Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 21 Tracking
Lu Meng's previous fighting style was based on actual combat level. The use of weapons was actually without rules and was purely based on feeling and talent.

If Lu Meng was a martial arts and combat enthusiast in his previous life, then the training experience would be universal and he could quickly improve his melee skills.

If you want to train the [Machete] skill in daily life, it is nothing more than chopping firewood or chopping meat.However, there are only unstructured air swings, and the efficiency of gaining proficiency is too slow. How long will it take to master the "Wood Chopper Technique" or "Pig-Killing Knife"?

As for martial arts schools, let alone the hub, even if there is one, the masters and apprentices in this world still have a deep personal dependence.In other words, the apprentice is the thugs and servants raised by the master.

For Lu Meng, it was neither interesting nor necessary.

Now I can only try my luck on the black market to see if I can get the "inheritance" of a sword technique - in fact, it is various forms of teaching strategies.

It would be better if it is a video tutorial.

Lu Meng's thoughts were wandering randomly, but the real plan became clearer in his mind.

……

black market.

"Brother Beiyou, the goods are a little short today." An old customer accepted two rats and rabbits.

Lu Meng coughed and sighed casually: "I missed it in the past two days."

It seems that the little hunter is in poor health.

Someone from the side suddenly said: "Lao Zhang's stall is also open, and there are a lot of wild goods."

This is about the old hunter Zhang Ying, who recently appeared on the black market again.

"Not only are there rats and rabbits, but when I saw them, there were also several wild roe deer. I don't know if they have been sold out." A resident who had just returned from Zhang Ying's butcher shop passed by.

Lu Meng smiled and said: "Senior Zhang is still rich in experience, and this young man like me cannot compare."

——Just for hunting.

Seeing that Lu Beiyou had a calm mind and an unchanged expression, the troublemakers knew that they had failed to persuade him, so they dispersed.

However, there were still a few residents who originally wanted to buy meat. When they heard that there were wild roe deer in Zhang Ying's shop, they apologized to Lu Meng and rushed over.

This is a rare prey.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Meng's stall was already deserted.

Lu Meng didn't care. Originally, he only brought about twenty kilograms of dried meat this time. Compared with the fresh goods brought by Zhang Ying, it was normal for the sales to be slower.

Fortunately, as long as it is meat, there is no need to worry about sales.

Two hours later, Lu Meng closed the stall as usual.

He left in a leisurely manner and said hello to "Tie Bang" Tang as usual when passing by the black market gate.

Tang closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if he didn't hear it.

Lu Meng didn't feel offended either.

People can ignore you, but you can't not say hello. This is also an unwritten rule in the black market.

After leaving today, Lu Meng did not rush as usual, but chose to lower his body and enter the [stealth] state.

In the early stage when the stealth skill level is not high, the speed of stealth action is much lower than normal action, so sometimes it is better to use normal state when rushing. Saving time means safer.

There was no one around in the ruins.

[Life Skills: Stealth 13→14 (Basic)]

When upgrading stealth skills, the proficiency accumulated over many months is normal.

What was abnormal was that even though he was in stealth mode, the hairs on Lu Meng's neck still stood up slightly, and he just felt like a light on his back.

You can feel that the other party is carefully adjusting his pace, trying to be consistent with his own, so as to cover up the sound of footsteps.

It's a pity that the subtle differences cannot be hidden from Lu Meng's perception.

He sighed, feeling relaxed.

After being in the black market for so long, what was supposed to come finally came.

This is why he didn't bring Huo Buyang to the stall today.

Lu Meng has his own methodology on how to determine when someone will attack him.

He randomly selected a few customers in the black market, and every time he came to the black market, he tried his best to observe what they bought, where they lived, what disguises they wore, and then evaluated their net worth...

In short, it is to enter the mind of a robber.

When Lu Meng had completed all the preliminary preparations, it was time to pick a target to start with——

But he didn't really do anything to rob Dao.What's more, Lu Meng is not a professional. Those who were observed by him actually discovered his "unholy intentions" without deliberately hiding it.

They were all terrified.

"..."

Lu Meng silently apologized in his heart.

But in this way, he can think from the perspective of a robber and know the approximate time required to complete the process of "selecting a target, observing the target, and finally deciding to take action."

Lu Meng has an effective 3x experience module, and his memory and understanding are stronger than ordinary people.

The process time he concluded is definitely shorter than that of ordinary people, so he can make sufficient preparations in advance.

As for those robbers who act recklessly without careful planning, they may indeed act at any time.

But why is Lu Meng afraid of such a miscellaneous fish?
Only this time, unlike when he was being followed by Song Chai, Lu Meng did not try to warn him to calm him down. Instead, he acted as if he was unknown. Regardless of the fact that his whereabouts had been exposed, he continued to carefully conceal his figure and shuttled through the paths of the ruins.

After a while, the skill upgrade prompt came again.

[Life Skills: Stealth 14→15 (Basic)]

——Under the gaze of hostile eyes, the acquisition of stealth proficiency will be doubled.

……

On the slightly gray path, there were three people standing far behind Lu Meng.

They carefully adjusted their steps, trying to make the landing of each step coincide with the person they were following, so as to reduce the noise.

Obviously these three people are very successful, which also proves their extraordinary strength.

But now the picture in their eyes is extremely strange.

They saw this young man wearing a cane hat and a coat lowering his body and pacing forward, hiding in a broken wall and holding his breath to observe...

Like a scout on the battlefield.

What's even more outrageous is that now this young man is lying on the ground and crawling forward.

The action is extremely standard.

Is this how you usually go home?
The young man's operation dazzled the group of people. In order not to be discovered, they could only keep adjusting their pace and were extremely busy for a while.

At this time, the youngest man was very excited and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, how long will we follow?"

The leading man, with a stubble on his face, came to his senses when he heard the third brother's question. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, we can't wait any longer, let's do it!"

His name is Xing Xuemu, a resident of Wanyan Street.

He couldn't take it either.

Although the three brothers are not members of a gang, they have been brave and fierce since they were young. In addition, the brothers work together to help each other, so even the small local gang in Wanyan Street does not dare to offend them too much.

He usually does some small business on the black market, and he is quite famous - or infamous.

Because they prefer to make some "extra money" outside the black market.

Otherwise, how can we live a nourishing life and eat so well that our bodies are so strong?

"Lubeiyou" is the target they are targeting this time.

As the only meat seller in the black market, it goes without saying how big a fat sheep he is.

Zhang Ying is an old hunter in the black market. Even if he doesn't deliberately run the business, there are still many favors involved behind him, so it is not suitable for him to start.

Lu Beiyou was a newcomer who had just arrived. Although he killed old Lei Liwei when he first came to the black market, he himself was a bastard who had been drained by alcohol and sex. This incident at best shows that Lu Beiyou is "ruthless". , if he dares to say kill, he will kill, but it doesn't explain how "strong" he is.

A person like Lao Lei can be dealt with by just one of the three Xing brothers.

The information had been explored for a long time, and they analyzed it from "Tie Bang" Tang's unconscious comment in private: Lu Beiyou is weak and depleted of Qi and blood, making it difficult for him to become a warrior, and he cannot be a great weapon.

The only thing he needed to worry about was the knife in his hand, which was already considered a sharp weapon among ordinary residents.

For this reason, Xing Xuemu specially borrowed a [One-Handed and Ten-Handed] from a good brother in the gang, specifically used to block the blade.

The ten hands are shaped like iron rods, but have handles and hooks for blocking and disarming weapons.

Even if one person alone cannot guarantee that Lu Beiyou will be subdued, three people working together will be enough to kill him.
