Chapter Ten: The Date
Without the pressure, everyone was relaxed. In Li Ang's eyes, even MacKay had become so cute, perhaps because this person had lost all his explosives. As usual, MacKay lived in his own spiritual world, muttering something non-stop.
Even the spacious Hummer couldn't accommodate everyone, and the injured Lock was placed on the machine gun mount on the roof. Even with his strong vitality, he became abnormally weak due to blood loss, and now he could only occasionally let out painful curses as the vehicle bounced around.
"Woohoo……Woohoo!" The mercenaries who had completed their mission were shouting non-stop, the fear and pressure of the killing just now suddenly disappeared, everyone was excited, as if the fatigue of the past two days also disappeared.
"Sakura, how about keeping me company for a night? I'll give you 50 bucks." Toto said with a grin, driving the car.
"Only 50, don't you think someone would be willing to pay more?" Sakura asked with a seductive tone, seemingly not disliking the invitation from others.
"A beauty like Sakura is worth at least a hundred kids, not to mention Shacheng, even in New Luozhou, it's hard to find such a beautiful woman. I'll give you a hundred!" Lando shouted from the back row.
"Ah, you old pervert. What?" Sakura, sitting next to Jin, laughed and struck the cripple's chest armor with her UZI gun, while Jin, who didn't feel anything at all, burst out laughing wildly.
Obviously, Jin is a thorough activist among the crowd, and his salty pig hand just touched Sakura somewhere. And such resistance, in Li Ang's view, was clearly a blatant temptation. Such scenes had been seen countless times in PUBs in their previous world, and although they were pretentious, Li Ang couldn't help but admit that Sakura was attractive to him.
"I'll have 500 sons, and I'll give birth to 500 sons." Li Ang suddenly turned his head and said seriously.
"I knew you were a pervert, but I didn't think it was this bad! I guess the world is in a bad state and we should save more money." Jin said with great admiration, then turned to Sakura and said: "Sakura, what do you think? I think he's okay, this kid is quite fresh." After that, he burst out laughing.
In human relationships, there are always strange things. For example, Li Ang is someone Jin really likes. Even Jin, who is usually stingy, unknowingly doesn't mind losing a little in transactions with Li Ang. If Sakura could be with Li Ang, it seems like it wouldn't be a bad choice either. But probably even if Sakura sold him out, he wouldn't know? Thinking of this, Jin couldn't help but laugh happily, and even though he likes someone, it doesn't stop him from enjoying the pleasure of watching them lose.
Ripe fruit is better than unripe, and women are the same. Mature women not only taste good but also easier to get along with, of course, they are also easier to lose. The only benefit is that they will never ask many stupid questions that even they themselves do not know the answers to.
Sakura is indeed such a woman, with wisdom, independence and beauty. Although Li Ang was well aware that such women only belonged to themselves, men who pursued things beyond their abilities were the source of pain. But if he could get a kiss from her with just a few hundred useless bottle caps, Li Ang thought it was still worth it.
When Li Ang suddenly took out the money to buy three women in New Zealand, everyone started teasing him and asked Sakura to accompany him for a night. Sakura slipped from the back row to the front row into Li Ang's arms like an eel.
"After all, you're the one who saved me, so I'll give you a 20% discount." Sakura said with a smile as she sat on Li Ang's body, blowing air into his ear.
Sakura's bold move was clearly beyond Li Ang's expectations, especially in front of so many people. Even he, who prided himself on having a thick skin, felt somewhat embarrassed, and although he tried to put on a suave air, his movements seemed stiff and awkward. This stiffness only made everyone laugh even harder.
Even Lede, who was carefully organizing his weapons, started to joke: "I think Sakura should be the one paying, Liang is obviously a rookie, and he's been eaten by her like that."
As soon as the words came out, everyone burst into laughter again. Especially Sakura, who deliberately hugged Li Ang tightly and said: "I don't care, anyway I saw it first. You can't rob me." Sakura's words almost made Jin laugh to tears.
"Cherry, don't send this kid too far away when you sell him. At least we'll have a chance to take a look at him." Seeing Li Ang being completely dominated, Jin seemed particularly excited.
"Alright, I'll sell it to you first when the time comes. You promised, don't try to back out later." With her arms still around Li Ang's neck, Sakura gently raised her elegant eyebrows and smiled at Jin behind him.
As the situation had completely spiralled out of control and he couldn't gain an advantage with words, Li Ang could only resort to using his hands. His left hand grasped Sakura's chest like a claw. Probably due to the loss of civilization, Li Ang had never seen anything like bras in this world, and it seemed that Sakura wasn't wearing one either. Even through her combat uniform, Li Ang could feel the fullness and roundness, which was both elastic and substantial, not only high but also unusually firm without any sagging.
Sakura let out a sharp cry of "Ah!" as she was suddenly attacked from behind, and quickly turned her body away from Li Ang's poisonous hands. However, she leaned back in close to Li Ang's ear and whispered softly: "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"
"Alright!" Looking at the cherry blossoms in his arms, full of spring charm and beauty, Li Ang casually replied. Of course, how this casual promise would make him regretful later was not something Xiang Yu could think of now.

The distant horizon can already see the pale light of dawn, while on the other side the moon is still very clear. The desert morning is exceptionally cold, and even in early summer, a thin layer of frost and dew can be seen hanging from the plants by the roadside. A Hummer speeds across the wilderness, occasionally knocking over roadside plants, which scatter into a cluster of water vapor and disperse instantly.
