Doomsday Totem

Chapter 20: Crossing the Bridge
Three days later, Iron Slag and Yu Ge arrived near the Locke Bridge.

From a distance, the Locke Bridge stands majestically between the sky and the earth. This is a typical cable suspension bridge.Under the bridge is the torrential Heishui River.

Since the Fourth World War, nuclear pollution on the earth has become increasingly serious, and the global environment has tended to deteriorate extremely.In order to adapt to the harsh living environment, various creatures have evolved (or mutated) one after another.Sea creatures first evolved, followed by freshwater creatures, and finally land and sky creatures.With the evolution of marine life, seas and rivers have gradually become forbidden areas for most humans.

Some of those evolved marine creatures have the ability to destroy steel, some have become extremely large in size, some have the ability to fly for a short time, some have evolved highly corrosive body fluids, and some have grown highly poisonous gallbladders...

In short, marine life has become ferocious and dangerous, gradually driving humans out of the ocean.Immediately afterwards, marine life entered the Danshui River upstream, completely turning the river into a nightmare for human beings.

Since then, human beings can only rely on aircraft to cross the ocean, and basically rely on bridges to cross the river, and ships are extremely rare.

There is a gas station of HH Company near the pier of the Locke Bridge. HH Company is the largest fuel company in the entire Northern Wilderness Continent.Each gas station is equipped with more than two heavy-duty mechs and a team of gas station guards to ensure the order and interests of the gas station.

Near the gas station, there are a few taverns scattered here and there.It is now evening, and the tavern is slowly rising with smoke.Iron Slag didn't get close to the Locke Bridge, but just watched the bridge piers and the gas station from afar.He had to wait to cross the bridge when it had just darkened and the bridge lights hadn't come on.

Because at that time the light is the worst and the visibility is the lowest.Moreover, the guards of the bridge are about to change shifts.They are all looking forward to the activities after get off work, and their attention will be greatly reduced at this time.

In this cruel world, You Ge's beauty is like a hot potato, causing unnecessary troubles at any time.

After entering the vicinity of the Locke Bridge, Iron Slag's expression became more serious.You Ge just leaned against him quietly, without disturbing his thoughts.What Iron Slag is most worried about at the moment is that if the guards of the Locke Bridge peep at Yu Ge's beauty and put forward conditions that he cannot accept.

So what should he do?
The guards on the bridge are all well-equipped sand city guards, perhaps they are also equipped with military mechs.In this case, the iron slag would definitely not be able to beat it, and whether it could escape was another matter.In addition, even if Iron Slag can fight a bloody path and lead You Ge across the bridge.So, from now on, he is the most wanted criminal of the Shacheng Autonomous Committee.The bounty hunters in the entire northern wilderness will dig three feet to search for him.Even if he is invincible, he can't bear the constant and tiresome assassination.What's more, he is not very strong, an old-fashioned mecha can kill half of his life.

This thing can be very simple, or it can be very complicated.

The guards of the Locke Bridge were nothing more than asking You Ge to sleep with them, ranging from three or four people to as many as a dozen.The members of the Sand City Defense Team are not scavengers who have completely lost their humanity, but are more lustful.In this case, the woman's life is generally not in danger.If it was just an ordinary woman, it might be much easier to handle.But now it is You Ge, this kind of thing happened to her, it may be more painful to her than death.

The more Tie Slag thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he simply stopped thinking about it.He set the alarm clock and took a nap.

Two hours later, it was getting dark.It's ten past seven, and the bridge lights turn on at seven thirty.Iron Slag arranged for 10 minutes to refuel and 10 minutes to cross the bridge.

The refueling was smooth, and the gas stations of HH Company were more formal.As long as you have money, there is basically no trouble.

After filling up the oil, Iron Slag drove the locomotive slowly up the bridge pier.He has been observing for a long time just now, and there are five people in the checkpoint at Qiaokou here.One of them is the squadron leader, equipped with a pistol, and the rest of the soldiers are equipped with Ak47 assault rifles.There are also five soldiers at the other end of the bridge. Although they are too far away to see clearly, they are probably the same configuration as here.

After leaving the gas station, You Ge leaned on Tie Slag's back and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, the red comet slowly drove into the pass, and the squadron leader signaled Iron Slag to get off the car for inspection.

"Sir, my friend has a fever, so there's no need to..." As he spoke, Tie Slag secretly stuffed two gold coins into it.The squadron leader squinted his eyes and looked at the palm of his hand, then waved his hand to let him pass.

Iron Slag nodded, and slowly drove out of the checkpoint.Just as he was about to speed up, the squadron leader's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"and many more!"

