Chapter 1486 Seeing off guests


    It’s the same reason that the kid’s brother didn’t dare to eat that biscuit at first. It’s original sin for them to have something that no one else has. Even if it gets into their stomachs, some people will still kill them out of jealousy, especially if they don’t have adults. Protect.


    Now it seems that all the children around have eaten biscuits. Those two children are not eye-catching, but they have no adults to take care of them, and they are weak. They are the lowest class of people in the slums. Now that they have eaten biscuits, they may be disemboweled at night. The broken belly was thrown in the trash.


    ??If they didn''t get strange diseases from eating the same kind of food, I''m afraid they would have died long ago.


    In fact, before nightfall, people had already come out to grab the two biscuits. They were all adults, and one of them was holding a knife.


    ? fully aware that something that cannot be eaten is not his own. The child who brought the biscuits back had already stuffed the biscuits into his brother''s mouth and said, "Everyone has them. Many people have gone to get the biscuits..."


    When the boy''s brother compromised, the appearance of several adults made him fall into fear again. However, before they could get closer, the head of the man holding the knife flew out, and the blood spurted out on the faces of the people next to him. , several people fled in panic.


    The two children were briefly safe.


    Because the biscuits won the favor of the children, when Xu Huo asked where there was water, the children whispered to him.


    There are several water stores that specialize in selling water. Clean water is called first-class water. It is very expensive. If you want to buy it, you have to go to your door to get it. Ordinary people eat and drink second-class water. This water is connected to all the people who pay for it through pipes. In the homes of residents who pay a fee, the water store will release water regularly, and the amount of water that every household can use is the same.


    As for those who can’t pay their water bills, they can only use acid rain. However, due to the special environment, acid rain is not easy to collect and they still need to queue up.


    In fact, the cost of purifying groundwater contaminated by acid rain is not high, but in District 026, which has little water, it has become a means of controlling ordinary residents.


    ?Of course, this is also because the “big cities” control water sources.


    After a while, a dark and tall man appeared in front of Xu Huo. The children dispersed consciously after seeing him. The man looked at Xu Huo and said, "Since you are so interested in our water shop, why don''t you go and sit down?" ?”


    Xu Huo followed him to the water store located in the waist of the slum. It was much cleaner than it looked down below. There were ten players standing up and down in a small two-story building. Two water pumps for pumping water were inside the house, respectively marked with The words "First Class" and "Second Class".


    When he entered, a woman happened to come to buy water. The woman took a small mirror and arranged her makeup while saying: "Master Ma is celebrating his birthday today, so bring more water."


    ?Two players on the first floor went to get water and called the woman: "Secretary Bi, sit down and have a sip of tea."


    The woman sat down proudly, her eyes never leaving her mirror.


    “Please come upstairs.” The tall black man urged Xu Huo.


    On the second floor, as soon as the door was closed, six players surrounded him. The man sitting on the office chair turned around and stared at him with a smile on his face, "Friends who came from afar, you didn''t say hello." It’s okay to stay on our property for three or four days, but it’s inappropriate to ask around now!”


    Xu Huo hung the folded umbrella on his left arm and said calmly: "I was just surprised at the difference in the living environment here, so I just asked casually."


    "It doesn''t matter what you have in mind," the man patted the simple map on the table, "but we really don''t have anything good to entertain you here. The city is less than half a day''s walk away. It''s a serious and good place. Why don''t you go there and have a look?"


    "I have no plans to leave for the time being." Xu Huo refused directly and said: "If no one comes to trouble me, I will not trouble you."


    He is a C-level player. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, he has just touched the threshold of an advanced player, but in the eyes of those who live day by day, he is still a strong player, especially Xu Huo, who seems to be uninjured but is uncharacteristically staying here. The people in the water shop squatted for several days without seeing the flaw, and they didn''t dare to take action rashly. Today''s incident was just a simple test.


    "Everyone who comes here is a guest. We are doing serious business, and we are not unreasonable people. As long as you don''t cause trouble on my territory, I can guarantee that no one can threaten your safety!" The man boasted, "But a favor is a favor. , Rules are rules, talk less and ask less.”


    ? Xu Huo smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, they were interrupted by calls for help from downstairs.


    ??The people from the underground palace followed them all the way. Now they saw that the young man was alone outside the door, and Xu Huo didn''t come out for a long time, so they couldn''t help but arrest him.


    ??Going straight through the wall of people, Xu Huo stood by the window and stared down, ignoring the surprises of everyone in the room, he said: "Isn''t this the territory of Shuidian? Don''t worry about it?"


    “You have broken the rules by bringing people from the underground palace here.” The man behind the desk covered his face and said in shock.


    "How pitiful it is for such a young child to suffer from birth." Xu Huo looked back at the people in the room, "If you lose your father, your children may be like him."


    “You are threatening me!” The man slapped his hand on the table with a fierce look: “I, Dong San, have been living here for twenty years, and no one dares to threaten me!”


    "Really?" Xu Huo didn''t take him seriously at all, but said: "The young boy below is the first friend I made here. If something happens to him in your territory, I''ll be fine with you. There is no such thing as this.”


    Seeing their secret winks, he continued, "I know there are many of you, but I''m afraid you won''t be able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive."


    ? Xu Huo raised his hand and lit up the tangent threads running through the room. The people at the door were okay, but the man behind the desk had three tangent threads around his neck. Even moving an inch could kill him.


    ??The man stiffened his neck and dared not move, and asked angrily: "What do you want!"


    Xu Huo sighed, "People have gone far."


    Only then did the man realize that he was not joking, so he ordered his men to **** him back, not forgetting to warn: "Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, so be careful!"


    Xu Huo returned to the room and sat down. He took the man''s kettle and made himself a cup of tea.


    “The cleanest water still has a bitter taste.” He commented after taking a sip.


    The man snorted coldly.


    Not long after, the young man was brought back, along with the players from the water shop. They escorted the young man upstairs, surrounded the water shop, and asked Xu Huo to release the man.


    ??Xu Huo retracted the tangent, pushed several people who were trying to do something secretly to the wall from a distance, and then looked at the man.


    When their eyes met, the man felt an unprecedented pressure. He struggled for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Send off the guest!"
