The pitch-black sky seemed to be covered by a huge black curtain, without revealing a trace of starlight, and they all seemed to be far away from the earth, leaving only cold and black ink.

Black, it always gives people an oppressive sense of suffocation, making people uncomfortable.

Everyone's hair was already stained with frost, but no one stopped until a faint light appeared in the sky, and the vision gradually cleared, and the air that seemed to freeze gradually softened. Ah Yi's frowning brows also relaxed.

"Take a break."

Ah Yi, who was walking in front, finally spoke up, dispelling the tense atmosphere that lingered in the crowd, and everyone's tense nerves were finally relaxed and relieved.

Zhou He let out a breath of heat, rubbed his somewhat stiff hands, sat down on the spot, and took out a piece of jerky from the skin bag hanging on his waist to bite it to comfort his cold and tired body.

Ah Yi sat cross-legged in front of Zhou He, the expression on his face became more and more relaxed, this time he went out hunting, came to a strange hunting ground, not only smooth, but also without any casualties, which made him feel very satisfied. The nerves that had been tense at all times were finally relieved.

"The village is going to move······ Where will it go? ”

Swallowing the jerky in his mouth, Zhou He asked curiously. And just out of curiosity.

Ah Yishu's brows furrowed again, twisted into a Sichuan character, and then stretched out again, staring at Zhou He calmly.

What kind of person is this?

There is no malice, no pure goal······ The character image is overly perfect, he has the kindness to pass on knowledge to the public, and has a gentle temperament······ There is also a mystery that seems to come from a strange world. What does he want to do? Where did it come from? And when will they leave?

He didn't feel any distance from this man, he never had distance, he was as incomprehensible as air that could be touched but not seen.

The feeling of being stared at by a pair of weathered eyes did make him feel an inexplicable pressure, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong, which would attract Ah Yi's attention.

"Where will it go?"

Ah Yi withdrew his gaze and turned his head to stare in the direction of the village: "There has never been a real place where we can put down roots. ”

He turned his head, furrowed his frown, closed his eyes weakly, chewed the food in his mouth, leaned back against the wheels of the rickshaw, and exuded a rare tired gesture, as if he had no desire to continue.

Zhou He savored what Ah Yi said, the active cells in his body suddenly quieted down, he raised his head, looked at the sky with wide eyes, he wanted to see clearly, is this really the same sky?

Unable to root.

Don't have a land of your own?

The silent sigh from the bottom of his heart contained too many complex emotions that made him more and more at a loss in this strange world.

"So where the hell should I go?"

He asked himself seriously in his heart, there is no goal, there is no purpose, even if he really sees the world clearly. Full of unknowns and dangers, it is like an ugly and extremely distorted oil painting, and no one with any aesthetic quirk can appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts. It's not a tourist attraction to be seen, and is it really a pure tourist?

After an hour's rest, Ah Yi opened his eyes from his pretense of sleep, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, got up and patted his buttocks, and shouted: "It's time to go, you should go back early, the people in the village are still waiting." ”

Zhou He took a breath of heat, rubbed his hands, got up to help push the manpower cart, and as everyone continued to set off, trying to make himself feel that he had integrated into the group. But that thinking from more than a hundred years ago has drawn an insurmountable chasm around him.

Maybe time can change that.

He thought, comforting himself.

By noon, their unexpected appearance shattered the calm of the crowd and brought a little panic.

It should have been very smooth, but I didn't expect to encounter a group of ghouls who were out foraging here, and they emerged from a black, charred mountain, and then let out a hoarse and piercing scream, and more and more ghouls emerged from the other side of the mountain.

Everyone looked at each other, and they could find the tension in each other's eyes. The third wave.

What's going on? Could it be that the ghoul mother is in this area?

No one can tell them the truth.

"Speed up!"

Ah Yi pursed his chapped lips, slapped the wheels of the car with his hand and urged, taking advantage of the distance between them to be thousands of meters, while they had not yet run to the front, to open a little distance and avoid direct contact with them. Zhou He, who had not experienced this kind of battle, could also understand that in this wilderness, in the face of the charge launched by the ghouls who numbered about three hundred, even if he had powerful weapons, he could not avoid casualties.

"Split half of the people to follow me!"

Ah Yi looked at the current situation, and a pair of calm eyes surged with cold anger: "It can only consume the little ammunition left." ”

"Keep going!"

