Chapter 282: Uncle Zhuang
"System, this time check if there are people inside the manor." Feng Jing said to the system again.
She couldn't detect it just now because there was a large field here, and she didn't believe that there could be another field in this field.
"Host, no human detected." However, the system's words made Feng Jing puzzled again.
The fruits and vegetables here are growing well, and at first glance, someone is carefully cared for, so it stands to reason that someone should exist.
Could it be that the people here have left here to run errands for the time being?
After all, there are doubts, although Feng Jing believes what the system says, he still feels that he should be careful.
"Well, let's split into two teams, one team will wait at the door, and the other team will follow me into the manor to find out."
The door on the other side of the field is still open, and the wall is three or four meters high, and although it is not impossible to climb over the wall, it is always very troublesome. So they decided to enter the manor through the gate anyway.
Feng Jing and Qin Yao walked at the forefront, slowly pushing open the gate while defending.
When you open the door, there are several houses inside, which do not look exquisite, but they are also simple and atmospheric.
Leading to the house is a long passageway, which is wide and level, clean and bright.
There is no visible danger for the time being, and no one is seen.
But even so, it should not be taken lightly.
Feng Jing and Qin Yao cautiously led the people along the aisle towards the house, but before they could take a few steps, the ground in front of them, which was only two meters away, suddenly separated to both sides and divided into a dark square passage about one meter long.
The sudden change made Feng Jing and Qin Yao immediately vigilant, and they quickly stopped.
Then, without waiting for them to be nervous for long, an old man over half a hundred years old walked out of the passage.
The old man came up from underground, and when he stood on the ground and stood in front of Feng Jing and them, the dark passage to the underground was immediately closed.
"I don't know who you are, why did you trespass on my manor?" The old man stood in front of Feng Jing and Qin Yao defenselessly, and said slowly, looking like an ordinary old man.
But when he saw a team that had obviously experienced a battle in the manor, he was so calm that he seemed to see an ordinary passer-by on the side of the road. This is obviously not quite normal.
"Please forgive me. We've just fought the infected, and it's so remote that we only come across a place where we can rest on your manor, so we come uninvited. Trespassing is our mistake, and I ask my uncle to forgive me. ”
It was their fault for trespassing on the house, and this old man's attitude towards them was not aggressive, so Feng Jing and Qin Yao also apologized very modestly.
Then he made a sincere request: "We are physically and mentally exhausted from the battle, and I hope that the old man can take us in and repair it." We will abide by the rules of this manor, and we will not disturb any flowers or plants here, nor will we cause you trouble. ”
"Fought with the intested? Not far from here is the Xu family's camp, isn't it more convenient to go there? ”
Regarding Feng Jing's words, this old man obviously didn't believe it all, but he didn't deliberately refute him.
Although he asked rhetorically, he turned around and led the way, letting them follow him into the house.
"We just left this Xu family camp." The old man's words surprised both Feng Jing and Qin Yao.
It suddenly occurred to them that if this old man was just an ordinary person, he would not know what kind of strength the Xu family camp under the manor had. At most, I know that there is such a place.
Besides, with such a large manor, he is alone, has he really not encountered an infected person during this period?
If so, how did he survive?
It seems that this old man is also a stranger nine times out of ten.
The most important thing is that the system has not detected the existence of this old man at all.
The old man should be very close to them just now, and with the ability of the system, he can't detect this old man, and it seems that his ability is also extraordinary.
As for system failures? Feng Jing didn't even think about this possibility, it didn't exist at all.
"So you're the one who has been in the lab lately." After listening to Feng Jing's answer, the old man smiled and said.
This sentence is said lightly, but it is indeed like thunder on the ground in Feng Jing's ears.
Almost subconsciously, they made a defensive posture.
I even know all this, it seems that this old man is not an ordinary person, but he doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.
"Don't be nervous, when it comes to the lab, I'm not with them either. The enemy of your enemy is your friend, and you don't have to be so vigilant. ”
When the old man said this, he sneered, and he could be said to have a grudge against the laboratory.
The old man's words made Feng Jing and Qin Yao look at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.
"My surname is Zhuang, and I am now the owner of this manor. If you are at ease, let me settle for the time being. As for me, it's not that I can't tell you, but at the same time, I need to know about the feud between you and the lab. ”
Seeing that Feng Jing and Qin Yao didn't speak, the old man naturally knew that they had scruples in their hearts, so he took the lead in proposing to exchange information.
Feng Jing and Qin Yao naturally responded in one bite.
Fortunately, this manor is big enough, and so many people have come, and they have barely settled all of them.
After placing the others, Feng Jing and Qin Yao followed the old man into the study on the second floor.
In the meantime, Lin Huaijin and Nan Ci still wanted to follow along, for fear that the old man would have some conspiracy, but they were stopped by Feng Jing and Qin Yao.
Feng Jing said their affairs provocatively, after all, she didn't know the roots, but she still picked and said them well.
Uncle Zhuang naturally understood, but he didn't care, after all, it didn't affect the transaction between them.
The exchange of information is only a means, and there is only one purpose, to unite against the laboratory.
"My experience is completely different from yours. Compared to your fierce resistance, I had no resistance in the first place. ”
When Uncle Zhuang said this, his eyes became cloudy, as if he was recalling some unbearable things.
"I'm a test subject who can't help myself, and I didn't have the slightest hope of escaping, but some time ago, something seemed to have happened to the laboratory, and I was relaxed and found a chance to escape. While escaping the lab, I also took some seeds with me. Those seeds are now planted in the fields outside the estate. ”
"On the field outside the manor? Are you saying that those vegetables and fruits are actually seeds developed in the laboratory? ”
Feng Jing was very surprised, those vegetables and fruits looked verdant and attractive, but he didn't expect them to be produced in the laboratory.
