CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124: GIVE THEM THE LAST LESSON OF THEIR LIVES!

On the rooftop, the breeze gusts gently.

Lin Yue and Bai are quietly waiting for the right moment, their heads covered with sheepskin.

He holds an alloy compound crossbow in his hands, aiming at the ground, while Bai continues to remain vigilant against potential threats.

Lin Yue feels a sense of wonder.

Being at least thirty meters above the ground is an experience he rarely has, and he has never looked directly down at the ground from such a height.

He’s grateful he doesn’t suffer from acrophobia; this height could instantly be fatal to someone who does.

Having been relocated from the bakery to this elevated position, he has complete control, as opposed to being cornered in that small bakery, where one swift move by the enemy could have put him at a significant disadvantage.

Through the sighting scope, the charred corpse of the monster winged dragon emits wisps of smoke, while the person who was shouting before hasn’t stopped, and even seems to intensify in their yelling.

Moreover, there isn’t just one voice, one he doesn’t understand, and another speaking English.

Are there others? Just how many people are there, or is it a large group?

With limited intelligence, Lin Yue can only make educated guesses based on the clues at hand.

The alloy tactical crossbow’s string is taut, the crossbow arrow poised for immediate firing, while he simultaneously waits for the moment when the enemy can no longer restrain themselves and rushes out.

If others do not provoke him, he won’t take the initiative, and if these people leave after their verbal barrage, he wouldn’t necessarily have to deal with them forcefully.

Everyone is from Earth, why must it end in a life-or-death struggle?

Lin Yue’s principle is that as long as everyone keeps to themselves, things will stay peaceful, but if the other side wants his life, he absolutely won’t hesitate.

The three previous groups of raiders are prime examples; none of them left there alive, did they?

"Twitch twitch." Bai, who has been on alert all along, signals that there is temporarily no enemy on the roof, which is true.

The enemies in the sky... it seems that the only known real threat to them on the rooftop is the monster winged dragon.

Right, wasn’t that tentacle monster on the last occasion able to fly as well?

After waiting for a while, as Lin Yue’s boredom grows, five heads suddenly emerge from a location nearly fifty to sixty meters away from the bakery!

They’re here!

Lin’s sighting scope sweeps over their heads, discovering these people carefully sticking close to the wall, moving slowly towards the bakery, almost without any noise.

They’re holding short bows, with flaming arrows burning fiercely, yet another voice can be heard emanating from the building from which they emerged, calling out incessantly.

A team of more than five? And they know how to feign actions to distract attention?

Moreover, they appear to be genuinely intending to kill!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Inside the sighting scope, several flame-tipped arrows suddenly shoot from the hands of the five people, directly piercing the sheepskin at the bakery’s entrance!

Thick smoke quickly rises, and those individuals simultaneously let out a low cry.

Lin Yue targets one person’s head.

Wow, they really mean it. If I were still in that spot, you all would have really killed me on the spot, wouldn’t you?

He finds it unreasonable.

Why must it be like this? Are these people also raiders?

Well, eliminate one first! At over thirty meters distance, the original steel repeating crossbow could shoot with absolute precision; now with the alloy tactical crossbow, even if they’re wearing bone armor, Lin Yue can pierce right through them!

"Have we killed Lin Yue?"

Suddenly, one person, seemingly overly excited, can’t help but shout, and this shout is heard crystal clear by Lin Yue, who was about to press the trigger!

His finger involuntarily stiffens.

Killed Lin Yue?

They... recognize me?

Have I become that famous, or have I been targeted for a long time?

Unfortunately, from here he can only see the tops of their heads, unable to discern who they are; even if he could see their faces, he might still not know them.

Just now was truly ruthless; if he had been there, he would’ve been engulfed in flames, leading to certain death.

"Wait, there’s no one under the skin, he ran..."

One person points at the burning skin, not having finished speaking, suddenly a crossbow arrow shoots through their back, pinning them to the ground!

The person beside them hadn’t even reacted before another arrow pierced their neck, causing them to scream tragically and fall to the ground.

"Up, above! He’s... ah ah ah!"

The third!

Hunting me, is that it? Hunting me, huh!

I’ll send you all on your way!

Although Lin Yue maintains his composure now, his long-term survival instinct and numerous confrontations with those trying to kill him have fully awakened his primal instincts.

With his life threatened, he’s not thinking of escaping, nor pleading with the enemy, but ensuring that he gives a final lesson to each of them with his weapon!

Why do some people just want to take others’ lives without others being allowed to resist?

With a powerful weapon in his hands, Lin Yue has no reason to let these people dance over his head.

Feel like jumping? Get ready to become corpses first!

The electric stringer reaches its end, and the crossbow arrow instantly fires, piercing the abdomen of one of the remaining two people.

The fourth!

"Wow, ah-ah-ah! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

The remaining one rushes into the bakery, entering Lin Yue’s shooting blind spot, while the two who were previously calling for Lin Yue are completely silent now.

Is it over?

Or...

Whoosh whoosh!

Two arrows suddenly fly from below, hitting the wall below where Lin Yue lies, then fall down.

Good stuff, even at this moment, they still want to fight back, fine.

It seems the enemy is indeed after his life—Lin Yue’s life!

Since they called his name, this proves they know who they’re dealing with, and seemingly won’t stop until they achieve their goal.

"Twitch twitch!" Bai faces in another direction, where there are faint figures concealed within tall grass.

Lin Yue raises the alloy compound crossbow and aims at that direction, pressing the trigger in his hand!

"Ah!!" The arrow pierces the person’s forehead, resulting in them falling facedown to the ground, beyond dead. Lin Yue prepares to reload, ready to finish off the last one, but finds that the remaining person suddenly turns and runs, heading farther away.

"Ran away? Not going to fight to the death?" Lin Yue is rather surprised; he thought these maniacs wouldn’t stop until they achieved their objective.

"Twitch." Bai signals to Lin Yue that there’s no more movement and that the person who ran away seems to have disappeared into the deeper left-hand direction.

After waiting some more, Lin Yue finally lifts the sheepskin from his head and stores it in the storage space.

He takes a deep breath, standing up at this more than thirty-meter-high spot.

The distant ocean looks beautiful, so beautiful it makes him believe he’s returned to the Earth of the past.

But the corpses on the ground remind him that this is Earth decades later, with dangerous people like these lurking in such an unusual apocalypse, watching him intently.

"Let’s go down, Bai."

Lin Yue walks to the ladder and descends.

The rhythmic sounds of footsteps on the metal ladder echo; Lin Yue, for some reason, feels a sense of isolation.

Though he never really liked interacting with others, his personality has become even more pronounced since crossing into the Otherworld together with humanity.

"Yet, there isn’t anyone trustworthy." Lin Yue shakes his head.

Everyone lives for themselves by any means necessary.

Even those originally gentle as sheep have become a mix of sheep and wolf, with a heart that is ready to prey hiding beneath a harmless appearance.

Once reaching the ground, Bai leads Lin Yue straight toward the person within the grass.

As they get closer, a strong scent grows stronger.

Entering the tall grasses, Lin Yue sees the corpse with the arrow lodged in its forehead and notes that the aroma emanates from its body.

"Sprayed perfume again? Could it be intended to confuse monsters like the winged dragon?"

Lin Yue is about to search for perfume or something similar near this corpse, but suddenly realizes this face looks familiar.

Black hair, wearing glasses, and the eyebrows and eyes...

Lin Yue’s brain races as he feels he has had plenty of exchanges with this person before, yet...

Wait a minute!

Isn’t this person?!

...
