Chapter 31: First encounter

The two didn't spend too long on buying weapons-anyway, just to behave, no need to choose carefully. Dajian Zhou has a peculiar style, and I wish Marshal's weapon is really advanced. It's not easy to use it directly. You have to find something to make do with it.
Seeing that they were acting neatly, Uncle Xiong (gan gan) waited outside the store. After shopping, the three went straight to the residence of Yujin.
Zhu Yanchen was so active and knew the slang of the settlement, Shu Jun subconsciously determined that Yu Jin and Zhu Yanchen had some origin. But when they met the real person, he was not so sure.
Judging from the appearance, Yu Jin and Zhu Yanchen are completely people of two worlds.
Yujin is a little shorter than Shu Jun, and has an unusually strong body, with Shu Jun a full half width. The protective clothing made of mutant animal skins was painted full of yan (yan) patterns, which was bulging. Just looking at the body shape, there are not many signs of deformity.
The man had his head straight, his hair was dyed dazzling golden, and the skin on his left eye was flat and even without eyeballs. It can be seen that Yu Jin quite minded this defect. His left half of his face was covered with patterns, and he had fake eyes tattooed on himself. It is a pity that the level of tattoos in the colony is not very good. The real eyes and false eyes were close, but there was a kind of stiff horror, as if the left half of the face was paper.
There are four purifiers in the room, and Yujin does not wear a mask. When the three of them entered the door, he was tearing the stewed chicken legs with his teeth.
"Old Xiong." He raised his shiny hand and said hello to Uncle Xiong. "These two are?"
"My brother's guests have run past corpse beasts. They are a little interested in this npc work. Wasn't your last partner quite a waste? I can introduce them to you." Uncle Xiong went straight to the subject.
Dare to love is to sell favor on both sides, but Uncle Xiong did not support the two of them to talk, it is considered to be sold openly. Shu Jun withdrew his gaze from Yu Jin and turned to Zhu Yanchen. Marshal Zhu returned to his usual sculptural appearance, not seeing the emotions of his old acquaintances at all.
"Last time the person was able to run past the corpse beast, but when he went out on a mission, the could do nothing but escape. When he saw the dangerous mutant beast, he ran faster than the stealer." Yu Jin snorted. Tough, his eyes swept around the two of them. "These two are going bad, they look like they have been trained."
Uncle Xiong is well versed in marketing, and he strikes while the iron is hot: "No, didn't Old Xu Jin'er get a lot of good leather? My brother turned it, these two brothers hunted."
Yu Jin throws away his clean chicken bones, with a smile but a smile: "I don't like bringing new people, but since it is Pan's person, the face must be given. The ugly thing is the first thing. Those skins are better not to be. You robbed it-the mission is about to break, I will kill you both first."
Then he turned to Uncle Xiong again, and did not shy away from the two of them: "To be really reliable, I will give you an introduction fee when it's over."
"Hey, what you said." Uncle Xiong grinned straight when it was done.
If they are really newcomers, they can be regarded as finding a thigh. In fact, they are not, which is more appropriate-the two originally planned to pass the test and hide their eyes. There are veterans in the team to attract attention, and it's a lot easier to pretend.
Shu Jun looked at Yujin more specifically, the vague sense of familiarity (qiang) a little bit. But this person looks swaggering, if he had ever seen such an NPC, he would not be unimpressed.
It's weird.
Until the test officially started, Shu Jun didn't figure out where the familiarity came from.
The test site is a wasteland next to the settlement, and there are still remains of a small town hundreds of years ago. The towering billboard is buried deep underground, only (exposed) the top edge. The wires on the poles were scattered and clinging to the mud, like hair stuck to the bathroom floor tiles. (Exposure) The parts of the building that came out of the mud were scattered all over the place, leaving only the rotten walls toppling over.
Most of the visitors formed a group of three, and a few dumbfounded duo teamed up, and there were only one or two looking around alone.
There were not many people coming from the army. They set up a small tent against the wall. The content of the test is not complicated. The military released a high-level mutant beast, and each sent a camera. The more and more detailed images are captured, the less injuries and the higher the evaluation.
"Don't think about the attack, the test subject this time is quite brutal." The invigilator looked serious, "We have placed a military purifier nearby and escaped back to the base if necessary. As for whether you can't escape...you should have signed the disclaimer. There are other mutant beasts nearby. The test body has a fluorescent collar on its neck, which is easy to distinguish. The test time is five hours, and the weapon is prepared by itself-the test begins!"
People scattered and scattered. Yujin didn't rush to run. He squatted and started to look at the footprints on the mud.
"I'll follow it. You two are responsible for driving away the beasts that get in the way. Can you do it?"
Shu Jun responded and drew out the big sword that made up the number. Zhu Yanchen looked at the direction of the army tent for a while, and took out his gun a few seconds later. Shu Jun fiddled with the sword, how did it feel that it didn't feel right. He turned the temporary big sword over, and there was a large area of ​​severe erosion behind it. The erosion looked new and the shape was a bit familiar.
