Chapter 114 Canned Food
"Of course I have no interest in killing you, but you'd better show me your worth!"
Shihui poked the man's temple hard, already trying her best to suppress the murderous intent in her heart. Seeing that he was silent, she put the gun back, retreated behind Holrod, and gestured for him to go talk to him.
Horod put the shovel behind the door, walked quickly to the man and pulled him up. He stretched out his calloused hand and patted the dust off the man's shoulder, saying kindly:
"Are you okay, young man?"
"No...it's okay...wait, you are...Mr. Holrod!"
The man who was originally still in fear was now full of surprise in his tone, and even had tears of excitement in his eyes. He said in disbelief: "It really is you, old man!"
"I thought you were all killed by those monsters..."
When he talked about the monster, his tone was still full of fear, and one could even say that his whole body was trembling.
When the strange rainstorm came before, he was curled up alone in this small wooden house. There were all kinds of disgusting monsters hanging on the speeding trains in front of him. Some coal cars were even unmanned and were running around recklessly.
He could only survive by hiding under the table with a shotgun.
The shocking and crazy scenes on those trains were so shocking that he was always in a state of nervous tension.
Although Horod didn't know the other party, since the other party recognized him, everything would be much easier. He patted the other party's shoulder vigorously and said, "We are preparing to flee to Heim Harbor. Black Bear Town has completely fallen. We are now in a desperate situation."
"I thought there were no living people here anymore, but I didn't expect you to be alive. That's great! Please move the tracks to the Black Forest. We have to leave as soon as possible!"
"This... Black Forest..."
When he heard that the other party was going to the Black Forest, the man was obviously a little surprised and hesitant. Others did not know the dangers of the Black Forest, so how could this Horod not know?
The Black Forest is most dangerous only at night, and it takes at least four hours to pass through it.
Basically, all trains go through the Black Forest when there is plenty of time during the day, otherwise they will choose to take a long detour.
After all, if the goods are lost, they can be transported again, but if a life is lost, it is really gone!
But when he looked at the gloomy-eyed lime leaning against the wall, he had no choice but to swallow his words.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The man walked to the operating controls and flexibly manipulated the levers of different colors.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the loud noise of the rails ahead, the complex lane changers began to work, and the lane change was completed in a moment. The whole process was extremely fast.
“I didn’t expect the action to train my speed.”
"That's natural. These experienced lane changers can tell which road the other party wants to take just by hearing the train whistle blow in advance, and can quickly complete the lane change!"
Horod proudly explained the convenient tricks for running the train, but when he turned around, the other party had an indifferent expression and seemed not to have heard his words at all.
This made him complain more about Shihui in his heart, and he became more and more disgusted with the girl in front of him.
He simply turned a blind eye and continued to look at the middle-aged man and said, "Why don't you come with us? It's better than staying in a place like this alone..."
Before Horod could finish his words, the man's head was shaking as fast as a rattle. It was obvious that it was a rejection without hesitation or disguise.
If he had to take the Black Forest, the route with the highest mortality rate, he would rather wait for death in this small place. After all, there is a difference between suicide and waiting to die.
Seeing the other party's silence, the man felt a little frightened and quickly explained: "My family is still here and I can't leave, so please forgive me for not being able to go with you..."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to the two of them.
Horod felt very helpless. He was the only old man on the entire train, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, he would rather hold a piece of iron in his hand every day than deal with women.
He could only continue to persuade her, "That's okay, we can stay here and wait for you and your family..."
"no!"
This time it was Shihui who interrupted him, and his tone was decisive.
Horod immediately felt unhappy, turned around and asked angrily, "What do you mean by 'no'? What danger could there be in staying here for a while?"
"You're too nervous, little girl. We've been out for so long. Even if those monsters can smell us and catch up, how fast can they catch up? Can't they wait for their families to come over?"
Shihui frowned slightly and felt angry.
She really didn't want to explain too much to this stubborn old man.
"If I tell him there's a blood mist chasing me, I'm afraid he'll tell everyone where he goes. By then, the entire train will be packed, and that'll be troublesome..."
The most important point is that Lime doesn't want to waste those precious places in the Shadow Ring, let alone use them to summon an old man who is good for nothing and can only lead the way.
She didn't want to do that kind of thankless task.
After the Hell Knight sensed it, black and purple flames surged all over his body. He clenched the blood-red sword in his hand, as if ready to attack at any time.
Seeing the Hell Knight's undisguised murderous intent and the terrifying longsword emitting a blood-red light, Horod couldn't help swallowing.
He also vaguely guessed that these monsters had no consciousness and were completely obedient to the witch in front of them.
The other party only needs to say one word at this moment, and this Hell Knight will kill them both quickly without any delay.
Looking at Shihui's face, which was almost frosted, it was obvious that he was ready to kill.
"Big... big... cold, lend me some..."
Faced with such a terrifying and depressing atmosphere, the man was like a small ant standing in front of a tiger, which could be easily stepped on to death by the other party at any time, so that he even spoke incoherently.
"Woof woof woof~~~~"
At this tense and oppressive moment, Big Bad Wolf broke the status quo. He quickly crawled under the single bed in the corner of the room, and after some trouble, he pulled out a wooden box from it.
When the man saw the things under the bed being taken out, his face turned anxious and he couldn't help but shout: "My food!"
After seeing the words "canned food" written on the box, Lime, who had been frosty, immediately regained his composure.
She quickly pulled the wooden box over. There were about ten cans missing from it, and the remaining cans added up to more than thirty, which was a considerable amount of supplies.
But if you think about it carefully, it's very simple. After all, this is a lane-changing station, and they will definitely come here regularly to replenish supplies, and the food must be the kind that is not easily damaged or spoiled.
What they lack most now is food. Although they are all girls and have small appetites, it does not mean that they do not need to eat.
The food they brought with them was not enough to sustain them for two days, so now it can be said that this is a blessing in disguise.
Shihui suppressed his excitement and picked up the can of green luncheon meat to examine it.
"Canned luncheon meat... Then the bottom should be..."
Before she could continue thinking, Wolfy dragged out another box of canned food from under the bed. This time the cans were not missing and were neatly placed in the wooden box.
Shihui immediately ordered: "Lift up the bed!"
"Crack!"
The Hell Knight lifted up the single bed with one hand, but there was only a box of canned food left inside. This time, it was not luncheon meat, but canned vegetables in thick sauce.
Although it is not meat, it is also a good supplement.
Shihui stood up from the ground, slowly took out the revolver from his waist, and said with a look of unyielding determination on his face: "I'll take all these away, do you have any objection?"
"I..." The man wanted to say that this was all his food rations, but he didn't expect the other party to take out a handful of gold coins from his arms, which immediately made him choke on his words.
"No problem at all, take them all. If it's not enough, take the bed too!"
Shihui was just taking advantage of the fact that the other party was unaware of the dangers and madness of this world and using threats and inducements. If he really realized what was happening, he would probably never exchange food for it even if he was beaten to death.
After all, in the end times, money is the most worthless thing.
But she still left five cans of meat and five cans of vegetables for the man before leaving, so as to avoid being scolded by the old man for being too harsh.
……
A moment later, the train set off again.
As expected, lime returned to the train along with the bed and supplies. As the only old man on the entire train, Horod was arranged to sleep directly in the boiler room, and this bed was just right for him to sleep on.
After storing the canned food in carriage number two.
Oleina walked to her side in a panic and whispered in her ear: "Ms. Hilde, Anne said she saw a strange figure with a pale body in the forest..."
