Desperado
Noon is the busiest time in Hungry Hungry's territory.
A slight earthquake was heard from the westernmost part of the territory. The group heading to the hotel looked out into the distance but could not see the end.
"What happened?" Several people were a little nervous.
Earlier, they were taking a break from cutting trees in the forest when they saw Ye Miaomiao leading a group of security guards walking westward, all of them with solemn expressions.
"Could it be..." A slightly timid one was so frightened by the various speculations that popped up in his mind that his face turned pale.
"Don't talk nonsense. The earthquake means either new buildings are being built or new territory is being added." One of them, Ai Qi, said, "West, is there new territory?"
A message notification sound came from their ears, and several people hurriedly turned on the screen, and sure enough, they saw the pinned message in the group.
[A training ground has been added to the westernmost area. There is a wall around it, so please do not cross it.]
The small campsite, once the size of a campfire and a cabin, had expanded to encompass eight territories. Many people hadn't even visited the newly constructed Sunset Beach, and couldn't imagine the territory's continued expansion.
But anyway, it's a good thing.
Suddenly the group of people relaxed, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the hotel. On the way there, they had to pass by the residents' market.
Noon is the busiest time for hungry people, and this is not an exaggeration.
Ye Miaomiao attaches great importance to eating three meals a day, and the entire Hungry Hungry Territory also regards eating as a serious matter. Lunch is the most important meal, so it would be strange if it wasn't lively.
The residents' market is the most lively place.
After all, how can you not take a walk after a full meal? How can you not buy some food and daily necessities before eating?
Two ragged men walked in from the gate of the territory and heard lively shouting.
Along with the smell of fireworks, all kinds of fragrance wafted over.
"Freshly caught scallops, selling scallops! Big ones are four for one point, small ones are eight for one point! We also have small mussels and crabs!"
"Hot meals! These are all extras from the restaurant, so they're affordable and generous! We're also recycling any extra gifts that haven't been opened!"
There was one person who was the most lively: "Grapefruit! Fresh big grapefruit! Limited to a few, only here! Come and have a look!"
Pomelo is a rare and good commodity!
Winter is here, and fruit is in short supply, especially during a catastrophic winter. The ones from the greenhouses are quickly sold out, and the ones in the cellars of the territory aren't fresh either. These are the only seasonal fruits you can occasionally find in the forest.
When Mr. Sun, who was selling scallops, heard the word "pomelo", he couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
Wow, those grapefruits are really big! They have short, pointy necks and beautiful colors. They must be good grapefruits. No wonder there are so many people around them.
You don't need to hear the price to know it's not cheap.
This guy made a lot of money!
He looked worriedly at the empty stall in front of him, which still contained a basket of various scallops, clams, razor clams, and mussels.
He went to the task board to exchange for points as many as he could, but after all, sea fishing is not like cutting trees or mining. It is an extremely unstable job.
There are all kinds of shellfish and seafood. The extra ones cannot be exchanged for points, and the ones that are too small cannot be exchanged for points either.
He is an old seafarer. After working for a whole morning, he may not earn as much as others by selling two grapefruits!
In fact, there is a way. Before the end of the world, they opened a small shop specializing in these small seafood.
Small seafood is not meat? They are sold cheaply and don’t need to taste very good. The freshness of the seafood itself can attract many people.
What a pity...Grandpa Sun sighed and shook his head.
The lord had said that fires were forbidden in the territory, so he could only try his luck selling some raw food and let the customers cook it themselves at the restaurant.
But... there was no one in front of him, so it was obvious that Mr. Sun's idea was difficult to come true.
"Can we fight over two grapefruits?" I heard two people talking in my ears.
Grandpa Sun looked up and saw two ragged men standing beside him. They were looking at the pomelo stall surrounded by people, pointing and talking, with disgust on their faces.
Not only were their clothes dirty, their faces also seemed unclean. As they pouted, the two dark brown streaks on their cheeks, a color unknown to them, stood out.
"Are you sure this is it? How poor can this territory be that they can't even snatch two grapefruits?"
Uncle Sun: “This…” You two don’t look that rich.
Besides...can snatching grapefruits be considered stealing?
If he wasn't guarding the stall and hadn't made much money today, he would have wanted to go over and buy one. Who doesn't like to eat good things?
Just as I was muttering to myself, I heard two people talking again.
