Chapter 158: Ethnic Changes
When Chen Xiao and his entourage successfully arrived at the vicinity of the reservoir in the northwest suburbs of X City, the sky was completely dark, not only the stars were twinkling in the night sky, the crescent moon was like a hook, and the surroundings were also quiet and abnormal, except for some unknown insects chirping from time to time between the grass and trees, the world at this time can be described as quiet, and the lights of the human world in the past have long since ceased to exist. [Ran^Text^Library] []
However, when Chen Xiao and the others returned to the periphery of the station on the edge of the reservoir, they found that the camp of the entire clan was also pitch black, and there was not even a trace of fire, as if all the people in the clan had moved away from this place.
Even though Chen Xiao had already seen the protective wall of the station, the anxiety and doubt in his heart were increasing unabated, for no other reason, because he didn't feel the existence of personnel in the station at all, which was completely different from the bright fire he imagined, how could he not be worried!
Although the position he was standing at this time was still more than three hundred meters away from the clan station, with his current eyesight, it was enough to see the sentry patrolling the protective wall! Why didn't he find a single figure at this time?
Could it be that something big is happening in the community?
While Chen Xiao was suspicious, the expression on his face gradually became cold, and after he jumped up and down and carefully observed for a while, he found that there were seven or eight burning bonfires directly in front of the protective wall, but there was nothing abnormal in other places, and there was no active figure around.
Could it be that something is really going on in the Ethnic Quarters? Could it be that these seven or eight clusters of firelight have any special meaning? These fires were lit by Xiao Guo? Or is it kindled by an invading enemy? Xiao Guo: They won't have left the station, right?
With a lot of doubts in his heart, Chen Xiao couldn't help but speed up the pace of travel, and the target was directly two hundred meters away in front of the right, where the seven or eight clusters of glittering bonfires loomed, because these seven or eight clusters of firelight happened to be mixed between many plants and meteorites, and these bonfires were not very huge, so if you didn't observe carefully, it would be difficult to find their existence among the many obstructions.
This is still Chen Xiao's keen observation and strong strength, so that he can find the abnormality here so quickly, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he must go to the bonfire to find some clues.
After Chen Xiao approached these bonfires, he found that there were as many as eight of these bonfires, all of which were in a horizontal line in front of everyone's eyes, and each bonfire was separated by a distance of more than ten meters or so, echoing with the protective wall a hundred meters in front of him, forming two very strange irregular parallel lines.
Seeing this, although Chen Xiao was deeply surprised, but his heart became more and more suspicious, and in his thoughts, he vaguely guessed the special meaning of these bonfires, he had already determined at this time that these bonfires must have been set up by Xiao Guo and others, and it seemed that he also planned to use these fires to assist them in defending the station.
However, what puzzled Chen Xiao was that since Xiao Guo and the others had prepared to defend themselves against the enemy in advance, why didn't they see them? Could it be that something has really happened in the ethnic group? However, I have only been away from the station for two days, why did the station suddenly become the current situation? Could it be that Boss Dong and others took the opportunity to make trouble?
Li Han and Zhang Jing, who followed closely behind Chen Xiao, also looked puzzled and worried at this time, and at the same time, their eyes also scanned their homes from time to time, looking worried, but when the two of them saw that Chen Xiao was also in an uncertain posture, they didn't speak, just looked at Chen Xiao with a soliciting gaze.
Commander Xue and the others, who followed from behind, saw the appearance and posture of Chen Xiao and the others, although they were also a little suspicious, but they didn't know the situation here, so they naturally didn't dare to talk without permission, and they were stunned in place with a blank face, silently waiting for Chen Xiao's next signal.
"Not good! The enemy has touched it! Be vigilant, everyone! Prepare your bow and arrows! ”
Just when Chen Xiao was groaning in a dark voice with a worried expression, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the protective wall a hundred meters in front of him, and the accent should be a middle-aged man, and he also had a fierce tone full of hostility.
"Brothers! Don't let the arrows go yet! I'm Li Han, it's me and Brother Xiao and they're back! Don't panic, everyone! ”
As soon as Li Han heard this person's words, his heart was happy at the same time, but his face was suddenly shocked, and after he understood the meaning of this person's words, his face changed and he shouted loudly, with a slightly hurried tone and gesture, and between the words, it was full of clarification, obviously afraid that the person who spoke would not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, so that he and the people around him would become the target of everyone.
