Chapter 277: A Strange Sound at Midnight

The women soon discovered that a backpack full of food and bullets could not be filled with anything extra, and that they had to choose the most precious part of it.

"No...... You can't do this...... That's my life savings, my life savings! ”

A woman wails in front of the box she opens. She compressed the space in her backpack, but she was saddened to find that there was only a few thin sheets of paper left, and in her suitcase, there was a neat pile of bills.

"I won't force you, it's up to you to choose what to do." Yu Changsheng said. "You can take all the money with you, but don't expect someone on the road to give you a biscuit and a sip of water." Yu Changsheng's voice was not loud, but everyone could understand its meaning.

While each person has their own unique ideas, in the present situation, the individual must obey the absolute order.

The reason why a large part of them are not compromising is because they subconsciously think that they have always been lucky, these people are fishing in troubled waters in the last days and getting a lot of things that do not belong to them originally, but now in this situation, Yu Changsheng has ordered them to give up some things.

In such a critical situation, some people found what they wanted in those abandoned items and secretly stuffed them into their backpacks.

Yu Changsheng was not a fool and naturally knew what these nominally obedient people were doing, but he didn't stop it either. Because it seemed to him that he had said enough that any sane person could understand what was at stake.

Since words and warnings have no effect, they can only let them taste the bitter fruit of their own brewing.

What's more, although Yu Changsheng and these people are not so close, since he was pushed into this position, he feels that he has taken on an indescribable sense of responsibility, but the degree of this sense of responsibility is limited, and there is absolutely no need to take care of these people like a kindergarten aunt.

A few hours later, a fleeing procession of heavily armed men, elderly and weak women and children finally walked out of the militia camp.

Their destination was the southern base of the Cangtu City Military Region, and although the journey was not particularly far, it was necessary to bypass the villages and towns around the city, which was the only feasible route. It is unknown what dangers lurk in these destroyed villages and towns.

In addition to the necessary guards, four new combat units have been added to the ranks, urging women to move faster, but also to help some people with reduced mobility to move faster, especially the two elderly people, both in their seventies, who would fall at the end of the queue a few minutes earlier if they were not helped.

Escaping from here is a very difficult problem, as buildings that have collapsed due to monster attacks are everywhere, and rubble scattered on the streets makes it difficult to travel. Especially for these people who have not exercised for a long time, traveling without transportation is a nightmare.

Yu Changsheng led his team to the front, and he was already far away from the team behind him. They played in the front, making sure that once they found anything, they were able to return as soon as possible to merge with the large forces in the rear.

Yu Changsheng had never felt such a heavy burden on his body, and even when his father told him about the Guardian, he had never experienced such an irresistible sense of responsibility.

The lives of hundreds of people are implicated, and the slightest negligence can cause irreparable and terrible consequences.

However, women are perhaps the strangest creatures in the world, and at times, the stamina that bursts out of them is surprisingly strong, and other times, in the dictionary, women are synonymous with weakness, a trait that stands out especially when they appear in the presence of men.

According to normal standards, the normal weight of a military backpack should be 15 to 20 kilograms, which is not too heavy in the eyes of most people, however, when this thing is actually carried on one's body, even the weight of only five kilograms will have an impact on people's psychology.

Less than two hours after the departure of the large group, Yu Changsheng continued to hear the repeated pleadings and complaints of the women.

The content of these pleas is also very simple, that is, the desire to stop and rest.

Finally, Yu Changsheng could no longer remain silent, he turned his head, his cold gaze rested on a woman with sleek-skinned skin, and muttered:

"Which of you wants to rest?" "I can't go any further." The woman's lips were chapped, but not from thirst.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate and beautiful woman also exclaimed angrily: "We have been walking for almost three hours, and the soles of my feet are full of blisters." Even if we're running for our lives, we have to take a break! If you go on like this, you won't be eaten by monsters, and you'll die of exhaustion here! ”

"Who else wants to take a break?" As Yu Changsheng spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the high heels with mud on his two feet.

Looking around, there were four more people who made the same request, all of them young and delicate looking women. He looked at the woman holding the baby in her arms, carrying a large bag on her shoulder, even though beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead.

But she never shouted the word "tired."

