Too much talk will lead to mistakes.
He just focused on eating, nodding occasionally or giving a brief response.
"Since you have a big appetite, I'll give you my portion." After chatting happily, the old man pushed his lunch box to Bi Tao.
Qi Bitao's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir."
The old man waved his hands and sighed, "Alas, I don't know when this will end. Let's just say, if we just maintain the previous status quo, it's fine. When the government is fully free, we can slowly rebuild our homes..."
"But now, some powerful individuals have emerged who have awakened for the second time. These people, having gained power beyond their surroundings, have become arrogant and are beginning to want to do evil. In my opinion, in the final analysis... it's still human nature that's evil."
Qi Bitao wiped his mouth and said, "I think human nature is kind."
The old man smiled and didn't argue. He touched his pocket which was empty of cigarettes and put his hand back on the table in dismay: "Oh, when will these days when I can't even have a cigarette end?"
Bi Tao didn't rush to speak. After finishing the food on his plate, he quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said, "Here's to you, sir."
It was the old man's turn to have his eyes light up: "Wow—you really gave it to me?"
Bi Tao chuckled and said, "I don't smoke, so there's no point in keeping them... Oh, I still have some cigarettes, and I'd like to trade them for some food. Can you introduce me to someone?"
Time passes.
The blood moon above is cold and clear.
Although there is no concept of sunrise and sunset in the morning, many people still maintain their previous schedules. This is a time to rest.
Adjutant Meng, who had just collected intelligence from the people, was heading towards the team's camp with a folder in his hand.
Because he was looking down at the documents and not paying attention to the road ahead, he bumped into Bi Tao who had just exchanged supplies at a corner.
"Oh, I didn't mean to."
Seeing that the other party was staggered and almost fell by his bump, Adjutant Meng hurriedly expressed his apologies.
"No, no."
Bi Tao carried the cloth bag filled with supplies onto his shoulder and waved his hands repeatedly.
The two passed each other.
Adjutant Meng looked again at the document in his hand.
After walking forward for a while, he suddenly looked up and carefully recalled the appearance of the slightly fat man he had just bumped into.
Not long after, his expression changed and he hurried back to look in the direction where Bi Tao had left.
No one was seen.
As long as he knew the end of the road in that direction, including the contaminated area...
"Grass!"
After cursing, Adjutant Meng ran away.
He first ran back to where the team was stationed, shouting, "Everyone move, disperse quickly, there might be a bomb!!"
They were all second-level awakeners. When he roared, everyone was like an arrow shot from a bow. In a flash, they all hid far away.
At this moment, a foot kicked from behind Adjutant Meng's buttocks: "What are you yelling about!"
Adjutant Meng was kicked from behind and fell flat on his face.
He got up and glanced at Xu Pingfeng, then said in panic, "I just saw Qi Bitao. He just left us!"
Xu Pingfeng's reaction was unnaturally calm.
He grinned, like a hunter seeing his prey, his expression full of excitement: "Then chase it, what's the point of yelling?"
Adjutant Meng opened his mouth and slowly closed it.
He also realized that he was a little too nervous.
I always thought that Qi Bitao was a genius at explosives and would plant a bomb nearby, but this was purely his personal speculation, and there was no evidence, so it made people jump all the time...
Xu Pingfeng turned his gaze around, looking at the soldiers, and laughed like a psychopath: "Did you hear that? The most wanted criminal is nearby. We have to catch him, hahahaha... Hurry and chase him! What are you all still standing there for?"
