The First Mist Chapter 37: Ruins-Breaking Gun
Cao Fei understood immediately and said angrily: "Captain Zhou, I'm sorry, I really didn't know..."
Zhou Ye shook his head: "I don't blame you, it's nothing."
He exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his head and looked at the stairs, with a rare tenderness on his face: "But Rongrong is an obedient child. Although she has a bad memory and can't remember anyone, she always recognizes me..."
Xu Shen and Cao Fei were both silent when they saw his tender look.
They are all left alone, with all their relatives having died in the beast incident or other accidents.
I thought the captain was lucky to have a daughter, but I didn't expect that his daughter had some mental problems.
Xu Shen thought of the , and couldn't help wondering, did those people also suffer such hardships? Did they... also witness such darkness?
The old woman was very considerate and passed the ashtray to the table.
Zhou Ye knocked off the ash on his cigarette and said to the two of them, "You are all not young anymore, have you ever thought about getting married and having children? Don't be like He Ming, who left without leaving anything behind one day."
Cao Fei shook his head and said, "Captain, you know, for our kind of work, I don't consider it. It's okay to meet physiological needs, but getting married and having children... is too harmful."
" What about you?" Zhou Ye looked at Xu Shen.
"Uh." Xu Shen was a little embarrassed: "I haven't thought about it."
All he wants now is to become stronger and survive. Getting married is too much of a luxury for him.
"You're not young anymore, you're 18, right? In a few months you'll be 19. Those girls in the inner city are starting to get pregnant and have babies." Zhou Ye shook his head.
"This..." Xu Shen was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. If you have this idea in the future, you can come to me and I can introduce you to some reliable conditions." Zhou Ye said.
Xu Shen and Cao Fei both nodded and accepted the favor.
Xu Shen felt that Captain Zhou was like a big father who cared a lot about them, which also made him feel some long-lost warmth.
In this foggy city, perhaps there are only a few people in their team left, huddling together for warmth.
"Let's talk about cultivation."
Zhou Ye looked at the two of them and said, "I don't need to worry about Su Shuang. She knows everything and has money. As for you two, you have been exposed to too few things. Although you have money, you don't know how to use it."
"Hmm..." Xu Shen felt that the captain had spoken to his heart. Indeed, he had money now, but it seemed that apart from saving it, he had not found any way to use it.
Going to the Mona Hotel? Too extravagant.
Having been used to the poor life of the Wu people, Xu Shen would feel heartbroken if he spent a few dozen dollars, let alone a meal costing hundreds or thousands of dollars.
"In addition to being able to buy some common consumer goods and luxury goods, money is also very useful to us." Zhou Ye said: "We can buy ruins purifiers, combat weapons, and some special little things."
"Captain, are you talking about the black market?" Cao Fei obviously knew a little more than Xu Shen.
Zhou Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, some contraband items are sold on the black market, but these contraband items are only relative contraband items. Real contraband items will not appear, such as the legendary ruins gun in the Steam Association!"
"I understand. As for the rules, we just keep them secret." Cao Fei smiled.
Xu Shen asked curiously: "Captain, what is the Ruins Breaking Gun?"
"A very terrible weapon!"
Zhou Ye's eyes showed a bit of solemnity: "It can directly shoot and kill Ruin Beasts. Of course, it can also shoot and kill us humans, including Ruin Slayers. The power is very terrifying. Even C-level Ruin Beasts can't withstand a few shots in front of the Ruin Slayer Gun!
The most important thing is that even ordinary people can use it!"
Xu Shen was stunned and dumbfounded: "Such a powerful weapon?"
This is too exaggerated. The C-level beasts are so ferocious that if they are not hunted down, they will be enough to turn several city blocks into hell.
And a beast like this can be dealt with with just a few shots?
Then what are these Zhanxu people needed for?
"I've heard of this forbidden weapon a long time ago. It's so brutal..." Cao Fei sighed.
Zhou Ye saw Xu Shen's expression and seemed to understand his thoughts. A slightly sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think it's incredible? But such weapons do exist, but they are banned. At least I heard that only the military in the inner city will be equipped with them, and they dare not be circulated even on the black market!"
"After all, those nobles and high-ranking families don't want to be shot by a gun-wielding scoundrel while walking on the street."
Xu Shen was somewhat speechless.
“But if we have such a weapon, it will be easy for us to hunt down Xu, and it can also reduce casualties…” Xu Shen couldn’t help but whispered.
Zhou Ye took a puff of smoke and exhaled slowly: "Unfortunately, our lives are worthless... at least that's what those guys think."
Xu Shen was silent, and then he understood.
He used to think that money could buy a house and food, but now he finds that money can also buy life.
And a worthless life is not a life!
"Except for truly taboo items like these, other things are sold on the black market. Purifiers are 5,000 yuan a bottle, and some special combat equipment have varying prices." Zhou Ye skipped the topic of taboos and spoke to the two.
5000...Xu Shen thought that with the money he had, he could buy quite a few bottles.
Obviously, buying a cleaner is more important than buying a house.
After all, strength is the guarantee of everything. If you have strength, you will be safe wherever you live!
"When your purifier runs out and you plan to buy more, you can come to me and I will take you to the black market to broaden your horizons." Zhou Ye smiled.
Xu Shen and Cao Fei both nodded.
The three of them then chatted about other things. As the night deepened, Su Shuang came downstairs and said that Rongrong had fallen asleep.
Zhou Ye nodded upon seeing this and escorted the three of them to the door.
"What we talked about tonight counts as what you heard here. Don't talk about it outside." Zhou Ye instructed Cao Fei and Xu Shen.
Both of them nodded.
"The car is outside, you can drive back by yourselves."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Ye, the three of them returned to the car. Su Shuang said that her home was nearby and she would not go back to the 17th floor. She hailed a taxi and left.
Only Cao Fei and Xu Shen were left in the car.
The relationship between the two was average. Cao Fei was driving in the front and Xu Shen was sitting in the back. They didn't talk much along the way and the car was extremely dull.
Cao Fei turned on the car music and saw that Xu Shen did not take the initiative to talk to him. Thinking that he was an old team member and it was impossible for him to curry favor with Xu Shen, the two of them remained silent all the way.
Xu Shen was digesting everything he had felt tonight, with Maeve sitting beside him, accompanying him.
Return to Building 17 of the Xumi Bureau.
Xu Shen simply greeted Cao Fei and went upstairs.
After returning to the room, Xu Shen sat for a while, then took out the purifier from the wall and injected it.
Soon, a hot feeling like being covered by delicious food surged into the body. Compared to tasting the food directly, the feeling of the purifying agent was obviously milder, but the aftereffect was long-lasting.
After the injection, Xu Shen continued with his sword-wielding training and only rested when he felt tired.
Falling onto the bed, his mind flashed back to what he had seen tonight.
Street scenes, the Mona Hotel, the waiters, the lady's disgusted eyes, the housekeeper's cold words, Zhou Ye's daughter, the broken gun, the black market... Unknowingly, Xu Shen fell asleep.
Time flies.
On days when there were no missions to perform, Xu Shen practiced sword skills in the building every day, and went to a training class to learn literacy during his breaks.
All five of the five purification agents had been injected within half a month.
Xu Shen moved the injection time forward again and again, until he injected once every two and a half days, and found that his body still did not have too big an overreaction, which showed that his digestion speed was very efficient.
