Chapter 18: The City of Yod

As soon as the two returned home, Zhou Yao was stopped by Uncle Lei

"You're back just in time, pack up your things and we'll get out of here in a moment."

Uncle Lei was leading a black horse tied to the carriage, and said without raising his head when he heard Zhou Yao's footsteps.

The style of the carriage is a Western-style minivan, and two small sofas can be seen opposite each other in the window.

"Where did you get this thing?" Zhou Yao asked suspiciously.

"I found it in another warehouse, and I just used it to get a tool for stepping up."

"Hey, there's something like this in town? How I haven't seen it. Zhou Yao recalled for a while, and made sure that he had indeed not seen this carriage in his memory.

"I've only seen it once, a few years ago, when it was the fly that occasionally walked around Xiaoxue, and they walked around town when they moved in."

Uncle Lei stopped what he was doing, and when he saw the compress on Zhou Yao's face, he first raised his eyebrows, and then replied to him in a normal tone.

"Ah, that guy......" After Uncle Lei mentioned it, Zhou Yao immediately thought of who it was, it was the young man who had been beaten by him in the church, and the poor guy had already seen God in the cemetery.

"I heard that their family has a little aristocratic blood, but the devil knows if it's true."

Uncle Lei's tone was full of obvious disgust, and he didn't seem to have a good sense of the nobles.

"Oh, nobleman." Zhou Yao also pursed his lips after hearing this, no wonder the young man looked like his nostrils were facing the sky, it turned out that he thought he was superior.

His eyes moved to the front of the carriage, quietly waiting for Uncle Lei's black horse to tie the rope, and the part of the horse's eyes seemed to be a little swollen.

"Where did this horse come from?" Zhou Yao asked, pointing at the black horse.

The town has just been ravaged, and it is impossible for any creatures to survive, which can be understood from Uncle Lei's long-term walk around and not finding a single living person, and now there are only four survivors in the entire town.

"Horses? Ah, this guy, go out and catch it. Uncle Lei finished his work, patted the horse's back and said.

"There's a small group of dark horses to the east of town, so I went there and picked the strongest one and brought it back."

Maybe it was a little spirituality, and the dark horse heard that Uncle Lei was talking about it, and immediately lowered his head and rubbed Uncle Lei as if flattering.

The poor fellow, who must have been a proud presence in the clan, was arrested as a coolie, and it seemed that he was wrinkled. Zhou Yao couldn't help but mourn for it in his heart, they were all people with the same fate.

But then again, it is the most basic living place like the small town, so that there can be a docile animal like a black horse to survive, and if you change to another place, you may be eaten to the scum.

"Go in and pack your bags, and you'll be in Yoder City tonight." After Uncle Lei finished speaking, he also turned around and went back to pack his things.

"Pack your bags...... There's basically something to bring. ”

Zhou Yao walked into the house with a sigh, the grocery store didn't have much goods in the first place, and after being ravaged by the Dead Apostle lizard, there was nothing left, and his own personal belongings ...... I'm sorry, poor jingle ring, how can he have the money to buy any clothes or anything like that, the one he is wearing is still a gift from Lei Ruxue last year.

If anything, it's just the magic notebook for getting started, and ......

Zhou Yao touched the black stone in his pocket.

Zhou Yao, who had patiently searched the house, finally asked him to find something useful.

Ten hundred-yuan coins, a zero-yuan steel plate, the above are all Zhou Yao's belongings.

So much so that when Uncle Lei asked, he was completely despised.

"It's a shame that you still wanted to go to Yoder City alone, and this little money is not even enough for the association's registration fee."

Uncle Ray sat in the groom's seat and laughed naked at his innocence. The registration fee he said was the cost of applying for the entrance test. The Soul Removal Association, one of the three royal families, is not just a person who can join, and those who apply for membership need to pay the registration fee first, fill in personal information, and then test their talents, that is, magic circuits, and finally need to complete a practical assessment to be considered qualified.

He was about to go to Yode City, and of course Zhou Yao wanted to know about it, and he also knew that the spell holder had certain preferential treatment, and as long as he submitted an application, he would definitely be qualified. These were all told to him by Uncle Lei, so now when he heard Uncle Lei's ridicule, he didn't care at all.

He didn't care, it didn't mean that others didn't care, Lei Ruxue, who was sitting opposite him, comforted him softly.

"No, it's okay, Brother Yao will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

The two looked at each other, and Lei Ruxue subconsciously turned her head, and her cheeks flushed at the same time.

It seems that the previous intimate contact still made her unforgettable, so much so that as soon as she saw Zhou Yao, she recalled the scene at that time.

