The sun rises over the mountains, and birds chirp in the trees.

Aoi opened her eyes and found herself lying alone on the side of the road, touching her waist, "Where's the knife?"

There was a whistle from under the roadbed, and she climbed over the guardrail, slid down the slope, and through the long grass, a stream came into view. There was a man squatting by the stream, bragging, washing his knife, * against the sun.

She stooped over and pounced on her from behind.

The man heard the movement, turned around, and a woman in a mask pounced in front of him, and in an instant he opened his mouth wide, and poured into the stream together. Water continued to pour in from his mouth and nose, and he propped up his upper body, his head just out of the water, and a knife on his neck.

"Who are you, and how dare you steal my sword? Aoi grabbed him by the collar, but her gaze was fixed, his face was chiseled, his nose was high and straight, and water beads slid across his broad double chin and landed on his black coat.

"It's ...... me"

She calmed down, "This voice! It's Zhang Di." ”

He nodded, "That's me." ”

"Beard?"

He touched his chin and smiled, "yes, I just shaved, clean, right?"

"Ahem, it's okay. Aoi looked at the blade in her hand, "You use my knife ......"

"Rest assured, I've washed it clean. Zhang Di said with a shrunken neck.

Aoi put away her knife, "Let's go, we have to hurry." ”

Zhang Di was stunned, she didn't get angry, she knew this, she didn't have to steal a knife to shave early in the morning.

He walked up the slope and saw Aoi's feet slip and fall backwards, and he reached out to put his arm around her waist.

Aoi fell into his arms, blinking with wide eyes.

"Be careful, are you alright?"

She shook her head and let him straighten up.

Don't scold, don't resist! If it were yesterday, she would definitely push away and kick twice. Blame, isn't her abdominal pain healing yet and she has no time to get angry?

He took a few steps forward and asked, "I'll get you some hot water again, it's better to drink some hot water." ”

She replied in a low voice, "No, let's hurry." ”

The two walked two kilometers along the main road, a pickup truck came to meet them, and as soon as the car stopped, two men with colorful faces jumped down and hurried to Aoi.

"Chief, I've kept you waiting. ”

"Is everyone here?" Aoi asked as she walked.

The man with the colored face opened the car door for her, "There are a third fewer people coming than last time." ”

"It's worse than expected. ”

"People couldn't find enough prey, and some people began to secretly hunt their companions. ”

"If you continue to let them go, the cannibal organization will surely collapse. ”

Aoi lowered his head and sat in the car, and when Zhang Di was about to go in, the man stopped him, "You are not a member of the cannibal yet, so you can't sit with the leader." ”

Zhang Di touched the back of his head and asked, "Then where do I sit?"

"Here's it. The man said, pointing to the rear card.

There is still a vacant seat in the car, and he is clearly a bully, just because he is not a big face?

Zhang Di shook his head and walked to the back card, and heard Aoi say to his subordinates in the car, "Let him get in the car." ”

He ran back, glared at the man with the colored face, and lowered his head into the car.

The pickup truck pulled into a gymnasium, and more than sixty people were sitting on the ground, all painted on their faces.

Zhang Di followed Aoi to get out of the car, looking at him with colorful faces, he found a vacant seat and squeezed together with the others.

Aoi stood in the center of the field, facing all the man-eaters, "There are fewer and fewer prey, and we need to gather together to round up to improve our chances of success." ”

A man with a scar on the left side of his face stood up, held his head high and asked, "I'm okay with acting together, but how should the food be distributed?"

"Follow the old rules. Aoi replied.

Scar Man shook his head, "According to the old rules, it is not our turn until your people finish distributing the food, we have many of us, and we have few distributions, and many brothers are hungry, do you think this is reasonable?"

"Unreasonable. More than fifty people said in unison.

Zhang Di counted, and there were only ten people who didn't say anything, that is to say, there were only about a dozen people who supported Aoi, and there were fifty people in Scar Man's group, and the situation was not favorable to Aoi.

"You want to rebel?" Aoi glared at Scar.

He smiled, "Aoi, haven't you figured out the situation yet?In the last operation, you all suffered heavy casualties, Sheng Li is also missing, and you can no longer command the cannibal organization, we are so powerful, why do we want to listen to you?"

Aoi drew her scimitar, causing an uproar at the scene, and everyone stood up and drew their knives towards the hostile side.

There were obvious knives around him, Zhang Di shrunk his neck, bent over and walked outside the crowd, passing by the scar man, and was grabbed.

"Where did the pig come from?" the scar man pulled out the knife and put it on Zhang Di's neck.

"I ...... Not pigs. ”

Scar Man pointed to his face and asked, "What is this?"

"Color...... Draw. ”

"For a cannibal, a person who is not painted is a pig, and it is food. ”

The scar man swung his knife to cut Zhang Di, and a voice came from behind him, "Let him go." He turned around, Aoi in his hand, and walked into the encirclement alone.

"He is not a cannibal, and I will slaughter him and give it to the brethren. ”

Cheers and whistles rang out at the scene, Zhang Di broke out in a cold sweat, and his eyes turned to Aoi.

