The mud truck roared along.

Without the advanced positioning system of the dart game, Ren Yi could only flip through the dilapidated map brought by Lao Yu while driving.

"Yunjin Mountain is located at the southern end of the Central Alliance, almost equivalent to a boundary marker, and after crossing the mountain, it will completely enter the chaotic zone...... Ren Yi analyzed.

The Eastern Alliance was long and narrow, and Ren Yi almost walked a diagonal, meeting Lao Yu and others on the edge of the Central Alliance. Soon it will be completely in the chaos zone. I didn't expect the team to grow to such a large size, and all of them were ordinary civilians with no experience in wilderness survival. Anti-inflammatory drugs, firearms, ammunition, marching food and other things must be prepared, otherwise it is easy to be bullied if you buy them temporarily, and even be targeted by local snakes.

Ren Yi planned, and the mountain outside the car window quickly receded, and a black and oppressive outline of the house appeared faintly where the slope gradually flattened.

Ren Yi glanced at the map again, and in front of him was the beginning of the southwest trip - the Red River. It is named because the southwest land is laterite, the mountains are steep, and the water flows into the river valley to appear red.

The valley in front was about the confluence of the lower river and the gateway to the southwest, forming the first town of considerable size.

Ren Yi gradually slowed down the car, turned and drove away from the main road: "The road ahead is not easy to walk." Everyone will come down and buy some necessities and stay here for the night tonight. ”

"Can I sleep in a hotel?" Li Chunsheng leaned out of the back car and cheered, "My waist, I can finally rest!" ”

Lao Yu woke up dimly when he heard it, pulled out a cloth bag in his pile of rags, and said to Sister-in-law Yu, "Give me some money?" The two babies are hungry all the way, so I'm going to buy some good ones. ”

"Save it." Sister-in-law Yu lifted her padded jacket and pulled out the gold cut into pieces from under the layers of belts wrapped in rags.

The car whined and ran for more than forty minutes, and although the cold wind still hit everyone's faces in the open car, they were still uncontrollably happy.

The huge steel arch in front of it gradually became clear, rebuilt from an abandoned toll booth in the old world, and the red luminous light tubes surrounded the four characters "Red River Field". In front of the checkpoint, many large cars are queuing, judging from the license plate numbers, all of them are from the central and eastern fortress cities.

"It's really a traffic artery." Ren Yi sighed with emotion and followed a large cargo into the bayonet.

"The aura of the Adventist in front is strong."

The figure of the goddess suddenly overlapped with the image in front of her for a second.

Well? Ren Yi immediately remembered so many license plates from Tiannan and Haibei, and the southwest was in a state of autonomy isolated from the outside world to a certain extent, even if it was supplied, so many cars would not be needed. Chaos means danger, how many people can't avoid it, how can they gather here, this is not normal.

"So many people are here to worship the 'swollen saint'?" Ren Yi was shocked.

Driving into the gate, a strange feeling immediately came over me.

Obviously, it is still within the range of the highway, and the big cars are roaring and speeding, and there are countless homeless people lying here on the side of the road. Their faces were dirty, their clothes and bedding were stinking, but they were lying comfortably in the sun, and they didn't feel the vibration of the one-ton cart crushing the ground.

There were also many people with missing arms and legs, still lying on their backs on the road, and sometimes there were suspicious stains on the ground, and flies fluttering.

Ren Yi was sick to his stomach.

But this is just the beginning, the asphalt road turned a corner, and Ren Yi was completely shocked!

More homeless people have appeared ahead! Almost the entire road is occupied, and the black pressure is overwhelming! A lot of trucks can't get in, and they are messed up in the middle of the road!

It turned out that it was just the end of the line......

"Help......"

The car couldn't get in, so Ren Yi could only get out of the car, pinched his nose and led everyone across the huge wandering team and walked into the field on foot.

"Keep up, don't worry if you get lost." Ren Yi stubbornly shuttled through the wandering army that was crowded into no gaps.

