Chapter 738: Waiting for the Rabbit

The dead city is still intact. The people here obviously died suddenly and suddenly. Their bodies are still intact, but the death conditions are extremely miserable, with withered flesh and blood, and everyone is reduced to skinny mummies!

"Their cause of death was that their flesh, flesh, and essence were sucked away in a very short period of time."

At a quick glance, Yun Jing found no obvious injuries that caused death on the deceased's body. However, he had a keen eye for subtleties and soon discovered that there were some pinpoint-sized holes on the deceased's body. It was difficult for ordinary people to detect the atrophy of skin and flesh after death.

.

In this case, it seems that something swallows up the flesh, blood, essence, and spirit from inside the human body and then escapes.

Yun Jing was not too surprised when he thought about the various methods used by foreign civilizations, but what made him frown slightly was, why were all the people who died?

In the city, not only humans lived, but also animals, livestock, etc., but now all the humans are dead, and the remaining animals are still alive, wandering around aimlessly, especially some wild dogs and jackals that are eating human bodies.

, crows circled in the sky and swooped down from time to time.

Could it be that because the human race is burdened with a curse, the existence that attacks only targets the human race and is too lazy to take action against animals?

After being unable to obtain any valuable information after a short stay, Yun Jing walked away, but before leaving, he split open the earth and buried the dead bodies.

Yunjing then traveled to many places, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, but there were almost no living people in the areas he walked through. Everywhere he passed became a dead place for the human race, with tens of millions of people dead!

In many places, people die in different ways. Some have their flesh and blood devoured from the inside and become mummies, as they did in the beginning, while others have mutilated bodies and are covered with fungi, which are the growths on the corpses.

Yunjing also saw a flesh-and-blood mushroom that was a hundred meters high, and it was still spreading to the surrounding areas. The area was burned to white ground by him, and some areas were gnawed by something.

Eaten into bones, leaving nothing but the skeleton.

It’s so tragic. All the people in the land are dead. This is a catastrophe for the human race. It’s a terrible scene that people in the four distant countries can’t imagine. They live in a place where they sing and dance in peace. They don’t know that the human race in the distance is suffering from disaster and has become a

The blood meal of unknown monsters.

And this situation of large-scale annihilation of the human race is spreading rapidly. If it is not stopped, the four major countries in the distance will end up like this in the near future!

After tens of thousands of miles in front, Yunjing saw almost no living people and did not plan to continue. The situation was probably the same.

The problem is that those damn things have learned to hide, and they don't know where they will attack next, and this land is so big, they are scattered, and Yunjing doesn't know where to go if he wants to stop them in advance.

Are those foreign monsters afraid of strong human beings so they choose to hide and keep a low profile? I'm afraid that's not the case. After all, they only come with their will, and their bodies are just temporary carriers. They are not afraid of strong human beings at all. Even if the carrier is destroyed, they can come again in other places.

So by acting like this, Yunjing guessed that they were probably enjoying the thrill of hunting.

After stopping further exploration, Yunjing thought for a moment and then returned to the west, returning to the place where a large number of refugees were fleeing.

A small amount of human race is not worthy of being attacked by powerful aliens, and the gathering of people is their feast. Yunjing blends in with the crowd and waits.

Yun Jing slightly changed his appearance and body, making himself look more embarrassed, and was unremarkable among the human race.

Thousands of people were walking for miles on a road overgrown with grass. Almost all of them had confused expressions. They didn't know where they were going. They just followed the people in front of them and went far away.

Go to a safe place, but no one knows where it is safe.

Many people's eyes revealed fear and despair. They looked back from time to time, their eyes full of fear, as if something behind them was chasing after their lives and was about to devour them in the next moment.

This team was almost composed of people from the lower class, dressed in rags, with families and families, those carrying carts and those carrying baskets, trying to bring as many things as they could to survive on the escape route, and they were reluctant to throw away any of them.

slowed down the progress.

There are also obviously wealthy people in the team. They have horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts to ride on, and they can carry more things. They also have guards. Even if they escape, they can escape with ease, which is extremely enviable.

In fact, almost all the people at the bottom are subconsciously following those rich people. They will go wherever the rich people go. It is better than being aimless. When encountering danger, the guards of rich people also make people feel safe, even though there is nothing

For eggs.

Having said that, if you go to a safe place, the people at the bottom are also the "leeks" for the wealthy families to start over, so those wealthy people will be "kind" to help the people at the bottom from time to time.

Yunjing used a picked tree branch as a crutch and followed the team silently. He looked so embarrassed that he was inconspicuous at all. He had lived through hard times and knew what it was like to be at the bottom, so he pretended to be his true self.

