Lu Ye woke up before dawn. He felt a faint growl in his stomach and occasional twitching sensations there, desperately reminding him to find food to fill his stomach.
Lu Ye sighed but did not get up. At this moment, he was in a tent where more than thirty people were crowded. The air was filled with all kinds of unbearable smells, and the ground exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
This is completely different from Lu Ye’s situation in Hell Castle.
When he was in Hell Castle, he had a two-story house with a housekeeper and two servants to take care of his daily life. Whenever he returned home tired from the laboratory, he could soak in a bathtub with just the right temperature, and after his fatigue was relieved, he could enjoy nutritious and delicious food and taste mellow wine.
Then I lay down on the big bed that could accommodate three people, and fell asleep under the soft and clean quilt.
However, all of this has completely disappeared and been completely shattered.
He still remembered that day when he followed the crowd out of the fortress and followed the convoy into the ancient battlefield. Their convoy was attacked by the black people, but two members from the Golden Court rescued them.
Lu Ye's mood was very complicated at the time. After all, the imaginary enemy of Hell Castle was the Golden Council, and Lu Ye was also prepared to confront this world organization one day.
But he didn't expect that this day had not yet arrived, and he was rescued by the Golden Court.
Next, he came to the Fortress of the God of War, which was the closest to the Fortress of Hell. Lu Ye, like other refugees, temporarily stayed in the Fortress of the God of War.
The War God Castle built a camp for them and arranged their daily life, but due to limited conditions and resources, even someone like Lu Ye who held a high position in the Hell Castle now had to squeeze together with civilians and soldiers.
Of course, he knew very well that if he was willing to show his talents and join the Castle of War, he should be able to get better conditions.
But Lu Ye did not do so. He knew that if he joined the War God Castle, it would be tantamount to abandoning the beliefs he had always held. He still could not forget the fall of the Black Star Castle, and could not come to terms with the fact that his teacher was buried in the flames.
He still hated the Skyforge, and even though he had fallen to this point, he was unwilling to give up.
But there is nothing they can do if they continue to stay in the War God Castle. Lu Ye has received news these days that the War God Castle, under the instruction of the Golden Court, is preparing to send the refugees from the Hell Castle to other fortresses in batches to reduce the burden on the War God Castle.
Lu Ye didn't know where he would go, but that was not the future he wanted. He knew that Hell Castle was over, but he still had other places to go.
Shadowless organization!
When he was in Hell Castle, he met the 'Shadowless General' who had assisted the city lord in Black Star Castle. He also knew that this general was actually a member of the 'Shadowless Organization's' twelve branches and was also a mechanical clone used by the organization's leader 'Midnight'.
The members of Wuying were secretly lurking in various places, and they had personnel in many fortresses. Because they had 'worked together' in Black Star Fortress before, the 'Wuying General' who appeared in Hell Fortress at that time gave Lu Ye several lists.
Those are several liaison officers hidden in several fortresses in the Western Continent. If we find them, we can contact "General Wuying" and find a place to stay.
Now what organization can
The one who can fight against the Golden Council and take revenge on Skyfort must be 'Shadowless'!
Lu Ye endured the torture of hunger and waited patiently for dawn. Today he had a chance to leave the camp, and he wanted to make good use of it.
Despite the refugees, Ares Castle did not relax its vigilance against these refugees because they came from Hell Castle and because of the war that Hell Castle started in Central China.
In addition to not being allowed to leave the camp without permission, everyone's weapons were confiscated, and even sharp metal objects were not allowed to be carried on the person. This of course made the refugees in Hell Castle dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had no choice but to endure it.
But as time went on, this dissatisfaction gradually fermented, and when local residents spoke ill of the refugee camps out of hatred and for various reasons, this dissatisfaction finally erupted, and a series of conflicts occurred not long ago.
Although the conflict has been suppressed and the local residents who provoked the conflict have been punished, the discontent in the refugee camps has not disappeared. As long as there is an opportunity, it will still erupt.
Through observation over the past few days, Lu Ye knew how he should use this latent emotion to help himself escape from the camp.
Finally, it was 6 o'clock in the morning and people in the tents woke up one after another.
Lu Ye sat up, quietly packed his belongings, and then walked out of the tent like other refugees. Under the supervision of fully armed Ares Castle soldiers, he washed himself near the public sink.
After returning the toothbrushes, face towels and other items to their original places, they all went to the dining area. There was a long queue in the dining area. After finally waiting for Lu Ye, the expressionless waiter threw two pieces of bread on his plate, put down a glass of milk, picked up a piece of smoked meat that was so thin that it was almost transparent, and waved his hand and said, "Next."
