Ye An

The snowmobile drove by at high speed, kicking up large pieces of ice and crushed snow.

There were traces of fire on the car body, and the windshield was also shattered in the explosion. Many people in the convoy were affected by the flames, so they had to abandon their hunting plan and return to the city, bringing back news of Qianjia's death.

The convoy passed through the city gate, but the gatekeepers didn't dare to stop them. Instead, they nodded and bowed, with flattery on their faces.When the convoy enters the city, facing the long line of people entering and leaving, they immediately have another face.

"Line up, hand in all the prey, and take the wooden sign to the north of the city to collect rations!"

"Anyone who dares not to hand in private possession and deprive the status of a city citizen will be escorted to the Colosseum immediately!"

"You bastards, bastards, were not pityed by the city lord, you would have entered the belly of the mutant beast long ago!"

"queue!"

Accompanied by the roar of the gatekeepers and the sound of whips breaking the wind, two long lines lined up in front of the city gate. The crowd wrapped in animal skins handed in their prey according to the rules. If they encountered no harvest, they would be caught aside immediately.

Begging, cursing, crying, and crying are all useless. What awaits them is either the cages of the Colosseum or endless coolies until the end of their lives.

A half-grown boy was dragged out of the team, and his mother rushed forward and was kicked to the ground.

There are two gopher cubs hidden in the boy's arms, only the size of a palm, and the eyes have not yet opened. When they are about to pass through the city gate, they make a cry and are noticed by the gatekeeper.

This is what he left for his sick brother.

The gatekeeper found the gopher, kicked the boy to the ground, stepped on the boy's cheek with the hard sole, rubbed it hard several times, then waved the whip, and whipped the boy hard one after another until the blood gushed out of the boy's cheeks. His mouth, nose, and snow under his body were all stained red.

"Take it to the Colosseum! As for that woman, send it to the west of the city together."

Several obscene men rushed forward and separated the boy from his mother.

The crowd looked at all this with numb expressions, no one spoke, let alone helped.They watched the boy and his mother being taken away, turning a deaf ear to the cries and screams flowing in the wind.

"Continue!" The gatekeeper stepped on the blood on the ground, waving his stick and whip, showing off his might.

The crowd moved slowly, like puppets without thinking ability, or walking dead.

This is Qiancheng, a city surrounded by indifference and cruelty.

When the convoy entered the city, Qianxiong jumped out of the car first, with his right arm hanging in front of him, half of his face was covered with scars, blood and flesh rolled up, and there were still glass shards that had not been cleaned in the deep wounds.

"I'm going to see the city lord, you go back first. Remember, until the city lord gives me an order, keep your mouth shut. Don't say a word about what happened today! If I know someone whose mouth is not reliable, I will cut off his mouth Hands and feet, throw him into the cage!"

Everyone in the team responded repeatedly, promising not to reveal a word.

Qianxiong's eyes swept across the crowd, half of his injured face kept shaking, making him look more and more ferocious.

"It's better!"

Qianxiong turned and left, and everyone in the convoy dispersed one after another.

No one knew why the hunting convoy went back and forth. It wasn't until the city lord issued an order to arrest all the relatives and friends of the six people who had escorted Qianjia out of the city and throw them alive into the animal cage that everyone realized that something serious had happened.

"City Lord, it was Ming Fang who did it. She admitted it herself, and it has nothing to do with Ah Sheng and the others." Qianxiong tried to intercede. According to Ming Fang's words, Ah Sheng and the others were really innocent.

"Irrelevant?" A slightly feminine voice sounded in the room, and the man standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back turned around, his narrow eyes were cold and ruthless, "It's their biggest fault for not protecting Qianjia."

Qianxiong lowered his head, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and chills rose from the soles of his feet.

"And, did Ming Fang really do it alone?"

"What does the city lord mean?"

"Qianjia went out to hunt jackals in the city, and the news is not confidential. Qiancheng has few friends, but has many enemies. There are also savages wandering in the snow field, maybe that woman has accomplices." Qianwu walked up to Qianxiong, slightly Lowering his body, his voice clung to Qianxiong's ear, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, "Organize people to go to the snowy field, and to several nearby cities. I want to know if that woman has any accomplices. Qianjia's death is exactly as she said. Still targeting Qiancheng, targeting me!"

"Yes!"

Ye An didn't know what happened in Qiancheng.

