The Creators: From Night City

The X cultists suddenly jumped up, but instead of launching an attack, they fled backwards at a high speed.

Laura only felt a gust of wind passing by her. Jiang Bing caught up with the fleeing cultist at an absolutely leading speed, reached out from behind, grabbed his neck, and broke his spine with a slight force.

In order to prevent any mistakes, Jiang Bing punched the man on the back of the head again, ensuring that he died on the spot, and then threw the body into the grass.

"You, just killed him like that?!"

Laura was a little surprised.

"Believe me, if you had seen what they did, you wouldn't be asking that question."

"Besides, it's better for him to die than for us to die."

Laura opened her mouth. She was smart and naturally understood this truth. She didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only forcefully change the subject.

"You haven't found out the bishop's position yet?"

Jiang Bing listened attentively to the shouts and scolding coming from the direction where the X cultists were fleeing, and picked up [Big Chop Chop] from the ground and hung it behind his back.

"He's already told me."

Chapter 40 Don’t Speak Russian!

“Присматривайте за ними, не дайте им убежать.”

Following the direction in which the X cultists were fleeing, the two men had not walked far when they vaguely heard a sentence in Russian.

'The composition of the people on the island is quite mixed, and they seem to be from various countries,' Jiang Bing thought.

"They seem to have captured someone." Laura once again demonstrated her rich knowledge.

"Yes, we have sent people to guard it." Jiang Bing continued.

In Laura's astonished look of "You also know Russian", Jiang Bing raised his hand to signal that the enemy was spotted ahead.

The two men hid in the waist-high grass and carefully observed the enemy's situation.

This should be the main body of the shrine. A large number of wooden buildings of different heights surround a slightly lower shrine in the middle. These buildings are also lit with candlelight, and in the dim light you can see a large number of Shinto sculptures and ritual items inside.

Next to these buildings is a bonfire made of tin barrels.

There were crowds of people around the bonfire.

The person who spoke just now was indeed a Russian. At this moment, he was listening to the report from his subordinates.

And in the open space behind him, three prisoners were kneeling.

"It's the crew of the Endurance." Laura exclaimed softly.

As a huge ocean exploration ship, it is definitely impossible for Laura and her crew to operate it normally.

In fact, there were more than 20 staff members on board.

When the shipwreck happened, some people died directly in the sea, some followed Reyes and his crew on the lifeboat to the island, and the rest could only accept their fate.

These three unlucky guys should be like Laura, who fell into the sea and was washed ashore on the island by the waves, but their luck was even worse. They first encountered X cultists and then were pressed here like chicks.

He also had several guns pointed at his head.

Laura glanced at the situation on the field and made a decision without hesitation.

"We have to save them." As he spoke, he already had the short bow on his back in his hand.

The person needs to be saved. After all, that Russian guy looks like a bishop.

But Laura, you dare to fight with a dozen strong men with just a bow, which makes you no different from some residents of Night City.

Jiang Bing reached out and took off the 98K from his back and threw it to her.

"You know how to use it, right?"

"Of course!"

Laura pulled the bolt skillfully, checked the condition of the gun, and then stretched out her hand to Jiang Bing without any hesitation.

"?"

"bullet."

good good!

Jiang Bing took off the ammunition bag from his waist and threw it to Laura, then signaled her to hand him the bow and arrows.

Because they had to leave the person alive, the difficulty of this fight increased a lot in Jiang Bing's eyes.

Having seen Jiang Bing's ability, Laura had no doubt about his decision. She said, "I'll cover you," picked up her gun, found a big tree, and climbed to the top of it.

The dense leaves completely obscured Laura's figure. If it weren't for advance knowledge, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see that there was a person hiding in the tree in such a dark night.

Jiang Bing casually stretched Laura's bow into a full moon, and the feedback transmitted back by his hands was no different from those previous pieces of junk.

'Just make do with it.'

Jiang Bing disappeared into the darkness.

A cultist hummed a little tune and turned a corner of a building with a gun in hand. Just as he was out of sight of his teammates, an arrow flew from not far away, accurately entering his left temple and exiting his right temple.

The body fell to the ground with a loud noise, but fortunately the surrounding X cultists were relatively far away from him, so it didn't cause any splash.

Jiang Bing continued to crouch, crawling quickly and darkly in the shadows.

At the edge of the building, a X cultist who was leaning against a low wall had just lit a homemade cigarette when a strong arm quietly emerged from behind and tightly clamped around his neck.

Jiang Bing tightened his left arm, reducing the width of the X-cultist's neck by half, while not forgetting to use his right hand to take the cigarette out of his mouth.

I don't know what the tobacco leaves of this cigarette are, but it's so smokey that you can't open your eyes when it's lit.

"Smoking is harmful to health."

The body was dragged behind a low wall and hidden. Before leaving, Jiang Bing kindly helped him stamp out his cigarette butt.

The third victim soon appeared. He walked behind a tree, holding his crotch and cursing, and was about to release the water when he was shot in the head from behind by an arrow.

To be honest, this guy was quite cautious. For safety reasons, the place he chose to urinate was not completely out of the sight of other gang members.

Even though he was peeing behind a tree, he still deliberately left half of his body exposed.

But Jiang Bing shot the arrow almost at the opponent's head. After penetrating the skull, the arrow still came out and nailed the corpse to the tree.

In this way, the corpse used the arrow as a fixed point and stood against the tree in a strange leaning posture.

In addition, it was a dark and windy night, and at this distance other people could only see the outline, so this method could buy Jiang Bing a few minutes.

Looking at the water stains gradually spreading on the X-cultist's pants, Jiang Bing deliberately stayed away from him as he crawled past.

