Chapter 126. Summon The Beast
Arc 5 : Wasteland World Movie Nightmare.
The night before, Shen Heng and Old A agreed to meet at 8 a.m. It was already past 7:50. A moment later, Old A walked in.
The moment he saw Old Bao, he was stunned, then his face showed a mixture of surprise and joy, he went up to Old Bao, hugged him, and patted him hard on the back.
Old A’s reaction means that the person below was indeed Old Bao, and there was nothing unusual about him.
Seeing this, Shen Heng pulled Du Yan downstairs.
When Old Bao saw the two people coming down, he also came up to them with a smile and was very polite while speaking: “Boss Shen, long time no see, I really trouble you this time.”
Several people sat down on the sofa in the lobby and started discussing mutant creatures.
Old A told Old Bao everything that happened during this period, including asking Shen Heng to hunt the mutant creature.
Du Yan did not speak and still stood behind Shen Heng with a low profile. He was observing Old Bao, who was very nervous and not in a good mood.
Contrary to his apparent kindness, Old Bao seemed somewhat hostile to Shen Heng and was extremely defensive. Du Yan considered it for a moment, weighed his own situation, and felt that he should not attack when the other party was highly alert.
Wait and see what happens, and then look for a good opportunity.
Old A had already placed the severed hand on the table and said: “I have discussed with Boss Shen that we will follow the blood trail to find the mutant’s lair during the day.”
Unexpectedly, Old Bao directly said: “You don’t have to go, the problem has been solved.”
Shen Heng frowned slightly, looked over, and asked: “What do you mean?”
Shen Heng’s words sounded a bit harsh, but Old Bao didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Shen Heng was not good at socializing, and he usually spoke like this.
Old Bao smiled and said: “Actually, this is all thanks to you. I was lying in ambush at the mutant’s lair for a few days. I saw it coming back injured last night, so I just killed it. From now on, the camp is safe, so don’t worry.”
Old A was overjoyed, smiled, sat down and put his arm around Old Bao’s shoulder, and asked: “Good news! Mate, did you really kill that thing? Where are the missing people?”
Old Bao shook his head and said: “Unfortunately, I was still a step too late. The missing Pure Ones were probably eaten by him as food, and only some stumps were left in the lair.”
Old A patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: “There is nothing we can do about it. From today on, we don’t have to worry about it anymore, which is a good result.”
There, XiongDi’s deep emotions were on stage. Old Bao was still a little upset about the fact that many people died in the camp. Here, Du Yan hugged a cushion and hid the sneer on his face.
Unlike the innocent Old A, this Old Bao is a deep-minded person. When he mentioned the victims, his heart was not moved at all, but his face showed a sad and powerless expression.
If the occasion wasn’t wrong, Du Yan really wanted to applaud and praise his good acting skills.
Shen Heng was a straightforward person, and he didn’t think it would be inappropriate to speak up and provoke Old Bao at this time.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked directly: “Since you killed the mutant, where is the body? I want to see it.”
“When I saw the monster’s lair and the bodies of Pure Ones left inside, I felt heartbroken and burned it with fire.”
Old Bao answered quickly and didn’t look like he was lying.
Shen Heng asked again: “Then you should have seen clearly what the mutant creature is?”
Old Bao replied: “Well, although the mutation was quite severe, after careful observation, I think it should be a chimpanzee. I didn’t expect that this animal with high IQ before the radiation would still maintain a certain IQ after the mutation. It was quite difficult to deal with.”
Old A nodded: “Chimpanzees are social animals. Fortunately, there was only one this time. If there were a group, our entire camp would be finished.”
Old A has completely believed what Old Bao said. Animals mutate under radiation, insects grow to giant size, and any direction of mutation is possible. In addition, chimpanzees are inherently extremely close to mankind. It makes sense that their forelimbs become like human hands after mutation.
Although Shen Heng still had some doubts in his heart, the entire attack happened in the 135th tribal settlement after all, and the people who died were all members of the tribe.
Now, the tribe leader Old Bao claimed that the matter had been dealt with, then it was not convenient for Shen Heng to intervene further. Since the bounty had been terminated, Shen Heng did not intend to waste time here and stood up and said goodbye.
Old Bao was a very generous person. In addition to the reward for transporting anti-radiation medicines, the reward taken out from the warehouse also includes the bounty.
Shen Heng pushed the things back and said: “You killed the mutant. I haven’t completed my mission yet, so I can’t accept it.”
But Old Bao insisted on pushing things back and said: “You can’t say that. If you hadn’t cut off its forelimb, I probably wouldn’t have been able to beat it last night, and I might have been killed. So it’s still up to you that we can get through this crisis.”
Old A nodded repeatedly: “Yes, that’s right.”
