Chen Mo held a cigarette in his mouth and stood by the bonfire, looking at Zheng Qiuhong who was sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag.
The two of them did nothing.
Chen Mo poured cold water on his face.
It wasn't because he didn't want to brake at the last moment, but because there were too many wild creatures in the wilderness. If danger approached, he would be close to death if he devoted himself to the task.
As for Zheng Qiuhong…
A girl with a good-looking figure and a good personality is born with a favorable aura. Chen Mo admitted that he had a crush on Zheng Qiuhong, but he was more willing to believe that he was just overwhelmed by hormones.
One watch lasts all night.
Early the next morning, after packing his things, Chen Mo took Zheng Qiuhong on the road again.
Chen Mo didn't sleep all night, but surprisingly he didn't feel tired and was full of energy.
It must have something to do with the energy Zheng Qiuhong delivered to him yesterday.
On the contrary, Zheng Qiuhong, who had slept all night, was in low spirits.
"How are you?"
Chen Mo handed over a bottle of brewed coffee.
I took the coffee with my little hand, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Don't you like me?"
"..." Chen Mo hesitated for a moment: "I should like it."
"Then why did you push me away?"
"The wilderness is no better than the inner city. There are dangers everywhere. Even if we both got into sleeping bags and came to Lute, we wouldn't even know it."
"But..." the girl bit her lip, "aren't we going to be in the wild from now on?"
"Hahaha how is that possible?" Chen Mo laughed "I don't want to be a refugee in the wilderness."
"Then where are we going?"
"Go to my godfather's tavern."
"Tavern?"
"My old man got tired of fighting and had nothing to do on Rose Planet, so he opened a tavern next to the mine. I just want to go and avoid the limelight."
Another long drive.
Chen Mo did not stop the car this time.
At a young and vigorous age, and with a little beauty by his side, he was also worried that he would not be able to stop the car.
The girl was sitting in the passenger seat, handing Chen Mo some water from time to time.
After more than twenty hours of running around, Chen Mo finally arrived at the White Rock Tavern.
After parking the car, holding Zheng Qiuhong's waist to protect him from the hungry eyes of the miners, Chen Mo pushed open the door of the tavern.
Baishi's business is still booming, and Lao Bai is about to go out with a pipe in his mouth.
I happened to bump into two people entering the house.
Lao Bai was a little surprised.
"Your little girlfriend?"
"No…"
"Well, hello, uncle."
Before Chen Mo could finish his words, he was snatched away by Zheng Qiuhong.
"My name is Zheng Qiuhong, and I am Chen Mo's girlfriend."
"I picked it up, I picked it up." The macaw on Lao Bai's shoulder croaked.
Lao Bai was amused and touched the parrot's head.
"White Stone, a native of the Northland of his home planet, his Chinese name is Bai Shi, just call me Lao Bai."
There is no air of eldership at all.
Zheng Qiuhong quickly said hello.
"Have you two eaten? Give you two something to eat?" Lao Bai knocked on his pipe.
"Don't worry, I'll fix it myself later."
Bai Shi looked at Chen Mo and then at Zheng Qiuhong.
"Baby, something happened?"
"How did you know something happened?"
"How many years have I lived? I haven't seen anything. Tell me, how many troubles have I gotten into?"
Chen Mo lit a cigarette, sat next to Lao Bai, and told him exactly what happened after submitting the task.
Lao Bai smoked his pipe and pondered for a moment.
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's take shelter in the tavern first, and then go somewhere else to hide for a while."
"You didn't make any mistake. What are you hiding from?" Lao Bai puffed his beard and glared. "You have to find enough evidence to prove your innocence. If you run away, it means you have something secret in your heart and give others the opportunity to frame you."
"Then what should I do? Surrender?"
"Why don't you understand? You haven't committed a crime, so why should you file a case? Just cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation and evidence collection."
