Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 42. City of Tomorrow (8)

[Extra 42. City of Tomorrow (8)]

“Are you scared?” Joyner turned back and asked Harris.

“Don’t be afraid!”

The child shook his head, his expression full of determination. The corners of his eyes were naturally droopy, and his eyes seemed listless, but his pupils were like fish eyes when illuminated by the firelight.

“You will follow me from now on, do you understand?” Joyner said softly, seemingly satisfied with the child’s answer, and her attitude was much better than that of others.

The child looked at Joyner and nodded again.

“Listen, this matter is very important. I will drive the car under the city wall in a while, and then go to the top of the city to open the door. You just hide in this car and don’t let anyone come near. No one except me comes near here. . Just kill him, understand?”

“Kill them directly?”

“Yes, don’t hesitate, shoot him immediately

…” Harris repeated lightly, brushing his face. There was a hint of surprise, and then he nodded heavily.

Joyner placed the collected crossbow arrows next to Harris and taught him how to shoot. These crossbow arrows are well made and look like standard weapons at first glance. The arrowheads are made of heavy metal and can work wonders in covert combat.

Moreover, the crossbow is very simple to use and does not require much strength. Even a seven or eight-year-old boy can use it.

“Can you do it?” Joyner asked finally.

Seeing Harris’s firm nod, Joyner finally felt relieved. This could be said to be the first time she asked for other people’s opinions. Joyner always thinks highly of herself and rarely takes others seriously.

As for Harris, she felt slightly soft-hearted.

Joyner held the steering wheel and whispered, “I will never break my promise. I will definitely send you to the Hidden Sand Castle today.”

Harris held the crossbow tightly in his hand and gestured a few times. Hearing I couldn’t hold back these words for a moment, and tears suddenly flowed out.

He had lost his family since he was a child and lived outside the home. Later, he was caught by a group of people and abused by countless people, which made him suffer a lot. This child, who was only seven or eight years old, was physically thin and was tortured to a state of disgrace. He was already dead inside and had no hope of survival. He lived in numbness every day.

Until Joyner appeared and destroyed the bandits with the power of thunder, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart again.

Joyner’s gentle attitude also made him feel a different kind of warmth. With such a powerful person protecting him, what else should he be afraid of?

So for a moment, he couldn’t hold it in any longer, and tears actually flowed out.

But he didn’t speak, just lowered his head in silence. Years of torture have made him extremely taciturn, and he no longer knows how to communicate normally with others.

“Okay, you’re a man, why are you crying?”

Joyner’s tone was gentle, and the soft part of her heart was touched.

For several days, she traveled alone in the ruined world, with no relatives or friends, and no human contemporaries with her. Only with killing as a companion can he survive in the hell of this world.

The only people he interacts with are probably these refugees.

Although these people don’t know their origins and life experiences, they are her kind and the people who know her best.

It can be seen from this that Joyner’s past sadness and loneliness, and her arrogance, made her always maintain a vague sense of distance from everyone in the world.

this child named Harris had helped her fight off mutant monsters, and was the first person willing to take up arms to protect everyone. This child has a smart and clever character, and she likes him very much.

In Joyner’s heart, she actually has a feeling of closeness to Harris as her own child.

“Okay, let’s go!”

As the truck’s headlights were all turned on, beams of light shone straight ahead.

Joyner stepped on the accelerator pedal hard, and the steel behemoth let out a long, low roar, its body trembled, and it rushed towards the huge city gate.

After calm calculations, Joyner had already estimated the driving distance and the impact of the vehicle. Even if several rows of resisting horses closed up a few hundred meters away, the truck’s powerful kinetic impact would definitely break through the defense line.

But as the fat man said, it seems that the heavy city gate is impossible to break through, and someone must open it in advance.

This is an extremely dangerous move!

If everything goes well, she will send all these refugees into the city. If she failed, she would have to face all the guards and go on a killing spree again.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the people in the opposite camp were not sure what happened, and the horses were not completely closed. The thugs could not see the corpses in the distance clearly, so they just hurried over here and used torches to investigate. one time.

By the time they heard the roar of the engine and saw the headlights shining on the front of the car, it was too late to escape.

The steel monster roared and broke through several roadblocks, and then crossed the trench. The figures of a dozen thugs were instantly submerged in the rising dust.

Some people did not even utter a scream and were unable to escape and were directly hit to death. Others, although they avoided the car, rolled and crawled aside in fear.

It wasn’t until the thick dust that covered the sky dispersed that they saw that the truck had stopped under the city gate.

The guards from several nearby small camps all ran out, but they were still confused for a while.

“No, it’s a trespassing!”

“Alarm! Alert – someone has trespassed!”

Someone in the mob kept shouting, and the voices came and went. The scene was extremely chaotic.

At this time, Lao Bai had a serious expression and was sitting in the camp bargaining with the head guard.

With some sweet talk outside, he had convinced the head guard that by seizing the truck and secretly killing Joyner, they could embezzle the slaves in that truck and make a fortune.

Lao Bai knew that although he was responsible for the final sale of the stolen goods, he also concealed the fact that there were several barrels of snake meat in the car. To put it bluntly, this matter was equivalent to letting him go without passing the inspection and killing one of his own. Without the secret assistance of the guard leader, he would never have been able to do it alone.

So Lao Bai told the truth and promised to give half of the money from the slave trade as reward if the two cooperated.

Unexpectedly, this proposal was immediately opposed by the guard leader. Because the guard leader believed that he and his men had done most of the dirty work, and that once anyone was held accountable, he would have to bear all the risks. Therefore, he felt that it was unfair to divide the property half and half, and he should take the big share.

This kind of request is to raise the price on the spot and pay back the money on the spot. Naturally, Lao Bai felt very unhappy.

But then he thought about it, after all, it was only half of the proceeds from the slave trade, so there was no need to add extraneous matters to it, so it was better to just give it.
