v2 Chapter 44: City of Tomorrow (10)

Georgina's words were cold, cruel, and loud, without the slightest hint of a joke. The thug was so frightened that he was covered in chaff and his face turned pale.

Joyna only left a faint sentence: "Open the city gate faster. The faster you move, the longer your life, understand?"

"Yes! Understand, understand."

The thugs were intimidated by Joyina's words, and they nodded frantically, and the braids on their heads trembled.

"Ah... By the way, there's something else." The thug looked at Joyna with some trepidation, and said tremblingly.

"how?"

"Can I, can I push the winch over there?"

Georgina glanced at him, felt strange, and asked, "Why are you pushing that way?"

The thug said with a sad face, "You don't know... the device here has been in disrepair for a long time, and the gears inside are rusted. After the strength..."

Joyna understood in an instant, her face sank, and she said, "Okay. Go over there, I'll push this."

In fact, Joyna just slashed the opponent's back with her fingernails, just to intimidate him, this guy was not poisoned. Because she still expects this guy to work, if he really wants to use a fang dagger, I'm afraid he will be a ghost long ago.

Seeing Joyna agree with one blow, the thugs felt a sense of gratitude in their hearts and thanked her a lot.

In order to survive, at this moment, how dare he even have the slightest idea of ​​escaping?

The thugs rushed towards the other winch, wishing that they could become a mule and horse that grinds a mill, and immediately began to work.

"Squeak...quack..."

The winch began to turn, the metal friction sounded, and the huge gate on the city wall shook slightly, opened a gap, and slowly retracted the walls on both sides.

The poor thug almost exerted his strength to suckle, sweating all over his body, and the gold stars were rising in front of his eyes, but the speed of the winch still couldn't keep up with Joyna.

He saw that Joyna seemed to be able to push the winch effortlessly, and the facility that used to require two people to turn was in her hands, just like a joke, and his heart was even more horrified.

Since the two needed to keep the same pace, Joyner had no choice but to slow down and synchronize with each other.

The sound of the gear's "squeak" changed from loud to small, and gradually stopped. Finally, with a "click" sound, the locking point of the gear has been positioned.

The huge gate finally opened.

the other side.

At this point, Harris was curled up in the cab, carefully pocketing the remaining bolts. After that, he kept rolling between the driver's seat and the car doors on both sides, probing his head, and a small heart was beating wildly.

Because, this is his first kill, and the record is good.

He has done his best, relying on his short stature, he released six or seven cold arrows one after another in the dark, directly killing two people, seriously injuring one person, and making the remaining guards extremely fearful.

But after all, there are too many guards. There are twenty or thirty people who came to increase the number of people, and each of them is fierce and cruel.

Moreover, among these thugs, there are guys with rich combat experience. According to the shooting trajectory of the crossbow, they gradually discovered the location of the enemy, which is in the front cab, so they are quietly surrounding the truck from several directions.

"Whizzing!"

Suddenly, two sounds of breaking air came from the back of the truck, and the thugs were so frightened that they scattered and hid in all directions, and turned their heads into tortoises again.

Perhaps it was the heroic resistance of the child Harris that inspired the courage of the refugees, or perhaps it was Joyna's words "every coward has a chance to become a warrior" when she left, which inspired the fighting spirit of these people.

The rest of the people also took up arms, bravely faced the guards, and started the battle to defend themselves.

The refugees all understand that if they don't fight back at this juncture, once the rioters control the situation and see that only these refugees are resisting in the car, they will be instantly submerged under the attack of the other party.

And if the refugees can't wait for Joyna to return, I'm afraid their lives will come to an end.

"We are dead..."

"Woooooo, I don't want to be burned alive by them tied to a wooden frame!"

"God, have pity on us!"

Some timid refugees crawl in the carriage and begin to cry and kneel uncontrollably. They whisper to God for mercy and not let them die at the hands of these cruel thugs.

For a while, the grief spread...

Although these refugees have long been displaced and wandered in the wilderness, they have never fought a war or killed anyone.

Faced with so many thugs now, they are naturally frightened, so their reactions are just normal people's reactions.

The thugs began to attack, and began to shoot indiscriminately tentatively.

Although there were many thugs, no one dared to set fire to fire, because they found that the enemy had weapons, and they were also crossbow arrows, and they were afraid that they would become living targets.

In this battle, the strengths of the two sides were actually completely unequal, and the refugees were instantly overwhelmed by the opponent's attack. Fortunately, they were hiding in the truck, protected by strong iron nets, and all kinds of things that could be used as shields, so after another hit back, no one was injured.

Soon, the situation reversed.

Some daring thugs rushed to the distance from the truck

A few dozen meters away, the torch was thrown directly at the truck.

Naturally, it was impossible for these torches to injure people, but when the flames lit up, the surrounding environment was immediately reflected, and the figures of the refugees were also clearly exposed.

As more and more torches were thrown, the situation around the truck gradually deteriorated.

Seeing this, the refugees panicked. Some huddled in the corner, some lay on the car with their heads in their arms, and some pushed all the debris in front of them to resist the thugs' crossbow arrows.

In just a few minutes, the thugs rushed closer to the truck under the cover of firepower. As long as they removed the iron net~lightnovelpub.net~ they could capture all the refugees in the car!

city ​​wall.

"The door... the door is open, now, can you give me the antidote?"

The thug who pushed the winch was sweating profusely and collapsed to the ground, but he still stretched out his hands and prayed to Joyna with a crying voice.

As early as the moment the city gate opened, Joyna had a panoramic view of the crisis situation of the refugees.

But she still had no idea what antidote was there. She shook her body and "clicked" a hand knife and slashed directly on the thug's neck.

Broken cervical vertebra!

The guy immediately rolled his eyes, stuck his tongue out, and slammed to the ground to his death.

Joyner now has no choice but to kill him.

Because this guy is at the top of the city and is still guarding the winch, if he is allowed to live, the city gate may open in vain, and it will be closed again at some point.

Joyna tied the thick cable around her waist, then "tengten" back a few steps, took a deep breath, and made a leap of faith from the city wall!
