Chapter 60: Thief? The name really suits him.
A man ran over from a distance. Seeing the man's miserable state, he rolled his eyes at first, then turned around, put on a smile, and said, "What did this bastard do to offend you two? Let's talk it over."
"Brother, the one being bullied now is..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, the man turned around and scolded him.
Lin Mian's gaze flicked between the two men, then glanced at Jiang Jie. When Jiang Jie retracted his water thorn, he said, "He stole something from me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man slapped the other person on the back of the head with a slap so loud that it seemed like he was slapping him like a watermelon.
Lin Mian was startled by the noise. How could this person believe his words so quickly?
"You bastard, why are you doing such sneaky things again?!" The man knew the bastard's character too well.
Before the apocalypse, the other party was a habitual thief, but he had never committed any serious crime. He usually just stole wallets and cell phones.
Now that he has awakened his superpowers and joined their superpower team, he is unable to change his impulsive nature day by day. Instead, he feels more adept at using space.
I advised him not to cause trouble a long time ago. Now the situation is chaotic and there are many people with special abilities. I'm afraid he will be beaten to death if he offends someone tough. As a result, he can't change this bad habit. Now look, he has hit a wall!
He deserves to be beaten up!
But he couldn't really ignore the life or death of this thing. After all, it was the only space-ability user in their team. If it died, it would be inconvenient for them to move supplies in the future.
Thinking of this, he looked at the man who looked difficult to deal with and said with a smile, "I'm the captain of his special ability team. My name is Qin Liang. I'm really sorry. I will make him return the things to you two and give you some supplies as compensation. How about you just let him go?"
Jiang Yan looked at him silently after hearing this. He was a smart man who knew how to solve the problem. He apologized with a good attitude and offered compensation. At the same time, he pointed out that there was a special ability team behind them, which made him cautious and not make things too ugly.
He didn't say anything. Qin Liang looked at Lin Mian, who was more easy to talk to. Unfortunately, he silently took a step behind the man and had no intention of helping him out.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "How about we go to a quieter place to discuss this? It's a bit chaotic here with all the people coming and going."
Some people here know their special ability team, how embarrassing.
This time, Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows and agreed, "Okay."
Qin Liang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the unfortunate thing still bound by the water, and said, "How about we free him first?"
Jiang Yan put his hands in his pockets and said, "Untie him. If you run away, who can I complain to? It's better to tie him up. His legs are not tied, so it won't affect his walking."
"Hey, you..."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Qin Liang turned his head and glared at him, and he closed his mouth in disappointment.
The result was that he had his hands and neck tied and was dragged away like a dog being walked. Forced by the man's methods and the captain's intimidation, he dared not say a word. It was so difficult for him!
The group found a quiet, deserted street, and Qin Liang kicked the man in the calf. The man howled in pain, "Sun Xiaotou! Stop pretending here and apologize!"
Hearing his name, Lin Mian tilted his head. Thief? He really lived up to his name.
Sun Xiaotou, who was grinning, caught a glimpse of his surprised expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking. He said loudly, "It's the 'Tou' of 'Tongtao'!"
His father gave him this name because he hoped that he would live up to his name and live a transparent life. Who knew that he would go astray? Now it seems like a irony. I don't know how many people have laughed at him.
Lin Mian finally understood, and then he felt a little sympathy in his heart, as his own name was often misunderstood.
Seeing a hint of sympathy in his eyes, Jiang Yan smiled. When he raised his eyes again, the smile in his eyes disappeared. "First, take our things out of your space."
When Qin Liang heard this, he turned his head and glared at the stupid thing, with a look on his face that said "You exposed the space."
Sun Xiaotou smiled bitterly, not daring to argue. Who would have thought that these two people could guess his ability right away when they couldn't find the item? Most people wouldn't make such a connection, unless...
They've encountered other space-powered people before!!
Although he hasn't seen the second one so far, it doesn't mean he is the only one.
Looking at his stupid expression, Qin Liang sighed deeply. If this thing wasn't useful, he would have wanted to beat him to death. "Hurry up and take it out. Why are you still looking at me?"
Sun Xiaotou curled his lips reluctantly, spread out his tied hands, and a wooden gun appeared in his hands out of thin air.
The current rolled up the wooden magazine and brought it back to Lin Mian. He reached out to take it and checked it. The bullets inside were all there, so he put them back into his backpack.
I originally thought it would be more convenient to put it behind my waist, but now it seems that it will be safer to put it in a space.
Qin Liang looked at the water that was controlled freely, and secretly evaluated the man's strength in his heart, feeling that he was far superior to himself.
The supernatural power that has been used to bind Sun Xiaotou for such a long time has been continuously consuming supernatural energy, but this person seems to be fine, and he still has the energy to spare for more, and he is very relaxed throughout the whole process.
He felt that he was completely comparable to those powerful military psychics who could fight against B-level mutants alone.
"Hey, I've given you the things, can you let me go now?" Sun Xiaotou moved his hands. The water was squeezing him so hard that he would definitely have bruises afterwards.
"Where's the compensation you agreed on?" Jiang Yan was not a man who was easy to talk to, and he would not let him go just like that.
"Why are you still...ah!"
This time, before Qin Liang could stop him, the water hit his face first, leaving a red and swollen mark, and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"If you can't speak properly, then don't say anything." He stole things and dared to shout in front of him. It must be because someone supported him. He thought he was capable, right? Jiang Jie sneered. He didn't mind pulling out another tongue.
