For a posthuman like Lin Sanjiu, robbing money from an ordinary person was as difficult as a boxer trying to slap a baby. After all, what could be in an ordinary bank that could threaten the safety of the two of them? A gun? A taser? A surveillance camera? Or a swarm of police officers?
Unless the teller of the bank suddenly pulled out an intercontinental missile, it would be a waste of time for both of them to "scout" and "plan"...
At least, that was what Lin Sanjiu thought before she entered the bank.
She did not expect that a few posthumans would enter the bank one after another when she was halfway through the robbery and the kidnappers were being cared for by the hostages for only five minutes.
"I think..."
At this time, the two of them were squatting together. Bohemia's hot breath hit Lin Sanjiu's ear. "... You don't have any dignity as an evolved human. You're a disgrace to your mother." Lin Sanjiu was speechless.
Lin Sanjiu swallowed her anger and did not say anything.
Just now, when the two robbers were tugging at each other and almost having an internal conflict, the twenty or so hostages took the opportunity to scatter in all directions in the blink of an eye and disappeared. Now, the living room was empty. Apart from the two of them, there were only a few people who came in through the narrow door. Behind the first man, there was another man and a woman. Even though they were dressed differently, they were all posthumans.
"That's strange."
The first man was wearing an old leather jacket. It seemed like he had not washed his hair for a few days. He stopped in front of a few small counters and looked around. "According to the police report we received earlier, there were indeed two lunatics here."
He was only a few meters away from them. Bohemia did not say anything. Both of them squeezed their heads together. Both of them complained that the other was taking up too much space. In just a few breaths, Lin Sanjiu had been elbowed a few times by Bohemia.
"Let me see."
The young woman with long, straight, black hair walked around the living room. Her legs, which were wrapped in tight pants, flashed in front of the two of them a few times.
"I didn't see them." She had a deep voice. "Did they run away before we came?"
"That's impossible. There's no such record at every entrance." Old Leather Jacket's gaze stopped on a watch-like screen for a while before he sighed. "But these mental patients have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Maybe they used some method to escape."
"How about this?"
The third person spoke. Although he looked young, his eyelids were half-closed and he looked exhausted. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was hungover. The coffee in his hand did not seem to be of any help. "... Let's ask the two people in this tent and see if they saw anything."
Bohemia and Lin Sanjiu raised their heads at the same time.
Her long, straight black hair bent down, her hair falling smoothly from her shoulders. Her slightly tanned face was expressionless as she asked the two of them in a business-like tone, "Did you see a mental patient leave here just now?"
A tent with a pointed top was sitting in the middle of the living room. Two heads poked out from the middle of the tent. They had been following the posthumans around the living room for a long time. However, the posthumans just circled the tent a few times and did not look at the two of them. Now that they were suddenly asked a question, Bohemia couldn't help but let out a "goo" sound from her throat.
"We have no idea," Lin Sanjiu patted Bohemia discreetly.
Lin Sanjiu patted her on the back discreetly and forced a smile at the posthumans. "When everyone ran away just now, the mental patient might have followed the crowd out."
"If they disguise themselves as civilians, it's not impossible …" Old Leather Jacket straightened his back and muttered.
"We can't let them run around outside and disturb the civilians," Old Leather Jacket took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, "We are in this line of work, so we have to be responsible … Let's go. Let's go back and gather our men from the nearby police stations. We need to put up another arrest warrant."
"Thank you for your cooperation," Long, straight, black hair didn't forget to say to the two heads in the tent before he left, "Don't stay around here for too long. Today is a good day. If you have applied for a house, you will come out soon."
This was the second time Lin Sanjiu heard someone say "today is a good day". Under Bohemia's glare, Lin Sanjiu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay. You're welcome! It's the responsibility of a citizen … Take care. "
When they approached the entrance of the tent, Lin Sanjiu suddenly shouted, "Officer, I want to ask you something!"
"What is it?" Old Leather Jacket turned his head.
"Excuse me …" Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. She wasn't sure how she could ask the question she wanted to ask without arousing suspicion. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, "Is it … is it your dream to become a police officer? Are you happy? "
"What's wrong with you? Are you going to be their life coach?" Bohemia immediately came forward and grumbled, "If they want to leave, why don't you tell them to hurry up and leave!"
"They really don't have any tacit understanding."
Since they could teleport to the world six months before the apocalypse, surely other posthumans could do the same. However, the question was, why would these posthumans choose to be police officers here?
However, if she asked the question directly, wouldn't it expose the fact that both of them were foreigners if the answer was a well-known reason?
Judging from the expressions of the posthumans, they didn't seem to expect to encounter such a soul-piercing question when they were out to catch a psycho. "Huh?" Long, straight, straight, black hair was stunned, "I … I'm happy, right? Anyway, I'm not unhappy. "
"It's for a living. What else can we do?" The young man yawned, "Some people unknowingly become dentists and accountants … Well, that's all we can do."
Posthumans were indeed efficient and good police officers in a normal society.
However, since they were all trying to survive in this normal society, Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia's moral standards were much lower than the other posthumans. Most people knew how to find a job, but they only knew how to rob a bank. Now, they were going to be wanted, and they couldn't even work as a police officer.
Seeing that the three posthumans had disappeared into the narrow gap, Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia didn't dare to be careless. They crouched in the tent for a while before they walked out. Lin Sanjiu turned around and swiped her hand on the tent. It instantly turned into a card with the words [Temporary Residency] on it and disappeared into her palm.
Thanks to this Special Item, the three posthumans naturally assumed that they were vagrants living there. Therefore, they didn't suspect them and didn't have the intention to chase them away. Just like Bohemia said, they were neither pretty nor promising.
"Let's go," Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to waste any more time. When she saw that the posthumans outside the gap had disappeared, she quickly gestured for Bohemia to go into the narrow gap. "We can't stay here for too long," Bohemia said with a sullen face.
Bohemia said with a sullen face, "Even if we have to fight with those three, do you think we will lose? If you ask me, it's not difficult for us to take down this city! "
Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on. She did not answer Bohemia because she could feel the wall pressing against her chest and back as she passed through the narrow gap. When she was out of the gap again, Lin Sanjiu grabbed Bohemia's sleeve and said, "We robbed the bank so that we could find a more comfortable place to settle down. Only with a place to settle down can we enter the Astral Plane. Who knows what will happen if we get into a conflict with other posthumans now? Wouldn't it be a waste of time? "
"F * ck you!"
"How about this," Lin Sanjiu dragged Bohemia to the parking lot and gave her an empty promise, "After we solve the problem with Magus, you can do whatever you want."
"Then, I want to sit in the mayor's office and drink his precious red wine." Lin Sanjiu didn't know which movie she had seen this scene, but Bohemia was a little happier. She asked, "We don't have money, and we don't have the identity to register in this society. So, where are we going now? Where are we staying? What are we having for dinner? "
"It seems like we have to go back to the junkyard," Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment, "That recycling company is acting suspiciously. I don't know what they've done, but they probably don't want to deal with the police … I bet they were just trying to scare us when they said they would call the police. But they didn't call them in the end, right? After we go back, we can control that fatty and get more information about this world from him … Huh? "
"What's wrong?"
Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept back and forth along the road. The layout of the streets in this city was like a scribble. The outer edges of the buildings twisted and turned as they pleased, and from time to time, the roads were blocked by skyscrapers. Even so, Lin Sanjiu still remembered clearly that she had parked her car under this sign...
