Chapter 071: Showdown!
Chapter 071: Showdown!
The small town of Cowill.
As night fell, in a clearing in the town, some people held torches and formed a large circle.
After experiencing the break-in of the walking corpse during the day, everyone was terrified, and everyone's face was full of uneasiness, worried that history would repeat itself, and stood nervously together.
In this accident, a total of three survivors were killed in the town, and seven people were injured.
A child has lost his father, a husband has lost his wife, and an elderly woman. People, losing their spouses, is heartbreaking.
Back in town, Cowell changed his clothes. During the fight with Kevin, the left side of his face was bruised, leaving a small wound that was covered with gauze.
He stood in the middle of the crowd, staring ahead with anger in his eyes.
Directly in front of him, Kevin's bullet in the abdomen was removed, he had undergone surgery, his waist was wrapped in a thick bandage, and he was tied to a wooden post.
So far, everything has been attributed to Kevin, explaining to everyone that he is the one who started the accident.
He portrayed Kevin's heinous nature as a vicious villain, and his injuries were not met with pity, but by the anger of everyone in the town.
"Kill him!!"
"This kind of person will be cut with a thousand cuts."
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him......"
The crowd of onlookers, all hoping for the righteous Cowell, could kill this man, and no one interceded for him, and the cheers were almost unanimous.
Uncle BΓΌhler even picked up the scythe and kept swinging it, and he was emotional. If he doesn't correct this person, he doesn't mind doing it himself!
Several people who lost their loved ones looked at Kevin angrily. Some spat at Kevin, and some directly smashed rotten eggs on Kevin's body.
The eggs were smashed, the stench quickly dispersed, and everyone still didn't let go. A rotten egg was even more impartial, just hitting Kevin's wound and waking him up.
Opening his eyes, listening to the cursing in his ears, feeling the baptism of saliva and rotten eggs, Kevin lowered his head and stared at the ground in front of him expressionlessly.
Inside the building, Wenwen was under house arrest in her room, and Cowell knew that he and Kevin were friends, so he sent someone to watch her and prevent her from leaving the building.
He just told Wenwen that he had caught the sinner. The one who wounded the town and killed innocent people, a bastard who wielded a crossbow arrow. Egg!
The guards stood on both sides of the door, with guns in their hands, respectful and responsible. Wenwen was anxious at this time, and had already guessed that that person was Kevin.
As soon as she pushed the door open, the guards would stop her at gunpoint and send her back to the room, and they wouldn't be rude to her, as Cowell had explained.
Sent back to the room again, Wenwen still didn't give up, locked the door behind her back, and took off the shoes on her feet to avoid making a sound when she walked.
Then she walked softly to the balcony, slowly pushed the two windows open, fled along the eaves, and when she saw that the height was about the same, she jumped to the ground.
Striding towards the clearing, she saw the crowd gathered there, peeled off her torch-wielding men, rushed through the crowd, and ran towards Cowell.
"Let go of me, let me pass! I'm going to talk to Cowell! Let go and let me go ......"
"I'm sorry, you can't go over."
As soon as Wenwen rushed in, she was spotted by two of her men, who grabbed her and held her arm to prevent her from approaching Cowell.
"Cowell, he's my friend, I think you've got it wrong! I believe him, this must not have been done by him, please let him go. β
Wenwen looked into the distance and saw Kevin, who was covered in rotten eggs, with gauze wrapped around his waist, and blood still oozing out of the wound, and looked distressed.
She tried to rush over to check on Kevin's injuries, but was kept under control by her men.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you this time!"
Cowell was resolute, and his words fell, looking at Kevin tied in the distance, his eyes full of anger. On the one hand, for the town, and on the other hand, for his daughter.
Only by killing Kevin can he be able to rest as a civilian, and can he give an explanation to everyone, so that everyone can continue to defend him and strengthen his previous position.
can also take revenge for killing women in the name of punishment, of course he will not let go of this opportunity, and he will not let Kevin go for the sake of Wenwen.
"Kill him!! Kill him!! Kill him!!! Kill him!!! β
Everyone continued to shout the same slogan in unison, and Wenwen looked at Colwell in disappointment, showing a sad expression, very painful.
"Today, we are going to punish another person who lied to me. He is no longer loyal! β
Speaking of this, Cowell looked a little sad, and when the words fell, Lucas was tied, brought from one side, and knelt under Cowell.
He knew that it was his own mistake that caused Kevin's revenge this time, and if he had killed Kevin with his own hands at that time, he would definitely not have these things again.
He deceived Cowell and told him that Kevin was dead, and that he had received a high reward with Kevin's relics, so he began to repent a little.
"He was, a warrior to all of us, protecting this town. He was a reliable and loyal companion, but he wasn't anymore. β
"I have a proposal! It's better to let the two of them perform a life-and-death duel for everyone, and the one who wins survives, and let God decide who can survive. β
Cowell is smart.
He didn't kill Kevin directly, for fear that Wenwen would be sad and wanted to use Lucas's hand to help him kill Kevin, or let Kevin kill Lucas.
Who survives, it is all up to God's will!
As Cowell finished speaking, the man with the torch began to heckle, and then everyone agreed with the approach, cheering and wanting to see a showdown.
Torches danced up and down, cheers were deafening, and at everyone's demand, Lucas was unbound, pointed at gunpoint, and walked to the middle of the circle.
Colwell raised his hand and tossed him an axe. Taking the axe, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kevin, thinking in his heart.
On the other side, Kevin was also released from the stake, and his body fell to his knees weakly, holding the ground with one hand. To be fair, Cowell likewise gave him an axe.
Glancing at Wenwen opposite, he smiled at her, happy that he could see her one last time and fight in front of her.
Pretending to be fine, he got up from the ground, axe in one hand, and stood up trembling and straight. Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers gave him a round of applause.
"You bastard. Egg! β
As soon as he stood firm, Lucas rushed over and punched Kevin in the abdomen, curling him up to the ground and pulling him up from the ground.
"Why didn't you die? Why!!! β
Grabbing Kevin's collar, Lucas asked through gritted teeth. Kevin didn't respond to him, just smiled at Lucas, and some blood spurted out of his mouth.
