Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 168: War is coming to the wasteland again

"Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha!"

Just as Wall-E was adjusting to his newfound abilities, a panting sound was heard from behind him.

I didn't need to look back to know that Tiezhu must have returned.

Although it is still late at night, it is not surprising that this dog can do anything.

What's more, Xu Wang had just seen through the mental scan that Tiezhu rushed out the door and started digging the ground the moment he was resurrected.

It's easy to imagine that Tiezhu probably buried the leftover Death Claw meat.

Now that he was back, he dug out the meat and ate it himself.

Dogs have the natural instinct to dig holes and bury food, and Xu Wang also understands this.

It's just a little bit of dirt on it, no big deal, just wash it clean.

The most important thing is that the dog is very well behaved.

Xu Wang was very pleased that he even remembered to leave some meat for himself.

Turning around, Xu Wang squatted down, opened his arms, and intended to give the well-behaved dog a hug.

Tiezhu was also very excited.

He ran very fast with the Deathclaw in his mouth, saliva flowing from his mouth.

Just as he was about to rush in front of Xu Wang, Tie Zhu's smiling eyes suddenly widened in horror!

A pair of front feet suddenly brake!
With its mouth opened, the Deathclaw fell to the ground with its butt, and its whole dog face was distorted with fear!
I subconsciously turned around and wanted to run away.

But its potential energy of running forward has not been eliminated.

The front foot has already stopped and turned suddenly, but the back foot is still rushing forward.

Suddenly the whole dog flew upside down!

He sat down on his own head!

He fell to the ground in a mess!
"Ouch!"

Then Tiezhu immediately screamed, climbed up quickly, turned around and ran away.

"Stop right there! If you leave me no meat, you'll only leave me a piece of butt! I'll beat you to death!"

Xu Wang, holding a pair of slippers in his hand, followed the iron pillar all the way.

Although the iron pillar was not hit, the dog cried out miserably as if it had been chopped by a knife.

This made Xu Wang even doubt whether he was abusing the dog.

But when I think about the fact that my own people are dead and it hasn’t even been the seventh day yet.

This Tiezhu was happily eating barbecue on his own corpse, and when he was done he was only left with a piece of Deathclaw's butt, which made him very angry!

I don’t even know if there are any people dancing on graves!

Damn it!
Suddenly I feel so envious, it seems like such fun!

Xu Wang was so angry that he threw the slippers in his hand away!
The slippers made of liquid metal spun rapidly in the air, and finally hit the dog's head with a "pop"!

A slipper hit the back of my head.

The iron pillar straightened up on the spot and fell straight to the ground, motionless.

Xu Wang knew that this guy must be pretending to be dead.

Ignoring it, he picked up the slippers on the ground and hit the dog's butt again.

Then he grabbed a dog leg and dragged it towards the Horseshoe Stronghold.

Wall-E was already waiting there anxiously.

I don't know why Xu Wang and Tie Zhu started fighting out of the blue.

"Wally, get ready, we are going to Biscuit Town."

Xu Wang picked up the Deathclaw on the ground and stuffed it into his waist bag, while giving instructions to Walli.

"Now? So late?"

Wall-E was a little confused, but he quickly changed back into his crawler robot form, ran back home, and started closing the windows and doors.

On the other side, Xu Wang drove the Warhorse armored vehicle out of the garage, threw the iron pillar into the back seat, and sat in the driver's seat himself.

After little Wall-E had taken care of his household affairs and got in the car, Xu Wang started the car.

At this time, Xu Wang took out another enhanced light ball.

This is a ball of light called driving.

The effect was quite interesting, so Xu Wang strengthened himself without thinking.

[Driving]: Any controlled and movable object can be driven. Maximum speed is affected by the agility attribute. Each point of agility attribute increases the speed by 10 kilometers.

Xu Wang’s current agility attribute is 15.

In other words, any movable and controlled object in his hands can run at a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

You can get on the highway now.

Xu Wang shifted the car into gear, released the brake, and stepped on the accelerator.

The Warhorse armored vehicle immediately rushed towards Bing Town.

Xu Wang activated the [Driving] skill.

Under the influence of skills.

After the Warhorse armored vehicle's speed reached 150 yards, it could no longer accelerate.

Although this is not the top speed of the Warhorse armored vehicle.

Then Xu Wang looked at the fuel gauge and found that the gasoline level had not decreased at all.

Instead, he himself felt as if he was exercising.

In other words, when using driving skills, the vehicle's own fuel will not be consumed.

Xu Wang also felt it.

After the driving skill was unlocked, my driving skills have also improved significantly.

