Doomsday rat

So the two hit it off, and Hong Tao reached a private agreement with Lu Wei'an with cigarettes, canned food and a small amount of weapons as rewards.Not only is he responsible for customs clearance, he also has to help find accommodation.

Everything was going smoothly, and Hong Tao was not afraid of Lu Wei'an's repentance.Although the rules on the site of the East Asian Alliance have changed, it's really not too difficult to kill people.

But the reaction of the old man driving the car made him have to re-examine the current situation.Judging from what the old man meant, he probably knew Lu Wei'an, or knew the behavior of such people. He could tell at a glance that he was going to be fooled by others, so he made a point in more subtle words.

Why not just say it directly, obviously, the driver is afraid of retaliation.This also shows that Lu Wei'an is very skilled, or that he is not alone at all, but a group of people.

Facing this encounter, Hong Tao didn't feel any anger in his heart, let alone anger, not even dissatisfaction.When he lived alone in Xinjiang Province, he would encounter similar troubles ten times out of ten whenever he wanted to join the crowd, and he had long been used to it.

Although this is the location of the headquarters of the East Asian Alliance that many refugees say is heavenly, it didn't make him feel that he was really in heaven.As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

What is Jianghu?In martial arts novels, Jianghu is like flying snow and shooting white deer in the sky, and the hero of laughing books leans on Biyuan; it is drinking the strongest wine and loving the most beautiful person; it is the great man who serves the country and the people.

In the real world, the rivers and lakes are not so literary and artistic, and have become open and secret struggles between people, and it is a battlefield where everyone wants to live and live as well as possible.There are sunny springs and white snows, but more of them are scrambling, working together, bullying the good and fearing the evil, and fighting for power and profit.

No matter how well the East Asian Union is managed, it is impossible to erase human nature in just a few years and create a utopia without bullying, exploitation, and suffering. Hong Tao is [-]% sure of this.

Chapter 608: Snakes and Rats Are Not a Nest 3

Facts have proved that he guessed right. Not only is this place not a utopia, but it is also darker, dirtier, and more full of struggles than Yining's refugee settlement.What is the specific reason is still unclear, but it must be inseparable from a problem, too many people!

The population of the refugee area outside Yining City is only a few thousand, and the biggest force is only the Redeemer. Whether it is exploitation or oppression, it is very straightforward and hard.

The refugee area in the capital is more than ten times larger. According to the introduction of the driver, this is only one of the largest. There are several others in the north of the city and Jinmen, with a total population of no less than [-].

In the face of such a large group of refugees, the East Asian Union can no longer directly manage specific things like the Redeemer. In order to reduce costs and difficulties, they can only stratify.To put it bluntly, it means subcontracting management goals and tasks step by step. If there are no side effects in this process, then it is not a human being.

"Mouse... uh... your name is a bit wicked. I've heard of people who call themselves dragons, tigers and leopards. The last time they have to get a cow or a horse, there is no one who calls themselves a mouse. It's not auspicious."

"Hey, hey... Come on, brothers, I have met our fourth brother You. From now on, everyone's safety will be taken care of by the fourth brother. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell the fourth brother. He is famous for his warm heart. Those who can help will definitely help, and those who cannot help will also point out the way.”

No, the side effect came as soon as it was said. Boss Lu didn't come back alone, and there were more than a dozen men walking crab-like steps behind him.Blocked at the door of the shack, he spoke the opening remarks in a very clichéd manner.At this time, the smile on his face was completely blooming, full of complacency, confidence and relief, except that there was no kindness.

"I've met Fourth Brother You... We brothers are newcomers, so we definitely don't understand the rules of this place, but we do know a little about the rules of life. If Fourth Brother You is not too busy, please tell me about it. This is a welcome gift. The hearts of the brothers are not respect, and when I have income in the future, I will definitely give you a bigger share!"

Hong Tao saw this group of people in the hot spot when they first entered the residential area, and immediately got out of the shack to report the situation to others.Regardless of the fact that there are only 9 of them, they are all gold diggers with their heads in their hands every day. Faced with such a situation, they have no timidity or panic at all. There is no need to tell everyone what to do and where to stand. It's all instinctive.

