C19 The Relationship Between Them Had Eased up

By the time Payson found Meow and Bella, he had already given up on resisting. Meow was lying in Bella's arms, letting out a comfortable "huff, huff" sound under Bella's gentle caress.

It seemed that Meow had already put down its guard against Bella, and Bella did not have any intention of harming it.

"At present, everything is normal," Payson thought.

On the other side, Ashes was still questioning Moorer.

"How many times have I told you? I am a third-rate doctor, and I also know a bit about mechanics. I like to work out, and I don't do anything else!" Moorer said in despair.

"That's not reasonable!" Ashes retorted, "According to what you said, you are just a normal citizen! Then why did you use that terrifying interrogation method just now?"

"My God!" Moorer did not know whether to laugh or cry. "There are so many such scenes in movies! What is wrong with me learning a bit?"

"... No, as an assassin, my instinct tells me that you are not a normal person! I must ask clearly!" Ashes still did not want to give up.

"Brother Yu!" Moorer was still at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "The gap between us is at least sixty years! There are many things in our era that are different from now!"

"I'll testify for him. He is right. Moorer was indeed a doctor before he went into hibernation." Payson, who was standing at the side, could not bear to watch anymore and walked over to help Moorer.

Moorer's eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw. He immediately agreed, "That's right, look! Even Payson has vouched for me. I am just an ordinary person! There is no need to think so much!"

"...Then what evidence do you have?" Ashes was still unwilling to give up.

Payson took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the list of personnel that I brought out from the Sanctuary. It clearly shows the gender, height, age, weight, and other details of each person during hibernation. Of course, there is also our workplace and social status..."

Ashes took the document and studied it carefully. He knew the importance of a document, but he, who was born in the wasteland, did not recognize a few letters. It was really difficult for him to read the document.

"Hey? Where did you get this document?" Moorer asked in a low voice.

"I took it out from the drawer in the Sanctuary Registration Hall." Payson made a face. "Actually, it's a cleaner's plan. I was going to use it as a cleaning rag, but I didn't expect it to be of use now."

As Payson had expected, Ashes did not understand. However, he did not dare to say that he did not understand, so he could only pretend that he did. He returned the document to him and said,

"It seems that... you are right. Moorer is indeed a doctor... I was overthinking it..."

Moorer secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If his identity was made public now, then it would be very troublesome!

"Actually, I'm also very curious, what exactly are you doing?" Payson said in a low voice.

"Uhh... that, Ashes... did you find anything good from Bella's body?"

As soon as he said this, Ashes became interested. He took out the small black bag that contained the spoils of war and took them out one by one.

"Oh my! This Bella is a rich woman! Look at this! A high-quality magnesium bar! There is a whole pack of it, just enough for six. Look at this, a brand new smoke grenade. There are three of them, and this! A stun grenade! Oh my! This is a good thing …"

To Moorer and Payson, these things might not be much, but to Ashes, they were all treasures! In his words, with these things, an assassin would be complete.

"... Hey, look! And this … Eh? What is this?"

Ashes took out a silvery-white round object, with a radius of ten centimeters and a thickness of five centimeters. It was made of metal, and there was a small red cross in the center of the disc.

"This is … A type of small-scale force shield generator?" Moorer scratched his head. He had never seen such a thing before.

"It could also be some kind of nano medical bag, which can release nano robots to treat the body in times of crisis … Look at that red cross, it should be some kind of medical equipment. " Payson analyzed.

"What the hell?" When Ashes heard the two of them sharing, he was dumbfounded. What Force Shield? Nanomachine? He had never heard of it in his life. In his eyes, it was just a metal disc. He quickly lost interest in it and shrugged his shoulders and threw it to the side.

He might not have seen the words "keep it safe" on the back of the disc, but the things that happened after that happened because of his toss.

In the end, they counted the resources and found a civilian telescope, six magnesium strips, a set of military night vision equipment, three smoke grenades, three stun grenades, two offensive grenades, a defensive grenade, a military dagger, and a kettle that they had stolen.

"IsDS so poor? They don't even give you a gun?" Payson said snappily. He originally thought that with a large high-tech organization likeDS, it would be normal for them to have a gun, but he was disappointed.

"Nowadays, it's good enough if you have a revolver and an M1911. What else do you want?" Ashes retorted. In his eyes, Payson was too idealistic and always thought of unrealistic things.

"Ah... Speaking of guns... Wait for me for a while. I'll go get something!" After saying that, Moorer ran out of the camp. He dragged out a pile of "garbage" from the repair shop next door and went to the gas station. No one knew what he was doing.

