Chapter 20: Variation
"It's coming!"
The slave hunters were at least two hundred meters away from Boone's house, and Leo, who was standing guard by the window, had already spotted them in advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the easiest way is to open your throat and shout, directly recruit all the militia patrolling nearby, and beat these slave traders to death.
But the question is, did the patrolmen who could only fight small monsters like mutant lizards really do slave traders?
Novak is only two or three hundred people at full strength, and there are no more than 30 people who really have combat effectiveness, and the others can only be used to make up the numbers. How many of these thirty people will stand firmly on their side? how many will choose to stand by, and how many have been bought by Jenny in advance!
No one can say these things for sure, including Kara, who was trembling and frightened by Tang Xiao's flickering.
She and Boone had moved in a year earlier, and weren't among Novak's earliest residents.
In addition, she has always had a bad relationship with the locals, and she has long been prejudiced against this place. So when Don Xiaoyi said that it was Jenny's old woman's vicious plan to lure Boone away, in order to capture her alive and sell her to slave traders. Kara barely thought much about it, and just chose to believe!
If Boone were changed, he would definitely doubt how Tang Xiao knew this, this kind of "analytical reasoning" is too nonsense and too certain.
But Carla is different, she has a crazy narcissism about her appearance, and she also believes that Jenny will definitely do such a thing, and she even suspects that even if the other townsfolk found out, they probably wouldn't stop it, but would applaud it.
The only person she could trust now was Boone, and perhaps some of Boone's former colleagues, who were unfortunately lame and didn't usually have much to do with.
In addition, her confidence in Ling Qi and his party was far greater than that of any other townspeople.
On one side is the big man who is going to the casino, the wasteland hero Deathclaw Knight. On the other side is a bunch of hillbillies who hate her and are hated by her. In Kara's worldview, there is no need to think much about which is better or worse.
"Brother Leo, how many can you deal with?"
Bluffing Kara, Tang Xiao came to Leo's side with some concern. At this time, he also saw the figures of those people under the street lamp, although they were a little blurry, but they all seemed to be quite powerful.
"Two or three... No problem!"
Leo, who was still a little hesitant, immediately changed his tune after seeing the mysterious figure of another person following those people. A relieved smile appeared on his face at the same time!
"Bang!"
The gunshots rang out in the wasteland, and the dwarf looked in horror at another accomplice with a flowering head beside him, and almost fell to his knees on the ground!
This kind of elusive spear technique, Jenny didn't even mention it in the intelligence, is there anything wrong!
Farther away, Ling Qi was riding Godzilla, standing on the top of a hill looking down, taking in this classic hunting game.
With the talent of the Lord of Shadows, he is blessed by shadows and darkness, and his vision at night is hardly affected much, which is better than wearing night vision goggles.
Even in the darkness of night, his other means of perception besides sight, smell and hearing, all increased dramatically.
In this state, even if he doesn't have the additional recovery bonus of physical strength and vitality, his combat power is at least twice as high as during the day!
Bang!!
There was another gunshot, and the hollow sound was heard thousands of kilometers away, so that everyone who heard it seemed to be able to smell the gunsmoke from the muzzle.
The last person next to the dwarf also died, and he was directly drenched in red and white, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in the direction where the gunshots came from and begging for mercy.
Ling Qi watched as Boone, who was lying on a protruding rock, put away his firearm and walked towards the gnome, presumably to keep a living mouth to ask.
He knew it was finally time for him to play!
At the same time, the battle of Novank has also begun, and this time, the strength and weakness have completely changed hands!
"No problem!"
Hearing the wood elf give such an answer, Tang Xiao felt a little relieved. He didn't even need to figure out where the Wood Elf's sudden increase in confidence came from, it was enough to know that his life was once again secured.
The fingers of the newcomers were slightly loosened as they grasped their guns, and everyone seemed to be concerned about Leo's answer.
The Wood Elves have always had a decisive character, especially after becoming a follower of Ling Qi, this decisiveness seems to have become more and more intense!
"Whew!"
An iron arrow flew out with lightning, and the bloodstained shaft made the old ammunition even more terrifying!
Syllable!
