.Chapter 2003
2003 The battle (1)
Among these despairing people, there were the enemies who had been defeated earlier. They escaped quickly enough to avoid being left dead on the street.
But in their hearts, they were already scared out of their wits, even if some of them were still trembling.
The sound of bullets flying and the scene of his companions falling to the ground was like a nightmare.
He originally thought that with the advantage of numbers, he could easily get rid of the dwarf’s group, but now it was just a joke.
If they weren’t careful, they might be the ones to be killed.
It was for this reason that this group of despaired people were on guard against a great enemy and had already prepared for a great battle.
At this moment, at the forefront of this group, there were shields made of various items, forming a shield wall.
This was the best way to defend against arrow attacks. Although they didn’t know if it could defend against bullets, they couldn’t find any other defensive weapons other than this kind of protective equipment.
Behind the shield was a group of burly men. They had different appearances and held all kinds of long-range attack weapons in their hands.
There were wooden javelins, bows and arrows, as well as throwing knives and stones. If they were thrown with all their strength, their power could not be underestimated.
Further back were a group of desepers with close-combat weapons in their hands.
There were also a large number of people lurking in the streets and the protruding parts of the outer walls of the buildings.
All the members of the gang were present, and the leader was personally in charge, so their reaction speed was extremely fast.
The tension was contagious. Even though most of the members had not seen the power of the modified pistol, they subconsciously became nervous when they saw their companions ‘frightened looks.
The street, where more than a thousand people were gathered, was extremely quiet at this moment, which made people feel extremely strange.
In this depressing atmosphere, a series of footsteps could be heard, echoing on the street.
A tall figure slowly appeared on the street in front of them. It was Tang Zhen, who was heading straight for the enemy’s base.
He was wearing a long robe made of an unknown material. As the robe fluttered, a faint purple-gold armor could be seen.
Compared to those despairing people, he had an indescribable temperament that seemed to be out of place in his surroundings.
Even though the enemies in front of him were dense and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, he still had no fear, as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard.
Upon seeing Tang Zhen’s performance, the enemies became even more nervous. They subconsciously tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
Xiao Wu and the dwarf followed closely behind Tang Zhen. They were wearing full sets of armor, holding magically modified pistols in their hands, coldly watching the enemy in front of them.
Behind the three of them were nearly a hundred desperators.
They were wearing the same armor, with sabers at their waists and magically modified pistols in their hands. Their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Tang Zhen’s appearance had already affected his followers.
Even if they were facing an enemy ten times their number, they were still fearless and went straight to meet the enemy.
The dwarf looked at the enemies in front of him with a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he was suppressing endless anger.
Many of these enemies were once his subordinates, but they had defected to someone else’s camp overnight.
Dwarves would never forgive traitors, because when they chose to be their enemies, they could stab a knife into their hearts at any time.
One should never expect the enemy to be soft-hearted, because both they and the enemy knew that doing so would only lead to a faster death.
In the city of despair, the best way to resolve grudges was to kill the other party.
In fact, even without Tang Zhen’s incident, the dwarf would have encountered a similar scene. This was because the forces formed by this group of desperators had long been eyeing his territory and were trying to snatch it.
The big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the small shrimp. This was how it was in an environment where resources were scarce.
You didn’t want to provoke others, but that didn’t mean that others wouldn’t provoke you. However, when you felt that you were still safe, there might already be hunters who had their eyes on you.
If this had really happened, then his end would not have been any better than now.
On the contrary, after following Tang Zhen, not only could he keep his life, but he could even have greater power than before.
There was no need to hesitate about what to choose.
Xiao Wu, who was standing next to Tang Zhen, had an extremely calm expression. Surprisingly, she was somewhat similar to Tang Zhen.
Although he had never joined any desperate gang, he had seen the cruel killing scene more than once.
Now that he had chosen to follow Tang Zhen and join his faction, he had no choice but to face such a situation.
The killing on the battlefield was the cruelest. There was no distinction between men, women, old, and young. When you picked up a knife to cut people, you had to be prepared to be cut.
Xiao Wu originally thought that she would be so scared that she would tremble all over, unable to even move her feet.
However, when the moment came, she suddenly realized that she was unusually calm.
The fear that she thought would fill her heart didn’t appear. Instead, after killing a few despaired people with the modified pistol, she actually felt excitement and desire that erupted from her bones.
After sensing this kind of abnormal mood, Xiao Wu felt somewhat incredulous.
However, the feeling at this moment made her suddenly realize that she was not unfamiliar with this kind of fighting. In fact, she even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
A hidden memory in her body seemed to be slowly awakening at this moment, causing her eyes to gradually turn cold.
As Tang Zhen’s group continued to advance, the distance between the two parties was less than a hundred meters. The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
As if unable to bear the tense atmosphere, a despaired person who had once followed the dwarf in the nearby alley roared and threw the javelin in his hand.
He looked at the dwarf with eyes full of killing intent. He was also the target of the spear.
At times, traitors were even more brutal than their enemies. They liked to deal with their former companions in brutal ways to hide their guilt and prove that they were not wrong.
“Damned trash!”
Seeing this, the enemy leader cursed in anger and then gave the order to attack.
In such a situation, killing was inevitable.
The shield-wielding despair let out a furious roar and started to advance towards Tang Zhen’s group. He was like a moving city wall, blocking off the street.
The despairing people in the streets also rushed out at this moment, trying to block the Tang town’s retreat.
The main street, which was dozens of meters wide, was suddenly in chaos. There were moving figures everywhere, and the sound of killing could be heard.
The desperators behind the shield wall threw out all kinds of throwing weapons in their hands. Even though there was a distance between them, some of the weapons fell down halfway.
It seemed like this was the only way to relieve the pressure in their hearts and at the same time, stop Tang Zhen’s group from approaching.
The armors on Tang Zhen and the others, as well as the sabers and modified handguns in their hands, could now be clearly seen.
Looking at the black muzzles, they desperately widened their eyes, trying to avoid the bullets.
The desperators at the back were the elite members of the gang. Most of them were wearing armor and had sharp knives and guns in their hands.
After the distance between the two sides closed, they would rush out from behind the shield wall and engage in close combat with Tang Zhen’s group.
Looking at their formation, it was obvious that they had used this formation more than once. Their cooperation with each other was also very tacit.
When the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, a signal to charge was heard. The enemies were like a Black Tide as they surrounded Tang Zhen’s group.
Concentrated gunfire rang out at this moment, reverberating on the streets.
