In the darkness, Wu Yan could hear the heavy breathing of the man swinging the axe. He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could clearly sense how tall the other person was. At that moment, Wu Yan stood stiffly in place, waiting for his predetermined fate.
Sudden change——
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Wu Yan did not wait for the axe that would take his life. He fell to the ground belatedly. The pain from his buttocks brought him back to his senses. It was also this pain that made him see clearly the scene in front of him that seemed like hell.
The petite girl jumped high like a ghost, her golden curly hair blocking the moonlight, her pale skin set off her blood-red eyes, her fingers stretched out like dead branches, a large piece of flesh hanging on her slender nails.
The smell of blood made Wu Yan so horrified that he became speechless. He looked at the scene in front of him blankly, his brain had completely stopped working.
Sarah stepped on the back of the man she kicked, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
A petite girl defeats a tall and strong man. Even the most outrageous storyline could not come up with such a plot.
Not only Wu Yan and his group, there were also people attacking from the woods.
Sarah closed her five fingers and stabbed them hard into the man's vest.
The sharp nails pierced the skin, making a tingling sound.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched Sarah easily pull the man's heart out of his back.
Sarah casually threw the still beating heart aside. She raised her hand, squinted her eyes, and licked the blood remaining between her fingers as if intoxicated and enjoying it.
At this moment, she was more terrifying than all the monsters and ghosts in the ghost legends.
“What are you afraid of?” Sarah broke the deathly silence in the forest herself. She raised her eyebrows at Wu Yan, “He is not stronger than you. If you admit defeat in your heart, your weapon will fall out of your hand. Without me, you will die here. But I can’t be by your side every time.”
Wu Yan's throat seemed to be strangled by a hand and he couldn't make a sound.
"Monster, monster!" someone yelled.
There were loud screams and the sound of people tripping over dead branches while running away.
Sarah no longer cared about Wu Yan and the others who were slumped on the ground.
The muscles in her legs swelled in an almost hideous and twisted way, and her thin legs suddenly became strangely entangled. No one could see how she ran away, they only felt that it was a gust of cold wind blowing from tens of thousands of miles away.
The man was running away. He could no longer hear anything and could no longer smell the blood. The only thing in his mind was "Run!"
The farther you run, the better, the farther away from that horrible monster the better!
He is not a Taoist priest, a monk, or a shaman. He is just a mortal and can never deal with a monster like that!
Is it safe?
The man couldn't run anymore.
Just now he still had the strength to run as fast as he could, but as soon as the word "safety" appeared, all the strength in his body suddenly disappeared.
He sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and even thought he was going to die.
"I saw that you were running the fastest, why don't you run anymore?" A hoarse female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The man was stunned: "I can't run..."
He suddenly reacted and sat there stiffly.
And beside him walked his counterpart.
He finally saw clearly under the moonlight that this was a little girl who looked like a Hu person, but she was very different from the Hu people. Her blood-red pupils, cheeks that were even paler than the Hu people, and long and sharp nails all told the people who looked at her that she was not human.
She has the face of a little girl, but the voice of an adult woman.
Her voice was hoarse and gentle, and matched her figure and face, so the voice alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.
The man looked at her in horror.
Sarah was about to say something when she saw the man's head tilt, tilt his head back, and fall to the ground.
Sarah: “…”
I haven't done anything yet!
She walked to the man angrily and squatted down. She first reached out to feel his pulse and breath. After making sure that he was not dead, she slapped him twice. After making sure that he was not pretending to be unconscious, she rolled her eyes, let out a long breath, then grabbed his arm and dragged him back with brute force.
If he hadn't fainted, he could have let the man walk back by himself.
Now I can only rely on her.
·
"I, I will bandage you." Cao'er suppressed her fear and took out medical alcohol and gauze from the first aid kit she brought with her. Ye Zhou had taught them how to use them when they came out, so everyone knew how to use them.
Except for Cao'er, everyone else maintained their previous actions. They had not yet recovered from the shock brought to them by Sarah.
