Last Totem Novel - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Commitment
After Tie Zha closes the metal door, You Ge starts to look at the woman in front of him. She was less than 1.7 meters tall, her wheat-colored skin shone brightly, and her face was stained with tears that had yet to dry. She looked somewhat charming. However, even in such an environment, her eyes still revealed a trace of charm.

“Fox spirit.” You Ge mutters to himself in a low voice, “I really should have shot him just now.”

The woman hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be obedient.

“What’s your name? What are you doing here? Who are these people?” You Ge asks a series of questions in a low voice.

The woman hurriedly answered her question. Her name was Ye Xinling. She came from Sand City and was a member of the Blackstone Mercenary Group. Last month, Guild Leader Blackstone received reliable information that the Lin Clan of Sand City possessed the coordinates of the Natasha Research Laboratory. It was estimated that they would head to the Endless Sand Sea to search for the research facility in the near future. As a result, she approached the lecherous Lin Tianhua and joined the exploration team. It is said that Tasha’s research facility rises to the ground every few years for half a month of solar cell charging. In the meantime, the research will turn on the signal jammer and disturb the nearby positioner.

The jammer’s function was two-way, it could not only disturb but also let the seekers find the approximate location.

This morning, they finally found the research facility. Before she came in, she threw a signal transmitter in the sand at the door so that the Blackstone Mercenary Group could find them. As for the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group that had appeared afterwards, she did not know how the other party had discovered this place. It was estimated that they had followed the Blackstone Mercenary Group.

“What is your goal?” You Ge asks.

Ye Xinling shook her head, “I don’t know, they didn’t tell me anything.”

“How about this ~” You Ge suddenly pulls out his pistol, pulls open the safety bolt and points at Ye Xinling, gritts his teeth and says, “I’ll give you another chance.”

Ye Xinling hurriedly opened the cabinet she was hiding in and pulled out a white suitcase. She said in a trembling voice, “The thing they are looking for is here. I really don’t know what it is.”

The white suitcase was carved with a line of words. You Ge lightly touched the line of words and lowered her eyes to read out unfamiliar syllables. It was an indescribable pronunciation, as if it came from an ancient language.

Just as You Ge was absent-minded, Ye Xinling suddenly attacked and pointed a pistol at her.

“Retreat!” Ye Xinling threatened.

You Ge raises her hands and retreats. Ye Xinling picks up the white suitcase and smiles coldly. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a burst of intense pain suddenly came from her abdomen, as if countless ants were biting her intestines. Her entire body trembled from the pain. In an instant, Koi lost all of his strength and his gun-wielding arm weakly dropped down.

“Do you still remember the eggs in your stomach?” A faint voice came from behind Ye Xinling. Along with this magical voice, her intense abdominal pain disappeared without a trace. If it wasn’t for the pain at that moment that she would never forget, perhaps she would have thought that what happened just now was a dream.

“You are … you are …” Ye Xinling pointed at Tie Zha trembling and muttered absentmindedly. You Ge takes the opportunity to rush up and snatch her pistol. She did not resist. She looked as if she had lost her soul. Even if she was robbed of her pistol, she did not come back to her senses.

“I don’t like to talk nonsense. You can do it yourself.” Tie Zha ignores the dazed Ye Xinling and turns to You Ge and says, “I’ll give you an hour.” With that, he swept a clean spot on the test bench and began to collect guns, bullets, and money from the mercenary corpses. Soon, there were more than ten MP5s, twenty 9mm magazines, two fragment grenades, and a small pile of silver coins neatly placed on the test bench. Then, Tie Zha picked out three of the dozen or so MP5s, and swept the rest in a pile.

After doing all of this, Tie Zha sat on the test bench and watched You Ge fiddling with the computers and instruments in the lab. After looking at it for a while, Tie Zha was shocked to discover that You Ge was very skilled in using computers and instruments, and could find the right switch without hesitation. What surprised him even more was that You Ge seemed to know the location of the items in the entire laboratory like the palm of his hand, as if he had been here before and was very familiar with everything here. Recalling the place where You Ge found Ye Xinling hiding just now, a thought flashed through his mind.

“You Ge, how did you know where she was hiding just now?” Tie Zha asked seemingly unintentionally.

“A woman’s sixth sense ~ I think only by hiding there can she survive.” You Ge operates the computer and says without looking back.

“I see that you are very familiar with this place, as if you know where everything is placed.” Tie Zha’s question was so blunt that Ye Xinling, who was still in a daze, came back to her senses and glanced at You Ge.

You Ge concentrates on looking at the broken computer screen and doesn’t seem to recognize the meaning behind his words. She replied casually, “This place is the same as the laboratory in the university, and the location of the instruments is about the same.”

