Zoya is a very filial daughter. She could have had a better life, but she stayed in the team to take care of her mother.
Andre felt relieved a little, but couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute, you haven't answered me yet, why do you want Zoya to go to the city with this guy?"
"Why do you have so many questions? Have you finished your work?"
Father Bai changed the subject, scolded Andre, and then turned around and left.
The reason why he let Zhuo Ya and Xu Cheng go to the city together was to create an opportunity for Xu Cheng to have something happen between the two of them.
For Zoya's sake, Xu Cheng might be able to continue to protect the safety of the convoy like Oleg.
If Xu Cheng wants to take Zhuo Ya and her mother away, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the team. There will be two less mouths to eat, and Zhuo Ya will be missing the time bomb. Beautiful women will always bring trouble.
Father Bai thought a lot, but he never considered that there was nothing between Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya.
"Daddy Bayi! Dad Bayi!"
Andre shouted a few times, and when he saw Father Bayi leaving without looking back, he didn't dare to catch up and ask for fear of angering his father and being driven away.
On the other side, Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya have arrived outside the small town.
Around this small town, a high wall has been built with bricks and stones to ward off mutated beasts in the wild.
The guards on the wall shouted down, asking about their origins and purpose.
After Zoya explained clearly, the gate of the small town opened, and the guards welcomed them in with some vigilance.
Just as a convoy is afraid of being killed and robbed when entering the city, the city is also afraid of this kind of convoy of unknown origin. Bandits like to pretend to be a convoy transporting supplies, and then cooperate with outsiders to invade small towns, burn, kill and loot. This is how many towns were destroyed.
After confirming that the two men were not carrying weapons, the guards took them to see the current mayor of this small town.
Along the way, Xu Cheng didn't see many living people. When he came to a few streets in the city center, it became more lively, but the number of people was still small. Most of the people were sallow and thin, and the population of the entire town did not exceed 3,000.
The mayor is a gray-haired middle-aged man who is hospitable. After hearing that the two were sent by a convoy to exchange supplies, he expressed a warm welcome.
Transactions like this are generally not rejected. People in the city also need to rely on outside fleets to provide some necessary supplies, such as the most important fuel, so they don't dare to do anything to their fleets transporting supplies.
Zhuo Ya took out a piece of paper from his body and wrote down the things the fleet lacked. The mayor also asked his secretary to list the supplies that were urgently needed in the city. The two parties could trade after calculating the value.
Because it would take some time to prepare supplies and it was snowing heavily outside, the mayor warmly invited the two of them to stay for lunch.
Xu Cheng took the opportunity to ask the mayor about the situation in Kharkov. It was not far from Kharkov and could be reached in two days' drive.
The mayor knew Kharkov quite well and did not hide anything. He told Xu Cheng everything he knew.
As the second largest city in Ukraine, Kharkiv is second to none in the country in terms of population and economy.
After the disaster, the Ukrainian government collapsed. After experiencing a large number of warlords and able-bodied melee in Kharkov, it has now temporarily maintained peace. An alliance composed of several able-bodied forces rules Kharkov.
However, it was precisely because of the chaos that Kharkiv did not pledge allegiance to the Goddess of Winter or the Winter of the Celestial Clan, but maintained a neutral stance.
Both ordinary people and people with abilities will move to big cities like Kharkiv.
Ordinary people need order and security, while capable people need opportunities to get ahead.
Right now, this small town originally had a population of 5,000, but every day people drag their families and leave for Kharkov. Now there are less than 3,000 people left in the entire town.
The mayor is already considering whether to take all his men to Kharkov.
As for the war between the Goddess of Winter and Zhi Dong, it is still very fierce. A large number of soldiers and ability users are thrown into the battlefield every day.
However, the battlefield is located in the Dongwu area and is far away, so they are not too worried here.
By the time the mayor finished preparing a batch of supplies he wanted to trade, it was already afternoon.
The supplies were delivered to the city gate, while Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya returned to the convoy, preparing for the convoy to bring the supplies to the town gate for trading.
The snow was still falling heavily in the sky. When the two returned to the camp, Xu Cheng suddenly noticed something was wrong - it was too quiet in the camp, with no sound at all.
