Puppet Master of Wasteland World 4
Ping'an understood Liu San's expression, and his originally nervous and uneasy heart suddenly turned into anger. He repeated what he had just said.
He counted to one hundred in his mind.
Mr. Ding said that if Liu San didn't want to come, then forget it. Some opportunities are missed and they are missed.
He couldn't describe the expression on Mr. Ding's face when he said this. He was still as gloomy as before, but there was a hint of awe in it that made him want to hold his breath and dare not get close.
But this feeling is not fear.
Liu San sneered inwardly. This kid had even learned how to bluff people. However, he was indeed curious about the purpose of Mr. Ding sending this kid to say this.
Liu San, who was missing one eye, looked very bad-tempered. He had picked up the evil spirit from fighting and exploring outside the city, and it seemed that he would turn against someone and hit them if he disagreed with him.
The little boy subconsciously took a few steps back.
Liu Sanke had no interest in bullying children and women, so he took a big step forward.
Ping An quickly followed.
Liu San opened the half-open door. Several lights were on in the room. The room was clean and tidy. This was the best environment that could be created in the downtown area.
Liu San's eyes were fixed on the man busy at the table. "What do you want from me?"
He had very little contact with this man named Ding Luochen. There was only one time when something broke and he asked this man to fix it. At that time, the room was dark and messy, and the other person had a gloomy expression and a weird personality.
He had no doubt that this man would one day become a real madman.
Luo Chen put down the carving knife in his hand, turned around, and swept his eyes calmly over Liu San standing there, and said directly: "I want to make a deal with you."
Liu San was not surprised at all.
He had guessed this possibility before he came. Although the area near the downtown area was crowded and chaotic, there were only a few people who were able to leave the city and were willing to conduct ordinary transactions.
He was among them.
Liu San asked: "What supplies do you want, and what can you offer in exchange?"
Ding Luochen is not a person with special abilities. He only relies on repairing some ordinary and simple things to make a living. It is already very good for him to have a stable house to live in. Where would he get the money to do business with him?
Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged as he tossed the small wooden box on the table over to Liu San. Liu San took it, cautiously opened the box, and took a look. His face was filled with confusion and doubt: "What do you mean?"
He knew that before the end of the world, there were some people who specialized in making fake eyeballs, which were said to be called artificial eyes. Wearing them for a long time could prevent eye muscle atrophy and also make the appearance invisible.
But now it's different.
Anything can happen at the end of the world. Some people with special abilities may even look like half-human, half-animals, and still live their lives normally.
Most people are both afraid of and envious of these people with special abilities.
In the doomsday era, no one knows what tomorrow will be like. Even if they know that becoming a superpower will mean they will face the fate of becoming a monster.
But it's better than ordinary people like them.
Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged: "Wear this Eye of Truth when you leave the city this time. When you come back alive, we will proceed with the next step of the transaction."
Without waiting for Liu San to speak, he said meaningfully: "Anyway, you have nothing to lose, why not give it a try."
Liu San looked at Ding Luochen carefully, and a hint of hesitation suddenly arose in his heart.
The man in front of me was the same as always, with a gloomy temperament. His pale skin still looked shocking in the dim room, and his eyes had an indescribable something.
It seems mysterious, but also like a bottomless pool.
He said stubbornly, "Okay, if this thing is useless, don't blame me for throwing it away."
The gloomy man opposite suddenly smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about this.
Liu Sanda took a big step and left.
Ping An closed the door, isolating the cold wind and air conditioning, and said angrily: "Next time he comes, I won't open the door for him."
The little boy was taking revenge on Liu San's actions in his own way.
Luo Chen couldn't help laughing and continued to work.
Ping'an didn't feel lonely either. He tidied up the room again and ran to the little doll to mutter and complain about Liu San's rudeness.
The little doll's eyes twinkled.
Liu San spent several hours to find a temporary team. These people were pretty good people, and since they had the same destination, they rented an off-road vehicle and left the city that day.
The place they were going to was a city that was neither too far nor too close to the base. It was said that it was a first-tier city before the apocalypse. Even after decades, there were still many things worth taking back.
However, with their strength, it is difficult to go deep into the city center. At most, they can search the outside carefully several times.
At night, they stayed in the lobby of a dilapidated hotel. The hotel was actually deserted and dirty, but the faded wallpaper and floor fragments still gave one a glimpse of the luxury of the hotel before the end of the world.
Everyone should make good use of their sleep and venture one thousand meters deeper tomorrow morning to try to find some good stuff before evacuating and returning to base.
In the second half of the night, the person in charge of night watch was just about to wake up the next person on duty when he heard a faint noise coming from the distance. He quickly became alert and quietly woke everyone up with a signal.
