Tasopulo could not help but lament over this young man.
In truth, Tasopulo had a good impression of Wei Xiao Bei. Tasopulo was a simple and honest Argentinian farmer. He was very sincere in treating people and even treated Wei Xiao Bei as his savior.
On the contrary, Reannie’s eyes were red. It was hard for her to meet another fellow countryman, and he just died like this. It made her feel an unsupressable grief.
Tasopulo raised his head and became stunned when he did not see Wei Xiao Bei’s corpse. He could only see someone’s figure diving into the English forces and start a carnage.
Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not stand there and let the English forces continue their salvo.
When the bullets flew at him, he quickly moved to the wall of the alley and rushed towards the corner. He dove into the English soldiers like an eagle with only his fists. With a shout, he immediately sent two soldiers that were filling their matchlocks with gunpowder, flying in the air.
Even if he did not use Qi, the power contained in Wei Xiao Bei’s fists were something that normal soldiers could not endure.
The soldiers that were sent flying spat out blood as they died midair.
Wei Xiao Bei’s attack had startled the English soldiers into chaos.
However, these English soldiers could not be compared to the English soldiers that easily surrendered during World War II.
After their panic, an English officer laid down his orders as they once again renewed their formation as they opened fire at Wei Xiao Bei.
In truth, when the English soldiers were about to fire their guns, Wei Xiao Bei had already reached a bronze cannon. He used his palms and struck two of the people that were cleaning the cannon’s body, killing them on the spot. This strike had also hit the other two behind them, killing all the artillery soldiers.
At this time, Tasopulo, who was lying behind the horse’s corpse, saw Wei Xiao Bei. He quickly pulled on Reannie whose tears were about to fall and pointed to the front.
At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei did a shocking action.
He stooped down and lifted up the bronze cannon.
Naturally, this action had exposed his body to the bullets of the soldiers.
In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei had been hit by 7-8 bullets.
It must be known that the bullets of a flintlock or a matchlock gun was not the same as the ones used in the modern era, but they were only lead balls.
In numerous movies about the American War of Independence, one could always see this scene: after a battle ends and soldiers were taking a break, the soldiers would put lead pieces into a ladle and place it above a flame. Afterwards, the ladle would be placed into cold water to cool it, turning into lead balls.
This was the way that soldiers obtained their bullets during this time period.
Although the lead bullets of this time could not deal as much damage as the pointed-tip bullets of the modern era, there was toxicity in lead.
Moreover, the medicinal technology of that era could not cure toxicity from lead. Thus being shot was the same as being declared dead.
However, the damage from these lead bullets was low against Wei Xiao Bei.
When they pierced through his skin, the bullets were immediately blocked by his dense muscle cells. Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei threw the bronze cannon at the place where the English soldiers were most concentrated.
“Oh my god! Could I say that I have seen the mighty god Hercules?”
Seeing this scene, Tasopulo’s mouth was left agape and muttered this after a while.
Even Reannie who had just wiped her tears could not close her mouth as she stared at the scene with complete amazement.
The bronze cannon should be more than 2600 pounds!
On the other hand, 2600 pounds converted was 1179 kilograms or 1.179 tons!
Previously, the soldiers had been tirelessly pushing the cannon, but Wei Xiao Bei was actually able to easily lift it up.
In truth, this action of Wei Xiao Bei’s had heavily damaged the English soldiers’ morale. It was easy to imagine how much damage to the English soldiers was done by this attack.
In the next battle, the officer continued to command the soldiers to fire at Wei Xiao Bei, but their morales had already hit rock bottom. Some soldiers’ guns had even exploded after they had filled the guns with gunpowder and fired.
In the midst of chaos, gunpowder depleted quickly.
Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not give them anymore chances to fire their guns. If he was careless and his eyes were shot, he would have played himself.
With Wei Xiao Bei’s current recovery strength, his eye could heal even if it was injured. However, the speed at which he will recover would be a lot slower than when his limbs recover.
The battle ended when there were more than a hundred corpses and more than ten soldiers escaping to the background.
In this battle, Wei Xiao Bei had obtained a small fortune of 2100 evolution points.
Tasopulo was very excited. He had ignored the blood and corpses on the ground as he picked up the matchlock guns on the ground and placed them behind the horse.
In his eyes, these guns did not look like much, but they were still useful.
