Chapter 20: Where Did the Cry Come From?
I looked at the villager who was striking the gong, and now he spoke better than the village chief.
"Yes!" he replied after a moment of silence, then looked at me with a determined look.
"You, you, and you, we are now the youngest and strongest in the village, do you dare to fight?"
He pointed to several young men in succession and said to them.
The young men who were pointed out looked at me and could see that they didn't trust me very much.
"Are you sure?" asked the young man who struck the gong.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"Yes, based on your performance in the village tonight, I believe you!"
Then he turned to look at the young men: "Do you believe me?"
The youths nodded.
"It's done!"
The young man who beat the gong looked at me: "What are your plans?"
Actually, my plan is very simple.
I just saw a villager pulling a lot of vines, and we just need to twist them into a rope.
When the time comes, let the villagers retreat, and I will lead the death squad to run over with the vines, pull out a large net, and catch them all!
They do have a lot of strength, but they don't necessarily stand firm!
All we have to do is put them in the net and give them a few seconds to be restricted.
That way I can find an opportunity to sneak up and take them down.
Although they are dressed as human beings, they do not act like real human beings after all.
As long as they can be pushed down the flood, the plan will be a success!
They know water, but they can't move with such a large corpse in the water.
As long as the fire phosphorite leaves the corpse, my cocoon will be ready to work!
Then there will be no need to be afraid.
It's a clumsy solution, but it's the most effective way to do it today.
Just do it!
We made a large net of vines according to the plan and gathered the villagers back.
Then it's laying the net, collecting the net, sneak attacking, all in one go.
Of course, most of these actions were carried out by Uncle Wang, because he was the best.
After putting the zombies down, the death squad is dispatched in an instant!
By this time, the flood had reached a little lower than halfway down the mountain.
The zombies were pushed down into the flood at breakneck speed by the death squads!
The flood swept the zombies away quickly.
Occasionally, there was resistance, holding on to the grass, and the death squad smashed his palms with stones on the spot!
No matter how powerful the corpse controlled by the fire phosphorite is, it is only a human body in the final analysis, and it will become meat sauce when a stone goes down!
The zombies were quickly defeated, and the villagers applauded.
The young man who struck the gong looked at me and smiled.
The flood saved us temporarily.
After this night, we can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have fought together.
But our crisis is not over, the flood is still rising!
"It's not time to celebrate, everyone run up!"
The young man who beat the gong said to the villagers.
Continuing to run up, it was only a few tens of meters away, and we were stunned for several minutes.
At the top of the hillside, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a temporary escape!
All I could hear was flooding down the hillside, and the distant sound of boulders rolling down and crashing on the ground, mixed with the sound of trees tearing.
It was truly a devilish night.
Fortunately, we are blessed with a great life!
I finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was morning, and the sun was slowly rising in the east.
I was surrounded by Uncle Wang and Guan Zixuan. At this moment, I am leaning on Guan Zixuan's lap.
"Zhao Jie, are you awake?" Guan Zixuan smiled at me.
"I'm blessed with a great life, and I can't die...... Ahem. I smiled.
The continuous running last night still makes my chest itch and I want to cough whenever I speak.
"Xiaojie, you saved everyone again!" Uncle Wang said excitedly.
"Hehe, Uncle Wang, am I handsome?" I said with a smile.
"This time it's really handsome!" Guan Zixuan interjected.
"It's not me who is the most handsome this time, nay, the guy in the distance is doing better than me. ”
I pointed to the young man who was beating the gong last night, who was taking care of some injured villagers at the moment.
"He's good. Uncle Wang nodded.
"How about it? Would you be interested in letting him go to your cave to be a branch leader?" I said.
"Let's talk about this later!" Uncle Wang looked at the young man with a look of appreciation.
"Thank you both this time, for saving your life!" I pretended to bow to them.
Uncle Wang and Guan Zixuan looked at me and laughed.
On this small hillside, only the three of us could still laugh.
I looked around, there were more than 200 people, probably all of the people who survived the three villages.
The place we were in was very empty, and a hundred meters away was the forest.
From here, you can see the top of the mountain after it collapsed in the distance, and the entire mountain was almost cut in half.
"After resting for so long, no bugs have caught up?"
I didn't expect me to sleep for so long, but after such a long time, why didn't the bugs attack?
"We don't know what's going on, maybe it's because you're here!" Guan Zixuan replied.
Are they really as I thought, they have reflexively moved away from me?
That's the best!
It's also possible that they weren't as fast as I thought, and it took a long time for them to chase down from the top of the mountain.
This time, they all went out and cut off the entire mountaintop, and I was horrified by such an action!
I used to underestimate them too much!
This mudslide reminded me of Shangyang Village, where we were also forced to a desperate situation when the Shangyang Reservoir burst.
The fire phosphorites seem to be keen to create such a catastrophe to wipe us out.
Obviously, they can wipe everyone out with a single bite, so why spend half a year doing such a big project?
I used to guess it was because they were afraid of death, but it didn't make sense!
To make such a big project and deal a devastating blow to mankind is not something that can be explained by fear of death!
There must be something wrong with this!
But what exactly is the problem, and why do they do it?
I don't understand this yet, but one day I will.
After resting the large army, we set off again!
This time's destination, Binh Duong Village!
After going through so much, I hope that Binh Duong Village can bring me different surprises.
And I have a guess about Pingyang Village, this guess is not mature for the time being, and after I have gathered enough information, I will tell Uncle Wang about this guess.
Pingyang Village is the outermost village in the mountains of dozens of miles, and its location is also the closest to the main road leading to Guishi.
Due to the limited conditions, the roads to the upper city are still muddy mountain roads, and there are asphalt roads more than 30 kilometers up.
Before the disaster, Binh Duong Village was the wealthiest of the four villages, and basically all of them lived a good life because there were many powerful businessmen in the village.
However, they regard money as their life, and they have never thought of paying for the construction of roads.
Now that the disaster has struck, I don't know what the scene of Pingyang Village will be after the catastrophe.
I hope there won't be a so-called village tyrant like Xiayang Village!
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard the cry of a child again!
The direction from which this cry came from was the ruins of Xiayang Village, which was covered in mud!
This cry came strangely, obviously Xiayang Village has been completely submerged, how can there be a child's cry there?