However, pretending to be a refugee was just a facade. Yunjing focused more on spreading his mind power to pay attention to the area with a radius of more than two thousand kilometers. Once he found any trace of a foreign civilization causing trouble, he would rush there as soon as possible.

The area of ​​more than two thousand kilometers centered on him is the place with the largest and densest migratory population in an area tens of thousands of miles away that he has previously observed. If a foreign civilization intends to drive the concentrated population towards a place with a large number of people, it will definitely not let the population go.

This area has the most, so Yunjing came here after careful consideration.

At this time, there was a middle-aged man in front of Yunjing pushing a wheelbarrow, with his elderly mother sitting on it, and two children under ten years old were helping him push the wheelbarrow. In addition to the old mother, there was some food on the wheelbarrow.

Bedding and other sundries.

When passing through a shallow pit, the man's wheelbarrow got stuck in it and he couldn't push it through it. In addition, his child couldn't do it even with all his strength. His old mother in the car felt distressed and asked whether she should get down to lighten the weight, but her legs and feet

It's inconvenient to be rejected by a man.

"Is the one in front dead? Move quickly and don't block the road."

"Who the hell is blocking the road? If you delay, the big terror behind you catches up and I will tear you apart before I die!"

The road was only so wide, and the man's wheelbarrow blocked the road, which immediately provoked a burst of urging and yelling from behind.

This kind of situation may be nothing at ordinary times, but now it has become a breakthrough for people to vent their emotions.

The man kept apologizing and tried hard to push the cart in a hurry, but those who scolded him harshly did not help. It seemed that seeing him unlucky and being scolded could make him temporarily forget his fear.

Already familiar with the language spoken by these people, and even the tone of voice was no different from theirs, Yunjing stepped forward and said: "Brother, let me help you."

After saying that, he took the handle and pushed the wheelbarrow out of the shallow pit and continued on the road. The man didn't even have time to say a polite word.

"Thank you, big brother. If it weren't for you, being scolded by them would be a trivial matter, and they might even throw us on the roadside." The man thanked him after the small hurdle passed. He was obviously not good at speaking, and he was a little reserved and at a loss.

Yun Jing said: "No need to thank you, brother, it's just a little effort."

"Although it's just a matter of helping others, no one has shown such kindness in the past few days," the man said with a sigh.

In fact, he was a bit dull and dull, and couldn't speak such fluent words, but Yun Jing translated it based on their language and that's what it meant.

Following them, Yun Jing said: "Everyone is fleeing. Every effort you can save is worth it. Besides, no one knows whether they can reach a safe place alive, so a simple act of kindness is meaningless, right?"

"Brother, I don't understand what you are saying, but it makes sense. I just can't say such things. From your tone, you must be an educated person, right?"

Yunjing was dressed similarly to them. They were all on the run, and they had helped each other before. For various reasons, the man and Yunjing naturally started talking.

"You can't even be called an educated person, I just studied for a few days." Yunjing shook his head and said, there is no end to learning, and there is no end on this road. How could Yunjing dare to be arrogant and falsely call himself an educated person.

The man and his child both looked envious. He said: "It's good to study. I have never known a literate person in my decades of life. By the way, big brother, since you have read a book, how can you end up like this?"

What’s the situation?”

"What am I doing? Aren't those wealthy people also fleeing?" Yunjing looked at the carriageway with several carriages protected by guards not far ahead.

Opening his mouth, the man nodded and said, "Yes, what about your family?"

"They are far away," Yunjing looked towards the horizon and smiled.

The man immediately misunderstood. Without mentioning this, he hesitated for a moment, took out a persimmon from his arms and handed it to Yun Jing and said: "Brother, thank you for your help earlier. Please eat a persimmon. I picked it on the road before. It's so sweet."

Yeah, I see you have nothing on you, moisten your throat."

Being so simple, he could only think of this way to express his gratitude, but it was obvious that he felt a little bit pained by just a red persimmon. The future was bleak, and everything was extremely precious.

"Brother, please eat it. It's delicious. There are so many fruits in the woods on the roadside before. We have never seen so many. They seem to be specially prepared for us. If we didn't dare to stop, we would wish to settle down somewhere.

"The man's son looked at Yun Jing and said.

There are indeed countless fruits in the woods on the roadside behind, which are caused by the cloud scenery and the growth of plants. Children are always greedy, but at the age of seven or eight, they also understand that survival is important, so they said that they wish they could settle down there.

.

Without refusing, Yunjing took a bite of the persimmon and said, "Thank you, brother, it's delicious and sweet."

"As long as you don't mind it," the man said with a smile.

