"How did you know?!"
Bai Xiaolu was dumbfounded. Without considering whether or not the other party was lying to him, he blurted out, "When did you know? How did you know?"
"Are you talking about the 'devil' or the 'superpower'?"
Wanzanghai sneered. "I knew that you were a devil from the very beginning. It couldn't be helped. Your acting skills were too bad, and your excuses were full of loopholes. I didn't believe a single word you said.
"It's just that the situation at the time was too dangerous for me to travel a long distance in the wilderness alone, so I reluctantly teamed up with you. You lied to me, and I lied to you. It was very normal!
"As for the fact that you were also a 'superpower', I slowly guessed it later. You were the same as The Golden Tooth. You were an expert who practiced the 'power of the heart', weren't you? You must've hypnotized me to steal the extraction password of the 'cutting-edge water purification technology', right?"
"You knew all about it?"
Bai Xiaolu's face reddened, as if she had been exposed. "Why do you keep acting like you don't know anything?"
"Nonsense. If we had turned against each other at the time, I wouldn't have been a match for you two devil superpowers at all. In the end, I would've either been killed by you or suppressed and hypnotized by your even stronger 'power of the heart'."
Wanzanghai spread his hands and said, "Other than pretending to be stupid and waiting for the right time, did I have a second choice? Besides, I needed the two of you to protect me to reach my real destination in the first place. You were both superpowers, which greatly increased the success rate and the safety factor. This was a good thing. Why would I expose you? "
Bai Xiaolu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
He knew that Wanzanghai was a cunning man, but he didn't expect him to be so cunning that even The Golden Tooth was fooled by him.
"Now you should understand everything. Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid."
Wanzanghai said proudly, "We were enemies in the first place. You were the one who attacked the 'New Golden Mountain' first and destroyed my home. Of course, I would do anything to avenge my city. What's the problem?"
No problem.
Bai Xiaolu was not an unreasonable person.
Even though he had been cleansed by the ugly Wasteland, he still couldn't learn how to be shameless and unreasonable like those rascals and scoundrels.
Wanzanghai's methods were not honorable, but he was indeed a victim. It was The Golden Tooth who led Bai Xiaolu and the rest of the army of devils to attack 'New Gold Mountain' first and destroy the underground city.
Regardless of the grudge between the underground races and the devils in the past, at least in this case, Wanzanghai had ten thousand reasons to avenge The Golden Tooth.
But now, did Bai Xiaolu have the right to avenge The Golden Tooth from Wanzanghai?
Even if he had a stand, did he have the ability to do so?
No.
He had nothing.
The boy lowered his head and looked at the mangled body of the overlord of the Wasteland. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
At this moment, the battle at the front was coming to an end. The bandits of the Poison Scorpion Gang and the Vulture Gang had been slaughtered, but the rocket soldiers were unscathed. This was the difference between a mob and an elite regular army.
"Even if you killed The Golden Tooth, you can't escape."
Bai Xiaolu was disheartened. He said bitterly, "The commander of this troop, Colonel Sterling, was The Golden Tooth's good friend. He came here despite the sandstorm to save people, but you killed him. How are you going to escape?"
"'Good friend'? Hahahaha, how cute. Xiaolu, do you know what the biggest difference between you and me is?"
Wanzanghai laughed. He first pointed at Bai Xiaolu, then at his own chest. "You believe in your friends, in your flag, in your hope, in your country, in your compatriots. You believe in these illusory and useless things. You believe in these things because you are too weak. Even if you have superpowers, you are still a complete failure. You don't believe in yourself at all. You have to find support outside of yourself!
"And I am strong enough, so strong that I don't care about anything. I only need to believe in myself. I am destined to reach the peak and command the world!
"This is the difference between you and me. It is also the difference between 1% and 99%. It is the difference between the underground race and the devil race. It is the difference between a superior and an ant.
"Get lost. Watch me perform well!"
Wanzanghai's face was full of contempt. He kicked Bai Xiaolu away and knelt on one knee to search The Golden Tooth's body.
"What are you doing?!"
Bai Xiaolu shrieked.
"This is mine. I want to return it to its rightful owner. Is that okay?"
Wanzanghai found the chip that stored cutting-edge water purification technology on The Golden Tooth's waist.
Bai Xiaolu was speechless.
"And this."
Wanzanghai wanted to take the blood-stained American flag from The Golden Tooth's hands. However, even though The Golden Tooth was dead, he still held on tightly to his flag. Wanzanghai tried twice but failed. He flew into a rage out of humiliation. He took out a dagger and cut off The Golden Tooth's two fingers. Finally, he got the American flag.
"You, you are crazy. This is The Golden Tooth's flag. It is the flag of the American Gang!"
