Last Totem Novel - Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Roar
Tie Zha drove his bike to the north gate of Tieshan Town. On the side of the street stood a white light box, with a red cross on the top and the words’ Past Water Years, Immortal Doctor Miaomiao ‘written on the bottom. Tie Zha drove the motorcycle onto the sidewalk and stopped at the entrance of the clinic in Divine Doctor Shui.
“Water Immortal Doctor!” Iron Slag shouted towards the inside.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white coat pushed open the door. He wore a white brimless hat and deep glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving off a very gentle feeling. He looked very happy when he saw Tie Zha. “Tie Zha, how was everything that I told you last time?”
“I’ve been asking around. Small nuclear furnaces are the cutting-edge technology of Silver City. The parts you want are not so easy to find. I heard that they are made of superalloys.” Tie Zha replied.
“Yes, the core part is the superdense alloy. Only that kind of metal can withstand the energy of a nuclear reactor while reducing its weight.” Divine Doctor Shui said excitedly.
“I will continue to inquire.” Tie Zha replied, and then he explained why he had come.
Divine Doctor Shui returned to the clinic to retrieve the kit and explain the quantity and method of use of each drug. The blue drug is used to neutralize the mixed toxin of the scorpion and must be injected intravenously within three minutes of poisoning. The red potion was used to treat Huang Sha Feng’s poisonous thorn. It needed to immediately pick out the poisonous thorn from the wound and give it an intramuscular injection. The purple potion was used to bite all kinds of poisonous insects and was directly applied to the wound.
The Water Narcissus Doctor took out a metal cylinder about ten centimeters long and carefully handed it over to the iron slag. “This is an anabolic steroid stimulant. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary.”
Tie Zha took it with both hands and carefully stuffed it into the bag on his chest. Then, he took out two gold coins and stuffed them into Divine Doctor Shui’s hand. “I’m going to Sand City tomorrow. Is there anything I need to bring?”
The Water Immortal Doctor told him to wait. He returned to the clinic and wrote a note for him. He then stuffed two gold coins back into his pocket and said, “When you arrive in Sand City, you can buy if you have the goods. Forget it if you don’t have the goods.”
Iron slag looked at the dense names of the potions on it and felt his scalp go numb. “I don’t understand. What if he lied to me?”
“You don’t have to go to the black market to buy it. Just buy it at the pharmacy next to Sand City’s City Hall. There won’t be any lies there.”
The iron slag put away the note and bid farewell to the Water Narcissus Doctor. Then, it tightened the throttle and a deep rumble rang out from the engine. A few seconds later, the motorcycle rushed onto the main street and whistled away …
“Have a pleasant trip.” The Water Immortal Doctor said to himself as he looked at the figure of the iron slag.
At the same time, in the stronghold of Tie Zha, the third young miss of the Lombardi family was sulking. She felt painful eating dry bread that was hard to swallow and drinking slightly salty water. Although her treatment was much better than a few days ago, she was still not satisfied. She had never experienced such a thing before. She hadn’t taken a bath for three whole days and her entire body was sticky. It was simply terrible. Unknowingly, she had assumed that the youth had an obligation to fill her stomach with a sumptuous dinner and fill her bathtub with water. So, after she finished eating, she rummaged around the stronghold with this thought in mind. Very quickly, she found a cylindrical stainless steel container at the top of the container. She opened the lid and saw that it was filled with water.
You Ge shouts happily and strips naked and jumps in. “Plop!” The girl’s dazzling white body drilled into the cool water. Every inch of her skin was greedily absorbing moisture. She felt so happy that she almost fainted. She lay lazily on the edge of the stainless steel container and enjoyed the cold and comfortable feeling from her body.
After a few days of exhaustion, she was now comfortably soaking in water. Her entire body relaxed and she slowly fell asleep …
In her dreams, she returned to Silver City’s manor on the seventeenth. In the spacious and luxurious hall, she lay in a pure white bathtub. The teenager knelt on the ground with a plate of fruit and pleaded for a vitamin supplement. She stretched out her slender white feet and hooked the youth’s chin …
Twenty minutes later, Tie Zha drove the motorcycle back. Just as he closed the door, he turned around and saw You Ge lying on the edge of the reservoir asleep. He was instantly dumbfounded. This was his three-month drinking water!
“You Ge!” The iron slag was so angry that its veins burst out and it shouted loudly.
The girl was woken up by the roar and waved to him sleepily, “Little girl, bring me a towel.”
Tie Zha climbed onto the container and walked towards the reservoir step by step. He stepped heavily on the container and let out a’peng peng peng ‘sound.
You Ge looks at the metal slag getting closer and closer, wakes up in shock, and then calms down, “Come and accompany sister to take a bath.”
The iron slag was stunned for a moment before automatically stopping in its tracks. Perhaps it was because of the huge shadow Lena had cast on him that he was somewhat sensitive to the word’sister ‘. You Ge looks at his reaction and laughs even happier. As he splashes water out, he says unscrupulously, “Come quickly come quickly ~”
“Get out!” Tie Zha suddenly woke up and roared angrily. He pulled out his shotgun and opened the barrels with a’cracking ‘sound. He raised his gun and aimed it at the girl.
“Come on, fight me here.” You Ge stretches his neck without fear.
“Be careful of fire!” The iron slag threatened in a deep voice.
