Chapter 68: The Nomadic Watchman

Inside the wooden house, the fire was burning with flames, crackling the firewood, and the five of them sat around, and An Sheng was feasting on the barbecue on the plate, with a happy and satisfied face.

Seeing this picture, Zhong Miao leaned closer to Zhong Xiao's position and whispered, "This one, is it really the Supreme?"

"Sister is the Supreme, I saw it with my own eyes, that alien was killed directly!" Before Zhong Xiao could speak, Zhong Yao took the lead and said with an oath, revealing an obsessive look, watching An Sheng's gaze become tender like water.

Zhong Miao looked at Zhong Yao unhappily, turned her head, put her hand on Zhong Xiao's lap, and said softly: "I believe that Xiao Ye must be talented and will not be inferior to the Supreme." ”

"You really exalt me when you say this, how can I have such a good talent. Zhong Xiao heard Zhong Miao's words and showed a wry smile.

"No, you can!"

Seeing that Zhong Xiao denied his opinion, Zhong Miao spoke up again, her sincere eyes staring at Zhong Xiao's eyes.

Zhong Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, seeing Zhong Miao so persistent, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, I'll go out and see if the people have returned. ”

Zhong Lin, who had been silent on the side, said aloud, his expression was a little gloomy, he stood up and walked towards the door, when he brought the door, through the crack in the door, his eyes stayed on the graceful back next to the fire, as if a trace of loneliness flashed, and he gently closed the wooden door.

Zhong Yao looked at the closed wooden door, then at Zhong Miao, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Well, can you tell me about Inhumans?"

An Sheng spoke, munched on the barbecue, and said incoherently, looking at the three of them.

"Huh, why would you be interested in that kind of thing?"

Zhong Xiao heard An Sheng's words and smiled slightly, the smile on his face was indeed a little stiff, extremely unnatural.

"Doesn't my sister know about Inhuman?"

Zhong Yao leaned over, leaned towards An Sheng, and looked at her suspiciously.

An Sheng swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, turned his head and said, "I have never seen such a thing in the place where I grew up, I only left my hometown a few months ago to come to Nancheng, and then after leaving the city, I met you. ”

Zhong Yao nodded, knowing in his heart, "No wonder." ”

"So, can you tell me what that thing is?" An Sheng looked at Zhong Yao and asked, but Zhong Yao didn't make a sound, his eyes looked at Zhong Xiao opposite, and Zhong Miao did the same.

Zhong Xiao exhaled a breath of turbidity, rubbed his temples with his hands, looked at the fire burning in front of him, and said slowly: "We don't actually know what Inhumans are, but according to the clansmen, monsters have existed since ancient times. ”

"They feed on people, they are huge, and like irrational beasts, they only know how to slaughter like crazy, and basically one or two will appear every few days in this grassland. ”

"Our tribe actually had a population of tens of thousands in the past, and the living conditions were not the same as now, we now have a wooden house per person, in order to avoid the direct death of several people when the alien destroys the house, so that everyone can better avoid greater death, once it falls into the hands of the alien, there is no possibility of survival. ”

Zhong Xiao held his head in his hands and gritted his teeth, tears rolling in his eyes.

"We've always avoided contact with them, and we've always avoided them from a distance, but even then, every now and then someone has been spotted and fallen into their mouths. ”

After Zhong Xiao finished speaking, the three of them all lowered their heads, their faces sad, thinking of those clansmen who left them, and a sad scene arose in their hearts.

Zhong Yao leaned on An Sheng's body, holding An Sheng's arm with both hands, as if seeking that warm sense of security, and whispered: "I once, with my own eyes, saw the alien eat people, they grabbed Uncle in their hands, threw it in their mouths, chewed, and blood and flesh splashed. ”

"Uncle was crying, screaming so badly, but everyone was afraid, Grandpa picked me up and ran away, and I didn't see Uncle anymore. Zhong Yao's godless eyes revealed the despair born from the depths of his heart, his face was expressionless, as if he was going to tell an ordinary trivial matter, "Do you know? After that, for a long time, I would dream of Uncle, I could hear his crying voice, but I couldn't see his face, his whole body was shattered, like a lump of minced meat that had been kneaded together, and Grandpa, also died, two years ago, he was caught grazing, and it was his birthday in two days. ”

"Condolences. ”

An Sheng stroked Zhong Yao's head and said gently, looking at the face that was originally full of smiles was indeed cold and stiff at this time, there was an inexplicable sentimentality in his heart.

