Doomsday Totem

Chapter 16 Sand City
The afternoon sun scorched the barren land, and the sparse weeds grew stubbornly on the cracked yellow land against the scorching sun.The hot air hardly moved, and occasionally a vulture's neighing could be heard in the sky.

In this endless wasteland, a convoy headed for Sand City from east to west.In the front section of the convoy were more than a dozen rear eight-wheel trucks. The fully loaded trucks weighed heavily on the thick tires, so that the tires sank slightly into the dry ground, leaving deep tire marks.Behind the rear eight-wheeler was a beat-up pickup loaded with some repair kits and tires.Behind the pickup was a semi-new Great Wall off-road vehicle, and the owner and captain of the team were sitting in the vehicle.

"Brothers, as long as we arrive at Sand City before sunset, the boss will let us have a night of carnival!" the team captain yelled on the walkie-talkie, "Cheer up! The girls at the Oak Bar are already waiting for us with their legs wide open .” Immediately, there was a loud laughter from the intercom.

"These bastards." The team boss scolded with a smile on his chest.He had spent five days on the road from the plateau plantations in the east.At this moment, he was thinking that as long as these more than ten carts of grain were transported to Shacheng, the task would be considered complete.I have been running on the wasteland for the past few days, eating and sleeping in the open every day, and my whole body is a little sticky.After arriving in Shacheng, you must take a good bath, and then find two young girls to massage your waist.

Sand City is the only city within a radius of 300 kilometers (except for those Silver Cities), located in the middle of the nine Silver Cities.Sand City was established more than [-] years ago. Her predecessor was an industrial area composed of a large geothermal power station and surrounding factories.With the desertification of the land, villages with a radius of hundreds of kilometers have been deserted one after another.The villagers moved to the vicinity of the power station and relied on part-time jobs for a living.Gradually, it became an industrial city.Afterwards, silver cities rose to the sky, and more workers lost their source of livelihood and gathered here to survive.

Today, the geothermal power station with inexhaustible thermal energy has become the biggest advantage of Sand City.Tens of millions of workers live here, working day and night to produce various materials for the nine surrounding silver cities.

The sun is gradually sinking to the west, and the outline of the sand city appears on the distant horizon.It was a city made of steel, with countless thick chimneys towering into the sky.At this moment, the chimney was emitting black smoke, forming a huge black cloud above the sand city.

A burst of cheers erupted over the intercom.The drivers yelled excitedly and drove to their happy place.There is wine, meat, women, everything they want...

More than ten minutes later, the convoy arrived at the grain warehouse at the east gate of Shacheng.It was night after the loading and unloading was completed, and the team owner led the drivers into the oak bar in the north of Sand City.This bar is not particularly spacious, it only covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters including the bar counter. There are a row of iron rectangular tables beside the wall, and there is an aisle between the rectangular tables and the bar counter.This group of people sat down at the rectangular table near the door and ordered food noisily.

Every time the team owner comes to Shacheng, he will spend the night in this bar. The rent here is cheap, the food is cheap, and the girls are relatively cheap.

After a while, the bar owner brought food and drinks.The drivers gathered around the long table and devoured it. It didn't take long for them to eat and drink, and they were drunk and shouted for women.The bar owner immediately called a dozen girls to let them choose.The drivers pushed and clamored for the team owner to pick first.

The owner of the team looked at the dozens of fat, swallows and thin flowers, but he was really not interested, so he waved his hand to let the drivers choose.He planned to ask the bar owner to introduce him alone in the middle of the night and get a prettier girl.At this moment, he saw a boy and a girl sitting in the corner of the bar.The boy leaned against the wall with his arms folded and his eyes closed. One of his eyes was wrapped in gauze, and he looked injured.The girl is eating. From this angle, the food on the plate is not rich.It seems that their economy is not well off.Of course, why would rich people come to the Oak Bar?
The girl was wearing a pullover canvas robe.Viewed from the side, her breasts are well developed and her buttocks are round and plump. Even this ordinary robe can hardly conceal her bumpy figure.She showed a blindingly white arm as she ate, and the creamy skin was so tempting to bite.

The team boss, who was three points drunk, looked at the beautiful girl lewdly, and the corners of his mouth drooled uncontrollably.He summoned the bar owner, pointed at the girl's back and asked, "The girl over there, let her come and sleep with me."

"She's a guest, not a girl from here." The bar owner showed embarrassment.

The team owner took out a silver coin and said in a rough voice, "Just say I'll give her a gold coin."

The owner of the bar stretched out his thumb and said, "Boss Cai Er is so proud and willing to give up. You are a golden coin. Even a fairy has to lie down for you." The team owner laughed and waved him to go quickly.The bar owner took the silver coins, walked to the girl's long table in a few steps, bent over and said, "Miss, our store..."

He only spoke halfway, but abruptly stopped talking.Because, he saw the boy who had been leaning in the corner silently opened his eyes.At that moment, the pores all over his body stood up.The sharp eyes were like a knife piercing the heart, almost making him unable to breathe.The bar owner has been operating here for many years, and he still has basic eyesight. In a blink of an eye, he returned to the team owner, put down the silver coins silently, and returned to the bar without saying a word.

