I have a city in another world

Chapter 5063 Despicable Hearts

On the outskirts of the deserted city, a long team passed by, and the members of the team were in extremely miserable shapes.

They have traveled so long that they are now so exhausted that they can't even lift their legs when walking.

But he didn't dare to stop, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Just dragging my legs like this, moving forward little by little, not knowing when I will reach the finish line?

Many old and young people in the team are in extremely bad condition at the moment, their faces are full of ashes, obviously hungry and tired to the extreme.

While walking, when I see green grass and tree bark on the ground, I rush forward desperately.

Stuff it into the mouth, regardless of whether there is mud or not, but keep chewing and swallowing it into the stomach.

What's more, they put their hands into other people's mouths and pull out the chewed grass roots and bark.

He stuffed it into his mouth, covered his mouth with his hands, rolled his eyes and swallowed it into his stomach.

Although the grass bark is dry and astringent, it is a rare delicacy in the mouths of hungry victims.

Even grass and tree bark cannot meet the needs of all victims. After the front team passes, the victims behind can’t even find grass roots.

As the team moved forward, corpses would be dropped from time to time.

The corpse was so hungry that it was skinny and bony, with no fat left, but even so, it was still dilapidated.

The missing flesh and blood of the corpse was not eaten by wild beasts, but roasted and cooked by fellow victims.

In a desperate situation, people are like beasts, in order to survive, they can do anything.

The team manager turned a blind eye to this tragedy of cannibalism, as if he hadn't seen it.

Their situation was pretty good, at least they didn't have to eat turf and tree roots, and the existing food was enough to last for a while.

But even so, they still couldn't be satisfied.

Compared with the rich clothes and fine food in the past, the ups and downs along the way make people collapse, and many powerful people can't bear it.

Therefore, he was furious and lost his temper constantly along the way.

But now, they no longer have the authority they had in the past. The servants and disaster victims who used to be respectful to them now have extremely perfunctory attitudes.

Obviously, it is very clear that the current situation is difficult, and even high-ranking nobles may fall into the dust sooner or later.

For monsters, no matter nobles or commoners, they are just food in their mouths.

But in the hands of these nobles, they still control the military power, and they can determine life and death with one word.

This shameless combination of interests, even in the process of escaping, is still trying to dominate.

As for the life and death of the victims, these powerful people didn't bother to care at all. If they hadn't wanted to use them as a flesh-and-blood barrier to prevent the attack and devouring of the monsters, they would have been expelled and abandoned long ago.

In the team at this moment, a group of princes and dignitaries are talking and discussing the next action plan.

The goal of their trip is the legendary Loucheng.

As the noble ruling class, they have access to numerous information channels and can obtain useful intelligence clues.

They spent a lot of resources before, and they learned the news about Loucheng from the practitioners.

Knowing that in that piece of wasteland, a new super city was built, and now it has accommodated tens of millions of residents.

With the protection of the building city and a mysterious magic city, the monsters did not dare to approach at all.

Especially not long ago, Loucheng issued an announcement actively inviting disaster victims from the True Spirit World to seek refuge.

No matter which state capital you belong to, as long as you enter the wilderness, you can get the protection of Loucheng.

After the news came out, it caused quite a stir, and countless victims of the disaster felt yearning for it.

Longing to go to Loucheng, away from the threat of monsters.

The problem is that the place where Loucheng is located is really too far away. The road is full of high mountains and long rivers, and I don’t know how long it will take to reach it.

Not to mention that along the way, there are countless dangers, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Those who have a heart for Loucheng can only give up helplessly in the end, and they feel extremely regretful.

Fortunately, they are not too far away from Loucheng, only separated by two state capitals.

The roads along the way are smooth and commercial activities are booming.

After the disaster, monsters ran rampant and this trade route was completely interrupted.

The cities and villages along the way were all destroyed by monsters, and the original residents were either killed or injured.

Those who survived by chance were also forced to flee, leaving behind pieces of ruins.

With no more blood to devour, the monsters moved away and went to other places to find more food.

Monsters have a habit of not returning easily after hunting in an area.

When other monsters smell the scent, they will also avoid it without wasting time searching again.

This is a very correct approach, because it is difficult for creatures to multiply in a short period of time after the harvested land.

Instead of wasting time searching, it is better to find new hunting grounds to get more delicious food.

The hunting habits of monster beasts have led to the emergence of uninhabited areas, which are obviously safer than other places.

Before they took action, they had sent experts to investigate and left secret signs along the way.

Walking along the safe passage, you can avoid the attack of monsters until you reach the wilderness.

The journey went smoothly without any danger, but we encountered a large number of victims along the way.

The original plan was to drive them away, so as not to affect the operation, but after some discussion, it was finally decided to keep the victims.

Follow around the team to form a wall of flesh and blood to prevent accidents from happening.

Once there is danger, the victims can also be used to block it, and the protected dignitaries can take the opportunity to escape.

Those greedy monsters have never been picky eaters, let alone distinguish between rich and poor.

As long as there is enough time, you can use the disaster victims to cover up and easily escape from the monsters.

Now it is getting closer and closer to the wasteland, and it will take a few days to arrive.

A group of powerful people running around have become impatient and want to reach Loucheng as quickly as possible.

If you want to move fast, you must travel lightly and discard all useless things as much as possible.

Once the resolution is passed, the first object to be abandoned is the disaster victims who followed along the way.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with such a choice, but it is a matter of course.

Now that they have lost their value, they naturally have to discard them directly. Could it be possible to take them into the wasteland together?
If it weren't for them now, they would have lost their authority long ago and might even force the victims to return directly.

The more disaster victims who enter Loucheng, the more resources will be taken up, which may affect them at that time.

If so many untouchables passed by and angered the noble immortal master in Loucheng, wouldn't that be self-defeating?

The most sensible approach is to leave these victims behind, and then they go to the wasteland alone.

Keeping these disaster victims has another advantage, that is, it can stop the monsters from chasing and killing them.

Once the monsters catch up, they can attack the victims first to ensure the safety of the powerful.

It only took a stick of incense time for the action plan to be formulated.

A group of powerful people issued an order to hide all the victims and hit the road as quickly as possible.

In order to save their lives, the dignitaries and their subordinates acted vigorously and threw away useless things. The food was only enough for a few days.

In the past, it would have been impossible to obtain even a grain of food.

The victims quickly discovered the anomaly and chased after them begging, but they were killed and driven away by the officers and soldiers.

But in the blink of an eye, corpses littered the fields, and rivers of blood flowed from the killings.

Unexpectedly, this bloody smell was smelled by a group of monsters who happened to pass by, and then rushed over overwhelmingly.
