"He's dying."
Back beside his sleeping bag, the brother who had been silent all this time suddenly said to Bai Xiaolu in his heart.
"what?"
Bai Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, "You mean... Boss Gold Tooth?"
"Yes."
The brother said, "In the past few days, I have been thinking about the physical condition of Boss Gold Tooth, including his monster-like recovery ability that is far beyond human limits.
"Of course, many demons have been stimulated by excessive radiation, and their genes have mutated, and they all have extremely powerful recovery and self-healing abilities, not to mention the mysterious 'capable'. If this demonic 'capable' is still A former elite Navy SEAL, it's no surprise that anything happened to him.
"It's just that, no matter the demons, the 'capable' or the elite SEALs, they must follow the law of the wasteland, no, it is the law of this world.
"Any benefit has a price, how much you gain, how much you lose, there is no 'unintentionally fallen pieces of meat', the boss of Gold Tooth has repeatedly killed bloody roads from desperate situations, and heals all over his body in just half a day. A large amount of blood and even organs can still be beaten, carried, run and jumped—what price did he pay for such a terrible 'benefit'?"
"What, what price?"
Bai Xiaolu swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty.
"Life, I doubt it very much. Boss Jinya sacrificed his life in exchange for a short period of 'resurrection'."
The elder brother said, "Have you paid attention to Yuri's 'Mind Notes', the content between pages 47 and 49—Stimulate brain cells with supreme will, control the secretion of various hormones in the body, produce more The 'Strengthening Needle' and 'Stimulant Potion' have better effects, greatly improving the self-healing ability and physiological function in a short period of time, so that soldiers who are seriously injured can 'return to the light' and get up to continue fighting.
"It's like pouring a spoonful of fuel into a fire that is about to go out, making the dim flame brighter than before, yes, 'burning life', that's exactly how I feel, Boss Gold Tooth is desperately Burning life, I would rather overdraw all the cells in my body, and maintain the normal and strong surface, that's it!
"But even a strong man like him, it is impossible to maintain the state of 'burning madly, returning to light' for too long. When he taught us the 'power of heart' just now, I clearly felt his brain waves and... life magnetic field Both are very disorganized and weaker than yesterday.
"According to this rate of exhaustion, he won't be able to hold on for long, and he will definitely die."
"This-"
Bai Xiaolu naturally believed in his elder brother's judgment, but he was extremely unwilling to believe in his elder brother's judgment. He didn't know why, obviously, he and Jinya Boss were just using each other, and the other party was a hundred times more fierce than "Master Snake", but he , but he didn't want to see the golden tooth boss die like "Master Snake", "Could it be a mistake, he's as strong as a rhinoceros, so it's not that easy to die, right?"
"Is there a difference?"
My brother smiled, "Even if you don't die, it's just overdrawn, and you can never return to the previous toughness and domineering. Is there a difference?"
Bai Xiaolu instantly understood what his brother meant.
Boss Gold Tooth is the overlord of the wilderness, a powerful man with a strong reputation. While gaining the surrender and fear of everyone, of course he also forged countless blood feuds and conflicts of interest that were more intense than hatred.
It is extremely cold at the heights, and it is either an overlord or a dead body. For a strong man like Jinya Boss, even three to five points of weakness is unacceptable, let alone being seriously injured and losing most of his strength - this will only Let him fall into the literal sense of "life is worse than death".
"But-"
Bai Xiaolu thought he understood, but when he thought about it carefully, he became even more confused, "Since the boss Jinya is about to die, what is he going to do with taking us through the 'Beihuang No Man's Land'? Why don't you accept it? Wan Zanghai’s suggestion is to escort the ‘advanced water purification technology’ to the ‘Alliance’, maybe the Allies can cure him, doesn’t it mean that the underground medical technology is very developed, and any disease can be cured?”
"That's different."
My brother said, "Of course, the medical technology of the 'Entente' and the 'Alliance' is unimaginably advanced, but the golden tooth boss didn't get sick, he just burned his life out, and his organs are on the verge of failure and collapse. , he was 'dying' without any devices or medicines to bring him back to life."
"Then where is he going?"
Bai Xiaolu couldn't figure it out, "It doesn't mean that he intentionally went to the 'Beihuang No Man's Land' to commit suicide, so you can help us by the way?"
"I have no idea."
Brother said, "However, just half a month ago, I heard a caravan from the north brought a very interesting gossip - it is said that at the end of the 'Northern Desolate No Man's Land', a very The mysterious new 'Entente' special forces."
"After a long time, Boss Jinya still wants to find the covenanter!"
Bai Xiaolu felt very uncomfortable, "Is he still going to hand over the 'cutting-edge water purification technology' to the 'agreement'? He was obviously screwed by the 'agreement'!"
"Who knows?"
