Chapter 3282: Unt.i.tled
“In our hometown, there’s an old saying. I don’t know if you understand it or not—a man’s wealth is his own ruin.”
“The Cleansing Water Pill invented by my father is destined to change the relations.h.i.+p between the ‘alliance’ and the ‘contract’. The relations.h.i.+p between the surface and the underground, and even the entire Earth, is the most advanced strategic technology. Do you think that the ‘alliance’ and the ‘contract’ will allow the technology to fall into the hands of other people, especially the ‘demons’?
“Hehe. Water purification is the most important resource in this stinky world. Allowing the demon race to establish your own cheap water purification factories so that all the demons can drink water? That is absolutely intolerable!
“Therefore, even if you get the technology, you won’t be able to find a buyer at all. If you are ambitious enough to withdraw the technology and build your own water purification factory, you will be destroyed by the ‘allies’ and the ‘contracts’ immediately. A war between alliances and contracts is a war between human beings, but we are absolutely on the same side when it comes to dealing with the devils!
With a gloomy face, the leader narrowed his eyes at Wan Zanghai.
“Do you know who I am?”
He said gloomily.
“I don’t know, but judging from the way you slayed dozens of bandits in such a short time, you must be a big shot in the Furious Blood Wasteland.
Wanzang Hai’s expression didn’t change as he said, “However, even if you are the overlord of the Furious Blood Wasteland, right now, you have fallen into a desperate situation where you are surrounded and attacked by bandits. You are simply unable to bring out the value of the ‘new water purification technology’. You are also unable to sell it for a good price and use it to… make a comeback.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you torture me and force me to sell the technology that you don’t need?”
“Fair enough.”
The gold-tooth leader nodded. “But you said just now that you were very valuable.”
“Yes, I am very valuable. Or rather, the ‘new water purification technology’ can be very valuable in my hands.
Radiance beamed out of Wan Canghai’s eyes. He suddenly asked, “Uncle, will you escort me to the territory of the ‘alliance’?”
“Huh?”
The metal eyebrow of the leader of the Gold Teeth Brotherhood arched high. There was no telling whether it was because of the ‘uncle’ or because of Wan Zanghai’s bold proposal.
“I know that you were helping the ‘a.s.sociation’ attack the underground metropolis of the ‘Alliance’ yesterday. But the two armies were fighting for different masters. There was no personal grudge between them.
Wan Canghai said, “Judging from the situation of the battle yesterday, the ‘contract’ did not tell you all the information. I’m sure that they didn’t tell you that there is an infantry factory below New Gold Mountain. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent so many soldiers to attack the city.
“Therefore, the ‘Agreement’ has never trusted the Wasteland bandits like you. Chances are that they are hoping that the Wasteland bandits and the ‘Alliance’ will suffer heavy losses so that they can reap the benefits without doing anything!
“He was unkind in the beginning, so don’t blame him for being unkind later. As long as Uncle can safely escort me to the territory of the ‘Alliance’, with my ident.i.ty, Father’s water purification skills, and Uncle’s strength, why can’t I build a new world? Whatever the ‘Alliance’ can give you, I can give you. Whatever the ‘Alliance’ can’t give you, I can give you!”
“You?”
Boss Gold Tooth eyed the young man from head to toe and sneered.
“Believe it or not!”
Flames of ‘power’ and ‘ambitiousness’ were beaming out of Wan Canghai’s eyes. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “I may have nothing right now, but one day, I will stand at the top of the world! However, I need your help. You, Student Xiaolu, and everybody else! Uncle, please help me. I won’t let you down!”
Boss Gold Tooth pondered for a long time.
Wan Canghai had been looking at him in great expectation, trying to maintain the subtle balance between ‘determination’ and ‘pleading’.
“Alright.”
Finally, Boss Gold Tooth nodded.
Before Wan Canghai was able to rejoice, he felt a sharp pain in his ear, which had been torn off by Boss Gold Tooth.
“Ah!”
Wan Zanghai was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground. Tears were flowing out of his eyes, which were full of fear and hatred. It took him another half second to hide all the hatred and only fear.
“Scram to the side and gather all the firearms and supplies. I’ll go ask your cla.s.smate and see if you are speaking the truth.”
Boss Gold Tooth stuffed one of Wan Zanghai’s ears into his mouth and chewed happily again until his mouth was bleeding. He mumbled, “Of course, if you want to shoot me in the back, just try it. Chances are that you can kill me.”
“No. I wouldn’t dare.”
Wan Zanghai had lost too much blood. His lips were pale, and he was shaking his head hard.
Boss Gold Tooth patted the young man’s shoulder and grinned. He turned around and walked toward Bai Xiaolu.