The only thing Hong Tao needs to do himself at this time is to come out and pretend to be a grandson, and by the way, offer two snow lotus smokes with both hands.If the other party picks it up, everyone will be happy. If you don’t mind the shabby shed, you can invite them in for two glasses of wine made from grapes.Whether or not they can become friends is something to be discussed, and there is no lack of necessary respect for local snakes.

This time I came back not intending to look for a chance to make a comeback. I just had nowhere to go. I just wanted to see if I could find Zhuma and the two children. I really didn’t want to challenge the original forces here, and I didn’t want to use too drastic methods to become famous.

"It's a generous shot... You want to listen to the rules, don't you, Biaozi, talk to them." Boss Lu took the two cigarettes and handed them to the big bald man behind him. , He threw it to his subordinates without even looking straight at him, and pouted to the side.

"If you want to stay here, you have to sign a contract with our Youlong Labor Service Company and pay a deposit at the same time. In the future, when the company will send you jobs, half of each salary will be deducted as management fees and rent. In the company's account, when the project is completed, it will be issued uniformly."

"Now move out all your salutes. Except for your belongings and bedding, everything will be kept by the company first, and you can get it from me when you need it. My name is Huang Biao, do you understand me?"

Biaozi immediately stood up, lifted his front skirt to reveal the tiger head tattooed on his stomach, and began to announce the company's articles of association with his hands on his hips.While talking, he glanced at the corners of his eyes one by one, and finally stopped on the tiger's face.

"Boss Lu, this matter seems to be different from what we said at the beginning..." No one moved, just looked at each other quietly, and Hong Tao also put away his smiling face, ignoring the staring Biaozi , turned to look at Boss Lu.

"Hehehe, don't get me wrong, the company is doing this for your sake. This place is no different than other places. There are so many people and hands that you can't keep your valuables. The fourth brother is afraid that everyone has worked hard for a long time, and it will all be cheaper for others."

Even with the support of more than a dozen strong men behind him, Boss Lu still felt a little cold at the sight.But when all the meat was brought to his mouth, he had to open his mouth, so he had no choice but to put on a shameless virtue and call the robbery a deed of charity.

While speaking, a blue lightning flashed across the sky, and as the crisp thunder exploded from far to near, the raindrops fell cracklingly, not too dense but large in size, and it was obvious that a thunderstorm was coming.

"Tsk... don't speak dark words in front of people. We brothers all have cleanliness and don't want to let outsiders touch our things. Since Brother You's rules are so strict, it's inconvenient for us to disturb you. It's just a little late , the weather is not too good, can you take shelter from the rain first, and then move tomorrow morning?"

Just as Hong Tao was about to reach out to touch his head, he lowered it halfway, letting the raindrops fall.Frowning and parting his mouth, it could barely be considered a smile, and continued to seek peaceful coexistence.Even if you take a step back, don't return the meeting gifts that have already been sent out, and if you don't recover the fee paid to Boss Lu, you will suffer a bit.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you fucking stupid, just leave as soon as you say, treat my place as a public toilet! Go and go, let them know the rules, be quick, it's fucking bad luck!"

This time it was You Sihai who spoke directly. He didn't bring an umbrella when he came out, and his bald head was wet and uncomfortable from the raindrops.When I think of the clothes I just took a bath and changed, all of them will be ruined, I feel an unknown fire in my heart.Facing these bumpkins who have just arrived, I have no patience at all. With a wave of my hand, the soft ones will be hard ones!

The thugs of the Youlong Gang were also very impatient. Even if they hadn't bathed or changed their clothes, who would be willing to stand in the shanty town and let the heavy rain pour them all over again?This place was originally a green belt on both sides of the highway, and the huts were built temporarily, and the ground was full of mud. After the rain, make sure your feet are muddy, and a quick solution is the right way.

Put down this group of native hats who just arrived, take valuable things and leave quickly.If the harvest is enough, the fourth brother will give some rewards if he is happy, and maybe he can go to the massage parlor on the Great Ocean Road to find a girl to have a good time at night.

"Puff...Puff...tom tom..." But before they charged up with their sticks up, two flames suddenly flashed on the opposite side, accompanied by a slight muffled sound.Then some people seemed to be under magic, and they fell down immediately after a pause.

"Damn...they have..."

