In the early morning of the next day, in the open space in front of Qitukou Village, two groups of people were saying goodbye, everyone wanted to reveal a reluctant look on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn for a while.

These figures are Chen Xiao and his entourage and the villagers of Qifengkou Village, today Chen Xiao and others will continue to embark on the journey, and the villagers who have had friends with them have all come to see each other off, and they have been getting along for nearly two days day and night, so that they have some concern for each other.

Except for the three village teenagers who were arranged by the old village chief to join Chen Xiao's team, the other villagers were reluctant to leave this land where they had lived all their lives, which made Chen Xiao and the others helpless at the same time, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

After saying goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to reunite, will the villagers who stay here be able to cope with the difficulties and dangers that follow? None of these are known to Chen Xiao and the others, but they know that even if they leave this place, there will be more difficulties waiting for everyone ahead.

When Chen Xiao was leaving, he did not make any promises to the old village chief, but only said that he would try his best to take care of the three teenagers, and left a promise that he was not very sure, that is, if everyone had a fixed place to live in the future, they would come back to take the villagers over, and then build a beautiful home together.

Last night, although the big guys waited for most of the night, the murderous bats did not attack again, and it seems that they are really injured, and I believe that they will not attack again in the short term.

The people held out until four or five o'clock in the morning, and when they saw that there was still no strong enemy, they arranged for several of them to continue the vigil, while the others went to rest.

At more than nine o'clock in the morning, after sobering up Chen Xiao and his entourage, after some discussion, they decided to pack up and continue on the road, after all, it is impossible for everyone to stay here all the time.

And Chen Xiao and the little fat man have been thinking about their relatives at home, and if they don't go back to take a look, they still can't let go of it.

Although parting is always a little sad, but the road under the feet still has to go on, although there are some worries about these villagers who are unwilling to leave their hometown, but the relatives in their hometown are also in their hearts, which is really a dilemma.

Chen Xiao knew that when he and the others left here, the villagers would definitely be very disappointed, but if a human settlement was not established as soon as possible, it would be very difficult to survive with the strength of a dozen or twenty people.

Therefore, he must get out of here, he must continue to walk, and only by taking care of the affairs of his family as soon as possible can he wholeheartedly take the followers around him to establish a new order and start a new life, and he must not live up to their expectations and trust......

A group of ten people gradually moved away, and the figures of the villagers at the entrance of the village gradually became blurred, and after everyone stopped to look at it, they finally continued to walk forward reluctantly......

After nearly two days of getting along, Chen Xiao and others also had a general understanding of the situation of these three new teenagers, whose names were Zhang Jing, Liu Rui and Zhao Hong, and the families of the three had all died in the disaster, and they were all alone.

Zhang Jing is only fifteen years old this year, and Liu Rui and Zhao Hong are only fourteen years old, all three of them are underage children, much younger than Chen Xiao and others, Li Han, who was originally nineteen years old, used to be the youngest in the team, but now with the addition of Gao Feng and these three teenagers, now he is also one of the elder brothers.

About an hour later, Chen Xiao and his entourage arrived at the old village chief's mouth of Qifeng Town, which was even more barren than imagined, with a large number of broken walls scattered around at random, and of course, those innumerable black-gray meteorites were indispensable.

According to the old man's description, after passing the wind town and then going forward, there is the wind ridge, this ridge is only dozens of miles winding, according to the footsteps of everyone, it can be completely turned over in the afternoon.

The people cautiously walked through the ruins of the town, and kept an eye out for possible humans or animals, and after the catastrophe, not only the animals became extremely cruel, but also some evil people among the humans, and they had to be more vigilant.

Judging by the size of the town, it used to hold thousands of people, but now it is so dilapidated that it is not known if there are any survivors who continue to live there, because after the people have passed through the town halfway, there is still not a single human figure, not even a wild dog.

There can't be a single survivor in a town of this size! Have these people migrated elsewhere? Perhaps this is the only explanation!

However, just as they were about to leave the town, they saw a terrible scene, which was on the ruins of a building with a large amount of cement, on which lay the bodies of three human beings who had been dead for a long time, two men and one woman, and from the festering faces of the three men, one of them was a middle-aged man of nearly fifty years old, and the other man and woman were young people in their twenties.

