The Salted Fish Life of a Superman

Chapter 50 Gray Street
On the other hand, after get off work, Future came home early, lying on the sofa exhausted physically and mentally, watching the autumn rain outside the window.

Meow swished to the future, and stretched out the phone screen to the future: "Let's go here for dinner today, shall we?"

"Grandma's noodle restaurant?" Looking at the down-to-earth name, Future asked strangely, "A place to eat noodles? Why do you suddenly want to eat this? I remember you didn't like noodles before."

Future remembers very clearly that Meow's eating habits are from the south, and she prefers all kinds of rice to pasta.

Meow lay on Future's chest, fiddled with her phone, and said, "I posted a post on the Internet a few days ago, asking for recommendations for our food in Xicheng. Many people recommended this place to me, saying that the noodles in this noodle shop are very delicious and special. Cheap. Aren’t you having financial difficulties recently, I’ll help you save some money.”

After hearing this, Future was almost moved to tears. This cat finally realized his conscience and knew to save him money. You know, this guy used to pick expensive places, and he almost forced him to rob a bank.

In the future, fearing that Meow will go back on his word, he quickly agrees: "Okay, okay, right here, do you know where it is?"

"I don't know, but just turn on the navigation!"

"Okay, I'll get the umbrella."

"Rush rush!"

Half an hour later, Future took Meow to stand in front of a street and asked in astonishment, "Hey, are you sure you're right? Here?"

In front of the future is a street full of violence.

There is a rusty sign beside the street, and the word "Grey Street" can be vaguely seen in the mottled rust.

On the steps on both sides of the block, there are strong men with thick backs and waists, tattoos all over their bodies, and some skinny men who look like drug addicts are picking up unscrupulous girls in scanty clothes.

The buildings on both sides are old buildings with walls falling off and covered with ivy. They should all be built before 00. Under the dark sky, they exude a simple and strange atmosphere, and they can vaguely breathe again. There was a strange smell.

Meow glanced at the navigation, and said bouncingly: "This is the place, and we will be there after a while. They said that the noodles at Grandma's Noodle House are delicious!"

As soon as Meow finished speaking, a man covered in blood suddenly ran out of an alley not far away. Because it was raining and the ground was very wet, he accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and stretched out his bloody mouth while struggling. Helping hands, crying: "Help! Help me!!!"

Before the future could react, seven or eight strong men with iron rods and wearing black elastic vests chased out from the alley, stepped on the man with one foot, swung the iron rods and beat him violently, leaving him covered in bruises Only one breath left before stopping.

The leading burly man said cursingly: "You want to run away after you owe money? Take him back and use his hands to cheer our boss up!"

The dying man was dragged into the alley, and there was a scarlet bloodstain on the ground, which was continuously smeared and spread in the rainwater, which was shocking.

At this moment, the leading burly man noticed the two uninvited guests. He stared fiercely at the future with round eyes, made a gesture of silence, motioned to the future not to talk nonsense, and then stretched out his thumb and swiped his neck to issue a death warning. .

The leading strong man followed the blood into the alley and disappeared.

The bloodstains left on the ground were still scarlet and dazzling, but the people in Huijie ignored it, or they had already gotten used to it, and they were not surprised at all that they should smoke, brag, and fight.

"Hey, the navigation said it was the alley! Let's go in too!" Meow pointed to the alley where the murder happened, and said that she was about to run into it.

(Are you kidding? I don’t want to go to that kind of ghost place.) Future’s soul was seriously hurt, and he quickly hugged Meow back: “Well, let’s change places, I. I’ll treat you to Kobe beef!”

"Oh no, you don't have any money, just eat noodles. Really, they will regret it if they don't eat!" Meow pulled the future and walked inside, eating whatever she wanted.

(No, you will regret it if you eat it.) In the future, I don’t know whether this guy, Meow, is a psycho or mentally retarded. Will normal people go in when they see this scene?And just for a bowl of noodles? ? ?
However, Meow is sometimes very stubborn, and I must do what I have decided, and eat noodles from "Grandma's Noodle Shop" for everything. If it is not raining now, the ground is wet and full of mud, and I guess in the future Meow will lie on the ground and roll. cheating.

In desperation, Future is pulled into that alley by Meow.

The alley was very dark, with only a dim street lamp more than ten meters away from the wall. There was a strange smell lingering around it, like a mixture of blood cigarettes and inferior perfume, and also mixed with the smell of rotting garbage.

Beside the alley, from time to time one or two men with gloomy expressions can be seen sitting in a damp corner, smoking a cigarette while staring at the two uninvited guests with gloomy eyes like crows. knife.

This alley belongs to a part of Gray Street. As for Gray Street, I have never been to it in the future. I only know that it is a gray area with mixed forces and extremely powerful forces.

It is far away from the urban area, and belongs to the "suburbs" of the metropolis. The security conditions are poor. Those scumbags who can't get along in the society, or some people who seek violence and excitement will come here. Thugs who were looking for a way to make money came, and these people gathered together, and over time, the current gray street was formed.

In this chaotic zone, civility and politeness are scumbags, and only money and knives work.

(I have to be careful, never talk to these people.) In the future, I keep my head down all the time, not daring to make eye contact with anyone. Who knows if these mobs will suddenly come up to rob with knives.

It's not that they can't fight, it's easy to abuse these people in the future, but if they really fight, they must use superpowers. If someone like Xiaoqi sees them and escapes, then they can't survive?
Just when Mirai bowed her head to be a human being, Meow’s mobile phone lost signal here, and she walked directly to a man sitting on the steps, and began to ask for directions: “Monk, do you know how to get to Grandma’s Noodle Restaurant?”

(Idiot, you!) Future looked over in horror. The man Meow spoke to had a bald head, wearing a black eyepatch, and several scars on his face. He was as creepy as a centipede, and his coiled muscles protruded like hills. At first glance, it was the thugs of which group.

At this time, several rats in the gutter ran past the man in a hurry, and the man stepped on one of them, and the poor rat was crushed directly.

The man stepped on the dead mouse and stood up. He grabbed a long blood-stained knife beside him. The blood on it was quite fresh. He held a cigarette in his mouth and stared straight at Meow. There was an icy glow behind the smoke screen.
