In the end, He Li and the three of them were still taken into the largest house in the village and the old man's home by the old man who seemed to be the village chief in the suspicious and hostile eyes of the villagers.

"Hmm. Have a seat. The old man came to the room with the three of them and said casually.

The old man seemed to have changed all of a sudden, from the heroic old man who seemed to be able to stand up to the sky by himself at the entrance of the village, to a very ordinary and kind old man in the countryside.

"Well, thank you, uncle." He Li took the tea handed over by the old man and said.

"Well," said the old man, who also sat down, "it feels strange, doesn't it?" Our attitude towards you. ”

"Well," He Li nodded, "is something wrong?" ”

"yes." The old man said, "You are not actually lost here, are you? Came in from the outside, right? ”

"Uh...... Yes......" He Li said a little embarrassed.

"I also know about the old man outside." The old man let out a long breath and said, "Now, it's all the kind of monsters you call zombies, right?" ”

"Don't bluff us mountain people, we know it." The old man smiled a slightly eerie smile and continued, "A month ago, we also met a few people at the entrance of the village who came in from the outside, just like you. That's what we know about the outside world. ”

"At that time, those people were more or less injured, and they were much more embarrassed than you." The old man looked at the neatly dressed three people and said casually.

He Li nodded slightly, more or less guessed.

"There seem to be a few people among those people who know a lot about those monsters, and they say that our village is safe from those monsters." The old man said this, his expression a little proud, "Our village has been blessed by the gods since ancient times...... No matter what era it is, our village is a very peaceful and stable place, and the weather here is smooth all year round, and there has never been any disaster. ”

"It should be influenced by the ruins," Xingyu's almost inaudible voice sounded in He Li's ears, "Many ruins will set up a formation with a certain protective ability around them. Natural disasters can prevent damage to the ruins. This village may have been built within the scope of the ruin's protective formation, and it has invisibly avoided many disasters that should have befallen here. ”

He Li nodded slightly.

The old man raised his hand and motioned for He Li to continue listening.

"There are a lot of them, and our village has limited food." The old man's face gradually calmed down. Even with some sadness.

"Huh...... We didn't mean anything about them," the old man continued, "but we just wanted to ask them to help us with some production...... Those people are probably city people who used to be pampered, and they don't know how to produce at all. After a few days, they said that we mountain people were making things difficult for them......"

"Finally. They probably can't stand it anymore," said the old man, with a bitter look on his face, "Finally, you probably guessed it, right?" ”

"Raise a tiger for trouble......" Xingyu's somewhat gloomy voice came from behind He Li.

"It's almost ......," the old man nodded slightly, and continued, "They began to quarrel with the villagers, and finally took advantage of our unpreparedness and snatched a lot of supplies and ran away from here. ”

"Huh...... But...... Not long after they left, we found their bodies in the mountains......" The old man looked a little awe-struck. "All died in an open field, and there was nothing to be stolen from us. In the end, we got it back. ”

"They have been punished by God!" The old man said solemnly.

"How did they die?" Xingyu asked.

"Killed by a curse of God, of course." "Everyone is rotting and smelling, as if they had been dead for a long time," said the old man. This is the proof that God cursed them to kill them after they were tortured endlessly in hell! ”

He Li nodded slightly, she probably knew.

The formation in this place has a suppressive and protective ability, and it can even suppress the onset of the zombie virus, but when those people leave the protection range of the formation or go to a place where the power of the formation is relatively weak, the zombie virus that was originally attached to them begins to attack, and they die directly because of the zombie virus attack. But due to the influence of the power of the formation, in the end, he did not become a zombie, but died directly there.

"Maybe that's a good ending, too?" He Li pressed his head and thought.

Compared to the living dead who have turned into zombies outside. Perhaps the way these people died was more "happy"?

"Although this time did not have a big impact on us, it also caused a lot of trouble to the people in the village," said the old man, "and most of the people in the village are more or less aware of the situation outside, and now they are very alert to outsiders." Na...... The guy over there. Are you really so foolish as a bunch of mountain people? ”

"Uh......" Xingyu didn't look directly into the old man's eyes, pretending to look around at the scenery.

The old man didn't delve into it, and after a few casual words, he stood up and said, "Now you don't have a place to go, right?" Why don't you stay here for now? ”

……

In the end, He Li and the others temporarily stayed in the home of the most prestigious elder in the village, and temporarily put aside their plans to go to the ruins.

"There seems to be something strange in this village, maybe we can find something about that ruin here, and it might be helpful for us to get into the ruins." Xingyu said the same.

So in this way, He Li and the others settled down in this village.

At first, the villagers still maintained a certain degree of hostility towards He Li, but after He Li and them really helped a lot, their attitude gradually improved.

He Li and the others gradually integrated into the village, and their lives gradually calmed down. It's so calm that you almost want to cry.

The peaceful days seem to pass very quickly, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, during this time, Xingyu has also gone outside several times to investigate the situation, and he has not received any information, but he has also heard that the speed of mutation of zombies in the city is also getting faster and faster, and it seems that there is now a scene of mutated zombies everywhere in the city.

In addition, Xingyu also investigated in many places outside the village, and it seems that he also found some clues, He Li is not clear about these things, and he does not know the specific situation. (To be continued.) )
