“What?”

Bai Xiaolu found it hard to believe.

It was not because he could not believe that there was such a thing as cannibalism in the world, but because he could not believe that the Underground Clan could eat humans, too.

“Of course, they will eat people, and they will eat more elegantly and cleverly than the devils in Tombstone Town such as ‘Butchers’ and ‘Master Snake’.

His brother sneered, “If they were not better at eating human beings than we are, how could they enjoy themselves in the underground shelters while we have to suffer under the scorching sun, radiation, and the threat of mutated beasts?

Bai Xiaolu was silent. She looked at Wan Zanghai, who was walking in the front with his shoulders bouncing up and down, and felt that he was more like a lizard than ever.

“However, this is good.

His brother replied unhurriedly, “He treats us as ‘lice’ and ‘sheep’, and so do we. He can share half of our weight. If necessary, we can even kill him and cut his flesh, which will significantly increase our odds of survival. Therefore, we are not in a hurry to take action.”

“We—”

Bai Xiaolu was confused. “Do they eat people, too?”

“When necessary, of course.”

The elder brother said, “This is a world of cannibalism. Don’t you want to return to the village alive to save your sister and the children in the village?”

Although his sister and the children in the village were ugly, their young faces appeared in Bai Xiaolu’s mind.

He regained his strength and staggered between the desert with the heavy bag.

The boy and the young man walked toward what they thought was the west for a day and a night.

During the time, Wan Canghai had tried to talk to Bai Xiaolu multiple times, asking her about his family and his life in the ‘New Gold Mountain’. However, Bai Xiaolu had asked him to leave.

Wan Zanghai did not seem to be suspicious. Or rather, for the ‘lice’ and ‘sheep’ in his eyes, their real identities did not matter at all, as long as they could carry and eat. After all, the guns and the bullets were in Wan Zanghai’s hands, and he had everything under control.

Maybe because he was in a good mood, Wan Zanghai talked a lot about his family and his school, which gave Bai Xiaolu a better understanding of the ‘New Gold Mountain’. Of course, Bai Xiaolu had never heard most of what Wan Zanghai said. She was dumbfounded and thought that it was the life of a deity.

After one day and one night, their physical strength had reached the limit, and they were on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Although he was replenishing his food and water, he still felt that he was about to collapse. Faced with the boundless desert, he was more desperate than ever.

“Damn it. We must’ve gone the wrong way.”

Wan Canghai mumbled, “If this is really the west, we’ve been walking for a day and a night, and we should’ve seen the unmanned automated sentry posts and the ‘watch cannons’ of the Alliance no matter what. But right now, there is nothing. Nothing!”

It was impossible to determine the direction by the sun.

Bloody brilliance was spreading out on the edge of the lead clouds in all directions. Silver city remains could even be seen floating in the clouds.

It was a mirage, a very common phenomenon in the Furious Blood Wasteland.

Maybe, a day ago, they were misled by the mirage and went in the opposite direction, which was the uninhabited area in the north of the desert.

The way Wan Canghai looked at Bai Xiaolu was getting weirder and weirder.

He was estimating the most precise ‘input-out ratio’ between the consumption of water and food and the amount of supplies that Bai Xiaolu could carry. He was calculating when he should kill Bai Xiaolu and cut off her flesh.

His brother was also prepared. He was ready to launch a small attack at the cerebrovascular vessels of Wan Zanghai.

But right then, the boy and the young man heard rumbling noises behind the sand dunes ahead of them.

“Someone’s here?”

Wan Canghai hurried to drag Bai Xiaolu to the ground and gestured for him to hide. “Ha. It’s the sound of an engine and a car!”

In the boundless Wasteland, vehicles and gasoline were even more precious than life and blood.

It was impossible to walk dozens of kilometers on foot in one day, but everything would be different with a car.

“We have to get a car.”

Wan Canghai’s eyes were immediately bloodshot. He shushed Bai Xiaolu and gestured for her to climb the sand dune with him.

In the desert ahead, a fierce battle was taking place.

More than ten motorcycles that were embedded with sharp thorns and three off-road vehicles that had been welded with bulletproof plates circled around and attacked only one target.

The motorbikes and the off-road vehicles were all decorated in the style of the devil race. Naturally, the passengers on the vehicles were not regular soldiers, but bandits who were wearing armor made of scorpion shells and covered in feathers.

Bai Xiaolu almost screamed when she saw who the bandits were attacking.

Boss Gold Tooth!

He was not dead yet, but he had become more dangerous than before like a wounded wild boar.

Although he was surrounded by dozens of enemies, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all. It seemed that he had surrounded so many bandits all by himself.

He was still wearing the plasma gloves on his right arm, but he was wearing a small fire launcher on his left arm. Lightning and flames interweaved and formed an absolute zone of destruction in the ten square meters nearby. None of the bandits could resist him for even one second.

