Chapter 192 People Flying in the Sky
The people of Cox Village advanced while dismantling traps.
Using thick blocks of ice and snow to pave the way, they covered the spiked boards underneath.
The traps set by Steven were relatively simple and once exposed, they were indeed easy to avoid.
Steven took note of this issue and planned to enhance it next time.
There were two routes from outside Emerald Estate to 101, one from the south gate and one from the west gate.
The people of Cox Village came from the south, so they all gathered on the southern road.
Steven didn't pay them any mind.
Because these villagers couldn't possibly imagine how fortified a shelter could be, they probably thought this shelter was also made of reinforced concrete, something they could easily break into.
This ignorance would cost them their lives.
Steven raised his head and looked into the distance through the sniper scope.
What he really cared about wasn't these villagers but the Ice and Snow Psychic he encountered last time.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any changes in the wind and snow.
Steven frowned slightly, a bit puzzled about whether the Ice and Snow Psychic would show up.
Cox Town, as the name suggested, had a significant number of people with the surname Cox, and they were related.
The town was bound by blood, a tapestry woven from generations of shared history and kinship.
And with these villagers attacking, it didn't make sense for that Psychic to watch them die without using his supernatural abilities to help clear the snow and traps.
'Did he really not come? Was he injured by my stray bullet last time?' Thinking of this, Steven relaxed, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. 'Better if he's dead!'
At this moment, on the southern road facing the shelter, hundreds of Cox Village villagers were advancing slowly.
As they dismantled trap after trap, their pace quickened a bit.
After all, as they got closer, they could clearly see the luxury inside the villa!
In the past, only top-tier billionaires and powerful people could live in Emerald Estate, with the cheapest unit costing over a hundred million dollars!
Every house was decorated and furnished with the finest materials.
Even the curtains on the windows were made of high-quality fabric.
And as if to amplify this display of luxury, two figures, beautiful and alluring, graced the window with their presence.
A young man started breathing heavily, his steps becoming hurried.
Nora, looking at the dense crowd approaching, felt her heart pounding with anxiety and instinctively took a few steps back.
But beside her, Elinor just looked at the people calmly and sighed softly. "How many will die this time?"
Nora hugged her ample chest, her face pale. "Steven... where did Steven go? So many people... will they break in?"
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if those men broke in.
No matter what, Steven had been relatively gentle with her and hadn't forced her to do anything.
But these villagers gave her a real sense of apocalyptic refugees.
Their eyes, filled with greed, lust, violence, and excitement, were terrifying.
Elinor looked at the frightened Nora and smiled smugly. "Is this all it takes to scare you? With such courage, how can you stay by Steven's side in the future?" She raised her elegant chin, displaying her slender neck akin to a swan's.
Elinor had stayed with Steven in Sunshine Community for a month, experiencing countless schemes and betrayals, and had witnessed Steven killing many people.
What was happening now was just a small scene for her. She knew Steven had already planned how these people would die.
Following a man as cautious as Steven, one would feel a strong sense of security in the apocalypse! Even standing by the window, watching so many people approach, Elinor didn't feel a trace of fear.
On the second floor, Steven, like an experienced hunter, waited for his prey to enter his trap.
The crowd was less than 160 feet from the villa.
Steven confirmed the density of the crowd and first activated the villa's active noise-canceling function.
The outside noise disappeared instantly; even the wind couldn't be heard.
Then, he decisively pressed the electronic button in his hand.
A loud roar erupted in the middle of the road outside the villa!
Even with the noise-canceling function on, the explosion was still clearly audible.
A burst of fire erupted from the snow, lighting up the night like daylight.
Large chunks of colorful fireworks flew into the sky.
Steven squinted and realized they weren't fireworks but shattered bodies wrapped in clothes.
Even the specially-designed glass of the villa couldn't fully subdue the blinding flash of light as a chorus of landmines detonated mere feet away.
Steven couldn't hear the cries outside.
But he could clearly see the carnage.
The road in the community and the garden in front of the villa were over 50 feet wide, but the explosion created a 16-foot-deep crater in the ground!
Even the concrete under the snow was blown apart!
The landmine explosion occurred right in the middle of the Cox Village team, instantly killing dozens of people.
The shockwave from the explosion also sent others flying.
Those who landed in the snow found themselves surrounded by traps they hadn't cleared.
Spiked boards and bear traps, the most primitive traps, now caused immense harm to the people of Cox Village.
Steven watched them, mouths agape, clutching their feet, chests, or faces in pain.
Those parts were deeply pierced by the spiked boards, with nails and screws embedded deeply!
Some were caught in bear traps, struggling desperately to free themselves, tearing their feet off in the process!
Witnessing the carnage was intolerable for Steven. He shook his head, sighing out of helplessness. "If only there were more landmines, I could kill them all and spare them the prolonged suffering."
Outside the villa, the screams were like those from a graveyard.
Elinor and Nora, seeing this, couldn't help but take several steps back.
Through the glass, they saw some people stumbling forward, their faces twisted in agony, begging for help.
"Help me. Please help me!"
A villager with only half a body crawled over, his eyes fixed on Nora, pleading for help.
As for his lower half, it was a gruesome sight.
Nora's hair stood on end, and she suddenly felt a surge in her throat, bending over to vomit.
Even the battle-hardened Elinor turned pale and looked away.
Only Steven remained unmoved by the scene.
After all, he had experienced too many life-and-death situations. When one saw death often, what was there to fear?
