Night.

The moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted.

According to Hurred, since the outbreak of the plague, the environment has gotten better and the air has become cleaner.

So he really suspected that this was not actually a plague, but a divine punishment.

Through a period of friendship, Chikawa also got to know the two of them.

Don't look at Hured's down-and-out appearance now, he doesn't look good, but he used to be a wealthy man who ran a trading company before the end of the world, with several sets of real estate and three luxury cars.

Nikki isn't bad either.

It is a senior white-collar worker in a large company, and he lives in a small community with Hured.

Then it is not difficult to understand why the two are together.

When the plague broke out, those who were close and not unwell naturally gathered together, and then searched for some supplies and began a journey to escape the world.

Originally, there were nearly twenty people in the group, but after several crises, only the two of them remained.

If they hadn't met Ikekawa today, they would have been doomed.

Since talking about this inevitably evokes some painful memories for the two, Ikekawa stopped at the right time and did not get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, the future is long, and the first task at the moment is to find a place to stay.

Hured and Niki don't mind living in the mountains, but Ikekawa doesn't want to be a caveman.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the three of them groped aimlessly along the flat terrain on the hill - where this ghost place was, Lao Hu and the others didn't know.

Well, Lao Hu.

When Chikawa saw Niki call him like this, he did the same.

After all, his name is not Chinese, and it sounds weird.

In the past few months, their lives have been the ultimate version of "Survival in the Wilderness", running around blindly in order to survive, with no purpose at all.

"Old Hu, what is this?" asked Chi Chuan, pointing to a place at his right foot.

"What?" Lao Hu looked at for a long time and didn't find anything there, and raised his head to look at him with an unknown expression.

Unseen?

Chikawa wondered, he had been paying attention to it for a long time, and he was very sure that he was not dazzled.

And Niki's equally puzzled look told him that she couldn't see either.

This thing glows faintly fluorescent, and it is next to the neck of his right foot, and Chi Chuan really didn't notice it during the day, but it was a little obvious at night, and he squatted down just now and took a handful, and it turned out to be lonely.

That's right, the thing followed him all the time, like a part of his body.

It can be the size of a cup, which is generally round, but it is not very regular.

Now it was as if he had been marked with a patch of psoriasis in the night on his right foot, and the night had bound him.

Weird, you say, isn't it weird?

If it weren't for coming to another world, he would have made some mental preparations, and there were really a lot of strange things he encountered today, so Chi Chuan would definitely not be so calm.

"Lao Hu, let me ask you a question. ”

"Lord Ikekawa, please speak. ”

Ikekawa pondered and said, "How many years did you live the longest-lived person in the world?"

In fact, what he wants to know is whether there are any mysterious powers in this world, such as whether there is a god or not - you must know that this Boss Hu is a real believer.

But he felt that as an envoy of his own gods, it was not appropriate to ask such a question, so he could only be tactful and ask about lifespan.

If there really is a god and there is any way to practice, the life span must be very long.

Based on the life expectancy, you can probably judge something.

The main current situation is becoming more and more unscientific, and he questions some of his previous judgments.

"Lord Chikawa, I really don't know who the longest-lived person is, but the person I know who has a longer lifespan should be the elders in Yesha, and it is rumored that their average lifespan is more than 300 years. ”

300 years old?

Chikawa is flustered, there really is!

"What about you ordinary people?"

"I'm probably seventy or eighty years old. ”

This is normal.

"Why is it so bad? By the way, what was Jesha you were talking about?"

When answering this question, Lao Hu's expression was filled with a sense of admiration.

According to him, Jesha is their José Coalition - that is, their country, a mysterious organization within it, similar to the existence of the "state religion".

However, the Jesha organization did not preach, and only existed in the capital of the League.

The people inside are clear of the rules and precepts, in-depth and simple, similar to the monks and Taoist priests on the earth, practicing some mysterious things, and living an extremely long life.

Lao Hu also proudly said that as long as Yesha is here, their Jose alliance will not be afraid of any enemy's provocation and aggression.

From this, it follows the position of Jesha in the alliance. There is no doubt that it is the practice of force.

It's a pity, it's only 300 years old, but it's also a world of martial arts, and it's a great martial arts.

Ikekawa was a little melancholy.

"And what's your most powerful weapon?"

"Empty the bomb. ”

What the hell is this? Ikekawa looked confused.

"How powerful?"

"Scared to death!" Lao Hu said with an exaggerated expression: "A building can be razed to the ground in an instant." ”

It's scary, it scares me to death!

Ikekawa was speechless.

Because you have the force to cultivate mystical powers, don't you need to develop weapons of mass damage?

The world doesn't even have missiles, let alone atomic bombs.

Real chicken dishes.

However, after some understanding, he finally let him know that there are indeed some mysterious forces in this world.

Then this strange thing on the side of his foot and neck doesn't seem to be so unacceptable.

I'll look into it when I have time. Ikekawa thought to himself. He is now hungry and cold, and he is still very sleepy.

There is an urgent need for a place to stay, plus food.

