Chapter 49: The Crisis (Part II)
Luo Songxi and Lindaka walked in the direction of Bob together, their faces a little solemn. Mayor Jean is gone, and Bob and Lindaka are now the only two civil servants in Tarta who can take responsibility.
Vesta who was following Bob was still unaware, waving a document in his hand and shouting at Luo Songxi:
"This is the result of our physical examination of the residents of Tarta and there are no problems among the people who have been examined, and among those who refuse or evade the examination, we have narrowed down the suspicions to five, all of which are written here...... In addition, the disappearance of Inspector Bob Chalao Zweig has also been somewhat rewarding......"
Bob interrupted him with a wave of his hand, put down Anna on his body, and asked Lindaka to help her to sit aside, then frowned and asked Luo Songxi, "How has the situation changed?"
Time was pressing, and Luo Songxi told Bob about the most important thing he had picked in West Star City, and then about the horse bandits he encountered on the way back to Tarta Town.
β...... About five hundred people, half with guns, and the whole team had good military qualities, and it was determined that their goal was to raid the town of Tarta and whether it was related to the blood sacrifice ritual could not be determined......"
Bob patted Luo Songxi's shoulder with his fan-sized palm, "Young man, you have grown and matured a little." Don't panic now. β
"There are currently 6,232 inhabitants in the town of Tarta, but more than 6,000 civilians face more than 500 well-trained horse bandits, like sheep facing wolves. Now with these inhabitants to evacuate, half an hour at most two kilometers of travel, no different from staying in the town and being slaughtered. β
Bob pursed his lips and said with some difficulty, "We only have two plans, one is to tell these townspeople the situation and let them scatter for their lives. The horse bandits had limited manpower and could not round up the townsfolk in all directions, and I estimate that about half of them would make it to escape. β
Luo Songxi lowered his head, only half of them were able to escape, which meant that thousands of civilians would fall into the hands of the horse bandits, and what would happen to them would be unimaginably cruel.
"Another plan is to rely on the town's buildings to hold them down and wait for the rescue of the 16th West Division. But eight o'clock in the evening will definitely not be keep...... Do you know where the 16th West Division is stationed?"
"40 degrees 43 minutes 0 minutes north latitude and 74 degrees 0 minutes west longitude, one hundred and fifty kilometers from the town of Tarta. Ivelan's subordinates reported to her the location of the 16th Division, but fortunately he wrote it down.
"The mission of the 16th Division of the West was quite mysterious, I only knew that they were secretly stationed in Xixingzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so close to Tarta Town......"
"So, I see that the car you drove back is Gintama. I don't know how you managed to make it go fast in the wasteland, but this car is a lifesaver. You drive to the 16th West Division to urgently ask for help, so that they can come over as quickly as possible. Vesta and I are in charge of holding down the bandits here. β
Responsible for dragging the horse bandits, there is only one sentence to say, but everyone knows that this is almost a matter of life and death. Luo Songxi looked at the big fat man in front of him, a little incredulous.
"Don't look at me, it's the job of a sheriff. The federal salary is paid to me, although it is not enough, but I can't leave it to others...... I have only one request, take Anna away when you go to ask for help. β
"I'm not leaving," Luo Songxi stroked his sour nose, "I'll stay and drag the horse bandits together." β
Bob grinned wide, "Go ahead, you've done enough for Tarta Town, from discovering the Blood Sacrifice, to going to West Star City for help, to finding the Favonius Bandits coming back to report the news." β
"We have a federal salary, and we have a duty to defend these civilians for the Federation, but you don't. A good country should protect every civilian, not take risks that should not be borne by him. Go ahead, don't look at me fat, I'm better than you think......"
"By the way, don't tell Anna what's going to happen here on the way, and then talk about it when you get to the barracks, otherwise she won't go. β
Luo Songxi still shook his head, and suddenly he remembered something, and found the laundry aunt from the crowd, "Auntie, come on-"
The laundry aunt was carrying a huge barbecue grill and ran over with a brisk walk, "Xiao Luo, what are you doing?"
Luo Songxi asked Auntie, "Auntie, do you remember that you said that when you were young, you were called the Thirteenth Sister of Xichen Mountain, could it be that you used to drive in Xichen Mountain?"