Everyone pretended to continue sleeping, but in fact they had slowly placed their hands on their weapons. Suddenly, the grass in the distance shook, and a figure suddenly jumped out. It had a slender body and at first glance looked like a combination of human and monster, dragging a long tail.
They immediately determined that it was a monster.
Rather than a more dangerous and contagious alien species.
Everyone got up, using the hotel walls as shields, and occasionally leaning out to quickly pull the trigger to attack the monster.
There are two types of guns nowadays, one is the energy gun, and the other is the old-fashioned gun that was popular before the end of the world.
The former is expensive and highly lethal, while the latter can be found in ruined cities but requires constant replenishment of bullets.
Most monsters have low IQs and can be dealt with with weapons.
When they killed the monster, they found that it was carrying a tattered backpack, which contained several canned meats and two level zero alien cores.
Everyone immediately realized that this monster was probably a powerful mutant in his lifetime, but as the infection level increased, or perhaps for other reasons, he transformed into a monster.
Everyone was extremely happy and excited.
Because these few cans alone are enough to exchange for enough coarse grains for them to eat for half a month.
The upper class loves the good stuff before the end of the world the most.
They simply cleaned up the battlefield, threw the monster's corpse far away, and lay down to prepare for sleep.
A few people were no longer sleepy and started chatting in low voices.
Liu San was also very happy. He had gained a lot this time and he had already started thinking about what to buy when he returned.
He was sitting on a worn sofa when his arm suddenly touched a foreign object in his pocket. He looked startled and took out a relatively low-quality wooden box.
He hadn't worn this thing since he came out, and he was so busy on the way that he almost forgot about it.
He hesitated for a moment, and the face of the strange man named Ding Luochen appeared in his mind. The other party gave him a very strange and contradictory feeling. He seemed very sure that this artificial eye would make him choose to proceed with the next transaction, but at the same time he didn't care much about this artificial eye.
It’s time to go back to the city.
Liu San stood up, walked out of the hotel and came to the side of the car. Facing the rearview mirror, he awkwardly and carefully put the artificial eye into the empty eye socket. The foreign body sensation made him rub his eyes a little uncomfortably.
He put down his hand, and when his eyes met the real eye in the mirror, which was so realistic that it was indistinguishable from his other eye, his expression suddenly froze. Goosebumps instantly rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his back was covered in white sweat.
He saw that his artificial eye was emitting a faint red light. At the same time, the artificial eye that had been removed from the eyeball actually had the function of a real eyeball, allowing him to see two strange pictures.
What you truly see is a peaceful night.
What the artificial eye saw were countless monsters staring at them, some hanging upside down on trees, some standing on the ground, surrounded by a strange red light, as terrifying as hell.
The so-called hotel was actually made up of countless densely packed corpses!
He suppressed the instinct to turn around and run.
Because two monsters seemed to have noticed his abnormality and were slowly approaching, their eyes still staring at him, as if they were observing whether he had noticed them.
Liu San pinched his thigh hard, then calmly looked in the mirror, saying to himself, "This artificial eye seems okay."
He didn't know whether the images seen by this artificial eye were real or fake, but the cautious habit he developed from being outside for a long time made him instinctively not ignore any suspicious dangers.
The two monsters looked at each other for a while, then slowly retreated.
Liu San continued to pretend to look in the mirror, but in fact he was using the rearview mirror to observe his surroundings. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
This place is like a base camp for corpses.
The dried corpses were like leaves hanging densely on the tree, drifting in the wind. The densely packed corpses around seemed to form a semi-encirclement with the tree as the center.
They are about to go deep into the city tomorrow, but this line actually leads to the tree.
Liu San closed one eye and observed his surroundings with only his real eye.
Everything returned to calm. The hotel looked very real, with no trace of an illusion at all, and the corpse tree in the distance had never appeared.
He no longer knew which was true and which was false.
But no matter what, we can't stay here anymore.
Liu San put down his other hand, and the red light of his artificial eye seemed to fade. He noticed that the corpses around him became blurry, and he felt a huge sense of mental power being drained away.
He instinctively jumped.
Is this artificial eye time-limited?
Liu San closed his prosthetic eye. Although he didn't know if this would slow down the passage of time, he slowed down his pace as much as possible and pretended to be completely oblivious to his surroundings. He found the team leader and said, "Captain, it won't be long until dawn. Why don't we set off early?"
The team leader was stunned, and the people around him looked up.
One of them said, "It's more dangerous to go into the city at night. Let's wait until daybreak."
The team leader nodded, obviously thinking so too.
Liu San's heart was beating fast and he wanted to run away immediately. He thought that if he couldn't persuade these people to leave, he would have to drive away by himself.
