Chapter 231: Suspicious Crowd
I subconsciously glanced at the tiger corpse on the ground, thinking that someone wanted to rob us of the fruits of our labor, mutated tigers are not easy to hunt now, if it appears in a group, there must be a mutated head tiger among them.
One of the tigers that had just been killed by Gu Yu would attack with sound waves, but it encountered Gu Yu and covered it with a vacuum cover, the sound could not be transmitted, and the tiger roar lost its power and was suffocated in the vacuum cover.
The group of tigers had no leader, and they fled for their lives, and at this time someone suddenly came, could it be that who has been hiding in the dark to observe, and now seeing that there is a ready-made bargain, they want to come and rob us of the fruits of victory?
I unleashed my mental power to investigate, counted the number of brain waves around me, and found that there were nine people in total, but only six people showed up, and the other three were hiding behind trees, on the top of trees, and in the grass.
The six people who appeared were all carrying guns, and the man led by him was wearing a hurdle vest, sneakers and trousers, and the trousers were cut into shorts, and the raw edges were not handled.
Next to him stood a lean middle-aged man, shirtless, wearing women's denim shorts with sequined stripes underneath, and a pair of old Peking cloth shoes on his feet, and the toes of the big female toes were leaking.
Several other people are also dressed in fashionable 'beggar fan' mix-and-match, and at a glance, you can tell that they are having a hard time, and they don't even have a decent set of clothes.
The six people came close and looked at me and Gu Yu carefully, they saw the tiger corpse on the ground, their eyes flickered obviously, I saw this and my heart moved slightly, knowing that I guessed wrong, they didn't come to rob the tiger, otherwise they wouldn't have shown such a surprised expression when they saw the tiger corpse.
The two sides stood face to face, they couldn't say a word, I was going to dig tiger bones for my parents, we couldn't take away the tiger meat, I thought it would be better to be generous, and I was about to open my mouth to give away the tiger meat, of course, I didn't want to cause more trouble.
As a result, the other party took a step ahead of me and said, "Two, this is coming...... Holiday? Hehe, so Yaxing, there are many birds and beasts on our mountain, you're welcome, play more. ”
In fact, it's no wonder that he can say the word 'vacation', the change of clothes I chose for Gu Yu and myself is authentic beach pants with a floral shirt, as if he is about to go to the beach to play, he is wearing white flowers on a blue background, I am wearing yellow flowers on a red background, and the two of them seem to have just transferred from Hawaii.
In the end, the conditions are limited, and it would be wrong to have a piece of clothing wrapped around the body, and I admit that the two of us are too eye-catching, even in the colorful jungle, people can see it at a glance.
I guess that's what brought this group of people in, and the tiger didn't get their attention, and if so, then they shouted 'catch them', and this 'they' refers to the two of us?
Since you want to arrest us, what does it mean to be so polite?
I was muttering in my heart, Gu Yu took the man's words, saying that we were just passing by and getting some tiger bones to make up for the old man at home.
As if chatting, Gu Yu deboned as he spoke, his movements were swift, and he basically didn't destroy the fur much, so he removed the tiger's leg bones, he used his ability to cooperate with the dagger to achieve this level, but the members of the 'Beggar Gang' didn't seem to see it, and when they ran over, they still looked like fierce gods, and now they all restrained their arrogance.
The person at the head is also watching people put down dishes, and he is afraid that he is also afraid of the tiger corpse on the ground, and he doesn't know our depth, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.
A group of people who are afraid of mutant tigers can only show that their abilities are below tigers, even if they are higher than tigers, they will not be much higher.
I judged in my heart, and a smile appeared on my face, saying that this tiger meat is inconvenient for us, and if they don't dislike it, they will take it back and eat it, so as not to waste food.
Seeing that we were friendly and generous, the man invited us back to the camp for the night.
It sounds logical, but you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, I looked at Gu Yu, thinking that he would refuse, we don't need to eat and sleep, there is still a long way to go, we should hurry as soon as possible.
But Gu Yu actually nodded and said okay, then bother.
I tacitly didn't show the slightest doubt, kept a smile on my face, and felt that when he took my hand, he quietly pinched my fingertips, he was hinting to me that he had his own plans.
I carried a backpack full of tiger bones, and cooperated with Gu Yu to thank the beggars for their willingness to take us in for one night.
The purpose of those people is not pure, and they don't look like good people, I want to see what tricks they want to play after seeing Gu Yu's skills.
Before, Gu Yu and I teleported only to look at the general direction, but not to follow this group of people, they are very familiar with this jungle, and they haven't looked at the compass when they go around.
This is their territory, and it will be very difficult to escape from under their hands without teleportation, but luckily we are not to be messed with.
I heard them speak Mandarin with a little accent, but I couldn't make out where the accent was, so I asked the man in the lead, very casually, big brother, are you a local? How many survivor camps do we have in this place?
The man's face was painted with something like black mud, and so were several other people, so it was impossible to see their specific appearances, but fortunately, everyone's clothes had a distinct personality, and they wouldn't recognize the wrong person at all.
"I'm from your province, I'm here to do business, and I'm stuck here and can't go home."
"What's the matter, the way out of the province is impassable?"
"It's all living corpses, the army built a wall at the beginning of the chaos, and now outside the wall is the realm of the dead, and the living can only go up to the mountains to find food."
