Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 46: The cycle of natural law and retribution

"It's burning!"

The beggars on the city wall cheered.

Under the night sky, a bright flame rose up in the Jiehu camp in the distance, so dazzling.

The flames that shot up into the sky engulfed a ladder in a very short time.

"Ah~~~"

The unfortunate Jie Hu also had flames coming out of his body.

He slapped himself hard, rolled around on the ground, and smeared the dirt on his legs.

But he could never extinguish the fire in his body.

If it is at the beginning, just take off the clothes and throw them away.

If the skin and flesh on the body are contaminated, you can simply cut it off with a knife and save your life.

But he kept slapping himself and rolling around, and the result was that the flames quickly spread throughout his body.

A colleague brought a bucket of water and poured it over his head.

The result was that the fire grew larger instantly and directly engulfed the people.

Jie Hu was dumbfounded. How could the fire not be put out?
"Save me~~~"

The Jiehu, engulfed by the flames, let out a heart-wrenching howl and pounced on his comrades beside him.

The comrade who was caught off guard was hugged and the flames burned his body.

Jiehu was frightened to death and struggled desperately with punches and kicks, trying to push the fire man away.

However, just like a person who falls into the water, he will desperately grab at a life-saving straw.

Jie Hu, whose whole body was on fire, held his comrade tightly, as if he wanted to transfer his pain away and seek that slim glimmer of hope for survival.

It only takes a cup of hot tea.

The two Jiehu hugged each other tightly, and their screams gradually stopped, and they turned into burning torches.

Some of the Jiehu people around were frightened to death.

The scene before my eyes was truly too terrifying.

The drone flew back to the top of the city wall. Qin Lang and others, smiling happily, quickly stepped forward and hung up another large glass jar.

In a siege, the biggest threat to the defenders is the large siege equipment.

For every siege engine, the defenders had to sacrifice at least hundreds of lives before they could destroy it.

At this moment, in front of Langzhu's mechanical beast, it was burned so easily.

Qin Lang and others had only one thought in their minds.

"The most beautiful thing in the world is that the Lord is our Lord~~~"

If the host is the enemy on the opposite side.

Even just thinking about this kind of thing makes me shudder.

Three large siege machines caught fire one after another, and the sharpshooters guarding the granaries in various places hurriedly rode their horses over.

They followed the trajectory of the drone in the sky and rushed out of the camp.

Holding a strong bow and a sharp arrow, he locked onto the drone with a gaze as sharp as a night falcon and shot the arrow.

The shell of civilian drones is mainly made of carbon fiber.

Unable to withstand the continuous sharp arrows, it was penetrated and damaged its internal electronic components. It rolled to the ground, splashing a large fireball.

The Jiehu cheered and finally shot down the strange bird in the sky.

As long as you can shoot them down, those strange birds are nothing to be afraid of!

The morale that had dropped due to the divine fire from the sky also recovered.

Qin Lang and others on the city wall saw Fei Luan being shot down before he even entered the Jie camp.

They beat their chests and stamped their feet, sobbing and crying, as if they had lost the most precious treasure in the world.

For them, the flying phoenix is ​​truly a treasure.

Lin Dao took a deep breath and signaled Liu Hu, who was standing beside him, to drag another drone box over from the one placed not far away.

He has dozens of boxes like this.

"The Eagle Shooter?"

Install the battery, start debugging, and hang up the payload.

The new drone took off again, "and it's quite accurate."

"This time I'll fly 200 meters high and shoot one for me!"

As the altitude increases, the hit rate will inevitably decrease.

Although the drone, which flew to an altitude of 200 meters, was no longer hit, several rounds of incendiary canisters dropped by it failed to hit the target.

He saw that the Jiehu below were already pushing the siege equipment with all their might, trying to disperse them.

Lin Dao quickly came up with a solution.

Take a high-intensity flashlight, shrink it, and hang it vertically downward on the drone to secure it.

Naturally, there is no question of precision in this thing.

But compared with the previous blind investment, the accuracy has been greatly improved.

After all, siege equipment is huge and heavy, so you just need to cover it with a vertical downward beam of light and then put it down and unhook it.

The drone takes off, drops, lands, changes batteries and mounts payloads one after another.

This cycle repeated itself, and the hundreds of siege weapons that the Later Zhao army had painstakingly built were all transformed into torches under the night sky.

The Jiehu also put up a fierce resistance.

The rain of arrows rising into the sky is the best proof.

But faced with technological advancements spanning millennia, their resistance seemed useless.