"It's finally out!" Ren Yi pushed away the last two people and stepped into the main street of the market surrounded by stone piers and iron chains, breathing a sigh of relief.

As soon as he raised his head, he was shocked again by the black and oppressive picture in front of him-

It turns out that the bazaar is the beginning of the procession!

There is almost no place to stay, between the stalls, under the awnings, in the corners, on the manhole covers...... Sick homeless people everywhere! They were dirty and smelly, lying in piles of piles, emaciated and frightening as if they had smoked a big cigarette!

"Hey, hey, hey......"

They kept turning over, wriggling on the ground, their faces full of dream-like madness.

In the middle of these piles, there are countless small traders and vendors scattered. Without exception, they were all women, all of them were thin and swarthy, with their backs hunched and their faces tired. Some of them carried their children on their backs; Some stalls have small carts parked behind them, on which are paralyzed elderly people sitting; Some of them took the time to feed the man who fell to the ground while selling the goods.

"These bazaars are full of men who have fallen into a fantasy...... And their wives? ”

"Eldest sister, how do you sell these beans?" Ren Yi didn't want to look too special, so he casually asked the nearest stall owner.

"Oh," she glanced numbly, and pointed to two huge plastic bags, "soybeans 30 pounds, peanuts 35." Only silver and gold were accepted. There is no cash to change on the road, and there is a handling fee for cutting. ”

"What's wrong with Big Brother? Sick? Ren Yi glanced at the woven bag spread on the ground behind him. A thin man lay humming, his face full of intoxication.

The woman handed Ren Yi a plastic bag with an expressionless face, "Oh, he's worshipping." Buy what you want to take and bag it yourself. ”

"Hey! Grab something! ”

Ren Yizheng was stunned, and a familiar shout suddenly came from behind him.

The voice...... Is it Lao Yu?

Ren Yi followed the prestige, and saw that on the small stall opposite, a dirty child was jumping and shuttling quickly between the limbs and stalls on the ground, and whoever drilled more and wherever he went, he threw the yelling Lao Yu off in a few rounds.

Seeing that it was safe, the child took out a shortbread from his tattered clothes and devoured it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Two patrolmen with big shoulders and round waists stood at the end of the main road, obliviously oblivious.

"Don't they care?" Ren Yi was surprised.

The female stall owner was surprised and said: "Snatching things is a matter between mortals. They are the personal guards of the Holy Maiden, and they can't control it. As long as it does not affect the worship of others, it is his freedom to do anything. ”

Yes? Ren Yi was dumbfounded when he heard it, so magical?

"Little brother."

Suddenly, Ren Yi felt that someone behind him tugged at his sleeve, and when he looked down, he saw that it was an old lady who was as thin as an air-dried apricot kernel.

"Little brother, when you're out of the house, you have to carry a lot of luggage, right? If you have someone to do the work for you, you can save a lot of effort along the way. The old lady smiled, revealing a mouthful of bare gums.

Ren Yi had a bad premonition, "What do you mean?" ”

"Do you want to buy a maid?"

Yes? Ren Yi was even more surprised, there are still maids sold this year?

"This is my granddaughter, who is very obedient and can endure hardships. She is thirteen years old this year, and she is the most profitable in the whole village. ”

The old lady beckoned, and a very thin and dirty little girl came over from the corner of the street, not much better than the child who had just snatched peanuts.

Sell children? Or a granddaughter? Thirteen? Hungry like this, is it still good to work?

There are slots everywhere, and Ren Yi didn't know how to start talking for a while.