Ah Yi pointed to the bare hill on the left, and led the twenty or so people to prepare to block the attack, as if they were planning to drag down the ghouls and buy some time for the people transporting wild boar meat to run to the mountain.

"Hurry up!"

Ah urged with a grim face, took out a few black round mechanical balls less than the size of a fist from the package, twisted them in the opposite direction with a crisp sound, and then placed them on the ground one by one, and then fled far away. It was supposed to be some kind of powerful weapon.

"Let's go!"

Everyone shouted, hurried but not panicked, and pushed the rickshaw in the direction of the hill, which was a high ground, but it was also the only way back to the village. They seem to have a lot of trust in Ichi Blessing, believing that he can lead the group of people to take out the group of ghouls.

"Tweet ——!"

A dark shadow hovered in the air, letting out an excited cry.

"Eagle?"

Zhou He, who was pushing the rickshaw forward, looked up with a surprised gaze, and then felt a trace of unease. It was a huge eagle, with a huge body of more than ten meters wide with its wings outstretched, like a black cloud hanging over the sky, and it chirped excitedly from time to time. The visual and psychological oppression brought by the huge size was second only to that of the charging ghouls.

"Cluck!"

There was a slight jolt and the rickshaw pushed up the bare hill, which was indeed not a good place, and when I got closer, I realized that although the surface of the mountain was scorched black, there were many potholes, and it took a lot of effort to push the rickshaw up.

"Boom!"

The log roller made a crunching sound when it ran over the coke, but the car trembled, and one of the rollers on the right got stuck in a stone crevice, and the ghost knew that there would be a huge stone body under the mountain that was cracked everywhere, and the earth and coke half-hid it, and no one noticed it in the hurry.

"I'm coming!"

Just this moment of pause, people feel inexplicably nervous, adrenaline boiled and climbed like boiling water, Zhou He shouted loudly, three steps and two steps over, and only he had the strength to pull out the roller that had fallen into the crack in the stone. After all, he was loaded with tons of wild boar, and he bent over on his knees, hugged the sides of the roller with both hands, and held it out with all his might, shouting as he exerted: "Push! ”

Just for a moment, the black eagle like a dark cloud in the sky gathered its wings and fell down like a black arrow, so fast that it was difficult for people's eyes to keep up with its figure.

"Be careful!"

Someone shouted nervously, raised the gun, and fired at the rapidly falling black shadow, no one underestimated the huge eagle, but even if he was vigilant, raised the gun, and fired a volley at it, he could not keep up with the speed of its fall.

It was so fast, like a black bolt of lightning, so fast that the eye could not catch it, and by the time it spread its huge wings, it was already in front of it.

"Bang! Bang! ”

A huge storm kicked up carbon chips on the ground, and the dust that kicked up made people unable to open their eyes, and the violent wind stabbed people in the face like knives.

For a moment, Zhou He felt as if his heart was being held by a huge hand, and the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing. It was just a moment, and the warning from his heart made him subconsciously roll to the left, a very standard evasive posture.

Under the cover of the huge wings, there was a moment of darkness in the vision, making it difficult to see clearly.

Soon the black shadow shrouded in the sky disappeared, and its huge wings flapped lightly, letting out a 'whin' whistle, and quickly climbed out of sight.

There was not a single scream.

A drop of hot Yin Hong's blood was cooled by the wind and dripped on Zhou He's stiff and pale face with a touch of fear, I don't know if it was the giant eagle's, or the one who was hooked through the head by the sharp claws and hung on the eagle's talons and left with the giant eagle.

His name is Da Twenty-Four, a strange but ordinary name, just coming of age.

Zhou He remembered him, a smart young man who greatly admired him... No, it should be said that it is a young man who admires and respects the knowledge he possesses.

"It's good that Ah Jiu is here."

Someone spoke out angrily, and they thought of Ah Jiu, who was fighting the ghoul with Ah Yi, and his tone was full of affirmation: "He will definitely be able to kill it!" ”

Zhou He looked up at the sky, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he opened his mouth, the fear of death seemed to drain his strength, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

"Ahh

The breath squeezed in his chest was constantly expanding, his chest shrank and relaxed, and rose and fell violently, and finally, the anger rendered by fear made the depression in his chest find a way to vent, open his mouth, and let it out. The emotions conveyed by that roar were somewhat complex, but they could not be categorized in detail.

This is a real death without a hint of illusion, at that moment, Zhou He seemed to find a little sense of groundedness, but it seemed ridiculous.
