No one seemed willing to leave their sheltered residence at this time.

Only Xu Qing...

He opened his eyes in the sleeping bag and remained motionless, waiting silently.

Until time passed and it was late at night when people were most asleep, Xu Qing slowly crawled out of the sleeping bag.

He moved very carefully, making as little noise as possible.

The roars and screams in the city echoed in his ears, but they did not distract him at all.

After carefully climbing out, Xu Qing silently walked towards the tent where the big man's broken cow was.

He does not allow hidden dangers that threaten his life around him. Even if it is just a hidden danger, he must find a way to solve it immediately.

This is the rule that Xu Qing learned through blood lessons after surviving in the slums. It is also the reason why he agreed to follow him this time.

Even during the day, he reminded everyone to make their harvest bigger, but he saw the greed of the mutilated cow and wanted to make it more tired even though it was injured, thus losing vigilance.

And the way he deliberately lowered his posture was also to paralyze the opponent and make him lose guard.

All of this was for the current move. At this moment, Xu Qing looked calm and gently approached the tent. He did not move rashly, but squatted there and listened carefully for a long time.

The snoring that reached his ears was even and steady, not like a fake. After confirming this, Xu Qing squinted, slowly pulled out his iron stick, gently opened the button of the tent, and slowly got in.

It was dark inside the tent, and Xu Qing could vaguely see the broken cow lying there, sleeping deeply. It was obvious that he was extremely tired due to the load during the day and the injuries.

Moreover, with his strong mentality, Can Niu could never imagine that a young man who had a flattering and cooperative attitude during the day would venture there in the middle of the night when other scavengers were around.

So at this moment, he didn't know that there was an uninvited guest in his tent.

Xu Qing looked at the sleeping Can Niu, his cold eyes as calm as the deep sea, and gently approached him until he stood next to him.

A severe cut on the neck.

The force was so great that the body was almost separated.

Blood spurted out instantly.

The severe pain caused Can Niu's eyes to open suddenly, and he saw Xu Qing's expressionless face, with an expression of disbelief and horror. He was about to struggle, but Xu Qing quickly raised his left hand and pressed it on his mouth.

It can't make any sound.

The struggle became more intense at this moment, Can Niu's eyes widened and his whole body twitched crazily.

But Xu Qing's hands were like iron pliers, pressing tightly, and he raised his right foot and stepped directly on the belly of the disabled cow. He turned into an arch, and with the help of stable force, the struggling of the disabled cow was useless.

.

As the blood continued to gush out, the crippled cow was like a fish out of the water. Slowly, despair emerged strongly in its eyes, and it even appeared to be pleading.

But what he saw was still Xu Qing's calm face. As for the sound of his body struggling, it was also covered up by the roars and screams of the outside world, and could not be heard at all.

Time passed slowly, until more than ten breaths later, Can Niu's struggle gradually became weak, and finally he trembled, and his whole body relaxed and became motionless. Only his eyes were open, and the fear before death remained, and he died.

Xu Qing did not raise his hand immediately, but waited for a while to confirm that the other party was really dead, then let go of his hand, wiped off the blood on it, and opened his leather bag.

Carefully take out the snake head wrapped in linen from inside, and carefully use the fangs of the snake head to pierce the skin of the mutilated cow.

The next moment, as the poison spread, green bubbles appeared on the corpse of the mutilated cow, and it slowly melted.

After a stick of incense was burned, the body completely turned into a pool of blood, seeping into the soil on the ground.

Xu Qing watched all this silently, began to clean up the scene, and disposed of the relics of the mutilated cow, making it appear that the other party was missing, and then got out of the tent.

The cold wind blew in his face, taking away some of the smell of blood on his body. Xu Qing looked up at the night, took a deep breath of the cold air, and slowly returned to his sleeping bag.

The moment he lay in the sleeping bag, he finally felt at ease. The sense of security brought by the elimination of hidden dangers made him close his eyes and quickly fell asleep. However, he always held the iron stick in his hand tightly and never let go.

.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, as the morning light fell and illuminated the earth, Xu Qing opened his eyes, climbed out of his sleeping bag quietly, and glanced at the tent where the mutilated cow was, as if at random.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The crippled cow's tent actually disappeared.

Xu Qing's heart sank and she became more vigilant.

Soon other scavengers also came out of the tent one after another in the early morning. They discovered this immediately and were surprised. Some people looked around to no avail.

But because the mutilated cow disappeared completely, even the tent was gone, so some people judged that the other party must have left in the middle of the night because he was greedy for the things in the city, or for other reasons, he left without saying goodbye.

In short, in this restricted area, there are too many reasons for a person to disappear.

It was a temporary team, and Can Niu was alone, so these scavengers soon stopped paying attention to this matter. Some people looked at Xu Qing, but they seemed to think that this matter could not be related to Xu Qing, plus

There is no obligation to investigate, so I withdraw my speculation.

Only the old man known as Captain Lei looked at Xu Qing meaningfully and spoke calmly when he took back Xu Qing's sleeping bag.

"Now, are you still coming with me?"

This sentence was of profound significance, and Xu Qing was silent.

The old man said nothing more and called to everyone to hurry up under the early sunshine.

Xu Qing stood there for a moment, and instinctively turned back to look at the ruined city. Finally, he turned around and looked at the old man's back. After thinking about it, he followed him. As he walked, his steps gradually became firmer.

Six scavengers and one child, their figures were stretched very long in the sun...

In the distance, the wind blew by, scattering their sighs and emotions as they moved forward.

"This is a divine catastrophe, and the whole city is destroyed."

"There is another forbidden zone in this world..."

"This is nothing. You have heard of it. Seven or eight years ago, there was a big city in the northern area. When the gods opened their eyes, the area and the city mysteriously disappeared, as if they had never existed."

The sound of dialogue became fainter and fainter. Under the early sun, among the figures traveling far away, the young man was silent, listening silently, and walking silently.

Farther.
