Chapter 20: Cheating and Buying Life
"Boom, boom, boom......."
The sound of explosions was heard outside the city.
The Klick Pirates set the scrap terminal on fire, and the time limit for his main quest is only a few hours.
After three days of arrangement, it was finally harvest time.
Su Xiao walked through the gradually approaching night and began to approach the city gate.
------------------
Outside the city, the scrap terminal.
At this moment, the explosions here have been connected together, and the flames have risen to the sky, and large areas of burning garbage have been blown up.
The displaced people who had been resting in the scrap terminal were awakened by the sudden explosion, and the fire began to spread in the garbage mountain.
By the time the displaced people reacted and tried to escape their homes, the fire had spread completely.
The terrible screams, echoed by the sound of the explosion, showing a hellish scene.
If hell exists, then the current scrap terminal is hell.
The people of the Klick Pirates, watching the fire that gradually spread at the scrap terminal, began to quickly approach the city gate.
They had discussed with Su Xiao before, once the scrap terminal was ignited, they would immediately go to the city gate, and Su Xiao would send someone to open the city gate.
Such an act of putting his life in the hands of others, of course, Click would not agree.
So after the meeting, Su Xiao sent his cronies 'Hank' to follow the Klick Pirates to act together.
At this point, Hank was already disguised as a pirate and followed behind Klick.
"Quick, the fire is about to spread, and then we will be in danger."
Trick yelled, and his men behind him quickened their pace.
Three minutes later, the Klick Pirates arrived outside the city gates.
When they came to the city gate, the pirates had a smile on their faces, they had done the work, and the next thing they needed to do was to enter the city and welcome the good life.
Click himself, in particular, was already in reverie about his life after becoming a nobleman.
Luxurious abode, fine food, and already a large group of tender women's bodies.
At this moment, Klick even wanted to give up his identity as a pirate completely.
"Bang, bang, bang~." Klick knocked on the gates.
"Open the door, we're the Klick Pirates, and we've ignited the scrap terminal."
When Klick knocked on the gates, there was a deathly silence, and there was silence in the city except for the sound of the night wind blowing the flames.
"Hey, open the door quickly, the fire is about to spread."
Still silent, Klick was a little flustered.
Behind them was an engulfing fire, and in front of them were the fortified gates, and they were trapped.
It won't be long before they are burned to death.
"What's going on, why aren't the gates open?"
Trick's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned to glare at Hank like an enraged beast.
Hank's lips were a little pale, he was sent outside the city by Su Xiao, Hank was just an ordinary guard, and he didn't know anything about the king's intend to keep his promise.
"No, it won't, wait, wait a minute, I'll give it a try."
Hank couldn't say anything, he vaguely guessed something.
"Bang, bang, bang~, open the door, I'm Hank of the guards, White Night, you come out for me, come out!"
Hank began to scream, and as for the adult who was called, he had already omitted it.
"White Night, I'm going to kill you!"
Klick had already understood that he had been deceived by Su Xiao, and now they were just pawns, victims.
The bloodshot eyes looked at Hank.
"Burn, die, him!"
After Click said this word by word, his subordinates immediately tied up Hank, and several people worked together to throw Hank into the fire not far away.
"Ah~, it's none of my business, Bai Ye, you can't die well!"
The flames began to 'kiss' Hank's skin, and the screams lasted for more than a dozen seconds before disappearing.
Just when the Klick Pirates were almost desperate, a deep male voice came from the city walls.
"Hey, people below, do you want to live?"
Everyone in front of the city gate shook.
"Who is it, come out for me."
Click lost his mind a little, and looked above the city wall by the firelight, which was a middle-aged man with a thin build.
Just as Crick was about to speak, barrels of explosives were thrown from the walls one after another.
Seeing the explosive barrels that fell to the ground, Klick was terrified, and there was a sea of fire behind him, which was trying to blow them up.
"Blow open the gates, you still have a little hope."
After saying that, the middle-aged man on the city wall retracted his body and disappeared into the darkness.
After hesitating for less than two seconds, Ah Jin was the first to rush to the barrels of explosives and place them at the gates of the city.
There was an anxious conversation inside the city gates, and it seemed that something was going on outside the city gates.
Klick ripped off his black robe, revealing a yellow armor, his arm raised, and a bullet fired at the barrel of explosives.
"Boom!"
The impact of the explosion pushed everyone back from the Klick Pirates, and some of the unlucky pirates were pierced by the debris splashed by the explosion and fell to the ground.
A pirate group of several hundred people, because of this explosion, lost at least a dozen people.
But it's well worth it, because the gates have been blown open.
Behind the blasted gates, there were several broken corpses, all of which were guards.
The Klick Pirates stepped on the broken gates and entered the royal capital.
This is a gang of angry pirates, so they are going to burn and loot in the royal city.
"Hey, you stop me."
Klick looked into a dark corner, his arms raised flat, the muzzle of his shoulder aimed at him.
"Don't shoot, I'm here to save you."
The middle-aged man on the city wall before walked out in the darkness with some fear in his eyes.
"Why save me, I really don't want to recognize you."
Klick did not lay down his arms.
"I have a grudge against Bai Ye, and the enemy of the enemy is my friend."
A cruel smile tugged at the corner of Klick's mouth.
"Where is the white night?"
"At the royal palace, he was receiving a reward from the king, and was said to have been rewarded with a noble status."
Words such as rewards and noistocracy irritated Crick, because it was supposed to be his.
"Bang." The gunshot rang out, the middle-aged man's chest was pierced, and a fist-thick blood hole appeared, and Klick actually shot his own savior.
"You bastard, how dare you throw explosives at me and try to kill me?"
After saying that, Klick led the people to rush in the direction of the palace, he wanted to kill the white night, kill the king, and sack the palace to make up for today's losses.
The middle-aged man lay on the ground, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and his body kept convulsing.
Looking at the Klick Pirates who were walking away, the middle-aged man's eyes began to dim.
At this moment, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth walked out of the dark corner.
"Take~, give the money to my wife and daughter, I have done as you requested."
Su Xiao squatted in front of the middle-aged man and spit out a puff of green smoke.
"Well done, the money has been handed over to them."
"It's great, thank you, thank you~."
After saying that, the middle-aged man's eyes were completely dim, and he died under Klick's gunfire.
This middle-aged man was a death row prisoner rescued by Su Xiao in prison, and the previous incident was just a transaction.
Su Xiao paid money, and middle-aged people paid for their lives, which was both a fair and unfair transaction.
Looking at the Klick Pirates in the distance, Su Xiao threw away the cigarette in his hand and stepped on it.
"Klick Pirates, don't let me down."
Su Xiao disappeared into the night and hurried towards the palace.