He doesn't want to die here.
Liu San's tone was already faintly anxious. He took several deep breaths before saying, "Captain, I can use my supplies as compensation in exchange for an earlier departure today. I have something urgent to attend to and need to return to base sooner."
The captain confirmed, "You don't want any of those cans?"
Liu San nodded.
These things might be hallucinations, or even dangerous things related to monsters. Of course, he would not risk touching them.
The others were immediately moved when they heard this.
You know, a can of meat is quite valuable.
"Then vote by show of hands."
All three of them raised their hands, and with Liu San constantly urging them to leave, the minority obeyed the majority, and the remaining two had no choice but to pack up their things together.
Liu San offered to drive, and no one else objected.
Liu San opened his other eye only after everyone got on the bus. The surroundings were so blurry that he could only see the shadowy figures of corpses and a huge monster in the distance that looked like it was baring its fangs and claws.
It seemed to sense that its prey was about to escape.
The shadowy figures around them were constantly approaching, as if they wanted to completely seal them in here. Liu San was extremely shocked and immediately stepped on the accelerator to accelerate madly. His life-threatening posture attracted everyone's attention.
"Liu San, what are you doing?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
The team leader in the passenger seat subconsciously wanted to stop Liu San. The roaring sound of the car might attract the attention of lurking monsters.
Liu San tensed up and turned his head to roar, "If we don't escape now, we will really die here!"
The team leader's eyes widened. He noticed that Liu San's eye sockets, which should have been empty, actually had an eyeball emitting a strange red light, which was cold and had a strange aura.
Most of the infected people will completely turn into monsters. Liu San looks like he has been infected by an alien species and turned into a mutant?
He didn't have time to ask for more details. His instinct after years of traveling made him choose to cooperate with Liu San unconditionally. "Is it related to the monster from before?"
He looked around nervously, but still couldn't see anything unusual or dangerous.
But Liu San was so horrified that veins on his forehead popped out, and he was obviously in great fear. This meant that they were in great danger and might even die at any time.
The people behind also became defensive.
Liu San frantically stepped on the accelerator, his eyes fixed on the shrinking encirclement. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the front mirror inside the car and vaguely saw a blurry shadow gradually taking shape. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he shouted to the people behind him, "Throw away those cans, quickly!"
The people behind instinctively refused, but the captain was very clear-headed and shouted, "Throw it away! Even if you make a mistake, you can always come back and pick it up."
But if you lose your life, you lose everything.
Two of them subconsciously clutched the backpack, while the other one quickly snatched it away and threw it out of the car window. The expressions of the two men suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but want to scold Liu San for being so crazy that he even threw away the can.
But the next second, the car seemed to have hit something and almost flipped over. Fortunately, Liu San turned the steering wheel, stabilized the car, and continued to step on the accelerator to rush in the fixed direction.
Everyone looked horrified.
"Did we hit something?"
They looked back, but there was nothing there, as if the scene just now was a complete illusion.
Liu San's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Seeing that the encirclement had shrunk to the point where only two or three people could pass through, he shouted, "Hold on tight!"
At this moment, everyone stopped talking and hurriedly grabbed the door handle to control their bodies.
The car rushed forward quickly.
"Bang-bang—"
The car seemed to have hit something repeatedly. A large part of the car's sides immediately caved in, and the windshield shattered. Liu San roared, "Hurry up and attack the center of the window, quickly—"
Everyone acted quickly, pulling the trigger before their brains could react.
"Bang--"
The bullets seemed to have hit something, and they subconsciously continued to pull the trigger to attack. However, Liu San inexplicably opened the car window, leaned out most of his body, and roared, "Control the steering wheel."
The team leader immediately did as he was told, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He didn't see anything, but he understood that something extremely terrifying must have happened, forcing Liu San to take such a risk.
Liu San grabbed the car door with his right hand, flew into the air with his feet, and kicked the half-dead monster away. It was lying in a very low position and there was no way to repel it with a gun.
If someone crawls in, everyone will die.
In a short period of time, Liu San felt that his body and mind were constantly sending out alarms, and the artificial eye was sending a very real pain. The surrounding scene was slowly turning black.
This means that the artificial eye will become completely useless.
But fortunately, they had already broken out of the encirclement. Liu San quickly looked back before his eyes were completely extinguished.
The dense black shadows stopped where they were and did not chase after them.
The huge black shadow in the distance seemed to be angry and threatening because it had missed its prey.
The next second, the artificial eye went completely black.
Liu San's spirit was completely drained. Before he passed out, he said to the captain: "Don't go back, just keep going forward."
Thank you two little angels for the landmines. I’m spinning in circles with excitement, ahhhhh!
