Chapter 5 Escape
Half a day later, in a secluded place in the tunnel of Qinghe Ranch, far away from the traffic of cultural relics robbery, four large ironclad vehicles were connected into a row from end to end, like an impermeable iron wall, blocking the sight from the direction of the traffic flow tightly.
On this side of the iron wall, seven or eight tall beasts formed a not-so-dense human wall, which happened to enclose three more luxuriously dressed men and women, and a white "howling wolf" was embroidered on their left chest.
A stout young man nearly three meters tall took off his gloves, leaned down, and carefully groped the cave wall.
"The cave wall here is still very regular, Uncle Chang, there is no difference between the cave wall at 200 kilometers and 150 kilometers, it looks like it was dug out with precision machinery," the sturdy young man straightened up, "Now it can be basically concluded that this tunnel was not smashed by a meteorite!"
"Well," the old man known as Uncle Chang among the three nodded, "I feel like someone fired a cannon at the grassland from high in the sky, such as the planetary main cannon." ”
"You mean the Star Destroyer's planetary guns?" asked the stout young man.
"Yes, Third Young Master. Uncle Chang replied.
"I don't think so," the beautiful girl standing next to her interjected, "the crater from the planetary main gun of the Star Destroyer is open, and this one in front of me is a hole, not a pit, no matter how you look at it. In addition, the Star Destroyer Aurora of the 'Iron Shell' has been hanging alone over the South Pole, and our bestial Star Destroyer Blood Moon has been berthing at the moon base 'Blood Moon City', as far as I know, the entire solar system is only left behind by these two Star Destroyers, each with its own mission and mission, who would be idle enough to shoot at our barren land while we are in the dark and have no idea?"
"Yes, when Hua Mei said this, it aroused a doubt in my heart," the third young master Yijun said, "It is this huge tunnel with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters and a depth of more than 200 kilometers, if it is excavated manually, it is estimated that billions of tons of earth and stone can be excavated, if these earth and stone are piled up, I think it is higher than the Mount Everest, but we looked through the ground and underground, and we didn't find any excess earth and stone, just like a red-hot wire easily melted a hole in the plastic paper, don't you think it's weird?"
"What the Third Young Master said is exactly what I want to ask," I suggested that I should find some witnesses to ask what happened that day. ”
"Uncle Chang, isn't there any eyeliner near Qinghe Ranch?" asked Qi Jun.
"No," Uncle Chang replied, "Qinghe Ranch is very remote, and there has been nothing to do for many years, so I haven't arranged any eyeliner. ”
"I've heard some rumors that the first person to arrive at the scene that day was a horse herd from Qinghe Ranch, a member of the tribe named Youxiong. "Go to Jin Hua and look at the Yijun.
"Are your sources reliable?" asked Qi Jun again.
"When I was buying those unearthed artifacts on the ground, a slave antiquities dealer inadvertently revealed to me, which should not be groundless. "Go to the first place.
"I seem to have heard of the surname "The Horse Stables of Qinghe Ranch?" said Yijun, "It can't be the human slave tribe that raised and took care of the 'Land Benlei' for my father, right?"
"It's the one who has Xiong," replied Uncle Chang, "and I remember a man named Youxiong Dacai who was still a vegetable supplier in our dining room, and he was in and out of the Blue Wolf Castle a lot."
"Then you go back and arrest him for interrogation," Qi Jun ordered, "If someone from the Xiong clan is the first to arrive at the scene, Uncle Chang, no matter what means you use, whether it is coercion or inducement, or torture, in short, you must pry everything out of his mouth." ”
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Chang responded.
After two days and one night of intense preparation, the escape plan drawn up by the elders of the Xiong clan was finally implemented one by one, and thousands of yaks that were used as means of transportation carried large and small luggage packages, filling the alleys and alleys of the entire village, everything was carried out step by step, and now everything was ready only to the east wind, and the whole village was waiting for the night to fall, this small tribe of human slaves, which had actually built a village for more than 20,000 years, did not rise for the first time in the evening.
The escape route of the Youxiong clan was carefully considered and carefully arranged by the Elders, after all, there were many people, money, and materials, and the world was not peaceful, coupled with the factors of Qiman and other beast kingdoms passing through, the Elders Council had drawn up three completely different escape routes in order to avoid the entire Youxiong clan being uprooted by beasts such as Qiman or other unexpected enemies.
The first route takes you northwest through the frigid Seberian steppes and over the snow-capped mountains of Garagar, passing through five beast domains and ending at the kingdom of Europe.
The second route goes southwest, through the hot and arid Sahabi Desert, and then along the dried up Isthmus of the Red Sea, passing through three beast human vassal states and ending in the Kushan Kingdom.
The third route goes southeast, through the dark forest infested with poisonous insects and beasts, and then through the treacherous Swamp of Death, passing through four beastly human domains, ending in the Kingdom of Kyushu.
The European Kingdom dominated by the "white-skinned human slaves", the Kushan Kingdom dominated by the Izzy (si) Lan slaves, the Kyushu Kingdom dominated by the "yellow-skinned human slaves", and the equatorial kingdom dominated by the "black-skinned human slaves" hanging alone in the ocean, it is actually quite far-fetched to be called a "kingdom", in fact, it is actually the four major human reservations of human slaves.