Shu Jun poked the cloth-wrapped Monday. It has always been with this great sword and is carried behind him.
Feeling the knock on Monday, it lowered its voice and made a special breath: "...Bah...!"
Shu Jun: "..." This thing is obviously intentional.
Forget it, it's not impossible to make do with it. Shu Jun's face is not changed (color), and the erosion face is turned towards himself. The turmeric is so old that he rubbed the mud and smelled it, but he didn't encounter many dangerous mutant beasts.
Shu Jun thought that this small test could be passed by casually, but he didn't think that they had just gone deep into the town, and things went wrong.
"Give it back to me!" There was a female (sexual xing) scream not far away, "That was taken by me!"
A woman was holding a corroded billboard, covered in blood. There were two men standing in front of her, one holding a camera in his hand, and the three were dressed similarly, obviously in a team.
"You're all hurt like this, so dragging your legs." The man holding the device said, "Isn't it impossible?"
"Fart, you didn't support me at all just now! If it goes according to plan, I won't...cough." The woman coughed up blood and gritted her teeth. "We made it clear before we shot--"
"Understand, if we get injured, the overall score will only get lower." Another man sang red face, "Look, we at least didn't throw you to the mutant beast. Let's get it all. Is it okay to divide your 3% compensation?"
"Don't mess with her, hurry up and find a okay group. Only then I got one, and I have to get pictures."
"Give it back to me!" Seeing no hope, the woman (gan gan) grabbed one of the men's ankles and dragged him to the spot.
Fuck cao). Your mother is not over yet?" The man was about to kick.
Shu Jun grabbed the hilt of the sword and Zhu Yanchen pulled out the gun. However, they were just about to do it, and some people moved faster than them-Yujin was the closest to the woman, and he (gan gan) grabbed a big stone crisply and hit the man (xiong) accurately. The man staggered two steps after being smashed and sat down in the mud.
"I'm still thinking about why there has been a lot of waste in NPC missions recently. That's how it turned out." Yujin grabbed the camera from the man's hand and threw it to the woman who was still in a daze. "This kind of task dare to play with the score and die, the pig will have to laugh at it."
Then he gave a cold snort and kicked the man again. Seeing turmeric approaching, sing. The red-faced man has long gone without a trace.
"Sorry, I can't get used to this kind of stuff." Seeing Shu Jun and Zhu Yanchen both about to shoot, Yu Jin's attitude improved a lot. "Let's go on, go on... Gray Claw, what's wrong with you?"
When Shu Jun stood there, the vague impression gradually gathered. With a slight headache, some pictures emerged from the depths of my mind.
[You are turmeric? This name is so interesting, does it refer to tulips? 】
Before his eleventh birthday, he had his first field mission. The mission location is near the stronghold and the content is quite simple.
The task required them to find the boy who was lost on the edge of the erosion zone. They quickly found their target—the little boy was chubby, covered in black mud, and had only one right eye. Seeing them coming to rescue, he covered his left face with his chubby hand, looking resisting.
So there is the above conversation.
Children are innocent at all. Shu Jun brought the topic to the target name, and the group members began to chat about this interesting name, and no one cared about the non-existent left eye. The little fat man looked at himself for a while, got up obediently, and limped along with them.
This is just the most basic training task, and the whole process is even less than two hours.
However, there was a problem with the mission return journey.
There is a smart girl in the group, she is a little younger than the other group members, just nine years old. It may be that her tolerance to erosion is low, and her entire face (color) turned blue, eager to return to the base. At this moment, they were quite close to the stronghold, and there would be no mutant beasts nearby, Shu Jun thought for a moment, and promised her to take a step first.
Then she was attacked.
The attackers were not mutant beasts, but three children about the same age as them, two men and one woman. They hid behind the stone, wounded her with pocket guns, and then gathered together-they fired several shots, and the shots were not critical. She struggled on the ground as if torturing a kitten.
The little girl wore protective clothing, and the bullet would not penetrate her body. However, the impact was still terrifying, and she was struggling in severe pain and could not get up.
Shu Jun in the distance didn't know it yet, and he couldn't arrive at the first time. But what the children said, she retelled them clearly afterwards.
[Look, this guy is numbered k-786. The number has reached k! Ability is definitely not good. 】
[Is it really going to happen? 】
[Anyway, I'm young, so I can't waste much resources. They...Oh, yes, this can't be said. It's fine anyway, and my family can afford it. 】
[Wow, this is the first time I see you. 】
[Look, it’s okay to look up close. The girls dared to come over, but Zhu's squandered family objected. Speaking of which, why did he go (gan gan)? My mother wants me to take care of him, and I have to be scolded if something happens to him]
[Didn’t you his protective mask? He can only stay in the stronghold, nothing will happen. 】
[Winang waste is waste, and it scares me like that when we talk about hunting, no wonder the leader doesn't like him. Let me tell you, he must be the kind of intimidation that even ants dare not step on. Ah, do you want to try hitting the neck? I have heard people say that this might kill it. ] The boy handed the gun to another boy.
