13. Precautions

"It's been a long time since I've eaten a Maifu. ”

Lao Hu held half a piece of cake in his hand, dipped in chili sauce, and ate it with emotion.

A few days ago, he never imagined that he would be able to enjoy this treatment again in his life.

It can even be said that if he could eat a piece of Maifubiscuit at that time, he could just die.

The world is impermanent, white clouds and dogs, and fate is sometimes really hard to say.

"Then eat more, I've made a lot, it's enough. ”

Niqi smiled brightly, but she rarely did it, mainly watching Lao Hu and Chi Chuan eat.

It seems that this will be satisfied.

"It tastes good. Even Chikawa couldn't help but praise it.

The meat filling is reasonably blended, fat and thin, no wood or oil, and the dough is golden and crispy. One bite is full of fragrance, and after dipping it in some chili sauce, it is even more delicious, which makes people want to stop.

"It is my greatest honor to receive praise from Ikekawa-sama. Nikki was getting happier.

She thinks it's not bad to live like this for the rest of her life.

With food secured and the surroundings completely safe, she has become carefree, and the only thing she has to do every day is to take care of the family's appetite.

That's right, family.

Although I don't know what Lao Hu and Chikawa-sama think, she really has regarded them as family-like existence.

Even including Yoyo.

She is responsible for Yo You's bath, and sometimes she feels that the other party is her daughter.

In this small village on the top of the mountain, in this house she picked up, she experienced a rare happiness and sweetness for the rest of her life.

"The language of your world is a bit of a crepe. Ikekawa smiled and sighed, and then continued to enjoy the food.

Anyway, there was nothing to do at night, so the food was eaten slowly, which was really savored and worth savoring.

Yoyo finished eating the fifth candy.

Brother Chikawa asked her to eat more, it was dinner time, and there was no shortage of sweets, so it seemed that she could be unscrupulous.

Just as she was about to peel off the sixth candy wrapper, suddenly, her slender eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes glanced in the direction of the window that was not completely closed.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Chuan felt a feeling of falling at the corner of his clothes, and when he looked down, he realized that it was Yoyo.

When she loosened her clothes, she lifted her chubby little hand and pointed to the windowsill.

"She's not going to be cold, I'm going to close the window. Niki smiled and prepared to get up.

"Not true. ”

Chi Chuan shook his head, how could Yo Yo be afraid of this little breeze?

Besides, it's actually not cold, and the wind blows on your body this season is particularly comfortable.

He noticed that Yo Yo's expression was very serious.

Something must be going on.

Although it is only known that Yo You has more strength, this does not mean that she does not have other skills, such as ears and eyes - it is not even against the harmony of a non-human like her.

Thinking like this, Chikawa quickly got up and leaned over to the window.

Only then did he notice the light and shadow of candles in the open space outside.

"Not good, old Hu, blow out the candles!"

He finally realized something.

Careless!

In this dark world, any light is almost a beacon.

The vast majority of creatures are phototaxis, which may attract a group of atavists.

He didn't dare to guarantee that the other party would still sell face.

The scattered shadows shrouded the room again, and Lao Hu and Niqi seemed to react as well, tiptoeing to Chi Chuan's side.

None of the three spoke.

Quietly looking out through the glass window.

They were the first house to enter the village, and their sight was good, and after their eyes adjusted to the surrounding environment, they could see the movement at the entrance of the village by the bright moonlight.

"Just two?" Ikekawa let out a long breath.

In this way, he used to nag and fool the other party away, which should not be a big problem.

It's really not good, it's okay to stay and be included in the domestication team, anyway, there are only two.

"No, Ikekawa-sama, I don't feel like an atavist. Lao Hu said in a low voice.

"What?"

"Look closely. The atavists don't walk so carefully. ”

Chi Chuan fixed his eyes and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Really!

You must know that the outside is the world of atavists, and they can't be careful at all.

Besides, they probably don't know what to be careful about.

Normally, they always move with a wide opening and closing, jumping and jumping.

With the two figures outside, the behavior is very different.

The three of them looked at each other.

Person!

Two people came to the village!

And the reaction of the other party is also very good to verify this.

Probably seeing the candlelight extinguished, the two of them were instantly alert, moved from the middle of the road to the side, and then bent over, slowed down, and moved more and more carefully in this direction.

While Ikekawa was still thinking about how to deal with it.

Lao Hu and Niqi had already turned to leave, and after a while, they turned around and came back, one of them with an extra pointed kitchen knife in their hands.

Sure enough, the people who can survive the end times are not soft persimmons.

"Probably refugees, the same as you did before. Ikekawa said.

"It could also be a robber. Lao Hu said in a deep voice.

Yes or no, wait and see, the other party has insight into the location and will come over sooner or later.

At this time, the door is locked, and the windows are closed, so if it is a refugee with no malicious intent, it should not be too aggressive.

On the other hand, if it is a robber bully, he will definitely try to break into the door.

