Chapter 16 The Veteran's Widow
Recalling the things in my memory that can correspond to this point in time, after thinking about it, it seems that only Guyinduo Kuroshio is the only one.

It is once every three months, the day when weird eruptions hit the safe base of human beings.

Every day, whether it is the lighthouse, Zion, Tianrui Lifeng, or the Temple of the Red Moon.

There will be a weird shock, which is a catastrophe that occurs every quarter.

This tradition has lasted for several epochs and thousands of years.

The Fourth Era was once struggling to face the impact of the Kuroshio, but after the Zion Steam Revolution, this situation changed completely.

Human beings who entered the age of steam possessed muskets and cannons.

Even without the help of warlocks, ordinary humans have the capital to contend with weirdness.

So during the Kuroshio tide in recent years, as long as you stay at home that night and don't run around, you are generally fine.

The weirdness that hits the city-state will basically be resolved by the guards and night watchmen in the high wall area.

Can't rush into the city at all.

However, the full name of human beings for this event has always been the ancient Yinduo Dark Tide, or Kuroshio for short.

But the hint I gave here was the disaster of the red moon, sorry!

"Normally, things like the Kuroshio shouldn't be a problem, and the night watchmen can handle them.

But with so many reminders, and this strong feeling..."

Xu Le always felt that the so-called Red Moon Calamity might not be as simple as the black tide in the past.

No matter what, he had to be prepared.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xu Le returned to his room.

Looking at the faint lights, I slowly fell asleep.

……

The next day, Xu Le woke up very early.

After a brief wash and wash, he put on a neat suit, which was also the only set of clothes worth any money from the original owner.

Apart from being a little thin, Xu Le is still very satisfied with his appearance.

He took out Lao Zhou's medal for a look, then put it away again.

"hope everything is fine."

Walking out the door, Xu Le saw many pedestrians purchasing defense supplies, and shouts could be heard everywhere.

It can be said that the culture of stall setting has been brought into full play here.

"9 cents for a sandbag? Are you robbing?"

"Love to buy, buy, don't buy!"

"Standard retired knives, 1% of new ones cost only 5 yuan."

The purchasing power of the lighthouse currency is quite strong, so the price seems to be very low.

In addition to knives and weapons, the stall owners mainly use planks, nails, and sandbags.

The lower town is not as safe as the upper city, although the Kuroshio weirdness will basically be stopped by the night watchmen.

But from time to time there will be fish that slip through the net, and it is natural to take some protection.

Even if it wasn't for the defense against weirdness, there were a lot of gangsters and homeless people in the terrible environment of the downtown area.

Therefore, establishing some family protection can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

According to the location in memory, Xu Le came to the vicinity of No. 62 drinking water area in Xiacheng District.

Lao Zhou's home is here.

The original owner and Lao Zhou met at school.

As a retired soldier, Lao Zhou works as a security guard in the school, while Xu Le is an international student with a weird personality.

The two should have had little communication, but one day Xu Le secretly researched the taboo things of warlocks, and was accidentally broken by Lao Zhou.

After some entanglement, it is considered to be an acquaintance.

Both of them were relatively short of money, so they thought about going out to make some money.

Because the rules of the lighthouse are that anyone who goes out must keep at least two people, and if both of them come back safely.

That just needs a routine check, and if there's only one person left... that's the Nightkeeper.

Your teammate died, no one knows what you have experienced in the dark, and no one can prove whether you have been polluted by Gu Yinduo.

So once a person dies, a night stayer check must be performed.

Relying on the anecdotal knowledge Xu Le had learned, Lao Zhou was fairly capable of being a veteran.

The two hit it off and started to go out together, searching for items from the old era, remnants of ancient music, etc. to sell for money.

Before this operation, they had successfully gone out three times.

The harvest is not particularly large, but compared with the meager salary and scholarship, it is already a huge sum of money.

If it hadn't been for Gu Yinduoguo, this kind of cooperation might have continued forever

But people are like this, interests will make people cooperate.

It can also be betrayal.

"Hey!"

Sighing slightly, Xu Le restrained his expression.

The originally gentle demeanor has become a lot more serious and capable at this time.

He knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is Aunt Zhou at home?"

Xu Le didn't know Zhou Ke's wife's name, Zhou Ke was usually called by his wife, and it was impossible for him to ask these questions in detail with the character of the original owner.

The only thing I know is that his daughter's name is Zhou Tingting.

"Who is it?" Soon, a gentle and hesitant voice appeared in the room.

"Hi, my name is Xu Le, and I'm here for Mr. Zhou Ke's affairs."

Xu Le could feel that the other party had come to the door, and he was probably still watching him.

Looking around, he knew that this orphan and widow lived in the lower city, without Zhou Ke as the backbone, the risk would definitely rise in a straight line.

After a while, after confirming that Xu Le was not a gangster or a homeless man, the door was opened, and a woman in her fifties appeared in front of him.

This should be Lao Zhou's wife, a very ordinary woman, so ordinary that when you see her, you will ignore her.

"Hi, my name is Xu Le, I'm here today..."

Zhou Ke's wife suddenly stretched out her hand to stop Xu Le from continuing, and her eyes began to avert, as if she didn't dare to look at Xu Le.

She lowered her head and said nervously:
"Come in and talk."

"it is good."

After entering the house, Xu Le heard a young girl's voice.

"Mom, who is it?"

A girl who was two or three years younger than Xu Le walked out wearing a thin shirt and a pair of big slippers that didn't fit well.

Soon, Xu Le saw the girl's appearance clearly.

She has a thin body, not to mention breasts, and her arms and thighs have little flesh.

The hair dyed yellow was a bit dry, and apart from a pair of small eyes, the freckles on that face were the most impressive.

Xu Le didn't expect Zhou Ke's daughter to be full of praise.

actually……

"If you think about it, Lao Zhou is just a retired veteran who works as a security guard and lives in the outermost part of the lower city.

Such a person can give birth to a child who looks like a fairy and is well-informed.

Probably only in novels and TV shows. "

"who are you?"

"Hi, my name is Xu Le, you should be Zhou Tingting, right?"

"Yeah, what are you doing? Doesn't that old ghost owe money outside?"

Zhou Tingting's attitude and tone made Xu Le frown slightly.

Is it really a bad character, or is it a vigilant disguise?

Forget it, no matter what, Zhou Tingting and her mother are family members that Zhou Ke cares about.

"Zhou Keta..."

"You guys talk first, I'll get you a glass of water."

Old Zhou's wife stood up in a panic, rubbing her fingers together, Xu Le looked at her expression and understood.

This ordinary woman is sensitive enough, she should know about Lao Zhou's going out these few times.

She should have a premonition about the reason for her visit this time.

"Don't be so troublesome, Aunt Zhou, in fact, you should know the purpose of my visit."

When Xu Le said this, Zhou Ke's wife had already covered her mouth.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?
Hey boy, why are you bullying my mother? "

Zhou Tingting hugged her mother, and the woman in her arms also started howling after being hugged by her daughter.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tingting looked up at Xu Le as if she realized something belatedly.

"No, can't you? My dad...he?"
