Chapter 459 Crossing the Yalu River

"I turned into a two-legged sheep?"

Zhang Yi woke up from his sleep and immediately realized this tragic fact.

Ouch, his head hurt so much, the pain almost tore his brain apart.

His eyes seemed to be stuck with glue, and it took a lot of effort to open them. When he saw a terrifying scene, his body trembled uncontrollably.

This is a very dark little dark room, filled with the smell of blood, which makes people breathless.

There is a window on the dilapidated brick wall, which is blocked by a wooden fence. The dim sunlight shines in and slants on Zhang Yi's body. The color of the clothes in tatters has long been lost.

He was lying on a uneven wooden table with his limbs spread out in a wide shape. His hands and feet were tightly restrained by hemp ropes, and the other end was tied to four wooden stakes, making him unable to move.

Like a lamb lying on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

"how so!"

Zhang Yi let out a long sigh, his heart contracting violently.

In his opinion, cannibalism only happened in barbaric ancient times, but now...

Hey, now it’s a more barbaric wasteland world!



Decades ago, a tragic nuclear war broke out around the world. Civilization was destroyed. It was difficult to grow food on the contaminated land. Wild animals also mutated under the influence of nuclear radiation. The survivors struggled to survive.

Zhang Yi traveled to this world and became a young hunter who caught giant snakes in the barren mountains and harsh waters. Those who do this are called snake catchers.

His grandfather supported the family by catching giant snakes, and it was passed down to him through his father, who is the third generation. What is disappointing is that there are fewer and fewer of these tender-meat giant snakes, and snake catchers starve to death one after another.

Before his death, his father told him that there was a Mopan City a few hundred miles south, and Zhang Yi could go and join his uncle.

After crying loudly and burying his father, Zhang Yi picked up the water hyacinth and a roll of snake skin and went out to find a way to survive.

He knew nothing about the situation outside the mountains. He heard from the villagers that the outside world was terrible and that people had become very cruel. If there was not enough food, they would eat the same kind of food. They were commonly known as two-legged sheep.

Zhang Yi didn't believe it at first, but unexpectedly, he encountered bad luck. Chu Erniang used a steamed bun to trick him into a human meat bun shop, and he was knocked to the ground by Old Liu Tou.

This damn black shop couple!



At this moment, Erniang Chu was greeting diners in the bun shop.

"Hey, brother is here. You came at the right time. Our mutton buns have just come out of the oven. They are hot and fragrant. Take a bite and the meat will burst with juice!"

Her shouts reached the small dark room through several broken walls, sounding extremely harsh.

"Skeleton Demon, I must kill you!"

Zhang Yi was furious. He had to live no matter what. It was too humiliating to be eaten by someone as a two-legged sheep and was absolutely unacceptable.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Yi pulled hard until the bones made a "crunching" sound without breaking the hemp rope. The four wooden stakes kept shaking back and forth, and hay and dust fell down, which fascinated his eyes.

This is not a solution. If the wooden stake falls, the noise will be too great. Chu Erniang and Lao Liutou will rush in with butcher knives. A person who is exhausted from hunger cannot kill two beasts!

what to do?

Yelling is undoubtedly seeking death. Those diners know what they are eating and no one will rescue Zhang Yi.

"Huchihuchi..."

In despair, Zhang Yi heard gasping sounds from under the table, and someone woke up from a deep sleep. He held his breath and thought for a while, and concluded that it was another two-legged sheep.

"Brother?" Zhang Yi asked tentatively.

"I have no brothers." A young man said rudely, his voice as strong as a gong.

While he was talking, he got out from under the wooden table. He had wild hair, dark skin, raised sword eyebrows, and wide-open bull eyes. He looked quite domineering.

He was almost naked, wearing only a pair of tattered shorts.

His neck is much thicker than that of ordinary people, his muscles are bulging and scarred all over his body, and he looks extremely tough. At first glance, he looks like a trainer who has been fighting with people all year round.

Zhang Yi felt strange, who was this sturdy young man?

