When Chu Tianjiang arrived, in addition to the shot that hit the lumbar vertebrae and paralyzed the lower half of his body, Mark also ate a rifle butt in his mouth, and all his teeth were smashed out. It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't blame Nichol, who shot too hard, because Mark tried to bite off his tongue.

The so-called "tongue biting suicide" is not actually about biting off the tongue and dying because of excessive bleeding from the wound, but about swallowing the severed tongue with blood and blocking the trachea, resulting in suffocation. In practice, it is very difficult to "bite your tongue and kill yourself", and most people bite off their tongues because they just don't want to tell the secret of knowing the Tao when they are tortured.

Mark wants to bite off his tongue to achieve this.

"Clean up the battlefield and leave no one alive." Chu Tianjiang grabbed Mark's back collar and dragged him up. "Nichol, return to the caravan and tell Stewart that the Skeleton Legion has been wiped out by us. Don't rush here, though, and give me some time to torture Mark. ”

Nichol nodded.

"Also, unplug the bullet from the body armor."

"For what?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "You count how many shots you have been shot. If you are a normal person, even if you have body armor, it is impossible to go unscathed. Also, there are bullet holes all over the pants and sleeves. Remember, find Maya first and change into a clean suit before going to meet Stewart. ”

Nichole stuck out his tongue and walked towards the dirt bike she was driving.

"Also, you come back alone and bring a clean set of clothes and pants for each of Rachel."

"Zhilu said, auntie, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I really can't stand it!"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a smile, didn't ramble anymore, and dragged Mark to a pile of rubbles next to the road. Although Rachel and the others have a strong psychological endurance and have tortured others, Chu Tianjiang still feels that they should not be allowed to see too cruel scenes.

Dealing with a hard bone like Mark, ordinary torture methods will definitely not make him cooperate immediately.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't have much hope for torture. After completely annihilating the Skeleton Legion, and then letting Stewart kill Mark with his own hands later, plus funding to expand the size of the caravan and providing a strong security guarantee, Chu Tianjiang has reason to believe that Stewart will trust him even more because of this.

Mark knows what he does, and Stuart definitely knows about it, maybe he knows more.

Besides, Mark is nothing more than a lackey of the white group in Houston, and according to Stewart, the white group in Houston has a total of twenty-four legions, and the Skull Army is only one of them, and it is not the most powerful, so Mark may not know the real secret of the road.

It took half an hour for Chu Tianjiang to confirm this judgment.

Mark is not only hard-mouthed, but also only acts on orders, only knowing that Stewart can't let Stuart reach Las Vegas, but he doesn't know the specific reason for it.

Chu Tianjiang did not execute Mark, but left him to Stewart.

By this time, Rachel had cleared the battlefield, executed some of the enemies who were not dying, and collected the enemy's weapons and ammunition.

Shortly after, Nichole drove back, and she had changed into clean clothes and trousers, and brought them clean clothes and pants for Rachel.

When the caravan arrived, Chu Tianjiang was already ready.

Stewart couldn't believe it, but he had to. The scope of the battlefield is not large, and it is not difficult to count the number of enemy corpses. In fact, there is no need to count them, the hundreds of guns and large quantities of ammunition stacked on the side of the road prove everything.

"He's Mark?"

"It's like a fake." Chu Tianjiang threw the dying Mark in front of Stewart, then pulled out his combat pistol and handed it over.

"I have a gun." Stewart pulled out a compact Glock 36 self-defense pistol.

Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, because the production of this gun is very small, and it is mainly sold in Europe, and the market in the United States is not ideal. The main thing is that this is a small self-defense pistol, but it uses 0. The 45-inch ACP high-power gun has a magazine capacity of only six rounds. For users who prefer to use high-power bullets, it is obviously unacceptable to the power and firepower continuity problems caused by the too short barrel and low ammunition capacity of self-defense pistols, and the proponents of self-defense pistols are unacceptable to overpower bullets.

Stewart grabbed Mark by the hair and put the muzzle of his gun to his forehead.

"I advise you not to pull the trigger." Seeing this, Chu Tianjiang immediately concluded that Stewart must have rarely used firearms.

"For what?" Stewart glanced up at Chu Tianjiang.

"It's going to get your hands dirty, and it's going to stain your clothes. If the muzzle of the gun is tilted a little higher, the fragment of the bullet will also cut off your left hand. ”

Stewart was stunned for a moment, immediately let go of his left hand, and took two steps back.

"Aim at the center of the eyebrows, all you need is one bullet."

Stewart smiled and abruptly put away his pistol. "Bullets are precious things, and I don't want to waste them on this bastard."

Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a smile, pulled out the dagger and handed it over.

Catching the dagger, Stewart asked, "How can I make his death a little more painful?" ”

"He's had enough."

Stewart stared at Chu Tianjiang and felt that Mark's hardships were not enough.

"If you have enough time, I can teach you many ways to make his death very painful. It's a pity that we still have to hurry, right? ”

Stewart was stunned for a moment and returned the dagger to Chu Tianjiang.

"What, you can't do it?"

"No, I thought of a solution." Stewart smiled and said, "This neighborhood is uninhabited for hundreds of kilometers, and no caravan will take in a cripple like him. He won't live long like this, so it's better to let him die slowly. ”

"There should be wolves around here."

"In that case, it couldn't be better."

"However, you should break his tendons so that he is powerless to resist."

"Is this necessary?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and handed the dagger over again.

This time, Stewart did not hesitate and used a dagger to cut the tendons in the wrists of Mark's hands.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang was not so careless. In order to prevent Mark from being rescued by a passing caravan, Chu Tianjiang carried him a few kilometers away from the road and then cut off his tongue.

Although it was very cruel, the cruel law of survival had long told Chu Tianjiang that he could not be merciful to the enemy.

As for the corpses of other enemies, it will only take a few days at most to be disposed of by coyotes that haunt the night and vultures that smell blood from afar.

After loading the captured weapons and ammunition into the vehicles, the caravan continued north.

That night, the caravan left Death Valley and set up camp beside a small lake that had not been frozen.

Although the biggest threat had been eliminated, Chu Tianjiang did not relax in the slightest. In the afternoon, Nicole and the others, who had gone out to reconnoitre, found traces left by the robbers. According to Stewart, the biggest enemy of a small caravan like theirs is not the legions of the separatist forces, but the robbers who are not controlled by the separatist forces and make a living by plundering caravans, and these robbers are specialized in dealing with small caravans.

After dinner, Chu Tianjiang declined Stewart's invitation and deployed a cordon around the camp to inspect the camp.

Of course, in order to hide from Stewart, he still arranged for the three Andrei brothers to take turns keeping vigils.

By the time he returned to camp, Stewart had fallen asleep with Carroll in his arms. Obviously, killing Mark and annihilating the Skeleton Legion finally relaxed Stewart's tense nerves, and also allowed him to let go of the burden in his heart and sleep comfortably.

Chu Tianjiang also wanted to sleep peacefully with Clara, but the conditions did not allow it.

Nichole and Rachel came to the door, and Chu Tianjiang knew what they wanted to do.

After leaving the town, we hadn't crossed a river or a lake with water, so we hadn't bathed for days. Although with Nichol's current system, that is, the body composed of energy bodies does not sweat at all, and can clean itself when it is stained with dust, so there is no need to take a bath, but for a few little women who are a little clean and more playful, it must be very uncomfortable not to take a bath for a few days.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang had no reason to refuse.

Although Chu Tianjiang has no habit of cleanliness and is not greedy for fun, but thinking of Nicol's performance during the day, Chu Tianjiang knows that he has to treat them well.

After instructing Andre to protect Clara, Chu Tianjiang took Nicol and the others to the other side of the lake.

The lake is not deep, but it is very clear, and there are many fish and shrimp. During the rainy season, the lake was several times larger than it is now. In the dry season, the lake begins to shrink as the rivers that flow into the lake cease out, and a large number of fish and shrimp can only gather in the middle of the lake.

Chu Tianjiang had to admit that women were made of water.

Not only Nicole and the others like to play in the water, but other women Chu Tianjiang knows, such as Clara and Anna, all like to soak in the water. What made Chu Tianjiang feel a little incomprehensible was that they all liked to be passionate in the water, and it seemed that being soaked in water was more likely to produce pleasure.

It was a very long night.

When everyone was happy, Chu Tianjiang floated on the water with Nicol in his arms, looking up at the bright night sky.

Although after coming into contact with the intelligent body of the great civilization, Chu Tianjiang knew that the starry sky was actually an image, an illusion created by the great civilization to confuse the micro-civilization, but the countless stars in the night sky still made Chu Tianjiang feel very beautiful, as if he had never seen such a bright starry sky before.

Soon, Nicole fell asleep.

Not long after, Rachel and the others, who were floating on the water by relying on Chu Tianjiang, also fell asleep.

Chu Tianjiang closed his eyes and let his whole body relax. After many attempts, he has mastered the way to stop his thoughts, which is how to fall asleep.

It's just that before he could fall asleep, the sudden sound of gunfire shattered everyone's dreams.
