Chapter 1354: The Great Escape
Taihang Mountain Range.
The night is shrouded, and a hundred birds return to the forest.
It's time for herbivores to go to bed and carnivores to go down to hunt.
Even the most experienced hunter in the vicinity did not dare to be as easy as a mountain at this time, because if he was not careful, he would become the belly of the beast, leaving behind a terrifying white skeleton to prove that he had existed in this world.
However, in this silent time, groups of figures were moving slowly in the depths of the Taihang Mountains.
The figures were densely packed, but no one lit the torches, and there was silence, like countless ants crawling in the mountains, little by little, along the mountains, trying to find the farthest and nearest village.
"The Acropolis has fallen, and they have entered the ancestral land. ”
Wei Qingyun's graceful figure stopped on a hill, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Acropolis with a pair of vicissitudes of life, his expression was lonely and complicated, like an old man who had just lost his home.
Wei Zipei looked at him with concern and asked, "Elder, can you continue to walk?"
Wei Qingyun turned his head and said, "If you can't do it, just put me down, it only matters that you young people get out alive, don't be dragged down by this old bone." ”
Originally, Wei Qingyun planned to live and die with the Acropolis, but Wei Zipei resolutely disagreed, and even threatened him, if he insisted on staying in the Acropolis, then she would desperately try her best to rescue him in front of all outsiders, so he gave up.
"If you say that again, I'll go back. Wei Zipei said angrily.
Wei Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Okay, let's go out, it's worth it for an old bone to see the outside world when you're dying." ”
It's just that when he looked at Wei Zipei's hands covered with scars, he couldn't help but sigh again: "Zipei, don't blame these people, don't blame them, in this case, I believe that even those people outside will make the same choice as them, it is human instinct to save their lives, as long as they are still individuals, they will not spare their lives, they are just to fight for themselves, there is nothing wrong." ”
Wei Zipei had blocked the exit of the ancestral land with one person and one sword, and she was undaunted in the face of the onslaught of thousands of people, believing that even if she fought to her death, she could stop them.
It's just that when they saw the familiar faces gradually approaching, among these faces, either the servants who had served the Wei people for dozens of generations in the Acropolis, or the children of the Wei clan, each face was so familiar and full of urgency for life, she put down her sword again, and let these people rush down and trample on her......
But in the end, even she couldn't believe that when these people were desperately trying to escape from the Acropolis, they suddenly tacitly bypassed themselves and no longer fled on their own bodies, their movements slowed down quickly, and they began to take the initiative to let the women and children leave first......
Human beings are inherently evil.
But he is doing good all the time.
What she didn't know was that it was her previous words that woke everyone up, and she used her own body, even almost sacrificing her life to stop them, so that these people gradually awakened their conscience in fright, they are also human beings, they do not live alone in this world, they also have their own wives, children and parents, if those who are trampled in the crowd, crying and dying, are their relatives, what kind of feelings will they have?
Even if you escape like this, life will no longer be meaningful.
Therefore, the current Acropolis citizens no longer have the panic and panic and disorder before, they take the family as a unit, and begin to form a group, and the young and middle-aged protect their old and young fathers and daughters walking in the Taihang Mountains, hoping that one day they can go out alive and see the sun tomorrow.
"Climb down!"
Just then, someone screamed in horror.
Suddenly, I heard a muffled sound of "buzzing" in the sky, and everyone subconsciously crawled to the ground, and then raised their heads in horror, and saw huge black shadows flying overhead with a terrifying dull sound.
Some people ended their lives without even screaming, and the living, without feeling sentimental, picked up the bodies of their loved ones after these "monsters" flew away above their heads, and continued to walk.
"It's them again!" Wei Zipei's eyes were red, and his silver teeth were clenched.
This is already the fourth group they have encountered on the way out of the Acropolis.
Each batch of passing, will let the Wei people leave dozens or even hundreds of corpses in the depths of this untouched Taihang Mountain, some can be carried away by relatives, but as the corpses become more and more, gradually become a burden, many people begin to accept this reality, bury the corpses on the spot, so as not to let them become the belly of the beast.
"Let's go, it's almost dawn, and maybe we'll see the village at dawn. Wei Qingyun's face was also full of sadness, but he still comforted Wei Zipei and continued to move forward.
I don't know how long they walked in the dark Taihang Mountain, they needed to avoid the cliffs, avoid the beasts, avoid the "monsters" that flew overhead from time to time, and find a way to survive in the dark and unfamiliar Taihang Mountains, everyone was very tired, but they still walked in the mountains and forests.
Finally, when they saw the first rays of morning light on the horizon, the people who walked in front suddenly stopped and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Wei Zipei handed Wei Qingyun over to his subordinates, and hurriedly chased after them, only to see that they had already come to the edge of the mountain range, and less than five hundred meters in front of him, he actually saw the outline of the village.
"Count the number of people, quick!" Wei Zipei waved his hand and ordered people to go down and find someone.
Not long after, someone came to report: "We still have more than 20,000 people. ”
"More than 20,000?"
Wei Zipei turned his head in shock, when they came out of the Acropolis, they had a full 40,000! Why did they lose more than 10,000, and all of them died?
"Some died, but many more were scattered halfway through. The subordinate sighed.
Walking in darkness and terror, many people do not die at the hands of each other, but from fear.
They didn't know if they would be able to survive if they went on like this, so they began to leave the team in groups of three or five, looking for a way to survive alone, plus dying all the way, there was so much left.
Wei Zipei took a deep breath and said, "You are all waiting here, don't lose a single person, I'll go to the village to explore the road first, and wait for my news." ”
Wei Zipei admonished, and just as the cat's waist left the woods, countless pitch-black muzzles suddenly poked out in the grass in front of him, accompanied by huge steel black shadows rising into the air from a distance, roaring!
