Chapter 1373 The Taste of Blood
A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Dianping Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads! "Name? Where does it come from?"
"Nolan, this is my brother, Bunus, we are from Frozen Town."
Facing the checkpoint inspector's inquiry, Negan Murray replied casually.
Although before arriving at Sinking Bay, the two of them had already heard that it was best to tell the truth to the inspectors in Graycastle, otherwise they might run into big trouble after arriving in the south, but they had no intention of going to Graycastle from the beginning. .
As long as they pass through Cage Mountain, they will reach the territory of the Dawn Kingdom, where there are large villages and towns where they can hide. With their strength, the two of them are not worried about their future lives.
Therefore, it is less likely to attract attention by pretending to be a commoner along the way than a noble.
They had even discussed it long ago. They could usually find a position as a guard or patrol member with the lord. They would have a decent status during the day and their free time at night. As long as you stay at those remote crossings, you won't have to worry about finding lone fugitives.
Just like they did in eternal winter.
"Oh? It's quite far away from Sinking Bay," the inspector said while recording. "Did the news of the devil's defeat spread so quickly? Among the escapees, there are really not many northerners like you."
Negan was slightly shocked. Judging from his appearance and attire, he was clearly an ordinary person. However, most of the ordinary people he had seen only knew the place where he was staying. The word "well-informed" came with They have no chance. But the people from Graycastle in front of them not only knew about Frozen Town, they also told how far away this little-known town was!
"Really...? I also heard it from a businessman friend. It won't be long before the number of people coming from Eternal Winter will increase, right?"
While he answered, he was also secretly glad that the town he chose was not far from Wolf Heart. If it was Xueying Castle located in the north of Everwinter, it would probably arouse the other party's suspicion.
"I hope so." The inspector looked at Talos Mori, "By the way, can you lift the hood on your brother's face?"
"He has been scratched by wild animals. It is not easy to show others..."
"Sorry, but this is a rule. If there are obvious characteristics, I must write a report."
Negan frowned.
Damn, it's just a watchdog.
The eldest brother is a officially canonized knight!
If he were in the wild, he would definitely pull out this guy's tongue alive!
"Okay, it's no big deal." Talos Murray answered coldly, "It's just a quick look." He lifted up his face towel, revealing the lower half of his rolled and twisted cheeks. It was probably too scary, and the inspector also He couldn't help but take a step back, and everyone around him let out a gasp. But even so, the Graycastle people still persisted in completing the record.
"Then...this is your nameplate," he handed two pieces of metal to Negan. "As the only proof of exchange for a new identity, remember not to lose it. Now go to the detention area and wait."
This guy is scared.
Negan took the nameplate and sneered in his heart.
The eldest brother's expression seemed calm, but in fact he had murderous intentions. This kind of aura tempered by sword fighting was simply not something that ordinary people could bear. Coupled with his current ferocious appearance, his intimidation power has increased several times. If the opponent did not fall to the ground, it was already an outstanding performance.
It's a pity that this place is never a place for big troubles. There are Graycastle soldiers stationed at the checkpoint with guns. No matter how powerful they are, they can't escape the invisible iron crossbow.
"Let's go." Talos put down his turban and nodded.
"Yes," Negan pushed through the crowd and entered the port terminal first. But soon, his pace slowed down. "Brother, they are trying to pretend everyone is away..."
Talos also noticed the arrangements of the Graycastle people.
The original plan of getting through the levels and then finding a chance to act alone sounded good, but the other party didn't give the refugees a chance to disperse at all. From the entry checkpoint to the detention area, they are basically surrounded by brightly colored cloth strips. As long as the seemingly sparse refugees follow the cloth strips, they will be guided into the pier and board a large ship docked on the shore. .
Although the cloth strips do not have any restrictive effect, the patrolling Graycastle soldiers do - they linger near the streets. If two people cross the cloth strips and escape from the crowd, those guys will never turn a blind eye.
The biggest gap with the vision is undoubtedly the city itself.
The core area of Shenchi Bay is full of ruins. Not to mention the residents, not even a single intact house can be found. This not only makes them lose the possibility of blending in with the local residents, but also makes it extremely difficult to hide their whereabouts. Things.
This is completely different from Eternal Winter!
It was obvious that they were all occupied by demons, but whether it was Xueying Castle or other cities, they were basically intact. Unexpectedly, their appearance completely changed in the south.
"What should we do?" Negan couldn't help showing a hint of anxiety. Once he boarded the ship, he could only resign himself to his fate. If they head directly to Graycastle, won't they have nowhere to escape?
Staying where you are is obviously not an option. For the fugitives, they all hope to leave the devil-infested territory as soon as possible. If they hesitate to move forward, they will also be targeted by patrollers.
"You are just too impatient, that's why you have never been able to get His Majesty's canonization." Talos Mori exhaled, "Walk slowly and don't stop. The dock area is so big, it is impossible for the Graycastle people to make it seamless. Look, Judging from their number, we can tell that there are no more than a hundred people at most. As long as we look for them carefully, we will definitely have a chance to escape."
Hearing what his brother said, Negan gradually calmed down.
No matter how crazy the elder brother is when he kills people, he is as calm as ice before enjoying the victory. As long as you follow his instructions, there is no threshold that you can't cross.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Negan Murray found an opportunity.
"Brother, look over there!" he exclaimed in a low voice.
"...Incredible." Talos observed for a while and nodded in agreement. "I have to say that the people of Graycastle are indeed extraordinary in their evil ways. They can even carry carriages to such an extent."
I saw more than ten four-wheeled carts sitting in the corner of the pier. Their size was extremely astonishing, and the cargo they carried was not comparable to that of ordinary carriages. The food and other supplies needed by the refugees seemed to be provided by them. At least there were many porters shuttled between the dock and the four-wheelers, transporting bags of goods to the sea ships.
The crowds there were more mixed and overlapped with the holding area, so it wasn't too difficult to get close to the vehicles.
But even if they get to the car, it doesn't mean they can escape the control of the Graycastle people - unless they can run past the firearms, sooner or later they will be overtaken by the patrols who respond.
The only feasible way is to escape by carjacking.
Although these four-wheeled vehicles were large, they still required a person to drive them, and unlike horse-drawn carriages, the driver seemed to be wrapped up in the front of the vehicle. In other words, they have the opportunity to hijack a driver without being discovered.
Negan and Talos looked at each other and instantly confirmed each other's thoughts.
Using the cover formed by the huge car body, he found the vehicle that was about to leave, then pointed the dagger at the driver's throat, and the next thing fell into place.
The two immediately took action.
And the whole process can be described as a near miss.
Although many porters noticed the two people walking further and further away, the most they could do was remind them of the direction to board the ship, and no one came up to check them. They also pretended to be attracted by the giant vehicle at the right time, and easily deceived the busy crowd - after all, everyone had their own things to do, and no one wanted to cause more trouble.
As soon as they entered the blind spot, Negan and Talos quickly bent down and ran close to the car body, and soon approached the vehicles that had been loaded and unloaded outside.
Seeing that they were only one step away from the success of their plan.
At this moment, a curious inquiry suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"who are you?"
Negan suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
He turned around suddenly and saw a woman wearing a cloak behind him.
The other party tilted his head, and the hanging brim of his pocket covered most of his face.
He reached for his waist, but Talos secretly suppressed him, "I'm sorry... We are escapees from Frozen Town. We wanted to get closer to see these amazing creations, but we didn't expect to end up all the way here."
"I see, refugees..." The woman smiled, but had no intention of leaving, "But why is the smell of blood on you so strong?"
