Chapter 101: Listening Halfway
When Chen Xiao rushed to the back of a mountain six or seven hundred meters away, he found that his four sentinels were confronting a group of figures in front of him, looking very frightened.
Chen Xiao walked up to a few people, first raised his hand to signal the four of them not to panic, and then looked ahead with a look of surprise on his face, with a calm expression......
I saw that on a mountain col seventy or eighty meters away in front of me, there were fifty or sixty sturdy male figures standing at this time, and all of them were silently looking at Chen Xiao and the others, with a look of surprise, and the leaders in the front were still talking to each other from time to time, with complicated expressions.
These figures were all armed with clubs, spears, knives, axes, hooks and forks, and some of them were carrying a large number of carcasses of various beasts, as if they had returned from hunting.
Not only are the weapons they are holding varied, but they also look extremely dark and weather-beaten, because the col where they are standing now is behind a mountain on the right side of the road where Chen Xiao and the others are walking, so this also explains why Chen Xiao and the others had difficulty seeing the situation here before......
After Chen Xiao understood the situation of these figures, he already had a rough judgment of the situation in front of him, these figures were estimated to have just returned from hunting in the mountains, and they also happened to have a face-to-face with several sentinels of the escort team, which aroused the vigilance of the escort team, and hurriedly notified their own clan with a whistle.
This can be seen from the tools and prey carried by these men in front of them, but since the two sides have discovered each other at this time, it must be unreasonable for them to ignore it silently.
Regardless of whether the other party is good or evil, you have to say hello to know, besides, he and the others are now considered to be strong, and they don't suffer much in terms of numbers, besides, they can also ask from the mouths of these men about the situation of the nearby survivor groups.
After Chen Xiao figured this out, he continued to lean towards these men with a slight groan, ready to talk to these men first, and after asking about the situation, it was not too late to make a decision.
After all, he and the others have been on the mountain road for most of the day now, and most of the personnel are in a state of fatigue, if they can pass through this place without blood, it will naturally be excellent, of course, if these figures are indeed ill-intentioned, then they will not be afraid much.
However, just when Chen Xiao had just walked out of a distance of more than ten meters, someone in the crowd on the other side suddenly greeted him first, with a dull tone of slightly nervousness, which sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man in his forties.
"This little brother! Where are you from? Don't know where you're going? It's been a few days since we've seen strange humans, and it's fate to meet a few here! ”
"Oh? Aren't there many survivors here? Could it be that this eldest brother is a resident here? I don't know where to stay? I think there are quite a few young men among you, and your team must be quite large! ”
As soon as Chen Xiao heard the question in the other party's crowd, he couldn't help but look at the other party's crowd with a puzzled face, and at the same time asked silently, with a calm and calm posture, and after his eyes scanned the other party's crowd, he finally locked on the person who was speaking.
I saw that this person was standing at the forefront of the other party's crowd, and was still in the middle of the team, faintly looking like a team leader, this person was about forty-five or sixteen years old, although he was thin and tall, but his arms holding a fire axe were very strong, and after being connected with his thin lower body, he looked extremely incongruous, and with his slightly honest dark face and mud-stained earthy yellow cardigan, he looked like a simple and capable grain production team leader.
"This ...... We are indeed all locals, and we have been staying in N County for a while, except for the existing members of our team, it is indeed rare to see other survivors these days, because the surrounding survivors have either joined our team or gone elsewhere to join other organizations! ”
The middle-aged man who had greeted Chen Xiao couldn't help but condense his tone when he heard Chen Xiao's answer to the question, and then he slowly replied with a hesitant expression, and when he looked at Chen Xiao again, there was also a faint hint of caution, and he appreciated Chen Xiao's quick reaction ability in his heart.
"I see! I wonder how many members of this big brother's team are now? Have you been hunting for a living? Didn't you ever think about joining a bigger team? You know, in this current state of existence, everyone is picking up materials and the flame is high! Wouldn't it be better for everyone to get together and develop better? ”
Chen Xiao exchanged pleasantries with the middle-aged man with a simple face while moving his figure, and stopped at a distance of about twenty meters from the middle-aged man, and continued to ask this person with a curious face, with an attitude of humbly asking for advice.
"Young man, your question is so direct and sharp, I can't resist it, if it weren't for your age, and the five of you don't look like bad people, I would never tell you so much! Our team is not very large, the total number of people is only more than 80 people, if you don't have a place to stay, just settle here for the time being! ”
The middle-aged man with an honest face couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Chen Xiao's series of questions, but after seeing the undisguised curious posture shown by Chen Xiao, he couldn't bear to respond helplessly, with a reluctant gesture, probably feeling Chen Xiao's desire for a big team between the lines, he bit his lip lightly, and still said a kind word to Chen Xiao and the others.