She lifted the knife and said to the scar man, "You dare." ”

The corners of the scar man's mouth curled, "Aoi, last time I was competing for the position of leader, I was stabbed by Sheng Li, and her face was colored, her skills are above me, I am convinced to be the leader, but you ...... Haha, just find someone from the scene and kill you, Zhiqu took the initiative to hand over the position of leader, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"You're dead. "Aoi is approaching step by step. The people around them stepped away to make room for the two.

The scar man pushed Zhang Di away and faced her with a horizontal knife.

Everyone was waiting for the duel to begin, Zhang Di found a slanted figure on the ground, and looked up to see a red-eyed man squatting on the roof of the gymnasium.

Although it is different from the photos in the magazine, this guy with gray scales all over his body is a metal Inhuman.

The metal alien raised his index finger and gagged it to his lips, signaling to be silent.

It seems that they are also waiting for the outcome of the duel.

Bang, the two knives collided, Aoi's hand shook, and the Damascus scimitar flew away, spun and swept past Zhang Di's eyes, and stuck in the shoulders of others.

"Oh, you've lost. Scar Man brandished his hunting knife and rushed towards Aoi.

She raised her left arm and shot a silver needle out of her sleeve and plunged it into Scar's face.

He pulled it out, and it was an embroidery needle, "This thing can only hurt people's fur, it can't save you." As he spoke, the knife fell to the ground, and his hands trembled.

Aoi rolled up her sleeves and strapped a small launcher to her arm, connected to a circle of silver needles, and she touched the needles and said, "The needles are coated with snake venom." ”

"You ......" The scar man rolled his eyes up, fell to the ground with a snap, his whole body twitched a few times, and his gaze froze.

"You deceive. Someone pointed at Aoi, and the crowd became agitated.

"Use hidden weapons, and you won't be able to fight. ”

"Yes, you use despicable means, and we are not convinced. ”

Aoi raised her arm, and several people who rushed over stopped, and she looked around at everyone, "Whoever dares to step forward, I will kill whoever comes." ”

"There are a lot of us, let's go together. A man finished speaking, and the flying needle plunged into his neck.

The crowd took two steps back and saw him struggle a few times and die foaming at the mouth.

Aoi touched a circle of silver needles on his arm and said to everyone, "These needles are enough for everyone present to pierce one, although you will not be able to bear it together, but I promise that those who rush ahead will definitely die under the silver needles." You are all one of the cannibals, don't listen to the instigation of a few people, become their tools for power. As long as you put away your weapons, I can not pursue it. ”

The crowd looked at each other, "Can you believe her words?" "Is the silver needle really enough?" "If we really fight her, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties." "She's just an angry wasp, and I don't want to mess with her Silver Needle anyway. Some put away their hunting knives, and others followed.

Zhang Di breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, there was no metal alien on the roof of the gymnasium, could it be that he was dazzled just now?

"See what?"

He turned around, and Aoi came with a knife.

"I didn't ...... What the. He followed her and walked towards the pickup as everyone watched.

As soon as the car door closed, Aoi looked through the window, and the crowd outside dispersed, and the scimitar was retracted into its sheath.

When she lowered her sleeves, Zhang Di saw that there were only ten silver needles in the launch, and the back of the cloth belt containing the needles was empty, "You were scaring them just now?"

Aoi replied: "The silver needle only shoots once every three seconds, just now they are only five meters away from me, rushing up together, I can only hit one of them at most, the silver needle has to be nailed to the skin to exert toxicity, it is difficult to hit the exposed part of the clothes in the chaos, it is very likely to fly away, or fall on the clothes." ”

Zhang Di wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It sounds very hanging, there were so many pairs of eyes staring just now, why didn't you notice it?"

Aoi curled the corners of her mouth and said, "When people are in a state of panic, their vision will become narrow, and when they are pointed at a knife, they will stare at the blade and ignore the hilt, and when they are pointed at a gun, they will stare at the muzzle and ignore the handle, and in order to keep them in constant fear, I must shoot someone every three minutes until their psychological defenses collapse." ”

"You're a psychologist?"

She nodded, "I was a psychotherapist with a high salary, and then disaster struck, and my life changed completely. ”

He took her hand, "Aoi, thank you for saving me. ”

She withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to save my life." ”

She was panicking, if she only wanted to protect herself, she should give up the position of leader, so that she didn't have to fight with others to the death.

Two men got into the front seat, started the engine, and the pickup truck drove out of the stadium. The man in the co-pilot turned his head to Aoi and said, "Chief, the organization is now unstable, if you don't find enough food as soon as possible, I'm afraid they will force the palace again." ”

Aoi frowned, "Enough food to feed sixty people, it's really hard to find." ”

The pickup truck turned a corner on the street, a figure appeared in front of the windshield, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the people in the car rushed forward, raised their heads, and the figure was gone.

The man covered his red and swollen forehead and pushed the driver in a daze, "How did you turn it on?"

The driver pointed ahead and said, "I saw it just now...... A freak with scales all over his body stands on the road. ”
