Chapter 4: The Coming Tribulation (4)

The long night has finally passed.

The rain had turned to a drizzle, and the sky was still terribly gloomy, but the light piercing the clouds was finally beginning to dispel the fears in people's hearts.

Jiang Yuan didn't dare to close his eyes in the house all night, for fear that something strange would break into the house.

Luckily, there was no incident.

The screams over Taiping had begun to fade by the dawn, and all that remained was the ubiquitous crying.

Jiang Yuan stepped out of the room and onto the street.

As he passed by his neighbor Uncle Li's house, he glanced inside.

Uncle Li's wife and children had fallen in a pool of blood, and their bodies showed signs of being gnawed.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but think of the flesh and blood between Uncle Li's teeth last night...... It made him shudder.

"The official is running away!"

Some people rushed into the streets, crying and shouting:

"The county commander took his family and a group of people to catch fast, and when there were demons at the beginning of last night, he ran away!"

When the surrounding people heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and their eyes were full of deep despair.

Jiang Yuan's heart also sank, and the government fled Taiping Town, which also meant that the town was about to be completely chaotic......

"Hahaha!" the man burst out laughing, his face full of madness, "All of you are going to die!

Seeing this, the surrounding pedestrians shook their heads: "Crazy...... He's crazy. ”

Suona and gongs and drums resounded in the streets again.

The fluttering yellow flag came from the end of the street, and the group of people I saw yesterday walked slowly carrying the altar.

"Xuantian old mother, vacuum hometown! Yuheng is a real person, save people from the world!"

They shouted in unison, and the old man on the altar was still immortal.

Only this time, there were more people following them.

With the escape of the government, the so-called Yuheng real person seems to have become their only hope.

Jiang Yuan looked at all this, shook his head, and then slowly walked away.

Once the night falls, all kinds of demons and monsters come out one after another. In the daytime, it seems to be hidden.

In Jiang Yuan's memory, all kinds of weird legends seemed to happen at night.

It seems that the alternation of day and night has also become the boundary between danger and security in this world.

Not exactly.

For example, the terrifying little girl that Jiang Yuan met at dusk yesterday!

It seems that in some dark corners, there are still demons at work.

On both sides of the street, you can often see the corpses of ordinary people, which seem to have been left behind by the tragic situation last night.

They died in different forms, most of them had no body to collect, and they were just lying on the side of the road, like a corpse...... Litter.

And the corpse collector of Yizhuang...... Jiang Yuan also quickly found their bodies.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the streets, and a catcher rode into the town at a rapid pace.

Suddenly, some people excitedly shouted:

"It's the county government's catch! Great! The county magistrate didn't leave us behind!"

But then the catcher fell from his horse, and when the people lifted him up from the ground, his lips turned purple with fear.

"All dead...... "We tried to escape to the Acropolis to the east, but halfway through we met a group of ancient people with umbrellas, they were very thin and tall, and their bodies were covered with tattered strips of cloth...... The county magistrate, Wang Zhutou, and everyone else...... They're all dead!"

When Jiang Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

There are demons even outside the town, can it be said that ...... Taiping Town is already surrounded by demons?

Jiang Yuan only felt a tightness in his chest, it seemed that he still couldn't get out of the current predicament.

There are two roads leading to the outside world, one leading to the Acropolis to the east and the other to the Yangcheng to the west.

In Jiang Yuan's memory, there were large no-man's lands full of dangers and strange places between the towns and cities in this world, and only the proven roads along with the towns were safe.

Although there are often strange rumors in other places, there has never been an accident on the two roads leading from Taiping Town to the outside world, and even the roads have become unsafe now.

The most important thing is that no matter which path you take, it will take days.

If you want to leave Taiping Town and go to a safe city when the roads are no longer safe, it means that you will be exposed to demons in the jungle or wilderness for at least a few nights.

Such a fact is too cruel.

"Even so, you have to find a way to get out of here!" Jiang Yuan made up his mind.

The situation in Taiping Town has become worse and worse, last night's large-scale rebellion of demons and the escape of the government have already shown that Taiping Town will no longer be peaceful!

