Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

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

Xiu didn't deny that it was a good feeling to have someone to take care of you in a difficult situation, but when these words came out of Seth's mouth, there was obviously another meaning.

"I know what you want to say," Xiu coughed, "but I advise you not to waste your time."

"Don't," Seth didn't give up, "what's wrong with being a bandit? You're free and unrestrained. You can grab what you need. Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy. It's better than eating and sleeping in the open. Be strong."

Seth and Xiu were about the same height, when Seth put his shoulders on his shoulders, the whole body would lean on him, making them seem very close.Xiu was not used to this kind of excessive contact, so he distanced himself a little.

"You didn't really persuade me to join the gang," Xiu said, "You were afraid that I would steal your territory."

"Hey," Seth didn't deny it, and smiled indifferently, "Look at what you said, anyway, what's yours isn't all mine, no, it's ours."

Xiu glanced at Seth, who had no intention of arguing with him: "You can rest assured about this, I won't stay here for long, and I'm not interested in intervening in your 'business', you don't need to win me over, let alone worry about it." Your place."

Seth didn't respond to his refusal: "Where are you going?"

"I don't know," Xiu said, "Anyway, I can't stay in the city anymore."

Tinis City is the largest human city that Xiu has seen since wandering. He entered the city full of hope to find out some information, but ended up as a wanted criminal.

It's a pity, it's a pity, since it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it's better to start looking for the next human city as soon as possible.

"That's right, those who came out just now are bound to alarm the military, and the gates of the city will also be on guard," Seth said, "It's a good thing you are smart and didn't use your abilities in the city, otherwise the military will definitely try their best to catch them." Arrest you, then force you to serve the military until you are drained."

"You hate people in the military?" Xiu asked.

"Nonsense, which bandit have you ever seen likes to deal with the military?"

Seth said, and patted Xiu on the shoulder: "However, you don't have to worry, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, first find a place to avoid the limelight, and then find a way to get out of the city later."

"kindness."

The two were walking in the alley, and suddenly, the sound of their footsteps in the quiet alley turned into three people.

Xiu's heart tightened, and he used his peripheral vision to check whether there was anyone behind him, but Seth held him down by the shoulder.

"Don't look back." Seth reminded in a low voice.

"You heard that too?"

"Well," Seth said, "been following me for a while."

"Military, or ordinary residents?"

"It's hard to say," Seth restrained his expression and said calmly, "However, I can confirm that there is only one person behind us. The other party didn't rush forward or yell, which means that he is also testing us, maybe confirming our identity , or maybe they want to follow them all the time, find our hiding place, and catch them all in one go.”

"Get rid of him%2C," Xiu said, "You should be very familiar with the terrain here."

Seth turned his eyes and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "I have a better way."

Seeing his expression, Xiu immediately knew what he was thinking: "I don't agree."

Seth looked at Xiu unexpectedly, and found that he didn't show such an expression when he was being followed: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You can guess it by seeing how perverted your smile is."

"I call it dedicated," Seth said solemnly, "There is no reason not to do door-to-door sales."

"No," Xiu vetoed, "This is not the wilderness, not a dark alley, you want to die if you rob in the city."

Seth frowned slightly: "Are you doubting my professional level?"

"I'm at the level of intelligence in doubt."

Xiu said angrily: "You don't even look around. There are windows on both sides of the wall here, and it's not far from the street outside. If you haven't done anything yet, someone else will start shouting..."

Seth withdrew his hand on Xiu's shoulder and covered his mouth: "Don't worry, I won't give him a chance to shout."

"Uuuuuuu..."

Xiu still wanted to speak, but his mouth was sealed by Seth. He didn't dare to make too much movement, and was about to bite off the salty pig's hand. The moment he opened his mouth, Seth suddenly let go.

"Want to bite me?" Seth raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Are you a dog?"

"I belong to your father."

Xiu Mei took a breath, and the footsteps behind him kept a distance from them.

"Anyway, just give me some peace of mind, just get rid of people, don't make troubles."

"Well, let me put it another way," Seth thought for a while, and said, "You haven't had a drop of water or a grain of rice since you entered the city, and you've been chased for several streets, right?"

"kindness."

"Hungry?" Seth asked.

"hungry."

"Are you rich?"

"No," Xiu looked at Seth, "but you have."

Seth was choked by Xiu, but fortunately he didn't show his timidity: "It's gone."

"Gone?! So much money?"

"Well, it's all spent."

Seth looked at his incredible big eyes: "Hey, do you expect a bandit to save money?"

Xiu was speechless, feeling that the bandit next to him was not only brazen, but also narcissistic and prodigal. Apart from his appearance, he couldn't find a single good point in his whole body.

"Look, you need to drink water when you're thirsty, and you need to eat when you're hungry, but both water and food cost money..."

"Money can be earned."