"It seems that I have been holding my pee for quite a long time."

The fourth victim's death was a bit unfair.

He was stabbed to death by Jiang Bing's arrow. He used too much force when drawing the bow just now. Although Laura's bow did not fall apart immediately, it might fall apart next time if it is used again.

The X-cult gang here should be the trusted force of the Russian bishop. Almost everyone of them has a gun, which makes Jiang Bing's idea of ​​picking up a bow come to nothing.

With perfect timing, Jiang Bing swaggered past a bright spot and touched the side of the shrine before everyone's eyes turned back.

Laura, who was hiding in the tree, was even more nervous than he was.

Jiang Bing looked up and glanced at the statue enshrined in the shrine through the gap in the railing. As expected, what caught his eye was Himiko's familiar big face.

"This person has a strong desire for control." Jiang Bing gave his assessment in his mind, thinking back to when he arrived on the island and saw that, apart from the two generals Feng Lei who were guarding the gate, he had hardly seen any other statues besides her.

'He must be holding a grudge.'

Turning to the back of the shrine, Jiang Bing used the low eaves of the shrine as a springboard and climbed onto the roof of the building behind the shrine.

The fifth victim was on guard on a higher roof.

Since this person's position was too conspicuous to be assassinated, Jiang Bing planned to use him as a signal for a shootout.

Of course, if the killing continues, Jiang Bing will most likely be exposed soon. After all, reality is not like a game. When there is almost no one left, the boss can still do what he wants as if nothing happened.

In fact, the fact that the man who peed his pants had not returned yet had already alerted the enemy. Jiang Bing had already seen someone walking towards the tree where the man who peed his pants was to check the situation.

There is no time to lose!

The little guy on the roof was hit hard without any psychological preparation.

[Big Chop] The slap from behind caused serious damage to him both mentally and physically.

So he decided to jump off the building to express his indignation.

Along with the corpse flying off the roof, there was also a kick technique that fell from the sky.

From a long distance, Jiang Bing kicked the bishop to the ground with a volley.

He restrained his strength in the kick and finally broke the Russian guy's ribs so many times that he barely saved his life.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"boom!"

Faint gunshots were heard, and a member of the X cult who was about to raise his gun to shoot was shot in the abdomen.

Although he did not die on the spot, the bullets rolling in his body left him completely exhausted, and he could only lie on the ground and struggle weakly.

As a companion, Laura is still very reliable. When the battle started, she decisively took the risk of being exposed and chose to shoot to cover.

Jiang Bing crouched down and dragged the bishop behind a shelter.

Jiang Bing waved his hand to push away the Russian's arm that was reaching for the holster on his thigh, and then he reached out and pulled the gun out of the holster.

Bring it to you!

This is a Colt M1911 pistol, a classic pistol model that cannot be more classic.

As soon as he got the gun in his hand, Jiang Bing knew that its previous owner had taken great care of it and the entire gun was in very good condition.

Under the humiliating gaze of the Russians, Jiang Bing paused his wrist slightly and easily completed the inertia loading with one hand. Then he moved his thumb back to hold the back end of the grip, and used the rest of his fingers to hold the rear sight and pull it back to open the ejection port, completing a handsome one-handed loading inspection.

"Nice gun."

After adding a punch to break the Russian's attempt to struggle, Jiang Bing leaned out from the cover and fired two shots, accurately shooting the heads of the two enemies who were trying to get closer.

In fact, Jiang Bing fought quite conservatively. If he switched to Night City weapons, he would have to pay attention to safety. However, it was unknown whether the scrap metal in these people's hands could penetrate Jiang Bing's current body.

But Jiang Bing didn't want to be hit by a bullet to test its quality.

Following his familiar instinct, Jiang Bing retreated into cover to avoid the incoming bullets, then immediately rushed out from the other side of the cover.

Just as he was about to raise his gun to kill the enemy who was just emerging from behind the cover, the sound of 98K gunfire rang out again, and the bullet pierced the man's chest in advance.

'Reliable!'

Next came the time to test reaction. Whenever someone tried to lean out from the cover and shoot, he would be greeted with a bullet.

You can stick your head out to hit the head, stretch out your hand to hit the hand, or even shoot with faith, and the bullet will accurately hit the vulnerable part of the gun body.

The bullets were so accurate that it was as if they fired first, and after determining where the bullet would land, they took the initiative to move forward.

The crisp sound of 98K gunfire never stopped. Although Laura's shooting skills were not as accurate as Jiang Bing's, the good shooting range brought by her high position made the cover of this X-cultist basically useless.

With the Grim Reaper calling out their names inside and snipers occupying the commanding heights outside, the remaining enemies were wiped out before they could even make a single wave.

"If you don't die, then who will? You light up your house brightly in the middle of the night, afraid you'll get shot."

Jiang Bing sighed.

"Laura!"

From the moment Jiang Bing fell from the sky, the three people who fell to the ground like bean worms miraculously did not suffer any harm.

However, looking at their skillful movements, Jiang Bing reasonably guessed that these three sailors were most likely from the free America.

"Charlie, Tom, Andrew, I'm glad to see you. Are you all safe?" Laura walked forward with a gun and greeted them one by one.

The sailor named Tom was obviously the closest to Laura. "They haven't had time to do anything to us yet. They just forced us to join them."

The Sun Brotherhood's recruitment ceremony is extremely simple: they capture a group of newly arrived castaways and give them two choices: join them or die.

Those who choose to join will be taken to the church headquarters to complete the "initiation ceremony."

That is to say, it is a token of surrender.

"Are you three the only ones here? Have you seen any other crew members?"

Hearing her question, sadness and regret welled up on Tom's face, which had originally survived the disaster.
