I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

At the moment when the tall man's head was split, the thin man with a split throat on the other side also stopped moving at all.

“Huh—”

Seeing that the three transferred negative status entries all disappeared from the system panel, and after confirming that the three tall, short and thin refugee brothers were completely dead, Zhou Heng let out a long breath.

He looked at the bodies of the three refugee brothers around him with an indifferent expression.

Even though he won so easily this time, killing three people in just one or two minutes, this battle was actually quite dangerous for him.

Considering the fighting power of the three tall, short and thin brothers, if they had not used short sticks that were necessary for close combat with him today, but long sticks over one meter long or spears, lances and other weapons, he would have been in big trouble today.

If that were the case, he would have to rely on the bugs in the package on his back to transfer the negative state so that he could withstand the fatal damage to fight the enemy.

Although we can win in the end, the process of winning will definitely not be as easy as it is now, and there is even a possibility of failure.

After all, he can only transfer negative status ten times at most in one day.

“We must embark on the path to transcendence as soon as possible to elevate our life level.

The system's one-meter transfer range and daily usage times are too short and too few.

Kaiyang Prefecture, there must be a means to enable people to achieve extraordinary things!"

After simply tidying up the clothes that were covered in dust from the fight, and stripping off all the clothes and packages of the three tall, short and thin men.

Zhou Heng did not stop and rushed towards the direction of Kaiyang Prefecture with the spoils.

As for the bodies of the three tall, short and thin refugees, he had no intention of destroying them.

Firstly, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to waste any more time here.

Secondly, no one would care about the life or death of the three refugees.

The most important point is that he currently has no means to completely destroy the body.

As for using the corpses of the three people to feed the worms, the worms he currently carries are more than enough to be fed by the meat cut from Brother Tiger and the other two. There is no need to add any more weight.

……

time flies.

More than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Early morning hours.

After a long journey of many days, Zhou Heng finally arrived at the capital of Pingyang Prefecture, outside Pingyang City.

At this time, many refugees who had fled from various disaster-stricken counties and villages had already gathered outside Pingyang City.

As the gates of Pingyang City were closed, the city walls were patrolled by soldiers in armor and holding spears.

Therefore, the refugees did not dare to act rashly and could only sit or lie in the open space outside the city like drooping zombies.

Among the many refugees, young and middle-aged adults account for the largest proportion, while the number of the elderly, the weak, women and children is very small.

Zhou Heng was not at all surprised by this, nor did he care about it. What was bothering him now was how to enter Pingyang City.

Pingyang City is now guarding against refugees as if they were a flood or a beast. As a refugee, it would be extremely difficult for him to enter.

Crunch, crunch—

Just as Zhou Heng was pondering over a plan, the tightly closed gate of Pingyang City suddenly opened slowly.

The refugees outside the city suddenly became agitated.

However, they did not approach the city gate recklessly, but simply stood up, looked at it from a distance, and swallowed their saliva.

soon.

A team of soldiers in light armor escorted several carts of grain out of the city.

When they arrived a mile outside the city, the accompanying cook immediately began to set up a tent and stove, then lit a fire to cook porridge.

At the same time, the refugees gathered around the porridge shed with great familiarity, and took out the utensils they had with them, looking at the steaming porridge pots with green eyes.

Obviously, this porridge stall should be arranged by the city to provide relief to disaster victims.

However, it was not time to distribute porridge yet, so a group of fully armed soldiers were stationed around the porridge shed to prevent the hungry refugees from looting.

Looking at the cold spears in the soldiers' hands, the refugees, although extremely hungry, still retained some rationality and did not dare to move or get too close.

See this situation.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a vague idea came to his mind.

Although the success rate of this idea is uncertain, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Then he walked straight through the surrounding refugees and quickly approached the soldiers guarding the porridge shed.

At the same time, he weighed the several cloth bags on his back, and finally took off one of the heavier bags and held it in his hand.

"Stop! The porridge isn't ready yet, get back quickly! If you dare come any closer, you'll die!"

Seeing someone so bold as to approach him, one of the soldiers immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted.

"Don't be upset, sir. Don't be upset, sir."

Zhou Heng, who knew that only caution could ensure a long-lasting ship and that it was better to have less trouble than more, did not become arrogant just because he had a cheat.

Facing the soldier's scolding, he immediately revealed a humble and fawning face as if possessed by an actor, and then hurriedly opened the heavy cloth bag in his hand and placed it carefully on the ground.

Inside the cloth bag were some copper coins and small change. Although the value of each of these items was not very high, the total value of such a large cloth bag was at least sixty or seventy taels of silver.

You know, in this world, if an ordinary family of three lives a tight life, one or two taels of silver can sustain them for a year.

Therefore, sixty or seventy taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.

Fortunately, there were always "kind-hearted people" along the way who risked their lives to give him gifts, otherwise, Zhou Heng really would not be able to come up with so much money.

"Military Master, thank you for helping us. This money is my humble gift. I hope you won't despise it."

After showing the treasures in the cloth bag to the soldier, Zhou Heng continued to speak with a flattering face while slowly retreating seven or eight steps.

See this.

That soldier, as well as several other soldiers beside him, all had their eyes fixed on the exposed cloth bag like spears.

Sixty or seventy taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary soldiers like them.

Then, the soldier quickly stepped forward to put away the cloth bag, then exchanged glances with several colleagues beside him, then looked at Zhou Heng in front of him with interest. His face was still full of flattery and he chuckled softly:

"You are a wonderful person, come on, what else is there?"

Hear the words.

Zhou Heng, knowing that his plan was complete, did not hesitate or continue beating around the bush. He immediately stated his purpose:

"General, you are so kind. I hope I can get into the city and live in peace as soon as possible. I wonder if you can provide me with any help?

If I can enter the city today, I will definitely be grateful for your kindness, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will do my best to repay you."
