Chapter 923

Two children, a man and a woman. About seven or eight years old, his tender face was stained with oil and black dirt. They were thin, skinny bodies trembling in the cold wind. Wrapped in ragged blankets and staring straight at their barbecue on the stone. The boy swallowed his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked his cracked lips.

"Want to eat?" Feng asked with a smile.

The boy nodded.

Maple picked up several pieces of barbecue with a dagger and put them on a clean stone. The two children immediately reached out to catch it, and they were not afraid of scalding. When he caught it, he shrank into a pile of stones not far from the cave, squatted down and blew at the barbecue with his small mouth. When their temperature drops a little, they can't wait to put the barbecue into their mouth. At one time, several pieces of barbecue were eaten clean.

Su shook his head and said, "you shouldn't give them something to eat."

Maple spread his hand and said, "come on, they're just two children. Besides, we can't finish the meat."

"How long do you think they haven't eaten?" Su asked.

Feng shook his head: "who knows, two days? Or three days? Does it matter?"

"I haven't tasted meat for a long time. Once I eat it, I can't stop. You only give them a few pieces of meat, but you will turn them from human to devil." Su whispered.

Feng seemed to understand what she meant. When she looked again, the two children had disappeared.

Zero kept smiling and did not interfere in the dialogue between his two partners. He also ate a piece of barbecue and said, "pack up."

"Now?"

"What do you think?" zero asked.

What else Maple wanted to say, there was a voice in the wind. More and more footsteps approached here, like a group of wolves smelling the smell of meat and surrounded them. In the wind, a child screamed, "those people have food! A lot!"

Hearing this sentence, Feng couldn't help showing a bitter expression: "it seems that I have stayed in the civilized world for too long and forgot the rules of the barbarian world."

"It doesn't matter. It's good to review occasionally." zero patted him on the shoulder.

Soon, a group of refugees surrounded the cave. There were dozens of them. With red eyes, these people are more or less carrying mutated tissue and holding iron bars or knives in their hands. A fat man walking in front with a revolver pinned to his waist seems to be the head of these people. The two children squeezed out from behind him. The boy pointed to Feng and said, "look, they still have meat!"

"I see, kid. Get out of the here and I'll give you a piece of the barbecue later." fatty felt out his revolver and said.

The boy was stunned and corrected, "we agreed just now that my sister and I are together!"

The fat man slapped him on the ground and said, "you're not allowed to talk here, son of a bitch. If you don't get out, I'll kill you both."

The girl quickly helped her brother out of the crowd. The fat man grinned and said, "my name is Luce. My people and I have been hungry for two days. It seems that you have something to eat..."

Zero smiled and said, "here are your things. Please get out of the way. We'll go now."

The fat man was stunned. He didn't expect zero to be so generous. His eyes turned and looked at him with a low sigh in his heart. Sometimes people are like this. They get what they want, but they also want more. Greed is a bottomless pit. Some people never know how to be satisfied, just like the fat man in front of them.

Luce said with a smile, "you're so generous. Why don't you leave your weapons. Wait, and the woman. Yes. Stay so that you two can get away from me."

Su's eyes filled with anger, and she wanted to touch the Titan Epee wrapped with cloth on it. Zero had already stood up one step ahead of him, looked at the fat man and said, "your name is Luce, right? If I were you, I wouldn't take such an inch. In that sentence, the food is for you, let's go, everyone saves a lot of trouble."

Luce looked at zero seriously, smiled a moment later, turned back, winked at the people behind him and said, "look, the monkey is going to scare me."

He suddenly turned back and pointed his revolver at zero's eyebrow: "unfortunately, I'm scared!"

The zero hand bounced up, and suddenly there was a white light flashing in the hole. A short knife jumped into zero's hand and first crossed Luce's wrist. Cut off his left wheel and palm, then the white light flashed again, and the short knife went deep into Luce's chest. When he pulled it out again, Luce opened his eyes, and the breathless body fell to the ground with a bang.

No one thought that just now, with a friendly face, he suddenly drew a knife to kill. And the speed was so fast that when they saw the smile on zero's face, the refugees began to retreat. They finally realized that they had provoked people they couldn't afford.

Wipe the blood off the short knife, zero put away the knife and said, "get out of the way."

With a brush sound, the refugees made way of the passage. The first two people winked at the back of zero, and the three left calmly. When they got out of the crowd, the refugees poured into the cave, competing for barbecue and even wrestling together. At this time, no one looked at Luce's body.

