Tong Le turned around suddenly, but saw a little child standing behind him, no taller than his waist, also holding a plate in his hand, looking at the cake plate in front of him.

For the sake of beauty, the cake chefs cut the cake into small pieces and stacked them on the "cascading fruit bowl", a height that is indeed not within the reach of a child who looks only 1.3 meters.

"Is this one?" Tong Le took a piece, and after getting a confirmed answer, he put it on the plate in the child's hand.

The boy looked hungry and devoured the cake in his hand, but he was not dressed modestly and did not look like a poor man who could not afford to eat.

"How long has it been since you eaten? What about your mom and dad. Tong Le handed him another glass of orange juice.

The child swallowed the last bite of cake with some difficulty with the help of orange juice, and then said, "Mom and Dad are playing outside, and I fell asleep, so I didn't eat dinner." Brother, aren't you playing outside? ”

Tong Le raised an eyebrow. He was a little surprised that the boy looked no more than eight or nine years old, but he spoke so precociously and clearly, and he was "fearless" to see him as a stranger.

"I'm hungry too, so come in and get something to eat." Tong Le showed him the food on his plate.

"Hehehehe, my brother thinks it's too noisy outside." The child held out his hand to him and said, "My name is Mai Chuan, can I be friends with my brother?" ”

"Hello, my name is Tongle." Tong Le also smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook the palm that belonged to the child's young and immature hand.

The so-called three-year-old generation ditch, that's all. Two people who cut five or six "ditches" happily ate and exchanged ideas in this cafeteria.

Pleasant time passed quickly, and the clock on the wall ticked until its minute and hour hands were completely merged, erect vertically.

"Dangdangdang......"

At twelve o'clock, the clock bell rang with its own timer.

But it only struck three times before the sound of the bell suddenly stopped, and at the same time, all the lights in the restaurant went out, and the insulated lights that kept the food fresh all the time were turned off.

Tong Le looked back. I can't help but wonder, "What's going on." Is there a power outage? ”

"It's twelve o'clock." Mai Chuan wiped his eyes, after all, he was a child, he was already very sleepy at such a late hour.

"I guess it's a power outage, and you live in room No. 1. Brother, send you back to bed. Tong Le also saw that he couldn't hold on.

Mai Chuan shook his head. groping in the dark. He took a big bite of bread and said, "Let's play for two more hours, I've slept for a long time today." ”

Thanks to the restaurant's large floor-to-ceiling windows. Although all the lights were gone, the bright moonlight outside the window still brought a glimmer of light to the house.

"Okay......" Tong Le vaguely saw Mai Chuan drink another large glass of orange juice. It's hard to understand what the hell this child's stomach is made of. Just in those hours when they were just chatting.

HE ATE TWO LOAVES OF BREAD BY HIMSELF, DRANK A LARGE BOTTLE OF 500CC OF ORANGE JUICE, AND THAT WAS NOTHING, AND TEN MINUTES AGO, HE WENT TO GET TWO LARGE PIECES OF BRIOCHE BREAD, AND IT SEEMED THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL HE WAS KILLED.

Seeing that this Mai Chuan was about to eat a piece of cake again, Tong Le had to stop him: "You have already eaten a lot, and eating too much at night is not good for your stomach." "He used to study medicine anyway, and he couldn't watch such a young child get a stomach problem at such a young age.

"Hmm." His mouth was stuffed, Mai Chuan swallowed it hard, and he didn't forget to say when his tears came out: "No, you have to eat enough now, otherwise you won't be able to eat later." ”

Tong Le smiled, he was really still a child, and he had to get as much as he liked it.

"Don't eat this piece after eating it, I'll send you back to sleep. If you like it, you can come back tomorrow to eat. ”

After Mai Chuan finished eating the last piece of cake in his hand, he still shook his head and refused. However, he didn't go to get the food again this time, but sat still and drank the orange juice slowly, and it seemed that he really couldn't eat it.

