The north calls this thing Huangpizi, the scientific name is Weasel, and some people call it Weasel, and there are many legends about it in the northern folk, and generally the stories that are related to it are supernatural.

We've all heard that thing shout 'spare your life,' and it's clear that it's out of the realm of an ordinary animal.

This thing took advantage of my slackening of my strength to slip out of the black cloud cage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's a mutant beast, right?" Xiao Zhang threw a fireball into the air, and he stared at the direction in which the thing disappeared and said, "We met a monkey in Africa who would shout for help. ”

Xiao Yang obviously didn't think so, she shook her head with a solemn expression and said, "No, it's... Yellow-big-immortal! ”

Xiao Yang lowered her voice and said in a volume that only a few of us could hear, she was mysterious, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, and she frightened Xiao Zhang for a moment.

"What? What immortals? Xiao Zhang asked with a blank face.

I was a little surprised that he didn't know the folklore that the Chinese people were familiar with.

Xiao Yang glanced at him and said: "Even if you receive Western education, you can't forget the traditional culture of our people, how can I tell you, isn't there a legend of werewolves in the West?" This is a bit similar to that.,Do you know the essence?,Hey~ In short, it's a kind of spirit.。 ”

"Isn't that just a strange force? I don't believe it, I think it's just a mutant animal. ”

Xiao Yang wanted to say something, but Song Enru held her shoulder and signaled her to stop arguing.

I don't care what it is, it's already running away anyway.

Song Enru asked the woman where she felt uncomfortable, the woman was frightened, her reaction was a little slow, her eyes were shining just now, and now her eyes were scattered and listless.

Song Enru gave her a brief examination and said that it was nothing serious, but she was relatively weak and needed more rest.

The woman drank some water, calmed down a little, and asked us what was wrong.

Xiao Yang was about to speak, but Song Enru preemptively said: "The stinky glands in the weasel body can discharge odor and paralyze the enemy, and we have all inhaled toxic gases, which may have hallucinations." ”

The woman was still puzzled and asked, "Did I say something, I heard myself talking, but I couldn't see you, it seemed to be a dream." ”

"You're talking in a dream, saying you know the abilities of the freshman leader." Song Eunru lied seriously.

The woman frowned and said, "Dream talk? But I didn't know about the Freshman Boss's ability, and it was the first time I've seen it in the amusement park, so by the way, how does it look like you? ”

The woman's several changes of face made me fall into deep thought, so I didn't answer her question.

At this time, Teng Rui helped me answer and said, "Alpha copied Sang Rou's body and shared her memories, and it was it that tricked me and the others into going to Minato." ”

The woman was surprised at first after listening to Teng Rui's explanation, and then nodded, as if accepting his statement, without asking any questions, which was completely different from the attitude that she had just tried to prove that I was Alpha.

Song Enru stopped Xiao Yang from speaking, probably because she was afraid that the woman would be stimulated again, Xiao Yang firmly believed that what we encountered was a yellow-skinned essence, and she was likely to say that the woman was possessed by it just now.

The woman's mental state is very unstable, and if she is stimulated again, she will probably go insane.

Then I have only two choices, either continue to stun her or leave her alone.

In order to reduce the trouble, of course I hope that she will be normal, and when she arrives in Minghe City, everyone will go their separate ways and settle their own destiny, and then it will depend on her own creation.

It just so happened that Xiao Zhang didn't have a chance to say the scientific explanation for holding back his stomach, so he told the woman about the relationship between dreams and the subconscious, as well as the onomatopoeia principle of mutant beasts.

He spoke to the point, and the woman nodded silently as she listened, agreeing with his point of view, and the tense expression on her face finally relaxed.

Song Eun-ru took the opportunity to call me aside and asked me what I thought.

I said that the way a woman looks now should be her normal, and that she was aggressive just now may have been controlled by a weasel.

Song Enru asked me if I believed Xiao Yang's statement, I don't think weasels can speak human words, and besides, folklore always has exaggerated elements, so I am more inclined to believe Xiao Zhang's statement.

Song Enru said that she also did not believe in Cheng Jing's claim, but the smell of the weasel can indeed paralyze the nerves of the human brain, and she once heard someone say that when the weasel uses poison gas to control people, the person can say what it wants to say for it.

Song Eunru's question was: "Why does it say that you are the alpha, why does it provoke our relationship?" Also, how does it know if Alpha's copy ability is something it made up? ”

Song Eun-ru asked a series of questions, and these questions were not just asked to me, and you could see from her expression that she was also thinking about them.

"Could it be that the Alpha sent to follow us? These critters are everywhere, and I don't usually pay attention to them, and I don't know how long they have been with us. ”

"We've traveled thousands of kilometers, and it can't follow us all the time."

"That's what I tracked down, anyway, I don't think it's such a coincidence, we just arrived in a place and met a mutant beast who knew Alpha."