One person's head was skewered like a sugar gourd!
Those slave traders, who were still more than a hundred meters away from Boone's house, were directly stunned!
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out from behind itself, and the other's head blossomed!
Touch!
This time, it was the sound of a nearby house slamming the door, as if to warn the people outside, you want to fight or kill, but don't mistake the target!
"!!"
The man with the hammer on his back knew that he had been ambushed, and while scolding Jenny and the dwarf man, he pulled out the miniature submachine gun pinned to his waist and aimed it at Leo's direction.
Da Da Da ~ Dada~
The tongue of fire is especially striking in the dark, Leo directly retracted his head, and the difference between being shot in the head with a slight rush and being killed by a heavy sniper is not much.
The newcomers also quickly found their own cover as soon as the bullets flew, flipping the table after the table, lifting the sofa after the sofa, and Tang Xiao also took the opportunity to press Kara, who began to scream, to fall behind the sofa.
Porphyry!
A few stray bullets sent the threads of the fabric sofa flying, and some of the bullets that hit the refrigerator sparked a lot of sparks.
Fortunately, this wave of attacks came and stopped quickly, and although the rate of fire of the micro-charge was high, the amount of ammunition was limited after all! Moreover, its accuracy was unsatisfactory, and the power of the bullets was also weakened a lot at a distance of 100 meters. It can be seen that the other side is also stunned by the sudden attack, and wants to rely on the fire suppression in exchange for some preparation time!
Da Da Da ~ Another barrage of gunfire, but this time there were no bullets, and it seemed that those men were ready to deal with the enemy on the other side first!
Bang!
The gunfire was hoarse, and probably the third unlucky guy had appeared.
Leo stuck his head out, only to see a limping figure quickly scurrying out of a pile of garbage and disappearing behind the pile of debris on the other side!
"No!! Wright !!"
"Bastard, I tore you !! roar !!"
Just as the situation was developing in the direction that Leo had imagined, and the six enemies had been reduced by half in less than a minute of firefighting, and there was probably not much fighting spirit left, the man with the power hammer on his back and the completely unmatched weapon of the miniature submachine gun actually let out a roar of beastly rage!
"Boss!!Don't!!"
"Ah!!!h
The scream came from the man's side, and I saw that the man with the power hammer on his back was of medium stature, his whole body swelled up as if it were inflated, and his skin became as red as a boiled shrimp, and then he grabbed the head of his accomplice next to him and tore it off his neck alive!
Tang Xiao, who leaned in front of the window to observe the enemy's situation, was frightened, but there was no such ability to see the hell in the original game? What is this?
Roar!
The guy who had at least doubled the size of the corpse smashed the corpse in his hand directly into the pile of debris where the Ranger was hiding, and then grabbed the power hammer that was too long and now fit well, and strode towards the messy box that had been smashed by the corpse!
Bang!
A blood flower burst open in front of the monstrous little giant's forehead, but unfortunately it obviously only made it shake its body, and failed to kill it with one blow!
"!"
The lame Ranger who had just appeared burrowed under the sledgehammer that had slashed through his head, circled to the monster's side, and shot it again in the back of the head!
Bang!
There were still a few splashes of blood, and the monster pounced forward, then stood firm, and slammed his backhand behind him!
Rumble!!!
There is a shallow pit in the concrete floor! The destructive power of the power hammer is far greater than that of the iron hammer!
Andy wiped the scars on his face from the rubble, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a few rolls pulled away from the monster, and immediately roared in the direction of Leo:
"Don't do it yet!What are you waiting for?!"
He was shocked and angry, and he almost suspected that this monster was the secret biochemical weapon newly developed by Yingrek!
You must know that the pistol he uses to attack is not an ordinary product, it is called the Ranger's Red Shirt, which is a large-caliber revolver specially customized by NRC!
Although the revolver has a small ammunition capacity and only has a semi-automatic attack mode, it has one of the biggest advantages - as long as the caliber is large enough, the barrel is thick enough, and the wrist of the person using the gun is strong, you can customize a revolver mortar that is as powerful as a sniper rifle!
