Chapter 896 (1/2)

As soon as the half piece of bread fell to the ground, the woman quickly grabbed the bread in her hand, tore off a part and stuffed it into her mouth, and the rest into her daughter's mouth, hoping that her daughter would eat the long lost normal food.

However, just as the woman grabbed the half piece of bread from the ground... No, it should be said that kuci just took out the half piece of bread, the eyes of the nearby refugees immediately straightened.

As soon as the woman grabbed the half piece of bread from the ground, the other refugees not far away immediately rushed up.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of refugees surrounded the woman.

At the same time, a steady stream of refugees still arrived to reinforce the siege of the woman.

The refugees who surrounded the woman rushed up, trying to take the bread from the woman's hands and mouth.

Some people robbed the woman of the small piece of bread she had planned to give her daughter.

While others went to pick the bread that had been eaten by the woman, trying to pick even a piece of debris from the woman's mouth.

Human reason and morality are based on survival.

When survival is threatened, no one can maintain reason and morality.

Under the torture of hunger, the refugees have long lost their original reason, morality and sense of shame.

They just want food, they just want to live.

Soon, the poor woman was drowned by the refugee tide of countless people

Kuci was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet.

El kept shouting, hoping to awaken the reason of these refugees.

But preaching is obviously impossible to be useful.

There are a small number of escorts on the side of the baggage troops, which are responsible for defending the baggage troops.

Just as El was going to ask the nearest convoy for help, the change appeared again.

Suddenly there was a cry that made El feel cold on his back.

”It's food! It's food! ”

El followed his reputation and saw a grain truck not far in front of him overturned by the refugees.

The army in front of El is specially responsible for transporting food, so such food trucks are the most needed.

El didn't know how the grain truck was overturned by the refugees. All he knew was that something bad would happen next.

The next thing is the same as El expected.

After the grain truck was overturned by the refugees, bags of sacks loaded inside fell to the ground.

The refugees pounced on the sacks and opened the seals with their fingernails to reveal the golden grains of wheat inside.

Refugees who have long been tortured by hunger and are going crazy have long ignored whether the food is raw or cooked. They directly grabbed a handful of wheat and stuffed it into their mouth.

More and more refugees began to attack the baggage team and began to grab military food.

Although there are escorts on the side of the baggage troops, the number is too small to do anything in the face of this scale of refugee tide.

Even the baggage team under El's command was impacted.

The refugees thought that the carriages behind El were also loaded with food, so they hurriedly lifted the sackcloth covered on the carriages.

After finding that these carriages were loaded with some military equipment, they scattered with disappointment to find the next carriage suspected to be loaded with food.

El stared solemnly at the increasingly chaotic scene in front of him.

”Uncle, Bernard, etc...”

Just then, kuci rode his donkey slowly to the back of El's side and asked El:

”What should we do now?”

”...” El said in a deep voice after a moment of silence, ”send the order - everyone spread out to both sides of the road.”
