Volume II: Those Who Choose Chapter 51: The People in the Mountain Village
The giant pig finally stopped moving, and lay on the ground, with more air out and less air in.
Zhao Xiaojie panted and put away his fleshy fist.
She wiped a handful of tears and was trying to find Li Zimu's figure behind her. But he came out of the woods with a boy.
"I'll ask you a few questions, and if you get it wrong, you'll die."
Li Zimu said coldly.
It was a thin, dark boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, his cheeks blurred with sweat and blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Seems flustered and helpless. He widened his eyes and scanned back and forth between Li Zimu and Zhao Xiaojie, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded lightly.
"Brother Mu, are you injured?"
Compared with the boy's appearance out of thin air, Zhao Xiaojie was obviously more concerned about Li Zimu's injury. She dropped the carcass of the boar and ran quickly to the two of them.
Li Zimu's ruthlessness that had been brewing for a long time couldn't help but break his power in an instant, and he reluctantly gestured to the little girl, saying that he was fine.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice again: "You brought this giant pig here, what is the purpose?" ”
This location had been surveyed before he came, so he was naturally sure that there could be no third-level fierce beasts nearby. As a result, not long after he arrived, a huge mountain boar of the third level appeared, and the giant pig clearly had gunshot wounds on its body, and he didn't think these were coincidences.
"Yes, I brought it in, but, but I also didn't mean to. Otherwise, we will compensate you for your losses....."
The boy stammered in response, with a crying tone.
"It was you, you almost killed both of us."
Zhao Xiaojie scolded angrily, and rushed forward to grab the boy's collar.
Li Zimu immediately stopped this rampaging little demon king, just now she beat the giant pig to death, but she still remembers it vividly, for fear that she will accidentally hammer the boy to death.
"Why did you bring this giant pig here?"
"Me and my people... was hunting, but accidentally provoked this boar, many people... He's dead... I had no choice but to lead it away from my people, hoping that they would escape......"
The boy was still crying, describing with some staccato words. It is also clearly and easily understood.
"Then all of a sudden I heard someone's voice here, and I thought about drawing it over, maybe you ......"
At this, the boy lowered his head in some shame, apparently he also felt that this was not very authentic.
Clansman? It's been a long time since I've heard of it, and it's like a title in some fantasy novels.
Li Zimu carefully observed the boy's expression, and asked lightly: "Since you brought it here, why don't you escape as soon as possible, and stay here, what is the purpose?" ”
The boy looked up at Li Zimu in astonishment, apparently suddenly awakened to this problem, and stammered back: "I, I don't have any purpose, I, I just... I want to see if you can deal with this big pig, and if you need it, I think you can help too. ”
"Oh~" Li Zimu looked at the boy with a smile and said, "What if we can't deal with it?" ”
The boy was stunned and silent, as if he was in deep thought, and after a long time, he lowered his head a little resignedly: "If you can't deal with it, I'll ...... No way. If the pig refuses to go, I will continue to lead him deep into the mountains, away from my wounded people
Person. ”
Zhao Xiaojie frowned and looked at the boy in front of him, angry and a little sympathetic.
Li Zimu put away his claw knife and smiled like a wolf seeing a lamb: "The last question, where are your people, about the compensation you said before, we need to talk about it in detail." ”
......
In the depths of the woods, when Li Zimu coerced the boy to find the clansmen in his mouth, he saw only more than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled, all of whom were injured.
An old man with a shotgun in his hand and a bronze complexion walked out of the crowd, looked at the two people behind the boy, and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Ming, these two?" ”
Before coming here, Li Zimu asked a lot of information from the boy in bits and pieces.
The boy's name is Zhuang Weiming, and these clansmen are all from a clan village surnamed Zhuang before the end of the world.
When the end came, due to its location in a mountain village and its isolation from the outside world, after surviving the first wave of zombie mutations, the village was led by the young people in the clan to form a clan, and they have survived tenaciously to this day.
Most of the food sources on weekdays are subsisted by primitive mountain hunting, but this hunting operation went wrong.
Because of this third-level beast, they were almost wiped out.
"We usually only dare to hunt low-level beasts, but it's okay... Xiao Ming led the giant pig away. Originally, alas..... We were all going to retreat to the village first, alas... Thanks both. ”
The old man's name is Ma Youxing, after all, there are seven or eight dead clansmen, and he sighed a few times in one sentence, but he didn't dare to be contemptuous of the two.
After all, whoever can kill this fierce beast can naturally easily kill the people present.
"As for Ma Weiming's troubles, it is really a last resort, these families we came out today still have some magic crystals, if the little brother doesn't mind, bother to enter the village with us, or wait for us to send them out at the entrance of the village."
Zhao Xiaojie was a little unbearable, and she gently tugged at Li Zimu's sleeve.
Li Zimu is also reluctant, now the situation is stronger than others, naturally the other party is grateful to Dade and treats each other with reason, and when he arrives at the entrance of the village, it is difficult to say what attitude is.
"Are you men in your village going out to hunt?"
He meant that if it was just this old and small group of people who went out hunting, it was still unknown how many magic crystals these families could have.
He had just made a cursory observation, except for the boy Ma Weiming, who was a first-level evolutionary, the rest of the people had no signs of evolution, but they were just tougher.
Perhaps it was because the mountain people were simple and didn't think much about the meaning of his words, Ma Youxing sighed lightly: "Naturally, there are still many young and strong people, and there are two level 2 powerhouses in the patriarch's family, and the patriarch's family is also relatively wealthy, it's really not good, we and the patriarch borrow some magic crystals to repay the two, it's still okay." ”
There was a lot of information in these words, Li Zimu couldn't help frowning and thinking seriously, he raised his eyes and stared at Ma Youxing, the other party still had a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Zhao Xiaojie next to her didn't understand, she pointed to Ma Weiming and said to the old man: "Since there are so many young and strong men in your village, you old people and children will be allowed to go out hunting." ”
The little girl was unaware that she was three years younger than Ma Weiming, and the boy she pointed at was also shy, with a weak expression of insufficient ability.
Ma Youxing was silent when he heard this, but Ma Weiming explained: "That's because the uncles and uncles have formed a team to hunt, and no one wants to be in a team with Grandpa Xing." Moreover, we have to hand over 30% of the harvest we get from hunting, including magic crystals. That's why we have so few crystals left. ”
