Zhang Lisheng got what he wanted the most after a series of infuriating torture. Meanwhile, the fresh meat of Raby and the rest had recovered Mountoad's vital energy to its peak.
"Seems like fresh human nourishes wizard worm's vital energy much more than livestock meat.
However, I wouldn't need to replenish my wizard worm's vital energy all the time if I'm really a homicidal maniac who kills innocent people for the sake of witchcraft cultivation. " Zhang Lisheng controlled Mountoad to pull the heavy warehouse door open with its long tongue after everything was done smoothly. He mumbled to himself as he dragged George out of the warehouse strenuously.
George had a bloody nose and a swollen face with shoe prints all over his body. However, it was fortunate that these were only superficial wounds. After taking a few breaths of fresh air as he was blown by the cold wind outside the warehouse, he opened his eyes as Zhang Lisheng called out, "George, wake up George …"
"Hey buddy, we meet again. I knew people like you wouldn't be able to get to heaven …"
"We're not dead."
"What did you say? We're not dead? How's that possible? Ouch, ouch …" George realized that he was really not dead from the pain all over his body after he woke up. "Sh * t, I feel like I'm being torn apart.
What's going on? Where's Raby and his underlings? Where are they? Why did they let us go? "
"I've no idea. I hid in the warehouse for a while and I saw a light at the door all of a sudden.
I walked closer and saw that you were the only one lying on the ground, the rest were gone. "
George was stunned and fell into silence with a gloomy expression. He looked deeply at Zhang Lisheng and said while nodding, "That's really God's blessing.
Since that's the case, it's best that we leave this dangerous place right after we close this big iron door. Come on buddy, help me out. "
He struggled to stand up from the ground while enduring the pain as he spoke. He pulled the heavy iron door with all his might while clenching his teeth.
Zhang Lisheng helped him out immediately. Both of them moved their feet bit by bit and finally closed the iron door.
"Hey, buddy, I've returned your favor, right?" After closing the iron door, George patted the dust off his body and said half-jokingly.
At that moment, Zhang Lisheng was already afraid of the risk he took. In reality, Raby had caused quite a lot of damage to the wizard worm when he shot Mountoad with a handgun in the warehouse. If his few underlings had attacked together with long and short guns, the ending might have been completely different.
"You've fulfilled your promise, George. Looks like I've underestimated everything."
"Fortunately, it's not too late for you to figure it out. Let's go, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. Raby's brother is not to be trifled with."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lisheng was shocked. Hastily, he began to run on the empty and dilapidated street with George.
After running for two blocks and seeing that there were more and more pedestrians, the two of them panted heavily and changed from running to walking.
Without stopping for a moment, they walked to the subway station where they came from and got on the subway with countless excited tourists.
After it was safe, Zhang Lisheng stood in the subway and held the handrail while looking at the graffiti outside the window. Listening to the sound of the subway moving, he suddenly asked softly after passing two stations speechlessly, "George, do you know what that warehouse is used for?"
"That kind of place is obviously a 'hotel'. It's a place where the smugglers temporarily stay.
The stowaways who pay the rest of the stowaways can leave the 'hotel' soon to work illegally. Those who can't pay will stay there forever, "George calmly replied. He hesitated for a moment and added, "Even if that place is used frequently, nobody would purposely clean it. Nobody would care if a few dead bodies were added there."
George's answer stunned Zhang Lisheng. Recalling the horrible environment in the warehouse and the fear and hopelessness one would have after being locked in, he blurted out, "Such a 'hotel' suits me.
But is that really New York? The one that's known as the most prosperous, civilized and open metropolis in the world, New York? "
George said while smiling, "Buddy, nobody would force you to go to such a dangerous place. Staying in a good neighborhood in Brooklyn, you won't be as dangerous as you were just now even if you go through a world war.
However, everything that you've experienced today is indeed a part of New York. Welcome to the real New York, young New Yorker. "
As they were talking, the train passed through a few stations and stopped at the Lowbige station in Brooklyn. It was a Saturday. Most of the people on the platform dressed casually were waiting for the train. They looked relaxed, clearly enjoying their weekend.
Outside the subway station, the sky was blue and the air was fresh. Although there were not many skyscrapers in sight, there were quite a number of them.
Half of the people on the street had their pets with them. They were traveling with their families. It was a joyful, everything was civilized and beautiful.
"Living here is called living.
It's 2: 30 pm now, it's still early. What's your plan, my friend? "George took a deep breath and said after getting out of the subway station.
