Chapter 89: Strange Camp
The Snow Leopards were satisfied, and after a short rest, they continued on their way, and due to the delay in the battle with the Demon Palace Rose in SN Town, they hurried and could not reach N City before the evening came.
Fu Ze took the map and looked at it for a while in the afterglow of the setting sun, and said a little anxiously: "If we travel overnight, we should be able to reach N City before midnight, but it is too dangerous to travel at night." ”
He looked around, and when the sun had completely set, it was unwise to rush in the darkness without any light. However, it is also not wise to camp here, and I still can't calculate the appearance of the Demon Palace Rose after careful calculation.
"Find a leeward place to camp, let's not walk at night!" Fu Ze made up his mind and entered the grass on the side of the road with everyone, it was more dangerous to stay on the side of the road than in the woods when it was dark.
The sky became darker, and the starry light in the night sky gradually became clearer.
Fu Ze said while looking for a suitable campsite: "This is no better than the other side of the strait, we must be on duty at night." Huo Chi and Xiao Jian, you two are on duty in the first half of the night, Qin Lang and I are on duty in the second half of the night, Qingqing, you just have a good rest. ”
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Huo Chi found that in the woods not far away, there seemed to be some firelight moving. As it got dark, the fires became more apparent.
In those places illuminated by firelight, there seemed to be buildings, and Huo Chi felt that he should go over and take a look, if there were really people living there, he could stay for a while, it was better than sleeping on the grass.
Thinking of this, Huo Chi said to Fu Ze: "Captain, there seem to be some buildings over there. ”
Fu Ze looked in the direction of Huo Chi's finger, except for some bright spots, he couldn't see the buildings, he asked suspiciously: "Are there buildings?
Huo Chi knew that Fu Ze's eyesight was not as good as his own, so he said: "Those bright lights are firelight, and there should be people with firelight." ”
Fu Ze saw that Huo Chi was very sure, so he took out the binoculars, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Let's go over and take a look, it really looks like a building, but it's a little strange, why don't I know what buildings are here?" Everyone take out their weapons and approach carefully. ”
Everyone in the Snow Leopard Team took out assault rifles, and Su Qingqing followed behind everyone with a sniper rifle.
As the snow leopard team gradually approached the firelight, Fu Ze saw clearly that there were indeed more than twenty large and small wooden houses in a large clearing in the forest.
Outside the hut, a wooden spiked fence more than a person high formed a small campsite. There are also four tall watchtowers at the four corners of the camp with guards in charge of guards.
The camps are lit up with torches, which look very primitive. Fu Ze looked at this camp and was quite puzzled, he didn't go back and forth between N City and S City once or twice, but when did a camp pop up in this place?
"Hey, you guys quickly lay down your weapons!" the sentry in the camp spotted the snow leopards and yelled, "What are you here for?"
Fu Ze hurriedly asked everyone to lower their weapons, and then said, "We are members of the expedition passing by, and there is no malicious intent. ”
Before he could finish speaking, several people came out of a large wooden hut in the camp. These people are men and women, human and subhuman. They were dressed in a strange way, all of them were beige coarse cloth clothes, and at first glance they were not the kind of clothes produced in the factory.
The men ran to the outside of the fence, and one of the bear-shaped people at the head said loudly, "Friend, we are having dinner, would you like to eat together?"
Huo Chi felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in this place, and he didn't want to go in, but the captain Fu Ze said, "Okay." ”
Huo Chi was anxious when he heard Fu Ze agree so easily, and wanted to stop Fu Ze, but found that Xiao Jian glanced at him, and then looked down at his chest.
He hurriedly looked down as well, and was horrified to find that there were two or three small red and green dots of light on his chest. He knew that he was being targeted by the gunmen in the night, and his heart sank, and he did not dare to say more.
Seeing that Fu Ze agreed without hesitation, the bear-shaped subhuman nodded slightly, and then waved his hand, and several people guarding the wooden gate pushed the gate open. The snow leopards, threatened by the gunners, had to enter the camp.
"Come with me, the restaurant is here. The bear-shaped subhuman seemed to be very hospitable, and he stretched out his hand to guide everyone to the longhouse they had run out of.
Fu Ze asked cautiously, "May I ask this gentleman, how do you call you?" He couldn't tell the age of the subhuman, but he could still tell that the subhuman was a man.
As he walked, the bear-shaped subhuman replied, "Oh, my surname is Kim, and they all call me Captain Kim. ”
Huo Chi sighed in his heart when he heard this, Captain Jin, why is this name so familiar? By the way, I remember that when I was in S City, the bear-shaped subhuman of the Demon Protection Society who casually entered the city was called Captain Jin. Could it be? Are these two bears the same bear?
Huo Chi was puzzled, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just pretended not to know anything, and entered the wooden house with everyone.
As soon as he walked into the wooden house, Huo Chi found that there were long tables and benches neatly stacked in this room, and the benches were basically full of people dressed in coarse cloth.
In front of each of them was a wooden plate with some food on it, but instead of eating, they sat straight and looked straight ahead.
There was a small podium at the front of the room, as if they were waiting for someone to speak.
"Come, sit here. Captain Kim arranged for the snow leopards to sit at a long table near the podium, and then beckoned someone to serve a plate of food to each of them.
Huo Chi looked down at the plate in front of him, and found that the so-called dinner was just a black bread, a stack of pickled beans, a few slices of low-quality cured meat, and a glass of water.
It was a simple dinner, and it was a simple dinner in the Middle Ages in Europe, what kind of place was this, and he felt like he had suddenly entered some kind of strange space.
Looking at this unappetizing dinner, Huo Chi decided not to waste it, and he reached out to grab the black bread with the consciousness of a foodie.
"Smack!" Before his hand could touch the bread, he was whipped hard by a long piece of wood, and Huo Chi looked up to see a woman glaring at him: "I want to eat with everyone!" she scolded in a low voice.
What kind of hospitality is this, even if the quality of the food is not good, it doesn't even matter if you don't let people eat it, and you will be beaten if you want to eat!