Chen Liu leaned against the tree trunk and asked with trembling lips: "Is she really a leech demon? Why are her nails so long?"
Cao'er first used clean water to heal Chen Liu's wounds that were covered in mud and blood. She didn't dare to think about the scene just now. She only said, "Sister has been practicing for more than 400 years. She should be more powerful than ordinary leech monsters."
Chen Liu only knew that Sarah was a monster, but he never asked her in detail. He did not expect that the other party had been practicing for more than four hundred years.
"Alright, cheer up. Even if she is a monster, she is now under the immortal's throne." Wu Yan coughed lightly and stood up on his knees. "Those people wanted to kill us, so she fought back. Without her, we would be no different from that person now."
He pointed at the corpse whose heart had been taken out and said, "Don't tell me unless the immortal asks you when you go back!"
He didn't dare to deceive the immortal, and was afraid that Sarah would be driven away by the immortal for killing someone to save him, so he could only come up with this stupid idea.
Although he believed that the immortals knew everything, he also thought that the King of Hell might take a nap sometimes, and the immortals might not pay attention to them all the time. As long as they didn't say anything on their own initiative, Sarah could be saved.
As for if the immortal asked, they would definitely not dare to hide anything.
Li Si asked quietly: "Demon...what is Sarah chasing?"
Cao'er bandaged Chen Liu with shaking hands. She whispered, "Did they go chasing after them? We have to know who they are and who ordered them. If they just met us by chance, it would be ok. But if they..."
Everyone looked at her.
Cao Er pursed her lips and said, "If they had planned this in advance and were targeting not only us but also the Immortal Cave, then we would be in trouble."
As soon as these words fell, the employees felt relieved: "There is a fairy in charge of the supermarket! If they dare to go, they will be courting their own destruction, their own death, their own..."
Chen Liu: "Don't be so self-conscious, you can't be self-conscious anymore."
The employees laughed, and their fear was swept away.
I felt a lot more relaxed after eating the grass.
Yes, those people can only bully good people like them at most. Why would they cause trouble for the immortals?
Even if they went, would the immortals allow them to slaughter them?
The employees treated each other's wounds, drank some water, and gathered together to comfort each other for a while before they saw Sarah coming out of the woods.
She didn't scare anyone. As she was about to walk in, she shouted to Wu Yan and the others, "I caught a live one."
But the way she caught someone was completely different from what they imagined. She clearly caught someone alive!
The unconscious man was surrounded by Wu Yan and his men. Wu Yan asked Cao'er to talk to Sarah, and he took his men to strip the man naked. After taking the dagger from his body, he began to examine him carefully.
"Brother Wu, look, is this..." Chen Liu took out a copper coin strung with a red string from the man's arms.
Wu Yan's pupils shrank slightly: "Let me see!"
He grabbed the string of coins.
The old stains on the copper coins could no longer be wiped clean, but one could vaguely see that they were all blood stains.
"They are soldiers!" Wu Yan said in amazement, "Only soldiers can afford such money to buy their lives!"
Since the previous dynasty, all soldiers would be given a coin by the general to buy their lives. As long as they had this coin, they could go to the King of Hell to buy their lives.
Be able to come back alive from the battlefield.
As for those who died - their chance to buy their lives had run out.
But no one knows how many times this copper coin can be used in front of the King of Hell, so all soldiers carry it with them at all times.
This copper coin is their amulet.
"Why are there soldiers here?!" Chen Liu asked sharply, "Why are they looking for us instead of suppressing the bandits?!"
Wu Yan pursed his lips and said, "They are soldiers, not monsters with bronze skin and iron bones. They also need to eat and drink water, and they feel hot. I'm afraid they are already bandits... They are scarier than bandits."
No matter how bad a gangster is, he was a good citizen before he became a bandit.
But these soldiers had already experienced many battles before becoming bandits, and they were no match for those bandits.
"If they are soldiers, there will definitely be more than just a few dozen of them!" Wu Yan made a prompt decision: "Travel overnight! Go back!"
