89. Hope

Ogres are a race that likes to eat fresh "food", they often do not kill all the "prey", they will experience catching alive if they can catch them alive, and then lock them up, just like storing food in winter, and then eat those fresh "foods" when the current "things" are all eaten.

There used to be a task in the Outlands that asked players to rescue those unlucky people who were captured by ogres, and Altea They dispatched more than 3,000 people this time, generally speaking, it is impossible for these more than 3,000 people to be eaten up at once, so there will be a large number of humans who are captured and locked up by ogres, and the task given to Zhang Li by Sorigal is to save these people to the greatest extent.

..................

Due to the influence of night, the twilight forest during the day is already very dark, and at night he can't see his five fingers, and this is the best camouflage for Zhang Li, the darker he is, the less easy it is to be discovered.

He sneakily came to Mount Vaugur, and there was still a lot of blood and minced meat on the mountain road, which only provoked a large swarm of flies and mosquitoes, buzzing and earth-shattering.

Perhaps the people who like war the most are these bugs, and they can eat a big meal every time there is a war.

The mountain was brightly lit, and Zhang Li found that the ogres were carnivaling, they were holding all kinds of human hands and feet and other things, and they didn't wash them and just baked them half-cooked and stuffed them into their mouths.

Is it really delicious without condiments? And are you sure you don't wash your feet? There are people here who probably don't wash their feet for months......

Well, ordinary people have already vomited nauseously when they see this cannibalistic scene, and Zhang Li is still struggling with these haves and haves.

Anyway, he began to search for the living.

The Vogours Col is not big or small, and Zhang Li can basically overlook the whole situation by opening the eagle eye on the top of the mountain, but because it is too dark, although there are many ogre's bonfires, there are always places that cannot be illuminated.

He needed to find as many places as he could, and then find a way to help them evacuate.

Everything is on his own, Sorigal can't provide him with much assistance, due to the aftermath of this defeat, his attention must now be focused elsewhere, it can be expected that those free people who have been persuaded to stay with great difficulty will definitely rise up to leave when they hear about this defeat, and those out-of-town merchants will also have hesitation, Sorigal has to find a way to minimize the impact, so he can't help Zhang Li too much.

There was only a small group of soldiers ready to meet them at the bottom of the mountain at all times, and other than that, Zhang Li just wanted some sleeping pills or anything like that.

Originally, he wanted to turn into a bird and throw sleeping drugs into the ogre's cauldron, but now he had to find another way to hide from the ogre's eyes.

Although the ogre is a low-IQ race, he will always arrange sentinels at night, do you want him to assassinate those sentinels one by one?

Think about the ogres he killed, their thick fat has almost no chance of being killed in seconds, if you can't see the blood to seal your throat, these ogres scream then what kind of plan has failed, so what should I do?

There is very little time left for Zhang Li, three thousand humans, if the ogre lets go of his arms and eats hard, he will eat it up in two days, and it doesn't seem to be difficult for an ogre to eat up a human in two days, so if he hasn't rescued people tomorrow, then he can only see them in the septic tank in the future, if there is a septic tank here.

In short, it was difficult for Zhang Li to come up with a good solution, so he decided to hang around this ogre camp first and figure out where the people were locked up first.

..................

Eventually, he discovered that the living were locked up in a cave in the deepest part of the world.

It looked like a natural cave, it was crowded with people, and those ogres seemed to be very confident in their own strength, so they didn't tie everyone up, so they just threw them into the hole, and then closed the wooden door, and sent two teams of ogres to guard it.

Zhang Liying easily blended in, and as soon as he entered, there were all kinds of moans and wails in his ears, the human beings with broken legs and feet were thrown into a pile babbling and screaming, and the undisabled were sitting and lying in a daze, and it seemed that everyone had completely given up hope and was just waiting for the butcher's knife to come.

"I said, we can't just give up!" Zhang Li was still looking for a place to show up, when suddenly this voice came from his ears.

"We don't have to die yet! those stupid ogres didn't limit our freedom, maybe we might still be able to get out alive!"

It was a captive, and he stood up, hoping to cheer people up.

"Get out alive? Are you kidding me? We've become pigs and sheep, just waiting for them to be slaughtered and eaten when they're hungry, what do you think will come to save us?

"Then we'll fight them!

"If you want to fight yourself, I'm already dying, so I don't bother to bother with that effort......"

"You!" Seeing that the guy was so tired, the night watchman who got up to speak was simply angry.

"It seems that this benevolent brother likes to be a pig and a sheep, so even if you can go out, you can stay by yourself. At this time, a dark shadow suddenly protruded from the ground, and then changed into a human form, and this strange appearance of the guy scared many people.

"Don't be surprised, I've been commissioned by Althea to come to your rescue. That was Zhang Li, and his words lifted many people's spirits.

"Really!?"

"How can I save it!?"

"I knew that Lord Althea wouldn't give up on us!"

"Will we make it back alive!?"

“......”

Woo yell, the scene suddenly became very noisy, and even the ogre guards outside were alarmed.

"Shhhh......h

"Don't make a noise, listen to me. Now, there is only Zhang Li's voice left in the audience, his voice is not loud, but everyone can hear it clearly.

"To be honest, this task is difficult for me because I am only one person and it is difficult to get out of here with all of you. After he said this, many people who could not hold their breath immediately began to make noise.

"But!" Zhang Li stopped the people, "But these ogres are stupid, they have locked you in a cave, this may be a good opportunity for you to escape." ”

"Now, prick up your ears and listen to me, I have a plan to take all of you out, but it will be very risky, and then I will sneak out and find some iron pickaxe explosives or something, you will use the iron pickaxe to dig a hole, and then we will load the hole with explosives, if any ogre comes in to check on the situation, we will just blow them up, it would be better if we can only cause a collapse at the hole, it is better to block the hole, as for whether it will be implicated inside, it depends on your luck......"

Zhang Li said very clearly, this plan may not be successful, they may not be able to dig holes, there is no food and water here, and their physical strength may not be able to keep up, digging out from here, they are likely to dig through the entire mountain range to reach the Valley of Thorns, that is a huge project, and no one can guarantee that the explosives will only cause the cave mouth to collapse, if the entire cave collapses, they will all die directly.

But relatively speaking, this is the only plan to get everyone out, and you can choose not to do it and wait for death, or you can earn that only glimmer of hope.
