There are always more scabbards than swords in the world.
[Part 1: We three brothers]
In the abandoned building on the outskirts of Eureka Volcano City, Foianini and Billy the Kid were together again, as well as the kid from the White Ape, the little fishman.
The anonymous people rescued them and asked them to find shelter, but there were too many monsters around the theater. They fled to the countryside away from the downtown area, and were eventually blocked in front of the canyon level and hid in an abandoned building.
The entrance and exit of the White Ape is in the wealthy villa area, which has been occupied by apostle monsters. The original satellite town has turned into a sparsely populated development zone, and at this moment, it has become the best hiding place.
Not to mention people, there are not even a few wild animals here, there are only many cranes and construction materials, unfinished buildings and iron dormitories.
"I'm sorry, Shark." Billy Boy said in frustration, "We want to make a fortune, but I'm afraid we have to wait a long, long time."
Foianini also looked decadent and annoyed: "If I had waited a little longer at Huaqi Bank, for half an hour, maybe I could have made some money! It's my fault!"
Billy: "No, no, no, it's my fault."
Foianini: "It's my fault!"
The little shark didn't take it seriously. He always thought that the two eldest brothers were people who did great things, so he took out a spatula and a rolling pin from the chef's bag and beat them hard, like beating a drum to cheer up.
"Don't talk! Don't talk! It's no one's fault! It's just that we are so unlucky!"
Billy Boy stopped talking and saw Shark's eyes——
——One of the fish eyes has just healed. Mrs. Bai’s product has cured the child’s eye-punching pain, but the two eyes are not coordinated and do not look very smart.
At this time, Billy Boy and Foianini pursed their lips and suddenly hugged Shark and cried bitterly.
The little shark was stunned for a moment, and its expression probably looked like this.
"Ah ′Д`!"
It didn't know why the two eldest brothers were crying, but the emotion was so contagious that it started to cry too, until it ran out of energy and the spatula and rolling pin in its hands fell down and hit the ground.
The fragile floor tiles dented, creating a crater——
——The three brothers heard the sound and looked over. They saw that the abandoned building was close to the window sill. Before they had time to seal the edge, the groove of the floor drain cracked with a crack as thick as an arm.
Foianini said indignantly: "What a rotten building! It's so heartless! Just drop something and break a hole."
"That's not right." Billy Boy's eyes were better. He was the only one among the brothers who had not been beaten. He followed the sunshine outside the window and looked into the dark corner. He immediately climbed down and took the shark's spatula and the
I took out the rolling pin.
Then Billy lay down on the concrete platform and fished it out with one hand. This was his old profession, and he had done similar work many times when he was digging and robbing graves in the City of Tears.
The gap in the floor drain was getting bigger and bigger, and many stone fragments broke into pieces and fell into the deeper hole. Billy the Kid used his right arm to make a hole the size of a basketball, and then fished out an antiseptic stone from the hole.
Waterproof vacuum bag.
Foianini: "Oh my God!"
The vacuum bag contains a stack of thick, brick-shaped pyroxene coins.
Billy the Kid was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect to find money at this juncture.
"Ah this"
Little Shark recognized the hundred dollar bill and immediately said: "Get rich! Brother Billy!"
Foianini: "Billy! Where did all this money come from?"
Billy the Kid didn't answer the question immediately. He continued to reach into the hole and fished out sixteen more vacuum bags, all of which were pyroxene coins.
Billy had never seen so much money in his life. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was very confused. This is an unfinished building in a development zone. Who would bury money here?
His head turned quickly and he grasped the main contradiction - it didn't matter who buried the money, what was important was that the three brothers had dug it out, and the downtown area of Eureka had now become a hell. It turned out that
Whether the owner can come back alive to withdraw the money is still unknown!
But the more Foianini looked at it, the more something was wrong. He was timid and carefully counted the money. He found that there were more than 3.4 million pyroxene currency in total, and he suddenly gave up.
"Billy has so much money, will we be noticed? Will we be hunted down?"
Billy gritted his teeth and shook his head violently.
"Never mind it! This is the development zone of Eureka. If the houses cannot be built or built, there must be a conflict between the city planning and the developers. It has nothing to do with us. These corrupt and corrupt people secretly hide their money here.