Aunt said proudly, "Of course, how many young talents back then could only eat ashes behind your aunt's ass, if not...... Forget it, why did Xiao Luo mention this stubble? . β
Luo Songxi quickly told his aunt about the attack of the West Wind bandits, and finally said to him, "Auntie, I have a sports car, you drive to ask for help." β
Auntie's eyes widened, "What? The horse bandits are going to slaughter the town of Tarta? But what kind of car can drive on this mountain road? Unless it's a tank with tracks, it's going to be dark for 150 kilometers, right?"
Luo Songxi picked up his aunt and ran towards his silver soul.
When the aunt saw the modified Rolls Silver Soul, and heard Luo Songxi introduce the modified performance and tire technology, the aunt was suddenly excited.
"Xiao Luo, you really found the right person, the West Sixteenth Division is mysterious in the eyes of others, but it is as familiar as your own home in Auntie's place. If this car is really so energetic, even if the aunt fights this fat, she will definitely move in reinforcements within two hours, no, an hour and a half. β
The aunt threw down the barbecue grill, jumped on the Gintama, skillfully fastened her seat belt, and activated the activation circle.
Bob and Lindaka helped Anna into the car and sat down, the big man stroked the little woman's tail hair, and whispered, "It's too long, you go in the car first, I'll come back later, and roast wild boar for you to eat." β
A faint smile appeared on Anna's weak face, "Do you think I'm heavy and refuse to carry me?"
Bob laughed stupidly, his jaws trembling gently, "Good, how can I go to hunt wild boars behind your back." β
With a piercing sound, the silver soul was gone.
Bob wiped a handful of ash from his face, and his face began to heal. "If you have to stay, stay, just wait until you do your best, don't force it. β
He said to Luo Songxi, "You go to the top of the fort first and see if that thing can be repaired." β
He also said to Lindaka, "You go to the radio station and broadcast the news about the attack of the Zephyr bandits, and the residents have the right to know." You let them choose for themselves, trust us, let them go back indoors and close the doors and windows, and if they don't believe us, run away. β
Lindaka nodded, put her hands gently on Luo Songxi's shoulders, and comforted him, "Listen to Bob, don't panic." Then he walked in the direction of the radio station.
"Carlβ" Bob shouted again.
A young man with a pimple-covered face ran over.
Carl is another sheriff in the Sheriff's Office, and secretly, he is Bob's assistant when he takes on private jobs.
"Prepare your guns. Bob commanded.
Carl pushes over a barbecue, which Bob was supposed to take to the New Year's Eve party.
He crouched down, lifted the top of the barbecue, fumbled in twice, pressed a button, and three drawers popped open under the barbecue.
Carl picked up the parts from the first drawer, flipped his fingers, and in a minute or two, he assembled a large gun.
This is not an ordinary elemental pistol, but a standard rifle in the army, which is a meter long and has three barrels arranged in a zigzag pattern.
As we all know, the number of fireballs fired by the elemental musket at one time is limited by the material of the barrel, and more than three shots in a row will cause the barrel to overheat and deform. And the three barrels are fired in turn, which can guarantee at least nine fireballs in a short time.
Carl handed the gun to Bob, then closed the first drawer, picked up the same parts from the second drawer, and assembled a second of the same gun.
Three drawers, three big guns.
Bob carried three large guns on his back together, and only his size, carrying three guns the size of him at the same time, did not seem inconsistent.
In the midday sun, his figure with a gun on his back was as heavy as a mountain.
"Vestaβ" he shouted again.
Vesta leaned in, his face a little nervous.
"Do you remember where I put money in my house, and where I put Anna's medicine?"
"To remember is to remember...... But boss, do you need to spell it?"
"What do you want me to do? I don't want to happen to this kind of thing, it's really unlucky...... Okay, don't be verbose, Carl, how much ice is left?"
"Lots of stock, chief. β
"Okay, go to the cellar. β
Two slender figures, followed by a figure wider than them combined, walked unhurriedly towards the town.
Luo Songxi suddenly remembered something. He took out a crystal clear fruit from the space box, gently crushed it, and buried it in the soil.
This was the mimic elemental fruit given to him by the kobold elder at that time, and the kobold promised that if he needed help, the kobold would come to his aid.
Although he didn't know how long it would take for the kobold to smell this smell and come to help, or how effective the kobold was, he could at least have a thought.
After burying the fruit, he turned and ran towards the fort north of the town.
Come, come, he thought silently.
