Chapter 20 The Third Shadow
I burned 4 evil spirits this morning, but nothing was delivered.
The atmosphere during the cremation was more depressing than usual. Neither of them spoke much, and both seemed to have something on their minds.
Wang Jian stammered several times, as if he wanted to confess something, but in the end he swallowed the words back into his throat. He ran to the door to smoke, fiddling with his phone in silence.
Feng Mu glanced at Wang Jian's back with gloomy eyes and had no chance to ask what was muttering in his heart.
Who did Wang Jian betray? Was it me?
The punch I threw that day made a loud noise. It was my negligence. Also, I have been doing gymnastics in the incinerator these past two days. Was that also abnormal in his eyes?
Luo Ji, Tao Fei, Sun Yi, and Wang Jian, the only thing we have in common is that we all dropped out of school. I can't figure out what the basis for the Green Wolf Gang's suspicion is.
But anyway, I'm doubting the scope yet.
Feng Mu looked at the corpse in the flames, suddenly sneered, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It would be great if living people could also open their chests like the corpses and reveal the secrets in their hearts."
Under the gaze of the evil corpse, Feng Mu calmed down and began to do gymnastics.
It was a rare free afternoon. There were no zombies or human corpses. Feng Mu did gymnastics alone, while Wang Jian went to the contaminated area to accompany his father.
get off work.
Passing by No. 47 Middle School.
Just like the previous two days, Feng Mu stopped for a moment and saw a yellow-haired man smoking a cigarette. He held up the list and looked at it in front of him for a few seconds, then walked towards him quickly.
"Wang Jian didn't lie to me. I'm on the list."
Without waiting for the yellow-haired man to get close, Feng Mu quickly pedaled his bicycle and turned into the alley next to him.
The yellow-haired man cursed and spat on the ground, but he didn't chase after him. It was more likely that he felt there was no need to chase him today.
Feng Mu turned out from the other end of the alley and did not rush home. Instead, he rode for 20 minutes and arrived at 978 Street.
The reason why it is called 978 Street is because it was once the base of the 978th Survey Corps.
Today, the 978th Survey Corps has moved to a new base. This area has been abandoned for a while, and later some rag pickers and scavengers moved in.
More and more people gathered here, building up shanty towns. Then some small vendors gathered here. More and more people came here, and over the years, this street developed.
There are short tin buildings, messy shanty towns, wildly growing shops, and hair salons scattered throughout the alleys, waving at their customers.
And just like in the Young and Dangerous movies, each gang will formally occupy a piece of territory.
This form of rent is not protected by law and is not written on the property certificate. Instead, it is engraved with knives and fists to force vendors to pay rent, commonly known as protection fees.
What does protection money mean? It means that if you receive money, I will protect you from my harm.
798 Street is the territory occupied by the Green Wolf Gang.
Feng Mu rode in on his bike, neither fast nor slow, his eyes casually scanning the street.
There is no particular layout for the restaurants, convenience stores, hair salons, video halls, bars, and dance halls, and they are all located wherever one wishes.
The headquarters of the Green Wolf Gang is a bar, occupying the best location. Colorful light boxes are hung on the walls. The aesthetics and name are very cliché, but it is eye-catching. It is called Blood Rose.
Feng Mu didn't dare to get close. He just looked at it from a distance and rode away on his bike.
He had a good sense of direction and did not take the same route, but instead went through the shantytown and left through another exit.
Because there is no planning, the shantytown is like a maze; and because there is no planning, one can find a way out from anywhere in the shantytown.
Go home, eat, and do some exercise.
2 o'clock in the morning.
It ended two hours earlier than usual, and the settlement image on my retina froze.
[Iron Eater: First Order][Edible Iron Type: 1][Absorbable Metal Properties: 1][Currently detected edible iron type - ordinary pig iron, edible degree 38.2%.][Absorbed properties:? ? ] "Increased by 4.1%, not enough to completely cover the left arm, oh, not the left arm, but..."
Feng Mu let out a light exclamation. His left arm did not feel the fresh coolness because the coolness went along his tailbone and quietly moved to the base of his right leg.
