Chapter 9: Purgatory

"It's... A stinky garbage who doesn't know how to survive. Hearing Tang Ling's request, Quark almost popped out such a sentence from between his teeth.

Tang Ling ignored it, turned around and left.

He knew Quark too well to waste his energy doing useless things, and he was specially asked to see all this today, and he must have needed his own help.

How else can you help in such a time of urgency? Nothing more than escaping this place.

Quarks have hole cards.

Tang Ling affirmed this idea, but at the same time, he was even more sure that he could not lack his own help.

Therefore, Tang Ling wants to gamble, bet that Quark can tolerate his 'stupid' behavior, and he also needs the hole cards of this mysterious boss.

"Well, you win. Originally, I was going to look for you, and it took time. You showed up on your own, which saved you a little time. Just as Tang Ling was about to step out of the door, Quark spoke.

Tang Ling's heart relaxed slightly, and he looked back at Quark.

"Fifteen minutes at most, though. No matter how much there is, no one is sure that they will be able to escape. What's more, it comes with two burdens. I'm right, you'll take the old woman and your sister with you. ”

"When the time comes. I'll go on my own. "Quark wasn't joking.

"Why did you choose me?" Tang Ling just wanted to ask about this, not to mention the entire settlement, even in the fifth battalion, there were not no people who were stronger and smarter than him.

"Business has been done too many times. I know your secrets, well, maybe some secrets. Quark was vague, his eyes twinkling.

Tang Ling's gaze flashed with a hint of coldness, secret? About it? He subconsciously wanted to hold his chest, but after all, he didn't say anything, turned around and ran towards the place where his home was.

Fifteen minutes, a round trip, there is basically no room to waste.

Fortunately, after adventuring in the wild for a long time, Tang Ling's speed was not slow.

Back in the tent, there was no need for Tang Ling to say more, her mother-in-law had already led her sister to stand up, holding a small burden in her hand: "Let's go, I only brought some dried meat and water." If you run for your life, the extra will become a burden. ”

Tang Ling's throat rolled, he really didn't know why his mother-in-law was so sure that they had to leave here.

For escaping, the mother-in-law also seems to be very experienced.

But time does not allow nonsense, Tang Ling took the burden, tied it tightly to his back, took out a sharpened iron rod from under the bed, picked up his sister, led his mother-in-law and ran towards Quark's shop.

"Hehe, is this an escape? There are always cowards in this world who can be easily frightened. ”

"I promise you, get out and you'll die dead. Perhaps, there will be a little finger left? ”

The fifth battalion is still so lively, and the unchanging depressive life suddenly has more changes, which seems to be fun.

A trace of sadness flashed in Tang Ling's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were tightened, but he couldn't say more.

The saddest thing is that even if you know the danger, you have nowhere to escape. Because everything in this world needs qualifications, and the essence of qualifications comes from their own value.

The law of the jungle, there is no time when it is not cruel.

"Tang Ling, corpses are dangerous, we should believe in the Purple Moon Warriors." Just as he was about to pass out of the open space where he gathered, Tang Ling was pulled by an acquaintance.

Uncle Zhang, a good man who did not hesitate to teach him valuable hunting experience.

"Uncle Zhang, believe me, let's go now. Purple Moon Warrior..."Tang Ling took a deep breath: "I didn't make a move. ”

"You..." Uncle Zhang subconsciously wanted to refute, but Tang Ling was facing him with an undoubted and anxious look.

He knew in his heart that he had to believe that this child, from childhood to adulthood, Tang Ling was a man who could take responsibility for his every word.

"How... Escape? Uncle Zhang's words were full of bitterness.

"You told me that when faced with a mighty beast, a vast and varied place has a better chance of survival than a small space. Out of the ground, the rest... Resigned. Tang Ling just said this, he couldn't bring Uncle Zhang's family to Quark, Quark would definitely turn his face.

In addition, he is not sure that when his value is no longer useful in front of Quark, what can Quark guarantee?

In this day and age, no one can be responsible for more human lives.

The only people he can carry are his mother-in-law and sister.

Tang Ling's words gave Uncle Zhang's eyes some light, as an experienced hunter, he would not be unprepared.

"Take care." Uncle Zhang nodded heavily at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling nodded, pulled his mother-in-law and sister and turned away.

This is a farewell, maybe the last farewell, Tang Ling's heart swelled with a trace of sourness, and he snuffed out this useless emotion.

Dusk passages, lit fires.

The younger sister who is quietly lying on her shoulder, and the mother-in-law who is panting.

The hurried footsteps rub shoulders with the people who are excited about the carnival from time to time.

The fifth battalion has begun to smell of 'blue saw kata' leaves, a taboo plant that can make people addictive, sinking, intoxicated, peaceful, and pleasant, and the only spiritual support for many people in the settlement.

In the excitement of tonight, I finally have the opportunity to appear in the open.

Many confused men, their cheeks bulging and chewing, the corners of their mouths spread out with smiles, did not know that bloody hell was coming.

"That's fine." The sadness in Tang Ling's eyes became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to understand why Quark always scolded the people in this settlement for being filthy rats.

However, not everyone has the courage to struggle in the quagmire, and living may be more difficult than dying.

Embrace hell in a state of intoxication – and that's it, too!

"Ahh As soon as the thought arose, a piercing scream rang in his ears like a fuse.

'Boom', 'boom', 'boom', the huge crashing sound, accompanied by the sound of the iron hinges of the tooth acid being shaken, made Tang Ling's heart tense when he heard it.

A figure crawling with a roll, crying and running towards the place with the most people in the fifth battalion, and the moment he passed by Tang Ling, Tang Ling only saw a face full of tears and terrified to the extreme.

Of course, this person Tang Ling recognizes, the guy who has been occupying the fat job of guarding the door for a long time.

And Quark's shop, in order to get good things as soon as possible, is very close to the gate of the fifth battalion.

"Here we are." Tang Ling understood that everything that should have come had finally come.

His fingers were cold, but he held his mother-in-law's hand tighter, almost running wildly, just because Tang Ling couldn't help but start to be afraid.

Quark's shop was near, and the open door was empty.

But inevitably, through the dim light, the gates of the fifth battalion could be seenβ€”it shook violently.

The small window that had been loosened squeaked open, and in the sound of 'creak' and 'creak', Tang Ling's breathing stopped.

The dense crowd of corpses had gathered at the gates of the fifth battalion.

It's like a box with a lot of food for them, and all that's left is to open it.

Perhaps they had already eaten some, and many of the corpses had bloody scabs on their faces, yellowed fangs, and rotten bodies wafting with a foul stench.

Tang Ling's stomach began to churn, and the corpse man near the small window found food from a distance, and his gray eyes looked greedily towards Tang Ling.

'Roar', a roar of excitement, a harder rush, the iron gate of the fifth battalion crumbled.