"Li Han? Is it really you? Is Brother Xiao back too? Ha ha! It's so good that you're finally looking forward to you! Put down your bows and arrows for me, it's your own people who have returned! ”
As soon as Li Han's words of explanation landed, a slightly arrogant young man's response suddenly sounded in the protective wall, and this person first said a few words of surprise in an uncertain tone, and then shouted in surprise, and between the words, it was full of relief, obviously he had heard Li Han's accent, and then he firmly gave the order to stop the vigilance.
"Xiao Guo! It's me back! Did something happen in the camp? Why don't you raise the fire? And why are you hiding so secretly? I thought you had left the station? ”
When Chen Xiao heard the young man's words, his expression was overjoyed, but he said in a deep voice with a slight doubt, and from the solemn tone of his repeated questions, it showed that he was full of doubts at this time, and between the words, a faint worry flashed on his face.
"Brother Xiao! It's really you! It's great that you're back to the station in time, and something has happened in the station! I'll tell you more about it later! Now I'll let the brothers raise the fire first, so that everyone can know about Brother Xiao's return! With Brother Xiao coming back to take charge, we won't be afraid of anything! ”
The young man who spoke before was Guo Zirong, at this time, when he heard Chen Xiao's repeated questions, he first greeted him ecstatically, and then he jumped onto the protective wall, however, after confirming Chen Xiao's identity, he did not immediately answer Chen Xiao's question, but avoided Chen Xiao's question with a deep face, and also changed the topic very skillfully, with a profound tone and gesture, and between the words, it revealed the strong expectation of Chen Xiao.
"Alright! In that case, let's talk about that later! Brothers, see it clearly! Commander Xue and the others behind me will be our own brothers in the future, and everyone must be more close in the future! And we all want to live in harmony in the future and work together for the benefit of the community! I don't want anything unpleasant to happen to you! ”
As soon as Chen Xiao heard Guo Zirong's words, he knew that there must be a lot of hidden secrets, so he quietly spared the previous topic, and briefly introduced Commander Xue and the others behind him, with a slightly reminding tone, between the words, there was a faint hint of warning, and I don't know whether it was for everyone in the station, or for Commander Xue and others.
"Don't worry! Brother Xiao! The people you brought back, we are absolutely trustworthy, isn't our race just accepting new friends all the time, and it has only developed step by step to today? Everyone will definitely treat these new brothers as their own family! ”
When Guo Zirong heard Chen Xiao's words, while his face was thoughtful, he hurriedly responded very cooperatively, with an enthusiastic gesture without hesitation, between the words, and intentionally or unintentionally conveyed a gesture of non-exclusion to Commander Xue and others, obviously wanting to cooperate with Chen Xiao's words, in order to stimulate the sense of identity of Commander Xue and others.
"Hmmm! That's for the best! If something unpleasant happens in the future, I, Chen Xiao, will never deliberately take sides of one side or the other, and if anyone makes a mistake, I will punish him! In our community, everyone is absolutely equal, and the rewards and punishments are clear! Brother Xue, it's not early today, please follow me to the station for a night's rest! Tomorrow I will make a detailed arrangement for you! ”
When Chen Xiao heard Guo Zirong's words, while approving in his heart, he continued to command silently, with a selfless and serious attitude, and after the words, there was a touch of righteousness and strictness in his tone, obviously wanting to warn Commander Xue and the others behind him, lest these people be unruly when they first arrived.
However, at the end of the words, he changed his tone and said courtesy to Commander Xue, with a gesture of grace and might, and his words were full of unquestionable meaning.
"There's Brother Lao Chen! Since we are already our own brothers, there is no need to be so polite! As long as you can use the place where Brother Xue works, just ask for it! I'm willing to obey my brother's arrangement! ”
When Commander Xue heard Chen Xiao's slightly warning words, his face was bitter, but he didn't dare to have the slightest hint of confrontation, and he also respectfully expressed his attitude, with a surrender attitude that only Chen Xiao was looking forward to, obviously afraid that Chen Xiao would be suspicious of him, so it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold here.
Half an hour later, Chen Xiao arranged the dinner and accommodation of Commander Xue and others, and also appointed a special person to take care of Commander Xue and others, then he and Guo Zirong and other trusted companions came to a huge meteorite around the reservoir.
At this time, although Chen Xiao and the others were all sitting on the huge meteorite, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn, except for Guo Zirong who reported something from time to time, everyone else was listening without saying a word, and Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the crowd, frowned and asked Guo Zirong from time to time, and his cold face was covered with a thick haze, and he looked angry and angry......
