Chapter XXIV

After a long time, one can perceive the dim sun gradually setting in the west. There was a light rain in the air. Fine, dense rain fell from the sky, finer than a needle, softer than silk threads, slanted on people's bodies, and fell silently in the camp. The mist was low on the ground, and a hazy pale moonlight could be seen when you looked up.

Jiang Ke came to the assembly venue in the center of the camp as agreed.

The others had already arrived, and as they had done last night, they were gathered around a rudimentary radio, listening to messages from the Creator.

When Daisy saw Jiang Ke coming, she got up and greeted him, with a gentle smile on her face. "You're really punctual, come, eat something first." Daisy enthusiastically handed the food in her hand to Jiang Ke, and then took him to sit in the venue.

"Today! We are here to mourn the loss of two of our friends, Ben and Jackson. Since the establishment of our camp, the two of them have sacrificed their lives and sacrificed their lives to go to Anchorage, the "lair", many times, bringing us life supplies again and again. We thank them for all they have done for us. Chris stood in the middle of the field, holding up his glass and said loudly. However, it is difficult to read a look of grief on his face.

Everyone lowered their heads and came together to hug each other. For a moment, the scene looked very sad, and Chris also lowered his head.

And Jiang Ke just stood on the periphery of this hugging circle, silently watching this gathering full of mutual aid associations.

After a few moments, Chris reached out and motioned for the group to be quiet and returned to his place. "Grief is inevitable, the dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our new friends with full spirit! With that, Chris began to take the lead in clapping. Encouraged by him, the people around him also erupted in thunderous applause.

"Come on! Please introduce yourself and tell us your story", Chris spared no effort to render the atmosphere of the audience, "As our new member, please treat this place as your home, and talk as you like, without any constraints." ”

Jiang Ke sneered in his heart, this kind of mutual aid meeting he had only seen on TV before, but now it happened to him. But he still admires Chris's ability and aura, although he uses some disgraceful things, I have to say that he is a very incendiary person.

Jiang Ke walked to the front, looked around at everyone, and slowly spoke, his voice was quite low and hoarse, which made people sound very comfortable. "I'm from the Celestial Empire, I'm a tourist, and I met this apocalypse on the way back from my trip," he paused, "That's pretty much it. ”

As he finished speaking, some of the people below began to applaud, and Chris said gracefully, "Please introduce your new friend." ”

"Just call me Ke." Jiang Ke finished speaking briefly, ready to return to his position, he was not very accustomed to such a scene, although he had done a good job.

"It seems that our new friend is not very good at speaking! But that's okay, that doesn't stop us from welcoming him. Chris said, taking the lead in applauding, and after hearing the words, the people around him gathered around.

The crowd made Jiang Ke feel embarrassed for a while, he was a little unnatural, but he still cooperated patiently. Before Ruby can act, they must gain the trust of the people here.

"Today, I was supposed to have a welcome ceremony with the other two, but unfortunately everyone knows their physical condition, so Ke will represent the three of them!" Chris tilted his head to look at Jiang Ke, very sympathetic to say that he could understand the embarrassment at the beginning, but this was a ritual after all, and I hope he can cooperate well.

Jiang Ke had no choice but to take a deep breath and said hurry up and start.

Chris smiled, he raised his hand, held Jiang Ke's shoulder, and led him into the crowd, "Invite our new friends to the middle of the crowd, everyone hugs each other, and from then on we will be a family." ”

Jiang Ke was helpless, but he could only do it. Being surrounded by a group of addicts like this made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The overwhelming group of people gradually surrounded Jiang Ke, squeezing Jiang Ke impenetrable, and countless hands were attached to Jiang Ke's body.

It lasted like this for dozens of seconds, and Chris didn't speak, and the crowd showed no signs of dispersing.

"Uh...... How much longer? I can already feel your enthusiasm. Jiang Ke asked helplessly.

"I'm sorry," Chris said apologetically, and then, a triumphant smile appeared on his face, "Okay, okay." Now is the time. ”

As his voice sounded, the hands hidden under the crowd stabbed Jiang Ke with knives one by one. Jiang Ke tried to struggle, but his hands were grabbed by many people, and his legs had been stabbed dozens of times one after another, almost taking away his consciousness.

"Don't blame me, the Creator chose you! You should feel honored. Chris stood aside, the smile on his face had turned hideous, while Daisy beside him still maintained that gentle smile and watched it all happen.

Jiang Ke heard the three words creator come out of Chris's mouth, and all his anger seemed to move to those two bloodshot eyes, and then the veins in his neck burst out. It makes people feel that he will rise up anytime and anywhere, and scatter the crowd in front of him.

However, when he saw one side of Jaime and Ruby being held hostage and walked out, his feet seemed to have roots, and his eyes were desperately wide as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets. Jiang Ke's fingers slashed into the flesh of his palm until his nails gradually became red with blood. The veins of his temples were filled with hot bodily fluids, as if they were going to lift up the small skull and melt his brain into a blazing fire.

"Enough! Don't poke it! If you go down again, you will be stabbed to death! Chris shouted the order.

