The moment he turned around, Xu Qing quickly swept behind him.
He saw seven people in different positions seven or eight feet away, approaching him in a scattered manner.
These seven people are all adults, both male and female, dressed mainly in leather jackets, dark gray in color, and hanging many leather bags.
Everyone has weapons on them, and they are scattered.
Three of them held bows and two held knives, and neither of them left their backs to each other, as if they were on guard.
There was also a person wearing gloves on his hands and walking alone, in the middle.
As for the person with a strange yin and yang tone just now, he was a tall and strong man.
This person was carrying a huge battle axe, and he was the closest to Xu Qing.
He was extremely burly, with a hideous scar on his face and a beard, with cruelty in his eyes at this moment, and he took big steps with a fierce smile and approached Xu Qing.
All of this was seen by Xu Qing after glancing at it.
He shrank his tong, and his mind instantly analyzed that these people were not like a whole with each other, but more like a temporary team.
This can be clearly seen from their position and precautions.
And Xu Qing had already guessed the identity of these people, they ...... They are all waste pickers!
There is no shortage of waste pickers in Nanhuangzhou, most of them are ferocious and don't have much bottom line to talk about, everything is naked and preyed upon by the weak.
Obviously, this time the blood rain in the forbidden area stopped, the barrier was opened, and the surrounding scavengers were attracted and flocked.
For them, although the forbidden area was dangerous, they were the ones who survived on the tip of the knife, and the resources contained in the empty city were enough to make them red-eyed.
Even if most of the materials are contaminated, there are still valuable things.
As his thoughts were spinning rapidly, Xu Qing's body shook and he was about to jump away from one side.
But the big man who was approaching him, seeing that Xu Qing was about to run away, had a stronger ferocity in his eyes, and his fierce smile was bloodthirsty.
"Want to run? I like to slaughter a little brat like you the most, there should be a lot of items in your leather bag, Team Lei, this kid, give it to me."
The cruelty in the big man's eyes seemed to be able to emanate from his child hole, forming a deterrent, and with his tall body and battle axe, the sense of oppression was extremely high.
At this moment, he strode over, and the battle axe in his right hand was even more picked up, and he threw it directly in the direction Xu Qing wanted to jump.
With a whistle, the tomahawk cut through the distance between the two sides with a whistling sound, and approached instantly from mid-air.
The big man had a lot of strength and was not slow, but Xu Qing's speed was faster, and almost at the moment of the arrival of the tomahawk, his body accelerated to the side to avoid it.
The tomahawk roared past in front of him.
The wind blew on Xu Qing's face, blowing up some of his scattered hair, exposing his eyes as cold as a wolf under his hair.
In the next moment, Xu Qing's body rolled on the ground and did not run away, but approached the big man, raised his right hand, and a jet-black iron stick appeared directly in his hand.
With the advantage that his height was not as good as the other party's, Xu Qing jumped upwards, and the iron rod in his hand stabbed at the big man's chin from bottom to top!
All this was too fast, Xu Qing's thin body, and his previous move to escape all formed a natural cover for his shot, so that the big man also had a sense of life and death crisis at this moment.
But after all, he was experienced, and his face changed drastically at this moment, and his upper body leaned back, narrowly avoiding the iron rod, but a blood stain was still drawn on his chin.
But before his inner anger burned, Xu Qing looked indifferent, and quickly pulled out a dagger from his calf with his left hand if he missed a hit.
When the big man's upper body leaned back, he directly lowered his body and stabbed the dagger into the top of the big man's right foot.
With a pop, the dagger penetrated the straw sandals, penetrated the flesh and blood, and nailed directly into the soil!
The big man's expression was distorted, the severe pain swept through his body, and a terrible scream suddenly came out, just about to fight back, but Xu Qing was too flexible, and after the shot, his body shot back to a broken wall bunker, and the whole person squatted there, ready to go.
The swaying fire covered his face, making his whole person look a little light and dark, but the wolf-like eyes could not be hidden by the firelight, and he looked at the scavengers with vigilance and ferocity.
All this happened too quickly, and Xu Qing's age and shape were so confusing that many of the scavengers were careless and did not react immediately.
At this moment, their eyes were fierce, and the three people who opened their bows had sharp eyes in an instant.
Xu Qing, who was hiding behind the bunker, did not look at the big man who was screaming and struggling not far away, but swept past the three bow bearers, and finally looked at the man with the glove standing in the middle.
This person was an old man, although his clothes were similar to those of others, but his eyes were the sharpest, and on him, Xu Qing faintly felt the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Moreover, from his position and the instinctive gaze of other people around him, Xu Qing had some judgment in his heart.
The other party...... It should be the temporary leader of these scavengers.
Xu Qing looked at the old man and analyzed it from the bottom of his heart, while the old man was also looking at him, and there seemed to be some strangeness in his eyes.
Soon the old man looked away and looked at the incineration flame that was still rising not far away, and fell silent.
At this moment, the big man who pulled out the dagger had anger and furious in his eyes, and the whole person let out a roar and was about to rush towards Xu Qing.
