Chapter 698: Excuse me, do you have a fire?

Translator: 549690339

Xia Chong’s figure disappeared into the ruins, leaving Lu Xin all alone on the ground.

He sized up the terrain around him, then climbed up the wall to a dilapidated high-rise building near the edge. He sat on the edge of the high-rise, his feet hanging in the air. He quietly looked North and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket.

The field of view here was wide, and it could guarantee that he would find the traces of the hell emissary as soon as it appeared.

Lu Xin sighed as he took out a cigarette. He then took out an exquisite Zippo lighter and wiped the cigarette.

There was no fire?

After fiddling with it for a while, Lu Xin dug out the core and found that the sponge was dry and out of oil.

In order to light up the summer worms, he had lit it for too long.

She rummaged through the room again and found the cigarette box and lighter that Vice President Xiao had given her, but she couldn’t light it either.

This might be because he had not used it for a long time.

With the crumpled cigarette in his mouth, Lu Xin helplessly looked up at the vast wilderness.

He was also a person who had ten million in savings and was about to have another two million in his account

But now, he couldn’t even light a cigarette?

He felt an inexplicable sense of defeat. After some serious consideration, he still did not call Xia Chong to ask her to send a lighter over.

He could only wait for the mission to end quickly and then go back to find the lighter.

Lu Xin thought helplessly as he slowly let go of his thoughts.

Xia Chong and the other aptitude users from the central city seemed to be treated quite well

From the issue of treatment, he thought of the issue of money.

Then, she remembered that she would definitely get the money for the guitar back from number seven.

In addition, number Seven’s work wasn’t very glorious. She went to the wilderness to be a Bandit. However, if she had been a Bandit for many years, perhaps she had already accumulated a lot of money? It was a pity that an aptitude user like her was too difficult to capture.

He needed to think about what plan he would use to prevent her from escaping the next time they met.

From number seven, he thought of the children in the orphanage.

Number seven was alive, so was little nineteen, and his sister   She was also living happily by his side.

Then, how many of the children in the orphanage were still alive?

The reticent number one?

Number two, who had been wearing a pair of small round eyes since she was young?

The number three who liked to squat in the corner naked like a Savage and eat raw rats?

The number five who loved to fight?

The No. 8 who loved to complain?

There was also the gluttonous eleven, the sleepwalking twelve, and the fourteen who always hung himself on the beam to scare people

Gradually, Lu Xin’s heart was filled with a strange warmth.

I miss them so much

In Black Swamp city, it was like he had a clear nightmare. In the nightmare, he had been endlessly close to the sea of despair. However, after waking up, he felt it for the first time. It was an extremely clear feeling of emotions surging in his heart.

Although he was embarrassed to say it, he did seem to be a little sentimental.

He missed teacher Lu in qingang and his classmates whom he thought he would never see again.

He missed number seven as well. He really wanted to see her again.

Missing her and wanting to kill her were two completely different things.

Lu Xin let his emotions run wild as he jumped from one matter to another. Under the Crimson Moon, he sat on the edge of a dilapidated building, swinging his legs and staring into space with a cigarette in his mouth.

But in his memories, he experienced those faint feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and it was difficult for him to extricate himself.

However, when he thought of happy, he subconsciously rubbed the lighter and realized that there was still a string of sparks.

I want to smoke a cigarette. Why isn’t the hell emissary here yet? what a waste of time

Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of an engine could be heard from afar.

Lu Xin turned around and saw a fleet of carriages slowly approaching from the other side of the abandoned town.

The convoy did not even turn on the lights. They looked very careful as they drove carefully on the road under the light of the Crimson Moon.

The tires screeched against the road.

When they got closer, they realized that it was a convoy of seven or eight cars. The ones in front were ” steel monsters ” that had thickened bodies and heads, and were even equipped with some heavy weapons. Behind the convoy was a tall black truck.

“A passing convoy?”

Lu Xin was considering if he should borrow a fire from them.

“Creak  ”

The convoy drove to the edge of the town, but did not enter the complex and dilapidated streets. Instead, it stopped directly outside the town.

A lot of people came down from the inside and gathered together to discuss something. Then, they quickly spread out in teams. They held miniature flashlights in their hands and quickly searched the dilapidated abandoned town, as if to see if there was an ambush.

Lu Xin saw that they seemed to be very nervous, so he sat there obediently.

He didn’t want to get into trouble, so he didn’t want to provoke them.

However, the town was not big, and most of the buildings had collapsed.

