In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

"I said Fourth Brother, is it a little too weird for us to go like this?" Zhao Yuncheng asked, looking at the carriage in front of him.

These carriages now seem to be loaded with cargo, but in fact they are filled with dry food, their weapons, and bows and arrows.

According to Mo Dao's plan, they would pretend to be merchants and go all the way into Qingzhou to detect signs of the bandits.

If this method is used in the realm of Xingyuan Prefecture, there will naturally be no problem.

But the place they are going to now is Qingzhou, which has been experiencing drought. Not to mention that the birds are not shitting, there are not even any birds there.

And now they are going there to do business, and there is something wrong with them no matter how you look at them.

Unless they have a grudge against their own money, no one would engage in such a business that is bound to lose money.

"We are not looking for the group of thieves, just looking for their traces. If the group of thieves sees us and avoids us, then we will be safer.

If they don't avoid us, but want to rob us, if there are fewer people, we will take out weapons and fight them, but if there are more people, we will run away. "

Mo Hu gave an explanation for Mo Dao’s arrangement.

What they were looking for was the traces of the bandits, not the group of people who were surrounded and wiped out.

And in that place where birds don't poop, people will definitely leave traces as long as they walk through it.

All they had to do was go in and take a closer look. It didn't matter whether they met the bandits or not. It would be safer if they didn't.

Mo Dao smiled and nodded. His brother was right. This was indeed his idea.

"Let's go quickly. Have you brought enough water in the car?" Chen Mo said slowly, looking at the desolate and dead land in front of him, which still looked relatively dry.

It seems that even after he fled to Xingyuan Prefecture in Dingzhou for so long, the drought in Qingzhou still has not been relieved in any way.

The only unusual thing is that the drought seems to only stay in this area of ​​​​Qingzhou. Xiaojing Town, which is less than 20 miles away, still has plenty of rain, and the wheat seedlings in the wheat fields are growing well.

This distinct drought actually looks a bit unusual.

"It's ready. It's all boiled and cooled water. The water bag is sealed to ensure it won't break. The amount is enough for us to drink for half a month." Ma Caihui reported.

Everyone immediately moved forward together, first walking for more than thirty miles, and then each drove a carriage and separated one after another with maps in hand.

What they want to do is to explore. The goal of a group of people gathering together is too big and the efficiency is too slow.

It is more efficient to spread out separately, and the risk does not increase.

If you encounter a small number of bandits, fight them; if there are many, they will run away.

The bandits were definitely not as fast as them. Even if they had horses, they only had two or three at most.

There is nothing for horses to eat here. Chen Mo and the others don't actually have much dry food for people to eat in this cart, it's mainly horse food.

Since the bandits were roaming around this place, they were destined not to have many horses, or even none at all.

So unless among those bandits there was a sharpshooter like Mo Dao who could fire a powerful seven-stone bow a hundred steps away and hit ten out of ten shots, they would not be in much danger.

If there really were such bandits, you would only have yourself to blame for your misfortune when you encounter them.

Everyone now dispersed and went in the designated direction.

The path Chen Mo took was the easiest and generally smooth. This was because Mo Dao took care of him.

After all, among the people who led the army this time, Chen Mo was the least qualified. Although he was strong enough, he lacked experience.

Therefore, let him take the easiest and most convenient road to prevent him from getting lost, and also allow him to quickly complete the area he needs to explore.

Chen Mo was actually not very familiar with this road. He felt that he should have walked this road, but at that time he was obviously not in the mood to remember these things.

There are many big trees that have dried up on both sides of the road. When spring comes, they are still the same as before.

The deeper he went, the more familiar the area in front of him became in Chen Mo's mind. More than half a year had passed, and nothing had changed here. It was still yellow and dead, with no trace of life in sight.

Chen Mo drove the carriage and walked forward slowly, while Ma Cai and several other soldiers walked quickly behind the carriage.

The area they were responsible for investigating was actually not many, only the part near Xingyuan Mansion, and this part was divided into several small areas by Mo Dao.

Chen Mo is mainly responsible for only a small area within it. He can walk through it roughly and leave whether he finds anything or not.

As for the situation at Anyang Mansion, Anyang Mansion guards are responsible for investigating and have nothing to do with them.

If traces of bandits appear there, there are only two possibilities.

First, they were preparing to rob Anyang Mansion, and secondly, they had just returned from plundering Anyang Mansion.

The former still has nothing to do with them, so they don't need to worry about it.

As for the latter, the guards at Anyang Prefecture will definitely receive information, and they will definitely know the movements of the bandits.

Although Chen Mo was driving the carriage, his eyes were still observing the ground movements around him. Although the roads here were official roads that had been in disrepair for a long time, they were still much better than the country roads.

If a bandit passes by here in a short period of time, there will definitely be traces left.

Ma Cai and others were also searching around nervously. They had never been on the battlefield, let alone killed anyone.

This time, even just looking for traces of the thieves made them a little nervous and excited.

Although the reward for killing bandits is not as good as killing barbarians on the battlefield, you can still get three taels of silver for killing a bandit.

If you kill three thieves, you will have a better chance of becoming a corps commander from an ordinary soldier.

They are still thinking about meritorious service in their hearts.

After driving the carriage for two days, a low and familiar thatched shack gradually appeared in front of us.

Chen Mo was only familiar with the surrounding environment, but did not have a particularly deep impression, but he remembered these thatched shacks very well.

Because he ate in this thatched shack, he had been on the run for a long time, and he couldn't remember exactly how many people he killed and how far he walked, but he remembered every time he ate.

Because compared to other things, eating is undoubtedly rare when fleeing from famine, and it is more worthy of him to remember.

"Let's hurry up and rest in that hut at noon today." Chen Mo ordered a few soldiers and raised the reins to urge the horses.

After walking another few dozen feet, Chen Mo hurriedly reined in the horse. He could see clearly that there was a dark figure in the hay shed. He was wearing layers of clothes and seemed to be a disaster victim.

But as far as Chen Mo knows, no victims have escaped from Qingzhou since the New Year.

Not because the drought was relieved, but because everyone was dead and no one could escape.

But the other party didn't look like a bandit. Could it be that there were really victims who hadn't escaped?

Chen Mo was confused and slowly got off the horse and took out the weapon. It was a steel gun nearly seven feet long.

"What's wrong, Brother Mo?" Seeing him reining in his horse, Ma Cai hurriedly followed him.

"There's someone in front of you, pick up your weapon and follow me to see." Chen Mo said cautiously and walked slowly towards the shack.

Although the opponent is only one person and looks extremely thin, it still takes all the strength for a lion to fight a rabbit.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious.

Getting closer to the shack, Chen Mo finally saw the face of the man clearly. Suddenly, his whole body felt cold and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Chen Mo thought he was quite courageous. He had seen cannibalism and cannibalism along the way. At first, he felt scared and disgusted, but after seeing too much, it turned out to be just that.

Later, he fell into the gray fog and saw very strange creatures such as blood monkeys.

These things had frightened him before, but never to the extent they did today. He felt frightened, and even the hand holding the weapon was trembling.

Because he clearly remembered that face, that person was obviously killed by Zhao Yu before.

The dagger penetrated three inches into the eye, but there was no chance of survival.

But now the other party is standing in front of him alive again!

He was even smiling at himself, drooling and laughing at the same time!