Bai Xiaolu's eyes and mouth were torn apart at the same time. Blood gushed out.
"Anyway, he is already dead. What's wrong with borrowing it?"
Wanzanghai smiled and squatted in front of Bai Xiaolu. He gently patted the boy's cheek. "Unhappy? Upset? You're so angry that you want to kill me? Then come at me. Use your 'Strength of the Heart' to explode my cerebral vessels and make me suffer a severe concussion, just like what you did to the bandits just now. What's wrong? You can't do it anymore? Have you used up all your power?
"Haha, so The Golden Tooth was right when he said that you are stupid. As an ability user, you have to keep a trump card for yourself at all times. Otherwise, you will end up like this. You will be at the mercy of others. Student Xiaolu!"
He pressed Bai Xiaolu's head into the sand and rubbed it hard.
Then, he stepped on a wound on Bai Xiaolu's thigh. Ignoring the boy's shouts, he unfolded the American flag and waved it hard.
"Don't open fire. We are on the same side. I want to talk to your commander about a deal!"
Wanzanghai smiled brightly and shouted at the rocket soldiers who were slowly flying over. "Who is Colonel Sterling? I want to see Colonel Sterling and give him a precious gift. I want to talk about a huge deal! "
More than a dozen rocket soldiers slowly landed.
The rest of the elite soldiers were still on high alert in the air. Countless murderous gazes penetrated Wanzanghai's body, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He was willing to endure it.
On the other side, an officer wearing the finest armor took off his helmet, revealing a face that had been cut by blades and hatchets and was covered in frost.
"Oh, so you are not the Colonel."
Seeing the insignia on the officer's chest, Wanzanghai's eyes lit up. His smile grew wider. "It is the General. General Sterling. Hello."
"Who are you?"
The commander of the rocket soldiers narrowed his eyes and looked at Wanzanghai, Bai Xiaolu, and The Golden Tooth's body next to them.
When he saw The Golden Tooth's shattered body, his expression clearly dimmed. His lips trembled for a moment, but he did not say anything. He regained his sharpness.
Wanzanghai opened his hands to show that he did not have a weapon. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "My name is Shao Jinchuan. My father is Shao Qingyun, the mayor of New Gold Mountain. I represent my father and want to make a deal with General Sterling and the agreement. We are willing to submit to the agreement and help it defeat the damn Alliance!"
"What!"
The boy under the teenager's feet was dumbfounded by his words. It was as if thousands of thunderbolts had exploded in the depths of his brain. He could not come back to his senses for a long time.
This guy was not the son of the laboratory director of Gold Mountain Water Company, but the son of the mayor of New Gold Mountain? What was going on?!
"This …"
Sterling narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Words are no guarantee. This is a little gift from my father to General Sterling. Please kindly accept all the information on the cutting-edge water purification technology that you have been looking for. Whether the deal is reached or not, it will not affect the friendship between us father and son and General Sterling!"
Wanzanghai, or Shao Jinchuan, handed the chip over with a smile. Of course, he used his superpower of telekinesis and electromagnetic propulsion.
The fact that he was an "ability user" made the rocket soldiers nervous again.
Sterling, however, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to lower their guard. He held the chip in his hand and carefully rubbed it.
"This is real. I would not go so far as to cross the entire Northern Wilderness and play such a joke with my life," Shao Jinchuan said.
Shao Jinchuan said, "My life is very valuable."
"New Gold Mountain has been destroyed. Even if you are really the son of the mayor, what right do you have to make a deal with me?"
Weighing the chip in his hand, Sterling said coldly, "This chip is far from enough."
"Although the 'New Gold Mountain' has been destroyed, the 'Gold Mountain Natives' are not all dead, especially the police system that was responsible for the defense of the city. A large batch of people escaped under my father's lead and evacuated to other underground cities of the 'Alliance'. They have suffered defeats and lost their foundation. Their future is bleak. If the 'Pact' gives them a chance at this moment, they will certainly grasp it without caring about anything!"
Shao Jinchuan shouted, "I know that the 'Accord' and the 'Alliance' are in a stalemate in the frontline right now. The frontline is about to become a bloody meat grinder. Chances are that the troops that General Sterling built up with great difficulty will be sent in and be wasted for nothing!
"If there are abnormal movements in the rear of the 'Alliance' at this moment, the 'Accord' and the people that my father has snuck into the underground cities will work together. We will certainly be able to win the war once and for all!"
"You …"
Sterling's eyes were deep and profound. "Can you really represent your father? Did he say that, or did you say it yourself? "
"I'm just an ignorant young man. If it weren't for my father's teachings, how could I have said such words and proposed such a deal?"
