Two months later, outside Moshi City...

The falling snow turned the entire Moshi City and the ground thousands of miles outside Moshi City into a land of ice and snow.

In the heavy snow, the refugee settlements outside the city seemed to have stopped, and they were not as noisy as before.

Because of the heavy snow, the supply of materials in Moshi City, especially in various refugee camps and settlements, began to become tight. Under the strict rationing system, the refugees who came here received less and less food every day, and they could barely afford it.

There were trembling people everywhere in those tents.

Strong men, in order to survive, were all recruited. They either joined the training camp of Grindstone City, took up arms after training, and joined the city defense team. Those who were still able to work went to work and transported supplies.

To build fortifications and undertake logistical tasks, women in refugee camps and settlements also gathered together and began to do their best to sew winter clothes and quilts, or go to the city after training to make some factories in the city originally

Take over the work done by the men.

Few people know that most of the rifles and bullets produced in the military factories of Grindstone City are made by women.

As for the half-grown children and orphans, they were sent to the rear in batches.

When winter came, all the families in the northern continent opened recruitment points in Grindstone City last month to recruit children under the age of fourteen, regardless of gender.

Only a harsh living environment can allow a family to endure the pain of life, separation, and death, and allow a mother or father to leave their children to an unknown fate.

The big families know this very well. At this time, they can take away the children outside Moshi City at the smallest cost, or even at no cost.

In a war, the population is worthless on the front line, but in the rear, the population is a valuable human resource. These children also have their value. With a little training, they can become soldiers, workers, and even family members.

This is to divert the refugee settlements in Moshi City, reduce the material pressure on Moshi City, and objectively preserve the strength of the human race on this planet. Those big families have a tacit understanding with each other, and the White Deer family uses this method.

, in exchange for material support from those big families, with a tacit understanding of each other.

In the cold wind, this kind of exchange happens all the time. The heartbreaking cries of a family when they are separated can be heard from time to time in the refugee settlements. Also in this cold wind, the body collection teams outside the city

, every morning some stiff corpses can be dragged away from those alleys, or from certain corners of the settlements, or even from the doorways of tents.

Those corpses all fell asleep outside after drinking at night. Just one day was enough for their bodies to become as stiff as firewood, and they would never wake up again.

A month ago, a ban on alcohol was promulgated in Moshi City, and alcohol has been listed as a controlled substance. However, no matter how strict the control is, it cannot stop some people's love for alcohol. Smuggled alcohol made from sweet potatoes is rampant.

Liquor, which is blended with medical alcohol, has also become a hot commodity on the black market.

Some people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and then get themselves drunk and hot, lie in the wind and snow, and die without pain or consciousness.

This seems to be a way for some people to escape reality and find relief.

A month ago, with the arrival of the first snow, the Zerg army gradually approached Grindstone City.

Outside several defense lines and fortresses more than 100 kilometers south of Grindstone City, the rumbling sound of artillery can be heard since a month ago. The number and frequency of fighter planes taking off and landing at Grindstone City and the rear airport are increasing.

On the railways leading to the front lines and fortresses, trains transport carloads of supplies almost every day.

The supplies consumed on the front line are very huge. As the snow on the ground has accumulated thicker and thicker in the past few days, I heard that the Zerg's attack on the ground has slowed down, but the attack underground has become more intense.

Just two days ago, three man-eating bugs appeared outside the city. They bit two people to death and were shot dead by the patrol members who arrived.

The damage caused by the three man-eating bugs was not great, but it was enough to cause panic in Grindstone City. Everyone knew that the Zerg were coming. The situation Grindstone City is encountering now is similar to that of all the fallen cities.

The situation is the same. The man-eating insects are just sentinels and advance teams of the Zerg army. After the man-eating insects, as the front line of defense is breached, more and more man-eating insects will appear outside the city, and then the knife

Beetles, flying fire bugs, arrow bugs and other terrifying bugs will appear one after another...

No one thinks that a small Grindstone City and the White Deer Family can resist the attack of the Zerg army. The only question is how long Grindstone City can resist and how much price the Zerg will pay here.

As the fighting on the front outside Grindstone City intensified, more and more mercenaries and adventurers gathered in Grindstone City from the rear.

Zerg means insect crystals, which are very valuable, and chaos, for many people, also means opportunities to make a fortune. In troubled times, there will never be a shortage of these blood-licking people, and many mercenaries come here.