, but dare not send it to the bank, it must be a pest hiding from the city hall and the charity society, trying to enrich itself - what does it matter if we take it away?"
Foianini: "That's right!"
Billy Boy looked at Shark, immediately picked up the child and raised it high above his head.
"Shark! You are the luckiest Shark in the world! As soon as you open your mouth! Our wishes will come true!"
The little shark asked in surprise: "Really!"
Foianini shouted: "Yes, yes!"
After a while, Billy put Shasha down, and Shasha asked again: "Brother Billy! Can you buy a lot of meat with this money! Can you eat it until I grow up?!"
Billy hesitated for a moment——
——But Foianini kept shaking his head: "That's not possible! It's not enough!"
More than 3.4 million pyroxene currency was given to the three brothers in equal parts. Based on Shark Shark's physique as a disaster beast, it would take twenty-six years to pick Sosou and raise it until it reaches adulthood.
What's more, Billy the Kid and Foianini both have big dreams and are criminal elites, so it's impossible to work part-time.
Shark immediately pinched his round finned feet and said, "How much more is left?"
Billy the Kid thought - no amount of money is enough, right?
He didn't speak, he just squatted at the entrance of the abandoned building and looked out, catching a glimpse of another unfinished building on the opposite side of the road.
He said to Foianini: "I'll go and see if you protect the shark."
Foianini immediately said: "I will help you look out for the wind!"
Shark followed and said: "Someone is coming to harm you, and a monster is coming. I will beat the pot and drum immediately! Brother Billy! The monster will chase me when it hears the noise!"
Billy Boy had a complicated expression. He glanced at Foianini and then at Shark, who had just joined the criminal team. He didn't know what to say.
He crawled on his stomach and quickly and quietly climbed into another building from the wide road. He stepped along the first floor drain of the building. As expected, there was a fragile cement partition, which made him stomp on the ground vigorously.
It cracked, revealing a gap.
He immediately began to drill holes and took out more vacuum bags——
——It's full of money, countless money.
In this way, he produced more than 20 vacuum bags and more than 4 million pyroxene currency. He was almost overjoyed and smiled from ear to ear.
This money is enough for the three brothers to live a good life for more than ten years in a prosperous trading station. As long as the three brothers do not get involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, deceived by women, encounter life and death, and do not encounter the blackmail and robbery of the crazy Butterfly Holy Cult.
Billy's mind suddenly froze and stopped at this crazy butterfly cult.
He didn't dare to think too much, because this was his ideal. Since ancient times, eating meat has led to a more nourishing life than eating grass. But now that he has so much money, he really longs for a stable and peaceful life, and his ideal has also changed——
From joining the Crazy Butterfly Cult to becoming a criminal, he gradually became clear-eyed and became a good citizen who maintains order and upholds justice.
He continued to fish down, trying to fish out more money, fearing that it would not be enough after escaping from Eureka, but the next vacuum bag seemed to be unmovable and could not be fished out.
He gasped for breath and even used psychic threads to help his arms pull the belongings. He suddenly straightened his body and used all his strength to tear the packaging.
Listen for a "click" sound.
The bag was pulled up, but it also brought some strange things.
Billy the Kid took a closer look and was horrified to see that there was a severed arm attached to the bag wrapping the money, and that arm had turned into a mummy.
Its nails were cracked, as if they were scratches on the stone wall in the dark cave of the floor drain, and they were injured while trying to climb up the ground. The corpse was suppressed by more than 20 heavy bags before it was alive, and it could not stretch out its arms and legs, even the top of its head.
The partition can be cracked with one step, and it won't be able to get out.
Who is the owner of this arm? Billy didn't dare to think too much, and it was not his turn to think.
The discovery of such a corpse from a blind box in an unfinished building also caused some mental damage to Billy the Kid. He hugged the money in a panic, dropped the severed arm of the mummy, and ran back as fast as he could.
Foianini saw his eldest brother coming back with a lot of fruits from a distance. He was almost overjoyed and wanted to go out to greet him.
Billy boy immediately knocked the ignorant second brother back into the door, already covered in cold sweat.
