Doomsday Totem

Chapter 17 Trading
At dawn, the Sand City is still brightly lit. This is a never-ending industrial city, producing and processing various materials at all times to supply the nine surrounding Silver Cities.

In the oak bar, the boss wiped the last wine glass, closed the store door, and extinguished the last light.At this time, in a guest room on the second floor of the bar, You Ge was sleeping curled up on a small bed, while Tie Slag was sitting in the corner with his machete in his arms, eyes closed and rested.

The morning light came in from the small window of the room and shone on the old wooden floor, bringing some warmth to the room.

You Ge turned over, his clear eyes reflected a glimmer of light.She stared at the iron slag, without the slightest sleepiness on her face.

"Can't sleep?" The boy whispered from the corner. "Hmm~" "What are you thinking?" "We... Will we meet again in the future?" "Probably not."

"Why..." You Ge let out a faint breath, turning his body sideways to look at the morning light outside the window.She knew the answer to this question, but wanted to ask him again.The past few days of getting along has made her a little bit reluctant.

"Silver City...it's beautiful up there." "Well, both sides of the street are full of trees, the sun shines on the ground through the leaves, and there are always birds chirping overhead. At noon in summer, I will lie on the bed The wicker chair in the small garden is so comfortable for the morning break~" "You will be home soon." "What about you, where are you going?" "Go home."

"Is it cold there in winter?" You Ge wrapped the blanket subconsciously.She remembered that last winter, she stood on the edge of Silver City and looked at it, and the ground was a vast expanse of whiteness.I heard that the temperature below will be as low as minus [-] degrees.At that time, she wondered how people on the ground should live in such an environment.

"It's very cold, and if you are not careful, you will get frostbite. But as long as there is enough fuel oil, you can warm the house; sometimes I will go to the old cow, and then I will get some sand scorpion meat, and boil water while cooking." Eat it hot, it’s as comfortable as yours.”

Listening to the young man's Wen Wen's words, You Ge's heart felt tight for a while, and a powerless pain spread in his chest.There seemed to be tears in her starry eyes.She turned over and pretended to gradually fall asleep.

Silence returned to the small room.

In a few hours...

A bell rang in the sky above Shacheng, and the sound of "Dangdangdang..." rang nine times in a row.The loud bells sounded everywhere, heralding the end of the evening shift and the beginning of the morning shift in the factory.

Iron Slag finished packing and took You Ge out of the oak bar after paying the bill.At this time, he saw the big fat man sitting in the driver's seat of a pickup truck and waving to him.

"Brother Tie, I'll take you there, and your motorcycle can be left behind." The fat man shouted loudly, his thick voice breaking the silence around him.

"Afraid that I won't give you money?" Tie Slag narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Tie...Brother Tie, if...what, I...I'm worried about you."

"What are you worried about?" Tie Slag asked in a deep voice, and at the same time glanced over like a vulture.

"No...it's nothing, everything is going well, everything is going well!" the fat man scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not like you don't know about my work, Lu Shanhai."

Tie Slag snorted coldly, and the fat guy got out of the car quickly and carried the locomotive parked at the entrance of the bar to the pickup truck.When the big fat guy was moving the locomotive, You Ge approached Tie Slag, and whispered into his ear, "Is the big fat guy reliable?"

Tie Slag told her softly that the big fat guy was from Tieshan Town, and he made a living picking up trash with him since he was a child, and he was a reliable partner.You Ge pouted, looking at the back of the big fat guy with some doubts...

After a while, the fat guy fixed the locomotive in the car body, then he greeted the two of them to get on the car, and then drove the pickup truck to the agreed location in the north of Sand City.

After more than ten minutes, they came to the location specified by the coordinates.This is an abandoned gas station surrounded by rusty barbed wire.At the entrance stood two burly men in disheveled clothes, both armed with machetes and single-shot rifles.Above the heads of the two strong men hung a large wooden board with a turquoise wolf head graffitied on it.

The big fat guy parks the pickup at the entrance and honks the horn.A few minutes later, a dozen people walked out of the gas station room.The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and a black bow at the neckline.

Tie Slag took You Ge out of the car, and the fat man pointed to the middle-aged man in a tuxedo and said, "Brother Tie, he is Steward Song of the Xiros family."

After a while, Steward Song walked up to the three of them.Behind him were more than a dozen strong men holding rifles, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.Iron Slag only took a glance, and found that the safety catches of the rifles of these strong men had been pulled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. This handsome guy is Brother Tie Slag." Steward Song said politely.

