Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 100

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was already past midnight.

On the mountain behind the Glory Sand Manor.

The night wind was very cold.

“Wake up, wake up.”

In his daze, Lynch felt someone pushing him.

!!

—No, I still want to sleep for a while. Alice, wake me up later…

He subconsciously waved his hand.

However, in the next moment, the young master of the Goode family woke up.

He realized his current situation.

It was not on the soft bed in the Glory Sand Manor.

Instead, it was a desperate situation.

An unprecedented danger.

He had been captured by that d*mned Cathayan clown…

Lynch’s eyes widened in horror.

“Hi…”

Kang De squatted in front of him and greeted him with a smile.

This smile was like a demon in Lynch’s eyes.

He struggled in fear and wanted to escape and shout, but his hands and feet were tightly tied, and his mouth was firmly tied. He could not make a sound.

“How do you feel? You are in a secret passage with no light at all. Not far away is your family’s treasure room. Your father is roaring inside. As long as he enters the cave and walks a short distance, he will see you, his beloved son. You will be saved and return to the home you’re familiar with and be the young master of the Goode family again. You won’t be here feeling afraid, worried, and helpless.”

He smiled and said, “Do you think it’s very ironic? Do you hate your father?”

Lynch could not speak.

There were tears in his eyes. Those beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak. That pitiful appearance was probably something that people who did not know the truth would immediately pity when they saw these eyes.

“Don’t look like this. If I don’t fall for it, I’ll feel that you’re acting. Look, isn’t it very ironic? You lied to me, so I won’t believe you. This is the story of the wolf coming. It’s enough once. It’s useless no matter how pitiful you are… Ah, right, are you very cold?”

He helped Lynch up and asked kindly.

Lynch shook his head crazily.

It was not cold. It was not cold at all.

He wanted to express this.

He did not think that Kang De was really concerned about him. If he was cold, perhaps in the next moment, this guy who had been smiling would imprint something like a branding iron on him.

But he was wrong.

Kang De actually took out a shirt and draped it over him, carefully surrounding it.

The style of the clothes was very strange, but it was really warm. There were no barbs or poison inside. Lynch even saw red fire runes flowing on it. It was actually an enchanted shirt.

“This is enchanted with fire control and can resist fire damage. After all, I want you to have a complete corpse. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to clean up or identify.”

Lynch’s body froze again.

He could not help but tremble. He wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was sealed and he could not speak.

Kang De pulled him up. “Come, the night wind is strong here. You’re still young. When you’re growing, don’t blow in the wind. Let’s go to the car. It’s very warm there and there’s a heater.”

After being pulled up, Lynch discovered that there was a very huge thing behind him.

Kang De said that this was a car, but he did not see a horse. However, his intuition told him that such a thing could drive on its own, just like the iron horse that had dragged him around during the day.

Occasionally, he turned around and was stunned again.

This was the mountain.

He knew where he was now.

This was because not far from the foot of the mountain was the Glory Sand Manor. Firelight shone there and there were bonfires everywhere.

Excitement flashed through his eyes as he whimpered loudly as if he wanted to attract the attention of the people at the foot of the mountain. However, it was too far, really too far. His voice quickly disappeared in the night wind.

Then, he was carried to the side of the car.

Kang De opened the car door.

The car was very tall. To an adult, they had to step on the pedal to get up. He threw Lynch beside the driver’s seat, then climbed up himself and closed the door.

“This is the driver’s seat. This car is from our side. It can run on its own without a bull pulling it. Isn’t it very magical? Look here, isn’t it very tall? You can still see your home from here, do you know? When I was young, I liked cars very much and liked to sit in front of the driver’s seat. What I liked the most was the large truck because it was tall and big. Sitting on it, it was very tall and could see far.”

He spoke gently as if he was really introducing this magical modern product to the people of the other world.

“There are many types of cars in our place. Some are civilian, and some are military. The civilian ones are large trucks used for transportation. They have very strong transportation ability, and there are also transport vehicles used by civilians. That’s called a private car. There are also many types of private cars. Some are very ordinary. Even civilians like us can afford them, and there are also very expensive ones. Only big shots like you can afford them.”

“As for this…”

Kang De smiled. “This is called a tanker. As the name suggests, it transports gasoline.”

“Gasoline is what the car eats. It can move without sleep and at an extremely fast speed. It consumes this kind of thing. Gasoline is flammable and in some cases can easily explode.”

“You must not have seen the video of the fuel truck exploding. I’ve seen it before. It’s super powerful.”

“I made it even more powerful. I used the magic power on your side and the experience and wisdom summarized by the people on our side.”

“You definitely don’t know how much sugar, detergent, and soap I poured in. There’s a lot. I dare to say that the value of those things might be enough to buy your family’s territory. As for the value contained in this car, it’s something people like you can’t understand in your lives.”

“I even used the technology on your side and our philosophy to perfectly fuse them. I attached a few spells to it. One of them is the fire control enchantment that is attached to the shell. Once it burns inside, the enchantment will compress the flames that are constantly burning and trying to explode.”

“Until the intense impact outside, until this shell can’t take it anymore.”

“It’s super satisfying.”

Kang De touched Lynch’s head and looked at him. He said kindly, “Uncivilized and poor country bumpkin… do you understand?”

Lynch’s face turned pale, and the fear on his face intensified.

He understood half of it, but he already knew what Kang De wanted to do.

Kang De sighed, “Before this, I’m thinking about how to deal with you, little brat. I’ll throw you to the beggars and let them use your butt? I’ll poison you until you’re mute, cut your face, cut off your hand, and make you a beggar for the rest of your life? Or should I grind you into meat paste?”

Lynch’s face was already covered in sweat. It was clearly very cold, but he was sweating a lot.

