Half an hour later, Li Jiayu and others finally caught up with the main force, and the more than 5,000 teachers and students of Xijiang University deliberately slowed down their pace and stayed behind the fleeing troops. Apparently they were waiting for Li Jiayu to return.
By this time, it was already clear to everyone that the end of the world had really come, and everything was irreversible.
The insect swarm has stood at the top of the earth's biological chain. Humans will be slaughtered and devoured by them like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
Even the air is full of dangerous atmosphere, which makes people's hair stand on end. Every time the cold wind blows, people will feel a chill slowly creeping up their backs, as if sticky water snakes are climbing up their backs against their skin. .
Not just ordinary people, but also the teachers and students of Xijiang University. When they turned around and looked at Xijiang City surrounded by black fog and insect swarms, their hearts almost stopped without exception, as if they were struck by a huge stone. It pressed heavily on my throat and chest. Not to mention surprised, I couldn't even breathe.
At this moment, the students of Xijiang University become more and more dependent on Li Jiayu. They feel that only by following Li Jiayu can they feel at ease.
Li Jiayu is their tranquilizer and their talisman.
"Fortunately, you are finally back."
Seeing Li Jiayu and Ran Hongxia rushing back to the team, Xiao Wanqing, who had been worried for a long time, went up to meet them and happily took Ran Hongxia's hand.
"Don't stay here for long, run away quickly"
Li Jiayu said hello, but the students of Xijiang University didn't waste any time. They all speeded up their journey and followed the large army in front of them as they drove quickly.
At this time, people only have one thought in their minds, and that is to get away from Xijiang City as quickly as possible, and never let those overwhelming insects catch up.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it is estimated that it is only half past four in the afternoon, but the black clouds in the sky are changing rapidly, and they are surging like crazy waves. They are like martial arts monsters, monsters, and beasts, running fiercely in all kinds of strange ways. The scene is extremely strange.
"Boom"
There was another flat thunder, and a blue-purple lightning illuminated the eerie wilderness.
This sound of thunder was like a heavy hammer, making all those who were on the way feel a heavy tremor in their hearts.
"It's raining"
"This rain is so cold..."
When the strong wind blows, raindrops as big as soybeans fall from the sky, dancing like broken pearls. One by one they fall on the face, turning into crystal water droplets and sliding over the neck. It is so cold that it makes people panic.
The crowd panicked again. Those with rain gear quickly stopped and took out their rain gear. Those without rain gear could only bite the bullet and soak in the rain. However, in this cold weather and in this bad mood, it was so difficult to get wet in the rain. You can imagine how uncomfortable this feeling is.
Fortunately, the large troops were still walking on the first-class national highway. Although the national highway was cracked in all directions due to the earthquake, it was at least flat and not muddy, so it was not difficult to walk. However, the citizens riding bicycles had some troubles and sometimes had to walk. You have to carry your bicycle to cross large cracks on the road. Some people accidentally fell into the cracks and immediately suffered head injuries and bloodshed. It took them a long time to climb out.
"It's going to rain at this time..."
Li Jiayu raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky with some confusion. In his impression, the rain should have fallen only at night, but now it has come three hours earlier.
He put on a blue raincoat. Even though there was a waterproof hood covering his head, the big raindrops still wet his hair. The bangs on his forehead were messy. When his feet stepped on the wet ground, a drop of water splashed up. A water flower.
"Heavy rain will slow down the team's journey. I don't know if we can walk to the hot spring villa before the sky turns completely dark..."
Li Jiayu had a bad premonition in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but he just felt very uneasy. Something terrible might happen beyond his expectation.
In the heavy rain, the crowds were struggling to move forward. You can definitely imagine what a spectacular scene it was for 600,000 citizens to walk in groups on a national highway with cracks everywhere. Looking up, everything around them was The crowd was densely packed and dark.
There are all kinds of colorful umbrellas, raincoats, and all kinds of clothes that almost make your eyes dizzy. There are so many people here. You can see all kinds of people in each team, including teachers, white-collar workers, migrant workers, students, doctors, gangsters, and hanging people. Silk, black fungus, ladyboys, sex workers, without exception, they gather around you.
Sometimes, there will be extremely chaotic scenes in the escape team. Some bullies can't stand the rain, so they snatch other people's rain gear, which triggers rounds of conflicts and even causes the teams behind to be affected and leave. Slower.
There were shouts and shouts everywhere. Some were shouting names. It was obvious that their loved ones had been lost in the chaotic crowd. Some were cursing loudly. It was obvious that food, clothing, and rain gear had been taken away. All they could do was blame others, even some mentally fragile girls. Unable to walk, they sat on the roadside crying stupidly, but except for their relatives, no passers-by came forward to ask.
If someone accidentally falls and doesn't get up in time, he or she will most likely be stepped on by the crowd behind him a few times or even dozens of times, because people's nerves at this time are quite fragile and sensitive, and they really don't care. What did you step on
Sometimes you can even see corpses on the way. They were obviously beaten to death due to conflicts. The murderers have long since left. Passers-by are just walking in a hurry. Apart from looking at them indifferently, what else can they do? Use your precious escape time to bury the body, right
The speed of the 600,000 citizens was extremely fast, and the crowd was also motivated by panic. They walked six or seven kilometers in one hour, but the army was faster. They were already 20 kilometers away from Xijiang City and arrived early. Hot spring villa.
At half past five, scattered bugs appeared at the front of the citizen team. The number was not large, only thirty or forty amoebas, seven or eight flying dragon lice, and a few second- and intermediate-level bugs. .
The citizens at the front of the team panicked and burst out into bursts of cries and screams. Fortunately, there were a considerable number of inheritors in the team. There were more than a hundred Yang Soul inheritors and a dozen Yin Soul inheritors who came forward. After more than thirty casualties, the bug was finally killed.
However, more than a hundred citizens in front of them also died. The rain could not wash away the blood on the ground at all. Panic spread uncontrollably. The citizens were originally extremely sensitive and fragile, but now they encountered insects that appeared out of nowhere on the way. My legs are going weak
After much difficulty and more than an hour, the citizens rushed to the hot spring villa gathering place in embarrassment.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, leaving only the strange dark purple thunderclouds emitting a strange shimmer. Although it could not be said that they were blind, it was so dark that ordinary people could not see anything ten meters away.
The hot spring villa is actually very small. The good housing has been occupied by the army and distributed to senior officials and combatants. Even the soldiers are not qualified to live in it. They have to camp on the cement ground outside the villa and set up tents. The feeling of setting up a tent for the night in such a dark, cold, and rainy night is much worse than camping.
The 600,000 citizens had no choice. They could only stay helplessly outside the hot spring villa in the dark night, hiding in panic under the shade of the dense trees, or setting up tents, choking on the bitter water, and trying to relieve themselves. Open your backpack and take out tonight's dinner.
There is no doubt that this night will be the most unbearable first night for the citizens.
Xijiang University also occupied an open space early and set up many tents. Li Jiayu and Dark Octopus were having a conversation in the tents.
"Hey, octopus, do you know what this fruit is?"
Li Jiayu took out the "Cucumber" Devil Fruit from his backpack, reached it in front of the dark octopus, made shaky gestures, and asked with some distress.
