Amidst the rumbling thunder, drizzle began to fall from the sky, bringing a hazy mist to Prickly Pear Town.
Wearing a black raincoat, Sumo first leaned his head out half-way. After realizing that there were no more lone pedestrians on the street outside, he turned around with relief.
"Go back, go to bed early tonight, and don't wait for me!"
In front of the western-style building with warm lights, the flush of excitement on Huang Xiaojuan's face has not completely faded away.
After learning that their destination was to go to Tianyuan Territory, and that Sumo had accumulated a lot of trading points, there was a way to get the rest.
On this ordinary night, Huang Xiaojuan was completely high, and her mind was filled with fantasies about a better life.
Yes.
In the wasteland, the four words Tianyuan Territory equal a good life.
Although it is not ranked first among all human territories, in terms of the happiness of residents, it is enough to rank among the top five, or even the top three!
Various highly integrated factories can produce electrical appliances, small commodities, and daily necessities that can only be seen in the civilized era.
The powerful military defense force can withstand frontal attacks by hundreds of thousands of aliens and is not afraid of any enemy.
Coupled with ample material reserves and a harmonious internal environment.
Living here, there is no need to worry about natural disasters or unrest.
In a sense, if identity had not been purchased, Tianyuan Territory might have been paralyzed by the influx of humans.
"Brother Zong, be careful, I'm at home. I'll be waiting for you at home!"
Waving her hands, Huang Xiaojuan's face turned red again, she quickly turned her head in shame and closed the heavy wooden door.
In the drizzle, Sumo was suddenly left alone, as well as Oreo, who was lying on the ground and looking warily into the distance.
"How's it going? Can you still smell it now?"
Withdrawing all her charming thoughts, Sumora pulled the awning to cover her face, hiding her figure in the shadows on the main road.
Su Youzong's face is not handsome, but it is not ordinary either.
If placed among ordinary people, such an appearance would instantly make people aware of his existence.
But placed in a group of outstanding-looking people, he will immediately become mediocre, as if he will disappear in the next second when thrown into the sea of people.
As for Prickly Pear Town, Su Bapi was famous, so Su Mo decided to be more cautious to avoid other accidents in the future.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
After transforming into a pastoral dog, Oreo's whine has turned into a slightly clearer bark.
After the shouting ended, she found the right direction and started running away.
After taking a look at the small western-style building behind him and then at the dim street, Sumo carefully closed the courtyard door and started running behind Oreo.
In the absence of complete monitoring facilities, rainy days are the best environmental cover for operations.
The splashes caused by stepping heavily on the ground will be automatically restored by the accumulated water after a second or two.
The smell left behind along the way will also be washed away by the drizzle and disappear invisible.
The moon was dark and the wind was high. By this point, most of the residents living in Prickly Pear Town had already gone to bed and started to rest listening to the sound of rain.
Even if there are one or two night owls occasionally, they will not waste time standing in front of the window to enjoy the rain, let alone see a person and a dog running in the dark the whole time.
Passed through three main streets in succession and walked through two small roads.
Watching Oreo walking straight towards the outskirts of the town, Somo walked briskly without any pause.
Just like that, I ran again for more than four or five minutes.
It wasn't until the gate of Prickly Pear Town appeared at the end of the line of sight that Oreo's footsteps gradually slowed down and he began to indicate that Sha Yikang's location was nearby.
"Huh? Here!"
"Here. Is this the ghetto?"
Based on the terrain recorded during the day, I took a look at the various residential buildings with uneven levels around.
Sumo only retrieved it in his memory and frowned slightly.
The overall shape of Prickly Pear Town is an oval pear, with the most prosperous area in the middle, where high-status beings live.
Going both ways, its status is equivalent to the suburbs of a first-tier city in the civilized era.
The farther to either side, the lower your status, the less your net worth, and the smaller the chance of escaping from danger.
Would Shaykham place his residence in a place like this?
Scanning the area back and forth, Somo kept walking back and forth, looking for anything unusual nearby.
A few minutes later, he heard a strange movement near an ordinary thatched house.
"Is this here?"
Not daring to rush in rashly, Sumo first looked around the area, then climbed up and jumped onto a nearby house, and then carefully looked inside the thatched house courtyard.