"She's a little younger, but she's pretty good," the old lady wiped the little girl's face with her sleeve, "and it's okay to marry her as a little wife in a few years." It's cheap, and you will grow up after feeding the stick noodles for two years. If you buy one of your age, it's more than that. ”

Before Ren Yi could turn around, a woman pushing a cart stopped on the road, grabbed a towel hanging on the handlebar, wiped her sweat, and said suspiciously: "Is she really capable of working?" ”

"Not really!" The old lady said, "My sons have all become believers in the Holy Maiden, and my eyes are not good, and she does all the work at home!" ”

The woman pulling the cart said: "My family too, my man and son have become believers in the Holy Maiden, and I am the only one left to work in the family, and I have to walk for miles every day to pull the cart to sell something." I am short of a helper. If she's capable, I'll take her back. ”

The old lady immediately smiled, and made a mysterious gesture with her hand: "A fixed price." ”

"I didn't have that much money with me." The woman pulling the cart shook her head, "You wait for me to buy this cart of rice first." ”

"Then let people pick it up!" The old lady took her arm warmly and said, "I see that you sincerely want it, and I sincerely want to do your business." Or you give me the rice and the people take it away. My family just ran out of rice to cook. ”

"That's it!" The woman threw the car underground, blushed and began to unload bags one by one. The little girl obediently walked up behind her and helped unload the rice.

The old lady writhed with a smile on her face, "Then this rice will be mine." ”

"If she is really good at work, I will introduce everyone in the village to you to buy it."

The woman pulled the empty cart, the girl followed, and the two turned and walked out of the market along the way they came.

Ren Yi was stunned.

"Little brother, I'm so embarrassed, I'll sell it to someone right away. That's how business is done, first come, first served. The old lady dragged the rice bag on the ground step by step, "I still have a few girls at home, why don't you come to my house to have a look?" I've sold a lot, and my neighbors have asked me to help me sell them. ”

"If you want to buy it, buy me!"

Suddenly, a woman with deeply sunken cheeks came out of the oblique thorn, kneeling at Ren Yi's feet, her hands were frostbitten, holding Ren Yi's legs and crying and shouting.

"I'm Chinese New Year's Eve six, and I'm better than a little girl! I'm still eating less! ”

"Hey, how are you robbing people of business!"

The old lady immediately dropped and rushed up, tearing her hair with great dexterity.

"Since my husband believed in the Holy Maiden, he has been worshipping every day, and I am the only one left in the family to farm, and I can't open the pot! My child was hit by a truck yesterday and is still unconscious! You are very kind, you want to buy me! Just give me the money for the operation......"

Ignoring the fist that had fallen on her body, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying profusely.

Ren Yi got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this.

"What are you doing!"

Another shout in the distance, snap! A long whip fell, and there was the sound of skin cracking flesh.

A little girl's voice whimpered, "I'm sorry......"

The patrol shouted: "Don't stand against the wall in the future!" Delay other people's worship with your good-looking! ”

It turned out that there were several girls standing in the corner, led by another old lady and hawking.

One of the girls, so hungry that she couldn't stand on her feet, staggered back several steps, and stepped on the arm of an ignorant man.

The man was less hallucinated, woke up in a daze, and let out a disgruntled curse.

"Human trafficking doesn't matter? And not let people disturb them daydreaming? ”

Ren Yi looked at the faces of everyone in the market, revealing a kind of oppressive weirdness. The women setting up the stalls were almost crushed by exhaustion, the men on the ground were emaciated and psychedelic, and the guards were numb and crazy.

Exhausted and crushed, the men on the ground were emaciated and psychedelic, and the guards were numb and crazy.

"Stop arguing, it's getting dark!"

"It's time! It's time to meet the Holy Maiden! ”

"Yes to ......"

The people on the street all froze in unison.

Everyone lying on the ground was like a lost soul, their faces full of intoxication and greedily squirming.

The homeless men, who were so hungry that they wailed from time to time, ceased to speak, and their faces were full of psychedelic expressions, as if they had eaten and drunk enough, and were immersed in Elysium; The drivers of the buses, who had just entered the city from all over the world, also stopped, and looked up in contented enjoyment, as if everything in the world had become insignificant.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and began to writhe, ecstatic as if they had been rescued from hell.

Ren Yi stood in it and shuddered, all the men in the city had become puppets! No one is exempt, but to a different extent! And they're still attracting outsiders to join in!

The whole audience was full of joy and madness.