Although Sarah is a monster, he doesn't dare to put all his hopes on her.
The employees hurried to find flashlights, and Chen Liu asked Wu Yan: "What should we do with this man?"
Wu Yan: “Take it back!”
"Wake him up, tie his hands, and lead him back." Wu Yan whispered, "If we carry him on our backs, he might strangle us. If we drag him... only Sarah can do it. But if we let her drag him all the way, he might die before we even get to the supermarket."
Chen Liu nodded: "Brother Wu, you are still thoughtful."
Wu Yan was not pleased either, so he just said, "Don't throw water at him, pinch his nose, slap him a few times, and if that doesn't work, burn the soles of his feet with fire."
The two were discussing "torture" when Sarah said to Cao'er, "He ran the fastest, so I chased him. The others ignored him."
She wrinkled her nose and said, "If I had known this would happen, I should have asked Zou Ming to come out with me."
"No, that's not right." Sarah suddenly became happy, "It's a good thing I didn't call him out."
Cao'er was confused, but she was often confused. She couldn't understand what her mother said sometimes, and she couldn't understand what her godsister said even more. So she didn't ask any further questions and just nodded.
She didn't dare to ask further - she thought her sister was a pure and kind little monster! Unexpectedly, her sister turned out to be a murderous monster.
Cao'er shrank her neck, unable to stop being afraid, but she also felt that since they had become sworn brothers, she should not be afraid of Sarah.
How sad this is for Sarah!
Cao'er whispered, "Sister, please put away your nails."
Sarah looked at her sharp nails that were shining with cold light and smiled, "I forgot about it just now. Look, I put it away now."
Sarah sighed and said, "Wu Yan and the others can't do it. They need to go through more times before they can stand on their own."
“When I was their age…”
Cao'er: "..."
My sister is like my mother.
Her mother also likes to say: "When I was that age..."
·
Ye Zhou thought that Wu Yan and the others might bring back something or someone for him. After all, he had told them before they went out this time that if they met a kind person on the road, they could still be saved.
But he never expected that they didn't bring him anything, nor did they bring any "good people".
But it is the "local specialty" of this era - bandits.
The bandit's name was Sun Hao. He had a cunning face, but he was tall. He was shorter than Ye Zhou and Zou Ming, but quite tall compared to Wu Yan and the others. Ye Zhou estimated that he was about 1.74 meters tall.
Compared to Wu Yan and his group's average height of less than 1.7 meters, Sun Hao is definitely worthy of the title of "warrior".
Even though the famine lasted for such a long time, Sun Hao did not become skinny. His exposed arms were covered with tight muscles, which should be due to the high-intensity training over the years.
No matter how healthy a person doing farm work is, the muscle contours on his body will not be very obvious.
Besides, it is difficult for farmers to obtain animal protein. Most of them still rely on grain to fill their stomachs. Having oil is considered a good day. It is impossible for them to eat meat every few days.
Sun Hao was frightened on the way there. Before Ye Zhou could "display his divine power", Sun Hao had already recognized this immortal because of the flashlight.
As soon as Sun Haofu saw Ye Zhou, without even seeing Ye Zhou's face clearly, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Ye Zhou with his hands clasped behind his back.
Ye Zhou winked at Cao'er's mother. Seeing that the bandit's forehead was bleeding, Cao'er's mother shouted at him, "Stop knocking."
When it comes to passing messages, Ye Zhou still prefers Cao'er Niang, as she seems to be born with the ability to read people's faces.
It was obvious that they were not actually familiar with each other, and Ye Zhou rarely spoke to her, but she could accurately guess Ye Zhou's thoughts.
Ye Zhou even felt that Cao'er Niang might be his golden finger.
Otherwise, as a "god", he would have to explain everything himself, and tell others everything in detail. His details would probably have been known to others before he could even hire bodyguards.
Although he believes that Wu Yan is not a bad person after this period of time, sometimes good and evil are very complicated things.
Good people don't necessarily do bad things.