In addition to the "Four Kingdoms" of human slaves, there are also several so-called "neutral zones" where people from the Xiong clan can also go to take refuge, but the original intention of setting up the "neutral zone" is to provide a place where the "non-earth native race", that is, the so-called "aliens", live in the anarchic "three regardless" zone, mixed with fish and dragons, and there is no powerful force behind them to rely on.
Tugubo's daughter-in-law has Xiong Yunyi's cousin Xiong Tianyin married far away from the Kyushu Kingdom, so Tugubo's family did not hesitate to choose the third route and go to the Kyushu Kingdom.
Night falls.
"When, when, ......when" alarm bell sounded, this is the signal of the agreed assembly and departure, the whole village began to commotion, more than 300 households one by one turned off the lights and stoves, closed the door, the villagers took their yaks and began to go to the village center square to assemble.
"If you take the first line, go to the old locust tree!"
"Take the 2nd line, gather over there at the big stone mill!"
"If you take the 3rd line, report to the pool!"
After a period of hustle and bustle, the villagers in the central square consciously gathered into three teams, and gradually quieted down.
"Patriarch, say a few words!"
"Yes, let's say a few words!"
Xiong Bi was surrounded by everyone and stood on the big stone grinding plate in the center of the square, and he said loudly with tears in his eyes: "In the past two days, I have said enough, so I will not repeat it." I'm old, I won't live for a few years, and I don't think I can wait for everyone to come back, but I have two wishes: first, I hope you will remember today, remember that we have the blood feud of the Xiong clan, and we will never be slaves again! Second, if there is an afterlife, I hope we are still a family!" Then he waved his hand and said loudly: "Children, let's go! Go as far as possible!"
In the farewell, the three teams set off in the predetermined direction, no lights, no Niu Lingjing, no laughter, only the bright moonlight silently escorted.
The adults in the village were so loud and loud that they did not hesitate to take risks to embark on the road of escape, which Tuguhun had not expected before.
Although it is now the interstellar age, as a human slave, the range of activities of the Arikuma clan is actually strictly limited, and unless you have a special pass, you can only move within one county.
As a human slave village, the channels for understanding the outside world are limited to satellite TV and the satellite network, and the information content obtained from these channels has been carefully screened by the beast empire, so children of Tu Guhun are almost ignorant of the "catastrophic war" that broke out more than a hundred years ago - the war that determined the future and fate of humans, robots, and beasts and lasted for more than a hundred years. Nearly a thousand man-machine battles, man-beast wars, and even more like legends than ancient legends, children only know that the result of the war is that human beings are finally defeated, and then human beings become human slaves, and can only live humbly in the gap between the two emerging empires.
The farthest gate that Tu Gu came out of was the county town of Tempest County, to which Xiong Village belonged, and as for the Blue Wolf Castle, the capital of the Blue Wolf Country, he had only seen it on TV and the Star Network, and it felt as far away as the stars in the sky, and the destination of the Tugu Hun family's escape this time, the Kyushu Kingdom, he felt that it was even more ethereal than the stars in the sky.
Maybe it's because of the family's migration, the family is around, and the younger brother Tugufan, who was tired from the move, has already fallen asleep in the comfortable yak cart, but Tuguhun sitting on the back of the yak is not too sad, he always feels that leaving is temporary, and after a few years of limelight, as long as they want to come back, they will come back after all.
Before leaving, he had to stuff his jacket pocket with his favorite winter melon candy on weekdays, and then turned his head and bit him the face, warning Tu Guhun that if she let her know that he was not there to get along with other girls, she would definitely bite his face the next time they met. Thinking of this, Tugu involuntarily touched the rows of tooth marks on his face that had not completely faded, and felt that the winter melon candy he ate in his mouth today was particularly sweet.
On the other hand, his father Tu Gu Bo and his mother Youxiong Yunyi, both cried into tears when they said their final goodbye to their grandfather and Xiong Bi at night, and it was not until this time that Tu Guhun felt sad, and remembered that he didn't know how long it would take to see his grandfather again, and he couldn't help but tear his eyes.
The night was thicker, and the breeze gently swept the garbage and dead leaves left on the square in the center of the village, and after the people left, the village of Youxiong looked even more desolate.
Next to the big stone mill, in the dark, two old men stood side by side.
"Boss, the children are far away, go home, it's cold outside late at night, be careful of catching a cold," Xiong Ying said, "Let's go, go to my house, let's warm the green plum wine, fry two more appetizers, and get drunk tonight!"
"Well," Youxiong Bi nodded, his voice a little hollow, "You said the second child, shouldn't it be best for us old bones to die in the thirty-third year of Taijia? ”
"Alas, brother, don't say it, it's all fate! Now our lives are coming to us!" Xiong Ying said, "Speaking of which, is your boss going to talk to me about the unclear past between you and the village flower Qixia sister back then?"
"Haha, second brother, you're talking about these old rotten grains again!" Youxiong Bi swept away the emotional haze and laughed happily.
The two old men chattered old stories while supporting each other and slowly returning.
A few days later, the "Wolf Tooth Army" 1,000 elite cavalry really roared, took away all the clansmen who had not left Youxiong Village, and then completely burned down this 10,000-year-old village and razed it to the ground.