Chi Chuan carried Yoyo to the stairs and motioned for her to hide upstairs.

Although she has a lot of strength, if the other party has a murder weapon, it is still very dangerous to judge and react to the crisis at this age.

Then, he also ran into the kitchen and found a kitchen knife.

Together with Lao Hu and Niqi, they set up an ambush on the wall between the door and the living room window.

The location is quite good.

Whether the opponent breaks the door or breaks through the window, he can attack him first.

Time passed quietly, there was not a sound in the room, and there was some rustling outside the room at first, but gradually it calmed down again.

After at least twenty minutes, Ikekawa lost his patience and slowly moved to the windowsill, ready to take a look.

One eye peeks out of the house through the glass, and when I glance left and right, where is there a human figure?

"It seems to be gone. ”

When Lao Hu heard him say this, he also moved over, and after carefully looking at it for a few minutes, he finally determined that there was indeed no one outside the door.

"It should be refugees. Ikekawa concluded, secretly relieved.

Although fights were commonplace in school before, it seems that those are just children playing at home, and he has definitely never experienced a real life-and-death struggle.

I don't want to go through it either.

Although the doorway can be taken refuge, it doesn't seem to be able to bring people with it, just think about it, even he needs a code to enter.

If there is really a conflict, do you leave Lao Hu, Niqi and Yoyou behind and run away alone?

He couldn't do that kind of thing.

The reason why man is human is largely because he is an animal with rich feelings.

"Not necessarily. Lao Hu said suddenly.

"Oh?"

"It's also possible that there were only two of them, and they found us by chance and came to find out, but they didn't have the certainty of defeating us, so they retreated strategically first. ”

"You mean, they'll be back?" Ikekawa raised an eyebrow.

"I hope not. ”

Lao Hu said in a deep voice: "But if you come again, it shouldn't be two people." Therefore, Ikekawa-sama, we must take precautions as soon as possible. ”

I have to admit that Lao Hu's analysis is very reasonable.

Chi Chuan frowned, tonight's encounter can really be described as happy and sad, a hundred secrets, it could have been avoided, but they had actually paid attention to it when they lit the candles in the past few days.

It's no wonder that life is too comfortable and alertness has decreased.

Blame him.

There really should be some arrangements to prevent problems before they happen.

For the sake of life, it is not too much to do anything.

His first thought was to release the atavists from the village center, no longer locked up, so that with their help, it should be much safer.

But after thinking about it, the other party must still come at night, and the atavists have to sleep at night, if they have any special means, such as incense and the like, and don't make a big move, it is blind.

And they're sure to keep a low profile as well.

The last few people don't even know how they died.

This alone is not stable.

"What do you think of digging a trap at the entrance of the village? ”

After thinking about it, Lao Hu replied, "Yes." ”

There is only one cinder road into the village, and it is surrounded by steep hillsides.

There shouldn't be anyone who would leave a good road and climb those places, right?

Therefore, as long as the entrance of the village is held, Dingjiao Village is actually very much like a strategic place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack often described in military stories.

"How do you dig it, just the three of us?" Niqi frowned subconsciously.

I thought that the road at the entrance of the village was five or six meters wide, and the so-called trap was not a few meters deep, even if there was no shortage of tools in the village, but it depended on how long they had to dig it?

"Of course not. ”

Chikawa laughed and said, "Don't forget, we still have 17 partners, and I haven't trained for nothing in the past two days." ”

"Oh, that should be fine. Niki raised the corners of her mouth.

The three of them will do what they say, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and the other party may come over tonight.

Chikawa immediately went to the villagers' activity center, opened the gate, and summoned 17 atavistic brothers.

Naturally, they can't use tools such as shovels, but those sharp claws that can tear through the mixed skin of the mutant boar king are simply overkill when used to dig up soil, just like digging tofu.

Under his command, no less than 17 mini excavators.

The three of them didn't even have to use their hands, and the progress was fast.

......

Yamashita.

The town of Mera.

The streets are congested and cluttered, littered with discarded garbage, with the breeze blowing, confetti and thin plastic flying, and empty bottles and cans making a "ding" sound as they roll.

It was devastated and depressed.

The bright moonlight could not dispel the darkness here, but instead covered it with a layer of white color, and some shadows in the shadows were so dense that they looked like ghosts, which made the scalp tingle.

The whole town is like a ghost domain.

Near midnight, two dark shadows suddenly appeared on the deserted street.

They were sneaky and walked slowly along the middle of the road, never approaching the houses on either side, deliberately avoiding anything on the road that might make a noise.

After crossing the town's main road, continue on, then turn right into an increasingly dark dirt road, and after walking for more than ten minutes, you will reach a lonely brick house in the middle of nowhere.

The house is not big, small flat top, long in shape, and there are several ponds next to it.

I think it's not the fault of the fishermen's residences in the past.

Cuckoo!

A birdsong breaks the silence of the night.

After a while, a slight creak was heard, and a crack opened in the door of the house.
