Doomsday Totem

Chapter 19
Iron Slag recovered from the side effects of the stimulant, and frowned somewhat annoyed, as if recalling what happened just now.

"Brother Tie, your stimulants have been out of control for longer and longer, so don't use them anymore." The fat man said.

"We didn't need it just now, we were already dead." Tie Slag shook his head.

"I didn't get things done!" The big fat man sighed and said, "I didn't expect that No. 13 Yincheng would reach into Heros' house."

"They are a bunch of shameless people!" You Ge waved his white fists, gritted his teeth and said, "No. 13 people in Yincheng are the most unruly people, especially those from Lei Ling's family. They will do anything to the extreme for their own benefit .”

At this time, You Ge found that Tie Slag and the fat man were looking at her with contempt, and the expressions on their faces seemed to say, 'The people above you are all the same. '

"Our NO.17 people are different..." You Ge imitated Tie Slag's tone and said, "Forget it, you guys won't understand."

Next, Tie Slag and the fat man rummaged through the gas station for a while, clearing out all the valuables and throwing them into the pickup truck.Then, the two found several barrels of fuel at the gas station and filled up the fuel tanks of the pickup truck and the locomotive respectively.After doing all this, they skillfully poured the remaining fuel around the gas station, and finally set it on fire.

Looking at the burning gas station, the fat man reminded, "This is a stronghold of the Blue Wolf Society. Someone will come to check it out soon. Let's go."

Tie Slag fished out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the fat man, saying, "This is the person my eldest sister asked me to kill. You can check around the city and do it when I come back."

The big fat guy took the photo and glanced at it, carefully put it in his pocket, and said solemnly, "I'm doing things, Brother Tie, don't worry."

Tie Slag gave a cold snort, and said, "If it's too late this time, I'll tell Eldest Sister and let her reason with you."

"Stop, brother Tie..." the fat man begged for mercy.He had experienced the power of that woman a few years ago.

At that time, Lina had just arrived in Iron Mountain Town, and on the first day she came, she set off a bloodbath, and within 24 hours, the original forces in Iron Mountain Town were uprooted.Thinking of her iron-blooded and ruthless wrist, the big fat man still feels a little terrified.If she hadn't taken a fancy to Iron Slag back then, the fat guy who was in charge of running errands would have been purged along with the old forces.

Seeing the big fat man sweating profusely, Tie Slag felt much more comfortable.The danger of narrowly escaped death just now was due to the bad luck of this big fat guy.He continued to say a few threatening words, stepped on the locomotive, and drove You Ge away.

In the roar, the red comet sailed towards the endless northern wilderness, and finally turned into a small red dot.

The big fat man watched them leave, curled his lips, shook his fat head, and drove away.

More than 20 minutes later, Iron Slag looked back at the sand city that disappeared into the horizon, and stopped the locomotive.Under Yu Ge's questioning gaze, he took out a map from the canvas pocket at the rear of the motorcycle and spread it on the ground.

He gestured at the map and began to explain the itinerary to You Ge.

NO.17 Yincheng's military base is located [-] kilometers northeast of Shacheng.The first half along the way is mainly semi-desert wasteland, and the second half is mainly roads.

There are some mutated creatures in the wilderness, but the main danger comes from scavengers.They are a group of vagrants who live in the wilderness and usually use some simple weapons.All travelers in the wilderness are their prey, unless they feel you are a rock they cannot chew.

"You are harder than a rock." You Ge interrupted and commented.

For a while, Tie Slag couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a derogation, so he didn't answer the question and continued to explain the itinerary.

Although the wasteland is somewhat dangerous, the locomotive can run on tires.Therefore, as long as they are cautious, there will be basically no trouble on the road.The biggest trouble at present is the supply along the way.The red comet needs refueling every [-] kilometers.Before arriving at their destination, they had to pass through three small towns where they had to buy fuel.

In the wild world, laws don't work very well.For the residents of those small towns, another identity of a traveler is - a fat chicken.

Tie Slag looked at You Ge, then raised his head to look at the sky, as if he remembered something.

After a while...

"You are just a fat chicken." Tie Slag said seriously.

"You...you are the one..." You Ge retorted with a blushing face.

Later, Tie Slag asked You Ge to use the canvas robe as much as possible to cover up his figure and appearance.A girl like her is like a sweet cake in the wasteland, everyone wants to take a bite.

"Am I pretty?" You Ge gently combed his hair, brushing a strand of silver hair behind his ear, exposing his delicate and small ears.Under the sunlight, the thin auricles glowed with a faint red light, and the tiny blood vessels inside could be clearly seen.She smiled sweetly, her eyes curved into crescents.

In that gentle smile, light waves flowed in her clear eyes, as if water was about to drip out.

In a few years, she will become a great goblin like Lina; perhaps in some respects, she will be even more lethal, Tie Slag can't help but think.

"Huh?" You Ge caught his moment of distraction and asked further.

"General..." Tie Slag came back to his senses and replied immediately.However, this is not very convincing to You Ge.