The Ranger's cardinal wood is one such weapon, which looks like a pistol, but its actual power is comparable to that of an ordinary light sniper, and its strong recoil can also make ordinary people break their wrists with a single shot.
Its furious destructive power, the terrifying penetration of .45-70 custom shells, can be used to hunt African giant elephants!
Now, it was bounced alive twice by the enemy's flesh and blood! This Nima's head is made of titanium alloy, it's too bad!
Leo, who was watching from a distance, could certainly see the sharpness of Andy's attack, so he was also shocked by the monster's terrifying defense.
He has a perception of up to 17 points, just like his 17-point agility, which is definitely not something that ordinary pure-blood humans can have. Therefore, his premonition of the threat will only be clearer, much clearer than Andy!
If the pressure brought to him by the previous slave traders was 60, it was more troublesome, but it was not necessarily impossible to solve.
Then the sense of threat brought to him by this monster now is far greater than the sum of the previous six people!
He was hesitating whether to make a move right away!
Helplessly, Leo still has a sense of honor, and after this monster hammers the rangers to death, most of them will be unlucky next.
Shout!
An arrow was nailed to the crook of the monster's arm, almost piercing it, but it just looked down "curiously", and then rushed towards Andy with a roar!
In the far corner, a certain slave trader survivor who had fled in the wilderness was also holding a special firearm that had just been replaced with "ammunition" and was undecided, and he didn't know who to target!
It stands to reason that this new thing is to be tasted by stubborn slaves, such as some dead cripple who scurries around like a mouse.
But the problem is that according to the current state of his own boss, it seems that it is more appropriate to leave this shot to him!
He still vividly remembered how the slave caravan he had spent the last time had gone from heyday to ruin. That time was also because someone was emotionally out of control and went berserk, and the cause of the incident was just a dog, his old buddy, who seemed to have been secretly killed, roasted and eaten by the rest of the team.
The dead dog is going to be killed until he is exhausted before he is willing to stop, and the dead brother ~ is it worse than the dead dog! At least last time he didn't miss and beat his old friends to death.
He also remembered that after that incident, the man was in a coma for three whole days, and he almost didn't wake up. His brother drank heavily the next night, crying and recalling the painful memories of their early years in Washington. At the time, it seemed to be mentioned that since his brother was an incomplete gamma mutant, the beast was not under his control at all, and he would die suddenly after three bursts of this power. As for himself, he was the most unsuccessful piece of waste in the experiment...
After hesitating for a long time, I saw that the two of them over there were able to contain this monster. In addition to sighing, the partner of the Dead Claw Knight really lived up to his reputation, so he simply threw away the gun in his hand and ran for his life!
Compared with other people's lives, of course, it is your own most important. If he fired a shot at this time, no matter who he hit, as long as the super anesthetic needle that claimed to be able to invert death claws worked, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat!
The situation is precarious.
A dozen miles away, Boone probably didn't know that his wife and son were standing on the edge of a cliff.
He watched vigilantly at the huge figure that rushed out of the darkness, the rumbling sound that shook him almost unsteadily, and some of the gnomes had been frightened to death by the giant beast that swept by!
"It's you?!"
Boone watched in amazement as the figure leaped off the shoulder of the mutant deathclaw, tightening his grip on his weapon.
"It was Carla who asked me to come to you. ”
Ling Qi dispelled Boone's hostility with just one sentence, women are always the biggest weakness of this tough guy!
"How's Kara?"
Hearing the news of having a wife, Boone's IQ really dropped sharply, and the situation of any old friend was temporarily left behind.
"She's fine now, I've asked my partner to take care of her when I leave, and generally there should be no problem. ”
"But when I heard her say that you were led away, I always felt that there was a conspiracy in it. ”
"The person in the know is over there, so it's better for you to hurry up and ask about the situation. ”
Ling Qi put himself on the side of justice in a few words, thanking this world that has been in chaos for more than two hundred years, otherwise he is full of evil spirits, and any decent person will be disgusted when he sees it.
As soon as Boone heard this, especially the word "lead away", a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he immediately put aside the only suspicion he had about Ling Qi, and strode towards the unconscious dwarf.
Of course, when passing by Godzilla's side, he still subconsciously bypassed five meters and kept a distance that could counterattack at any time.
