After determining the number of the thugs, Lin Xiaoxiao did not hesitate and secretly produced a bow and arrows from her spatial storage.
Because the arrows were specially made for the post-apocalyptic world, she couldn't use them openly.
He could only secretly gather some tree branches and sharpen them into points in the space, intending to use them to deal with the thugs.
As Lin Xiaoxiao observed, she pondered: if this group was planning a robbery, they should have chosen a busy main road instead of this remote, rarely visited mountain.
Could he be a deserter? The thought had barely crossed her mind when she dismissed it.
Look at the way those men look at women—it's like the fierce, greedy eyes of hungry wolves. Where is the integrity and dignity of a soldier? They don't resemble one at all.
Could he be a fugitive? The more Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
This place is remote, deep in the mountains. Even if someone discovers it and manages to report it, in this era of rugged mountain roads and advanced communication, the only way to get around is on foot, waiting for the police to arrive.
It was too late; the criminals had already committed their crimes and fled.
Lin Xiaoxiao finally finished preparing the four branches.
After she slipped out of the space, she carefully put down her basket and moved to the most advantageous position to prepare for the attack.
Even when careful, the area is sparsely populated, and any noise is barely noticeable.
The thugs quickly noticed the sound of something moving.
"who?"
"Who's there?" even the thug closest to Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
After the thug made a sound, the thugs dragging Wang Xue and the others behind him stopped.
They walked towards Lin Xiaoxiao's direction.
Lin Xiaoxiao became even more vigilant. These people were very perceptive, and judging from their reactions, they were cooperating very well.
These are not ordinary criminals; these four individuals also possess a strong awareness of counter-surveillance.
The four people froze instantly, exchanging silent glances, clearly not expecting anyone to appear at this moment.
However, when they saw what was happening before them, their eyes instantly lit up with a look of wild joy.
Because Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward.
Hey! A woman has suddenly appeared!
A thug with a hideous scar on his face grinned, revealing a set of uneven, yellow teeth, and stared greedily at Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
"Hey, this chick's a bit skinny, but her face is really pretty." Another bald thug said, licking his chapped lips.
His eyes were like those of someone appraising a rare treasure. "Let's enjoy it first, then sell it. We'll definitely get a good price for it. The boss is right, fortune favors the bold. We've really hit the jackpot today."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything upon hearing this, but her furrowed brows showed that she was very angry.
But the most important thing right now is to save lives.
Her health has recovered considerably after this period of recuperation, but fighting these scattered villains makes it easy for her to neglect the others.
Moreover, her biggest worry was that these people would take those around them hostage, which would greatly restrict her actions.
The cruelty of the apocalypse made most people indifferent, and Lin Xiaoxiao was mostly indifferent as well.
However, as long as her own life is not in danger, she is willing to lend a helping hand to others, especially Li Mei and Wang Xue, with whom she gets along very well.
If she were to turn and leave now, the women here would be doomed. She couldn't bear to stand by and watch them die.
The bandits looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with different expressions.
When Li Mei saw someone coming, her eyes lit up with surprise.
But when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming alone, the joy in her eyes faded. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then, as if she had made a great decision, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, hurry up, let's go home!"
Lin Xiaoxiao knows kung fu, but the person she subdued on the train was just an ordinary person. Now there are four people here, and they all look like they've trained in martial arts.
Lin Xiaoxiao alone definitely can't manage.
She dared not ask them to find the people in the mountains. If the villains knew there were many people here, they might kill them to silence them and then escape quickly.
Li Mei trusted Lin Xiaoxiao and believed that she understood why she wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to secretly call someone.
As soon as Li Mei finished shouting, someone kicked her, and not only that, but also slapped her. Li Mei screamed in pain.
The other two exchanged a glance and immediately rushed towards Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Run? Do you think you can run?"
"Let's get this straight, I'll have a go at this woman first!" He finished speaking and gave Lin Xiaoxiao an extremely lewd look.
The people behind her, whether they were educated youth or aunties, all urged Lin Xiaoxiao to run faster.
They also felt that Lin Xiaoxiao was incapable of saving lives.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened when she met the thugs' gaze; she wouldn't let these villains off easily.
"You guys? You're not even enough for me to warm up."
She swiftly pulled a sharp wooden stick from behind her back and nocked an arrow.
Everyone was stunned when they saw her take out a sharp, thin wooden stick. Why didn't Lin Xiaoxiao run away quickly? Was she trying to get rid of people with that broken stick first?
Are you kidding me? Even if Lin Xiaoxiao has excellent aim, what can a sharp branch do? Subdue someone?
The two sleazy men who were about to rush over also saw the tree branch. They slowed down and chuckled.
"Little wench, you think you can use this little wooden stick to deal with us?"
Another thug laughed upon hearing this: "This guy not only isn't running away, but he's going to use this against us?"
"He looks pretty good, but it's a pity he's an idiot, haha..."
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed not to hear, remaining expressionless as she drew the bow tighter, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Then, with a "whoosh," an arrow shot out like lightning towards the nearest thug, striking his wrist precisely.
This small wooden stick, which everyone looked down upon, pierced through my wrist, instantly drawing blood.
The thug screamed, and the knife in his hand clattered to the ground.
The bald thug standing behind the other saw his partner's miserable state, paused for a moment, and then immediately ran towards Lin Xiaoxiao with his knife in hand.
"Brothers, go! Grab this brat!" the bald thug roared.
With a "whoosh," the second small wooden stick shot out, piercing the wrist of the gangster.
"ah....."
The bald thug screamed in agony, writhing on the floor from the pain of his wrist being pierced.
The other two thugs, realizing something was wrong, also brandished their weapons and pounced on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao showed no fear and continued to shoot out the "arrows" in her hand.
