Chapter 23 Desert Gas Station - 10 "…………
"...Why isn't there much blood?" Tang Bufan muttered, looking at Anderson's arm.
The tiny bullet holes on Anderson's body looked like beans, while Tang Bufan had previously used this gun to blow the head off the poison man.
"Little Tang, the muscle strength of a high-level orc after transformation is no less than that of a bulletproof vest. Even if you shoot at his heart, the muscles in his chest will block the bullet, and it won't even touch his heart," Kai explained to Tang Bufan in a gentle electronic male voice.
At this moment, Anderson turned to face Tang Bufan in the darkness, his silver eyes gleaming coldly.
“Little human…you’ve got some nerve.” Anderson drawled, digging his sharp nails into the bullet hole in his arm and scooping the bullet out of the muscle!
Tang Bufan was startled and aimed the gun at Anderson's head, but then he remembered that Lu Yi had said the other man was his older brother who used to play with him when he was a child. He was torn between shooting and not shooting.
"Teacher! No!" Lu Yi was also afraid that Tang Bufan would shoot, as the orc's head was indeed a weak point in their defenses.
"..." Tang Bufan pursed his lips, and at that moment the RV's engine started again.
"Heh, trying to run away?" Anderson narrowed his silver-gray eyes and charged suddenly at the RV!
His expression was ferocious, and the screen glasses locked onto him with a conspicuous red circle marked on him. Tang Bufan's breath hitched, and the RV suddenly accelerated, its thick tires whistling on the sand as it sped away with Tang Bufan!
Tang Bufan's body swayed to the side due to the enormous inertia. He quickly grabbed the window sill of the RV and looked out the window again, only to be met with Anderson's distorted half-beast face!
Tang Bufan's heart raced. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he immediately raised his gun towards the window, the metal sniper barrel pointing directly at Anderson's forehead!
The RV was moving very fast, with the wind howling, while Anderson maintained a steady pace, staring straight at Tang Bufan through the window with his silvery eyes.
"Get out!" Tang Bufan coldly shouted at him, his black hair blowing across his face in the wind.
The orc suddenly smiled, ignoring Tang Bufan's warning, and even raised his head and opened his mouth, sticking out his tongue from his bloodied lips to lick the muzzle of the sniper rifle!
Tang Bufan was stunned by his provocative behavior. He gripped his sniper rifle and stared wide-eyed. At that moment, a huge figure pounced from behind Anderson, and the two orcs, each nearly 2.7 meters tall, rolled into a ball on the sand!
The two rolled into the RV, and Tang Bufan felt the heavy RV tilt violently, making a turn in the desert. Affected, he fell backward from the window and landed heavily on the iron bunk bed behind him, while the boxes and miscellaneous items stacked behind the kitchen were also thrown everywhere with a crash.
In the empty driver's cab, the steering wheel was turning by itself. Kai quickly steadied the RV, and the interior gradually returned to stability. Tang Bufan groaned in pain, straightened his back, and reached back to touch his back. The impact from the metal bunk bed had hurt quite a bit.
"Little Tang! Are you alright?" Kai asked immediately.
"It's nothing..." Tang Bufan endured the pain, still thinking about Anderson licking the muzzle of his gun. He grimaced in disgust and cursed, "That guy's crazy!"
His gun is not clean.
Kai saw it through the electronic control panel on the right side of the RV, but he had a question.
“He didn’t kill you, Tang,” Kai said in a gentle, electronic male voice. “He had at least three seconds to kill you, but he didn’t.”
Tang Bufan realized this only after hearing this. Just like Lu Yi catching a gerbil, it only took a second from seeing it to reaching out. And Anderson killed him in just one second, a simple pinch.
Yeah... why didn't he kill himself?
Tang Bufan frowned, enduring the back pain, and returned to the window. He leaned out and looked back in the darkness. The wind was howling through his hair, and the figures of the two orcs in the light screen glasses were so small that they were almost invisible.
Lu Yi should have the upper hand, right? After all, he shot Anderson once.
"Xiao Tang, the battery is at 67%, plenty of power. Shall we drive away?" Kai asked Tang Bufan, and told him, "The antidote is in the car, and the food in the refrigerator and freezer is enough to last you three months."
Therefore, Tang Bufan doesn't really need Lu Yi right now.
But Tang Bufan frowned and thought for a while by the window, then said in a deep voice, "No, let's go back."
"You might be in mortal danger," Kai warned Tang Bufan. Although Anderson hadn't killed him earlier, who could accurately assess a mentally ill person?
"I've got nothing to lose, what danger am I afraid of?" Tang Bufan knew he was gambling with his life, but Lu Yi had saved him and was also his student...
He didn't want to lose his students again.
“Go back,” he said again, his voice firm.
Kai was silent for a moment, then the large and heavy steel RV turned around in the darkness.
On the sandy ground, Lu Yi was on top of Anderson, punching him in the face. His heart clenched at the thought of how close Anderson had been to Tang Bufan.
Anderson's snow leopard genes made him fast and agile, but he was no match for Lu Yi, who had Bengal tiger genes. Lu Yi punched him hard in the face twice, and his mouth and nose were covered in blood.
"Hahahahaha!" He was still laughing, laughing maniacally, grabbing Lu Yi's beastly face with his hands, full of disgust: "Look at your face, how much it resembles your wicked father and mother! My lovely little Louis~ How did you grow up to look like those two demons?"
Lu Yi didn't understand why he brought up his father, and only said in a deep voice, "Your admission to the mental hospital is your own fault!"
He stopped beating Anderson. Looking at the orc with a bloodied face, Lu Yi felt a pang of sadness.