The entire Warhorse armored vehicle was under his control.

"Yah!"

Xu Wang cheered.

The warhorse maintained its maximum speed of 150 yards and galloped towards Bing Town.

Soon, Xu Wang arrived under the city wall of Bing Town.

But the situation in Bing Town made Xu Wang feel a little strange.

Tonight, there are still people guarding the city wall diligently and conscientiously.

You know, usually at this late hour, they would have closed the door and hid in the corner to take a nap.

Today is so abnormal, it is likely that something has happened again.

So Xu Wang drove the car to the city gate, stopped it, and honked the horn.

After the cockroach people’s attack on the city last time, Xu Wang’s reputation in Bing Town has greatly increased.

Almost all the guards knew him.

When he saw that it was Xu Wang coming, he immediately opened the city gate.

The guard who opened the door was still the cowardly guy.

It's called Anke.

Later, Xu Wang found out that he and Luke Yang also knew each other.

Luke Yang's fiancée, An Tieni, is Anke's biological sister.

I found a place to park the car near the city wall.

Xu Wang got out of the car and looked at An Ke: "Why are you working so hard today? Did someone from above come to inspect?"

Anke's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this.

Come on, Xu Wang was just saying it casually.

Looking at Anke's expression, he was probably right.

Xu Wang was not interested in the so-called leader. He just took out the crayon drawing that Wall-E had drawn and said to Anke, "Do you know this guy? He has different eyes, a member of the New Order Brotherhood, and his name is Moka."

Hearing the name of the New Order Brotherhood, Anke suddenly became nervous: "What do you do by asking about the members of the Brotherhood?"

Xu Wang snorted coldly and said unhappily: "I was having a barbecue at home, and this guy came out of nowhere and shot me in the head! I'm going to settle the score with him." "Huh?"

Anke obviously didn't understand the logic of Xu Wang's words.

What does it mean that he shot you in the head?

Isn't your head just sitting there on your neck?
Xu Wang shook the crayon drawing impatiently: "What are you daydreaming about? Did you hear me?"

Anke reacted immediately after being urged by Xu Wang.

Before he could answer, a group of people suddenly walked out from behind him.

The old man in the lead said directly: "Are you looking for someone from the New Order Brotherhood?"

Xu Wang turned around and saw a group of strangers behind him.

Among these strangers, only a few were wearing old suits, while the remaining dozen or so were all wearing military uniforms similar to rugby uniforms.

It is worth noting that.

Next to the old man in the suit stood the deputy mayor of Bing Town, the tall and thin red-haired old man Niuski.

The two old men were looking at Xu Wang at this time.

Niu Siji had a bitter look on his face and winked at Xu Wang, asking him to cooperate.

The old man in the suit seemed much more arrogant.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Wang with his nose, with a look of disdain: "I'm talking to you, answer me! Otherwise I have reason to believe that you are a spy sent by the Brotherhood."

The old man in the suit raised his head and said this in a haughty manner.

Then he saw Xu Wang, who was originally shorter than him, suddenly appeared in his sight and even looked down at him.

"Ok!"

The old man in the suit was startled, his eyes widened, and he took two steps back.

Only then did he see that Xu Wang had brought a folding ladder from the side and was standing on the ladder with his hands on his hips, looking at him.

Xu Wang: "Uncle, why are you looking at the sky? Is there something wrong with your neck?"

The old man in a suit was so angry that he blew his beard: "Where did this troublemaker come from? Who told you to stand so high? Catch him!"

As the old man in the suit gave the order, the dozen or so soldiers following him immediately raised their guns and shouted at Xu Wang.

While shouting, the soldiers quickly rushed up and surrounded Xu Wang.

Seeing this, Niuski quickly persuaded the old man in the suit in front of him: "No, no, no! Mr. Powell, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Don't hurt the harmony, otherwise it will be embarrassing."

The old man in a suit called Powell was livid: "He is just a lowly scavenger. How can he talk to me about face?"

Niu Siji's face was almost squeezed together: "I asked you to give him some face, otherwise you will lose face."

Powell's eyes widened and he turned to look at Niuski: "Niuski, is your brain sane?!"

"boom--!"

But at this moment, a shock wave suddenly hit!

Powell's body was shaken violently by the aftermath and he sat down on the ground.

The old man in the suit looked forward with a dizzy head.

Under the moonlight, all the soldiers in rugby uniforms had fallen to the ground.

Like a bunch of flattened cockroaches.

The only thing better than cockroaches is probably that they are still alive.

Jumped down from the ladder.

Xu Wang walked towards Powell step by step.

