When Ning Zhe heard that Lin Xun had also killed the two robbers who had escaped, his tense mood relaxed a little: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to leave immediately!"

"What about these corpses..." Lin Xun looked at the people on the ground and asked tentatively.

"Stay here." Ning Zhe thought for a moment, then quickly left with the two of them.

The three of them took a detour and reappeared on the other side of the alley.

"Boom!"

As soon as the three of them walked onto the main street, they heard a dull sound, followed by the sound of tight steel cables and the sound of gears biting behind the city wall. A huge gate of the fortress was slowly being raised.

rise.

"It's almost dark today, why is the door opened again? Brother, the people in the fortress seem to come out more frequently recently." Lin Xun looked at the open gate and murmured softly.

There are many gates outside the fortress. Usually, there are iron gates for workers to enter the outer city. This huge gate leads directly to the inner city. I don’t know whether it is for safety reasons or to distinguish it from the refugees. This huge gate

The gate is not connected to the outer city, but is directly connected to the inner city by a tunnel.

"Yes! These guys rarely leave the city after dusk." Ning Zhe looked at the gate made of alloy and was a little curious.

Inside the dark city gate, a team gradually appeared, including not only mercenaries on horseback, but also a large number of guards.

The khaki combat uniforms of the mercenaries and the gray uniforms of the guards formed a sharp contrast.

The Guards are different from the mercenary teams organized by the fortress managers themselves. They are regular armed forces established by the major chaebols. They are nominally the official army of the Federation. Their full name is the Free Federation Armed Guards. Refugees are more accustomed to calling them Guards.

.

"Buzz!"

After the cavalry, several steel-framed vehicles soon appeared.

The so-called steel frame car is to use steel pipes to weld the outline of a car, cover it with rainproof silk, and then mount a car engine on it. After simple modification, it can be put on the road. Its performance is incomparable with regular cars, but it is definitely faster than a horse.

It's a lot better and can adapt to more terrains.

In the wasteland, steel-framed vehicles are the most common type of vehicle, but they are definitely not affordable for ordinary people. In addition to expensive engines, fuel is a resource that is more scarce than drinking water.

The steel frame vehicles of these armies are all upgraded versions, imitating the shape of the "Lynx Assault Vehicle" before the disaster. Each vehicle can seat three people, and can also be equipped with machine guns and other weapons. The rainproof fabric of the body has been replaced by steel plates.

The wheels are also covered by steel plates, and these steel plates are welded with sharp iron pieces, making the whole car look like a hedgehog, hence the name, it is called a hedgehog car.

Seeing the vehicles appear, Ning Zhe's eyes flashed with curiosity. These teams seemed to be going somewhere far away, but going out late at night was not the style of city people.

Could it be that something important happened?

…

Before the sun set, Ning Zhe and the others picked up Fatty Li and rushed to the best restaurant in the market town.

"Mr. Zhuo! You are here!" The restaurant owner saw Zhuo Mingyuan appear and went up to serve him diligently.

"Today I want to thank my friends. Money is not an issue. Don't fool me with those junk foods for refugees!" Zhuo Mingyuan was in a good mood and gave him a tip of twenty yuan with a bright face.

"Okay, please invite me to the backyard. There is a private room in the backyard, and it's quiet!" The boss led a few people to the backyard, enthusiastically arranged them in a room, and showed a mysterious smile to Zhuo Mingyuan:

"Mr. Zhuo, please wait a moment, I will help you arrange food right now!"

"What is it that makes it so mysterious? I have something to do after dinner, hurry up!" Zhuo Mingyuan said impatiently, fearing that the boss would waste his time.

"Please be patient, I assure you that your wait will be worth it!" The boss smiled and turned to leave.

"You have all worked hard for my affairs, drink some water first!" Zhuo Mingyuan picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for each of them.

"What!"

About five minutes later, while several people were chatting, there was a strange cry outside the door. Then the restaurant owner led an artiodactyl animal that was slightly smaller than a bison, had horns on its head, and was covered in white curly hair.

Went into the room.

"Damn it! What the hell is this?!" Lin Xun looked at the animal he had never seen before and instinctively picked up the hunting bow on the table.

"Ah!!" Fatty Li screamed in fright, jumped up from his chair, and hid in the corner behind.

