Chapter Seventy-One: A Choice at Gunpoint
Bang!!!
The people in the square have not yet evacuated, and dozens of iron cans have been thrown from the boat.
The strangely shaped tin can fell to the ground, and the devil's tooth-like lid opened and closed with a bang.
The firelight spread in the square.
The originally neat white stone floor tiles were blown up one by one, and the rubble shot towards the people running around.
The riots in the crowd were even worse, and the magistrates were no longer able to maintain order.
Stampeding, panicking, screaming.
The whole square was filled with chaos.
Listening to the pleasant explosion in his ears and looking at the proud figure at the bow of the ship, Jinx suddenly smiled.
She was tied up and couldn't move, but just listening to the explosions around her made her sure where they came from, the bombs she had left for Hilco.
Only with them will there be a click and click of the lid opening and closing.
"I've heard that someone here is going to execute my people, and I can't agree to that."
Hilco stood at the bow of the ship, and his words were unquestionable in their words, reaching the ears of everyone present.
He wasn't tall, but as soon as he stood on the boat, the magistrates surrounding him were so frightened that they didn't even dare to approach.
"Hilco!"
Wei fists collided together, and there was a loud bang.
He stared at the man at the bow of the boat who had killed her partner and adoptive father, clenched Hex's fists in his hands, and rushed in that direction.
"Vi? You're still the same as you were back then, with only a pair of fists. ”
Hilco watched indifferently as Wei Gao jumped up, and was about to punch him in the face.
The people of Picheng are looking forward to this scene, hoping to hit the ground running.
But...
Touch!!!
Hilco's hooded figure behind him struck out blatantly, and his iron fist flew out of his hand, slamming into the door in front of Wei at a superfast speed.
She couldn't dodge in the air, and was hit by the iron fist, and with a muffled grunt, she was smashed into the air at a faster speed, landing next to Jace and smashing a large hole, and fell to the ground.
Her old injuries have not healed, and this blow is enough for her to rest for a while.
Hilco's five hooded figures jumped out of the boat, and the iron fists flew out one by one, grabbing the nearby sheriff and punching him hard.
Often, a single punch can seriously injure a magistrate, and if it hits the vital point, it can be fatal.
Seeing death on his side, Jace realized that something was wrong.
Hilco, it doesn't look like he's acting at all.
He raised his hammer in his hand, and blue Hex's electricity swung over it.
Multiply...
Airplanes!
A pale blue energy cannon was released from the hammer, flying straight towards Hilko.
Facing the oncoming energy cannon, Hilco still didn't change his face, he just took a step back.
There was a roar, and the energy cannon was stopped by the robot that suddenly stepped forward, although the front of the robot was scorched black, but it was still like a strong shield, blocking Hilko's front.
Seeing this, Caitlin on the other side didn't care about evacuating the people, so she pulled out her gun and fired.
Bang!
The bullet was bored in the light of the fire and swept through the air quickly.
The target of her shot was not Hilco standing at the bow of the ship, but Jinx, who was tied to the execution post.
Jinx was tied with ropes and could only watch as bullets came at him.
But she's not afraid at all, she's also a good gunman.
This bullet was not aimed at her head.
She can't move now, and if nothing else, the rope on her body will be hit by a bullet, and she will be able to get out of the trap.
However, things will not always be smooth sailing.
Touch!
The crisp sound of bullets hitting steel sounded, and Jinx's position was enclosed by the steel arm, and there was a white mark in Caitlyn's direction.
Immediately afterward, the pillar that Jinx was tied to was pulled up with an iron fist and grabbed back to Hilco's side.
Seeing this scene, Jace's face became even worse, and he raised the hammer in his hand and began to recharge.
Jinx was freed from the rope with the help of the robot, and she stretched her body.
Her eyes looked around, and after a few moments, she finally found her target.
Next to a tragically dead magistrate on the deck, he picked up the gun that belonged to the other party.
With the gun in her hand, she lifted it up without hesitation.
In the eyes of everyone, amazed.
Jinx stood in front of Hilco, the muzzle of the gun pointed at Hilco's head.
Wei is still lying on the ground at the moment, but her face is much better. Caitlin's expression was also relaxed, and she glanced at her mother not far away, with joy in her eyes.
Jace tightened the hammer in his hand even tighter, his face full of nervousness and anticipation.
He didn't have the idea of blackmailing the other party just now, and now he only thought that Hilco was a restless factor that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.
All the fleeing Picheng people paused, pausing to witness the end of this unexpected dramatic scene.
But Ryan and Raven in the distance, still like two spectators, their faces calm, as if everything was expected.
Hilco didn't seem surprised at all when someone held a gun to him.
His gaze subconsciously glanced at Vi, who was half-lying on the ground, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, understanding why Jinx did this.
Finally, he focused all eyes on Jinx's face.
His face was filled with relief and hope, and his lips were slightly open, as if he were saying two words.
Bang!!!
The light of the fire bloomed from the head of the gun, like a brilliant firework, piercing the air, carrying the smell of gunsmoke, penetrating the human body.
"No !!"
A mournful female voice rang out, followed by an even more riotous crowd.
Hilco stood in front of Jinx intact, even with regret in his eyes.
At the most critical moment, Jinx twisted the barrel of the gun and shot a stern-looking and well-dressed lady.
The lady was a former councillor, and her name was Lady Gillaman.
And the scream just now was the voice of her daughter Caitlin.
"My name is Jinx!"
Jinx turned, the gun in his hand raised, and in Azure's desperate gaze, bullets came out.
Every shot can take the life of a magistrate.
With every shot, the scene becomes more chaotic.
It wasn't until her bullets ran out and the gunshots rang out below that she ducked behind the bunker droid and let the barrage rain down on it.
"What's next? And weapons? Let's make a fuss! ”
In the hail of bullets, Jinx was extremely excited, and she looked at Hilco, waiting for the other party's instructions.
As always, Jinx will be Hilco's right-hand man!
In the choice just now, she naturally gave up shooting.
She tried to turn the gun on him, but she really couldn't, she couldn't kill the man who had been with her for years, treating her like a daughter.
That's right, she's figured it out lately. The other party does not see her as a tool, but as his beloved daughter.
It wasn't until the moment he put his hand on the trigger that Jinx really realized...
Perhaps, Wei is very important in her heart, important enough to make her change her mind again and again.
But the premise of all of that was to prevent her from turning her gun on Hilco.
