He's been caught for the show.

Chapter 134 Coward 04

Knowing that the host was going out, the system volunteered to help project the nearby map, but Chu Lu refused without hesitation.

He's not really blind. He closes his eyes just to reduce the amount of information input, and the system also specially projects him. Isn't that just a burden on the brain of this body?

……

Just as Ebner expected, the nutrient subsidy distributed by District 36 stopped a few days ago.

In the past few days, he has been going to the recycling bins—this is his daily “job”. He selects usable energy blocks, waste parts and other things from the garbage dumps, and resells them to several fixed stores on West Street.

"This job can't be done for a few days."

On the way past, Ebner explained to Chu Lu in a low voice, "Several matches in the 'Arena' have been suspended, and those big shots are probably not in the mood to have fun right now... Tickets can't be sold, and there are no trainees in the arena. Idlers..."

He seemed to be talking casually, and he didn't expect Chu Lu to understand the meaning.

After all, although he still doesn't know the identity of the kid he picked up, but at first glance, the other person is not a person struggling to survive in the slums of District 36, and it is natural for him not to understand the rules of survival in this place.

He said this mainly to remind the other party that there might not be a chance to come out in the future, and if he wanted to do something—such as leaving a mark for those who came to rescue him—he had better take advantage of today's opportunity to do things.

Ebner heard Ling Lu give a low "hmm", and was not sure for a moment whether the other party understood what he meant, or just responded casually.

The young man frowned tightly, and after thinking about it, he decided to speak more clearly, but when he tilted his head, he met a pair of pure black eyes.

——Has this boy opened his eyes?

What, I can see it.

It's not surprising, although this kid has kept his eyes closed, Ebner has always been skeptical about whether the other party can see this.

The main reason is that the opponent's actions are too smooth, and he doesn't have the quality that a blind person should have at all.

When Ebner was going out, he wanted to ask if he needed help, but he found out that this kid was still able to move freely not only inside the room, but also outside.

...Did he open his eyes when he wasn't paying attention?as it is now.

I don't know what's wrong with keeping my eyes closed all the time.

But when he opened his eyes, he looked younger.

Ling Lu's eyes are very big, the pupils and the whites of the eyes are distinct, and the ends of the eyes droop slightly...

Although he is about the same height as him, he is still a little taller.

But... kid?This is.

In a sense, Ebner's guess is not a problem.

It has only been eight years since the institute where TY-376806 was located was destroyed. Before that, the researchers in the institute had spent half a year confirming that TY-376806 had no practical value, and decided to stop the TY program and destroy the experimental body at the same time.Therefore, if calculated according to the age from birth to the present, this body is still a baby who is only eight and a half years old.

However, the so-called experimental body is naturally an adult from the day it leaves the cultivation tank.

This too naive face was originally designed for reasons such as "reducing the vigilance of the enemy" and "reducing vigilance". However, the special version of TY-376806 for testing is to further develop the brain area , abandoning the physique of his brothers who did not survive.This face, coupled with the non-threatening thin body, really looks like a child at first glance, to the extent that people can even ignore their height.

Although the TY plan failed in the end, and TY-376806 has been proven to have no combat effectiveness, some useless designs have played a role in unexpected places.

In short, facing such a face, Ebner even thought for a moment whether his behavior these days could be regarded as child abuse.

But quickly realized, go to the TM kid!

Does this exist in Area 36?Those are a bunch of little devils.

And this person's age is beyond the scope of "children", right? !

In addition, whether it is providing food or housing, what he has done these days is rare even as a guardian in District 36.

Ebner, who was a little annoyed and turned into anger, reminded again with a dark face, "Follow up!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help wondering if his tone just now was too aggressive, but after realizing what he was thinking, he became even more angry.

Chu Lu didn't care about the other party's mental activities at that moment, he agreed casually, and took a last look at the man in the gray-blue coat who disappeared around the corner, closed his eyes again, and followed the boy.

……

…………

With some kind of awkward resistance, Ebner didn't pay special attention to Ling Lu's later actions, which led to him not knowing whether the other party left a distress mark (this is why Ebner thought Ling Lu went out ).

