Chapter 269

"Okay, I won't move. Huo, you don't move either."

The man said quickly.

The daughter didn't move at all, she just stared blankly at her father.

The assailant emerged from the darkness, it was Chu Zihang.

He looked at the father and daughter, red bumps were distributed irregularly on their bare skin, and yellow juice oozed from the damaged place.

"What's the matter with you?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"It's not an infectious disease."

The man reflexively wanted to yell, but under the threat of the gun, he lowered the volume in time.

"This is a hereditary disease in our family. It will occur from time to time, but it will not be transmitted to others at all."

he said dejectedly.

"Then why did the guards drive you out?"

Chu Zihang asked again.

"Because of that bastard Johnny, he was jealous that I stole his business, so he informed the boss and gave away something."

the man said angrily.

Chu Zihang observed his expression, it didn't look like a fake.

"How many days have you been sick?"

"It's been eight days. It's almost healed. It's all that beast."

The man's tone was full of hatred.

Eight days, with his physique, even if it is really an infectious disease, he must live longer than them.

"If you want to live, follow me."

Chu Zihang said.

In a semi-forced situation, the father and daughter followed him to the platform.

"your name."

Chu Zihang said.

"hammer."

the man replied.

"I'm asking for my real name."

He put a little more effort into his hand.

The people of the lower hives, like the gangsters of Earth, like to give themselves some powerful nicknames.

"That's my name. My father was also a blacksmith, and that's what I named my daughter."

The man said a little aggrieved.

"Okay, Hammer. Do you know me?"

Chu Zihang asked.

Hammer raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"do not know."

Hammer shook his head.

"Do you know everyone in the settlement?"

he asked again.

"I grew up in Heishuiwo since I was a child. Even if I can't name the people here, I must have seen them. But I am very strange to you."

Hammer said honestly.

Chu Zihang nodded, it seems that Lu Mingfei did not escape from this settlement.

"Hammer, you have two choices now. One is to take your daughter and leave, and the other is to prove to me that you are useful."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of nutrition packs from his pocket and shook them.

Hammer and Huo's eyes dangled with the nutrition package, and the corners of their mouths drooled.

They had been ill for eight days and hadn't worked. Their savings had long been exhausted, and they had been hungry for two days.

"Boss, I'm a blacksmith, and I can make weapons for you."

Hammer swallowed and said.

"Somewhat useful, but not enough."

Chu Zihang shook his head.

A blacksmith is a nice asset, but it doesn't mean much to him as a dream traveler.

"I can be your subordinate and help you kill."

Hammer gritted his teeth and said.

Although he has never killed anyone, the instinct to kill has long been engraved into the genes of the bottom hive people.

"It's still not enough."

Chu Zihang continued to shake his head.

Although the foundation looks good, he is just an ordinary person, he can kill a dozen in a minute.

"Boss, what do you want?"

Hammer had to ask.

"Laser guns, carapace, technological creations"

Chu Zihang gave examples one by one.

"Boss, if I have these things, I won't be kicked out."

Hammer said helplessly.

If he had these, he would have used them to bribe the boss, and he could kill Johnny by the way.

"Then you're useless."

Chu Zihang put away the nutrition package and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait a minute, boss."

Hammer quickly stopped him.

"Huo and I will recover from our illness in two or three days, and we can still return to Blackwater Den by then."

Hammer said.

"so what?"

Chu Zihang said coldly.

Probably because it was substituted into Lu Mingfei's memory, his personality and way of speaking were also affected to a certain extent.

"You escaped from another settlement, right? As long as you have my guarantee and pay a fee, you can enter the black water nest and no one will care who you were before."

Hammer said.

After all, it is a technical job, and its intelligence is higher than the average level of the bottom nest.

What he said really moved Chu Zihang's heart. The difficulty of living in the settlement is much lower than that outside, and it is more convenient to get supplies.

"How much will it cost?"

he asked.

"Something equivalent to 5 nutritional packs is enough."

Hammer thought for a while and said.

5 packs of nutrition packs, he only has 4 packs in total, and he has to eat these two days, it seems that he has to hunt or pick up trash.

"Do you know where there is hunting?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"do not know."

Hammer looked blank.

He had never been out of the colony and had no idea what it was like outside.

All in all, Hammer is actually the middle class of Bottom Nest.

If no other gangs came to fight, and he and his daughter didn't get sick, they would probably survive until the toxins accumulated in their bodies erupted.

"Where does that fork lead to?"

Chu Zihang asked again.

"I know this. I've heard others say that it leads to an abandoned water purification plant."

Hammer said quickly.

Abandoned water purification plant?

Lu Mingfei mentioned that he once found several intact water purification chips in an abandoned water purification plant and made a fortune.

It was also with this start-up capital that he was able to recruit troops and form his own gang.

Chu Zihang handed the nutrition package to Huo, watched her tear open the package and took a big breath impatiently, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Dad, drink."

Huo stopped drinking after taking a sip, and handed the hammer to him.

"Huo, drink half of it and give it to Dad."

Hammer touched his daughter's head.

"Boss, are you going hunting?"

He asked Chu Zihang.

"That's right. You stay here and hide in the boxes. If I come back, I'll call your names."

Chu Zihang pointed to the boxes scattered on the ground.

He didn't let them hide in the safe house, which was his last protection.

"Okay, boss, we'll wait for your return."

Hammer nodded and said.

On the way here, he had already seen the bodies of the two of them. As a blacksmith, he could of course see that those injuries were caused by Chu Zihang's shotgun.

Whoever is ruthless and big enough is the boss. This is the social consensus of the bottom nest people.

Chu Zihang turned and left, hesitating for a moment when passing by the corpse, and still took the remaining bullets in the bolt-action rifle.

Trust was too much of a luxury in Bottom Nest, and he didn't want to give himself a reason to shoot them.

Walking to the fork in the road again, Chu Zihang drank a pack of nutrition packs by himself, and drank half a bag of water.

There may be another battle ahead, so we must maintain a good state.

He took a deep breath of the stale air and walked towards the passage on the left.

The further you go, the wider the road ahead will be.

After walking for about an hour, Chu Zihang came to a huge open space.

A magnificent factory building rises from the ground, and several giant pipes are connected to the biochemical pool of the water purification plant from the upper floor.

The biochemical pool was filled with waste water of an indescribably complex color, and overflowed from time to time, corroding the surrounding structures with mottled marks.

Even though the water purification plant has ceased to operate, the upper floors continue to discharge waste water here.

I don't know how many years the waste water overflowed, and a swamp was formed along the perimeter of the factory building.

The strong luster made Chu Zihang feel that the heavy metals would exceed the standard at a glance.

However, this also means that there must be animals around for a living.

Chu Zihang picked up his gun and walked cautiously towards the waste water swamp.
