Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 133: Survival in the Ancient World (2)

While the hungry people were eating, Lin Yu looked towards the Daliang City with its gates closed in the distance. He suddenly realized that there were no guards on the city gates today. Something must have happened in Daliang City.

After eating the steamed buns, the hungry people surrendered to Lin Yu obediently. To them, whoever can feed them and let them live a good life is the boss.

Lin Yu looked at them and sighed, "Are you all full?"

"I'm full, thank you, thank you." The hungry people felt that it was a blessing to have something to eat, so how could they dare to be greedy? What's more, they were in awe of the young man's ability to take things out of thin air after seeing it with their own eyes.

"Now that you're full, let's rest in peace. We had to do this in the past, but... don't do it again."

"Wuwuwuwu... My stone..."

"Liu Niang..."

"go away……"

"Mother...wife...I'm sorry!..."

"Dad...I am an unfilial son..."

……

For a while, cries and shouts resounded throughout Mantou Mountain. People buried the bodies of their relatives and friends nearby. They also knelt in front of the graves for a long time that day until their bodies could no longer bear it.

Lin Yu silently recited the Sutra of Rebirth, praying for the rest of the deceased's soul.

As night fell, Lin Yu took out another portion of food, just enough for the hungry people to eat half full.

"You stay here. I plan to go into Daliang City and take a look. I found something unusual in Daliang City today. I'm going to take a look at the situation so that we can prepare for our future plans."

"Boss, I'll go with you."

"Boss, take us with you."

Those who stood up and wanted to follow were three teenagers of about eleven or twelve and a man in his thirties.

This man was one of the only ones who protected his wife and didn't exchange her food with others. The rest of the teenagers were orphans. If Lin Yu hadn't provided food, they might have become food one day. It was really that the 11 or 12-year-olds were tortured like children of 8 or 9.

Lin Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement. It would be good to have someone to help. But the thin arms and legs of these people made people tremble.

"Okay, you guys wait for me near the city gate. I'll pick you up if anything happens."

Lin Yu also brought Hu Zi and Ya Ya with him. He was really worried about leaving two five-year-old children with them. After all, some people would inevitably have bad thoughts after eating human flesh. This was one of the reasons why those people suggested to follow Lin Yu.

Lin Yu brought a few people to the city gate under the cover of night. As expected, there were no guards there. It was pitch black without even a torch.

Although the weather in early spring was still a little chilly, Lin Yu could still smell a faint stench near the city gate.

"This smell is a bit familiar. Damn, isn't this the stench of a corpse?"

Lin Yu quickly stepped back. The man in his thirties was called Yan Ping. He asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"Something must have happened in Daliang City. Many people are probably dead inside. Maybe if we are a little bolder, there will be no one inside."

"How is that possible? There were guards at the city gate the day before yesterday... No, yesterday, they didn't seem to come out yesterday."

Lin Yu thought that if there were corpses everywhere, there would be an epidemic in the spring, but the clothes on the men were ragged and they had nothing to cover their mouths and noses.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. I have pills in my treasure bag. If things really don’t work, I can protect the people who follow me.

So he took out eight more pills and distributed them to several people.

"Eat it to prevent diseases."

Hu Zi and Ya Ya swallowed it obediently. The other five looked at each other and stuffed it into their mouths. Since they chose Lin Yu as the leader, they naturally believed in him.

Lin Yu handed Hu Zi and Ya Ya to Qin Su, Yan Ping's wife, to take care of them. He and four other men tried to push the city gate, but found it wouldn't open.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "Wait for me at the gate first. I'll go in and open the door for you."

"Boss, how do we get up here? It's so high."

"You can't get in with guards, but you can still get in without guards."

Lin Yu took out the Flying Tiger Claw from his treasure bag, swung the tiger claw hard to grab the city wall, and then he quickly climbed up by pulling the rope.

Yan Ping immediately pulled and tried, but unfortunately he had been hungry for too long and was extremely weak, so he had to give up and wait for Lin Yu to open the door.

Lin Yu went up to the city gate tower and saw the guards lying on the ground in a twisted state. They had been dead for two days. Lin Yu covered his nose unconsciously. It was obvious that it was a plague.

Just as he was about to leave the city gate, he suddenly heard the faint groaning of mosquitoes and flies.

Lin Yu looked at the soldier lying on the ground at his feet, making sure that the man was still breathing. He squatted down to check the situation, and after thinking for a while, he decided to rescue him. After all, people are also a resource in this world.

After feeding the soldier a resurrection pill, the soldier's condition stabilized, and Lin Yu simply carried the man down from the city gate tower.

"Ahem...who are you? Did you save me? Let's go! Everyone is dead! There is a plague in Daliang City..."

"I know you're fine now after taking the medicine. When you recover, tell me about Daliang City."

The soldier fainted immediately after he finished speaking. He couldn't help but feel sick and hungry for two days. Fortunately, Lin Yu's elixir saved his life.

Lin Yu came down and opened the city gate to let Yan Ping and others in.

"Boss, what's going on?" Gou'er asked, looking at the fallen city gate guard.

"I just saved a man who was still breathing. He was saying sporadically that there was a plague in Daliang City and everyone had died."

"What? Plague?" In panic, several people covered their mouths and noses and retreated.

Lin Yu: "The pills I gave you just now are for preventing diseases, so come in."

Only then did a few people follow in tremblingly. Lin Yu picked up the guard again and slowly walked towards the yamen.

However, wherever he passed, the doors of the houses were closed and there was no sound at all. There were also corpses lying on the ground in groups of three or two.

Judging from the situation, Daliang City was not only plagued by plague, but also by famine, similar to the situation they had seen in Mantou Mountain. Some people were even holding severed human limbs. Lin Yu thought that cannibalism was also happening in Daliang City. His mood became even heavier.

When he arrived at the yamen, Lin Yu was really shocked by the desolate scene. The spider webs entangled there made it look like no one had been there for a long time, which made Lin Yu very strange.

He set the guard aside and made arrangements.

"Each of you go back and give them this bottle of pills, and then bring them to Daliang City."

"I'll go back. I can run fast." The dog took the medicine bottle and ran outside.

Lin Yu and a few others searched the yamen inside and out. Seeing that there was no danger, he let Qin Su and her two children stay there temporarily.

"Yan Ping, I'm not entirely sure about the exact situation in the city right now, but I think there aren't many people left. Gou'er will bring someone in soon. Split up and search around, carrying out the dead and placing them. If you find anyone still breathing, bring them all to the government office. I'll give you a bottle of medicine, but give the living ones first."

"Yes, Boss. What do you want?"

"That's right. Mantou Mountain isn't a good place to stay for long. I originally wanted to lead everyone to find another way out, but Daliang City has become a dead city now. If we just occupy it, we'll have a place to stay. We'll just have to wait and see. It's been two days and no one has come to Daliang City to take over. Either it's been abandoned, or something happened."

"I see. I'll arrange it shortly."

"Well, when the people arrive, make sure they have enough food and water. Carrying a dead body is hard work, so if they can't move, let them stay there first. Clean up some empty rooms and arrange for them to move in first."

"Okay, then I'll let Niu Wa and the others clean up a few empty houses first."

"Go."
