I'm bad, but players love me

In the past, Dim relied on the kindness of this old woman to barely make a living and was covered in dirt. But now, she carries a gun with dignity and no longer has to worry about food.
The old woman, however, had changed from her previous kind and gentle demeanor to a graceful one. Now she was nestled in this small wardrobe, like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body, full of vigilance.
The gentleness in her eyes was gone, replaced by endless hatred.
Grandma Hina didn't recognize Dim, but Dim recognized her at a glance.
At this moment, endless regret surged into Dim's heart like a tide, instantly drowning his heart.
It tugged at every nerve in her body, forcing her to recall over and over again her rashness in choosing this family and the ridiculous and hypocritical excuse she had made - "They were just robbing us of our money at most."
Dim bit the soft muscles in her mouth tightly, and the bloody taste spread in her mouth, which made her sober up a lot.
She stretched out her hand silently, her movements somewhat stiff.
Xina's eyes widened, staring at the hand without blinking.
She secretly swore in her heart: If this person dares to touch my grandson, I will fight her to the death! Even if I die, I will die before my grandson.
Dim avoided her, grabbed the clothes in the closet, threw them on the ground in handfuls, and then closed the closet door directly.
Then, she slowly turned around and said in a cold and hoarse voice, "It's all here. It's not worth anything."
The man who had just claimed that the things in the closet were worthless jumped out impatiently and said smugly, "See, I was right, wasn't I?"
"Alright, let's go to the next one." Shalltear's tone was resolute and decisive. She ended the current topic without hesitation and urged, "Don't waste time dawdling. Just look for it. We're here to fight, not to rob."
After she finished speaking, she immediately took the lead and strode towards the door.
After Shalltear and the others left, Dim paused for a moment, then gently pushed open the wardrobe door again.
Xina, who originally thought she had successfully escaped the danger, was frightened by the sound of the door opening. She trembled all over and then stared at Dim vigilantly like a frightened bird.
"Grandma Xina..." Dim opened his mouth, but suddenly became speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Without Xina's charity, she would not have been able to survive, but Dim killed her relatives with his own hands.
Dim really didn't dare to look directly into Xina's eyes. She took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag from her arms. This was all the money she had saved from working for so long. But after hesitating for a long time, she still handed it to Xina.
"This is all I have," Dim said, his throat still hoarse from being strangled, but he tried to soften his voice. "When you have a chance, take the children and flee from here. Although this money isn't much, it's enough to sustain your normal life for ten days, half a month..."
She paused. "If the money runs out and this war isn't over, go find ELO. Remember, you must go find ELO. Only ELO can save you."
"Why?" Xina asked, holding the cloth bag, her tone filled with indescribable grievance and confusion, "Aren't you from the Kori Army?"
Aren't the Kori Army supposed to protect us? Why are you doing this now?
"They have always been like this. It's just that they had no reason to treat you like this before. They have always been like this in the slums and areas near the slums." Dim replied in a low voice.
"Then why did you save me?" Xina asked again.
Before Dim could answer, a voice suddenly interrupted, "Yes. I'm also curious why you saved her."
Shalltear leaned against the doorframe, raised an eyebrow and looked at Dim, her eyes filled with disdain and scrutiny. "Why are you still crying? It's like you're in a melodrama. It's as if you didn't choose us to rob this family."
Dim no longer dared to look directly into Hina's eyes. Her face was as pale as paper, and her heart was beating as if it was about to burst through her chest. After hurriedly closing the cabinet door, she turned to face Shalltear who was approaching step by step.
"What's wrong? Did I disturb you?" Shalltear asked with a wry smile that made people's hair stand on end.
"No, no, no, that's absolutely not the case!" Dim waved his hands quickly, his voice trembling with fear. "It's just that this old woman once did me a favor, so I want to save her..."
"Oh, if it's just an old woman, it wouldn't be a problem." Shalltear said with feigned generosity, but then changed the subject, "But, I think I heard she has a grandson. Have you seen him?"
The family portrait in the living room showed the smiling faces of a family of five. Shalltear had killed two of them, and there were still three left.
If one cannot be found outside, then at least they can be caught if two are hiding inside.
"I... I didn't see it." Dim gritted his teeth and denied it firmly.
At the same time, she quietly put her hands behind her back, her palms sweating with nervousness.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him." Shalltear chuckled softly, a morbid curiosity glint in her eyes. "I'm simply curious... I'm curious about the pained expression on the face of a child who has lost a sister."
"I really... didn't see it." Dim's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. She knew she had to protect the two people behind her and never let them fall into Shalltear's hands.
Shalltear tsk-tsk-tsked, "You bastard, you just love being a jerk. I didn't kill you last time, so you're upset, right? Get lost!"
After saying that, she raised her foot and kicked Dim in the stomach. Dim groaned, clutching his stomach, curled up in pain, spitting out acid, his face as pale as paper.