If it were placed in the old world, not many people would immediately realize what was going on, but in the new world, people are no strangers to guns, and immediately some people understand that this group not only has guns, but also fights if they disagree with each other.What to do, no way, draw a gun and do it with them.Although it has been a long time since I have encountered such a hard stubble, it is not too unfamiliar.

"Bang... bang... Carrara..." But the ancients said it well, one step at a time.As soon as You Sihai's scolding came out, and before he touched the handle of the gun, flames flashed again in the ruins a hundred meters away.This time the noise was a bit louder, and the flames were brighter.

At the same time, You Sihai's chest also blossomed, and he was knocked upside down by a strong force, and fell on his back to the ground that had just been wet, motionless.

Coincidentally, a flash of lightning happened to flash across the sky, and the raindrops became denser, followed by a series of thunderclaps, covering up all the noise in the depths of the shanty town.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind also joined in the fun, chasing the rain and washing everything on the ground over and over again, including people standing and lying down.Before the bright red blood had time to seep into the ground, it was diluted into a light pink color, converging into a stream of water, and quickly rushed to the distant depression.

The gun battle only lasted about ten seconds. Under the quick bursts of three pistols and one automatic rifle, You Sihai and the fourteen strong men under him were allotted at least one bullet each, and they didn't even have a chance to draw their guns to resist. Without any, they turned into corpses all over the place.

Chapter 609 Bloody Night

Compared with the gold diggers who fight zombies and rivals every day, these gangsters who have been in the refugee area all the year round are a bit shameless. Except for Hong Tao, tiger, pony and stupid pig, the rest of them didn't open their hands at all. The gun, just ran away, ready to block the direction of possible escape, and the battle was over.

Oh no, the pony was riding on Boss Lu's waist with a knife against his neck.Even though he looks very ordinary, he doesn't usually talk much, but killing people with a knife is extremely neat.

This guy is a Muslim, and his ancestors have made a living selling beef and mutton for generations.Before the outbreak of the zombie disease, he opened a small butcher shop in the suburbs near Beer City, and he was very skilled at slaughtering and cooking meat.

After becoming a gold digger, he used this technique to kill people again. He could stab any internal organs through his clothes, and he could even precisely control whether bleeding, how much, whether it was a jet or a slow flow. .

When crossing the Gobi Desert on the Sino-Mongolian border, you will encounter groups of camels. As long as those beasts are approached by him, they will immediately lie down and surrender. They are very obedient.Hu Yang said that he has a murderous aura on his body. People can't feel it, but animals can detect it. It's either obedient or paralyzed by fright, just like a sheep seeing a wolf.

"Shushushu..." Boss Lu was more powerful than the average person. He actually felt the murderous aura on Xiaoma's body.

"Don't be too close, I don't have a nephew like you. Tiger, you deal with it outside. Pony, get him in!" The heavy rain has turned the world into a gray one, and Hong Tao has been drenched.This saves me the need to find water to wash my face, so I just put my head up in the rain and wiped it a few times.

"...You can't be pulling it, are you?" There was nothing in the hut except a rough bunk built with a few planks of wood. In order not to wet the sleeping place tonight, Hong Tao could only squat on the ground.When Xiao Ma pulled the limp Boss Lu in, he sniffled involuntarily, the smell was not right!

"Brother Mouse... Grandpa Mouse... Spare me, spare me... I still have children at home, so just let me go as a fart..." Boss Lu could no longer care about the stickiness in his crotch. If he didn't work hard, he crawled forward with his elbows, kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying.

"There is no 80-year-old mother?" Hong Tao wanted to change clothes, but thought that he might have to run for a while and gave up.

"Really, I have a child, just four years old... I live not far from the east. I, I have some savings, I will give it to you..." Seeing that he was not shot and knifed right away, Boss Lu seemed to have regained his strength, and reluctantly knelt down. He got up, but did not dare to stop kowtowing.

"Do you think I look like a burglar? Sit down and answer a few questions for me. To be honest, you might be able to save your life. Do you want to work hard for it?" It was not agreed in advance to keep a job alive, but everyone struggled together. After being born and dying for half a year, they already had a tacit understanding, and they didn't think about whether to kill Hong Tao or not.

