Chapter 10 Hateful People in the Safe Zone

"What's going on..." he asked subconsciously.

Although that migrating group looked tired and exhausted, they were definitely not barbarians.

Because those people's clothes, although not gorgeous, are almost complete.
The exposed skin was covered with dust, but no dirt was visible.

Even their skin color is whiter than that of the barbarians.

From all aspects, it can be seen at a glance that this group of people are definitely not barbarian people.

Because among the barbarians, except for the successful evolvers, most of them wear straw sandals and tattered clothes.

Some of them were even shirtless, and their bodies were dark and dirty, as if they hadn't taken a bath in years.

In fact it is.

Even Yang Chen and Peng Min hadn't taken a bath in more than a year.

Even if it rains, if they can hide from the rain, they will find a way to prevent the rain from washing away their camouflage.

Because taking a bath is like that——

For the barbarians, one is a luxury, and the other is an act of removing disguise, which will give people a feeling of insecurity.

Especially for female barbarians, the dirt on their bodies can cover their figures and appearance, so as to avoid unnecessary disasters.

"do not know."

Peng Min said with a look of doubt: "It looks like a group of people migrating from a safe zone."

"The entire safe zone is migrating collectively..."

That was indeed the case, because those people also had camels pulling bales of supplies.

Plus the people walking in front were holding various types of guns——

Although it was only a team of a few thousand people, it put tremendous pressure on all the wasteland residents.

Yang Chen's expression was somewhat solemn: "That disaster rumor... could it be true?"

Mumbling, he took the nail gun from Peng Min: "Nothing happened while I was asleep, right?"

By this time, the sky was already bright and the sun had risen.

Judging from the height of the sun, he should have slept for two or three hours, but he was already full of energy.

Many scavenging teams nearby have left, probably to look for food.

"No."

Peng Min said: "By the way, I roasted all the wild wolf meat and dried it, so it can be preserved for a longer time."

Although it may be eaten within three days, the daytime temperature is very high and three days is enough for the meat to deteriorate.

Yang Chen nodded, picked up the water bag beside him and drank a sip of water, then put a piece of meat into his mouth. While chewing, he looked at the migrating team a few hundred meters away.

At this time, a young man in elegant clothes at the front of the team shouted excitedly: "We have finally reached the foot of Kunwu Mountain. I have been so tired in the past half month!"

Shouting, he suddenly grabbed an assault rifle from the guard next to him and excitedly fired at the people a hundred meters away.

"Da da da……"

Many unfortunate villagers were shot directly through the body by bullets, and their screams were continuous.

"Damn it!"

"How dare he..."

All the barbarians turned pale and fled for their lives in panic.

"not good!"

Yang Chen rushed to knock Peng Min down.

Even though he reacted quickly enough, he was still grazed on the arm by a bullet.

He was immediately furious, but the area was two or three hundred meters away from here, which was completely beyond his shooting range.

Moreover, if he dared to take action, he would definitely be greeted with a thunderous disaster.

"Da da da!!"

In the distance, the young man was firing excitedly, as if he was shooting animals. He became more and more excited as he watched the barbarians fleeing for their lives.

Finally, after he finished firing a magazine, he casually threw the assault rifle back into the guard's hands.

“Hahahaha…Great, so great!”

He laughed loudly, venting the frustration of traveling for some time.

The guard next to him couldn't help but remind him: "Master, there are also evolvers among the barren people, so it's better to be careful."

"A bunch of untouchables who live on garbage, do they dare to blame me?"

The young man sneered and didn't care at all.

Behind him, his elders were also smiling.

"Raccoons just love to make trouble." A beautiful woman dressed elegantly said with some blame.

"Let him make as much noise as he wants. He must be exhausted from holding it in for the past few months."

The middle-aged man next to him laughed and said, "They are a bunch of untouchables who grew up eating garbage. They are dirty from the inside out. It is a relief for them to die. Raccoon Dog can be considered to have helped them." "That's true."

The beautiful woman said, "Do we need to stop here? I heard that the mountainous area is very dangerous. We'd better prepare for a while."

"Okay, then let's find a place to station first and have someone go to the mountain area to investigate before making a decision."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The Kunwu Mountain is not a real mountainous area. It can only be regarded as a border zone. We still need to walk a long way to reach the real mountainous area."

