Chapter 388 (1/2)
Chu Yunsheng never thought that one day, he would be treated as a thief by a group of old ladies.
Hoes, sticks, pickaxes, all kinds of tools… no rules, no special fighting techniques, it was just completely brutal but simple violence.
“Stop, stop, stop! Otherwise, I’ll fight back!” Chu Yunsheng raised his arms and shouted.
‘What is wrong with those people. Is this their newly developed cultural behavior? Beating up strangers?’ Chu Yunsheng was speechless.
“Fight back?” the eyes of one of the aunts were wide open with anger, “You white-haired old b.a.s.t.a.r.d even dare to fight back? You Lao w.a.n.g Ba Village’s people are so f.u.c.king unreasonable. Don’t you dare think that you can bully us!”
“Aunty San, this person doesn’t look like he is from around here? His accent is also not right, I think we might have the wrong guy?” At this time, one of the women hesitated
“Maybe he is a refugee who just escaped here?” Another aunt said.
“Okay, okay, stop. Let’s see it first. Keep eyes on him, don’t let him run away.” said the aunt who was leading the group.
“Oh! He really is not from Lao w.a.n.g Ba village.” The aunt who was leading the group felt embarra.s.sed. Seeing Chu Yunsheng’s white hair, and his scarred and unshaven face, the leader-like aunt thought Chu Yunsheng was an old man.
“I’m sorry old man. Are you alright?” She said apologetically.
Looking at the group of women that were wearing tattered clothes, Chu Yunsheng was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a group of men who just ran up the mountain. They were also holding all kinds of weapons and shouted, “what happened? What happened? Did Lao w.a.n.g Ba that f.u.c.ker send people here to steal from us again?”
An aunt who was standing at the end of the group constantly gesticulated at him and whispered, “it’s a mistake… mistake…”
“Old man, where are you from?” A woman with a strong northern Chinese accent helped Chu Yunsheng to adjust his clothes and asked.
Chu Yunsheng suppressed his anger and asked, “Where am I?”
Although he was beaten up by a group of old ladies for no reason, he needed to get some information from them first.
It was only until this moment did everyone realize that he was a young man. However, his scarred face made everyone unable to help themselves but wonder what kind of journey he had been through.
But no one would sympathize with him. In this kind of age, all kinds of things could happen. They had seen too many of them. Besides, they were not living better lives than this young man.
“This place is inside a mountain range near Mountain City. you see that mountain over there? Mountain city is just after that mountain. But the city is empty now.” The woman with the northern Chinese accent pointed at a place said.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the place where she pointed, but it was too dark, he could only see a blurry mountain shape.
“How about Shu Du City? Has it fallen?” The only thing Chu Yunsheng was sure of was that the location of the map was in the direction that the woman was pointing at. If Mountain City had already been abandoned, then it could only be Shu Du City, which was further west behind Mountain City.
A group of people suddenly burst out laughing, “Of course not, if that city had fallen, we would’ve been dead already!” Said the leader aunt.
“Since the city has not fallen, why don’t you go there? Is it not dangerous to stay here?” Chu Yunsheng was confused.
The leader aunt said helplessly, “Who doesn’t want to go in? But there are so many people in this province, no matter how big Shu Du city is, it can’t accommodate everyone. If you don’t have any contacts or power, you couldn’t even get through the entrance.”
“Aunty San, I still think this place is quite good. The swarm is busy dealing with Shu Du city. Those insects don’t have time for us. Although it is not as safe as inside the city, we can still survive.” Said the aunt with a strong northern Chinese accent.
“That’s true!” said the leader aunt.
“Do they still allow people to get into the city?” Chu Yunsheng immediately asked.
If the city was surrounded by the swarm, it would be very difficult for him to get in. He couldn’t get into the city through the air. Otherwise, he would be exposed before he even found the map.
“Get in? Even a mouse also couldn’t get in. A group of people was expelled from the city just two days ago. It is said that they did something stupid. But who knows, a group of fools, probably something wrong with their heads…” The leader aunt snorted.
“Is there really no other way?” Chu Yunsheng asked with the last hope.
The leader aunt looked at Chu Yunsheng and asked in confusion, “unless you know anyone inside, or you are a… what do you call those people?”
“Energy Manipulation Master.” Said a woman who was slightly younger than her.
“Yes, yes, are you this kind of master? If you are, as long as you pa.s.s their test, you will be able to live inside permanently. But I think you should give up.” said the leader woman who looked at Chu Yunsheng from top to bottom. She didn’t think Chu Yunsheng was that kind of master.
“Young man, why do you want to get into the city?” Said the woman with the northern Chinese accent.