“I thought about it for a long time and did not think of what to do. However, later on, I thought of something.”

Kang De flicked his head and smiled in embarrassment, “I’m really sorry. I’ve been too busy these past two days. I’ve forgotten what I said yesterday… oh, the night before.”

“I told your sister that I wanted to kill your entire family.”

He said seriously, “My mother taught me that I have to do what I promised others.”

“I’m a good kid. Really. I wasn’t before, but I am now. I’ve listened to her a lot this past year.”

“Therefore, I won’t do those things. Don’t be afraid, I’ll only kill your entire family.”

“I’ve arranged everything for you. A tasteful plan and a way to die that’s worthy of you.”

Kang De stretched, his face gratified.

It was as if the play he had painstakingly woven was finally about to be released.

“I say, Lynch, do you know? I went to your house three times today.”

“I didn’t kill anyone.”

“I didn’t set fire to it.”

“Do you know how hard it was for me to endure? I could have killed everyone and lit up your house, but I didn’t do anything. I ran when I saw people and let them chase me and fight me.”

“Do you know how hard I endured to not turn around and kill them?”

“All of this is to make your father have an illusion. I wreaked havoc everywhere and avoided him to make him feel that I can’t defeat him. As long as they unite, I can’t do anything to them.”

“Now they’re united.”

Kang De smiled and looked down at the Glory Sand Manor.

“This way, I can wipe them out in one go. Otherwise, with so many knights and soldiers scattered throughout the entire town, how can I kill them one by one? Right?”

Lynch continuously twisted his body and cried out. He looked at Kang De with a sad expression, filled with pleading, regret, and fear.

“Shh, don’t speak. Don’t speak. I tied you up so that you won’t speak.”

“Since you’re so good at talking, I’ll make you unable to speak, beg for mercy, or repent. You can only live and die without being able to shout anything before you die.”

Kang De patted his shoulder. “Alright, we’re almost done. Actor Lynch, let me read the script to you. What about your part? The plot is like this.”

“This fuel truck will rush down immediately. At the same time, the combustion mechanism will begin to trigger. This car will carry you all the way to your house, ram, and then, boom…”

He drew a very, very, very large art with both hands.

Then, he said to Lynch, “Right, I forgot to tell you something. Today, I gave your clothes to a little beggar and sent a letter to your father. After he came, I blew up that little beggar in front of him. Therefore, your father thought that you were done for. He’s very sad now that his son is dead.”

“Then, the situation changed. While suffering the pain of losing his son, if he sees his beloved son driving a tanker truck all the way home, he’ll definitely cry tears of joy… Ah, such a scene of father and son reuniting is really, really touching.”

“Yes, I’ve researched and decided that you’ll drive this car.”

Kang De patted the steering wheel. “This is like the rudder of a ship. It’s called the steering wheel. As for you, if you want to see your father, don’t worry about it. However, if you don’t want to see him for the time being, turn the steering wheel. If you turn left, the car will drive left. If you turn right, the car will drive right…”

He smiled and said, “Do you understand? In a while, I’ll let go of your hand.”

“Now, I should start the car.”

“This thing is relatively difficult to drive. Old Wang taught me twice, but I only roughly learned it. Fortunately, I practiced it myself just now and didn’t forget. Ah, so smart.”

“Oh, come, put on your helmet and protect your little head. You have to die in one piece.”

He twisted the key and started it.

With a low rumbling sound, the headlights lit up.

He took off and stepped on the accelerator. The fully loaded beast slowly moved down the relatively flat hill.

Brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate.

When he was fast enough, Kang De flashed to the front passenger seat and untied the rope on Lynch’s arms.

Lynch’s face was pale. Without thinking, he turned the steering wheel hard to the left.

However, the steering wheel did not move.

He used all his strength to move left, then right, and even his entire body.

Nothing moved.

“Go! Go! Go!”

Kang De sat beside him, clapping his hands. His body shook with the bump of the car. He had a childlike smile on his face as he clapped and shook his head from side to side.

“You can’t be anxious when slowing down and turning corners. Don’t be careless when putting your feet on the brakes. There are many people there so don’t force your way in. Don’t be angry or anxious. Be flustered and lose your temper. If anything happens, it’ll be too late…”

Lynch grabbed the steering wheel hard and whimpered. He shook the steering wheel desperately, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at the approaching manor, his eyes becoming more and more desperate and almost crazy.

Kang De slapped him on the head.

“Stupid—idiot—”

He dragged out his voice and laughed, “I’ve long locked the steering wheel!”

Then he opened the passenger door and leaped out. He rolled on the ground and stood up.

Lynch’s desperate cries lingered in his ears.

From the beginning to the end, this eloquent child did not manage to say anything.

Kang De watched as the fuel truck that was vaguely illuminated by flames collided all the way down. It flipped over and collided with the main building of the Glory Sand Manor, causing a violent collision.

He shouted, “S T R I K E!”

Kang De saw two dazzling lights, one was the battle aura, and the other was magic power.

The shell of the tanker that had already reached its limit suddenly exploded.

The world lit up for a moment.

It was as if a sun had risen from the ground.

A huge mushroom cloud rose, and an endless heat wave spread wantonly. The world was illuminated, the houses were razed, and the surrounding forest was blown around. Countless flowing flames flew in all directions and burned fiercely on everything that could stick.

It was as if the sulfur door had opened and hellfire had descended to the mortal world.

The entire Glory Sand Town was trembling.

Everyone looked at the huge flames rising in horror. The roaring shock wave swept through the entire town, sending the roof flying, raising dust, and overturning the people on the road. The terrifying might was endless.

“Oh…” Looking at all of this, Kang De exhaled comfortably, “F*ck…”

Looking at this huge art, he sighed in satisfaction.

“I’m done.”
