The City of Terror

Chapter 378: Chapter 378 – Local God Coming Out From Closed Doors!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

He was not a real saint and only pretended to be so as he wanted to gain some reputation among the soldiers.

In short, he wanted to become their leader.

In the previous battle, he had used a dagger to kill a Fire Crow and soon began to feel significant changes to his body.

There was no doubt that this was a mystical place. Here, he could become as powerful as the man in front of him.

However, the precondition was that he did not die. Thus, he needed to obtain the command of these soldiers to become safer when seeking to gain more strength.

Additionally, although Wei Xiao Bei had killed Loar, he knew that he was in the right, so he was not afraid of the other side killing him.

With an eighty percent guarantee of succeeding, Thomas decided to step out and use Wei Xiao Bei’s prestige to make the rest of the soldiers fall under his command.

However, he never imagined that Wei Xiao Bei would approach him.

When he was finally facing Wei Xiao Bei, only then did it come to his mind that it was Wei Xiao Bei who had killed the Sacred Beetle.

If the other side wanted to kill him, then extending his hand would be enough.

Due to his nervousness, Thomas unconsciously felt around his body and was happy to discover that he still had a handgun on his waist!

He pulled out the gun and pointed at Wei Xiao Bei, “Stand still! Kneel down! And put your hands behind your head!”

It could be said that when humans were in an extremely tense state, everything they did would appear silly.

The rest of the soldiers could not help but look at Thomas with a funny expression.

Think before you act! The man covered in blood and dust right in front of you is not some kind chap!

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Wei Xiao Bei was not someone like Liu Bei who would turn the other cheek!

With one kick grains of sand shot out, hitting Thomas’ chest in an instant. The sand shot out, forming countless bullets that instantly pierced Thomas’ chest and turned him into a human beehive.

Fresh blood immediately poured out from his wounds.

Although the wounds were small, there were many of them, instantly causing Thomas to lose a significant portion of his blood.

Losing blood was not a huge deal, but his internal organs bleeding from the attack was deadly. Thomas did not even have the chance to pull the trigger as his body swayed and collapsed on the sand.

The scene had left the soldiers unable to speak or even gulp.

With just one kick of sand, a strong man like Thomas had been instantly killed. How terrifying was this?

There was no doubt that the reverence the soldiers felt toward him had increased after seeing this.

“Great. Now that the noisy sparrow had disappeared, let us talk.”

If they did not know about the previous events, they would have thought that Wei Xiao Bei was simply a young lad from the sound of his voice.

However, when thought about in conjunction with what they had just witnessed, the soldiers sensed a hidden threat in his voice.

Not a single soldier replied. They were afraid of becoming the second Thomas.

There was no doubt that these soldiers were unwilling to play around with their lives after surviving against the monsters.

Being silent was the best thing to do at the moment. Since the man was willing to speak, he should at least not eliminate them, right?

Wei Xiao Bei did not care about the silent soldiers and continued, “Tell me, what is your choice? Do you choose death or swearing fealty to me?”

Wei Xiao Bei wanted to force the soldiers into submission.

For the soldiers to survive until now, they must have a certain amount of luck.

It must be known that when he first entered the Dust World, he would have died if he encountered the same situation as them.

Additionally, these people were not bad in terms of skill. After all, they were active soldiers serving the American military. Moreover, they had killed a few monsters, thus they were a bit stronger than normal people.

Plus, the newly opened security company that Wei Xing Wu started was lacking skilled workers, so he could place these people inside the company and slowly nurture them. In the future, he would let Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun be their caretakers and bring them into the Dust World for training. It would become a small but powerful force.

Wei Xiao Bei had already worked out that the chances of normal people entering the Dust World had increased.

Just like how he encountered the American forces, hundreds of people would be able to enter the Dust World at once. Then in the future, there might be more groups that come in with a leader among them. If they had been attacked by the monsters without interference, then somewhere close to twenty would probably survive for every hundred. If it was like then they only need to find a way to enter the Dust World, which would cause the formation of powerful Dust World groups very quickly.

Naturally, situations like this might be rare, but the number of ability users from the Dust World would increase.

Organizations like Ash Gray might also increase in size, and more may pop up.

