Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3284 – Untitled

The zigzagging Russian was like a venomous bug, but Bai Xiaolu was deeply attracted to it. She could not help but touch the notebook with her fingertip. When she touched the name ‘Urey’, she felt a sharp pain as if she had been bitten by a bug.

Retracting his finger, Li Yao discovered that it was not an illusion. Two tiny black holes had appeared on his fingertip, from which a drop of blood was flowing out.

The blood splattered on the cover of the notebook and quickly soaked in, or rather… was sucked in by the two words ‘Urey’.

Bai Xiaolu’s heart was palpitating. She shrank her neck and asked, “Urey? Who is he?”

Maybe it was his imagination, but when Bai Xiaolu said the name, he felt that the muscles and nerves all over Boss Gold Tooth’s body constricted violently, and he was breathing fast.

The tough man did not even grunt when Bai Xiaolu pulled the bullet out of his ribs with surgical forceps. But when he heard the name ‘Urey’, he uttered a high-pitched sound deep inside his throat, which reminded Li Yao of a chicken whose throat had been cut.

After a long time, the gold-tooth demon said in a coarse voice, “…He is not a human being.”

Bai Xiaolu was baffled.

However, Yuri’s ‘telepathic notes’ contained endless magical power that enticed him to keep reading.

The notebook was filled with handwriting that was as long and winding as a reptile’s. It was also attached with many exquisite and realistic anatomy diagrams of the brain, including a sketch of a human face being skinned alive. Even though it was clearly false, it was as if a person’s soul had been forcefully sealed in a 2D plane and was howling towards Bai Xiaolu.

Bai Xiaolu swallowed. She was both scared and curious.

“You don’t need to worry about the rest of the content for now. Focus on page 22 to page 26. It’s the chapter on ‘Hypnosis’.”

“I’ll give you ten minutes to memorize all the content and return the notebook to me. Your ‘companion’ will be suspicious if you wait any longer.”

Even without Boss Gold Tooth’s instructions, Bai Xiaolu had remembered every word.

Although his personality was weak, perhaps because of the stimulation of his brother, his memory was super good. It was literally a retentive memory.

But he didn’t know what the content actually meant or how to get started.

“Brother, is the notebook real?”

Bai Xiaolu secretly asked, “Do you think it will work?”

“It should be true. These things are very useful.”

The elder brother pondered for a moment and said, “However, the training methods proposed by the notes are too radical and dangerous. Many secret arts seem to be still in the experimental phase and cannot guarantee safety and stability. I estimate that Boss Gold Tooth is lending the notes to us because he wants us to be his ‘test subjects’. Judging from our reactions after the training, he will learn a lot from us.”

“What?”

Bai Xiaolu was greatly alarmed.

In this world, there were indeed no ‘unintentionally dropped minced meat’.

“This is very good. Whatever we want, we must pay a certain price. This is called a ‘deal’—at least, this price is something we can pay.”

The elder brother said casually, “If you want to survive, you must gamble. We are gambling, and Boss Gold Tooth is gambling, too. It’s much better for us to gamble with our chips on the table than to scheme against each other below the stage.

“Alright. Return the notes to Boss Gold Tooth. We’ve memorized all the pages!”

…

“Kid, go take a look at the off-road vehicle with a skull painted on the door. I intentionally let go of the vehicle just now so that it wouldn’t be damaged. It should still be drivable!”

“Move all the food, guns, and gasoline to the SUVs and rest for ten minutes. We are ready to go!

“Listen up. From now on, the three of us are going to walk on a tightrope above the gate of hell. I hope that you will listen to our command obediently. If anyone yells or makes any decisions on their own, I will cut off the tightrope immediately and kick you to hell. Do you understand?”

Half an hour later, Boss Gold Tooth, who had just stitched up his wounds and refilled his food, regained his burning vitality. He shouted and commanded Bai Xiaolu and Wan Zanghai to clean up the battlefield, pack up the guns and vehicles, and prepare to leave.

BAM!

He examined the engine carefully in person before he closed the hood heavily. He then laid a ragged, blood-stained map on the hood and gestured for the two ‘kids’ to come over and take a look.

“We should be in the northeast of the Furious Blood Wasteland right now. Oasis and large-scale settlements could only be found if we marched southwards. But right now, the members of the ‘Vulture Gang’ and the ‘Venomous Scorpion Gang’ are cruising in the south and searching for me. As long as I’m eliminated, the seriously wounded Citigroup will not be able to make a comeback. The Scorpion Gang or the Vulture Gang will become the biggest organization in the Furious Blood Wasteland. Therefore, they will not give up easily!”

Boss Gold Tooth drew two forks on the south side of the map. He looked at Bai Xiaolu, only to find that she was in a daze. He could not help but frown and snap his fingers in front of Bai Xiaolu’s eyes. “Are you listening, stinky brat?”

Bai Xiaolu was listening.

Listening to the wind.