"That…"
"The mine is on holiday these days, so the store is busy." Lao Bai threw the empty glass to Chen Mo: "Go and add a glass of whiskey for me to calm down."
"good."
"Also, did you fucking destroy my car again???"
"..."
…
There are four waiters in the White Rock Tavern, two waiters, one serving drinks, and one cashier.
Lao Bai is in charge of holding the place.
There is no need to do anything, the image alone is enough to deceive people.
There's no one who doesn't have the foresight to cause trouble in Baishi.
Chen Mo and Zheng Qiuhong took over the tasks of serving drinks and cashiering, and all four waiters became waiters. The level of chaos in the tavern suddenly dropped.
The miners dispersed one after another at two o'clock in the morning, leaving peeling paper scraps everywhere and, of course, alcohol everywhere.
Sticky.
It’s almost three o’clock when we clean up the garbage, fetch water and mop the floor, clear the table and wash the wine glasses.
The waiters went home one after another, and Zheng Qiuhong went into the back room to sleep.
Chen Mo leaned against the bar and drank with Lao Bai.
"That little girl is quite innocent."
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded.
Even though I was imprisoned at the age of 15, I still have no chance of being innocent.
"She likes you?"
"Maybe." The lime stuck in the mouth of the bottle fell into the wine, and Chen Mo put down the bottle: "This little girl has no sense of security and relies on me. Can this be considered liking her?"
"Forget it." Lao Bai sipped his whiskey: "If she is really as powerful as you say, she will still be a target for AC to deal with. Whether you two are a couple or not, at least your stance is definitely the same."
Chen Mo thought for a long time.
"We are all just individuals and cannot deal with the chaebol."
"Of course you two alone can't do it, but you saved the little girl of the Su family. Hex Energy Company is a pure white company and can't compete with AC. They need to tie people like you to the tank."
Chen Mo was stunned.
Lao Bai stared at the monitor at the bar and put down his pipe.
Several rustling figures were touching the back door. I don't know if they were bounty hunters or someone else.
"Boy, trouble is coming."
There are many cameras installed at the entrance of White Rock Tavern. The placement is quite subtle and difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Lao Bai stood up and took out a lever rifle from under the bar.
Automatic firearms are strictly controlled in Baishiling, and the lever rifle exists as an antique.
"Got a gun?"
Chen Mo picked up his fishing bag from behind the bar stool and took out an old-fashioned shotgun fired with No. 12 deer bullets.
"certainly."
Kara loaded the gun with a click, and Chen Mo stepped forward and aimed at the back door.
Lao Bai is not immortal, so he sets a gun behind the bar to protect Chen Mo.
The door opened.
"boom!!!"
Without saying a word, Chen Mo shot him in the face. The person who opened the door was killed by the bullet and flew out.
Kara!
The old gun was loaded and another burst of fireworks was emitted.
Another figure fell to the ground in response.
Six shots, five lives.
The troll pointed at the last person's head.
"Come in."
Who among the people in the mine had ever seen such a battle? They were so frightened that they raised their hands in the air and excrement and urine flowed out.
"Don't kill me! I won't say anything."
Chen Mo dragged the person in like a dog to death.
Under the light, the two men saw clearly that this man had dark skin and a dirty face. He was clearly a miner.
"Are you looking for death in the middle of the fucking night?"
Lao Bai cursed angrily.
He was not opposed to killing, but killing several miners for nothing made people feel upset.
"What's the matter with your night clothes?" Chen Mo asked.
"Someone gave us money and asked us to wear night clothes and go to the back door of White Rock Tavern. When we opened the door, we were given 1,000 each. We were also fooled by lard."
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes: "Who gave you money?"
"A young man wearing a peaked cap. He doesn't look like someone from the mine."
"Grass!!"
Chen Mo and Lao Bai cursed at the same time.
Fell into a trap!
A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Chen Mo turned around and rushed to the back room. Sure enough, the window was broken and Zheng Qiuhong on the bed was nowhere to be seen.
