Su Mi did not expect that when they returned to the mountains of Shangliang City and started again, the people on the Yuxi Valley Bridge still did not leave.
Rather than encounter the oversized centipede again, everyone chose to meet that group of people face to face.
But if you want to meet those people, Senju doesn't need to show up at this time.
There was no Senju as a mount for the five-kilometer journey. If we had to wade through the water, it would have taken several hours. Moreover, the situation in the water was unknown, so Su Mi and her group decisively chose to take a detour and cross the Yuxi Valley Bridge, and then took a diversion to the front road in the no-man's land.
This way you don't waste time and can ensure safety while hiding your own strength.
Su Mi did not bring the ten-person group and the Zhang family siblings out of the space at first, but there were a lot of people on the bridge. From a distance, it looked like there were twenty or thirty people there.
For safety reasons, except for Lu Wenli, who had no fighting ability, he was still immersed in studying herbs in the medicine field of Sumi space. The other sixteen people, including Ge Shanshan, came out of the space, and everyone was equipped with weapons.
The group of 17 people was still led by Qin Hao, with the weakest Ge Shanshan in the middle, and Su Mi and Chen Jin at the back.
Su Mi had never been to Yuxi Valley Bridge before the end of the world, but Qin Hao and the others were very familiar with it.
"This cross-provincial bridge is about 610 meters long. It has two pairs of main columns, one long and one short, to support the span of the bridge. Huh?"
Following Qin Hao's confusion, everyone also followed Qin Hao's gaze.
A group of them walked onto the bridge. When they got closer, they discovered that no wonder these people had not left the bridge for four days. It turned out that the Yuxi Valley Bridge was disconnected from the center, and the other end collapsed and fell into the water below.
"The bridge material on the longest column and the crossbody is very strong, how could it be broken in the middle?"
The place where the Yuxi Valley Bridge deck is broken is exactly under the longest column. The steel bars inside are still connected by broken wires, causing the section to form an upside-down slope downwards.
The group of people gathered on the edge of the slope.
"Let's go over there. It looks like that group of people are going to the other end of the bridge. They probably got caught in the cross section."
Su Mi thought in her mind that if they wanted to cross the bridge and reach the other end of the bridge, it seemed that there were only two ways at the moment.
One is to slide down along the collapsed position like a slide and walk through the standing water.
The other way is to return the same way, but still take the waterway under the bridge.
Su Mi was very puzzled. Why did this group of people stay on the bridge? It was raining so heavily, although it was lighter than before, but the dangers of being exposed to rain for a long time, she thought, were already well known at this time.
After a group of 17 people approached the group, it was obvious that the 26 people who were originally surrounding the section suddenly stared at them with wary faces.
There were 26 of them. No, there were two men at the break on the bridge deck. They had a very thick hemp rope wrapped around their hands. The other end of the hemp rope hung down from the break, deep into the water below.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" A taller man among the 26 people walked out of the crowd, and the others also made way for him, looking very respectful to him. In contrast, this man's tone was very arrogant, and he seemed to be on the right track.
For such a domineering person, Ma Dexiang was naturally the first to quit. "The main road faces the sky on both sides. This road does not belong to you. We are just passing by. I'm afraid you can't control this."
"Haha, it's been so long since the end of the world. The bones of the last two people who were arrogant with me are probably rusty. This is our territory. If you don't want to die, just leave as soon as possible."
"Pfft!" Chen Jin walked up to Ma Dexiang carrying a mace. The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
"Old Ma, I used to think you were uneducated enough, but I didn't expect there was someone more uneducated than you. Goose said, brothers, metal will rust, but bones will not drip."
"Pfft, hahahaha."
Ge Shanshan couldn't help laughing, and Su Mi couldn't help laughing in the team.
"You guys, it seems you really don't want to live anymore."
As soon as the leading man finished speaking, Su Mi discovered an interesting phenomenon among the other group of people.
Although there were more than twenty people in their group, they didn't seem to be together.
As soon as the leading man finished speaking, three thinner men in their team shook violently, and their expressions became extremely panicked.
Strange, aren't they in the same group? Why do those three men look so scared?
What's even more strange is that at this time, a burst of bubbles appeared on the water surface under the bridge.
"Grrrrrrrr."
Su Mi turned her head and saw splashes on the water, and a person started to flutter below.
"Help! Help!"
It was a man's voice, but it sounded very weak.
Coupled with the fact that the splashing water on the water's surface was getting smaller and smaller, it looked like the man would soon run out of energy.
Qin Hao frowned.
"What are you doing?"
The two men holding the hemp rope hid the rope behind their backs, looking very guilty.
The two men holding the hemp rope were obviously his subordinates, and looking at their appearance, they seemed to be hiding their guilty conscience.
"What are you doing? Don't you see that the man below is going to die? Tighten the rope."
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay."
The two men tightened the hemp ropes in their hands, and a thin man was revealed on the water below. His whole body was tied with hemp rope, and only his legs and feet could move.
These people tied the man and threw him into the water, which was obviously with evil intentions.
But when the man was about to sink, the leader asked his men to hold him back.
These inconsistent words are really full of weird feelings.
"I'm telling you, this is our territory. If you don't want to die, leave as soon as possible. Or, you can just walk through the waterway below, and I won't stop you."
These people have secrets.
If they turn back now, it means they have to go back from the mountains and enter the no-man's land.
But if you want to pass here, you must first deal with the 26 people in front of you.
"Old horse."
When Ma Dexiang heard Su Mi calling him, he immediately stopped smiling and walked back.
Hearing a female voice among the 26 people, they all suddenly looked at the leading man.
"Boss, there are women among them."
"I heard."
"Boss"
The leader suddenly narrowed his expression and looked at the man walking at the front of the group of people in front of him.
This man is tall, strong and full of explosive power. He must not be someone to be trifled with.
However, in the group in front of him, although these men did not look like survivors who had been starved for a long time, their overall number was smaller than them, and he saw more than one woman in their group.
Women are not counted in combat effectiveness
After some consideration, his expression became even more arrogant and unruly.
"Originally, you just turned around and left, so this matter was forgotten. But now I give you a chance to survive."
Qin Hao looked at the man calmly and expressionlessly.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"As long as you join us, not only will you not have to die, but we can also provide you with shelter and food, how about that?"
As he finished speaking, except for the two people holding the rope, the other 23 people all dispersed, seemingly loosely but very regularly surrounding Qin Hao and others.