"Ah——!h

A scream rang out.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly returned to his thoughts, could it be that there were demons again?

I saw a group of thugs armed with sharp knives rushing into the rice shop on the street, and they fiercely stabbed the shopkeeper and his men to death with sharp knives. The wife and children of the shopkeeper who heard the movement ran out of the backyard to check, and were also stabbed to death by the thugs.

After doing all this, the thugs pushed a wooden cart and kept moving the rice bags from the rice shop and placing them on the cart.

"Has the murder and robbery finally begun to be blatant?" Jiang Yuan only felt a chill in his heart, "It seems that it won't be long before this Taiping Town is really going to be completely chaotic." At such times, food is indeed the most important resource. ”

The frightened people fled, and some had hoped for the fast catcher who had returned on horseback, but the fast catcher fled faster than anyone else.

Today's Taiping Town has lost its order on the surface, and with the annihilation of the government, who would dare to stand up and stop it?

A thug looked up and saw Jiang Yuan on the street, who called Jiang Yuan's location was closest to Mipu at this time.

"Little cub, what to see!"

The thug screamed viciously as he rushed over with a steel knife and slashed at Jiang Yuan's head.

Jiang Yuan's heart couldn't help but rise with anger, he just glanced at it, did he want to die for this?

However, at this time, Jiang Yuan was no longer the powerless poor scholar he was yesterday, and the steel knife in the hands of the villain was surprisingly slow in his eyes.

Although the form of Yan was not yet mature, what it brought to Jiang Yuan was not only an increase in strength, but also a sharp sense and speed, far beyond normal people.

The knife that slashed at Jiang Yuan was not only slow in Jiang Yuan's opinion, but even as weak as a child. After feeling the changes in himself, Jiang Yuan was even more looking forward to what kind of power his Yan Form would have after it matured.

His eyes froze, and he dodged the long knife sideways, and his right fist was already slamming into the thug's chest.

"Bang!"

There was only a muffled sound, and the villain flew upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

His chest cavity had collapsed in, and there was only air coming out of his mouth and nose, not air coming in.

This time, it completely scared the other villains stupid, they had never seen a person who could knock a strong man two feet away with one punch.

After a short period of stunnedness, they all stood in place and did not dare to move:

"This man...... He's a master of the rivers and lakes!"

Jiang Yuan's memory does have many legends of this kind of people, their martial arts are so strong that they are absolutely impossible for people to resist.

I don't know if the reason why people can survive in this world where demons are rampant is because of their protection?

The thugs were heard to continue:

"Hero, please calm down! The person who offended you was also killed by you, we can now say that there is no injustice and no revenge, these Mi heroes want to take as much as they want, we will never stop it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while, he didn't know if he should snatch the rice in the rice shop like these villains......

In the end, he gritted his teeth and grabbed a bag of rice and carried it on his shoulder.

In today's situation, the morality and rules of the past seem to be unrestrained. What's more, there is no food left in his home.

As soon as he took two steps, Jiang Yuan suddenly put down the rice and returned.

Those thugs clenched their sharp knives and stared at Jiang Yuan nervously.

I saw Jiang Yuan come to the villain who was killed by his own punch just now, and picked up the steel knife he dropped on the ground.

Suddenly, without warning, Jiang Yuan slashed the steel knife towards the nearest thug.

Jiang Yuan's speed was so fast that he could not react.

I saw that as Jiang Yuan's knife fell, the villain's head flew high, and a stream of bloody arrows gushed out from the broken neck of his neck.

"Run!" the rest of the thugs saw this, and turned their heads and fled.

Jiang Yuan didn't bother to chase it, he wiped the blood off the steel knife, then pinned the knife to his waist, and finally picked up two bags of rice and left slowly.

In such a world, he needed a weapon to defend himself.

And killing people is nothing more than a whim.

This kind of rise is the kind of excitement that needs to be vented in the chest, the excitement of facing chaos in the face of the collapsed order, and the excitement of trying to destroy.

The most incredible thing is that Jiang Yuan killed two people in a row for the first time, not only did he not have any discomfort, but he also had an inexplicable ...... in his heart Excited!
