Chapter 2 Luck

"He just sold a mutant beast." Gu Jin said.

He is a middle-aged man with a well-proportioned figure with a goat-like beard on his chin. His black hair was meticulously combed behind his head, and finally he tied it into a small bump. He was wearing a suit top with good fabric and work. The two buttons on the top of the shirt were not tied, and a slap-wide chest hair could be vaguely seen. If someone I didn't know saw him, he would probably think that this person's braid had an artistic atmosphere. If he could persist for a week without washing his hair, he would probably still have the taste of an artist.

Emily took out a hexagonal glass and placed it on the bar, took out a bottle of open wine from the cabinet below the bar, poured half a cup carefully and handed it to Gujiu, who was sitting on the bar.

"Then he doesn't look like a rich man." She said, recalling how Cheng Bin looked when he took out the coins from his pocket. To be honest, she was wondering whether Cheng Bin had enough coins to pay the bill at that time.

The bar has been cleaned up, and the guy who was shot by Cheng Bin was not dead. The bullet penetrated his chest and did not even hurt his internal organs. Of course, whether he could survive depends on the level of the doctor in the town. After all, this is an era when anyone can die if scratched by rust nails.

The strong man whose palm was penetrated by a knife had also been taken away and bandaged. The collapsed table was put back in place, and only the remaining blood stains were not so easy to clean.

"You may have to change the floor. I know that there is a carpenter in Sakura Town that makes good floors. Of course, you may prefer things from Gongqingcheng." Gu Jin looked at the young man who was trying to wipe the floor, took the wine glass handed over by Emily and took a sip, and then continued Emily's topic: "What can I say? He is a wilderness hunter. Such people cannot be judged by common sense."

"It's amazing to hear you say this." Emily skipped the floor part intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "If you really think this way, you shouldn't let Jimmy come to him. Everyone knows that Jimmy is not good at communicating with people."

"Who knows?" Gu Jin narrowed his eyes, put the cup to his mouth but stopped and did not drink it.

He said, "At least we know he is strong." He said, "Do you think he can still work for me?"

Emily glanced at him, and before she could speak, a young man in a plaid suit but a wide-brimmed hat pushed open the door and walked in. As he walked, he could see the gun belt tied around his waist from the hem of the open suit top. He shouted to Gujian: "Brother, we are ready and can set off at any time."

"What are you ready?" Gu Jian showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go and catch that bastard." said the young man: "No one can leave after firing a shot in Maple Leaf Town."

"But I guess he is already on the wasteland now." Gu Jin put the cup in his hand on the table and looked at the young man and said, "How many people do you want to bring into the wasteland? Why do you think you can find him?"

He said, "Even if you can kill him, how much is the price you are going to pay?"

"Those hunters can enter the wasteland, why can't we?" said the young man dissatisfied.

"Everyone can go in and out of the wasteland, as long as they are lucky enough," Gu Jin said. "As for those hunters... they don't even think about whether they can come back alive."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the bar again and waved to the young man with his hand holding the wine glass, "Let your people disband." He said: "I just want to drink a glass of wine quietly. There are not many authentic vodka now."

After the young man left, Gu Jian was silent for a while and whispered to Emily: "You saw it, that's why I'm going to find outsiders to do that."

"Maybe this is why Castro and the others are eager to show off," Emily said. "My father often said that we should give young people a chance to grow."

Gu Jin shook his head, not looking like he wanted to continue the topic, and he asked, "Is Constantine okay?"

Emily's face darkened, and she said, "They said he must have three hours a day now, and the time will be longer in the future." She said, "He suffers from the pain of gene disintegration every day."

Gu Jin sighed, looked down at the pure wine in the cup, and said slowly: "So I often feel that we are no different from those outside, at least we don't know what tomorrow will be like."

Emily smiled, took the empty cup from Gujian's hand, and did not continue to pour him wine, but changed to a light yellow beer. "At least we have experienced much more than them." She said: "We already have many yesterdays worth remembering. What does it matter if there is tomorrow?"

After it was completely dark, Cheng Bin found a row of dilapidated houses next to the abandoned highway. With the caution of the wilderness hunter, he first confirmed that every house here was empty, then hid the motorcycle, and finally picked up a room that looked the most inconspicuous from the highway and went in.

Although it is already early summer, the nights in the wasteland are still cold. After all, in this era, there is neither heavy industry that can warm the earth nor urban agglomerations that can provide the heat island effect.

Cheng Bin hugged in the corner wrapped in a sleeping bag, regretting his recklessness in the bar. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to meet the boss of those two guys. Maybe he could get a free hot bath and a soft round bed room, and maybe he would also have a body-smelling American girl. However, now everything was ruined, he also had a bullet and could only sleep in the cold and wet corner, enduring the bugs crawling around him.

After sleeping for about an hour, Cheng Bin was awakened by the roar of the engine. Through the gap in the wall, he saw the lights from far to near stop outside the house.

Cheng Bin cursed in his heart, thinking that it was so difficult for him to sleep on the floor with a whole bag of coins in his pocket, and he was even disturbed. However, the unfortunate thing was that he could not ignore it. After all, no one knew who was coming. It would be absolutely impossible for those who dared to wander in the wasteland in the middle of the night, even if it was not far from Maple Leaf Town.

He crawled out of his sleeping bag with great difficulty, and in the process he scolded the group of people who disturbed his dreams several times, cursing them to meet the duke while taking a shower - after the car outside the house stopped, Cheng Bin heard the sound of talking and footsteps. There should be at least two or three people. As for whether more people did not make any sound, he couldn't make sure.

Cheng Bin's strategy of choosing a hiding place was very effective. These newcomers did not realize that there was an early person here. After parked the car next to the highway, they directly got into the room that looked the most complete, and had never even searched nearby houses.

After a while, Cheng Bin saw a fire lit up in the room. Not only did they make fires in the room, but they did not block the fire.

"Damn." Cheng Bin breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from all the signs, this group of people are very rookies. They were able to wander in the wasteland because they had not encountered bad people of the same level as Cheng Bin. Of course, they might have encountered them, but the other party was not short of supplies just now.

Cheng Bin was not interested in teaching rookies to be a human being, so he planned to go back and continue to sleep, but at this time he heard a woman's scream in the room, and then the sound of fighting came soon.

Cheng Bin looked at a slim figure in a daze and pushed open the door and ran out, but he was knocked to the ground by the chased person just after running two steps.

He sighed, thinking that this shouldn't be a show for him, but if he was rehearsing, it would be too serious. That moment must have hurt a lot just now.