"Keep marching, everyone, let's rest in half an hour."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he took out a pair of military rubber shoes from his backpack and threw them to the woman who screamed, while he himself picked up a child about four or five years old and strode forward.

"What? What exactly do you mean? The woman exclaimed, carrying the pair of rubber shoes and catching up with Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng suddenly turned around, and with a sudden wave of his strong arm, he slapped the talkative woman's face mercilessly, completely ignoring the woman's pretty face.

Without waiting for Yu Changsheng to speak, next to her, a low voice scolded: "Do you want to attract all the monsters?" What's the monster called? ”

The woman was completely stunned, Yu Changsheng looked at her, pulled out his pistol, and said in a deep voice:

"If you want to die, I can do it right now. But if you want to keep the others, then I'm sure to throw you to monsters and let them tear you to shreds. ”

The woman looked at the black barrel of the gun, finally closed her mouth, and followed the procession, and there was no more such grumbling in the procession, although the atmosphere became more oppressive and dull.

At nightfall, the team finally reached a village outside the city. It's no different from the bustling metropolises, which have also been attacked by monsters. The neat houses on both sides of the street are in ruins, scattered crookedly like torn pieces of bread.

Between the broken ruins and the desolate fields, there are still some rotting corpses.

Fortunately, the cultural activity center in the village was not destroyed, it was spacious enough to accommodate all the refugees, and after simply arranging the guards who took turns to stand guard, Yu Changsheng found a quiet corner, took water and biscuits from his backpack, stuffed them into his mouth, and ate them slowly.

If he followed the normal procedure, Yu Changsheng felt that he should search the ruins of the village first before he could lead the team to rest here, but even Yu Changsheng himself couldn't say why, there seemed to be a very strange feeling here that told him subconsciously that this place was safe and there were no monsters.

The first time I discovered myself with this unique ability was a few weeks ago. From that moment on, it seemed that his body seemed to become stronger and stronger with the battle between the monsters. Perhaps this is the human potential that life and death trigger. Although Yu Changsheng's physical fitness has far surpassed that of ordinary people after returning to the human world from the underworld, he is carrying a backpack that is three times heavier than others today, and he has been carrying the child for so long, which is far beyond the limit of his body.

Yu Changsheng didn't eat much, he picked up a pack of compressed biscuits and opened the plastic bag. He knew that the human body was at its best when it was semi-starved, that the cells that should be involved in digestion could continue to carry out more oxygen and circulation, and that the brain would avoid the inertia that comes from eating too much.

It's more important to be vigilant than to be in danger.

The concrete floor of the activity center is cold and hard, and it is definitely not a comfortable thing to lie on it. However, these people, who had been busy running for their lives all day, had long been in the mood to be picky, and after a simple meal, they slept in a bulging backpack and soon fell asleep.

After all, sleep is the best way to relieve fatigue.

The people inside and outside the hall could take turns resting, the evening breeze was soft and calm, the desert was silent, the strings of the brain that were always tight were finally relaxed, and the comfort of the body digesting food all produced a sense of relief in the vigilant mind.

Of course, most people can enjoy this kind of comfort, but Yu Changsheng must always be vigilant, tossing and turning, the shift time is the middle of the night, and now, he must urge himself to hurry up and let his brain and body have a good rest.

His eyes slowly closed, and the guards in his field of vision did not have strict training for civilians, and they held weapons at their respective sentry posts, which did not look reassuring, but Yu Changsheng still gradually fell asleep in a feeling of intoxication...... Many people have experienced that when they are asleep, certain small sounds are often seen as part of their dreams. For example, a branch swinging outside the window, someone snoring next to it, a roommate's subconscious teeth grinding...... These are mixed into a part of sleep, in fact, it is the brain in a state of abnormal consciousness in order to receive external information in disguise. Yu Changsheng is no exception. He didn't know when he started hearing slight chewing sounds, but he didn't pay enough attention to it. After all, there are hundreds of people resting here. Maybe someone feels hungry in the middle of the night and gets up to get something to eat.

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist.

There is still half an hour left before my post, and I can sleep a little longer.

Yu Changsheng secretly told himself, and at the same time, he carefully rolled over and lay down in a more comfortable place.

But just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, he was surprised to find that no one was chewing around, and there were still a few small but clear cracks around him!
