Doomsday Totem

Chapter 218 The Raven
"Is the old street in the west of the city far from here?" Tie Slag asked with great interest.

"Hmm..." Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "I don't know how far it is. Anyway, it will take more than an hour to walk from here." Speaking of Laojie, she became very energetic and introduced excitedly, "We have a lot of delicious things there, and they are all cheap. Unlike here, it costs half a silver coin to buy a piece of bread."

"Be sure to check it out when you have time." Tie Slag replied, and then asked seemingly casually, "By the way...do you all suck Jack?"

"I don't smoke." The girl shook her head and said, "Uncle Hagrid always said that Jack is a bad thing, so let's not smoke it."

"Yeah." Iron Slag nodded, and then asked, "I heard that all the worms here suck Jack, is it true?"

"Yes..." the girl nodded and continued, "But there are some who don't smoke. For example, the Uncle Hagrid you met just now, he doesn't smoke."

"Is he also a worm?" Tie Slag asked curiously.

"Yeah, he's so powerful, he's the strongest bounty fighter in this area." Xiaoyue said enthusiastically, her eyes were full of admiration that couldn't be concealed.

"However, I heard that when the worms enter the city, they will be forcibly injected with Jack." Iron Slag put down his wine glass, glanced at Xiaoyue beside him, and continued, "As far as I know, once the worms are infected with Jack, they will be very sick. It's hard to quit."

"Yeah, most people can't quit." Xiaoyue took a sip of water and said, "We heard from Uncle Hagrid that those alien worms only need to be injected for the first time when they go through the residence formalities. Jack, if they can resist the temptation this time, they won't need to touch again in the future."

"It's really powerful to be able to quit after injecting Jack." Tie Slag couldn't help sighing.Those worms who can resist Jack's temptation must have a heart of steel.

"Yes, yes..." Xiaoyue Xiaoji nodded like pecking at rice.

"What kind of person is this Hagrid you're talking about?" Tie Slag asked casually.

"Uncle Hagrid looks a bit fierce, and usually he doesn't like to talk. When we first met, many people thought he was a bad guy, but he is actually a good guy." Xiaoyue replied.

"What else?" Tie Slag asked.For some reason, he became very interested in this worm who could resist Jack's temptation.

At this moment, a trace of doubt flashed in Xiaoyue's eyes.Although this doubt was fleeting, it was still captured by Iron Slag.In an instant, the atmosphere became dull in vain.After a while, Xiaoyue broke the silence first.She smiled sweetly at Tie Slag, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then asked in a tired voice, "Uncle, are you here to drink?"

"I just arrived here not long ago, so I don't know much about the situation, so I asked around." Tie Slag said sincerely.

"Uncle, Xiaoyue is just a little girl, she doesn't know much." Xiaoyue hinted with flickering eyes.

Tie Slag thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then stared into her eyes and said, "Come on, tell his story." As he spoke, he took out a gold coin and put it on the table, and pushed it over , "Well said, it is yours."

"Actually, Uncle Hagrid is nothing special. Just like other bounty fighters, he usually makes a living by hunting and killing bugs, and occasionally joins the city defense army." Xiaoyue turned her head and looked at the gold coin and said.

"I'm just curious about what kind of worm can resist Jack's temptation, so I want to hear his story, nothing else." Tie Slag explained.

"I heard from people here that Uncle Hagrid used to smoke Jack, and he smoked Jack for many years, and then..." Xiaoyue sighed, and continued, "His brother died in a conflict..."

"He has weaned Jack off since then."

"People here say that the relationship between the two brothers is very good. They often come here to eat and drink, but they never find girls."

"Uncle Hagrid used to laugh a lot, but he doesn't smile now, and keeps a straight face every day."

"And..." Xiaoyue seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and added, "His brother's name is Raven. Everyone in the old street knows this name, but most people don't know it's his brother."

Raven?

In an instant, these two words flashed in Tie Slag's mind, and a feeling of deja vu came to his heart...

"Uncle, can you buy me a glass of wine? A glass of rum only costs half a silver coin." Xiaoyue asked.

"En." Tie Slag, lost in thought, nodded, and then stretched out two fingers.Xiaoyue immediately summoned the waiter and ordered two glasses of rum.

After thinking for a while, Tie Slag finally remembered.Many years ago, when he was about 12 years old, he and Lao Niu offended a gangster who had just entered Tieshan Town.The situation at that time was very complicated. Originally, there were several gangs in Tieshan Town who had received the favor of Old Man Tie. Whenever they had conflicts with others, these people would always stand by their side.However, the hooligan gang they offended this time had close contacts with a certain mercenary group in Sand City. Besides possessing a large number of weapons, they also hired three reformers.Therefore, the local gangs in Tieshan Town did not dare to participate in this incident.

