Chapter XXVII
Two days later, at midnight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no sound in the silent valley except the wind, and due to the lack of resources, only a few important checkpoints in the valley were lit with torches, and most of the rest of the valley was shrouded in darkness.
On the sentry post at the main gate of the valley, two young human beings were leaning close together to keep warm, and two simple long knives were casually put aside, but they were not so much long knives as a piece of iron that had been slightly polished.
"This damn weather, it's getting colder by the day." One of the young men muttered.
"Save it, it's much easier for us than Bora who went out hunting." Another young man said.
"Well, I don't know how Bora is doing now, the new guys don't seem to be very friendly." Gehr rubbed his hands together.
"That's right, I can't figure out why Brother Bora wants these people to join us, the food reserve in the valley is already very difficult, and there are nearly a hundred more people this time, and it will be even more difficult in the future." Another young man sighed.
"Speaking of food, I think of one thing, Skem, have you lost any food lately?" Gehr asked.
"Not really, what's wrong?"
"My family has been losing things lately, and I suspect that the little monster stole it." Gehr pouted.
Sken sighed helplessly, "Lose some food, just lose some food, it's good if you don't kill anyone, I really can't figure out why Bora has to take in this little monster." ”
Just as the two were chatting, there was a creaking knock on the door under the checkpoint.
"Who!" Sken was the first to rise, gripping the hilt of the long knife tightly in his hand.
"You two guys, you're lazy again." A familiar voice came out of the cold wind.
"Big Brother Borah! It's Big Brother Borah! Open the door. Gehr exclaimed excitedly.
The door was soon opened, and a dozen strong men of large bodies walked in with heavy steps from outside the door, almost each of them carrying prey on their shoulders, while several strong men at the back of the line pulled several heavy boxes together and let out heavy gasps.
"Brother Bola, it seems to be a big harvest this time!" Gehr exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha! That's right, this time there was a big catch! Stand guard and distribute food tomorrow morning. Bora said as she wiped her lush beard, her voice filled with excitement.
"By the way, what about Hitomi?" Boura, who was in a good mood, turned around and asked.
"Uh......" Gehr was a little speechless for a while.
Bora's expression clearly flashed with a hint of anger, "What did I say when I left!" Is that how you carry out my orders?! ”
Sken hurriedly ran over, "Brother Bola, you've been walking for too long this time, and there are a lot more people in the valley than before, and the food is not very sufficient, so ......"
"So you just ignore Hitomi, right?! I can't believe you adults can't squeeze out the food a child needs! Bora's roaring voice woke up many of the people who were sleeping.
Gehr and Sken could only bow their heads silently, not saying a word.
"Bora, forget it, we've got business to do." A strong man said in a deep voice, carrying a huge Siberian tiger on his shoulder, and even in such a cold environment, he was still naked, and the scars on his upper body were unusually hideous under the faint campfire.
"Humph!" Bora had to snort angrily at Gehr and Sken, and it was obvious that he had some respect for the strong man.
This group of more than a dozen strong men carried their prey without saying a word and slowly marched towards the depths of the valley.
In a shadow that no one noticed, a pair of indifferent eyes quietly watched the scene in front of him, no one could detect his existence, and at this moment he had merged with the night.
Ten minutes later, the wooden building in the center of the valley.
After putting the last prey that came from the hunt, Bora nodded with some satisfaction, this time the harvest is indeed rich, these prey save enough to eat hundreds of people for half a month.
And most importantly, they even found a few boxes of compressed biscuits and dehydrated cans this time, which were lying quietly in several large boxes in front of him.
"Now it's time for us to talk about the deal between us." Bora's excitement was interrupted by a sudden voice.
Bora quickly recovered from the excessive excitement, and he looked at the person who spoke with some seriousness, this person was the shirtless strong man, "Caesar, although I am grateful to you for helping me get so much food, I still stick to my original decision, you can only stay here for a month, this is also my bottom line." ”
"Bola, you need to think more seriously, you have to know that as long as we stay here, your people will have a constant supply of food, and even have their own weapons, and these are necessary to survive in this damn world!" Caesar, who was naked, said in a low voice.
"You are wrong, Caesar. Food may be what we need, but we don't expect to be armed, because it's too close to the Angel of Death's territory, and having it will only bring us destruction. Bora replied solemnly.
"You're too cowardly!" Caesar couldn't help but accentuate his tone, "I think we've shown enough sincerity, aren't these compressed biscuits and cans worth your risk!" ”
Bora's expression clearly flashed a hint of hesitation, but then it was replaced by firmness, "At most, I can't promise you more." ”
Caesar gave a deep look at Bora, whose face was full of determination, and then led the others out of the wooden building.
After leaving the wooden building for some distance, a strong man beside Caesar immediately approached and said, "My lord, what now?" ”
Caesar narrowed his eyes, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "If you can't do soft, you can come hard, there is no reason why you can't get what the empire wants!" ”
At this moment, in the wooden building, Bora was sitting on a wooden bench full of depression, his expression flashing hesitation and struggle.
But at this moment, the door of his room, which had been tightly closed, was slowly opened a crack.
"Big Brother Bola, can I come in?" The childish voice was full of anticipation.
Bora immediately broke free from her depression, then put on a gentle expression and said with a smile, "I knew you ghost spirit would be fine." ”
"Hee-hee, this time it was Hitomi who met a kind big brother, otherwise Hitomi would have to secretly eat the food of the snow rabbits again." Hitomi said with a grin, but her eyes were closed tightly.
Bora touched the long snow-white hair that was shoulder-length with Hitomi with some pity, and then exhaled softly helplessly, he is the nominal leader of this valley, and he has the responsibility to protect anyone from infringement, but it is in this way that he can't protect Hitomi well, because Hitomi's weird purple pupils can make anyone who looks at her fall into it, some people will eventually lose their minds completely, and some people will bleed to death, no one knows what caused this phenomenon, and in order to protect the interests of the vast majority of people, Bora was only able to give Hitomi limited protection.
"What's the name of that kind big brother you're talking about?" Bora asked, smiling.
"Huh? Hitomi is so stupid! I forgot to ask the name of the big brother, but it just so happens that the big brother is here now, so I don't need Hitomi to find the big brother again. Hitomi smiled happily, completely unaware of the vibration her words would have in the hearts of the two people.
Bora almost used lightning speed to protect Hitomi behind him, and then his right hand tightly held an extremely sharpened steel knife, as if he was about to enter a battle at any time, and from him faintly exuded a strong momentum, this kind of momentum is absolutely impossible for an ordinary human to generate.
In the silence of the wooden building, a pin drop could be heard, and a possible battle was on the verge of breaking out.
"Brother Borah, that big brother is gone." After a period of stalemate, Hitomi gently tugged at the corner of Bora's clothes with her immature little hands.
Bora collapsed almost in collapse, his clothes soaked with sweat, and he knew that he had lost the duel he had just lost.
The feeling of being completely locked in reminded him of his dusty past, and he knew that this was a suppressive effect based on absolute strength, which meant that if this hidden person wanted to kill him, his end was almost doomed.
