From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1040
Chapter 1040 A Man On Horseback
“I don’t have enough time to love you properly. I should have stopped playing romantic games long ago. Before love and hate disappear, use your hands to warm my face …”
Chen Guangda sang affectionately with an old-fashioned tape recorder. Qiqi Ge even danced around him and sang, bringing into full play the grassland people’s dancing talent. Although Chen Guangda’s singing wasn’t pleasant, his rough voice was filled with the unique charm of a male, fascinating many girls who were just beginning to fall in love.
“Ji Ya! You … why are you crying …”
Ba Tu looked at Lin Na in astonishment. Lin Na, who was sitting beside the fire, had tears streaming down her face. However, Lin Na looked at Chen Guangda sadly and said, “I don’t know, but he always gave me a very familiar feeling. When he sang, my heart started to tremble, as if … it was like I was separated from my lover!”
“What the hell is he singing? It’s so ugly …”
Ba Tu immediately clenched his fists and glared at Chen Guangda. He saw Qiqig’s eyes filled with love. A strong man beside him was already filled with anger. He immediately walked up and said, “Jeddah! Qiqig is going to be your bride. Are you going to let her flirt with an outsider like this?”
“Hmph ~ I must give him some color to see …”
Jeddah smashed down the wine bowl in his hand and kicked the tape recorder away. Then, he pulled off his robe and roared angrily, “Outsiders! Did you know that Qiqig is my woman? You dare to seduce her in front of so many people? I want to compete with you in wrestling. Whoever wins is qualified to pursue Qiqig!”
“Brother! I think you misunderstood. Qiqi Ge and I are pure friends …”
Chen Guangda looked at him embarrassedly. He didn’t expect that singing a song would cause him to be so coquettish. Qiqig also shouted, “Jida! Scram aside, who agreed to be your woman? If you want to fall, just come straight at me. Big Brother Zhao’s injuries haven’t healed yet. What kind of ability do you have to bully a patient of his?”
“If I don’t talk to you, I’ll ask him if you dare to compete with me. If you don’t dare, stay away from Qiqi Ge …”
Jeddah pushed Qiqig away and glared at Chen Guangda fiercely. Chen Guangda could only nod his head in confusion and say, “Brother Jeddah, I’m sure I can’t beat you if you’re so powerful. Furthermore, I also feel that you two are a perfect match for each other. As long as Qiqig is willing, she will be yours!”
“I don’t want to. Even if I die, I won’t marry this stupid bear …”
Qiqig straightened his chest angrily and stuck out his tongue to make a ghost face. But Jida suddenly laughed, “Haha! Everyone can see that these outsiders are all cowards. They don’t even have the courage to wrestle. All the women on the grassland open their eyes and take a good look. We grassland men are real men!”
“Zhao Ziwen! Are you still a man? A fall won’t kill you. Don’t make us lose face with you …”
Many foreign men shouted resentfully. Jeddah’s words counted them all in, but Lin Na quickly stood up and said, “His injuries haven’t healed yet. Didn’t you let him fall on purpose to bully others? I think everyone should continue singing and dancing. It’s barely possible for a man to be in love with a woman!”
“Jeddah! Let him have one hand, don’t break him …”
Ba Tu glared at Chen Guangda relentlessly. It was obvious that he was not pleasing to the eye long ago. Jeddah also raised his hand and sneered repeatedly. Chen Guangda could only sigh and say, “Say yes first, let’s stop there. Whoever falls first will lose, but no matter who wins or loses, you are not allowed to blush!”
“Don’t worry, little boy, I won’t hurt you …”
Jeddah proudly put his left hand behind his back. However, no one was optimistic about Chen Guangda. After all, Jeddah was a typical strong Mongolian man. His fat body was estimated to be at least 200 jin, and he was more than one lap stronger than Chen Guangda.
“I’m talking about you …”
Chen Guangda shook his head with a laugh and a cry. Jeddah immediately roared and pounced on him, using the most authentic Mongolian style of wrestling. Chen Guangda resisted the urge to break his throat and suddenly bent down and threw himself into his embrace. With a “dong” sound, he fell to the ground.
“…”
The scene instantly fell silent for a few seconds. No one expected Chen Guangda to throw Jeddah down. Although the two of them fell to the ground together, Jeddah acted as a cushion for Chen Guangda. However, Ba Tu hurriedly shouted, “Both of them fell to the ground at the same time. Get up and fall again!”
“Ah! I’m going to tear you apart …”
Ba Tu’s guard did not save Jeddah’s face. Jeddah immediately jumped up and roared. He directly opened his arms and pounced towards Chen Guangda again. However, Chen Guangda did not want to embarrass him too much. Otherwise, he would have just attacked him ruthlessly. He could only pretend to stagger and grab Jeddah’s arms and twist him to the ground.
“…”
Everyone was dumbfounded again. This time, it was Jeddah who was the backrest of Chen Guangda. Jeddah was lying firmly on the ground, but Chen Guangda hurriedly shouted, “Thank you, brother Jeddah. You would rather fall than protect me from injury. Your fearless spirit moved me too much. Brother, I am willing to give in!”
“You …”
Jeddah’s face turned red and white. Chen Guang had mostly said this. If he didn’t appreciate it, he wouldn’t be able to appreciate it anymore. However, Ba Tu snorted coldly, “It seems like you have some skills. Then let me have a fight with you. If you can throw me down, my title as a Prairie Warrior will be yours!”
