Beside the railroad tracks——

A dozen people gathered together, some of them holding wooden sticks with beets stuck on them, and kept turning them over in front of the campfire.

The child, lying on his mother's lap, stared at the beets with longing in his eyes.

Even when I smelled the bitter taste, I couldn't help swallowing.

The mother stroked her child's head, her eyes full of heartache.

At this time, it was a luxury for people like them to have a full meal.

The middle-aged blond man sitting in front of the campfire had a serious expression, and his scarred face was particularly creepy.

Jin De took out the map from his arms again, opened the yellowed and torn map, and carefully observed the route.

This was the nth time he had opened the map, and the folds and the map were beginning to fade and turn white.

"Captain, do we really have to take this road?" A young man looked at Jin De with a slightly frown.

Jin De's cloudy eyes paused, he raised his head and sighed: "Well, there is no way. If we go back the same way, we will not be able to escape with just our horses."

"We are now on the Essam Plain. Less than 30 kilometers ahead is the Bingsen."

He pointed at the map with his rough index finger and said, "Look, only from here can we escape as quickly as possible."

"If we go around in circles, it will definitely take longer, and we don't have much food reserves..."

Having said this, he looked at the large group of people sitting around the campfire.

These people all looked haggard and thin, and it didn't look like they had the strength to continue their journey.

"Crack!" The young soldier Li Lu broke off the tumbleweed and threw it into the fire. His black hair was shiny in the firelight, and it was obvious that he had not washed for a long time.

"I just don't know if there are any living people at the Bingsen supply station..." He was dejected and didn't hold out much hope.

The comrade next to him punched him.

"What are you doing!"

His comrades looked at him unhappily and shouted angrily: "Why do you always say such discouraging words? What are you doing?"

Facing the anger of his comrades, Li Lu lowered his head again: "How long have we been walking?"

"What does this have to do with it?" The comrade still looked unhappy.

Seeing this, the surrounding refugees all lowered their heads slightly. They had no say at all and were lucky to be able to escape behind them.

Li Lu stretched out two fingers and said: "For more than 20 days, we rode at full speed to various defense points, but what was the result..."

"There are only dead bodies and monsters... In this situation, where is the hope?"

"Look at the sky, what the hell is that? The sun has never risen from beginning to end!"

The anger in his heart also surged up. To survive in this ghost world, they didn't know how many hells they had crawled out of.

At this moment, his comrades beside him kept pushing Li Lu's shoulders.

"what are you doing?!"

The comrade didn't say anything, but just looked up at the sky, his expression full of astonishment.

Seeing that the other party's expression was wrong, the surrounding soldiers drew their weapons.

Jin De quickly raised his head and stood up, constantly searching for the enemy in the dark.

"do not be afraid!"

In this depressing atmosphere, a voice came from the dark sky.

Momo swooped down from the night sky on a night kite, raising a cloud of dust before landing steadily on the ground.

Jin De looked at the black warrior in front of him, his pupils shrank sharply, and he said in disbelief: "Are you...you are the dark hero?!"

"Dark Hero?!"

The rest of the people all screamed, their eyes filled with shock.

The black armor glowed faintly under the blood moon, and the blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind.

The warrior stood tall and strong, his black armor emitting a chilling aura. He rode a powerful demonic beast. His blood-red cape was his trademark, and his two great swords were blades of judgment that tore through all darkness.

[When you meet him, he will be the dark hero, Momo.]

This is the most widely circulated information in the borderlands.

Even if people have never seen this dark hero who symbolizes justice and mercy, they can still imagine what he looks like through legends.

Jin De now saw it with his own eyes, and his eyes were full of shock.

Really extraordinary bearing!

Just standing here, one can feel his power.

"it's me."

Momo nodded at Jin De and glanced at everyone.

When the refugees saw this legendary dark hero, there were shock, astonishment and suspicion in their eyes.

Why would this famous hero appear in such a place?

Could it be that there is something scary here?

All kinds of bad thoughts keep coming up.

"Are you fleeing?"

Momo really couldn't bring herself to say something as stupid as the other person was traveling.

Tattered clothes and a few dried beets were the dinner for the group.

The soldiers looked at each other and all focused their attention on their backbone, Jin De.

"That's right, Mr. Dark Hero." Jin De frowned.

"Then can you tell me what happened to you?"

Jin De said without hesitation: "No problem!"

"This story all started a month ago. For unknown reasons, various monsters began to appear in the easternmost border areas."

"They look neither human nor ghost, are deformed and twisted, and have extremely strong vitality and infectiousness."

When Jin De said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his heart full of hatred.

"At first, demon hunters would continue to come and hunt, but as time went on, those who went in never returned."

"No return?" Momo was shocked. He didn't expect such a serious situation to happen.

But he didn't receive any news from beginning to end!

This is where the problem lies.

As demon hunters, all demon hunter guilds share information. If such a serious monster disaster occurs there, the demon hunter guilds in other areas will definitely receive the information.

Jin De nodded and continued, "That's right, none of them returned. Those who managed to escape were covered in wounds, and their internal organs and bones were all torn out."

"We still remember the desperate faces of those who died while shouting 'monster'!"

"However, the lord did his best to suppress the incident in order to avoid punishment, which later led to the monster's rampage, which was even more desperate."

"The area surrounding Black Knight City was completely destroyed. Even the main city, Black Knight City, was not spared and was completely turned into a hell on earth."

"We managed to escape with all our might, heading west, seeking refuge in various towns, but those places..."

Having said that, Jin De fell silent, his eyes full of sadness.

Momo knew what had happened without thinking, and couldn't help but sigh at their misery.

All the soldiers and refugees had bitter faces, and they all recalled the tragic memories that they didn't want to remember.

The scenes of the death of relatives and friends are still vivid in my mind, as if it happened just yesterday.

Lilu looked at him expectantly and said excitedly: "Dark hero Momo-sama! You must have a way to save us!"

"Yes, if it's Master Momo, there must be a way."

"That's the dark hero, Momo-sama."

Everyone kept speaking, whether children or women, and kept raising it.

In their perception, the dark hero is omnipotent and a powerful enemy of all evil.

Momo hesitated as he looked at the hopeful eyes of these people.

He really couldn't say that he had no other choice and everyone could only wait to die.

Nor can I make a false promise to ensure that they all survive.

After all, just trying to get past the lime barrier is like hitting a rock with an egg.

"Ahem..." Momo coughed twice, looked up and asked Jinde: "Where do you want to go?"

"The Linmu town behind the ice forest." Jin De pointed at the refugees and continued, "Their relatives and families are there, we need to send them there first."

"Of course, the premise is that there are no problems there..."

"But we also thought that perhaps the ice forest could isolate the monsters, so we headed there as our destination."

After Jin De finished speaking, he looked at the other party, waiting for him to speak.

Momo's sudden appearance was like a miracle, giving them hope of survival again.

"Linmu Town?" Momo repeated the name of the town. It was very close to Bingsen. If there was a problem in Bingsen, there would definitely be no living people in Linmu Town.

"Ok?"

He felt someone tugging at his cloak and looked down.

A little green-haired girl with a dirty face was tugging at her cloak, her face full of timidity and fear.

She was wearing a ragged grey cloth skirt, and her feet and hands had many scratches, which made people feel distressed.

It's hard to imagine this being something a child would endure.

The face that was ravaged by fear was filled with hope after seeing Momo, and the childish voice trembled a little:

"Hero, will you protect us?"

"······meeting."