"The one with long hooves should not be a beast with too strong attack power!" Ning Zhe took a look at the animal's legs and made a quick judgment.

"Guys, don't be afraid, this is our dinner today!" The boss saw everyone's nervous faces and smiled at Zhuo Mingyuan: "Mr. Zhuo, I spent a lot of effort on this sheep.

It's been made in the city. Let's eat this tonight. What do you think? I'm not bragging. In the market town that surrounds the city, there will never be more than three shops where you can eat mutton! I won't charge more.

For your money, two legs of lamb are only two hundred yuan, how about that?"

"..." Zhuo Mingyuan looked at the sheep brought by his boss, and his whole body was like a lightning strike.

"Is this the sheep?" Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at it curiously, but Fatty Li still didn't dare to approach.

"Sir, don't you think it's expensive? In this case, you can give me 180 lines, right? If it's any lower, it won't work! To tell you the truth, I plan to kill this sheep and use it for entertainment.

If I hadn't seen you from the transportation team passing by and had a lot of money, I wouldn't have taken it out at all!" Seeing Zhuo Mingyuan's silence, the boss took the initiative to give in and bargain.

"You said this is a sheep? But... shouldn't sheep have five fingers? How can it have hooves?!" Zhuo Mingyuan was pulled back from his thoughts, thinking of the half of mutton his father brought home ten years ago.

He asked shaking like chaff.

"Boss, you can really joke. How come a sheep has fingers? Since ancient times, it also has hooves!" The boss grinned.

"That's wrong! Shouldn't sheep have five fingers? Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!" Zhuo Mingyuan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly roared, losing control of his whole body in an instant, and rushed towards the sheep crazily, vomiting in the mouth.

At the same time, he strangled its neck tightly.

"Hey! Hey! What the hell is going on with you?!" When the boss saw Zhuo Mingyuan's actions, he immediately stepped back and looked at Ning Zhe and others with some fear: "What's going on with your friend? This

Aren’t you a madman?!”

"Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!"

"Shouldn't sheep have five fingers?!"

"What..."

Roars and screams of sheep echoed one after another in the private room.

Zhuo Mingyuan is crazy!

He ran wildly on the street, calling the name "Zhuo Xiaomei", but as he ran, he forgot his sister's name.

In order to get this quota to enter the city, Zhuo Mingyuan had very little money left. As a "friend" who came to the hotel with him, Ning Zhe naturally had the obligation to take care of him. After he dug out Zhuo Mingyuan's wallet,

It was found that he only had more than a thousand yuan left.

Zhuo Mingyuan gave up everything he had and was willing to give up a prosperous life in the refugee area and go to the city to find his sister.

In that wallet, there was also a city identity certificate. The owner was a white man, and his identity was the supervisor of Zhuo Mingyuan's mining area.

Now, everything is clear.

Zhuo Mingyuan, who had missed his sister for ten years, couldn't stand the inhumane life in the mining area and the abuse by the foreman, so he committed murder and swindled goods, and fled the mining area.

He returned to the fortress from the mining area alone, and experienced many dangers and tortures.

He originally thought he could find his sister and return to a normal life, but the five-fingered sheep he once ate shattered all his illusions about life...

Winter is approaching, and Ning Zhe is short of money. If he takes the money away from Zhuo Mingyuan, a madman, no one will pursue him.

But he didn't touch the money. After paying Zhuo Mingyuan for strangling the sheep, he didn't keep any of the money left. He handed it all to the restaurant owner and looked at Zhuo Mingyuan who was still running wildly on the street: "From today on,

Give him two bean cakes and a bowl of water every day until the money is spent. Don’t think about blackmailing the money, or I will find you!"

"Don't worry, I know who you are!" The boss glanced at Ning Zhe and nodded sadly.

While the two were talking, a person in the hall wearing a hooded robe who was eating with others also heard the conversation between the two. After Ning Zhe left, he raised his head and looked at his back. If Ning Zhe was at this moment

If you look back, you will recognize this person as the new security guard in their neighborhood, Su Fei.

From then on, the refugee area lost a stubborn young man looking for his sister, and the market town gained a madman.

He wanders on the streets every day, repeating only one sentence:
Chapter completed!