But it was this trip out today that made him realize that there might not be many opportunities to go out in the future.

He saw a few familiar people on the road, probably low-level fighters who had been kicked out of the arena.Although it is low-level, it is already a terrible nightmare for many people, just like the few people who robbed the energy block that day, they are garbage that can't even enter the arena.

And those fighters don't mind killing people, no... It should be said that the blood and broken limbs will only stimulate them even more crazy.

Thinking of those, Ebner's eyes darkened slightly.

— Beasts, madmen...

[Ai, I can’t do this anymore... If this goes on, I will become like them sooner or later...]

……

…………

Ebner pursed his lips and asked Chu Lu, "Have you finished your business?"

Get the other party's soft affirmation.

Ebner recalled it carefully, but he really didn't find anything special about this kid on the road.

Hard to say-

"Is it that person? That... the man in the gray-blue coat."

He remembered the moment when he found this kid suddenly opened his eyes on the road, and he seemed to be looking at someone.

Chu Lu let out a "huh", neither affirming nor denying.

Ebner also realized that his question was a bit out of bounds, and immediately said: "It's nothing, you don't need to answer."

The iris recognition system detects the return of the owner, and the door of the room opens automatically.

While stepping in, Ebner heard the voice behind him, and the kid calmly said: "You can exchange information with him."

This time it was Ebner's turn to be noncommittal.

There is a special intelligence dealer in District 36. Although he occasionally secretly accepts some work, but now that the outside is so chaotic, he can't afford to conflict with those people because of this kind of thing.

Ebner didn't pay much attention to the word "exchange".

He thought for a while, and said in a slightly subtle tone: "The things here are not as simple as you think, brat."

The pauses between these sentences are not the same as his usual way of speaking. It is obvious that he is repeating another person's words, and even the tone of voice is subconsciously imitating.

After Ebner finished speaking, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

— No wonder that bastard Zack is so preachy, it feels... not bad...

However, the listener's reaction this time was different from his back then.

Ebner heard the boy's voice sounded calm again, "Just tell him the basic situation in the vicinity."

"Is it from outside?" Ebner asked, and immediately fell into deep thought.

If he just wanted to know about the basic power distribution here, he could do it. After all, he could just ask someone about this kind of thing.Those intelligence dealers should not bother to care about such a trivial matter.

He heard Ling Lu answer vaguely again, and then continued, "You can ask him about your brother, he should...uh..."

The hand that suddenly grabbed the neck made Chu Lu's unfinished words drowned in his throat.

The body's stress response caused Chu Lu's face to turn pale suddenly, but this time it was obviously much better than before. Although he still needed to open his mouth slightly to help him breathe, and his pupils dilated for a moment, at least his consciousness was still there.

The other party showed extreme fear, and Ebner subconsciously relaxed.

But after realizing what he had done, the strength in his hand increased again.

The boy frowned, and his expression was fierce and stern that he had never seen before, "How do you know about Zach?!"

This is not a big secret, and there are quite a few people who know it, but obviously this kid in front of him is not included.

He was sure he had never mentioned this to the other party.

Chu Lu pulled the hand on his neck with some difficulty.

Although the young man had a vicious look on his face that wanted to kill him, the strength in his hands was not fatal, and even the malice was not as strong as the gangsters he met when he returned to this world that day.

It's just that even this level is enough to arouse the body's crisis response.

He expected that when he brought up this topic, the other party would be excited, but even though he had prepared in advance, this body's stress response still caused him some trouble.

Chu Lu controlled his breathing and calmed down, his throat was still a little tight, and even his voice was a little tense, but he still tried his best to explain calmly, "...I can see it."

"Impossible!" Ebner retorted sharply.

When that bastard just left, he dealt with all the things of that person in a fit of anger. ...The cleaning was so clean that time, even if I tried to find something later, I couldn't find anything.

Several years have passed since then, and even if there are traces of life, they have completely disappeared at this time. It is impossible for this kid to find anything in the room.

