The people of Modu felt as if they were in a nightmare, having just escaped from their monster-infested homeland to Sioux City, and had settled down for less than a week, but they encountered a terrifying mosquito influx and embarked on a journey of escape again.

Luckily they were on the edge of the city, and luckily the smug tide behind them, which was rumored to have devoured the army, did not keep up with them. They form long groups, like African migratory wildebeests, shuttling through lakes and rivers and mountain roads.

For several days, wherever they passed, they searched for all kinds of food, and used all means to fill their stomachs, but it was only a drop in the bucket for the huge number of people, and every day there would be people who were too hungry to walk, and every day there would be disputes and even fights over food. By the end of the day, the long queue had split into several small camps, and they no longer trusted each other.

Between the vast Hongze of Su and Wu, there are countless small fishing villages and villages, and this group of displaced people who escaped from the city has exerted their ferocity since ancient times, and the young and strong people among the various small groups have gone out to hunt for food, in fact, they have taken away all their food reserves before the villagers have time to react.

Jiang Luo and Diana, who set out from the outskirts of the magic capital, rode the panda all the way and stopped, and after four or five days, they came to a vast lake area, which should be the water town area between the magic capital, Sioux City and Jiaxing. I don't know if it's because of the monster, many small towns are closed, but no one walks outside in broad daylight, if it weren't for the open windows and there were still people in the windows, Jiang Luo almost thought it was a dead city.

Along the way, under the protection of the giant bear Ah Mao, one or two mutant monsters encountered were easily managed, and Jiang Luo and Diana arrived at the town along the road without any danger.

When he first walked into the town from the road, he also encountered three or four mutated humanoid corpse monsters, but they were quickly torn to pieces by Ah Mao, who is now very good at this, and his skills are becoming more and more proficient.

Because Ah Mao's size is too large, it is too eye-catching, Jiang Luo and Diana can feel the curious eyes coming from the building every time they walk, but fortunately, Ah Mao is still a panda in appearance, so he is not regarded as a monster.

"That's not going to work, there's no way to communicate with people at all." Also, with a giant bear the size of a stretch car, what normal person would dare to talk to you?

"In this case, you take Ah Mao to this town to inspect it, and by the way, you can deal with those corpse monsters in the open place." Jiang Luo said to Diana that he was not worried about any danger Diana would encounter when she went out. Along the way, Ah Mao has proven his terrifying strength, knowing that in a normal state, a panda has scalpel-like claws and the second-highest bite force of bears, let alone after multiplying its size.

"Yes, senior, be careful, if anything happens, hide first, and wait for us to come back!" Diana said, patting Ah Mao's ear and climbing up along Ah Mao's low body.

Jiang Luo walked alone on the empty street, and finally found a small shop that was not closed at a corner, he walked in, but found that the store was as if it had been ransacked, garbage was thrown everywhere, but nothing remained on the shelves.

In just a few days, his injuries were almost healed, and as he hurried, he was thinking about what was going on with his strange self-healing ability, recalling what had happened in the fog forest that day, and he probably had a vague guess in his mind, but he couldn't verify it.

"Hey, is there anyone......" Jiang Luo knocked on the door of a house, and just now he saw a figure in the window on the second floor of this house.

After the family was knocked impatiently, an aunt finally came down, she carefully looked outside through the cat's eye of the security door, and found that Jiang Luo was the only one, so she scolded angrily and said: "Why are you here again, my house has long been empty!" ”

It turned out that she thought that Jiang Luo was also a refugee who escaped from the city, just a few days ago, a group of refugees from the city came to the town, at first the townspeople were very friendly to them, they used the money to buy things in the town, and told about the horrors that happened in the city of Suzhou. But soon the people of the town found that they did not have enough food, and naturally they did not want to sell it anymore, and they became bad, and they wanted to buy the food of the town. After the bad thing happened, because the guards in the town had already been transferred out, everyone had no choice but to close the gate and wait for this group of plague gods to leave early.

"Big ...... Sister, I want to ask where is this? Jiang Luo, who was going to be called Auntie, temporarily changed his words.

This guy can talk! The aunt was overjoyed, but she still didn't let her guard down, and her tone softened a lot, "You just escaped here?" ”

Jiang Luo snorted.

The aunt said: "You don't know, a while ago, you people from the city came here, like thieves, very strong, and now everyone is afraid of you!" ”

Then the aunt stood behind the door and talked to Jiang Luo about what had happened in the past few days, and the group of people in the city who fled from Sioux City were like robbers......

A catastrophe in Sioux City?

"Eldest sister, do you see any troops passing by here?"

"Troops? What troops, if there are troops, they must first arrest this group of robbers! The aunt scolded fiercely.

"Eldest sister, do you know what catastrophe happened in Sioux City, and why did they run out?"

"Ouch, you don't know if you're from the city? Asked me, I don't think you're from Sioux City, right? I advise you to hurry up and don't run into those bandits in Sioux City, they are unreasonable! ”

But Jiang Luo felt like he had caught some clue, Su Cheng! What happened to Sioux City in the Demon Capital, was it also the emergence of large-scale corpse monsters and mutated creatures, so the whole people had to retreat......

But this aunt didn't know much, so Jiang Luo had to follow the direction she indicated to go to the town square to find the refugees from Sioux City who had set up camp for verification.

Jiang Luo left a mark for Diana along the way, this is the agreed way of communication on the previous escape, the two have long had a tacit understanding, as long as they see the mark, they can quickly find each other, which is also the last way after the mobile phone communication fails.

