The soldiers escorted the master and servant Xu Yi forward slowly.
They didn't know where Xu Yi was going, they only knew that they couldn't stop without Xu Yi's order.
And those victims who originally dispersed now tended to gather again.
They followed the soldiers' team slowly and slowly with great difficulty.
As he walked forward, he whispered his sufferings and pleas.
It was as if the heavily armed elite soldiers were their last straw.
Xu Yi followed the soldiers slowly forward with an expressionless face.
Now, whenever Xu Yi shows a trace of compassion, it doesn't take a moment.
A team of two hundred elite soldiers can be completely surrounded by disaster victims.
The team moved forward slowly, and gradually, the low murmurs in Xu Yi's ears turned into loud curses.
"We are also citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty! We also paid grain and taxes! Why are you treating us like this!"
"We are all human! Why do you treat us like this! Just because we are homeless, you can bully us at will!"
"Are you still human? Not a single grain of the grain you ate before was grown by us Guanzhong people! Now that Guanzhong is in trouble, you are treating us like this! Bah! What a piece of shit!"
"When I was protecting my family and my country! You were still in your mother's womb! It's better now! When I'm old, you started pointing spears at me! I should have known this! You should have let the Huns come over in the first place! Let's all work together die!"
The words of the victims became increasingly harsh and unpleasant.
Even Gu Dengyun, who was walking at the front of the team, couldn't bear to hear some of the unpleasant words.
But for some reason, Xu Yi never ordered to stop and deal with those who were disrespectful with their words.
As a nobleman of Tianhuang, he can tolerate the victims of the disaster to say such rebellious words.
This couldn't help but make Gu Dengyun's feelings towards Xu Yi slightly better.
As Gu Dengyun walked, he looked around and saw that there were fewer and fewer victims following him.
Then he turned and walked towards Xu Yi.
"Lord Jing Zhaoyin."
Gu Dengyun cupped his fists and saluted and asked, "I wonder where you are going, sir?"
Since leaving the suspension bridge, the two hundred soldiers have been marching forward because of the victims.
Until now, Gu Dengyun still hasn't figured out what Xu Yi wanted to do when he left the city.
It can't be an insult intended to be used by disaster victims, right?
"Let the team spread out a little and keep moving forward."
Xu Yi looked around and saw that most of the victims who were following him had given up, and then he gave an order.
As for where to go, Xu Yi himself did not have an exact location.
The purpose of leaving the city this time was to check the situation of the victims on the spot. It was not just for fun. There would be a specific location.
"promise."
Gu Dengyun cupped his fists and saluted, then quickly gave orders.
In a short time, the two hundred soldiers completed the formation change.
If the previous formation was an iron bucket.
Then the current formation has become the bag formation that is most suitable for officials to inspect the situation in the county. .
The soldiers were arranged on Xu Yi's left, right and rear, ensuring that Xu Yi would not be impacted by the victims on his left, right and rear.
Xu Yi's line of sight was secured again.
If this formation encounters danger, Xu Yi can retreat from the mouth of the bag formation to the center in the shortest possible time.
The other soldiers were also able to block the gap in the bag formation immediately and restore it to the iron barrel formation.
After the change of formation.
Xu Yi stepped toward the entrance of the formation.
Zhao Shou and Gu Dengyun were ranked around Xu Yi.
The further you go, the more different the scenery becomes.
If the victims beside the moat can still be considered human beings.
At this time, the victims in front of Xu Yi could no longer be called human beings.
Most of them were skinny and bones, looking like mummies.
Perhaps the only difference from mummies is that they still breathe weakly.
At this time, there were still some people in the refugee group, and those people were obese.
If you looked at them from a distance, you might think that they were wealthy people who came out to show sympathy for the people.
Only when you get close can you tell, where are the wealthy people who show compassion for the people?
Those people were obviously victims of the disaster. As for their obesity, it was just bloating caused by malnutrition.
The further you go, the more shocking the scenery becomes.
suddenly.
Zhao Shou screamed and pointed in one direction! "Sixth Master! Look there!"
There was a person lying there. If it was just one person lying there, it would be everywhere outside Chang'an City!
The difference between that man and the others was that there was a dark red blood stain under him.
There were several vultures circling in the sky above the man.
The vultures dared not come down.
Perhaps those vultures were also afraid that they would miss the meat and become the food in the mouths of the victims.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Looking at the direction Zhao Shou pointed, Xu Yi frowned slightly, as if he already had a guess in his heart.
When he got closer, he realized that the man lying on the ground was only half of his body.
The arms, belly, and thighs were all damaged.
There are even traces of tooth marks in some places.
"Sixth Master, this...this is..."
Looking at the red bones wrapped in a layer of dark red, Zhao Shou was so horrified that he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Xu Yi sighed and replied slowly: "I was eaten by someone."
Zhao Shou suddenly shuddered and said, "Eat...cannibalism?"
The words from Xu Yi's mouth completely destroyed Zhao Shou's psychological defense.
He originally thought that the refugees beside the moat were the limit, but he never expected that it was just the beginning.
The really cruel things are yet to come.
Xu Yi did not answer Zhao Shou's question, but looked at Gu Dengyun beside him.
Asked: "How often do we collect such corpses?"
It is easy for bacteria to breed when disaster victims gather, let alone such dead bodies.
Gu Dengyun glanced at the dead body on the ground and replied, "Collect it every two hours."
Xu Yi asked again: "Who is responsible for collecting the body, and where will the body be transported?"
Gu Dengyun looked back at Xu Yi and replied: "There are special body collectors outside the city. Those people are elite soldiers mobilized from the army."
"The bodies of these victims were originally transported to mass graves outside the city."
"But then there were so many corpses that the mass graves simply couldn't hold them."
"So Mr. Zhou had all the corpses taken to mass graves and burned."
It's Zhou Qiping again.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Zhou Qiping's handling method.
Burning is, to a certain extent, far better than burying.
You know, when there are too many corpses, the soldiers responsible for collecting them will also become slack.
This slack will lead to hasty burials, and those corpses will then turn into food for wild dogs.
If someone is bitten by a wild dog, it is very likely to cause irreparable consequences.
The hungry victims didn't care whether the wild dog had bacteria on it or whether it could be eaten.
Even people can eat it, so what else can’t be eaten?
