Tonight it was very windy in Lulongong, and the moon appeared and disappeared behind the clouds. The wind shook the crops and trees, sending a rustling sound through the window into the room.

Ding Xiu stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the shadows of the trees outside the window.

Everything here is different from the camp.

After dinner, Liang Shangang arranged a large room for the three of them, and the location was close to the back cliff on the mountain, with a good view.

Looking into the distance from here, Ding Xiu could still see the sand dunes under the canopy of the sky in the distance.

"What are you thinking? Ding Xiu. Shen You saw him in a daze by the window, so he asked curiously.

"I don't know what I'm thinking, but when I quiet down, I feel like my mind is a little messy." Ding Xiu turned his head and glanced at Shen You, then rubbed his head again, "There are so many things that happened today......

"I'll just get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow the sun will rise again." Gu Beimo picked up a plate of millet peanuts in the room and walked to Ding Xiu's side, "Eat something?" This thing helps with digestion and sleep. ”

Millet peanut, like rice and potato, is also the result of the development of human genetic engineering technology, which integrates the genes of various crops such as millet and peanut, of which these two genes account for the highest proportion.

Millet is a cereal, called yellow rice in some places in the Old World, and is very versatile, from grinding flour to making pastries and making wine. Like peanuts, it is a drought-resistant crop, so it was later widely used in gene fusion experiments on crops.

"Old Gu, how do you know how to eat." Shen You sat on the edge of the bed, supported his chin with both hands, and complained to him: "At this time, I think you should enlighten Ding Xiu more." ”

"Xiao Ding is a smart person, why do you need my enlightenment. Besides, after a full meal, this millet peanut tastes really good, and I seem to be hungry again when I smell it. Gu Beimo smacked his lips, twisted his two fingers and threw the cyan broad bean-sized millet peanuts on the plate into his mouth, and his teeth chewed and made a crunch sound.

"Really delicious? I'll taste it too. As soon as Shen You finished complaining about Gu Beimo, the gluttonous worms in her stomach were caught, she jumped out of bed and snatched the plate in Gu Beimo's hand, and also picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth to taste the taste.

"Well, yes, it's crunchy and has a bit of salt and pepper."

After the girl tasted it, she handed the plate to Ding Xiu, "Ding Xiu, you can taste it too." ”

The three of them sat by the window and ate peanuts.

"Old Gu, do you think we still want to go to Xingtang Town?" Ding Xiu asked suddenly.

"I'm going." Gu Beimo nodded and lowered his voice, "Although doing business in Lulong Village is going well, there is a shortage of ammunition and gasoline that we need most. The old village chief Liang Shangang also said that these two things were stuck in Xingtang Town. ”

"But didn't he say that Xingtang Town has become a den of bandits?" Ding Xiu was a little puzzled.

"We can't believe Liang Shangang's words." Gu Beimo continued: "Lulong Village and Xingtang Town are at loggerheads, this is a matter between them, although we have just finished trading with Lulong Village, it does not mean that we have to stand on the opposite side of Xingtang Town. ”

"First of all, we need to figure out what our needs are here." Gu Beimo especially emphasized the word demand.

"Supplies." Ding Xiu said.

"Yes." Gu Beimo picked up a few more millet peanuts from the plate in Shen You's hand and threw them into his mouth and chewed, "Next, there are still thousands of kilometers to go to Nangang, there are still thousands of kilometers to go to Brilliant City, without bullets and gasoline, we can't go far." ”

"I see." Ding Xiu's face swept away the previous confusion, "My destination is Brilliant City. ”

"That's how it should be, lad." Gu Beimo patted him on the shoulder, and was about to turn around and walk towards his bed, when he suddenly saw several small insects flying in from the window and landing on Shen You's shoulder.

"Your friends are still outside?" Gu Beimo asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of fruits and vegetables planted on the mountain, and they can eat enough." Shen You looked like he had picked up a bargain.

She touched the head of a bug with her hand, and suddenly her face changed, "Di Bee said that there is a situation under the mountain!" ”

Di Bee was the little flying insect that had just stopped on the girl's shoulder.

"What's the situation?" Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo asked in unison.

"They said that the people behind the wall at the foot of the hill were dead...... A few kilometers away, there are many cars coming this way. Shen You originally just wanted to ask the bees if they were happy eating on Lulonggang, but he unexpectedly heard such news.

"Skull and Bones Meeting?!" The same name popped up in Ding Xiu's and Gu Beimo's heads almost at the same time.

"Let's hurry up and find Village Chief Liang Shangang, shall we?" Ding Xiu said.

"Wait, we haven't figured out the situation ourselves now, and we definitely won't be able to win Liang Shangang's trust. And didn't Xiao Yougang say that there are still many cars coming this way, I wonder if this is a little strange. ”

"What's the matter?" Shen You asked.

