Because the car was carrying more than twenty people, it wasn't going very fast. The roads along the way were also mostly damaged, so they had to drive carefully and be aware of any robbers around them. If they did encounter robbers, they would just floor the gas pedal and drive off.
Everyone was extremely tense. Although they hadn't entered the city yet, they could already see corpses appearing on both sides of the road in the new district. Some of the corpses looked like they had been hacked to death, their blood staining the surrounding ground, and they were just carelessly thrown to the side of the road, ignored by everyone.
Lu Yuan gripped the crossbow tightly, constantly looking outwards. If he noticed anything amiss, he would immediately order Chen Ke to change course.
Chen Ke was also very nervous at this moment. The veins on his hands were bulging as he gripped the steering wheel. Lu Yuan was worried that he would break the steering wheel again!
Suddenly, a figure seemed to flash past a corner ahead. Chen Ke was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and immediately slammed on the brakes. Lu Yuan, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't react in time and his head slammed hard on the hard dashboard. But at this moment, he didn't have time to curse, because in front of him, he saw a woman wearing a gray pajamas holding a child kneeling in front of the car, and then she stretched out a thin, bony arm full of scars and waved to everyone.
Chen Ke was soaked in sweat, and the people in the back of the car were obviously thrown into a frenzy by the sudden braking, which immediately brought a burst of cursing.
"Holy shit! You hit me! Chen Ke, do you even know how to drive?! There were people in the back! Couldn't you have stepped on the brakes a little more gently? Hiss..."
"Whose foot is that?! Can you move aside? You stepped on my hand!"
"Excuse me, could you please let the guy sitting on my head get off first? Otherwise, I can't move my legs!"
...
Chaos erupted behind them, but Chen Ke felt a ringing in her ears and fear filled her eyes. The woman in front of the car was terrifying. The only thing that made her a woman was her long hair, but it was covered in filth. Her pajamas were tattered and barely covered her body, and through the holes in her clothes, you could see that she was covered in wounds.
"Lu...Lu Yuan, what do we do? Get out of the car? Or...or just run them over?" Chen Ke was at a loss for what to do.
The original plan was to simply push over anyone who tried to block their way, regardless of who they were! However, the woman covered in wounds in front of him made him hesitate to attack her.
Lu Yuan certainly wouldn't let him get away with it. They weren't in the city center, and this woman didn't seem to be part of any robbery gang. She looked more like a victim, with wounds all over her body showing that she had been abused for a long time.
The woman waved weakly at the car, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but perhaps because she hadn't eaten in a long time, it was impossible to understand what she was saying.
So Lu Yuan glanced at Chen Ke and said, "Reverse the car. If I really encounter any danger, I'll run back immediately, and then you can drive me there!"
Chen Ke nodded quickly, then hurriedly asked, "Lu Yuan, maybe... maybe we should just forget about it! It's too dangerous!"
Lu Yuan smiled, pointed at the woman, and said, "Alright! Go ahead and drive over there! I wonder if you have the guts to run her over!"
The other person immediately waved their hand and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant we should go from somewhere else!"
"Come on! Other places? Is there any other place? This is the only road leading to the city, and she takes up half of it by herself."
After saying that, Lu Yuan ignored the other person, opened the car door, and jumped out.
When the woman saw Lu Yuan coming, she hurried over, but she seemed to have no strength left. Before she could stand up, she fell to the ground again, and the child in her arms was thrown far away.
However, when Lu Yuan saw the child clearly, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he vomited immediately after a churning in his stomach.
The child still had no limbs, and his stomach was full of maggots. When he was thrown out, maggots were scattered all over the ground. The child looked like he was in great pain, and there seemed to be two tear stains on his face. Lu Yuan felt disgusted, scared and saddened at the sight.
The woman struggled to crawl toward Lu Yuan, but she didn't have much strength. She could only use all her remaining strength to lift her head and reach out to Lu Yuan, crying out, "Help me! I'm starving to death!"
Lu Yuan found the woman's appearance terrifying. He couldn't believe that the child was hers; how could she eat her own child? It was simply unbelievable.
"Is the child yours? He...he was eaten by you? Why don't you go and get food?"
The woman let out a piercing cry, then pulled a knife from her bosom and stroked the sharp blade, saying, "I didn't kill the child! I really didn't kill the child! It was that bastard next door! He cut off my son's limbs while I was getting my food so he could have meat for his own child! I hate it! I'm not a good mother!"
"What? There... there can be such a person?" Lu Yuan was horrified after hearing this. He originally thought that this woman ate her own child for meat, but he never expected that his neighbor ate his child and even fed her child to his own child. It was simply outrageous!
"But I've already taken my revenge! I killed his whole family with my own hands! Now I'm cornered, surrounded by people trying to capture me! I had no choice but to escape. Please, please save me! I really don't want to die!"
Lu Yuan sighed. This woman was too dangerous. She was able to take down an entire family all by herself. Lu Yuan didn't want to get involved with her.
"Sorry, we can't save you! You'd better get out of here! Otherwise, we won't hesitate to drive right through you!"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained. She then slowly crawled to the child's body, gently picked up the child, and began to hum a lullaby.
After a while, the woman slowly stood up and walked to the side of the road, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Can you do me a favor? Give me a quick death!" After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes.
