Chapter Thirty-Eight: An Ambush in the Night

A knee-deep clear river flowed slowly, and the aquatic plants next to it were already turning green. A rugged, narrow mountain road winds its way in the direction of the river, and the setting sun slanted on it, creating a long line of moving shadows on the road.

Coming out of Tianjiatuan, the Beidou team has been chasing all the way west for three consecutive days, but they have not found any trace of vampires, and even the traces of people have begun to become scarce, if it weren't for Ah Bao and Ouyang Minglang insisting on the right direction, Luo Zhigang and the others would even begin to wonder if they had completely lost the traces of vampires.

Shimizu River. When the knight's ass on horseback had been grinding for a whole day and could no longer bear it, a small village next to the river suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The meandering and gentle river suddenly turned into a large bay in the shape of "B", and the small river seemed to hold half the village in its arms at once, and it also became a natural place conducive to defense.

Crossing a mottled stone bridge built in an unknown age on the river, and then walking more than 200 meters to the entrance of the village, as soon as Luo Zhigang's horse head entered the village, a rapid gong suddenly sounded in the village, and in a blink of an eye, forty or fifty young men with sticks and sticks gathered at the entrance of the village, and surrounded Luo Zhigang and others.

Luo Zhigang carefully looked at the surrounding crowd on the horse, and saw that the clothes were very clean, they should be local villagers, although they also looked thin due to long-term malnutrition, but their faces were much better than those in Tianjiatuan camp, and no one had symptoms such as ulcers or tumors caused by radiation.

Seeing that Luo Zhigang and the others did not stand up to speak, a young axle man in the crowd suddenly stood up in a crowd: "Where did you come from, why did you enter Qingshui River?" Outsiders are not welcome here! ”

Luo Zhigang immediately bowed his hand to the people around him: "Everyone, hard work, we came from far away, and we came here to catch a group of extremely vicious murderers, and we found some clues that extend to the village." ”

"I haven't seen the murderer you mentioned, and we don't believe you, so let's go quickly." As the axle man spoke, he turned a big gun in his hand horizontally, and pulled away the posture that he was about to step forward again.

Compared with Tianjiatuan, this is another microcosm of the post-apocalyptic human settlements, where a small group of people gather in one place and exclude any outsiders.

Luo Zhigang looked at the man in front of him and sneered, "Toast and don't eat and drink." As he spoke, he jumped out of his horse directly, and the person had already turned into a minotaur in mid-air, and his feet fell heavily to the ground, and he roared at the crowd in front of him, and the roar washed over the crowd in front of him like a shock wave, and people were so frightened that they fell backwards again and again, and several people in the front row were so frightened that they stumbled under their feet and sat on the ground.

Luo Zhigang stepped forward again, and without waiting for the man with the gun to react, he grabbed the collar on the axle man's chest, and directly lifted the man high with one hand.

"Stop, stop hurting my son!" A shout sounded, and a gray figure rushed out of the village, and arrived in front of Luo Zhigang in a few shakes.

Getting closer, Luo Zhigang also saw the face of the person who came, Jing is also a transformational evolutionary, with short gray hair, a wide forehead, a long face, and two big ears that are longer than the shoulders are particularly eye-catching, and the height of the person who came is more than 2 meters after the transformation, but in front of Luo Zhigang, who is nearly 4 meters tall, he is still like a child.

The visitor looked up at Luo Zhigang like an iron tower and the young man who was struggling in Luo Zhigang's hands like a chicken, but he still didn't dare to make a move, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "This friend, I don't know how many heroes Xiao'er has offended, please raise your noble hand." ”

"It's like a human saying, give it to you." As he spoke, he threw the man in his hand directly to the person who came.

Seeing that Luo Zhigang did not hurt anyone, he bowed to the ground again and returned to the appearance before his transformation, looking like an ordinary rural old man about 50 years old, "My name is Wu Sen, this is my son Wu Yuanyang, the young man is reckless and ignorant, thank you for your patience, but I don't know how a few of you got to our Qingshui River?" ”

Luo Zhigang had to repeat what he had just said.

After hearing this, Wu Sen first turned around and glared at his son fiercely, then with a smile on his face, he raised his hand to make an inviting gesture, "Those who come are guests, a few people from the village, if there is anything I can do a little bit of, just ask me!" ”

The so-called raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since Wu Sen has made a gesture, Luo Zhigang didn't plan to investigate it deeply, so Wu Sen led him directly to the village.

Luo Zhigang led the horse and walked in front and chatted with Wu Sen as he walked, "Brother Wu, have there been any strange things in the village recently?" ”

"If you want to say a strange thing, something just happened today, there are two families in the village with 5 people who suddenly disappeared early this morning, which is why Wu Yuanyang and their young people are so nervous when they see a few people?"

"Oh, it's such a coincidence, I don't know where these two families live, can you take us over now?" Luo Zhigang suddenly felt a great increase in hope.

Wu Sen led Luo Zhigang and the others to two ordinary houses not far from the entrance of the village, these two houses were a little away from the houses of other families in the village, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Ah Bao became excited and circled around Ouyang's legs.

