My players are so fierce

Chapter 1379 1377. Separation of life and death

At the same time that the top military commander in the Kavhoka region died in an "accidental fire", a huge wave of chaos was sweeping through the city of Burnie.

No one can tell what the cause of this chaos was, but it must be related to something that happened on a certain street in the old city. In short, when several houses in the old city were set on fire, the fire that soared into the sky The black smoke and fire seemed to symbolize that the long-suppressed chaos could no longer be stopped.

Especially those who lost everything in the investment crisis, they urgently need a window of release.

As a result, everything related to the Misty Sea Trading Company suffered. The scammer's building had been burned down, but the people who supplied them were still in the city.

At first, gang members approached several large chambers of commerce that had close ties with trading companies in an attempt to extort some money. However, this wrong behavior soon attracted imitations. The frustrated people entrenched in the port area saw those gang members with their own eyes. The scene of blowing open the door of the chamber of commerce and moving things inside awakened some dark desire in their hearts.

When the first hungry, blinded person had the courage to join the "zero-yuan shopping" and successfully snatched back food and a handful of coins, the situation got out of hand.

In just one morning, most of the shops in several commercial streets in the port area were "patronized" by angry crowds.

The clerks didn't dare to resist at all. If they disobeyed the law at all, they would be dragged out and beaten up by the angry crowd. This kind of crime of passion was not done lightly or seriously, and the herd mentality of not punishing the law made the streets Soon there was blood.

When the first businessman with a gun opened fire to defend his property, the zero-yuan purchase quickly developed into a riot, and started from the port area and spread to the entire city of Burnie.

The unlucky little businessman Alyosha was also involved.

He really didn't want to. After witnessing Artyom's fall and the fire that night, he planned to leave the city, but the result of a day's delay in collecting and burying poor Artyom's body meant that he could leave even if he wanted to. No more.

He huddled on the street corner and trembled, watching those beast-like people roaring and smashing open a bakery with bricks. He saw those people rush in and beat up the honest shop owner, and then robbed all the money on the counter. , and homeless people rushed in and plundered all the freshly baked bread.

The guy was still a bit "chivalrous" and rushed out with a lot of fragrant bread instead of eating it himself. Instead, he gave it to the hungry little homeless people on the street who couldn't walk.

It sounds very darkly humorous.

Because Alyosha had been in a state of depression recently, the guy forced him into having three fragrant croissants.

It is precisely because of this identity that Alyosha escaped being tortured by the mob. After all, no matter how angry and crazy a person is, he will never be like a homeless man on the street.

But the chaos continues.

The small businessman did not dare to go anywhere and could only hide on the street. While eating the bread with a shiver, he watched those usually decent people join the plundering battlefield under the influence of some kind of force. There are also people taking advantage of the chaos to do bad things.

He saw a few bastards burst into the grocery store that had been looted, dragging a crying young girl out and taking her to a nearby alley.

The small businessman recognized those bastards as Artyom's former "brothers."

Of course he knew what these guys wanted to do, and the simple sense of justice in his heart made him stand up, but the cowardice of the little guy prevented him from stepping forward. As a result, when he was in a dilemma, a sudden gunshot made Alyosha shrink back suddenly. neck.

He glanced to the side and saw a strong servant holding a shotgun being dragged off the speeding carriage. The guy screamed a few times and then disappeared, and the luxurious carriage was overturned by the combined efforts of everyone.

Amid the screams of women and children, the belongings scattered in the carriage were robbed, and there were still people who were eager to touch the young woman with the child.

"Fuck! What kind of world is this riding on a horse!"

Alyosha couldn't stand it anymore.

He rushed over and picked up the bloody shotgun, pointed at the others and shouted. He didn't even know what he was shouting, but facing the black muzzle of the gun, the people who had already robbed things finally stopped. I plan to encounter this "hard problem".

They dispersed and followed the moving crowd to find new targets, leaving only a dismantled carriage and the disheveled lady and her frightened child.

"Thank you"

The lady said something in shock, but Alyosha ignored her and rushed into the alley next to him with a gun.

After several gunshots, the small businessman, whose legs were trembling, walked out of the alley with the help of a crying young girl. He was once a good hunter and forest ranger, and his fingers were trembling now. No matter what, he didn't do anything. Way to put the bullet into the chamber of the gun.

But he knew he couldn't stay here.

"Follow me."

He said in a weak tone to the lady who was holding her child and crying silently on the street:

"I know there is a safe place. It's upstairs opposite. No one will go there. I hid there for several days and didn't pick it up! The more money you carry with you at this time, the more dangerous you are! Damn it! Put that Leave the damn money behind!

Throw away all the luxurious decorations on your body. Haven't we suffered enough from it? "

Amid the uncontrollable roar of the little businessman, the lady who was obviously of noble birth gritted her teeth and followed Alyosha's instructions to take off her bracelets, rings and necklace and throw them aside.

