There was silence in the Black Wood Territory, the lights in the two-story building were bright, and a charcoal fire slowly radiated heat in the living room, making the whole house a little warmer.

Not long after being placed in this residence, the guards of the Blackwood Territory respectfully brought this pot of charcoal.

The cold at night naturally didn't have much impact on Chen Chong, a person of life level, but since the people in the Black Wood Territory had a heart, he had no reason to refuse.

"This place ......"

Standing in front of the window on the second floor, scanning the street shrouded in darkness, Chen Chong narrowed his eyes and his thoughts fluttered.

After meeting the leader of the place, General Jin, he always felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird, but except for the life cultivation of the leader General Jin was a little unexpected by him, he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Unable to think of anything, Chen Chong sneered and closed the curtains on the second floor with a hula.

He is not a bodhisattva who saves suffering, and with his current power realm of 400,000 volts, there is almost no place in this small black wood camp that can threaten him. As long as the people here don't come to provoke him, he won't bother to meddle.

Rustle rustle......

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps approaching the small building, and then a crisp sound accompanied by a knock on the door:

"My lord, I am the chief's servant, and I have come to bring you food at the orders of the chief!"

Chen Chong immediately walked downstairs and opened the door.

I saw a beautiful girl dressed in single clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing outside the door, her little face was red from the cold, and she was carrying a food box wrapped in fur.

In the night, the girl's eyes were like crystals, and she looked at Chen Chong, who was as strong as a giant in front of her, and her eyes were timid, like a frightened deer, and she said:

"Excuse me, can I go in?"

Well?

What the hell?

Seeing the thinly dressed and trembling girl in front of him, Chen Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It's really not that he thinks too much, in the dead of night, he specially arranges a thinly dressed and good-looking girl to bring him food, how to see how to reveal a ...... The taste of beauty tricks.

Suspicious in his heart, Chen Chong opened the door and said lightly: "Come in." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

The girl agreed, and then, with great difficulty, carried the food box in both hands, and walked into the living room and went straight to the dining table.

"Your Excellency, this is something that the Leader has specially instructed the kitchen to do for you alone. ”

As she spoke, the girl opened the layers of food boxes and brought out plates of hot, fragrant barbecued meat, broth, scones, spiritual fruits and other food, which filled most of the table.

Reluctantly glanced at the food on the table, her stomach made a faint gurgling sound, the girl's little face flushed and put away the food box, and cautiously turned to look at Chen Chong:

"Your Excellency, you must be hungry after a long journey, don't you? Please use it, I'll wait outside the house, and I'll come in and clean up when you're done eating." ”

"You don't have to go out. ”

Chen Chong came to the table and sat down, glancing at the girl:

"I eat, I like to be accompanied by someone, I see that you seem to be hungry too, so let's eat together. ”

"This ......"

The girl hurriedly waved her hand:

"This is specially prepared by the Chief, how can I ......"

Chen Chong pointed to the seat opposite him, and said undoubtedly: "If I let you eat, you will eat!"

Being in the high-level position of the War Department for so long, Chen Chong has long developed a temperament of not being angry and arrogant, and his words so lightly made the girl's face white, and she didn't dare to say more, so she hesitantly sat down opposite Chen Chong.

Chen Chong picked up the dinner plates and dishes, cut off a large piece of barbecue meat and scones by himself, and took a bowl of broth and put it in front of the girl: "Eat!"

"Thank you, sir. ”

The girl's beautiful little face hesitated for a moment, and finally it seemed that hunger and the temptation of food had prevailed, and she immediately devoured it.

Chen Chong's eyes narrowed, staring at the girl in front of him who was gobbling up, and did not move the food in front of him.

Eating food from a stranger in an unfamiliar environment is undoubtedly an extremely stupid thing, even if he has a strong physique, even if the odds of someone from the Blackwood Territory daring to attack him are very small, he has no intention of taking risks at all.

As for the food distributed to the girl in front of him, it was not that he was overflowing with sympathy, but that he completely treated the girl as a guinea pig to test the poison.

Naturally, she didn't know the cruel thoughts hidden under Chen Chongwen's surface, and the girl was like a hungry little beast, with a pair of slender, fair-skinned little hands grabbing a piece of barbecue and gobbling it up. And as she ate, her crystal eyes suddenly had big tears sliding down.

