Chapter Twenty-Three: Beyond the Capital
The heavens and the earth have changed dramatically, the beasts have become essences, and the civilization order built by human beings for thousands of years has collapsed almost overnight.
The inadvertent words of the old man of the human demons, although they did not make Lin Muzhi change much immediately, but it gave Lin Muzhi an inexplicable touch, and an inexplicable seed was buried in Lin Muzhi's heart.
When he went out of the city, Lin Muzhi's body was already comparable to the strong physique of a first-class demon beast, and he ran at full speed, and in an hour and a half, Lin Muzhi ran a distance of nearly 100 kilometers, and the capital in Lin Muzhi's memory was already in sight.
As for Wei County, and the fate of the yellow-haired young man on the wall of Wei County, Lin Muzhi didn't care too much about it, and he didn't think too much about it.
On the contrary, the closer he got to the capital, there was more and more uneasy feeling in Lin Mu's heart.
The ancient capital of several dynasties has gone through thousands of years of war, but it has always been an economic, military, and political fortress in northern China, no matter what kind of bad times it is, the surroundings of the capital have never been as desolate and desolate as now.
As an open international metropolis, more than 100 years later, Lin Muzhi once again saw a magnificent but full of holes around the capital.
Scrapped vehicles and rusty steel bars are poured with variegated metal juice, dozens of meters high, like a rust-colored canopy connecting the sky and the earth.
And beneath the huge walls that encircled the entire capital were patches of chaotic camps, inhabited by tens of thousands of people, with deep despair and numbness on their faces, like groups of thoughtless walking corpses.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Muzhi almost gasped with difficulty.
The former capital of a country, the place of refuge in the hearts of countless Chinese people since the new era, is more than ten million times different from the capital base in Lin Mu's heart.
Fighting, fighting, looting, rape, all kinds of violence are happening almost every moment in this huge refugee camp outside the city walls, but no one stops it, whether it is inside or outside.
The crowd around them all watched the violence unfold in numbness, and when it was over, they swarmed up to each other, competing for the benefits they could get, whether it was food, or drinking water, or clothing, or women, just like vultures waiting for each other.
"Sir, let's play for a while, have a full meal, and play as much as you want!" A hoarse female voice sounded beside Lin Muzhi, waking Lin Muzhi up from an unspeakable shock.
"Who are you, the KT sister in your childhood?" Lin Muzhi turned his head in response, and suddenly found that although the woman in front of him was a little dirty, her face was very familiar.
The woman opposite Lin Muzhi had some unnatural embarrassment on her face, but she didn't admit it or refute it, she just continued to speak to Lin Muzhi numbly: "Sir, it's just a full meal, and I won't ask you too much ......."
Before the world changed, Lin Muzhi was a photography apprentice in the September Wedding Photography Studio in Beijing, a man who was determined to join the entertainment industry, and because of work reasons, he would occasionally mix in some crews for a day and a half, and he was very concerned about those former stars.
The woman in front of her, although she is not a particularly popular star, Lin Muzhi still can't help but have a feeling of being subverted, and it gradually turns into a sense of sadness that is difficult to describe.
Escaped from Wei County in advance, except for a heavenly fencing that had exhausted his aura, Lin Muzhi had nothing else, and after staring at the woman opposite for a while, he could only turn around and leave in the bitter laughter of the other party.
Walking towards the end of the city wall, along the way, there may be a beggar lying on the side of the road, who is a rich man in the past, and a woman who may sell her body is a female star who was high in the past.
Lin Muzhi went from shock and sadness at the beginning to gradually calm down, and a sense of longing for strength in his heart continued to grow.
"Grandma, it's the big brother of the benefactor......"
A crisp children's voice inadvertently came into Lin Muzhi's ears.
When Lin Muzhi heard the prestige, he found that the little girl who spoke was the last girl to kowtow to him when everyone in Wei County evacuated.
Above the dirty little face, a pair of slippery eyes were bright and moving, like pure black gems.
And beside the little girl, it was the lady who had sewn and mended Lin Muzhi's clothes, holding a small package, hugging her granddaughter tightly, and looking at Lin Muzhi with a surprised face.
"Young man, are you not dead?" was the first sentence of the eldest lady.
Lin Muzhi suddenly had a faint heartache, as if he had been choked, and said with an unnatural face: "Yes, auntie, I'm not dead yet!"
