Chapter 3278 - Untitled

The sudden appearance of a large batch of magnetic explosive infantry caught everyone off guard.

Bai Xiaolu had seen with her own eyes that Boss Gold Tooth, with the Vulcan Machine Gun on his shoulder, had rushed to the frontline of the magnetic explosion infantry with earsplitting roars. The storm-like bullets had knocked one of the soldiers to the ground, but that was all. Soon, he was drowned in the ocean of blue electric arcs, and there was no telling whether he was dead or alive.

The mobs attacking ‘New Gold Mountain’ had been motivated by greed and victory in the first place, which was why they were marching forward without caring about anything else. The toughness of the magnetic explosive infantry was enough to calm them down. Fear occupied every nerve in their body. Some of them were shouting, and some were fleeing. The situation of the battle had suddenly reversed.

It seemed that his brother was right. Boss Gold Tooth did not know that a magnetic explosion infantry factory was hiding in the depths of ‘New Gold Mountain’. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to such a stupid strategy to exhaust the subordinates that he had accumulated for more than ten years.

The ‘contract’ did not tell him all the intelligence. After all, he was just a demon and a dog of the ‘contract’.

But the strength of almost a hundred soldiers was not enough to reverse the collapse of the city.

Besides, the defenders did not know how many soldiers were on the attacking side, nor did they know whether or not there were regular troops behind them who were preparing to reap the benefits.

Therefore, after the magnetic explosive infantry broke through a gap, a large number of tanks, infantry tanks, and power armors flooded out like a tide, protecting the old, the weak, the women, and the children and breaking through the siege.

The ‘New Gold Mountain’ was doomed to fail. The ecological circulation system of the entire city had been broken. Even if the attackers were wiped out, it would still be difficult for the naturally delicate underground people to survive in such a harsh environment. It was better to move to another underground city while they still had the strength.

These days, although human lives were not worth much, healthy adults who had not been seriously contaminated by radiation and did not have the slightest deformity or mutation were still very popular. Living under someone else’s roof in other underground metropolises, even if they were slaves or soldiers, was certainly not as good as living in their own home, but it was also the least bad choice when they had no other options.

The situation immediately turned into one of fear. Boss Gold Tooth did not want to risk his assets, and the defenders did not want to waste too much of their strength during the break-out. However, since the two parties were locked in a fierce battle, how could they stop at the same time? Together with the fleeing bandits and the new soldiers, the collapsing underground rock stratums, and the exploding gas tubes, the scene could not have been more chaotic.

But it was none of Bai Xiaolu’s business.

The moment Boss Gold Tooth disappeared in the ocean of blue electric arcs, he had turned around and run away under the command of his brother.

It was a pity that his luck seemed to have run out when he was picking up the trophies. Not long after he ran, he encountered a serious explosion of gas pipes. The entire road was blocked, and even he was almost swallowed by the flames.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood and dust, he took a few detours, only to run into the fleeing soldiers, the teams that were trying to break out of the siege, or the collapsing rocks that almost smashed him into a meat pie.

The sounds of battle behind him were getting louder and louder. The battle zone was moving toward him.

Bai Xiaolu was so anxious that she hated herself for not growing two more legs in the radiation mutation.

“Wait—”

His brother suddenly stopped him. “Little Lu, look at the center of the city. A lot of rock stratums are collapsing. It won’t be long before the underground metropolis is completely destroyed!”

“So what?

Bai Xiaolu did not understand why her brother was talking about that all of a sudden. After more than half a month of bombardment and the fierce battle inside the city, it was perfectly normal that the rock stratums above the city collapsed because of the overwhelming pressure.

“I know that both the ‘Alliance’ and the ‘Contract’ are still in the early stages of development. The residents of every underground metropolis are not necessarily connected to each other. That is to say, the identity data of the residents of ‘New Gold Mountain’ is stored in one of the databases in this place at best. When the city collapses, it is very likely to be destroyed!

The brother pondered for a moment and said, “Little Lu, find the body of a resident of ‘New Gold Mountain’ who is similar to us. Take off his identity bracelet, his identity card, and put on his clothes!”

Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. She immediately understood what her brother meant.

“Are we going to sneak into the ‘New Gold Mountain’ and escape?”

He asked while he groped the body.

“Yes. Right now, it seems that the defenders are more likely to break out of the siege successfully. Besides, their organization will not be very tight. In the chaos, nobody will care who we are. By then, it will be much easier for us to get out of the siege team than to run away from Boss Gold Tooth.”

His brother explained.

It took them ten minutes to find a dead body of a resident with a similar body size. The uniform on the dead body seemed to be the uniform of the ‘New Gold Mountain’, with distinctive features.

Although he did not find the identity card, he still had the wristband. The best part was that the wristband happened to be broken by a bullet. Now, even if he could not read the information inside the wristband, he could still retrieve the pictures and other information.

However, their joy turned to sorrow. Just as they changed into the student uniform of ‘New Gold Mountain’ and put on the broken identification wristband, they suddenly heard a familiar roar coming from nearby. It was Boss Gold Tooth.

He was not dead yet!

At this moment, Boss Gold Tooth seemed to have just taken a hot bath in magma. Half of the metal horn on his head was missing, and his entire body was blackened. The Vulcan Machine Gun was gone, but he was miraculously wearing a plasma cannon on his arm. Faced with three soldiers of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, he was fearless like a god of war.

