Last Totem Novel - Chapter 539
Chapter 539 Wardrobe
“Quick, follow!” Amidst the chaos, the experienced Ed Cat waved his waist, bypassed the crowd, ran along the corner of the fortress, and occasionally turned around to wave at the two members behind him.
It was impossible to withdraw after the riots. Not to mention the large number of soldiers who had entered the city, even if they were able to leave, they would still be punished for desertion. The safest way was to take advantage of the chaos and rush into a building in the stronghold to find a place to hide.
A three-storey building appeared in front of them, bypassing the shivering commoners who were hiding in the corners of the wall and bypassing a large group of chaotic plain soldiers. Judging from the sparkling neon signs, it should be the commercial center of the stronghold.
“Wait.” Ed raised his hand and signaled the two people behind him to stop. Then, he squatted to the side and observed.
“Help!” Seconds later, a man in a canvas uniform crawled through the door. However, just as he entered, a burst of gunshots rang out from inside, and the cries for help abruptly came to a halt.
Seeing that the door was guarded, Ed turned his gaze to the other side of the building and stopped on a fire escape. After observing for a while and confirming that it was safe, he put the assault rifle on his shoulder and waved his hand backwards, “Go, climb the ladder.”
Immediately after, the three of them bent forward and arrived at the bottom of the fire escalator, climbing up one after another.
“Thump thump thump …”
As the three of them moved, the corrosion on the ladder fell off one after another. The second brother in the middle was the most painful. All the rust fell on his face, mixed with sweat and dyed earthy red.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh …”
Suddenly, a few stray bullets flew past him, scaring Third Brother so much that he almost lost his grip on the ladder.
“I was shot, I was shot!” Third Brother shouted in panic.
“Don’t make any noise. If you really get shot, you’ll fall!” Second Brother lowered his head and shouted at Third Brother below.
“Hurry up, don’t dawdle.” Ed urged as he climbed up. From the corner of his eyes, he could see a large number of mechs and soldiers pressing towards him. Occasionally, one or two of them would fly over. They would either crash into a heat-tracking missile and turn into fireballs in the air, or they would be hit by a large number of bullets, and their entire bodies would fall to the ground in flames.
Not long after, Ed climbed to the top platform. But as soon as he showed his head, a shuttle of bullets swept over.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The bullet brushed past the helmet and Ed loosened his grip and slid down. In his panic, he stepped on his second brother’s shoulder.
Second Brother immediately fell down and sat on top of Third Brother’s head.
“Ah!” Third Brother cried out in alarm, but luckily, he was young and strong, and had a pump-type circuit. He quickly pushed Second Brother up.
Ed stabilized his body, gritted his teeth, and rushed up abruptly. The more he hesitated at this moment, the faster he would die.
“Da da da …” “Clang!” Flames sprayed out from the front, and a bullet hit the helmet, causing Ed, who had just climbed up, to tilt his neck.
However, he had the endurance of a beetle and had experienced hundreds of battles. He quickly recovered and determined the direction of the bullet. In the blink of an eye, he pounced forward and rolled on the spot. Then, he picked up his gun and fired a string of bullets at the spot where the flames flickered.
“Da da da!”
Hidden behind the air purifier, the defenders fell. Ed saw that he had succeeded and immediately ran forward.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh” The sound of the bullet scraping through the air came from behind him. After burying his head and running for a while, he rolled forward and hid behind an air purifier.
“Da da da!” After a few seconds of silence, he dodged and swept out a row of bullets in the general direction. His goal was not to kill the other party, but to cover the other two players.
“Clang! Clang!” Just as he pulled the trigger a few times, he dodged back. The bullets of the garrison immediately whistled towards him, causing sparks to splash everywhere on the steel bracket of the air purifier.
As expected, the sound of gunfire came from the direction of the fire escalator, followed by a miserable scream. During this period of time, he did not remain idle. He pulled out two smoke bombs from his waist, bit open the pull ring, and smashed towards the unknown area in front of him.
The grey smoke quickly sprayed out, filling a large area. After meeting up with his teammates, Ed quickly broke open the pipe connecting to the air purifier and took the lead to drill in …
At the same time, in a clothing store on the third floor of the business, there was a light breathing sound coming from the wardrobe.
In the dim light, one could barely see the clothes of many women hanging on the wall. There were clothes racks on the side of the wall, and bras and underwear were all available.
At this moment, there was a young girl hiding in the closet. She is twenty-one years old, a waitress at the clothing store, a native of Sandstorm Castle. After the war began, the soldiers looked for people everywhere. She hid in the wardrobe and narrowly escaped a calamity.
During the last insect tide, she also hid here and spent several days comfortably. The other sisters were dragged to take care of the wounded, only she was leisurely eating snacks while enjoying a rare paid holiday.
“Perhaps this time, it will be as thrilling and safe as last time ~” She thought as she peeled off a mint, put it in her mouth, and used her tiny tongue to play with it.
“Clang!”
Just as she was enjoying the refreshment of the tip of her tongue, a loud noise suddenly came from above, causing her entire body to tremble in fear and she almost cried out.
