Chương 24: Chapter-24
The bartender's face contorted into a look of both hunger and thirst the moment he laid eyes on the old issue of social security magazine.
Exhilarated and shivering, he cleared his throat and stretched out his chapped hand while still muttering, "Enough... enough, this book is enough to fill the remaining half of the pot!" He was shaking with excitement.
On the other hand, just as his hand was about to come into contact with a magazine that had severe page breaks, Cooling unexpectedly put his hand on the magazine, making it impossible to pick it up.
"I believe this magazine should be more than half a pot, fill me this kettle, and this magazine is yours," you said to me as you handed it to me.
Alex pulled an empty kettle with a capacity of 2 litres out of her backpack and set it down on the bar. Her response was unequivocal.
The bartender did as he was told, and almost immediately his face began to turn a bluish-gray colour, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch. "Don't go too far, you'll only be able to fill up an additional litre at the most. You are required to be aware of the fact that the quality of drinking water available today is on par with that of gold during the previous era. In addition, our organisation has mandated that each individual can only supply a maximum of 2 litres per week, and if they supply more than that, one litre will be subtracted from their share.
"Very well, forget about it. If I go to the fortress market at your company to exchange this magazine, you ought to be able to exchange somewhere in the neighbourhood of five litres of pure water."
Alex made an effort to take back the magazine, and the bartender saw the situation and immediately pressed himself on the magazine with half of his body, his face showing that the entanglement was painful and uncomfortable. Alex made an attempt to take back the magazine.
"What are you getting from me! Please keep this information to yourself because the transaction is strictly between the two of us!
The bartender mumbled something through clenched teeth before returning to the bar with two empty kettles and some magazines in order to fill the water dispenser.
"Give me back the bag of spar, there is more than enough for the magazine to clean your water if you return it to me," the voice said.
Alex hooked her fingers, smiled, and watched the other person roll her eyes before she threw the spar bag back to herself. This allowed her to remove the obstruction from the path leading to the bartender's heart.
The fact that the bartender was concealing his happiness, however, demonstrated that the value of this magazine, in his mind, far exceeded the value of pure water as a source of life.
It would appear that I am the type of person who places importance on "spiritual food."
Alex observed the bartender return to the backstage area in order to refill the water, so she remained seated in the same spot while she waited, gazing absentmindedly at the herds of cattle and ghosts in the centre of the dance floor.
These dancing crowds basically give off the smell of people who haven't showered for a significant amount of time. After all, even if there isn't enough water to drink, the senior staff of the major mercenary companies will still have access to virtually unlimited supplies of water for bathing. This privilege will not be extended to anyone else.
It is estimated that if you take a bath with water that has been contaminated by black rain, your body skin will basically ulcerate after you wash it, and this will continue even after you take another bath.
However, despite the fact that these individuals are all filthy, it is to their good fortune that their skin does not ulcerate like that of other refugees, nor do they suffer from a wide variety of infectious diseases. If you don't have proper identification, the security guards at the door won't let you in.
Alex was waiting for the bar to fill his water glass when he was startled by a sudden impact from behind him that shattered the table and knocked over the low-level spar that was stored in his bag.
Alex, who approached from the back, was able to predict and sidestep the problem in advance.
But in this chaotic environment, coupled with the fact that he had purposefully dulled his senses, he was taken aback by what happened.
When Alex turned around, he discovered that he was one of the remaining members of the tyrannical group that I had seen on the highway.
The fact that the other party always, at any time, regardless of the time of day or night, wears a pair of sunglasses is evidence that the other party is not a messy character. Other evidence includes the open leather jacket, the piercing chest hair and the beard, the rare fat beer belly now, and the pair of sunglasses.
When the strong man saw that Alex was staring back at him without much interest, he gave Alex a smirk that said "sorry" and then said, "Look, boss just ran into you when he was drunk, and then see if you believe it or not?"
He fixed his intense gaze on the delicate-looking young man in front of him, whose skin was very fair. While the companion was diverting the attention of the target, another member of the tyrannical family sneaked up from behind and placed his sturdy right hand in Alex's Fumbled, which was located in the backpack that was sitting on the table.
The fugitives who were responsible for the distraction discovered that Alex's thin chicken was still staring at him indifferently, and he was ready to get angry immediately; however, when he saw the dark and cold pupil of the other side, he suddenly shivered with coldness, as if he were standing in a thousand feet
For a short period of time, it instilled in him an unexplainable terror of the young man who was thin.
Regarding the member who was responsible for the theft, he observed, without a shadow of a doubt, that his companion was trembling, but he also felt a smooth pistol coming out of the other member's backpack when the latter was getting ready to take it out.
My wrist felt suddenly constricted, as if it were being clamped by iron tongs; he was in a backpack and could not be extracted from it.
Then, an excruciating pain emanated from his wrist, rendering him incapable of restraining his grief; however, he was obscured by the ear-splitting music and the cheers that were going on around him.
He stared at Alex's thin fingers as they pinched his wrist across the surface of the backpack, wondering how he could not pull out. He stared with his eyes wide open.
However, he never once questioned how a young man with such a slight build could possess such incredible strength. Is it the mutated form of the department of power?!!
During this time, the three additional members of the rowdy family who were sitting at a different table and carefully observing the ongoing events also became aware of this peculiarity.
They witnessed one of their companions tremble as the young man stared at him, and another of their companions scream while his mouth was wide open.
After realising that the circumstance is not favourable. The three of them jumped to their feet and started walking quickly.
Damn, you should really take a closer look.
The members of the rowdy family that Alex was staring at appeared to have been struck by some sort of magical wand, as they were drenched in sweat.
The other person sobbed uncontrollably while holding their hand in a viselike grip...
"You guy !!!"
When the three companions who had just arrived saw the situation, they immediately and angrily pulled out a sharp dagger from their waist, and slammed it into Alex's right hand, which was holding his companion's wrist! This was regardless of the strange situation that had just occurred in front of them.
Obviously, Alex was also aware of the surprise assault after he had arrived. Even if he didn't take the shot, there would be tentacles extending from all over his body to resist him, and he would take the next few guys and turn them into a blood clot and absorb it...
On the other hand, Cooling was actively preventing the virus from launching its own attack.
Because in the eyes of these kinds of people, if you show your horror ability that no one has ever seen before, after you pass it you will probably become the prey and experiment of major mercenary companies!
So it sounds like Alex is going to give it his best shot to turn things around!
Just as he was about to use his back elbow to fight the person who was threatening him from behind with a dagger, he managed to free his wrist, which he had been squeezing into his backpack.
Suddenly, a larger palm grasped the hand of the members of the runaway clenching the dagger from behind, and it appeared to twist in an arbitrary direction.
Creak ~
The unfortunate runaway had his palm immediately rotated through a full 360 degrees on the spot, after which the frail pupa was brought down and clung to his wrist. Following a brief trembling, he then dispatched an even more tragic misery than the previous conspirator. call...
The two remaining members of the group of runaways were taken aback and looked back with a mixture of disbelief and rage. Someone with a stature comparable to that of a mountain was standing behind them...