When Bai Xiaolu saw him, he also saw Bai Xiaolu and the boy’s ‘school uniform’.

The gold-tooth leader’s eyes bulged. He immediately understood Bai Xiaolu’s plan.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Bai Xiaolu had a splitting headache. A devil seemed to be whispering in his ear, asking him to help Boss Gold Tooth.

“Let’s go!”

His brother also activated his own ‘ability’ to fight against the ‘legion’ of Boss Gold Tooth. Bai Xiaolu was immediately back to herself and ran toward the slope of the exit.

“Huh?”

Boss Gold Tooth shouted not far away. Obviously, the collision of the two brainwaves had made him realize a shocking fact—Bai Xiaolu was also an ‘ability user’!

Because of the encounter with Boss Gold Tooth, Bai Xiaolu lost the opportunity to sneak into the team.

He had just escaped from the underground through a slope when he heard the roars of armored vehicles behind him. He turned around and discovered that it was a team of scouts from the Citibank, including the instructors who had been training him over the past few days.

There was no doubt that Boss Gold Tooth had asked them to chase after him.

Of course.

Every ‘ability user’ was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. They were priceless existences. Whether it was roping them in, selling them, or conducting live experiments, they could be exchanged for a hundred times the profit. Now that Boss Gold Tooth had seen through his identity as an ‘ability user’, how could he let them go so easily?

“Get on!”

His brother stimulated Bai Xiaolu’s optic nerves and asked him to pay attention to a motorbike lying on the ground next to him, which had been left by the first wave of attack.

In order to survive in the boundless Ardent Blood Wasteland, learning how to drive a vehicle was as important as learning how to hunt. Even if there were no heavy armored trucks in the barren mountain village where they grew up, there were still a few motorcycles.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thankfully, the motorbike was not damaged by the explosion of the electric arcs just now. Bai Xiaolu rushed out like an arrow released from a bow.

At this moment, a lot of soldiers and break-outs rushed out of the underground.

Some of them were trying to run away, while some others were setting fire to the sky of the desert.

“Where are we going to run to?”

Bai Xiaolu’s eyes turned red when she saw the armored vehicle drawing closer and closer.

The enemy was also spraying bullets around him, picking up countless rocks and slapping his face.

Although she knew that Boss Gold Tooth must have ordered his subordinates to “capture him alive”, Bai Xiaolu was also clear that there were countless methods in the Wasteland called “living hell”.

“Over there!”

His brother asked Bai Xiaolu to turn around and see the black dust storm with electric arcs in the north.

“Thunderstorm!”

Bai Xiaolu gasped. “We ran into a thunderstorm?”

“That’s right.”

His brother smiled. “We were so lucky to run into a thunderstorm.”

Most of the runners, pursuers, and soldiers were shocked by the thunderstorm and hurried to change their direction, even though it was already too late.

But Bai Xiaolu stepped on her motorbike and rushed into the thunderstorm.

BOOM! CRACK!

Thunder rumbled, sand was flying, and rain was pouring. All the extreme weather conditions were interconnecting. For a moment, Bai Xiaolu thought that she was dead and being tortured in the deepest part of hell.

He also saw countless people torn apart by lightning, swallowed by tornadoes, and riddled with holes by the corrosive acid rain.

With her last bit of strength, Bai Xiaolu pressed the two large backpacks on her chest and back.

It was the hope of his sister and the entire village. He would not let go of it even if he had to go to the eighteenth level of hell!

…

An unknown amount of time passed.

There was no telling whether he was blown into hell or heaven by the storm.

Bai Xiaolu struggled to crawl out of the boundless red sand.

Licking his dry lips, he grimaced at the taste of the blood that was mixed with bitterness and sweetness. The two hard packages next to him made him chuckle, too.

The thunderstorm had died down.

He was not dead yet. The item was still there.

Sister, there is still hope for the village.

Then, he saw that a black muzzle was aimed at his eyebrow not far away.

Bai Xiaolu’s smile immediately froze.

“Brother?”

He shouted tentatively.

“I’m here.”

His brother’s voice was very solemn. “I’m too weak to kill him immediately.

“Then—then what do we do?”

Bai Xiaolu was desperate.

The gunman who was holding the gun and aiming at him from seven to eight meters away was a young man around his age. He was also wearing the ragged uniform of a “New Gold Mountain” student. Maybe because he had received an elite education in the underground world and had sufficient nutrition, the young man was apparently much stronger than him. His eyeballs were slightly yellowish-brown, and his eyes were sharp and deep like those of a lizard.

The young man glanced at Bai Xiaolu’s face, uniform, and wristband.

Then, he passed by the two backpacks beside Bai Xiaolu.

“Escaped yesterday?”

The young man asked. His voice was coarse, but it was quite charming.

Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment and nodded quickly.

“We are all on the same side. How about I take half of the food and water?”

The young man asked, which was considered ‘courteous’ under such circumstances.

Faced with a gun, there was nothing Bai Xiaolu could do except nod her head.

The young man whistled. He finally put down his gun and forced a smile.

“Let’s get to know each other. My father is the laboratory supervisor of ‘Gold Mountain Clean Water Company’.”

The young man took out an identity card from his pocket and snapped it toward Bai Xiaolu to prove his identity. “My name is ‘Thousand Treasures Sea’.”

There was no need to say anything else. How delicious!
