Chapter 5502 The Road to Survival
In the early morning, when the first rays of light jumped out from the eastern horizon to illuminate everything on the earth, dyeing it with a faint red light, a long black line had already appeared on the ground.
If you look down from the sky, you will see that this long black line winds through the jungle-like steel buildings, almost dividing the entire city into two parts like an earthworm that runs diagonally.
Suddenly, a majestic beast roar like a lion's roar sounded in the sky, and then a huge figure appeared in the sky, and the morning sun shone on its body, as if it had put on a golden armor, and it looked as powerful and extraordinary.
This huge figure seemed to fly out of the sun, and it fell towards the earth as quickly as possible, and it was only in a moment that it approached the black line on the ground, and it was only then that the winding black line revealed its true appearance—it was a barely boundless flow of people!
Carrying large bags and small bags, the tired-looking crowd silently walked through various buildings and vehicles, which were also mixed with bicycles, wheelbarrows, and carts, and looked like fallen leaves in the river from a distance.
"Roar!" a loud roar sounded in the sky, and someone in the crowd subconsciously raised their heads to see a creature with a lion-like body, but with an eagle-like head, and a pair of huge wings on its back, whistling past their heads and flying behind them.
"Mommy, look, it's a big flying lion!" a little girl in the crowd, held in her mother's hand, called out to her mother as she pointed to the huge figure in the sky.
"Well~Mom saw it~The big lion that can fly~" Her mother, a young woman, raised her head, squinted at the back of the strange creature in the sky, and then lowered her head, rubbed her daughter's head full of indulgence, and softly agreed.
"But Xiaoxue should listen and remember~ That's not a big lion, it's a griffin~ It's our patron saint~ Thanks to it, those big insects can't come out and bite us~" The young woman's face was full of exhaustion, but she still squeezed out a smile and explained to her daughter.
"Griffon, Patronus, Mother~Mother, is it the god on its back?is the god here to protect us?" the innocent little girl held her mother's hand and nodded vigorously to indicate that she would remember, and then asked another question.
"Celestial God?" The young woman was stunned when she heard this, and the face of a young man who was obviously still very immature but had an inexplicable resolute temperament flashed in her mind, and shook her head gently: "No~ that is not a celestial god~ He is a human being like us, but he is greater than the celestial gods, because it is he who protects us from harm, not those high celestial gods!"
"I see, that big brother is a god more powerful than the gods, he is our patron saint!"
"Patronus?" the young woman looked at her daughter's face, which was originally immature and snow-white, but now turned sallow due to malnutrition, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded: "Hmm~ Patronus!"
Wow~
Just as the mother and daughter were interacting with each other, a loud commotion suddenly erupted in the crowd in front of them.
Then the crowd that was moving forward suddenly stopped, and many people bumped into the people in front of them unexpectedly, and all kinds of apologies and shouts sounded, which made people have a bad premonition in their hearts, and they all guessed what was happening in front of them.
"Don't panic, everybody! There's a small wave of bugs ahead! We're dealing with it now! Everybody is resting in place for ten minutes!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded in the sky, and the crowd subconsciously raised their heads, but saw a huge flaming red bird like a crow hanging in the air, and a person wearing a fiery red strange armor holding a long knife and not seeing his face clearly was standing on the back of this crow-like bird, looking down at the crowd below.
"It's the Fire Raven Army!" looked at the fiery red figure standing overhead, and the crowd suddenly let out one exclamation after another.
"Mom, what is the Fire Raven Army?" Hearing the exclamation from the crowd, the little girl Xiaoxue asked her mother curiously.
The young woman was basking in the shock of the news that there had been a wave of insect swarms in front of her, when she suddenly felt her daughter pull herself, and then she came back to her senses.
She suppressed the worry about the insect swarm in her heart, and then sat down in the open space on the side of the road with her daughter in her arms, "Fire Raven Army~ That's what everyone calls the uncles in red armor in the sky~"
"Then why are they called the Fire Raven Army, is it because they are all sitting on the Fire Raven?" said the little girl innocently.
"Haha~ Xiaoxue is so smart~" Before the young woman could speak, a voice next to her said with a smile.
"Uncle Wang!"
"Hmm, Brother Wang, it's you~" The young woman turned her head and saw a thin figure who looked to be in his forties, but with white hair, appeared beside them.
"Did Xiaoxue listen to her mother properly?" asked softly with a warm smile on her face.
"Xiaoxue is very well-behaved~ listen to her mother~" The little girl said seriously when she heard this.
"That's it~ Then as a reward for a good boy, you will be given a good thing!" As he spoke, he handed the little girl a piece of fruit candy, and listened to the little girl cry out in surprise: "Little white rabbit!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Xiaoxue took the piece of toffee in surprise, with a happy smile on her face, and then held the piece of candy and put it in front of her mother, "Mom eats candy!"
