Ye An

"Come with me."

Ye An broke open the cage and signaled the people inside to come out quickly.

The old people were very cautious, but they didn't question Ye An at this moment, let alone question Ye An's identity and purpose.When the cage door opened, he quickly picked up the child beside him, carried the child on his back, followed closely behind Ye An, and prepared to rush out of the flames.

They don't want to die, even if there is a chance, they want to live.

Ye An is their only chance.

Even if he came from the slave ship rumored in the camp, they recognized it.

The wind rose from the ground, and the flames blazed.

The wind helped the fire, the fire danced with the wind, and the burnt wood was sent to every corner of the camp with the flames.

Houses, tents and fences are burning.

The entire camp was engulfed in flames, like a huge fireball, entrenched on the high ground, extremely eye-catching in the dark night.

The surviving colonists fell to the ground howling, writhing in agony, trying to extinguish the flames.The face and limbs were already pitch black, and it was unclear whether it was the scars left behind or the smoke.

As Ye An and his group passed by, fierce eyes appeared in the eyes of the howling people, and they reached out their hands desperately, not to ask for help, but to grab their ankles, delay their speed, and try to keep them all in the sea of ​​flames.

The old people recognized who the assailant was, with anger and hatred on their faces, remembering what these people had done, they raised their feet one after another, stepped on them hard, and crushed the palms that came over.

"what!"

The attacker screamed, his eyes were red, his face was scorched black, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The old people kept on doing nothing, picking up broken weapons, wood and stones from the ground, and hacking at the attackers.

Ye An didn't stop them, but reminded them to move faster and rush out before the flames surrounded them.

Outside the camp, Zijing and the others waited anxiously, pacing non-stop.Even knowing Ye An's ability, facing the fire in front of him, he couldn't help feeling worried.

A burning fence suddenly toppled over, the flames split into several paths, ran across the grass along the broken logs, and were intercepted by a stream, unable to move forward, they could only burn on the spot.

The evaporated water vapor rose in large swaths, bringing scorching heat waves, forcing Zijing and others to retreat and dragging away the captured hunting team members.

After the fence, Ye An rushed out with more than 20 elderly people and children.

Trapped in the smoke for too long, the eyesight of the old people was damaged, and everything in front of them became blurred. They could only let the children lead the way, closely following Ye An's footsteps, so as not to be left too far behind.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Ye An rushing out of the camp, Zijing breathed a sigh of relief, waved his arms through the evaporating water vapor, and went up to meet Ye An.

The fire was too big, Ye An had been very careful, but he still couldn't help being scorched by the flames a few times.There were holes in the coat on his body, and the hair near his right ear was curled up by sparks, giving off a strange smell.

After crossing the creek, Ye An led the people to continue walking until they were completely out of the range covered by the flames. Then he took the water bag from Bauhinia and poured a few mouthfuls with his head raised.

Wiping off the water stains around his mouth, Ye An handed the water bag to Zijing, indicating that she would distribute it to the rescued old people and children.

"Thank you."

After the old people thanked them, they didn't drink it themselves, but passed it to the children's mouths first.The children are very sensible, and they push the water to the old man after they touch their lips, and wait for them to moisten their throats before taking a big drink from the water bag.

These children were of different ages, and their faces were blackened by the flames, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.Judging from their size and shape, most of them are about the same age as Xiaoweizhu, maybe even younger.

The environment is cruel, and as a homeless person, the living conditions are even more difficult.

Ye An really wanted to know how these old people raised these children.Besides them, is there anyone else wandering around.

It's just that now is not the time to talk.

After the old man and the child replenished their water and most of their strength recovered, Ye An prepared to return to the warship and leave this highland.

The hunting team fell to the ground and curled up as much as possible. Firstly, the headache had not recovered, which made him unable to move freely; secondly, seeing the rescued old people and children and seeing the bloody weapons in their hands, something bad happened in their hearts. premonition.Rely on instinct and minimize your sense of existence.

Unfortunately, his wish did not come true.

The old man and the children regained their strength and rushed towards him immediately.

Bauhinia frowned and was about to speak, but Ye An shook his head, signaling that she didn't have to stop her.

"Let them go."

Like the men in the fire, the hunters were beaten to death.He couldn't utter a scream until he died, because his jaw was smashed immediately and his tongue was pulled off on the spot.

Such behavior seemed cruel, but compared to the evil deeds he had done, the revenge he received was less than one ten thousandth.When the old people dispersed, there was only a mess left on the ground, and the broken bones were scattered, and it was impossible to put together a complete human figure.

"Go, go back to the boat."

Ye An looked at the camp, where it was completely engulfed in flames, no one could escape.Even if it rushed out against the flames, it would be covered by leeches entrenched on the ridge, reduced to dry bones, and soon sank underwater.

The old people misunderstood Ye An's identity and thought that if they escaped from the camp, they would be tied up. They also accepted the possible fate and secretly told the children not to resist.

It never occurred to him that Ye An had no intention of tying them up at all, and even waited for them to recover before taking them on the road.

What Ye An did was unexpected. After getting out of danger, the old people couldn't help guessing and questioned his identity.

They have been able to live in the dangerous wasteland until now, and they have also raised many picked children. When their bodies are gradually weakening, years of accumulated survival experience are indispensable.

They had heard of slave ships, and some had seen them from afar as early as 30 years ago.

Ye An was too young, and his attitude towards people was too gentle. Although the Zijing and others beside him were tough, they were very different from the vicious slave ship thugs.

There are more and more doubts, and the old people have doubts: Is what the escaped residents are telling the truth?Or had they misidentified the young man from the beginning?

The road back to the warship from the camp was not easy. There was heavy rain on the way, and the road became muddy. We needed each other to support each other and be extra careful not to fall.

Passing through a bush, Zhizi accidentally stepped into a mud pit, and the bottom of the pit boiled instantly, and arm-thick earthworms suddenly appeared, wrapped around her calves, and the sucker on the top of her head bit fiercely, causing a sharp pain.

"Gardenia!"

Zijing quickly rushed forward, grabbed Zhizi's arm, and together with the two women dragged her out of the quagmire, bringing out several mutated earthworms at the same time.

The earthworms were coiled on the ground, and they were hacked several times by Bauhinia, and foul-smelling blood flowed from the cuts.

Zhizi's leg was bitten to a bloody mess, and the blood that flowed out was not bright red, but with green spots, obviously poisoned.

As time passed, her consciousness gradually became unconscious, her hands were scratching, her eyes could not focus, and she began to hallucinate.

Ye An and Zijing had encountered giant earthworms, which were larger in size but did not have such a strong toxin.Ye An took out the antidote prepared by Lily of the Valley, but it still couldn't relieve Gardenia's symptoms.

Zhizi's situation is getting worse and worse, everyone has nothing to do, Zijing said with difficulty: "My lord, I'm afraid Zhizi... really can't do it, first tie her up, and don't let her hurt anyone."

In a short period of time, Zhizi became crazy and began to attack people around her indiscriminately.

Ye An was about to assimilate her when an old man suddenly said, "My lord, drain the blood of the earthworm, tear it up with bare hands, mix it with a small amount of mud and apply it on the wound, it can detoxify."

The old man's throat was injured, his voice was hoarse, and his words were not so clear.

The voice came to his ears, and Ye An looked over immediately, and found that the old man who spoke was tall, with a stooped back, and the animal skin on his body was torn, and his exposed right forearm was covered with a striking fish pattern.