But she still stubbornly took something from the broken carriage and hid it in her bra, picked up the child, threw away the high heels, and limped to a safe place with the small businessman and the girl from the grocery store.

On the top of the building where Artyom jumped, it was as unnoticed as before.

But from here you can indeed clearly see the situation in the entire port area. Looking towards the city, you can see that the fire in the old city connected to the port area is still spreading. The dark smoke is rising as if the entire city has been dragged in. In hell.

This place has not been attacked by the enemy, and no natural disasters have occurred, but its chaos at this time is no different from that of a battlefield.

No small businessman needs to guess that this chaos will soon spread to the entire city, until those who are crazy about losing everything calm down completely, leaving only a fragmented city and a group of fragmented souls.

money!

It's all about money.

Those ordinary people who had been lucky enough not to participate in the investment of the Misty Sea Trading Company were no longer lucky enough to escape the chaos that followed. The despair of a group of people eventually turned into a disaster that affected the entire city.

If this was truly a trial, it was climaxing at this point.

"Maybe we should go out of town?"

The small businessman leaned on his gun and looked blankly at this city that he once thought was a prosperous place. He no longer knew what to do. The rescued girl beside him just silently pulled and tore herself apart. She had torn clothes and lowered her head in tears, but the lady who was rescued had an idea.

She whispered:

"You can't go out of the city at this time!"

"Um?"

Alyosha looked back at her in surprise, and heard the lady whisper:

"My children and I just came back from outside the city this morning. There is already chaos outside the city, and it is happening faster than in the city. There are no security guards there. Normally, the manor owners and minor nobles rule their respective territories, but they Most of them were victims of the Misty Sea Trading Company's scam, and they were unable to suppress the riots of the people under their command.

my husband

Oh, may he survive the chaos of that angry mob. "

"Then there's nowhere to go."

The small businessman was desperate.

He looked at the two pieces of bread left in his arms and sighed:

"With the chaos in the city right now, we're going to starve to death here."

"No, there is one last chance."

The lady stood up, walked to Alyosha and whispered:

"There is a boat in the port, can you drive it?"

"I can...but only in small boats."

The small businessman's eyes lit up and he said:

"You mean all the way out along the Cadman River?"

"Yes! If everything goes well, it only takes one day for us to reach the Transian border and go to Bataxin City! My father runs the Chamber of Commerce there. As long as we get there, we will be safe."

The lady clenched her fists and said:

"But it's impossible to travel this distance with a small boat. We need a bigger boat."

"I know a place with a boat like this."

The crying grocery store girl also wiped away her tears and said:

"My family has a small boat specially designed to transport goods. I can also help. There should be workers on the dock."

"Then take a rest and then go."

Alyosha gritted his teeth and distributed the bread in his arms to the two ladies who were suffering from the same problem. He had just eaten one and witnessed the bloody riot, which made him not too hungry. After the three of them rested for twenty minutes, they He left here and headed towards the port.

The journey went quite smoothly, after all, most of the people here went to participate in the free zero-yuan shopping event. However, when they arrived at the port, the three of them unexpectedly met someone who no one could have imagined.

"Ivankov!!! Bullshit!"

When the little businessman turned the corner and saw that familiar figure, he didn't know where the anger came from. He rushed out grabbing the shotgun and raised his hand a few steps away from Ivan. Taking aim with his shotgun, he shouted:

"Look at what this city looks like now! It's all your doing!"

"Oh? So angry, it seems he is my client. Sorry, sir, I know you are angry, but please allow me to finish replying to this message before you shoot me in the head."

Ivankov looked back in surprise at the young man behind him who was dressed like a beggar. He had no image of this person in his mind, so he should be a small customer, but he didn't care, as if he didn't see the man pointing at his head. instead of using the shotgun, he lowered his head and looked at the activated computing orb in his hand and said:

"I have returned to Burnie City as you requested. Everyone, tell me! Where are Anna and the children? What do you need me to do to let them go?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Follow this map, and when you get to the place, someone will naturally take over the rest."

A cold voice sounded from the calculation orb and said:

"Ms. Anna is really a qualified mother. Even in this situation, she has to protect two crying children. This kind of precious motherhood is really touching. Unfortunately, she is not smart enough to think that in this situation You shameless liar can still save her.

It seems that your status in her heart is not low. You are a dirty liar who has no clue about your sister-in-law.

Forty-five minutes!

This is your last chance!

If that time has not yet arrived, then we will select a suitable cemetery for Ms. Anna and her two children.

That’s all. "

"beep"

The calculation orb paused its operation, and Ivankov, who looked calm, clasped his fingers. He looked back at the equally astonished young businessman Alyosha. He had heard the sound in the orb just now.