Mist drifted in from the open window, carrying with it the scent of wet grass and gradually dispelling Blank's drowsiness. It had been two days since he'd had a good rest, and looking at the young men dozing off behind him made Blank think back to his own youth. Back then, going three days and nights without sleep was nothing out of the ordinary, but these young men just didn't have enough experience with hardship yet.
At his age, he should have been hiding in a rear base to enjoy his retirement, and compared to most of the elder brothers, Blanke seemed more qualified. Maybe it's time for him to retire from the front line, hide in the back and train some new recruits, which is also a good job. After so many years of missions, Blanke felt a deep sense of fatigue for the first time. What he hoped most now was to soak in a hot bath, stretch his muscles and sleep well.
"A person has been spotted about two kilometers ahead on the road," reported Cassel, who was driving.
As Kassel spoke, Blank's group suddenly came to life. Xiao Mali, in charge of intelligence, climbed up from the back row and took up a shooting position on the Hummer's roof, observing their surroundings.
"Male youth, unmodified human, driving a red American sports car. No weapons found on him. Threat level three," Xiao reported. Then it was his personal opinion. "A flashy guy, driving a '68 red American sports car. It's like he's asking to be robbed, I don't know how he's made it this far."
If it wasn't for his flashy appearance, then he must have some special abilities. Blanka also took notice of the person in front of him. Another Super Mutant, Blanka couldn't help but bitterly smile to himself, thinking that the number of Super Mutants he had encountered recently was more than the total from the past few years. Why didn't he have this kind of luck when he was on a mission to find Super Humans? A Super Mutant without any weapons, and looking at the car he drove, Blanka thought that this guy was definitely very flashy.
Even super mutants can't be invincible, especially when facing heavy weapons. There isn't a single super mutant that will recklessly show off its power, being known for weaknesses often means death. Apart from the obvious physical mutations, most super mutants prefer to hide their abilities. Especially those who need to use what is called "body momentum" to exhibit their powers, they don't want enemies to understand that their abilities aren't sustained performances. Because "momentum" can only be relied on through training at an arithmetic level, while the display of mutant power often increases in geometric multiples, its direct result is that the stronger the ability, the shorter the time it can be used.
After exhausting their powers, super evolvers are not even comparable to ordinary people. These super evolvers who use "momentum" often can't recover their abilities in just one or a few days. If it's not necessary, they will never use their powers and will never exhaust their momentum - this is the iron rule for those who master momentum. Of course, Li Ang, who has no concept of this at all, is an exception.
In the face of a chaotic and unknown world without order, more strongmen choose to rely on those abilities that can be used at any time - such as the weapons in their hands. Blanke once evaluated the mutants who did not like to use weapons: one is ignorant and foolish, two is foolish and ignorant, three is ignorant plus foolish.
In a sense, all variations are the same, they are all manifestations of adapting to the environment; some abilities pursue the strengthening of one ability and give up others, just like Redd is a sensory variation; some pursue the greatest skill, such as neural system variations, reacting faster and strengthening speed; some directly transmit 'momentum' energy to the opponent's nerves or other sensory organs, creating illusions or directly attacking weak nerves, just like brain variations that shine; there are also variations that seem to have become failures in evolution, not being directly eliminated by the environment or becoming a dragon-slaying sword without a dragon. Many variations may not know what is different about themselves for their entire lives, but when the winds and clouds change, they will have the most eye-catching performance.
However, the most powerful variation is often the simplest, and variations at the cellular level of biological individuals are often the most terrifying. This person who can transform himself into a weapon almost instantly becomes an existence without weaknesses like God, with absolute power that makes any technique ineffective. Super mutants seem to be such existences, but almost all super mutants have lost their reproductive ability and have short lifespans. Only a few rare species exhibit full-body enhancement in the form of ordinary humans and can pass on this power to future generations, and the elite squad of the Iron Brotherhood is centered around such people.
"Level 1 combat readiness, super mutant alert, be cautious of hostile intentions. Prepare to engage!" Blanka didn't hesitate to give the order as he faced this unexpected visitor in the wilderness.
The red American leopard 68 single-row sports car was parked on the side of the road, with Mars leaning against the door. This pose was something he had learned from his favorite poster, and judging by his recent practice, it still seemed to have a pretty good effect on picking up chicks. That damned Sakura had finally appeared after being gone for almost a month, and as his deputy, he was happy to have such a leisurely life. Since Sakura's disappearance, he had been wandering around the area, anyway, he was only in charge of receiving, if there were any problems, it would be Sakura's fault.
Just at dawn today, Sakura suddenly sent out a gathering signal, and Mars had no choice but to rush over overnight. This woman never cared about other people's feelings, and Mars cursed the woman who had completely taken control of himself in his heart. What was even more unbearable was that she shouldn't have sent an emergency gathering signal after he had just managed to hook up with a pair of sisters, and now he could only wait here blowing cool air.
As he watched, an armored Hummer came driving over from a distance, but there was no sign of Sakura among the people inside. On the other hand, his mission target was indeed present. Seeing the Steel Iron Brotherhood emblem on the vehicle, Mars couldn't help but let out a sigh. It seemed that it wasn't just about rushing him to come over in the middle of the night, but also to get him involved in some dirty work. At this moment, Mars made a vow to himself that from now on, he would never go on a mission with women again, no matter how beautiful they were.