You Ge looks at him with a smile. “You’re not loaded. I used this old-fashioned double barrel gun in the training ground.”
Tie Zha’s entire body was in a bad mood. He angrily stepped forward and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the cistern. Then, he smashed the uniform that Lena had given him onto her body and ordered, “Get dressed and scram!”
You Ge slowly changes his clothes and ties up his military belt. The size of the military uniform was slightly larger, requiring the trousers and sleeves to be rolled up. After putting on her clothes, You Ge sees Tie Zha’s back facing away from her. So she stood on tiptoe and tiptoed over. At this moment, Iron Slag turned around and picked her up. Then, he jumped down from the container and threw her on the ground.
“Ah! It hurts!” You Ge’s butt fell heavily to the ground, and his tail crashed into a small stone. In an instant, it hurt so much that she couldn’t stand up. Tie Zha saw her tears flickering in her eyes and hurriedly picked her up. Then, he lowered his head and saw the little pebbles on the ground, and couldn’t help but laugh. You Ge forcefully hammered him on the shoulder, “How bad!”
“Water is for drinking, but you used it for bathing. What should I drink in the future?” Tie Zha asked solemnly.
“Drink big sister’s bath water to grow your body.” You Ge replied heartlessly. Tie Zha made a gesture to throw her on the ground again, so frightened that she hurriedly hugged his neck and apologized in his ear, “I’m sorry, You Ge was wrong.”
Tie Zha sighed helplessly and let her go. He said seriously, “We will go to the Endless Sand Sea tomorrow morning. There are some things I have to explain to you first.” You Ge nods obediently. Tie Zha continues, “Although you landed there and stayed there for a day, I’m sure you’re only at the edge of the endless sea of sand, not deep inside.”
As he spoke, Tie Zha took out a map and spread it out on the small table, explaining it to You Ge …
The endless sea of sand, just like her name, was an endless desert world. It was filled with countless dangers, and death was the most common thing. Since ancient times, only the most cautious, the smartest, and the bravest have been able to cross the endless sea of sand alone. Any small mistake could take away the lives of the Sandsea Travelers. The 20-meter-long giant sandworm was like a primordial ferocious beast that hibernated beneath the shallow sand, mercilessly devouring all life in the desert …
“I’m not going.” You Ge shouts delicately.
Tie Zha scratched his head and felt that he had said too much. He changed his tone and said, “I go there every three months. It’s nothing special. As long as you are willing to listen, I can guarantee your safety.”
“Can you go around?”
“It will only take three days to cross the Endless Sand Sea to Sand City. It will take a month to go around it, and we will need to replenish our supplies in dozens of small towns along the way.” Tie Zha spread out his hands and said, “To me, humans are more terrifying than sandworms.”
“If there is danger, will you protect me?” You Ge looks at him with starlight in his eyes.
“Yes, you are a pile of sparkling gold coins. Of course I will protect you.”
“Alright” You Ge lowered his eyes and walked into the container with a gloomy expression, silently closing the door.
Tie Zha shook his head as he looked at the closed door and began to pack his things. Crossing the endless sea of sand requires quilts, tents, medicines, water, food, weapons, ammunition. He checked, packed and loaded them one by one, and was unconsciously busy into the middle of the night.
The moonlight shone on the ground, and the iron slag stretched and finally prepared everything. He casually pulled a chair and lay down. He had been busy all day. He was really tired. Not long after, he let out a light snore.
At this time, the container’s door opened a small crack …
He was speechless all night.
The next morning, the iron slag slowly woke up and found that it was covered with a blanket. A wave of warmth surged into his heart. It had been a long time since his adoptive father passed away, and no one had covered his blanket for him (the iron slag habitually forgot about Lena). He knocked on the container door. You Ge comes out dressed neatly and says expressionlessly, “Let’s go.”
Tie Zha took out the pistol and two cartridges of bullets that Old Niu had given him and handed them over. He asked her, “Will it work?”
You Ge takes the gun and the bullets, skillfully examines, reloads, pulls the bolt, and completes the complicated movements in one go.
“Sure.” Tie Zha praised. Such proficiency was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
She snorted softly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll resist?”
“I repeat, we may not be friends, but we definitely will not be enemies.” Said Tie Zha.
“You are a human trafficker. We are irreconcilable.” You Ge snorts again. With the gun in her hand, she was much more confident.
“This is a fair deal. I used my life to exchange for 1 milligram of radium 2315, and then I used it to exchange for you. Then I risked my life to send you to Sand City. Should you give me a corresponding reward?”
“Cut ~ Send me back to Silver City No. 17. I’ll give you back 10,000 mg, no! 100,000 mg!”
Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “So I won’t believe you, never.”
“You! Why don’t you believe me! Why do you!” You Ge gritted his teeth and said, “What did I do to you!?”
“The people above you have never treated us as humans! Never!” Tie Zha roared back.
He continued, “Yeah, you can just casually say who gets 100,000 milligrams of radium 2315. That’s right, that’s your right. What you see as trash is fought over like treasures, even at the cost of your lives. And the result? Without this trash, you would have been ravaged by countless men in a brothel!”
Faced with the youth’s roar, Youge Lombar, the sharp-tongued Third Miss of the Lombar Clan, was speechless.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but that he didn’t trust all the’people above ‘.
