As the fish balls climbed over the rugged top of the mountain, the vision in front of them suddenly became clear.
Orange-yellow wildflowers bloomed all over the floor, in stark contrast to the previously bare mountain trail. When the autumn wind blows, there will be waves in the sea of flowers. This natural beauty can always lift the spirits of tired travelers.
The faintly recognizable town in the middle of the sea of flowers is the destination of this trip, Fengshuang Town.
This is his sixth time crossing the valley.
Although Yuwan served as the squad leader of the high-flying crew, he was also a soldier of the First Army. With the order to speed up the evacuation, many soldiers like him also threw themselves into emergency rescue.
Since the evacuation, his route has not been attacked by the devil, perhaps because it is too far away from the red mist, or the devil simply does not look down on this escaped refugee. But no matter what, every time you bring another person back to Neverwinter, Neverwinter will have more strength.
And he has brought nearly a thousand people to the rear one after another.
According to convention, this team will be stationed outside the town, and then send people to negotiate with the refugees who are staying here, and then take them out in batches. As early as the first time they came, the First Army had warned the residents that the road ahead was dangerous, and it was best not to go south without authorization. As long as they wait a few days in town, the Greycastle army will escort them away.
Of course, not everyone will believe this. In fact, Yu Wan has encountered embarrassed refugees several times on the way, either running out of food or being chased by wild beasts. However, this was the luckier end, and the more unlucky ones died silently in the valley.
Only this time, the fish balls noticed something a little different.
Looking from Banpo, Fengshuang Town, which had been sparsely populated before, now has many people.
"Which big city is this collapsing?" Hansen, the investigator of the same team, whistled, "There have been so many refugees in just ten days, so we will be busy."
The fish balls are also quite exciting. There were only nearly 1,000 people in the past one or two months. This time, this trip may be enough to match or even surpass the previous results.
Although he did not know why these refugees did not choose other better routes, but gathered in this small town at the bottom of the valley, once they came, the First Army was obliged to take them to a safe place .
Thinking of this, everyone's footsteps can't help speeding up a lot.
Going downhill is much easier than going uphill. After more than half an hour, the team has arrived at the campsite in Fengshuang Town. Refugees in the town also noticed their arrival. Many people poured into the streets, and soon they gathered into a stream of people, rushing in their direction.
"These people... must be too eager." Someone joked.
"Didn't you tell them to wait in town?"
"Could it be that I ran out of food, and I hope I can ask for something from us?"
This statement has been recognized by most people.
"If there really is a collapse in a nearby city, it's normal that you don't bring enough food," Yu Wan quickly made a decision, "but it's not good for us to count the number of people and maintain order. They stopped them. Come and set up ten people with me, and the others will be on guard."
He is well aware of the horror of crowds out of control. If the refugees cannot be stopped and the begging turns into robbery, these people will not be much different from robbers and bandits.
Most of the time, there is a fine line between the two types of people.
"Yes!"
The soldiers quickly dispersed, holding their guns behind their backs.
As the distance between the two sides keeps getting closer, the figures of the refugees are becoming more and more clear.
Yu Wan raised the loudspeaker and turned to the maximum volume to shout, "This is the First Army Rescue Team in Greycastle, please don't panic, stop immediately, stay where you are and follow the next instructions. We have plenty of food. and medicines, but the distribution requires your cooperation! Repeat, stop, or we will take coercive measures!"
The crowd hesitated for a moment, but quickly started running again, as if being pushed by something behind them.
Yu Wan frowned and asked his teammates to point their guns at the sky, ready to fire a warning shot.
At this moment, Hansen let out a soft cry.
"what?"
"What's wrong?" Fishball asked.
"Squad leader, their attire seems a bit strange..." Hansen said while observing with the observation glass, "Have you ever seen a refugee carry a roll of cloth with him?"
"Cloth strips?" Yu Wan suddenly felt a little puzzled. He grabbed the observation mirror and looked at the crowd. The distance between the two sides was almost 300 meters. The observation mirror could roughly see the other party's clothes and what they were carrying. In terms of dressing, they are indeed a group of fugitives, but as the investigator said, most of them have a long or short strip of cloth on their bodies, some on their backs, some hanging on their backs. The waist, no matter how you look at it, it feels strange.
It is human nature for refugees to bring everything they can with them before fleeing. The First Army usually asks them to abandon their luggage and travel light, but things that will not bring trouble and inconvenience to the migration, such as golden dragons, will not interfere in principle. In the past two months, Yu Wan has also seen a lot of strange "household wealth", but this is the first time he has seen cloth strips.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
This group of refugees appeared to be in rags, with shoes on their feet. And those rotten clothes are not old at all, they seem to have been damaged in the near future.
The distance between the two sides has narrowed to within two hundred meters.
"Bah"
Teammates fired warning shots.
The crowd suddenly dispersed, and the scene where the blood of the fish balls coagulated appeared. They were probably startled by the sound of gunfire. Several people in the front hurriedly opened the cloth strips, and the cloth strips were used by the First Army. Standard rifle!
This move seemed to set off a wave in the crowd, and others followed suit. The strips of cloth of different lengths were actually used to hide weapons. The things wrapped under them ranged from swords to halberds. .
He suddenly realized that this was a trap!
"Return to camp!" Yu Wan shouted to his teammates, "Run!"
Before he finished speaking, there was already a burst of gunshots!
Yu Wan even heard the sound of bullets flying past his ears, and the surrounding grass splashed with strings of dirt from time to time, and the other nine people also reacted, turning around and rushing towards the camp.
The team has camped there several times, and although there are no bunker trenches, simple sand and stone camps still exist. It was originally built to fight off possible demons, but now it has become the only cover on the empty hillside.
When the fish balls climbed and ran into the camp, there was not a single teammate standing in the field. Compared with the non-stop gunfire on the opposite side, the counterattack in the camp seemed very scattered. Compared with the nine people in Sheka, the four. The team of more than ten people is obviously the more eye-catching target. When he thinks that they are likely to be shot without any precautions, Yu Wan's heart rises in his throat.
He grabbed Hansen, "Quick, go and see everyone's situation!"
After the other party ran away with a low body, he also put up the gun and aimed at the "refugees" who were surrounded from all directions.
No... They are by no means real refugees, but probably nobles who have surrendered to the devil!
Only the devil can get so many weapons of the First Army!
Damn it, Yu Wan thought bitterly, he never expected that the same kind would use the refugees to set such a trap, don't they understand at all, whose accomplices are they
"Squad leader," Hansen came back faster than he thought, just counting the breath before and after, "Everyone is fine, only one person was slightly injured, and it has been bandaged, which basically does not hinder the battle."
Yu Wan couldn't help but be stunned, "Only one person was injured?" The gun body just now was obviously so fierce.
"Yes," Hansen also seemed relieved, "Luck seems to be on our side for the time being. Now that everyone has assigned their guard positions, we will stick to the last moment!"
