The Death List Novel - Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Migrant Worker

Looking at the rolling bones on the ground, Qin Lun expressionlessly wiped his cheek with his finger. He lowered his head and saw that there was a strand of blood on his fingertips. In the end, he still hadn’t completely dodged the bone’s claw strike, and there was a small wound under his left eye.

Qin Lun’s eyelids twitched slightly. Although the wound was insignificant, it was the first time he had been injured by an ordinary person since becoming an apostle.

The atmosphere on the open ground was almost frozen. The surrounding members of the violence group stood up silently, picked up the crude weapons beside them, and slowly surrounded them. The failure of the chief and deputy leaders did not lower their morale, but instead aroused the tyranny in everyone’s hearts.

Qin Lun felt helpless as he watched the red eyes and thick breaths of the thugs. He hadn’t expected this group of people to be so fierce. The young man flipped his left hand and put away the Evil Dagger. He pulled out the Song of the Abyss and lowered his black and white spears to his side.

Although this world couldn’t use magic scrolls, he had a large amount of recovery items on him. He could destroy this violent group of only twenty people at a small price. He didn’t really care about the current situation. Through his one arm and bones, he already knew that there were no experts in this violent group. No matter how ferocious a group of ordinary people were, they wouldn’t pose any threat to him.

However, once he launched a massacre, he might attract the attention of some experts on Meteor Street, and that would not be worth it.

“Cough cough, stop!” At this moment, a faint voice sounded from the open space. Everyone turned their heads and saw that their bones were pale. With the help of one arm, they stood up forcefully.

“The two of them are yours. Let’s go!” Bone didn’t waste words. He wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and calmly looked at Qin Lun. He pointed at Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya who were shrunk to the side with his fingers.

Hearing Bone’s instructions, the faces of the members of the Violent Corps darkened. A few people came out to support the badly injured bones and one arm, and they removed the encirclement around Qin Lun. The group slowly left the empty space.

People living in Meteor Street must learn to judge the situation and neither give way nor insist blindly. Any casual concession would make other groups look cowardly, and they would lose their chances of survival once they were besieged. However, if the opponent was too strong, he could not blindly persevere. In order to survive, he could only make concessions to the opponent.

Qin Lun and the other two had dealt a heavy blow to the leader and deputy leader of the violent group. Clearly, they were much stronger than them in terms of martial power. Not to mention the two children, even if they wanted to take the lives of their bones and one-armed men, they would still have to compromise.

The people on Meteor Street were very perceptive, so when Bone ordered the withdrawal, not only did one arm not object, but even the other gang members did not say anything. Just because they were unafraid of death did not mean that they were willing to give up their lives for nothing. Exchanging the smallest price for the survival of the entire gang was a law that all Meteor Street thugs had to learn.

Qin Lun looked at the gradual departure of the violent group, but he had a very wonderful feeling in his heart. For the first time in his life, he felt that he could be understood and accepted by anyone but Joey. If the people on Meteor Street were like this violent group, he even felt that this was probably the most suitable social group for him.

“If I run again, I won’t show mercy this time!” Qin Lun suddenly turned around and smiled at Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya who wanted to sneak away. “You guys shouldn’t be official members of that gang, right? Take me to your own hiding place.”

…

Qin Lun looked around the surroundings. This was a simple shack, located on the back of a garbage mountain. The building materials were some iron sheets that had been removed from nowhere, and there were patch marks everywhere.

Although the cracks between the iron sheets were mostly pasted with mud by the two little fellows, they could slightly block out the poisonous dust and the cold wind at night. But when it rains, the shack will still become a big sieve full of holes.

After Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya brought Qin Lun to their residence, their fear of the youth eased slightly. The two of them hid in a corner and snuggled up to each other for warmth. After starving for a few days, Little Ya’s mind was already a little blurry. Xiao Nan was still awake, but his face was pale, his lips were cracked, and his entire body was covered in sweat. This was a sign of severe dehydration.

After observing his surroundings, Qin Lun sat on the wet ground and took out a small package from his storage space. Inside the package was a large jug of water and some wheat cakes, which were the lowest level of recovery food that could be exchanged for the Broken Star System. To the young man, these items could not recover much health and energy. They were only used as ordinary food to maintain his stamina.

“Eat!” Qin Lun picked up the kettle and poured himself a few mouthfuls of it before placing it in front of Little Nan and Little Ya along with the wheat cake.

“Food!” The blurry little maid suddenly stirred up and stretched out her small black hand to grab the wheat cake in front of her.

However, she was immediately pulled back by Xiao Nan’s tightly grabbed arm. The boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and struggled to move his gaze away from the food and water. He stared at Qin Lun and asked in a hoarse voice, “What do you want us to trade for?”