Shen Heng stopped refusing, took the gift, and left with Du Yan, with Old Bao and the other following behind to see them off.
Old A and Shen Heng went to get the vehicle. Du Yan found an excuse not to follow them and waited for him at the door.
Seeing Shen Heng’s back disappear, Du Yan turned his head to look at Old Bao, then walked over.
He stood directly in front of Old Bao and smiled at him before he even opened his mouth.
Old Bao was stunned. He was stared at by such a delicate-looking boy with an extremely contagious smile. He was a little overwhelmed.
“Is, is there something?”
Du Yan blinked his eyes and stared at Old Bao with admiration: “I just think you are so amazing. Shen Heng couldn’t catch that strange creature last night, but you killed it directly. You are really more amazing than Shen Heng!”
Old Bao’s expression was unusually stiff, and he waved his hands repeatedly: “Nothing, I’m just lucky, lucky.”
“Can you tell me what the situation was like at that time?”
Seeing the other party’s expectant face, Old Bao had no choice but to start describing what happened last night. Du Yan nodded as he listened and occasionally asked a few questions that sounded very innocent and ignorant of the world.
Old Bao was getting more and more excited when Du Yan suddenly asked: “Are you back here to get some anti-radiation medicine?”
Old Bao looked at the beautiful eyes in front of him and replied: “Yes…”
He was dazed for only a moment but soon recovered and asked: “Ah? I didn’t hear what you asked just now.”
Du Yan smiled and shook his head: “Nothing, ah, Shen Heng is here, bye!”
***
The ‘behemoth’ drove all the way out of the camp. Du Yan lay on his seat and watched the sentry post he saw the day before being left further and further away. After they left, the machine gun turrets on the sentry post began to rotate again, and then he saw Old A coming out of the sentry tower and waving from a distance.
Du Yan turned around and asked: “Why didn’t you insist on going to the mutant’s lair to take a look?”
Shen Heng stared at the road and said casually: “If it were me many years ago, I might insist on going to take a look and get to the bottom of the matter. But now it’s no longer possible…”
Du Yan asked: “Why?”
If someone else asked this question, Shen Heng would use a fierce look to force the other person to retreat, indicating that he was unwilling to answer. However, when he met Du Yan’s query, he could only patiently explain: “It can be regarded as the current rules of bounty hunters. You get paid to do things. Unless others entrust you, you can’t interfere too much in the affairs of the tribe.”
Shen Heng paused and added: “Besides, this matter is not a big deal, let’s just let it go.”
Du Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Heng’s ear and said: “You are lying. You are clearly very concerned about it, but you are pretending not to care. I can see through it at a glance.”
Shen Heng did not deny it, nor did he speak, he just remained silent.
Seeing this, Du Yan continued: “Let me give you a reason, stop the car first.”
Shen Heng obediently pulled the car over to the side of the road, and as soon as the car stopped, Du Yan rushed over.
It was a familiar posture again. Du Yan raised his hands and hugged Shen Heng’s neck and said: “I don’t care. I am very curious about this thing. I want to see it alive or dead. Even if it is burned to ashes, I have to see what it is.”
“……”
Du Yan ignored Shen Heng’s reaction and continued: “You know I’m very curious. If you don’t let me see the monster’s lair, I won’t be able to sleep tonight or tomorrow. With a fragile body like mine, I might die if I don’t sleep for a few nights.”
Shen Heng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and said: “You are becoming more and more skilled at tricks now.”
Du Yan was not annoyed and said with a smile: “This trick is most useful to you. How about turning back?”
Shen Heng nodded and followed his play: “I really can’t do anything about you. It’s just a tacit rule among bounty hunters. How can it compare to the serious matter of you not sleeping well?”
The two of them said nothing more and turned around and drove back along the way they came. Shen Heng found a secluded place to hide the ‘behemoth’ and then sneaked into the camp with Du Yan.
After entering the camp, Shen Heng asked Du Yan: “Where do you think we should go?”
“Activity center.”
The two said in unison, then smiled at each other.
Du Yan asked: “Why do you think so?”
Shen Heng replied: “Intuition, I have a feeling that Old Bao will go there. What about you?”
Shen Heng spoke frankly, but Du Yan replied: “It’s a secret.”
Shen Heng didn’t bother with him, he just felt that when the other party talked about secrets, he was like a mischievous little animal. He rubbed Du Yan’s hair out of habit and then picked him up.
“Come on, I’ll take you to a secluded place.”
Du Yan pouted and complained: “Why do I feel like you are getting more and more comfortable with carrying me around? I have the dignity of a man!”
Shen Heng glanced at him and raised his chin to indicate: “Can you climb up to that cliff?”
Du Yan’s response was to hug Shen Heng’s neck tightly and said: “Let’s go, Summon the beast!”