Wei Xiao Bei also knew that when these guns were placed in a much more narrow environment and shot at the same time, these guns could annihilate an entire troop. It would allow someone weak like Tasopulo to gain a lot of benefits.
It was clear that they already knew that killing creatures in the Dust World would make them stronger after entering it a few times.
Reannie ran towards Wei Xiao Bei and worriedly looked at his shirt that was riddled with holes from the bullets.
Wei Xiao Bei only smiled and rubbed his chest, causing bullets that were still lodged to his skin to fall to the ground.
For him, these bullets could not leave any toxicity behind as his body’s powerful recovery would also push them out.
“I’m fine, don’t cry anymore. Let’s go find someplace to rest.”
Wei Xiao Bei rubbed Reannie’s head and smiled.
“I’m not crying. I really am not crying.”
Being told this by Wei Xiao Bei made Reannie’s face red as she denied it.
Tasopulo’s plan of bringing all these matchlock guns away had finally stopped.
These matchlock guns were not light. Even if the war horses in the Dust World were twice as strong as the ones in the real world, it was impossible for them to carry more than a hundred matchlock guns.
Naturally, 30 plus guns were still able to make Tasopulo’s wishes partially come true, but looking at the guns that he could not pick up on the ground was still a bit painful.
The three of them had decided to go to a nearby hotel to take a break.
As for the twin brothers, although Reannie and Tasopulo did not curse them to die, they did not want to care about them anymore.
In their eyes, escaping before the battle and leaving their allies were deeds done by human trash.
The hotel was only a 3-star hotel with 12 floors.
In Paris, these kinds of hotel were very unremarkable.
After tying the horse up in the lounge and when they had just began going up, Wei Xiao Bei heard a loud rumble coming from the two others’ stomachs. If Wei Xiao Bei was not mistaken, this sound came from their hungry stomachs.
As a girl, Reannie was embarrassed to have her stomach rumble be heard. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze move towards her, her face became even redder.
Tasopulo suddenly cried out to break Reannie’s embarrassment, “This is bad. The food that we obtained today are in the hands of Albert and Alan!”
Hearing this, Reannie came to her senses.
There was no mistake. The food that they had gathered earlier were divided equally, but Albert had said that they were willing to help Reannie and Tasopulo carry the weight..
Although Tasopulo knew that there were slight problems with the two boys, he had not thought about it enough.
Although this was the Dust World, the feeling of safety with four people was a lot more than when there was only two. He also thought that the two brothers were not shortsighted. Moreover, from the way they tried to woo Reannie, it should be impossible for them to leave her behind. This was why he had allowed them to carry the food to lighten his own burden. Afterall, the two brothers were quite strong.
However, now that he looked at it, the two bastards had actually planned this earlier on. They had planned to leave Reannie and Tasopulo behind once danger came and also bring away the food that they had all found with great difficulty.
Whether it was Tasopulo or Reannie, they had understood how hard it was to find food and water from the two previous times they entered.
Even the food in supermarkets had gone bad and inedible.
“No problem.”
Wei Xiao Bei pulled out two bottles of water from his Small Holding Bag and gave them to Reannie and Tasopulo. Afterwards, he took out barbecued meat.
In regards to water, Wei Xiao Bei did not need it temporarily since he had the special skill [Moisture Absorption] which allowed his body to have adequate water content.
“Wow, brother Wei. You’re so nice.”
Since Reannie had a Chinese father, she had half of the Chinese blood. However, since she had grown up in Paris, she was not as reserved as Chinese girls as she happily hugged Wei Xiao Bei and kissed his cheek.
Tasopulo ignored how intimate Reannie was treating Wei Xiao Bei as he gave him a thumbs up, “Your magic is too amazing. I can’t see through the trick at all.”
Tasopulo had treated how Wei Xiao Bei took out bottles of water from midair as a magic trick.
Tasopulo immediately opened the bottle as he had become thirsty due to previously sweating in nervousness.
“Yea, everybody says I’m nice.”
Wei Xiao Bei calmly smiled as he set Reannie back on the ground.
Wei Xiao Bei believed that he could not be considered as a man of honor as he had seen different kind of films with foreigners, college students, teachers, nurses, etc. (AV)
However, when he truly encountered a real girl hugging him, he still maintained his principles.
Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei knew that Reanie had a good impression of him, but this was not admiration. This was only because he was a reliable existence in this dangerous world. Moreover, Reannie became moved after being saved from this unexpected predicament.
