Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

The refugees did not notice the danger in the dark, their eyes were filled with the excitement of success. As soon as the leading refugee stepped out, he was grabbed by the people behind him. Thinking that the property in the house was about to be taken away, he suddenly became angry, but before he could stop the others from looting, he heard a "whoosh" sound in the air.

"Ahhh!"

The sudden screams in the dark quickly stopped the refugees. Everyone looked at the people who were shot by arrows falling down, and they retreated in fear, fearing that they would be the next to fall.

The man who was shot was hit right in the chest, blood was flowing out of the wound, the pain made him unable to bear it, he wanted to find his companions for help, but found that there was no one around him, so he could only fall down slowly.

The refugee in the lead couldn't help but feel lucky that he was a step slower, otherwise he would have been the one lying on the ground. He didn't want to die yet, and he didn't know who was hiding in the house. Humph, the villain who only dared to shoot arrows in the dark must not be strong enough, but he might have a chance.

"What should we do?" Some of the refugees were hesitant. No matter how good the things were, they were not as important as life.

Some people wanted to quit and advised: "Why don't we quit?"

"What are you afraid of? We have more people."

"That's right. This is one of the best houses in the village. If you want to leave, you can leave. I won't leave."

"No one is allowed to leave. Didn't we inquire during the day? Most of the villagers have fled. This family must have fled as well. The people inside are either old, weak or sick. If you can't even deal with people like this, leave as soon as possible."

After all, there are only a few timid people. More people can see through the bluffing of the people in the house. If they were really powerful, they would have shot the second arrow long ago. The fact that there has been no movement must mean that the people inside don't have many arrows.

The refugees had committed all kinds of crimes, including murder, arson and robbery. They were experienced in facing danger, and it was difficult to scare them away with just one arrow. The timid people wanted to run, but seeing that most of them did not move, they did not dare to move either.

It is easy to run away at this time, but it is difficult to join in. If you are not careful, you will become the target of your companions. In order to avoid being robbed, even the timid people have to stay bravely. They are outnumbered and should be fine if you are careful.

The refugees were reluctant to disperse, but no one was stupid enough to be the first to step forward. They all wanted others to step forward, preferably to use up the arrows of the man in the house.

The first arrow killed someone. Ye Zhiqiu thought she was lucky. She didn't expect that the fall of someone only temporarily frightened the refugees. Although the darkness covered her actions, the refugees would not retreat and would try again sooner or later. Fortunately, she had a lot of arrows. Apart from consuming her energy, she would not use up any arrows.

She wanted to be patient, but she didn't expect the refugees to be unwilling to remain in a stalemate. They were in a hurry to find things in other houses. If they were a little slower, they would be preempted by others. Under the shove of the people behind them, the refugees in front were forced to move forward, but they were not stupid. They walked, but half-bent their bodies to avoid being hurt by the flying arrows.

Ye Zhiqiu sneered and released the arrow in her hand. She had been aiming for a long time. If the refugees were scattered, she might miss. But all the refugees were tightly packed together, so it would be difficult for her to hit them.

"Ah! My hand, my hand is going to break. Will I die?"

The second arrow hit the target, and the refugees dared not move. They knew that the enemy might run out of arrows, but no one dared to gamble their lives. The group looked at each other, and finally left the yard at the same time.

Forget it. They didn't believe that the people in the house would stay at home all the time, so they left a few people to guard the gate, and the others went to other houses to look for things. They would wait until everyone was gathered together, and if that didn't work, they could use fire attack.

Ye Zhiqiu did not relax her vigilance just because the refugees left. If she had the strength, she would definitely defeat all of them, a group of evil bandits. Unfortunately, she had been there for too short a time, and the only way she could protect herself was with the help of a crossbow.

She tried to move her hands and feet, hoping that the refugees would disperse quickly, but unfortunately God did not hear her prayers. Not only did the refugees not disperse, but their numbers increased.

They searched all the places in the village, but they didn't find much food. Even with the bran, there were only a little over 100 kilograms of food, which was not enough for so many people. Fortunately, there were still some valuables. Only the Ye family had not been entered yet. All the refugees gathered together to think of a solution. After a quarrel, they decided to set fire to the house.

Anyway, it wasn't their house, and there was no water nearby. They couldn't stay here for long, and had to continue to go south to find water. It would be best if a fire could force people out, but it didn't matter if it didn't work.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter. Ye Zhiqiu yawned and chatted with the system in a casual manner, just to prevent himself from falling asleep. Suddenly, the system exclaimed: "Host, be careful, they are going to set a fire."

Ye Zhiqiu used his spiritual sense to check the space, trying to find something to put out the fire. Thanks to his good habit of hoarding everything, he really had to open the space to find a few fire extinguishers, but he didn't know if they could still be used.

No matter what, she would know after a try. If it didn't work, there was still water in the space, so she could just pour water on it. Without any kindling material or gasoline, she didn't believe the fire could burn that badly.

Fortunately, the Ye family’s house was made of blue bricks and black tiles. If it was a flammable wooden house or thatched house, the fire extinguisher would be useless and she would have to watch the fire and fumble around.

The other party was about to set fire to her, and Ye Zhiqiu was unwilling to sit and wait for death. Before the fire started, she took the initiative to attack, moved from inside the house to outside, found a good position and started shooting arrows.

She had a crossbow, but the weapons in the hands of the refugees were much simpler. They didn't even have a machete. A kitchen knife was considered a good weapon. More people used farm tools, and some just took a wooden stick as a weapon.

A mob can commit many crimes, relying on brute force and fearlessness. As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are in Kung Fu, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. Arrows are faster than kitchen knives. After a few arrows were shot, the refugees were scared and fled in all directions. The refugees who lit the firewood fell to the ground unwillingly.

The fire didn't even start, and the people died. The others looked at the tinder on the ground, and no one wanted to grab it. While the refugees hesitated, Ye Zhiqiu was not idle either, shooting arrows one after another, even if they missed.

This made the refugees unclear about the situation in the house. They didn't know how many people were inside the house, nor did they know when they would finish shooting all the arrows.

Seeing that more and more people were injured, the timid ones among the refugees had quietly moved back. They did not dare to run because they were afraid of the brutal methods of the leaders. After all, bad guys also come in different levels, and not all of them are not afraid of death.

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

Seeing that there were still endless arrows shooting out of the yard, the most ferocious leaders among the refugees finally couldn't help but lead the retreat. Forget it, it's just an ordinary family in the village, not a big yard of a landlord, it's not worth everyone rushing in.

With them taking the lead, the other refugees who had long wanted to retreat ran faster, for fear that if they ran too slowly they would be caught up by the arrows.