“I still remember what you used to look like… Anderson.” Lu Yi grabbed Anderson’s vest, looking at the unfamiliar man with mixed feelings: “Debonair, wearing a crisp military uniform, you were the dream lover of all the sub-beastmen in the Western Federation… Ten years have passed, it’s time for you to move on.”
"The dream lover of all the sub-beastmen in the Western Federation? Isn't that you?" Anderson sneered, unconcerned about the blood flowing from his nose. Looking at Lu Yi with his blond hair and heterochromatic eyes, he couldn't help but think of that demon couple. So he said in a cold and sarcastic tone, "Although Anna is dead, Hans is still alive and well. He loved Anna so much, but he didn't choose to die for her, probably because of you... You're about to turn 18. He's already mentioned the matter of taking over to you, hasn't he?"
Lu Yi's expression changed slightly. Anderson propped himself up on his elbow, curled his lips into a sneer, and said, "It's your responsibility, you can't escape it."
After he finished speaking, he heard the heavy sound of the RV driving. Both beastmen looked up and saw the RV returning.
Lu Yi was surprised, but his eyes lit up slightly. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why did you come back... idiot."
Even though the RV is well-stocked and they could just leave him behind... Lu Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling happy.
Anderson turned around and saw him looking at the RV with gentle, tender eyes.
Anderson narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Looks like our little Louis has reached the age where he wants to... make love."
Lu Yi snapped out of his daze, his lips tightening quickly, disliking Anderson's crude words.
"I told you, I don't plan to get married." Lu Yi had no intention of continuing to fight Anderson. He exited his beast form and got up from the ground.
Anderson also transformed back into human form, but still lay lazily on the sand, propping himself up on his elbows.
“Do you know why I didn’t kill him just now?” Anderson asked him.
Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Because you're not bad to begin with."
He always believed that Anderson would end up like this, but he was just too heartbroken.
"Hahahaha..." Anderson seemed to have heard a very funny joke. He propped himself up on his elbows, tilted his head back, and laughed heartily on the ground.
“No, I’m very bad, little Louis.” Anderson said, then suddenly jumped up from the ground and grabbed Lu Yi’s neck from behind.
Lu frowned, but his strong arm gripped Anderson's hand, showing no sign of panic.
“I’m not killing him because I want you to taste the most vicious thing in the world.” Anderson held Lu Yi’s neck tightly and said coldly in Lu Yi’s ear, “That is… love.”
Suddenly, he sprayed a spray medicine into Lu Yi's face!
By the time Lu Yi realized what was happening, it was too late. He had no idea that Anderson would suddenly have this thing in his hand, and he had already inhaled the spray into his nasal cavity with each breath!
With a swift over-the-shoulder throw, Lu Yi slammed Anderson to the ground. After landing, Anderson laughed loudly, his blood-stained face contorted in a ferocious manner.
"What did you spray on me?" Lu Yi felt his body temperature rising rapidly, and his heart was beating very fast.
"A nice gift from your brother~" Anderson said leisurely, lying on the ground. "Having a heat cycle is probably your only weakness, little Louis~"
"Despicable!" Lu Yi felt his body getting increasingly uncomfortable and hated himself for being soft-hearted earlier.
At this moment, the RV had stopped not far from the two of them, and Tang Bufan cautiously got out of the vehicle, holding a sniper rifle.
"Lu Yi!" He saw Anderson spray something into Lu Yi's face, but didn't know what it was, so he pointed his gun at Anderson on the ground and shouted, "Come here!"
He didn't want the oil anymore; all he wanted now was to leave with Lu Yi.
As the desert evening wind blew by, Lu Yi caught a whiff of a very pleasant scent. The aroma was so strong that it made him feel dizzy and his body moved instinctively.
He suddenly slammed Tang Bufan against the wall of the RV!
The sniper rifle landed, and Tang Bufan, his back pressed against the cold wall of the RV, stared in horror at the tall orc in front of him through his light-screen glasses.
"Lu Yi! You!" Tang Bufan fell silent as Lu Yi brought his lips close to Tang Bufan's face!
But Lu Yi didn't kiss him. Instead, he stopped just centimeters away from Tang Bufan's lips, bending over and pressing down on Tang Bufan's hands, his muscles tense.
"..." Tang Bufan was too frightened to speak, and like Lu Yi, he was breathing rapidly. He felt that Lu Yi's body was very hot, and something big was touching his lower abdomen...
Tang Bufan immediately understood what Anderson had sprayed on Lu Yi.
The two looked at each other in silence. Lu Yi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his body trembled slightly, making Tang Bufan realize that he was trying hard to control himself.
Tang Bufan's face darkened, and he suddenly pulled his right hand out of Lu Yi's hand and slapped him hard on the head!
With a "snap," Lu Yi felt a slight pain in his head, but he was still awake and took two steps back.
"Get out!" Tang Bufan cursed fiercely. Fearing that Lu Yi was not yet sober enough, he strode forward and slapped him hard on the head again.
He jumped up and slammed the ball down like a dunk, making another loud "smack," which stunned Anderson, who was lying on the ground.
"..." Lu Yi took two steps back, touching his head with a wronged expression.
In the darkness, Tang Bufan removed the light-screen glasses from his face, revealing his dark pupils, and stared intently at Lu Yi.
“Lu Yi, I’ll wait for you here. I won’t leave, so…” Tang Bufan pointed in a direction for Lu Yi: “Don’t be afraid. Run boldly forward until you lose your mind.”
Lu Yi fell silent. He met Tang Bufan's gaze, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips. His crimson body instantly swelled and transformed into a beast, and then he turned and strode into the darkness.
