Section II. Calamity
Ling understood that the village chief was also thinking about the village when he said this, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Follow vigorously towards the back of the square.
"There are more fish caught this time, cubs, you click on the number, and divide them to everyone according to the previous division, and the remaining part is put in the pond to raise, and part is handed over to the grandmothers to dry into dried fish, and keep it for future needs. When the daughter-in-law of the bottle family is pregnant, she will give them two more big ones to let the bottle daughter-in-law nourish her body. The village chief confessed to his son, who was standing beside him.
"I see."
"I said Daddy Strong, and Daddy Fisherman, do you think that outsider is a little familiar?" After explaining the matter, the village chief said to several elderly people around him who were also elderly.
"Don't say it, you mention it, I really think he's seen it somewhere......" Daddy also tried to recall.
"You think he can really cure your old woman?" Another old man, the fisherman's father, said to the strong father.
"Accept your fate, if it can be cured, it means that the old woman can continue to waste everyone's food, and if it can't be cured, it also means that she is at the right time." Although Daddy said this, his eyes were filled with tears.
Ling, who followed vigorously walking, looked around, the houses here are all made of wood, at a glance, there can be hundreds of households here, children can be seen playing on the road, women are washing clothes and collecting some dried fish and wild vegetables to dry during the day, some of the younger men are repairing the houses, some are fetching water, this is a real small village, Ling is still a little envious of this life.
"I'm here." Dali and Ling stopped in front of a wooden house. A woman's cough could be heard inside the room.
The two pushed the door open and entered the house, only to see an elderly woman in her 50s lying on the wooden bed, and a woman in her 20s next to the bed feeding the woman water from the bowl. After seeing the two of them enter the house, they got up.
"Brother, you're back, how was your harvest this time?"
"It's not bad, the village chief, where are they assigned on the side of the square, I'll come back first, you go to the square to get it, I'll bring a doctor from the central circle, let him see our mother's illness." Said vigorously to the woman.
"Doctor?" The woman looked at Ling. "You're a doctor in the Central Circle, please look at my mother, she's been coughing for a long time."
"Let me see." Ling came to the old woman's side, first probed the old woman's forehead and tested the body temperature, felt a little hot, the body temperature was very high, rolled the old woman's eyes, checked the old woman's body, there were some small red acne on the body, and the skin on the chest and back of the body was slightly purple-black...... Ling has seen this symptom, this is a symptom of being infected with a xenomorph virus, it is only mild, if it is a young person, even if you don't take medicine, drink more clean water and it will naturally get better after a while, but the old woman's situation should be infected for a long time, plus her own physical condition is not good, so she has not been cured.
"Are there any other people in your village who are in this situation?" Ling asked. If this case is found to be infected, there should be other people, and it is not certain how they were infected, but if certain measures are not taken, the number of infected people should increase, and the elderly and children will not be easily cured.
"Hmm...... In fact, before my mother, Xiaoliu's grandmother also had such a disease, but she didn't survive and left, and then my mother, and then there were a lot of people in the village who got this kind of disease, can you cure it? ”
"This is not a serious disease, it's just an alien virus, and it's mild, you give me some boiling water, boiling water." Ling said.
"This water is freshly boiled, I'll pour you a bowl." The vigorous sister poured the water from the kettle on the stove into the bowl and handed it to Ling.
Ling took out the leaves of the holy sandalwood that Zhuge Xun gave him when he was in the second district from his waist bag. I heard Zhuge Xun say to himself that this leaf can be detoxified by soaking it in water, so let's try it.
Ling took a bowl of boiling water and soaked a leaf in the water, the water was dyed dark green by the leaves, and then picked out the veins and placed them in the empty bowl on the side. "You take another empty bowl, pour this boiling water in two bowls to cool, and then give it to your mother to drink, if the color on her chest fades, it means that she will be fine."
"Leave it to me." The younger sister took the bowl in Ling's hand and stepped aside to do what Ling said.
After a while, the boiling water was poured into lukewarm water, and the old woman was lifted up, and the water in the bowl was drunk, and then she was laid flat on the bed.
After lying down, the old woman suddenly coughed violently, and felt a little out of breath. Seeing this, Dali and his sister hurriedly helped the old woman up again, and looked at Ling while beating her on the back.
Ling has never experienced this situation, and can only try, and the previous infections were all special drugs issued by the Hunter Association, and now I don't know this situation.
