Chapter 57: Doomed Futile [Second Update]
[The second more is offered, continue to ask for support~~~]
In the dark night, under the moonlight, in the distant river, a fleet of large and small steamships slowly appeared. The metal shell reflects the moonlight, and from the darkness, outlines the massive body of the steamship. Huge chimneys towered over the deck, and above the chimneys, white mist rose, as if giants were spewing out clouds.
Suddenly, a trembling red light flashed, and the sharp sound of "Woo ......" breaking the sky came immediately, and on the river surface here, there was another column of rushing water.
The red light flashes again, the third way! This shell hit the riverbank, and the mud flew up, which was deafening.
As the distance approached, the ships gradually came into range.
There is no need for Dugu to bother with more words, the facts are already in front of you. The system steamship is coming faster than expected! The earth-shaking power shocked everyone present. Although they are all rebels and are mentally prepared to fight against the Celestials and Eternals, when have they ever seen such a powerful weapon, such an incredible liliang?
One by one, the bombarded lost souls were stunned!
Not to mention the rebels, at this moment, it is the time when night falls, the lights of the small town are bright, and the nightlife has just begun. The sudden sound of artillery made the entire county fall silent. The lights stopped moving, the crowd stopped cacophony, and all eyes turned to the riverbank where the cannon was heard.
"What are you doing in a daze? Go ashore, hurry ashore, pull up the handle of the person who fell into the water, hurry up! Let's go! After all, it was the leader, Lin Ziqing was the first to react and shouted hard. The soldiers of the rebels woke up like a dream, you pulled me, you carried me, and quickly left the dock.
However, the gunners on the steamship apparently knew what the target was. Turning the muzzle of the cannon, a loud earthquake followed the figure of the rebels.
Fortunately, the boat had limited speed and the bumps in the water, so it was not accurate...... Only the flying shrapnel injured a few people, and no one was directly hit.
"Don't get too close to each other, the shells explode one by one, and evacuate as much as possible!" Caught in the crowd, Dugu Fu shouted hard.
Dozens of people ran away from the river bank and into the neighboring streets. When they arrived at the bustling place, they were temporarily free from the pursuit of steamboats, and the rebels were able to breathe and look at each other.
"What the hell is going on?"
"How did the system army come to Lingling?"
This blow was really too abrupt, and everyone was terrified.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Ziqing's face was pale, and he picked up Lu Tao, who was limp in all fours.
"I don't know! I do not know! As soon as the stone in his mouth was gone, Lu Tao shouted angrily.
"Don't know? I don't know how you slipped? I don't know how you could take Miss Guo away without my consent? Lin Ziqing gritted his teeth. Everyone looked at Lu Tao with strange eyes.
"I'm not a traitor! I'm not a traitor! Looking at everyone's eyes, Lu Tao exclaimed sadly, "I, I, I received an order from above!" ”
"The order from above?" No one believed.
Lu Tao gritted his teeth, since he had already spoken, he ...... In a low voice, he said, "The order is still in my pocket." ”
Lin Ziqing was stunned for a moment, so far, he won't tell this kind of lie that will be exposed at once, right? After rummaging for a while, I really found a scroll of paper - "Before the time of the unitary, take the Guo family away from Lingling City." Don't tell anyone. It will be burned immediately after reading. "There's a little stamp on the back.
"Yes, it's true......" Lin Ziqing repeatedly checked the seal, but no matter how you look at it, it is true and valid.
"I was supposed to burn it after reading it, but I thought the order was a bit weird, so I ...... Didn't burn. ”
"Who gave it to you?"
"Each of our instructors has a separate line......"
Lin Ziqing nodded, he knew this. frowned deeply, if you say this, Lu Tao is really not a traitor? Just by coincidence? He looked at Dugu Fu suspiciously.
Dugu Fu shrugged, it was really not Lu Tao to say this. What deceived me was not acting, but the facts, and my judgment did not regress? However, I obviously saw him use a trick Jeet Kune Do...... Maybe it's wrong? "Since it's not Lu Tao, there must be someone else......"
In one sentence, Lin Ziqing's face changed greatly: "Second child, has anyone seen the second child and his people?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads
Dugu Fu turned to Lu Tao: "The people of the Guo family have all been taken away by you?" ”
"Well, I took them out of the city first, and then I came to pick up Guo Xingxing." Lu Tao said gloomily.
As he spoke, a loud shout suddenly came: "This way! This way! They're over there! Not far away, a player watched them, jumping and shouting at the steamboat on the river.
Dugu Fu never forgot it, and at a glance, he could see that this was one of the players who had just been killed. Probably just ran from the resurrection point.
"!" Lin Ziqing cursed, bent over and jumped over.
"Japan-Europe ......" Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking the air came. As soon as his ears moved, Dugu Fu grabbed Lin Ziqing and was brought to the ground by him.
"Boom!" There was a big explosion, and the energy was overflowing. If you look at the place where the player just swung and jumped, there was a big pit left......
"Hiss......" Lin Ziqing's scalp was numb, and he gasped, "xiexie." ”
"No ......" Dugu Fu waved his hand, and the words were not finished, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One after another, the explosions began to be staged around this street. Roofs collapsed, walls toppled, debris flew, air swelled, flesh and blood spilled......
"Ahhh......h As if the end was coming, he screamed in fear and fled in all directions. Some people were directly hit by the shelling, fell to the ground and groaned in grief; Someone was trampled by the running crowd, and as everyone stepped on, the wails continued. There are even people who live in houses on both sides of the street, and they don't know anything, so they are buried alive for no reason.
The originally peaceful riverside night market has become a battlefield of chaos in the blink of an eye.
"What, how...... How so! Lin Ziqing's eyes were cracked, and the tiger's body trembled, "These, these are civilians!" is innocent. ”
Under the artillery fire, Lin Ziqing slowly stood up, his voice trembling: "Brothers, remember us, weishenme joined the rebels?" "If you're not afraid of death, come with me......" Leaned over and bowed his head, and suddenly jumped out.
Stunned for a moment, the rebels understood the meaning of the shopkeeper, some were still hesitating, but some followed Lin Ziqing's footsteps without thinking.
Realizing that the artillery fire was coming from the river, the panicked crowd was struggling to go up the street, away from the river.
They are the only ones who go against the grain. They were to run back to the river and become targets for steamship artillery again. They do not want innocent civilians to be implicated......
However, this effort is doomed to be in vain!
"Don't go! It's useless! Dugu Fu shouted as hard as he could, and said his conjecture with difficulty, "They are planning to slaughter the city!" They're going to slaughter the city! ”
Amid the artillery fire, the rebels stopped.
