The refugees gradually formed a rough formation and followed behind the safe zone.
"Huh?" Wang Qinshui also noticed the changes in the refugees behind her.
It seems that an organizer has emerged among these refugees.
He was also somewhat surprised that someone could gather so many disobedient refugees and make them obey commands.
"Look, it's the sharpshooter Li Yu."
"Li Yu is back from hunting."
Some of the refugees, with sharp eyes, noticed Li Yu riding slowly ahead on horseback and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing Li Yu's name, Wang Qinshui couldn't help but turn his head to look. Seeing the powerful bow and arrow in Li Yu's hand, he couldn't help but sigh.
"That's incredible."
Among this group of refugees, not only were there organizers, but also an Awakened individual like Li Yu, who possessed extremely strong offensive capabilities.
In the past, Wang Qinshui would never have believed it.
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao rode their horses, deliberately slowing their pace as they walked leisurely among the safe zone and the refugees.
At this moment, the safe zone and the refugees actually formed a huge migration procession, moving westward together along the railway tracks.
As two opposing forces, the two teams were now almost touching each other.
This has created a rare and unique scene on this barren land.
Portable House LV7: Quick deployment, structural strength +70, wind and rain resistance. Concealment +70, self-repair capability.
After a series of intensive upgrades, Li Yu had already upgraded the portable house two levels, but the Qingcheng that the soldiers had mentioned still hadn't appeared ahead of the railway tracks.
Li Yu looked at the improved attributes and felt that this concealment feature seemed to have something special about it.
I gently stroked Xiao Hei's mane with my hand.
It's a pity that the little black dog is too big to fit in; otherwise, the portable house would be even more perfect in terms of concealment.
Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes kept darting around Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei felt a chill run down his spine and turned around in fear.
Then you can see Li Yu on its back constantly looking at its body, and her hands seem to be gesturing something.
"Really can't get in? I think it's about the same. Maybe we can squeeze in." Li Yu muttered to herself, looking at Xiao Hei.
The little black horse's face darkened, its eyes widened in terror, its tail involuntarily twitched, and its skin trembled involuntarily.
The terrifying scene of Li Yu dissecting the alien beast flashed through his mind.
If Fu Xiyao hadn't noticed Xiao Hei's change and was gently comforting it, it might have already abandoned Li Yu and run away...
"It's so far, I can't walk anymore."
"Aren't we there yet? We've been walking all day."
The ordinary people in the safe zone were exhausted by this time.
Even Wang Lijian, who was leading the way at the front of the group, couldn't help but complain at this point:
"There doesn't seem to be anything ahead. Could they be lying to us?"
"It should be just ahead. Let's set up camp." Wang Qinshui knew that there was no time to rush things.
As darkness fell and Qingcheng remained a distant prospect, the team had no choice but to stop and rest.
Li Yu looked ahead, and in the distance, only the dilapidated railway tracks still stretched forward through the rain and mist.
Li Yu remembered that the soldier had only said that following the railway tracks would get you to Qingcheng, but he hadn't said how long it would take.
Judging from this situation, Qingcheng is probably still a long way off for them.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it deception; it's just that the soldier definitely had ulterior motives.
"Rest where you are."
Seeing that they had stopped in the safe zone, Ma Yuanbai behind them also ordered a rest.
The refugees also stopped and gathered in small groups under the tattered waterproof tarpaulin.
When they had enough to eat, the refugees were still willing to gather together to chat and talk.
When you're hungry, that's a different story.
Li Yu also found an open space nearby and was about to take out the portable house when she saw Xiao Hei looking timid and hesitant.
"Did you finish eating all the crystal cores again?" Li Yu asked helplessly. This little black dog could eat way too much.
They not only eat the meat of exotic beasts, but also the crystal cores.
These are exotic beast cores that are very difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
Even if you're rich, you can't squander money like this.
Despite thinking this, Li Yu still took out a beast core and waved it at Xiao Hei.
"come over."
Upon seeing the crystal core, Xiao Hei's eyes lit up instantly, and it skipped and hopped over, its earlier fear of Li Yu completely forgotten.
"Here, take these two." Li Yu handed two more crystal cores to Fu Xiyao beside her.
If Fu Xiyao continues to absorb at such a slow pace, when will her superpowers level up?
"Can't you learn more from it? Your absorption speed is completely inadequate," Li Yu said, looking at the lively little black dog beside her.
Fu Xiyao lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and silently accepted the crystal core handed to her by Li Yu.
She really tried her best.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the group of refugees.
Can you smell it?
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
"It's barbecue! Someone's barbecuing!"
"How is this possible? How can someone be grilling meat here?" a refugee muttered to himself in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity as he looked around.
Is it really barbecue?
“I don’t care what it is, I just want to eat!” another refugee shouted, his eyes filled with nothing but longing for roasted meat.
"I can smell it too."
"I smelled wild boar meat."
Several more refugees suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with confusion and longing.
Drawn by the sudden aroma, the refugees drooled and, as if pulled by invisible threads, involuntarily walked into the dark, pouring rain.
At this moment, even the people in the safe zone suddenly sniffed hard and stood up abruptly.
"It smells like mutton!"
"Just like the food I ate during the Lunar New Year in the safe zone," a middle-aged man sighed, a nostalgic look on his face.
"It also tastes like beef."
"steak!"
"It's bread, I'm sure of it! It's freshly baked bread, still warm!"
The cook in the safe zone also stood up, his nose constantly sniffing the air, as if trying to catch a whiff of aroma.
"No, it smells like a woman's fragrance to me." A guard grinned wickedly, his hands reaching forward involuntarily.
The woman standing nearby immediately retorted:
"What woman? This is clearly perfume."
The smells that everyone perceived seemed completely different, but without exception, these people had already uncontrollably walked towards the dark, rainy area beside them.
Just then, a voice rang out beside Li Yu.
"Mom, is that you?"
Fu Xiyao's voice trembled slightly.
Her eyes lost focus and became empty and lifeless; she seemed to smell the warmth of her mother's embrace.
Fu Xiyao's feet moved involuntarily toward the dim light, completely disregarding the chaos around her.