He waited all morning by the pine forest, and finally the red squirrel he was looking for arrived.For this purpose, nearly one-third of the jerky is consumed.

Taking advantage of the red squirrel being attracted by the dried meat, Ye An opened the car door and approached carefully. After the squirrel gave a warning, he immediately stopped and concentrated on trying to establish a connection with the squirrel.

In that life-and-death struggle, in order to get rid of Ah Sheng, Ye An came to the pine forest with the idea of ​​dying together.Embracing the idea of ​​mortality, unleashing all the despair, accidentally forming a connection with this red squirrel!

This does not mean that he can understand the squirrel's call and communicate with the other party without hindrance, but through this connection, he can understand the other party's emotions, anger, joy, hunger, and satisfaction.

Mutants.

What Ah Sheng said that night lingered in Ye An's mind all the time, and he decided to come to the pine forest to verify what he thought.

At first, when the squirrels came and went, he didn't feel any shock that night, and thought he was thinking too much.Until the red squirrel appeared, the special feeling appeared again, confirming that it was not his fantasy, which made him ecstatic.

Ye An stood in the snow, the blanket on his body was blown up by the cold wind, his cheeks and neck were hurt by the blowing, but his heart became hot.

One step, two steps, three steps, he tried to understand the red squirrel's emotions at the moment, and realized that the other party had no intention of attacking, so he walked carefully under the tree and put more dried meat into the snow.

The red squirrel stopped eating, scratched its belly with its sharp front claws, and the hairs on its ears fluttered in the wind, conveying an emotion similar to doubt.

Ye An slowly squatted down, trying to make himself look harmless.He could feel the gaze from above his head, and if there was anything wrong, the squirrels would tear him apart.

The cold wind blew by, and the crushed snow hit his face. Ye An's legs were numb from squatting. Finally, the red squirrel uttered a cry, bit a piece of jerky, and quickly climbed up the tree.

Calls of different lengths passed through the forest, and a large number of pine cones fell from the treetops and fell to the ground with crackles.

Ye An lifted the blanket from his body and spread it directly on the ground, covering the pine cone that fell from the sky.When the calls stopped and the squirrel returned to the depths of the pine forest, it knotted the four corners of the blanket, carried it heavily on its back, and turned back to the snowmobile.

The leg numbness has not yet recovered, he staggered during his actions, and almost fell in the snow several times, but Ye An couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, he pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth, and let out a cold hiss.

Ming Fang warned him to go away, and Ye An also wanted to go, but after he came to this world, his range of activities was limited, and the farthest he could go was not far from this pine forest.If you leave rashly and go to a strange place, there is no guarantee that you will encounter something, and I am afraid that you will die faster.

All he can do is rely on the existing conditions and experience to ensure his own safety to the maximum extent.Establishing a bond with the red squirrel and ensuring that he will not be attacked by this population at the edge of the pine forest is his greatest achievement.

"The RV can't live anymore, go to the west of the pine forest."

In order to save fuel, Ye An wrapped himself in three blankets, tore a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth. It was so hard that he could hardly chew it. Fortunately, he could add a lot of calories.Regardless of the cracked frostbite, Ye An rubbed his hands vigorously until his fingers warmed up and could bend flexibly. He immediately started the snowmobile and headed west along the edge of the forest according to the memory in his mind.

There is a frozen lake in the west of the forest, and there is an abandoned wooden house by the lake.Ye An had strayed in before, and was almost taken as dinner by the mutated black bear hiding in the house.

As a last resort, Ye An didn't want to provoke this mutant bear.But he needs a shelter, a shelter that can block the wind and snow and allow him to survive the severe cold, and that is the most suitable choice.

If he wants to survive in this cruel world, he must take risks, keep taking risks, and even if he pushes himself to the limit, he must not give up lightly.

"In any case, fight this time."

Ye An gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring forward with both eyes, like a lone wolf locking on its prey.

The tall pine trees retreated, the thick snow whined under the wheels, and finally a corner of the wooden house came into view.

The door was nowhere to be seen, replaced by stones, bark and hay.Apparently the mutant bear couldn't bear the howling cold wind.There are several snowdrifts beside the house, the bottom is not snow and mud, but the bones of mutant animals captured and devoured by mutant bears, piled up one by one, the highest one is three to four meters.

Ye An stopped the snowmobile and watched from behind the window.

He had to be careful, sneak into the cabin without disturbing the target, and kill him with one blow.Otherwise, he would also become one of the pile of bones.