Their teams quickly searched the area, and soon, one of the teams approached the barely intact three-story building Lu Xin was in. They also heard footsteps quickly approaching from the bottom of the building.

Upon closer inspection, he could hear heavy leather boots stepping on the ground, as well as the sound of guns rubbing and shaking.

This seemed to be a fully armed squad?

Lu Xin didn’t want to be a busybody, so he just sat there quietly.

There must be something important for them to be so nervous.

If he were to talk to them now, there was a high possibility that he would trigger an overreaction from them.

Perhaps the other party had left after searching the building. Most people wouldn’t think about checking the roof, right?

Just as he was thinking about this, the footsteps quickly circled the room one floor below him. They paused for a moment, as if they were ready to leave. However, at this moment, a low voice suddenly said, “”There’s a staircase that leads to the roof. Let’s go up and take a look.”

“Aren’t you being too careful?”

Immediately after, one of the team members mumbled,”It’s just receiving goods, do you have to be so nervous?”

if there’s really an ambush, it’s definitely not one person. He’s been discovered long ago

“Cut the crap.”

“Do you want to be reincarnated by the leader?” another person reprimanded in a low voice.

“After checking this place, let’s go somewhere else.”

The person being lectured didn’t say anything. Soon, the sound of climbing could be heard, and the few of them arrived at the top floor.

They bent down and held their guns. They scanned the empty roof with their miniature flashlights and were about to turn and leave.

However, when they turned around, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

His body suddenly stiffened. With a swish, he turned around again and pointed to the side of the building.

Under the light of the miniature flashlight, a young man sitting by the building slowly turned around and looked at them.

His expression was a little helpless and awkward, but he slowly squeezed out a friendly and kind smile.

“Hello, do you have a fire?”

“Chi  ”

It was impossible to describe the feelings of these people.

The deserted town, the silent and dilapidated building, the empty rooms and stairs covered in cobwebs, and in theory, there should not be a single person, but he had met a gentle and kind young man who sat by the building and asked him to borrow. fire

His scalp instantly went numb, and his fine hair stood up one by one.

Their hands trembled as they tried to pull the trigger. However, due to their professional military training, they managed to hold themselves back. After trembling at the same time, they were stunned for a good two to three seconds before they suddenly took large strides toward Lu Xin and raised their muzzles high.

With his fingers hooked on the ring, the safety was already unlocked. He shouted at Lu Xin, “”You   Who’s there?”

“Ju   Raise your hand!”

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Xin helplessly raised his hand to face the black muzzle.

I’m just sitting here waiting, who’s in my way?

“You   Who are you?”

hurry up and get up. Don’t take out your weapons

Seeing Lu Xin raise his hand, the three armed men heaved a sigh of relief. However, their voices still trembled slightly, and their fingers refused to pull away from their rings. It was too strange to meet such a person in the middle of the night.

Lu Xin was an honest man.

He didn’t feel like he was in the way of anyone by waiting for someone here in the middle of the night.

However, the other party had a gun in his hand after all. Moreover, he felt a little apologetic when he saw their frightened looks.

So, he stood up obediently, turned around, and faced the muzzle of the gun. “Don’t get too excited, I’m not a bad person.”

“I’m just waiting for someone here, it has nothing to do with you  ”

He said he was not a bad person

Would a good person stay alone in such a desolate place in the middle of the night?

The three soldiers didn’t dare to let their guard down. They pointed their guns at Lu Xin, ready to shoot if he made any unusual movements. The leader immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie stuck on his collar and reported in a low voice that he had found an unusual person.

Soon, a voice came from the walkie-talkie, “”Bring him back,”

“Let’s go.”

A few guns were pointed at Lu Xin’s face, and his tone did not allow any room for doubt.

“This  ”

Lu Xin fell silent for a moment before he quickly thought of a few questions.

Although the other party seemed a little overbearing, it was not to the extent of killing someone for such a small misunderstanding.

However, if there was a conflict, the other party would shoot at him.

Even if he could subdue them before they fired, their companions would probably rush over immediately.

At that time, a gunfight would be inevitable, and at least a few people would die.

After all, when they fired at him, it meant that they wanted to kill him at that moment

From the perspective of the equal relationship between people, if they wanted to kill him, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have the intention to kill them.

So, in order to protect them

He pondered for a moment, raised his hand, nodded, and said, “”Okay, okay. Don’t get too excited. I’ll go with you.”

“Speaking of which, there are so many of you here. Some of you should have a fire, right?”