"Really?" You Ge asked slyly, the smile in his eyes became stronger.

"Okay." Tie Slag spread his hands, shrugged, and said, "I admit, you are much prettier than the women in the alleys of Tieshan Town."

You Ge's smile suddenly froze, she really wanted to slap him!He actually confuses her with Liuying and puts her on the two ends of the balance for comparison!This is simply an insult and blasphemy to a noble lady who was born well and kept herself clean since she was a child.

Tie Slag looked back at the girl whose face was gradually turning cold, and scratched his head in some puzzlement.He obviously said some nice words and praised her appearance to the greatest extent, but she didn't appreciate it at all.The people in Yincheng really don't understand.

You Ge saw Tie Slag scratching his head, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind.She quickly figured out why, and was relieved.But in this relief, there is a deep heaviness hidden.

The boy in front of him, perhaps among the women he has seen since he was a child, the only beautiful ones are those Liuying.Perhaps, those women can also be called beautiful.

You Ge guessed right, it was indeed the case.When Tie Slag first met Lina, he said the same thing.It's just that Lina, who was born in Sand City, understood the heart of a boy better, and she readily accepted his compliment immediately.

Relieved, You Ge returned to smiling.She raised her pointed chin, wrinkled her little nose and snorted softly, saying, "I'm much prettier than them." She then emphasized, "And I'm clean, and I've never been touched by any other man."

Slag was going to say, 'What's the difference. ’ But he swallowed the words again, and he instinctively realized that these words might cause the third lady of the Lombard family to be unhappy.

"Let's go, we have to arrive near the Locke Bridge within two days." Tie Slag put away the map while changing the subject, and motioned for You Ge to get on the bus.

You Ge got into the car, and asked him curiously why he rushed there.She remembered the map she had seen just now. The Locke Bridge was located about [-] kilometers northeast of Sand City, which might be the first supply point chosen by the iron slag.

Iron Slag explained to her while driving the locomotive.

The Locke Bridge is the only way to the NO.17 Silver City military base.The Shacheng Self-Government Committee set up checkpoints there, and then collected bridge tolls from travelers.

People who manage the bridge often find some inexplicable reasons to make it difficult for travelers to get money.These managers change shifts every month.Usually at the end of the month, when they get more benefits, they will be relatively timid.After all, their wallets are bulging, and they can enjoy it for a while when they return to Sand City.Therefore, Iron Slag has to cross the bridge before they change shifts, which can save a lot of money and trouble.

"Are these people official officials of the Shacheng Self-Government Committee?" You Ge asked.

"It should be..." Tie Slag answered uncertainly.

"These people are really hateful!" You Ge said indignantly.

"Speaking of it, it is because the existence of this bridge hinders the trade in the northeast. Many businessmen and travelers would rather go long distances than take the bridge."

You Ge thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, you are quite smart, knowing that it will affect the transaction."

Tie Slag couldn't help but rolled his eyes, this was another sentence that couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a derogation.

"You should go to study." You Ge said suddenly

Tie Slag was silent for a while, then asked, "Where do you go to learn?"

"Go to NO.17 Yincheng, I will support you."

Tie Slag was silent for a while, then smiled self-deprecatingly.As a worm-like mutant, he can't go anywhere.

"Please trust me."

You Ge raised the palm of his right hand, looked at the distant sky at a firm angle of 45 degrees, and said reverently:

"I, Yugo Lombard, swear only on the honor and reputation of the family..."

"I'm not going!" Tie Slag violently broke her vow, growling, "I'm not going anywhere, I just want to go back to Tieshan Town."

"Go back and pick up garbage for a lifetime?" You Ge asked coldly.

"I grew up in the trash, and I don't think there is anything wrong with picking up trash."

"All right……"

You Ge's helpless tone was full of disappointment and loneliness...

Iron Slag secretly sighed.His adoptive father discovered his special constitution when he was very young.The old man kept telling him not to go to any Silver City or Silver City military bases, where genetic anomaly scanners were usually installed.

Stay away from any believers in the temple, they regard the worm mutation as heresy, and believe that the worm mutation is the result of demon possession, and it is a medium for demons to invade this world.

Those Templar Crusaders, Holy Flame Judges, and Holy Light Cleaners have a zero-tolerance attitude towards insect mutants.

The temple often organizes some purification teams to search for and purify the mutants all over the world.

And most of Yincheng's policies on the bug-mutated mutants basically originated from the intervention of the temple.

Fortunately, among the three major religions in the world, only the Holy Temple has a completely obliterative attitude towards the worm mutants.

Notre Dame is neutral on worm variants.It is neither welcome nor deliberately expelled.

But the temples that believe in ancestor worship have sympathy and pity for the worm-like mutants.They believe that insectoid mutants are also a part of human beings, sharing the glory of their ancestors in the genetic chain.

It's a pity that the temple is the weakest among the three major religions.In the entire world, the Temple has 67% of the parishes, Notre Dame has 26% of the parishes, and the temple has only 7% of the parishes.