Tong Le was not in a hurry, he slowly took a sip of red wine, intending to let the child slow down, and then send him back to sleep.

Because the wall clock in the restaurant no longer moved, none of them knew that the time had quietly come to half past twelve in just a few words and a few movements.

"Let's go." Tong Le watched Mai Chuan finish the last bit of orange and said.

This time Mai Chuan did not refuse.

However, just as they stood up, they heard a terrible cry for help from outside, and after a moment it fell silent.

Tong Le's complexion changed at that time. He grabbed the clothes on the back of the chair and wanted to rush out to have a look, but before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Mai Chuan to wait for him in the same place.

But his hand was caught in the next second.

"Don't go." Mai Chuan's immature voice was extremely clear in the dark, but Tong Le couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Why, those people outside are begging for help, aren't your parents outside?" Tong Le is not an idiot, he already vaguely felt that something was wrong when the power was cut off just now.

Mai Chuan is too calm, just too calm beyond common sense. This can no longer be described as "precocious", it is simply like an adult living in the shell of a child.

"Brother, it's dangerous out there right now." Mai Chuan didn't seem to notice Tong Le's abnormality at all, and continued: "Did you hear those screams, there are monsters, monsters that can eat people, and there are very many of them. ”

"You wait here, I'll take a look outside, maybe I can find your mom and dad." Tong Le insisted expressionlessly.

Mai Chuan seemed to be frightened by his expression, and shrank for a moment before saying, "Then I'll go with my brother, Mai Mai will be scared here alone." ”

Tong Le looked at the pitch-black environment around him and frowned.

Indeed, if he just thinks too much, it is really not safe to leave a small child alone in this darkness.

"Then follow me carefully." He carefully advised.

Regardless of whether Tong Le's guess is correct or not, Mai Chuan in front of him. His body was indeed just a child at this time.

The two of them slowly walked out of the door of the restaurant, and there was silence outside.

According to common sense, a bonfire was being held outside, and dozens of people participated, and even if it was far away, you could hear faint shouts, but I don't know when it started, and such sounds stopped completely.

In fact, something wrong had already happened, but he didn't notice it......

Thinking of this, Tong Le couldn't help but shudder.

He was just in the restaurant. It was as if I was completely isolated in another dimension. There is no perception of the outside world at all, and it is indescribably weird.

At this moment, a cold thing pressed against Tong Le's waist, and the thin T-shirt could not block the cold and hardness of the metal at all. He immediately stiffened.

"Brother Tong. Do you need this thing? Mai Chuan's milky voice was milky.

Tong Le breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Back to it. What I saw was Mai Chuan, who was only up to his waist, holding an iron rod the thickness of a baby's wrist in his hand, and looking at him quietly with a pair of moist round eyes.

"Where did you get it from?" Tong Le took the iron rod. Asked.

Mai Chuan turned and pointed not far away.

When I looked over there, it was a small pile of construction waste. I heard that this summer resort was built not long ago, and I think it was left over from the previous construction, and I haven't had time to transport it away.

Although it is only an iron rod, with a "weapon" by its side, it still has a sense of security.

The two walked out again. The first thing Tong Le wanted to go to was the place where the bonfire party was held before.

However, at this time, the words that Lou Lan said were ghostly, and they appeared in his mind again - "There are very dangerous things at the party, you try to avoid the crowd and prepare food and water......"

Before, he only thought that Lou Lan's illness had happened again, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but now it seems that ......

"Let's not go over, you stand here and wait for me, I'll go over and take a look from afar." When it comes to their own safety, human beings will always protect themselves first, and then help others when they have extra ability.

The good point is "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", and the bad point is "selfishness".

At this time, the surrounding environment is widely arranged, and at a glance, everything is clear at a glance under the bright moonlight.

Mai Chuan didn't look so scared anymore, nodded quietly, and only said, "Brother be careful." ”

"It's actually a red moon...... Tong Le looked at the moon in the sky and was a little stunned. I just came out and didn't pay attention, only to find that the moon in the sky that should have been silvery white didn't know when it had turned red.