"What a bunch of losers! They even want to steal grapefruits. If anyone dares to snatch it from me, I will not only do what I will to him on the spot, but I will also sneak into his house and send him to see the King of Hell with one sword."
"These bastards are killed with one sword, just like cutting watermelon, I don't know how satisfying it is."
Grandpa Sun froze.
He didn't pay much attention to the messages in the group, but he also heard the gossip that there was a queue at the garment factory last night, and two murderers came to the back of the line.
Although the surroundings were bustling with activity, Grandpa Sun felt a chill in his heart.
Cutting people is like cutting watermelons. Listen to this adjective, could it be that they are in the same group?
He pretended to look around casually, and no one noticed the two people talking.
It was because everyone was busy with their own things, and there was no one in front of Grandpa Sun's stall.
Grandpa Sun sat as steady as a mountain and simply pretended that he didn't hear anything.
He has eaten more salt than these two bastards have eaten rice. If he reports them enthusiastically, they will go to jail for cutting watermelons!
"Stop talking nonsense and find those two losers. They must have discovered something. They should have returned at midnight yesterday, but they haven't returned yet."
"So many people? How can we find them? It's so annoying." One of them said with a gloomy look, "Those two losers can forget about eating when they go back. Just throw them into the water dungeon and feed them to the pigs."
"Ask someone?"
Another person's words made Grandpa Sun nervous again.
He simply saw two pairs of dirty sneakers standing in front of him.
"You know..." a voice came from above my head.
Grandpa Sun looked up and felt his heart beating wildly. He thought to himself, damn it, these two bastards dared to get close to him.
"I don't know." He said before the two of them finished speaking.
Anger immediately appeared on one of their faces.
Grandpa Sun's heart was beating faster and faster. His fish-killing knife had seen blood before, so there was no reason for him to be afraid of these two bastards whose arms were not as thick as his legs.
This man had never been provoked like this before. Even if a few people were fighting over grapefruits from a distance and didn't provoke him, he would have wanted to stab them to death with a sword, not to mention this Grandpa Sun who was arguing with him.
He immediately kicked over the seafood stall in front of Grandpa Sun and shouted "Fuck it!" and was about to take action.
"What are you doing!" an angry roar came from the distance.
A group of people who had just returned from cutting trees were talking about the newly added territory in the west. Before they even arrived, they saw a scene of bullying the elderly.
Unexpectedly, this man did not stop, but instead kicked Grandpa Sun.
Ai Qi, who was leading the charge, threw away his backpack and rushed forward with his bare hands.
"You're so nosy!"
The two men shouted angrily, one of them rushed forward with bare hands, and the other one quickly pulled out a sharp knife from Grandpa Sun's stall, causing Grandpa Sun to scream.
"Be careful with my knife!"
The situation was different with a knife; everyone present could be injured. The scene suddenly became chaotic. Seeing this, several brothers behind Ai Qi dropped their backpacks and rushed forward to help. One rushed to the city gate to find the security guards.
Unfortunately, there were only two NPCs left. They had accepted the task of guarding the city gate and had no time to care about the territory.
Yes, they saw with their own eyes that the team members went to the west in the morning, and they probably haven’t returned yet!
"Uncle, please stay away!" Ai Qi saw Uncle Sun trying to grab the knife and shouted, "I'm a police officer, leave it to me!"
"Don't make trouble here!"
Grandpa Sun immediately stopped trying to be tough and became extremely anxious, sending messages to his grandson repeatedly.
"Something's happening here, come quickly!"
His grandson is a member of the security team. When he was young, Grandpa Sun loved reading martial arts novels and dreamed of being a hero. As a result, he killed fish all his life.
His grandson passed the police academy and became a police officer, which made him realize that martial arts stories are all novels. In real life, chivalrous and righteous hand-to-hand combat really requires outnumbered opponents.
Although these two bastards are "young", they are knife-wielding desperadoes. Don't let this guy who claims to be a policeman get hurt.
More and more people in the crowd stood up and started to fight with the two men.
Ai Qi and the others, relying on their numbers, dodged the knives and, as they moved aside, merchandise from the crowd pelted the two men. The pain only intensified their irritation.
"I will kill you, I will kill you all!" One of them went crazy and looked around with a knife in his hand.
Grandpa Sun was worried and looked into the distance. Finally, he saw a group of people coming out from behind a building on the western path.
