It didn't take long for Iron Slag to drive the locomotive to the north gate of Tieshan Town. From a distance, there is a white light box erected on the side of the street, with a red cross pasted on it, and the words "Passing Water Years, Miao Miao Immortal Doctor" are written. After getting closer, the iron slag drove the locomotive directly onto the sidewalk and stopped at the entrance of the small clinic.

"Narcissus Doctor!" He shouted inside.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat pushed the door and walked out. He wears a white beanie on his head and deep glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving him a very Sven look. After seeing Iron Slag, he looked very happy and asked, "Iron Slag, how did you do what I told you last time?" ”

"I asked everywhere, the small nuclear furnace is the high-end technology of Yincheng, the parts you want are not so easy to find, I heard that it is made of super alloy." Iron Slag replied.

"Yes, the core part is super-density alloys, and only that metal can withstand the energy of a nuclear reactor while reducing weight." Dr. Narcissus said excitedly.

"I'll keep inquiring." Iron Slag replied, and then explained the intention.

After a few moments, he returned to the Narcissus Doctor's Clinic to fetch the medicine box and opened it in front of the iron slag, explaining the amount of each potion and how to use it. The blue agent is used to neutralize the mixed toxins of the sand scorpion and must be administered intravenously within three minutes of poisoning. The red agent is used to treat the stinger of Huangshafeng, and it is necessary to immediately pick out the stinger from the wound and then inject it intramuscularly. The purple agent is used for various poisonous insect bites, and it can be applied directly to the wound.

After the explanation, Dr. Narcissus took out a metal cylinder about ten centimeters long, carefully handed it to the iron slag, and instructed, "This is an anabolic steroid stimulant, and it is best not to use it until the last resort." ”

Iron Slag took it with both hands, carefully stuffed it into the pocket on his chest, then took out two gold coins and stuffed them into the hands of the Narcissus Doctor, and said, "I'm going to Sand City tomorrow, is there anything I need to carry?" ”

Dr. Narcissus asked him to wait, went back to the clinic and wrote a note to him, and returned the two gold coins to him, saying, "When you get to Sand City, you can buy it if you have it, and forget it if you don't have it." ”

Iron Slag looked at the names of the dense potions on it, felt a little numb on his scalp, and asked, "I don't understand, what should I do if people lie to me?" ”

"You don't have to go to the black market to buy it, buy it at the pharmacy next to the city hall in Sanda City, there will be no deception." Dr. Narcissus replied.

Iron Slag put away the note, said goodbye to the daffodil, and then tightened the throttle, and the engine immediately rang out with a low roar. A few seconds later, the locomotive rushed into the street and roared away......

"Have a safe journey." Looking at the figure of the iron slag in the distance, the narcissus doctor said to himself.

At the same time, in the stronghold of the iron slag, the third lady of the Lombal family was sulking. She was in pain as she ate dry bread that was hard to swallow and drank slightly salty water. Although the treatment was much better than the previous few days, she was still not satisfied. She had never had such an experience, she hadn't showered for three whole days, and her whole body was slimy, it was just terrible.

Before she knew it, she had come to think that it was the boy's duty to fill her stomach with a good dinner and to bathe her with a full bathtub of water. So, after she finished eating, she rummaged around the stronghold with this idea. Soon, she found a cylindrical stainless steel container on top of the container, and when she opened the lid, she saw that it was filled with water.

"Yay~" You Ge shouted happily, then stripped naked and jumped in.

With a "plop", the girl's dazzling white body burrowed into the cool water, and every inch of her skin greedily absorbed water. She felt so happy that she was about to faint, lazily lying on the edge of the stainless steel container, enjoying the cold comfort coming from her body.

After a few days of exhaustion, coupled with the fact that she was comfortably soaking in the water at the moment, her whole body relaxed and slowly fell asleep......

In the dream, she returned to the manor of Silver City Seventeen, and in the spacious and luxurious, crystal stone ground hall, she lay in the white bathtub. The fierce teenager was kneeling on the ground with a fruit plate, begging her to take a little extra vitamins. She stretched out her slender, white feet and slowly hooked the other's chin......

After about twenty minutes, Iron Slag drove back in the locomotive. As soon as he closed the door, he turned his head to see You Ge lying asleep on the edge of the cistern. He was dumbfounded, it was his drinking water for three months!

"Come out!" Iron slag was so angry that he roared loudly.

The girl was woken up by the voice, and beckoned to him with sleepy eyes, and said vaguely, "Little girl, bring a bath towel for Miss Ben." ”

The iron slag climbed onto the container and walked towards the cistern step by step, the boots stepping on the iron sheet and making a "bang-bang-bang" sound.

You Ge looked at the iron slag that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly woke up, and then calmed down again, and shouted at him in a glutinous voice, "Come on~ take a bath with my sister." ”

Iron Slag was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stopped. Maybe it's because Lena has cast so much shadow on him that he's a little sensitive to the word "sister".

Seeing his reaction, You Ge laughed even happier, and shouted unscrupulously while splashing water out, "Come on, come on~"

"Get out!" Iron Slag suddenly came to his senses and roared angrily. I saw him pull out his shotgun, and with a "click", he opened the barrel and loaded it, and then raised the gun to aim at the girl.

"Come on, hit my sister." You Ge craned his neck without fear.

"Beware of misfire!" Iron Slag threatened in a deep voice.