The old woman, who had been coughing for a while, stopped coughing after coughing up a mouthful of black blood, and her complexion calmed down. I fed her some water again, and with the confirmation of my sister, the skin color on the front and back of the old woman's chest was much lighter than before.
"I feel better." The old woman said to her daughter beside her.
"Thank you so much!" Vigorously thanked Ling.
"You're welcome, I still have some special medicine for infection, you can take me to your water source in a while, and pour the medicine into the water so that anyone who can use the water can be treated more or less." Ling said.
"I'll take you to the well at the head of the village." After a few words of explanation to his sister, he took Ling back to the small square at the head of the village.
When the two came to the square, the village chief and some other elders were still there, and when they saw the two of them coming, the village chief asked, "How is your mother's illness?" ”。
"It's a lot better, thanks to this doctor." Vigorously replied.
"Really? Thank you so much, look at the rest of our village, can you help me too? The village chief asked Ling.
"Let me ask, have you been here lately with aliens or something? The mother of the strong is infected with the alien virus, but it is mild enough to be fatal, so I want to know how you got infected. ”
"Alien virus? Did any of you spot an alien? The village chief turned back to the others and asked.
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Aliens are not only creatures that don't look like people, but also mutated livestock, animals, and infected plants are also possible?"
"This ...... We really didn't pay attention, and to be honest, we couldn't tell what was infected. The village chief said ashamedly.
"Okay, can you take me to your drinking water source?" Ling wanted to use Zhuge Xun's method in the first district.
"Come with us." The village chief and several other elders walked towards the well at the head of the village, along with Dali and Ling.
It was a well-guarded well, and it took a great deal of effort for the four men to remove the manhole cover, revealing the bottomless water inside.
Ling leaned over the wellhead and looked down, it was deep and dark, and the bottom could hardly be seen. The village chief ordered someone to fetch a bucket of water for Ling to see. Ling scooped up a scoop of water and took a sip, but she didn't feel anything strange, Zhuge Xun should know more about this kind of thing.
At this time, the big hanging bell at the head of the village suddenly rang rapidly.
"Oh no!"
As the village chief was talking, he saw two people from the village hurriedly running over and saying to the village chief: "Our patrols in the back mountains have found monsters, and there are dozens of them, what should the village chief do?!" ”
"Don't panic! At the time of training, the young men took their weapons, put up the fence, and gathered the women and children together on this side of the square, and waited for me to come and see. ”
"Monsters?" Ling asked vigorously around him.
"The last time was about a year ago, our village was attacked by those monsters, we sacrificed more than fifty people to drive the monsters away, I didn't expect these monsters to come back after so long, you should also go to the square with them." Dali, because Ling saved his mother, didn't want Ling to be hurt by the attacking monsters.
"I'll go with you to see what happens, maybe I can help." Ling said.
"Okay, but be careful yourself."
Ling followed the other young men and walked towards the spot where the monster had been found.
"How's it going?" The crowd came to the back of the fence and asked the villagers who were guarding the fence about the situation.
"Those monsters are over there, you should be able to see them, they seem to be looking for a moment."
Ling looked in the direction they were pointing, and could vaguely see the monster they were talking about. "It's ......"
"How do you know how to deal with them?" Vigorously asked Ling beside him.
"It is not known for the time being, but these monsters are different from the mutated species that have been discovered before." Ling said. The monster seen in the distance looks more like a wolf, but it is about twice as big as a normal wolf, because of the distance, it is estimated that their smallest size is about two meters, with long and pointed ears, and their eyes are bigger and brighter.
"Be careful!" I heard only a human scream and an animal howl.
The young man with the harpoon in his hand was poking at a monster that was running alone, and the howl of the animal he had just heard was from the monster. After a while, the monster was inserted to death, and I don't know how many holes were inserted in the body, and there was no complete place left.
"They should have sent this one to test us first." Someone reported to the village chief.
"Everyone, be careful, the man who died just now, drag him to the back, and then deal with it." The village chief instructed everyone to continue to keep an eye on the monsters on the other side.
Ling could see the monster by the light of the torch. The monster didn't have any hair on its body, its skin was bare and purple-red, and the scars left by the scabs could be seen, but the monster's teeth were much denser and sharper than those of ordinary wolves, and it still had a piece of flesh that had just been torn from a human in its mouth. The monster's predecessor was supposed to be a wild wolf, infected with the residual radiation from 'that war', and gradually adapted to the radiation, mutating into its current form, as evidenced by their skin. And after the war, the number of people has also decreased a lot, which also gives these wild animals more living space, so they can develop to this scale, there should be about 30 to 50 on the opposite side, but the environment here is not suitable for them to live, is it that they have no intention of coming here, but I heard the village chief say that they also came once a year ago, it is not accidental......
