World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

"Brother Hu, I was wrong. Please don't take away my abilities. I am willing to serve you and together we can drive out the Heavenly Demons. Our interests are aligned," Yao Tong quickly declared.

"You know that I am acting, and I know that you know that I am acting. But for the sake of our interests, you are still willing to cooperate with me in this act. That's maturity!" Du Ge smiled and glanced at Yao Tong.

"Is that right?" Du Ge continued. "I will not mistreat anyone who is loyal to me. If we unite as brothers and work together, our benefits will be immeasurable. Let's expand our company and eventually drive out the Heavenly Demons, dominating the world."

"Yes, Brother Hu," the underlings echoed in unison.

...

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

Du Ge instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a bullet grazing his ear, which startled him.

Then, bang! Bang!

Du Ge dodged again.

But the bullets were too fast, and he only managed to dodge one. The second bullet pierced through his shoulder, causing a sharp, agonizing pain. His machete fell to the ground with a clang.

Damn it! My attributes are too low. I didn't even notice the enemy approaching, Du Ge cursed inwardly. He quickly changed his route and walked among a group of mutated cats and dogs, taking small steps.

However, the mutated cats and dogs did not walk in small steps. They took the opportunity to pounce on him.

Without his machete, Du Ge had no choice but to use his fists to fight them off one by one.

...

"Wow, I'm really touched. I never thought there were such innocent people in the world."

"Is that it? Is that it? You still want to dominate the world? Don't be so arrogant. If I were you, I would go back and hide for three years. Maybe then you can save your own life."

"You guys are a bunch of idiots. Why do you believe everything he says? People are selfish. Even if you use your ass to think, you would know that he can't genuinely help you. You guys are just his scapegoats!"

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing. I shouldn't have compared you guys to pigs. That's an insult to pigs."

...

Amidst the sound of gunshots, an old man in a jacket emerged from behind an overturned car.

He held a handgun in one hand and leisurely shot at Du Ge and Yao Tong, all the while spewing various insults.

The insults annoyed Du Ge, causing him to hesitate, and he was shot in the arm again.

As his machete fell, Du Ge found himself engaged in a fierce battle with the mutated cats and dogs. The fight had devolved into a brawl, with no regard for sparing lives. The wound on his arm refused to heal, hindering his movements. He even received a few scratches from a British Shorthair on his arm.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dangerous, Du Ge suppressed his annoyance and tried to think of another solution. "Yao Tong, Gou Kun, shout 'Brother Hu is a great person.' You can have all the dead cats and dogs on the ground."

Yao Tong, also disturbed by the insults, began making frequent mistakes in his actions.

And.

He had to save Du Ge, but he couldn't dodge the bullets at all. In just a moment, he had already been shot twice.

If it weren't for Du Ge attracting the mutated cats and dogs, and if his movements weren't fast enough, the bullets might have hit vital spots, and he might have been eliminated.

The opponent clearly had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

At this moment, cooperating with Du Ge to survive was the most correct choice.

Enduring the piercing pain from the bullet wounds, Yao Tong shouted, "Brother Hu is a great person."

"Brother Hu is a great person."

"Brother Hu is a great person."

...

With each shout of "Brother Hu is a great person," deals were quickly made.

Du Ge's injuries rapidly healed.

But now, he was helpless against the opponent. His attributes were too low, and there was a distance of more than forty meters between them. Moreover, a group of cats and dogs blocked his way, making it impossible for him to break through.

Not to mention, the insults from the opponent made it impossible for him to concentrate.

Since entering the simulation field, Du Ge had finally encountered the most critical moment in his life, completely suppressed by the opponent.

In the time it took to exchange a few words, he was shot in the arm again.

...

"Oh, selling things to your own people. You really are a great person, huh?"

"Shady businessman, shady businessman. No business without being shady. To achieve what you have in business, you must be as rare as a scorpion's shit!"

...

Only skills can counter skills.

Enduring his frustration, Du Ge shouted at the old man, "Old man, kill me and let Yao Tong go. Spare them."

Yes, he planned to sacrifice himself, using the saying "goodness is always taken advantage of" to divert all the old man's firepower onto himself.

Only then would they have a chance to counterattack.