His electromagnetic induction barely penetrated the heavy snow in front of him, covering the entire camp, and he instantly understood what was happening.
"The mayor is really a good person, and he is also quite healthy. He is much better than Father Bai..."
Zoya was still talking about what she had seen in the city, but her tone suddenly stopped. With sharp eyes, she suddenly noticed a black man lying at the entrance of the camp.
She thought someone had fainted and rushed to rescue him, but when she got closer, she suddenly trembled and her eyes widened in horror.
This is not a living person, but a corpse, and it is a corpse that has been burned to char.
In shock, Zoya's mind went blank. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he immediately ran towards the camp.
Xu Cheng did not follow, but flew into the air to look for the murderer.
After Zoya rushed into the camp, she saw a scene that made her despair. There were charred corpses lying everywhere in the camp, as well as some people who had not been burned clean. They were all faces she was very familiar with in the past.
She froze for a moment, then rushed towards her mother's tent like crazy.
After a while, the sound of painful crying came from inside.
Everyone in the camp died, and Zoya, the mentally disturbed mother, was no exception.
She wanted to lie down on her mother's body and cry bitterly.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He stood up hurriedly and shouted under the quilt: "Come out!"
There was no movement in the bed. Zoya immediately stretched out his hand to lift the quilt and found that Andre, who looked frightened, was hiding under his mother's body.
With tears on her face, she asked blankly: "Andre, why are you here?"
Andre slowly sat up from the bed, his eyes evasive, not daring to look at Zoya.
Zoya understood in an instant that Andre was secretly using her mother as a shield to attract the murderer's attention and escape.
She raised her hand, slapped Andre hard, and shouted loudly: "Are you still a man? Are you using the old man as a shield?"
Unexpectedly, these words also completely angered Andre.
He also slapped Zoya with his backhand, then rushed over and strangled her neck.
“Bitch!
It's all your fault, why didn't you obey that man last night? Why resist? You killed everyone! "
Zoya couldn't breathe and wanted to open Andre's hand, but as a woman, she couldn't match Andre's strength, so she could only subconsciously touch her back, looking for the knife hidden in her waist.
Andre's eyes were as red as a wild beast, and he vented all the grievances he had suffered during this period on his fiancée.
"If you hadn't picked that man up in the car, this wouldn't have happened today."
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"
Zoya had already lost consciousness. He successfully grabbed the knife with his right hand, but was weak due to lack of oxygen.
At this moment, Andre felt numb all over his body, as if he had touched a wire, and his hands twitched.
Zoya finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to pull out the knife from his waist, and stabbed Andre into the stomach.
Andre screamed in pain, fell on his back, covered his stomach with his hands, and screamed on the ground.
Zoya also fell to the ground, gasping for fresh air.
Xu Cheng walked in from the tent, looked down at Andre who fell on the ground, and asked, "Is the murderer Oleg?"
Andre endured the pain and shouted: "Yes, it's him, it was you couple of bitches who killed everyone, it's all your fault!
"
After Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya entered the city, Andre was depressed and secretly hid in Zhuo Ya's mother's tent to drink.
Because her mother is mentally ill and usually a little crazy, almost no one comes to this place, making it a good place to be lazy.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few sips, I heard screams coming from outside.
Andre put his head out to take a look and found that it was Oleg who came back again and again, killing everyone he saw in the camp.
He saw with his own eyes that Father Bayi knelt in front of Oleg and begged for forgiveness, but was still burned to charcoal by a fire.
Of course, the rest of the convoy did not wait to die, and took up arms to resist, but even if they tried their best, they could not be a match for Oleg, a powerful person, and they were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
Of course Andre didn't have the courage to rush out and fight, so he hid back in the tent in fear.
In order to save his life, he finally hid in Zhuoya's mother's bed and told Zhuoya's mother that men outside were bullying her daughter.
Although Zoya's mother was crazy, she loved her daughter very much. When she heard someone bullying her daughter, she immediately cursed and lured Oleg over.