Sure enough, under an awning in the courtyard, he saw four relatively strong men, leaning lazily on the pillars and chatting.
Depending on their stature, although the combat effectiveness of these four people is not as good as that of professionally trained warriors, they are completely sufficient to deal with ordinary people.
"Very good, it seems I can still hold a nest this time!"
Licking the corner of his mouth, at this moment, Sumo finally understood what the sound he heard earlier was.
Mahjong!
Under this seemingly ordinary thatched house, there was actually the sound of playing mahjong and noisy voices coming from the rainy day.
Obviously, after the simple order was restored, the greed for pleasure rooted in human genes really popped up again.
Even in this small town of Prickly Pear, there is something similar to a casino.
…
Qingguo territory is located in the southwest of the entire New World.
In fact, when the territory was first established, it was not named Qingguo. Instead, it was called the "Xijian" territory, which was very powerful.
But later, during the construction of the territory, a green fruit was discovered. As long as it is chewed repeatedly in the mouth, it can bring waves of relief.
Gradually, the name Qingguo spread.
Being called so many times, the lord here simply changed the name of his economic pillar product to the name of his territory in order to gain higher popularity.
The night is getting darker and darker.
There was smoke filling a basement somewhere in Prickly Pear Town.
In the center of the venue, colorful lights were swinging back and forth, illuminating the interior with colorful lights.
Twenty or thirty young women were wandering around, chewing green fruits in their mouths, and swaying their bodies to the lights and music, as if they were crazy.
In a small private room on one side, many middle-aged people were sitting, playing mahjong in their hands.
In the past, relying on its excellent geographical location and the protection of the mayor of Prickly Pear Town, it could attract most of the passing tourists and the gambling monsters around Siphon.
As long as it comes at night, the place will become lively. Just one night's gambling turnover can account for about one-third of the entire town's daytime turnover in Prickly Pear Town.
And this is also the most important reason why the Ministry of Materials can be wildly corrupt and not be punished by the mayor of Prickly Pear Town.
The big head has already gone into his pocket, but the small head doesn't matter if it is given to the people below.
It's just that tonight, the atmosphere in the venue is a little different from the past.
Near the table near the front, everyone was chatting away, but the focus of their words was the greasy middle-aged man in the middle of the table.
"Congratulations to Minister Sha. This time Su Papi stepped down due to serious illness, and the entire Materials Department was brought under Minister Sha's command!"
"Don't tell me, Su Bapi is also retribution. You said that he doesn't get the poor people's supplies, but just stares at a few big households in the city every day. Isn't this clearly looking for death?"
"He deserves it, he really deserves it. If he restrains himself, others may treat him like a piece of shit, but this greedy thing really wants to take over the entire Prickly Pear Town for himself!"
"Oh, Minister Sha's luck has exploded today, why is this nonsense again!"
"Collect the bill, collect the bill!"
Joyfully, he pushed all the mahjong tiles forward, and Sha Yikang's oily face flashed with uncontrollable joy.
After overthrowing Su Youzong, the benefits brought about completely exceeded his previous budget.
Since taking all the power of the Materials Department into his own hands, both money and status have grown by leaps and bounds.
These people who used to be equal to him in the past, but tonight, they can only smile with their faces and think of ways to lose money to him.
Calculating carefully, he has been happy for a whole day since last night.
"It's so happy, so happy!"
"Su Youzong deserved his crime. Maybe God couldn't stand his evil deeds, so he sent this punishment."
Picking up a green fruit on the table, Sha Yikang chewed it vigorously and spoke nonchalantly.
On the way, after seeing the young woman wearing only a piece of hair in the field, his eyes were full of lust: "It's a pity that the beauty next to Su Youzong is called, right, Huang Xiaojuan"
"Don't think the name sounds mean, that person is really pure."
"Oh? Minister Sha is tempted after seeing it?"
"That's not true!" Pulling out a card, Sha Yikang's body began to feel hot under the influence of Qingguo, and he had more and more fantasies in his mind.
It took eight years of crawling around in the wasteland.
Except for the first three years at the beginning, I had a very hard time, and it was often a day when I had one meal but no one.