Ebner's hand tightened unconsciously, Chu Lu couldn't help coughing a few times, and his face turned even paler.

He suppressed his voice hoarsely, "...sleeping bag."

Ebner was taken aback for a moment.

... There are two sleeping bags in the room.

It was also because of this that on the first day Chu Lu was moved back, he would not sleep on the floor covered in injuries.

But... this really doesn't explain anything, guessing that he has an older brother just because of the extra sleeping bag, is there no logical relationship at all?

Although he was still full of doubts, Chu Lu's explanation made Ebner's hand slightly loose.

The boy's expression was still cold, and he said, "That's just a spare sleeping bag."

Chu Lu's breathing was still difficult, but it was much better than at the beginning.

He took a breath, and then said: "...and this room."

The ferocious expression on Ebner's face froze for a moment, and he heard the kid continue to ask: "He left it for you, right?"

A few days ago, Chu Lu had guessed when he heard people coming and going here in his room. After going out today and making comparisons, his previous thoughts were confirmed.

——The current residence is not something the young man in front of him can occupy. He has, at least once, a protector.

Ebner slightly opened his eyes wide.

He looked at Chu Lu carefully this time, and was a little skeptical... Zack won't pick up children outside again, right?After picking it up for a while, throwing it away, and then the other party chased it here?

...If it's that bastard, it doesn't seem impossible?

……

…………

Just when Ebner was thinking about whether he wanted to have a new brother, Chu Lu had already rescued himself by taking advantage of the time when his hands loosened his strength, and straightened his collar with his hands.

It was originally intended to test the tolerance of the current body, and after getting the result, there is no need to maintain the previous awkward posture.

——The situation is a little worse than estimated, but it is also within the acceptable range.

When he came back to his senses, Ebner found that his hands were empty:? ? ?

But his mind is not on this at the moment, he only thought that he accidentally let go when he was distracted just now.

He stared at the kid in front of him, hesitant to speak, "You..."

Chu Lu sensed Ebner's confusion.

Although he felt that the emotion he felt from the young man was a bit subtle, he didn't expect that the other party could imagine such a strange place, but guessed that the two conditions mentioned just now were not enough to convince the other party.

Out of the slight guilt of treating the boy as a test tool just now, Chu Lu's patience at this time is still good.

He thought for a while, and then explained: "According to your age and current physical fitness, you should not be able to enter the arena, but you know the situation inside very well...not the kind of understanding from the outside, obviously you People close to you — only family at your age — were in there.”

"And you're not happy when you bring it up."

"...not happy, obviously 'he' is not the manager inside, that can only be 'fighter'."

"And you are very vigilant, the chance of injury should not be much. But when you help me bandage the wound, you are very skilled. You are very familiar with wound treatment, especially when dealing with other people's wounds."

"Unhappy but not resentful, he didn't die in it... but he didn't live with you either."

"he left."

"Except for the sleeping bag, there is only one set of other daily necessities. He has been away for a while."

"But it won't be too long. It hasn't been a few years since the lifelong contract system was forcibly abolished. Before that, he can't get out. But your worry about him is only within the normal range, which means that he didn't leave when he left. Weakness or old age, but the prime of youth."

"However, this reason does not completely negate the possibility of the elder. But your attitude towards him is not that respectful."

"There was even a big quarrel because he left, throwing all his things out... If it is an elder, it usually doesn't do that."

"He may be your older brother or older sister, but in this kind of place..." Chu Lu said, curling his lips downwards, "According to the probability, it is more likely to be 'brother'."

Chu Lu did not mention blood relationship, after all, in this kind of place, there are not many "family members" who are bound by blood relationship.

……

…………

Silence, silence.

The expression on Ebner's face can be called dull.

He blinked his eyes twice very slowly, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and only made a meaningless tone between "ah" and "uh".

"you--"

Chu Lu made a posture of listening attentively, but after a short pause, the young man hesitated and said, "Actually...you talk a lot..."

Chu Huaduo Lu: "...?"