However, what made everyone feel uneasy was that not only most of the bodies of these three people had festered, but there were also many milky white maggots wriggling, and their abdomen had all been cut out of a bowl-sized blood hole without exception, as if they had undergone a caesarean section.

After everyone saw this scene, they all felt a little sick to their stomachs without exception, except for Chen Xiao and Guo Zirong who couldn't hold back the river in their stomachs, everyone else vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables, and quickly stayed away from here, never daring to linger for a moment.

It wasn't until they walked out of Qifeng Town that everyone's chests and abdomen gradually calmed down, and although everyone was full of fear and resentment about this matter along the way, no one dared to mention it again, but everyone's hearts were really completely shocked, and they had a new understanding of this cruel world.

Although there was no danger on the next road, everyone still remained vigilant, because the previous scene deeply pierced everyone's nerves, but fortunately, there was no danger along the way, until the town full of ruins was gradually fallen farther and farther away by everyone, and the big guy finally breathed a sigh of relief......

After going forward for more than ten miles, a winding mountain appeared in everyone's sight, and the big guy couldn't help but look around curiously, presumably this is the wind ridge!

The highest point of this ridge is only seven or eight hundred meters, and the mountains are not steep, but the victory is continuous, winding, and there are still patches of lush grass and trees growing in some places on the mountain, and some places are bare, and the top is full of barren hills and mountain rocks, plus the large and small meteorites piled up everywhere, it looks extremely desolate.

After Chen Xiao instructed everyone to drink some boiled water prepared for them by the villagers, he ordered to continue on the road.

Because, at this time, everyone has only been walking for more than two hours, and it is the time to be full of energy, and the longer you rest, the easier it is to slack off, so Chen Xiao arranged it like this.

This is also something he learned during his military career, and it is one of the things that should be paid attention to during the march.

Although this wind ridge is not high, nor is it steep, but everyone still climbs quite hard, after all, the road on the ridge has been blurred and difficult to identify, everyone has to reopen the passage, plus always be vigilant against the birds and beasts in the mountain, so that everyone is not only struggling, but also nervous has been in a state of tension.

Everyone can't forget the night of hard fighting in Qifengkou Village and the tragic and terrifying scene in Qifeng Town, and those bats that invaded Qifengkou Village came from this Qifeng Ridge, although there will be no bat swarms during the day, but who can guarantee that there will be no other animals?

Along the way, everyone stopped and stopped, looking for a relatively smooth path, and by the way, they also searched for larger meteorites to see if they could find some energy crystals from the holes or crevices, but after some busy work, they found nothing.

It wasn't until everyone climbed to the top of the ridge and was about to turn over to the other side of the Qifeng Ridge that they didn't find a single bit of energy crystal, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.

However, to everyone's relief, not only did everyone not encounter danger on the way, but also captured some prey, including a few wild fowl, several poisonous snakes and a number of hares, of course, these are mutated game, although the energy contained is not much, but it is completely enough for everyone to satisfy hunger and restore physical strength.

With his current strong body, coupled with his long-trained archery skills, the archery attack is also more perfect, and it can basically be said that there are no arrows, and it is more than enough to deal with some wild birds and hares.

And Chen Xiao also intended to hone the courage of other people, and when he encountered a poisonous snake that ran slowly, he asked Li Han and the little fat man and others to deal with it, if they didn't go, they would add their fists and feet, forcing everyone to kill or capture the prey, scaring the little fat man and others into misery, crying dad and calling mother all the way.

So, this long mountain was inadvertently measured at the feet of a group of hip-hop young people, about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was about to walk down the wind ridge, it is estimated that there will be another half an hour, you can step on the flat land under the mountain that is within reach.

And as far as the eye can see, everything under the ridge has been vividly visible, only to see that on the relatively flat ground in front, in addition to a large plain covered with wild grass and meteorites, there is a turquoise river in the distance, which is like a jade belt of ingenuity under the sun, and the plain farther away is clearly separated from the Qifeng Ridge area at the foot.

"That river is called Dingfeng River, because the river is green all year round, and the people nearby also call it Bishui River, the reason why it is called Dingfeng River is because after crossing the other side of the river, you can't feel the strong wind of Qifeng Ridge, and the wind there is very small all year round, and it is completely different from Qifeng Ridge, so it is called Dingfeng River!" Zhang Jing, who was silent along the way, saw that everyone was full of curiosity about the river in front of him, and was busy solving everyone's confusion.

