Chapter 12: The Ancient City Recovered by Mankind

Li Nan and Bai Ying finally walked out of the vast forest, the sound of running water in front of them became louder, and at the same time, the cries and cries of humans could be heard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Be careful, follow me."

After Li Nan whispered to Bai Ying, he slowly approached the place where the sound came from under the cover of the grass more than a meter high on the ground, and after a few minutes, the two finally saw the traces of humans.

On the other side of a creek that could be five or six meters wide, there were seven or eight people of different ages who were tied together by a rope and were crying out in terror.

Two chaotic men were sorting out their food by the stream, and a man who had passed out and was slightly fat.

The skilful chaotic man tore off all his clothes, slit the fat man's throat, and put all the blood into the pit dug in the ground, and after disemboweling it, he poured all the internal organs into the pit except the heart, and then buried it with a shovel in his hand.

After washing the body in the stream, the man's body was cut into small pieces on a large flat stone to the west, and the other chaotics were brought to the lit fire and roasted, and one of them was in chaos and put a branch in his washed heart and roasted it.

Bai Ying, who was hiding in the grass, covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress the feeling of vomiting, and when Li Nan saw this, she quickly pulled off a few green grass balls and stuffed them into Bai Ying's mouth.

Bai Ying chewed hard a few times, the bitterness of the grass suppressed the disgust in her heart, and she asked softly in a very incomprehensible voice, "Why do they eat the same kind?" Isn't there anything else to eat? ”

"If human beings don't have technology and equipment, they are actually the weakest species in nature, we have neither fangs and claws, nor gills and wings, nor do we have huge body size and thick skin, so after the cataclysm, in the face of fierce mutant creatures, many people will set their sights on their own kind, easy hunting, rich oil, and tender meat, these characteristics have cultivated a lot of crazy chaotic people."

As the two whispered their words, the chaotic people on the other side of the creek seemed to feel that there was not enough food, and began to pick among the others, and the seven or eight humans who were bound by the ropes began to retreat in fear, and the cries of pleading and scolding rang out.

The thin man who was tied up with a rope pushed the woman next to him, "Eat her eat her, she is only twenty-seven years old, and it is the time when the meat is tender." ”

Not to be outdone, the woman began to scratch the man, and scolded angrily: "Wang Kai, you bastard, you forgot when you knelt on the ground and proposed, and now you push your wife forward?" ”

The chaotic man who chose the ingredients ignored the two of them, but looked at them one by one with bloodshot eyes, and finally selected a little girl of five or six years old, who smiled at the other chaotic people: "Who caught this, I haven't eaten whole roasted people for a long time, and today is just the right time to satisfy my hunger." ”

A woman in her thirties tried her best to hide the little girl of five or six years old behind her, crying and begging: "Let my daughter go, she is only five years old, she has not lived a good life since she was born, you can eat me if you want." ”

An old man with gray hair who was squatting on the ground stood up, "Eat me, I've already lived enough, let this kid live one more day." ”

"you!" The chaotic man slashed at the old man standing in front of him with the back of the mountain opener in his hand, licking his charred teeth with his bright red tongue, "There is tender meat, who eats your old meat." ”

Bai Ying, who was hiding in the grass, grabbed Li Nan's arm and said with some excitement: "Uncle, shall we save that girl?" ”

Li Nan counted the number of chaotic people and said softly: "Thirteen chaotic people, you will come to support me after dealing with the three by the stream, understand?" ”

Bai Ying looked at Li Nan with relief and said clearly: "Understood! ”

Seeing that the chaotic man had already kicked down the mother and was about to grab the little girl, Li Nan and Bai Ying rushed out of the grass one after another.

"Bang, bang"

The May Fourth pistol in Li Nan's hand first hit the forehead of the chaotic man who was selecting ingredients, and then used the fastest rate of fire to knock down the six chaotic people who were carrying guns on their backs and did not react, dropped the pistol with empty bullets, and began to chase down the other chaotic people with a Mosberg 500 pump shotgun.

Although Bai Ying's marksmanship was a beginner's practice, within a distance of more than ten meters, coupled with a sneak attack, he still killed the three chaotic people by the stream.