"Think about it, you ask, as long as I know one word, I don't dare to speak nonsense!" The mental effect is still very strong, once he heard that he might not die, even if there is no guarantee, Boss Lu stopped stuttering immediately.

"I killed so many people, what will happen?"

"... You Zhongning will definitely investigate. Just ask You Sihai where he went tonight and we can't hide it. Lord Shu, Lord Shu, I promise not to tell. I will immediately take the child to Beicheng and never come back again... ...Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Boss Lu answered the first question very happily, but then he kowtowed and begged for mercy again, and even sobbed.Obviously, he also knew that he was the most direct witness. If he wanted to destroy the corpse, he should be the first to be killed.

"Little Ma, if he cries again, stab him in the waist, don't insert too deep, let him die of pain slowly!" Hong Tao hates women crying the most, and hates men crying even more. If there is something to talk about, if tears can save lives , My eyes were already blind from crying.

"No, no, no... I have a solution! I know the boss of the labor service company in the north of the city. With the skills of the big brothers, I will definitely be able to get a job. You Zhongning can't find it there either!"

Looking back at the expressionless pony, and then at the unusually sharp knife, Boss Lu couldn't help but cover his waist and eyes, but immediately realized the crux of the problem, gritted his teeth and began to help find a way to deal with the funeral.

"You Zhongning is You Sihai's father?" Hong Tao didn't have much interest in this suggestion. If he wanted to suck blood from the Kuhahas, why would he have to travel so far, both in Beer City and Yining had plenty of opportunities.Yoro is Yoro, and he can't slap himself in the face.

"Oh yes, I forgot, I forgot, You Zhongning is the boss of Youlong Gang and the general manager of Youlong Labor Service Company. You Sihai calls him cousin, and his accent should be from a place. I really don't know where it is. ..."

"Tell me about the situation of this company, and the rules here...not your rules, but the rules set by the alliance!"

If you don't want to run away, you have to solve the problem. Now that You Sihai and his subordinates have been taken care of, there should be no more trouble in a short time.Hong Tao wants to have a general understanding of the specific management model of the East Asian Union, and see if there are any loopholes to exploit.

Half an hour later, the rain subsided, and the body had already been dragged to the ruins to the west and buried hastily. Hong Tao led his people out of the shed together with Boss Lu, and rode the bicycles and tricycles left behind by the group of people from all over the world across the highway. The road entered the more lighted settlement to the east.

According to Lu Wei'an's confession, killing people in the refugee area established by the East Asian Alliance is quite troublesome.If caught on the spot by security teams wearing black clothes and red hoops, unless they can prove it was self-defense, they would all be thrown into mines or oil wells for hard labor. So far, no one has come back alive.

If he ran away at that time, but was reported later, the security team would post a reward notice to find someone.This thing is not only posted in one place, as long as it belongs to the plenum of the alliance control area.

In other words, whoever is on the reward warrant will not only be unable to stay in the refugee areas of Beijing and Jinmen, but also the refugee areas of Chang'an and the three northeastern provinces. If recognized, they will also be arrested. catch.

Then Hong Tao and the others can only leave their hometown as soon as no one finds out, and go south to join the Southeast Alliance across the Yangtze River?Not quite.The East Asian Alliance's management of the refugee area is not yet perfect. As long as no one reports or no evidence is found, the judge cannot convict, and the security team will naturally be unable to arrest people.

In fact, there are more or less lives in the hands of various black forces entrenched in the refugee area, but there is no evidence that cannot be arrested, and the court cannot judge, most of them are all trivial.At present, Hong Tao and the others are at a fork in the road where someone reports and will be taken away by the security team for questioning, and no one reports.

According to Lu Wei'an's judgment, You Sihai's cousin, You Zhongning, has a good relationship with the security team in the refugee area. If he knew that his cousin went to the new area to unload the goods, but no one was alive or dead, he would definitely ask the security team to arrest them.

Don't even think about enforcing the law impartially, it is very common to use some means.Of course, if he really didn't break the law and it wouldn't be too much, he still has to be released.But Lu Wei'an believes that even if he doesn't say anything, there are so many refugees living in the shanty town, 100% cannot withstand the interrogation by You Zhongning's men and the security team.

Once there are too many testimonies, the security team can focus on interrogation, and even use more powerful methods.At that time, as long as there is one person who does not resist, this matter will eventually be exposed.

