The original driver, who was converted into a sturdy cage, was also one of the bandits and died in the first wave of charge.

The car itself was quite large, but there were only seven or eight people in it, all of them women and children, and it didn't matter if they weren't particularly guarded, because the cages had sturdy locks.

The people here have witnessed the whole process of the battle between the bandits and the emperor, but no one thinks about the fact that "they have been saved" now.

There is no mercy, and the emperor who kills all the bandits in an instant is even more terrifying.

The cruelty and ferocity of the capable have been permanently seared into people's hearts.

Even if they were captured by the bandits, treated cruelly, their families were forced to participate in the bandits' battles, and they were treated as hostages and slaves, all of these things add up, and the capable ones are still at the pinnacle of the mountain of "fear".

If they are captured by bandits, as long as they work honestly and do not resist, most of them will be able to continue to live, and few bandits will ignore the population and labor, because this is a kind of wealth, wealth that can be traded, and a decrease in quantity means a decrease in property.

The capable are different.

Some of them are passed on by word of mouth, some are seen with their own eyes, whether or not they are mixed with false parts, they are convinced that the capable can slaughter all life as they like, perhaps for fun, or even simply to kill people for no other reason, with a single thought, all the people here will be mutilated like bandits.

Because, the capable will not work hard to live in this world.

They are destined to have everything, so everything is worthless, and since it is worthless, it is certainly not a pity to destroy it.

Although this is indeed a great exaggeration, rumors and imagination often distort people's perceptions.

"How...... What to do? He's going this way! ”

"Isn't it invisible?"

"How is that possible! I've heard...... The more physically disabled people are, the more perverted they are......"

"Bow your head! Keep your heads down! Don't speak, don't resist! You'll be killed! ”

"Yes, hurry up and do it, as long as we don't provoke him, maybe we can survive......"

After whispering for a while, the people in the cage immediately all crawled on their knees like pieces of meat waiting to be divided, and some mothers repeatedly told their children not to move, and even pressed them hard.

……

The other way.

Huang Taiyi already understood what the car was loaded with, and used it to deduce why some people were coerced into giving their lives to the bandits.

As he approached, he could feel the unstable aura on the car magically "calm" down.

Or "despair" would be more appropriate.

From panic to despair, it took only forty-six steps.

Of course, Huang Taiyi knew what they were afraid of, even if they knew almost nothing about the world.

Those who have power will be feared, no matter where they are, but this is too much, and it is simply the reaction of a giant monster or an old ruler, do you want to exaggerate it?

Perhaps, keeping a certain distance is the right thing to do, which is the same as not petting cats and dogs that you don't know.

It seems that there is no way to gain trust immediately, and it may not be easy for a lion to gain trust from a rabbit.

So Huang Taiyi temporarily shelved the idea of asking them for information, and just approached silently.

Don't be afraid of being like this, some people have passed out directly, and the way to deal with it at this time is to be cold.

That's right, it's cold.

Not taking the initiative to reach out to others is sometimes a mutual sense of security.

Having made up his mind, Huang Taiyi tried his best to restrain his breath and stood next to the car like a ghost haunted in the middle of the night.

The cage is completely open-air, and if there is no problem with the eyes now, you can definitely clearly see a large group of people who are so frightened that they are worse than dead.

"Who can drive?"

Huang Taiyi is a little nervous now, to be honest, after all, the acting skills of "not scaring others" are not easy, so he can only talk to them with the mentality of petting a dog.

accidentally played a little too hard, and the voice seemed a little stiff.

Wait, isn't it getting scary!

Sure enough, this was the result, and no one dared to speak out at all, not even the most curious children, honestly sticking their heads and faces to the car.

It's very embarrassing.

You're elementary school students who don't want to speak in class, right?

"Who will drive."

The second time, Huang Taiyi's tone became a little more stern.

There's no way around it, you can't just waste your time here.

Obviously there was no pressure released at all, and two children with weak physiques in the car still passed out because they were too nervous.

I'm not, I don't......

The emperor didn't want to talk to anyone about the depression in his heart.

"I ...... I will...... If...... Please let them go if you can......"

Finally someone spoke, the whole time remained in a state of prostration, listening to the voice is still very scared, it should be a woman who is not very old.

"Do you know the way back?"

The Empress nodded and added without any emotion.

In the meantime, he simply buried his head in the scarf around his cloak, and there was only a shadow on his face.

He didn't realize that this look would be even more unsettling, and it was very easy to associate with dangerous characters who didn't show their faces until the critical moment.

“……”

The woman didn't answer immediately, and her body could be seen shaking violently.

It should be associated with some terrible unfolding, and once answered, countless people will fall into the shadow of disaster and death.

Silence is also inevitable, and there is no other option than silence.

No way.

Huang Taiyi sighed in his heart, grasped the cane, and raised it silently.

"Don't!"

"Yikes!"

It is impossible to tell whose desperate cry it is, not that it can't be done, but that there is no mood to discern such details.

The cane, which didn't have any sharp parts, slashed through the lock.

The rough iron lock, almost the size of a baby's arm, fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Accurate.

The emperor tightened her cloak, picked up her cane, ignored no one, and walked quickly into the distance.

It doesn't matter where the direction is anymore, I just want to get out of this place.

