Chapter 6 Into the Village
Scouting: Intermediate human level, able to see the true body of zombies within a certain range, ten hours, consumable cards.
This card in the hand of the Enlightenment is very useful in this place.
Because there are many intelligent zombies here, and as long as the intelligent zombies are possessed, they will not let the corpse decay, so it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.
And this kind of card, you can also see the position of the corpse cockroach in the human body, which can greatly turn passive into active, which is very rare.
"Okay, when you get to the village, you can use this card, I don't want to be overshadowed by zombies on the way."
Intelligent zombies, although their intelligence is not at the level of humans, their abilities are really special, and I even suspect that they have infiltrated the upper echelons of the human race, so that human beings will be dangerous.
The atmosphere is a little depressing, and the closer you get to the mountainside, the more creepy it feels.
"Well, did you hear anything?"
"It's like the sound of water."
We stopped, and there was dead wood all around, except for a few leaves that were still a little scarlet, and there was some minced meat on the road, which looked like it was human, and occasionally we could step on some bones buried in the dirt.
In short, everything here is very unnatural.
In particular, we actually saw a river.
"This village seems to be more treacherous than we imagined." Not far in front of us, the river bends and flows endlessly, and our destination is deeper.
Maps are just maps, after all, and no one has actually been here, so they don't know much about the terrain.
How to get past is a huge problem, this river is too turbulent, and there are leeches under the river, this is not a leech before the end of the world, it is really going to die, this kind of leech, the size of a basketball, will spit out saliva that melts muscles and bones from its mouth, because of this, so many people are afraid to go to the river to fetch water.
"If we're not careful, we'll be dragged into the river, and if we do, we'll die." Lei Minghong also knows a lot about the Zerg.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a figure, slowly walking from a distance, it was a young man, his expression was a little cold, but his face was also simple, and there was a strange temperament.
"Outsiders" he looked us up and down, a little wary.
He was carrying a basket on his back, and it was full of worms, one by one, very large, all dead, and blood was dripping down the basket.
There are some blood marks and wounds on his hands, which should have just returned from hunting meat worms.
It's just that the number of meat worms surprised me a little.
Although the meat worms can be eaten all over the body, even among the Zerg, they are at the bottom of the food chain, but there are very few meat worms on the earth, not that the number is small, but the place where they live is really difficult to find, and often once they are discovered, the next time they go again, they have disappeared without a trace.
So we were all a little surprised that this young man was able to catch so many meat worms.
"My face is a little hungry, my cheeks are sunken, and I don't think I usually have much food." I judged in my heart that in the end of the world, it would be good for ordinary people to survive, and they would not care whether it was one meal a day or two days.
I winked at Goha, and Goha quietly used the cards.
"No problem."
"It's a human being."
I was relieved for the most part, and said to the young man, "We have escaped from the other side of the mountain, and we have heard that there is a relatively peaceful village here, so we want to come and live in peace." β
The young man's face did not change, and he was not wary of us, so he was not afraid that we would rob him of his flesh.
"Eighteen bends in Qushui, you outsiders can't get through, I advise you to get out of here and find another place." The young man sneered, with a character that did not match his honest appearance.
"We've been on the run for many days, there's no way out, friends, you just need to take us over, here are three pieces of base meat, which is our travel fee for you." I pretended to take out three pieces of base meat from my arms and handed them to the young man tremblingly, with a reluctant face.
The young man was stunned for a moment, a trace of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it was well covered, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes." But after you go in, you can't walk around, let alone disturb the lives of the villagers, otherwise, I will personally kick you out. β
Before the words fell, he impatiently carried all three pieces of base meat into his arms, for fear that we would snatch them away.
I sighed in my heart that my group did not have enough food, and now it seemed that I could only starve, and as for the village, I had little hope.
"Come with me." The young man did not introduce himself, he said very little, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face, but because he accepted our things, he still led us to a hidden cave.
"It's a hidden road that leads directly to the village, and outsiders don't generally know about it."
The cave is only two meters high and is so narrow that only two people can pass side by side.
It was damp inside, with a faint smell of blood, and the dull air made Lei Minghong frown.
"Something is wrong, although this young man is not a zombie, I smell the smell of zombies from his body, this smell is not just in contact with zombies, but after years of staying together, it will be caused." Wufa wrinkled his little nose and said very softly.
We were covered with the power of the soul on the outside of our bodies, so the young man who led the way did not hear it.
"At this point, we can only go with the flow, and I don't feel that this young man is bad in nature." It's a gut feeling, and I think he's hiding something from us.
After walking for three minutes, my eyes suddenly became clear.
It's a river, but the water isn't urgent, and the water is so clear that you can see that there are no leeches in it.
In the distance, you can see a small village on the flat ground between the mountains, and the houses in those villages are made of concrete, and there are some electrical wires around the houses, so it seems that before the end of the world, this place was similar to other towns.
"There is no danger in this river, the villagers are here to fetch water, but now that it is getting late, let's hurry over, otherwise there will be water monsters." The young man looked a little flustered, licked his dry lips, tied the basket again, and pulled out a small boat from behind a boulder by the river.
I originally wanted to ask him about the boss and the second egg, but seeing his nervous expression, I suppressed the matter.
"Squeak, squeak"
The sound of the young man paddling the oars like the wind blowing the wooden door made the heart palpitate.
The river is not in a hurry, it is crystal clear, and it is rare to see such clear water in the last days.
"Don't look at the bottom of the river"
The young man suddenly screamed, startling us.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
I noticed that his expression was a little pale, the muscles in his arms bulged tightly, and a dry voice sounded in our ears: "There are water monsters in the river, and if anyone looks at the river at night, they will be dragged down by the water monsters, and several people have died in the village." β
"Amitabha." The little monk sighed softly.
We are not afraid of water monsters, they are probably just giant insects in the water.
When I got ashore, I peeked behind me, only to find whirlpools in the river.
I pushed Lei Minghong, and Lei Minghong was excited, and his face was crooked.
I laughed secretly, this kid knows to be scared.
Nearing oneβs end.
The village was dimly lit, with candles lit, but it was also peaceful.
According to the youth, people do not come out after dark, because the witch has rules, but as for who the witch is, the young man is not clear.
"Oh it, you're back, you're going to starve me to death as an old woman." Suddenly, a scolding and crying voice sounded, and then a black figure fell at the feet of the young man.
The young man's body was stunned, but in the next second, when the old woman saw the meat worm, her crying stopped abruptly: "Give me the meat worm quickly." β
The young man's face stiffened.
"Why, you still refuse to give it back then, but I raised your brothers and sisters with hard work, and now you dislike me as an old woman, folks, come out and see this son of a."
The old woman began to cry again.
There was a creak, and the door of a nearby house opened
