Doomsday Code
Chapter 6 Arrested
When Chen Cheng returned to the village entrance, the sun had already set, and the entire village was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun and the light of the fire.
And in this sunset, a dark cloud also came from the horizon. I don’t know whether the coming rain is to cry for these poor savages or to put out the fire that is about to sweep the entire forest.
The screams of women, the cries of children, the curses and pleas of the elderly, and the sounds of killing by the slave-hunting team intertwined in Chen Cheng's ears.
He didn't expect that this so-called disaster would be someone coming to massacre the village.
Chen Cheng was hiding behind a big tree outside the village. At this moment, he was clenching his fists in fear and nervousness. This was the first time he left Samlett and encountered danger alone.
But when he saw a child less than three years old being pulled out from behind a tree and beheaded, and looked at the bright red blood splattering everywhere, and the child's frightened face with tears still on it rolling on the ground, and the executioner's wanton laughter, the fear in his heart had been replaced by anger.
In his previous life, one of the reasons why he worked hard to study controlled nuclear fusion was to solve the energy crisis of mankind and prevent mankind from having wars like the Iran-Iraq war over energy. In particular, when he saw the refugees in Iran, especially the children, on the Internet, it can be said that he is a pacifist who loves life in his heart.
This was the first time he faced this bloody scene so realistically, and the wailing sounds that came from his ears from time to time constantly irritated his nerves.
Looking at the guy who was holding the child's head and laughing wildly, as if he was showing off his achievement.
Chen Cheng loaded the musket in his hand. At this time, he no longer regarded these executioners as ordinary people. In his eyes, they were now a group of thugs. He aimed directly at the guy who was beheaded and shot him.
The sound of gunpowder firing in the gun barrel was very loud, and the guy died in a very miserable way, with his entire head being riddled with holes in his head.
When the guys who were killing people in the village heard the gunshots, they all ran out, and then saw the executioner Bob dying in an ugly manner at the entrance of the village.
When these guys saw that Bob was dead, they all went crazy and rushed out of the village shouting and holding their weapons.
"Damn wild monkeys, they actually killed Bob."
"Where is the wild monkey? I want to catch him and avenge Bob."
Chen Cheng was also ruthless. He aimed at the people in front and fired two shots. The two guys went to see the God of Light again.
"What kind of weapon is he using? It's not even a bow and arrow."
"West and the others have also fallen. Hurry up and surround and capture him."
With the death of the two, Chen Cheng's position was exposed. The guys from the slave-hunting team rushed towards the direction where he was hiding. At the same time, William, the only magician in their slave-hunting team, chanted the fire spirit spell and threw a fireball at him.
Although Chen Cheng, who had been fighting and training with ferocious beasts for many years, had not developed any fighting spirit, he was still very good at dealing with this kind of simple magic attack.
After Chen Cheng rolled over and leaned against a big tree to avoid the fireball, he began to use his guerrilla tactics, leading these guys through the woods.
There were a few more gunshots, and several guys were knocked down by Chen Cheng again.
Seeing that several of their companions had died, the guys in the slave-hunting team were all timid. However, the captain of the slave-hunting team, Xie Er, pointed at Chen Cheng who was running ahead with an excited look on his face and said:
"Look at this, what a healthy and agile savage this is. None of the slaves we have captured in recent years is as powerful as him. If we capture him, I estimate that his price will not be lower than those orcs, so we will make a fortune this time."
When they heard Scorpion's words, the members of the slave-catching team became excited. They were just a very low-level slave-catching team with only one magician in the team, and the strongest one was only the captain Scorpion, who had just been promoted to a silver warrior not long ago.
And if they can capture slaves of equal value to the orcs this time, it will bring them not only money, but also honor in the slave-catching world.
Now these guys began to have a clear division of labor and started to treat Chen Cheng as a big enemy.
After Chen Cheng killed two more, his gunpowder was almost used up, and when he saw the encirclement that had been formed, he knew that he really couldn't escape this time.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, Chen Cheng gripped the sword at his waist and was about to draw it, but a wry smile appeared on his nervous face and he said:
"Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng, it's a little late for you to learn martial arts at this time."
Then Chen Cheng threw away the negative emotions in his mind, loaded the gunpowder for the last shotgun shell, and then his eyes fell on the only magician in the slave-hunting team.
After following the legendary warrior Samlett for these years, Chen Cheng's understanding of the warrior system can be said to have surpassed 95% of the warrior practitioners in the entire continent.
He had also long observed that most of the team members were either ordinary people with stronger bodies or low-level warriors who had just entered the bronze level. Only the captain who was giving orders in the back seemed to have silver-level combat power.
However, with his many years of life experience in this forest, Chen Cheng can still give it a try. Even if he cannot defeat the captain later, he still has a chance to escape.
But all this is based on the premise that the magician is not here.
I don’t know if this guy can use tracking magic. He has experienced the difficulty of this magic since he was born.
If this magician really knows how to track magic, then he will not be able to escape from these people's pursuit.
The night was Chen Cheng's best cover. When there was no more gunfire in the woods, everything seemed so peaceful, and beneath this peacefulness were Chen Cheng's smart and bloodthirsty eyes.
