on the fortress city.The farce when entering the city and the whole morning running around made Xiu hungry and thirsty, but all the money on his body was hacked by Seite, his sleeves were clear, his stomach was empty, and he ran into obstacles everywhere without hearing the news. Life in the fortress city is not much easier than in the wild , especially for him, a "black household".

Xiu felt a little dejected, sat on the stone chair beside the moat, hid in the shade of a tree and wiped his sweat.

According to the stone carving map in the public area, Tinis City covers the entire estuary and occupies a vast area. The city is divided into four areas: North District, West District, South District, and Jiangxinzhou at the eastern estuary. Each area is divided into different blocks. , and each block takes the bulletin board in the center of the block as the core and radiates outward.From the map, Tinis City presents a state of a large circle surrounded by countless small circles, crowded but orderly.

After running around for a whole morning, Xiu has not finished running a block. If he wants to run all over the small streets and alleys of Tinis City, it may take a week or even longer. Dip, especially after a full meal last night, the body's hunger response is stronger, and the stomach is already throbbing with hunger.

Xiu rubbed his stomach: "Let's find a way to survive first and ask for news... After so many years, I'm not in a hurry."

Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly paused when he touched his ribs.

"...What happened just now, I was hurt by your ribs and diaphragm."

Is it that annoying?

Xiu touched along the side of his chest, one, two, three... Not to mention, he counted each one clearly, and it felt very skinny to the touch.

Xiu recalled his wandering experience and counted carefully. The number of times he was able to have a full meal was not many. Sustaining three meals a day was already his limit. Going hungry was a common occurrence. He never cared about it, but now someone suddenly mentioned , I feel very uncomfortable.

Who doesn't want to have three meals a day, but...

The city is very crowded, the streets and alleys are full of people, some people are busy running, some people are idle, some people are happy with the situation, some people bully the city, they live in this fortress, protected by the city wall, nourished by the river , there is food and water, and more importantly, the maintenance of social status.

someone.

many people.

There are many of its kind.

For creatures with social attributes like human beings, there is nothing that brings a greater sense of security than living in groups.He also wants to end this wandering life, even if he is not here, even in a dark alley, he is willing to stay.

However, he couldn't stay.

He is a superhuman.

After the end of the world, the planet has mutated from insects and fungi to birds and beasts, including humans. This variation gradually stabilized a hundred years ago, and two new species were born.

Aliens and aliens.

For strange beasts, human beings hate to the bone; for supernatural beings, human beings have more complicated feelings.

For 200 years, human beings have been fighting against alien beasts until the emergence of supernatural beings, but human beings have always been at a disadvantage. In the end, they had to build a fortress city and hide in it, just to survive.

Compared with ordinary people, people with supernatural powers are too powerful. An ordinary person with supernatural abilities can equal an army formed by ordinary people.Human beings need the protection of supernatural beings, and are extremely dependent on supernatural beings, but this overwhelming power will cause human anxiety and panic, coupled with the depression of living in the last days, the invasion of strange beasts is still delayed. Unable to see the despair of the re-prosperity of human civilization, the supernatural beings have become the targets of human accusations and vent their emotions.

Human beings need supernatural beings, but they cannot truly accept supernatural beings. Even in their eyes, supernatural beings are no longer human beings, but aliens.

People can accept different kinds, but human beings can't.

This is one of the reasons why Xiu became a homeless person, and another reason is in his arms.

"Don't think about it."

Xiu shook his head, driving Seth's voice out: "This kind of insignificant matter is fine no matter what."

He took back all his wild thoughts, and now the most important thing is to solve the problem of food and accommodation. He said he would stay in the city for at least a week, and he had to at least survive before hearing the news.

Xiu looked around, found a restaurant with the best business and went in.

"Hey, sir, what do you want to eat?" The man greeted someone enthusiastically when he saw someone coming to the door.

"No, no need," Xiu swallowed, and forcibly looked away from other people's dining tables, "Excuse me, are you recruiting?"

"hiring?"

Seeing that the person was not here for dinner, the waiter immediately changed his face and raised his eyebrows impatiently: "You? What can you do?"

"I can do anything, and I don't need wages, as long as I can get food."

The buddy snorted coldly: "Oh, here comes another one who wants to eat and drink for nothing."

"Hey, what are you doing at the door, let the guests in quickly."

The clerk raised his voice and shouted back: "Boss, people are not here for dinner, ask us if we are still recruiting people."

The old man in the restaurant came out of the back kitchen with a fat head and big ears, with a belly that was not inferior to that of a black bear. "Are you looking for a job?"

"Yes," Xiu nodded and said, "Boss, are you still recruiting?"