Later on, Jiehu simply gave up completely.

No more shooting arrows, no more pouring water to try to put out the fire, and no more pushing the siege engines to move.

Many Jiehu people watched from afar, silently observing the strange birds in the sky continuously laying fire eggs, engulfing the siege equipment they had built in a sea of ​​fire.

"almost."

After retracting the drone, Lin Dao stood up and said, "I'm a little tired from staying up all night. I'm going to go back and rest. You guys keep a close eye on this side."

Qin Lang and the others, filled with admiration, shouted and saluted. "Farewell, Master~~~"

Back in the dormitory in the modern world, Lin Dao fell asleep.

'I'm not a scumbag, I don't like Lei~~~'

I don’t know how long it was before Lin Dao was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.

The number on the screen looked familiar.

Lin Dao, lying on the bed, squinted his eyes and slid his fingers. "Who is it?"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then crying sounds were heard.

'Woooooo~~~'

"Lin Dao~it's me~~"

The voice was familiar; it was that of the ex-girlfriend who had thrown herself into the arms of the domineering CEO.

Lin Dao instantly perked up and sat up. "Well, go ahead."

The ex-girlfriend started to tell the story with tears and sobs.

'~He opened a company for me~'

"The company has to pay compensation if something goes wrong~"

"He didn't help me, and asked me to accompany the client~"

"I refused, so he beat me and asked me to pay compensation."

"I'm pregnant~"

"Lin Dao, please help me~~~"

Lin Dao gritted his teeth and suppressed his laughter.

He stuffed his phone under his pillow, pounded the mattress, and laughed until he fell down.

"It's a natural cycle, retribution is inevitable~~~"

“Those who come back from studying abroad are all into playing around.”

“That’s all sizes used.”

"You have no connections or background, and you're not even close to being a good match. You only have a pretty face, and yet you're still dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family."

"You deserve it after someone gets tired of you and then uses you and abandons you~~~"

The fatigue from last night was instantly swept away.

Lin Dao was greatly encouraged. He controlled his emotions, took out his cell phone and put it to his ear.

"It's too much!"

Lin Dao's words were filled with anger. "What a scum, what a scum!"

"How could he do this to you? You love him so much!"

"Actually, he's quite nice to me." The ex-girlfriend quietly defended the boss. "He took me to a Michelin restaurant and bought me a lot of gifts."

Lin Dao raised his eyebrows. Isn’t it just spending money? There is no skill involved in this kind of thing.

If you have money, who wouldn't?

"Then what do you think now?"

Lin Dao asked again, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"Lin Dao." The ex-girlfriend asked cautiously, "Can you lend me some money?"

"Let me pay back the money I owe you first."

"Hehe~~~" Lin Dao narrowed his eyes. "You know my situation too. How can I lend you money?"

"If I had money, I'd give you whatever you want!"

The ex-girlfriend was obviously moved and choked up again, "You are so nice. I regret leaving you."

"Heh~~~"

Lin Dao looked up and spat at the ceiling.

You regret it so much~~~
Since I couldn’t borrow the money, my ex-girlfriend had other tricks up her sleeve.

"Lin Dao, I'm pregnant now."

"I want to give birth to the baby."

"That's a good thing~~~" Lin Dao said with a smile, "Maybe that boss will chase you back for the sake of the child."

"Yeah, yeah." The ex-girlfriend laughed. "That's what I thought too."

"Um~~" she changed the subject, "It's not a good condition for me to have a baby now."

The ex-girlfriend's voice became lower and lower. "Can you help me?"

When she stuck out her butt like that, Lin Dao knew what she wanted to say.

I sneered in my heart, but said softly, "Just tell me what's wrong. I will help you if I can!"

"I want to get back together with you."

The ex-girlfriend hurriedly explained, "It's a fake one. I also said the child is yours, so no one will say anything bad about me."

"Do you think it's okay?"

"Hey~~~"

Lin Dao snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, I'll definitely help you if I can."

"When you give birth, you must tell me, and I will go to the hospital to give you milk powder."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dao threw it away.

"You're taking me for a fool? You're treating me like a bootlicker?"

"Give birth to the baby, and give birth to it safely."

"You are a homeless person, let's see how you support yourself!"

"It would be best if I had a son. Then when I want to find an honest man to take over, no one will want him!"

Feeling refreshed, Lin Dao didn't sleep anymore. He got up, hummed a song, got dressed, and went to the restaurant for dinner.

Today is a happy day, so we must go to a restaurant and have a big meal to celebrate.