Shalltear didn't even glance at him. She walked straight to the cabinet, flung the door open, and shouted triumphantly, "Look! Isn't she right here?"
Then, without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed the neck of the child in Xina's arms, using all her strength to pull the child out of Xina's arms like pulling a carrot.
Hina was terrified and desperately tried to protect the child, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Let him go! You robber!"
Shalltear ignored her pleas and cries, still holding the child tightly.
The child's neck was not very strong to begin with, and after being pulled a few times, it hurt so much that he couldn't stop crying, his face flushed red, and he was about to be pulled to death by the "tug of war".
Xina was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to resist, fearing she might hurt the child. She could only plead with tears in her eyes, "Please, you've already taken all the money, even the heirloom. Please, have mercy on us and let us go!"
"Why are you crying? You're so old, this is not good for your health. By the way, you probably haven't seen a child fall to death, so today I'll let you see it." Shalltear lifted the child in her arms above her head, a cruel gleam in her eyes, as if she was going to throw this innocent life away in the next second.
Xina screamed in terror, tears streaming down her face. "No! No! Please! Let me die for him! He's just a child!"
Dim was distraught. She frantically fumbled for a weapon at her waist, hoping to prevent the tragedy. However, her pistol had already been taken away, and she only had a few grenades. But in this situation, using grenades would be tantamount to mutual destruction.
She didn't even have time to get up; she fell to the ground, pulled out the small knife from her leg, and stabbed it straight into Shalltear's calf. Then she pulled it down hard, causing blood to flow freely.
Shalltear screamed in pain, was forced to half-kneel, and dropped the child.
Then he reacted quickly and twisted Dim's wrist with his backhand, and the knife was thrown out and landed at the farthest end of the bed next to the wardrobe.
Dim struggled to break free, her eyes fixed on the knife, clearly intending to grab it, but Shalltear was obviously much faster than her.
After all, Dim was just a gangster who got beaten up every day and grew up malnourished. Even after joining the Cori Army, he only trained for two days. Shalltear, on the other hand, had food and drink since she was a child and had trained diligently for several months. The physical fitness of the two was incomparable.
But at the same time, Dim's advantage over Shalltear is that she has a lot of talent for taking a beating and beating others.
For example, most people in a fight are accustomed to fighting for weapons and ignore the weapons they already have.
Shalltear clearly had a knife on her, but she went to great lengths to snatch the knife that flew far away from Dim.
Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity when Shalltear exposed her entire back to him, Dim picked up a long silk scarf scattered on the ground and wrapped it around Shalltear's neck.
It was so fast that Shalltear didn't even touch the knife.
Dim crossed the ends of the scarf and tightened it, then turned around so that Shalltear's back was pressed against his own. He pulled the scarf tight, bent over continuously, and repeatedly lifted Shalltear up.
How could Shalltear give up so easily? She kicked Dim's legs repeatedly, causing him so much pain that he could hardly stand and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, all of Shalltear's resistance ceased.
Dim didn't dare to put her down, fearing that she was faking her death, until Xina's voice came from behind, "Put her down, she's dead."
It's over... Dim suddenly went limp, and after pushing Shalltear aside, she looked at Hina who had just spoken, panting.
At this moment, Xina was hugging the crying and difficult-to-consolate child tightly, coaxing him with soft voices.
Dim turned his gaze towards Shalltear's lifeless body, only to see a knife deeply inserted into her kidney area—the very knife that Dim had casually thrown beside the bed.
It's clear that the person who actually killed Shalltear was Sheena.
Xina kept rubbing the child's tender face with her cheek, muttering to herself: "I almost lost you. It doesn't matter, for you, grandma is willing to do anything, even killing people. Even if it means killing people, grandma is not afraid..." At the end of her words, she was already in tears and sobbing.
Dim pulled out the knife stuck in Shalltear's body and looted everything he could from the corpse. He said to Hina in a firm tone, "Go find ELO. Follow them and you'll survive."
After hearing this, Xina showed a hesitant look on her face and stammered, "But... they..."
"Although they are rebels, they are the only rebels who will protect civilians like you. Don't worry, based on my understanding of their commander, even if they lose, they will do their best to keep you alive."
Dim raised his hand and touched the head of the child in Xina's arms. "I'll deal with those people outside."
"Oh, by the way, I still remember you once asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I'm a person without dreams, so I've never been able to answer you. But now I think I can. I want to be a human being, someone who can live up to his conscience."
Dim smiled bitterly. "You are a good person, Grandma Hina. Good people should not die like this. Good people should live long. It is people like me who have no conscience who should die."
She walked out of the house with her gun in hand. The people who were bragging and waiting outside didn't notice anything at all. When they saw Dim coming out, they asked, "Where's the old man?"
"Oh, well, I'll take you to see her." Dim smiled slightly.
Multiple shots were fired in an instant, and the people in front of him fell down before they even had time to pull out their guns.
