Chapter 2440: Shut out (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"It's going to rain."
"Damn it!"
“It’s been raining heavily these days, and it’s almost impossible to survive these days.”
Residents in the city saw the changes in the weather and made various complaints.
Soldiers passed by on the street from time to time, conducting careful searches of some places.
After searching for almost a whole day, all the people caught were suspects and not a single real rebel.
Now that the weather has changed, the soldiers who have been busy all day have joy in their eyes.
If it rains, then they won't be able to continue the search and can take a good rest.
However, some soldiers who were involved in preventing floods looked unhappy. They had been operating drainage trucks non-stop during heavy rainstorms in the past few times.
This time it starts to rain again, and it is conceivable that the same thing will happen again.
The city gate is very lively.
The queue of residents going in and out of the city is several kilometers long, and if you look around, you can't see the end of the queue.
Now the sky has become overcast, and thunder occasionally occurs. People who have not left the city have temporarily given up the idea of leaving the city and hurried home.
People who have not entered the city are anxious to enter the city, because if it starts to rain, they will definitely get wet all over.
If you stay in the rain for a long time, you will catch cold and become seriously ill.
No one likes to be sick, especially ordinary people. After all, when you are sick, you are unable to work and your income is cut off.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ran quickly on the road. He passed over several bushes and entered a lush forest.
He had been to this forest many times, so when he saw this forest, he knew that he was not far from his destination.
There was sudden movement next to him. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head and took a look. He saw a strange beast jumping out from behind the big tree next to him, swooping in with its fangs and claws.
The strength gap between the two sides is quite large.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead faced the attack of the alien beast and calmly accelerated his speed, avoiding it with ease.
The alien beast was very hungry and didn't want to let go of the prey it had finally waited for. It rushed forward with all its limbs, trying to catch up with the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Damn alien beast."
"If you waste my time like this, I won't let you go easily."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drew out his weapon, injected it with psychic energy, and then slashed his sword behind him several times, firing out streaks of golden sword energy.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The sharp golden sword energy made a harsh whistling sound one after another. The strange beasts that were chasing after them had never seen such a powerful attack before, and they were frightened and froze in place.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
After a burst of explosions, the ferocious beast had a lot of fatalities on it and fell to the ground, looking like it would not survive.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ignored the strange beast and continued on his way. Now the weather was getting worse and worse. If he didn't hurry up, he might be left outside the city.
Time passed, and after more than an hour, Zecheng appeared in front of us.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on a high slope, looking at the city in the distance, with no happy expression on his face.
Because the city gate is now closed, many people are left outside the city.
"how so?"
"Isn't it time yet? Why is the city gate closed?"
The doubtful pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned, and then he quickly descended from the high slope and ran towards the city gate in the distance.
Those who had not entered the city had frowning faces. They wanted to scold the soldiers guarding the city gate but did not dare to speak and could only mutter in their hearts.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the city gate and learned some things from the people who were turned away. He knew what was going on.
It turns out that traces of rebels were found in the city. In order to prevent the rebels from escaping from the city, the city gate was closed early today.
Those who did not have time to enter the city camped near the city gate today and waited until dawn tomorrow when the city gate opened before entering the city.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had a depressed expression on his face after learning about the situation.
Just now he was driving with all his strength, but he didn't get much rest along the way. Now when he arrived at the city gate, he was told that there was no way to enter the city, so his journey was not in vain.
We can't enter the city, so we have to wait until dawn the next day before entering the city. It doesn't matter if the weather is good, but it's going to rain now!
When setting up camp outside the city, it's okay for some people to bring tents and other shelters, but what about those who don't?
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, scanned the scene and found many people with sad faces.
Most of these people travel alone, carrying some things on their backs, and without tents or the like.
"Boom..."
Thunder exploded in the sky, and a silver-white lightning flashed through, illuminating the dim sky and earth instantly.
Hearing the sound of thunder again, many people at the scene became even more depressed.
Although the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is in a similar situation to these people, he has experienced more things than these people. In addition, he is not an ordinary person, so he does not have many bad emotions.
"What can we do now?"
"It is impossible to enter the city today."
"There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's quickly find a place to take shelter before the rain falls..."
Several passers-by were talking, and others gathered over after hearing what they said. After discussion, these people decided to act together.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the ordinary people leaving and found that they were walking towards the woods not far away.
Then the men took out some tools and began to cut down the trees.
"Is this going to be a temporary shelter?"
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw these people's actions, and after thinking about it for a moment, he probably understood what they were going to do.
Others saw that someone was already thinking of ways to spend the night, so they no longer hesitated and used their own methods.
At this time, the advantages of the caravan are revealed. They travel long distances and must prepare tents for sleeping.
Being unable to enter the city at the moment is not a big deal for the caravan.
The caravan found a place to settle near the city wall and waited until daybreak before entering the city.
The tents were set up one after another, and the merchants took out the ingredients from the truck and started cooking dinner.
If it weren't for the fact that it was safer near the city wall and the strange beasts would not dare to approach, these experienced businessmen would not dare to light a fire and cook so blatantly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not stay where he was, turned around and left, walking further away.
The closer you are to Zecheng, the safer you are. At this time, no one will easily stay away from the city wall.
The reason why the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked farther away alone was not only because his own strength was guaranteed, but also because he remembered that there was a place in the distance that could be used to shelter from the wind and rain.
of cave.
"Boom."
Thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind blew stronger and stronger.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, searched according to his memory and soon found the cave he encountered before.
This cave covers an area of more than thirty square meters and is quite spacious inside.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead placed his backpack on the ground, then walked out of the cave and collected dry wood and weeds around him.
After brewing for a long time, the rain finally fell.
The raindrops were very small at first, but within half a minute they became larger.
The flowers, plants and trees were hit by the rain and made a crackling sound.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw it raining and ran towards the cave.
When he entered the cave, it was already raining heavily outside.
Taking some wood and dry weeds to live on, the flames rose, the heat wave spread around, and the temperature of the cave began to increase.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, took off his coat and placed it next to the fire.
It should take less than half an hour to dry your wet clothes.
The frequency of bright silver-white electric light is very high, and the sound of thunder resounds throughout the world.
This rain was very heavy, but compared with the heavy rainstorms before, it was still much lighter.
Many residents living in low-lying areas in the city can feel more relieved now.
The soldiers in charge of drainage are experienced, so on rainy days like this, the pressure on them is not great.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance. As far as he could see, he could see a lot of firelight near Zecheng.
Based on what I saw those people doing before, these fires should come from the temporary shelters they built.
Fortunately, it rained heavily and the wind became lighter afterwards, otherwise many of the temporary shelters would have been blown down by the strong wind.
