Putting on the put away khaki overalls, Wei Shen jumped to the building next door while the people downstairs were not paying attention.

The signboard of the adult goods store is still so dazzling, covering up the flashing agile figure.

After continuing to advance on the roof for a while, Shen Siwei found a quiet block and came down from upstairs, and then bought a pair of large masks at a nearby self-service convenience store.

The surface of the mask is a pattern of shark teeth, and between the two rows of teeth, there is a zipper for eating.Now the city is occupied by refugees, and people covering their faces can be seen everywhere on the street, so it would not be strange for Shen Siwei to act with a mask on.

The largest bar in the city center is near the Music Square, and Shen Siwei remembered that this was Bahn's site.

He originally wanted to stay away from the square and take a detour to the bar, but when he got nearby, there was commotion from the square, and many refugees were gathering in the square.

Fearing that something might happen, Shen Siwei simply mixed in with the refugees and came to the outskirts of the music square.

"My brother went to repair his arm, why did he disappear from the world?"

"Then you have to ask your brother."

In the center of the square, the refugees were clearly divided into two camps.Kreiter and Barn stood on both sides, and there was a lot of gunpowder between the two.

Captain Shen Si couldn't help but think of the time when he was taken away by Barn, the two of them were also at war like now.From the gossip of the people around him, it seems that Bane introduced the brother to Crater's mechanic, but the man never came back after he went.

"Okay." Perhaps because he couldn't find out why, Bain changed the subject unwillingly, "How is the negotiation going?"

Kleite folded his arms around his chest and said lightly, "We're still talking."

"Are you sure you're 'talking'?" Barn sneered, "It's all about the bed, isn't that appropriate?"

There were rustling laughter all around, and the people beside Shen Siwei continued to gossip around: "I heard that Kreiter put the negotiator to sleep, and the screams can be heard in the whole building."

Shen Siwei: "?"

"I've heard that too, but the version I heard is that Kreiter was squeezed out of nothing by the negotiator, and he agreed to all conditions."

Shen Siwei: "..."

"It's none of your business to talk about anywhere." Kleite still said without any response, drawing back everyone's attention.

The people beside Shen Siwei immediately silenced their voices, paying attention to the situation in the center of the square.

"The tree of life was attacked by everyone together, and you represent everyone's interests." Bahn put on a reasonable look, turned half of his body, and incited the humanity standing behind him, "How do we know if you have done anything for the sake of it?" Everyone is fighting for benefits? Or are you just thinking about earning benefits for yourself?"

"that is!"

"Negotiations should be open. What does it mean to talk behind closed doors?"

"Let Barn also participate in the negotiation!"

There was a lot of booing from Barn, and the person standing next to Kreit seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and said with a stiff neck, "Do you know what the negotiator proposed? Let us all withdraw from the tree of life! This is nothing to talk about at all. of!"

The people standing beside Bahn couldn't help chiming in: "Then you let the negotiator stand up and say, what's the point of hiding people?"

"That's because someone wants to kill him. What are the consequences of his death here, don't I need to say more?"

"Then you should first explain why our people disappeared with you!"

Seeing that the two sides were likely to quarrel, Clayt tilted his chin slightly to stop the people beside him from saying, "Malken."

Shen Siwei hid in the crowd and looked at the young man named Malken.

He had seen this person in the data, illegally modified the prosthetic body, and had several years left in his sentence.Compared with the old-fashioned photos in the materials, Malken in front of him looks delicate, not like the "old master" Shen Siwei imagined.

"If you came to me just to talk about these shitty things, then you don't need to talk anymore."

Clayter lowered his arms around his chest and put his hands at his side, which was close to his gun.

"If I remember correctly," he continued, "I bought the negotiator with money, and he is now my man. My man has the final say. How and where we talk is our business. It's not your turn to intervene."

In all fairness, Wei Shen felt that what Kreiter said was very unreasonable.

At this time, he brought up the matter of buying Shen Siwei for one dollar, humiliating Bahn again, and at the same time tyrannically swearing his sovereignty.

If Shen Siwei was asked to evaluate objectively, he felt that such an approach was not advisable, and would only deepen the conflict between the two parties.

But looking at Bahn on the opposite side, he thought to himself: Oh, it's all right.

At this moment, the most gossiping person beside Shen Siwei suddenly blew his whistle, as if he was afraid that the incident would not be big enough, he booed, "Well said!"

After finishing speaking, the man shrank his head back like a gopher.

Clayt followed the sound, Ben just glanced at it unintentionally, but immediately looked at this side again, and frowned deeply.

He coaxed the man to squat on the ground, looked at the people beside him and said strangely: "Why are you squatting down with me?"

Shen Siwei, the second gopher, said blankly: "I thought I could pick up money."

