Zhao Lei followed them for about half an hour, when the person in front stopped on a flat ground.
Next to the flat ground was a ditch that had long since dried up. There were bones criss-crossing the ditch, whether they belonged to humans or other animals.
People have long been accustomed to it, just placing their packages on the ground and leaning against each other to conserve their strength.
After a while, people stood up in twos and threes. They found people they knew well and formed small groups with clear distinctions.
As a small group, some of them went to collect dry firewood, while others were setting up a place to rest for the night. After a while, there were seven or eight fires of various sizes. They took out some broken pots and boiled some unknown things in them. food.
There were also some thin people who were alone and didn't even have a package with them. They just found some weeds and lay on them quietly.
Zhao Lei found a place a little away from them, then took out some rags from the package and spread them on the ground. He did not set up a tent because he did not want to appear too different.
In addition, the current temperature at night is not too cold. It will be a little cooler in the morning. Zhao Lei's body is unlikely to be infected with wind and cold.
Zhao Lei was pretending to sleep, leaning against a dead tree, holding a knife in his arms, hoping to draw it as quickly as possible to protect himself. At this moment, more than ten people came from the front of the team, holding sticks in their hands. of refugees.
These people came to the side of the other refugees with sticks in their hands, and those people were very conscious and gave some of the meager food in their hands to them. It can be seen from their behavior that this is already on the way to escape. It’s a normal state.
And these dozen or so slightly stronger refugees didn't get the job done.
It's just that every time they eat, they collect some food from their hands instead of directly grabbing everything in their hands. Maybe they are also afraid that other refugees will resist.
After all, starving to death and being beaten to death are both consequences, and maybe some people will rise up to resist.
Soon these people came to Zhao Lei,
They were relatively "fierce and burly" among this group of people. They saw that Zhao Lei was tall and had a knife in his hand, so they did not come directly. They waited for everyone to gather before approaching Zhao Lei from all sides.
Seeing these people surrounding him, Zhao Lei didn't panic. After a period of life and death, his heart had already become indifferent. He stood up with a package on his back and a knife in his hand.
Seeing Zhao Lei stand up, these people subconsciously took a few steps back and distanced themselves.
From among these people, a seven-foot-tall strong man walked out. He was the only refugee among them who looked like he had not suffered from hunger.
He was holding a long stick, wearing a short linen shirt, with his chest open and hairy, looking like a black bear.
He also had these two scars on his face, from the corners of his eyes to his chin, his face was unshaven, and his eyes had a fierce look. Combined with his strong muscles, he looked extremely fierce.
After this person came out, he didn't speak first. Instead, he looked Zhao Lei up and down, smiled twice, and said:
"Brother, from the look of you, you must be a practicing martial artist. I am not very talented and am known as the 'Black Bear' in the world.
You are quite famous in this area. As long as your brother hands over the valuable things he has on you, it doesn't have to be too much, just half of it, then your brother will protect you and keep you safe along the way. "
After hearing what the black-haired bear said, Zhao Lei didn't take it seriously. After beating the black-haired bear, he carefully observed it and found that the black-haired bear was indeed a trainer, but he didn't practice much.
His legs were weak and weak, and it looked like he had not practiced his lower body skills well. Apart from the chest hair on his chest and the scars on his face, which were a bit deceptive, he was no better than a street gangster at best.
Of course, even so, this black-furred bear is the most powerful among the group of people. Others dare not disobey him. Those who dare to disobey him have already had their legs broken by him and fed to wild beasts.
This black-furred bear saw that Zhao Lei did not follow what he said, and his face was full of contempt, and he suddenly became angry.
The black bear didn't want to use force at first, but Zhao Lei had already put him on a stand. If he didn't react at all, it would be a provocation to his majesty and would seriously threaten his current position as the boss.
This is a black-haired bear, which is completely intolerable. He was just a gangster leader before, and he only had a few subordinates. How can he be like now when he has hundreds of people in his hands, and whether life or death all depends on his hands? .
But the black-furred bear did not step forward easily. He played a trick and turned his head to look at a confidant under his hand.
Then that person obviously didn't want to step forward. He bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. He was a good player, but he didn't want to go up and fight when he encountered a tough situation.
But when this man thought of the black-haired bear's methods of dealing with those disobedient people in the past, he couldn't help but shudder. Then he emboldened himself, holding sticks in both hands, and rushed forward.
He obviously wanted to sneak attack while Zhao Lei didn't react.
But how could Zhao Lei make such a stupid mistake? Since these people gathered around and showed hostility, he has been paying attention to their movements.
The look that the black-haired bear gave was not only seen by his confidants, but also by Zhao Lei.
So when this man rushed over with sticks in both hands, Zhao Lei drew his sword and struck, only to see a flash of sword light, and then Zhao Lei dodged past.
The man only had time to swing down half of his long stick before he fell to the ground.
Large pools of blood spurted out from his neck. He covered his neck tightly with both hands, but he still couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.
There was blood gurgling from his mouth, and he was speaking incomprehensible and meaningless words. After struggling twice, he closed his eyes unwillingly.
Others didn't react at all, and then saw that the person on their side had fallen to the ground, making no sound.
The black bear was even more frightened. He brought himself to the position of his confidant, and he found that he was no match for the stranger in front of him. He was able to withstand three moves, which still put him in a good position.
The black bear was scared to death, but he didn't dare to show it, lest it ruin his prestige.
But his pale face and the droplets of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead had completely betrayed his current state of mind.
After Zhao Lei dealt with this little guy, he looked around.
One of the Black Bear boys was so frightened that he trembled after seeing the look in Zhao Lei's eyes. Then he heard a scream. He threw the stick in his hand, fell to the ground in fright, and crawled back on his hands and feet. go.