Iron slag frowned. He thought for a moment, perhaps he was overthinking it. Although it is impossible for You Ge to have been here before, her performance does not seem to be the kind of person rumored to be. If it was that kind of person, it shouldn’t be able to foolishly drift into the endless sea of sand. In the blink of an eye, Tie Zha saw that Ye Xinling had recovered her spirits and signaled for her to come over. He then picked out an MP5 and handed it to her, asking if she would use it.

Ye Xinling took the gun and opened the safety bolt, then closed the safety bolt. She showed that she could use it with unskilled operation, but she was not skilled. Afterwards, the iron slag found paper and pen in the lab and hastily wrote a piece of paper and stuffed it into her. Next, Tie Zha arranged for her to drive a sand truck to Tie Shan Town and give this note to Big Sister of the Autonomous Committee. Big Sister would take her to the mechanic repair shop to find Old Niu, and then she would stay there and wait for him to come back.

Ye Xinling nodded obediently. The eggs in her stomach were controlled by the demon in front of her. She had no choice but to obey his arrangements.

Tie Zha thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong. He asked her to give the note to Old Di of the Autonomous Committee or Giant Mulberry of the grocery store, and asked one of them to take her to Old Niu.

You Ge overheard the arrangement of the iron slag and immediately pursed his lips into a smile. Tie Zha saw her secretly laughing and felt uncomfortable. He asked in a deep voice, “What did you get after watching for so long?”

Tie Zha’s serious question caused You Ge to laugh even more vigorously, and Ye Xinling, who was standing at the side, was puzzled. She wondered if there was something wrong with this girl’s brain. To dare to be so presumptuous in front of this devil who ignored life, she was really tired of living …

The veins on Tie Zha’s forehead burst out and he was about to get angry. You Ge hurriedly lifted up the white suitcase and said, “The equipment inside is very valuable.”

“How much is it?” “Priceless!” “How much is priceless?” “Priceless is priceless!” “Then it’s worthless?”

The iron slag snatched the white suitcase and threatened to smash it to the ground.

“It can be mounted on a motorcycle.” You Ge hurriedly stopped him.

“What is it for?” Tie Zha put down his suitcase and asked.

“Smart plug-in.” You Ge says a term that Tie Zha has never heard of.

Tie Zha asked, “What is a smart plug-in?” You Ge explains a bunch of scientific terms to him, making him confused and completely confused. After listening for a while, he only remembered a few words: ‘Artificial Intelligence AI’, ‘Natasha’s Data Matrix’, ‘Basic Logical Architecture’, ‘Self-Perfection System’ …

Impatient, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Bullying me for not reading?”

“Bully a barbarian like you.” You Ge’s gaze does not show weakness as he greets them.

The two of them stared at each other, their faces getting closer and closer, their eyes, nose and mouth almost touching each other.

The thin cherry lips of You Ge in front of him were sparkling and translucent, emitting an alluring luster. Tie Zha involuntarily retreated. They were people from two different worlds, and there would be no results. She was just his merchandise, and when she arrived in Sand City, she would be exchanged for a pile of sparkling gold coins. After a moment of hesitation, You Ge’s lips print out, making it impossible for him to hide.

A deep kiss, but in a blink of an eye, the warm feeling was like a sweet wine …

You Ge naughtily winks at him and briskly returns to the computer to continue the operation just now.

This kiss seemed to have never existed, but it was unforgettable.

The iron slag scratched its head as if it wanted to chase this small incident out of its mind.

Ye Xinling looked at the young man and girl in front of her, as if she saw herself in her teenage years …

When did she become like this?

Should she hate her choice, or should she hate the cruelty of this world, or should she hate the heartlessness of her peers, or should she hate this boundless sea of sand …

Iron Slag bored as he began to inspect the 9mm magazines. In fact, he had already inspected the magazines before, eliminating those that had been damaged in the explosion. However, he had to do something to cover up the monstrous waves in his heart.

He lowered his head and fiddled with the magazine, remembering what his foster father had said to him.

“Your goal is to survive, that’s all.”

“Don’t make a promise so easily. Once you make a promise, you must do it as much as possible.”

“When there is no need, try not to kill people, because every life is valuable.”

“But when necessary, you must not be soft-hearted, because mercy to your enemies is cruelty to yourself.”

“In this world, no one has the obligation to treat you well. Other than me, there may also be some relatives you have never met before.”

“Don’t imagine that those above will treat you differently. They have always only paid attention to pure bloodlines. In their eyes, we are like things that can be discarded at any time.”

“Don’t think that love is so beautiful. It’s water and bread. There’s responsibility.”

…

Whenever he was confused, his adoptive father’s words would always ring in his ears.

That experienced old man used his thin body, relying on stubbornness and persistence, to raise him up in this cruel world.

He didn’t leave anything behind for him. He only taught him three things with his actions.

His entire body was filled with courage!

Iron!

His entire body was filled with arrogance!

Tie Zha raised his head and looked at You Ge’s back as he fiddled with the computer. He silently said something in his heart …