What the adventurers want to do is to fight before the Zerg completely annihilates Grindstone City, then evacuate and look for the next opportunity...

Most of these mercenaries and adventurers took the train and arrived with various supplies sent by the Bailu family to Moshi City. With the road blocked by heavy snow, the train station located to the north of Moshi City has become even more lively in the past few days.

There is an endless stream of vehicles, materials and people going to and from the train station every day.

When Chao Yi stepped out of the train carriage, it was afternoon. Snow was still falling in the sky. The awning of the train platform was already covered with thick snow. Workers were removing the snow. He was wearing a thick windbreaker.

With bulging bags and weapons, Chao Yi wore a dog-skin hat that adventurers love most on his head that could cover his face. He scanned the backward and chaotic place in front of him with sharp eyes.

If it weren't for Wang Wuyin, Chao Yi would not have set foot on this backward planet that is still in the stage of biosphere civilization. To him, everything here is no different from primitive society, even the coveted insect crystals on this planet.

He is not curious either. The Chao family in Dajiao City on Guanlan Planet has many profitable industries. As long as they can be purchased with a few stars, they are not precious to him.

After arriving at Clay Luxing, he realized that he had fallen into Wang Wuyin's scheme. He was forced to come here without any preparation for a life-or-death duel with Wang Wuyin, but the situation at that time forced him to

Come.

The message Wang Wuyin sent on the mission information forum after he arrived here suddenly pushed him into a corner. Everyone who came to this planet to perform the mission could see it and caused a heated discussion. The news even reached Guanlan Planet, Chao

The head of the family is running for membership in the Guanlan Star Council. This news has already affected the reputation of the Chao family and the head of the family's campaign.

The elders of the Chao family and his father personally contacted him to inquire about this matter. The elder Chao's tone was particularly harsh. The money for the reward for Wang Wuyin was not paid by him, but directly transferred from the Chao family's family fund.

of.

Wang Wuyin cannot be allowed to leave here alive. This is the death order given by the Chao family to Chao Yi.

The Chao family has spent a lot of resources on Guanlan Star to eliminate the impact of this incident.

At this point, the matter is no longer a personal grudge between him and Wang Wuyuan. The unknown person has become a shadow and stain on the Chao family's halo, which must be removed and repaired as soon as possible.

Only he knows the pressure Chao Yi is under.

There were footsteps behind him, Chao Yi turned his face, squinted his eyes and glanced at the stooped old man who looked a bit wretched under the thick cloak, "Are you sure that that person is really here?

"

The old man didn't speak. He just looked around with a pair of sneaky eyes like a mouse. Then he reached out and took out two pieces of tortoise shell from his sleeves. He put them together in his hands, muttered something in his mouth, and then shook the tortoise shell. There was a splash in the tortoise shell.

There was a noise, and after a few seconds, the old man opened the tortoise shell. Inside the tortoise shell were several ancient coins the size of thumbs.

The old man fiddled with the ancient coins in the tortoise shell with his long nails, and nodded affirmatively, "In or near this city, I haven't left yet..."

"Can it be more accurate?"

"My tortoise-shell magic number can lock a person here on such a huge planet, which is already the limit. Unless he is a god, no one can know everything and have omnipotence. As long as he knows that he is here, Master Chao should be able to find him."

It's not difficult!" At this point, the old man licked his lips, rolled his little eyes, showed a greedy look, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Chao, then my money..."

"As long as I find Wang Wuyin here, I will not lose a cent of the 500,000 star yuan I promised you..." Chao Yi said coldly.

"Of course, of course, the Chao family will not break their promise just for this little money..." the old man chuckled.

"Go to work and find that person..." Chao Yi said to the four cold-looking people standing behind the old man.

The four people nodded and left without saying a word...

Those four people came from a small sect called the Blood Shadow Sect in the Dayu Empire. The Chao family knew that they were on Nigulu Planet through connections, so they directly found their sect and asked them to cooperate with Chao Yi to get rid of Wang Wuyin here.

…

Are the Chao family still worried that they cannot complete such a task?

When he thought that the Chao family actually wanted to find someone to "help" him, Chao Yi felt as if he had eaten a fly, but he could not refuse such a thing.

Wang Wuyin, I want to see where you can hide...