"Little cub, see how I kill you!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp light, and he was about to make a move, but at this moment, an old voice came calmly.
"Enough!"
These two words seemed to have a deterrent, causing the filial man to stop and look back at the person who spoke.
The one who spoke was the old man with fist gloves that Xu Qing had just hoped for.
"Thunder ......"
"This child should be a survivor of the slums outside, and the gods have opened their nets, so don't take action, let's go."
"But......" The big man had a strong unwillingness in his eyes, he believed that he was just careless before, if he really made a move, he would crush Xu Qing's neck within a few breaths.
So just as he was about to speak, the old man glanced at him calmly.
"Do you want me to say it a second time?"
The big man struggled in his expression, but finally lowered his head.
Just when he lowered his head, he looked at Xu Qing hiding in the bunker, and the murderous intent flashed across his face, then turned around with a cold face and limped towards the old man.
Xu Qing felt this murderous intent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this group of scavengers vigilantly, gradually walking away.
But just after they walked dozens of feet away, the old man in the middle paused and turned his head, not knowing whether he was looking at Xu Qing or the hot flames burning of the pile of cremated corpses, and suddenly spoke after a while.
"Child, are you willing to leave here with me?"
Xu Qing was stunned, he noticed that the other party's words were talking about me, not us.
So he fell silent, his eyes swept through the group, and the old man was also patient, did not urge, and stood in the distance waiting for an answer.
Until more than ten breaths, Xu Qing swept these people many times, looked at the old man, and then looked at the big man who was injured by himself and had a cold face.
There was a strange light in the young man's eyes and disappeared in a flash.
He slowly stood up, without speaking, and slowly approached them.
Seeing Xu Qing coming, the old man smiled, turned around and continued to move forward, and the others also took a deep look at Xu Qing and walked away.
In this way, Xu Qing followed this group of scavengers and watched them search for valuable things in the city.
During this period, he learned the nickname of the ferocious man, and others called him a crippled cow.
This person also swept Xu Qing many times, and there was a cold glow in his eyes.
But obviously restrained, it seemed that he was not in a hurry and had to wait for the opportunity that the old man who stopped him from making a move was not there.
And he seemed to be very sure that such an opportunity would definitely be available on the road in the future.
Xu Qing thought for a moment, thinking of the big man's greed, so with his familiarity with the city, he gave some help to these scavengers.
Xu Qing's posture is very low, which makes these scavengers find valuable things faster and find more items.
And the remnant cow was obviously greedy, even if it could not be accommodated on its body and exceeded its own weight, it still wanted to take more.
As a result, he was already injured, and he searched more than others, and the items he carried were heavier.
At first, it was nothing, but as time passed, the Han man's physical strength was obviously consumed a lot, and his fatigue far exceeded that of everyone.
As for the area of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Qing considered that the old man known as the Thunder Team was helpful to him, so he did not lure them away.
It wasn't until night was about to fall that the group finally left the city and set up camp in the former slums outside the city.
They moved very skillfully and set up six tents.
Except for the two people with knives in a tent, the others were all alone, and they lit incense outside the tent, and someone took out some powder and sprinkled it around it.
Seeing that it was getting darker, all kinds of roars began to echo in the city, and these scavengers walked into the tent.
Only Team Lei glanced at Xu Qing, who was lonely, took out a sleeping bag from the side, and threw it over.
"Burning incense can dispel strange beasts, powder can avoid weirdness, with your contribution today, with me, the remnants of the cow don't dare to pay attention to you, it's safe here."
After saying that, the old man ignored it and walked into the tent.
Xu Qing didn't speak, but took a deep look at the old man's tent, picked up his sleeping bag, opened it, and got in.
But it was not sealed, but left a crack in the direction of the scavenger's tent.
Late at night, the roars and shrill sounds from the outside world became more and more intense, and the strange cries also swirled, and the terrifying atmosphere seemed to be everywhere in the outside world.
No one seems to want to leave their sheltered dwelling place at this time.
Only Xu Qing ......
He opened his eyes inside his sleeping bag, motionless, and waited silently.
Until time passed, when people were most asleep in the middle of the night, Xu Qing slowly crawled out of his sleeping bag.
He moved very carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible.
The roar and sorrow in the city echoed in his ears, but they did not distract him from the slightest distraction.
After carefully climbing out, Xu Qing silently walked towards the tent where the big man's remnant cow was.
He did not allow hidden dangers around him that threatened his life, even if it was just a hidden danger, he had to find a way to solve it immediately.
This is the law that Xu Qing learned from the lessons of blood after surviving in the slums. It is also the reason why he agreed to follow this time.
Even during the day, he reminded everyone to make them gain more, but he also saw the greed of the remnant cow and wanted to make it more and more exhausted when it was injured, so he lost his vigilance.
And his deliberate lowering of his posture was also to paralyze the other party and make him neglect to take precautions.
All this is for today's shot, at this moment Xu Qing looked calm, gently approached the tent, did not act rashly, but squatted there first and listened carefully for a long time.