After crossing the secluded and narrow road, Jiang Luo finally saw the so-called square in the town, which was a dam the size of a football field, which was supposed to be used to dry millet or something, but at the moment it was occupied by all kinds of "tents". In fact, the tent is a frame supported by wooden sticks covered with a layer of plastic or rags, which can barely cover it, so that colorful tents are everywhere.

The people of the city, who were usually well-dressed, were now in a state of disarray, and they had not changed their clothes for several days, covered in stains, and sat unkempt and listless in their tents to rest. No one paid attention to Jiang Luo, in his eyes, this was just another refugee. Everyone was a stranger, and no one would stand up and ask him in such a situation.

"Hey, brother, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Luo, who looked confused, saw a bald young man about 1.5 meters old looking at him.

"Me? I got separated from my friends......"

"That's it, brother, it's all like this, how can you care about finding friends, it's better for you to join us!" He approached Jiang Luo and whispered.

"Occupancy? What do you mean? ”

"Don't pretend, don't tell me that you've been running away alone for so many days?" The bald young man had an incredulous expression.

It turned out that in order to survive in the wilderness on the side of the road, the refugees who escaped from Sioux City formed small teams to find food supplies together, and this kind of small team of more than ten people was the most suitable.

"My name is Fang Wu, Fang Fang, and Wu who doesn't." The young man pointed at himself with his bald head and introduced that he had already taken Jiang Luo's silence as a default.

"Brother Fang, you escaped from Sioux City?"

"You're not the same." Fang Wu led Jiang Luo through a small alley and came to a dilapidated building.

"Don't look at the broken house, we're good compared to them." Fang Wu pointed to the people who were eating and sleeping in the square, most of them were women, children and the elderly. Fang Wu and they occupied a dilapidated building as a habitat, not to mention any etiquette and morality, in such a situation, it would be very good to take care of themselves, on the way to escape, there were people who were starved to death, and there were also people who were directly killed in conflicts with people, which has long been common.

Entering the dilapidated building, Jiang Luo first saw the red-haired young woman sitting on the sofa, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing heavy makeup, and she was already neatly dressed in a group of refugees. Beside her were seven young men in school uniforms, with long hair and flat heads, but none of them looked like good students. There were also steel rods in their hands.

"Fang Wu, what are you doing with this weak chicken back?" The young woman spoke recklessly.

"Big sister, I want him to join the gang." Fang Wu smiled flatteringly.

The young woman pointed at Jiang Luo with the back of her head full of red hair, and looked through the mirror, this weak young man always made her feel very unhappy.

"Our team doesn't raise waste!" A tall and sturdy young man with a flat head and a scar on his face said disdainfully.

"I'm not trash." Although Jiang Luo didn't want to join them, he was curious about what they did.

"Come with me!" The red-haired young woman threw a steel rod to Jiang Luo and walked out with a big grin, and the seven followers also went out.

"She's your boss?" Jiang Luo followed at the back of the team and asked Fang Wu in a whisper.

"She's not the boss, but her brother is."

Oh, the second generation of "black", Jiang Luo sighed in his heart, this young woman thought there was something outstanding about this young woman, but it turned out to be a relational household......

Mu Huo held a small black iron basin with a bowl of milky white fish soup in it. It took him and his brother most of the day to catch a few small fish, their mother fell ill on the way to escape, and there was no doctor in the town.

Mu Huo swallowed his saliva when he smelled the fish soup, which was once forced by his mother to drink, but now it made him salivate. When they walked into the camp, he and his brother Mu Shui covered the mouth of the basin with their sleeves to prevent the fragrance from overflowing.

In the past few days, they have also seen a lot of bad things, many people will take away other people's food, but this pot of fish soup must not be snatched away by anyone, because it has to be given to the sick mother.

Fortunately, the camp was full of aunts, grandfathers and children, and no one noticed him, and they returned to the tent safely.

"Eminem, this is the fish soup I made with my brother, you drink!" He handed the iron basin to his mother.

Mu Mu took the iron basin with her pale and weak fingers, smelled the fragrance in the iron basin in a daze, as if she was frightened, grabbed Mu Huo and asked, "Xiaohuo, where did the fish soup come from?" ”

"Eminem, it hurts, this is the fish I caught by my brother and I in the river to boil for you......"

"Didn't I tell you not to run around! Why are you so disobedient...... Mu Mu looked at the seven-year-old Xiao Muhuo and the eight-year-old Xiao Mushui, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"But Eminem said that fish soup is very nutritious, and I think drinking it can cure diseases."

Mu's mother took a bite of the fish soup and handed it to her two sons, who took out a crumpled Dove chocolate from the package she had brought to the dai.

"Come, this is Eminem's reward for your ......"

But before she could finish her sentence, the rudimentary curtain outside the tent was rudely lifted, and a hideous scarred face was revealed.

"Yo, what is the cat eating in it, show it to everyone!"

It's them! Those unscrupulous youths, since everyone escaped from Sioux City, the group to the south are basically old, young, sick and disabled, these young gangsters rely on their physical strength, in the ranks of refugees, stealing their food many times. Another time an old man had a conflict with them, and he was broken by this scar-faced thug with a stick, and he was no longer halfway there.

Although they are wearing school uniforms, they are not students at all, they are definitely gangsters! And it's the ruthless kind.

Scarface reached out and snatched the Dove chocolate from Mu Huo's hand, and looked greedily at the fish soup that still had half a bowl.

"It smells so good!"

He was about to reach for the iron basin, but there was a pair of hands that were faster than him, and they were the silent bathing water. Eight-year-old Mu Shui ran the fish soup with his small hand and stared at Scarface viciously.

"Yo, the kid is quite horizontal! I'm going to teach you how to be a man today! ”

As he spoke, Scarface stretched out his huge slap and slapped Mu Shui.
