Chapter 57 The Village
A dense forest of mutations, in which smoke curls from cooking, there are traces of human habitation.
It was a small village, with a few children playing on the muddy path, which was completely different from the surrounding snow-covered world, and the village seemed to be isolated.
In fact, this is not a strange thing, this place is located in the dense mutant forest, the existence of the mutant forest isolates the surrounding ice and snow, the characteristics of the plants before the nuclear winter can purify the air, the mutated plants can not only become stronger, but also their characteristics have also been mutated, otherwise how can they survive under this nuclear winter.
It's a pity that there aren't many of these mutant forests on the entire planet, and the cultivation of mutated plants is very difficult, and it is almost impossible to cultivate a large area, otherwise how could most of the humans still cower in underground shelters.
In addition to repelling the breath emitted by the beasts and machines, they are still very tolerant of foreign objects, ordinary humans can live in the mutated forest if they want, but the mutant forest with human survival will continue to attract the surrounding beasts, so the biggest danger for the humans living here is that if the mutant forest is attacked by the beasts, then they can't live.
However, they have lived here for at least ten years, during which time there have been no less than 100 beast attacks, each of which has been killed by mutated plants or by the mechanical envoys in the village.
There are mechanical envoys in the village, and the moment they enter the territory of the mutant forest, they will withdraw their consciousness machine into their body, and they will not reveal a trace of consciousness machine breath.
In every incident of the beast attack, they are the people who fight on the front line, and only when they really face the invincible beast will they use the hands of mutated plants to kill, under normal circumstances, they are all alone to solve those problems that are not difficult.
Suddenly, the children playing on the muddy path seemed to see something, and they ran towards the village, shouting something, and if you listened carefully, you could hear what they were shouting.
"Sister Xin is back! Sister Xin is back! ”
......
The voices of the children echoed in the small village, and the village, which had been sparsely populated, seemed to come to life, and people came out of the low earthen houses, more or less carrying the tools for cooking, and they were obviously very eager.
"It's really Xin girl back!"
This is an adult with a stick in his hand, he thought it was a prank of the children, and was about to teach them a lesson, when he happened to see the figure of Sister Xin in the children's mouth, he quickly put down the stick in his hand.
"Xin girl is finally back, and I don't know how many supplies I brought back this time."
"You don't need to think about how many supplies you brought back, but why is it that only Xin Yatou came back alone this time, and what about the others?"
"Oh, what the hell, won't Xin Yatou tell us later, the main thing now is to welcome our hero back!"
"Yes, yes, go meet the heroes!"
......
A group of adults hurriedly ran up to ward off the cold and ask for warmth.
In the face of the concern of the people of the whole village, the Xin girl in their mouths is really unnatural, and the pain in her eyes can be seen in sharp eyes.
"What's wrong with Xinya? Is something happening? ”
Finally, everyone noticed the pain in her eyes, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Why didn't he come back?"
"And Erzhuang hasn't come back either, is something wrong?"
......
A group of people chattered and asked, but their voices made her even more uncomfortable, and finally one of them, who looked more dignified, stopped their gossip.
"Let's be quiet, let Xin Yatou talk about it slowly!"
The more dignified man looked at her when he finally had no sound.
"Xin girl, tell me what's going on."
She looked at the encouragement in his eyes, although she didn't want to tell the villagers, but she also knew that as the relatives of those people, they had the right to know, not to mention that she couldn't hide it at all, after all, those people were sacrificed, she could hide it for a while, but she couldn't hide it for a lifetime, maybe she could choose to leave this village, but then her conscience would hurt!
She had been brewing for a long time, and finally she decided to tell them.
"Uncle Yang, we met the refuge in the refuge to encircle and suppress the rebels, Da Niu and they all died when they retreated, if it wasn't for Da Niu and they hid me in a dilapidated house, I guess I would have ......"
Hearing the words from Xin Yatou's mouth, it was no less than a lightning bolt struck their heads, and suddenly a few women in the crowd fainted, and the rest of the people were not much better, and they didn't cry, which can be regarded as their patience.
"Ah~ damn rebels, damn shelter!"
A man's angry fist smashed on the muddy ground, and with a bang, a hole appeared on the ground that was twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and the man's movements could be said to have frightened the people around him, only to see that they hurriedly persuaded the man, this is a mutant forest, and the consequences of using the ability of the consciousness machine in it are very serious, if it weren't for the fact that they can survive here for so long, they can accurately control the breath of the consciousness machine, and the attack of the mutant plant has appeared.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone!"
Xin Yatou bowed to everyone and said, those people were not killed directly by her, but in her opinion, she killed them indirectly, if she hadn't been clamoring to follow, there would not have been a follower to attract the attention of the Vault in order to protect her, and they would not have died.
"Ah, Miss Xin, what are you doing here?"
Uncle Yang saw Xin Yatou like this, and hurriedly helped her up.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been clamoring to follow, Brother Da Niu wouldn't have ......"
"Okay, Xin girl, it's not your fault, this is the fate of the big bull, no one thought that this would happen this time, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, it's not your fault, they don't want to see you like this."
......
The villagers hurriedly comforted them, they are all sensible people, and naturally it is impossible to blame the death of the big bull on the head of Xin Yatou, even if everyone is very sad in their hearts, but they also know who they should hate.
"Xiu'er, come and take your sister Xin down to rest, remember not to leave your sister Xin, you know?"
"Yes, Abba!"
As soon as Uncle Yang's words fell, a little girl squeezed in from the side and left with Xin.
None of the people present cared whether Xin Yatou had brought back the supplies, and they didn't want to pay attention to the supplies at this time, and they were still silent in the grief caused by the bad news.
"Uncle, if it goes on like this, how can we continue? Xiaobao, they're still young, it doesn't matter if we die, children, what should we do? ”
A man with red eyes walked up to Uncle Yang and asked with a crying voice.
"Has it reached this point between the Vault and the rebels? It seems that we have to make plans as soon as possible, you go back to take care of the children first, and then come to my house when they are asleep, and now let me think about what to do. ”
At this time, the man who was replaced with Uncle Yang also had some confusion in his mind, and he needed to be quiet.
After Uncle Yang left, the people present also left in twos and threes, they knew that they were useless here, and after going home first to take care of their children, they would discuss a result after all.