Iron Slag nodded as an answer.Then, Steward Song's eyes moved to You Ge's face, and then he clenched his right fist and placed it on his left shoulder, bowing his head and saluting.This is a standard commoner's etiquette to nobles.

"Dear Miss Longbar, we swear that we will deliver you safely to NO.17 Yincheng." Steward Song said solemnly, and then he sideways out of the passage, bent over and made a gesture of invitation, "Long Miss Barr, please."

You Ge glanced at Tie Slag, and seemed to hesitate to speak.Iron Slag nodded, and also made a gesture of please.You Ge gritted his teeth bitterly, and walked into the gas station without looking back...

Steward Song took out a bag of money and handed it to Tie Slag.After Tie Slag changed hands, he handed the money bag to the big fat man beside him, and ordered, "Count the count." Seeing this, Steward Song frowned slightly, but it only took a moment for him to return to normal.The fat man fumbled with the money bag for a while, then nodded to Tie Slag.

After confirming the number of gold coins, Iron Slag grinned, said "thank you" and simply climbed into the passenger seat of the pickup truck.The big fat guy got into the car right after him, stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.

A few seconds after leaving the gas station, Tie Slag asked in a deep voice, "Where's the young master of the Hiros family?"

"Butler Song is a member of the Xiros family. Why do you care so much?" The fat man took out his wallet, weighed it, threw it to the iron slag in the passenger seat, and sighed, "Two hundred gold can last two winters Already!"

"Speak clearly!" Tie Slag shouted in a deep voice.

The big fat guy was taken aback. Seeing Tie Slag's stern face, he broke out in a cold sweat...

At the same time, You Ge walked into the gas station.She looked around and saw an old mecha standing by the wall.She remembered that this was an x3 fully mechanical mech, equipped with two rotating barrel Vulcan cannons, which had been eliminated 20 years ago.The mecha has been polished and appears to be in good repair.

While You Ge was observing the mecha, Butler Song followed up from behind and invited her to the gas station to take a rest.After a while, she walked into the lobby of the gas station under the leadership of Butler Song.There are more than 200 square meters here, with windows on all sides, and dilapidated sofas, coffee tables, and office desks in the middle...

You Ge walked to the middle of the hall, she looked around, trying to pick a cleaner place to sit down.At this moment, she found that a dozen strong men followed the butler into the hall, and she couldn't help frowning.

"Miss Lombard, please put down your weapon, we will take you home safely." Steward Song said seriously.Before he finished speaking, the strong men behind him all raised their rifles and aimed at You Ge.

"Since you know my identity, you should know the consequences of doing so." You Ge threatened in a deep voice.

Before You Ge finished speaking, two strong men suddenly rushed forward, pulled the submachine gun off her back and threw it aside, and put handcuffs on her.You Ge gritted his teeth and stared at Steward Song, saying word by word: "One day, Longbar's anger will burn you to ashes!"

Butler Song laughed, but there was a smile on his wrinkled face.He walked around You Ge, wandering between You Ge's chest and buttocks with his naked eyes, making a "tsk tsk tsk" sound, "It's so round, so big, so beautiful." He said Steward Song shouted, "Brothers, it's time for a feast tonight."

More than a dozen strong men stared straight at the girl, letting out obscene laughter, and some even whistled.

You Ge's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "If you hurt me, you will pay the price. Father will definitely kill you all."

"Miss Noble, it seems that you still don't understand your position." Steward Song said with a sneer, "Okay, let you understand, we are all working for Lei Ling's family."

Hearing the words 'Lei Ling's family', You Ge was completely in despair.This is her father's relentless political enemy, the NO.13 senior executive of Yincheng who wants to put her to death.

"Play with us well, we will make your death less painful." Steward Song said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to You Ge...

"Don't even think about it!" You Ge shouted sharply!
Accompanied by this low shout, all her short silver hair stood on end, and a blue light suddenly appeared in her star pupils!In the blink of an eye, an invisible energy bombarded Steward Song's chest!It was as if Steward Song's chest had been hit with a heavy hammer, and pieces of meat and bones were sunk into his chest and lungs.He flew out backwards with a mouthful of blood, and fell silent as soon as he landed. He couldn't die anymore.

"Psyker!" Someone yelled.

A dozen strong men immediately fell to the ground, staring at the girl who suddenly exploded in horror.

"Don't shoot! The psychic's mental shock can only be used once." Someone among the strong men shouted.

"Yes, yes, don't shoot, you can't play if you break it." Someone added.

"Hey hey..." Many people laughed.

You Ge looked around at the strong men around him, his pretty face glowed red.She only heard her drink softly, and a black pistol flew from her waist into her hand.She took a deep breath, raised the pistol and pointed it at her temple.