"How to make money," Seth said softly while paying attention to the footsteps behind him, "You can't find any job in the city without a document, and your wanted warrants are posted everywhere in the city, let alone go to the bulletin board Looking for a short-term worker, if you step out of this alley, you may be tied up to receive a reward, or are you going to eat in prison?"

Xiu bowed his head silently and didn't speak.

"Hey, you don't really think about the question 'Is the prison food good?'?"

"..."

Indeed, for a second, Xiu felt that this was a solution, but soon this thought was kicked out of his mind.

"No," Xiu denied. "Anyway, you don't have to think about it with me."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiu's stomach made an uncooperative grunt, and then there was a suppressed laugh from beside him.

"Just once," Seth said.

Xiu did not agree.

"You can watch the head office from the side."

"Guru~~~"

Xiu's stomach growled again.

"Forget it, I can't tell you a dead wood, I don't want to starve to death."

Xiu dragged Seth, and after a few struggles, he let go with difficulty: "One meal, and there's more, don't hurt anyone."

Seite nodded, his eyes filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"What are you going to do?" Xiu asked.

Seth didn't speak, grabbed Xiu's hand and suddenly accelerated into the alley, turning into a side road.

The footsteps didn't hesitate for a moment, and they went straight to catch up, turned around the corner where the two disappeared, and punched them head-on.

"stop!"

Hugh grabbed Seth's arm, his fists resting in front of the man, who froze in place.

"Murray?"

"This way, the front is my home."

Murray led the two of them to the back of a small single-family building.

"come on in."

Murray let the two enter the door first, confirmed that no one else was following, and closed the back door.

"Don't worry, it's safe here."

Murray took the two of them to the living room. The living room was very spacious, with simple decoration and warm colors. There was a solid wooden sofa in the center, a wall clock by the wall, and a painting on the wall in the middle.

In the painting, a scarred black giant stands in the smoky, twilight apocalypse, dark blood soaks the earth, the tide of alien beasts is defeated, and the dilapidated human army raises its flag and shouts, witnessing the last sunset slowly sinking into the mountain between.

"This drawing is...?"

"Goliath," Murray brought two towels for the two, "wipe first."

Xiu took the towel and wiped his face: "Thank you."

"You are not from here, so you probably don't know about Goliath and the 100-day defense line," Murray explained while pouring water, "It has been more than 20 years since the city of Tinis was established, but it has been less than [-] years since it was as safe as it is now. .”

Murray handed the water to Xiu and Seth, looked at the black giant in the painting and explained: "Twenty years ago, the tide of alien beasts attacked the city of Tinis on a large scale, and human beings stuck to the defense line for a month. However, the protracted war It is too unfavorable to human beings, casualties, lack of food, and the invasion of alien beasts again and again. It was not until No. 20 that the military developed a giant human mecha code-named 'Goliath', and this ended. It was a long offensive and defensive battle. The hordes of alien beasts attacking Tinis City were completely defeated. To commemorate the arduous battle and sacrificed soldiers, that line of defense was called the "Forty-Day Line of Defense", and it was also the last line of defense in Tinis City. warning line."

"Unfortunately, the [-]-day line of defense is about to be broken. I'm curious whether the impenetrable Tinis you say can hold for [-] days."

Xiu Bai bumped Seth, motioning him to shut up.

Murray lowered his head and smiled, looking at the paintings on the wall, his expression was gloomy: "He is right, if the forty-day line of defense is breached, the city may be in chaos."

"Don't you still have Goliath?" Xiu asked.

"Goliath doesn't exist anymore."

Seth interjected: "After the [-]-day defense line was established, the military wanted to use Goliath to expand the territory, but the cost of starting Goliath was too high, and the energy reserves of the fortress city were quickly consumed by more than half of the mechs, and then there was no And then."

"Although there is no Goliath, the city of Tinis has other means of defense," Murray said. "When I was on the business road, I met the military and the supernatural beings in the army. They are not like those in the city. As incompetent as the population says, I believe they will definitely defend this fortress city."

Seth held the cup with a subtle expression, not knowing whether he was laughing or mocking: "Then I wish you and your fortress city a long life."

Murray nodded towards Tesai, and then temporarily put these bad emotions behind him: "You haven't eaten lunch yet, it just so happens that our family is about to serve dinner, let's eat together."

Murray led the two to the restaurant, and Seth stood still in front of the painting.

Xiu retreated back and stood beside Seth: "If the [-]-day line of defense is breached, how long do you think this fortress city can last?"

"The sooner the better," Seth said, "the sooner this city is finished, the more things I can grab."

"People are gone, what's the use of grabbing so many things."

Xiu touched the picture frame, and the corpses of humans and alien beasts covered the scorched earth: "So many sacrifices, are there only 20 years in return?"

"You're kind of sentimental," Seth said.

"What about you," Xiu asked, "what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking," Seth drank the water in the glass in one gulp, showing a determined expression, "this painting will definitely sell for a good price."

"... there is no cure."