A few slaps woke the dwarf up, and under the threat of Boone's gun and Godzilla's giant kiss, the slave dealer who was trembling with fear immediately revealed everything he knew.
When he heard that Jenny, a sanctimonious old woman, was ready to pack up and sell his wife and unborn child to Caesar's legion, Boone trembled with rage, and almost wanted to rush to the old woman and shoot her.
When they heard that Ling Qi and his party were actually sold at a price of 3,000 bottle caps, the two people who asked were stunned at the same time. Boone shivered when he looked up at the monstrous beast that was three stories tall not far away. Ling Qi twitched the corners of his eyes, always feeling that this price did not match his worth. With his character and appearance, he is worth 30,000 bottle caps.
Finally, I heard that the slaves had been divided into two groups, one of which had already been pulled out, and was ready to be captured by Boone's wife and Ling Qi's teammates with the cooperation of the old woman Jenny. Boone turned around and was about to go back, but Ling Qi was still calmer and asked for more information about those people.
It turned out that the few of them who were responsible for luring Boone away belonged to the civilian personnel of the slave traders, and their combat effectiveness was already very low, and they were in charge of foreign trade in peacetime, and rarely participated in the war.
The other group is the real master of slave hunters and caravan guards, and it is said that a mere six people are worth a small army. As for why, the gnomes don't know either. I only know that they are indeed quite capable of fighting, especially the one who leads them, who is not tall or strong, and has terrifying strength.
Seeing that Boone couldn't wait, and the dwarf couldn't squeeze out more useful information, Ling Qi graciously rewarded him with a bullet, and then invited Boone to ride the "deathclaw" with him, ready to rush back to help!
Boone's hatred for Jenny will be difficult to clear from now on, and I'm afraid that even Novak will hate this place as well.
He was silent with a cold face all the way, and it was obvious that he was very worried. I just don't know if I have thought about the future in addition to worrying about the safety of my wife and children.
People always have to have a consideration for the future, saying that the actual is called a plan, and saying that a little farther is called an ideal.
Does Boone have ideals? This thing doesn't cost money, everyone has it, including Ling Qi, including...
The newcomers who hide in the house and turn pale with fright!
"Day! Liu Yun, you protect Kara! Brother Li, you come with me!"
Tang Xiao also has an ideal, that is, to become a master and never be underestimated!
His ideals are very simple, in fact, eighty percent of people want to become the target of others, but those who are willing to proclaim this ideal are only a few after all. Because in a society full of the word morality, this idea is called utilitarianism.
But who isn't utilitarian? Maybe there is, but that's the real minority.
Tang Xiao has worked hard and has talent, so he has become one in a million famous college students! In terms of IQ alone, he is at most similar to Ling Qi, and there are always one or two smart people out of a hundred, but he is definitely not a top genius.
It is not his talent that determines his success, nor the sweat that is exaggerated, but because he has a goal and a heart surrounded by lust!
Whether in the real world or in the world of reincarnation, I have to become a human being, and I must not be like a lump of mud!
It was with this thought that Tang Xiao finally decided to stand up, he couldn't sit back and watch Leo and that lame ranger being beaten to death. In that case, even if the captain can rush back in time and kill this monster, he will probably hate them together!
If that man had been a few seconds late, without the containment of Leo and the Rangers, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for even three seconds!
Tang Xiao, who had an ideal, pulled the bolt of the gun, and without waiting for the fat man to respond, he rushed out of the house and ran to a place twenty or thirty meters away from the monster, aiming at it is a sudden shuttle of bullets!
The fat man Li Qiang didn't hesitate for too long, he almost followed Tang Xiao closely, because he also had ideals, and his ideals were more simple, that is, to live!
Eat well, drink well, and sleep with a beautiful woman!
Timid newcomers can be strong for their dreams, and even the two little women who hugged each other gritted their teeth and separated, re-grasping their weapons, waiting for their respective rescuers.
And some of the patrols around who rushed to hear the sound didn't dare to step forward at all, and even a few turned around and left after seeing this terrifying scene, without the slightest hesitation.
What are their ideals? Like, simpler...
