Chapter 41 041. All roads lead to the abandoned capital
If it is a human being, then Lu Jian feels that something is wrong with this world.
Because it is definitely not the appearance of a normal modern human being, and it is somewhat different from an ape. It is more like some kind of four-legged crawling thing standing and running forcibly, with a strange posture, giving people an indescribable disgust.
It was just a glimpse, and the thing went away with the driving of the bus, so Lu Jian didn't care, and turned his head back.
"Tell me, what was that outside the window just now?"
He asked the little brother.
"What, what what?"
The little brother was taken aback, and quickly moved his butt away from the window.
"The one that looks like a human, didn't you see it?"
Lu Jian also pointed.
"No, no!!!"
He shrank his neck as if he was about to cry.
"Oh, maybe I mistook something else."
Lu Jian responded.
"That's a Ratman."
The big man sitting at the front said casually.
"Ratman?"
Looking over, the big man had muscular arms and a gun holster around his waist.
"Ratman, I don't know where it coming from. It's has been on this road for many years. This is the first time you have gone to the abandoned capital, right?"
The big man did not refuse to communicate, but seemed very skilled.
"right."
Lu Jian responded.
"Those ratmen dug a lot of holes underground. Sometimes the holes are close to the ground, and people will sink into them when they walk up. They will sink into them, and then they can't climb out again. They are finally suffocated to death and become the food of the ratmen."
The big man seemed to have experienced it himself, and said in a serious manner.
"However, the Ratmen are very weak. It is no problem for ordinary people to punch one. They are that kind of thing, not much different from wild dogs."
"oh!"
Lu Jian responded again.
He exchanged a few words briefly.
Lu Jian found that being handsome is still useful.
At least there was a little voice in Lu Jian's words in the backwater car.
The name of this big man is unclear, his nickname is "Hound Dog", and the name of this little brother is Stone. As for the woman, she didn't reply, but she learned from "Hound Dog" that her name is "Mary".
The three of them looked like mixed races, their skin was yellowish, but their hair was lighter, so they couldn't tell the specific race.
"Hey, after the Prohibition, the wasteland has become more and more chaotic, but it's also good, so that bounty hunters like us can make more money. The more chaotic the city, the more expensive things are!"
"Hound Dog" is not as repulsive as the appearance, but after hearing Lu Jian's opening, he talked about the abandoned capital.
"Bounty hunter, amazing."
Lu Jian acted as a qualified fan and echoed his words.
"Yes, I've been in Waste Capital for several years. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Hound" smiled heartily.
"Abandoned city, are there really many cars in Abandoned city?"
The young man, Stone suddenly asked.
"Yes, there are everywhere, and there are trams, that is, trains with antennas on their heads."
"Is there a dance party? Is there a theater performance? Is there a singing hall?"
"Yes, there are all, as long as you want, Abandon has it."
"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 in your arms, tsk tsk, then you can have a good night. Go to the lowest roadside stall and make do with it."
"I, I'm not interested into that!"
Stone also straightened up when he denied it, revealing the things in his arms.
is a book, Lu Jian saw, the title of the book is "Old News of the Abandoned Capital", and the author's name is Gudu.
"Hey, the book in the ancient capital was cheated again."
"Hound Dog" quickly snatched the book, turned two pages in Stone's protest, and then returned it to him.
"This writer is fairly well-known in Waste City. He is an upper-class person. He often hangs out with married women. He likes to write scary stories and women. Only those young people will be fooled by him.damn, How can waste be so comfortable. "
"Hound" sighed, and looked at the stone again.
"Can you understand this book, can you read it?"
"Know a little bit."
Stone nodded in confusion.
"Very good. If you can read and write, at least you can do some easier work in the waste city. Oh, you don't know that most young people who bite the bullet and go to the waste capital end up as coolies. With a body like yours, three month is enough to cripple a person, those who can't move halfway, just throw them to the dogs, human life is worthless."
"Hound" sighed, and patted Stone's frail shoulder again.
"I can introduce you to some jobs at that time, don't worry, I'm quite famous in Waste Capital, no one dares to cheat you."
"Amazing!"
Lu Jian followed Ying He and asked again.
"Speaking of which, it's so dark outside, how does the driver know the way?"
The fat driver hadn't spoken a word since just now, staying out of the way, Lu Jian was the "hound dog" who asked.
"Don't you know that all roads lead to the abandoned capital, as long as they are man-made roads, they all lead to the abandoned capital."
"So that's the case, as long as we don't have any accidents on the way, we can drive in such a safe manner, and we can arrive at the abandoned capital tomorrow morning, right?"
Just as Lu Jian finished speaking, he saw Mary, the middle-aged woman who had just shut her mouth tightly, stood up.
"Do not say silly things."
Her voice is slightly hoarse, the wrinkles on her face are far deeper than her age, and her eyes are deep, like the night outside.
"oh"
Does this person also know that FLAG cannot be set up indiscriminately?
Lu Jian took another look at her, when suddenly there was a loud noise in front of the bus.
Bang——
The whole bus braked so suddenly that everyone fell forward.
Lu Jian supported the seat, the "hound" itself weighed enough, and Mary was as stable as Mount Tai, only Stone, stumbling around, and almost fell off the chair.
"What, what's wrong?"
The emaciated youth Stone asked in horror.
"Something went wrong."
The driver only spoke at this time, with a tone of voice.
"Can it be done?"
"Hound" walked over.
Even if he doesn't explain, everyone knows that it's not a good thing for a car to park here in the wild late at night.
"Let me 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?"
"Hound" looked out of the window, the shadow in his eyes became more and more intense.
"I don't know, I have to go down and check."
The driver stood up, bent over with difficulty to take out the tool box with his bloated body, and opened the car door.
It was dark outside, only illuminated by the lights of the bus.
The driver and the "hound" got out of the bus, and the rest stayed.
"no problem."
Stone was a little curious, but he didn't dare to look.
Mary didn't say a word, she just pulled her clothes tighter and moved away from the windows and car doors.
Lu Jian was silent.
Since it is a difficult task, it will definitely not be that simple, and it is normal for the bus to break down.
He looked out the window, the dense night covered everything, even the figures of the driver and the "hound" became blurred.
The repairs continued. During the long waiting, outside the window, the dimly illuminated area, where the light and shadow intersected, Lu Jian stared directly there.
At the edge of the light, something seemed to be lurking there, they squirmed, they twisted, they peered at the bus.
As long as humans are not paying attention, these vicious guys will immediately emerge from the shadows and tear everyone they see.
At this time, a sharp, ear-piercing, howl came from a distance.
Amidst the howling, Lu Jian vaguely saw something passing under the light, passing by the driver and the "hound".
Bang——
"Hound" immediately drew his gun, and after a blast, the world fell into silence.
"what is that?"
Lu Jian asked casually.
The next moment, something crashed into the glass next to his face!