Just as they had predicted, after Bella put down her guard, her smile was really beautiful. Her existence added a touch of color to the campsite filled with men.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Meow, who was a lubricant, Bella would never be able to blend in this environment.

In front of such a cute creature, as long as you were a human, you would never be able to reach it.

By the time the three of them finished sharing Bella's equipment, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Starting from 1 o'clock, Moorer dragged a pile of broken items into the service station and did not come out. Meow was being played by Bella while thinking of ways to get information out of her. Ashes volunteered to go out to get water and search for resources. Payson stayed nearby Meow and supervised her to prevent her from doing anything out of the ordinary while recalling his past.

This woman's face reminded him of an older sister called "Sixteen". That person might be the only one who could see through Payson's mind. Bella looked very similar to her, but there was a difference in nature.

Ashes probably came back at 4: 30 in the afternoon. He carried a few pots of water in his hand and a bag of white granules.

Looking at the foolish smile on Ashes's face, Payson could roughly guess what it was.

It was the salt that they had been longing for!

At six o'clock in the evening, Ashes cooked another pot of soup with the rat meat that had not been dried yet. This time, he added salt, so it was not that difficult to swallow.

Bella carried Meow and came out. It seemed that after an entire day of intimacy, Meow had completely let go of its guard against Bella.

Just as they were about to eat, Ashes suddenly asked Bella why the DS' organization didn't give her a gun.

"That's very... annoying..." Bella shook her head and explained.

"Our organization will indeed organize an army and train them, but they won't give guns to warriors below the third grade. These warriors can only buy them or make them themselves. Only when they reach the third grade will the DS' organization give you a standard weapon."

"Ah... that's why when we snuck into the tap, those soldiers didn't have uniform weapons." Payson thought, "It seems that the DS' organization isn't that rich."

"... It's also because of this that the blackhearted mechanics in the organization always set the price very high when they buy weapons in private! A pistol can give you hundreds of bottles! You know that my salary is less than 20 a day." Bella complained to everyone.

When everyone had eaten half of their food, Moorer walked out of the service station with a face full of dirt.

It had only been a few days, and Moorer's new white coat was about to turn into a black coat. Now, there were a lot of dirty oil stains and black handprints on it, and it even had a strange smell.

However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Moorer was holding a strange thing in his hand.

It was a funny-looking tank gun. It was made of a medium sized pressure tank with two steel pipes as the support. The tank gun was wrapped with all kinds of tubes, and they were tied together by Moorer with a ribbon. The two tubes were connected to a modified trigger that was attached to a bicycle brake handle, and the remaining tank was connected to the barrel-like thing in the middle of the two steel pipes.

On the right side of the gun barrel, Moorer had tied a plastic bottle to it, and he had even opened a hole to connect it to the gun barrel. The bottle was filled with 6 mm steel balls, and there were plenty of these small steel needles in the workshop.

In the eyes of Payson, this gun was a complete trash, but in the eyes of Bella and Ashes, it was a treasure.

"Haha! Look at this! My latest invention! The semi-automatic tank gun can shoot 6 mm steel balls, and its power is quite great. It can even shoot a mutated cockroach or mutated spider. Even if it hits someone, it can still injure them severely!" Moorer laughed as he held the gun.

"Wow! Good stuff! I want it! How much?" Bella was quite concerned about this thing. She had wanted a gun for a long time.

"Sorry, this is not for sale. Of course, if you want it... I can consider giving it to you based on your performance."

Bella instantly stopped.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, everyone had rested, but Meow, who was a nocturnal creature, couldn't sleep. The more it slept, the more excited it became. In the end, Moorer could no longer hold it in, so he let it go to the top of the city wall to stand guard while the others had to sleep.

How could a cat stand guard obediently? How was that possible? The Meow jumped from the top of the city wall to the roof of the car, and then jumped to the sign of the gas station. It was very uncomfortable.

At this time, a familiar smell drifted into Meow's nose. Meow sucked with all its might... Ah! It was the smell of a can of cat food!

Under the temptation of food, Meow jumped out of the city wall and ran towards the end of the smell.

At the corner of a street, Meow really saw a can of cat food that had been opened and heated up lying quietly there.

"Who put it there?" Meow thought to itself, but the smell was too tempting. It couldn't stand it anymore. It twisted its waist and arched its back, and with a "boom," it ran to the can and started to eat.

However, what it didn't expect was that just as it was eating happily, a huge black sack fell from above.