When the eldest lady spoke, she also felt that something was wrong, and listening to Lin Muzhi's words, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed on her face.
But fortunately, Lin Muzhi is not such a calculating person, and after looking around, he spoke to the eldest lady again: "Auntie, what's going on, didn't you already contact the people from the special combat team in the capital yesterday, why are so many people still outside the city and don't go into the city?"
The eldest lady listened to Lin Muzhi's words, her face stiffened slightly, and then she said with despair: "The capital is such a big place, only those who have guns and bring their families in, how can we, orphans and widows who have no power and no power, get in!"
Lin Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the boundless refugee camp outside the city, and thought about the already crowded capital, and quickly reacted.
"Auntie, these people can't enter the city, what if a demon beast attacks?" Lin Muzhi asked with some worry on his face.
This time, the eldest lady was not allowed to speak, and an abrupt voice was full of sadness and numbness: "There are cities around the capital, there are not many beasts, and there are even fewer demon beasts, so many people, they will retreat when they are full!"
The voice is desperate, and the words make people's hearts almost sink to the bottom.
Lin Muzhi followed the voice and looked at it, only to find that the person who spoke was actually a man wearing earthy gray clothes, lying motionless on the ground, without revealing a little clean place on his body, lying on the ground, like a stone.
The people outside the city, all are outcasts, if there is a demon beast attacking, in the crowd full of blood and food, it will naturally retreat, it was originally an extremely incredible thing, but it was said that it was natural.
"What about the army and special forces in the capital, they don't care?"
Lin Muzhi's mind thought of the sixteen special combat team men on Long Live Mountain who were competing to open the way for no reason, and there was a feeling of anger in his tone for no reason.
The man on the ground just squinted at Lin Muzhi, squirmed slightly, made himself more comfortable, and then buried his head and ignored Lin Muzhi.
"Boom!"
And at this moment, a long sword that shimmered with a cold glow broke through the air, and in front of the man, it was more than a foot into the ground.
The man on the ground was taken aback, rolled two meters away in a panic, and stood up for a long time before he stood up, looked at Lin Muzhi carefully, and walked over slowly.
"Young man, the fire is not small, but he has the strength to do it, and he is a good sword!"
The man who came over had a dense beard on his face and was a little thin, but his hoarse voice had a different sense of heroism.
With the oncoming man in gray sitting on the ground, Lin Muzhi found with difficulty that the man opposite him was actually a male star that Lin Muzhi liked very much in the past, Jiang Wu.
What a cruel time, he actually cut such a man with a watermelon face into today's melon seed face.
"Teacher Jiang?" Lin Muzhi asked tentatively.
"Don't call it that, what a cold person!" Jiang Wu shook his head and sighed.
This is the second star to see in the devastated refugee camp, and it is the most famous one.
Although there was no longer the shock of the previous one, Lin Muzhi still maintained some respect for the other party, and soon put the Heavenly Sword back on his back, and said to Jiang Wu: "How much you offended Teacher Jiang, aren't you from the capital, why are you here?"
"In this year, it's not strange that you said that Oba was selling his ass there, and in the capital, alas, it is not necessarily more comfortable than here!" Jiang Wu said cynically, but the content was a bit painful.
"Teacher Jiang, you are a local, can you tell me what is going on in this capital? I heard on the radio that the capital is quite normal before!" Lin Muzhi endured the feeling of complaining and asked.
"Five months ago, the capital was quite normal, there were soldiers from the military region, special combat teams, and people from the legendary cultivation sect in charge, although the common people were nervous, but it was still successful! Later, there was a riot in the zoo in the capital, and I heard that there was a demon lord who returned to his ancestors, and he was in chaos for a while, and it was like this!"
Jiang Wu said with a blank face, groped in his arms for a while, took out a half-cut cigarette butt, stretched out his hand, and a small beam of flames appeared in his hand.
Lin Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and when that small flame appeared, Lin Muzhi clearly felt that on Jiang Wu's body, there was an extremely thin aura fluctuation, which disappeared in a flash.
"Cultivation exercises?" Lin Muzhi asked calmly.
Jiang Wu took a puff of green cigarette with a comfortable face, glanced at Lin Mu without being stunned, and said: "Little trick, there are small advertisements posted all over the streets in the capital, my qualification is not good, I have practiced hard for a year, and I am at the level of lighting a cigarette!"
