Chapter 3274: Untitled
None of the people who had survived ten years of nuclear clouds, acid rain, mutant beasts, radiation diseases, and brutal cannibalism were idiots.
Everybody knew that there were two worlds above the ground and below the ground. The nobles and magnates who initiated the nuclear war, after turning the surface of the earth into a wasteland, hid themselves in the underground metropolises with all the wealth that they had exploited and looted. There, they enjoyed life. There was luxury and prosperity. There were even rivers and willow trees. As Boss Gold Tooth had said, everything was available. It was a paradise below the ground!
The descendants of the civilians, on the other hand, suffered from radiation, corrosion, and internal strife in the desert. They were called âdemonsâ and lived in hell under the scorching sun.
Crushing an underground metropolis, plundering its wealth, slaughtering the women who caused the nuclear war, and even burning the underground metropolis to the ground without doing anything to drive out the rich and powerful so that they could have a taste of the miserable life they were living right now⊠For such a purpose, countless devils were willing to sacrifice their insignificant lives.
The problem was that the underground metropolis where the rich and powerful lived was not something that could be broken through by the insignificant lives of the devils.
Before the nuclear war, the âsuperiorsâ had been in control of the most cutting-edge force on the planet. In the collapsed world where order was lost after the nuclear war, they had captured countless âexperimentsâ and conducted all kinds of brutal new weapons research. As it turned out, a lot of super weapons far beyond their time had been developed. The new weapon development systems that were built on piles of bones were known as âArmageddon Technologyâ.
The underground metropolis that had been armed and protected by the âArmageddon Technologyâ was definitely not something that the automatic rifles of the devil race could breach through.
Moreover, they could not even get close to the entrance of the underground metropolis. Above every underground metropolis was a military zone of thousands of square kilometers. Drones and automated killing machines were patrolling the area nonstop. There were also electromagnetic cannons and prismatic towers buried in the sand and the wasteland. Even the main battle tanks could be burnt to ash. Dealing with the devils was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Even Barret, the leader of the Citigroup and the leader of the Gold Teeth Brotherhood, wouldnât be able to break through an underground metropolis even if he led all the devils in the entire Furious Blood Wasteland. Even a seven-year-old would understand the logic.
Therefore, despite Boss Gold Toothâs thunderous and passionate declaration, the residents of the tombstones were rather indifferent. It was just that nobody dared to question or refute Boss Gold Toothâs brutality just now.
Even Bai Xiaolu, who was being stepped on by Boss Gold Tooth, didnât think much of it. She thought to herself, âIs this the level of the legendary Boss Gold Tooth, Barete, who actually wants to break into the underground city with the advantage in numbers? Whatâs the difference between this and a moth darting into flames?â
The gold-toothed leader grinned. He let go of his right foot that was on Bai Xiaoluâs chest, but he immediately switched to his left foot and changed to a more comfortable position, continuing to bewitch her.
Yes. Under normal circumstances, the devils on the ground would not be able to break into the underground city. He had been the dominator of the Furious Blood Wasteland for more than ten years. He wouldnât ask his brothers to die for nothing just because he didnât understand such a simple logic.
However, what if a war broke out between the âUnderground Clanâ of different forces?
Wars changed almost everything, but they never changed the people who started them.
The only thing that mankind had learned from history was that mankind would never learn any lessons.
It was because âlearning a lessonâ and âlearning a lessonâ were often different.
It was the rich and powerful who âlearned a lessonâ.
But it was the filthy, ignorant, inhuman âdemonsâ who learned their lesson.
Therefore, wars never stopped. Wars never changed.
Although only a few decades had passed since the era of global nuclear war, a new war had broken out not long after new forces were born in the broken national and social systems.
Right now, the Underground Clan was divided into two forcesâthe âAllianceâ and the âContractâ. They did not have clear racial and national boundaries, but they were engaged in small-scale, low-intensity, but extremely brutal, conflicts in the underground metropolis that looked like countless chess pieces.
Occasionally, when dozens of underground metropolises under the name of âAllianceâ or âContractâ were connected, and the tactical communication network between them was finally established, a large-scale battle would be initiated, too, in an attempt to absorb and transform more enemy underground cities.
At this moment, in the northeast of the Furious Blood Wasteland, an âAutumn Offensiveâ between the Alliance and the Alliance was taking place.
âThe name of the underground city is âNew Gold Mountainâ. It is only two days and one nightâs journey from Tombstone Town to the northeast. It is one of the last and largest underground metropolises of the âAllianceâ in the Furious Blood Wasteland. It is also the main target of the âAgreementâ!â
Boss Gold Tooth roared, âOver the past half month, the unmanned bombers and train cannons of the âContractâ have been bombarding the ground of the âNew Gold Mountainâ. All the alarms, sentry posts, and railgun towers have been smashed! Also, the âContractâ has drilled through the thick rock stratums that protect the âNew Gold Mountainâ with the ânew underground bombâ that they just developed and paved the way to the âNew Gold Mountainâ!
