Chapter 444 The Devil From Hell

The sky gradually dimmed.

In the woods, the figures of a man and a woman were running fast, and behind them were scouts on horseback chasing loudly.

The figure flickered, stepped straight down, and fell into a tree hole covered by weeds. The woman was about to exclaim, but her mouth and nose were covered by the man with his back firmly on the ground. Tightly pouring the woman into his arms, he held his breath listening to the gradually loud sound of horse hooves.

"What about people?"

The sound of galloping horseshoes stopped, and a sound came from overhead.

"It happened to be here, why did it disappear in an instant?"

The figure in iron armor had sharp eyes, held up the torch and looked around the surrounding jungle, trying to find clues of the fleeing figure under the gray sky.

"Separate and search around! Both of them are sick patients who were caught, and the relationship is serious!"

The soldiers of the leading scouting unit announced loudly, and the four horsemen behind them immediately shuttled through the entire forest.

Under the nearby tree hole, the man desperately pushed the freshly flattened grass away from the hole, pressed his lips tightly, and dared not speak out, buried his head in the tree hole and heard everything outside the hole tremblingly.

They were originally a pair of brothers and sisters who fled through the war and witnessed the scene of their starved relatives being eaten by seven wild wolves. Now that the army has arrived, the relief food and payment have not yet arrived, but the nightmare has come ahead of schedule.

The disease was rampant in the village, and people screamed and scratched like crazy ghosts in the village, which made people shudder.Originally thought that they would not fall down in this kind of disease when they were young and strong, but things went against their wishes. Inexplicable red spots grew on their bodies yesterday, and they were hung up in the queue for centralized control.

In the extremely high-pressure environment, taking advantage of the moment when the soldiers were careless, the two escaped and ran for their lives, and this scene happened.

The two don't want to die!
I don't even want to be locked up among those people who are plagued by diseases like this, but the hoarse roars and crazily scratching of those people are really shocking...

"no one."

"Neither here."

"This area is full of mountains, forests and wilderness, and it is far away from the boundary of Lingzhou. If you don't starve to death, you will die of thirst. Forget it."

The rustling reply resounded, and then there was a silence, and then the sound of hooves circling came out, and the sound of galloping iron hooves disappeared after a while.

The two survivors crawled out of the tree hole and tore off the weeds and moss on their bodies. Only then did the man discover that a foot-long wound had been brought out on the back of his arm.

The two looked at each other in silence, raised their sticky blood-stained arms, and pointed to the direction of Lingzhou.

"Go there, maybe you can find a way to survive..."

With their injuries ahead, the two had no choice but to head towards Lingzhou City under the cover of night.

……

I don't know how long it will take.

In the shaking field of vision, the dirty arm of the woman with chapped lips reached out to the figure on her back to snort, and the faint breath touched her fingers, making her feel that new hope was still in front of her eyes.

The wound on the arm on the back has long been blocked by dried blood, but the figure on the back has a high fever untimely. In the dream, it seems that it is still recalling the tragic scene it saw earlier, urging the woman to escape intermittently...

Last night when I was avoiding the dispatched scouts, I heard from their conversation that the food and salaries for disaster relief had already arrived in Lingzhou, presumably they would be able to eat delicious corn and rice by then....

Perhaps, in Lingzhou.

Is everything saved?

she thought.

The pale, cracked and blood-stained lips squirmed slightly, and with the little strength left, a voice spit out from the lips.

"Brother...you are holding on..."

"Lingzhou has rice... There is a doctor... It's okay... You will be fine."

distance.

She vaguely saw a puddle, and her dry and cracked lips seemed to be glued together. Hungry and thirsty, she wiped off the sweat from her forehead, squeezed out a smile while staggering, and walked towards the puddle.

Stepping on the ruts full of footprints with vain steps, he no longer cared about these, and fell down with a thud while shaking, turned over the figure on his back, climbed a certain distance, and just got up with difficulty, staggering, and rushed to the water's edge Regardless of being covered in mud, he poured water into his mouth.

Recovering a little strength, he turned around and dragged the slumped and muddy figure to the edge of the pool. Trembling with the water stains, he sent it to the weak figure's mouth, and squeezed out tears with joy.

"Brother... we are saved... we are saved."

"It seems that this is God..."

The hand holding the water stopped suddenly, and his tongue licked the water stains on his lips, and a doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

"...This smell...how strange..."

The early morning wind blew over several big trees around, and amidst the rustling of the leaves, the colors gradually brightened, and the field of vision was slightly elevated along the direction of the water pool.

Ah~~
The screams suddenly resounded throughout the area, startling the jet-black birds to flap their wings and fly up to the branches.

The woman fell backwards on the muddy ground with her hands on her hands, her eyes widened as if they were about to burst.

In that water pool, there are dozens of blistered and swollen corpses floating, and there are living creatures and insects writhing in the black eyeballs...

Wow ~
A huge sense of nausea crept into her heart, the woman retched a few times, her pale face was even bloodless, and she dragged the man beside her to leave.

Disgustingly wiped away the water stains from the corners of her mouth, the same scene of dragging corpses appeared in front of her eyes, and the woman seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.

"Those corpses... Could there be a plague?"

"...No, no...I don't want to die...I won't die...I want to save my brother..."

Stumbling with a weak figure on his back, he continued to embark on the journey, and the outline of the city seemed to vaguely emerge in the thin wind and sand at the end.

The midday sun suddenly heated up, scorching the gravel hotly, her whole body began to feel hot all over, and her mind seemed to gradually become confused.In the frivolous footsteps, some merchants driving chariots and horses seem to be walking on the top of the sand dunes.

The instinctive desire to survive was filled with a clear heart, and the woman slowly stretched out her thin arms and probed into the dry and hot air, and the sound, which was so weak as a mosquito, sounded faintly.

"Save... help me..."

He wanted to go over, but his body seemed to be disobedient, his shaky vision began to sway like a slack, and the sand and stone under his feet gradually enlarged in his eyes.

After an unknown period of time, it seemed that there were voices of discussion around him, as if they were only remaining in their consciousness.

"...It's a pitiful person too... still carrying people behind her back, presumably they are all poor people... save them... while there is still breath."

"You don't want to live anymore?... It is said that Liangzhou is a forbidden place now, and people are not allowed to enter or leave... They must have escaped from there..."

"Yeah, I heard that there are interviews with people with the disease... You don't have to be afraid if you save it, go in by yourself..."

"After the great war, it is God's will to survive. Who can expect what will happen tomorrow... Even if you fall in front of us, it may be God's will..."

The body seemed to be lifted into the air and placed on the carriage.

The heavy eyelids could no longer hold up, and the consciousness in his mind also shook with the carriage, gradually returning to darkness.
