C509 A Lame Excuse

After a while, a guard suddenly said: "The food in the city has been eaten up, what are you fighting for here? Snake, insects, mice, and other things have all been eaten by the disaster victims, so what if they are their parents? Can I squeeze food out from the gaps of my teeth for you? "

When Tang Ling'er heard this, a disappointed expression immediately appeared on her face. "Although that is the case, with our parents around, we will not travel far. Even if we have to die, we have to die by our parents' side. "

The guard's eyes were piercingly cold as he impatiently said, "Could it be that the Fengdu City is opened by your family? You can enter and exit as you wish. Let me tell you, the City Lord has already given the order that no matter what, the city gates can only be opened and no one can enter. "

Lin Lang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his shout. "No matter who it is, no one has the right to change the City Lord's decision. Anyone who wants to resist will only have one path, and that is death. "

As he spoke, The guard pointed to a rotting corpse in the distance, revealing a dense skeleton. Tang Ling'er's mood was extremely urgent at this moment. How could she tolerate the guard's sarcasm? Just as she was about to get angry, Lin Lang grabbed her hand.

Lin Lang said with a smile, "Master, there is an exception to everything. This time, I did not prepare the local specialties of my hometown to give to you. It was our fault. Next time, I will make it up to you. "

The guard said, "Who do you think we are? Would we covet your food? Let me tell you, the City Lord's orders were already carried out. No one can change it, don't be long-winded here. Otherwise, we can only treat you as criminals who obstruct official business, and directly enforce the law on the spot. "

One of the guards next to him added: " Don't think we're joking, we'll give you a death sentence, we have the right "

Lin Lang looked at the contrast in the attitude of these guards. Before, they were clearly happy and wanted to ask for food from him, but now they suddenly changed the direction of the situation.

Lin Lang, who had not figured it out for a long time, suddenly caught a glimpse of the patrol at the side from the corner of his eye. Only then did he realize that it was the people sent by the yamen to supervise them. He immediately understood.

Lin Lang took a step forward and said softly, "Lords, what exactly is needed to let us in? Name a price. "

The guard looked up at the patrol in front of him and said carefully, "Only the City Lord personally sent a token, and we have the right to let them go. Otherwise, once they find us, everyone will have to bear the consequences. So no matter who it is, without the token, no one is allowed to enter the city. "

Lin Lang knew the attitude of the guard. He also knew how strict the rules of Fengdu City were. Even if he wanted to change it, he would not be able to.

Tang Ling'er thought that the guards were deliberately making things difficult for them. They were the stones in the latrine. It was so smelly that it could not be smelled.

The anger that had been accumulated for a long time was almost uncontrollable. Just as it was about to explode, Lin Lang held her hand tightly and shook his head. "Forget it. Forget it. Let's leave this place first. It would be best to find a token to enter the city before coming over. Why make things difficult for them?"

The three of them immediately left the city gate and walked on the scorching road. Gradually, they walked into a lush and verdant bamboo forest.

Unfortunately, a rain of fire descended from the sky and was instantly burnt bare.

In an instant, the entire bamboo forest was burned empty, and only half of the bamboo shoots were exposed. Unfortunately, they had been dug out long ago, and only a shell remained.

"Heroes, alright, alright. This old man hasn't drunk a mouthful of water for three days and three nights. His mouth is dry and he feels very uncomfortable. Spare me a mouthful of water. "

An old man with white hair staggered behind them and said to Murong Dashan.

Murong Dashan immediately pointed in the direction of the moat in front of him and said in puzzlement, "Isn't the river there a large amount of water? You can drink as much as you want. "

The old man looked at Murong Dashan as if he was looking at a fool. He shook his head and said, "These are all stinky water that you can't drink. They have long been contaminated by the rotting corpses. The water in the river is filled with poison. How can I drink it? My wife just drank a mouthful of it, and she was completely drained. Diarrhea doesn't stop, there is no medicine to treat it. She died from exhaustion!"

The old man's heart was filled with concern. Although he had escaped a great disaster, he did not look happy at all.

Lin Lang and the other two opened their mouths, wanting to comfort the old man in front of them, but they found that there was no words that could describe the suffering that had happened to him. Wasn't this also the predicament and predicament that everyone was going to face?

"Grandpa, I'm really sorry. We are also helpless now. Do you have any way to send us into the city? We'll have a way when we get there. " Lin Lang asked.

The old man seemed very surprised and said in a puzzled manner, "Why did you enter the city? The city was now empty, it was a ghost town. Not to mention eating, even the root of the tree can't be found. We have already eaten up the disgusting things like snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The bark, grass, and even the Guanyin clay have all been eaten up. We can't even dig three feet into the ground. "

Lin Lang and the other two couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. No wonder their excuse was seen through by the guards all of a sudden. It turned out that it was really too shoddy.

At this moment, Lin Lang could not help thinking in his heart, There is really no one in the city anymore. As for asking for food, I'm afraid that the guards were just lucky. They thought that their fabricated parents would dig out food from the cellar. After all, some people have always had the habit of storing food. "

Tang Ling'er looked at Lin Lang, who was thinking about something. At times, she revealed a worried expression and at other times, she felt a little happy. When she looked at this old man, her heart could not help but have a trace of sympathy. After all, his wife had already starved to death. It was likely that his soul would return to his home soon.

Tang Ling'er, who had a trace of sympathy in her heart, said, "Old man, why don't you follow by our side first? As long as we have something to eat, we will definitely not starve you. "

Lin Lang looked at the old man in front of him and felt that it was somewhat suspicious. How could an old man survive until now in this chaotic battle?1

"Could it be that his wife was killed by him? The eyes of this old man in front of me are slightly red. It's obvious that he was born after absorbing human flesh. " A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Lin Lang's mind.

"Grandpa, who are the people inside now?" Lin Lang asked tentatively.

The old man suddenly said, "Who are there right now? All the capable Cultivators have already rushed to other worlds. The wealthy merchants had money, so they naturally rented teleportation arrays. They fled to other places through teleportation arrays, not to mention the escaping nobles. It's even easier. After all, the teleportation array is in their hands. "