In an instant, all thirteen chaotic people were killed by two of them, and Bai Ying followed Li Nan's teaching, and pulled out his Advance Warrior War Knife to make up a few knives on each chaotic person's body.

Bai Ying came to these people who were caught, cut the ropes on their bodies with a knife, saw the frightened eyes of the little girl, became emotional, took out a piece of chocolate from the escape bag she carried and handed it to her.

"Eat, don't be afraid, there is no danger now, my sister will not hurt you."

Li Nan drank happily in the upper reaches of the stream, filled the kettle and handed it to Bai Ying in front of her, and said to these caught people: "We are revenators, so you don't have to be afraid, where did you get caught?" Are there any gathering points and misty worlds around here? ”

The young woman, who had just mingled with her husband, straightened her hair and said with a flattering smile: "You are from somewhere else, I am most familiar with this neighborhood, there is a recovered county town more than ten miles away from here, and we all come from there." ”

"The recovered county?"

The young woman's words really shocked Li Nan, five years after the catastrophe, he also traveled to several provinces in the south, passing by dozens of gathering places, but he had never seen a particularly large gathering point, who could recover a county seat.

"Let's talk about it in detail."

"The person who recovered the county was originally a wilderness hunter, and later he studied the laws of the misty world, and every time he would take people into the independent world to explore, he brought back a lot of machinery and equipment, and gradually drove away the mutated creatures in the county town by relying on these things, everyone doesn't know what this person is called, but at first he killed a lot of opponents with a steel rod, so people called him the stick king."

Bai Ying and Li Nan gathered away the things left by the chaotic people, no one dared to ask for their food, they only got three worn-out AK rifles, two May Fourth pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, it seems that these chaotic people are living a very average life.

On the way to the county seat, the young woman Han Xue also introduced some other things to everyone, in the county ruled by the stick king, the pyramid-like hierarchy was implemented, the stick king and his brothers enjoyed the first-class treatment, the people with excellent martial arts and marksmanship were the second class, the people with one skill were the third class, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled were the lowest pedestals.

Han Xue was originally a teacher at the school, and her husband was a petty official in the education system, but now people like them in the county town belong to the gray-haired old farmer who has no special skills and is not as good as the gray-haired old farmer who is together, at least the old farmer can grow vegetables.

For a long time, Han Xue has relied on selling her hue to support herself and her husband, but she didn't expect that in front of the chaotic people, Wang Kai showed her true colors. After everyone was rescued by Li Nan and Bai Ying, Han Xue completely broke with Wang Kai, and she also surrounded Li Nan intentionally or unintentionally on the road, she knew that a person with accurate marksmanship like Li Nan would live very well in the county, and if she could rely on him, she would not be able to live so hard.

Bai Ying was a little depressed about Han Xue's clinging to Li Nan, but Li Nan has always been well-behaved to her, and she has no say in the affairs of men and women, so she can only sulk on the side.

The road of more than ten miles is not too far, Li Nan soon saw the recovered county seat, and when he saw the blue brick city wall more than ten meters high from a distance, Li Nan couldn't help but admire that this stick king chose well.

This county is an ancient city, originally there were four city walls made of blue bricks and two city gates in the north and south, these things that were preserved as monuments, after the end of the world, after artificial reinforcement and maintenance, it quickly played its original role.

Walking closer, Li Nan saw a Czech 7.9mm light machine gun and a 60 mortar on the tower of the blue brick city, such an ancient weapon should have been made from that anti-Japanese war film and television drama, and then the guards who came out of the city gate also confirmed Li Nan's guess, because he was holding a pistol in the southern fourteenth type, commonly known as the 'Wang Eight Box', which is very familiar to the Chinese.

It seems that this guard has also taken care of Han Xue's business, "Han Xue, didn't you go out of the city to find food?" Where did these two people come from? ”

"Brother Cui, don't you know, our team looking for food was captured by those man-eating beasts wandering nearby, fortunately these two revenants saved us, otherwise we would have been eaten like Zhao Fatzi."

The guard surnamed Cui originally looked at Li Nan and Bai Ying with some arrogance, and when he saw the bloodstained AK rifle Li Nan was carrying, a smile appeared on his face, "You are a revenant, that is the person with real skills, come in with me, our city lord needs people like you." ”