"You call yourself a great person just because I called you that a few times? I won't fulfill your wish. If I don't have enough fun, how can I bear to kill you? I'll start by killing that idiot..." The old man smirked and aimed both guns at Yao Tong. But when he pulled the trigger, his arm subconsciously turned, and he aimed at Du Ge instead.

He couldn't help but pause.

At this moment.

The old man stepped into the area where Gou Kun and the others were regrouping.

Because of the delay, he stopped spewing insults. Du Ge regained his clarity and urgently shouted, "Gou Kun, kill him with your men."Gou Kun and the others were also distracted by the trash talk. When the old man passed by them, they didn't react in time.

However, under their loyalty, Du Ge's command was paramount. Moreover, at that time, the trash talk had stopped, and they suddenly came to their senses, raising their weapons and slashing at the gun-wielding old man.

"Brother Hu, have you lost your mind? You think these pieces of trash can kill me?" The old man sneered disdainfully, resumed his trash talk, and simultaneously turned his gun towards the blond-haired man at the front, pulling the trigger.

In the blond-haired man's horrified gaze, the old man's arm suddenly swiveled and fired at Du Ge.

"What's going on?" The trash talk abruptly stopped, and the old man exclaimed in surprise.

In that split second, the blond-haired man's knife had already struck his arm. With a cry of pain, his arm was slashed open, and the gun fell to the ground.

He tried to kick the blond-haired man away, but stumbled and involuntarily rushed towards Du Ge, his face filled with horror. "What the hell is your ability?"

"I traded their loyalty with my own life. Is there a problem?" In his panic, the old man forgot to trash talk, and Du Ge regained his composure. He looked at the old man rushing towards him and sneered mockingly.

"Your keyword is 'exchange', not 'trade'." The old man roared in frustration.

Yao Tong was stunned, then overjoyed.

So that's it?

How could there be such an outrageous ability, to exchange his loyalty for a meal? It turns out it was his own safety. No wonder all the mutant cats and dogs were attacking Qi Feihu. The reason was here!

Brother Hu, Brother Hu!

You disguised the keyword too well, deceiving me so bitterly!

You attract the firepower for me, I guard your safety, and work for you. This is a win-win situation!

It's so good to make it clear, we are the most solid partnership!

It's not a trade, it's not a trade.

At this moment, Yao Tong was overjoyed, his heart burden completely lifted.

Gou Kun and the others also heard Du Ge's words, and they were all deeply moved. No wonder Brother Hu could lead away all the cats and dogs. It turned out that he had exchanged their loyalty with his own safety. Brother Hu was so righteous.

……

"I thought you were stupid enough, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to exchange your safety for the loyalty of a bunch of natives. It's hilarious. You keep saying you're a good person, you wouldn't have exchanged something else with killing, would you?" The trash talk resumed, and the old man's arm injury was healing rapidly. He looked at Du Ge as if he was looking at an idiot. "I'll kill you first, it's the same. At such a close distance, I want to see how these loyal people protect you."

With that, he raised his gun and aimed at Du Ge, pulling the trigger and firing three shots with a ferocious smile.

He emptied the bullets in the gun.

He thought Du Ge was definitely dead, but his smile quickly froze on his face, because the moment he fired, Yao Tong, who had been killing the mutant cats and dogs, suddenly stood between him and Du Ge.

Three bullets hit Yao Tong squarely in the chest.

Yao Tong fell backward, then, with difficulty, raised his two legs and began to make the motion of swimming breaststroke.

And Du Ge was unharmed.

The old man was dumbfounded: "Damn!"

"Was it worth it?" A cold smile crossed Du Ge's mouth. He suddenly drew the pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the old man's legs.

The old man didn't expect Du Ge to have a gun and was completely unprepared.

His legs hurt.

With a thud.

He fell to the ground in a perfect face-plant.

Du Ge kicked away the cats and dogs biting at his side, bent down to pick up the fallen machete, and boldly activated "Honest Man's Wrath", swinging the machete like a whirlwind.

In an instant, he tore all the cats and dogs attacking him to shreds.

Carving out a bloody path, Du Ge went straight to the old man, stabbed several large holes in his arms and legs with a few strokes, then grabbed his hair, lifted him up, and punched him in the cheek, dislocating his jaw.

"Let you talk trash, let you torture me, do you really think honest people are easy to bully?" Du Ge threw him harshly to the ground, spat, and turned back, dealing with the remaining mutant cats and dogs at lightning speed.
