C152

Early in the morning, Meng Kang led the medical team formed by the thirty-six girls of medical school and sat on the warship with the warriors of the Wind and Thunder Hall.

Gu Tian, Ye Xiaoyuan, Zi Yan all had accompanying them, it was a pity that they could not get Senior Yuan Xuan to move, otherwise, they would be at ease!

Senior Yuan Xuan only wanted to guard the small round lake, waiting for his lover to return, and keeping him here to look after the house was understandable, so Meng Kang did not force him.

Moreover, on this trip, the most important mission was to cure the disease and control the disease. Although Senior Yuan Xuan had a lot of combat experience, it was not of much use.

However, before he left, Yuan Xuan handed over a millstone-sized Taisui Mole over to Meng Kang, hoping that it would be of some use to him.

The warship followed the current downwards, and just as it exited the Shanghai City, it saw many different sized escaping boats in the river, every one of them packed to the brim, waiting for the refugees to escape into the Shanghai City.

The faces of these people were filled with food, and their eyes were filled with confusion. When they looked at the warship, they were like motionless statues.

Lei Yu sighed: "All of these are lucky, after getting on the boat, I will starve for seven to eight days and arrive at Shanghai City. There are also those who did not board the ship, I can only take the land road, and starve to death countless of people!"

This Wind and Thunder Hall's Hall Master was born into a peasant family and had suffered since she was young. Afterwards, she had been in the underworld for more than ten years and knew the hardships of the people like the back of her hand.

"Why don't they eat wild animals? The wild hare and wild chicken in the mountains are very easy to catch! "

Gu Tian asked from the side.

Everyone practiced martial arts since they were young. As long as they had at least at the armor-breaking Realm, they could kill any wild beast with their bare hands, not to mention those at the malleolus Realm.

That was why Gu Tian had asked.

Lei Yu laughed and said: "Brother Tian, you have never experienced such an environment! Let alone rabbits, even if the victims were to go up the mountain and dig out all the earthworms from the soil, the hens would not be left alive! "

Of course, the positive side was the military, but the negative side was not conducive to restraint and management. Once a natural disaster occurred, these refugees who were armed with military power would immediately become an unstable factor in the country.

The warship followed the current, and in one day and one night, it left the center of the empire and began to enter the jurisdiction of the prefecture.

At this point, the surface of the canal began to grow murky. There were all kinds of sundries, dead branches, and rotting corpses floating on the surface. It was a shocking scene to behold.

At this time, everyone on the ship realized how serious the flood was. Thousands of families were devoured by the flood demons, millions of people were displaced without food or clothing.

The two sides of the canal were densely packed with victims trying to rush to the Shanghai City area. Their faces were numb, they only knew that they were moving forward mechanically, and when they were thirsty, they would hold onto the muddy water of the canal to drink. Many people just walked on and fell into the canal, and with a splash, they disappeared without a trace.

When the people on the warship saw this terrible scene, their hearts all became heavy.

These ships of the Wind and Thunder Hall did not have any extra food. Everyone could only hope that Bai Jingting would be able to handle this situation beautifully and save these pitiful victims.

Meng Kang could not bear to watch this any longer, so he took out a chest of meat from his spatial storage and threw it with all his might, arms held high.

That cupboard was filled with the delicate meat that the King's daughter Yan Zhanuo had cooked for him. It didn't look bad in his storage space, so it was just nice for the victims to have a full meal.

The large cabinet flew over the canal and exploded in the air on the other side. The meat inside scattered and rained down on the affected people's heads.

Meng Kang did it skillfully because he hoped that more people would be able to benefit from it.

The victims on the other side of the river were in a frenzy. The meat that fell from the sky was much more tempting to them than gold and silver treasures.

Many of them immediately stuffed their hands into their mouths as soon as they received the meat pieces, and then went on a rampage to snatch the other's meat pieces.

Seeing Meng Kang's actions, Gu Tian borrowed a bow from a nearby soldier, changed the direction of the arrow, and hung a bag of rations on the arrow shaft.

The arrow that was hanging from the grain bag flew to the other side of the river. It was like a small stone had been thrown into a wave.

Therefore, the young ladies of medical school who were filled with sympathy, including some warriors of the Wind and Thunder Hall, followed suit and hung their food on arrows, shooting towards the other side.

Dozens of arrows pierced through the air, each with a bag of food hanging from it. They fell into the crowd of victims.

This time, it was as if a spoonful of boiling oil had been poured onto the bonfire. The victims all rushed towards the riverbank like a tide, all wanting to snatch the grain bags from the arrows.

With this push, the victims who were originally standing by the river bank were pushed into the river one by one.

Some people were pushed into the river as soon as their mouths were filled with food. The scene was too horrible to look at.

Seeing that, Lei Yu immediately shouted: "Stop! All of you, stop! Who told you to be so reckless! "

Before his voice had even faded, the victims that had been pushed into the river all madly swam towards the warship.