Let's say he is a two-legged sheep, but he is not tied up. Let's say he is a free man, but he is imprisoned in a small dark room.

"Brother, do you know this is a human meat bun shop?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask.

"I know." The young man said carelessly.

"Uh," Zhang Yi was shocked by his nonchalant look, "I know you still don't run away? You're not with Chu Erniang, are you?"

"Why run? I'm willing to admit defeat." The young man frowned and said, "I dueled with others and made a life-and-death decision. Whoever loses will be a slave. They sold me to Erniang Chu. I accepted my fate and deserved to die.

Just die."

A miserable slave?

This is another word that refreshed Zhang Yi’s understanding after the two-legged sheep.

A chill ran down his spine. He never expected that slavery would return to the world and that the times would go back more than two thousand years.

What is even more sad is that this young man has a negative attitude, has no strength, but has a narrow and backward mind, which makes people sympathize.

Zhang Yi came from the civilized era and believed that all people are born equal and that a person's life, freedom and dignity cannot be deprived by anyone.

A surge of blood surged into his heart, and Zhang Yi suddenly had a bold idea. He wanted to save these suffering people, spread the concept of civilization, and lead them to find a way to survive in troubled times.

Of course, the most urgent thing right now is to escape first.

He knew that he could not break free from the rope by his own strength and had to get help from young people.

The question is, how can we convince this stupid young man?

Zhang Yi feels that young people are simple-minded people with well-developed limbs. They can't make a name for themselves in this ghost world, so they just break things. But it seems that he is still a very honest and honest person, and he doesn't have any evil intentions.

"Brother," Zhang Yi said sincerely, "even if you lose the duel, others are not qualified to trample you under their feet and become a slave. Your destiny is in your own hands..."

"To put it nicely," the young man interrupted Zhang Yi impatiently, "If you lose, you lose. A hard-working slave is a hard-working slave. This is the rule."

Zhang Yi almost couldn't breathe.

It is not easy to make someone understand the truth.

"Brother, you think you are a slave with a hard life, which is wrong," Zhang Yi said with a bitter smile, "Besides, I am no one's slave. I came from the mountains to find relatives, and I was deceived by Erniang Chu with a cornbread."

Entered the bun shop..."

"Ah, there is such a thing?" the young man said in shock, "The poor slave was killed, chopped up, and sold to a bun shop. No one said anything. This is life. But Chu Erniang was so greedy that she didn't even

If a mountain person who has seen the world can lie to her, is she still a human being?"

"You're right, she's not a human being, she's a goblin who brings harm to the world," Zhang Yi said angrily, then asked, "Brother, can you help me untie the rope?"

"Yes," the young man said cheerfully, "you are not a slave, at most you are a savage from the mountains."

He untied the hemp rope that tied Zhang Yi three times.

Zhang Yi was finally freed and breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy. Fortunately, he met this brother who accepted death.

Ha, he said that Zhang Yi, who traveled from the civilized era, has never seen the world and is a savage from the mountains. Isn’t this a joke?

After thinking about it, I was right. Zhang Yi had traveled to the wasteland world for only half a month. This was his first time out of the mountain. He really didn't understand the situation outside.

Zhang Yi jumped off the table, moving his stiff hands and feet while looking at his brother who had been tortured by the dark world with distress. He was a head taller than him and half as wide as an iron tower. This young man should not be eaten by others, Zhang Yi

Yi is determined to escape with him.

"My name is Zhang Yi, what's your name?"

The young man glanced at Zhang Yi and did not answer directly. He turned around and pulled out the wooden stick embedded in the window, bringing down a pile of earth and rocks without any effort.

"You should run away quickly, brother Zhang Yi. If you are too late, Erniang Chu will kill you."

"What about you?"

"Hey, there's no point in living. I'll just die."

Zhang Yi was struck by lightning.

In the last days, he finally met a good brother who saved his life. Who knew that the brother was so disheartened that he just wanted to die? It was really frustrating... No, no, he had to save the young man, save this brother who was completely desperate for life.
