Chapter 3281 : Untitled
Bai Xiaolu smelled the stench that even the military boots could not block.
No. It was not stinky, but the scent of animals similar to lions and tigers. It was the vitality that could not be extinguished even if it was raining acid.
At this point, he had fought a fierce battle against the ‘alliance’, struggled in the thunderstorm for an entire day, and torn apart dozens of bandits in the desert. But the fire of life of Boss Gold Tooth did not seem to be extinguished at all. In fact, it was even more vigorous because of his hideous appearance. He was truly like a burning flag that was flapping in the sky of the desert.
“Hehe.”
Boss Gold Tooth, who was standing behind Wan Canghai, grinned at Bai Xiaolu. Except for his teeth, there was nothing but blackness all over his body, making him look like a burnt coal. The rising smoke made his teeth even sharper.
“Ah!”
Wan Canghai felt the terrifying shadow, too. The young man was quite agile. He lunged forward and tried to hide behind the boy, only to discover that he was too far away to use Bai Xiaolu as a shield. He gritted his teeth and turned around in midair, ready to open fire with the automatic rifle in his right hand and the pistol in his left.
However, in front of the most brutal dominator of the Furious Blood Wasteland, the young man’s agility and calmness were of no use.
Boss Gold Tooth took half a step forward casually and slapped Wan Zanghai away with his arms that were as long as those of a gorilla.
One of the pistols happened to land not far away from Bai Xiaolu.
“Gun.”
His brother reminded Bai Xiaolu.
“Gun!”
Wan Canghai vomited blood because of the slap and saw stars. Half of his face immediately swelled into a bluish-purple tumor, but he did not give up the hope of survival at all. He screamed at Bai Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, take the gun and kill him. You are our last hope!”
But he couldn’t help but glance around, as if he were planning to run away while Bai Xiaolu was busy with Boss Gold Tooth.
In any case, Bai Xiaolu subconsciously leaned forward and picked up the pistol.
“Huh?”
Boss Gold Tooth turned around and saw the gun in Bai Xiaolu’s hand and his arms that were shaking even more violently than before.
“Hehe.”
Boss Gold Tooth laughed again. He warmed up his chewing muscles and spat something out of his mouth onto his big, fan-like hands.
It was two teeth and half an ear.
The teeth were his own, but he didn’t know whose ears they belonged to.
The gold-tooth leader snapped his teeth and swallowed half of his ear. He chewed happily.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
He slowly warmed up the joints all over his body, while he walked toward Bai Xiaolu unhurriedly.
“Open fire! What are you waiting for!?”
Wan Zanghai screamed not far away, “Open fire!”
On the other hand, he quietly crawled under the undercarriage of an off-road vehicle.
“Open fire.”
His brother said calmly, “Little Lu, shoot. Kill Boss Gold Tooth and Wan Zanghai. There are vehicles and supplies here. We don’t need them anymore.”
“But, I, I…”
Bai Xiaolu’s face was pale, her voice shaking, and her legs shivering.
Maybe it was because Boss Gold Tooth’s brutality had awed him, or maybe it was because he remembered that Boss Gold Tooth had saved his life yesterday or the day before yesterday, or maybe it was because he was born weak. Either way, he could not do it!
Boss Gold Tooth was walking very slowly, but the distance between them was still decreasing.
“Give it to me.”
Boss Gold Tooth extended his hand to Bai Xiaolu. His voice was deep and full of irresistible power.
“Forget it. Empty my mind and don’t think about anything.”
His brother said, “Let me control your body.”
“Alright!”
This was exactly what Bai Xiaolu wanted. She immediately compressed her mind into a ball and made room for her brother’s will in her brain.
For a moment, his feet and hands stopped shaking, and his eyes turned resolute.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!
Without any hesitation, ‘Bai Xiaolu’ aimed at Boss Gold Tooth’s heart and fired five bullets, each of which hit the bullseye and made Boss Gold Tooth stagger.
“Aha!”
Not far away, Wan Canghai exclaimed in disbelief. He rolled his eyes and crawled toward the automatic rifle that he had dropped.
“Huh?”
Boss Gold Tooth was surprised, too. He lowered his head and looked at his chest.
He had been wearing armor and body armor with high-intensity ceramic inserts.
But those things were not omnipotent.
In the fierce battle against the brutal bandits just now, his armor had been broken, and his body armor had been ripped open. The ceramic inserts were broken, too. The three damages below his chest overlapped and became his fatal flaws.
The five bullets of ‘Bai Xiaolu’ hit the same spot precisely and blew up the armor, the body armor, and the ceramic inserts, forming an attack channel that could accommodate one bullet.
