Rise of the Wasteland Chapter 167 - Blasting Charge

Chapter 167        Blasting Charge

Meanwhile, Richard had thought that he could finally relax. His hard work for the past two weeks was all worth it, especially in the final moment when he escaped from Zhou Qingfeng, it became one of the things to brag around others.

“Victor Hugo was crazy. He chased me all the way from midtown Manhattan to Bronx because I was holding the secret of the Armed Nun Society. That guy was indeed terrifying. He was great, but he’s nothing in front of me.”

Richard was in a building that was partially destroyed. There were dozens of trainee soldiers of Skull and Bones staying with him. All of them were sitting together and enjoying the hotpot.

Skull and Bones was formed by the criminals in prison and a lot of them were elite criminals. Ever since Skull and Bones was established, they have been expanding their forces very carefully. The people in Skull and Bones were trained for at least a week or two to ensure good quality.

The soldiers were eating as they listened to Richard boast. Even though all of them knew he was exaggerating, they had fun while listening to him. Nobody cared whether it was true or fake.

The area where the soldiers of Skull and Bones were currently in used to be a self-protected community. The buildings in the community were completely destroyed during the fight that happened all of a sudden. At the same time, a lot of people in the community were either killed or injured. As for the people who survived, it was not the end of the disaster.

In the partially destroyed buildings, there were constant screams of women and the laughter of men coming from the building. Richard finished the can of chicken in his hand, wiped his mouth, and walked towards a room.

A soldier of Skull and Bones came out of the room while wearing his pants. Richard opened the door and saw a naked woman crouched in the corner of the room. The woman was being abused not too long ago. As she saw someone walk in, she quickly shook her head and begged, “Please don’t do this. For God’s sake, I can’t stand it. I really can’t!”

“God? There’s no God anymore!” Richard laughed and dragged the woman out. He forced her legs open and started to pull his pants down, “You should be grateful that you’re still alive.”

Richard grabbed her breasts. His hands were covered with smelly, wet, and slippery fluid. He snapped, “Oh, damn it!”

“Stay there, don’t move. Fulfill my needs. Otherwise, I won’t be kind to you.”

Richard grabbed a bad sheet and tried to clean the woman’s body. All of a sudden, he heard something from around the corner. It sounded like something was digging the wall.

Richard did not bother about it at first because he thought that it was made by somebody in the next room. The moment he started to f*ck the woman, a hole suddenly appeared in the corner of the room. The iron concrete in the wall started to break and fall apart. Following that, a dog’s head got through the hole.

Richard was naked and when he saw the scene, he was frightened and his little sausage became the size of a caterpillar. He had no idea how the wall broke and why there was a dog.

The key thing was the weird dog. Even though it had fur on it, its naked back was covered with pits and shone like the reflection of metal. Its claws were extraordinarily strong and it dug the wall with extreme speed. Even its teeth were so tough and sharp that it seemed like breaking the concrete iron was easier than breaking a bone.

“Hey, guys, there’s a weird dog here!” Richard’s instinct told him to stand and he started to withdraw to the side. At the same time, he called his mates for help.

However, the partially destroyed building was the place of entertainment for Skull and Bones. The soldiers were busy having fun and none of them would bother about a dog. The weird dog did not care about Richard. After it made the hole, it quickly ran out of the room with a small bag dangling from its mouth. It was running and dodging the people in the building.

“What’s going on?” Richard was driven by his curiosity. He quickly lifted his pants and ran after the dog. The moment he came out from the building, he saw that the weird dog had already went across a few destroyed buildings. It was on its way to a tank at lightning speed.

The results of the fight between Skull and Bones and the Brotherhood of Steel was unexpected. Both sides were hurt. Many people from Skull and Bones were killed. Their commander insisted on pushing on as they had the upper hand with better weapons and troops. However, the soldiers refused. They just wanted to have fun before that.

To recover the morale of the soldiers, the commander of Skull and Bones could only guard and watch over the streets, arrange the soldiers to take turns to rob, and fulfill their needs. Meanwhile, the weird dog ran and hid under an M1A3 tank while being watched by the soldiers.

“Watch out, that’s an explosive dog!” Richard remembered the history. It was said that during World War II, dogs were trained to destroy tanks. However, the dog in front of them now was clearly smarter. It put the bag under the tank and unplugged the fuse with its mouth. As soon as smoke came out, it quickly escaped.

The tank was located at the main defense point of Skull and Bones. There were huge amounts of armored vehicles and armed soldiers. Everyone saw the dog and thought it was weird. As they heard Richard shout from afar, all of them took out their weapons and started firing at the dog.

However…., after a while of firing, the soldiers in the front line suddenly realized - No, wait! What did that dog just drop? It’s a bag of blasting charge! Why are we still firing? We should run!!!

A bunch of soldiers started to run away from the tank. Meanwhile, the member in the tank heard the noise from his wireless radio. He opened the hatch cover and saw that all the soldiers were running away.

The tank captain asked, “What are you guys running for?”

“Explosives, explosives…..” The soldiers panicked and could only say that word. However, all of them pointed at the tank with their fingers at the same time.

The fuse of the explosive charge was very long. Once the tank captain heard the soldiers, he even had time to get down from the tank to look around the tank and see what was going on.

Finally, he saw the explosive bag with smoke coming out from it. It looked like it weighed at least five kilograms and would be able to destroy a tank that weighed more than ten tons without any problem.

By right, the tank captain should play the heroic and fearless spirit - save his dearest tank and his mates with him in the tank. He should immediately get under the tank, grab the bag, uninstall the fuse, throw the bag far away from the tank, and win honor and praise.

But….., what if it exploded all of a sudden? Everything’s useless if I’m dead. Thus, the clever captain quickly turned around to run. He could not be bothered about the tank; his life was more important!

Meanwhile, the tank gunner, too, realized that something was wrong. He opened the hatch cover and saw the tank captain running away from the tank, “What’s going on?”

The captain was running with his full strength and shouted at the same time, “Explosives, explosives!”

As the gunner saw everyone run, an inexplicable fear clutched his heart. He gave up asking what was actually going on, quickly jumped out of the tank, and ran.

Unfortunately, the light on the fuse finally arrived its end. The five kilograms explosive bag exploded; a raving wave blew and it sent the tank up to the sky. The buildings around the tank which were partially destroyed started to fall apart.

Massive amounts of soot spread into all directions very quickly. It covered everyone’s vision within a hundred meters. The defense point of Skull and Bones was in chaos.

In the midst of the chaos, a deep, high-powered diesel engine’s roar arose from the soot. Crashing through the broken bricks, a heavy-armored vehicle, ‘Cougar’, dashed through the barricades from the other side and headed towards the defense point.
