Chapter 773: Mutual Distrust

When the villagers turned their faces towards me, I deliberately looked at the expression of the next Dan Dawu, and his face was only anxious, as if he was only worried about the situation of the villagers, and there was no dissatisfaction with Mindu's actions.

I introduced the Qi field of the Black Water Corpse Coffin into the villagers again and again, and let this Qi field swim around them, everyone was healthy, only the head man had corpse poison in his stomach.

Then I asked Mindu to ask the villagers what the head people usually eat and what they usually eat.

The villagers said that after they gathered at the rhinoceros spring, what they ate every day was some brown rice and a small amount of dried meat, and soon the dried meat was gone, so they could only eat brown rice and some plant rhizomes, and they also ate a few fish near the spring, and then they ate their own belts and boots, and the food of the head man was very rich, they could eat fresh meat every day, and they could also drink goat's milk and eat cheese.

During this period, one of the villagers revealed that after the leader ate all the fresh meat and dairy products, he began to start fighting among the villagers.

Hearing the words of the villagers, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the reason why the head man had corpse poison in his stomach pouch should be the problem with the meat and milk they ate, and the fight was only started after the meat and milk were consumed, which meant that the food left for the wounded was safe.

When the villagers spoke, the second Dan Dawu had been very quiet, until Mindu translated the villagers' words into Chinese, the next Dan Dawu began to pace anxiously, and as soon as Mindu finished stating the villagers' words, the next Dan Dawu shouted, he said something to Mindu in a hurried tone, and while he was speaking, some villagers were interjecting.

Mindu frowned and listened to the words of the second Dan Dawu and the villagers throughout the whole process, and then said to me: "The second Dan Dawu said that it must be the things in the power plant that caused the two leaders to get the plague, and the others also said that the head man had taken people to the power plant, and originally wanted to find some supplies, but they seemed to have encountered some trouble in the power plant, and the people who followed them failed to get out of there, and the head man changed his temperament greatly after he came out, and the infighting also began at that time." ”

I raised my eyebrows: "Didn't you just say that they started fighting because they ran out of food?" ”

"Some people do say that," Min said, "but ...... Wait, Ma Ci has something to say. ”

After speaking, Mindu looked at Ma Ci and said something to Ma Ci, and Ma Ci also responded.

Mindu nodded, and then told me: "Ma Ci said that after the two leaders ate all the fresh meat and dairy products, they took people to the power plant, he is a man, and he is responsible for cooking for the head man every day, and he knows more about the head than others. He also heard from the head that there was a large storage room in the power plant, and when Tusi evacuated with his relatives, he didn't touch the supplies inside, because the power plant was already occupied at that time. Ma Ci did not go with him, but he said that after the leader returned from the power plant, he became very irritable, and the fight began that afternoon. ”

I asked sensitivity: "You ask him, what occupied the power plant?" ”

When Min and Ma Ci communicated, the next Dan Dawu also interjected.

The three of them chatted for a while before Mindu turned to me again: "Ma Ci heard from the head man that there is a terrible demon in the power plant, and all those who touch it will also become demons. The headmen said they had never seen anything like it, it wasn't people, it wasn't beasts and mountain gods. The next day, the Great Witch confirmed Ma Ci's statement, and the Great Witch said that he had seen that thing, in a dream. ”

I remember Mindu said that Wu Lin was originally invited by the village to repair the power plant, so he turned his attention to Wu Lin: "Have you seen that thing too?" ”

Wu Lin nodded: "I should be the first to discover it." ”

I asked, "What is that, an evil corpse?" ”

Wu Lin thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't describe it, you can see it yourself." In fact, I have always felt that if something happens in the village, it is likely that something is related, and even if it is not related, it cannot be left alone. Sooner or later, it will run out of coal in the power plant, and then it will run outside, and it will be very aggressive, but it will be difficult for anyone who encounters it to survive. ”

In other words, the wounded at Rhino Springs are still in danger, and although they now have a small amount of food, the contents of the power plant could come out and hurt people at any time.

The sudden mutation of the head man must be put aside, and we must quickly evacuate the wounded.

I looked at the survivors who had just entered the Treasure Peak, everyone had yellow muscles, and they should not have more strength to participate in the next rescue operation.

In desperation, I could only ask the next Dan Dawu to select more than forty strong men from among the people who had been living in Baoding, and take these people to the Rhino Spring.

The next Dan Dawu was right, and when these people found out that there were women in our ranks, they all expressed great disgust and disdain. In order to ensure the normal operation of the rescue operation, I can only leave Xian'er and Luo Fei behind, on the one hand, let them keep an eye on the toast who is under house arrest, and on the other hand, they can also help Mindu deal with some tricky things.

The people involved in the rescue are Liang Houzai, Wu Lin, Cang Jia, and Cidan Dawu, Liu Shangang stayed in Baoding, and with him and Luo Fei there, the corpse refiners lurking in Baoding should not dare to make too much movement.

