Dark Blood Age Chapter 680 - Yuan Xiaoyi

Chapter 680: Chapter 680 Yuan Xiaoyi

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the air seemed to be frozen into ice. Even if you were wearing a thick padded jacket or down jacket, you could still feel the pervasive cold air getting into the clothes. The body was cold, but the bones were even colder, and the refugees’ upper and lower teeth were constantly clicking each other making the black symphony.

Yuan Xiaoyi and many people huddled together, sitting in front of the window of the refugee building with knees bent. She was leaning on the side of her cla.s.smates, pulling the placket tightly to prevent cold wind from entering her body and freezing herself into a cold dead body.

She never had time to cross the river. Even if she crossed the river, she didn’t know who to look for. In the chaos, she and her cla.s.smates found a commercial building crowded with refugees. She temporarily settled down and endured the hunger to this day. But she still couldn’t find one job that could receive food rations, more and more cla.s.smates were beginning to swell to a scary extent as if they may die at any time.

The sound of cannons outside the window has been ringing for a day and a night, and there was no sign of stopping at all. Instead, it was getting closer and closer. She could even smell the smoke in the air.

There were more and more dead people, and more and more refugees were pouring into the center of the city. No one could care less about the corpses that had fallen on the street. Only when someone tripped on them occasionally, would people hear some sighs.

She did not know why the soldiers from the same army began to kill each other. The world has already become like this. Human beings were forced to be like stray dogs, and there were scary creatures that cannibalize people everywhere, and the environment has become so harsh that it could not possibly get any worse, but why couldn’t everyone unite to deal with the monsters and resist the icy doom!?

She was very angry, and wanted to point to the noses of the two parties in power that started this civil war, scold them severely, and ask if they were still human? And if they still had any humanity in them?

Instead of killing cruel creatures that eat humans, they were fighting each other, killing their own soldiers, harming their compatriots and refugees, and smas.h.i.+ng cannonb.a.l.l.s on their own people like slaughtering animals.

She couldn’t figure it out, didn’t they think that humans were not miserable enough? Did they think that the number of humans was not decreasing fast enough?

Why must it be like this? Why did they want to turn the last refuge into a cannibalistic purgatory?

Was it for the sinful desire for power, or it was really just because that person was a devil?

Yuan Xiaoyi didn’t believe it, because she personally saw that that man saved many people with his sword from many floating monsters and brought them out of that terrifying city while he was covered in blood.

That person was neither cruel nor evil, he even treated ordinary people better than those people who had a superpower, how could he be a devil? What kind of devil would not kill ordinary people but save them? If a devil was really like this, she would support the devil without hesitation.

And those who called the person the Devil, in order to kill him, it was said that they even used nuclear bombs. Although they didn’t admit it, many people said they did. Then, who was the real devil?

This was what she thought in the beginning, and she firmly believed what she thought was right. But since yesterday, she was confused again.

That person started an internal war first, and the roar of artillery sh.e.l.ls made this last city tremble and bleed!

Looking out the window, and when she was thinking it like this, she saw a stray sh.e.l.l emitting the bright light heading toward them.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the top floor of the commercial building was cut in half, and the ceiling and floor were shaken by violent vibrations, and large cracks began to spread like earthworms.

“Run! The building is going to collapse!”

Someone yelled, and everyone woke up from the scream. Dragging the hungry companion, holding the crying child, everyone flocked to the stairs in a panic. Because there were too many people and they were running in a hurry, many people were tripped over and rolled down the stairs. The cries of being trampled on were mixed with the sound of gunfire outside appearing non-stop in the building. With the light of the torch swaying on the ceiling, Yuan Xiaoyi felt that the real end of the world was coming!

Outside the window, some people were thrown off the top floor by the blast. While falling, they were swaying their hands in the air rapidly as if they were trying to grab something. However, none of them succeeded. They just kept falling and falling in the blood-curdling screams.

Crowded, screaming, pus.h.i.+ng, shaking…

Yuan Xiaoyi finally came downstairs, but it was a mess on the ground. It was so terrible that she couldn’t even bear to look at it.

On the dim streets, refugees like headless flies were running everywhere in chaos, shaking the dizzy flashlight in their hands. Someone nervously said that the army from the east was coming, and some people said in horror that the army from the west was advancing. With many different words, no one knew who to believe anymore.

Yuan Xiaoyi, who had some escape experience in the fight against floating monsters, helped a swollen female cla.s.smate to get up and said decisively:

“There is going to be a fight in the city, staying here will only get us killed, let’s get to the outside of the city!”

Her suggestion seemed to light up a beacon in the dark, illuminating the headless flies that rammed around blindly. Then more and more people felt that what she said was reasonable and began to follow her.

However, Yuan Xiaoyi and his cla.s.smates didn’t run very far. As they just ran past the third streets, they noticed that more and more figures began to appear before them. In the dark, the flickering torch lights made them even dizzier from hunger.

“Run!” was the most frequent word that Yuan Xiaoyi heard people shout, but they were so weak that how could they possibly run? Even walking was a difficult task for them now, let alone running.

In the distance, the sound of more and more intensive artillery mingled with the roars of the machine guns. It became the only force to support them to walk away from the city. Only by escaping from the city could there be the hope of not being swallowed up by war.

Fortunately, they did not settle in the key protected area of the city. This was probably the only good thing for not knowing anything in the government or the military.

After pa.s.sing another street, Yuan Xiaoyi felt that her legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and her cla.s.smates were so weak to a point that once they fell down, they would no longer be able to get up again.

It was at this moment, she suddenly b.u.mped into a person in front. She quickly pushed, but that person did not move. She pushed again, but the person still did not move. Then she noticed that all the people around her all stopped. At this time, she finally realized that the road ahead was blocked.

“Keep moving!”, “Why don’t you move?”, “What happened at the front?”

The artillery fire and gunfire behind were like the grim reaper, forcing the men who still had the strength to stand on their toes anxiously, and ask loudly. Some of the impatient ones even climbed on the roof of the cars on the side of the road, looking over the dense heads of people ahead.

The transmission of the message needed time. No matter how anxious and urgent the people behind were, there was still no exact information coming back from the front. Without looking at the situation ahead, no one knew how long they would be able to find out what exactly happened at the front.

It was about ten minutes or so, and when Yuan Xiaoyi still couldn’t figure out what happened, the message was delivered in another way.

The crowd in front of them began to push backward!

Caught off guard, she was almost pushed to the ground. It instantly caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

If she fell down at this time, the dense crowd would not be able to tell whether she was alive or dead as they pushed each other back, but it would definitely not take long to trample her to death.
