Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 172 Gaining Trust
Watching the man in black approaching, Wa Dou trembled all over. He was not as worried as he was when he was arrested and imprisoned.

His mouth was blocked by the prison clothes that he had not washed for who knows how many years, and the fishy smell filled his mouth, but he couldn't care less about it now.

Old Shaq looked at the hornless man in horror, the meaning in his eyes was obvious:

'Why didn't you tell me he was so powerful. '

The other party's eyes were also very innocent: 'I said it. '

"Bah, cough." The balled up cloth was actually pushed out by Wa Dou with his tongue.

He didn't have time to stop chattering and said quickly: "Brother, let me go...I will follow you from now on!"

As an old Shaq, Wa Dou did not hesitate to beg for mercy from humans.

When he first came out of prison, those missions to revive Shaq's legacy had long been forgotten.

Originally, among gangs, strength was respected and all races were not tabooed.Not to mention humans being the boss, there are also bees who are the eldest brothers.

Wa Dou also hated that he had been in jail for so long that he had forgotten about the world and started to have big dreams.

"Brother, you can do anything you want me to do, you just want to spare my life!"

The rather old Shaq didn't hesitate to call Lu Meng "big brother".

The hornless man lay aside, silent and surprised.

Why did this Shaq, who was so awesome before, beg for mercy so quickly?Isn't it just to be taken back again?

Looking at the yellow paper wanted notice in the hand of the man in black, it was obvious that he was here for the bounty.

Lu Meng took a look at Old Shaq, who couldn't help but curl up in a circle and kowtow like an insect. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and pierced the back of his neck with a sword.

At the same time, he silently recited: -2500.

——The bounty on dead bodies is halved.

Lu Meng looked at the hornless man who was already dumbfounded with blood all over his face, and realized that he hadn't figured out the situation yet.

The same sword killed him.

This fugitive named Wa Dou was experienced and guessed that Lu Meng was not an ordinary bounty hunter.

Looking at this man who is dressed in black and has his head and face covered, you can tell that he does not want to reveal his identity and whereabouts.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to hand over the living fugitives to Scone's prison.That is to say, they would rather have a smaller bounty, but also silence them first and turn them into safe and honest corpses.

Therefore, Wa Dou immediately begged for mercy, but still failed to convince Lu Meng.

Lu Meng wiped off the blood on their bodies before putting the sword back into its sheath.

He can accept the surrender of the enemy as long as it is easy to control and does not cause too much trouble.

If you take this old Shaq with you, you have to help him solve the wanted problem first, and you are too lazy to worry about so much.

Lu Meng jumped away without taking the two corpses with him.

Just tell Huo Buyang the location afterwards and let him "accidentally" discover the fugitives who got into trouble while patrolling.

This way it won't appear out of the blue - how come you, a newly joined mercenary, are able to capture fugitives every day?

Moreover, the companions who patrol together can also share the credit. They will not be too jealous of Xiao Huo. At most, they think that this young man has strong reconnaissance ability and is a little lucky. Maybe they will be more willing to cooperate with him.

In this way, the network of people extending from Lumeng will be more extensive.

……

Armor Shop, second floor.

Yue Yu sat on the chair, feeling sleepy in waves, but always woke up at the last moment, shivering.

It's not that he wants to sit, it's that he can't move.

He was covered in plate armor and dressed like a can.

With Yue Yu's small body, he couldn't support such an armor at all, but Boss Yue felt uneasy and forced the store clerk to put it on for him.

As a result, when he realized it, he was trapped inside.

Yue Yu is not such a person who panics easily on weekdays, but what happened a few days ago really shocked him so much.

The human boss originally thought they were well prepared and confidently repelled the incoming men in black.

As a result, I found out the next day that they were not the main target of the opponent's attack at all.

Even the city defense troops of Scone Town were defeated.

So what does the defensive strength of his own store mean?

Although Yue Yu has been very successful, with his level and knowledge, he still can't tell the difference between Krall's Choice and the Skeleton Group, and only regards them as the same type of men in black.This is also the understanding of all ordinary townspeople.

They are all rioters anyway. Who among the serious people understands the difference in their philosophies?
Coupled with the recent large bounty offered by Scone Town and the hiring of temporary workers, the salary offered by Yue Yu as a private owner is no longer so attractive, and many guards have other ideas.

Especially the technology hunters, they directly terminated their contract with Yue Yu.

——You can’t blame them. Technology Hunters can gain a foothold in Scone Town only by cooperating with the authorities.

Now that Sikun officials intend to hire them, the technology hunters have to give some face and bring back all kinds of manpower.

In other words, Sikun Official is a high-quality customer with higher authority, probably second only to the mechanics of his old employer.

Without the powerful and well-equipped technology hunters, Yue Yu has no confidence in protecting his own safety.

He even thought about selling the store and taking the cash to Union City to become a rich man and spend the rest of his life.

It's just that the road to Union City is not that easy... the businessmen there are even more ruthless.

Fortunately, Yue Yu still has one last glimmer of hope.

He held a horizontal knife in his arms.

It was clearly the weapon used by the man in black that night.

This appeared in his room this morning, along with the shattered window glass all over the floor.

The loud noise woke Yue Yu up immediately. When he saw the horizontal knife, he was so frightened that he peed on the spot. He thought it was the man in black who came to warn and threaten him.

But when he had the courage to pick up the Heng Dao, he discovered that there were subtle changes on it.

“The grass will wither and the flowers will wither, because the breath of Oakland is blowing on them.”

There is a new circle of inscriptions engraved on the sword.

This comes from the scriptures of the Holy Nation Church, which tells that all things rise and fall because of their gods, and only Auckland itself will last forever.

The signature is a small sacred fire pattern, which is almost imperceptible.

It is true that this knife is the weapon of the men in black, but as Shaqs, they will never engrave Oakland's scriptures on their weapons.

The core of the teachings of the Oakland Holy Cult is to expel all alien races except humans. Isn't it unhealthy for them to believe in this?
Yue Yu immediately understood that this was the signal given to him by the swordsman in black.

Apart from the robbers, he was the only one who had such a knife in his hand.

That man was also a fervent believer in the Oakland religion.

He may come looking for himself.

"Dangdangdang."

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound.

Yue Yu turned his head and looked around, only to see a black shadow hanging upside down outside the window, tapping lightly on the wooden frame.

Boss Yue was subconsciously frightened. It would not be an exaggeration to say that such an appearance was like a life-threatening assassin.

But how could the assassin be so polite? He knew that this was the swordsman in black who had saved his life, and he quickly said: "Come in quickly, hero!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Meng pushed open the leaky window and turned over.

Seeing this familiar figure, Yue Yu felt a mixture of sadness and joy.

In his excitement, an inexplicable force pushed him to stand up, dragging his heavy armor with him, and stepped forward to hold Lu Meng's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

This time Lu Meng did not avoid it, but gently returned his grip:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The last time he avoided physical contact was because he was injured and needed to be on guard against sneak attacks; this time he came here to gain Yue Yu's trust, so it was better to be cordial.

"Hero, my benefactor, I finally see you again..." Yue Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The oppression of the black-clad robbers, the wavering of the guards, the termination of the contract with the technology hunter... all the pressure seemed to be swept away at this moment.

"If you don't come again, maybe I'll have to sell the store and run away, haha!" Realizing that he was a little out of sorts, Yue Yu made a casual joke to lighten the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, the other party became quiet after hearing this.

Swordsman in black: "...Is it really for sale?"

Yue Yu: "Huh?"

Speaking of which, why does the chain hood on the benefactor's head look familiar?