“No, no! My head is a little dizzy. I must have just fallen into a concussion …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly covered his forehead and squatted on the ground. He didn’t want to be called a Prairie Warrior. If he could run faster than anyone else, he wouldn’t have expected the sound of a horse galloping from a distance. He heard someone shouting in alarm, “Wolves! Wolves are coming! Get ready for battle!”
“Wolf pack? What wolf pack …”
Chen Guangda raised his head in astonishment, but before he could react, everyone scattered. They rushed into the tent and picked up knives, spears, and sticks. Even the earth spears were taken out. Qiqig said anxiously, “It’s a pack of corpse wolves. They’re our biggest enemies. You should go hide in the stone house!”
“Hey hey! Give me a spear, I can also beat a wolf …”
Just as Chen Guangda stood up and wanted to find a good weapon, Qiqi Ge pulled him into a stone house and pushed him in. She picked up a bow and arrow, mounted a date horse and followed the men.
“Quickly close the door. If the corpse wolf rushes in, it would be incredible …”
A few sturdy old ladies hurriedly closed the door and used several top bars to tightly close the door. When Chen Guangda looked back helplessly, the room was filled with women and children. Lin Na also stood behind with an oil lamp and said, “Don’t worry, everyone has a lot of experience in dealing with corpse wolves. We can just wait here peacefully!”
“Ai ~ Why didn’t you treat me like an injured person when I first fell …”
Chen Guangda leaned against the wall helplessly. Although Lin Na’s words were relaxed, everyone’s expressions were clearly nervous. Several women who were watching from the small window clenched their fists tightly. Many people were still praying for their men in low voices.
“Bang Bang Bang …”
A series of gunshots suddenly rang out from outside, followed by a loud roar and horse hiss. Chen Guangda hurriedly squeezed to the small window and looked outside. Under the flickering spear flames, he could only see hundreds of horses galloping back and forth on the grassland. There were also many extremely fast black shadows shuttling among them.
“Not good!”
Chen Guangda suddenly cried out in alarm. He saw a few corpse wolves suddenly jump up. They actually fell to the ground together with their horses. The screams of people and horses resounded throughout the world in almost an instant, and this scene was still going on. The horses were constantly thrown to the ground by the corpse wolves, and in the blink of an eye, they were torn to pieces.
“Why are there so many corpse wolves? What should we do?”
Many women were already crying anxiously. Without another word, Chen Guangda removed the top bar and picked up a steel fork by the door. However, Lin Na grabbed him and shouted, “No! Listen carefully, there must be a horse running behind us. It must be a bandit coming!”
“Bandits? Where did they come from …”
Chen Guangda turned around in shock, but Lin Na anxiously said, “This place is only four days away from the Lower Six Continents of the Evil Man Desert. The Lower Six Continents are filled with bandits. They used to come here to harass us. These corpse wolves must have been lured over by them. We must have fallen for their trap!”
Before Lin Na could finish his words, the sound of horse hooves coming from behind became louder and louder. Even an amateur like Chen Guangda could tell that there were no fewer than a hundred of them. He immediately said, “Turn out the lights immediately. Everyone stay here and don’t go out. Ji Ya, follow me to pull the tripping cord. You must persevere until everyone returns!”
“Alright!”
Lin Na hurriedly blew out the oil lamp in her hand, took another bundle of hemp ropes, and rushed out with Chen Guangda. She directly pulled a few stumbling blocks in the main passage, but before they could lay a few more, the bandits’ horses cried out and killed them.
“Brothers! Steal money, food, and women for me, hahaha …”
The hundreds of horses swept over like a whirlwind. After the leader, Big Beard, laughed strangely, a large number of torches were immediately thrown onto the tent. Soon, the tent was burned into huge balls of flames.
“Dong dong dong …”
Suddenly! Several galloping horses fell to the ground one after another, directly throwing the knights on their backs away. These unlucky people were caught in a stumbling block, while Chen Guangda, who was in the corner, rushed out. He swung his steel fork and stabbed wildly. In the blink of an eye, these unlucky people were stabbed into a blood sieve.
“Hurry up and do it! What are you still waiting for …”
Chen Guangda threw out the steel fork in his hand and fiercely stabbed a bandit who was pouncing on Lin Na. However, Lin Na was completely at a loss with a steel saber in her arms. She was not as fierce as she had been before.
Chen Guangda immediately rushed over and shouted angrily, “Can you put away your goddamn sympathy? These scum aren’t worth your pity. Think about what those people in the Aquarium did to you. If you don’t kill them today, they will kill you!”
“You know me! You already know me, don’t you? You just said the Aquarium …”
Lin Na’s entire body suddenly trembled as she glared at Chen Guangda with shock. Chen Guangda was also shocked. He didn’t expect that he would slip out of his mouth, but he still pushed Lin Na aside and shouted, “You heard wrong. I didn’t say anything about an ocean pavilion. You should hurry back and protect everyone. I’m fine here!”
“No! You said that you must know me. Who am I?”
Lin Na shouted anxiously, but Chen Guangda picked up a steel knife without turning his head and charged towards the bandits without hesitation. Lin Na finally gritted her teeth and chopped at a newly dismounted bandit.
