Above the gray fog

The gray-black land was covered with various trees. The ground was not flat, and there were often earth slopes and sunken potholes. Countless people walked with difficulty, with fear on their faces, and fear contained a trace of expectation for the future.

The team of tens of thousands of people lined up in a long dragon. On both sides, there was a pseudo-supernatural guarding the surroundings at intervals.

At the front of the team, Lin Shan followed the markings on the parchment and moved forward along the nearest route. The advantage of having the clan weapon was that he no longer had to worry about the gray fog blocking his sight. The disadvantage was that without the gray fog, he would lose the natural protective layer and even disturb all the weird and evil fallen swept by the barrier.

At this time, the weird was okay. If you don't get close to its territory, the weird rarely moved actively. The evil fell was the most difficult to deal with and they would attack actively.

It was only ten kilometers until noon, and there was no danger along the way, because the place he passed was originally the territory of the human race, which had been cleared before. If he walked further, he would step into a strange territory.

After a half-hour break at noon, a group of people ate the dry food that had been prepared long ago. After eating, they continued to speed up their journey. They had to walk 30 kilometers today.

Just after stepping out of the previous tribe area.

"Ah!" A scream came from the crowd.

Then the screams continued.

"What is this?"

"Snake? Or a bug?"

Lin Shan frowned, looking at the long yellow bug struggling in his hand, with dense tentacles-like feet and a row of compound eyes on its forehead, which looked particularly creepy.

This is just an ordinary bug, and ordinary people can kill it, but there are too many of them, and they are also poisonous. Lin Shan has seen someone stung to the ground and died a moment later.

Lin Shan clenched his fist at the void, and all the bugs within a hundred meters in front of him exploded into a pool of yellow blood.

But it was useless. This large-scale attack directly consumed one-fifth of his spiritual power, but the crowd was several miles long, and the bugs were just cleared away and the ones behind them continued to fall one after another.

Many more people fell to the ground, and everyone was desperately stamping their feet on the bugs, with screams and cries mixed with each other.

Lin Shan was unmoved, and disappeared in the next second.

Thousands of meters away from the crowd, several long bugs over three meters long were lying here, with strong spiritual fluctuations emerging from their bodies.

Suddenly, one of the long bugs screamed shrilly, and its whole body was ignited by a light red flame, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

Seeing this, the other two long bugs made sharp sounds like nails rubbing against glass. After a while, densely packed miniature bugs emerged from the ground and surrounded them.

"It's them!"

He felt something was wrong when he caught the small bug in his hand before. It was obviously just an ordinary bug, but there was a faint spirituality flashing on its body occasionally.

Lin Shan looked for the direction where the bugs came out, and saw these three evil fallen, who looked exactly like those small bugs.

After burning one to death, he clenched his hands towards the other worms, trying to control the blood in their bodies, but found that it was useless, and only made the worm's body tense and twitch slightly.

"The supernatural power is still too weak." Lin Shan said to himself.

Immediately, he continued to use the red lantern and directly burned the remaining two to ashes. Every second of delay could result in someone's death. After ending the battle in the fastest way, Lin Shan returned to the team.

At this moment, the team has returned to normal. Those worms have lost control and all burrowed back into the soil.

"Wu Xing... wake up, Wu Xing!"

"Little sister, please open your eyes, we will have a good life later, and we don't have to worry every day."

"I knew... I knew that someone would die... We only walked such a short distance, and so many people died..."

Complaints like this broke out in the entire team.

"Keep moving forward." Lin Shan said lightly.

"What?" Someone immediately said unhappily: "Why don't we deal with their bodies? How can we let them be thrown into the wilderness?"

"That's right!"

"What pioneer? Isn't it that they traveled earlier than us and got extraordinary powers by luck? How can they lead the human race if they are so cold and ruthless?"

"That's right. You are only in your twenties. What can you say about leading the human race?"

"Who gave you the right? You threatened us with your power and said you would lead us to survive. Now? One hundred thousand people have died! Now these people are dying in front of them, but they turned a blind eye. Do you still have a heart?"

The crowd was getting more and more chaotic. So many people died in front of them, which was too shocking for them.

Lin Shan watched all this coldly. People's hearts are complicated. He didn't want to explain anything.

Still said to the pseudo-super soldier next to him lightly: "Notify them. If anyone wants to stay here to collect their bodies, stay here. Others continue to walk."

"Yes." The man saluted, ran back quickly, and shouted Lin Shan's words loudly. Another soldier continued to pass on the message about a distance of about two hundred meters.

There are very few pseudo-superhumans on the human side, but each of them has survived the battlefield after strict screening. Only by seeing the real bloodshed can you understand that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, and others can only move on.

However, there is one thing they said that is right. Now all power is in the hands of the pioneers, and it is completely oppressive by force. All pseudo-superhumans are their confidants, and ordinary people have no way to resist.

But this is also the best way to reduce losses. Unanimity with the outside world is better than civil strife. At least, Lin Shan agrees with this approach. In this case, talking about democracy is simply risking your life. In this extraordinary world, if there is no absolute power The cat clan is the best example of suppression, because a very small number of people fight for rights, causing the development of the entire clan to stagnate.

Five minutes later, the team moved on.

Surprisingly, no one wanted to stay, and those who had clamored before silently lowered their heads. Some were wiping tears or resenting Lin Shan in their hearts, but they all took steps to continue to follow.

It wasn't until the red moon rose in the evening that he stopped. On the way, he encountered two strange attacks and several attacks by the Evil Fallen Group. Lin Shan avoided all the strange areas in advance, but the Evil Fallen could not avoid them, and the number of people in the team remained constant. is decreasing. Thousands, perhaps more, may have been sacrificed in such a day.

"Let people gather together and don't spread out too much." Lin Shan warned. Everything was strange at night and it might be dangerous to stay where he was. Lin Shan flew into the air and kept vigilant around him.

He was afraid that something strange that only appeared at night would suddenly appear in the crowd.

Suddenly, Lin Shan felt cold all over and stared fiercely at a certain space. The space there was shaking like ripples in the water, as if something was about to come out.

"I'm really afraid of what will happen!"

The red light flashed twice and he teleported twice, and he appeared in that unusual location out of thin air.

He mustered up all his strength and shouted loudly:

"Spread out and stay away from me!"

"If you don't want to die, hurry up!!"