The old man seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the matter and immediately began to apologize.

"Hey! Do you know this guy?"

Xu Wang walked up to Powell and took out Moka's portrait again.

Powell shook his head violently: "I don't know anyone in the fraternity!"

Xu Wang looked around, picked up a folded parasol from the side, and stared coldly at the old man in the suit: "I advise you to reveal some useful information! Otherwise, I will stick this umbrella into your butt and then open it!"

Powell shuddered violently when he heard this!
After seeing Xu Wang's warning eyes and then looking at the three-meter-long parasol in his hand, her chrysanthemums suddenly tightened!
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the person in front of him was capable of doing such a thing.

I can’t imagine the scene of parasols among the blooming chrysanthemums.

Powell immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, Moka is a member of the Brotherhood who specializes in assassination. I don't know why you are looking for him.

But usually, you can't find them. They act alone or in small groups.

Unless you find the Brotherhood's stronghold directly."

Xu Wang nodded: "Then do you know where their base is?"

Powell immediately made a bitter face: "I'm telling you the truth, but you have to promise me that you won't poke me with that parasol."

"can."

Xu Wang nodded and threw away the parasol in his hand.

Powell immediately said, "Our New Alliance and the Brotherhood are hostile, so I really don't know where their base is. If you really want to find Moka, you can join our New Alliance. Our intelligence system can help you."

Xu Wang scratched his head: "Isn't it the same whether you said it or not?"

As he spoke, Xu Wang took out an ordinary umbrella from his waist bag and walked directly towards Powell.

Lao Deng was so frightened that his face turned pale and he turned around and tried to run away: "Didn't you say...Ahhh!!!"

Before he could finish his words, Powell screamed.

He lay on the ground with his butt sticking out, humming non-stop.

Xu Wang didn't even look at the man in the suit and said casually, "I just said no need for a parasol."

As he spoke, Xu Wang had already walked in front of Niu Siji.

He looked at Xu Wang with a very complicated expression, and in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

Xu Wang took out the butt of a deathclaw tied with a red plastic rope and threw it directly to Niu Siji: "Hey, don't say I'm stingy. The gift I give you is the meat of a deathclaw. Isn't it generous enough?"

As he spoke, Xu Wang had already come to Niu Siji's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and looked at Powell and the others who had fallen to the ground in front of them together with him: "What's going on with these people?"

Niuski shook his head: "Let's talk about it somewhere else."

Then he instructed Niu Hu, who was fully armed beside him, "Take Mr. Powell and the others to rest first and take good care of them."

Xu Wang followed Niu Siji into a fairly impressive wooden house in the town.

The first thing Niuski, who had just sat down, said was: "Leave here quickly. You can run anywhere, but it's best to go back to your shelter."

Xu Wang sat cross-legged on the table, propped up his chin and looked down at Niu Siji: "What do you mean? Is Lao Deng a big shot?"

Niu Siji shook his head: "He is not a big shot, but a big trouble. He is the new mayor of Bing Town sent by the New Alliance.

Powell's job was not just to be the mayor, his main tasks were to collect taxes and fight wars.

Our town not only has to pay taxes, but also has to collect grain. All of this tax grain will be sent to the front line."

Xu Wang was in the wasteland world, and it was quite unfamiliar to him to hear such words: "The New Alliance is going to go to war? Who are they going to fight against?"

Niuski's face was full of bitterness: "Who else could it be? The New Order Brotherhood you are looking for. Both the Brotherhood and the New Alliance inherited the legacy of the pre-war Federation. Both sides regard themselves as orthodox. For two hundred years, they have been at odds with each other and the war has never stopped."

The topic is a bit heavy.

Xu Wang thought for a moment and then asked, "What taxes do I have to pay? Do I have to pay taxes, too?"

Niuski took out a thick account book and put it on the table: "Originally it was paid once a quarter, last year it became twice a quarter, and today Powell came over, so it became three times a quarter.

As long as you are in the territory of the New Alliance, no matter who you are or what you do, whether you are a garbage collector, a farmer, a shop owner, or even a robber, you have to pay taxes, and of course you have to pay too.

But at this rate, few people in Bing Town can afford to pay taxes."

After hearing this, Xu Wang roughly knew what situation Niu Siji was facing.

There is nothing wrong with paying taxes, it is a very normal thing.

But such heavy taxes and a way of harvesting that leave no way for the bottom-level scavengers to survive are indeed no different from taking people's lives.

Xu Wang guessed.

I was shot for no apparent reason.

I guess it has something to do with the war between the two sides.

No matter what, this happened right under my nose.

He must take care of it.