"No one can get through?"
"There is no return."
I believe that what he said is true, clothes are relatively not in short supply, especially summer clothes, they have guns, but they don't have a complete set of clothes, it can only show that all the materials in Yun Province have been scarce to the extreme, and the living people can't go out, there is no way to collect daily necessities and clothes, and they can go into the mountains to find food, but these things can't.
I glanced over the guns they were carrying, and it was a question of whether there were bullets or not, maybe just a scaresome ornament.
They carried the tiger carcass with sticks, two of them carried one, and the other three never showed up, but I could find out that their brainwaves were following us at a fixed distance.
The reckless mountains, the peaks and peaks, or the majestic or the beautiful, the wild flowers in the mountains are gorgeous, the forests are dense and verdant, I have walked for a long time, and the eyes are full of green, I can't tell the southeast and northwest, but I believe that Gu Yu must not have been dizzy, so I can rest assured to follow them.
After walking for more than two hours, I saw a few stone houses built on the hillside, which looked like they were some years old, and they should be a village.
This is the case in the mountains, it looks like the distance is not far, but it takes another forty minutes to reach the entrance of the village, and by this time we have already walked out of the forest.
There were guards outside the village, and the uncle in women's shorts whistled to them in the woods, but I don't know the content of the report, but I have to see what happens after entering the village.
Maybe when we entered the village, a group of people would 'welcome' us with guns and sticks, or they would just shoot us in the head.
The village is built on the hillside, with terraced rice fields planted on the left and right sides and up the hillside, and to my surprise, these fields are not deserted, and I can see people tending to the fields.
The old houses with gray tiles and stone walls lie in the midst of a new green landscape, and there is only a stone road in the village that is not very smooth, and even before the end of the world, this place has nothing to do with modern and prosperous words.
When we entered the village, we were greeted by young men who were dressed in a uniform style, and most importantly, they all had hot weapons.
Although there may be weapons from the local police station, but the number will definitely not be so much, Gu Yu is an expert in this area, he quietly told me that these weapons are the most advanced styles and models in the world before the end of the world, it is impossible to get them from the local police station, even if they ransack the camp of the local garrison, they will not be able to get so many new weapons.
So Gu Yu was telling me that the identities of these people were very suspicious, and they were not ordinary people.
If they are not ordinary survivors and carry expensive guns, then they can only have two identities, one is a soldier, and the other is a pre-apocalyptic criminal gang, and obviously the latter is more likely.
"What is the most rampant criminal activity in Yun Province." Gu Yu moved his lips and reminded in the voice of a weak mosquito fly.
Poison...... The word immediately came to my mind, and the route Gu Yu and I chose avoided the coastal cities as much as possible, and before crossing the border, we were almost in the territory of the old country.
In fact, the village is so close to the border that it would be easy to guess the identity and occupation of this group of people who have been living in the area for many years and are not local farmers.
What I want to know is if there are any of them with special abilities, Gu Yu must want to know where the original villagers of the village have gone, his thinking is always ahead of his time, he agreed to the man's invitation, probably for this.
And I only thought about this problem after I entered the village, the location of the village is very hidden, judging by the number of houses, the population is not too large.
The villagers are likely to survive the disaster, they are self-sufficient in food, and the winter here is not cold, as long as there are no mutant animal attacks, it should be no problem to survive.
But I didn't see a single old woman or child in the village, either they were dead or locked up by the gang.
I understand Gu Yu's thoughts, he wants to save more people within his ability, and I have no reason to object.
The attitude of the people who came out to greet me and Gu Yu was quite enthusiastic, as if they had discussed it in advance, they didn't ask a single superfluous word, but just said vigorously that they would hold a reception banquet for us.
There is no good banquet, I am afraid that this reception banquet is a Hongmen banquet, Gu Yu nodded in response, and then said that we are a little tired and want to find a place to rest first.
The leading man arranged an old house for us, and someone was sent outside the house to keep an eye on him, he was afraid that we would run away, but Gu Yu just wanted to find a place to talk to me alone.
After entering the room, Gu Yu whispered, "Look at how many people there are here." ”
"I've seen it a long time ago, except for a few who are hiding in the shadows, the rest have all appeared just now."
"Have you checked outside the village?"
"Alas, I guessed that you came for the villagers, and I checked it when I entered the village, but there was no front and back."
"Oh......"
I saw Gu Yu's expression and obviously felt that this result was very different from what he had imagined, so I asked, "Why are you sure that the villagers are still alive?" ”
Gu Yu said: "Have you noticed the watch in the middle-aged man's hand?" ”
I shook my head and told the truth, "I'm only paying attention to his women's shorts." ”
"He is wearing an electronic watch in his hand, looking at the style should be a children's model, not new, but very clean, a sloppy middle-aged man, who doesn't even wash his bath and clothes, will he seriously maintain and clean a children's electronic watch."
Of course not, I immediately denied it in my heart, and said that unless he has a special habit, he treats children's electronic watches like a lover or something, but the possibility is very small.
"So I think he snatched his watch from some kid and just wore it for a few days."
"You saw this watch and decided to come back with them." I say for sure.
Gu Yu nodded: "I suspect that there is a village nearby, and I want to determine the situation of these survivors." ”