Chen Chong's eyes moved, playing with taste: "What's wrong?"

"I ...... Growing up, I've never eaten so happily. ”

The girl raised her head, revealing a delicate little face wet with tears:

"No one has ever treated me as well as an adult......

Unexpectedly, Chen Chong raised his eyebrows and said casually:

"Little girl, you are one of your chief's side. Although this world is difficult, with your appearance, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it, right?"

Now in the apocalyptic wasteland, there is not one in ten people, and although the originally scarce resource of beautiful women has greatly depreciated, if you are attached to the strong, you can at least have no worries about food and clothing.

The girl in front of her is not only a first-class person, but also the person next to the leader Jin Jiang, so it shouldn't be a problem to eat well.

"Our leader, he likes, he likes the older ones. All three of his women were in their thirties. ”

The girl wiped her tears and sobbed:

"Because I'm young, the chief hasn't done anything to me. But his three women don't like me very much, so beating and scolding are commonplace, and even their leftovers are not allowed for me to eat, if it weren't for Uncle Li's kindness in the kitchen, I'm afraid I would have starved to death......"

Hearing the girl talk about her miserable past, Chen Chong couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

And at this time, the girl on the opposite side seemed to have suddenly made up her mind, and suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Chen Chong like a maid.

Chen Chong raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly, "What are you doing?"

"My lord, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

The girl choked in a low voice:

"I heard from the Chief, that you are leaving tomorrow, can you take me with you when you leave?" I know that our Chief, it seems that he wants to befriend you, so he sent me to serve you, and if you ask, the Chief, he will definitely agree to give me to you!"

"I can do anything, be a cow and a horse, I can do whatever I want, I can do laundry and cook for you, I can also give birth to children for you, raise offspring for you, just ask you to take me out of here......"

The girl was crying, like a wounded beast.

Chen Chong stared at the girl kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, and it took several seconds before he said slowly:

"I'm just a stranger to you, and you dare to come with me?"

"My lord, I believe in you, and no matter what, it's better than staying here. ”

The girl raised her head with tears in her eyes:

"If I continue to stay here, maybe one day I will disappear inexplicably, and I will not see anyone alive or dead...... I don't want to stay in such a horrible place anymore!"

No one alive, no corpse dead?

Chen Chong's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Hearing Chen Chong ask this, the girl knew that she was speechless, and the look of hesitation and fear on her face flashed alternately, and finally gritted her teeth and said:

"Your Excellency, do you know that just two years ago, the leader of our Blackwood Territory was not a golden general. ”

Well?

Chen Chong's gaze froze: "What do you want to say?"

The words have been spoken, the girl seems to have a lot less scruples, she looked directly at Chen Chong, plucked up the courage and said:

"...... two years ago"

In the room, as the girl spoke, Chen Chong suddenly knew part of the development process of the Black Wood Territory.

Two years ago, the leader of the Blackwood Territory was still a transcendent called Tielis, and at that time, the Golden General was one of the right-hand men of the leader Tielis.

And one day two years ago, who didn't know what happened, the original leader Titlis disappeared in his residence for some reason, and the entire territory fell into great chaos under the leaderless dragons, and at this time, the originally mediocre Jin General showed a terrifying strength that was completely irresistible, and directly destroyed the chaos completely, and he also took advantage of this to ascend to the position of leader.

In that chaos, everyone who resisted and opposed Jin Jiang was killed, and Jin Jiang also established absolute authority in this way, and the people in the territory were silent, and no one dared to resist again.

However, the development of events does not stop there, since Jin became the leader, the rules and regulations of the entire territory have become extremely strict and harsh.

First of all, all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the territory who are not productive are forcibly sent to the back mountain in the name of mining; and then under the strict rules and regulations, all the survivors are walking on thin ice, not talking about the leader, and must strictly complete the daily work indicators, once the mistakes are made three times, they will be immediately escorted away by the guards, and they will also be sent to the back mountain.

However, whether it is the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or the survivors who have made mistakes three times, it is as if they have evaporated from the world, no one has died, no corpse has been seen, and they have never returned.

It was in such a terrifying atmosphere that the survivors of the Blackwood Territory were all in danger, the population was constantly decreasing, and there were several incidents of rebellion and defection during the period, but unfortunately all of them were suppressed by Jin with unrivaled strength.