Everyone has weaknesses and desires, and these things cannot be tested.
Wu Yan lifted Sun Hao up and said, "My god, he is a soldier!"
Even though the immortal knows everything, Wu Yan still wants to show off his brain.
"Take Sarah and Cao'er in first." Ye Zhou turned to Zou Ming and said, "Let her take a bath and clean up. Let Wu Yan and the others take care of the rest."
Zou Ming suddenly said, "He is a bow soldier, and there are thick calluses on the tip of his thumb."
Ye Zhou was a little surprised: "It doesn't look like that."
In Ye Zhou's impression, archers in film and television dramas all have slender figures. Sun Hao is not slender. Although he is not as strong as Zou Ming, he is definitely a strong man among the natives.
Zou Ming: "The bows and arrows of this era require a lot of strength to pull. If you don't have enough strength, it will be difficult to cause damage to the enemy even if the bows and arrows are shot. Therefore, most archers are strongmen, stronger than ordinary soldiers."
Ye Zhou whispered: "Thank you, I learned something new."
He has read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, and has a special liking for the Three Kingdoms. He has no idea how many times he has read it, but he doesn't understand it as well as Zou Ming, a person from the wasteland era. He feels a little ashamed.
Zou Ming asked: "Do you want me to ask him?"
Ye Zhou also thought it would be a good idea to let Zou Ming do some work so that he could better integrate into the place.
Maybe Zou Ming can get along well with Wu Yan because of this?
"Okay, you go." Ye Zhou nodded to Zou Ming.
Zou Ming walked down the stairs. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and with his exposed arm muscles, even if he said nothing and just stood there, he could give people a great sense of oppression.
He walked up to Sun Hao and looked down at him: "You are an archer, you are useless if you are not in the barracks."
"It takes several years to train an archer."
Zou Ming: "Your military camp is still there."
Sun Hao was confused. He quickly said, "No, no, no, I'm not a soldier anymore! When the famine first hit, the captain said he would take us to the pass, but he got sick and died. Some people wanted to go to the pass, some didn't, so we dispersed..."
Zou Ming remained calm: "Are you sure you want to continue lying?"
Sun Hao gritted his teeth, raised his head and stared into Zou Ming's eyes: "I never lied!"
Just when Ye Zhou thought that Zou Ming was still trying to persuade Sun Hao and get the information out of him with his words, Zou Ming raised his leg and kicked Sun Hao away.
Ye Zhou: “…”
Did he see it wrong?
Such a big man, and he flew out?
Isn't this outrageous?
Sun Hao fell to the ground not far away. He knelt on his legs, supporting himself with the ground with his bound hands, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
A shadow fell on Sun Hao's head.
Sun Hao was terrified. He was afraid of Sarah on his way because he knew she was a female monster.
But now, he just felt that the man in front of him was more terrifying than the female monster.
The she-demon would kill him, but she would not torture him.
But this man would surely torture him.
Zou Ming frowned slightly: "I don't have time to play guessing games with you, nor do I have time to listen to your nonsense. I'm giving you a chance now, tell me everything you know, otherwise... I don't think you want to know what else."
Zou Ming asked the same question in the base.
If he wants to survive and control his own destiny, he has to be stronger and more cruel than everyone else.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, and he wouldn't show mercy to the other party just because he was a prisoner.
Sun Hao lay on the ground and kept coughing. He suddenly looked at Sarah not far away.
Cao'er's mother, who had already run over, suddenly came over and played the good cop: "As long as you tell the truth, I can spare your life. The immortal has a heart to save the suffering and is willing to take in even monsters, so why would he not be willing to take you in?"
"Would you like to go back to being a bandit and continue struggling in the mud with your group of brothers, or would you like to enter the immortal sect and practice cultivation in the hope of achieving immortality?"
Zou Ming looked numb.
Cao'er's mother's ability to tell lies with open eyes is getting better and better.
