Chapter 3328: Calling for Cannon Fodder (Revised)

Inside the main trunk of the underground mine, it is not only stuffy but also smells of underground rot. Many Pig-headed Men are watching from the sidelines. Although doing so is highly likely to result in being whipped, they have never seen a dead foreman or guard, so they are all stopping to watch.

The Pig-headed Man whose undershirt is stained red with blood stands there, blood dripping down his iron baton. He is panting, not because of fatigue, but more from tension.

The Pig-headed Men watching from ten meters away are just looking. Of the two guards still alive, one is pinned to the rock wall by a blood spear, and the other has been electrocuted into unconsciousness, occasionally twitching his body, which indicates he is still alive.

Su Xiao examines the Pig-headed Man with the blood-stained undershirt. The appearance of this Pig-headed Man represents one thing: some Pig-headed Men have not yet been tamed. They cannot rise up in rebellion, but they can adapt to the situation and stand up to resist.

"Well done."

Su Xiao takes an apple from his storage space and tosses it to the Pig-headed Man in the undershirt.

"This is, what."

The Pig-headed Man in the undershirt speaks with a stutter. He can speak because he often heard the Demi-human foremen talking. Having been mining for over a decade, he naturally learned it. He stutters when speaking because he only dared to mutter it secretly while mining.

"Eat."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Pig-headed Man in the undershirt holds the apple to his mouth and takes a large bite, snapping off more than half. After chewing twice, his chewing motion comes to an abrupt halt.

Having always eaten "pig feed," he has never eaten anything with such rich flavor. The combination of sour and sweet, mixed with the crisp and tender fruit flesh, is so delicious that it shocks him. That's right, it is shock; he cannot understand why such a thing would exist in this world.

After the shock, the Pig-headed Man in the undershirt speeds up his chewing. In two bites, he finishes the apple in his mouth. Because he eats too fast, he even bites his own thumb.

"How is the taste?"

Su Xiao sits on the foreman's chair and lights a cigarette.

"Good, eat."

The gaze of the Pig-headed Man in the undershirt drifts from time to time toward the guard pinned to the rock wall by the blood spear. Just now, beating the other guard to death allowed his beastliness to gradually awaken. That feeling of revenge and violence for violence, just once, made him addicted to it.

"State your name, or you can think of one yourself."

"Haus... man."

The Pig-headed Man in the undershirt speaks without hesitation, which surprises Su Xiao slightly. Pig-headed Men don't have names; logically, it should be impossible to think of a name in such a short time.

"I killed... him, his... name, belongs to me."

The Pig-headed Man in the undershirt points to the corpse on the ground, meaning that although he has no name, this Demi-human guard did. This guard was originally called Hausman, and now, this name has changed hands.

This Pig-headed Man in the undershirt is a ruthless type; he snatches whatever he lacks, even names.

"Hausman, how many Pig-headed Men like you dare to pick up weapons?"

"Don't, know."

The tone of the Pig-headed Man Hausman is smoother. It won't be long before he should be able to speak normally.

This is a very honest answer. Su Xiao has a general understanding of this Pig-headed Man: fierce, courageous, knows how to judge the situation, and doesn't lie easily. Pig-headed Men talking to each other would be punished by having their tongues cut out, so Hausman naturally couldn't know whether other Pig-headed Men had the courage to pick up weapons.

A spatial ripple appears, and Baja flies out from the different dimension, landing on Su Xiao's shoulder.

"Boss, I'm late. I didn't miss anything, did I?"

Baja shakes its feathers. It came on a long journey but didn't keep Su Xiao waiting long.

Several half-meter-long blood spears are constructed and pierce into the body of the guard pinned to the rock wall. He trembles all over from the pain, emitting muffled groans from his mouth, but he endures it tightly without screaming, his survival instinct very strong.

The Pig-headed Man Hausman steps forward and tears off the high-tech helmet of this guard, revealing a face covered in a large beard.

The bearded guard keeps shaking his head, which makes Su Xiao look sideways. With such a strong survival instinct, he must not be killed at this stage; this person has great use.

There are 6 short blood spears piercing the bearded guard's body. Knowing that blood spears can explode, he naturally thinks of this as a dead end. In such a situation, the bearded guard not only doesn't despair or fight to the death, but instead shows a wise and tenacious survival instinct.

There is only one possibility for this: he is not seeking survival for himself, but because there is someone very important to him inside this mobile fortress.

