5. Follow the map

Qinglu took out a crumpled piece of paper, but there were many lines drawn crookedly on it, and the place names were written where the lines intersected, and the picture had been changed many times, and the handwriting of several people could be seen.

"This ...... They had already planned it. He tilted his head to look at the picture and sighed. She has a baby face, a round body, and crystal clear skin, although she is twenty-eight years old, she looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, and there is always a natural innocence in her demeanor.

"Where did you see this?" I asked Qinglu.

"In Yebi's pants pocket."

It seems that they did have a premeditated plan. I took the map from Qinglu's hand and looked at it carefully.

"The end is ...... Tyranny. Glancing at the map, he said, picking at his fingernails.

"They're crazy, aren't they?!" He snatched the map from my hand and double-checked, "They're probably really crazy." She was so weak that she handed me the map.

"It's not all here, let's go first. Follow this path. I pointed to a path that they hadn't touched many times, and it seemed like the Iron Heart was walking from here.

"Okay, let's go." They didn't say anything more.

Just crossed the Yangtze River, the banks are tall trees and dense forests, there are too many wild beasts, for us who are familiar with urban warfare, the wild is a very serious challenge, but for the male tribes who hunt in the wild all year round, jungle warfare is their specialty. Finding a town where you can stay overnight is a top priority.

Before the "New World", the Yangtze River was the place with the highest urban density, known as the "urban agglomeration", with a large population and high density. But before the advent of the "New World", it was also the place where the decline was most severe. Cities disappear, populations are drastically reduced, and diseases are rampant. Now, it has been uninhabited for a long time, the air is humid, and most of the buildings have been covered with vine plants, making the houses in the town uninhabitable.

The "rainy season" has just ended, and the moisture in the air is still quite large, and the sun is scorching on the top of the trees, and every breath is like breathing in glue, sticky and scorching. After all, there are few mosquitoes in the city, and in this jungle, a group of four of us has become a takeaway for mosquitoes.

"Shhhh Qinglu stopped, signaling danger.

"What's wrong?" Draw Bridge asked nervously.

"* Quiet. Over here. Qinglu reminded me of this, and I also noticed this unusual quietness. Everywhere there was the sound of chirping birds, but here there was no sound, there must have been some large animal or a large group of people lurking in the woods.

"Everybody is going back to back. Be aware of what is going on around you. ”

Just as we were nervous and sweating together, an arrow passed through the forest, and suddenly a lot of people burst out, men and women, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, their clothes were also tattered, and their faces looked like a group of Hanako surrounded us.

"It's a wanderer." Qinglu whispered in my ear.

"Yes."

"What do you mean? Are the Wanderers a tribe? "Draw the bridge and ask us.

I was about to explain to her when a burly rough man in the crowd shouted, "Who are you!" ”

All four of us were silent. Although the wanderers are all poor people who have no tribal affiliation, and their combat effectiveness is also very scummy, otherwise it would be impossible to choose to settle down in such a wood, whether they have to eat or not to wear clothes. But they have an advantage in numbers after all.

Dahan asked again: "The ...... Who is the boss among you? Stand up and speak! ”

Still no response.

"Okay, okay, look at you guys are handsome enough, and you know that you are from a big tribe, we just want something. What can I do with you? Don't dare, do you? ”

Such a stalemate is not an option. We'll have to get out of the woods and find a town where people can live before dark.

"Our steward and the team in front of us went to explore the way, and a few of us were in charge of finding water. If you strayed into the treasure land, let's borrow a way. "We can't let them think that we are just a few people, or they will find that we have nothing to give, and it is possible to sell us to other tribes.

"Oh, since it's a loan, then you have to bet on something. If you have borrowed the word, and no one has come back to pay it back, then we are not at a loss? ”

"You guys!" He was enraged by this strong word.

"Don't, let the stars say it. She could. Qinglu held it down.

"Ouch, this little girl is so white." The rough man is going to lean forward.

"Hey, wait. Don't mess around, boss. I don't know your temper, but I know the temper of our great chief, and I see that you are also a sensible person. I'll be honest too. Our six houses are the big chief, don't look so young, we have given birth to three boys and two girls for the chief, and the leader said that it is a piece of fertile land, and it will grow when it is planted, but it is a treasure. The nobles have a lot of things, and they say that their hands are dirty, and they want to find a stream to wash their hands, and we will protect them. What if something happens......" I laughed.

Sure enough, it shocked them, wanderers like them are okay to beg for food or something. Without fighters, without organization and assets, it is nothing. It is impossible to get up with any regular tribe.

The rough man was obviously disinterested, waved his hand, told the people with the messy weapons to withdraw, and shook his head to let us go.

We walked through their camp, stunned by its poverty, chaos and squalour. The tent is simply made of leaves and rags, not to mention sheltering from the wind and rain, I am afraid it will be difficult to shade from the sun. Many people were sick or wounded, and white maggots wriggled in and out of pus-filled wounds. The women were poorly clothed, and some were being forced to have sex by several dirty men, and the crying was extremely uncomfortable to hear.

As we were about to get out of this "hell", suddenly an old woman in ragged clothes, hunched over and wrinkled with a wrinkled face grabbed my hand. As soon as I turned around, I exclaimed, "Duhe!" ”