Through the crack in the cabinet door, a middle-aged man with a gun on his back and the appearance of a soldier jumped down from the vent and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he took two steps forward and another figure landed.
“Kuang … Uh … Ah!” With a series of tiny sounds, the third figure rolled down and smashed into the second figure’s body. The latter was knocked to the ground on the spot, looking extremely painful.
After landing on the ground, Ed looked around and immediately walked to the door, looking out. The corridor was empty, the lights dimmed, the ground was in a mess, plaster ceilings and glass fragments fell everywhere, obviously shocked by the cannon fire.
“Stay here until the war is over.” Ed turned around and whispered to his two teammates who were rolling on the ground.
“Boss, I’ll listen to you.” Third Brother got up and said with a smile. After the second brother went down, he was a little anxious. He accidentally hit the top of the ventilation duct, causing stars to appear in his eyes and he fell down.
“Be serious. There’s nothing serious about it.” The second brother taught him a lesson while twisting his neck. If it wasn’t for the insect transformers, Old Three would have fainted on the spot if he hadn’t fallen on him just now.
“I know, I know” As he said that, Old Three took out his military lighter, and with a “ding” sound, the flames shone brightly.
“Idiot, it’s almost extinguished!” Ed cursed in a low voice.
“Oh.” Third Brother closed the lid and extinguished the flames.
Just as the third brother was polishing the lighter, the second brother saw the cosmetics in the glass counter. Among them, there were a few lipsticks that his younger sister was clamoring to buy.
He immediately stepped forward and smashed open the glass cabinet with a “pong” sound. He took out the lipstick, looked at it carefully, and stuffed it into his pocket.
“Second brother!” Ed shouted with a frown.
“No … just casually take a look.” Realizing that he had lost his composure, Second Brother hurriedly smiled apologetically.
“Be honest, don’t make any noise.” Ed said solemnly.
“Good, good, good.” The second brother nodded repeatedly. When the boss turned around and looked outside, he took out some foundation liquid and nail polish from the glass cabinet and stuffed them into his pocket.
After taking the makeup, he suddenly came to his senses. He took three steps and took two. He rushed to the counter and opened the drawer.
“Huala.”
With a light sound, a whole box of copper coins and silver coins came into view. He quickly grabbed one and stuffed it into his pocket. Seeing this, Third Brother immediately rushed over and reached out to snatch it away.
“Go go” Second Brother opened Third Brother’s hand and said, “When we get out, the three brothers will split equally.” As he spoke, Second Brother took out a small cloth bag containing money from the drawer and grabbed the coins.
Third Brother snorted and ignored Second Brother. He walked to the side and fiddled with the bra on the clothes rack.
“Second Brother, look at this.” After picking it up for a while, he picked up a G-cup bra and rubbed it as he spoke to his second brother who was loading money.
“You’re abnormal.” Second Brother said unhappily.
“In the future, I want to find someone as big as milk. I’ll carry her to bed every day.” Third Brother said with a yearning expression.
“What the hell do you know? Those with such big milk are usually fat women.” Second Brother said with a smile.
“What the hell do you know!” Third Brother retorted, “The last time I saw who it was, it was from the storm. What’s its name … hmm …” He thought for a while and said, “Guild Leader Mu, I think she’s pretty big.”
“You’re courting death. She’s the leader of the Vermillion Bird Guild. She has hundreds of subordinates. I’ll crush you to death.” Second Brother said with a stiff face.
“Isn’t that all?” Third Brother smiled embarrassedly and then said, “Right …”
“What?” Second Brother looked at him doubtfully.
“When do you want to introduce your sister to me? Look at me, I’m quite sturdy” Third Brother raised his arm and displayed his muscles. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his second brother.
“Let me introduce you. She’s only in junior high school, okay?” Second Brother said with a frown.
“Big uncle, I mean …” Third Brother said shamelessly. “Make a reservation.”
“Book your sister!” “Big uncle, don’t be like this.” “Believe it or not, I’ll slap you?” “We’re a family …”
Looking at the smiling Third Brother, Second Brother was so angry that he casually picked up a copper coin and smashed it at him.
“Haha!” Third Brother’s reaction was extremely quick. He turned his head and dodged.
“See if I don’t kill you.” Second Brother’s face was cold as he grabbed a handful of copper coins and smashed them over.
This time, Old Three could not dodge the attack. He kicked his leg and dodged to the side. As a result, he crashed into the wardrobe with a “bump”.
“Ah!”
In an instant, a scream sounded from the cupboard.
The expressions of the three of them changed at the same time. They quickly raised their guns and aimed at the place where the sound came from.
Third Brother leaned closer and slowly put down his assault rifle. He pulled out his pistol from his waist, took a step forward, and abruptly opened the cabinet door.
“Don’t … don’t shoot …” A cowardly voice rang out.
Third Brother untied his clothes and quickly saw the girl in the cupboard. He immediately pulled her out and covered her mouth with one hand. His arm pressed against her chest, pressing her against the cabinet door. He held a pistol with his index finger on the trigger and the muzzle on her waist. He warned in a low voice, “Don’t make a sound, or die.”
The girl’s eyes widened as she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, her gaze filled with panic and fear.