Compared to living in a "Fortress City," the quality of life in a mobile fortress is much worse, and there are no schools or the like here. Only "Fortress Cities" have schools of various sizes. With the salary of a Pig-headed Man guard, sending children to a school in a Fortress City is definitely not a problem. Excluding this, it is basically that the bearded man's wife or parents are in this mobile fortress, with the wife's proportion being higher.

"Baja, go find his wife."

"Alright."

"Don't, don't do that."

The bearded guard finally can't hold back and speaks in a terrified tone. He finds it hard to understand why Su Xiao knows his wife is also in the Doomsday Fortress, and more specifically, he has no time to think about it.

This is the pressure Su Xiao deliberately gives. Sometimes, some things don't need to be prepared too comprehensively. Giving pressure to the negotiator can also allow the other party to brainstorm comprehensively on their own.

Negative emotions like fear and worry are the best ingredients for brainstorming. People will let their imaginations run wild when they are afraid.

"What good will it do me to spare you and your wife?"

"There is, there is."

The bearded guard agrees repeatedly. Why is he like this? This is the negotiation effect of -10 Charisma. Because of Su Xiao's -10 Charisma, after entering this world, he replaced and took over a notorious identity. Even if Su Xiao was bound by shackles, the bearded guard was always on guard, let alone now that Su Xiao has escaped.

"Are you willing to work for me?"

Su Xiao extinguishes the cigarette butt in his hand. Hearing him say this, the bearded guard nods repeatedly.

"Hmm, I believe you."

Su Xiao's words make the bearded guard feel bewildered. Even if it's just verbal, saying he believes him is too sudden.

But soon, the bearded guard knows that Su Xiao truly believes him, or rather, believes that he will definitely be able to do what follows.

This matter is completed by the Pig-headed Man Hausman and the bearded guard working together. Hausman carries an iron baton in one hand and drags the bearded guard with the other, going to find other Pig-headed Men. First, he throws the iron baton to the other party, then points to the bearded guard and says: "Beat him to death."

If the Pig-headed Man dares, he joins Hausman's squad; if he doesn't dare, he is directly eliminated. On this matter, Su Xiao naturally believes the bearded guard; after all, the other party is jumping back and forth between life and death.

Baja is also responsible for this matter. When encountering other foremen or patrolling guards, Baja takes action to resolve them.

Before Baja, the Pig-headed Man Hausman, and the bearded foreman leave, Su Xiao has Baja and Hausman disperse the Pig-headed Men watching nearby.

Su Xiao has another thing to do. He urgently needs manpower now. Of course, it is to get the leader of the Tianba, Lie Chao, out. This is a top-tier combat force.

But then again, previously on Alliance Star, Lie Chao hoped to obtain the 【Source】 Stone. As a person who keeps his promises, Su Xiao naturally fulfilled his promise and gave the 【Source】 Stone to Lie Chao.

An "accident" happened. When summoning Lie Chao through a prop at that time, it was precisely because the 【Source】 Stone was allowed to be hosted in her heart that she appeared with strength exceeding her own peak and constructed a perfect physical body.

The problem also lies here. When Lie Chao took over the 【Source】, a "mutation" occurred. Under the action of the contract, the power of the source, and the summoned unit, Lie Chao was sucked into the 【Source】 Stone, which made Su Xiao very "surprised."

At that time, before Lie Chao was sucked into the 【Source】 Stone, her IQ suddenly skyrocketed for a short while, thinking that this might be a trap laid long ago, so she shouted at Su Xiao: "Next time, even if I die, I will never fight for you again."

Su Xiao takes out the deep blue 【Source】 from his storage space and attempts to summon the host inside, but in the next second, a strong sense of struggle comes, and the host inside is resisting to the maximum extent.

"Since you don't want to return to the God's Township, then forget it."

Su Xiao speaks. Source: God's Township is Lie Chao's hometown. As if hearing this sentence, the resistance force within the 【Source】 Stone weakens for a moment.

"Most of the time, I keep my promises. I will take the Source Stone and go to the God's Township again."

Just as Su Xiao's voice falls, a stream of azure water liquid gushes out from the 【Source】. Has Lie Chao surrendered? Not really, but upon hearing that Su Xiao is going to Source: God's Township, she is not lightly shocked.

In Su Xiao's words, there is not the slightest hint of threat, but to Lie Chao's ears, it has another meaning. She once witnessed Su Xiao commanding the Allied Forces on Alliance Star to blow up the Western Continent.

Since then, Lie Chao's cognition has included that there is nothing Su Xiao dares not do or will not do, including razing the God's Township to the ground. ===== CHAPTER 3329 =====
