Chapter 57: Doomed to Futility
[Second update is provided, continue to ask for support ~~~]
In the dark night, under the moonlight, in the distant river water, steamships of all sizes formed a fleet of ships, and slowly appeared. The metal shell refracted the moonlight and outlined the outline of the huge body of the steamship from the darkness. Huge chimneys stood on the deck, and above the chimney, white mist rose, as if giants were spitting out mist.
A trembling red light suddenly flashed, "Woo..." A sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and another pillar of water soared into the sky on the river surface here.
The red light flashed again, the third wave! This shell hit the river bank, and the soil was flying, deafening.
As the distance approached, the ship gradually entered the range.
There is no need for Dugu Fu to do more, the facts are already in front of him. The speed of the system steamship is coming faster than expected! The power of the earth-shaking shocked everyone present. Although they are all rebels and are mentally prepared to fight against the immortals and immortals, when have they seen such a powerful weapon and such an incredible power?
One by one, they were blown away and were stunned!
It was not just the people who were rebeling. At this moment, it was nightfall, and the lights and wine in the small town were just beginning. The sudden sound of cannons caused the entire county to fall into silence. The lights stopped moving, the crowd stopped being noisy, and all their eyes turned to the river bank where the cannons came.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? Go ashore, hurry up, and the person who falls into the water pulls up, hurry up and leave! Go away!" After all, he was the leader, Lin Ziqing was the first to react and shout. The soldiers of the Resistance Army woke up like a dream, pulling me, pulling me, carrying me, and quickly leaving the warehouse dock.
However, the gunner on the steamer obviously knew what the target was. He turned the gun mouth and chased the rebels tightly with loud shocks.
Fortunately, the boat was limited in speed, coupled with the bumps in the water, the accurate head was insufficient... It was just that the splashing shrapnel injured several people, and no one was directly hit.
"Don't get too close to each other. The shells explode and try to evacuate them!" Dugu Fu shouted hard in the crowd.
Dozens of nearly a hundred people ran away from the river bank and into the streets of the neighboring banks. When they arrived at the bustling place, they temporarily got rid of the steamboat's pursuit, and the rebels were able to breathe and look at each other in a panoramic way.
"What the hell is going on?"
"How did the system army come to Lingling?"
This shocking blow was really abrupt, and everyone was frightened.
"What's going on?" Lin Ziqing's face turned pale and picked up Lu Tao with limp limbs.
"I don't know! I don't know!" As soon as the stone in his mouth left, Lu Tao shouted angrily.
"I don't know? I don't know why you were able to escape? I don't know how you took 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 the eyes of everyone, Lu Tao shouted sadly, "I, I, I, I received the order from above!"
"The above command?" No one believed it.
Lu Tao gritted his teeth and since he had already spoken, he whispered: "The order is still in my pocket."
Lin Ziqing was stunned. At this point, there was no way to tell a lie that would be exposed in a moment, right? After searching for a while, he really found a scroll of paper - "Before the hour of You, take the Guo family out of Lingling City. You must not tell anyone. You will burn it after reading it." There was a small seal behind it.
"Yes, it's true..." Lin Ziqing repeatedly tested the seal, but no matter how he looked at it, it was real and valid.
"I should have burned it after reading it, but I think this order is a bit weird, so... it didn't burn."
"Who gave it to you?"
"Each of our instructors has a separate line..."
Lin Ziqing nodded, he knew this. He frowned deeply. If he said this, Lu Tao was really not a traitor? It just happened? He looked at Dugu Fu in confusion.
Dugu Fu shrugged, it was really not Lu Tao to say so. What deceived him was not his acting skills, but the facts. His judgment did not decline. However, he clearly saw him using a trick of Jeet Kune... Maybe he was wrong? "Since it's not Lu Tao, there must be someone else..."
Lin Ziqing's expression changed drastically: "Dragon, who has ever seen the Dragon and his people?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads
Dugu Fu turned to Lu Tao: "You have all taken away from the Guo family?"
"Well, I'll take them out of the city first, and then pick up Guo Xingxing." Lu Tao said sadly.
While speaking, a loud shout came: "Here! Here! They are here!" At the intersection not far away, a player looked at them, jumped and jumped at the steamboat on the river, and shouted.
Dugu Fu never forgot his eyes and saw at a glance that this was one of the players who had just been killed. He had just run over from the resurrection site.
"Fuck!" Lin Ziqing cursed, possessed himself and bent over and jumped over.
"Japan and European..." Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came. With an ear, Dugu Fu grabbed Lin Ziqing and the servant street he was taken to the ground.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the energy was everywhere. Looking at the place where the player just waved and jumped, there was only a big pit left...
"Hiss..." Lin Ziqing's scalp was numb and gasped, "Thank you."
"No..." Dugu Fu waved his hand, and before he finished speaking, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" One after another, he exploded one after another, and began to take turns around the street. The roof collapsed, the walls fell, the debris flew, the air waves surged, and the flesh and blood were in chaos...
"Ahhhh..." There were people on the street, and there were still many. After seeing the cannons in front, they were stunned. They woke up suddenly when the continuous cannons came. They screamed in fear as if the doomsday had come. Some people were directly bombarded by the cannons, fell to the ground and moaned; some were trampled by the running crowd, and they cried endlessly as everyone stepped on them. Some people even lived in the houses on both sides of the street, and they knew nothing, and they were buried alive for no reason.
The originally peaceful night market on the riverside turned into a battlefield of chaos in the blink of an eye.
"What, why... why is this happening!" Lin Ziqing's eyes were so angry that they were trembling, "These are all civilians! They are innocent."
In the fire, Lin Ziqing slowly stood up, his voice trembling: "Brothers, do you still remember us, why did we join the Resistance Army?" "If you are not afraid of death, come with me..." He bent down and suddenly jumped out.
After a moment of silence, the people of the rebels understood the shopkeeper's meaning. Some were still hesitating, while others followed Lin Ziqing's footsteps without thinking.
Realizing that artillery fire came from the river, the panicked crowd was running along the streets to the heights and away from the riverside.
Only they are moving in the opposite direction. They want to run back to the river and become the target of steamship artillery again. They do not want innocent civilians to be implicated...
However, this effort is destined to be futile!
"Don't go! It's useless!" Dugu Fu shouted with all his strength and said his guess with difficulty, "They are planning to massacre the city! They want to massacre the city!"
