Bionic Era

Chapter 171: interest

"Boss, have a bowl of cold noodles."

"It's closed, not for sale."

Lu Wen stood on the dark night street of Baker City and watched the last restaurant on this street close.

If this attitude is in Mau city.

It takes less than three days to close the door.

But here, the restaurants that dare to open at night are relatively strong.

For example, at the one where Lu Wen and Yu Eryi visited, the boss is wearing a revolver with him.

The zoning of Baker City is a little different from that of Mau City.

The city used to use the 16 district distribution method, but then the population was getting smaller and smaller, and there were only tens of millions of people, less than half of Mou City.

The current partition is very rough.

Four regions, southeast, northwest.

Lu Wen has been shopping in the Eastern District these past two days.

The mechanical spider flashing red on his shoulder made those in the dark realize that he was not something to provoke, so nothing happened during this period of time.

"call……"

The icy night wind blew across the cold streets.

Dim lights flickered on both sides of the street, illuminating the rusty world around them.

There was intermittent crying in the dark.

Lu Wen walked to the place where the cry came.

A young man.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, his childishness has not been removed, and the beard on his lips has not been shaved.

"It's dangerous at night, and the street is not a good place to cry." Lu Wen sat down aside, the dark red canopy dotted the city like a devil's lair, and the night was full of dangers.

The young man raised his head and looked at him.

The messy hair looks like it hasn't been washed for days, and it's a mess.

"Aren't you...you are also in this kind of place?"

"Because I am strong enough, those guys in the dark dare not provoke me."

Lu Wen patted the little spider on the shoulder.

"Big man, unless you really encounter a hurdle that you can't go, don't shed tears easily, go home early." He said.

"I don't have a home." The young man's voice was very small, and he was a little choked.

"Someone has an accident at home?"

Lu Wen can be regarded as a person with a month's experience.

The condition of this young man can be seen at a glance.

"I... my dad had a car accident when I was very young..."

The young man kept talking about his family situation.

Maybe Lu Wen looks very reliable, or maybe he really needs to find someone to talk to, so he has nothing to hide.

It's really not easy to live.

His mother was diagnosed with a tumor last year, and the entire year's treatment costs have completely dragged down the otherwise wealthy family, and he dropped out of school to work.

At the age of fifteen, he rushed back and forth in this dangerous city every day.

Because he was under age, those big companies didn't dare to ask him, so he had to sit three part-time jobs at the same time every day, from six in the morning until late at night.

His mother was hospitalized again last week.

I really can't get the money this time...

"I feel so tired to be alive. I don't see hope every day, but I have to live. If I die..."

His mother is still in the hospital, weak.

Lu Wen has been listening to him and didn't say much.

There are many such people in this city.

For these people, life is alive.

More and more people can't live, so they chose to leave, so the population of this city is decreasing year by year, until now it is desolate.

A city gradually dying.

"I still said that, as a man, there is nothing you can't get past the hurdles, so hold on." Lu Wen smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"But...but..."

"Can your mother's tumor still be cured?"

"The doctor said that there is still a chance to be cured after the operation, but I don't have the money. If it drags on..."

As he said, the young man choked up again.

Lu Wen took out a small coin from his pocket.

Even in the dark with faint light, the golden light on the coin can be clearly seen.

That is a smiling face.

"then!"

With a flick of Lu Wen's finger, the coin flipped beautifully in the air several times.

The young people caught up in a hurry.

The cautious look seemed to catch some kind of hope, a very unreal hope.

Lu Wen still has many such coins here.

Yin Long's treasure, those golden humor, he didn't pick up.

Later, the bionics who picked up followed him and gave him all the coins.

This is a kind of trust, believing that he can take the organization to a better place.

"For... for me?"

"I borrow it from you, I will come to you when I have time, and I want to come back."

"Is there interest?"

"No."

The young man carefully fumbled for the golden coin.

It seemed to be a dream, but the reality of the dream made him have to believe it.

"This thing is not an ordinary gold coin. It is a commemorative coin. It was from before the last war. There are not a few left on the market now. Don't be foolish to go to the gold store and sell it at the price of gold. Find a reliable auction..."

Before Lu Wen spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the young man toward him.

At that moment, a bullet grazed the young man's hair.

"boom!"

Gunshots are very common in the dark night of this city.

Just across the street, two tattooed men were pointing guns at them.

"Hey, the money grabbed me." Lu Wen sighed.