Not only that, but many of the victims on the shore also jumped down from the canal and swam towards the warship when they saw that someone was leading them.

Looking at the floating heads in the water, which now numbered in the hundreds, the people on the battleship finally realized that they had made a big mistake.

Lei Yu's face darkened, and shouted: "Ignore them, move the boat at full speed! Get out of here! "

After the crew received the order, they quickly turned the ship around and left the area.

Everyone on the boat felt a lingering fear in their hearts. Only then did they realize that they had been doing this out of good intentions!

Not only had they lost their rations, but they had also caused an uproar among the victims. This had resulted in the death of countless more innocent people in the canal.

The fleet continued its way south, to the Zhongguang Canal, where they abandoned their ships and went ashore, and from there to the Qingzhou City.

This way of arranging the itinerary was nearly three days faster than directly going by land.

Meng Kang led the medical team, adding the warriors who were accompanying the Wind and Thunder Hall, there were two hundred and sixty-four of them, and the two hundred Steel Cavalry were guarding the carriage, slowly travelling on the road that led to the Cyan Plains.

On the way, the further south they headed, the less people there were.

Initially, they had encountered other relief convoys, but from time to time, groups of people would look in their direction with longing gazes.

After walking on the public road for a day and a night, it was as if he had traveled to another world when the sun rose.

As far as the eye could see, the earth was scorched to the bone for a thousand miles, and there was no sign of human habitation.

It was hard to imagine that this was actually within the borders of the Great Halberd Country. There was not a single person on the public road. There was not a single sound, only the dull sound of the wheels and hooves of the medical team.

The good farmland on both sides of the road was destroyed. The flood had just subsided, and not a single seedling was spared. The soil that had been soaked in the flood turned into a puddle of soil that emitted a rotten smell.

From time to time, corpses could be seen on the roadside. It was unknown if they had starved to death or if they had drowned. The scene was too horrible to look at.

When they saw the first few corpses, the girls of medical school still tried to hide their kindness, and there were more and more of them behind. Everyone could only hide their good intentions, and rushed to the Qingzhou City in the disaster area with a heavy heart.

"We are only fifty kilometers away from Qingzhou City! Everyone cheer up! "

Lei Yu shouted from his horse.

Meng Kang slowly raised the carriage window to look at the tragic scene on both sides of the official road, and his heart became more uneasy.

It was said that he was afraid of getting closer to home, this saying was indeed true!

Without Lei Yu's reminder, Meng Kang obviously knew when this road under his feet would reach the Qingzhou City, because this was his hometown in the first place.

Meng Kang did not forget every single detail in the Qingzhou City. He had complicated emotions about this city, and they were not as simple as love and hate.

Finally, the convoy reached the Qingzhou City.

Strangely, the Qingzhou City's gates were tightly shut, the outside of the city walls were completely empty, the surroundings were completely silent without a single sound.

Furthermore, there were many large rocks piled up outside the city gate, tightly blocking the city gate.

"Pavilion master, there are a few corpses in front of us!"

One of the scouts reported as he turned his horse.

Lei Yu frowned, and casually asked: "What's so strange about these corpses? "We haven't seen much along the way?"

The scout quickly answered, "Head, there are arrows on the corpses. They were not made from starvation, but were shot dead!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Lead the way! "

Lei Yu waved his big hand and spurred his horse towards the direction of the scout.

Sure enough, more than ten corpses were found in the weeds around the city walls. They were all in their prime, and they had all been killed by arrows.

However, the time of death varied. Some corpses had already rotted away, revealing their deathly bones. Some of the corpses seemed to have been killed not long ago, with the maximum duration being two to three days.

It was strange that the victims had been shot dead!

Who would want to make things difficult for these defenceless, starving people?

Lei Yu frowned, he raised his hand: "Clean the road, we will enter the city!"

The guards stepped forward one after another, and several of them worked together to clear away the debris blocking the city's entrance.

Lei Yu walked to the front of the city gate and pressed both hands onto it, and suddenly unleashed a force!

With a creak, the two gates opened a crack.

Lei Yu took a deep breath, with his cultivation in the High-grade Mysteries of Abhijina, he channeled all the surrounding Heaven and Earth origin force into his body, forming a huge force and forcefully pushed the city gate open even further, allowing more people to pass by.

The guards on both sides of the street swarmed forward, completely opening the gates and clearing a path for the carriages to pass through.

It turned out that the inside of the city gate was also filled with all sorts of junk, and the entire city gate was firmly blocked. If it wasn't for a powerful expert like Lei Yu coming out to open the gate, it would have taken a while for the city gate to open.

The carriage slowly entered the city. Strangely, the city was silent, the streets were cold and deserted, the once bustling Qingzhou City became a scene of a ghost.