Bai Xiaolu had heard their entire conversation just now. She did not expect that Wan Zanghai would be so bold and smart as to ‘persuade’ Boss Gold Tooth to surrender in such a desperate situation where he was certain to die.
He did not expect that Boss Gold Tooth would be so brutal as to tear off one of his ears even though he had agreed to his request!
All in all, the young man and the bandit king were venomous snakes that ate people without spitting out their bones, while he was just a harmless four-legged snake. They were simply not on the same level!
Thankfully, he still had his brother.
But his brother had been discovered by Boss Gold Tooth.
What should he do?
Bai Xiaolu only wanted to crawl under the undercarriage of the off-road vehicle and bury her head in the sand.
But even someone as weak as him understood that it was useless. “Search our nℇwnoƲel.ϴrg”He could only watch in fear as Boss Gold Tooth walked over step by step and looked down at him. The stinky, hot air was simply about to swallow him.
“Ability user?”
Boss Gold Tooth went straight to the point.
Bai Xiaolu swallowed hard and nodded.
“No, you are not.”
Boss Gold Tooth grinned. “What was that? What was it that manipulated your body to attack me just now?”
As he expected!
Bai Xiaolu’s heart suddenly sank. She managed to say, “No. No. I am an ability user. I—”
“Not you. You’re just a brat who hasn’t even played with a woman yet.”
Boss Gold Tooth stopped smiling and said coldly, “Let me see him.”
Bai Xiaolu s.h.i.+vered and tightened her clothes subconsciously. Then she realized that her movement would expose her brother and was dazed for a moment.
“So, is it on your chest or your stomach?”
The leader of the Gold Teeth Clan said, “Most of the demons have mutations more or less. Your appearance is as normal as those of the Underground Clan. Are the mutations on your stomach? Show me. Don’t make me do it myself.”
“Show it to him.”
His brother sighed. “I’m injured. I can’t ‘activate’ it again for now.”
“I’m sorry.”
Bai Xiaolu wanted to cry. “Brother, I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. You’ve done your best, my dear brother. Besides, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. At least—”
His brother paused for a moment. “I am a very good bargaining chip.”
Trembling, Bai Xiaolu took off her body armor.
Boss Gold Tooth moved and blocked Wan Zanghai’s sight.
Wan Zanghai was very obedient. He hid far away and did not look at them at all, showing his utmost ‘humble’ and ‘sincerity’.
Bai Xiaolu opened her dry stomach and opened the wrinkles below her ribs, revealing her brother’s… eyes.
His brother’s eyes were rolling, emitting weird brilliance.
“Ah, what a rare mutation.”
Boss Gold Tooth was not affected by the dim light at all. He said casually, “After the nuclear war, the odds of a deformed stillborn are much higher. Many twins who were normal in the beginning suffered too much radiation in their mother’s womb and could easily turn into so-called conjoined twins or twins. Their siblings have two heads and three to four arms, but they share one set of internal organs and two legs.
“But your situation is even more special than those ordinary conjoined twins. When you were in your mother’s womb, you probably devoured most of your brother’s flesh and blood, leaving only one of his eyes… and maybe part of his brain, too.
“His brain is living in your internal organs and relies on your circulation system and nutrition to maintain his vitality. It’s very strange that such a deformed mutation can survive to this day and even trigger a superpower. It’s very strange. Does he have his own thoughts? Can he talk?”
“Yes.”
Bai Xiaolu said in humiliation, “Brother has his own thoughts, and he is very smart. He can tell me his thoughts and let me speak for him.”
“Very good.”
The gold-tooth leader squatted down and looked at Bai Xiaolu’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Therefore, you, Bai Xiaolu’s brother, are the real ability user. Do you have anything to say?”
“Brother said—”
Bai Xiaolu said, “We can make a deal.”
“A deal…”
The leader of the Gold Tooth Gang chuckled in a low voice. “I didn’t expect that, as the leader of the Citibank Gang, I would end up in such a miserable state. Two ignorant brats want to make a deal with me within one day.
“Forget it. Let’s talk about it. The kid named ‘Thousand Treasures Sea’ made a deal with ‘new water-cleaning technology’. What about you? What are you going to make a deal with?”
“Ourself.”
Bai Xiaolu managed to say, “We are apt.i.tude users. We are the best bargaining chips in the first place. We are willing to follow Boss Gold Tooth to the death. Whatever Boss wants us to do, we will do. We just want to live.”
“Don’t say bullsh*t like ‘follow you to death’.
Boss Gold Tooth pointed at the broken bodies around him. “Those guys all swore to follow me to the death. Now, they are all dead.
Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. Speechless, she simply breathed heavily.
“However, if your ability is suitable, there is one thing that you can help me with.”
“Tell me, what kind of ability do you have?”
