Chapter 1280 Disguise

When the fish ball climbed over the rugged mountain top, the view suddenly became clear.

Orange-yellow wildflowers bloomed all over the ground, in sharp contrast to the previously bare mountain trails. When the autumn wind blows, waves will rise in the sea of ​​flowers. This natural beauty can always refresh the spirits of tired travelers.

The faintly discernible town in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers is the destination of this trip - Fengshuang Town.

This was his sixth trip through the valley.

Although Yuwan serves as the squad leader of the high-tech aircraft team, he is also a soldier of the First Army. As the order from above to speed up the evacuation was issued, many soldiers like him also participated in emergency rescue.

Since the evacuation, his route has not been attacked by demons. Perhaps it is because it is too far away from the red mist, or the demons simply do not care about the refugees who escaped. But no matter what, every time you bring one more person back to Neverwinter, Neverwinter will gain more strength.

And he has brought nearly a thousand people to the rear one after another.

As usual, this team will be stationed outside the town, and then send people to negotiate with the refugees staying here, and then evacuate them in batches. As early as when they first arrived, the First Army had already warned the residents that the road ahead was dangerous and it was best not to go south without permission. As long as they wait in the town for a few days, the Graycastle army will escort them out.

Of course, not everyone will believe this. In fact, Yuwan has encountered embarrassed refugees on the way several times. Either all the food has been exhausted, or they have been chased by wild animals and have no way out. But this was a relatively lucky ending, while the more unlucky ones died quietly in the valley.

Only this time, Yuwan noticed something different.

Looking from Banpo, Fengshuang Town, which had been sparsely populated before, now has many more people.

"Is this a big city that has collapsed?" Hansen, a scout from the same team, whistled, "There have been so many refugees in just ten days. We will be very busy next."

Yuwan is also very excited. The previous trip for a month or two only saw nearly a thousand people. This time, one trip may be enough to equal or even exceed the previous results.

Although he didn't know why these refugees did not choose other better roads and instead gathered in this small town at the bottom of the valley, as long as they came, the First Army had the obligation to take them to a safe place. .

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Going downhill was far easier than going uphill. More than half an hour later, the team arrived at the camp site in Fengshuang Town. Refugees in the town also noticed their arrival. Many people poured onto the streets and soon gathered into a stream of people, running in their direction.

"These people... are too eager," someone joked.

"Didn't I say that I could just let them wait in the town?"

"Is it possible that they have run out of food and are hoping to get some food from us?"

This sentence has been recognized by most people.

"If there really is a catastrophic disaster in a nearby city, it is normal not to bring enough food," Yuwan quickly made a decision, "But this is not conducive to us counting people and maintaining order. We still have to bring They stopped me. Ten people came to set up a blockade with me, and the others were on guard."

He is well aware of the horror of a crowd that gets out of control. If the refugees cannot be stopped and begging turns into looting, these people will not be much different from robbers and bandits.

Most of the time, there is only a thin line between these two types of people.

"yes!"

The soldiers quickly spread out, holding the guns behind their backs.

As the distance between the two sides continues to get closer, the figures of the refugees become clearer and clearer.

Yuwan raised the loudspeaker and turned it up to the maximum volume and shouted, "This is the rescue team of the First Army of Graycastle. Please don't panic, stop immediately, stay where you are and follow the next instructions. We have enough food." and medicines, but distribution requires your cooperation! I repeat, stop, otherwise we will take coercive measures!"

The crowd hesitated for a moment, but soon started running again, as if being pushed by something behind them.

Yuwan frowned and asked his teammates to point their guns at the sky and prepare to fire a warning shot.

At this moment, Hansen let out a soft cry.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Fishball asked.

"Squad leader, their attire seems a bit strange..." Hansen said while observing with a telescope, "Have you ever seen a refugee carrying a roll of cloth with him?"

"Bulls of cloth?" Yu Wan was immediately confused. He grabbed the lookout glass and looked at the crowd - the distance between the two sides was still almost three hundred meters at the moment, and the lookout mirror could roughly see the other party's clothes and what they were carrying. . Judging from their clothing, these are indeed a group of desperate fugitives, but as the investigators said, most of them have a long or short cloth strip on their bodies, some on their backs, and some hanging on their backs. The waist feels strange no matter how you look at it.

It is human nature for refugees to take whatever property they can with them before fleeing. The First Army usually requires them to abandon their luggage and travel lightly, but in principle they will not interfere with things that will not cause trouble or inconvenience to the migration, such as golden dragons. In the past two months, Yu Wan has seen a lot of strange "family treasures", but this is the first time he has seen Bu Tiao.

But the closer he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

This group of refugees seemed to be dressed in rags, with shoes on their feet. And those rotten clothes didn't look old at all, but looked like they had been damaged recently.

The distance between the two sides has been shortened to within two hundred meters.

"Boom——"

Teammates fired warning shots.

The crowd dispersed immediately, and a scene appeared that made Yu Wan's blood freeze. Probably frightened by the gunfire, several people in the front row hurriedly opened the banner, and under the banner was the First Army Station. The standard rifle used!

This move seemed to set off a wave of excitement in the crowd, and others followed suit one after another. Those strips of cloth of different lengths were actually used to hide weapons. The items wrapped underneath them ranged from swords to halberds. .

He suddenly realized that this was a trap!

"Return to camp!" Yuwan shouted to his teammates, "Run!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of gunshots from the other side!

Yu Wan even heard the whizzing sound of bullets flying past his ears, and the surrounding grass splashed with strings of mud from time to time. The other nine people also reacted and turned around and rushed toward the camp——

The team has camped there several times. Although there are no bunkers and trenches, simple sand and stone forts still exist. It was originally built to ward off possible demons, but now it has become the only cover on the empty hillside.

By the time Yu Wan crawled and ran over into the camp, there was not a single standing teammate in the field. Compared with the constant gunshots from the opposite side, the counterattacks in the camp seemed very sporadic - compared to the nine people who set up the barricade. , the team of more than 40 people was obviously a more eye-catching target. When he thought that they were likely to encounter Zanshe without any precautions, Yuwan's heart was in his throat.

He grabbed Hansen and said, "Quick, go check on everyone!"

After the other party crouched down and ran away, he also raised his gun and aimed at the "refugees" who were surrounding him from all directions.

No... they are definitely not real refugees, but probably nobles who have surrendered to the devil!

Only the devil could obtain so many First Army weapons!

Damn it, Yuwan thought bitterly, he never expected that his kind would actually use refugees to set up such a trap - don't they understand at all whose accomplice they are?

"Squad leader," Hansen came back faster than he expected, within a few breaths, "Everyone is fine. Only one person was slightly injured and has been bandaged. It will not hinder the fight at all."

Yuwan couldn't help but be stunned, "Only one person was injured?" The gunshot just now was obviously so fierce.

"Yes," Hansen seemed to be relieved, "Luck seems to be on our side for the time being. Now that everyone has assigned their defensive positions, we will stick to it until the last moment!"
