Campfire Shelter.

Chapter 41

"Bloating and ascites caused by eating indigestible food?"

Colin saw a child with slender limbs chewing on a piece of wood, crushing it, and swallowing it into his stomach.

He is less than 1.2 meters tall but has a belly bigger than a basketball, with a bulging belly button.

Colin had only seen the appearance of these people in some pictures about hunger in Africa.

"Is there a famine nearby, or something happened?"

Ke Lin walked among the victims, looked around thoughtfully, and found that many trees along the way had been stripped of bark, and there were many potholes on the ground, even the grass roots could not be seen.

All edible things within sight have been eaten by refugees
What is even more uncomfortable is that some refugees with sound limbs look at the wounded and dying people like vultures from time to time, as if they are waiting for something.

The atmosphere in this area is depressing and terrifying.

However, at this moment, Ke Lin suddenly shuddered, and felt a few unkind eyes in the crowd, looking at him from all directions.

Someone is after him!

Almost at the same time, Colin also discovered the reason why he was being targeted. The refugees present were all in groups, a dozen or dozens of them, and he was the only one left alone.

The isolated self is obviously the best target!

Without waiting to think about it, some people were approaching him in a rustling sound.

There were not many people, only five or six, like hyenas, surrounded and surrounded.

These people are also dressed as refugees, but they don't have the feeling of being hungry and weak, but they are very energetic and in a good state.

At this time, as the encirclement shrinks, these people no longer deliberately hide.

One of the men with a dark and wrinkled face noticed Colin's gaze and grinned grinningly, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.

He already regarded him as a piece of fat that reached his mouth——

Literally fat!

"You really know how to choose your targets."

Seeing the guys gradually crowding up, Colin didn't panic, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Although there is something wrong about these people,
But generally speaking, they are just a group of ordinary people, and they don't say that they suddenly turned into a big guy with a height of two meters like that warden.

Taking "Retrograde" is enough to deal with it easily.

"It's the way you asked for your own death."

Colin reached into his waist pocket, and this action made the few people around him pause for a moment, worried whether the prey had some unknown means.

But after finally catching a single fat meat, they didn't want to disperse.

"There doesn't seem to be any danger around here. If there is any, it should be this group of people."

As Ke Lin thought about it, he had some guesses about what happened to the employees who lost contact in the vicinity.

If there is no accident, his first time is probably in the hands of this group of people.

The way to die is probably not comfortable.

click.

After the two sides confronted each other for more than ten seconds, the group of hyena-like carnivores began to move their legs again and surrounded them.

The nearest one was less than ten meters away from Colin.

Just when Colin was about to draw his gun, a bell sounded from afar, making the group of meat eaters stop.

Then, a commotion came from the depths of the refugee group, breaking the confrontation here.

"It's food! That noble man yesterday came to deliver food again!"

Someone yelled, and immediately afterwards, the originally depressing atmosphere around here boiled up, even the weakest people were struggling to get up at this moment, rushing towards a certain direction like a group of monkeys fighting for food.

Even the few people who regarded Colin as food also retreated after hearing the bell and disappeared into the crowd.

Before leaving, he saw the person who was looking at him say "good luck".

'Do you want to take all the people down now? '

Colin squinted his eyes. After activating the two characteristics of the retrograde, he could hit the target he wanted to hit in an instant.

But after thinking about it, he decided to wait and see first.

He has locked all these people
If you do it rashly, you may startle the snake, so you might as well just keep it and follow them later to see if you can find the employee's information.

Then, looking at the direction in which the crowd was rushing away, Colin stopped standing still and followed them, intending to see what was going on.

After all, he still has a task of [Event 5: Take "Token-13" to "World Number-13" to investigate all abnormal events that may be related to "Hunger"].

Isn't all this just related to "hunger"?

In addition to this, the evacuation behavior of these people made Colin feel that something was wrong.

Because if it is to get food so leave
Why did you give up on him?
"Speaking of which, in the prediction of fate, when Li Ming and I came here together, the description described that we saw a large number of wounded, corpses and traces of fighting, and after a while, we found a second employee nearby. .”

Colin looked around, but he didn't seem to see the traces of the battle mentioned above.

Could it be that because he came alone this time, things changed again?
At least the fierce battle mentioned in the book of fortune telling didn't seem to happen.

I guess it's early
Colin followed the direction of the crowd, and soon saw a large carriage convoy in front of the crowd.

Some soldiers in iron armor stood guard and held long knives. There were only a few dozen soldiers, spread out beside the convoy of a dozen vehicles, each with only two or three people, but the refugees did not dare to attack.

In front of the carriage convoy, a woman wearing a gray cloak to hide her face under the cloak stood on top of the carriage and directed the soldiers to distribute the food in the carriage to the hungry refugees one by one.

Each of these foods is a piece of black bread with a bad smell.

Under the deterrence of the soldiers, the order is quite normal now, and there is no stampede.

Even if there were a few people who wanted to get more bread occasionally, they were quickly picked out and thrown behind them.

"These soldiers are very strong. They can lift an adult who weighs a hundred pounds so easily. It seems that they are not as good as the warden, but they are almost as good as the warden's subordinates. However, are these breads so delicious?"

Colin smiled when he saw the refugees who got the black bread one by one, as if they were getting treasures.

Then it was sent into the mouth like crazy, and it was a mess of gnawing.
After thinking about it, Colin squeezed through the crowd and joined the queue, wanting to get a piece of bread to taste.

His keen sense of smell told him that the bread should be very unpalatable.

But look at how happy these people are eating.
He somewhat wants to try.

What if it smells stinky and tastes delicious like stinky tofu?