You Ge looked at him with a grin and said, "You didn't have a bullet, I used this old-fashioned double-barreled hunting/gun in the training ground." ”

Iron Slag suddenly felt bad, and angrily stepped forward and grabbed her by the arm, pulled her out of the cistern, and then smashed the uniform that Lena had given him on her, and ordered, "Change your clothes, and then go down for me!" ”

You Ge glanced at him, slowly changed his clothes, and tied his military belt. The size of this uniform is slightly larger, and the sleeves and trousers need to be rolled up. After dressing up, You Ge noticed that the iron slag was facing away from her, looking away. So she stood on her tiptoes and crept over to startle him.

But at this moment, the iron slag suddenly turned around, picked her up, and jumped out of the container and threw her on the ground.

"Ah, it hurts!" You Ge fell heavily on the ground, and his tailbone hit a small stone, and he immediately couldn't stand up in pain. Seeing the tears shining in her eyes, Tie Slag hurriedly picked her up, and then saw the pebbles on the ground, and couldn't help laughing. With tears in his eyes, You Ge hammered his shoulder hard and scolded, "It's so bad! ”

"Water is for drinking, but you are for bathing, so what will I drink after that?" Iron Slag asked solemnly.

"Drink my sister's bath water to grow your body." You Ge said with a smile.

Listening to her heartless answer, Iron Slag was about to throw her to the ground again, so frightened that she hurriedly hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry, You Ge was wrong." ”

Iron Slag sighed helplessly, put her down, and then said seriously, "We will go to the Endless Sand Sea tomorrow morning, and there are some things that must be clarified with you first." You Ge nodded obediently, and Iron Slag continued, "Although you once landed there and stayed for a day, I'm sure you're only on the edge of the endless sea of sand, not in the depths. ”

Then, Tie Slag took out a map, spread it out on the small table, and told You Ge about it......

Endless sea of sand, as her name suggests, endless desert ocean. There are countless dangers, and death is the most commonplace. Since ancient times, only the most cautious, intelligent, and courageous travelers have been able to cross the endless sea of sand alone. Every tiny mistake can take their lives. The giant sandworm, which is more than 20 meters long, is like a beast from ancient times, lurking under the shallow sand, ruthlessly devouring all life in the desert......

"I'm not going." You Ge shouted squeamishly.

Iron Slag scratched his head, feeling that something had been said, so he changed his tone and explained, "I go every three months, it's not a big deal, as long as you are obedient, I can guarantee your safety." ”

"Can you get around?" You Ge asked.

"It only takes three days to cross the endless sea of sand to reach Sand City, and it takes a month to get around, and you have to resupply in many small towns along the way." Iron Slag spread his hands and said, "To me, people are more terrible than sandworms. ”

"Will you protect me if there is danger?" You Ge stared at him, the stars shining in his eyes.

Iron Slag habitually turned his face away and said, "Yes, you are a pile of glittering gold, of course I will protect you." ”

"Okay......" You Ge lowered his eyes, walked into the container with a gloomy expression, and silently closed the door.

Looking at the closed container door, Iron Slag shook his head and began to pack his things. Crossing the endless sea of sand requires quilts, tents, medicine, water, food, weapons, and ammunition. He checked, packed, and loaded piece by piece, and before he knew it, he was busy until late at night.

The moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and Iron Slag looked at what was prepared, stretched, pulled over a chair, and lay down. After a busy day, he was really tired, and he let out a slight snoring sound after lying down for a long time.

Quietly, the door of the container gently opened a gap......

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Iron Slag woke up and found that he was covered with a blanket. A warmth suddenly came to my heart, since the death of my adoptive father, no one has covered him with a quilt for a long time. However, he just habitually forgot about Lena. Then, he knocked on the door of the container. You Ge walked out neatly dressed and said expressionlessly, "Let's go." ”

Iron Slag took out the pistol and two cartridges of bullets that Lao Niu gave him, handed them over, and asked, "Will it be used?" ”

You Ge didn't answer, took the gun and bullets, skillfully checked, loaded, and pulled the bolt, and the complicated movements were done in one go.

"Yes." Iron Slag exclaimed. This kind of proficiency is not something that ordinary people can do.

She snorted lightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will resist?" ”

"I repeat, we may not be friends, but we certainly won't be enemies." Iron Slag said.

"You're a human trafficker, and we're at odds." You Ge snorted again. With a gun in her hand, she is much more confident.

"It's a fair deal, I put my life in exchange for one milligram of radium-2315, and then I traded it for you, and then risked my life to send you to Sand City, should you pay accordingly?"

"Cut~ Send me back to the seventeenth silver city, I will return you 10,000 milligrams, no! 100,000 milligrams! ”

Iron Slag then narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "So I won't believe you, never." ”

"You...... Why don't you believe me, why! You Ge gritted his teeth and said, "What did I do to be sorry for you!" ”

"The people above you have never regarded us as human beings, never!" Iron Slag roared back.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, you can casually say who to give 100,000 milligrams of radium-2315. ”

"That's right, it's your right."

"But have you ever thought about it, what you regard as garbage is being snatched up by us like a treasure, and even pay the price of your life."

"The result?"

"As a result, without this thing that you regard as garbage, you would have already been ravaged by countless men in an alley in the inner street!"

In the face of the boy's roar, Yuge Lombard, the sharp-toothed third lady of the Lombal family, didn't know how to answer.

It's not that he doesn't believe her, it's that he doesn't believe in all the "people above".
