Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 27 Ambush

After walking along the road in the sealed-off area for a while, Lin Qiong and the others...

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

The gunshot made everyone think that the Silvermane Iron Guards had caught up, and they all drew their weapons and looked around warily.

Lin Qiong and the others observed for a while, but did not find any Silver Mane Iron Guards.

Just then, a scream drew the attention of Lin Qiong and the others. The scream was accompanied by faint sounds of fighting.

Danheng gestured for the others to be quiet, then began searching for the source of the sound nearby.

Following the sound, they arrived at a location isolated by a large iron gate.

On the other side of the iron gate, several Silvermane Iron Guards were fighting a Rift creature.

Behind these Silvermane Iron Guards in the midst of battle, a Silvermane Iron Guard with both arms severed lay on the ground.

Based on this, it is highly likely that the Silvermane Iron Guard lost both arms while fighting the Rift creature.

Ordinary people often need to rely on sheer numbers to defeat creatures from the Rift Realm.

However, judging from the current situation, even with a large number of people, it is impossible to avoid casualties when facing the Rift creatures with strange abilities.

The battle ended when a Silvermane Iron Guard, under the cover of his comrades, pierced the body of the Rift creature with his axe-spear.

"Prioritize checking everyone's injuries! Those who can still move should evacuate the unconscious!"

"We must defend this area until Lady Bronya arrives!"

After the battle ended, a Silvermane Iron Guard who looked like the captain gave a loud command.

When the Silvermane Iron Guard mentioned Bronya's name, Lin Qiong and the others exchanged glances.

March 7: "I didn't expect that even after we've run into the Rift, she still doesn't intend to let us go."

What should we do now?

“We need to find a way out before a large number of Silvermane Iron Guards come in,” Danheng said slowly, resting his chin on his hand.

"But there are too many narrow paths and dead ends here, making it difficult to find the right way."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong patted his chest confidently and said:

"Finding directions? I know this place well!"

“Go back to the road we came from, follow the road and you’ll see an iron gate. Open the gate and you can go out.”

After saying that, Xing looked at Lin Qiong with a puzzled expression.

Have you been here before?

“No.” Lin Qiong shook his head. “But I do know which way to go.”

Back in the game, when he was searching for treasure chests for Xingqiong, he ran to every corner of every map.

Although I haven't reached the point where I can walk with my eyes closed, finding a way out is still quite simple.

"Let's not dwell on this for now. The most important thing right now is to get out of here."

"I'll lead the way, you all stay close to me."

Lin Qiong waved to signal the others to follow him, and then led them toward the "Rift" teleportation portal.

Along the way, Lin Qiong, relying on his familiarity with the area, smoothly led everyone to the large iron gate.

"arrive."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Qiong walked into the alley on the left and activated the mechanism to control the iron gate.

After the mechanism was activated, the iron gate slowly rose, making a series of creaking sounds.

"That way we can leave this place," Lin Qiong said calmly.

Watching Lin Qiong complete all of this so effortlessly, as if he were a native of this place.

Everyone looked surprised and full of questions, but before they could ask, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"You can't go anywhere."

Lin Qiong and the others turned around in the direction of the sound and saw that Bronya had already caught up with a group of Silvermane Iron Guards.

Sensing something was amiss, the group exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus, then fled rapidly in the direction the iron gate had opened.

Bronya wasn't in a hurry as everyone left; instead, she leisurely followed behind Lin Qiong and the others.

Although everyone who saw this was very puzzled, the current situation did not allow them to think too much, and they quickened their pace and ran towards the exit of the "rift".

Just as everyone was about to run out of the narrow passage, a large number of Silver Mane Iron Guards suddenly appeared in the area where the "Rift" exit was located, blocking Lin Qiong and the others' way.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong and the others quickly stopped, and the sound of high heels clicking on the ground could be heard behind them.

“I told you, you can’t go anywhere.”

Bronya, who had been leisurely following behind, caught up at this moment.

"Oh no...we really got caught up..."

March 7th chuckled wryly and scratched his head as he spoke.

"They even set up an ambush..."

She looked up at the Silvermane Iron Guards standing on the high walls on both sides, holding rifles, and couldn't help but sigh.

Dan Heng frowned, gripping the Ji Yun sword in his hand, and looked around as if facing a formidable enemy.

This situation is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

The long weapon Jiyun cannot exert its full power in narrow terrain, so in urban warfare, only Lin Qiong and Xing are left who can exert their full strength.

"The escape game is over. Put down your weapons and come back with me."

"This is your last chance. If you continue to resist, we will take the necessary measures."

However, just as Bronya had said, the Silvermane Guards on the high wall cocked their rifles, making a series of "click" sounds.

He then aimed his loaded rifle at Lin Qiong and his group below.

At this moment, March 7th helplessly spread his hands and asked Bronya in confusion:

"I really don't understand what crime we committed that made you keep chasing us all the way here."

"My orders are to arrest you. The detailed charges and sentences will be explained to you by the arbitration panel."

Bronya answered expressionlessly.

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

Lin Qiong summoned his bat, gripped it tightly in his hand, and then raised it, pointing it at Bronya.

"Friend or foe, the choice is yours!"

"Stubborn to the end!"

Bronya waved her hand, and the Silvermane Iron Guards on the high wall immediately pulled the trigger.

However, as the rifle trigger was pulled, no gunshot was heard that would have been heard when the bullet was fired.

The Silvermane Iron Guards on the high wall pulled the trigger several times in succession, but their rifles still did not respond.

"It's ice! The gun barrel is blocked by ice!"

A Silvermane Iron Guard inspected the rifle in his hand and shouted.

Meanwhile, March 7th, the culprit, stuck out his tongue at the Silvermane Iron Guard above and made a mischievous face.

Provoked, the Silvermane Iron Guards angrily threw their rifles aside, grabbed their halberds, and jumped down from the high wall.

However, the narrow terrain could not accommodate so many people, and the Silvermane Iron Guards also used long-handled weapons, which could not be wielded freely in this terrain.

If several people attack together, it is easy to accidentally injure teammates.

With a single blow, Lin Qiong sent the last Silvermane Iron Guard in front of him flying backwards behind Bronya.

"Although we can't escape from this terrain, it seems like your men can't catch us either."

Lin Qiong raised an eyebrow, pointed at Bronya with his baseball bat, and said in a slightly provocative tone.

Bronya glanced at the Silvermane Iron Guard who had been knocked to her side, then reached for the rifle tucked into her waistband.

"Let's all go back."

Bronya knew that the Silvermane Iron Guards alone wouldn't be able to capture these people, so she pointed her gun at Lin Qiong and the others.

"These evil scoundrels and villains—I'll deal with them!"