“Haha, what do you have to exchange?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he asked meaningfully.

“Our lives!” Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Lun without fear.

“I don’t eat human flesh. Your lives aren’t worth mentioning to me. You can’t even exchange a drop of water for a piece of wheat cake residue.” Qin Lun’s smile was the same as before. He wasn’t surprised by Xiao Nan’s answer at all. “Eat, I owe you first.”

Little Nan was still hesitant, but Little Ya couldn’t help but pull at the corner of Little Nan’s clothes, “Big Brother Little Nan, I’m hungry …”

Seeing Little Ya’s eager gaze, Little Nan finally nodded lightly. Little Ya seemed to have received amnesty as she crawled forward on all fours and grabbed a piece of wheat cake with unprecedented agility. Just as she was about to stuffed the wheat cake into her mouth, she suddenly remembered something and surprisingly paused. She turned around and handed the wheat cake in her hand to Xiao Nan.

Looking at the two children who took care of each other and depended on each other for their lives, Qin Lun was slightly absent-minded, his eyes shining with memories.

While Xiao Nan was eating, he would occasionally sneak a glance at Qin Lun. Seeing that the youth did not pay attention to him, he turned around and winked at Xiao Ya. The little girl rolled her eyes and her thin body slowly moved over, blocking the path between Qin Lun and Xiao Nan.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. Although his gaze wasn’t on the two of them, under the detection halo’s perception, their movements were even clearer than “seeing”. However, he did not stop the two of them. He observed them curiously in his heart, wanting to see what the two little fellows were planning to do.

The two little fellows’ next actions caused him to sigh even more in amusement. Little Nan borrowed Little Ya’s cover to swiftly sweep his hand and silently swept a piece of wheat cake into a dark corner. After eating and hiding, the food and water that Qin Lun took out were quickly swept away by the two of them.

“Are you full? If you’re full, answer some of my questions.” Qin Lun asked kindly.

Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya exchanged a glance, wiped their mouths, and the chick nodded like it was pecking rice. This was their first full meal in days. Although there weren’t many items, don’t forget that what Qin Lun took out was a recovery food for the apostles. It contained abundant energy and was enough to replenish the bodies of the two little fellows.

“Has anything happened here recently?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked his first question.

“No!” Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya shook their heads in harmony.

“No?” Qin Lun rolled his eyes and continued to ask, “Then, who is the strongest person here?”

“Bone boss!” The two little fellows said at the same time. However, Xiao Nan immediately changed his tone and said, “My lord, it’s you now!”

“That living skeleton is the strongest in this region?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows in surprise. He suddenly felt that he might have missed the clue. These two little fellows might not be mission clues given by the Broken Star System. Perhaps the leader of the Violence Group was the bone.

“Have you seen any Hunters nearby?” Looking at the two little fellows, Qin Lun asked indifferently with one last glimmer of hope.

“Hunter? We can also hunt. We can all be considered hunters!” Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment before pouting and muttering.

Qin Lun sighed and was completely disappointed. Obviously, the two little fellows couldn’t provide any clues. They didn’t even know what “Hunter” was. The expressions and movements of the two little fellows showed that they weren’t lying, and there weren’t many liars who could play tricks in front of a psychologist.

“My lord, have you … gone out to work?” After Qin Lun fell silent, Xiao Ya grabbed Xiao Nan’s arm and stretched out her head from behind him. Her eyes revealed curiosity as she asked in an inaudible voice.

“Part-time job?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “Yeah, how did you see that?”

Even though Qin Lun wasn’t angry, Xiao Nan still took a step forward quietly, blocking Little Ya behind him and respectfully replied, “Your Excellency, although you smell like Meteor Street, the people who usually live in Meteor Street don’t have such nice and clean clothes, nor do they give food to strangers.” Only migrant workers who have gone out will distribute food to others carelessly. ”

“Workers?” Qin Lun slowly narrowed his eyes. “Have you seen any other migrant workers?”

Xiao Nan shook his head, but Xiao Ya raised a small hand and said in a milk voice, “Xiao Ya has seen it before!”

“Nonsense, where have you seen a migrant worker?” Xiao Nan dragged Xiao Ya over and looked nervously at Qin Lun.

“Big Brother Xiao Nan, you’ve seen it before. It was that time …” Little Ya earned her body and pouted unconvincingly.

“That time?” Xiao Nan frowned and a hint of realization appeared on his face. “Those people are not migrant workers. Only the last victor among them will be hired.”

“Oh, can you tell me more about it?” A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face.