The young woman looked at her daughter's face full of anticipation, smiled and rubbed her little head, "Mom doesn't eat ~ Xiaoxue eat it~" and then tore the wrapping paper on it and put it in her daughter's mouth, looking at the happy smile on her daughter's face, she couldn't help but smile.
"Is the white rabbit delicious?"
"It's delicious! It's better than steamed buns!"
"Eat slowly~ Don't choke!" the young woman wiped the ash on her daughter's face at some point, and whispered.
Looking at the smile on the face of the mother and daughter in front of him, the smile on Wang Jingui's face became brighter, and then he looked at the young woman and asked softly, "Are you okay these two days?
"It's okay~ Although I am in a hurry, I am really tired, but I can still persevere, after all, compared to most people, we can have something to eat, and we don't have to worry about bugs, we are happy enough~" The young woman stroked her daughter's head, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, but she still said with a smile.
"Alas~ Hold on for two more days~ It's good to wait until you get to Jinling City~" Wang Jingui looked at the young woman in front of him who had lost weight twice and sighed, he still remembered how beautiful and moving the young woman in front of him was before, but now it has become what it is now, it's all this damn doomsday~
"By the way~ Brother Wang, what did those people in Lishui Community look for you yesterday?"
"It's nothing~ just asking me if I would like to join the escort team~ But I refused!" Wang Jingui said in a flat tone.
"What?!Escort?!Why do you refuse!?Brother Wang, are you stupid? I don't know how many people want to go in and can't get in!"
When the young woman heard Wang Jingui's words, she immediately exclaimed.
"Escort?!Is the escort coming???" Hearing the young woman say the word escort, the people around him immediately rioted, and found that there were no imaginary escorts around, so he muttered and sat back.
"I'm not stupid~ I just don't think I'm suitable~" Seeing the young woman looking at herself anxiously, Wang Jingui said with a smile.
"And say that you are not stupid! I heard that the people who joined the escort team can not only receive enough food for three or four people every day, but also have the opportunity to get that kind of magical insect crystal! You actually refused, isn't it stupid!" Seeing Wang Jingui looking at him with a smirk, the young woman was immediately amused.
Even if you don't have food, ordinary people like you can get three steamed buns or bread a day, although the distance is far from enough, but you won't be starved to death, but that insect crystal is completely different!
Those insect crystals are said to have magical powers, even if ordinary people get them, they can enhance their strength, no matter how bad they are, they can keep themselves energetic, and it's no problem if they don't eat for a long time, but this is such a superior condition, this old king, he actually refused!
"I really don't know what you think! With such good conditions, you don't have to come back and eat that bit of bread every day to live!"
"There's no way~ Anyway, I've already rejected it~ Besides, it's ...... to say this"
The two of them were talking, when suddenly there was a loud noise in front of them, and even the ground shook with them.
They subconsciously looked over and saw a huge pillar of fire rising into the sky, and it took a while to dissipate.
"Is that ...... How many bugs are there in front of you, and even that person has taken action, have we encountered a large number of bugs again?!"
The moment they saw the pillar of fire, there was a commotion in the crowd, many people stood up in shock, and some people shouted loudly, saying that the insects are coming, everyone hurry up and run for their lives, and some people even began to snatch the packages of the people around them.
"No~ That's not the adult's flame pillar, if he really made a move, it wouldn't be like this, and the color of the flame is not right!
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, but by this time the crowd was already in chaos, and few people heard his words, and even if they did, they couldn't care so much.
"Be careful!" Wang Jingui suddenly jumped up when he saw that the crowd began to commotion, protecting the young woman and Xiaoxue's mother and daughter behind him, staring closely at the surroundings with a pair of eyes to prevent anyone from attacking them.
"Hurry up and give me something!"
"No! This is my thing! You let me go! You're out of luck when the convoy comes!"
"you! What a garbage guard! When that ghost escort comes, Lao Tzu will run away early! Hurry up and let go, don't let it go, don't blame Lao Tzu for giving you a knife!"
Wang Jingui suddenly heard a noise around him, he turned his head and saw a young man with dyed blonde hair and beach pants who looked like he was snatching a middle-aged woman in his arms, a backpack, and some scattered biscuits, ham sausages and other things on the ground.
"Help! Someone is stealing something! Come on!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that the middle-aged woman was actually yelling, the young man was suddenly anxious, he continued to drag the backpack with his left hand, and suddenly took out a fruit knife with his right hand and stabbed the middle-aged woman.
"Bastard, stop!" Wang Jingui, who saw this scene, suddenly couldn't help it, he shouted and threw himself at the young man.