He looked nervous and had a guilty conscience. The reiatsu environment created by the incarnation butterfly and the apostle had already exhausted this psyker mentally and physically.
"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound! Don't"
Billy was out of his mind and stared nervously at the quiet outdoor road. When he lowered his head to take a closer look at the loot, he felt like he was going to die!
The thing in my arms is not money at all!
Billy's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He saw Foianini happily throwing up broken bones. The bones were like human spines, and the dehydrated texture was thrown up and down one after another in his brother's hands.
Little Shark hugged the two shriveled human heads and spun them around in circles, making a weird sound of laughter from his mouth.
He was almost too frightened to say anything, and the pile of money in his arms made a strange noise in an instant.
It was the strange sound of moving the corpse shells, their internal organs deforming, and gas leaking from the fleshy membranes of the cavities.
Billy the Kid's madness index increased sharply in an instant, and he was caught by the Dream Demon! At that moment, he fell into the door of death. Now, any touch or attack can make his heart stop and cause convulsions and shock!
After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses and was freed from his state of mental exhaustion.
His whole body was covered in sweat, and he looked at the objects in his arms clearly again, convinced that these were all hallucinations - Shark and Foianini were not crazy, but he himself was going crazy.
"Brother Billy!" Sharksha grabbed Billy's hand: "Where did all this money come from!"
The little shark doesn't know where the unfinished buildings in the development zone came from, nor does it know the operating rules of Eureka Volcano City.
Foianini knew exactly where the money came from.
The two brothers explained to Little Shark for a long time, and finally told them everything they had speculated in their minds, what had actually happened, and the money they had received.
This money is likely to be a bribe privately accepted by the Eureka Real Estate and Land Bureau. The reason for the indefinite delay in the construction period of the development zone is also related to the land price in the downtown area. Once the buildings here are built, the land in the city center will fall - among them
None of the merchants and companies involved would allow this to happen.
"How strange!" Shark listened for a long time and finally understood the math problem. It just sighed: "How strange!"
Billy the Kid: "What's weird?"
Shasha continued: "They are all rich people, right?"
Foianini: "Yes!"
Sharksha continued: "They will definitely not have to worry about food, clothing, or money throughout their lives, right?"
Foianini: "Yes!"
Sharksha finally asked: "Then why do you still need to make money? I heard Grandpa Khan say that there are many people in Eureka who seem to be very rich, but in fact they don't even have their own houses. Why should the rich earn money from the poor?
Where is the money? Obviously the poor have nothing.”
Billy smiled awkwardly——
——The two brothers can’t answer this question. No matter how great the economists are in the world, they can’t answer it.
When Shark Shark saw that the two eldest brothers looked unhappy, he knocked on the pan to boost their morale.
Its expression also became sparkling.
"?(???), we are getting rich! Brother Billy! You didn't lie to me! Sure enough, I can make a lot of money by following you!"
The three brothers laughed heartily. Billy took off his warm coat and tied up the money with Foianini.
[part2·The only way]
Billy no longer dared to dig for treasures in other rooms. Not to mention whether he could take these heavy banknotes with him or not, just the surprise in the blind box could drive him crazy.
——It's just that fate played another minor joke on the three brothers.
When they packed up their treasures, they were ready to wait for the disaster to pass and live a good life.
There was a burst of noisy voices from the main road leading from Canyon Pass to the downtown area, followed by the sound of speeding vehicles, and then the sound of gunshots.
Foianini lowered the heads of the two brothers and hid in the corner of the stairs, while gongs and drums were loud and gunfire roared outside the building.
The dust in the unfinished building was shaken off by these movements and sprinkled on Shark's head. It immediately sneezed and asked the panicked Billy the Kid to cover his mouth and nose for fear of attracting the enemy.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of gunfire gradually became weaker, as if it had left.
Billy just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out from the corner of the stairs to observe the situation, but the sudden sound of the engine forced him back.
It was like there was a guy driving a car and running away, attracting a large group of Canyon Pass defenders to chase him.
The vehicle finally got rid of the followers. Billy took a closer look and saw a tank rushing down from the main road outside the window toward the gravel field in the countryside.
The tank's turret and side armor were full of blackened bomb crater marks. It rushed into the field, into the neighborhood where the three brothers lived, and into the construction site next door.