It wasn't as red as blood, but a faint pink, like a red veil on the original moon.

At this moment, there was another scream not far away, this time not just one person, but at least three or four people, and along with the screams, there were also some wild beasts.

There are monsters, monsters that eat people, and there are a lot of them.

Tong Le remembered what Mai Chuan had just said, and he suddenly felt his throat burn, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He was nervous, and at the same time he was more cautious in his movements.

In order to cater to the psychology of urban people returning to the countryside life, the summer resort has arranged the appearance of "small bridges and flowing water houses" in the village, and various trees and wooden bridges abound.

The cafeteria is also separated from the place where the outdoor barbecue was held before by a small bridge.

Artificial water flows slowly under the bridge, but the two-meter-deep river makes a gurgling sound, and on the opposite side of the bridge is a path lined with cherry blossom trees, which are said to be perfect for dating in spring, but now the trees are covered in dense foliage, and the middle path is shaded by trees.

At this time, Tong Le, who was already standing on the bridge, and then in the faint moonlight, his sharp eyes found that there was a figure standing not far from the bridge, he was standing in the shade of a tree, and his swaying figure seemed to be drunk.

The street lights on both sides of the road have long been extinguished because there is no power supply, and the moonlight scattered from the sky is obscured by the leaves, and it is not possible to fully see the people or objects on the path.

At best, it's just an outline.

After coming out of the restaurant, Tong Le, who hadn't seen anyone else, was overjoyed and wanted to go up and ask about the situation.

The man, however, seemed to sense his presence, and began to move slowly in this direction.

It really looked like he had drunk too much, he walked staggeringly, walked three steps and leaned down, and after several minutes, the man walked five or six meters.

If this continues, the rest of the road is estimated to take another ten minutes.

Tong Le scratched his head, it was rare to meet a person, and he was still a drunk, which was really unlucky. But it's better than nothing, this man is so slow that he can't wait, and he takes a few quick steps forward, wanting to catch up.

However, just as he was about to get off the bridge, the man finally left the shade of the trees beside the path and was completely exposed to the moonlight.

"it!" Tong Le, who saw the person's appearance clearly, couldn't help but scold, so shocked that he even forgot to run away.

Come on, no, the one on the other side can't be called human anymore!

What should have been its hands and feet have become claws, and the bones of its limbs are reversed like those of a canine, making it look like a beast. There are also sharp teeth that protrude from the lips, staggered and horizontal, occupying almost half of the face, and saliva is constantly left between the teeth. The eyes that should have black pupils have completely disappeared at this time, and the whites of the eyes completely occupy the entire eye socket, which is terrifying, except for the body is still human, there is no trace of human beings in front of this creature.

"What the hell is this?" Seeing that kind of monster getting closer and closer, Tong Le finally reacted after screaming, although he still held the iron rod in his hand, he still turned around and ran.

In the face of this monster that he has never seen before, he is not confident that he can defeat it directly, and what about the iron rod, he may be able to fight if he gives him a sniper.

At this time, the "monster" seemed to hear his screams, and his body was shocked, and he began to move on all fours in this direction, and the speed was much faster than just now.

In school, Tong Le's physical fitness test results have always been good, and he is even known as the weird little prince of sprints. At this time, there was that kind of "monster" chasing behind him, and he even showed 10,000 points of potential, but he got off the small bridge in a few seconds.

From a distance, he saw Mai Chuan's small figure, and couldn't help shouting: "Mai Mai, run to the restaurant, quickly!" ”

They had been fine when they had been in the restaurant, and they thought it should be safe to come there, and now the best thing to do was to go back again.

Mai Chuan heard his shout and seemed to hesitate, but after a moment he turned and ran towards the restaurant.

Tong Le was instantly relieved.

The speed of the "monster" behind is very slow, and he should not be able to catch up with him in a short time, as long as Mai Chuan hides in a safe place, he can slowly get rid of it in a circle. (To be continued......)
