Holding an oil-paper umbrella and carrying a small package, Wu Tie walked slowly through the messy refugee camp.
There are wooden sheds and straw sheds built haphazardly everywhere, with limited materials. Many sheds are just four thin pillars holding up a broken roof, which can barely accommodate people.
It was raining moderately outside, and there was water dripping inside the shed.
The streets were muddy and the sheds were filled with mud and water.
The grassroots officials in Shanfeng City still have some ability. They built large centralized toilets in the refugee camps. Therefore, although the refugee camps are full of muddy water, the muddy water is at least clean and does not accumulate unbearable filth.
Many refugees who had just entered the city stood there blankly, or walked around in confusion.
Those refugees who had already set up sheds and had a place to stay were like wounded beasts, staring at these newcomers vigilantly and fiercely.
There are also some strong young men carrying sticks who form groups to guard the edges of certain areas and strictly prohibit others from approaching.
There are newly arrived restless refugees who are already in conflict with the previous refugees.
The muffled sounds of sticks and bricks hitting the body, as well as low cries and hoarse curses, sounded from all directions. Occasionally, there are intermittent cries and coughs of babies, cries of women, and long and short sighs of old people.
"This damn world..." Wu Tie walked past a simple wooden shed. In the shed, on a wooden frame more than a foot above the ground, a gray-haired old man was sitting on it, muttering in a low voice as if he was dreaming. With.
"We just want to have a peaceful life..."
'Ding ding ding', the crisp sound of copper bells came from the sky, and hundreds of small flying boats more than ten feet long flew slowly over from low altitude.
On the flying boat stood officials in green clothes and hats. They picked up huge lotus leaf parcels with expressionless faces and dropped them from the air. On the ground, men, women, old and young all went to grab these lotus leaf bags.
Soldiers with declining aura stood on the flying boat, holding spears and yelling at the refugees on the ground.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, everyone has it."
"There are two nests for the young and the strong, and the women, the elderly, and the children are all one... Don't take too much, don't occupy too much, and don't keep it privately... Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Everyone has it, don't rob it, don't mess around... Look at the old and young people around you, it's so easy to escape here, don't be trampled to death, that would be an injustice."
A stout man who had just entered the city grabbed a lotus leaf bag and took out two thick-wheat steamed buns the size of a sea bowl.
He looked at the grey-colored woofou in his hand that was obviously mixed with a lot of bran, and shouted to the sky in annoyance: "Is this just for feeding animals?"
A flying boat stopped immediately. An old soldier with a missing palm on the bow pointed at the man and sneered: "Looking at your tall and powerful appearance, what kind of cultivation are you?"
The big man was stunned and said angrily: "How about the late stage of Life Pond Realm?"
The old pawn laughed, took out a fist-sized piece of dried meat from his breast pocket, and threw it down casually: "Late stage of Life Pond Realm? Hey, not bad... I want to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and I want to eat and drink enough. Come to the military camp to play mother-in-law."
The thumb of the remaining hand pointed towards his nose, and the old soldier said solemnly: "Shanfeng City is willing to give out rice and noodles to feed you idlers. It is already a favor of Prince Le... Want more? Come here? Join the army and fight the devil bastards!"
"If you have the guts, come and join the army. A devil's head is worth 10,000 spiritual crystals. It belongs to a man. He can fight for his future with real swords and guns. Are you feeling aggrieved here with a group of old women and old men chewing cornbread?" "
The thick man was stunned. He suddenly opened his mouth, stuffed the piece of dried meat into his mouth and chewed it.
He casually stuffed the two bowl-sized wowotou in his hand into the arms of an old man next to him. The sturdy man roared: "Just go, what are you afraid of? I've also died once... Hey, hey, hey, The whole family is dead, I and the devil will fight with all their might!"
"Brothers who have a grudge against the devil, fight with all your might, fight with all your strength!"
The stout man's eyes were slightly red, and he ran crazily towards a small wooden building that was built quite firmly in the distance.
There was a flagpole in front of the wooden building. The flag was soaked by the rain and was trembling feebly in the wind.
On the flag, the three characters "Recruiting Department" were written in black ink.
There are more than a hundred such recruitment buildings in the huge refugee camp.
As those flying boats flew by, the soldiers on the flying boats roared and yelled loudly, and new refugee men who entered the city continued to trot towards the recruitment office.
But it is obvious that all the men who go to the recruitment office are single and young.
Wu Tie noticed that some of the men who were burdened by their families were also interested. Just as he glanced in the direction of the recruiting office, there were cries of women and children around him, which forcibly removed the gleam of fire that had just sprouted in their eyes. The fight became dim.
Wu Tie shook his head, looking at the refugees around him and thinking to himself.
The situation in the Fufeng Divine Dynasty was probably extremely bad, forcing them all to come up with a poisonous plan to divert disaster to the east, hoping to lure the army of the Supreme Demon Kingdom to the Wu Kingdom.
This is a national war.
And the enemies are not normal people, but a group of twisted and cruel demons.
In the end, these refugees will most likely be sent to the battlefield. As the little official at the city gate said, there is a huge difference between the treatment of those who actively join the army and those who are passively recruited.
Feeling the uneasy and chaotic atmosphere of these refugees, Wu Tie couldn't help but feel pity.
These men, women, old and young are all the same human race and people as the people of his Wu Kingdom. They may be smart or stupid, they may be enlightened, they may be indifferent, they may be diligent, they may be lazy, they may be kind, they may be vicious...
They are all ordinary people.
What the gray-haired old man just said was right, they just want a peaceful life.
But this world does not give them a peaceful life.
No, it's not this world that has a problem, but the so-called 'gods' above this world that have a problem.
The human heart of the world is generally not bad.
The bad ones are those 'gods'!
In the distance, a blue ship shadow appeared on the horizon. When Wu Tie was looking at it from a distance, the fleet coming from the south had already arrived outside Shanfeng City.
In Shanfeng City, a large group of soldiers rose into the sky and faced the fleet.
Hundreds of miles away, Wu Tie still clearly heard the cheers of the soldiers. Wu Tie released a touch of spiritual power to invade those ships and found that these large transport ships were filled with food, baggage, and various medicinal materials.
However, there were very few additional troops. Such a huge fleet composed of hundreds of large transport ships only brought a mere less than 500,000 soldiers.
Moreover, these soldiers all had stiff faces and floating auras. They were obviously new recruits who had just been trained.
Among them, the ones with the highest cultivation level are only in the Life Pond Realm, and the ones with the lowest cultivation level are even thousands of people in the third and fifth levels of the Chonglou Realm.
Wu Tie suddenly realized that the war potential of the Fufeng Dynasty was probably almost reached.