He deserves it! Qin Liang didn't feel any sympathy, and even wanted to slap him twice. He thought that if he never learned his lesson, he should suffer a little. When he met such a ruthless person, he would just bear with it. "Sir, if you are not satisfied, you can slap him a few more times. Just please spare his life."
Jiang Yan didn't show any mercy to him and slapped him hard a few more times. This time he didn't dare to say a word and finally calmed down.
Seeing that he had given up, Qin Liang spoke again, "Sun Xiaotou, take out a few boxes of supplies from your space and pick out the good ones."
This time, Sun Xiaotou took out the things honestly and piled them on the ground in front of him.
Qin Liang snorted coldly and looked at him with a headache. He thought to himself that someone would have to watch over him from now on. If he came again, not only would they lose the space ability user, but the stored supplies might also be lost.
The team had always been dissatisfied with Sun Xiaotou's inappropriate behavior, and was also suspicious of his special abilities. After what happened today, Qin Liang felt that he could no longer relax.
The three whole boxes of supplies were all canned meat and vacuum-packed meat products. They were quite sincere, so Jiang Jie reluctantly accepted them and finally took back the water flow that had been restraining the other party.
Seeing this, Qin Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These things are not easy to move. If you two are satisfied, we can help deliver them to your place."
The service was quite good. Jiang Jie looked at him and said, "We drove the car, just get it back to the car."
Qin Liang certainly had no objection and signaled Sun Xiaotou with his eyes to take the supplies back first.
Sun Xiaotou, with a bruised face and nose, was now obedient after being beaten. He covered his painful face and obediently worked as a porter.
It was all his fault that he had a sudden impulse and wanted to see if there was anything else on the man's waist. Now, not only did he get a beating, but he also lost three boxes of high-quality supplies. All of this must be blamed on him.
On the way back to the car, Qin Liang glanced at the always aloof man from time to time. The man's expression softened only occasionally when he spoke to the young man next to him.
He secretly speculated about the relationship between the two people, but did not show any strangeness on his face. He looked for an opportunity to talk to them, "May I know what your names are, gentlemen?"
Jiang Jie glanced at him and said, "My last name is Jiang, and his last name is Lin."
Qin Liang didn't reveal any dissatisfaction even though he didn't mention their full names. "So it's Mr. Jiang and Mr. Lin. Did you two just arrive in City C these past two days?"
Most people might think that the other person's personality is a bit pretentious, but he just thinks it is a kind of confidence in his own strength.
Every time the men looked at them, they looked as if they were trash. It wasn't that they were deliberately humiliating them, but they really didn't take them seriously at all.
Considering the other party's always good attitude, Jiang Jie responded to his question with a polite "hmm". "I arrived yesterday."
"Are you two interested in staying here permanently?" Qin Liang asked tentatively. Meeting the other party's gaze, he continued, "Although City C isn't one of the largest officially safe zones, it's a decent size. The current regulations are relatively reasonable. Moreover, there are a considerable number of both military psychics and ordinary psychics like us. There are many psychic teams in the zone, so safety is relatively guaranteed."
Jiang Jie heard him list several advantages and smiled, "Sounds like it's good."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "The world is in chaos now. It's not easy to find a safe place to stay. This place is a relatively good choice."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other person's expression and said, "If Mr. Jiang is interested in staying, perhaps he could consider joining our superpower team."
Sun Xiaotou, who was covering his face with his hands and feeling sorry for himself, looked up when he heard him say that. No, he had a premonition that if this vicious man joined their team, he would definitely have a hard time in the future.
As luck would have it, Jiang Jie also glanced at him at this time.
Not to mention that he had no intention of staying, even if he did, he probably wouldn't consider this superpower team.
It’s unreliable to think about a team with such stupid things.
Meeting his gaze, Sun Xiaotou subconsciously shrank his neck and felt the wound on his body begin to ache again.
Not only that, he felt as if he was being despised.
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Yan did not refuse outright, but gave an ambiguous answer.
Qin Liang was tactful enough not to say anything more. Sometimes talking too much would only annoy people.
When they arrived at the parking lot, he instructed Sun Xiaotou to put the things in the car, and then said, "While you two are in the safe zone, if you have any problems, you can come to me."
After saying that, he took out a pen and wrote the address of their team in the safe zone on the supply box.
Seeing this, Jiang Jie pondered for two seconds and said, "I actually have a favor I'd like you to help me with."
Qin Liang, who was putting away his pen, looked up when he heard this. "Oh? What can I do for you?"
"I want to find someone," Jiang Jie raised his arms and folded them across his chest, tapping his arms with his fingertips. There was a hint of amusement in his expression. "A wood-type mutant whose tongue was pulled out. He also entered the safe zone yesterday."
Originally, he wanted to keep an eye on it himself for the next two days, but now that he had the hard labor delivered to his doorstep, he might as well use it.
Pulling out, pulling out the tongue? Sun Xiaotou subconsciously touched his mouth, and for some reason he blurted out what was in his heart, "You didn't do it, did you?!"
Jiang Jie glanced at him sideways and smiled, "Yes, he is really too noisy. It hurts my ears."
Sun Xiaotou covered his mouth tightly. Damn, this guy is so scary!
They've already pulled out their tongue, yet they're still looking for him. Perhaps the matter isn't over yet... Qin Liang didn't ask the reason and said readily, "Okay, I'll help Mr. Jiang look for him."
Jiang Jie was very pleased with his understanding, told him the address of the hotel, and took Lin Mian into the car.
After their car drove away, Qin Liang turned around and glared at the people around him, "You really got into trouble today. The loss of supplies will be deducted from your personal expenses!"
Sun Xiaotou's face instantly turned sad and he didn't dare to say anything more.