He hadn't encountered a robbery for two consecutive days, and he felt a little bored.

It's hard to come across one, still this kind of very infamous stuff, doesn't he look poor now with this appearance?

Lu Wen touched the two scars on his face.

In the past two days, he changed his skin, from the former literary youth to the rough youth, and he wore a style closer to Baker City. The ragged jeans and the short sleeves sprayed at random on the upper body did not seem to be a very wealthy appearance.

"Hand over all the money you have?" Lu Wen asked.

"How do you know that I'm going to say this... No, be quiet, and hand over all the money you have!"

The two men on the opposite side obviously have a division of labor.

One pointed a gun at them.

The other is responsible for intimidation, threats.

"It is said that if you live in a place with serious heavy metal pollution for a long time, you will gradually become demented. This is true. I feel that the IQ of this city is generally lower than that of Mowu." Lu Wen sighed.

"Are you taunting us?"

"You can actually tell that I am mocking you? It seems that there is no serious situation of dementia, maybe... barely saved."

"You...you...you are looking for death..."

The man holding the gun took aim, as if he was about to shoot.

The youth was pale.

Finally, there was hope of curing his mother, and he didn't want to die here.

"Wait!"

Lu Wen stretched out his hand and hurriedly called to a stop.

"Do you have any last words?" one of them asked.

"Did you two see the surveillance over there? It is facing this street, and now our four actions are under surveillance. Don't you worry, will someone from the Executive Bureau come to you tomorrow?"

"Hehe, he is a foreigner, no wonder he was so courageous and dared to go out at night." One of them said coldly, "Baker City's executive bureau will not take care of cases that happen at night. The night in this city is free."

"Oh... Then I'm relieved."

"what did you say?"

As soon as the two men looked back from the monitor in the distance, they saw two small half-moon darts flying towards them.

Very fast speed.

Two faint phantoms crossed the night sky.

With a blast of electric current, the two men fell to the ground.

"Patter!"

The gun fell to the ground.

Lu Wen walked across the street and picked up the gun on the ground.

Throw it to the young man across the street.

The spider jumped off his shoulder, and the sharp front legs pierced into the heads of the two men one by one.

"Remember, you not only owe me money now, but you also owe me a life."

The young man took the gun hurriedly.

There seems to be some fear.

He didn't know how to use this kind of thing at all.

What happened in just over ten minutes was so bizarre that he didn't even react.

When he raised his head again, Lu Wen was already far away.

The young man hurried to catch up.

"Benefactor, what is your name?" he asked.

"The name is a code name, this thing is random, you can call it whatever you want." Lu Wen smiled.

"me……"

"What else do you want to ask?"

"Benefactor, how did you make so much money? This gold coin... this gun can also be sold for a lot of money, I don't think you care very much."

"When you are strong enough, money is just a matter of quantity."

The young man followed Lu Wen and asked a lot.

The night is getting darker.

Lu Wen's hearing is very sensitive, so he can detect it.

There were some people behind them.

Those people have followed for a long time, and the main target should be him.

"Oh, during this period of time, it is more casual, and I forgot the simple reason that money is not exposed. The security of this ghost place in Baker City...It is really hard to say."

Those who followed behind were divided into two groups.

Two rhythmic footsteps, cautiously.

Occupies an absolute advantage in number.

The only thing that can make them so careful is the reddish mechanical spider on Lu Wen's shoulder.

Red means danger.

"Where is your home?" Lu Wen asked.

"Just around here, benefactor, do you have a place to rest at night? If not, you can..."

"No, some are busy tonight, watch carefully, the intersection in front of you turns."

"Turn... uh..."

This young man also realized.

Having lived in Baker City for more than ten years, there is still this sense of crisis.

"Have you used a gun before?" Lu Wen asked again.

"I haven't used it, this is very expensive, I can't afford it." The young man shook his head.

In fact, it is not very expensive.

In Mowu City, an ordinary person at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can afford the cost of guns, as long as they can get the purchase application.

But here in Baker City... the bottom line of poverty has been pulled down a lot.

Many people live a life full and hungry.

The flickering lights on the streets make this dark world seem a little weird.

The two turned left at an intersection ahead.

at the same time.

The spider on Lu Wen's shoulder leaped down, and its two sharp front paws pierced into the base of the street lamp.

"boom--"

Regardless of whether it is connected in parallel or in series, if the main line is cut off, the flame must be turned off.

Several streets plunged into darkness in an instant.