Although he was talking to Yun Jing, he still looked at the wheelbarrow carefully. His elderly mother was jolted to the point of falling asleep on the wheelbarrow.

Not long after walking, only a few miles, we suddenly stopped in front of us, and people stopped and looked nervously to ask what was going on.

After a while, news came from the front that a little girl of four or five years old had been separated from her family and was crying in the middle of the road.

Perhaps it was because the little girl was extremely cute that she was taken in by a kind-hearted wealthy family who helped her find her family. If she couldn't find her family, she could stay with their family and have enough to eat.

After the little girl was taken in, the team stopped briefly and moved on.

The man beside Yunjing pushed the cart with his head down, looked at his child and said with envy: "It would be great if my child could also be favored by rich people. Although I don't want to part with it, it is better than suffering with me. The child is in front of his mother."

I ran away with a martial arts practitioner for a few days, and I don’t know what to do in the future.”

Yunjing didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't feel well. A man's so-called child was favored by a wealthy family. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was selling his son and daughter. He was suffering from poverty. He would not let go of his child if he could live better, but he also wanted others to see him.

Yeah, it's normal for a daughter-in-law to run away with someone, and she'll end up running for her life. Women, if they are cruel, they will follow someone who can protect them. It's better to abandon their family and children than to die in despair. Human nature is in trouble.

It is the least able to withstand the test. A little bit of confusion can make you forget everything else.

The team almost followed the people in front blindly. Gradually, the sky darkened. In the already sparsely populated place, the sounds of ferocious beasts appeared one after another in the mountains and fields as the sky dimmed, making the already uneasy team even more frightened.

.

It was getting dark and it was not suitable to rush on the road, and the crisis at the rear was not imminent, so the team in front stopped and prepared to spend the night.

After a day's journey, everyone in the team was tired and hungry. After stopping to rest, they all followed suit and found a place to stay for the night. As a result, the team of thousands of people gradually gathered in a leeward place.

In the mountain col, many people immediately dispersed to look for firewood.

"Brother, I see that you have nothing. If you don't mind it, why don't you join us as a partner?"

Because there were too many people, Hanzi's family could not go to the mountain col. They just found a tree at the entrance and prepared to stay overnight. When he was placing the old mother and child, he looked at Yunjing, hesitated for a moment and invited them kindly.

Yunjing had nothing, so he had to give him something to eat as a companion. Life was already difficult, but he still had a sad kindness.

Of course, this is also relative. If Yunjing didn't help when he was scolded, there would be no such kindness.

Yunjing didn't refuse and said, "Sorry about that, I'll go around and see if I can find some food."

After saying that, he stood up and left, even pretending not to hear the man's anxious warnings about danger.

The man's children were all looking for firewood, so how could Yunjing be able to eat and drink with peace of mind.

Pretending, Yunjing walked around and came back carrying a rabbit weighing several kilograms. He smiled at the man and said, "Brother, how about we eat this later?"

It's not that Yunjing can't get better things, he can get tigers, bears and the like to eat, but it's not necessary, so many people are too conspicuous, and when the time comes, everyone will not be able to give everyone a piece.

Well, rabbits are enough. They are not high-profile and will not make people jealous. These people have only fled for a short time, and they have not yet reached the point of destroying their humanity for a little thing.

When he saw the rabbit, the man's child was so greedy that he almost drooled.

"Brother, where did you get this rabbit?" The man was surprised. Yunjing was tall and thin, and looked very weak. He didn't look like he could catch a rabbit.

Yunjing walked over and said, "I was lucky. I met a rabbit that ran into a tree and fainted."

"You're really lucky. Leave it to me. I used to be a cook serving people from all over the country. When I had work, I was a cook. When I didn't have work, I farmed. Don't laugh at me. What the hell?

I have them all with me, I hope you won’t dislike it when I make them later,” the man said cheerfully, and took the initiative to stop the cooking work.

Yunjing also left him alone, talking to him, and built the suggested stove under the other's guidance, while the man quickly cleaned up the rabbit, opened a small opening on the rabbit's leg, took out the whole piece of skin, and scratched

Open the stomach and take out all the internal organs and throw them away. It was so clean that there was no use for even a drop of water.

Watching him clean up, Yun Jing thought to himself that the rabbit hit the tree, and he didn't know if the rabbit he was targeting would hit his tree!

There was actually meat to eat here, which attracted the attention of some people around, but none of them acted excessively. They all turned their heads and looked out of sight and out of mind.

Yunjing was also observing the surroundings. He found that the wealthy families who were fleeing did not choose to go to the mountain col, but to the entrance, probably because they thought it would be easier to escape when danger came, even if it would be meaningless when the danger came.

