When the fish balls climb over the rugged mountaintop, the view suddenly opens up.

Orange-yellow wildflowers bloom all over the ground, a stark contrast to the previously bare mountain trails. When the autumn breeze blows, waves rise in the sea of flowers, and this natural beauty always lifts the spirits of the weary traveler.

And the faintly recognizable town in the middle of the sea of flowers is the destination of this trip - Wind and Frost Town.

This was the sixth time he had crossed the valley.

Although Yumaru served as the squad leader of the high-altitude aircraft team, he was also a soldier of the First Army, and with the issuance of the accelerated evacuation order from above, many soldiers like him were also involved in emergency rescue.

Since the evacuation, he has not been attacked by the devil on this route, perhaps because it is too far away from the red mist, or maybe the devil does not look down on this fleeing refugee at all. But no matter what, every time you bring one more person back to Wudong, Wudong can have more strength.

And he has successively brought nearly a thousand people to the rear.

Traditionally, the team would be stationed outside the town, and then sent someone to negotiate with the remaining refugees before evacuating them in batches. As early as the first time they came, the First Army had warned the inhabitants that the road ahead was dangerous and that it was best not to advance south without permission. Just wait a few days in the town and the Grey Keep army will escort them out.

Of course, not everyone would believe such a statement, and in fact Yumaru has encountered a stumbling refugee on several occasions along the way, either running out of food or being chased by wild beasts. However, this is the luckier end, and the more unlucky ones die quietly in the valley.

Only this time, Yumaru noticed something different.

Looking from the half-slope, Fengshuang Town, which had been sparsely populated before, now has many more figures.

"Is this a big city that has collapsed?" Henson, the scout on the team, whistled, "There are so many refugees in just ten days, and we have to be busy." ”

Fish balls are also quite exciting, and there are only nearly 1,000 people who have traveled for a month or two before, and this trip may be enough to match or even surpass the previous results.

Although he did not know why the refugees had converged on this town at the bottom of the valley instead of taking the better route, the First Army was obliged to take them to safety as soon as they came.

When I thought of this, everyone's pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

The descent was much easier than the uphill, and after more than half an hour, the team had arrived at the camping site in Frost Town. Refugees in the town also noticed their arrival. Many people poured into the streets, and soon they converged into a stream of people running in their direction.

"These people...... I guess I'm too eager. Someone quipped.

"Didn't you say it would be good to let them wait in town?"

"Could it be that you have run out of food, and you want to ask for something from us?"

This sentence has won the agreement of most people.

"If it's really a collapse disaster in a nearby city, it's normal not to bring enough food," Yumaru quickly decided, "but this is not conducive to our counting of people and maintaining order, so we still have to stop them." Ten people came and I set up cards, and the others were on guard. ”

He knows very well that the crowd is terrible when it gets out of control, and if he can't stop the refugees and turn into robbery, these people will not be much different from robbers and bandits.

Most of the time, there is a fine line between the two groups.

"Yes!"

The soldiers quickly dispersed, holding the guns behind their backs in their hands.

As the distance between the two sides continues to get closer, the figure of the refugees is becoming clearer and clearer.

Yumaru raised the megaphone, turned up the loudspeaker and shouted, "This is the rescue team of the First Army of Gray Castle, please don't panic, stop immediately, stay where you are and follow the next instructions." We have plenty of food and medicine, but we need your cooperation to distribute them! Repeat, stop, or we will take coercive measures!"

The crowd hesitated slightly, but soon began to run again, as if something was pushing them from behind.

Yumaru frowned and asked his teammates to point their guns at the sky, ready to fire warning shots.

At that moment, Hansen let out a soft snort.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" asked Yumaru.

"Squad leader, their outfits seem a little strange......" Hansen said as he looked through his lookout glass, "Have you ever seen a refugee carrying a roll of cloth with him?"

"Strips of cloth?" Fish Ball was suddenly a little puzzled, he snatched the lookout glass and looked at the crowd - the distance between the two sides was almost three hundred meters at the moment, and the lookout glass could roughly see the other party's clothes and what they were carrying. Judging from the way they dressed, it was indeed a group of dejected fugitives, but as the scout said, most of them had long or short strips of cloth on their bodies, some of them were behind their backs, and some of them hung around their waists, which was strange to look at.

It is human nature for refugees to take with them whatever property they can with them before they flee. The First Army usually asks them to abandon their bags and travel lightly, but things that do not cause trouble or inconvenience to the migration, such as the Golden Dragon, do not interfere in principle. In the past two months, Yuwan has also seen a lot of strange "family wealth", but it is the first time I have seen the strip of cloth.

But the more he looked closely, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The refugees appeared to be dressed in tatters, with shoes on their feet. And the rotten clothes don't look old at all, but seem to have been destroyed in the near future.

The distance between the two sides has been reduced to within 200 meters.

"Uhh

A teammate fires a warning shot.

The crowd suddenly dispersed, and a scene of blood clotting appeared - probably startled by the sound of gunfire, several people at the head of the line panicked and lifted the cloth strip, and under the cloth was the standard rifle used by the First Army!

This act seemed to make waves in the crowd, and the others followed suit, and the strips of cloth of different lengths were actually used to hide weapons, and everything from swords to halberds could be said to be wrapped underneath.

It dawned on him that this was a trap!

"Back to camp!" Uyoball yelled at his teammates, "Run!"

Before the words fell, there was a dense burst of gunfire over there!

Yumaru even heard the sound of bullets flying past his ears, and the surrounding grass splashed strings of dirt from time to time, and the other nine people also reacted, and they all turned around and rushed towards the camp-

The team had camped there several times, and although there were no bunker trenches, the improvised gravel barracks still existed. It was originally built to fight against the devil that might appear, but now it is the only shelter on the empty hillside.

By the time Fish Ball crawled and ran into the camp, there was no longer a single team member standing in the field, and compared to the incessant gunfire on the opposite side, the return fire in the camp was very scattered - compared to the nine people who set the card, the team of more than forty people was obviously a more striking target, and the thought that they might be shot unguarded, Yu Ball's heart rose to his throat.

He grabbed Hansen, "Quick, go see how everyone is doing!"

After the other party ran away with his body low, he also raised his gun and aimed at the "refugees" who surrounded him from all directions.

No...... They are not real refugees, but probably nobles who have fallen into the service of the devil!

Only the devil could get so many weapons of the First Army!

Damn, Uyomaru thought hatefully, he never expected his kind to use the refugees to set such a trap - didn't they understand who they were doing?

"Squad leader," Hansen came back sooner than he expected, and it didn't take more time to count, "everyone is fine, only one person has been slightly injured, and it has been bandaged, and it basically does not hinder the battle." ”

Yumaru couldn't help but be stunned, "Only one person was injured?" The body of the gun just now was obviously so intense.

"Yes," Hansen also seemed relieved, "luck seems to be on our side for the time being." Now that everyone has divided their positions, we will hold on until the last moment!"