Billy the Kid was sure that no troops from Canyon Pass were following him. He could not see other Snow Owl defense vehicles, and no infantrymen from the Crazy Butterfly gang were following him. He finally stepped forward to observe the tanks.
The uninvited guest next door emerged from the turret. The man was covered in blood. He limped over the vehicle while holding his stomach. He pulled a tarpaulin from the construction site and covered the tank.
He was an experienced soldier. He aimed the turret into the yellow sand at the construction site and hid the tank.
The soldier collapsed on the ground and took out a cigarette from his pocket——
——Billy the Kid and Foianini are both psykers, and they have excellent eyesight. They were standing next to the window sill watching this scene nervously.
The cigarette was stained red with blood. He had to choose from a whole box of cigarettes, and finally selected a good white cigarette. The soldier picked it up, looked around the environment, and then lay down in the concrete bucket to light a fire, fearing that the enemy would find him.
Firelight.
He just sat there, slowly and leisurely finished his cigarette, and finally gained the strength to push himself up and walk towards where Billy the Kid was.
All of a sudden, Billy and Foianini’s hearts jumped into their throats!
They didn't know where this guy came from or what he wanted to do.
But there's only a little difference, just a little difference, and the brothers can live a good life!
For a moment, Foianini wanted to go to the reservoir side of the abandoned building to find some water pipes to defend himself, or simply kill the unknown warrior to minimize the risk of exposure!
"Save him!" Shark shook Billy the Kid's arm: "Brother! Save him!"
Billy looked out the window at the soldiers getting closer and closer, and then looked at Shark.
He didn't know what to choose, but Shark had already made the choice for them.
Sharksha said eagerly: "He is against Eureka's militia! He must be the sworn enemy of the Mercy Society! Those who are against the Mercy Society! They are all good people! Good people must be rewarded!"
Foianini then said: "Yes! Good people must be rewarded!"
Billy nodded as the brothers said.
Sharksha seemed to think it was not enough and kept emphasizing.
"Good people must be rewarded! Brother! Otherwise the world will get bad! Otherwise the world will get bad!"
In those ten seconds, Billy was still holding on to the money bag. He didn't know what this strange soldier meant to the three brothers.
This guy could survive the pursuit by the garrison at Canyon Pass. He must be a good fighter. We took him into the house and got on the same boat as him. If he was caught by the garrison, he would definitely be punished by death.
Will this guy get greedy when he sees such a huge sum of money? Will this guy kill us?
Billy had no time to think, because Shark walked out on his own initiative. He was first frightened by the injuries on the soldier's body, and then by the gun in the soldier's hand.
When the soldier outside the door walked to the door of the room, he was startled when he saw the shark jumping out. He instinctively wanted to open fire - but when he saw such a half-year-old child, he finally relaxed his vigilance.
The soldier asked: "Are they civilians?"
Foianini felt very warm when he heard this, because most of the people who rescued the brothers spoke Chinese.
The three brothers welcomed this soldier in——
——The soldier slumped against the wall. Shark brought a bucket of water from the reservoir and washed the wounded man's face.
The brothers finally recognized this guy, it was Liu Weiqiang.
Speaking of which, Brother Qiang was originally going to evacuate with the students and return to a safe place through the underground waterway of the White Ape.
At this moment, he appears here.
Billy exclaimed: "It's the anonymous person?!"
Foianini and Shark both saw Brother Qiang when they were washing dishes and delivering meals on the White Ape.
Foianini asked: "Why didn't you leave?"
Brother Qiang peeled off the blood-stained armor, and it hurt so much that he couldn't open his eyes. His hair was a mess, covered in mud and blood. He didn't say anything. Xu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and pointed at the package he was carrying.
Shasha immediately dug out Mrs. Bai's freeze-dried powder and wanted to make a fire on the spot to treat Brother Qiang's injuries.
Brother Qiang held down Little Shark's head and asked Shark to stop messing around. The fire and smoke would attract the garrison. He took out the kettle, handed over the lighter, and asked Foianini to help heat Lady White's products.