The carriage started, and at this moment, the four of them finally said goodbye to the town where they had lived for many years and embarked on the road to Yoder City.

Sadness and anguish remain in place, and a new future awaits ahead.

As you walk along the road, you will see a vibrant scene of spring blossoms along the way, which contrasts sharply with the shrinking town in sight.

The three of them sat in the carriage and started to play poker when they had nothing to do, and Sakiya's gambling skills came in handy at this moment, and all kinds of tricks and tricks were played. It was obviously a small game to pass the time, but she just completed the magic show, Zhou Yao was already numb to her omnipotence, and Lei Ruxue shouted again and again, "Take me as an apprentice!" ”。

Uncle Lei, who was driving the car, was a little itchy, and once wanted to put down the reins and have a discussion with Sakiya, not that he boasted, he used to be a man called the "bald gambling god", although this came out of his mouth.

Time passed quickly, and when the sun still had a small tail, the shadow of Yode City appeared in Zhou Yao's field of vision, a little earlier than Uncle Lei expected.

This can be attributed to the hard work of the dark horse, which is obviously a horse, but when it runs with a car, it has a speed that is not inferior to that of a car.

The appearance of Yode City is very atmospheric, with high walls and a solemn style, which seems to give people the illusion of an ancient city, which is an architectural form that is impossible to see in the modern era of Zhou Yao's previous life.

However, at this moment, Yode City seems to be a little sick, and in the final analysis, it is because the eyes of a few people are full of people sleeping in the open air, and there are at least a thousand people.

They spread all over the plain outside the city walls, piled up tents and set up iron pots in three or two, and many people were crying, shouting, shouting and scolding, and the scene was chaotic. I don't know where the war is going on, these are all refugees who have fled.

In fact, it was about the same, after asking a few groups of people who came to ask for dry food, Zhou Yao almost understood the situation at the scene.

In short, it's all Dead Apostles, and the people who are sleeping outside are refugees who have fled from the villages and towns near the city of Yod. Some have been here for two or three days, and some have just arrived today.

The disaster that happened to Zhou Yao also befell them, the flood of ghouls was infested, monsters were rampant, and many villages and towns were left unsurvived, but there were also some places where a small number of people escaped.

There may be only three or five survivors in a village or town, but there are no more than a thousand of them under the rule of Yod, so there is the present scene.

Not only Yode City, but also the neighboring cities are in a similar situation, and this is what I learned from the mouths of evacuees who ran to the neighboring cities.

The catastrophe of the Dead Apostles radiated beyond everyone's imagination, and Zhou Yao couldn't help but think of the "holy war" mentioned by Kark. The so-called holy war probably refers to the large-scale invasion of the Dead Apostles.

Just as he was thinking, a few more groups of people came to ask for food, perhaps because they saw someone get food from here before.

The kind-hearted Lei Ruxue couldn't bear to refuse them, but the food she brought was almost distributed, and in the face of pleading faces, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, and finally Zhou Yao and Uncle Lei, who still couldn't see it, forcibly drove them away.

Their behavior is understandable, after all, it is not very good to be able to escape, how can there be time to bring food and water, if you can, no one wants to sleep in the wild, but Yode City refused to accept the refugees on the grounds of limited space, and then distributed tents and pots, and distributed food once a day in the morning and evening, whether you can grab it depends on personal luck, after all, there are more and more refugees with food. Today's food has just been distributed, and most of the people who come to ask for it are guys who have not received food.

It's one thing to understand, but he is not a good person, and the dry food on his side may not be enough, how can he give it to them.

The sun had already set, and Uncle Lei, who felt that he could not stay any longer, drove the carriage to the city gate, and the onlookers along the way showed some sneer, ready to watch the next moment they were driven back by the guards.

But more people showed indignation and sadness after seeing the carriage, and in their impression, the people who could use this ** car were either rich or expensive, and it was impossible to treat them the same. Therefore, hatred of the rich will exist everywhere.

"Uncle Lei, are you sure you can let the doorman let us in?" Looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, Zhou Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Don't let us in? Ask my fist if you're willing! Uncle Lei said in a tone that was taken seriously by the guards.

"Well, you win." Hearing Uncle Lei say this, Zhou Yao will not ask any more. It's a big deal to let Sakiya put the "Dark Fog" in when the time comes.

"When I entered the city, I went to the place where I used to live, which was remote and not easy to find."

Flicking his horsewhip, Uncle Lei drove the carriage head-on to the city gate, and the doorman guarding the gate sensed that something was wrong and had already lifted out the wooden barricade.