In addition, with two people who died at the sight of the light, if they did not find a safe place to stay before dawn, the matter would be a big deal.

Chikawa knew that the two of them thought they could drive those atavists.

But only he knew in his heart that he couldn't do it at all, and it wasn't that he hadn't tried.

Poof!

There was a sudden sound next to him, and Chi Chuan was startled, and said in his heart, let's take it easy, don't wake up those atavists.

"You're alright. Lao Hu hurriedly squatted down and wanted to help Niqi.

But the other party couldn't stand up anyway.

Only then did Chi Chuan notice that she was pale, a little scary at night, and her hair was covered with sweat.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Lao Hu seemed to know the situation better than Niqi himself, and sighed: "I'm too hungry, my body is too exhausted, and my physical strength is overdrawn." ”

Chikawa frowned and asked, "How long has it been since you guys eaten?"

"It's almost four days. ”

Haven't eaten in four days?

Ikekawa felt incredible, these two people were still alive.

He was suddenly embarrassed.

People hadn't eaten for four days, and he had pulled people to help move more than a dozen atavistic corpses.

"I'll carry her. ”

"Ikekawa-sama, how can this be done, I'll do it. ”

Lao Hu wanted to dissuade him, but Chi Chuan ignored him at all, and regardless of Niqi's weak resistance, he easily carried him behind him - she probably didn't exceed ninety pounds.

The three of them continued on their way.

Since I didn't know the way, I walked to the middle of the road several times, and I also knew how much time I wasted.

Not to mention Lao Hu and Niqi, even Chi Chuan is very tired.

I don't know how long it took, but a group of obstacles with outlines loomed in front of me.

"There is a house!" Ikekawa suddenly had a spirit, and he also came to the spirit.

"Yes, it seems to be a village!" Lao Hu panted, and his face was also happy.

However, Niki, who was already too weak to open his eyes on Ikekawa's back, said in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly, "Be careful......"

They have survived in the wild for so long, and have entered villages or towns several times in search of supplies, but each time they have paid a terrible price.

Because the atavists still retain some human habits, ready-made houses are ideal for nests.

"Don't worry, isn't this Ikekawa-sama here, do you see that we are still chatting along the way, have we met the atavists?"

That's your life. Chi Chuan thought to himself, I have been suppressing my voice when I speak, you are good, don't hide it.

One of Niki's "cautions" made him understand that atavists should be indispensable in such villages.

What now?

Once inside, there will be no shortage of sleeping places, and you may even find some food. But it is likely to encounter atavists.

If you don't go in, Lao Hu is okay, but Niqi may not be able to hold on.

"Old Hu, I have something to tell you. ”

Now, Chi Chuan intends to make some words clear, after all, these are two fresh lives, not child's play.

"What?" Lao Hu smiled, with a bad premonition.

"I don't dare to guarantee 100% that the atavists won't attack you, especially if there are too many of them. ”

If it's just one or two, Chi Chuan is still a little sure to talk to the other party about buddy affection, and then take the opportunity to knock the stuffy stick and put it down, if there are more, he is really not sure.

Lao Hu was stunned, but in a moment, he was a little relieved.

"Lord Chikawa, I understand, controlling these atavists must be very expensive, and the more they are, the more difficult it will be, after all, you have just come here, and it will take a process to master the power. ”

“......”

You're empathetic.

Chi Chuan ignored him and continued the topic just now: "So whether you want to enter this village or not, you have to decide for yourself." Or you guys wait here while I go in and see if I can find some food. ”

Lao Hu didn't reply, but pointed to the sky.

Ikekawa looked up and instantly realized.

It was already a little hazy by this time, and it wouldn't be too long before dawn, and it would be difficult for them to find another place to stay until then.

"Ikekawa-sama, I'm sure you ......," Nikki said weakly.

"Come in!" Lao Hu agreed, clenching his fists.

If God has sent an adult by his side, and he still has no way to live, it is fate, and it is useless to struggle.

Chikawa bowed slightly, said no more, stepped forward, and led the two of them towards the destination of the suspected village.

After a while, they passed by something that looked like an archway, and it turned out that it was indeed a village, called "Dingjiao Village".

It lives up to its name, as it sits on top of a flat hill.

Ikekawa didn't bother to observe the small village, and quickly moved to the nearest building with Niki on his back.

Although he understands that Niqi has no choice, since people choose to trust him, he can't easily live up to this trust.

He will do his best to ensure that both her and Lao Hu survive.

There is not a single ghost on the road paved with cinders and the like in the village, but according to the habits of atavists, it is normal.

The three of them soon approached their target, a small two-story western-style building with two Roman columns standing in front of the door, a large window with eaves, a unique shape, and a flower bed outside.

Ikekawa didn't know if the world was living like this, or if this small village on the top of a mountain was richer.

He didn't have time to think about this, so he gently lowered Niqi under the eaves, and then gestured to Lao Hu to take a good look at her, and paced forward, trying to pull the beautiful relief security door.

Just then, however, the door opened.