Chapter 85: Setash Exposed (Refresh)
ELO has always adhered to the concept of "the early bird catches the worm". As soon as the ordinary crowd evacuated, they rushed to occupy the high ground.
As the saying goes, “hit the high and hit the low, hit the stupid,” especially when there are only a few main transportation routes in the city of Corrie.
Now, forget about attacking ELO’s stronghold in the slums. Even if you want to go deep into the civilian area, you must first ask ELO’s guns and cannons for permission.
What? What if the crowd refuses to disperse? After all, you, ELO, are still rebels. In Cori, where the powerful hold the sway over public opinion, ELO is essentially synonymous with villainy.
What if there are a few stubborn city lovers who are determined to fight you to the death and refuse to move?
It doesn't matter. Anyone who can live deep in the civilian areas close to the slums basically has some hatred towards the powerful. Those who can vote for ELO have already voted, and as for the rest, they are just neutral fence-sitters.
Don't worry, Yun Shuo will naturally go and talk to them in a friendly manner.
As for why Yun Shuo was followed by a guy carrying several machine guns?
This is purely Gouzi's personal act of loving to lead and has absolutely nothing to do with intimidation by force.
At this moment, the comments were all hysterical. [You guys at ELO have done this, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't use force to intimidate?]
[When it comes to shamelessness, we still have to look at Gou Zi. He's holding a few machine guns to show his ability.]
"What are you talking about? What kind of talk is that? How could the commander-in-chief do anything wrong?" Gouzi immediately denied it. "Do you even know what nuclear peace communication is?"
[What's the difference between this kind of hooliganism and the nobles next door? ]
"Mute warning." Although Gou Zi's current live broadcasting skills cannot be called a veteran, he is very familiar with dealing with things like muting.
Anyway, whenever he sees someone cursing ELO, he'll immediately offer a free one-stop service of silencing or kicking them out.
"Sorry, this is how our ELO is. Don't agree? Just keep it to yourself! Anyway, I don't rely on this to make a living. I can do whatever I want." Gou Zi said this with a look of disdain on his face.
However, the disdain on his face did not last long and was soon replaced by excitement.
As soon as Yun Shuo came up, a dialog box popped up, "Let's go and steal the logistics supplies."
【it is good. 】
Gouzi was also confused in the live broadcast room. "No, is this really the start of the war simulator? There are also logistics supply trucks to do?"
[No, this is a special storyline for the ELO faction. Isn't "Crisis of Faith" only about carriages?]
[Everyone next door is enjoying a magical brawl, the colorful screens are fantastic. We're just too poor, so we can only play this kind of low-powered game.]
"Look at those bazookas and say it again?"
【Isn't that still low firepower?】
The Noble faction is truly a women's game. Their main focus is on eye candy. ELO is nothing. They can't even build anything pretty with infrastructure. Why don't you just sleep in boxes? Why are you building roofs?
Gouzi responded directly: "It's okay, our mission at ELO is to pack you little nobles into boxes and make sure that the weight of the boxes and you together doesn't exceed three pounds."
[For nobles like you, I'm too lazy to even hang up the streetlights. I'll just start cremating you.]
[It's only three pounds. What if it exceeds the limit?]
[Just saying! I don't believe the box alone weighs three pounds. ELO couldn't bear to make such a good urn. This way, at least some of the ashes can be preserved.]
When ELO was occupying the main important passage, the Kori army had already started to act. As a result, as soon as the army entered, ELO took a detour and occupied the place directly. In this way, part of the Kori army's forces were inexplicably trapped inside.
We fought for a long time but couldn't get out. To put it nicely, we have penetrated deep into enemy territory. To put it bluntly, we are trapped inside. We have no bullets and no food. We can't survive and are ready to surrender.
The Cori army outside couldn't quickly capture the ELO position. They had heavy firepower, and so did the ELO, and they also had the advantage of terrain.
But the Kori troops inside are still human beings after all. If supplies are not delivered in time, the troops inside will have no choice but to surrender after they run out of ammunition and food.
In this way, these military forces will only become ELO's possession, and the soldiers that they have worked so hard to get will be given away for free.
But ELO has blocked all the main roads, so if you want to send supplies, you can only secretly transport them through the small roads.
However, although ELO occupied the main roads, they could not completely block all the side roads.
The Kori Army firmly believed that as long as they found a channel for transporting supplies and as long as the ELO left a small gap, they could continuously transport supplies in to maintain the survival and combat capabilities of the trapped troops.
After all, even if I can't beat you ELO on the front battlefield, the people standing behind me are the powerful class who occupy most of the resources. Can't I hold back a poor and broken organization like you ELO?
At this moment, the system's intelligence played an absolute advantage: [A supply carriage will pass by in two minutes, one hundred meters ahead.]
"Thank you very much. You see, I told you that you could be useful." Yun Shuo raised his hand and made a "two" sign behind him. The people behind him understood and immediately loaded their guns, their eyes full of anticipation and tension, waiting for the moment when the convoy came into their sight.
"on!"
