Chapter 269

David didn't know whether he should thank luck or the omnipotent Almighty God. After wandering around the grassland with edita for a day, Lu Ziming, who didn't wait to catch up, miraculously met a camel team, which led them to Qi city.

When David returned to the familiar Qi city again, it was ten days after he broke up with Lu Ziming. Everywhere he could see, there were ruins, corpses piled up in the streets, the air was full of a strong smell of blood, and flies hovered on the corpses like black clouds.

The whole Qi city was desolate and desolate. There were no people, no barking of dogs, only charred walls and debris, only bodies and stumps on the ground, and only the cry of grief and weeping. A pair of frightened eyes looked at the camel team blankly from behind the broken wall. Some timid survivors trembled and hid in the corner of the wall, praying that the disaster would not come again.

The camel team travels through the grassland and desert all year round. It is the source and exchange of information and materials between various tribes in the grassland, but all the scenes in front of it shocked the camel team. Before the great disaster, the mutual hatred and killing between grasslands had disappeared for a long time. After the great disaster, the contact between tribes was more rare, and the message could only be transmitted through the camel team. Seeing such a scene, the camel team left David and edita like avoiding the plague and continued to avoid the disaster to the West.

The strength of the whole camel team is not weak, but they are unwilling to participate in the conflict between tribes for fear of avoiding it.

"Are these made by Zhuoma?" David took the war horse, his chest up and down, looked around nervously, the steel knife in his hand trembled slightly, and dared not look at those frightened and desperate eyes.

Aidita covered her mouth, disgusted and kept trying to resist the urge to vomit. Her face was pale. Her legs were weak. She pulled the reins tightly, and she would be paralyzed as soon as she let go.

"They slaughtered the whole Qi City for the antidote. They are also demons and animals..." her eyes rested on a female corpse. Her snow-white body was hung on a wooden stake, her limbs were cruelly broken, her lower body was stabbed in by a sharpened wooden stick and out of her head, and her hair covered her once beautiful face, Can't bear to appear in broad daylight with humiliation and silently accuse those crimes and cruelty.

Adita's angry roar echoed in the open street. David looked around in horror and covered adita's mouth, but he didn't see a figure.

"You don't want to die. Do you want to lead them out?"

Aidita didn't look down on the timid David. If it weren't for David, he might have a bad ending with the female corpse. However, it was the cowardly David who pulled himself from the edge of death again and again.

"What shall we do now? Shall we wait here?" aidita didn't complain about David. After breaking up with Lu Ziming, she suggested staying in place and waiting for Lu Ziming, but David insisted on staying away from the prairie voles. Maybe it was this decision that saved them and made them meet the camel team in the business.

Somehow, aidita didn't feel that David's decision was right. Maybe it was a woman's natural intuition. Now their situation is really not very good. The camel team has abandoned them in Qi city. Next, they will wait for Lu Ziming in Qi City, or continue to travel to the south. It's difficult to choose for a moment.

David checked the luggage on his horse's back and found that there was not much food left. According to the camel team, it would take ten days to go south to country Z. Not to mention whether they met any beasts on the road, even the remaining food can make them starve to death. Now they are almost on their way to death. At this time, David misses his days with Lu Ziming. After all, there is no need to worry about safety, but now they don't even have the courage to stay in Qi City and wait for Lu Ziming.

"If you don't wait here for a few days, maybe the road will arrive soon!" David looked at edita without confidence.

Aidita touched her slightly swollen belly. The child in her belly will be born in two or three months. If she doesn't rush to the human gathering area before the child is born, or if she can find a place to stabilize, she may really die in a foreign country.

Aidita also missed: "let's stay here and find some food first. If we don't see the road coming three days later, we'll continue to go south...".

They knew that Lu Ziming would also return to state Z. Qi city was just the food supply station selected by the three at the beginning. The goal was to reach state Z hacheng 1000 kilometers away from Qi City, then go all the way south to Jincheng, cross the Yellow River to Luoyang, and finally return to Lu Ziming's hometown.

In the plan, Lu Ziming will send them to Luoyang and hand them over to the local army and government. As for whether they can return to their hometown in the end, the three dare not think about it.

The two men led the war horse, and no one was interested in talking. The surroundings were full of pungent blood smell. They accidentally kicked a body that had not yet completely decomposed. They walked silently in the open street. David went into the broken house from time to time to look for possible food. He was lucky. After crossing the small Qi City, he found a lot of food, enough for them to leave Qi City and reach Ha City of Z country.

Qi City has become a hell on earth. Judging from the dry blood on the ground, the massacre should have happened one or two days ago. I don't know whether the killers will return to Qi city again. They don't dare to stay in Qi city at all.

David found an old tent in the ruins, found a secluded resting place in a valley about five miles away from Qi City, and settled down temporarily.

Every morning, David rode his horse around Qi City and came to the North Road of Qi city to wait for Lu Ziming. In this way, two days later, Lu Ziming still didn't appear on the road to Qi city.

David began to despair. He didn't know what had happened to Lu Ziming, whether he had lost his way, or... David didn't dare to think about whether they could reach Ha City in state Z without Lu Ziming's protection.

In the twilight, a long figure walked powerlessly on the lonely grassland. The boundless darkness was like an ancient fierce beast swallowing the earth. The wind gently squeezed the grass on the ground. The grass stubbornly wanted to raise its head, and the weak leaves kept swinging in the wind, as if they were going to break at the next moment.

A war horse's neighing came from the valley, followed by a black smoke rising into the sky. There was adita's hiding place. In the distance, women's screams and wanton silver laughter came. David's heart tightened and beat the war horse madly. Adita's painful struggling figure flashed in front of him. The worst result happened. Weak David didn't know the courage from there, Running towards the valley.