It's ridiculous, it's obvious that he's a strong man, but he wants to slip away like a defeated dog, is he doing something wrong? Didn't I treat you with kindness?

He didn't look back.

Don't know what's going on in the car behind you.

Someone may look up, but more likely is still struggling in despair.

Forget it, don't want to know those things.

As long as you don't do anything that is ashamed of your heart.

In the end, no one came up to apologize or thank you, which was completely expected.

The emperor sulked all her life and walked for more than ten hours before she sat down under a slightly larger stone, and her mood did not ease much.

What kind of beasts are the powerhouses of this world, they are pathogens at all! If you have to take the blame yourself, even if you treat some people with kindness, you will not be respected and trusted, and people will only think that you are a raccoon dog.

I'm angry, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, and I can't say whose fault it is, worthy of the name "it's the world that's wrong", who complains about?

"Ah...... Totally lost! ”

Suddenly, the emperor stood up in surprise.

I was so angry that I forgot to discern the direction, and I ended up in a place where I didn't know where it was.

How can this be?

Standing alone in the stiff wind messy.

……

The Land of Dry Bones.

The name sounds scary, and in fact many people leave their bones here every year, but this place is actually not barren.

On the contrary, it is quite prosperous.

Since there was a plain at the other end of the dry bones that could produce a lot of food, the competition between the forces was not very fierce, and it relied on a few communication arteries that had been carved out, which benefited a large number of people here.

Even according to many people's rumors, the other side of the Dry Bones is an easier place to live, so many people want to cross this large wilderness that is difficult for people to live in, even if they risk their lives.

As for the relatively easy passages, they are naturally in the hands of various forces, and only those who have paid huge taxes and tolls and have proof of identity can pass through, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people who are barely struggling to survive.

Most of the bandits and robbers who are active here also have interests with certain local forces, and even make cameo appearances as bodyguards in many cases, sometimes fighting and sometimes uniting with each other, forming a delicate and balanced ecology.

Black Plum is one of the larger bandits.

"Oh, are you back?"

The giant man, who was almost completely shrouded in shadows, sat on the "throne" covered with animal skins, and several women knelt at his feet.

"Yes, Boss, I got the news."

There was no one at the door, but the voice of another echoed through the wide room.

"How was the test of the annihilation bomb? Is it really the power of legend? Speak quickly! ”

The giant man was not carried away by the alcohol and asked very eagerly.

"Yes, I've seen with my own eyes the power of the test explosion of annihilators, and a fortress of our size is dangerous, boss, it's time to think about which side to serve."

"Hmm...... Sure enough, there is such a weapon, even if it is in the past, it can't be compared at all, and the capable person must not be able to compete, if there is a chance...... Ahem, annoying, is there any other interesting news. ”

The giant man frowned, indeed thinking seriously about the future of the bandits, but he quickly became extremely irritable and could not continue to think.

"There's very strange news."

"Speak."

"During the annihilation bomb test, several untouchable villages were burned down before they had time to retreat, and even those untouchables were lucky enough to find a refuge in the past, but ah, the people inside were full, and they could only accommodate two more people, but there were still three people left outside."

The agent began to tell the wonderful news he knew.

"And then?"

The giant man's emotions were mobilized, and he took a sip of wine.

"Then, a man outside pushed the two men into the shelter and closed the door himself."

"Since you say so, there must be a follow-up."

"The person outside is not dead, that place is still the center of the explosion of the annihilator bomb, the most powerful area, and after discovering this, the news was immediately blocked."

The agent's voice became a little smug, and it was clear that there was still something to follow.

"That's a weapon that can make dozens of kilometers of grass go unhealthy, and anyone can survive?"

The giant man's breathing became tense, he was very sensitive to things like "strength", after all, the place where the annihilator bomb was tested was not too far from his territory.

"Not only that, but after that person was discovered, he actually took the initiative to go to the Circle Prison."

"What do you say! A Circle prison that is even more horrific than the death penalty and can never escape? Someone took the initiative to go in! That's impossible! Fools! ”

The expression on the giant man's face had completely collapsed, he was one of the most fierce people in the area, but when he heard the word "Ring Prison", his heart still felt cold, although he had never seen it, he understood that it was a real hell.

"yes, I don't understand it at all, and I say things like 'I remember the script is like this,' 'It's okay to wait there,' 'It's better for the warden to have a helmet with horns,' and they were sent to the prison anyway."

"Whew...... Hahaha, with such strong strength, he is still an idiot! And such people! ”

Hearing the end, the giant man's mood was much better and he began to laugh.

"Yes, I can't imagine that there are such idiots, what a waste of natural strength, hehehe."

The agent echoed and laughed.

"Haha, wait a minute, there is another task, I have heard a lot of news about the haunting of killers recently, and there are mysterious abilities with swords, I suspect that the 'Emperor of Heaven' may be hiding somewhere nearby, don't ask too much, let's see if I can find some clues first, this is a good amount of chips, I have the information ready, along with your reward, go and claim it yourself."

"Yes!"

The agent vanished into the shadows.

"Emperor of Heaven...... You didn't do anything wrong, but this is an era where power reigns! ”

The giant man drained the rest of the wine in his glass in one go, and spewed out a mouthful of wine, his red eyes like hungry jackals.