And it was only two years after General Jin ascended to the throne, and the population of the entire Heimu territory did not increase but declined, and it decreased by nearly one-third!

"This situation seems ......."

After listening to the girl's story, Chen Chong was silent, but his heart shook violently.

Ordinary survivors may not know, but he knows very well that the population has plummeted and he is nowhere to be found, and the strange situation in the Blackwood territory is undoubtedly like someone hiding from the demon!

And as the leader of the Kuroki Territory, General Jin bore the brunt of the suspicion, and in this way, his life cultivation suspected of being a second-order controller seemed to have been explained!

Thinking of this, Chen Chong stared at the girl and said in a deep voice:

"Where is the back mountain? With so many survivors sent to the back mountain and never returned, is there no one in the territory who knows what happened?"

"The back mountain is very close to here, about seven or eight kilometers away. But it was forbidden place, and no one was to approach it without the orders of the chief. As for what's going on in the back mountain, I think there might be some secret of the leader there......"

The girl took a deep breath and seemed to try her best to dispel the panic in her heart:

"Two months ago, at a banquet, the chief drank a wine made from black berries, which was very strong, and the leader was very drunk. When I was taking him back to his room with another servant, I heard him muttering to himself that no one was allowed to approach the mountain, which was not yet ripe...... A kind of bizarre words, I don't know if it has anything to do with sending people to the back mountain. ”

Not yet mature, what does it mean?

Could it be that a large number of survivors were sent to the back mountain for other purposes? So does Jin Jiang have anything to do with humans and demons?

Unexpectedly, there was such a secret, Chen Chong's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a pimple, and he only felt that Jin Jiang's whole body was full of mysterious and weird smell.

"My lord, that's the case. ”

The girl still remained in a kneeling position, and her crystalline eyes were full of poignant pleading:

"I don't want to stay here anymore, and I don't want to be sent to the back mountain by those three women, please, take me away! I will repay you with my life, I will definitely be killed by them if I stay here!"

Chen Chong was silent for a moment, suddenly took out the map from his arms, and then unfolded:

"Tell me, where is the back mountain?"

The girl was stunned at first, then leaned forward, and after carefully looking at the map, she stretched out her hand and pointed: "It's here." ”

Noting down the direction the girl was pointing to, Chen Chong nodded, put away the map, stretched out his hand to gently help the girl up, and said softly:

"What's your name?"

The girl's eyes were timid, her face was slightly drunk, and she said softly: "My lord, my name is Xiao Lin." ”

"Xiao Lin, thank you for the information,"

Chen Chong stretched out his hand, gently touched the tears on Xiao Lin's face, and said gently:

"Meeting is fate, since you are facing such a situation, I will not sit idly by. I'll go to this back mountain tonight to take a look at the situation, and tomorrow morning, I'll take you out of here!"

"Really?"

Xiao Lin's fair and delicate little face suddenly burst into surprise and excitement, and her petite body suddenly rushed into Chen Chong's arms with a fragrant breeze, and said incoherently

"Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, I, I'......"

Chen Chong smiled and touched her head: "Xiao Lin, although I can't help everyone, I can still take you away." ”

Tears of joy wet Chen Chong's chest, and Xiao Lin in his arms suddenly raised his head and said with a worried face:

"But my lord, if you want to go to the back mountain, will it be dangerous there?"

Chen Chong smiled slightly and patted the girl's back gently: "No, I'm just going to see the situation, with my strength, as long as I'm careful, nothing here can hurt me." ”

"Your Excellency, you are amazing!"

Xiao Lin's small face was pressed against Chen Chong's strong chest, her eyes were a little blurred, and her tone was full of admiration.

"Alright. Chen Chong gently pushed away Xiao Lin in his arms, and said, "I'll leave in a while, you go back to pack your things first, and then wait for me obediently in the house, understand?"

"Well, I'm waiting for you to come back. ”

Xiao Lin nodded weakly. As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Chen Chong reluctantly:

"Your Excellency, you must be safe. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Chen Chong smiled and nodded.

Soon, Xiao Lin wiped her tears, quickly gathered the plates on the table, and then left the small building with a big food box.

And until Xiao Lin's footsteps gradually faded away, in the room, Chen Chong's eyes suddenly turned cold:

"I don't know what is alive or dead...... Treat Lao Tzu as an honest man?"
