Chapter 75: An Overabundance of Mother Teresa's Heart?
The elite captain, "Luo Xia," raised his spear, pointing it at the Happiness Home residential area, and roared in a language that Jiang Ming and the others couldn't understand.
"Wuhu!"
More than thirty cavalrymen shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the fields.
next second.
Rumble!
The earth began to tremble slightly.
More than thirty warhorses started moving at the same time, from a slow pace to a trot, and then to a full-speed charge, forming an unstoppable steel torrent that charged towards the modern residential area!
Their target was that neighborhood!
"This...this sounds like a fight has broken out?"
Wang Yang stared in disbelief, his face full of question marks.
On one side are ancient cavalrymen wearing leather armor and carrying spears.
On one side are modern people living in apartment buildings.
This scene looks surreal no matter how you look at it.
"It seems so."
Jiang Ming's voice remained calm. He lowered his body and led the group to hide behind a mound of earth piled up by the wind and sand.
"Let's follow them and see."
In the distance, the student council members, whose dogs were lurking behind, were so frightened by the sight that their legs went weak.
The more timid ones turned and fled towards the dormitory building, fearing they would be discovered by the indigenous cavalry.
Only Wei Yuan, after the initial shock, had a glint of excitement in his eyes.
Fight!
The harder they hit, the better!
It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses!
Jiang Ming ignored the commotion caused by those good-for-nothings behind him.
His gaze was fixed on the charging indigenous cavalry.
The cavalrymen, whose intentions were clearly ill-intentioned, were also spotted in the Xingfu Jiayuan residential community.
The panicked screams could be heard from a great distance.
The entrance to the residential compound was blocked by a retractable iron gate. Several men in security uniforms, holding rubber batons, shouted at the cavalrymen with a fierce but weak expression, seemingly trying to scare them away.
However, what they received in response was a cold spear.
boom!
The lead scout captain, Luo Xia, charged ahead, his warhorse slamming violently into the fragile retractable iron gate without slowing down at all.
With a piercing metallic creak, the entire iron gate was smashed open, along with two unfortunate security guards who were also thrown about ten meters away like broken sacks, their bones broken, and they landed lifeless.
Without the slightest hesitation, the native cavalrymen broke through the gate and surged into the residential area!
Followed by.
A heart-wrenching scream, accompanied by the cries of women and children, rose into the sky from the small concrete jungle.
Arson, murder, looting, and plunder!
Jiang Ming and his group hid behind the mound, watching all of this unfold, their minds blank.
A young man who had just run out of the stairwell was stabbed through the back of the heart by a long spear before he could react. He was thrown high into the air, and blood splattered all over the ground.
A cavalryman dismounted, kicked open the security door of a first-floor apartment, and rushed in with a sinister grin. Soon, the sounds of a woman's desperate cries and furniture being smashed could be heard from inside.
Flames began to ignite.
Smoke billows.
The entire Xingfu Jiayuan residential community was transformed into a gladiatorial arena in just ten minutes.
"Fuck..."
Wang Yang's lips were trembling, and his face was deathly pale.
He stared blankly at the bloody and cruel scene in the distance.
Those are all living, breathing people!
They are compatriots from the same world, speaking the same language as them!
They were slaughtered like pigs and dogs by a group of indigenous people who appeared out of nowhere!
"They...how come they didn't put up any resistance?" Wang Yang's voice trembled. "Didn't those people have any weapons?!"
"So what if you have weapons?"
Li Bin pushed up his glasses.
"Do you expect a group of ordinary people who were going to work, school, grocery shopping, and taking care of their children yesterday to fight against a group of level 8 or 10 natives who understand teamwork and live by killing?"
Wang Xing suddenly realized.
Yes.
the first time.
Just like when they first arrived in this world.
They were at a loss even when faced with a tiny iron-toothed rabbit, and were chased away by goblins, running for their lives.
The residents of Happy Home are not facing any small goblins.
They were a group of clearly trained and equipped indigenous cavalry!
"This is what you call a first time travel. It's nothing compared to us old hands who've traveled through time two or three times and seen blood," Li Bin corrected.
"So..." Zhong Chengyu finally couldn't hold back any longer. He clenched his fists and looked at Jiang Ming, "Brother Jiang, should we... go over and help?"
"How can we help?" Wang Yang immediately retorted irritably. "You go? Or should I? Are you suggesting we few go and fight those thirty-odd horsemen head-on?"
Although he was also angry, he wasn't foolish enough to let his emotions get the better of him.
There are only seven people on their side at most.
Even if Jiang Ming is incredibly strong and can take on ten people at once, the enemy is cavalry!
On the plains, the mobility and impact of cavalry are a nightmare for infantry!
Once their formation is broken, the result will be being divided and surrounded and killed!
Zhong Chengyu choked for a moment, but he still stubbornly held his neck, his face turning red.
"Then...then we just stand by and watch them burn, kill, and loot our fellow countrymen?!"
He emphasized the word "compatriots" very much.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Xu Shishi bit her lip, her eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she hid behind Xu Shishi, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears.
Yes.
Are you just going to watch like this?
Among them might be acquaintances, friends' family members, innocent children...
The atmosphere became incredibly heavy.
Everyone's eyes were instinctively drawn to the figure clad in silver armor.
Jiang Ming.
Only he could make a decision at a time like this.
Jiang Ming remained silent.
He simply watched the massacre unfold in the distance, letting the agonizing screams fill his ears, his eyes beneath the silver-white mask remaining completely still.
He only slowly turned his head after Zhong Chengyu asked that question.
The "—.—" slit on the mask was aligned with Zhong Chengyu.
"Why save them?"
He spoke, his voice sounding unusually calm through the metal filter.
"Why...why?" Zhong Chengyu was stunned. He hadn't expected Jiang Ming to ask that. "They are our compatriots!"
"Compatriots?"
Jiang Ming let out a soft laugh, a laugh filled with helplessness.
"Zhong Chengyu, are you overflowing with a saintly heart? Or are you still half asleep?"
Open your eyes and take a good look at this world!
"From the moment we were dumped here, we have no fellow countrymen."
"Yes, there are survivors, competitors, hunters, and prey!"
"They," Jiang Ming raised his hand, covered in metal gauntlets, and pointed to the engulfed residential area ablaze with flames, "are strangers to us."
"What price will we have to pay to save them?"
"If we engage in a head-on battle with over thirty cavalrymen of level 8 or higher, how many of us might die?"
"Two? Three?"
"Or was the entire army wiped out?"
"Would you be willing to die, or have Wang Yang or Li Bin die, for a few unrelated strangers?"