"No, space jumps don't leave a smell, and no animal can chase such a far away without relying on their sense of smell."

When I thought about it, I felt that what Song Enru said was right, it is thousands of kilometers from the port area to the three northern provinces, and even if we use satellite tracking, after we have carried out space travel many times, the 'Sky Eye' will lose its target.

Besides, Alpha doesn't know which way we will take on the way back, and Bai Junyang doesn't know the location of the grassland camp, if Alpha wants to stop us, he has to set up an ambush on every road into the province, otherwise it won't be able to find us.

In addition, Alpha didn't know that I was coming to Minghe City, this was a temporary decision, and Old Joe and they didn't know either.

If it wasn't sent by Alpha, then the origin of this yellow-skinned man would be mysterious.

Song Enru hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't think it's safe to go to Minghe City, why don't you go back to the grassland first, and we can walk a little longer." ”

"I don't dare to go back directly now, if I recruit that thing back, maybe it will cause a big mess, but I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that it was really sent by Alpha, and our small camp can't fight against the new students."

And there is still Li Jixian's trouble at home that has not been solved, and I can't let the camp suffer from the enemy.

"Okay, since you've decided, I'll accompany you to Minghe City."

I was a little moved in my heart, but then I glanced at Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yang, and refused with a smile: "Thank you, we can handle it, don't worry!" ”

Song Enru went through a lot of hardships to rush back from Africa, and it has wasted a lot of time to go to the port area to save Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yang, and if she delays one more day, she will have less hope of finding her parents, and I don't want her to leave regrets, at least not because of me.

Song Enru insisted on going with us, she was kind, and I couldn't refuse again, so she asked for the opinions of others first.

In my opinion, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yang would definitely not agree, which is tantamount to tactfully rejecting her kindness.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yang's trust in Song Enru far exceeded their worries about their lives.

Hearing that Song Enru insisted on going to Minghe City with us, although the two of them were a little hesitant, they finally decided to act together.

When Song Enru asked Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yang, I also asked Teng Rui's opinion, going to Minghe City was completely my personal wish, if Teng Rui didn't want to go, I could leave him in a nearby town.

"Hiss~ I will never leave the collective, whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire, I will follow the team!" After expressing his determination, Teng Rui asked me very dissatisfied: "Are you afraid that I will be cowardly and make a mistake?" ”

I immediately shook my head: "Your courage is not small, although your memory is less, but the courage you have practiced before is indispensable." ”

When dealing with adolescent teenagers, I naturally have to follow the hair, lest this kid play rebellious with me.

When we hit the road again, we all paid special attention to the movements around us, and even if we ran past a mouse, we had to grab it and look at it.

I'm better just grab it and take a look, Xiao Zhang simply burns it wherever there is a sound, it can be said that the barbecue is roasted all the way to Minghe City.

The city was the same as before we left, and before entering the city, I wanted to confirm the target location, so I asked the woman, "Where is the recipe?" ”

"Municipal Building." The woman said, "In the safe in the mayor's office." ”

"How do you know about such a confidential matter?" I asked in passing out of pure curiosity.

"My father was the mayor." The woman said in a lonely tone.

People say that time is a knife to kill pigs, and the last days are a chainsaw, dismembering people beyond recognition.

I couldn't connect the haggard and decadent woman in front of me with the mayor's daughter.

Perhaps it was because of the touching of the scene, the woman looked at the city close at hand, and said with red eyes:

"My husband is the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research, and a few days before the virus broke out, he suddenly said that he was going to take his daughter to meet his ex-wife."

None of us interrupted her memories and listened quietly as she recounted the past.

"He suddenly said that he was going to take his daughter away, and then he talked to my father alone in the study, and I thought he wanted to divorce me, so he hid at the door and eavesdropped."

"I heard him talk about the virus, and he also said that his formula could develop a vaccine, but at that time, there were only a lot of people who were sick, and there were no deaths, so my father decided to hand over the formula to the relevant units for verification before putting it into production."

"My father didn't want him to go, after all, he researched the formula, but Nannan's condition is getting worse and worse, and the child has been clamoring to see her mother, but her mother is in prison in another place, so he can only take the child over."

At this moment, there was no hatred in the woman's eyes, tears blurred her eyes, I thought she would lose her voice in pain, but she held back.

"I always think that he is still in love with his ex-wife, you don't know, the reason why his ex-wife is in prison is very strange, and the two of them seem to have something to hide from everyone. I hate the feeling of being left out and don't want them to meet, at least not alone behind my back, I ...... should be left. ”

The woman's face was full of remorse, and perhaps when she found out that her so-called love was just a flash in the pan, she suddenly realized that she had lost a family affection.

Her remorse is likely due to the fact that she didn't see her father for the last time, and Minghe City quietly turned into a corpse city after she followed her love.