Lu Ye deliberately asked: "Can you give me another piece of meat?"
"What do you think?" The waiter responded with a sneer.
Lu Ye lowered his head half pretending and half sincerely, showing a helpless expression, and found a chair to sit down.
Soon several refugees sat down beside him. One of them sighed and said, "Without the protection of the fortress, we are like wild dogs. If people are in a good mood, they will throw you an extra piece of bread. If they are in a bad mood, they will sneer at you or even beat you with sticks."
The man patted Lu Ye on the shoulder: "It's okay, brother, everything will be fine."
Lu Ye glanced at him, silently put the smoked meat in the bread, took it up and took a bite, saying: "I know we are not qualified to ask for anything, but we are also human beings. It is not difficult for them to treat us like wild dogs."
A short-haired man across the table snorted and said, "If it weren't for the fall of the Clave Gate and the Black People rushing into the fortress, how could we have gotten through this. Maybe after we finish the war in the East Continent and win, we will start attacking other fortresses, like this Ares Fort. If we want to take them down, it will be easy."
"By then, I don't know who will be the one to show disdain to whom."
At this time, a soldier from the Ares Castle passed by and said, "What are you talking about? Eat your food quickly and return to your tent after eating!"
The short-haired man immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Can't we speak? We are refugees, not prisoners. Besides, prisoners also have corresponding rights!"
"You can't treat us like wild dogs!"
He stood up suddenly.
The soldier immediately pointed his gun at the short-haired man and said, "Sit down! I order you to sit down immediately!"
"Orders?" the short-haired man roared, "Why should I listen to your orders? I've had enough. What kind of life have I been living these days? Come on, shoot me, kill me if you have the guts!"
The quarrel attracted the attention of other soldiers. Several soldiers from the Ares Castle ran over, pointed their guns at Lu Ye's table and shouted, "What are you doing? Sit down, either continue eating or go back to the tent!"
Lu Ye gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Sir, we demand corresponding respect and rights."
His words immediately resonated with everyone, many refugees nodded, and some soldiers stood up one after another, looking at the soldiers of the War God Castle.
Sensing that something was wrong, one of the soldiers picked up the communicator and began to contact the camp command room.
"Command room, command room, this is the third dining area, there are refugees causing trouble here."
Seeing this, Lu Ye pointed at the soldier and said, "You are talking nonsense. This is a normal request of ours. How did it become a riot?"
A soldier beside him impatiently pressed Lu Ye's shoulder and shouted, "I order you to sit down, do you hear me?"
After saying that, he kicked Lu Ye and pushed him to the ground.
"Damn it, do you still consider us human?" The short-haired Hell Castle soldier finally couldn't help but roared. He turned around, knocked down a Ares Castle soldier, and snatched the weapon from his hand.
Chaos broke out all of a sudden!
The other refugees in the dining area, especially the soldiers from Hell Castle, roared and rushed over to the soldiers from Ares Castle. The latter first fired at the top of the tent, and when they saw that they could not stop it, they shot at the refugees' legs.
Suddenly, the dining area was in chaos. Some people rushed out, while others went to meet the soldiers from Fort Ares who came to support them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ye crawled on the ground, passed by every foot, and left the dining area in a low-key manner.
Now, the garrison in the refugee camp has been alarmed, and a large number of troops have rushed to dining area No. 3 to suppress the situation, which inevitably leads to loopholes in the camp's supervision.
Lu Ye quickly came to a piece of barbed wire, used a pair of scissors he had made from the tools he had collected over the past few days, cut off a piece of the wire, and then crawled out.
As soon as he left the camp, he ran towards the desert, but at this moment, someone behind him shouted: "Refugees are escaping, refugees are escaping."
A magnetic vehicle chased out of the camp, and the radio on the vehicle shouted: "People in front, stop quickly, or we will shoot."
Of course Lu Ye would not stop. After the broadcast sounded three times, the gunner on the magnetic vehicle opened fire at the ground near Lu Ye.
The hot sand brushed across Lu Ye's face like an iron brush, causing him a burning pain. He covered his head to avoid the shooting and instinctively ran in another direction.
Suddenly, his eyes blurred and a magnetic car drove by. Lu Ye couldn't stop and crashed into it, falling heavily.
The fall made him dizzy. He heard the door of the magnetic car open and someone approaching. Then his vision went dark and someone bent down and stretched out his arm and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lu Ye saw a young man. Under the scorching sun, the man's silver-white hair was blown by the desert wind, like a ball of silver flame, stinging Lu Ye's eyes.
