Chapter 31 The boy named Su Yubai
They acted immediately. They returned to the bushes at the fork in the road, woke up the fat trio who were dozing off in the bushes, and then they all sneaked into the parking lot where many large trucks were parked in the dark.
Mu Jin and the obese trio were responsible for sucking out the gasoline from the truck's fuel tank and then putting it into several iron barrels they had found; Xie Liang and the others were responsible for carrying the gasoline in the iron barrels to the underground control room, and Xie Liang started pouring the gasoline from the innermost stone chamber.
After the stone chamber and corridors were filled with gasoline, the two cylindrical control consoles in the control room and the densely packed gears and chains on the walls were next.
They removed two sturdy columns from the corridor and used them to prop up the two white doors in the middle, preventing them from closing smoothly.
By the time they finished all this, the gasoline on the ground had spread to the elevator entrance leading to the outside.
Then, they used the same method to block the elevator leading to the outside, keeping it in a half-up, half-down position, so that oxygen could flow unimpeded from the outside to the control room, so that a devastating explosion would occur when ignited.
The fat trio had drained the fuel tanks of all the trucks in the parking lot. After pouring the last three barrels of gasoline into the bungalow, they began to discuss who would start the fire.
In the end, Lu Bubu felt that he could run faster than them all, so he took on the task of lighting the fire.
Lu Bubu held up a lighter and said seriously, "We have to go light the fire. You guys quickly retreat to the fork in the road outside."
The sky was already glowing white. If we delayed any further, those pig monsters and white tigers would soon come to the slaughterhouse to work.
Xie Liang looked at the time. It was already six in the morning. He hurriedly led everyone back to the fork in the road they came from.
Lu Bubu stood outside the bungalow, looked up at the light blue sky, then lowered his head to light the lighter in his hand.
He then threw the lit lighter onto the fire fuse they had prepared. When the flame hit the gasoline on the fuse, it instantly turned into a winding fire snake that could swallow the world and quickly leaped towards the underground control room.
Lu Bubu quickly turned around and ran out, rushing all the way to the fork in the road where Xie Liang and the others were.
After a while, a series of explosions resounded through the sky.
The walls of the bungalow were blown to pieces, and the broken eaves and walls were scattered everywhere. As the sound of the explosion gradually weakened, the ground at the center of the explosion began to collapse.
Soon, the two buildings - the meat processing plant and the "Two-legged Insect" slaughterhouse were also affected and caught fire. The fire intensified, like fire dragons rising into the sky.
Lu Bubu cried anxiously, "There's no bell! What's going on? Are we mistaken?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Ze muttered to himself: "It's over, I'm really going to die here this time..."
Wen Meng suddenly pointed to the road and said, trembling, "Oh my god! This is going to end, even if we don't want it to! Look!"
On the road in the distance, they saw a group of white tigers followed by a group of pig monsters, running towards them in a mighty manner.
From a distance, they all looked angry, as if they wanted to tear them into pieces.
Xie Liang looked at the white tiger and pig monster approaching them in front, and then looked at the burning building behind. He was helpless for a moment and didn't even know which way they should escape.
The group of white tigers and the group of pig monsters were approaching them. After seeing the situation clearly, they pounced on them angrily.
Hibiscus and the fat trio were soon scratched by the pig monsters that pounced on them. They huddled together, each covering their bleeding parts.
The pig monsters surrounded them and found ropes to tie the four of them together back to back.
They all had their eyes wide open, but they were not in a hurry to kill the four people who were tied up. They probably wanted to catch them all first and then settle the score later.
Fortunately, although these pig monsters are strong, their reactions are relatively slow.
Xu He held a sword and stood in front of Xie Liang, like a god of death. He had already taken care of several pig monsters that had attacked him, but he also suffered injuries of varying degrees.
When several white tigers saw the killed pig monster on the ground, their eyes turned red. They pushed the pig monster next to them away angrily, picked up a huge rock on the ground and jumped towards Xu He.
These white tigers are different from the pig monsters. They are not as tall as the pig monsters, but they are agile.
Four white tigers surrounded Xu He. They picked up big rocks on the ground and threw them at Xu He. Xu He rolled backwards and barely avoided them.
