(254) The Return of the Abyss (I)

Because when he first joined the army, he was in Ning Dan's position at that time, and an officer turned back to save him.

It was because of that officer that he survived to this day.

Therefore, Xiao Yunting has always maintained the concept of never giving up in his heart, and even when he trained Rick and his party in the military at that time, it was to let them understand this truth.

Goat Village is only a few kilometers away from the mountain that winds down Fangling, and it is completely located at the bottom of the mountain.

The village is not big, built along a mountain stream, the houses are all made of wooden houses, and when you step into this village, you have a feeling of returning to ancient times, in this village you can't see any strange technology that belongs to the twentieth century, there are no electric lights, no wires, and it is estimated that even the mobile phone signal is zero here.

"The undead are extremely scenic, and the fact that this village doesn't use any electronic devices may be one of the reasons why it doesn't attract the undead. Menghan was very observant and expressed his opinion as soon as he stepped into the village.

At night, the village was unusually quiet, with no lights except for a cold yellow moon hanging over the sky.

The sound of the mountain stream flowing is clear and audible, and the village is dead and silent at a glance, and it does not look like it is inhabited at all.

"You ...... Before entering the village, take off everything you shouldn't have brought with you, including blood ......" A somewhat old voice came from the wooden tower at the entrance of the village without warning.

The wooden tower is similar to a sentry post, and there should be someone on duty on it every night to prevent accidents.

"Old man, we are from the Fangdu Military Region, we have been chased and killed by the undead, and some people have already died, please let us go into the village to rest. Wanqing said.

"I know, so I told you to throw away the things you shouldn't have brought with you, so as not to bring bad luck and disaster to the village. The Old Man of the Night's Watch said.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally had to follow the local customs.

"This one is also left. ”

"But this is the only communication device we can trade with the headquarters, and it has been specially treated so that it will not be detected by the undead!" Mu Yan said.

"No, or don't go into the village. ”

"Listen to him, they can survive in the land of the dead for so many years, naturally there are special reasons and rules......," Meng Han said.

Everyone faded everything that was connected with the outside world, and the old man of the night watch simply burned them all with a fire, which made everyone's faces not look good, and there was no communication equipment, and if they all died in this area, no one would know......

It seems that the survey team is also going to enter the village, and their equipment is all destroyed, and there are ghosts who are not missing!

"All right, come in, and see you who are dusty and wounded, go to the brook and wash yourself...... Oh, don't use the water upstream, we still have to drink it. The Old Man of the Night's Watch said.

The old man led the five men through the village and arrived at the end of the village.

The whole village is not large, and it is estimated that it is not as vast as a manor house of some rich families, and it is only a matter of ten minutes from the entrance of the village to the end of the village.

The village was very quiet, and they walked all the way to see no living person other than the old man of the night watch, which made everyone's hearts start to hairy.

"There is a large area of undead around, the village is isolated, and when you walk in, you don't see a single gasp, will this be a ghost village, only the undead don't attack the undead." Feng Ling lowered his voice and said to Mu Yan.

"Don't talk nonsense, the people in the village are probably asleep. There is no TV, no mobile phone, no internet, what can I do in the middle of the night except sleep?" Mu Yan said.

"Oh, you're right. Anyway, the kidney I just bought was burned, and I knew to send a message to my wife before entering the village, lest she think I was dead here...... It's distressing. ”

"Wait for Thirteen to come out and buy it, after all, Wang Shouyi said Thirteen Incense. Mu Yan rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to Feng Ling, while he observed the village.

This Yangyang Village is equal to a primitive village, and Xiao Yunting found that they have a strange folk custom here, that is, every house will have a dog's claw grass planted in front of the door.

Dog's claw grass is a common name, in fact, it should be called gray plum.

Xiao Yunting only learned about the gray plum after he joined the army, but he always felt that he had never seen this gray plum before.

"The corpse poison on your body, wash it with the water here, and you'll be fine, but there are no empty wooden houses in the village, and you can only live in the hay hut for a day. The old man said, sitting on the stone pier by the brook and smoking a cigarette pouch.

Everyone is a soldier, and they have never experienced any difficult conditions, so as long as there are no undead souls, they can sleep peacefully in the grass hut for a night.

"If there is anything, let's talk about it at dawn. Also, don't run around, especially when you go out of the village, I'll go and tell the village chief, your arrival ......" The old man of the night watchman explained, and left with a cigarette holder.