The migrating team did not slow down and passed by Yang Chen and the others more than 300 meters away.

Only after the team went far away did Yang Chen stand up and look at the team with cold eyes.

The other wastelanders were the same. After standing up, they looked at the team with cold eyes, wishing they could rush up and tear them to pieces.

But no one has the courage, and most people don't have the ability.

"Are you hurt?" Peng Min got up and asked nervously.

Soon, she saw the wound on Yang Chen's left arm, and her expression suddenly changed.

"I am fine."

Yang Chen glanced at the wound on his left arm, and the newly created Qi in his body automatically gathered here, stopping the bleeding of this not-so-big wound.

This discovery made him secretly happy. It seemed that his ability was not so useless and the healing effect was beyond his expectations.

"It actually stopped the bleeding? How miraculous!"

Peng Min's face lit up: "Fortunately you became an evolver, otherwise it would be troublesome. We don't have any herbs now."

"Have you seen how hateful the safe zone is?"

At this time, the middle-aged man who had traded water last night came not far away.

As he looked at the migrating team going away, he said coldly: "Those guys never regarded us barren people as human beings."

He seemed to hate the people in the safe zone very much: "Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary wasteland dwellers, we are no longer ordinary wasteland dwellers, we are high above them, but in the eyes of the people in the safe zone, there is no difference between us, we are all untouchables who grew up eating garbage, and our existence is an eyesore."

Yang Chen did not respond.

"My name is Hu Zhou, what should I call you, my friend?" The bearded Hu Zhou spoke again.

"My name is Yang Chen."

Yang Chen asked: "Do you know any inside information about the disaster?"

"No, before today, I even thought that the so-called disaster was just a conspiracy of some big shots."

Hu Zhou said with a serious expression: "But now it seems that even the safe zone has been relocated. The truth... is really hard to say."

"Someone from the safe zone just happened to be here. Do you want to join forces and get some good stuff to trade?"

He looked at Yang Chen: "I think your ability should be more towards attack, and mine is more towards transportation. If we work together, we should be able to exchange for some good things."

"The safe zone you just passed by? Doing business with them?"

Yang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will swallow you?"

"That also takes time."

Hu Zhou explained: "They also need to live and eat. Do you believe it or not, after they settle down, they will take the initiative to trade with the outside world in a short time?"

Seeing that Yang Chen didn’t say anything, he continued: “When we traded in the past, at most we were squeezed a little, and the price was higher. They didn’t even dare to blatantly embezzle our things. Otherwise, if we, the barbarians, ignored them, they would run several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers to hunt. Those high-ranking people know how to live.”

At this point, he couldn't help but sneer again: "On the one hand, they hate us and want to clean us up, but on the other hand, they need us. What a ridiculous group of people."

"Let's wait until they actually start trading with other countries." Yang Chen said.

"Row."

Hu Zhou turned around and left. "It's not appropriate for deserters to hold grudges. Just now one of my men was killed by a stray bullet, but so what? If you don't have the ability to take revenge, just pretend that you don't have any grudges. When you have the ability, you can kill them."

Yang Chen took a look at Hu Zhou’s base, and sure enough, someone was digging a hole there, apparently to bury a body.

However, although those people buried the bodies, they did not erect a tombstone or anything. Instead, they stomped the ground hard and arranged it to be the same as the surrounding areas.

This was probably to avoid being dug out and eaten by starving villagers.

When Hu Zhou walked over, the dozen people followed him away.

Seeing more and more people leaving, Peng Min asked, "What should we do? Should we continue to rest here? We have enough food for now, and we are not used to going out during the day. Should we wait until night?"

Yang Chen glanced at the team that had already reached the safe zone 500 meters away: "Follow that group of people, stay away, we can look for the remains of the wild wolf at the same time."

"The remains of a wild wolf?"

Peng Min's heart moved: "It's the kind you need..."

Yang Chen nodded.

The two packed up their things and quickly followed.

They were not special, as most of the scavenging teams followed.

Even those who had been shot and injured by assault rifles before still followed secretly. As for what their purpose was, it was unknown.

Yang Chen stuffed a piece of barbecue into his mouth, and while continuing to strengthen his nail gun, he was thinking about what he should trade if he really traded with that safe zone.
