Chapter 6: A Way to Survive
“Crash!”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chains being dragged.
The grim look on the woman's face suddenly turned into a look of fear.
It’s really coming!
Jiang Zhou saw many figures rushing towards him from all directions.
He was delighted and also caught the woman's momentary daze.
"Eat your uncle!"
He suddenly threw the tile in his hand at the woman, turned around and dived into the crowd of refugees like a loach.
The "meat paste" covered the woman's face and slowly slid down, revealing her gloomy face.
The river boat, trying to take advantage of the troubled waters, slipped into the crowd of refugees like a slippery fish.
He did not wait for the woman's revenge, he guessed right.
Red iron chains flew in from all directions, crisscrossing the sky, instantly weaving a huge net.
It almost covered half of Shanyin County.
"demon!"
"You have violated the laws of the Great Ji and massacred people in Shanyin. Why don't you bow your head and wait for death? When will you do that?"
"Suppress the demons and pacify them! Lock the demons with the Heavenly Net!"
Jiang Zhou only heard the people coming here shouting in unison, with such might that it shook the heavens, and he was overjoyed.
It is indeed Su Jingsi!
Jiang Zhou saw the woman in the crowd. Her expression changed drastically. Her skin and flesh suddenly twisted and no longer looked human. It actually broke apart and a skeleton came out from inside.
He followed his example and dived into the crowd of refugees, disappearing in an instant.
Many people wearing black half-chain mail rushed in from all directions and surrounded the terrified refugees.
"ah!"
"Don't move!"
Screams and shouts woke Jiang Zhou up.
The terrified refugees, ignoring Su Jingsi's obstruction, fled in all directions and crashed into the enemy's formation.
The men from the Sujing Division swung their swords and chopped off the heads of dozens of fleeing refugees in an instant, which frightened the people present and no one dared to flee again.
There was a head rolling under Jiang Zhou's feet, which scared him so much that his face turned pale.
"The Daji Sujingsi is here, don't move!"
A demon patrol guard wearing half chain mail shouted loudly, intimidating the refugees, and walked up to a person who looked like a leader.
He is Shi Feng, the commander of the Wujun Sujing Division.
"Captain, that ghost can eat human spirits, leaving behind a layer of flesh and blood as a skin, hiding inside it and manipulating it like a puppet, no different from a living person. There are countless refugees here, so it's hard to find it."
A man with a cold face beside Shi Feng sneered and said , "How difficult is this? That ghost has the ability to control corpses and spread epidemics. Wherever it passes, there will be evil plague."
"These refugees have eaten human flesh that has been infected with evil spirits and plague. They are beyond saving. If we let them go, they will spread the evil plague to other places. Captain, it is better to execute them all on the spot and burn them on the spot to prevent future troubles!"
"Even the governor knows that there is no help for this and will not blame me."
They spoke without avoiding people, and seemed not to be afraid of riots or rebellion by the refugees.
Jiang Zhou felt a chill in his heart.
He was not far away and could hear it clearly among the crowd.
This is like escaping from a tiger's den, and falling into a pit again, only to find a group of wolves in the pit...
It turned out that Jiang Zhou really had some ideas in mind. He really met Su Jingsi that the witch mentioned, and wanted to see if he could sell her out.
Otherwise she would come to my door in three months.
But now... can we really rely on such a Su Jingsi?
At this time, Jiang Zhou heard someone from the Sujing Division retort: "These are all my Daji people, innocent people, how can we kill them indiscriminately?"
The man with a cold face said disdainfully: "Innocent? They ate human flesh and still dare to call themselves innocent? The only thing to blame is their greed!"
The man said angrily, "These people are naked and hungry. It is obvious that they cannot survive. They just come here to ask for a mouthful of porridge to survive. How can they be greedy?"
The man with a cold face sneered and said, "Okay, if you don't want to kill them, then tell me what to do with them? Let them go and spread the evil plague everywhere? Or take them all back to the Sujing Division, and feed thousands of mouths for you to feed?"
The person who opposed it paused: "This..."
The other party ignored him and clasped his fists towards Shi Feng, saying, "Captain, I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
The person who had opposed just now also fell silent.
Because he knew that the Sujing Division would never dare to release these refugees. As long as one of them was carrying the evil plague, it would be a disaster.
It is even more impossible to support these refugees.
"Have you decided? Don't argue anymore?"
Shi Feng spoke calmly, causing the two people who had just been arguing to tremble in fear and bow their heads.
Then he changed the subject: "What you said makes sense, so... just kill him."
In the crowd, Jiang Zhou heard the other party's faint words decide the life and death of thousands of people.
It seems that these are not thousands of people, but thousands of chickens.
It completely shattered some of his fantasies and made him face the reality.
The whole person felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and was chilled to the bone.
Human life is worthless, it really is worthless.
Shi Feng then said, "However, a lot of knife bearers in our Wujun Sujing Division have died recently, so it's time to replenish them. Let's pick some from among them and fill in as knife bearers."
"There should still be some people who haven't eaten the 'meat'. Pick out the young and strong ones, limit them to a hundred people, and deal with the rest."
"Captain, be merciful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his demon patrol guards began to praise him.
But in fact, they all understood that the fate of these refugees would be the same whether they could stay or not. The only difference was whether they would die earlier or later.
Being a knife wielder is not an easy job.
Shi Feng's authority was extremely great. As soon as he opened his mouth, the patrolling demon guards quickly took action and dragged out the refugees one by one.
Unfortunately, the thin Jiang Zhou was one of the people who were dragged out.
Jiang Zhou looked pale.
He must find a way to save himself.
correct.
I just heard them say that this ghost can manipulate human skin like a living creature and disguise itself as someone else.
There are thousands of refugees here now. Even if the Sujing Division is fully prepared, it will definitely take some effort to catch them.
And he has the ability granted by the Ghost and God Atlas, which allows him to easily see through the disguise of ghosts.
If he helps them find that evil ghost, he will still have a chance to survive!
Yes, no wonder the witch was so happy when she said he was “born with spiritual eyes”.
Because she had long known that "Natural Spiritual Eyes" would be useful to Su Jingsi.
Right before your eyes.
Even knew what was about to happen here.
She had already calculated it.
He didn't even have time to grit his teeth at the female demon.
Jiang Zhou just wanted to survive first.
This was his chance to survive.
Su Jingsi has set up a large demon-locking formation. With such a large formation, he must be well prepared. It is only a matter of time before finding the ghost.
Even if we can't find them, it would be the same to kill all the refugees as they said.
But for Jiang Zhou, it doesn’t matter whether Su Jingsi can find the ghost. What matters is that this is an opportunity for him to show his value.
He believed that even if Su Jingsi was absolutely sure, he would not mind using a method that saves time and effort.
Since even these refugees have the opportunity to become so-called knife-wielders, there is no reason why someone who is more valuable to them cannot do the same!
As long as he can find the ghost before Su Jingsi, he will stand out and have a greater chance of surviving than others.
Jiang Zhou's mind raced as he realized that a demon patrol guard had grabbed his neck and dragged him out of the crowd roughly.
The selected refugees were gathered together and prepared for execution.
Jiang Zhou's face was extremely pale.
With more than a dozen heads still vividly in his mind, he didn't think the other party would be merciful.