Billy the Kid rummaged through his backpack, trying to find weapons for self-defense, but he only found a few empty bottles. It seemed that Brother Qiang had used up all his elixir.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After taking a breath, Brother Qiang finally said.
"I'm not leaving."
Foianini: "Why? We brothers are eager to escape through the water channel of the White Ape!"
"I'm different." Brother Qiang pursed his lips and pulled out a rearview mirror from behind his buttocks. It was removed from an enemy armored vehicle. He looked at himself in the mirror and used tweezers to remove the shrapnel from his skin bit by bit.
.
He explained while operating on himself.
"I'm different, boys, I'm different."
He turned his head, his eyes sharp.
"The Panther tank behind me was snatched from Canyon Pass. I have to do something to create chaos in the enemy's position so that the brothers in the attack team can have fewer casualties when they have a decisive battle."
"The students haven't grown up yet. They don't have to face cunning and vicious enemies, and they don't have to risk their lives. They can escape again and again until they are ready, grow up, and then choose the path they must take in life.
"
"But I can't do it, boys, I can't do it. I am a station attendant and a soldier. I must fulfill my vocation."
"There is a girl waiting for me at Jiujie Station."
Brother Qiang patted Billy the Kid on the face. He groaned in pain because of the wounds on his legs and waist, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"I snatched a German car. It was a panzer tank left behind by the German army when they were searching for Shambhala during World War II."
"I just remembered a German fairy tale proverb that said this."
"There are always more scabbards than swords in the world, and there are always more people who want to enjoy happiness than people who create happiness - that's the truth, right?"
Billy the Kid looked at the tank at the construction site next door, and it was hard to imagine how Brother Qiang drove it back here alone.
A tank requires an entire crew to cooperate with each other in order to exert its full combat effectiveness. Brother Qiang could only sit in the driver's seat and be beaten passively, so he escaped here.
"I will follow the students back, but in the end I still have to answer the emergency summons." Brother Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why don't we deploy nearby and start fighting immediately. If the girl from my hometown knows about it, she will definitely look at me highly - she will definitely
If you put a flower crown on me with your own hands, she will definitely embrace me and make me her groom."
Shark Shark raised his arms: "Uncle! I want to drive a chariot!"
"You can't drive this" Brother Qiang laughed loudly, "You can't even step on the accelerator."
Billy was surprised and said: "How could you?"
Shark's eyes were firm: "I can be an artilleryman! I can be a loader! My hands are very flexible!"
Brother Qiang looked at the three brothers and it seemed like this was the case.
Sharksha then said——
"——When I grow up, I still have to come back for revenge! Why not deploy nearby! Start fighting immediately!"
Foianini tacitly understood this and looked at Billy the Kid with deep meaning.
"Billy! I know what you're going to say! We can't get out of the canyon with this bag of money! And with the money on our backs, we might as well put it in a chariot! I don't want to be a coward anymore.
I don’t want to hide anymore! I don’t want to leave my fate to others!”
"Okay" Billy returned the boiling kettle to Brother Qiang, "Okay! Brother Qiang, can we do this?"
Liu Weiqiang tore off his clothes and found Mrs. Bai's products for both internal and external use.
He regained some energy and raised his head to look at the three brothers.
"Do you want me to tell the truth?"
Billy nodded.
Foianini: "Of course it's the truth."
Shark: "Tell the truth! Tell the truth!"
Liu Weiqiang: "Have you ever driven a car? A tank?"
Foianini: "I haven't even touched the steering wheel. Does it count as driving a chariot in the WT game?"
Shark Shark: "Grandpa Khan took me to play! Dad's dad is grandpa!"
Billy: "I've driven a car, but I've never driven a chariot."
Liu Weiqiang: "Have you ever fired a gun?"
Shark Shark: "Grandpa Khan took me to play! The kind where everyone can shine!"
Foianini: "I have fired a gun, but the caliber is definitely not as good as the coaxial machine gun of a tank. Does shooting experience in CG games count?"
Billy: "I never fired a gun. I had a gun in my stomach."
Liu Weiqiang tells the truth——
"——According to this statement, we are dead."
The three brothers all became depressed at the same time.
Brother Qiang thought for a while and changed his statement.
"But with me as the commander here, we should have a narrow escape."
