Chapter 17 Nightmare

  Although Zhou Yue was carrying a woman, his speed was the fastest among everyone. Two or three minutes later, he caught up with Tang Kun and others who were running wildly in front of him. Only then did he slow down his pace to follow at the same speed, because at this distance, those two archers were already out of reach, and he didn't have more strength to maintain that extremely fast speed.

  But other survivors were not so lucky, after all, even the Yellow Turban swordsmen had 12 agility points, let alone those terrifying archers? So it's really hard to say how many of these five or six hundred survivors could escape.

  After more than ten minutes, Zhou Yue and his men were exhausted like dead dogs and escaped from the city. They arrived at the four military trucks that had been parked earlier. It was truly an icy fire, a feeling of being reborn. However, there were less than two hundred survivors who could follow them here. As for the rescue team led by Zhou Kun earlier, there were less than sixty people left. This was all due to the damage caused by just two archers!

  No one dared to hesitate, and everyone rushed onto the four military trucks. Those who couldn't squeeze on could only curse and run desperately behind. Fortunately, the distance from here to Qiaotou Town was only three kilometers. The two teams of Yellow Turbans and the two archers hiding among them chased out of the city area but didn't pursue further. However, everyone, including Zhou Yue, had been scared out of their wits.

  When Zhou Yue and his group returned to Qiaotou Town, the sky had completely darkened, but everyone looked like a drowned rat.

  The town of Qiaotou was still electrified, and in the afternoon, a large number of survivors who had fled here gathered, but by now they were less than half. It is certain that all of them have been transferred to Ning County through railway and highway, only many residents of Qiaotou Town did not escape, and many previously closed shops and restaurants started business in a strange way. Under the neon lights of those signboards, Zhou Yue and others who had just escaped from death really felt like they were dreaming.

  Other survivors were being driven to the train station in Qiaotou Town like cattle, and they had to withdraw to Ning County overnight. After all, the Yellow Turban Army was only three kilometers away, and who knew if they would suddenly launch an attack? In comparison, Zhou Yue and other recruited survivors finally began to enjoy the privileges of being soldiers. They were arranged to stay in a few spacious offices in the town government, not a hotel, but there were sofas and quilts. Perhaps it was to control these recruited survivors, their small team formations had not been disbanded. He Ming and three other soldiers stayed with Zhou Yue in a larger office, while the other three teams occupied other offices.

  At this time, Zhou Yue relaxed a bit and found that their third squad now had only twelve people left, including the woman he had rescued.

  Because Zhou Yue had already risen to level 3, he was the first person in this third small team, so he directly occupied a very luxurious suite of sofas in the room and threw the half-dead woman on it. Others, including Zhao Dashan and Li Dan, saw it but could only purse their lips and say nothing. Zhao Dashan's girlfriend, Zhang Ying, who had also come back to life, looked at the genuine leather sofa with envy, pouted her mouth, and pulled Zhao Dashan's sleeve, obviously wanting to sit on the sofa as well. After all, this was the only comfortable place in the room, and the single sofas had been moved away. The thrilling experience of the past four or five hours had exhausted her.

  However, Zhao Dashan didn't dare to touch Zhou Yue's head now. He had 17 strength, but Zhou Yue already had 18 agility, plus the evil ghost dagger. If they really fought, Zhou Yue could cut his throat in one second without him even reacting, and guarantee that he wouldn't leave any health points behind!

  This is absolute speed suppression.

  However, except for Zhou Yue, Zhao Dashan was not afraid of anyone else. He darkened his face and directly snatched over a large office desk, then spread several quilts on it, and only then did he invite Zhang Ying to come up with a sly smile.

  As for the others, they could only grab a blanket each and lie down on the ground, previously they hadn't rested much in the past four or five hours, later they were scared out of their wits, so at this moment they didn't even bother to change their clothes which were stained with blood and flesh, and just lay there motionless.

  Zhou Yue was equally exhausted, as he had not eaten since waking up at 11 am. If it weren't for constantly replenishing himself with apples, he estimated that his stomach would have been empty long ago. However, to be honest, he really didn't feel like eating right now. The past four or five hours of slaughter seemed to have numbed him from the inside out.

  She glanced at the woman who had been rescued, and found that she had already woken up at some point, but seemed to be in a state of extreme fear. As soon as she saw Zhou Yue looking over, she immediately closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare move. Her hair, which had become like a messy heap of rotten grass, made her look extremely ugly.

  Zhou Yue, however, was too lazy to bother with her. The reason he had rescued her earlier was simply because he was overjoyed at obtaining the evil spirit's dagger, so he had carried her and run for several miles. Now that they were in a safe place, he could send her away early tomorrow morning, and he would have done his duty as a good person.

  She pushed the woman onto the sofa, and Zhou Yue sat down with a plop, wrapped in the elastic sofa, it was so comfortable, of course, if she could take a hot bath at this moment, it would be even better.

  It's just that Zhou Yue also understood that it was impossible, they were already on the front line of war, and being able to provide electricity was already very good. Now in this Bridge Town, apart from some stubborn people who refused to leave their hometown, the rest were all people like them. So who cares about hot water baths? Haven't you seen that no one is even preparing food now? People are on edge, it's already not bad that they can maintain this state.

  With a sigh, Zhou Yue took out a piece of coarse flatbread from her backpack. It was rough and hard like a stone, but it could alleviate hunger for a day, much better than compressed biscuits!

  She crunched on it twice, and Zhou Yue's heart moved slightly. She turned around to glance at the woman who was curled up into a ball, thought for a moment, then took out three recovery apples and a piece of coarse flatbread from her backpack and tossed them over to her. After that, she ignored her and silently finished off the coarse flatbread that really didn't taste good.

  At this time, others in the room also took out biscuits and started eating them. This afternoon's rescue was a great success, as almost everyone who was still alive got a lot of apples and biscuits, making it a bountiful harvest.

  However, everyone's face was very heavy, and the reason was naturally that the two archers of the Yellow Turban Army had left a deep shadow on all of them at the last moment. I estimate that someone is even thinking about escaping now.

  "Zhou - Big Brother Zhou, I - My name is Fang Changzai, how are you so formidable? Were you originally skilled in martial arts?"

  At this time, the tall and thin student suddenly stuttered to ask Zhou Yue, he also added all his free points to agility, just like Zhou Yue. When they started attacking in the afternoon, they were still on the same starting line, but it had only been over an hour, and Zhou Yue already had 18 points of agility and had leveled up to level 3, leaving him far behind, so he was probably also very puzzled!

  While Fang Chang is often puzzled, it's also everyone's puzzle, including Zhao Dashan and Li Dan. They are considered to have witnessed Zhou Yue's growth with their own eyes, but Zhou Yue has risen rapidly under their noses, and his strength is still so strong. Can this not make them feel strange?

  "Are you skilled in martial arts?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue let out a laugh. Just a few hours ago, he was still a depressed loser. He shook his head and sighed to the other person, "Actually, I'm no different from you, there's nothing special about me. I just have a bit more guts and better luck, that's all. It's like our previous 13-point agility. Just because you add free points to your agility attribute doesn't mean you can fly over rooftops. It's not that simple. To put it simply, for a very complex action, 10 points of agility might struggle to accomplish it, while 13 points of agility can do it easily. However, if it's a simple action, then whether it's 10 or 13 points of agility, the result will be the same, there's no difference. So, in order to bring out your 13 points of agility, you must train more and explore on your own, then it'll be easy to achieve what I have. There's no secret to this, do you understand?"