The team owner was a little drunk and didn't understand what the bar owner meant.At this time, the driver who was holding the girl on the side looked at this scene, slapped the table drunkenly, and shouted: "Boss, I'll talk." As he spoke, the driver stood up while supporting the table, and staggered towards the girl.

"Hey! Girl, hey! Our boss wants to sleep with you." The driver said vaguely, and reached out to grab the girl's shoulder.The moment he was about to touch the girl, the girl suddenly turned around and avoided his hand.Before he could react, a black pistol was already pressed against his temple.

The driver was so frightened that he shook his head and slowly raised his hands above his head.

"Get lost!" the girl gritted her teeth and said viciously.The driver's drunkenness disappeared, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He turned around stiffly and walked back to his seat step by step.

"Little scumbag, sister is amazing~" The girl sat down and looked at the boy with a smile.

These two people are Tie Slag and You Ge, and they have been in Shacheng for two days.During the period, Iron Slag went to buy some medicines requested by Dr. Narcissus, as well as Lao Di's sunscreen, and replaced the capacitor of Red Comet.He hasn't found the person Lina requested.In addition, Iron Slag contacted a small captain of the Sand City Defense Team and asked him to contact the Xiros family, one of the four major families in Sand City, to see if they were interested in Longbar's friendship.

In fact, Tie Slag didn't want to contact the Xiros family, because Lena Yukiris was from the Xiros family.Lena is the illegitimate daughter of Leighton Hiros, so she didn't use the surname of Hiros, but her mother Yukiris' surname.Due to the internal conflicts in the family, Layton sent Lena to manage Iron Mountain Town four years ago, keeping her away from family disputes.This time, the Xiros family was chosen as the partner, mainly because Tie Slag was not familiar with any family in Sand City.And he learned from Lena that the Xiros family is a relatively traditional family, and the head of the family, Layton, is still an upright person.

At this time, there was a loud "bang" in front, and a big fat guy kicked open the door of the bar and walked in.He is nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy body of fat, broad shoulders, a big belly, thick thighs, but relatively thin calves.

"Captain Lu, welcome." When the door was kicked, the boss frowned.But when he saw who was coming, he immediately changed his face into a flattering smile.

The big fat guy ignored the bar owner, stood at the door and looked around, and finally stopped at Tie Slag's position, and then walked over.When the group of people in the convoy passed by, the big fat man frowned, maybe he thought they were too noisy, he slapped the table suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!"

The dishes and wine bottles on the table were shaken by this slap. The drivers who had been frightened continuously all night got up in a hurry and rushed out of the bar as if fleeing.Just before the team owner came to the door, he was brought back by the big fat man by the collar, and shouted in his ear: "Check out!" The team owner tremblingly took out a gold coin and threw it to the bar owner , ran away without looking back.

The bar owner smiled helplessly. It seems that the income tonight has been halved. Maybe those people will not dare to come again in the future.The fat man grinned at him, turned around and sat down beside Tie Slag.

"Did I ask you to sit down?" Tie Slag opened his one eye and asked with murderous intent.

The big fat guy hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile, "Brother Tie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"What about the thing I asked you to ask?"

"We have already contacted her. The Xiros family is willing to offer two hundred gold coins as a thank you gift, and solemnly promises to do everything they can to send Miss Lombard home."

"Did Leighton Hiros personally agree?" Iron Slag asked.

"Brother Tie, with my identity, how can I see the Patriarch of Xiros?" The fat man sighed.

"Who are you looking for?"

"The young master and the housekeeper of the Xiros family, they have an appointment to handover at a place outside Sand City tomorrow morning, and I will send you the coordinates later."

"Why don't you go directly to their house?" Tie Slag frowned and asked.

"Master Xiros said that dragons and snakes are mixed in the city, and there are many eyeliners of various forces. It seems that the Lombard family is not at odds with the No. 13 people in Yincheng. The Xiros family does not want to intervene in their conflicts, so they will prepare Good personnel and vehicles, directly send the lady of the Lombard family back to NO.17 Silver City outside the city."

Tie Slag bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Give me the coordinates, and I'll give you ten gold coins later."

The big fat guy nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, Brother Tie, thank you! Brother Tie is so kind." After speaking, he took out the communicator and sent the coordinates to Tie Slag.

After the big fat guy left, You Ge muttered unhappily: "Two hundred gold, no! Just sell me for 190 gold, am I that worthless?"

"They are more familiar with the rules of Yincheng than I am, and they are also more capable than me. Believe me, they will send you home safely..."

Tie Slag said some comforting words for the first time, You Ge seemed to be persuaded by him, and said a little disappointed, "Can't you send me back?"

"My status does not allow me to send you back." Tie Slag sighed and said, "Forget it, you won't understand."

Iron Slag has the gene of a worm-like mutant. As long as he is close to the military base of No. 17 Yincheng, he may be detected by the sensitive army.Therefore, he did not dare to get close to any military base in Silver City.For nearly 50 years, all the Silver City have been committed to eradicating the bug variants, which they believe is the wrong evolutionary direction of human beings.In their view, the insectoid mutants are no longer humans, but monsters produced by environmental pollution.

But Tie Slag couldn't say these words to You Ge.He subconsciously concealed the truth from her.
