"alert!"
With Lin Xue's shout, the people cooking on the first floor all picked up their weapons, leaving only Yao Yao staring at the food in the pot.
"Wow, I didn't expect these people to be so wary!"
There were twenty or thirty people standing outside the courtyard gate, each holding a weapon.
They might use a wooden stick or a stone axe; those without weapons would hold a stone in their hand.
"Stop! Take one more step and I'm about to shoot an arrow!"
The moment Lin Xue mentioned being on guard, Lao Mo rushed to the second floor, grabbed his bow and arrow, and aimed it at the door.
"Boss, these people have bows and arrows!"
The crowd, who had originally intended to rush in, immediately stopped and looked up at the small two-story building in front of them.
There were two people standing there, one holding a dagger and the other holding a bow and arrow.
"What's there to be afraid of? How many arrows does he have?"
"Once he's fired all those arrows, he'll have no choice but to surrender!"
The man called "boss" looked at the dagger in Lin Xue's hand, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Brothers, charge!"
After the leader finished speaking, he took a step back, but pushed his underlings out of the way.
"Charge!"
Since he had already been pushed out by his own incompetent boss, the underling had no reason to back down and could only grit his teeth and squeeze into the yard.
"Old Mo, fire the arrows!"
Lin Xue waved her hand down, and Old Mo's arrow flew out.
These arrows were made from wood that their team had painstakingly cut from the mutated plants.
Once the mutated plants in the apocalypse die, they lose their original power. They went to great lengths to find suitable wood to make arrows.
There are only about 30 arrows in this quiver, but that should be enough to deal with the people downstairs.
With Lao Mo watching over things on the second floor, Lin Xue went down to the first floor and joined the others on the first floor in attacking the people who rushed in through the door.
"ah!"
"Holy crap, I've been shot!"
The sounds of people being shot by arrows and wailing could be heard continuously in the courtyard.
Then came the sounds of various battles.
Fortunately, we have Lin Xue as a powerful weapon, along with the reckless fighting style of the three brothers, including the eldest brother.
Even though there were more people on the other side, they still couldn't break into the house.
In the end, he was beaten out of the courtyard by Lin Xue and others.
Those who were injured also dragged their wounds and retreated in a panic.
"Looks like I underestimated you. You're lucky this time, brothers, let's retreat!"
The leader, who had always stayed behind his brothers, realized that his side was no match for them and wanted to retreat.
"Wait!"
Lin Xue, holding the snow-stained dagger, stood at the courtyard gate watching the group of people.
At this point, they were either injured or maimed, with only a few of those protecting their leader remaining unharmed.
Two people on our side also sustained minor injuries, but the severity of the injuries from being hit by the stones is not yet apparent.
"What else do you want? Do you want to fight us to the death?"
"Don't forget we outnumber you, and you've run out of arrows, haven't you?"
When the leader saw Lin Xue call out to them, his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any sign of weakness on the surface.
"Give us back our arrows, and while you're at it, reimburse us for our medical expenses!"
Lin Xue pulled an arrow from a dead man, twirled it in her hand a couple of times, and was ready to fire it at any moment.
Using arrows as concealed weapons was not a difficult task for Lin Xue.
"Compensate for medical expenses? You must be joking."
"You injured my people like this, and I haven't even asked you for medical expenses yet. Now you're talking to me about medical expenses?"
The leader was so angry at Lin Xue's words that he laughed. Although their side had suffered more casualties, they still outnumbered the enemy overall.
But he didn't consider that sometimes, when faced with absolute strength, numbers don't really have much of an advantage.
"Old Mo, aim at this boss!"
"I'd like to see whether he can run faster or your arrows can!"
Lin Xue sent a signal to Lao Mo, who was staring down from the second floor, and then looked at the group of people in front of her with a half-smile.
"Roger that, boss. Don't worry, I definitely won't let that old bastard get away!"
Old Mo kept his eyes fixed on the crowd below, his arrows aimed intently at the leader.
"Damn it, who the hell gave me this terrible idea to deal with these guys?"
The leader looked clearly displeased after being threatened like that.
He now desperately wants to find the person who gave him the bad idea and tear them to pieces to vent his anger.
"Pull the arrows out of your bodies and give them back!"
Finally, even with his life threatened, the leader had the wounded man pull out the arrow and throw it on the ground.
Then he took off a cloth bag from his body and threw it on the ground; there were about four or five fruits inside.
"Here you go, all of it!"
"Can we leave now?"
This move was a complete disaster, a double loss.
With so many of them injured or disabled, they now want to find the person who came up with the bad idea.
"roll!"
The leader glanced at Lin Xue, then shouted at the group.
Watching these people scramble away in disgrace, the three of them went and brought back all the arrows and the bag of fruit.
“The rest of you go back to cooking. The three of you, the eldest and the youngest, come with me. Let’s move some big rocks to block the door.”
If we don't block the gate, someone might come over at night.
