Chapter 151: Snatch and Counterattack
More than thirty skinny men and women rushed out.
They were dressed in rags, with clothes and trousers that barely covered their bodies.
It was covered with unknown filth and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
Several people were barefoot, with traces of frostbite on their hands and faces.
Worse still, some people's toes were frozen and missing.
A group of people swarmed towards the horseshoe field.
They grabbed the dug out horse hooves and stuffed them into their mouths, not caring whether they were dirty or not.
More than thirty people had their mouths full of dirt and their eyes were filled with madness and fearlessness of death.
It seems that as long as he can give them food, it is worth being beaten to death.
"Ah, I'll kill you for stealing our food."
Someone reacted and raised the tools in his hands to take a hard shot.
Those who were trying to grab the food ignored the hoes and other tools hitting them, and lay on the ground, holding on to the horse's hooves.
"You are a bunch of beasts."
Seeing that the group of people still refused to let go, some people dropped the tools in their hands and started to fight with those who were trying to grab the horseshoes with roars.
On Gu Luan and Jiang Xian's side, several people also ran over and tried to snatch their horse hooves.
The two reacted quickly and dodged.
Their horse hooves were not thrown on the ground like others, but were put in a woven bag.
The moment someone ran over, Jiang Xian grabbed the pocket.
Gu Luan swung the hoe in his hand and hit the hands and body of the person who came.
After being beaten, the few people who wanted to snatch Gu Luan's horse hooves looked ferocious and rushed forward again without thinking.
Seeing these people's vicious looks, Gu Luan simply showed no mercy.
She took a hoe and smashed one of the men's arms.
A tearing scream came from that person's mouth.
Gu Luan’s brutality frightened the remaining people.
Seeing that Gu Luan was not willing to take any tough measures, these people simply changed their approach.
"Good girl, we haven't eaten for a long time. Please have mercy on us and give us something to eat!"
One woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she acted pitiful and weak.
Unfortunately, the fierce look in her eyes betrayed her.
Gu Luan snorted and waved the hoe in his hand again to cooperate with Jiang Xian.
The two of them beat each man with a hoe, and the ones they beat ran away in shame, not daring to provoke Gu Luan and Jiang Xian again.
They fled cursing and didn't dare to stay any longer.
It is a pipe dream for more than 30 people to want to rob 300 people.
The reason we were able to succeed was because everyone was so focused on digging the horse's hooves that they didn't react in time.
By the time they react, these few people will no longer be a concern.
In the end, more than thirty people were beaten up and thrown aside.
"Please let us go. We are so hungry that we can't stand it anymore, so we steal your things."
More than thirty people begged for mercy, hoping that this group of people would let them go.
More than three hundred people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They had no intention of killing these people, they just wanted to drive them away.
Gu Luan frowned slightly, thinking that they were still too soft-hearted.
She didn't kill those people just now, but each of them had their hands broken by her and Jiang Xian.
Even if those people are alive, it's actually not much different from being dead.
There was murderous intent in the eyes of these people, and it was obvious that they were not good people.
If we let the tiger go back to the mountains without teaching them a lesson, Xia Tian and others will definitely be the ones who get into trouble in the end.
In the crowd, several men were making eye contact.
There was a faint scarlet in their eyes, which was the red color that came from eating human flesh.
"Rob!"
A man pulled out a gun from his body and shot Xia Tian and the others directly.
When the gunshots rang out, the thirty or so people begging for mercy rushed over quickly, grabbed the horse hooves and stuffed them into their clothes.
The man with the gun fired again, ruthlessly trying to kill one more person.
Jiang Xian pointed his gun at the man and shot him directly in the head.
The man holding the gun had a dazed look in his eyes and looked at Jiang Xian in disbelief.
What a mistake, they also have guns!
"Run, they have guns."
Upon learning that Jiang Xian also had a gun, more than 30 people grabbed the stolen horse hooves and fled quickly.
They just tried to make sure they didn't have guns before proceeding to the next step of robbery.
Why did another gun appear?
Seeing that these people were about to escape after killing someone, Xia Tian picked up the pistol on the ground and shot indiscriminately.
She had only seen people shooting guns on TV, but she couldn't do it herself.
When the gunshots rang out, Xia Tian was actually also afraid.
Her hands were sore from the shock, but she didn't give up.
After she had used up all her bullets, she actually killed one of them.
"Woo woo woo, these damn people."
Seeing that someone had died on their side, some people burst into tears.
There is the venting of feeling relieved after surviving a disaster, as well as the fear of the end of the world.
Gu Luan walked over and looked at Xia Tian's palm. "Are you okay?"
Xia Tian threw away the empty gun, trembling with fear after realizing it belatedly, "I'm fine."
“It’s the end of the world now.”
Gu Luan said it lightly, and he believed that Xia Tian understood.
Xia Tian smiled bitterly.
Yes, it’s the end of the world now, why are they being so soft-hearted?
Just because those people were as destitute as they were, did they think they were victims just like them?
This robbery and death taught them a lot.
Being soft-hearted will only cost lives in the end times!
The sound of footsteps was heard again. Everyone stopped crying and looked into the distance like frightened birds.
Xia Tian squatted down, picked up the pistol without bullets, and pointed it in the direction where the footsteps came from.
She thought that group of people had returned.
"Not them."
Jiang Xian heard the difference in the footsteps, looked over, and a hint of green appeared in his eyes.
More than a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms approached from far away.
Seeing them, the nervous crowd could no longer hold back, "It's the military comrades, are they here to save us?"
"Sister, she's a soldier!"
Xia Luoluo walked up to Xia Tian, her eyes red with excitement.
Chinese soldiers will always be the pillars of support in the hearts of the people.
With them, the country and home exist!
"They are soldiers from the official base."
Jiang Xian said with certainty.
Gu Luan was a little surprised, "They have come here already?"
Although it was only two or three days, Gu Luan really didn't expect that they would catch up.
After all, the plague is spreading in the base, and we must stay and be quarantined.
Something must have happened to force them to leave.
As they were talking, a dozen soldiers came over.
Seeing more than 300 people, the leading soldier saluted and said, "Hello comrades, we are soldiers from the Guangshi base. Our base is stationed not far away. If you are willing, you can go with us."
"We do. We very much do."
Everyone said in unison.
They understand the hardships of survival outside, and who wouldn't want to enter the base?
"Can we dig up the horseshoe before we go?"
Some people couldn't help but ask softly, unwilling to leave.
Xia Tian glanced at Gu Luan, as if asking for her opinion.
Gu Luan smiled and nodded.
It was impossible for them to dig it all up, and Gu Luan never thought of getting dozens of acres of horseshoes by relying on them alone.
