Star of Civilization

"That's right... she was right."

While the two were talking, another voice came from the car.

Joyna turned her head and saw that it was a scrawny man with sunken eyes. He climbed to the edge of the wire mesh and grabbed the woman's shoulder with his arm, as if the relationship between the two was very unusual.

"We, we should apologize to you. I said it a long time ago...but they don't listen, hey." Although the man's eyes were cloudy and his body was weak, it could be seen that his reason was still there, and his thoughts were still clear. .

"Oh, sorry?"

After saying this, Joyna was silent for a moment, her eyes never leaving the man's face, and she slowly approached the iron cage.

"Then tell me, why are you apologizing?"

"We don't know who you are, and why are you so powerful," the thin man swallowed hard, his eyes darkening. "But you saved us from some... demons. At first we thought..."

"Humph—" Joyna snorted coldly.

"Yes, at first we thought you were a killer, because you killed those sand gangsters, it seems that we misunderstood you. In fact, there are some things you don't know... We are here voluntarily, because we are... Yes Stowaway."

At this time, another man in ragged clothes also leaned over. His face was full of stubble, his face was sallow, and there was still a lot of food residue on his mouth, and he opened his mouth before wiping it off.

"What did you say?" Joyna's face changed.

Hearing the conversation between Joyina and the others, more people crawled to the edge of the iron net, and a haggard face emerged from the shadows.

Their eyes are no longer fear and confusion, but full of hope of living - anyone can see it.

"Stowaway?"

Joyner narrowed her eyes, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.

She looked up at the sky just to take a breath of the dry, fresh air, to calm her mind, and to get away from the dampness and bitterness for a while.

These people actually said they were stowaways.

"We should have told you the truth long ago, but...you know, we couldn't have come here without the sand bandits..." said a slightly older man. "I think, you shouldn't be from this place, are you?"

"Yes, I'm not from here. But so what?" Joyna dropped a cold sentence. "Tell me the truth, what do you mean by stowaways?"

"We can't live for a long time." The old man kept shaking his head.

"That's right, we left our hometown because we couldn't survive." Many people gathered around and talked about their experiences.

"Our village was destroyed by demons pouring out of the ground not long ago, and everyone fled. But they won't survive long in the wilderness. They may have died long ago. Only I survived by hiding in the ruins."

"What happened to me is similar to what happened to him. If the sand bandits hadn't found me later, I would have died in the wilderness like everyone else."

"We have no other way. If we want to leave the wilderness and survive, we must go to the crowded village."

"I decided to go with them after betting everything. Because they promised to take us to the hidden sand castle, even if they sold me as a slave, I didn't want to die in the wild and become bones."

"My man was killed and his last wish was for me to escape."

"The sand bandits said that the only safe place is in the iron net, and everyone who goes out will be killed."

"Yeah, don't talk about slaves, I will do whatever you want, as long as I can survive!"

Everyone's words were full of sadness and helplessness, as well as endless grief. When they met Joyna, it was as if they had met a savior, and they soon began to vomit bitterly.

From their messy conversation, Joyner got a general understanding of the situation, and the more she listened, the more shocked she became.

It turned out that the reason why these people voluntarily followed the sand bandits and were at the mercy of them was because they wanted to live in hidden sand castles. Those traffickers used giant hemp grass to control the prisoners in order to protect their "property" from harm.

Most of them have suffered a lot of torture, and they struggled to survive after nine deaths, and because they were afraid to tell the truth, they had no regrets even if they knew that they would become slaves.

Some of them lost their homes and were taken captive by sand bandits while wandering in the wilderness; some volunteered to give all their belongings, only to ask the sand bandits to take them away from the place of death; bandit.

The sand bandits have weapons and vehicles in their hands to keep everyone safe, and promise them to go to an oasis in the desert...

"So it was," Joyner said. "So you're all voluntary?"

"Yes, we are completely voluntary, there is no other way." Everyone nodded.

"It's the same with everyone. If you want to get to the oasis alive, you have to follow their orders."

"They said that Hidden Sand Castle will not accept outsiders like us for no reason, and must use smuggling to ensure the safety of everyone."

These people are telling the truth, but Joyna has countless doubts in her heart.

"What the **** are those demons? Where did they come from?" Joyner asked.

Joyna didn't believe in any demons at first, but when she remembered what was hidden under the yellow sand last night, she didn't believe it.

Everyone was silent after hearing it, and they did not want to recall the past.

But everyone witnessed Joyna's battle with the demons, while being overwhelmed by her terrifying power.

Everyone couldn't believe it was true, because it was definitely the most shocking scene they had ever seen in their life.

"What, no one knows?" Joyna asked again, looking around at everyone.

"They are... people changed." The old man said tremblingly, his round eyes full of fear.

"People have changed?" Joyna thought for a moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ something came to her mind in an instant.

"I heard from the witch doctor in the village that it was a punishment from the Supreme God on human beings. Some people were infected by death and buried in the soil, and later became demons from the abyss!"

"I've heard something like that," said another, trembling, "and the dead, after many years, emerge from the sea of ​​madness, they come from the depths of the earth, and beyond, and they eat Lose human flesh and soul!"

The man with the stubble face said, "I don't know what they are or where they came from. All I know is that it gave birth to endless nightmares, swarming through the rocky soil, Crawling upwards, with an unquenchable urge to kill, with the sole purpose of tearing our world apart."

"I heard that they are transformed from people or beasts who have that kind of infection. Wherever they go, there is a dreadful stench, and their very existence has distorted the air!"

"Yes, they only appear at night because they are afraid of the sun."

The crowd began to discuss.