"Brother Luo, Po has confirmed, they have been here." Ouyang Minglang's words finally confirmed Luo Zhigang's guess.

Everyone retreated after turning around in each of the two courtyards, and as expected, there were no corpses, no obvious traces of fighting, and those who didn't know the inside story really thought that the person had disappeared suddenly.

"The people were found missing this morning, and they moved their hands last night, so they must not have run far." Luo Zhigang stood outside the door, hugged his shoulders and held his chin, and muttered to himself.

"Captain Luo, do you know the whereabouts of the missing people in our village?" Wu Sen couldn't help but get nervous.

Luo Zhigang patted Wu Sen on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Your people will never come back, and the murderers are the ones we are looking for." Luo Zhigang suddenly turned his head and asked Chi Hua, "Do you think they will come again tonight?" ”

"From what we've tracked along the way, they're never going to strike the same village twice. The vampire was very cautious, and if no new vampires were developed during this period, they would have nine left, so after the village was alerted, they would not be able to take the village at all, as evidenced by the distance between the two houses and the other people's homes. ”

"If we can determine which village they're going to attack next, is it still too late?" Luo Zhigang suddenly became excited when he thought of this.

"Brother Luo is right, if we can get to the attacked village before them, we may be able to block them." Chi Hua nodded in agreement.

"Brother Ng, how many villages are there closest to your village?" Wu Zhigang excitedly grabbed Wu Sen's arms.

Wu Sen woke up from the news that the villagers had been killed, and was confused by the vampire suddenly mentioned by several people, and saw Luo Zhigang, who was looking at him expectantly, hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, "We are relatively remote here, there are no adjacent villages in front and back, to say that the nearest one is 20 miles to the west, and there is a relatively large town over there." ”

"Okay, great, so that the target is smaller. Let's go now, and we'll be there before it gets dark! Luo Zhigang said that he didn't even ignore saying goodbye to Rosen, and he had already turned over and got on the horse.

Looking at Luo Zhigang, who had already slapped away, Chi Hua couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: "This big brother is really more jealous and hateful than himself, it was really a wise decision to choose to join at the beginning, it seems that he has not been homesick for a long time......"

Chi Huachong, who was standing aside, stunned Wu Sen, lightly arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later!" "Whip away.

……

The night was already deep, and the darkness of the dull night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

The night of early spring was still bitterly cold, and everyone in the Beidou team could only wrap their cloaks tightly and squat in the corners one by one and wait quietly.

Xiqi Town is an ancient town that is basically well preserved, and most of the houses in the town are still in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Because of the remoteness, in addition to the cut off of water and electricity and the circulation of foreign goods, the end of the world does not seem to have brought much change to Xiqi Town, and the people in the town still maintain their original way of life, and people go to bed early as soon as it gets dark.

All that remained of the town was the faint snoring of the sleeping people, the murmuring of dreams, and the happy moans of the unsleeping men and women.

Waiting is hard, waiting is even more difficult to wait if you can't even determine whether the goal can appear, and listening to others moaning happily in bed while waiting for yourself to be frozen outside the window is even more unbearable!

Li Xiaofei wanted to move, he felt that the bones of his whole body were itching, and the lively little fat man couldn't bear it for a moment after enduring it for more than two hours, even if he was punished for starving for a day afterwards, he would have to move.

At the moment when the little fat man stretched his waist and was about to poke his head out of the corner of the wall, he only felt a "whoosh" sound of wind blowing in front of him, Li Xiaofei hurriedly retracted his head, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and in the dark night, one black figure after another floated in front of him.

Li Xiaofei counted, there were a total of eleven figures, Li Xiaofei secretly swallowed saliva, "It's only been a few days, and there are two more vampires!" Li Xiaofei suddenly felt that his body was no longer itchy, but there was a feeling of uncontrollable eagerness to try.

A bright fireball suddenly lit up in the dark night, instantly illuminating most of the street, illuminating eleven black shadows as far as they could be seen.

The glow of the fireball flickered, and the town fell back into darkness, and the battle began at the same moment, and everyone of the Beidou team ambushed on both sides of the street shot at the nearest target at the same time.

A high-pitched, rapid whistling rang out outside the town at the same time, and the eleven vampires on the street did not dare to fight each other and turn around and run.

Chi Hua's face changed at the same time, and he turned around and ran in the direction where the howling sound came from. The vampire was so cunning that it still didn't come in.

The fireballs lit up one after another, accompanied by the wind blades that broke through the air, the throwing knives that shot fiercely, the silver hammers that swung them, and the figures that swooped down, and every time they lit up, a vampire died on the spot.

When the fireball lit up again, there were no more standing vampires in their eyes, leaving only six mangled corpses on the ground.

Luo Zhigang stomped his foot fiercely, "Let's chase!" ”

The bright fireball, the sky-breaking wind blade, and the screams before death finally woke up the sleeping Xiqi Town, when people dared to walk into the street with torches, when people saw strange corpses suddenly appeared on the street, the people of Xiqi Town finally realized that the end of the world is really coming!
