next day
Wang Keyue and his party were on the road again. They avoided the small battlefield and detoured from the other side.
For some reason, Wang Keyue always felt that she had overlooked something and was a little absent-minded along the way.
Finally, after their group met the fourth corpse on the roadside, Wang Keyue pulled back her thoughts and stopped being distracted.
Then, we encountered corpses more and more frequently. Judging from the appearance of these corpses, they were all dressed in rags, half-clothed, skinny and skinny, but on the contrary, their bellies were terrifyingly big.
"Master, these people are all starving to death. It seems that there is also a famine here." Hong Yi said in a low voice.
Wang Keyue looked ahead. From the fallen posture of these people, it was not difficult to tell that they came from the northeastern border ahead. From this point of view, the situation at the northeastern border ahead was indeed not optimistic!
Wang Keyue suddenly felt a little ironic. The place they traveled thousands of miles to was originally thought to be a safe and peaceful place. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a place where people would not hesitate to escape. In this troubled world...
I really don’t know where the people can live? !
Wang Keyue withdrew her gaze, turned around and ordered everyone to cover their mouths and noses with a clean piece of fine cotton cloth, and asked everyone to put it into their sleeves and trousers, and finally, put on a hat. The black gauze of the hat almost covered everyone's face.
Everyone did not doubt his presence and followed suit one after another.
The eldest lady's serious look didn't look like a joke, they were not willing to disobey the eldest lady's order.
After doing all this, the team continued to move forward. Not long after, bursts of laughter came from the front, accompanied by the frightened cries and begging for mercy of children and women, which reached everyone's ears, and everyone shuddered.
Because that kind of laughter is so terrifying, accompanied by the woman's begging for mercy, "Please, don't eat me! Don't eat me! I am willing to serve you, don't eat me, wuwuwu..."
Although everyone was far away, they couldn't help but the woman's voice was very penetrating. They listened to every word of the woman's words, and the alarm bells rang in everyone's heart!
Wang Keyue signaled everyone to retreat quickly and used the terrain to find a hiding place. Fortunately, there were several large raised stone piles not far away, and the group hid behind these stone piles.
"Master, those people... how could those people eat people...?" Cheng Er was standing aside, trembling with fear because of the words he just heard, like a little kid being bullied. Like a rabbit, his big aggrieved eyes were filled with tears, but he couldn't hold back and didn't dare to let them fall easily.
What a weak and pitiful little beauty. If Wang Keyue was really a young master, he would have been deceived by this little goblin.
"In troubled times, it's normal for people to eat people..." Wang Keyue said in a low voice.
She remembered that in the second year of the end of her world, it was really normal for people to eat people. Although they didn't dare to eat them openly, privately, everyone knew this.
When Cheng Er heard this, his face turned pale with fright.
"Cheng 1, Cheng 2, go up and investigate quietly to see if you can know the identities of those people." Wang Keyue ordered.
They retreated in a hurry just now, and they didn't have time to carefully observe the identities of the cannibals.
"Yes." Cheng Yi said with a serious face and quickly took the order and left.
But Cheng Er on the side was obviously frightened, and he couldn't stop trembling all over. "Young Master... I'm afraid... I'm afraid...", he opened his mouth and started shaking.
"Oh, Master, let's go as slaves!" Cheng San, who was on the side, glanced sideways and took a step forward. There was a hint of contempt for Cheng Er's timidity in her tone.
"Well, Cheng San, you go ahead!" Wang Keyue nodded.
Regarding Cheng Er's timidity, Wang Keyue understood that it would take time to overcome the psychological fear.
However, there is not much time left for Cheng Er. If she blindly chooses to escape, she may not be able to keep her position in the red letter class in the end.
Because the escort team founded by Wang Keyue will never allow such cowards who evade responsibility to exist.
At this moment, Cheng Yi and Cheng San had quietly approached, some distance away from the group of people, but they could clearly see the clothes and appearance of the group of people, and could vaguely hear their conversation.
Not long after, Cheng Yi and Cheng Three returned, and the news they brought back was somewhat shocking.
According to their observations, the clothes of that group of people were still the clothes of ordinary peasants belonging to the people of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, the clothes of that group of people were obviously much better than those of ordinary refugees.
There were about nine people in the group, and each of them was holding weapons other than ordinary long knives. Most of them were woodcutters, kitchen knives, hoes, sickles, etc. used by farmers. From this, it was judged that the group was not a mountain. bandit.
Among them was only the bearded man who was called the boss, holding a long knife in his hand, and he looked like a practicing master.
Therefore, after a final discussion, we all felt that that group of people should be a group of troublemaking refugees, mainly with beards, who specialize in robbing people who are fleeing for a living. Such people are also the most cruel and ruthless, often eating people for a living, and have lost their integrity. A person's most basic bottom line.
