Chapter 64: The Road Is Uneven
The three of them glanced at each other, and then hurriedly ran over.
After a while, in the darkness, a light gradually appeared in front of me.
An Li whispered to the other two to turn off their flashlights.
The closer I got, the clearer the sound became.
Getting closer to the light source, the three of them saw the scene over there.
In this forest, there is a small lake, which is not large, only about twenty square meters.
Next to the lake, a large clearing has been artificially reclaimed.
Tents were pitched and makeshift huts were built, surrounded by a wooden fence.
At the moment, the fire was bright, and a large bonfire burned in the middle of the clearing, and torches were set up next to each of the huts and tents.
There were a lot of people, and the station looked very lively.
The three of them cautiously lay down in the dark forest next to them, observing the situation over there.
And they finally saw the owner of the screaming sound.
It was a boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
It was a fair-faced young man with phoenix eyes and fair skin.
But his face was now completely ruined by bruises.
He was naked, probably hadn't eaten a few full meals since the end of the world, and his exposed upper body was not much better than An Li, who had just come out of the mental hospital at that time.
And his body was scarred, and he looked like he didn't know what he was suffering from.
There were a lot of people around the fire.
All the men are middle-aged strong men in their thirties and forties, and each of them looks ruthless.
They gathered around the campfire, laughing and scolding wildly while drinking, and the boy was just their pastime.
The boy was pinned to the ground, and behind him was a strong man wielding a whip and whipping it at him.
The hoarse and painful screams lasted for a long time, mixed with the merciless laughter of the big men around them, and slowly became weaker.
The three people who saw this scene were a little unable to sit still, and Ye Qin stood up even more suddenly.
An Liyan quickly grabbed him, lowered his voice and said urgently: "What are you doing!" ”
"I'm going to stop them."
"Ye Qin, are you stupid? Get down on my stomach. An Li pressed him down.
She has a lot of strength, and Ye Qin can't screw her at all.
Ye Qin was very angry, "What are you doing, Anli, they are atrocities, if we don't go out to stop it, the child will be killed by them." ”
"If you are killed, you will not be allowed to go out."
Ye Qin was stunned, his eyes widened a little confused, "Anli, why are you so cold." ”
"I always have." An Li looked at him steadily, word by word.
Ye Qin looked at her, the girl's eyes were pure black, and he unconsciously wilted a little, "If you don't go, you won't go." The voice was still a little aggrieved.
Anli: "......"
She thought that Ye Qin would accuse her of being cold and ruthless, and she watched coldly, but she made a fuss, and suddenly wilted?
To be honest, she was a little nervous just now.
Although Ye Qin is her friend, she is ready to get together and disperse if she has different survival concepts.
But when it came, he actually backed down.
An Li looked at him seriously a few times, and found that Ye Qin's eyes were still resentful and pitying, but he didn't have the impulse just now.
It shows that what Ye Qin said was not a temporary compromise, and he accepted her concept without any sense of disobedience.
An Li said that he couldn't go out, so he didn't go out.
She glanced at Yue Wen next to her, and her attitude couldn't help but soften, and she explained carefully: "Look over there, that kid is actually not an ordinary person who has no power to resist at all, he is an alien. ”
"Huh?" Ye Qin was a little blind.
"You didn't look carefully just now, Yue Wen and I both found out that when the kid was whipped, his hands turned into steel claws."
"Steel Claw?"
"Yes, Steelclaw, but as soon as he changed, he was whipped again, and he was hit on the hand before he retracted, which shows that the child has a special ability."
"And the attack power of this ability is not weak, Zhang Wenguang wondered that there was a woman in that group of abilities who had such a similar ability, her hands could be turned into zombie claws, and the attack power was very strong." That night's sneak attack, that girl gave her the deepest wound, An Li was impressed.
Speaking of this, Ye Qin should also understand, he pondered for a moment.
At this time, Yue Wen answered: "That kid's ability is not weak, but he still ended up like this, only two men over there completely suppressed him, pressed him to the ground and beat him, which shows that a group of people over there are not good stubble." ”
An Li nodded, "That's right, the preliminary estimate is that the group of people over there is estimated to be all superpowers, and they are not weak superpowers." ”
"And looking at their physique, the muscles of that body are by no means something that can be trained overnight, and looking at their faces, some people have old scars on their faces, and everyone is full of anger, there is a high probability that this group of people will be outlaws before the end of the world." Yue Wen added.