Actually, I'm not sure if the corpse refiner is still hiding on the side of the treasure top, I have sensed it carefully just now, and there is no unfamiliar telekinesis in the treasure top.

One of Liu Shangang's sonic booms had emptied all the evil corpses on the road from Baoding to Rhino Spring, and we had gone smoothly along the way, and the escaped mountain god had not come to our trouble.

Back at Rhino Spring, the wounded gathered here saw us as if they had seen their savior, and some of the people who were not particularly sick began to cheer.

This time we brought a total of fifty people, and judging from the fact that two people were escorting one wounded, we could only transport a maximum of twenty-five people at a time.

There are 80 wounded people left here, 20 of them are seriously wounded, and I decided to transport them away first, and besides, when we come back next time, we have to bring some food, and the rescue may continue for a while, and I am afraid that some people will die because they are too relaxed.

Why is it possible to die if the mind is too relaxed? I don't know how to explain this with relevant expertise, but I think everyone has had the experience that in the process of striving for a certain goal, no matter how tired and overdrawn your body is, you can maintain the most basic health, but when the goal is achieved and the tense nerves suddenly relax, the body immediately has problems.

A relatively adequate supply of nutrients can prevent this from happening to a certain extent.

Wu Lin said that as soon as Dawu arrived at Rhino Spring the next day, he immediately asked about what had happened here, and after that, his face remained cloudy, and Wu Lin could feel the suppressed anger in his body.

The last time I came, I was in a hurry, but this time, I took advantage of the efforts of others to place the wounded, and in the southwest direction shrouded in fog, I found a towering chimney, which should be the power plant in Wu Lin's mouth, and now the power plant has ceased to operate, and there is no smoke coming out of the chimney.

I tried to sense the Qi field in the southwest direction, where there was a corpse qi that was not too large.

In addition, there is one thing that puzzles me very much, now that the power plant has been shut down, why the lights in the village are still lit.

When I returned to Baoding, I asked Wu Lin about this, and Wu Lin's answer was unexpectedly simple: "Because of that thing." ”

I understood what he meant, that "that thing" was a monster that lurked in the power plant and lived on coal.

Of the eighty wounded, we had to go back and forth four times before we moved all of them to the top of the mountain.

But on our third retreat to the top of the mountain, the last thing I wanted to see happened, three of the wounded began to have problems just after leaving the Rhino Spring, one had convulsions, one was unconscious, the other had a nosebleed, and all three died on the way.

They survived the hardest months, but their lives were lost when they were about to be saved, I had expected this to happen in the early morning, but I still felt bad when three living people slowly died in front of me.

Wu Lin, who had always been expressionless, faced the corpses of the three people, and just said lightly: "Natural selection." ”

I don't know what he meant by those four words, but I could feel that his eyes kept wandering as he spoke, and the loss of three lives seemed to stimulate something deep inside him.

It was already noon the next day when the last group of wounded people were sent back to Baoding, and the next day Dawu was old, and the whole night of hard work had made him a little unbearable, but he still went back to rest after all the wounded had been settled.

Seriously, after tossing all night, Liang Houzai and I were also tired, but Wu Lin, he seemed to be a person who didn't know how to be tired at all, after taking care of the wounded, he lit a cigarette and went to the high wall alone, saying that he was going there to see the situation.

I didn't trust Wu Lin very much, and I was worried that he might want to contact the corpse refiner when he went to the wall, so I quietly followed him shortly after he left.

But before I could reach the foot of the high wall, Wu Lin suddenly flashed out of a path beside me.

His movements were fast, and my heart tightened, and I immediately pressed my hand on the hilt of the green steel sword.

Wu Lin looked at the sword in my hand, and then at me: "Are you following me?" ”

I wasn't going to lie to him, either: "Well, I want to see what you're going to do." ”

"It's windy over the wall, I'm going to blow the wind," Wu Lin turned around and asked me as he continued walking towards the wall, "You don't trust me?" ”

I said, "I suspect you're in league with the corpse refiners." ”

I can't see through Wu Lin, but I think he can see through me, and hiding in front of such a person may make things more troublesome.

Wu Lin walked in front of me, and I couldn't see his expression, I only saw him shrug his shoulders, as if he was smiling: "Normal, in this world, no one trusts me at all except for the next Dan Dawu." ”

I asked him, "What do you do?" ”

Wu Lin stopped and turned his body to me: "I...... It's a mercenary, and some people call people like us killers, well, I also like this title, because I like to kill people in the shadows, and I don't like to go head-to-head, even if there is no one in head-to-head combat. ”

Hearing Wu Lin's response, I immediately frowned.

If he's a killer, I'll have to catch him and hand him over to Senior Brother Zhuang.

In addition, the arrogance he hides under the indifference is also a bit disgusting, what is a head-to-head confrontation no one is his opponent, if his opponent is the second master, I think his chances of winning are very small.

Wu Lin paused, and then said to me: "I know that you are a person in the system, but you don't need to treat me as a threat. I have no nationality and have never killed anyone in China. ”

With that, he lit another cigarette and walked towards the wall.
