If that was a human being, then Lu Tan felt that something was wrong with this world.
Because it definitely does not look like a normal modern human being. It is somewhat different from an ape. It is more like some kind of four-legged crawling thing standing and running forcibly. The posture is weird, giving people an indescribable feeling of nausea.
But it was just a glimpse. The thing also disappeared as the bus drove away. Lu Tiao didn't pay attention and turned his head.
"Tell me, what was that outside the window just now?"
He asked the little brother.
"Wha, what what?"
The young man was stunned and quickly moved his butt away from the window.
"The one that looks very human, didn't you see?"
Lu Tan also pointed.
"No, no!!!"
He seemed to be about to cry and shrank his neck hard.
"Oh, maybe I saw it wrong."
Lu Tiao responded.
"...That's the Rat Man."
The big man sitting at the front said casually.
"Ratman?"
Lu Tian looked over and saw that the big man had muscular arms and a gun holster on his waist.
"Ratman, I don't know where I came from. I have been on this road for many years. Is this your first time going to the abandoned capital?"
The big man did not refuse to communicate, but seemed to be very proficient.
"right."
Lu Tiao responded.
"Those rat men dug a lot of holes underground. Sometimes the holes are close to the ground. If people walk up to them, they will sink in. They will sink in, and then they will never be able to climb out. In the end, they will be suffocated to death and become food for the rat men."
The big man said it seriously as if he had experienced it himself.
"But rat people are very weak, and ordinary people can punch one with no problem. They are just that kind of thing, not much different from wild dogs."
"oh!"
Lu Tan responded again.
He exchanged a few words briefly.
Lu Tiao discovered that being handsome had some benefits.
At least the car, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, had a little bit of human voice in Lu Tan's words.
The name of this big man is unclear, but his nickname is "Hound", and the little brother's name is Stone. As for the woman, she did not reply, and she learned from "Hound" that her name was "Mary".
The three people looked like they were of mixed race, with yellowish skin and light hair, so they couldn't tell their specific race.
"...Hey, after Prohibition, the city has become more and more chaotic, but that's good, so bounty hunters like us can make more money. The more chaotic the city is, the more expensive things are!
"
The "Hound" was not as repellent as he appeared to be. Instead, after hearing Lu Tan's words, he began to talk about the waste of the capital.
"Bounty hunters are awesome."
Lu Tan acted as a qualified compliment and echoed his words.
"Yes, I have been in the abandoned capital for several years. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Hound" smiled heartily.
"...Abandoned Capital, are there really many cars in Wasted Capital?"
The young man Shitou suddenly asked.
"Yes, they are everywhere, and there are also trams, which are trains with antennas on their heads."
"There are also dances? There are theatrical performances? There are... there are singing halls?"
"Yes, everything is available. As long as you can think of it, you can find it in Wasteland."
"Hound" showed a meaningful smile.
"The girls in the singing hall are all first-class beauties. As long as you can get their favor and have enough money, you can have a wonderful night... Of course,
Guys like us just go to the lowest-grade roadside stall to make do with it."
"I, I'm not interested in those!"
When Shitou denied it, he straightened up and revealed what was in his arms.
It was a book. Lu Jian saw it. It was called "Old News of the Abandoned Capital" and the author's name was Ancient Capital.
"Hey, another one of the books from the ancient capital was deceived."
"Hound" quickly grabbed the book, turned two pages amidst Stone's protest, and then returned it to him.
"This writer is quite famous in the waste city. He is a high-class man. He often hangs out with married women. He likes to write scary stories and likes to write about women. Only the young people will be fooled by him. How can there be harm in the waste city?
So comfortable.”
"Hound" sighed and looked at the stone again.
"Can you understand this book? Can you read?"
"Know a little bit."
Shitou nodded confusedly.
"It's good. If you can read, you can at least do some easier work in the abandoned capital. Oh, you don't know that most of the young people who bravely go to the abandoned capital end up as coolies. With a body like yours, three
A month is enough to kill a person. Those who can't move in the middle of the journey are just thrown away to feed the dogs. Human life is worthless."
"Hound" sighed and patted Shi Shi's weak shoulder again.
"I can introduce you to some work then. Don't worry, I'm quite famous in the waste city. No one dares to trick you."
"Awesome!"
Lu Tan responded and asked again.
"Speaking of which, it's so dark outside, how does the driver know the road?"
The fat driver had not spoken since just now and stayed out of the incident. Lu Tian was the "hound" who asked.
"Don't you know, all roads lead to the Abandoned Capital. As long as it is a man-made road, it all leads to the Abandoned Capital."
"I see. As long as we don't have any accidents along the way and drive smoothly, we can reach the abandoned capital tomorrow morning, right?"
Just as Lu Tan finished speaking, he saw Mary, the middle-aged woman who had kept her mouth shut just now, stand up.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Her voice was slightly hoarse, the wrinkles on her face were far deeper than her age, and her eyes were as deep as the night outside.
"oh......"
Does this person also know not to set up FLAG randomly?
Lu Tan glanced at her one more time. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the front of the bus.
Bang——
The whole car braked suddenly, and everyone fell forward.
Lu Tan held on to the seat. The "Hound" itself was heavy enough, while Mary was as steady as a rock. She staggered around and almost fell off the chair as she was just a stone.
"What, what's wrong?"
The thin young man asked with a frightened face.
"Something went wrong."
The driver only spoke at this moment, in a husky tone.
"Can it be done?"
"Hound" walked over.
Even if he didn't explain, everyone knew that it was not a good thing for a car to park here in the wild late at night.
"I'll try."
The driver tried to start it, but only heard a hoarse sound, and the engine seemed to be completely unable to move.
"Is it a mechanical problem or something?"
"Hound" glanced out the window, the shadow in his eyes getting thicker and thicker.
"I don't know. I need to go down and check."
The driver stood up, bent over with difficulty to take out the tool box, and opened the door.
It's dark outside, only illuminated by the light of the car.
The driver and "Hound" got out of the car, and the rest of the people stayed in the car.
"Is it okay..."
Shitou was a little curious but didn't dare to look.
Mary said nothing, only pulled her clothes tighter and moved away from the window and car door.
Lu Tan remained silent.
Since it is a difficult task, it will definitely not be that simple. It is normal for the bus to break down.
He looked out the window. The thick night covered everything, and even the figures of the driver and the "hound" became blurry.
The repairs continued, and during the long waiting time, Lu Jian looked directly at the area illuminated by dim lights outside the window, where light and shadow intertwined.
At the edge of the light, there seemed to be something lurking there, they were squirming, they were twisting, they were peering at the car.
As long as humans don't pay attention, these vicious guys will immediately emerge from the shadows and tear apart everyone they see.
At this time, a sharp, ear-piercing, heart-rending howl came from a distance.
Amidst the howling, Lu Tiao vaguely saw something passing under the light, passing by the driver and the "hound".
Bang——
"Hound" immediately pulled out his gun, and after an explosion, the world fell into silence.
"What is that?"
Lu Tan asked casually.
The next moment, something hit him outside the glass next to his face!