Just a moment ago, when Boss Gold Tooth mentioned ‘Vulture’ of the Vulture Gang, Bai Xiaolu fell into a trance that even she did not know.

He seemed to see black feathers burning furiously in the sky.

He seemed to have seen a vulture soar into the sky and swallow the entire world.

He heard vague, zigzagging sounds in the wind that seemed to be coming from somewhere far, far away.

“Be careful… Vulture…”

“Vulture… will stop you… will destroy everything…

“It doesn’t matter… He hasn’t completely… We still have a chance… Disturbance… Ripples… Reversal… Restart… Everything can be redone… Everything can be redone… Everything can be changed… Yesterday… can be reenacted…”

Bai Xiaolu shuddered and came back to herself.

He saw the angry face of Boss Gold Tooth and the shocked face of Wan Zanghai.

“Hey, stinky brat.”

Boss Gold Tooth narrowed his eyes. “Are you suffering from heatstroke? Did you hear what I said?”

“I—I did. You said ‘Vulture Gang’ and ‘Venomous Scorpion Gang’.”

Bai Xiaolu bit her lips.

But there was ruthlessness in his eyes.

He hated vultures.

He hated those ugly, despicable, wretched, and evil creatures.

The appearance of the vultures meant death and destruction. Whenever someone died in the village, or even when they breathed their last, the vultures in the desert would surround the village in groups as if they were receiving a mysterious signal, waiting to enjoy a feast of blood. There was no way to drive them away.

The ghouls were not as muscular and straightforward as the falcons. They never attacked head-on, but they would sneak in through all the gaps and loopholes and gnaw the dead bodies until there were only bones left. How annoying!

“Brother—”

Bai Xiaolu asked in her heart, “Do you hear anything?”

His brother asked curiously, “What’s that sound?”

“Vulture.”

Bai Xiaolu mumbled, “The sound of vultures flapping their wings in the sandstorm.”

“What are you talking about?”

His brother asked in concern, “Lu, are you really suffering from heatstroke? Where did the wind come from?”

Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. She took a deep breath and managed to say, “Maybe I was too nervous. I—I’m fine now.”

“Listen up. I’m going to say this for the last time. The two kids have remembered it clearly. To the south are the pursuers of the ‘Vulture Gang’ and the ‘Venomous Scorpion Gang’. They will find this place very soon. The ‘Vulture Gang’ has a lot of mutated falcons that can detect us from hundreds of meters in the sky.

Boss Gold Tooth tapped the map hard. “We cannot stay here. We must go north—in this direction!”

“Well—”

Before Bai Xiaolu realized what was going on, Wan Zanghai was already dumbfounded. “This is not the route to the ‘Alliance’ defense zone.”

“Who says we have to go to the ‘alliance’?”

Boss Gold Tooth stared at him like a lion eyeing its prey. “Where we are going and how we are going to get there are all up to me. Is that clear?”

Wan Zanghai opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. He replied dejectedly, “I do.”

“However, the north is uninhabited.

Bai Xiaolu blurted out and immediately realized that there was a loophole in his words. She quickly added, “I heard from the teachers in the school that the northern part of the Furious Blood Wasteland is a very terrifying no man’s land. During the great war, a fierce battle broke out there. A lot of minefields and radiation belts were left behind, as well as fully-automatic attack robots… No one can pass through the ‘Northern Desolate Wasteland’.”

“Yes. There are no ‘people’.

The gold-tooth leader grinned. “It’s a pity that I’m not a human being but a devil.

…

They were ready to get on the train.

Boss Gold Tooth kicked Wan Zanghai into the coach and tossed something to Bai Xiaolu.

“What is this?”

It was a small, cool bottle with a “Contract” logo and a small sprinkler on it.

“Spray a bit of it in your nose. It will refresh your mind and prevent heatstroke.”

Boss Gold Tooth said coldly, “Don’t get heatstroke, don’t get hurt, and don’t become a burden for me. Otherwise, I will kill you. Do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Holding the cooling spray in her palm, Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. Then she smiled and followed the dominator of the desert. “Thank you, boss.”

…

The yellow sand was rolling, and the wheels were spinning. The desert off-road vehicle, which had a skull painted on it, was carrying three guys that looked neither like humans nor ghosts, rushing on the desolate desert.

In the beginning, it was Boss Gold Tooth who was driving. While he was driving, he taught Bai Xiaolu and Wan Zanghai driving skills. If the ‘Vulture Gang’ and the ‘Venomous Scorpion Gang’ caught up to them, Boss Gold Tooth would definitely be responsible for opening fire. The two kids had to learn how to drive as soon as possible.

Thankfully, the two kids were very smart. Since there were no roads in the desert, buildings, and traffic rules, they could step on the gas any way they wanted. Bai Xiaolu and Wan Zanghai were both fast learners. They drove quite well within one day.

“Aha—”

Boss Gold Tooth was finally relieved. He groped inside the SUV and took out something from under the seat. “Look what I found!”