】
Oleg found out that she was a madman, so he just killed her and left the tent without staying to take a closer look, which allowed Andrei to escape.
After hearing Andrei say that Oleg was the murderer of his mother, Zoya collapsed on the ground and turned pale.
Xu Cheng also didn't expect that Oleg would be such an old man, sneaking away and coming back, just to kill him.
And instead of looking for the two real owners, Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya, he killed everyone in the convoy. Could it be that after leaving last night, this guy felt that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he would lose, and then he I don't dare to seek revenge from Xu Cheng, so I just kill everyone in the team to vent my anger. That's too low.
The time chosen was just right. Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya entered the city. The heavy snowfall seriously interfered with his electromagnetic induction and did not notice the situation at the camp.
Of course, there is also the reason why Xu Cheng doesn't care about the team at all. If these were all his relatives and friends, then Oleg wouldn't have even thought of leaving last night.
Andre was already on the ground in pain, with cold sweat on his face. He crawled under Xu Cheng's feet and begged: "Save me, please save me."
Xu Cheng kicked away Andre's outstretched hand and turned to look at Zoya, who was pale and dull: "Do you think that if you had obeyed Oleg last night, such a tragedy would not have happened today, so you all Is it my fault?"
Before, Zoya would have retorted resolutely, but now she looked at her mother's body without saying a word, her eyes filled with pain.
Maybe Father Bayi was right before. In such troubled times, a woman's chastity really doesn't count.
Xu Cheng knew that Zhuo Ya could not accept the murder of his mother for a while, so he did not continue to stimulate him. He reached out and grabbed Andre and dragged him out of the tent, leaving Zhuo Ya to think about it alone.
Oleg left directly after killing the person, and the guy seemed to be able to fly, leaving no traces on the snow. Xu Cheng didn't know where to pursue him. The heavy snow in the sky still interfered with his electromagnetic induction.
Xu Cheng used to like the scenery of heavy snow, but now he suddenly hates it.
"Save me...save me...I don't want to die..."
In the undetectable murmur, Andre gradually became silent and turned into a corpse.
Xu Cheng collected all the corpses in the convoy. More than a hundred people almost piled them into a hill, and then burned them all with a fire, otherwise they would be eaten by wild beasts if they were left behind.
And he was not interested in helping this group of people dig a grave.
Suddenly, clear footsteps sounded from behind. Xu Cheng looked back and saw Zhuo Ya, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Zoya bowed his head and apologized to Xu Cheng: "Sorry, I have figured it out. I shouldn't look at the problem from the perspective of the murderer. Everything is Oleg's fault. My resistance last night was correct."
That's right, you can't think that your resistance is wrong just because your resistance leads to further harm by the murderer. This is thinking about the problem from the murderer's point of view, and you are sitting in the wrong position.
Xu Cheng nodded with satisfaction. It would be great if Zhuo Ya could figure it out. If she blames herself, Xu Cheng can't help her.
"Traveller, you are going to Kharkov, can you take me with you?"
Zoya raised his head, his bloodshot eyes flashing with hatred: "I want to take revenge on Oleg!"
Oleg's goal is also Kharkov, and he will definitely go to that city after killing people.
Xu Cheng did not agree immediately, but asked instead: "If I didn't help you, how would you, an ordinary person, plan to take revenge on a person with powerful abilities?"
Before Zhuoya came, she had obviously been mentally prepared that Xu Cheng would not help her, and she said her plan without thinking: "I will find a way to get to Alkov, and then sell my body and everything I have." , in exchange for the power to take revenge.”
Xu Cheng saw the determination in Zhuo Ya's eyes and knew she was serious.
"Pack your things and let's go."
Xu Cheng is also going to Kharkov and doesn't mind taking her with him, just like she took him with him before.
Hatred can make people grow. Zoya quickly cheered up and buried his mother's body on the spot. Then he simply collected all the valuable things in the motorcade and only picked out some that were easy to carry.
This is not because she is greedy for money, but because activities in Kharkov require a lot of funds, otherwise it will be difficult to survive with nothing, let alone revenge.
After making preparations for departure, there was a very practical question lingering in front of Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya - how to get to Kharkov.