Seeing that everyone showed a sudden realization, Zhang Jing continued: "The climate there is warm, and it is a plain area, and there used to be crops everywhere, plus the irrigation of this Dingfeng River, it can be described as a veritable land of fish and rice!" This place is called Y County, and it is a famous granary in S Province. ”

After Chen Xiao and the others listened to Zhang Jing's words, their faces were suddenly revealed, and at the same time, they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, they had finally arrived in Y County after walking for so long, and they were one step closer to their goal!

Just when everyone was full of ambition to arrive at Chen Xiao's hometown as soon as possible, an abrupt voice in the distance suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Brothers, where is this going? Now the world is not peaceful! ”

When Chen Xiao and the others heard the sudden sound of popping up, they couldn't help but look shocked, and hurriedly turned their heads to glance at the place where the sound came from.

I saw that sixty or seventy meters below the right of the location of the people, there was a faintly visible winding mountain road, and there was a meteorite the size of a rockery in the center of the mountain road, and at this time there were two figures standing next to the meteorite, namely a middle-aged man wearing gray coarse cloth clothes and pants and a young student wearing a purple sweatshirt.

Judging from the thickness of the voice, the person who spoke to Chen Xiao and the others just now must be this middle-aged man, it may be that Chen Xiao and the others have just been paying attention to the vast plain on the other side of the Dingfeng River, and the two people who have just arrived are secretive and silent, so they have not been noticed by everyone for a while.

"We are villagers from Qifengkou Village, and we want to go to X City to visit relatives and friends, I don't know what this big brother has to say?" Chen Xiao glanced at the two of them with a suspicious look on his face, and replied politely.

"Hehe, interesting, a group of little dolls team up to visit relatives, it's not small! Aren't you afraid of a mistake? Do you know what lies ahead? The middle-aged man and another young man sneered as they walked towards the crowd.

"Isn't it the Dingfeng River ahead? Isn't it Y County after crossing the river? Why, can there be any monsters that can't be done? Chen Xiao frowned, and said with a puzzled displeasure on his face.

"Alas~, young man, I don't care if you are not afraid of death, or if you are really young and fearless, listen to me, hurry home! Don't cross this river, you're right, there are really monsters in this river now, and a lot of people have eaten them! The middle-aged man kept comforting while moving towards Chen Xiao and the others.

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Is there really a lot of mutant creatures in the river?" Or is there a creature that has absorbed more energy and become extraordinarily powerful? ”

However, Chen Xiao still said quietly: "Big brother, where are you from?" How do you know so clearly? Can you tell us more about that? We really need to go to X City! No matter how dangerous it is, we won't back down! ”

Seeing Chen Xiao's hard face, the middle-aged man who walked to the location of Chen Xiao and the others and stopped more than ten meters away sighed, and slowly poured out with a sad face: "Young man, the eldest brother will not harm you, since the disaster has passed two or three days, this Dingfeng River has been uneasy, and many large strange fish have appeared in it, and seven or eight fishing villagers have been killed by them!" ”

The middle-aged man approached the front and back, and everyone found that this was a middle-aged man in his early forties, tall and strong, with a simple face.

Seeing this man's anxious expression and honest and simple appearance, Chen Xiao also felt that he should not be guilty of deceiving everyone, it must have happened to this river that caused this man to talk about the river so much.

"Big brother, don't worry, I believe what you said, please tell us about the specific situation, if there is really a danger to your life, we will take a detour!" After Chen Xiao figured it out, he said to the middle-aged man with a calm demeanor.

After the middle-aged man sighed, he said slowly: "Alas~, our two grandfathers are both from Qifeng Town, and they are currently living in a cave on this ridge, after the disaster, a total of forty or fifty people survived in the town, and everyone found some caves in the mountains in order to find food and avoid the invasion of bats......"

"I usually rely on hunting in the mountains or fishing in the river to make a living, but who would have thought that there would be strange fish that eat people in the river...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it was real, it was terrible...... As far as I know, there have already been eight men who have been eaten by strange fish, and now no one dares to step into the river again......" The middle-aged man's slightly vicissitudes of life voice intermittently recounted to everyone......
