Night had fallen, but Camp Nasser was unexpectedly lively. Because of today's bountiful harvest, Vanessa, who had been distributing the supplies in an orderly manner, finally agreed to lift the restrictions on alcohol and meat. Everyone could drink and eat to their heart's content. High spirits could be heard in the sky above the stronghold. Bandits were dancing drunkenly with their hands on their shoulders and hands on their backs. It was a lively scene.
However, the other main character of the show, Li Huailin, was sitting in a corner, drinking alone. This was originally a banquet for Gilbert to introduce Li Huailin to everyone. Now that everyone was drunk, they had completely forgotten about it. It had become a drinking competition.
"What's wrong, brother?" A voice came from behind Li Huailin. Li Huailin didn't turn around because he could already tell that the person was Gilbert. "Looks like you don't like banquets."
"That's not it. I'm just in a bad mood today," Li Huailin said as he took a sip of wine. He had to admit that the system was really omnipotent. This wine could really make one feel a little tipsy.
"What's wrong?" Gilbert said as he walked to Li Huailin's side. "Do you want to talk to me?"
"No …" Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back first."
"Alright, if there's anything, come find me anytime," Gilbert said with a smile.
Taking off his helmet, Li Huailin let out a heavy breath. He wasn't in the mood to play today. He looked at the time. It was exactly seven in the evening. Thinking that he hadn't had dinner yet, he decided to go out to eat and relax.
He walked out of the neighborhood alone. Just as he was thinking about where to settle his dinner, someone that Li Huailin knew happened to walk in front of him.
The person was an uncle in his mid-thirties. He wasn't tall, but he had a burly body. His face was a little square, and his looks were relatively pleasant to look at. However, he looked a little sloppy, mainly because of the short stubble on his face. His hair was also messy, as if he hadn't washed it for a few days. Although the weather was a little hot, this guy was still wearing a beige jacket with a slightly discolored shirt inside.
"Oh, Huailin?" The uncle recognized Li Huailin and walked over. "Going out? I was just about to ask you out for a drink. "
"I don't have time to drink, Officer Zhang." Li Huailin smiled bitterly. "I haven't even had dinner yet."
"There's no law that says that you can't drink at dinner time. I've studied the law. Don't lie to me." Police Officer Zhang said with a smile.
"I know you've studied law, but I also know that you've forgotten most of it. I don't believe that you've read law books after graduating from the police academy," Li Huailin said.
"Don't look down on me like that, although what you said is the truth." Officer Zhang said with a smile, "Anyway, are you going to drink?"
"Well … let's go," Li Huailin said after thinking for a while. "Where?"
"Oh?" Police Officer Zhang was stunned, then smiled. "My car is over there. Let's go."
Following Police Officer Zhang to the parking garage of the community, Li Huailin saw Police Officer Zhang's car for the first time. It was a 21XX Zhongfan 224 sedan, a model from ten years ago. It was already outdated. To be honest, it was an honor for Li Huailin to see such a car in this city.
"This isn't a police car, right?" Li Huailin got into the passenger seat and said casually.
"Of course, it's a police car." Police Officer Zhang replied while fastening his seat belt. "There's a police light under your seat on the left. If you hang it on the top, it's a police car."
"I want to say that if this broken car encounters some flying bandits, can you catch up?" Li Huailin said.
"What do you mean by broken car? This is my partner. He has been with me for ten years. I've known him longer than I've known you," said Police Officer Zhang.
"Well, ask your partner to take us to the bar. Oh, I forgot that this guy isn't equipped with automatic driving function. You still need to drive yourself, right?" Li Huailin said.
"I'll let you see the strength of my partner." Police Officer Zhang suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the whole car swung backward. After pulling back to the right position, Police Officer Zhang immediately changed gears, stepped on the accelerator again, and the car rushed forward directly.
"Your driver's license is definitely taken out through the back door. Dangerous driving like you should be banned for life." Li Huailin said with his forehead in his hand.
"You, kid, know nothing." Police Officer Zhang said with a smile.
"Well … you can do whatever you want." Li Huailin spread out his hands.
The cars on the street were basically self-driving. They drove smoothly and did not violate traffic rules. Only the car that Li Huailin sat in was rampaging, but there was no accident along the way. About ten minutes later, Police Officer Zhang's car stopped in the parking lot in front of a small bar.
"Here it is?" Li Huailin looked at the small bar in front of him. It was really small, really very small. It was a small two-story building. It was estimated that the second floor was where the boss lived. There were clothes hanging outside the window above. To be honest, it was really an eye-opener for Li Huailin to see such a small bar in this modern city.
"Let's go." Police Officer Zhang didn't say much. He stretched out his hand to let Li Huailin follow.
After entering the door, Li Huailin saw a super retro bar counter. The entire bar was as small as Li Huailin expected. The bar counter could seat about seven or eight people, and then there were five tables. The atmosphere of the entire bar was not bad. It was gloomy and somewhat romantic, but it had an old-fashioned feel to it.
There was no one in the entire bar. Of course, no one would come out to drink at this time. It was not even dinner time yet. Behind the bar counter stood an old man. He was about sixty years old. His body was thin and weak, but he was dressed very spiritedly. He was wiping a glass.
Seeing someone enter the door, the old man habitually shouted "Welcome". Then, he saw Police Officer Zhang and smiled. "It's not so early, right, Police Officer Zhang?"
"Straight (pure whiskey), plus one." Police Officer Zhang ordered smoothly.
"Do you think it's noodles?" Li Huailin couldn't help but say, "Give me Rock (whiskey with ice cubes)."
"Do you want to add one?" asked the old man.
"Damn, there's really a plus one." Li Huailin was sweating profusely. "Okay, then add one."
"Wait a moment." The old man nodded, then turned around to pour the liquor.
Police Officer Zhang took off his coat, then rolled up his sleeves and sat on the chair at the bar counter. Li Huailin also sat next to him. Since the liquor that the two of them wanted was not difficult to get, two glasses of liquor were handed over after a while.
"Come on, don't say anything. Let's drink a toast first." Police Officer Zhang raised his glass and said.
"I really admire you. You can drink like a food stall in a bar." Li Huailin smiled bitterly. He raised his glass and gently touched Police Officer Zhang's. Then, they drank it in one gulp.
"Please fill it up." Police Officer Zhang said to the old man.
"By the way, I haven't seen you for a while. How long was it? A month? "asked Li Huailin.
"Three weeks." Police Officer Zhang thought about it and said, "I dealt with some personal matters."
"I thought you guys had forgotten about me." Li Huailin smiled.
"How is this possible? We don't dare to neglect a dangerous person like you." Police Officer Zhang took a sip of the liquor.
"Are you divorced?" Li Huailin suddenly noticed Police Officer Zhang's hand. The ring on it had been taken off.
Police Officer Zhang was obviously a little depressed. His body also trembled, but he immediately recovered. "Yeah … I just finished the procedure yesterday. To be honest, I'm used to wearing the ring. Now I feel a little uncomfortable without something on my hand."
"It has something to do with me?" asked Li Huailin.
"A little. You know that I was transferred to the department. It was announced that I was fired. Maybe this made Lan Ling a little unhappy." Police Officer Zhang took a sip after he finished speaking. "She also asked for the ring back."
"Why do they always send you? Can they change it to someone else?" asked Li Huailin.
"I don't know why I'm the only one who didn't have an accident. Can I ask?"
"En … it's hard to say …" Li Huailin thought about it.
"So that's it." Police Officer Zhang smiled. "Don't keep talking about me. Why are you in such a bad mood today?"