After confirming these, Xu Qing squinted his eyes, slowly pulled out his iron stick, gently opened the button of the tent, and slowly got in.
The tent was dark, and Xu Qingmohu saw the remnant cow lying there, sleeping very deeply, obviously due to the load during the day, coupled with the injury, making him extremely tired.
Moreover, the mentality of the strong also makes the remnant cow unimaginable that a boy with a flattering and cooperative attitude during the day will venture in the middle of the night when other scavengers are present.
So at this moment, he didn't know that there was an uninvited guest in his tent.
Xu Qing looked at the sleeping crippled cow, his cold gaze was as calm as the deep sea, and he approached gently, until he stood next to him, Xu Qing did not procrastinate at all, the dagger in his right hand flashed cold, and instantly slashed the neck of the dazed cow.
The force was so great that the body was almost separated.
Blood gushed out in an instant.
The severe pain made the broken cow's eyes open suddenly, and when he saw Xu Qing's expressionless face, his expression showed disbelief and horror, and he was about to struggle, but Xu Qing's left hand had quickly raised and pressed it on his mouth, making it impossible to make the slightest sound.
And the struggle became more and more intense at this moment, the remnant cow's eyes widened, and his whole body twitched wildly.
But Xu Qing's hand was like iron tongs, pressing it hard, and his right foot was even raised, directly stepping on the belly of the crippled cow, turning into a bow shape, with the help of stable force, the struggle of the crippled cow was useless.
As the blood continued to gush out, the remnant cow was like a fish that had left the water, and slowly despair appeared strongly in its eyes, and even showed a plea.
But what he saw was still Xu Qing's calm face, and as for the sound of his body struggling, it was also covered up in the roar and sorrowful cry of the outside world, and it could not be heard at all.
Time passed slowly, until after more than a dozen breaths, the struggle of the remnant cow gradually weakened, and finally trembled for a moment, and the whole person relaxed, motionless, only his eyes were open, and the fear before death remained, and he died of breathlessness.
Xu Qing didn't raise his hand immediately, but waited for a while to make sure that the other party was really dead, then let go of his hand, wiped off the blood stains on it, and opened his leather bag.
The snake head wrapped in linen cloth was carefully taken out from the inside, and the fangs of the snake head were carefully used to pierce the skin of the remnant cow.
In the next moment, as the toxin spread, the corpse of the crippled cow burst into bursts of green bubbles and slowly melted.
After a stick of incense, the corpse completely turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the soil on the ground.
Xu Qing watched all this silently, began to tidy up the scene, and then disposed of the relics of the crippled cow to create the illusion that the other party was missing, and then got out of the tent.
The cold wind blew in his face, taking away some of the smell of blood stained on his body, Xu Qing looked up at the night, took a deep breath of cold air, and slowly returned to his sleeping bag.
The moment he lay in his sleeping bag, his heart finally calmed down, and the sense of security brought by the expulsion of hidden dangers made him close his eyes and fall asleep quickly, but the iron stick in his hand was always clutched tightly and never let go at all.
Silence all night.
The next morning, the morning sun shone and reflected the earth, Xu Qing opened his eyes, climbed out of his sleeping bag quietly, and his eyes seemed to sweep towards the tent where the remnant cow was.
In the next moment, his eyes shrank slightly.
The tent of the remnant cow actually disappeared.
Xu Qing's heart sank and he became more vigilant.
Soon other waste pickers also walked out of the tent one after another in the early morning, and they were surprised to find out about it for the first time, and some people searched around but failed.
But because the remnants of the cattle disappeared completely, even the tent was gone, so some people judged that the other party should have left in the middle of the night because of the greedy things in the city, or for other reasons, and left without saying goodbye.
In short, in this forbidden area, there are too many reasons for a person to disappear.
It was originally a temporary team, and the remnants were alone, so soon these scavengers stopped paying attention to the matter, and some people looked at Xu Qing, but they seemed to think that this matter could not be related to Xu Qing, and there was no obligation to investigate, so they retracted their speculation.
Only the old man known as the Thunder Team, when he took back Xu Qing's sleeping bag, gave him a meaningful glance and spoke calmly.
"Now, are you still going with me?"
This sentence has far-reaching meaning, and Xu Qing is silent.
The old man didn't say anything more, calling out to everyone, hurry under this early sun.
Xu Qing stood there for a moment, instinctively looking back at the ruined city. Finally turned his head, looking at the old man's back, and after thinking about it, he followed step by step, walking and walking, his steps gradually becoming firmer.
Six scavengers, one child, were stretched out in the sun for a long time......
In the distance, the wind blew, spreading the sighs and emotions they had when they were moving forward.
"This is the catastrophe of the gods, and the whole city will be destroyed."
"There is another forbidden area in this world......"
"This is nothing, you have heard of it, seven or eight years ago there was a big city in the northern region, and when the gods opened their eyes, that area and the city disappeared directly and strangely, as if it had never existed."
The voice of the conversation became weaker and weaker, under the early sun, in the figure traveling far away, the young man was silent, listening silently, and walking silently.
The more you go, the farther you go.