"I came back in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Now I need a weapon to save my cousin and two nieces, who are my last relatives."

Ivan said sincerely to the small businessman:

"The gun in your hand, the bullets in your arms and this tattered clothes! I want them all, just give me a price."

"Are you crazy?"

The little businessman lowered his weapon and whispered:

"Don't you know who the people in this city want to kill the most right now? How dare you come back here at this time? God, you must have gone crazy."

"I know that when I insisted on leaving the safe king's suite in Booty Bay, my companions told me that it was basically impossible for me to come back alive after leaving. My two bosses cherished my life and even treated me A ban was imposed.

I know they want to protect me.

But there are always some things that no one can give up, even if you think of a heinous person like me. "

Ivankov took off his fine-textured coat and threw it to Alyosha, gesturing for him to exchange the tattered clothes. He took out a golden card from his pocket and threw it at Alyosha's feet, saying :

"Take this card and go to Booty Bay. Someone will receive you and give you a generous reward! You can also use my yacht equipped with a gold-burning engine. It only takes a few hours to drive it to cross the card. The frontier of Vhoka reaches Transia.

My advice to you is, don’t come back!

Stay safe, my brother, until the goddess brings her favor here. "

"Huh? What did you say? Who is your brother!"

The little businessman cursed, but Ivankov looked at him with a subtle look and said:

"Stop pretending!

You and I are the same people, and we are all blessed.

That is the glory of Ms. Dutna, and it is also the advice of the God of Wealth. You and I are destined to deal with money in our lives. The difference is that I have become the one hated by everyone. Maybe you can be the one hated by everyone. The one you respect. "

"You are crazy. You have been talking nonsense. If there is really a god controlling all this, it is definitely an evil god!"

The little businessman shouted excitedly, but did not notice Ivankov approaching quietly while speaking.

When he was close enough, the veteran bumped into Alyosha with a violent elbow and pushed the gun in his hand high. A bang of the gunshot caused the bullets to fly behind him, and he was hit by continuous elbow strikes. The little businessman clutched his neck and fell to the ground dizzy.

"You are terrible in all aspects, brother, but it doesn't matter. The brothers and sisters in the Wealth Sanctuary will train you. They can train me, and they can naturally turn you into a more outstanding person."

Ivan grabbed the gun, bent down and took out the bullet bag from the small businessman's arms, and put his rags on his body. Finally, he said a gentlemanly farewell to the two shivering ladies hiding aside. He carried the gun. As if returning to the battlefield against the black disaster, he said to the two ladies:

"Take my brother to the boat, go, don't look back!

This city and Kafhoka are destined to be completely and permanently changed, and it's all by my own hands! This is the most glorious moment in my life, even if it is a role that has been criticized by thousands of people and will be remembered forever.

But that doesn't matter.

Maybe you will be the last person to see me in this world. If you have the opportunity in the future, write an autobiography and describe how the legendary liar Ivankov died in a disaster he concocted, so as to wake up the world.

If you do bad things, there will always be retribution! "

After saying that, this guy was like the protagonist who had finished speaking his lines during the curtain call. He opened his arms to bid farewell to the invisible audience, and then set out on the road to rescue his sister-in-law and niece with a gun.

A few minutes later, as the golden engine started, the small and exquisite yacht also sailed away from the pier in Burnie City. Alyosha, wearing Ivankov's exquisite suit, sat blankly on the stern of the yacht. .

He looked at the strangely shining golden coin in his hand, with runes on it that he couldn't understand.

This was what he found in Ivankov's pocket. It should not be an ordinary gold coin.

"That's the Holy Emblem."

The lady holding the child curled up next to her and whispered:

"A holy emblem that is truly blessed by the gods. Judging from what Mr. Ivankov just said, it should be the holy emblem of Dutna, the goddess of wealth. Something of this level cannot be transferred to others without being driven by fate.

It seems that Mr. Ivankov's story has really come to an end, but that fate has been passed to you. "

"Me? No, no matter in terms of ability or courage, Ivankov and I are worlds apart."

The little businessman whispered:

"I don't have that qualification at all"

"It is said that Mr. Ivankov was just an embarrassed veteran before he became famous."

The grocery store girl who finally escaped was wrapped in a blanket and whispered:

"He was not much better than you at that time. Alyosha, you saved me and Mrs. Vivian. You are already better than many people."

"Yes, this is called 'strange things to live in'."

The wise lady looked at the somewhat honest but not ugly young man with a subtle look.

She was taught by her businessman father to seize every opportunity since she was a child. Suddenly, she realized that it might not be a bad thing for her incompetent husband and her brave but brainless lover to die in the chaos.

Well, this must be a fateful encounter. A "chosen one" suddenly appeared in front of her.

Praise Lady Dutna!

Praise the goddess of wealth.

This may be a hand of fate, but she followed it!
