I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 19 It’s all here
Before Lin Ruoyu took action, he anticipated that the assassination attempt would fail and that all members would be surrounded and killed by the guards during the operation.

He even thought that he would fight to the end, and then, in order to avoid being captured alive, he would passionately pull the fuse behind his waist, detonating the explosive pack hidden behind his back, blowing his own body and his companions' bodies to pieces, leaving no intact body.

Lin Ruoyu thought a lot, but he never thought that the assassination operation had just begun, and five of the ten people were killed. Among them, Home Alone and the other three were stabbed to death on the spot, and the remaining one was seriously injured and lying on the ground, breathing in and out.

In the house with two gas lamps lit, the five remaining players who could still move looked at each other in confusion. The seriously injured person lying on the ground covered his bleeding wound and complained.

"What the hell! I didn't check the almanac before going out. How unlucky!"

Lin Ruoyu took a deep breath and looked around.

"Someone come bandage him and stop the bleeding. Don't let him die. The rest of you spread out and search the body. Also check the house and find the tunnel."

"Ah, shall we continue with the mission?"

One player was very surprised. He pointed at the four corpses and one nearly corpse lying on the ground, and then pointed at the other four people who were still standing.

"He's also injured, his arm is covered in blood. Then the four of us will go on a mission?"

"What a joke! It's already this late. If we don't complete the mission, wouldn't the four people who died have died in vain?"

"No, there are five people. The seriously injured person seems to be dead. Look, he is not moving at all."

The noise from the remaining players made Lin Ruoyu exhausted both physically and mentally. He waved his hands weakly and ignored their quarrel. He could only take care of himself first, took off his clothes, tore up his pure cotton shirt, and bandaged his arm.

The duel with that master just now was very dangerous, even though Lin Ruoyu had received systematic training in the 25th century and was more skilled in close combat.

However, the enemy's desperate counterattack also left three knife scars on his arms.

The wound was not deep, and did not damage important parts of the arm such as blood vessels and tendons, but the three knife wounds and the blood lost in the battle reduced Lin Ruoyu's arm combat skills by about half.

After Lin Ruoyu finished the bandaging with great difficulty, the remaining four players stopped arguing and spontaneously divided the work.

That's how players are, noisy.

What made Lin Ruoyu feel relieved was that although they were noisy, they had not forgotten their business. The four of them split into two groups, one person searched the NPC corpses, and the other three searched the houses.

After more than ten minutes, the four players gathered in front of Lin Ruoyu again, and their harvest was placed on the ground, with eight corpses neatly placed on the side.

"A huge reward! These three NPCs are definitely mini-bosses. They're so fat!"

Yes, it was a fruitful harvest, and Lin Ruoyu also agreed with this statement.

In addition to cold weapons such as three extremely sharp daggers and six pairs of arm armor, the things placed on the ground also included three muzzle-loading muskets, five strange-looking multi-barreled pistols, and dozens of paper-wrapped gunpowder.

What a guy.

Lin Ruoyu picked up a musket, took a quick look at its spring bolt, then stretched out his finger and stuck it into the barrel to feel the threads inside.

"It's a rifle."

As he spoke, Lin Ruoyu picked up a pack of cylindrical gunpowder and squeezed it with his hand.

"Ball-nosed cylindrical lead bullets and gunpowder. Okay, we can confirm that these three muskets are muzzle-loading rifled muskets. Their accuracy and range are better than ordinary muzzle-loading muskets, but their reloading speed is slow."

"Mini Rifle!?"

"Something like it, but it's not a Minié rifle."

Lin Ruoyu explained.

"The Minié rifle is a spring-loaded percussion cap rifle. Although this musket has a spring, it does not have a percussion cap. Instead, it uses a flint to ignite the fire, making it a type of flintlock rifle.

Strictly speaking, it's a flintlock, muzzle-loading rifle." "So, is it a good gun?"

"Yes."

Lin Ruoyu pondered for a moment.

"These three guns can be used to assassinate our targets."

After he said this, the other players became interested. They rushed to pick up the muzzle-loading rifles on the ground. There were only two rifles left on the ground, and there were four people present without guns. How could they not grab them?

The remaining two people were slow and failed to grab the muzzle-loading rifles, so they had to settle for the next best thing and pick up those multi-barreled pistols.

"What is this stuff?"

Lin Ruoyu walked over, picked up a pistol and took a look at it.

"It's a multi-barrel flintlock pistol. To use it, you pour black powder into the powder pool, trigger a lead bullet in one tube, then rotate the tube and continue pouring primer into the powder pool.

This pistol has six tubes, which can be pre-loaded with six lead bullets. The function of this thing is to allow you to load lead bullets in advance, saving you the effort of loading bullets one by one and speeding up the shooting speed.

However, the step of loading black powder cannot be skipped, and it can only be fired at close range, and the range should not exceed twenty meters.

In other words, this multi-barreled pistol is a self-defense weapon, useful, but not very powerful. To unleash its maximum power, it requires the cooperation of multiple people."

Lin Ruoyu's words disappointed the two players, but it was better than nothing.

"Hey, this NPC has something hidden in his crotch!"

A player suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of others.

Lin Ruoyu turned his head and saw that the NPC who had fought him equally had been stripped of his clothes and was lying naked on the ground with his eyes open.

"Hey, why are you taking off his clothes? He's dead..."

"If he dies, he dies. He's just an NPC."

The player who took off his clothes was somewhat indifferent to Lin Ruoyu's accusations.

"I think his clothes are pretty nice. I can take them home and wash off the blood stains and wear them again... If I hadn't taken off his clothes, I wouldn't have known he had something hidden in his crotch."

Lin Ruoyu sighed helplessly again. He didn't know how many times he had done this tonight.

"Let me see what it is."

Lin Ruoyu took it and looked at it. It was a hand-drawn map with a line and a timetable drawn on it.

"This terrain... is quite familiar."

Lin Ruoyu looked at it carefully for a while, then he took out the topographic map of Noble City given by Connie from his arms and put them together for comparison.

In comparison, except for Lin Ruoyu, all other players could see that the contents of the two maps were of the same place.

"It's a map of Noble City. What does this line and time mean?"

"They should be the targets of these three people's mission tonight. Like us, they are going into Noble City to assassinate someone."

Lin Ruoyu thought for a moment, then looked up and said to the four players.

"Two of us will take the body back, and the remaining two will take their rifles and follow me. Let's go in and take a look. Follow this map..."