Could it be that there is no help?No, what is a local snake? Lu Wei'an is considered a small snake.In order to save his own life, he gave Hong Tao a once-and-for-all ruthless trick, killing You Zhongning together, so that there would be no plaintiff, and naturally there would be no investigation by the security team.

The reasoning is correct, but Hong Tao still has a question. Could it be that the sudden disappearance of more than a dozen people is not ordinary refugees who are unknown to the public, but the owner and staff of Youlong Labor Service Company, who is one of the largest in the largest refugee area. No one will ask?

"There is an unspoken rule in the refugee area. Joining a labor service company is tantamount to losing your status, and you can be regarded as a black household." Boss Lu replied in this way.

Chapter 610 Windfall

"Prick his kidney!" Hong Tao pouted at the pony.

"It's true, the alliance doesn't want to see someone bullying the market in the refugee area, and can't find a suitable way to manage it. If all the labor companies are cleaned up, the population here will be reduced by one-third. Especially the young and middle-aged Most of the refugees are cheated from the west and south, just like..."

Before Xiao Ma's knife was taken out, Lu Wei'an seemed to have been stabbed. He covered his waist with one hand and bowed to Hong Tao with the other, telling all the details in a hurry.

In fact, it is not intentional to hide it, saying that half of it is his occupational disease, and most of the time there is no need to explain the latter part, such as when he and Hong Tao introduced him to the East Asian Union as a laborer.

"There were beatings and killings every day, so the population here is decreasing faster!" Hong Tao still doesn't quite believe this explanation, there are major logical loopholes and it's unreasonable.

"...Except for you this time, Lord Shu, at most a dozen deaths occur every year because of the vendettas due to the turf war... Don't worry, as long as it is a battle between companies, everyone here will treat it as if they didn't see it, including those who wear A black dog with a red hoop!"

"Oh, it's the security team. They don't care who runs the company, as long as no one pushes the refugees to survive. In fact, although the refugees here are also bullied and exploited, they are still much better than other places. .”

Lu Wei'an has been secretly pinching his thigh during this time, trying to find evidence of dreaming.He has seen ruthless people, and he has seen people who can beat them, but he has never seen this kind of person who kills more than a dozen people in a single disagreement, without changing his face and heartbeat, and immediately plans to kill more people... ...I don't even know how to describe him.

It's a pity that my thigh is almost pinched, and I can feel the pain every time.There seems to be a famous saying, life is like that, if you can't resist, try to enjoy it.He was trying to let himself enjoy it right now, desperately trying to find a little comfort from his fear.For example, serve this group of people comfortably and save their lives by luck.

Bloody night!After Hong Tao roughly figured out the official rules and unspoken rules here, he got into the two-story building in the rain without delay.

The last tiger to go in reached out and took off the signboard hanging at the door, and stuck it on the doorknob as a bolt. Then he took out his pistol and retreated into the corner beside him, staring at the stairs.

"Help...help...killer..." A moment later, heavy objects fell to the ground and people shouted suddenly from the first and second floors.A half-stretched man whose body was soaked in blood rushed down from upstairs in three steps, shouting as he ran, his voice hoarse.

"Puff...dang lang lang... bang!"

As soon as he was about to run to the door of the building, two muffled sounds suddenly sounded from the side and rear, followed by the crisp sound of metal colliding with the ground.The man bumped his head against the signboard, and his body collapsed to the ground.A stream of blood spurted from his chest, dyeing the words Youlong Labor Service Company red.

Eleven people died and all stopped breathing within a few minutes, but no one cared what happened, even if a few people who were driving in the rain saw figures shaking and flashing fire in the room, it seemed that someone was using heat Fighting with weapons, they all turned their heads away after seeing the building clearly, and never took a second look.

"He, he is You Zhongning...he is an accountant...he is the third in command of the company, mainly in charge of logistics..."

Lu Wei'an was the first to rush into the room on the second floor with Brother Shu, or he was pushed in front as a shield.Fortunately, it happened so suddenly that the three people in the room were knocked down by the bullets fired by the two pistols before they could react.

Then start identifying the targets one by one, and every time a face is recognized, a bullet will go into that head.When he went downstairs to continue the identification, he had already emptied his stomach and was spitting bitter bile.