Passing by the two children, zero squatted down. The boy retreated in fear, but still stubbornly protected the girl behind. He trembled and said, "Sir, I called. Please let go of my sister."

"What's your name?"

"Ender."

"Ender, you're smart, but you used it in the wrong place." zero put a bag of things wrapped in fragments of his cloak in front of his eyes: "remember, to live, you must first learn to control. Whether it's food or your ambition. Now, take this thing and leave. I don't think you want those people inside to see these things."

Pat Ender on the head. Three people go away. Ender opened Bree's things a little. It was four or five pieces of barbecue. He quickly and carefully put it away, and then pulled the girl away from the cave occupied by the refugees.

Not long after the zero three and the two children left, a team quietly touched the vicinity of the cave. At this time, some of the refugees in the cave had been lying nearby to rest, while others were still carefully scraping the ointment on the roast stone and sucking it in their mouths. So when a group of fully armed soldiers appeared at the entrance of the cave, the refugees couldn't even react.

Several gunshots came from the direction of the cave, looked back, frowned and said, "that's the sound of new weapons."

"Are they from the Parliament?" Feng wondered, "what are they doing?"

"Who knows, go back and have a look."

By the time they returned to the cave, the parliamentary soldiers and most of the refugees had disappeared. In the cave, there was only a thin and short refugee with only one leg huddled in the corner. He held his head tightly until he pulled down his hand. He didn't know that the soldier had left.

"What happened?" zero asked.

"Caught! They caught all the people, those demons." the thin man was incoherent.

It was not until a few minutes later that his mood calmed down. His name is Willie. He once broke his leg by a dead wolf. He once cursed such a fate, but today, he was saved because he lacked a leg.

"Since the autumn, they have been catching people everywhere. Yes, the soldiers of the dark Parliament." Willie said bitterly, "at that time, the war had not spread to our settlements, but they had been heard to arrest young men in some towns or villages."

"Catch people?" zero frowned.

"Yes, sir, after they captured people, they heard that they threw them into the factory to be coolies. It's good to be coolies. It's a little bitter, and at least they can survive. Some unlucky people were thrown into the army. Each of them was given a broken gun to let them go to the battlefield. They are not soldiers, let alone soldiers, just to consume the cannon fodder of the enemy's ammunition!"

Willie hugged his head with both hands and said, "it's hell. Many settlements are dissolved early because of this. We all hide in the mountains or go further. But these demons still follow us. We'll all die, we'll all die! It's all this damn war!"

Maple and zero found a place to bury the body of fat Luce outside the cave. When they returned to the cave, Willie had fallen asleep. He huddled, his body trembling gently under a thin blanket. Looking at Willie is like looking at the silhouette of this era. War makes these people who are not easy to live even worse. However, in this era, the voice of most people is empty and powerless.

Only a small number of people are qualified to make their own voice in this era. The words of big people affect the fate of countless ordinary people. The impact of the war is even greater, and this situation will continue to be bad now that Proteus has been released from prison.

Damn war!

He made a small bonfire, leaned against the mountain wall and fell asleep with a heavy sword. Zero sum Maple didn't feel sleepy. Seeing that the spare dead branches pulled out the flame and made them burn more vigorously to expel the cold in the cave, maple said, "head, what do you think?"

"The parliament's arrest of people is nothing more than the act of opening up the wilderness in the Qing Dynasty, so as not to leave any effective power to the Yingling hall. However, this move is very excellent. It seems that oglock is ruthless. After all, doing this kind of thing is tantamount to pushing people into the arms of the enemy. At this time, asgat will use more gentle means, and they will almost stand on the other side of the Yingling hall." zero said.

Feng shook his head and said, "so it seems that oglock is not digging his own grave?"

"No, as long as asgat is beaten before that happens, he will still be the winner. At that time, the refugees in the wilderness can only choose to rely on their wings. But once this happens, it can only show that oglock wants to end the war as soon as possible. He should feel it, too."

"Protheus? It's a headache to think about it. At this time, our speaker will not stop." Feng scratched his head.

"He is an ambitious man, but anyone who has ambition is not easy to shake. Maybe it is good for him to bring down the hall of the spirit, even if he is killed by protheus the next moment."

Maple lost his voice and said, "what's the significance of such a victory?"

"It's meaningless to others, but for oglock, that's all of life." zero sighed and said, "Ben said that oglock was proving himself right all his life."