Baihu then raised the big rock and aimed it at Xie Liang. Seeing that Xie Liang was about to be hit by the rock, Xu He instantly jumped up from the ground, leaped over, hugged Xie Liang's waist, and fell to the side.
Just as they fell to the ground, the burning building exploded again. The sound was deafening, and countless pieces of rubble splashed out. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion swept towards everything around.
Xu He fell to the ground holding Xie Liang, and was blown several meters away by the airflow. The standing white tigers and pig monsters were blown away by the powerful airflow.
At this moment, a deep and distant bell sounded!
All the descenders who were blown away by the air wave and fell to the ground dying heard the bell of returning home.
Lu Bubu didn't care about the pain in his body and the high temperature around him, and climbed up tremblingly. He looked around eagerly, looking for the location of the vortex gate.
The surroundings had become a ruin, and the fire was burning fiercely. He saw the blue vortex gate hidden in the billowing black smoke of the ruins.
"There! Come on, Brother He! Get up! The door is there!" Lu Bubu shouted at Xu He who was lying on the ground.
"Hurry up! We can go home now!" Lu Bubu squatted in front of Xu He and Xie Liang, pushing them, "Hey! Hurry up and get up!"
After hearing his voice, Xu He, who was lying on the ground, straightened his upper body with difficulty.
Xu He took out Xie Liang's long gown and put it on Xie Liang, then helped Xie Liang limp towards the vortex gate.
After seeing that Xu He was fine, Lu Bubu quickly carried the nearest Mu Jin onto his shoulders and ran towards the vortex gate in the ruins.
At this time, Mu Jin was unconscious. She must have hit a rock nearby during the explosion. Blood was dripping down her forehead.
Lu Bubu passed through the sea of fire, threw Hibiscus into the vortex gate, and quickly ran towards the fat trio.
"Cousin, listen to me... I don't want to die this way..." said his cousin Li Ruohan, who was carried on his shoulders, dying.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You must have been blown silly. I'm taking you home. Look carefully, the door is over there." Lu Bubu had just finished speaking when he found that his cousin had fainted again.
Just as he was carrying the only remaining Fan Ze towards the vortex gate, the white tigers and pig monsters that had fallen to the ground began to crawl up one after another. Lu Bubu quickly quickened his pace and jumped into the vortex gate carrying Fan Ze.
Xie Liang felt like he was floating up and down, as if he was swimming. He seemed to see his childhood self.
Little Xie Liang was plump and fair. He was carrying a box of cream cake and walking happily towards the door of the welfare home.
It turns out I was dreaming, Xie Liang thought, and he followed little Xie Liang.
There is a tall ginkgo tree in the yard of the welfare home. It is autumn now, and the golden leaves are like flying golden butterflies, dancing in the air with the wind.
In the yard, he saw Xiao Xie Liang sitting on a bench under a ginkgo tree with a boy.
Little Xie Liang was concentrating on eating a pink strawberry cake. After swallowing a mouthful, he looked up and said excitedly, "Brother Yubai! Mom and Dad said that you can come to my house and be my brother in a while!"
Yubai? Xie Liang remembered that the boy was his best playmate in childhood, Su Yubai.
"I don't want to be your brother, I want to be the one who protects you." Su Yubai took out a handkerchief that was washed white and wiped the cream off the tip of Xiao Xieliang's nose.
"But being my brother can also protect me, and I'm very powerful, so I can protect my brother too."
Su Yubai smiled at Xiao Xieliang and reached out to touch the hair on top of his head: "Then I'll wait for you. When you grow up, remember to protect me."
Little Xie Liang pouted and said, "Of course I must! I want to grow up quickly! I want to protect Brother Yu Bai, and I want to be with Brother Yu Bai forever!"
Su Yubai raised the corner of his mouth and put his arm around Xiao Xieliang's shoulders: "It's a deal, you have to stay with Brother Yubai forever."
Xie Liang saw his childhood self holding the small cake in his hands and nodded heavily to Su Yubai: "Yeah!"
An autumn breeze blew, and the golden leaves on the ginkgo trees fell one after another, as if golden rain was falling.
Ginkgo leaves gently fell on their hair, shoulders, and the red bricks on the ground, dyeing the memories golden.
Xie Liang remembered that he had played with this boy named Su Yubai for many days and nights.
They would run in the fields, play in the streets, or talk to each other about their fantasies of the future.