Although it has been so long since the end of the world, An Li and Ye Qin can be regarded as the best among the superpowers, and for such a long time, they have often gone out to perform tasks, which can be regarded as training.
But in the final analysis, they are just ordinary people before the end of the world, and they don't have the kind of stability and murderous aura that have been accumulated over the years, and they will always be less imposing than real outlaws.
Moreover, there are only three of them, and the large army is still outside, so if they rush out rashly at this time, there is no chance of winning at all.
When the time comes, people can't save themselves, but they put themselves in.
I thought that Ye Qin should also know the seriousness of the matter when he said this, but he didn't expect that he would come to a cold sentence:
"What are you afraid of, what kind of ruthless people we didn't provoke back then."
An Li was stunned, "What did you say?" ”
Ye Qin instantly realized that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly pursed his lips, and finally under An Li's very sharp eyes, he wanted to cover up and make up a sentence, "I didn't say anything, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart." ”
An Li didn't want to be fooled by him, so she asked with a smile, "Back then?" What year? Did we know each other before? ”
Ye Qin stopped talking.
No matter how Anli asked, he ignored it, resisted very much, and didn't speak no matter how harassed her.
Yue Wen looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was very strange, and Ye Qin couldn't be more strange.
At this moment, the person who was being held by An Li suddenly let out a soft "huh".
"What's that?" Ye Qin suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
An Li and Yue Wen turned their heads to look over and found that the direction he was pointing was a tent in the clearing.
Under the light of the fire outside, the yellowed curtain can be clearly seen from the outside, and the figures inside can be faintly seen.
"Look at the body type, how do you feel...... Like a child? Yue Wen said uncertainly.
An Li also frowned slightly.
Ye Qin said with a solemn expression, "It's not like, it's just." ”
An Li frowned: "What are they doing with a group of children?" For them to abuse? ”
"Nope." Yue Wen shook his head, "Maybe there are more dirtier intentions. ”
An Li's expression froze and she was speechless.
Ye Qin stood up, he stretched out his hand and pulled An Li on the ground up, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
Then he added: "Don't worry, I won't mess around, it's the end of the world, the road is uneven, you can save it, if you can't save it, you won't force it, it's not worth putting your life into it." ”
An Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you understand." ”
She was really worried that something was wrong with Ye Qin, who was stunned, scolded her, scolded her for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and then parted ways, and rushed up to kill herself.
Fortunately, although the teammate she chose was a little stunned, he was not the kind of stupid white sweet virgin who was reckless.
"Yue Wen, you go back first, call the brothers up, the two of us go to investigate, in case something happens, I'm afraid you will have to bring someone to rescue you at that time." An Li said.
Yue Wen shook his head, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go as a girl, let me and Ye Qin go, you go back and call someone." ”
An Li patted him on the shoulder, "No, I have to look at this kid, he is too stupid and impulsive." ”
Yue Wen wanted to say something, but was stopped by An Li with his eyes.
In the end, Yue Wen turned around and walked into the forest and returned the same way, while An Li and Ye Qin carefully bypassed the station of the group of people and slowly leaned over from the other side of the lake.
"I don't know if any of them have perceptual abilities like Zhang Wenguang and Cui Haojie with keen five senses, be careful not to let them find out."
The two of them walked slowly through the night, one after the other.
There was a lot of people over there, and it was lively, and no one noticed the two people here.
Probably they wouldn't have thought that in the middle of the night, someone would run into the depths of the forest.
The two went around to the other side of the tent.
The separation is close, and naturally it can be seen clearly.
The tent was not completely closed, and through the gap, they saw a group of children tied up inside.
The youngest was seven or eight years old, the oldest was sixteen or seventeen years old, there were boys, there were girls, about a dozen, they were thrown in the tent with their limbs tied, huddled together.
Those teenagers and girls, everyone is different, but the only similarity is that they all look good, and the despair on their faces is the same.
Not only this tent, but there are several other tents next to it, and it seems that there should be children inside.
"What are they doing with these people?" An Li frowned.
Ye Qin didn't speak, and gently pulled the wild grass at his feet.
Soon, the two of them knew what the group was doing with these boys and girls......
Probably when the wine was finally finished, the strong men staggered to their feet.
They left the fire and walked straight in the direction of the tent.
When they were discovered, the children in the tent began to tremble violently, everyone had fear on their faces, a few teenagers and girls had a little more numbness on their faces, and a few young children cried directly, but not the kind of desperate crying, but covering their mouths, and even silently shed tears that they didn't dare to make a sound.
