Power Armor

Section 2 Kill the Watchdog

Xuetong's movements were quick, and it only took a few minutes to find what he wanted.

A sandworm, throwing away the useless and polluted parts. About 30 kilograms of ingredients can be left. Coupled with the brains that Xuetong swallowed before, the harvest is not bad. Although this sandworm is nothing compared to its self-weight of hundreds of kilograms. But don't forget, this is the end of the world, and the meat of most prey is inedible. Being able to obtain more than 30 kilograms of high-quality food is already considered a remarkable harvest. This is a result that only a few people can obtain in the No. 27 ruin shelter.

Vigorously peeling off the thick cuticle of the sandworm, Xuetong used a sharpened blade to separate the internal tissues of the sandworm bit by bit. Care was taken throughout the process, for fear of breaking the acid sac of the sandworm. His hands are steady and clever. And evenly. The blade fluttered between his fingers, quickly cutting the sandworm layer by layer. In the end, I got three white and long meat strips.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Xuetong looked around vigilantly, then quickly picked up the meat strips and slid into the sewer well not far away.

The sewer well is very deep, and the dark bottom is full of broken stones and rubbish. But there is a hole less than a meter from the bottom. People who are not familiar with it can't find it at all. Xuetong got in with ease. Immediately, there was a dirty pipe that was big enough for people to pass through.

This is the drainage network of Ruin No. 27. In the past, it was a key part responsible for the drainage of the entire city. But from the moment of destruction in the last days, this place has become a place where people live. Although the place is still dirty, compared to the terrifying death winds and radiation pollution on the ground, this place is as clean as heaven.

It's very dark in the pipe, but it's nothing to Xuetong. Living here, he already knows about pipes like palm prints. He moved through the pipes like a mouse. Quickly walked through one fork in the road and one trap after another. After walking continuously for more than ten minutes, he finally came to a relatively large fork in the road, turned a corner, and a black lacquered iron gate appeared not far away.

Xuetong reached out and knocked rhythmically on the iron door, and a window opened on the door.

"who?"

"It's me, I'm back." Xuetong replied lightly, with his head slightly lowered.

The eyes behind the window looked at Xuetong vigilantly for a while. Then opened the iron gate. Xue Tong immediately saw a burly man holding a shotgun. He's a guard at Vault 27. Nicknamed "Bronze Teeth". He got his name because all his teeth were broken during a fight and he got his dentures replaced. But you must not underestimate him because of this, fighting is commonplace here. It is important to be able to survive the fight. Copper Fang never went out to hunt, but it was still alive and well to prove it.

Of course, this also has something to do with the forces behind him. The last days are a place without laws. Only the strong can survive, so the gangsters are rampant. Copper Fang belongs to a gang called the 'Bear Gang' in the ruins. It is the most powerful force in the refuge.

Opening the iron door, Copper Fang carefully looked at Xuetong for a while, then suddenly grinned. Showing a mouthful of bright yellow teeth. "It seems that your harvest is good. Boy, let me see what you got?"

Xuetong silently put the package on the table in front of Tongya and unfolded it. Three white strips of meat were exposed.

"Ha, the ribs of sandworms are still unpolluted first-class products. Boy, you made a fortune today." Copper Fang's eyes lit up, and he grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew. Green juice trickled down the side of his mouth. Seeing Xue Tong frowned.

The sandworm meat he harvested today is a special food without pollution. It can be exchanged for at least a hundred catties of second-class food with low pollution on the black market, and more if it is third-class food with high pollution. That's enough to last him a long time. Right now, Bronze Teeth has grabbed a large piece, which is enough for an adult to live for two days. It would be a lie to say it doesn't hurt.

But in the last days, the strong are the rules. Xuetong didn't want to offend Tongya. He can only bear with it.

It's just that Tong Ya doesn't seem to want to let Xue Tong go just like that. After chewing for a while, he let out a sigh of satisfaction. Then he picked up the two untouched tenderloin. "That's it, today's entry fee. Go away, boy. You are lucky, I am in a good mood today, otherwise you will never want to enter the door."

"..." Xuetong didn't move, but clenched his fists suddenly.

Two tenderloins! ! Those were the two spines he had worked so hard to get back! ! It took him a lot of ore to figure out the sandworm's habits, and he squatted for five days before he found a sandworm that entered the city. In the end, he fought to the death and only got back three. Each of these spines can be said to be Xuetong's painstaking efforts. They are all top-notch. But the other party actually picked up two of them at once. This immediately ignited the anger in Xuetong's heart.

Unknowingly, Xuetong's breathing began to speed up. A faint bloodshot appeared in the eyes. The pupils also began to gradually redden.