The boss looked him up and down, and said in a reluctant tone: "You look pretty good, stay here, try it out for a month, but I have to keep the certificate."

"Documents?"

The boss glanced at Xiu: "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem," Xiu said bravely, "However, I will only stay here for a week..."

"One week? Go, go, get lost, waste of time."

The boss left with a wave of his hand, and the man was not polite, and greeted other guests with a shake of his face.

Xiu could only exit the restaurant, smelling the aroma wafting from the restaurant, his stomach growled again.

Life in the city seems to be more difficult than outside the city.

Xiu sighed, and tried a few more shops, but without exception, he was kicked out as a rascal who cheated on food and drink, until the owner of the fifth shop showed him the way.

"We don't recruit people here. You can go to the bulletin board in the neighborhood. Sometimes there will be notices to recruit short-term workers. The money is small but the wages are paid every day. If you want to go, go as soon as possible, and it will be gone if you are late."

After repairing, thank you, and hurried to the bulletin board.

The bulletin board stands in the small square in the center of the block. There are many people but few people go to the bulletin board. If Xiu doesn't see the recruitment information, it may be a step late.

He was a little frustrated, and the bulletin board was almost covered with: frontline battles, obituaries of the deceased, lost announcements, new store promotions, marriage announcements, wanted orders... There were all kinds of content, but there was no recruitment information.

Xiu hurriedly scanned it, and was suddenly attracted by a yellowed arrest warrant, which read: Red-tailed Scorpion, male, age unknown, this man is a bandit who has been entrenched outside Tinis City all year round, with a ferocious nature and extremely dangerous , Please pay special attention to people who go out!In addition, if someone can assist in apprehending the person, the military will reward him with 150 gold bars!Signed: Temple Tower, Tinis City, xx, xx.

Xiu looked at the wanted notice from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, and then stared at the portrait in the center of the paper—the face of a rogue bandit.And everyone with that face was by his side a few hours ago.

"Fuck! If I knew it, I would just knock him out and hand it over to someone in the military!"

Xiu regretted so much that his intestines were green. Not only did he follow his way, but he also let go of a 'worthy' wanted criminal. If he had seen the wanted warrant earlier, he wouldn't be as hungry as he is now.

But he doesn't know where Seth is now, and with his bullying character, he will never appear in front of him again. It is possible that he just doesn't want to see this arrest warrant for himself, so as soon as he enters the city, he will Sticking to myself, I want to play a black game under the lights.

Yes, it must be so!

Xiu was convinced, and felt full of anger.

After getting angry, he felt unnecessary again.

Rather than wasting time on a rogue, he has more important things to do-feed his stomach.

Xiu found a resting place in the vagina, not far from the bulletin board.

Just wait here, maybe someone will post a job posting later.

"Hey, have you heard that this time the tide of alien beasts is extremely fierce, the front line is retreating steadily, and the military's defense line has retreated ten kilometers."

"Huh? No, I heard that the military retreated [-] kilometers."

"That was news two days ago."

"What? You mean the military has retreated forty kilometers?!"

"Isn't it! If this continues, the wave of alien beasts will soon approach the 'Forty Day Line of Defense', and it won't be far from us!"

"Impossible, you are talking nonsense!"

"That's right, Tinis City is very safe. The walls are so high and thick, and there are protective shields above them. Even if the 'Forty Day Line of Defense' is broken, it doesn't matter. As long as the walls don't fall, we will be fine."

"I, am I worried?"

"Do you need to worry? The front line is something the military considers. They are useless, so they are retreated steadily."

"In my opinion, those supernatural beings must be slacking off. The military provided them with delicious food and drink. What happened? What a waste of our taxpayers' money."

"Shh, keep your voice down, if you let the supernatural being hear it, you may lose your life."

"If you have the ability to let them come, if he dares to come, I dare to sue the military for bankruptcy! It won't work on the battlefield, and the dog chain in my hand can't hold it. It's useless to ask them to be useless!"

"Okay, okay, don't say a few words, someone is here."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the people sitting around the bulletin board all stood up, and when the people finished posting the notice, they immediately swarmed up, like a swarm of flies, and they were squeezed after two or three repairs. To the periphery of the crowd.

Feelings These are all people who are waiting to recruit?

Xiu was stunned, no wonder there were so many people near the bulletin board, but for the sake of his stomach, he took a deep breath and pushed forward like those people, and finally squeezed to the front row.The old notices were still on the bulletin board, except that there was an extra wanted notice next to the red-tailed scorpion's wanted notice, offering a reward worth 100 gold bars.

"That much money?"

Xiu became interested. Although he might not be able to catch it, he was still a little curious.

The second-ranked reward amount, I would like to see what this heinous wanted criminal looks like...

Fuck!

This, isn't this me!
