Chapter Seventy-Three: Mingji, Doge, Divergence
In the evening, Thatch took Logins and Papak with him, as well as seven or eight heavily armed warriors. On their bodies, in addition to the ǔ qì and arm shields, there are also some prepared foods that can be eaten.
A group of eleven people ran slowly in the direction of the village.
"Thank you, thank you so much! Thatch, I want to thank you so much! ”
An old man with gray hair and more than half a hundred years old, taller than his peers, but he has not eaten a full meal for a long time, but he has an old dragon clock in his old age. He had a few encounters with Thatch, so when the deceased was reunited, especially in such a situation, he couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't help himself.
"Uncle Mingji, what about Mingmeng and Mingtian Ge brothers, why didn't you see them coming over together?"
Thatch didn't expect to meet someone he knew well, so he was a little less hostile and wary of these people. Thinking of the pair of brothers who had some friendships, their combat strength was only half a chip behind himself and Loggins, and his eyes showed a somewhat solemn look, and he was a little reluctant to believe that the pair of brothers had suffered an accident.
"In order to help our royal highness, they stayed behind to block that group of bugmen! I'm afraid, I'm afraid it already is! ”
One of the people next to him looked downcast, walked up to Mingji, who had tears in his eyes when he heard the words, and said in a low tone.
"Alas, it's a pity, if we had come here earlier, we don't think so many people would have died!"
Nearly 200 people were all in rags and had minor or serious injuries on their bodies. There are only two old men of Mingji's age, and they usually do hard work, and they really fight with the worms, no worse than young and strong men.
Even the thirty-odd children and nearly fifty women were able to pick up sticks and farm tools and dare to fight the insects. It's just that the days of starvation for a long time have allowed them to show extremely low combat power. If they hadn't been cornered, they wouldn't have mustered the courage to fight those bugmen.
They were the last ones who survived out of more than 3,000 people in different villages. It's also good luck to be able to run into each other, otherwise, they would have become prisoners or prey of the insects like everyone else.
Like Mingji's two sons, most of the warriors with a certain combat power are almost sacrificing their lives in exchange for more people's chance to escape, leaving behind to stop the pursuing insects. It is also thanks to their dedication that these nearly 200 survivors have survived the current situation with great difficulty.
Thatch also learned from the mouths of Mingji and the others that they had been in the vicinity for more than two days. I have not dared to show my traces easily, and I have hidden in several places between each other, so as not to be slaughtered by the insects. As for the idea of gathering in one place, it was dispelled after the Zerg sent out far more Zerg than they did.
"Are you safe there, and what if the bugs find you again?" "There are so many of us, and the food and drink are not something that can be solved by this point, do you really have so many things?" "No, it's already a very risky thing to come to this village now, and we can't rush with you!"
Even Mingji, who had some friendship with Thatch and them, and the temporary leader of more than fifty of them, was a little hesitant after hearing these words. For Thatch and Papac in the valley where they were hiding, they didn't dare to easily agree to go.
"As long as you have a bite to eat, I'll go with you!" "No, even if there are worm people, I want to be full!" "I also agree, I don't want to continue this kind of life without even food! Even if it is death, I will die with food and drink, and if those wormmen dare to come, we will fight with them! ”
After a not-so-sumptuous hot meal, the children and women were less wary of the men, and most of them expressed their willingness to go back with Thatch.
But there were also a few warriors, looking at the arms and shields on Logins and Papac with burning eyes, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and after looking at each other, they both understood each other's plans.
"In that case, if you are willing to go back with us, I will take you back! Don't dare to say anything else, eat and drink, but you can manage enough! ”
Papac and Loggins glanced at each other, and under Thatch's gaze, they understood a little. He grinned with a confident look on his face. It was also when I saw those who were divided into two factions, even those who did not want to leave with them, they couldn't help but look struggling under the yòu huò of eating and drinking.
"Wait a minute, Thatch! If you want to go, we won't stop you, but please leave what you have left! ”
Those few burly warriors, even if they haven't eaten and drunk for a long time, are much more burly and strong than Mingji's people. Obviously, even if the conditions are extremely difficult, these people belong to the first echelon of people who enjoy food. It's like Thatch and Barrick, who have the same status in the village.
"Dog, what do you want to do!" "Loggins, they're our great benefactors, and they bring us so much to eat! What are you going to do to your benefactors! "Longy, do you want to be an ungrateful person?"
Not only Mingji was emotional, but he questioned the burly warriors with an indignant face. Beside Loggins and Papak, a few people also stood up, and asked with anger in their eyes.
"Shut up, Mingi, Waller! Look at the ǔ qì in their hands, as long as there are those, those worms are not taken into our eyes at all! ”
Dot, who walked at the front, had a long scar on each side of his mouth, which was connected to the chin at the corner of his mouth, and it looked like an awl pointed downward, imprinted there. He also spoke in a bad tone, with a gloomy chill in his eyes, and scolded Mingji and them.
"Destiny is the most trustworthy only when it is in your own hands!"
Longyi has two vertical scars, one long and one short, on the left side of his face, and he also looks quite strong. Although there was a little smile in his tone, there was a strange cold light in the eyes of the Thatch people.
"Mingji, you are old, still stand aside obediently, don't worry about this anymore!"
The people behind Doge and Longyi were already the strongest combat force in this group. It was also them, who did not hesitate to oppose Papac's suggestion. Glancing at the Thatch, whose faces had changed from their original smiles to gloomy, they glanced at Mingji and the slightly chubby Waller on the side, with a somewhat grim sneer on the corner of their mouths.