The monsters in the depths of the trees did not dare to attack rashly when they saw their companions being killed, and they all wandered looking for an opportunity to attack.
"What should we do next, if they go together, we can't stand it, there are too many of them this time!" Some young people asked the village chief for his opinion.
"Now I can only resist desperately. Light a fire in the ditch in front of the fence, maybe they are afraid of the fire and will not dare to come easily. Also, build a few more fires on the side, animals are instinctively afraid of fire. After all, the village chief was well-informed, and after giving an explanation to the young man, he continued to keep an eye on the actions of the monster on the opposite side.
The monsters on the opposite side saw that there were a lot of fires on this side, and there was a wall of fire as a cover, so they were somewhat afraid.
"Pay attention to the torches in your hands and the fire on the ground, you can't burn the mountain until you have to, and we will live on this mountain in the future." The village chief reminded the others.
At this time, I heard a long howl from the opposite side, and saw that the monsters that were still wandering before rushed towards this side as if they had received orders, ran to the front of the wall of fire and stopped, and continued to wander on the other side of the wall of fire.
It was only through the light of the fire that everyone could really see the monsters, but the number and the hideous appearance and the terrible howls that came out of their mouths made a few juniors in the crowd sit on the ground in fright, and only some of the older people were still on the alert for the actions of the opposite side.
Ling saw that there was a huge monster with a body of more than three meters at the back of the opposite wolf pack, which should be the wolf head, and if that one was eliminated, these should be easier to deal with.
Apparently the others understood this, and several young men with strength threw their harpoons at the opposite side, hoping to hit the target, but as soon as the harpoon flew over the wall of fire, it was bitten by the wolves in the front row, and the wolves were enraged, and let out a uniform frequency of howls as if to force themselves over the wall of fire.
"They're getting used to fire, they're going to attack it, should we throw torches over?" Someone asked the village chief.
"Wait, if you don't hold it well, it may cause a wildfire, you go back and let the rest of the village evacuate to the beach." The village chief explained.
"I can't die yet, my mother-in-law just had a child, I'm going to be a father, I don't want to die at this time, I'll fight you for the animals!" The man standing at the edge of the fence, called 'Bottle', threw his harpoon over the wall of fire and then crossed the fence towards the opposite side.
"Come back! Bottle! Cover him! The village chief yelled at the others.
Just as everyone was about to fight to the death with the monster, the crowd was shooting a glittering arrow at the monster that was about to attack the bottle, and suddenly the monster was surrounded by the fire and let out a terrible howl.
"...... you?" Dali saw Ling standing beside him conjure a glowing arrow and a glowing bow from his hand out of thin air, and then the bow shot the arrow, and the monster that was hit by the arrow caught fire and was burned to death in a short time.
At this time, everyone's eyes were also focused on this outsider. The village chief's eyes flashed with strange horror.
Ling came to the village chief and said, "You make them all retreat, my arrows won't cause wildfires, let me deal with these monsters." ”
"What's your name?" The village chief stared at the young man in front of him.
"Ling."
"Your real name?"
"Yes."
"Oh no, the monster on the other side...... Yes! Save me! "The person who had just spoken was bitten by the thigh of the monster that had already crossed the wall of fire and thrown to the opposite side of the wall of fire.
Ling once again gathered the arrow of electricity in his hand and shot at the monster, and the monster that was shot was also mixed with blue fire, and the miserable cry made the people present tremble for a while.
"Everyone back off!" Ling said, gathering a large number of electric arrows in his hand, aiming at the monster on the opposite side and launching them. Although Hongyue and Zhuge Xun both let themselves pay attention to their bodies, if they didn't help now, these villagers would all be here.
As the last arrow of electricity was fired, a little blood spilled from Ling's mouth, but Ling didn't feel any discomfort in her body. With a howl, the wolf king on the opposite side was also burned to charcoal.
"You're bleeding, it doesn't matter to your body, you're so powerful, you can actually send out electricity?!" Seeing blood flowing from the corner of Ling's mouth, Dali hurriedly stepped forward to support Ling.
"Extinguish the fire. Don't let the fire go into the mountains. The village chief said to the others. Then he walked in front of Ling.
"Are you a little ......?"
Hearing this name, Ling raised his head fiercely, and his eyes met the eyes of the village chief. "I ...... Yes, you ...... Be? ”
"You scourge!"