Turning over and jumping out of the house, Chen Mo saw two men putting Zheng Qiuhong into the trunk of an ATV under the cover of night.
He had one last bullet left, but the buckshot was unable to cause effective damage to the car, and the range was definitely not enough.
Chen Mo and ATV accelerated at the same time.
After all, manpower is limited and it is impossible to outrun the ATV.
The car was about to exit the main street.
"boom!"
Gunfire rang out upstairs, and the glass on the side of the ATV shattered.
The car swerved violently, hit a building on the right and stalled.
At some point, Lao Bai, who had climbed up to the second floor, jumped off the eaves, his pupils returning from purple to light brown.
Nearly a hundred meters away, the driving ATV driver was shot in the head by Lao Bai.
Chen Mokara loaded the gun and walked towards the ATV.
The young man wearing a peaked cap was frightened when he saw his master being shot in the head. The pistol was pressed against the temple of Zheng Qiuhong, who was knocked down by anesthesia.
He opened the car door halfway and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Don't come over again! If you come over again I'll shoot!!"
"boom!"
The lever rifle in the distance spit out tongues of flame again.
The bullet knocked out the firing pin of the pistol.
The boy was frightened and pulled the trigger.
No firing pin, a dumb gun.
Chen Mo rushed forward, and the dagger slipped out of his hand, hitting the young man's wrist.
"ah!!"
The young man was in heart-wrenching pain, and when he realized what he was doing, Chen Mo was already in front of him.
After pulling the man out of the ATV, Chen Mo pulled out a dagger and put it on the young man's neck.
"I ask you an answer. If you make a mistake, you will die."
"Don't...don't."
The young man cried bitterly.
"Name?"
"Li Botao."
"age?"
"nineteen."
"Who sent you?"
"I came here with Master."
"Who is your master?"
"Bounty Hunter."
Lao Bai also followed, reached his rifle into the ATV and picked off the corpse's hat.
The bounty hunter who was headshot had half his face covered in prosthetic body. At this moment, his brain and mechanical parts were mixed together and became indistinguishable from each other.
"I know him." Lao Bai clicked his tongue: "This man's headhunter ID is Double-faced Fox. He has a good relationship with AC. I guess he was hired by AC to stop the loss."
"It shouldn't be. How dare Liu Liang take any action after being arrested?"
"The bounty hunter is not an AC staff, so his actions are quite ordinary."
Lao Bai concluded.
Chen Mo picked up the unconscious Zheng Qiuhong.
"Old man, you handle the ATV, and I'll handle it at the door."
"Um."
The lever rifle was pointed at Li Botao's head.
"Do you have any last words?"
"don't want…"
"boom!"
Brains were sprayed all over the car door.
Lao Bai shrugged.
"You can't say it yourself."
Find the rubber tube from the trunk and insert it into the fuel tank to drain the gasoline.
With a sigh, Lao Bai poured out all the oil and poured it on the ATV and the two corpses. He walked twenty or thirty meters without looking back and threw the lighter back.
Orange-red flames rose in the dark night.
Chen Mo woke up Zheng Qiuhong.
Zheng Qiuhong's scalp went numb when he saw the dead bodies lying on the ground in front of the tavern.
Chen Mo blocked her eyes.
"Go behind the counter and get a shovel."
While Zheng Qiuhong went to get the shovel, Chen Mo dragged the surviving miners out of the door.
It's not that the miners didn't want to run away, but they were so scared that they couldn't move.
An outsider who was tricked into...
"boom!"
The miner fell crookedly.
"If you don't kill him, tomorrow there will be another thief, the day after tomorrow there will be someone collecting protection money, and next month I will be dead on the streets."
Lao Bai blew away the smoke from the gun.
"To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself."
Chen Mo took the shovel handed by Zheng Qiuhong: "I was just wondering where the person was buried."
