When the horse team reached the bottom of the ridge, they were blocked by a pass.

There is a pennant here, and there is only one "fan" character on it.

It can be seen that the pass is temporarily erected, and there are a few people wearing camouflage uniforms, wearing military hats crookedly, and the discipline buckle is not buttoned, and there is no military temperament, although there are domestic 63 imitation Soviet AK rifles hanging on their bodies, it still looks like a group of migrant workers, and several of them point their guns at everyone.

"Leave the stuff and the horse behind. If you dare to mess around, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

The sudden accident made Zhao Xinghua and the others stunned for a while, and now they have left Suishi for hundreds of kilometers, and it is the first time that they have encountered someone blocking the road and robbing them.

One of them saw the tall Ning Yue on horseback, and the corners of his mouth let out a lewd smile, saying something in the ear of a leader, and then the leader motioned for a short man to run towards the mountain.

"Hurry up, or the guns of Lao Tzu are not vegetarians, so they all get off the horse, and the men stand on the left and the women stand on the right. The disobedient ones are like the people in the woods, hehe......"

The man pointed his gun at the woods on the left, where there were twenty dried human heads. Everyone's eyes just now were attracted by the "Fan" character flag on the checkpoint, so no one noticed the human heads hanging in the forest, and at this time, it seemed that the shriveled heads of different sizes were clearly young and old, and these people had been doing this kind of thing for a long time.

"Jiaojiao!"

Zhao Xinghua shouted in a low voice, and Jiaojiao immediately understood what he meant.

The two lickers who were blocked by the horse team and crawled immediately jumped up from the ground and jumped to the front of the team, and the huge body landed with a muffled sound, and at the same time made the men with guns scream, although they had never seen this thing, but when they saw this disgusting and terrifying appearance, they knew that this was definitely not a cat and a dog's pet, and someone had involuntarily pulled the trigger and swept to the two lickers below.

In the next second, the two lickers crawled along the straight wall of the stone wall to the top of the pass, and after several people on it let out a scream, they quickly regained their silence.

For the first time, Zhao Xinghua and the others let the lickers attack humans, and they were also very uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Captain, there are bandits in this world?!"

"This Xiaoxiang province is really strong!"

Zhao Xinghua couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Bandits, an ancient industry, can be immediately reunited and regrouped as long as there is a little space suitable for development in Xiaoxiang. During the troubled times of the past dynasties, Xiaoxiang's bandits emerged one after another. This time all mankind has entered a great age of chaos; A long-term anarchy, the consciousness of the small peasants who occupy the mountains was also reborn in due course, and the atmosphere of becoming bandits on the land immediately reared its head.

Since ancient times, there have been five roads from the Central Plains to Lingnan, two of which are in Guangdong Province, one is the Shaozhou Nanxiong Meiguan Ancient Road located in the Dagengling Mountains, and the other is the Lianzhou Nantian Ancient Road in the Qitian Mountains here. The Meiguan Ancient Road was opened by Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty, and this Nantian Ancient Road was used in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, there were many names for Qitianling, including Yangshan, Laling, Guiyangling, Keling Mountain, etc. Qin called Yangshan Pass, after the fierce iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire pacified Lingnan, in order to prevent the Yue people from invading the Central Plains to the north, the Qin army built a pass and set up a card in the dangerous place of the Nanling Mountains, which was the location more than 2,000 years ago. During the succession of the Qin and Han dynasties, several protracted battles broke out here, and the old Qin general Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Dynasty in Lingnan to block the southward advance of the Han Dynasty, and it was not until a hundred years later during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was able to conquer this pass. Since then, there has been no war for thousands of years, and Yangshan Pass has disappeared into the long river of history, and now it is used by a group of bandits to intercept property.

After the outbreak of the natural disaster, many madmen appeared in several nearby villages, eating the flesh and blood of relatives and friends. Fan Laosan was originally just an ordinary farmer's child, the third in the family, and before the end of the day, he went to Yancheng, Poyang and other places to work, worked as a foreman, hotel front desk manager and other positions, in this remote mountain is a knowledgeable person.

After the meteorite rain, Fan Laosan picked up a green stone in his yard, and at the same time gave him the speed and strength that ordinary people did not have, he led the young people in the village to open the militia's ammunition depot, and led people up the mountain to rob the post of a radar station, and made up more than a dozen guns in his hand, and cleaned up the diseased zombies in more than a dozen nearby villages, becoming the life-saving benefactor of the villagers. Influenced by the limitations of pre-apocalyptic knowledge and deep-rooted traditional thoughts, there are many such stories in the folklore of southern Hunan except for the armed uprising launched by Taizu to lay down today's Xinhua abroad.

In the absence of government management, without the constraints of the law, without the threat of zombies, like most of China's mountainous areas, there is no intact ecological environment like the Mangshan Forest Reserve, and there are no many evolutionary beasts.

In the six months since the outbreak of the disaster, his team has grown from more than a dozen people to more than 300 people, and he has also taken in many people with superpowers like him. After trying to do whatever he wanted, his greed became more and more vigorous, and things in the village were endless.

After tasting the sweetness and not seeing anyone to take care of it, they not only wanted to rob the house, but also prepared to occupy the land as the king, and sent people to blow up a section of the bridge of the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, and used a small section of stone wall left in ancient times to rebuild a temporary checkpoint, so that the Nantian Ancient Road once again became the only passage connecting Hunan and Guangdong provinces within a radius of 100 miles. It's just that under this kind of environment, there are not many people like Zhao Xinghua and others who still have the leisure to travel, and there is no one here for a month, so there are only more than ten guards left here today. Otherwise, with the terrain here and the support of thermal weapons, it is really not so easy to attack.

Traditionally, people became bandits as a result of forcing them to Liangshan. It is only in the turbulent times of famine years that people will take risks and grab some possessions to live on. But Hunan Province is not, bandits in Xiaoxiang is a prominent profession, in the past some of the giant bandits even became local celebrities, and even replaced local power. By 1950, the number of bandits operating in Hunan Province was still about 180,000, the largest concentration of bandits in the country, and the last bandit was not killed in Zhangjiajie until 1968. The treacherous, cunning, ferocious and cruel Tian Dabang in "The Story of the Bandits in Wulong Mountain" is based on Yao Dabang, a bandit from Huang County, Xiaoxiang Province, who arranged for mountain people to produce food and opium, collect taxes, and then buy more and better arms to control the growing mountainous territory. Many of the local self-government forces are closer to forming villages for self-defense. In addition, among the more than 100,000 bandits in Hunan Province, only a few are real professional bandits, and the vast majority of them are "part-time" who have nothing to do to farm, and when they have something to do, they pick up guns and follow the gang's actions, but they usually do not harass the locality.

In troubled times, bandits and soldiers have always been the two "mainstream professions" of Xiaoxiang young adults, and whether it is from bandits to soldiers, or from soldiers to bandits, it is a natural identity change for them, and there are not many psychological barriers. The overlord Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and defeated the Qin army of 200,000 with 20,000 Chu soldiers, leaving behind the proud saying that "although Chu has three households, Qin will be Chu". Zeng Guofan's 200,000 Hunan troops fought against more than one million Taiping troops in most of China, extending the life of the Qing court for 60 years. The young and strong of Hunan Province are soldiers, defending the hometown and defending the land, invincible, and invincible; As a bandit, he can also take advantage of it, dominate one side, and act recklessly.