It was completely dark. The man made rabbit soup, trying not to waste anything. He also had a small can of ground rice porridge, and nothing else.

Yunjing and his family ate around the firelight of a simple stove. Even though the man claimed to be a cook, but in fact the food he cooked was just that, Yunjing still ate with gusto without changing his expression.

For the people at the bottom, it’s good to have something to eat, but what else matters about the taste?

While they were eating, a middle-aged man wearing animal skin clothes and holding a long stick covered with iron at both ends came here. He didn't pay attention to the man's family, but looked at Yunjing and said: "Little brother, we were here earlier

I noticed you. Although you look thin, you have a lot of strength. His wheelbarrow couldn't be pushed. You pushed it with your hand. Now you are in trouble and have nowhere to go. Do you want to come to our place and give me a home?

Will you be a bodyguard?"

Yunjing had noticed his arrival for a long time, but he was still a little shocked that he actually came to recruit him?

It's normal when you think about it. People in wealthy families care about their lives. If you show a little strength, you will be noticed. You can't eat much with one mouth, but with one more person, your life will be protected at critical moments.

Without waiting for Yunjing to say anything, the man who came to recruit continued: "Little brother, I am our master's guard captain. If you come here, I promise that I will not treat you badly. As long as you do your duty, you will benefit. And we

My master is kind-hearted, and he took in a little girl who was separated from her family earlier. No, look over there, the little girl is eating and drinking, how happy she is."

Looking in the direction he pointed, Yunjing actually saw a little girl of four or five years old being taken care of by a few well-dressed people and surrounded by guards. The little girl was eating and drinking, and she probably forgot about her family.

It's a sad thing to be separated.

Earlier the team stopped because of a little girl, it must be her.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yun Jing shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the position of guard, so I won't take it too high."

Yunjing is naturally not interested in being someone's guard, but in fact he is secretly protecting one or two thousand people here or even countless people in thousands of miles around.

"This..., well, I won't bother you little brother. If you have figured it out, you can come to me at any time." After Yunjing refused, the other party did not insist. He nodded and left such a sentence before turning around and leaving.

Then Yunjing saw him go looking for another tall man in the blink of an eye. Yunjing was obviously not the only target.

Thoughts flickered, Yun Jing probably understood that such a move was probably the intention of the owner of the wealthy family, to recruit more people to provide more protection in case of danger, and to maintain a kind persona in advance.

Despite how much they loved the little girl, they actually couldn't hide the look of disgust in their eyes.

There are routines everywhere. With a kind character, you can win over people in distress to serve as guards, which is very useful at critical moments. Moreover, the people you win over are also very particular and have a certain fighting ability, but they will not really care about that family.

Guards pose a threat.

The so-called guard captain is actually only in the middle stage of cultivation, and he is not satisfactory at this stage. After all, it is a remote place, and powerful masters can easily appear anywhere.

The captain of the guard went to win over others and said a lot of things, watching people serve food. People like Yunjing would say that the host's family was kind, those who were desperate would say that they had food and drink, and those who were a little thoughtful would say that the host's maid was beautiful.

Okay... Anyway, after a while, he really convinced several people.

The food here was almost finished. The man who was with Yunjing hesitated for a moment and said regretfully for Yunjing: "Brother, you should agree. Now that you are alone, you can have a way out by being a guard for others, and you can be with me."

They are safer together."

"Brother is right, but it's just a guard, and there are so many guards. When can we show up?" Yun Jing said with a smile.

The man became anxious and said: "It would be good to have a hope of living. It's just something you can think of in the future... Uh, I forgot, brother, you went to school, so your ideas are naturally different from ours. Forget it, I

I won’t persuade you anymore.”

"It's getting late. Brother, please rest early after you've eaten. It's tiring to travel all day. We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning," Yunjing said, changing the subject.

The other party nodded and said: "Yes, it's strange to say that even if there are so many people in this wilderness, there should be a lot of snakes, rats, insects and ants, but there are not at all. Who cares, it looks like it won't rain, so I should be able to rest."

Very good”

As he said this, he packed up and arranged for his family to find a place to rest.

Hearing this, Yunjing didn't say anything. He reached out and patted the collar of his shirt without leaving a trace, and pushed back half of the snake head that 'Laifu' had quietly stretched out. It would be bad if it scared people.

There is a ‘Laifu’ with enough combat power to challenge the mythical realm. How can animals dare to approach because they can instinctively sense its aura?

Yunjing was not alone on this trip. He brought Laifu with him, so he could be regarded as a companion and a helper at critical moments.

Looking up at the moonlit night with sparse stars, there are no accidents within the scope of Yunjing's telepathy for now, but when will those foreign monsters take action?