"I'll send you to the orthopedic hospital to see the doctor. I hope they can use the Golden Wheat Card from the Agricultural Bank of China."
"There's no need for that, this little injury is nothing. I have your Chinese secret ointment at home."
Zhang Lisheng did not continue to be courteous after hearing what George said, "If that's the case, I'll see if I can use the Golden Wheat Card to buy something useful at the foreign store nearby. I'll go home."
"Alright, I think so too. See you on Monday, buddy," George was stunned for a moment and turned around while waving his hand.
"Bye, George."
Hearing Zhang Lisheng's goodbye, George who had walked a few steps away could not help it anymore. He turned around and asked while staring at Zhang Lisheng, "Lisheng, don't you have any leisure life at all?
Even my crazy brother who's like a Frankenstein would go to a striptease show to relax every week. Don't you want to relax at all?
Especially since you've just experienced, experienced … Forget it.
Pretend I didn't say anything. Bye, my friend, "He waved at Zhang Lisheng and walked further away as he spoke.
Zhang Lisheng lived a peaceful life in the days after that. Apart from going to school, he would work at Dan Souza Butcher Shop. He would secretly cultivate witchcraft with the secret method when he returned home. He never went on an adventure again.
Autumn turned into winter in the blink of an eye. It was the first snowfall in New York. The city was covered in white after the snow. Snowball fights became the oldest and most fashionable leisure activity for the young people in the city.
One afternoon in December, Zhang Lisheng nailed a frog and a white mouse's limbs on a wooden board with steel needles in the biology lab on the third floor of Lowbige Junior High's teaching building. He was dissecting their organs carefully.
Standing next to him was Dr. Stephen who was known for being old-fashioned and serious. It was said that if it was not for the terrible 'experiment disaster', this outstanding biologist would have been working in the world's top biology lab. However, he could only stay in high school and teach some impatient kids how to cut off a frog's thigh.
"Lisheng, what did you find?"
"The contents in the frog's stomach are quite rich. I saw mosquito wings and some … some meat paste. Looking at the digestion progress, I think the anesthetic didn't take effect in time before this frog was dissected …" Zhang Lisheng said nonstop.
He seemed to be much more talkative compared to when he first arrived in America. He was more cheerful now too.
"Looks like your experimental operation level is progressing very fast since you can observe all of this without using a microscope. Continue to work hard, kid." Dr. Stephen had a rare smile on his serious face. "Maintain this learning progress. I'll definitely not be stingy with writing a recommendation letter to those former colleagues who teach in famous universities when you graduate.
Although their level in biological research is poor, it's still completely possible for them to lay a good foundation for you. "
"Thank you, Dr.," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before thanking him.
At that moment, the bell rang, it was lunchtime.
Dr. Stephen walked up to the podium to announce the end of the class. Seizing the opportunity, George who took the biology class together with Zhang Lisheng whispered behind him, "Hey buddy, Dr. Stephen really admires you.
It's not a waste for you to kill so many frogs and make that baby toad that always follows you cry. "
"George, mocking your friend won't get you an A in class. It's even impossible for you to get a B or a C," Zhang Lisheng continued to dissect the two little animals without lifting his head. "Wait for me, we can go for lunch after I'm done dissecting the organs of these two experimental animals."
His words seemed calm but it made every high school student who walked past him show a vomiting expression.
Upon seeing that, George sighed and put away his experiment homework. He walked up to Zhang Lisheng and said in a desperate tone, "Buddy, you don't have to say that. Many people in the school know that Madam Lili has a crazy kid who transferred from China.
What's even sadder is that they also know that I'm this crazy kid's only friend. "
Zhang Lisheng carefully pinched the frog organs that he had separated and soaked them in a transparent alcohol bottle. He sighed in relief and said, "George, dissecting animals to excite one's senses is crazy.
Doing it for scientific research is' professional quality 'and' scientific spirit '. These are two completely different things. "
As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, he suddenly heard a series of shouts that were mixed with 'wow …' and 'shh …' coming from downstairs.
George ran to the window in a few steps and looked out. He saw a few black limousines parked by the street far away. A group of men in black suits surrounded a few beautiful ladies who were dressed gorgeously in the snow. They were walking slowly in Lowbige's school.
"George, the New York Girl's canvassing team is here in our school," George ran back to Zhang Lisheng excitedly and said, "It must be the beautiful ladies from Fordham High School who dares to come to Lowbige at this time and embarrass those frivolous girls who only want to know handsome guys and sports masters.
Let's go out secretly to cheer for Fordham's beauties and let those shallow girls in our school know that we're not to be messed with. "