Just when Tie Slag and Lao Niu were beaten and hid, not daring to show their faces, this hooligan gang suddenly disappeared overnight.Afterwards, Iron Slag sneaked into the gang's stronghold, and among the mess and blood all over the place, he saw two big bright red characters - Raven.

In the vast sea of ​​people, there must be more than one person named Raven.Tie Slag never thought that the Raven here would be the same person as the Raven back then, but he liked the name.

Not long after, the waiter brought two glasses of rum and left.Seeing the back of the waiter leaving, Tie Slag picked up his glass and took a sip, then asked, "Who is Raven? Why does everyone in the old street know about it?"

"The hero of the old street." The girl said seriously, her pious eyes were full of respect.

"What did he do?" Tie Slag asked.

"In the past, all children born in Lao Cai had to go through formal residence procedures when they reached the age of 12, and they had to be injected with Jack by the way."

"Five years ago, a group of clerks came to Laojie to handle the procedures for the children. Raven rushed to the scene when he heard the news, to stop them from harming the children..."

"In the end, Raven had a fierce conflict with them..."

"After Raven died, people in the old street rose up to rebel. Since then, Fengsha Castle has not enforced this rule."

"I'm lucky, because of the raven, I didn't get Jack."

After listening to the story, Tie Slag picked up the wine glass and gestured to Xiaoyue: "Come on, for Raven, the hero of the old street, let's drink!"

"Cheers!" Xiaoyue picked up the wine glass with both hands, touched it with Tie Slag, and drank it down in one gulp.However, this little girl didn't know how to drink very much. When the high concentration of alcohol flowed down her throat, she coughed violently.

Tie Slag stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, softly persuading: "Friend, drink slowly, don't rush."

"No...for Raven...our hero..." Xiaoyue suppressed her cough and drank the whole glass of high-quality wine in one go.

After a moment of silence, Tie Slag saw that it was almost time, so he summoned the waiter and paid two silver coins for the wine and five silver coins for the accompanying wine.Before leaving, Xiaoyue stuffed back the gold coin that Tie Zha rewarded her, and said, "Thank you for your respect for the old street heroes, I cannot accept this gold coin."

"Take it, find another job, this is the respect for a hero." Tie Slag returned the gold coin and said.

"Thank you." Xiaoyue bowed deeply to the strange young man, and when she raised her head again, that tall figure had disappeared into the dim light...

After leaving the bar, Iron Slag continued to wander the streets.Not long after, he passed a large gun shop, looked up at the signboard, and walked in.Although there are only two silver coins and five copper coins left in his pocket at the moment, he still has Mu Yuqinxin's card, which is a star stone black card that can be used unimpeded all over the world, a symbol of top status.

After entering the door, a female shopping guide greeted her, bowed and said, "Hello, customer, what can I do for you?"

"Just take a look." Tie Slag said, then looked around.This gun shop has thousands of square meters, divided into different areas by category.There are five areas: firearms area, heavy weapon area, cold weapon area, blasting weapon area and accessories area.The weapons here are densely placed, which looks a bit messy, unlike CSUM's exchange center, which is loosely located, clearly displayed, and luxuriously decorated.

On the left side of the entrance is the blasting weapon area, which is a relatively rare category, so he walked in and looked around.

Since the ancient nuclear war, human beings who have re-established civilization on the wasteland have spontaneously formed a consensus.This consensus is called the Human Pact.

The "Human Covenant" overrides all conventions and legal provisions including the "Universal Covenant", but the content is very simple, only one.

"Humanity will not develop, manufacture or use any weapons of mass destruction."

This convention is the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind condensed through profound historical lessons and thousands of years of suffering.The reason is simple, as long as any force or organization manufactures a weapon with a radius of 1000 meters, it will cause another force or organization to start developing a weapon with a radius of 2000 meters, and then there will be a radius of 5000 meters. meter radius...

By analogy, the nuclear bomb will soon return to the world and obliterate everything again.Perhaps the destruction this time will be more thorough, leaving no room...

Today, artillery shells, rockets, and small missiles are the ultimate in weapons of mass destruction.This is mainly to fight against the invasion of bee ants and alien planes, otherwise even these will be banned from production.Some scholars believe that the reason why the bee ants have an absolute advantage in numbers, but they did not attack the world of Silver City on a large scale; the main reason is that they are worried that they will use nuclear weapons again if they push humans into a hurry.

Regardless of humans or bee ants, the ultimate goal of wars between planes is to compete for resources, not to destroy each other.

Therefore, explosive weapons are in short supply in most places, and the larger the range, the rarer it is.The standard individual combat configuration of the academy alliance only has two blasting grenades.The rockets for individual soldiers are even more expensive and scarce.
