The man probably sensed the muzzle of a gun, and his whole body froze. He was about to turn around with an angry look on his face, but Shen Bei poked his head out from behind and said, "Shh."

Shen Bei reached out and grabbed a peanut, chewing it. "Tell me, after I pull the trigger, will I let you meet Wang Ye?"

The man's face suddenly turned pale and his pupils shrank, as if reminding people of the fear of being dominated in the past.

The man took a deep breath and said in a steady tone, "Who are you? I don't know you! The locals are so rude!"

"I like your answer."

Shen Bei put away his gun, sat opposite the man, and smiled silently: "Song Zuo or Song You?"

"right."

Song You waved his hand, asking the bartender to serve the wine, then turned to Shen Bei and said, "Hey, I—"

Shen Bei pressed his hand: "Shen Bei."

"I don't care who you are. I repeat, I have never seen you and I don't know you. Stop joking, okay?"

Shen Bei's eyes were full of a sense of control: "The desire to survive is very strong."

Song You had a bitter expression on his face, clasped his hands together, and said helplessly, "If I knew you were from Shelter No. 36, I wouldn't come here even if you kill me."

The bartender brought a glass of wine, and Shen Bei asked, "Where's Rock?"

The bartender wiped his glass and thought for a moment: "He was called away by the general's guards."

Shen Bei waved his hand and told the bartender to go away.

"It's my treat." Song You said, "Since now, we have just met. Don't mention the past, and I won't talk about it either. I worked hard to get it over with. Let's not cause trouble for each other."

"Do you know what's in that bag?" Shen Bei asked lightly.

Song You spread his hands and said, "I'm just a person who is carrying out a mission. Why would the boss tell me this?"

"Ignorance equals life. I've seen it in you. Actually, that thing is—"

"Stop." Song You said in a strange tone, "I don't want to hear it. Can we move on from this?"

"Row."

Shen Bei lit a cigarette and asked curiously, "What's the purpose of such a big show?"

Song You looked around and saw that no one was watching. He leaned over the table and asked in a very low voice, "I'm just guessing and only have a vague understanding. Let me ask you a question. Have you found anything unusual in the city ruins or the wilderness?"

Shen Bei tilted his head.

abnormal?

In this world of refugees, it is normal that there are abnormalities everywhere, right?

Shen Bei smacked his lips: "Why don't you use your intelligence to humiliate me?"

Song You showed a sense of superiority at the time and said, "That's because you lack observation skills. I'm one point ahead of you."

"Go ahead."

"You..." Song You kept a mysterious expression on his face and whispered into Shen Bei's ear, "Have you ever seen any corpses that have been dead for a long time, whether in the ruins or in the wilderness?"

Shen Bei: ???

The question raised by Song You struck a bolt of lightning in Shen Bei's mind.

Shen Bei took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, examined it carefully in the dim light, then lit it with an old-fashioned lighter, the flame dancing in the darkness.

The tungsten filament bulb overhead swayed, casting a dim light, dividing the noisy bar into two worlds.

One is the small table for Shen Bei and Song You, and the other is the bar.

Shen Bei took a deep puff of the cigarette. The smoke lingered between his lips and teeth, then slowly dissipated, as if his thoughts were also drifting away in this hazy light and shadow.

Shen Bei tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a dull knocking sound. The cigarette burned between his fingers, and the sparks flickered.

Shen Bei was indeed shocked by Song You's question.

think carefully.

Shen Bei has walked through urban ruins many times and even fought many battles in them.

And there are even more miles to walk in the wilderness.

The time with Liu Zhuima and Gan Mo alone took nearly ten days.

But Shen Bei really overlooked one detail.

That is Song You's problem, whether in the ruins of the city or in the wilderness.

Not a single body was found!

Of course, this refers to corpses that have been dead for a long time, the kind that have been weathered or turned into skeletons.