âRight now, the top of the âNew Gold Mountainâ is riddled with holes. There are almost a hundred roads for us to march on. We can make the best use of our advantage in numbers!
âThe soldiers of âNew Gold Mountainâ have either been transferred to the frontline or blown up in the continuous bombardment. It is an unguarded city and a naked woman!
âThe âAutumn Offensiveâ between the âContractâ and the âAllianceâ will take a long time. The main force of the two parties, especially the âAllianceâ, will be stalled in the front line. Nobody will expect that the Demon Race will march out from behind and attack the underground metropolis of the âAllianceâ. Even if they do, they will not have the time to deal with us. If the âContractâ winsâaccording to the current situation, it is very likely that they will not be held responsible at all!
âWhat do you think? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you dare to do it or not? Speak. Are the devils of Tombstone Town rotten? Speak!â
There was nothing but silence.
The residents of Tombstone Town looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although they had dreamed of storming into the underground metropolis to plunder and take revenge, their fear of the rich and powerful had already been etched into their bones. The war between the âAllianceâ and the âContractâ was like the collision of two giant beasts. It seemed that cockroaches and mice such as themselves could not get involved.
âPromise him.â
His brother suddenly said to Bai Xiaolu in his heart, âSign up. Iâll be the first to sign up.â
âWhat?â
Bai Xiaolu was dazed. She stammered, âAttacking the underground city will kill us!â
âWe are going to die anyway. I can feel the cold killing intent of the guy. Even if we donât agree, he has a way to drive all the residents of Tombstone Town to be cannon fodder.
His brother said calmly, âBesides, this âGold Tooth Bossâ, Barete, might not be fighting alone. If my guess is correct, he should be a âservantâ of the âcontractâ and one of the links to the Autumn Offensive. Therefore, the odds of success are very high.
âServant army?â
Although Bai Xiaolu was weak, she was not stupid. She immediately realized what was going on when her brother pointed at her. âAre you suggesting that the âcontractâ is supporting Boss Gold Toothâs Citigroup?â
âOf course, although the apocalyptic technology of the Underground Clan is advanced, there are too few of them. In the world of extreme pollution after the nuclear war, every healthy human being without the slightest mutation is a valuable asset. Neither the âAllianceâ nor the âContractâ are willing to let a âUnderground Clanâ die in vain. Therefore, they are all raising a large batch of demons as their lackeys, claws, and servants. The wars are mainly fought by the lowly cannon fodder, just like all the previous wars.
The elder brother said, âRight now, the âAllianceâ and the âAssociationâ are engaged in a fierce battle on the frontline. Both sides are consuming a lot of resources. For the âAssociationâ of the attackers, it is definitely not in their favor if they cannot break the stalemate. It will be terrible if the âAllianceâ comes back to themselves and sends a lot of troops from somewhere else.
âIf a harassing force can attack the âNew Gold Mountainâ from the rear of the âAllianceâ at this moment, a lot of soldiers of the âAllianceâ will be stalled, which will create opportunities for the âcontractâ in the frontline.
âDo you think it was a coincidence that Barrett, the leader of the Gold Teeth Brotherhood, showed up and proposed such a plan?
âThis⊠Brother actually knows so much information!â
Bai Xiaolu was surprised. âHow is that possible?â
âIn fact, you know that, too.
A smile appeared in his brotherâs brain. âNews brought by the caravans and travelers from various towns, bits and pieces of information in the pubs of Tombstone Town, the bounties posted on the âblood wallâ, and the howling wind in the desert. You will hear everything if you listen carefully.
âBesides, such things donât need to be analyzed at all. You can tell just by looking at the equipment of the Citigroup. Huh. Is such standard equipment armed to teeth really something that can be obtained by occupying an abandoned military base? Letâs just say that he has really occupied a military base. If he doesnât have a backer, he will be destroyed by the âAllianceâ or the âContractâ immediately!
âHowever, it doesnât matter whether he is the leader or a lackey. What does it have to do with us? We just need to survive.
âHurry up and sign up. Even if you donât, he will still force you to go. Chances are that he will even put explosive necklaces on you. The situation will be even worse. Even if he doesnât take away everyone in Tombstone Town, we will still fall into the hands of the Heaven Wolves Gambling Den. Do you think we can survive?â
âButâŠâ
Bai Xiaolu hesitated. âWhat about my sister? She is still waiting for our medication in the village.â
âIt canât be helped. We donât have any money or medication right now. We can only hope that she can hold on.â
The brother said, âWhen we are in the battlefield, we will have the opportunity to run away in the chaos. By then, we will be able to find a military medical kit, or even a portable automatic diagnostic treatment machine in âNew Gold Mountainâ. There will be hope for our sister and all the children in the village.â
Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. Determination beamed out of her delicate face.
âIâm going!â
Hugging the thigh of Barret, the Gold Tooth Boss, he screamed in his childish voice, âI believe in Boss Gold Tooth. I will follow Boss Gold Tooth to the death and conquer the âNew Gold Mountainâ. I will⊠fight for water, food, and women!â