But because he lowered his head, Copper Fang didn't know his changes. Still cursing triumphantly. "Get out, brat, are you still waiting for me to send you off? But it's easy for you to give it away. I have a lot of money recently. It's okay to give you a few guns."

Xue Tong was silent for a while. Then he took a deep breath. "Bronze teeth. This is the harvest of my hard work for several days. You took so much at once, isn't it... a little bit later. Will the black bear boss know that he will be unhappy?"

"Yo!" Tongya obviously didn't expect Xuetong to dare to talk back, and grinned in novelty. "You still dare to threaten me with the black bear boss?"

Copper Ya conveniently picked up the shotgun next to it and pressed it against Zhou Yang's forehead, and then opened the safety. "I don't know if the black bear boss will be happy, but I know I will be very unhappy if you keep talking. So if you don't want to die, you'd better roll as far as you can. Then bring more food next time. Otherwise you Your head will be the same as the watermelon before the catastrophe, Peng!"

"..." Xuetong didn't answer. But at the same time that Tongya spoke the last syllable, he kicked the opponent's knee like lightning. With a click, Tongya's calf immediately folded down in the opposite direction, and the whole person became half shorter. Immediately afterwards, before Tongya screamed out, Xuetong grabbed the barrel of the shotgun with both hands, and gave it away fiercely. He stabbed the butt of the gun back into his big mouth with the scream of copper teeth.

"Wooo..." the boss who stared at Tongya, obviously didn't expect Xuetong to dare to make a move. But Xuetong didn't even look at him. The left hand directly touched the trigger finger of the copper tooth along the barrel of the gun. Followed by a break. With a click, Bai Sensen's joints burst out from the skin, and Tongya's fingers were actually snapped off by him.

"Oh!!" Bronze Fang suddenly let out a muffled groan in pain, and a little bit of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. But he is also a vicious guy, he actually insisted on ignoring the injury on his hand, instead swung his only intact left fist towards Xuetong's temple. Tong Ya is very confident in his own strength, he believes that Xue Tong's head will definitely be blown off by this punch.

But his Kuai Xuetong was even faster. Almost at the same time as he broke off the opponent's fingers, Xuetong's right hand touched back and pulled out the sharp steel bar around his waist. When the opportunity arises, just take a step forward, raise the steel bar and drop it!

With a "poof", the steel bar pierced fiercely into Tong Ya's left eye, and directly pierced out from the back of his head. Blood mixed with white brains splashed all over the wall. Bronze Fang's body trembled, and his left arm finally hung down feebly. The burly body slowly slid down the steel bars of Xuetong, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xuetong quietly looked at Tongya's corpse. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. His movements of the rabbit ups and downs these few times are extremely fast, it sounds complicated but actually it didn't even take five seconds. The seemingly invincible copper teeth died in his hands. This shows how worthless human life is in the last days. But Xuetong didn't show any regrets. This is the end of the world, if you don't want to be eaten by others, then be ready to eat others at any time.

After taking a deep breath of the blood-smelling air, Xue Tong began to pack things in an orderly manner. His movements are not fast, but very efficient. It only took a while to clean up the scene. He took a last look at the shotgun in Huang Fang's mouth, thought about it but didn't take it away.

"It's a pity. The black bear won't give up after taking this gun away." Saying that, Xuetong walked towards another wooden door in the room.

Behind the wooden door is a downward passage, Xuetong is slowly moving in the shadows carrying food. Here, figures have begun to appear one after another. Those figures were starving and skinny, both men and women. They were lying in the corner of the passage, wrapped in dirty blankets, looking at people with greed and hunger. But it is obvious that they all know Xuetong, and no one dares to put their desire into action. There were only a few pretty women scratching their heads desperately, trying to exchange their cheap bodies for Xuetong's attention.

But obviously they all failed. Xuetong didn't even look at them from the beginning to the end. Just silently carried the food and continued to move. After passing through the passage is the entrance to the sewer. Xuetong lived there for nineteen years. Knowing every road is like palm prints.

The roads in the sewer are intricate, and there are many more people than on the ground. This is where civilians gather. Only powerful men in Vault 27 get separate rooms. In addition, only the sewers have less radiant energy. In this desperate last days, such conditions are enough to make people give everything. You should know that the shelter is not accessible to everyone, including this sewer. The price you have to pay to live here is enough to buy a luxury villa in the pre-civilized era.

Xuetong walked silently along the way, and the food on his shoulder attracted a lot of prying eyes. The sound of swallowing saliva can be heard almost everywhere. But under the black hair with scattered blood pupils, no expression can be seen. After going around an unknown number of bends in the sewer, he came to a wooden door.

Pushing open the wooden door, a beautiful woman just raised her head.

"You're back..." The woman smiled sweetly, like a virtuous wife.