"But didn't we kill them too?"

Zhong Xiao said in a deep voice, his whole body was constantly trembling, his arm stretched out, and he opened the palm covered with calluses, which was as thick as a steel plate in the palm of a young man, making people feel so out of place, but it was real. Zhong Xiao sneered and continued: "It's this hand, I pierced his head with that spear, I smashed everything there, he died, and he didn't move anymore." ”

"But that time it cost hundreds of lives. ”

"Shut up! That was our success, we won! Even if it was filled with hundreds of lives, it was our final success!"

Zhong Yao looked at his brother who gritted his teeth and looked fierce in front of him, lowered his eyes, and curled up his delicate body into An Sheng's arms.

An Sheng took Zhong Yao into his arms and patted her back gently, looking at the abnormal Zhong Xiao but also full of doubts, the gentle and sunny young man was like a wounded beast at this time.

"Well, we will definitely succeed, don't be angry with Yaoyao. Zhong Miao held Zhong Xiao's palm and said softly.

"I'm sorry, I was too aggressive. Zhong Xiao sighed, as if he had unloaded all the strength of his body, and looked at the pitiful Zhong Yao in An Sheng's arms guiltily.

"Are the Inhumans all the same size, why didn't they eat everyone at once, and still appear indirectly?" An Sheng asked out loud when he saw that Zhong Xiao had calmed down.

"This, I don't know exactly why, they are always elusive, they may run away in the middle of the fight, sometimes they don't appear for half a month, and then there are several at a time. Zhong Xiao touched his head and recalled.

"The body shape is not the same, some are only more than one zhang high, and some are about three zhang like today, and as far as we know a few, they are divided by their respective appearances, such as today's one, which is the appearance of half man and half beast, so it is called the beast species, and those are human appearances, but the body and a certain part will be relatively huge is called the general species, in addition, there is ......"

"Xenomorphs, only once, with cracks all over their bodies, and hot magma flowing from them, a hundred feet high. That time was ten years ago, magma spread across the earth, destroying all life, and the original tribe of 10,000 people went directly to decline at that time, and most of the tribe died, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled to survive. Zhong Miao saw Zhong Xiao's painful expression, comforted Zhong Xiao softly, and continued: "That time, the entire grassland was almost destroyed, and we all thought that the end had come, but at that time, that adult appeared. ”

Zhong Miao's eyes revealed longing and respect, and sighed: "That respected lord repelled the terrifying alien species, and then helped this grassland to restore its former vitality, I will never forget the back in the middle of the air, although it is illusory, but it is indeed deeply engraved in my heart, it is he who rescued us from despair." It's just that it was only that time that the adult showed up, and he was never seen again. ”

"The Lord, the Warden of the Prairie?" An Sheng was a little puzzled when he heard Zhong Miao's tone, and his look of worship was as if a sincere believer was worshipping the faith in his heart.

"Yes, his story has always been circulated among the tribe, he is the watchman of this steppe, the god in the hearts of the nomadic people. Where we don't know, the people who have been watching this grassland have been silently helping us, and the water that suddenly gushes out in a dry year, and when the aliens arrive, there are always a hundred birds hovering in the air......"

"Then why doesn't your God deliver you from this difficulty?"

"Lord Watchman, he must have something unspeakable. Zhong Miao said in frustration, her expression a little depressed, and her tone no longer wanted to be as sure as she was just now.

"Then not to mention the matter of that adult, why do you want to live on this grassland?" The firewood in the fire in front of him was about to run out, An Sheng patiently and meticulously added firewood to it, and then said: "In Nancheng, your safety can already be guaranteed, right?"

In the southern city, there has never been a trace of a giant.

But this time, no one spoke.

An Sheng chuckled and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhong Yao got out of An Sheng's arms, sat up straight, stared at An Sheng and said, "Sister, will you dislike us?"

"Why should I dislike you?" An Sheng asked rhetorically, and the jade finger reached forward and gently brushed Zhong Yao's scattered green silk behind his ear, touched his fair face, and showed a gentle smile.

"Besides, if you want me to help, shouldn't you tell me the situation completely, so that I can help you, are you right?" An Sheng pinched Zhong Yao's tender little face, looked at Zhong Xiao and Zhong Miao, and waited for their answers.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

When Zhong Yao saw the two of them, he calmed down, and slowly said to An Sheng: "We can't go to Nancheng to live, because the people in the tribe are all ruined bloodlines. ”

"We are outcasts. ”
