In the abandoned Chengfang Drum Tower in the southwest of the city, in a huge broken drum that had been dumped, on the rags and meadows of the beds, Zhou Huai'an, who was woken up by a huge noise, could only rub his face and complain secretly.

"What is called only killing Hu'er, Lao Tzu almost killed him."

Then he climbed to the high point of the nearby Drum Tower, and then the morning light pierced the bright sky light of the harbor fog, carefully observing his surroundings and continuing to listen to the movements in the distance. After confirming that the noise and noise around him were all going in a certain direction, he fell down and packed his belongings.

It had only been two days and one night, and his face, neck, and exposed legs and feet had already been covered with a lot of dirt, and his head was covered with cobwebs and dirt. Therefore, in the mirror used as a case, it is already like another person with an unkempt appearance.

Although when he was in Africa, he often encountered water and electricity outages, or he couldn't wash for several days, or even short-term temporary isolation from the world, but the contrast and loss of this era environment still made him uncomfortable for a while before returning to his senses.

Then he touched a few handfuls of dust from the wall, moistened it in front of the mirror, and carefully wiped it on his face and head, without running into his eyes, nose, and mouth, and then vigorously rubbed the cloth on his body to create obvious stains; Looking at the sporadic figures walking by on the street, I felt that there was not a big difference, so I slowly climbed down the wooden ladder that had been broken at the bottom;

Then, carrying the simply wrapped belongings, he walked along the narrow alleys and undulating earthen walls, and while carefully observing left and right, he walked unhurriedly to the street outside, and followed a few pedestrians silently, and came to the more spacious and crowded street.

The coconut and kapok trees, magnolias, glacios, jasmine, and all kinds of banyan trees that were once green and shaded paths have all been cut down in pieces, and the stumps and broken branches are covered with all kinds of bits and pieces, small and small objects, and even colorful things.

When Zhou Huai'an walked through the streets in the crowd, he could still see groups of people wandering on the streets, or standing or sitting under the walls and in the shops; Most people do not have a uniform uniform color and armor, basically knives, guns, clubs, axes, hammers, forks, handles, basically use whatever they have, and rely on a few old and new flags inserted in the corners and walls to distinguish the belonging;

And all around them, all sorts of apparently looted objects filled carts after carts, and when they could not fit them, they quickly piled up on the ground into hills that were too high to be man's high; Other disheveled and disheveled women sat in the middle of them, letting their play with a look of numbness or indifference.

Occasionally, there were large patches of blood on the walls and floors, which gradually dried up because no one cleaned them, and some of the blood stains dragged on to the houses and courtyards, representing the tragic things and encounters that had happened here before.

Just like what happened in every breached city in this era, whether it was these peasant rebels who were praised and lamented by later generations, or those officials and soldiers of the same era, it seemed to be no different.

Of course, after seeing what happened in those war-torn marginal areas on the African Road, Zhou Huai'an can basically have some psychological tolerance and a corresponding calm attitude to suppress unprovoked emotions for the time being.

After all, compared with those black uncles' various jumps and strange "talents" in war, they did not let these ancients specialize in the slaughter and cruelty of their kind after the war; That is to say, those silicon-like bestial armies in the Middle East, which are supported by European and American countries to spare no effort and are better than blue on the road of anti-humanity, can have a slight advantage.

For Zhou Huai'an's group, these rebels who were resting on the street also looked at them coldly, but there were no more actions and abnormalities; Like some kind of lazy and uninterested feline after a full meal, although there is no lack of a certain deterrence and tension, but there is no immediate danger.

Subsequently, what made him more reassuring and comforting was that he found that his senses, including vision and hearing, had improved to varying degrees, and although his body was still sore, he had also improved his conditioned reflexes and explosiveness in motor nerves.

For example, he could mingle with the noise of the crowd, hear the whispers of the rebels on the streets, and even some of the more indescribable words or more intimate topics, and hear the overly suppressed quarrels and cries of the crowd from far away; And there is not much confusion and confusion between these voices, as if there is an invisible synchronous translator combing through them.

Then, he found that he could even clearly see the words on the exposed cloths and notices scattered along the street, some of them new and old, most of them were posted by the local Canton Thorn History, and there were also one or two copies that belonged to the rebel army.

It is conceivable that in the old days, these rubs and notices were crowded with crowds vying for attention;

Some of them are the names of "Fa-rectification thieves", and they are also painted with a red pen with a faint red circle; Some are warnings and warnings that the people of Ermin must not hide traitors, otherwise they will be guilty of the same crime as thieves; others are the hangings and rewards of those who have been bandits and pirates for many years, and they are constantly attached to them layer by layer from new to old;

But no matter what the content is, there will always be a sentence in the end, "Salty makes you hear it, and you don't disobey it".

Among them, the most conspicuous and fresh metaphors and stickers are undoubtedly all kinds of proclamations about hanging the "Yellow Nest of All Evils"; The age, place of origin, and crime of the "yellow thief" are cracked on it, and in the "appearance" item, a certain description of the fantasy pictographic style is used, such as "yellow face and red beard, eyes with fierce light, voice like pheasant chirping, treacherous nature, and blood appetite".

Among them, according to the degree of the old and new, from the earliest "if you catch this thief to see the money 100,000" to the latest recent "reward the money 200,000, the white body plus the three pins of the inner Quan, Yin Yizi County Lieutenant. ”

And the largest piece of dew cloth was in the Tang Dynasty the year before last when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty told the world that "there is something to do in the southern suburbs", and "to treat prisoners with drought, amnesty, and reduce the crime to death." Now, however, the cloth was gone, and the smoke of the food of the hordes of rebels lingering along the streets was still lingering in the embers that filled the city.

Just focusing attention in this direction can have a certain clear effect of focusing and magnifying; After a little while, however, he felt the discomfort of obvious exhaustion and dizziness;

Well, his stomach was flipped and grunted badly, and he remembered that he was still in constant hunger, like an invisible contraction of a black hole, and he urgently needed to find something to satisfy his stomach, knowing that he had only eaten some sun-dried slices of kudzu and yellow essence from yesterday to this morning.

At this time, the faint sound of gongs and shouts in the distance continued to echo in this huge fallen city.

"By order of the Great General."

"Hurry up and get it outside the gates."

"Overdue. Not with. ”

Fortunately, when he got to the street, Zhou Huai'an no longer had to deliberately look for directions and paths, as long as more and more people gathered together with all kinds of people with vegetables or yellow muscles and thin muscles, they could go on from the crowd.

This may also mean an opportunity to get out of town.