However, weren’t the bandits Boss Gold Tooth’s subordinates? Why were they attacking each other in this place?

“Of course.”

The elder brother said coldly, “The guys who are wearing armor made of scorpion shells with colorful feathers on them are not the ‘Citi Gang’, but other gangs in the Furious Blood Wasteland. They are only following Boss Gold Tooth’s command because they are coveting the wealth of the ‘New Gold Mountain’.

“But Boss Gold Tooth’s intelligence was wrong. He didn’t expect that there would be a magnetic explosion infantry factory in ‘New Gold Mountain’. All the gangs suffered heavy casualties because of it. The city must’ve collapsed before it was conquered. More than half of their assets were lost for nothing. How could they not seek revenge from Boss Gold Tooth?

“Even if it was not for revenge, hehe, the ‘Citi Gang’ should have suffered the most losses in this battle. Even Boss Gold Tooth has become a lone wolf. This is a great opportunity for the major gangs to exterminate him and replace him. It is rare for such a strong man like Boss Gold Tooth to be in such dire straits. Let him catch his breath for a year and a half, maybe he will rise again… So, of course, we must take this opportunity to eliminate him!”

Looking at Boss Gold Tooth’s current state, Bai Xiaolu thought back to the day before, when he was riding on the armored tank, waving the Citigroup, and shouting the battle hymn in high spirits. She felt quite upset.

Of course, he did not have a good impression of Boss Gold Tooth.

But it was also a fact that the enemy had saved his life.

Anyone who saw the scene of a tiger being bullied by a dog would have mixed feelings. It had nothing to do with whether the tiger was good or bad.

No matter how much he sighed and how anxious Wan Canghai was, there was no way that the two of them could change the outcome of the fierce battle.

One in each hand, the leader of the Gold Teeth Brotherhood tore apart almost ten armed vehicles together with his motorbike.

He had been hit by dozens of bullets, too. Several of his bones would’ve been broken even if he was wearing a body armor.

“Asshole!”

Wan Zanghai gnashed his teeth. “Don’t destroy the motorbikes and the off-road vehicles. Go to hell, you bastard! Go to hell now!”

It was a pity that Boss Gold Tooth was so tenacious that he was like a weed that had grown out of poisonous soil and was contaminated by radiation.

It was not until he broke the neck of the last bandit that he stood straight for half a minute.

The desert was suddenly restored to silence. There was only the eternal, howling wind.

The crimson sand quickly covered the bodies and gradually melded with the dried blood.

The motorbikes and the off-road vehicles had all turned into scrap metal or even burning fireballs. There was no telling whether or not they were still functional.

Wan Canghai and Bai Xiaolu looked at each other and waited for another ten minutes.

Wan Zanghai rolled his eyes and asked, “Do you know how to drive?”

Her brother did, but Bai Xiaolu shook her head. “No.”

“Is that so…”

Wan Canghai was still smiling. He pointed his chin forward and said, “Go down and check whether or not the devils are dead. Also, check whether or not any of the vehicles are still intact. Remember, don’t touch the gun. If you do, the gun might misfire.”

He did not say who the ‘fire’ would be, but Bai Xiaolu knew what he meant.

“Me?”

Bai Xiaolu asked, “Am I alone?”

“How can it be one person? We are a team. Of course, two people should be united and fight side by side.”

Wan Canghai waved the gun in his hand and pointed it at Bai Xiaolu. “It’s just that our jobs are different. You will be responsible for the charge, and I will be responsible for covering you from behind. If any demon is still alive, I will immediately blow off his head the moment he sits up. He will never have the chance to hurt you. Just go. Go now!”

Wan Zanghai’s eyes turned sharp again.

Bai Xiaolu could only brace herself and walk down the slope. She approached the dead bodies of the bandits in fear.

He didn’t know why, but he wasn’t scared of other dead bodies, no matter how horrifying they were. The only thing he didn’t dare to get close to was Boss Gold Tooth’s body… Leader Citigroup should be dead, right? Even if it was a real boar, bull, or even an elephant, to persist to this degree should be the limit, right?

Boss Gold Tooth’s body, which was as sturdy as a hill, was covered in a layer of red sand. At first glance, it really looked like a small fortress.

Bai Xiaolu swallowed hard. She did not dare to test whether Boss Gold Tooth was dead or alive. She circled around the wrecked vehicle and gestured to Wan Zanghai on the sand dune. “One!”

Wan Canghai squatted for another three minutes before he slowly stood up. Holding his gun, he moved to Bai Xiaolu step by step.

“Well done, Bai Xiaolu. You’ve made a great contribution. You saved yourself and me. Thank you!”

Wan Canghai grinned. Although he said ‘thank you’, there was no gratitude in his eyes, only excitement and greed. “Which one? Which one?”

“Well—”

After only one word, Bai Xiaolu’s throat, heart, and every pore on her body were all frozen.

A giant shadow covered the head of the boy and the teenager.
