Chapter 261: Outside the City
Although they had already had some expectations in their hearts, when Lu Ye and Cao Zhen and Minister Lu really came to the outside of the city, the situation outside the city still gave them a great shock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the beginning of winter, Lu Ye has been living in Xudu City and has never left the city. Cao Zhen is probably the same, so when the two of them came out today, they were really surprised to see the scene.
What kind of scene is that?
Although there was chaos in the city, at least the victims could still be seen constantly moving, and outside the city, what appeared in front of Cao Zhen and Lu Ye was like piles of dead bodies.
There is no popularity.
The makeshift shanty was already crowded with people, and at a glance, it was densely packed like ants. The amount of porridge in the porridge shed is limited each day, and there are always some people who do not have porridge next to them.
Such a scene made Cao Zhen feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Why is this ......?" Cao Zhen is a little unimaginable.
"Isn't there already an order for disaster relief?"
Lu Ye pursed his lips and didn't say anything. The body continued to walk towards the outside of the city, and as soon as he reached the city gate, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.
"Who's coming?" Asked with a shout.
Cao Zhen had fire in his heart at this time, living up to his previous appearance, looking as if he was a beast.
"What? I don't even know my son? Cao Zhen roared.
The soldier is also a person with vision, although he really doesn't know Cao Zhen, but he also knows Cao Zhen's appearance, and he is definitely not a person to mess with.
hurriedly persuaded: "A few sons should go back, it's better to go out of the city less these days." ”
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and there is still some time before the Shangyuan Festival. Lu Ye asked Hu Zuo for leave, thinking that he would return to work as a supervisor after the Shangyuan Festival.
When Cao Zhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why, if I want to go out of the city, can you stop me? ”
"That doesn't make sense......
"Then get out of here!" Cao Zhen said angrily.
The soldier hurriedly retreated, Lu Ye watched Cao Zhen lose his temper, and he didn't say a word, and the three of them finally left.
This group of soldiers saw that Lu Ye, Cao Zhen and the others were far away, so they dared to whisper something.
"What is that son's identity?"
In fact, they were not the original city guards, but soldiers in the army, who had really seen blood. The soldiers were called up much earlier than the officials, and as early as the fourth day of the first lunar month, they were already back in their own units.
And the real officials who protect the city have already been transferred out to maintain order outside the city.
"How do I know this, but if you look at the clothes they wear and the evil aura they have, you can see that they are definitely not a good match." The squad leader said.
"I don't know what they're going out for, going out at this time. All you see are starving and dying all over ....... ”
"You know what......."
"It's not peaceful outside the city, I heard two days ago that a lot of people died outside. I heard that there will be riots from time to time, and more than 20 officers and soldiers died last time....... ”
"What does it have to do with us, we just have to do our own thing. How can these nobles do things for us to figure out. "This squad leader is a human spirit.
"There's nothing to see out there, it's not some of the ...... of the victims. There are still very few people who can survive such a catastrophe. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has already sent someone to prepare for rescue."
In fact, everyone knows that in such a snowstorm, there is a limit to what manpower can do.
……
……
Really out of the city, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
At a glance, the mountain dances the silver snake, and the original Chi wax elephant. A piece of silver. This is what can be seen from a distance, and when it is really close, what can be found and seen makes Cao Zhen a little unbearable.
Lu Ye pulled Cao Zhen and walked towards the shed over there.
"Let's go over there and see what the hell is going on......."
Cao Zhen nodded.
There are very few people who can stand outside the city, most of them are sitting or lying, one by one, without winter clothes or quilts, they can't feel the warmth at all.
Only through such a way can you feel a trace of warmth.
Lu Ye's expression was solemn, and so was Cao Zhen.
Minister Lu had no heart or lungs, so he just followed behind the two of them at this time and didn't say a word.
Under such circumstances, Lu Ye suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Someone is following us ......." Lu Ye whispered to Cao Zhen on the side.
"Huh?"
"Don't look back, it's the ...... of those victims." Lu Ye had already glanced at it and saw the situation behind.
"What do they want to do...... Cao Zhen asked incomprehensibly.
Lu Ye's mind is heavy, and what Cao Zhen can't think of doesn't mean that Lu Ye can't think of either.
"Probably...... I think you and I are easy to bully, and we have money on them, so I want to grab some things from you and me, and then go to the city...... ”
"Isn't it that the victims are not allowed to enter the city?"
"Of course you can go in if you have money, otherwise where do you think the victims we saw in the city came from?"
"They...... Dare to do so? ”
"Maybe they didn't dare before the natural disaster, but now it's not the ...... before the catastrophe." Lu Ye sighed slightly in his heart, in such a situation, what could they not do?
When Cao Zhen heard this, he also understood what Lu Ye meant.
"They...... How dare you ....... ”
"If you don't rob, you're dead. After robbing it, you will enter the city, and if you continue to rob it when the time comes, you may survive. If it were you, what would you do in such a situation? Lu Ye asked.
Cao Zhen was speechless for a while.
In such a situation, how will you choose?
And how else to choose.
"When will they do it?" Cao Zhen asked in a low voice.
At this time, Lu Ye looked at the situation in front of him and said, "Turn that corner, you should be able to do it." ”
"How many of them are there?"
"A dozen......."
"Okay!"
Lu Ye wasn't too worried: "If you want to rob us, you still have to pay some price." The catastrophe has happened for such a long time, if they were really strong, they would have already entered the capital city. After entering the city, the difficulty of surviving is of course much lower than outside. Thinking about these people, they are definitely not very powerful characters. With you and the minister's skills, it won't be very difficult to clean up. ”
Cao Zhen nodded: "I really want to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" ”
Lu Ye smiled and was noncommittal. These victims wanted to use their hands to grab things from themselves and Cao Zhen, but they really had the wrong idea.
Lu Ye wanted to see where these victims came from.
Among the more than ten people, there must be a leader, otherwise it is impossible to gather so many people, although the number of people is big, but the profits that can be obtained in the end are also extremely thin.
The leader is the one Lu Ye wants to meet.
