Chapter 72 Death or life, no choice!
Screams came one after another, and even loud curses continued to sound.
Lin Yue's hand almost reflexively touched the steel repeater that had just been placed on the table, and he quickly stood up.
There is no doubt that these screams and curses come from humans.
And, judging from these voices, it seems that it’s not just one person!
He took a deep breath, took out the ladder, climbed to the roof almost as fast as he could, set up the crossbow and pulled the string.
His first reaction to this kind of thing was not to go out and see what happened, but...
fighting!
It's nearly two hours' walk from the nearest shelter. Who would come all the way to say hello to him?
What is the scariest thing in another world?
It's not a mutated creature, nor is it hungry or thirsty.
But human beings themselves.
In such an extreme environment, the dark side of human nature will be extremely magnified - when there are no legal and moral constraints, when there is a lack of water and food, and even when there are various desires...
Wandering survivors, perhaps more appropriately called "predators", appeared naturally.
These people are dangerous.
Lin Yue remembered what Curran and the others had said before in the secret realm under the hotel under Tokyo Tower.
What they usually do is to wander around in different worlds. When they encounter a single survivor, they will snatch away all their belongings, and then maim or kill the survivor directly!
Even if they are not killed, in this alien world where there is basically no medicine and mutant creatures are everywhere, the injured survivors will not be able to wait until night comes.
Predators who choose this path do not want to make things easier for others from the beginning. They do not want to gain through hard work and wisdom, but plunder and attack.
Wounding and killing people is their specialty.
Lin Yue fixed his position on the roof, used his shield as a support, and after fixing the steel repeater, he gently placed his finger on the trigger!
"Xiaobai, stay alert!"
"Puff, puff, puff!" Xiaobai hid his figure by the greenhouse and shouted in the other direction.
Lin Yue turned at the same time, and the scope was pointed in that direction.
Indeed, the yelling and screaming came from this direction.
But...what are they doing?
If he is a plunderer, he will either rescue his companions, go up the wall regardless of his companions, or find a way to break in.
After all, for the plunderers, the temptation within this city wall is simply not too great.
Those who have the most abundant resources are not safe.
In the group, his name has become a symbol, and the meaning it represents is self-evident.
Even in other groups, his name may have spread.
Although this wall can bring him some sense of security, it also makes people who have seen this wall understand that there is something worth protecting inside.
"What, you gave up and climbed over?" Lin Yue waited for a while, but still didn't see anyone climbing up over there or anything, but the curses and screams continued.
"Pfft!" Xiaobai suddenly shouted again in the direction of the door.
Lin Yue immediately turned around and saw a head peeking out from the door!
Good guy, making an attack in the east and attacking in the west?
This group of people is quite tactical. How many are there?
Lin Yue immediately adjusted his posture and at the same time aimed the steel repeater at the strong man with yellow hair who had already put one leg on the stone door.
Whoosh!
The crossbow arrows burst out, and a long chant suddenly sounded!
Snapped!
The crossbow arrow hit the stone wall a few centimeters away from the man's legs, even leaving a white spot on the wall, and several stone fragments collapsed due to the arrow!
The strong man with yellow hair was stunned for a moment, but immediately pointed to his position and started shouting. Although Lin Yue couldn't understand what the guy was talking about, he guessed that this was probably a signal to his companions.
He ignored this, the crossbow string was stretched again, and the second arrow suddenly shot out!
This time, it hit exactly the same spot as before, no difference at all!
Lin Yue did this because he wanted to tell the other party a very simple thing.
This is a warning.
If he dares to continue making any moves, the next arrow will depend on his movements and will hit his legs, abdomen, heart, or head!
Within fifty meters, Lin Yue could ensure that his crossbow arrow would not deviate by more than two centimeters.
Either get out or die!
Obviously, the other party understood this fact instantly after two arrows, muttered, and immediately retracted from the door.
"Xiaobai, stay vigilant!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Yue changed positions and pulled up the crossbow string again.
He couldn't let down his guard yet.
There are currently three people on the other side.
One seemed to have fallen into the trap he set, while the other was cursing and yelling near that person, and the third was the one who just wanted to break through the wall through the gate.
But there may be a fourth or fifth person...
He took a deep breath.
He has never done anything like killing people.
In this world, there is no law or any moral restraint that prevents him from doing this.
Of course, it is important to maintain a normal person's thinking.
But when his life was threatened and he had the ability to kill the opponent, he had no choice at all.
Moreover, in the process of surviving the apocalypse for more than ten days, he experienced life and death several times, and his mentality was fundamentally different from when he first arrived!
If he pities this kind of person, will this kind of person pity him?
Infighting?
Lin Yue didn't want to fight within himself at all.
He also wants all mankind to unite and help each other survive.
After all, nearly half of the entire human race has been lost. If the remaining group of people continue to fight among themselves, the countdown to human extinction will also begin.
Maybe there is no need for any disaster at all, human beings will just kill themselves.
But like these predators, they don't think so.
They also forced Lin Yue to fight back!
At this moment, the screams and curses continued.
They haven't left yet, they still want to rush to the shelter and kill him!
Lin Yue paid full attention to his surroundings.
"Puff! Puff!"
At this moment, Xiao Bai issued a warning again. Lin Yue followed the direction Xiao Bai was staring at and pointed the scope at the wall.
In the scope, a bunch of yellow hair emerged from the wall, holding something in his hand, and then quickly retracted it.
Still not giving up?
Moreover, what Huang Mao just took out...
bow!
Lin Yue reacted almost instantly and raised his shield to protect his upper body. At the same time, he took out two sheepskins from the storage space and pasted them on his head. Only the steel repeater was exposed, while still aiming at the location of the yellow hair.
The sound of a bowstring suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of arrows cutting the air. In almost less than a second, Lin Yue felt that something had penetrated into the thick two layers of sheepskin!
However, it seems that the arrow missed its target and did not hit him at all.
But Lin Yue decided to use the trick, and he suddenly screamed in an extremely exaggerated voice!
"Puff! Puff!!"
Just as Xiaobai screamed in worry, in Lin Yue's sight, the figure of the strong man with yellow hair also appeared on the wall.
Whoosh!!
The crossbow arrows burst out like a life-threatening silver snake!