Sun Hao seemed to be moved by Cao Er Niang's words. He was afraid of Zou Ming, but he also had hope in Cao Er Niang's "promise". He finally said, "We... said we had a thousand people, but because hundreds of brothers died in the fight against bandits, less than four hundred survived."
"The captain wanted to take us to the pass, but there was already a plague at the pass at that time. Going there would mean death."
"Then, someone killed the captain and took us away."
Sun Hao spat out another mouthful of blood.
Just as Cao'er's mother was about to speak, Zou Ming suddenly asked, "What are you eating?"
Sun Hao replied cautiously: "Eat whatever you have. Kill the horses in the camp."
Wu Yan listened to it and sighed, "It's not easy..."
Zou Ming said, "You eat people."
This time even Ye Zhou couldn't help but tremble, fortunately no one was paying attention to him.
Zou Ming: "Your physique is not something you can achieve by just being a vegetarian. How many horses can there be in a military camp? How many people can they feed? How many meals can they eat?"
Zou Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "The refugees have nothing to eat except the meat on their bodies."
Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou.
His pair of dark eyes looked at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou understood what he meant almost instantly.
This person cannot stay.
Driving it out is like letting a tiger return to the mountains; keeping it in the supermarket is like a time bomb.
Can a person who has eaten humans still be considered a human being?
Sun Hao knew that he could no longer hide it, so he shouted in Ye Zhou's direction: "Immortal! Immortal! I had no choice, Immortal!"
"I want to live, Immortal! If I don't eat, I'll starve to death!!"
"Bullshit!" The male employee whose child was nearly eaten suddenly rushed to Sun Hao. He punched and kicked Sun Hao, shouting at the top of his lungs, "You cannibals! Why can't you live?! Why can't you live?! There are so many of you, but if any of you are willing to escort the common people to the south, will you starve to death?! Will you starve to death?!"
Wu Yan quickly went with others to grab the male employee.
Sun Hao was beaten black and blue, but he still looked at Ye Zhou with hope: "Immortal! Immortal! I know I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth: "Please forgive me, spare me!"
"I will be a good person in the future. I will definitely be a good person in the future!"
"Didn't you say that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha? I put it down, I put it down!"
Sun Hao tried his best to smile flatteringly: "Fairy, I will show you the way and take you to find those bandits!"
"Tell them to put down their butcher knives, too."
"So, I have redeemed myself, right?"
He looked at Ye Zhou with expectation, but Ye Zhou didn't look at him.
"Lock him up in the utility room." Ye Zhou looked at Wu Yan.
Wu Yan clenched his fists and replied, "Yes."
Without paying attention to the others, Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming: "Zou Ming, follow me."
Zou Ming followed.
After the two returned to the lounge, Ye Zhou said, "I know that this person cannot be released, but I also cannot kill him in front of Wu Yan and the others. To be honest, I have never killed anyone, let alone let others kill anyone. I am afraid I cannot make this decision."
Ye Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "I have imagined this situation before, and I thought I could easily give the order to kill."
He also once imagined himself as a martial arts master who could kill one person every ten steps and leave no trace for a thousand miles.
"It's normal. You'll get used to it after seeing her a few more times." Zou Ming didn't laugh at Ye Zhou. "I didn't dare to kill someone the first time. You'll get used to it."
Ye Zhou sighed: "How can I get used to this kind of thing?"
"The military camp he mentioned..." Ye Zhou leaned back on the sofa and covered his eyes with his hands. "I need to think about it carefully."
How to maximize the utilization value of Sun Hao.
Even if he was killed, it couldn't be him who gave the order.
Immortals killing people is not a good thing for the current stable supermarket.
It would be best if the employees felt that Sun Hao got what he deserved.
In fact, it would be best if the villains were "enlightened" by the immortals, as this would be in line with people's inherent impression of the immortals.
But Ye Zhou really didn't want to "enlighten" a cannibal.
Although it was emotionally unacceptable for Ye Zhou to see the refugees dig up corpses and eat them, he could understand it.
But Ye Zhou could not accept or understand killing people and eating their flesh, no matter how emotionally or rationally he felt.
