Chapter 1483 Biscuits are sweet
Did not walk out of this slum, and when he was about to reach the exit, Xu Huo turned back again.
Those people who had been waiting in the background for a long time came out one after another at this time, but they were all outlaws trying their luck.
The young man who "escaped" originally wanted to turn around and run out of the slum after he found out that the people chasing him had been killed, but he stopped after walking too far. Facing the dark street that seemed to have no end, he seemed to have no idea. The courage to run to the exit in one breath, so he turned around and limped behind Xu Huo.
Xu Huo knew that there was a tail behind him, but he didn't drive him away. After killing the first group of people who came to test him one after another, he stopped in front of a small door. The door was closed, and it was written crookedly With the words "accommodation knocking on the door".
Although the environment is simple, this is already one of the few "commercial shops" in this slum.
Xu Huo stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The small window on the door opened, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes. After staring at him for a while, he said in a hoarse and dry voice, "One hundred bills a night, you can use items as collateral."
Xu Huo drew a white note and handed it over.
The person inside the door took the money, quickly opened the small door on the side, stuck out half of his head like a thief, and urged him to hurry up in a low voice, but when he saw the young man not far away, he slammed Close the door, go back to the small window and throw the money out, "I don't accept people from the underground palace here, hurry up and leave!"
In this messy place, even a young man covered in stains looks clean. Such a "clean" person has no ability to protect himself. It is conceivable that he should be raised by someone to stand in this kind of place. Most of those who have a firm foothold are not kind people, and it is normal for people to be afraid.
Xu Huo turned around and left.
Although the young man who followed behind was scared, he still managed to keep up. When he passed by the door of the small shop, he took the opportunity to grab the white note that Xu Huo didn't pick up when it fell on the ground.
The owner of the small shop kept staring outside, watching the boy take the money, the joy that had just risen in his eyes disappeared instantly, and closed the small window cursingly.
It was not easy to find a place to live, so Xu Huo searched for three more places one after another. After seeing the young man, others refused in fear, but they didn't dare to offend him, so someone carefully reminded him that he could go further inside. , there is a "zone of disorder", where the most vicious and troublesome people in the slums live, and the "underground palace" generally does not go in to find trouble.
In return, Xu Huo gave the other party a small packet of biscuits.
Probably because he hasn’t met a normal person for too long, the elderly woman didn’t even dare to reach out to pick her up, Xu Huo didn’t say much, put it down and left.
Just a few meters away from him, there was a noise in the house. The woman who hadn’t dared to take the biscuits just now was fierce like a hungry wolf, and stuffed all the biscuits in the packaging bag under the scramble of two equally thin men. She put it into her mouth and chewed it desperately, and the two fighting men didn't give up even to this point, they went to pick her mouth, but in the end the woman smashed one of the men to death.
The remaining man escaped. At this moment, the woman took out the biscuit from her mouth, peeled off the bitten wrapping paper, and fed the drool-stained biscuit crumbs to the child hidden in the rotten wooden box under the bed.
"Mom, what is this, it smells so good."
"Cookies are sweet."
"What is sweet?"
“Sweet is what you taste, the best taste…”
The tick-tock acid rain kept falling, and Xu Huo dealt with a few snoopers on the way, and finally found a place willing to let him stay in a neighborhood where the street lights were almost all broken. The boss didn't mind him bringing the boy with him, so he said directly : "One hundred and fifty for you, and two hundred for him. Food and drink are not included, and there is no washing. If you want to wash your face, you have to spend money to buy water."
Xu Huo paid two hundred bills, "I want a spacious room."
The boss is an old man who is blind in his right eye. He took the money and carried a small lamp to lead Xu Huo up the stairs. He stepped on the creaking stairs. He reminded him not very enthusiastically, "It will be dark soon. There is no one here, so don’t come out to find someone. But if you break something, you have to pay for it.”
It can be said that this hotel has almost nothing but walls, and there is only a small bench in the reception area downstairs. The dilapidated stairs lead to the dilapidated second floor, and the floors in the corridors are patchwork. Some places have been worn and not repaired, and you can directly see the first floor.
There are only two rooms on the second floor, and the door panels are full of traces of swords. From the outside, you can see the empty room and the bed made of a rotten board in the room.
The boss poked the rusty key twice in the rusty lock but failed to open it. He simply tore off the lock forcefully, pushed open the door and said, "There are no other guests, so choose two rooms at will."
Xu Huo had no other needs, so the boss left with the lamp.
There is only one emergency light in the room, which can be used when it is turned on, but the light is dim, and it can be seen that it will not last long, but he still turned it on.
The boy didn't follow in, and squatted down by the door after he closed the door. Xu Huo ignored him, but simply observed the surrounding situation from the second floor.
Outside is a street that can only accommodate two people side by side. The opposite side of the street is the same as this side, with houses stacked on top of each other, interspersed with some dangerous trails, which can barely go up and down. On the whole, it looks like a mountain that is constantly climbing. The location of the hotel is considered to be the lowest level, which is the area at the foot of the mountain.
Judging from the previous exit, this slum should be hidden in a not-so-small mountain, and all the buildings are built against the mountain, which saves some costs and can also block the acid rain.
However, judging from some subtle movements nearby, there is not much difference between living above and below, because of the special external environment, even if it is not dark, almost no one walks outside.
It’s not spacious from top to bottom. This room must not be able to support the weight of the shelter. Xu Huo sat down on the bed, sealed the space with the spiritual world, took out the P3S injection, and injected it into his arm.
Probably because of the previous activation effect in Bai Kou's laboratory, he didn't have any adverse reactions after taking the potion. After just a few seconds, he felt full of energy-it was a kind of normal energy, not like a special shot. drug hyperactivity.
At the same time, he also felt a qualitative leap in the control of his body, as if the body had become a translucent state in his eyes, and he could clearly observe the state of every part of the body.