"Captain, I can't see that damn wild monkey anymore."
"Captain, we are the same here. I really don't know why that wild monkey is so good at hiding."
When he stopped hearing the gunshots, Scorpion felt something was wrong. Then this guy began to shout in the language of the mountain savages, and his men went back to the village to capture women and pushed them to the front to slaughter them in front of him.
"Savage monkey, come out quickly, these are all your people. If you don't come out we will kill them."
Chen Cheng knew that this guy regarded him as a member of this village, and now Chen Cheng just wanted to survive and kill these damn bastards.
Because he knew that he could not save these poor savages, he did not think of exposing himself. Instead, he looked at the magician with extremely cold eyes, as if he had treated him as a dead man.
In this way, Chen Cheng lurked in the woods, approaching the magician cautiously.
Just when Chen Cheng was less than ten meters away from the magician, he suddenly heard a burst of explosion in his ears. He knew that he had somehow triggered the alarm set by the magician, and he had been exposed.
At this time, Chen Cheng no longer hid. He endured the dizziness caused by the explosion hitting his eardrums and shot at the chanting magician.
With a bang, this shot was loaded with much more gunpowder than the previous one. Even though the magician was careful and released a magic barrier in front of himself beforehand, he was still turned into a ghost by this shot.
After firing the gun, Chen Cheng no longer cared about anything. The gun in his hand was broken, so he dropped the gun and turned around and ran away.
When the guys in the slave-hunting team saw that their only magician had died on the spot, they were all enraged by Chen Cheng. They no longer used the usual slave-hunting tactics of flying kites against Chen Cheng, but directly mobilized their own fighting spirit to rush towards Chen Cheng.
"Kill him! He actually killed Magician William. This time we are at a huge loss."
These people can be said to be completely inhumane. William's death was just a loss to them, and no one felt sad about his death.
Before, Chen Cheng might have been able to threaten these guys with the gun in his hand, making them afraid to attack and then having the possibility of defeating them one by one. However, when they saw Chen Cheng drop the iron gun to reduce the weight, these guys were no longer afraid and rushed up directly.
The strongest of these guys is only a level three late bronze warrior. Chen Cheng can still follow them behind by taking advantage of the favorable terrain of the forest, and then find a chance to kill a few of them.
But when Scorpion got angry after seeing his own magician die, Chen Cheng really couldn't escape this time.
As a fifth-level silver warrior, Xie Er can easily smash the huge trees blocking his way with the fighting spirit he releases. At the same time, his agility and speed are also unmatched by ordinary people.
Moreover, a guy like him who makes a living by catching slaves is naturally very familiar with the dense forest. So just when Chen Cheng thought his plan was foolproof, Scorpion gave him a surprise.
When he wanted to use the big tree to avoid the attacks of the minions and continue to escape, Scorpion had already predicted the direction of his movement, and jumped directly and punched the trunk of the big tree he was about to pass by.
The trunk of the tree, which was more than 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter, was blasted through by his punch like a piece of broken wood, and then the tree grabbed the animal skin armor on Chen Cheng's body in front of Chen Cheng's horrified eyes.
Chen Cheng had no time to react at all, and he was knocked to the ground like a rolling gourd.
Just when he wanted to get up and run away quickly, Scorpion and his slave-catching team had already captured him.
"What a strong savage! Tie him up. William and his men's pensions and our future life depend on him."
When Chen Cheng thought he was going to be executed, Scorpion began to discuss with the guys from the slave-catching team how to sell him at a high price.
In fact, Chen Cheng didn't know that these slave catchers didn't care about the life or death of their companions at all. If their companions died, they could get a penny less from selling the captured slaves.
Not to mention Chen Cheng, a high-quality slave whose capture cost the lives of several slave catchers and a magician.
If they brought him back to a big city and then publicized today's events, he could easily be sold for hundreds of times the price of an ordinary slave, and this amount of money would be an astronomical figure for them.
In particular, Xie Er had Chen Cheng's musket retrieved, which was strong evidence that Chen Cheng, a slave, could also make some slightly more advanced weapons, and this kind of slave was the favorite of the nobles.
The gloomy sky also let out a roar of its own at this time, and heavy rain fell down, as if the gods in the sky were also feeling sad for the villagers who died tragically.
Chen Cheng, who was tied up tightly, was treated as the most valuable treasure by these slave hunters and was prepared to be escorted out of the mountains.
At dawn the next day, after the rain stopped, these guys no longer went into the woods to search for new savage villages and capture slaves.
Just in case, they took Chen Cheng out of the mountain directly. This time they were going to rely on Chen Cheng to make a fortune.
Locked in a cage covered with animal skins, Chen Cheng felt himself slowly getting heavier, and falling towards the endless abyss.
After several days of bumpy and muddy mountain roads, they finally walked out of the Nanmu Forest.
Just when Xie Er asked someone to conduct a routine check on Chen Cheng's condition, the person who checked came hurriedly to Xie Er to report.
"Captain, this kid has a fever."
When Xie Er, who was imagining his wonderful future, heard the news, he was shocked, and then he grabbed the man's hand and said:
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you."