Although Shen Siwei doesn't look like blond hair and blue eyes now, it's better to avoid Kleite as much as possible.That hooligan leader had a delicate mind, so he might not see any flaws.

The conversation has almost been heard, and it is estimated that the two will not confront each other for too long.

Shen Siwei simply bowed his body and left the periphery of the music square, not seeing Kreiter's eyes looking for the crowd all the time.

Most of the refugees gathered in the square, but there were fewer people in the bar.

Shen Siwei found a relatively crowded bar and sat down, ordered a moderately strong cocktail, and then quietly took off the oxygen mask hidden behind the mask.

——He had to talk to someone, and he spoke with a mask on, and the agitation of the mask would be unnatural.

The AI ​​bartender quickly made Shen Siwei's order, and each base wine and each fruit was accurate to grams, so that the cocktails made would never be wrong, but they would lack the personal touch of the bartender. style.

Shen Siwei watched the movements of the AI ​​bartender, and before he had time to find someone to talk to, the person sitting next to him asked him, "Has it stopped outside?"

The last person to enter the bar was Shen Siwei, and he was the only one who knew the latest developments outside.

It was time for the prepared cocktail to be pushed in front of Shen Siwei. He unzipped his mask naturally, picked up the wine glass, and said to the man, "Hurry up."

The man said again as if talking to himself: "Barn is always looking for trouble every day, and he doesn't know when it will end."

Shen Siwei took a sip of his wine and asked, "Aren't you going to participate?"

"It's boring." The man had a white beard and looked a little old. He didn't seem to want to participate in these disputes. "Refugees are just a bunch of loose sand. Sooner or later they will be driven out of the tree of life."

"You seem very pessimistic." Shen Siwei said.

"It's a fact." Beard said, "Everyone is just taking advantage of each other, and no one has to be responsible to anyone. The same is true for Clayte. He can abandon the refugees at any time, as long as the negotiator gives the right conditions."

Shen Siwei's heart moved, and he asked, "What conditions do you think the negotiator will offer?"

"Who knows." The bearded man shrugged, "Money? Power?"

However these are of no use.

Shen Siwei continued to say: "Kreit doesn't seem to be short of money."

Beard: "He even dared to go to the deep sea, how could he be short of money?"

It turned out to be the case.

That Kleite's courage is really great.

The deep sea is a forbidden place that even the military dare not set foot in, yet he even dared to fish for treasures.

"That's right." Shen Siwei followed his bearded words, "Then maybe he can find a job."

"It's hard to say." The bearded man shook his head, "He travels in dangerous places all the year round, and he doesn't seem like someone who can live in the system. Even if the negotiator promised him an official position, he might not accept it."

Captain Shen Si suddenly thought of the tattoo on Kleite's back, maybe that was the place he had been to.

"Then it looks like this," Shen Siwei said, "he may not be bought by the negotiator."

"I hope so." After talking, Hu Hu raised his wine glass to Shen Si Wei, and Shen Si Wei also picked up the wine glass and touched him.

Both of them raised their heads and took a sip of wine, and Wei Shen continued to ask: "By the way, do you know what Kreiter is charged with?"

This kind of thing is not even recorded by the military, and it is estimated that other people are not very clear about it.You can only listen to the rumors casually, and there may be some unexpected gains.

As a result, the bearded answer was still expected by Shen Siwei.

"I don't know, he doesn't seem to have told anyone." The bearded man put down his wine glass, looked at Wei Shen and asked, "By the way, what crime were you exiled for?"

"I……"

Shen Siwei had already made preparations, but just as he opened his mouth, the spotlight suddenly turned on on the other side of the stage, and a woman in a gypsy costume came out from behind the curtain.

With a big red flower pinned behind her ear, a feather fan in her hand, and a long skirt hanging down to the floor, she walked towards the audience step by step.

Applause and whistles sounded one after another from the audience. The woman dragged her long skirt around the stage, and then began to sing along with cheerful music.

Familiar tunes, familiar costumes, Shen Siwei stared blankly at the singer on stage, countless messy information flashed through his mind, but he couldn't piece together a complete picture.

The brain goes into overdrive, almost on the verge of exploding.The lyrics have come to my lips, but my head seems to be stuck, and I can't sing it no matter what.

The bearded man beside him, like everyone else, sang along to the tune.

Shen Siwei looked back with embarrassment, asked the bearded man, "Who is she?"

"You don't know?" The bearded man was a little surprised, "She is imitating Sarah, a famous singer."

"Sa...la?"

"It's a pity that I died." The bearded man shook his head regretfully, and continued to sing along with the singing girl who imitated.

The surrounding voices became farther and farther away, and Shen Siwei seemed to be spinning in his own world.

—He seemed to remember.

His last mission before being frozen was to find a showgirl named Sara.
