Chapter 4: A Village in Ruins

In the direction indicated by the refugees, it did not stop children like Lulunaka and Gendina from "doing such reckless things". They do not belong to the group of refugees and do not have the ability to determine their choices. Moreover, they no longer have the ability to care for others, and compassion is something that can only be revealed to most people when they still have such a margin - this is not a problem, just a life rule that most people will follow.

No one has the ability to care and care why two seemingly young children would appear in such a desolate and dangerous place.

Gradually, Gendina could no longer see the refugees, they had left them behind – or they had left them behind. Lulunaka's Whimsy is now slowly advancing. "For the average traveler, when they hear such news, they usually avoid such areas and take a detour, but there are also people like you who deliberately go there to join in the fun. ”

"It's nothing special. Lulunaka laughed, "Did you know that in the group of adventurers, there are some people who are lone rangers who will take on this kind of reconnaissance mission, or take the initiative to go to these areas that are classified as dangerous, to gather information to determine the situation in this area? No matter how subtle it is, it can be the last straw or a fatal detail for others. But the risk is also quite big, doing this work, one is not careful, probably just don't know where to die, and even can't find a person who collects the body. ”

"Yes, if people like me and you die in such a place, there will be no one else to collect the body. Zhendina said.

Luluna Kahaha laughed, "That's true, but if that happens, I hope that anyone between you and me can run faster, and if they survive, maybe there will be a chance to collect the body of another person in the future?"

It wasn't funny for Jindina, but Lulunaka was smiling happily. This strange guy is still incomprehensible. The only thing that can be confirmed is that if Lulunaka wants to do something, she can't stop it. She's just a real Dina, and she doesn't have the power to stop someone.

Lulunaka let the two elderly mules move on, pulling out a map and looking for where they were, "Let me see...... It's already in such a position. In the area between the mountains and the plains, in the underground of such a place, a lot of strange things do pop up. After all, the underground is full of hewn passages and abandoned spaces, and it's not surprising that life inhabits underneath. ”

"What else but reptiles?" said Jindina.

"Whatever it is, to the poor people, it's just a demon. "Destroying their living space, plundering their lives, and using their flesh as food...... No matter how you look at it, it's all demons. ”

Zhendina didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before she said in a very small voice: "There are humans who would do such a thing. ”

"Because humans are demons too. The smile on Lunaka's face became even brighter, and in Zhendina's eyes, Lulunaka, who showed such a smile, looked no different from a demon, "If a person is reduced to a desperate situation, who will become a demon? ”

After that, Gendina didn't discuss the matter with Lulunaka again. Discussing this kind of thing, Gendina was very suspicious that her mind would become even stranger, and it would definitely not be a good thing for her to become someone like Lulunaka. After a long day's walking, a casual camping spot in the evening, and a half-day walk, the two of them seemed to have arrived in the area that the refugees had said by midday. Now Gendina could see the mountains that had become barriers, blocking her view farther into the sky. And what she is now under her feet is still a solid plain, but if she continues to move forward, she will probably go into the mountains. Lulunaka had said that if you crossed the mountains, you would see the sea on the other side, and it would be a sight that Zhendina had never seen before—the waves, the big boats, and the horns......

None of this is what Zhen Dina cares about now, she only cares about the things in front of her now. If I'm not mistaken, the ruins in front of me are probably where the refugees once lived. It's a small village, but it has everything you need to survive here, wells, fields, livestock...... But that's all in the past. The well was blocked by something strange and disgusting, the crops in the fields were gone, and the livestock were only skeletons.

It's not that Zhendina hasn't seen the scene of a village after the destruction of a settlement, but she can't get used to it at any time. And everything in front of her seemed more miserable than she had experienced in the past, and she was very careful not to look at things that would make people mentally bad......

Although Zhendina thinks so, there is a person around her who will not change at all because of this. Lulunaka, who disembarked from the Whimsy, walked to the place where the strange substance that Zhendina had deliberately not looked at was located. It was a house with its roof lifted, once a resting place for humans, now in ruins. Inside this little ruin, there's something that beats, sticky.

Zhendina watched Lulunaka walk in from afar, and then heard her voice sigh with emotion, "I see, it's not just food, it's a good place to hatch...... Oviparous organisms have such benefits. ”

Just listening to what Lulunaka was saying, Zhendina felt that her mental state was taking a turn for the worse. By following Lulunaka, you will learn things that you have never been exposed to before, and knowledge will not bring joy, but the bad mood that comes from knowing the truth. Like now, Gendina knew exactly what Lulunaka was talking about, and it made her feel sick.

Lulunaka looked up at Jindina, "Why don't you come and take a look? It's disgusting, but it's worth watching." As she said this, Lulunaka raised her hand and showed Gendina the green, viscous liquid on her hand. It made Gendina feel like her throat was tumbling and she felt like she wanted to spit it out. "Aren't you worried that the liquid is going to be corrosive?"

"If it's going to corrode, I'll scream in pain. Lulunaka said, still playing with the mucus in between, "and then the sound will stimulate the mother who doesn't know where to rest, and then we're going to suffer." ”

Speaking of this, Lulunaka looked like she remembered something, "But don't worry about it now—the mother has been woken up, so there's no need to worry about it!"

Zhendina didn't think it was a good thing at all.