"Rest assured! Young man, we are all ordinary civilians, and we will never bully or hurt you...... Hey? What's going on? Who are those? Attention everyone! There is a case! ”
However, just as he continued to hand an olive branch to Chen Xiao and the others with a kind face, his words suddenly turned upward, and his face instantly became suspicious, and then he issued a warning to the people behind him with a slightly panicked expression, and at the same time, his gaze quickly moved from Chen Xiao to the edge of a mountain behind Chen Xiao, and his eyes revealed a look of alarm mixed with anger.
I saw that behind the mountain at this time, dozens of figures jumped out of the shadows, and a young figure in front of the head had quickly dropped the many figures behind him hundreds of meters away, and after a few dodges, he stopped steadily in front of Chen Xiao, and handed Chen Xiao an inquiring look.
These figures that suddenly appeared were Guo Zirong and his more than thirty guards, because their speed was not as fast as Chen Xiao's, and there were several mountains on the way to block the view, so they naturally came later than Chen Xiao, and they appeared so suddenly in the sight of the middle-aged man and others with honest faces, how could these men not look vigilant?
"Stop! Don't come here yet! Listen to my orders in a moment! ”
The more than thirty men of the escort team and the four sentinels who came here first saw that their captain had rushed to Chen Xiao, and they hurriedly ran towards Chen Xiao non-stop, but when they were still fifty or sixty meters away from Chen Xiao's position, they were forced to stop by Chen Xiao with a sharp shout, and they couldn't help but look at the people around them with a puzzled expression, with an unknown look.
"Boy, who are you? Why did you tease me before? You have such a strong team and lineup, where is there no place for it? Why do you bother asking us and others? Isn't it too deceitful? Can't we be bullied? ”
A stout burly man in the crowd on the other side, when he saw the many figures that suddenly appeared in front of him, and all of them looked like well-armed, he couldn't help but ask loudly and uncontrollably, pointing at Chen Xiao who was directly in front of him, and his face was also full of anger.
This person is not only sturdy, but also born with horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, like the temple protector King Kong, he also holds a black iron rod more than two meters long in his hand, and with his weather-beaten dark face, he is alive and free from the reincarnation of Li Kui, and the place where he stands is next to the middle-aged man with a simple face, presumably this person must be a fierce general with a good status in the other team.
"This big brother, I think you misunderstood the little brother! The reason why I asked you those questions before was just to know the living conditions of some of the surrounding human beings, and there was no ill will towards you, and there was absolutely no intention of playing, and besides, I didn't say I wanted to join your team, did I? Don't be angry, big brothers, it's true that the younger brother didn't explain it clearly in advance! That's what offends you! ”
After Chen Xiao saw the appearance of the person who spoke, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart, but he still talked quietly and eloquently, and his words were full of explanations, as if he was really sorry for his previous words and deeds.
"Oh? Is that so? You are trying to know the situation of the survivors around this area, but are there some secret secrets? Hum! If you want to beat our idea, then you have to weigh yourself well, but don't go around when you can't eat! ”
When the burly man heard Chen Xiao's explanation, although his angry expression was slightly soothed, his mouth was still very tough, with a suspicious tone, and he also threatened with a strong face, and even the iron rod in his hand was fiercely raised in front of his chest.
"This big brother, what you said is a little ugly, although Brother Xiao asked you a lot of questions before, he didn't put a knife on your neck to force you to answer, right? If we really want to plot against you, why bother talking nonsense with you here? With the weapons you have, they don't pose a threat to us! ”
As soon as Guo Zirong heard the burly man's offensive and demeaning words to Chen Xiao, his face suddenly turned cold, and before Chen Xiao could speak, he spoke out to defend Chen Xiao, and there was also a burst of fighting intent on his body, and then he sneered with disdain, and his hands unconsciously put the bow and arrow in his hands, with a cold posture of swords and soldiers facing each other if he didn't agree with each other.
And the members of the escort team behind Guo Zirong had long been very dissatisfied with the burly man's words, and when they saw their captain's words and actions, they suddenly became excited, and immediately prepared their bows and arrows in their hands, and they all aimed at the burly man in front of them, and they all aimed at the burly man in front of them, and they all looked at the shocking scene with uniform movements......