If it was like that, a single warrior like Wei Xiao Bei might be put in a dangerous and troublesome situation.

The possibility of danger was not aimed toward him but on his friends and family.

His reasoning was simple. Not every human being was a good person, so the cartoons which showed no innocents being harmed could only be used to amuse kindergarteners.

If two sides truly become life or death enemies, then the methods they used would not matter anymore.

Let alone family and friends, if Wei Xiao Bei had been careless and attacked a stranger, the effect would quickly ripple and spread.

However, if he builds his influence, then he could at least protect his family and friends. In many cases, collective strength could allow one to perform multiple tasks at once.

For example, if he was training in the Dust World, then he could have people protect his family in the real world.

Naturally, it would be difficult for him to create such a strict organization.

Wei Xiao Bei only wanted to find a few helping hands. As for the other matters, he planned to let Wei Xing Wu handle them, and let Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun assist also. Naturally, this was intended to both monitor and temper his two disciples.

“Death or allegiance?”

Toward Wei Xiao Bei’s question, the soldiers were stunned. As humans who had lived in times of peace, they had been through many battles, but they had never encountered such a direct question.

There was definitely no one who would choose death here, but allegiance?

They had already sworn allegiance to their country, though this was only done for them to obtain a permanent residency permit and to earn money. Those who were truly loyal had already died when they entered the Dust World.

Swearing allegiance to someone was too much. They were not in the middle ages anymore, nor was Wei Xiao Bei some kind of king and they were knights!

Although everyone’s hearts were muttering such thoughts, they were unwilling to manifest them aloud.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that the majority of the soldiers were only willing in words but not with their hearts. If he was in their situation, he would not be willing to swear allegiance for no reason.

Naturally, he did not dare guarantee that these soldiers would listen to him, but at the very least, they would not be able to return back to the army after entering the Dust World.

The reason why was simple. They had disappeared with so much equipment yet only slightly more than ten people could return.

With the history of the US, these soldiers might be immediately and directly sent to a research institute to be studied. Leaving the research institutes completely intact was definitely not possible.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had to make some preparations. Otherwise, if any of the soldiers divulged the truth and someone believed them, it would attract some trouble.

Just when Wei Xiao Bei had activated his [Precise Calculation] and tried to think about how to help these soldiers leave Hawaii and sort out their various arrangements, an old voice rung in Wei Xiao Bei’s head, “Little brother Wei. Little brother Wei, are you safe right now?”

Eh?

Wei Xiao Bei tensed up when he heard the sound. He immediately entered into a battle stance.

“Who is it?”

Wei Xiao Bei felt that this voice had a relationship with him and a bit familiar. He immediately began to converse with the old voice in his head.

“It is Old Man Ge Da Tian. Have you forgotten already little brother Wei?”

The old voice carried an ecstatic feeling as if he had encountered something to be happy about.

Ge Da Tian?

Wei Xiao Bei immediately searched for the name in his memory. He quickly pulled up the name Ge Da Tian.

Name: Ge Da Tian

Race: Human (spiritual)

Official position: Lai Longgang Local God

He finally remembered that it was the Lai Longgang Local God.

Once he found the relevant memory, Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood why the voice sounded familiar.

“So its Lord Local God. Have you come out of closed-door cultivation?”

When Wei Xiao Bei had previously gone to the Bai Ta County Dust World, he went to the Local God Temple. There he created the immortal quality congee under the help of the local god, then continuing on to Bai Ta Hill where he exchanged the congee for a storage bag from the Ming Lun Envoy.

The relationship between them had become more intimate, especially after they made a life and death agreement.

However, Wei Xiao Bei had been quite busy these days, and as a result, had almost forgotten about him.

“Oh, this old man has exited. You are quite far away I’m afraid, wait for this old man and I will get there quickly.”

After saying this, Ge Da Tian became silent.

Wei Xiao Bei tried to get a response from the contract and noticed that he was indeed quite far away at a distance of about two thousand kilometers!

However, after the local god said he would come to him, the distance between them was quickly shrinking.

It was very clear that the local god was, just as he said, going to him.

Wei Xiao Bei felt as though there was a lot of information he could gain from the now significantly strengthened old man.