As soon as the squadron leader finished speaking, the other four guards immediately raised their guns and aimed at the iron slag.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Tie Slag stopped the car and asked a little puzzled.In fact, he made a very serious mistake.He should only give two silver coins, one for the bridge toll and one for the squadron leader.In this way, the squadron leader will let them cross the bridge smoothly.But Tie Slag was still too young, and thought that the more money he gave, the better he would be able to do things, so he gave two gold coins at once.This aroused the greed and doubts of the squadron leader.Whether it was to ask for more money or out of safety considerations, the squadron leader would stop them to ask for clarification.

"Recently, a vicious criminal escaped from the prison in Shacheng. You and your friends will be interrogated. Get out of the car." The squadron leader ordered in a deep voice.

"Sir, my friend has a fever, maybe it's contagious..." Tie Slag replied somewhat bluntly.

"Get out of the car immediately!" The squadron leader snapped.

Iron Slag glanced casually out of the corner of his eye.He saw the soldiers' forefingers close to the trigger. At this moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he made a decision.He is a simple and direct person, the lowering of his head just now was already his limit.Therefore, his eyes quickly returned to their usual sharpness, sweeping across the squadron leader's neck like a blade.

Seeing the boy's instant change, the squadron leader broke out in a cold sweat.Only the most ferocious wolf has such a gaze.The squadron leader took a step back involuntarily, but it strengthened his determination to check the other party.This is the territory of the Sand City Defense Team, no matter how ruthless a person is, he must bow his head to him!
It's a dragon, coiled up for Lao Tzu, and a tiger, lying down for Lao Tzu.This is the logic of the squadron leader, and even the entire Sand City Defense Team.

Iron Slag grinned, and at the same time all the muscles in his body tensed up.He can kill these people in just three seconds.However, let's talk about the future...

At this moment, You Ge's clear voice sounded in his ear.

"Lieutenant, let your highest officer come here, you..." Yu Ge paused, and then elongated his voice, "You are not qualified to interrogate us."

You Ge's speech was a little slow, with a hint of laziness in her tone, but her voice was particularly clear and bright.The tone of her speech at this moment brought an indescribable feeling to Tie Slag.

Iron Slag couldn't hear the feeling, but the squadron leader could. This is the unique tone of the Yincheng nobles.

"My lord? Are you..." the squadron leader asked cautiously.His attitude became extremely respectful, and his tone softened.

"Let your highest officer come over, don't delay my schedule," You Ge raised his head, revealing the lower part of his face.Seeing her red lips parted slightly, she commanded in a deep voice: "Go!"

"No, no, my lord, please go slowly." The squadron leader saluted respectfully, indicating to let him go.

Tie Slag started the car and was about to leave, but You Ge said, "Wait." Then, she pointed to the squadron leader and said, "Come here, I'll have a word with you."

The squadron leader nodded and walked over.He put his hands on his lower abdomen, looking very respectful.

"Some things, don't go too far, we are all watching from above." You Ge said lightly.

The squadron leader was sweating profusely, and answered in a trembling voice, "Yes... yes... yes..." As he spoke, he took out two gold coins and stuffed them into Tie Slag's hand, and whispered to Tie Slag: "Brother, help me tell say."

"Take it to the bar, dare to return the dirty things you touched." You Ge said lazily.

Tie Slag stuffed the gold coin back to the squadron leader and said, "Talk to the bridge to keep them out of the way, we still have tasks."

"Okay...ok...okah..." The squadron leader nodded quickly and replied.

Iron Slag snorted coldly, tightened the accelerator, and galloped towards the other end of the bridge.

The squadron leader let out a sigh of relief, turned on the intercom and said, "Brothers on the other side of the bridge, there is a big man passing by, and it is a red locomotive." He emphasized: "No interrogation, just let it go!"

A few minutes later, the red comet whizzed past the checkpoint at the other end of the bridge, heading towards the endless wasteland.

After walking away from the Locke Bridge, Tie Slag laughed out loud, a hearty laugh that resounded throughout the world.He laughed for a long time before stopping, then gave You Ge a thumbs up, and praised: "It's amazing!"

You Ge raised his pointed chin and said proudly, "You know how powerful Miss Ben is."

"Well, it's amazing." Tie Slag said seriously.After all, he racked his brains to cross the bridge, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and the other side's attitude was so respectful.

Seeing Tie Slag's sincere expression, You Ge suddenly felt a heartache.People on the ground have a really hard time surviving.She couldn't help hugging Tie Slag's neck, and whispered in his ear, "You want to reward me, take me to eat something delicious."

"Okay!" Iron Slag nodded heavily.

"Yo~"

After receiving Tie Slag's response, You Ge cried out happily.She knew that the young man in front of her said "Okay." It was an ironclad promise.Tonight, she will definitely eat something delicious.

"Ever heard of gerbils?" Iron Slag asked.

"I don't want to eat mice."

"Gerbils are the most delicious food in the wilderness, even better than sand scorpions."

"really?"

Tie Slag rubbed You Ge's short hair and said, "Come on, I'll take you to fry gerbils, they are very cunning."