Feng Mu reached out and touched the base of Qin's legs. A slight chill penetrated his skin, and Qin's little brother shuddered.
Feng Mu took two steps in the bedroom and could clearly feel that his right leg was more firmly on the ground, while his left leg was light and floating. His center of gravity unconsciously shifted to the right, as if he was limping.
Feng Mu took a while to adjust himself before he could barely regain his balance.
After changing into black clothes and black pants, putting on a mask and a baseball cap, and hiding a folding dagger in his trouser pocket, Feng Mu slowly pushed open the bedroom door, closed it with his back hand, and tiptoed out of the house.
The corridor was pitch black. Feng Mu went down the stairs, one step deep and one step shallow, with a strange posture.
It was late at night and there were naturally few working street lights in the old and dilapidated neighborhood. The upper part of the city was also pitch black. Feng Mu, dressed in black, limped and blended into the darkness.
Without a bike, the sound of the wind from the wheels is too loud and not as concealed as the footsteps in the dark.
There were not many people on the road. Occasionally, a few figures were seen in the distance, but Feng Mu avoided them in advance.
At 03:14, Feng Mu stood behind the trash can at the intersection of 798 Street.
Half of the street was dark, but there were lights at regular intervals. They were light boxes breathing in the night, flashing red, blue and green, exuding the temptation of desire.
Feng Mu hid in a dark corner, looking coldly at the woman posing under the light.
The woman was dragging a fat man into the hair salon with great effort. The man's head was buried in the woman's chest. The woman's eyes were fixed on the man's wallet, and greed was intertwined in their eyes.
The hair salon seemed to come alive at night, turning into a heavily made-up demon, swallowing the meaty man and woman into its stomach.

The curtains on the window were drawn, and two men with fat faces walked out of the door, squatted at the door smoking, and laughed lewdly from time to time.
They were looking at the curtain and Feng Mu was staring at them.
04:41.
The light box was turned off, there were cigarette butts all over the floor, and between the two shadows arm in arm, a third shadow was looming.
…….My name is Ma Wei, I’m 24 years old.
I don’t have much memory of my childhood, but I remember that when I was 7 years old, that bitch left me and my dad and ran away with someone else.
My father is a street sweeper. He has no skills but a bad temper. He beats me when he drinks, and hugs me and cries when he sobers up.
I don't blame him because he gives me food to eat. I only hate that bitch. I think when I grow up, I will find that bitch, cut off her head and bring it home.
When I was 10 years old, my father died.
According to the police station, he was stabbed to death when he got into an argument with two thugs who were throwing wine bottles while sweeping the streets in the early morning.
I am not sad, I just feel that his death was pathetic, and besides, no one will give me food to eat in the future.
Empty peasants cannot buy graves, and I had no money, so I didn't take his body back. I think his body was burned with the garbage.
At the age of 11, I didn’t have to go to school anymore, so I went to pick up trash.
It is difficult for one person to pick up garbage that can be exchanged for money. Those organized scavengers will occupy the garbage dump, and the wild dogs digging for corpses will bare their teeth at me fiercely.
I'm alone, so it's hard to overtake others.
When I was 12 years old, I met Brother Tong, who was two years older than me. We started picking up trash together.
At the age of 13, two people were stronger than one, so we teamed up to smash the wild dog to death with bricks and ate its meat. It was so delicious.
However, we still couldn't compete with the scavengers, and we didn't have enough to eat most of the time. One time, a child in clean clothes handed me a piece of bread.
Tongge and I shared it, and after eating, we became even hungrier.
The next day, we blocked the kid on the road and snatched his schoolbag. Haha, we ate very full that day.
Later we tried to rob the child several times, but unfortunately, the child disappeared. Brother Tong and I were very angry.
At the age of 14, Brother Tong brought in two more children.
We are not as strong as the scavengers, but we are fierce enough, so we managed to snatch a trash can and occasionally have a full meal.
At the age of 15, Brother Tong said that he didn’t want to pick up trash all his life...PS: Ma Wei is an important NPC. Brothers, you must read the new book during its release period. Friends who like to read the book, remember to come here every day and turn to the last page.