The fifth bullet marched forward and pierced into Boss Gold Tooth’s chest steadily through all the barriers.
Wait. “Insert?”
Bai Xiaolu focused her eyes and noticed that a silver light was blinking in front of Boss Gold Tooth’s chest. The brutal bandit had embedded metal of an unknown material right above his heart, turning it into a ‘heart-protecting mirror’.
There was no room for ‘Bai Xiaolu’ to be shocked or stunned. Her hands were as calm and steady as they had been a moment ago. She raised her hands and fired another two shots at the eyebrow of the gold-toothed leader.
But this time, Boss Gold Tooth was prepared.
The muscles and nerves on his neck, which was thicker than his head, bulged, supporting his head to shake left and right at a speed beyond the limits of human beings.
The first bullet brushed past his temple and flew away, while the second bullet hit the left side of his head—it was a pity that his head was also embedded with a lot of super alloy steel plates. The bullet only left a shallow trace on the curved steel plates before it flew off to who knows where.
Before ‘Bai Xiaolu’ opened fire again, Boss Gold Tooth’s giant hand had already covered his gun and hand.
‘Bai Xiaolu’ felt that her hand was going to break like the pistol.
“Not bad. A kid who hasn’t even played with a woman.”
Boss Gold Tooth whispered in his ear in a low voice, as if he were joking.
Bai Xiaolu made up her mind and was about to activate her ability.
However, Boss Gold Tooth was an ‘ability user’ who was even stronger than him. The two brainwaves collided in midair, and all the attacks of ‘Bai Xiaolu’ were blown back. The boy felt as if he had been hit by a falling meteorite. Then, he was blown more than ten meters away and crashed into a burning off-road vehicle.
BOOM!
The off-road vehicle exploded.
When he fell to the ground, he was foaming at the mouth. He was so disgusted and powerless that he could not even feel his toes or breathe.
The boy curled up and vomited for three minutes before he came back to himself.
“Brother?”
He cried in his heart. “What’s wrong, brother? Please don’t die, brother!”
“I—I’m fine.”
His brother’s voice was very weak, but there was more fear than weakness in it. “He found me. He found me!”
“What?”
Bai Xiaolu was at a loss as if she had been struck by lightning.
He looked at Boss Gold Tooth again. The dominator of the desert was not far away. He picked up the underground teenager with two fingers on Wan Zanghai’s nose, making the teenager scream like a pig being butchered. He stomped on the ground and shouted, “You can’t kill me. You will regret it if you kill me. I’m very valuable. You will regret it if you kill me!”
BOOM!
Boss Gold Tooth threw Wan Zanghai away and smashed him on a pile of debris. Then he strode over and grabbed the young man’s ear, which was bleeding. “Tell me, how much are you worth?”
Wan Canghai’s ears were about to be torn off. He was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground, but he held back the pain and screamed, “My father is the laboratory director of the Gold Mountain Clean Water Company. His laboratory has just developed a new water-cleaning pill. Its purification efficiency is at least three times higher than the previous pills. No matter how seriously polluted the water source is, it can be purified. Even acid rain and water that has been exposed to Level 5 radiation can significantly improve the safety of the water source. It can be used by humans to the extent that they can be drunk! Most importantly, the manufacturing process of this pill is very simple. The raw materials are very easy to find. Even the crudest workshops on the ground can be mass-produced. This is something that can change the world. Do you understand? Water is the source of life. With water, everything will exist. It can change the entire world!”
“Oh?”
Boss Gold Tooth continued tugging Wan Canghai’s ear. “Continue.”
“Dad. Dad stored all the research files, experiment logs, and formulas inside the chip.
Wan Canghai took out a memory chip with the logo of ‘Gold Mountain Clean Water Company’ from his pocket and handed it over to Boss Gold Tooth. “But I need a password to retrieve the files inside. My father is dead. I’m the only one who knows the password. My father left this for me to save my life!”
“Is that so?”
Boss Gold Tooth took over the memory chip and looked at it. “Tell me the password.”
“That’s impossible. I will die if I tell you the password.”
Wan Canghai said, “Torturing me is useless. Of course, I’m scared of pain, but I’m even more scared of death. When I’m dead, there will be nothing. I won’t be able to enjoy anything good!
“Don’t even think about cracking the password yourself. The encryption technology of the underground world is something that the demon race cannot crack by brute force. This memory chip contains anti-cracking information. If you fail, the information inside will be deleted automatically, and you will get nothing.
“Besides, don’t you see? You are all by yourself right now. The technology will be useless even if it falls into your hands. Instead, it will bring you disaster!
“Disaster?”
The gold-tooth leader touched his burnt beard, disbelief beaming out of his eyes. “What disaster?”
