“He is going to die.”
Returning to his sleeping bag, his brother, who had been silent, suddenly said to Bai Xiaolu in his heart.
“What?”
Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. “You mean… Boss Gold Tooth?”
“Yes.”
His brother said, “Over the past few days, I’ve been studying Boss Gold Tooth’s body condition, including his recovery ability that far exceeds the limits of human beings.
“Of course, many demons, after being stimulated by excessive radiation and having their genes mutate, boast amazing recovery and self-recovery abilities, not to mention the mysterious ‘persons’. If the ‘persons’ of the demon race were the old elite Navy Seals, it wouldn’t be strange if anything happened to them.
“However, the demons, the ‘persons’, and the elite Navy Seals must abide by the rules of the desert, no, the world.
“Every benefit has a price. No matter how much you get, no matter how much you lose, you won’t be able to get ‘unintentionally dropped minced meat’. Boss Gold Tooth has fought his way out of desperate situations time and time again. His body is covered in wounds, but he can recover within half a day. He has lost a lot of blood and even organs, but he can still fight, carry, run, and jump. What kind of price has he paid to receive such terrifying ‘benefits’?
“What—what price?”
Bai Xiaolu swallowed and asked with difficulty.
“I have every reason to believe that Boss Gold Tooth sacrificed his life in exchange for the last radiance of life.
His brother said, “Did you pay attention to the content between page 47 and page 49 in Yuri’s notes? It is about stimulating the braincells with unparalleled willpower and controlling the secretion of various hormones inside the body to produce better results than the ‘cardiac-strengthening needles’ and the ‘exhilarating drugs’. The self-healing ability and physiological functions will be significantly improved in a short period of time, so that the heavily wounded soldiers will be able to stand up and continue fighting.
“It was like pouring a ladle of fuel into a dying fire to make it brighter than before. Yes. Burning of life. That’s what I felt. Boss Gold Tooth was burning his life without caring about anything else. He was willing to overdraft all the cells in his body in order to maintain the normalness and strength on the surface. That’s all!
“But even for a muscular man such as himself, it is impossible for him to maintain the state of ‘crazy burning’ for too long. When he taught us the ‘strength of the heart’, I clearly felt that his brainwaves and… his vitality were in a mess. He was even weaker than yesterday.
“At this rate, he won’t be able to hold on for long. He’s dead for sure.”
“Well—”
Bai Xiaolu naturally believed in her brother’s judgement, but she was not willing to believe in her brother’s judgement. She did not know why, but although she and Boss Gold Tooth were merely taking advantage of each other, and Boss Gold Tooth was hundreds of times more brutal than ‘Master Snake’, she did not want to see Boss Gold Tooth die like ‘Master Snake’. “Is there a mistake? He is as strong as a rhino. He won’t die so easily, will he?”
“Is there a difference?”
The brother smiled. “Even if you don’t die, you will be too exhausted to return to your previous toughness and dominance. Is there a difference?”
Bai Xiaolu immediately understood what her brother meant.
Boss Gold Tooth was the dominator of the desert and a well-known expert. While he earned everybody’s respect and fear, he also established countless grudges and conflicts of interest that were even more intense than hatred.
It was cold at the peak. They were either dominators or dead bodies. For an expert such as Boss Gold Tooth, even being weakened by 30-50% was unacceptable, not to mention being seriously wounded and losing most of his strength, which would only make him suffer a living hell.
“But—”
Bai Xiaolu thought that she had figured it out. But on second thought, she was even more confused. “Since Boss Gold Tooth is about to die, what is he trying to do by taking us through the ‘Northern Desolate Area’? Why didn’t he accept the proposal of Wan Zanghai to escort the cutting-edge water-cleaning technology to the ‘Alliance’? Maybe the Alliance has a way to cure him. Isn’t it said that the underground medical technology is very advanced and can treat any disease?”
“That’s different.”
His brother said, “Of course, the medical technology of the ‘Cooperation’ and the ‘Alliance’ is unimaginably advanced. But Boss Gold Tooth is not sick. He is merely burning his life away. His organs are all on the verge of collapse. He is ‘dying’. No equipment or drugs can revive him.”
“Then where is he going?”
Bai Xiaolu couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought about it. “He didn’t come to the ‘Northern Desolate Area’ to commit suicide on purpose and drag us down with him, did he?”
“I don’t know.”
The brother said, “However, half a month ago, I heard a very interesting rumor from a caravan from the north. It is said that a very mysterious special force named ‘Association’ was stationed at the end of the ‘Northern Wilderness’.
“After all this time, Boss Gold Tooth is still going to find a new partner!”
Bai Xiaolu was not very happy. “Is he going to hand over the ‘new water purification technology’ to the ‘contract’? He has clearly been cheated by the ‘contract’!”
