Human Shackles

Under an abandoned bridge, a group of homeless people lit a bonfire and were cooking mushy food.

Luo Kai stepped forward and said to one of the old men with a messy beard: "Big Bearded, I'm here to join you."

The old man looked at the girl next to him with a sly look, grinned and said: "Xiao Luo, I really saw you right, you got a little girlfriend back so quickly!"

"You look good, Ronaldinho, you are lucky!" The homeless people around also started to boo.

The girl was so frightened that she immediately shrank behind Luo Kai.

"Don't talk nonsense. She is my sister. She has a big beard. Find me a place to sleep. It needs to be clean."

"Easy to say, I'll make sure my siblings live comfortably!" The old man patted his chest and led them to a bridge in the corner.

The inside of the bridge is messily covered with cotton-wool cardboard, which although simple, blocks the cold wind from the outside world.

Luo Kai exchanged half a pack of crumpled cigarettes for a bowl of paste. This was the leftovers that Big Beard and the others collected from some restaurants and taverns. It was a hodgepodge stewed in a pot. Although it didn't look good, it tasted good.

He placed the paste in front of the girl and took out a few steamed buns: "Eat something and then have a good sleep."

The girl frowned and did not touch the bowl of paste, but nibbled on the steamed bun.

Luo Kai also gnawed on the steamed bun dryly, and said while eating: "If it doesn't work, let's leave here. The world is so big, there is always a place to live."

The girl's eyes turned red and she opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Luo Kai waved his hand: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. It'll be fine."

The scene became quiet. Luo Kai was tired and hungry. He wolfed down a large bag of steamed buns with a mouthful of water, and then ate up the bowl of paste. Then he blocked the entrance of the cave with a wooden board, curled up at the entrance and fell asleep. , for him, food and sleep are the best ways to treat injuries.

He didn't know how long he slept. It was already late at night when he woke up, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at him in the darkness.

Luo Kai stretched out and saw that the wounds on his body had scabbed. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to find a candle to light.

The girl's fair face shone brightly under the candlelight, and she whispered to him: "My name is Xiaozhuo, my father is Zang Haisheng, and the person who captured me is probably my uncle, so I can't go back."

Luo Kai didn't know who Zang Haisheng was, and he didn't bother to ask. He scratched his head and said, "Okay, then stay here for now. They will definitely not find you."

Early the next morning, Luo Kai was thinking about going out to make money. Xiao Zhuo didn't dare to stay here. Luo Kai was also a little worried about the hungry homeless people, so he took her with him.

The two of them walked around the street. They would never be unemployed if they worked hard. Luo Kai found a logistics warehouse and worked as a porter. He earned 120 stars in one day and greeted Xiao Zhuo who had been watching from the side. , looking for restaurants to eat like a nouveau riche.

I found a chicken shop. Large livestock are very expensive in this world, and poultry is much cheaper. It is the main source of meat for ordinary people.

After eating and drinking, Luo Kai took Xiao Zhuo to wander on the street until dark before walking towards the overpass. He knew how tempting women were to those homeless people and tried to avoid conflicts.

These homeless people are poor people. Most of them have disabilities. For example, Big Beard has a broken leg and has been using a prosthetic limb. There are no charities in this world. They rely on charity from others like beggars to survive. It is not easy. .

After leaving the city, they gradually approached the bridge. There was nothing under the overpass, and there was no trace of the homeless people. Luo Kai stopped and looked around cautiously.

A middle-aged man with white eyebrows came out of the bridge hole where he lived. When he saw them, he stamped his feet to create a hole in the ground and rushed straight towards them.

The middle-aged man took five or six steps farther than an ordinary person. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him and grabbed Luo Kai's shoulder.

Luo Kai hurriedly pushed Xiao Zhuo away and faced him with a horizontal fist.

The middle-aged man changed his grip to a fist and exchanged a blow. With a "bang" sound, the two of them took a few steps back. After realizing that the other party was difficult to deal with, they almost simultaneously pulled out the pistols on their waists and aimed at each other. However, Neither dared to shoot.

Luo Kai was sweating nervously. It was impossible to avoid the vital point at such a close distance. Once he was shot, he would definitely die.

What seemed like a series of actions just now actually lasted only a few seconds. Xiao Zhuo on the side reacted and shouted: "Uncle Fu, eldest brother is a good man!"

The middle-aged man's eyes softened, but he did not put down the gun. He said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Zhuo, you are still young and can't tell the difference between good guys and bad guys."

Xiao Zhuo stood between the two of them and said stubbornly: "It was the eldest brother who saved me. He must be a good person."

This middle-aged man should be very close to Xiao Zhuo. Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put down his gun when he suddenly saw a steam truck rushing towards him on the road nearby. A group of men in black raised their hands towards them from a distance in the truck. Got the gun.

Luo Kai's expression changed, and he hurriedly threw Xiao Zhuo to the ground. The bullet hit the cement floor next to him, and gravel flew everywhere.

The middle-aged man's reaction was also extremely slow. While he fell sideways, he did not forget to shoot at the steam truck in the distance.

The three of them rolled and crawled and hid in the ditch nearby.

For a moment, the sky was filled with deafening gunfire, and the whizzing sound of bullets piercing the air made people feel like they were on the battlefield of a fierce battle.

Luo Kai is not nervous. This is not the first time he has fought the enemy with live ammunition, but the situation tonight is much worse. He is no longer a hunter hiding in the dark, but a target in the open, with the opponent's firepower It was so fierce that the three of them hid in the ditch without even daring to risk their lives.

The roar of the steam truck is getting closer and closer. If you don't find a way to break out, you will definitely die!

At the critical moment of life and death again, Luo Kai took a deep breath and controlled his heartbeat rate again. This was the first time since the battle in the fishing village that he activated the surge of energy and blood. His eyes became blood red, and countless subtle information from the surroundings poured into his mind. It gave him a splitting headache, and that powerful feeling of omniscience and omnipotence once again filled his body.

"I'll cover you, you take Xiao Zhuo to the bridge cave!" Luo Kai suppressed the pain in his head and finished speaking in a hoarse voice. Taking advantage of the gap between a series of gunshots, he rushed out so fast that a phantom seemed to appear on the spot.

As if time slowed down, he captured the trajectories of bullets passing through the air. His figure was like a twisted snake, constantly making subtle swings. While dodging bullets, he also fired the first bullet from the pocket pistol in his hand, accurately. Hitting the driver of the steam truck, the Tianling cover was directly overturned, and white and red sprayed all over the cab.

The second bullet was fired, and the man in black in the passenger seat was also hit in the head. The unmanned steam truck rolled over into the ditch, and a group of men in black jumped out of the truck. Shoot while taking cover.

Luo Kai circled around the steam truck, and the pocket pistol in his hand fired every bullet during the high-speed movement. Every bullet must be accompanied by a man in black falling to the ground.

Uncle Fu led Xiao Zhuo towards the bridge hole with a face full of surprise. This gun battle was a bit incredible. A young man actually forced a group of hotshots to go on the defensive.