My brother said, "After all, he once fought for Citigroup, and the 'Entente' was built on the wreckage of Citigroup's collapse, with the strength of the original Citigroup as the main body."
"But didn't he say that he no longer believes in Citigroup, 'Hope on the Hill', or 'Great Again'?"
Bai Xiaolu said, "Didn't he say that the reason why he wore the Citigroup and chanted 'MAGA' was just to deceive the 'agreement' and try to get more benefits for himself? Didn't he say that he should never give up for any flags and rhetoric?" Sacrifice? Why, he risked his life again, no, he was doomed to sacrifice his own life and hand over the 'cutting-edge water purification technology' to the treaty?"
"Ha ha."
My brother said, "Perhaps, he is that kind of person."
Bai Xiaolu asked: "What kind of person?"
"There is only one kind of person in the world."
Brother said, "A duplicity."
Bai Xiaolu was silent for a long time.
"So-"
The boy continued to ask, "Why did he pass on Yuri's 'mind notes' to us completely, even at the cost of consuming his own brainwaves and life magnetic fields that are about to be exhausted, to help us feel the mysteries of the spiritual world, and also his famous stunt 'Legion', break it all down and tell us carefully."
"Maybe it's a new fraudulent method, using us to test the limits of the 'Legion'; maybe it's gaining our trust and using us for greater benefits; maybe it's sincerely making friends with us, hoping that we can help him revive the Citi Gang."
The elder brother said, "I only know that if this goes on like this, within a few days, each other will lose its strength, and maybe we will be able to kill him in a spiritual confrontation.
"How about it, little deer, will you kill him then?"
"I?"
Bai Xiaolu panicked, subconsciously said, "Brother is the 'capable person', but I am not!"
"What if you were?"
The elder brother said, "If you had the ability to kill him, would you do it?"
"I have no idea."
Bai Xiaolu thought for a long time, then sighed distressedly, "Brother, you decide, I will listen to you."
"I-"
The elder brother remained silent, changed from his usual calmness and indifference, and said in a daze, "I don't know either."
…
They walked for another three days in the sand and dust of the Northern Wilderness.
The destination that could be reached by off-road vehicles in a day and night is still far away. All food and compressed drinking water are exhausted, and bandages and medicines have not been changed for a long time. And the spirit is approaching the limit again.
The wind and clouds on the wasteland are like a banshee in the deep sea, luring them and tormenting them—sometimes, an oasis will appear indistinctly in front of them, and sometimes, there will be big silver cities emerging, At least it is a settlement with smoke from cooking. However, when they gathered all their will and strength and ran to search for it, they realized that it was an illusion or a mirage. , wind and sand and wind and sand.
Trapped in a world of sandstorms and despair, they became, to a certain extent, comrades-in-arms in a ditch. Even though the golden tooth boss was still so domineering, he did not force the two brats to carry too much burden, even They didn't even give them a sip of water. After all, the two little ghosts still had what he wanted most. If they accidentally killed the little ghost, he was the only one who suffered. When the sandstorm hit, the three of them even had to wrap up tightly. Living in the same piece of windproof canvas, digging and struggling constantly, can prevent yourself from being completely buried by wind and sand.
Maybe Gold Tooth Boss has also considered whether to kill one of the little ghosts, drink blood and eat meat to replenish his strength when he has no other choice.
But the small black dots hovering high in the sky behind him made him temporarily dismiss this idea.
The falcons of the vulture gang are getting closer and closer to them, and nine out of ten have discovered their existence.
Gold Tooth Boss alone, a polished commander, cannot deal with the Scorpion Gang and the Vulture Gang, at least someone needs to help him contain and harass him.
"Then, what is that!"
On the third morning, when the three of them were exhausted and were about to give up, a forest of silvery metal suddenly appeared on the left side of the dry river ahead.
Bai Xiaolu squinted his eyes and observed carefully, only to find that it was a large wind turbine towering into the sky.
It's just that they were attacked by high heat and shock waves in a nuclear war, and they all melted, broke, and collapsed to the ground.
"It's a power station. I recognize this place. I have been here before the war. There is a large winery nearby!"
The red prosthetic eye of the golden tooth boss kept adjusting, making sure that he really saw the distorted wind turbine and not a mirage. Even he couldn't help being ecstatic, "We're saved!"
The three of them looked at each other, suddenly shouted, and ran towards the wind power station together.
The white deer ran too fast and fell halfway.
Regardless of the pain in the wound, he got up with both hands and feet, and when he was about to continue moving forward, he suddenly stepped on a hard object under his feet, making a soft "ding".
The golden tooth boss stopped abruptly, turned around and gave Bai Xiaolu a hard look.
"do not move!"
His red prosthetic eyes almost burned a hole in Bai Xiaolu's body, "Don't move, mine."
