Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words
Chapter 41 When you go out, you give your identity to yourself
Seeing Xuan Li's clear attitude, the shop owner stopped trying to dissuade him and turned back to the kitchen to start making ramen.
As for Xuan Li, he sat down in an empty seat, the strange feeling in his heart still did not disappear. He knew that because of the sentence that he was not a local, the attention of several defense soldiers was still on him.
These people were unexpectedly vigilant.
"Why are you guys from the Defense Force coming here to eat so late at night? I remember the Defense Force has its own cafeteria. I have a friend who's in the Defense Force, and over there, they're not allowed to go out during normal times."
Xuan Li was not afraid of embarrassment and took the lead in bringing up the topic with several defense soldiers, as if this was not some Mars district where people were kept silent, giving people a feeling of harmony between the military and the people.
And it was just a food issue, and it didn't involve any secrets. Xuan Li even had a vague idea of the reason.
After a few seconds of silence in the store, one of the guards laughed twice and replied to Xuan Li:
"Hahaha, the cafeteria where your friend lives must be very good, unlike ours, because of those bastards, the food is simply inedible, otherwise we wouldn't spend money to eat out."
The defense soldier's rough voice echoed in the store. Since he was not in a hollow, he was wearing a normal uniform, and coupled with his personality, he gave people a very approachable feeling.
"Brother, be careful with your words, or the higher-ups will find out."
Next to the rough guard, another guard poked him twice with his hand that had not yet retracted, and reminded him in a low voice.
I asked you to test this person, not to scold your superior directly.
"Tsk, they're all just cutlass meat, am I really afraid of what that bitch raised?"
The rough guard snorted coldly and didn't take it seriously.
He gave the people around him a look, what do you know? This would help him gain other people's trust. What's more, these were his true feelings. It would be a waste not to scold them. Even if people found out, he could use this excuse to get away with it.
"Haha, this reason never occurred to me. But it was the same when I was in school. That cafeteria was just too hard to describe..."
Xuan Li smiled and "fabricated" his past very naturally, but it couldn't be said to be false, after all, it was something he had experienced.
"So, we do share the same suffering. It's just a pity that my family wasn't financially able to afford it when I was young. Otherwise, I might not be in the Defense Force now, but still be working in the Public Security Bureau... Never mind, let's not talk about this."
The rough guard shook his head. What he said was a real experience, and it seemed that he was expressing some truth.
"Little brother, if you don't mind, would you like to come and sit here? Speaking of which, we've been in the Mars District for so long that we've almost forgotten what it's like outside."
"It's fate that I met you, a person from outside."
At this moment, another guard spoke and greeted Xuan Li with a smile, very friendly.
Xuan Li naturally would not refuse, nor could he refuse, so he simply sat at the same table with confidence.
"Ramen is coming!"
The voice came from the back kitchen of the store, and the uncle came back with a bowl of steaming ramen. After seeing Xuan Li's position change, he paused and then placed the noodles in front of him.
Xuan Li picked up the chopsticks and looked at the soup noodles covered with red oil, feeling a little unsure where to start.
Just as he was about to try it, a guard asked curiously
"I wonder where this little brother came from?"
Xuan Li paused, looked up and replied
"I'm from the Janusz district."
"The Janus District, huh? It's neither too far nor too close. But, little brother, this place isn't very peaceful. You should have heard about it, right? Why did you still want to come here?"
It seemed like a casual question, but Xuan Li could already feel the attention of everyone else in the store.
Finally we get to the point.
"Hey, big brothers of the defense force, please don't treat me as an ordinary citizen. Ordinary people have no interest in coming here. I only came to the other side's lair to do something because of some gang conflicts."
"Why, are you guys going to arrest me? You wouldn't do that in the Mars District."
Xuan Li still smiled, took a bite of ramen, and frowned slightly. The taste was indeed impressive.
He did not disguise himself as an ordinary citizen, as that would be too flawed, but instead disguised himself as a high-ranking member of a gang.
In this way, it can better dispel doubts.
"Haha, you can rest assured about this little brother. This is the sheriff's business, not the responsibility of our defense forces."
The rough guard laughed twice and said nonchalantly.
Another guard standing by had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Janus District?
He didn't know much about the outside world, but he knew about the big event in the Crete Hollow, and many members of the defense force knew about it.
The senior officers who already had disagreements started arguing again because of this, and no one knew what the outcome would be.
He also believed Xuan Li's words to some extent. Although it was an inland area of New Ailidu, because of the Crete Hollow incident, the Janus District Defense Force Camp, which was originally responsible for the Hollow affairs, was upgraded to a garrison due to the addition of personnel.
So what Xuanli said was true.
Afterwards, they gradually became familiar with each other, let down their guard and started chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"By the way, brothers, that guy seems to be a member of the defense force as well. Why do you seem unfamiliar with him?"
Xuan Li pointed at No. 11 and asked curiously to several defense soldiers in a low voice.
"She's not from here. She just stopped in the Mars area to rest because she was on her way. She's leaving tomorrow."
"Besides, they are members of the famous Obsidian Battalion. Tsk tsk tsk, they are much more powerful than us. There is no way ordinary defense forces like us can come into contact with them."
"Yeah, maybe people like you who aren't in the defense force don't know how valuable the Obsidian Battalion is. Let me tell you this, even our commander treats her as an equal."
Several people spoke one after another about No. 11, with envy and respect in their tone.
These are not secrets. The name of the Obsidian Camp can be easily found on the Internet.
Xuan Li nodded when he heard this and looked at No. 11 thoughtfully.
By the way, his current enemy is the defense force.
Is it possible that he will run into people from the Obsidian Camp?
In his previous life, he was the one who used a fire knife to beat Yi Gu.
Now it won't be the other way around.
Soon, several guards had finished their food, paid the bill, said goodbye to Xuan Li and left.
Only Xuanli and No. 11 were left in the Huangquan Hotel.
Xuan Li quietly savored the food in front of him. He was actually not very good at eating spicy food, but he liked it very much.