“Nothing is certain.
His brother said, “After all, he once fought for the Citi, and the ‘contract’ was established on the remains of the collapsed Citi and was based on the original strength of the country.
“But didn’t he say that he no longer believed in ‘hope at the top of the mountain’ or ‘greatness again’?”
Bai Xiaolu said, “Didn’t he say that he was wearing Citi and shouting ‘MAGA’ because he wanted to cheat the ‘contract’ and get more benefits for himself? Didn’t he say that he would absolutely not sacrifice himself for any flag or fancy words? Why did he have to risk his life? No. Why was he destined to sacrifice his own life and hand over the cutting-edge water-cleaning technology to the negotiators?”
“Hehe.”
His brother said, “Maybe, he is that kind of person.”
Bai Xiaolu asked, “What kind of person?”
“There is only one kind of person in the world.
His brother replied, “A man of two minds.”
Bai Xiaolu was silent for a long time.
“Then—”
The boy continued asking, “Why did he teach us all of Yuri’s notes? Why did he help us sense the mysteries of the mind world at the cost of his brainwaves and the vitality magnetic field that was running dry? Why did he disseminate his most famous skill, Legion, and explain it to us?”
“Maybe it is a new trick to test the limits of the ‘ Legion’. Maybe it is trying to win our trust and get more benefits from us. Maybe it is trying to make friends with us sincerely, hoping that we can help him revive the Citigroup.
His brother said, “I only know that, if things go on like this, we might be able to eliminate him in the mental confrontation within a few days.
“What do you think, Little Lu? Will you kill him?”
“Me?”
Bai Xiaolu panicked and said subconsciously, “Brother is the ‘manipulator’, and I’m not!”
“What if you are?”
His brother asked, “If you are capable of killing him, will you do it?”
“I… don’t know.”
Bai Xiaolu thought for a long time and sighed in distress. “Brother, you decide. I’ll listen to you.”
“I—”
His brother was silent. His usual calmness and indifference were gone. He replied in confusion, “I don’t know.”
…
They walked in the dust for another three days.
Their destination, which could have been reached by an off-road vehicle in a day and a night, was still far away. Their food and water had run out. Their bandages and medication had not been changed for a long time. Their faces were pale, their lips dry, and their wounds smelly. Their physical and mental strength were close to their limits again.
The wind and clouds on the desert were tempting and tormenting them like a banshee in the deep sea. Sometimes, an oasis appeared vaguely in front of them, and sometimes a silver city, or at least a settlement where smoke was popping up, appeared in front of them. However, when they gathered all their willpower and strength to look for it, they discovered that it was an illusion or a mirage. In front of them was a sandstorm, in front of them was still a sandstorm, and in front of them was still a sandstorm, a sandstorm, and a sandstorm.
They were trapped in a world of wind, sand, and desperation. To a certain extent, they had become comrades in a trench. Although Boss Gold Tooth was as tough as before, he did not force the two kids to carry too much weight. He did not even let them drink half a mouthful of water. After all, the two kids still had what he wanted most. If he accidentally killed the two kids, he would be the one to suffer. When the dust storm came, the three of them even had to cover the same canvas and dig and struggle to keep themselves from being buried by the wind and sand.
Maybe, Boss Gold Tooth had considered whether or not he should kill one of the kids to replenish his strength.
But the black spots hovering in the sky behind him made him give up the idea temporarily.
The Vulture Gang’s falcons were getting closer and closer to them. It was very likely that they had discovered their existence.
Boss Gold Tooth alone was not enough to deal with the Scorpion Gang and the Vulture Gang. Somebody had to stall and harass them for him.
“What—what is that?”
On the morning of the third day, when the three of them were exhausted and about to give up, a forest of shining silver metal suddenly appeared on the left side of the dried river.
Bai Xiaolu squinted and observed carefully, only to discover that it was a large wind turbine that soared into the sky.
However, they were all melted, broken, and collapsed in the heat and blast during the nuclear war.
“It’s a power station. I recognize the place. I’ve been here before the war. There’s a fairly large winery nearby!”
The red eyes of the leader of the Gold Teeth Clan adjusted themselves to make sure that he was really seeing a twisted wind generator instead of a mirage. Even he was overjoyed. “We are saved!”
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, they shouted and ran toward the wind power station together.
Bai Xiaolu ran too fast and fell down halfway.
Ignoring the pain from his wounds, he crawled up on all fours. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly stepped on something hard, which made a “ding” sound.
Boss Gold Tooth suddenly stopped. He turned around and glared at Bai Xiaolu.
“Don’t move!”
His red eye almost burnt a hole in Bai Xiaolu’s body. “Don’t move, Landmine.”
