Chapter 698: On the Run 4

a path for everyone so they could retreat faster.After Eagle Wing took everyone onto the vehicle, they immediately drove out of the radiation range of the skyscraper explosion before stopping. Sun Yi...Zhang Lao heard Lian Yi's words, his brows furrowed. He also lowered his voice and said:

"Is there a large number of people Can we handle it If we can't, don't fight head-on. Let's speed up and run first, then talk about it."

There were five people following us the whole time, and we don't know if there are more behind them. So it's best if we speed up and put some distance between us. If those five dare to attack us, I can take them down with my father and uncles.

I still have a grasp on this point of ripples.

Okay, let's hit the road first.

Then Lao Zhang shouted again, and as everyone took turns eating, their pace didn't slow down much.

The ripples let Hui'nia and Huzi eat on the cart first, then she pushed Song Dachuan to eat. Finally, she ate a little at random.

A group of people hurried along, finally reaching a dilapidated village nestled in a mountain hollow just before sunset. The village was in ruins, clearly having been ransacked. There wasn't a single soul to be seen, making it look like a ghost town.

"Tonight we'll stay here for a while. The second brother and Dachao will go find a house with a courtyard, preferably one big enough for all of us twenty-some."

Old Zhang turned his head and instructed.

Zhang Jun and Song Dachuan, each carrying a self-defense weapon in their hands, entered the village from the entrance, starting to search house by house. The rest of the people pushed the cart behind them slowly and also entered the village.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Song Dachuan returned and said to Old Zhang:

"Father, the courtyard of the village head is still well-preserved and livable."

"Come on, everyone, let's go."

Four carts sped up and entered the center of the village. By this time, Zhang Jun had already gone in through the open gate, carefully opening each slightly ajar door and checking them one by one. After finding nothing unusual, he let everyone enter.

Having a place to stay was definitely better than sleeping anxiously out in the wild. Everyone immediately started cleaning up the dusty house and then built a fire to cook.

Lunch was simple, and everyone was back to work after that. Now they were all hungry and needed to refuel. It wasn't even half an hour before dinner was served - noodles in soup with roasted potatoes.

Yuanbao had finished his milk and was leaning against Liu's arms, falling asleep. Liu had finished her confinement meal and wanted to wash the dishes, but Lao Zhang stopped her.

"The road conditions are limited, so you'd better take good care of your confinement period. Don't worry about the rest."

Although the Lius were all sitting in the car, they were still terrified. Now that they were safe, they hugged Yuánbǎo and fell asleep.

Everyone was gathered in the largest main room. The women were sleeping in the inner rooms, the men in the outer rooms, and two adults and a child were keeping watch in the yard.

After settling everything, everyone quickly fell asleep. They had only walked ten kilometers that day and had to be on guard against the refugees, so their spirits were highly tense. As soon as their heads touched the pillows, they fell asleep.

Not until the flames in the fire dwindled did several shadowy figures clamber over the wall and approach the fire. One of them reached into his bosom and pulled out a package, ready to toss it into the flames.

"Slap!" "Ouch!"

Two sounds rang out at the same time. The next moment, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Shi, who were pretending to be asleep with their eyes closed, leaped up. Zhang Zhong and Zhang Jun in the house also jumped out. Four torches were lit in the courtyard, illuminating the entire small yard.

Four Zhang brothers, who should have been asleep, glared angrily at the person lying beaten on the ground. Another four people who had sneaked in were surrounded by them in the middle.

Ripple then picked up the things he had knocked to the ground, sniffed them with his nose and said:

"This is poison!"

"Humph! What do you intend to do after enchanting us"

Zhang Zhong asked coldly.

"My lords, we're desperate and have no other way. We just want to get some food from you. We won't hurt anyone, just knock you out to steal your grain. Please, gentlemen, spare us!"

The person who had been knocked to the ground knew the power of ripples and immediately caved.

Zhang Laotou also walked out of the house at this time, followed by his two grandsons. His face was very ugly. Although none of these people came up shouting and fighting, he found it even more hateful.

"Humph! You don't look like you've been starving for long."

The ripples directly exposed these five people.

One person took a step back, seeming to try and break free from the encirclement of the Zhang brothers. Ripples wouldn't allow this person a chance to escape and call for backup, so she directly launched the staff in her hand.

The man, seeing the flying stick, flashed a fierce look in his eyes. He wanted to turn and run, but he overestimated his speed. He was pierced through the shoulder blade by the stick and nailed directly onto the earthen wall.

"Ah!"

Screams pierced the night, causing the remaining few to shiver.

"Ripple!"

Song Dachuan said in disapproval, he felt his daughter was too ruthless.

Ripples shook his head and said to Zhang Shi:

"Little uncle, you open up his clothes and see if he's a starving refugee."

Zhang Shi didn't hesitate. He ran over and ripped open the other person's pudding jacket, revealing the muscles beneath. This was not the physique of a disaster victim.

"Father, elder brother, look!"

Zhang Shi immediately reacted, this person didn't look like a starving refugee with green eyes at all.

At this time, the other four people who were surrounded looked at each other and scattered in four directions.

When Zhang brothers saw this, they both instinctively went to intercept. Lian Yi's reaction was also quick, she directly said to Song Dachuan:

"Father, you must protect Grandpa and my several younger brothers."

Then he took a single step, pulled the stick out of the wall, and with a swift hand chop, knocked the injured brute unconscious.

At this time, the four uncles each stopped one person, and both sides started fighting. Two of them took out daggers from their bodies, clearly having been provoked to violence.

"My dear uncles, please don't be soft-hearted. If these people escape, they will certainly attract more people to chase us."

Ripple said, "pop pop," as he used his stick to knock the daggers from their hands and break both of their wrists.

After hearing Ripple's words, the four of them didn't dare to hold back. With Ripple's cooperation, they punched a few times and knocked the person to the ground, then bound the wailing four.

Zhangjia's four brothers also rolled themselves in dirt. After throwing the five people next to the bonfire, they finally looked at Lao Zhangtou:

"Dad, what should we do"

Old Zhang hadn't opened his mouth yet when Lian Ri spoke first.

Kill him!

"Whew!" This time even Lao Zhang was startled. In his view, these people hadn't succeeded and weren't deserving of the death penalty.

R ripples at this time will stand the stick on the ground, faintly said:

"These few people have been staring at us all day. I noticed their eyes on the young children were not right, especially Zhuanzi from my third uncle's family, Yuanbao from my fourth uncle's family, and Huzi from my own family. The way they looked at the children was like they were looking at food."

Besides their ability to build muscle in famine years, what else can you think of

When I was working for the Dong family, Second Miss Dong once told me a story. She said that in some places, human flesh is called "two-legged sheep"!

Now everyone's face turned green.

"Ripples, could it be that you've guessed wrong!" Xiaoyu, but there was no answer. I took a candle and went over myself, and then I saw that they were both lying on the ground, lifeless. That's when I ran out to call for help."Although Tiger was stu...
