Chapter 183: The Ghost in the Village
An armored car drove slowly in the green hollow, and on the roof of the car floated an illusory Akihiko Kayaba, who was looking around, as if looking for something.
"How? Is there a result? Tsuneko asked, poking her head out of the window.
"Nope!" Kayaba Akihiko shook his head, "I've already searched the neighborhood, and I haven't seen any signs of a laboratory!" ”
"I've been around this three times, and I haven't found a place yet, so could this marker be empty too?" Mai Qin propped her chin and said with a rather resentful face: "It's already afternoon, if we can't find it, we'll be sleeping out tonight!" ”
After coming out of the temple, Long Mo and the others went directly to the place marked on the map, but they searched for a long time and did not find any signs, which made everyone feel helpless.
"Don't worry, the other party can build a laboratory in this kind of place, and it will definitely not be easy for us to find it! Let's find a place to rest first, and we'll continue tomorrow! ”
"There's a discovery!"
Not long after Long Mo said the words to rest, Kayaba Jinghiko on the roof of the car suddenly shouted, "There are two living people in front!" ”
Everyone in the car was stunned for a moment, how could there be survivors in this wilderness? Strange as it was, Shizuka drove in the direction indicated by Akihiko Kayaba.
Soon the people in the car saw several acres of farmland, and the living people that Kayaba Jinghiko was referring to before were the two farmers who were cultivating the farmland.
The appearance of the armored car naturally attracted the attention of the peasants, although there were only two people, they did not run away, but dropped the hoe in their hands and no one picked up an iron rod, which was still stained with dried blood, and it was obvious that even the simple peasants who could survive to this day had to take up arms.
Soon the armored car stopped at the edge of the farmland, and Long Mo Yuanqing and Xue Ruqing stepped down from the car and walked towards the two people on the farmland.
"Stop!" However, what was unexpected was that before Long Mo and the three of them could get close to the two peasants, they stopped and said, "Who are you?" Why did you come here? ”
Although many people have lost their lives in the last days, most of those who survived have honed their vigilance.
Long Mo was not surprised, and patiently "explained": "Uncle, we are from the military!" This time I came out to investigate how many survivors still exist here, and try to gather a small number of human gatherings together, so that everyone has a better chance of survival! ”
Asuna in the car couldn't help but pout, "This guy is really good, he doesn't even fight the draft when he panics!" ”
"Do we believe you when you say you're from the military? Is there any evidence? "The two peasants are both adults, so naturally it is impossible to believe Long Mo because of his words.
Long Mo directly took out a red book from his arms and handed it over, "This thing should be able to prove my identity!" ”
The red book doesn't look anything special, except for the golden coat of arms of the People's Republic of China on the cover! But what exactly is written in it is unknown.
When the two peasants flipped through the red book that Long Mo handed them, they immediately retracted their previous vigilance, "It turns out that it's really the army!" I'm really sorry, a group of people came to the village before and not only injured our people but also robbed us of food, so now we are more sensitive, I'm really sorry! As he spoke, he also handed the red book to Long Mo, and I have to say that in the hearts of ordinary people in China, Chinese soldiers have a lofty status! This is unique in the whole world!
"It's okay, special treatment at special moments, understandable!" Long Mo took the red book, "That's right! What's going on with that group of people you just talked about? ”
"Alas! It's just some survivors from other places, who ran out of food and had to run over and grab us! It's a group of poor people, but they haven't been seen since! I heard that it was a zombie group that was wiped out! The two peasants sighed as they spoke.
Zombie hordes? Long Mo frowned darkly, this kind of place didn't look like a place where zombie groups could appear!
The formation of zombie herds requires a hard condition, and that is population! It is impossible to form a zombie group without enough people to be infected, but this kind of place does not look like a densely populated place, how can there be a zombie group?
Of course, it was possible that this farmer's alarmism had amplified the facts, or it could be a small-scale zombie wave that had gathered from other places, so Long Mo just thought about it for a while and didn't feel at ease.
"Uncle, how many people are there in your village?"
"I don't know very much about this, but there must be about four hundred and fifty people in general! If you add the old man, there should be five hundred! ”
Long Mo nodded, "Then has anything strange happened in your village recently?" Or has it happened before? ”
The faces of the two peasants changed at the same time, and Long Mo immediately caught this subtle change.
"If there is any difficulty, just talk to us, as long as we can help you, you will definitely not retreat!" Long Mo looked at them and said sincerely.
"Little warrior, you better hurry up and complete your mission! It's not too late to come back and help us when your task is done! After a moment's hesitation, the older farmer excused himself, thinking that Long Mo and the others had some important tasks on them, and he was unwilling to waste their time.
"Don't worry, there is no conflict between helping you and us to complete our mission! The purpose of the army is to serve the people! Long Mo said righteously, as if he really thought he was a soldier!
In fact, after returning to Soy Sauce City, both Long Xiaotian and Ye Pingqiu were trying their best to persuade Long Mo to join the military, but Long Mo, who was reborn, had his own considerations, so he refused! Now he is not a soldier, as for the red book that was handed over to the two peasants before, there are many of those things in Long Xiaotian or Ye Pingqiu's office, Long Mo can just take one by the way!
The two peasants were obviously moved, and Long Mo immediately became angry, "Otherwise, let's do it!" It's getting dark now, I'll go back to your village with you, and tell me what's the trouble on the way!" ”
The two peasants nodded, "Okay!" ”
It turns out that there is a small village of about 500 people not far from the farmland, because it is located in the middle of nowhere and there are few people in normal times, so after the outbreak of the end of the world, it is like an isolated paradise, and it has not been disturbed by too many zombies, even if there are zombies, it is only one or two scattered around, which does not pose any threat!
But just a week ago, since the group of people who had robbed them of their food disappeared, people in their village began to mysteriously disappear one after another every night, and at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that they accidentally encountered zombies and couldn't escape back, and the village only strengthened its defenses. But as time went on, things began to get easier, and more and more people disappeared every night, from one to five, and all of them were young and strong young men or girls.
Later, the village strengthened its defense, and the village chief said that in order to protect the safety of the villagers, we must find a way to catch the murderer behind the scenes! That night, the village names didn't sleep, they all hid in the alleys of the village, waiting for the murderer to appear! Then after midnight the big guy heard a scream, and everyone rushed over! Then everyone saw a monster with a rotten body and a green body, grabbing a young man and a woman and running into the mountains! Everyone was ready to stop it, but no one expected that the green monster would send out a puff of smoke and bring down all the villagers! The big guy can only watch as the pair of young people are captured! ”
Rotting and green? Could it be a zombie?
It's impossible, the first thing ordinary zombies do when they catch people is to bite them to death, zombies who can catch people with wisdom must be high-level zombies! But the strength of high-level zombies is strong, and there is no need to sneak around at all, they can directly bite people to death and eat them and then pat their butts and leave.
But since it's not a zombie, how can it be? Could the looters who disappeared have something to do with the green monsters?