Everyone lay in the somewhat damp thatched hut, tired and did not speak, they covered their clothes one after another, and fell asleep.

Most of the people here have seen more life and death, and more blood, and tonight is thrilling, but it does not hinder their sleep.

Xiao Yunting took the initiative to keep vigil to let everyone rest at ease.

............

"Hello, Hello!"

The sound of the gong woke everyone up, and when they opened their eyes, there were children running around, women who had begun to do housework, and old people who had begun to hang out early in the morning......

Last night the whole village was unusually quiet, but early in the morning, it was no different from the usual village, and it was even very lively.

Everyone woke up, and a few runny children who had never seen outsiders were gathered around the thatched hut, looking at them like foreigners.

"Wake up, go to the village hall, the village chief says to see you. The old man who kept the night did not sleep all night, and he was still very energetic, and he specially took everyone to have breakfast before going to the village hall.

The village hall is not big, there is a small courtyard, in which there is a large copper foil, filled with cold clear water, and there are many pebbles at the bottom, if you look closely, you will find that the pebbles are engraved with red characters, like people's names.

"In our village, the people who left, whether they were young or old, would write their names and sink them in this big copper foil. This prevents them from being in the company of those things out there. The old man of the night watch explained casually.

After passing the courtyard, I saw the village hall.

There were several old people sitting in the village hall, all of them looking very leisurely, and they didn't feel panicked at all because they were inhabiting the land of the dead.

There is a middle-aged man on the main seat, the crow's feet are very obvious, and a slight smile shows the vicissitudes of life, even if the skin is well maintained, it cannot be concealed.

"I'm the village chief here, just call me Zheng Chun. The middle-aged man who claimed to be Zheng Chun said. "Recently, the anger has been intense, and the undead have come out to harm people before it gets completely dark, and they are extremely ferocious, so if you want to perform any tasks, you must be more careful. ”

"Thank you for the village chief's reminder, we were ordered to come to the rescue and survey team, if there is any news from the village chief's side......" Xiao Yunting said.

"You mean they, they did come to our village and reminded us of something, they didn't stay long, they should have gone to other villages. Zheng Chun said.

"Were they okay when they came?" Meng Han asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's six people, not one less. ”

"They must have lost all their communication equipment when they entered your village, and we lost contact with them in your village, so please let the village chief know where they went next. Xiao Yunting said.

"It's true that communication equipment can't be brought into the village, and it's the same rule when you go to other villages. As for where they went...... It's Mianyang Village in the west, I've heard them mention it alone. Zheng Chun, the village head, said.

"Thank you, village chief. ”

After talking with the village chief, a bald old man sitting next to him spoke slowly: "Since you are here, we don't want your military region to send another team of people to find out the whereabouts of your team...... By the way, to tell you, it takes two days to get from us to Mianyang Village. ”

"We are the Anomalous. ”

"I'm talking about the Anomalous. The bald old man emphasized.

Several people frowned, which meant that if they were going to Mianyang Village, they would have to stay outside for a night.

Everyone has seen the ferocity of the undead, and originally everyone thought that spending the night outside with their strength would not be a problem, but after last night, they no longer want to take such a risk.

"Village Chief, the undead have been extremely ferocious recently, we can't resist it, and we must complete the rescue mission above, so I hope you can tell us how to avoid the undead...... Wanqing said.

"Since the Goat Village can be safe and sound in the Land of the Dead, and even heard that there are villagers who walk at night, I think you must have some special inheritance...... Xiao Yunting said,

"No, no, no, this is a secret of our village, and we must not tell it to outsiders!" the bald old man immediately objected.

"And even if I tell you, you won't need it, so you'd better figure it out for yourself. Another old man said.

Zheng Chun looked like he wanted to help, but he was also helpless.

After a long while, he spoke, "I can't tell you the secrets of the village, but I have another way, but if something goes wrong, you will be surrounded by the undead." ”

............

Before that, several people had never felt that nightfall would be a terrible thing, as the sun gradually set, the peace in their hearts was slowly dissipating, and boundless fear and trembling were also spread out on this vast land......

"Heavenly ...... It's going to be dark again. Feng Ling had such a mouthful, and everyone couldn't help but feel that their legs spasmed, as if there were already countless dirty claws hooking their feet.

"Hopefully last time it was just our bad luck, near a corpse pit. Menghan said.

"Everyone, get ready, don't get attacked like you did last time. Xiao Yunting instructed.

To the south, the mountain is very high, like a black dragon, lying a few kilometers to the left of everyone......