【Hey? But, but it looks really like...]
["Like" does not mean "Yes". Have you said you can afford it, try it? Then you can tell people about it, how cool. 】
[Who pushed me? ! 】
When Shu Jun heard the gunshots coming, he saw this scene from a distance--
The three children stood not far from the struggling little girl, and the fourth child swayed up, knocking the three people away, and struggling to support the little girl. He was wearing an all-inclusive hood that was obviously out of size, and the sealing buckles were not fastened properly, apparently rushing in.
The child does not have a serial number, so he should be a member of the npc. He awkwardly comforted their teammates, put her arms on his shoulders, and walked slowly in the direction of Shu Jun.
Shu Jun was too far away to hear the child, but he could hear the boy with the gun roaring.
[Did you tell my parents? ! The traitor who made a small report! Villain! Useless! What a man! 】
The boy with the gun threw the gun to the ground, picked up the stone on the ground, and began to hit the boy with the hood on the back. The hooded boy also wore protective clothing, and these stones could not hurt him. But while he was supporting the girl, he had to wear a heavy hood, his center of gravity was originally unstable. After eating a few stones on his back, the boy in the hood did not stop and fell to the ground firmly.
[This is your own fall! 】The boy with the gun yelled, clenched the rock tightly, and saw that it was about to hit again.
Seeing that there was still a distance, Shu Jun shot directly.
At that time, they were too young to have custom-made weapons, only small hand guns for self-defense uniformly rationed. Its bullets are not powerful, but they are sufficient-the bullet hits the rocks accurately and knocks it into the air beautifully. Blood came out of the mouth of the gun boy. He screamed and ran away. The other two children huddled together and ran away together.
The hooded boy fell into the mud in embarrassment, and did not get up for a long time.
Shu Jun walked closer and looked at the injuries of the two. His crew was injured in the ribs by the bullet, and was a little frightened, but nothing else. The boy in the hood sprained his foot and couldn't stand up.
[Go find a stretcher, she'd better lie down. I will memorize this. ] Shu Jun refers to the boy lying on the ground.
The hood boy gripped the hood tightly and tried to stand up. But he worked hard a few times, only to whine a few times in pain. After all he failed to stand up, he had to honestly let Shu Jun back.
[Go back and write this in the report. It stands to reason that we can only be exposed to random events after we are 13 years old. There is a problem with the task arrangement this time. ] Shu Jun carried the boy back and gave orders calmly. [You go first, send Xiao Yu back first, she is not comfortable with the outside world. 】
Yujin blinked his only right eye vigorously and walked to the girl’s stretcher, speaking up and down: [We, alas, I... I should actually say thank you... alas...]
He sighed for a long time, but finally got stuck and watched the stretcher be carried away.
[Does it still hurt? ] Feeling the arms on the neck tighten, Shu Jun turned his face to his side. [If it hurts, just say it. 】
[...] The boy in the hood suppressed his rapid breathing and said nothing.
It seems that he is not talking, Shu Jun adjusted his posture to make the people behind him more comfortable: [This is the first time I have encountered this kind of emergency. 】
[... But you are doing well. 】The boy finally picked up the voice, sounded rather low. [I didn't even take her out a few steps. 】
[What are you talking about? ] Shu Jun stopped, [If you didn't hold back the time, she would definitely get hurt more seriously. 】
【……】
[It's not that I am boasting, I have seen a lot of n...people in this world, you are the coolest I have ever seen! ] Shu Jun is very serious, [Much more handsome than the crazy group, a little confident, okay? 】
[...] The boy remained silent.
They were not far from the stronghold, and soon reached their destination. Many adult NPCs stayed at the door, probably waiting to deal with this emergency. When fast entering the door, the boy tugged Shu Jun's clothes and motioned Shu Jun to put down himself.
[Someone picks you up? ] Shu Jun glanced at the beautiful woman who hurried over, [Just someone picks it up. Be careful, I will put you down. 】
The boy touched his feet and gasped hiss. He shook his body, rubbed his head on Shu Jun's body, and fell to the ground without a hood.
The boy is about the same size as the original Shu Jun, with good features and a slightly longer hair. He looked at Shu Jun, acting a little nervously and cautiously, as if he wasn't used to looking directly at others' eyes.
[I...] He glanced at the hood that fell to the ground, his tone a little struggling. [Can I (touch Mo) (touch Mo) your gun? 】
【what? Nothing, you (touch Mo). ] Shu Jun generously took out his gun. The boy (touching Mo) through the gloves (touching Mo) the gun, his expression is a bit complicated.
【Thank you. After retracting his hand, he said softly.
Shu Jun blinked. He wanted to say a few more words, but the child was taken away in the next moment.
This is only a trivial matter of a long time compared to the goodbyes to his teammates. It was pressed in the deepest part of his mind, as if it had never existed. However, for Shu Jun now, that was not a mere memory.
He recognized that face.
On the day he defeated Tian Feng, in that strange dream, he had seen the child.