"Since their car is on its way, how did the people down the mountain die?" Ding Xiu had already thought of the crux of the matter.

"Xiao Ding is right, this is where the strange thing lies." Gu Beimo nodded.

"I'll go down the hill and have a look." Ding Xiu jumped to the windowsill, and as soon as the words fell, the figure had already reached the window.

"Be careful, we don't have any guys." Gu Beimo admonished.

"And this." Ding Xiu patted the dagger hanging from his waist, and then the figure disappeared into the darkness.

By the moonlight, Ding Xiu shuttled through the rugged mountain road, in order not to alarm the villagers and the enemies lurking in the shadows, he did not take the road of the mountain in the evening, but found another way from the side.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Ding Xiu saw the wall at the entrance to the mountain from a distance. Above the wall, several lights flickered in the night breeze, but there was not a single sentry figure in the light.

He slowed his pace slightly, trying not to make a sound as much as he approached. When they got closer, a corpse appeared on the ground.

The nearest corpse fell to the ground, and Ding Xiu walked over to turn it over, only to see a finger-sized blood hole in the corpse's chest. In the light, dark red blood trickled out of the wound like water in a spring.

The corpse had gradually turned from warm to cold, but there was still a trace of heat.

Ding Xiu walked forward and examined the second corpse. The dead villager leaned against the corner of the wall, his body in a posture that was about to fall but not fall, and the wound was in the neck, a hole the size of a finger, like the first corpse.

Blood ran down his neck and all over his upper body, staining the corners and the ground red, and the corpse stared straight ahead, a dead expression on his face.

Ding Xiu reached out and closed his eyes, and continued to walk carefully inside.

The wall was dozens of meters long, and Ding Xiu walked all the way along the wall, and when he counted it, there were as many as eight or nine corpses. The wounds on their bodies are almost identical, with the only difference being their location.

Sharp weapons penetrate vital points, and almost all of them are killed with one hit!

Ding Xiu's heart was cold, and he suddenly noticed the sound of a car engine in the wind, he quietly climbed up the wall, looked outside, and found that there was a row of black shadows slowly coming towards this side under the night.

Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes, hid his body behind the wall, and then took the gun next to a corpse in his hand.

……

A convoy was approaching in the night, and the lights were not on, and it would have been difficult for anyone to spot them had it not been for the occasional slip of the moon out of the clouds.

"I'd love to put on some upbeat music to cheer up our sneak attack tonight."

"You fucking said it was a sneak attack, and you still play music?"

"Ha, the 'butcher' must have already touched those mud-legged guards at the bottom of the mountain, I don't think there's anything wrong with putting some music on at the moment, besides, who told me that I'm still a person covered in music germs."

"I've told your mother 10,000 times, it's cells, music cells."

"It doesn't matter if it's bacteria or cells, I'm so excited that I just want to sing and shoot now."

The two people in the car were arguing about whether or not to play music, when suddenly the man in the driver's seat saw a figure appear in front of the car, and he braked the car to stop, and the other cars behind the car also stopped.

"It's the butcher." The man said to his companion in the passenger seat, then pushed the door open and walked over.

His companion came out of the car, and the two of them came to the figure together.

"The sentry posts under the mountain have all been touched?" The man asked.

"That's it." The voice of the man called "Butcher" was a little hoarse, and there seemed to be a slight chill in the night wind, which made people shudder when it reached the ears of the two of them.

"Awesome!" The man gave a thumbs up.

"You're so slow, I've been waiting here for at least a quarter of an hour."

"Dude, if you don't drive the lights and walk at night, we can't get up fast if we want to." The person sitting in the passenger seat just now said.

"Hey, since you're bored waiting, why don't you go to the mountains and cut a few more people?" There was a bit of sarcasm in the words of the man who led the team.

"How much money you take, how much you do, if you want me to go up the mountain, you have to add money." There was not a trace of emotion in the voice of the "butcher", and it was as cold as a machine.

"It's a good thing, and talking about money hurts feelings. However, I will also say in passing, the chairman asked us to attack Lulonggang, both for land and people, and to beat them just so that we could better sit down and talk later. Killing them all is not our goal, and it will not solve the problem. ”

"Let's go to the 'inspection'." The "butcher" gestured towards the entrance to the mountain in Lulongong.

The man in charge of the convoy nodded, and picked one of his companions to inspect the fence.

The "butcher" stood in the wind, staring coldly at the man's cowering back, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes for the members of the Skull and Bones Society.

He didn't bother to be in the company of these rabble, but he came to a remote town in the western region to escape the vendetta, so he took a few orders to improve his life.

The man sent to check on the situation was vigilantly watching ahead, and he walked towards the wall, when suddenly there was a flash of fire in the darkness near the wall, and by the time the gunshots rang out, the man's body had collapsed to the ground.