Jiang Ke didn't make a sound, but his various expressions of excitement made people feel that a roar burst out of the pores of his body, and it was even more terrifying for him to be silent. Seeing Jiang Ke's state at this time, Chris couldn't help but take two steps back.

At this time, everyone stopped the movements in their hands, but the hand holding down Jiang Ke did not relax in the slightest.

At this moment, Jiang Ke was already a little unsteady on his feet, his legs were stabbed with flesh and blood, he trembled, but insisted on not letting himself fall.

Immediately, the three of them were brutally tied hand and foot, and were thrown into the tent where Jiang Ke woke up first.

Chris kept a safe distance from them, and Jiang Ke's silence, that kind of contiguation, and even sarcasm showed him, he was a little overwhelmed, but thinking that the messenger of the creator was coming, he quickly ordered someone to light three bonfires, and then went back to his tent with Daisie.

“Ke! Are you okay?! You're bleeding badly! Someone! Ke is dying! If you want to capture us alive! You don't want to die like this, do you?! Jaime looked at the bloodied Jiang Ke, his face pale, he had never seen Jiang Ke so badly injured. His thighs looked like they were shattered, and his eyes were startled without the anger of Fang Cai, only silent and gloomy at the moment, like the rainy sky outside, with a terrible chill.

"Ke......" Ruby was very anxious, she was worried and remorseful, worried about Jiang Ke's physical condition, regret If it wasn't for her weak physique, Jiang Ke would not have ended up in this field.

"What a noise! Feel relieved! He won't be allowed to die! Jaime and Ruby were at a loss when Jenny walked in with a medical kit.

"Bandage him!" Jaime said excitedly.

"Hmph, I'm enjoying seeing you like this. If you hadn't ......," Jenny said, pulling out some powder and sucking it up.

"You don't really blame us......" Jaime tried to argue.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so poor!" Jenny shook her head, and Jiang Ke's expression changed when she heard this.

Jiang Ke saw that the woman in front of him began to become gradually abnormal under the influence of the drug, and he suddenly said out loud, "Actually, he has something for me to bring to you." His voice was as steady as ever, as if he had not been injured at all, without even a hint of trembling.

"Really?" Jenny didn't seem to react much to this remark.

"Ke, do you really want to give a gift at this time?" Jaime looked at Jiang Ke a little incredulously, and Jiang Ke's opening made him breathe a little relieved.

"You know what it is, it's the little gift he brings you every time." Jiang Ke's voice was full of bewitchment, and he was throwing bait.

"Really?! Where is it! Give me what belongs to me! When Jenny heard this, she became excited, but because of the influence of the drug, she had some difficulty moving and spoke in a strange way.

"Yes, you heard it right. But as always, you know, you're going to change. Jiang Ke said to her slowly.

Jenny took a breath and began to tear her clothes without hesitation.

"Holy! Ke: Do you still have this hobby? Jaime swallowed and asked, turning his head.

Ruby closed his eyes.

Jiang Ke ignored Jaime at all, and since he spoke, he just issued orders directly, and didn't look at Jaime or Ruby. "Jenny! Stop it! Let's play something else today. You look for something as I say, and if you find it, I'll give you a reward. ”

Jenny looked at Jiang Ke thoughtfully, and after a while, she nodded heavily like a kindergarten child, and then sat down in front of Jiang Ke in rags, waiting for his instructions.

"Jenny, listen carefully to me, your first task is to find our backpack. You've seen it, and I carried it on my back when I came back. ”

Jenny seems to be still under the influence of the drug, and it took a long time for her to react. She got up, staggered like a drunk, stumbled out.

"Yours is yours! But will she be able to find something this way? Jaime couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he was still very worried, wondering if Jenny would be able to complete Jiang Ke's series of instructions before the effect of the medicine was over.

"Luck." Jiang Ke said in a deep voice. He took a deep breath, it was clear that the pain in his leg was tearing his spirit apart, and it took him a lot of effort to get rid of his pain and think about it. "By the way, what about Andrew?" Jiang Ke asked.

"Before I was caught, I ordered it to run away." Ruby said on the sidelines, trying to control her voice, she didn't want to show her weakness at this moment.

"That's good......" Jiang Ke was relieved.

"Can you still worry about dogs at this juncture?" Jaime tilted his head, but his heart was full of reverence for Jiang Ke.

After a long time, it began to be quiet outside, except for the occasional sound of a few people building a campfire.

Jenny finally returned, and she threw her bag on the ground and sat down limply.

"I found it!" Jaime said happily.

Jiang Ke was very weak, but fortunately, the murder weapons that hurt him were relatively short sharp weapons, and the wounds were not very deep, otherwise such a bleeding amount could have taken a person's life.

"Take the dagger out of my bag." Jiang Ke commanded Jaime.

Jenny slowly crawled in front of Jiang Ke and stretched out her hand.

"Good girl, I'll give it to you later." Jiang Ke comforted Jenny.

Jenny nodded obediently and sat back down like a well-behaved house dog.

"This drug is horrible......" Ruby couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! Don't touch it. Jaime seriously reminded her that after all, she was only a minor who had lost her guardian, and as a member of society, she had the obligation to guide her correctly.