After counting the corpses and confirming that no important person from Youlong Company slipped through the net, Hong Tao was not in a hurry to leave, and still let the tiger watch the movement outside at the door, and the others began to count the trophies.He himself dragged Lu Wei'an back to the large office on the second floor with a full set of hardwood furniture and rummaged around.

As expected of the old den of the company's top leader, there are indeed many good things in the room, such as the mechanical watch and alarm clock on the bedside table in the back room, and a pistol in the drawer of the cabinet.

Another example is the small safe under the executive desk. The door is not only locked with the key inserted.In addition to a stack of account books, two pistols, and most of the boxes of ammunition, there are also many heavy paper rolls and a small stack of banknotes.

They were all bright red hundred-yuan bills, which should be several thousand, but Hong Tao turned them over and looked at them for a long time, with a very puzzled expression on his face.The printing of the banknotes is fine, and the paper is fine, but only one side is printed, and the other side has no pattern except a few lines!

"What's this?" Obviously, these banknotes are semi-finished products or defective products. Could it be that General Manager You still has a hobby of collecting wrong coins?

"Uh...it's money, the currency issued by the alliance, the denomination is the same as that of the old world." Even though the three corpses in the room had been dragged out and gathered on the first floor, Lu Wei'an saw blood, broken bones and soft tissues on the ground as before. My legs were weak and my throat was itchy, so I had to suppress the feeling of vomiting and try not to look at it.

"Huh la la...these too?" Hong Tao picked up another paper roll, opened it with both hands, and dropped out a few one-yuan steel coins from the old world.Like those semi-finished banknotes, steel coins are also semi-finished.It's just that this time it's even more extreme. Except for the knurling on the edges, there are no patterns on the front and back. It's a white board.

"Yes, this is one yuan... This one is fifty cents... You've made a fortune!" Lu Wei'an licked his lips, and the nausea in his stomach seemed to have eased a lot since he saw this pile of banknotes and steel coins.

He simply picked up a paper roll and broke it open, poured out the copper-colored steel inside and held it in the palm of his hand to continue the introduction.Not to mention, the heavy hand feel and the unique crashing sound made him completely forget his fear and discomfort, and he even grinned a little.

"It's so calculating, I'm too lazy to even issue coins..." Hong Tao was also laughing, he probably understood where these semi-finished coins came from.There is a mint at the Grand View Garden, which is heavily guarded on weekdays, but with the outbreak of the zombie disease, it must not be alone.

The East Asian Union thought of that place when it needed to issue currency, and it was indeed a good idea.No matter what thing is used instead, it is not as easy to use as the officially issued coins.

Except for the printing machinery, the ink and paper are all unique. At least at this stage, no one can imitate it, which perfectly satisfies the uniqueness of currency.

What is even more amazing is these semi-finished coins. If the finished products are used directly, the small economic environment of the East Asian Union will collapse in a short time. There are banknotes issued by the old world all over the country. There are too many banknotes to eliminate them. circulation.

But semi-finished products are different. Even if there is a banknote factory in Shanghai, it is difficult to find semi-finished products with the same degree of completion.There is no need for a banknote detector to tell if it is true or false, and it can be distinguished at a glance.

"How much reward can you get for tricking a refugee back?" Since it's money, then Hong Tao can't be exempt, let's pretend.However, the purchasing power of this money is definitely different from that in the old world. It will take time to fully understand it, but now you only need to ask a question to draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

"Master Shu... please forgive me..." Lu Wei'an, who was immersed in the comfort of being full of money, heard this question, and his legs that had just stood up straight began to bend again.

"Congratulations, you can survive for the time being, but it's best not to call me Lord, and don't cry when you see me. Come on, this is the reward for leading the way today, don't say no, only the dead are eligible for the things I give away Refuse!" As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts, Hong Tao took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over, staring at him with triangular eyes.

"I, I can get four dollars..." Lu Wei'an took the hundred-yuan bill with trembling hands, holding it in his palm like an imperial decree.

"What! I'm only worth four yuan!" Hong Tao, who had just retracted his triangular eyes and smiled a little, suddenly raised his eyebrows, bared his big white teeth, and leaned over, as if he wanted to bite someone.