In the following years, as the human territory re-emerged in the wasteland, basically all the people who were still alive were properly resettled and no longer had to worry about running around for their lives.
In this wave, Sha Yikang would often be glad that he had a good vision. He realized the importance of status from the beginning and spent all his wealth to buy the position of Minister of Materials Department in Prickly Pear Town.
Relying on this status, he enjoys popular food, drinks spicy food, and has fun, and he can live a carefree life that he never dared to imagine when he was on Earth.
Although Su Youzong and Su Bapi were born in the past two years, his share was divided at every turn, resulting in a slight decline in the quality of life.
But now, with his poisoning, Sha Yikang believes.
Given time, his life will quickly return to his peak, and he will return to being a master!
"Minister Sha, how about I help you capture that Xiaojuan directly in a few days?"
"That's it, it's not enough to catch Su Bapi as a maid, so teach him a lesson."
"I think it will work. When Minister Sha is done playing, we can do it too."
In order to match Sha Yikang's lewd expression, the other people sitting at the table also looked lewd and uttered obscene words.
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, a slightly inappropriate and cold question sounded from his ears.
"What else?"
"Of course it's fun, right?"
Realizing that the voice was a little strange and familiar at the same time, the person who was still speaking couldn't help but turn his head.
The next second, looking at the face under the black awning, and the young women who were dancing just now in the peripheral vision, they were already squatting in the corner and shivering.
The chill in the heart of the middle-aged man instantly spread throughout his body along with his violent heartbeat.
"Su Youzong!"
There was a strange scream, and the people who were still playing mahjong on the table were suddenly awakened by the sound, and raised their heads to look at the location of the sound.
Like that person, after seeing Somo standing at the door of the private room, their reactions were surprisingly the same.
First he screamed strangely, and then showed different behaviors.
Some people subconsciously want to touch the gun hidden in their waist for safety.
Some people had angry expressions on their faces, as if they were extremely dissatisfied with such an intrusion, and they opened their mouths to scold them.
Some people secretly took two steps back, giving up the front court to others and hiding themselves in the corner.
"Su Youzong, what's wrong with you!"
"Who asked you to come here? Do you have an invitation?"
"Let me tell you, this is Mayor Gao's plate. If you dare to make trouble, he will be the first to spare you!"
I felt that Su Youzong's appearance like this had wiped out the face that had just risen.
Under the influence of the green fruit, Sha Yikang stood up with a look of deep anger on his face.
"Mayor Gao's plate?"
"Hmph, the share here is 70% of Mayor Gao's, you understand?"
For the first time, seeing the strange color on Sumo's face, Sha Yikang subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
It was a happy day, and I played mahjong for several hours in this environment, with green fruits in my mouth.
Under the triple catalyst, he didn't understand the reason for Sumo's interested expression.
Su Youzong is also a gambler?
Or are you happy to know Mayor Gao’s secret?
Or have you caught yourself?
While thinking, before Sha Yikang could figure out the reason, violent sounds suddenly erupted in his ears.
At the same time, an unspeakable pain also rose from his leg, causing him to wake up instantly.
"Su Bapi, you don't want to live anymore?"
Looking around, I saw that the friends who had been pushing cups and changing glasses just now were all hit by guns in their body parts, and they were rolling around on the ground like shrimps in pain.
Sha Yikang's face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't understand why the Su Bapi in front of him looked like he was about to die in the morning, but now he looked like an agent, with terrifyingly high combat power.
"I'm sorry, in order to prevent accidental injury, please put down the guns in your hands."
"It is"
"Robbery time!"
Showing his white teeth and looking around at the person lying on the ground, Somo smiled slightly, feeling happy for the first time in a long time.
Even if it's only among the ruins.
If he wanted to rob good people, Sumo still had a lot of resistance in his heart.
But when he robbed these evildoers, Soma felt at ease and even had a sense of joy in doing justice for heaven to satisfy his physiological needs.
"There are a total of forty-five people here. Even if one person gives me twenty points, it will still be nine hundred points!"
"In addition, the mayor of Prickly Pear Town is also a gambling leader. This round can meet the minimum requirements for purchasing identity. That's enough!"
