Chapter 111: A Gathering Place for Mankind
"No, I'm from outside, but I'm swept in, my name is Daisy, and I'm ...... I am not your enemy...... I'm here to help you. Daisy said.
"Help us? What's going on? Wang Qiang behind him was puzzled.
Daisy looked around in a panic and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place, it's too dangerous to stay here." If you come across those things, you might die...... You should have already encountered those bloody things, right? ”
"Synths?"
"Ah, you call it a synth, we call it a corpse beast, they are made of the corpses of the dead." Daisy said in a trembling voice.
After speaking, she walked towards a black door, Su Ming stretched out his hand to hold the other party, and said with a smile: "You are not a stranger, it is not safe to walk alone, come to the middle, tie the rope, so that you will not get lost, let me do the pathfinding work, if there is a synthetic beast on the opposite side, I can also solve it!" All you have to do is show the way. ”
Su Ming knew that she was pretending!
Daisy was stunned for a moment, nodded, and obediently walked behind Su Ming, asking Sun Lanxin to tie a rope around her waist.
"Okay, tell me which black door to take?"
"This." Daisy said, pointing to a black door.
Su Ming took the lead in walking into the Black Gate, and under the guidance of Daisy, they kept shuttling between the Black Gate, occasionally meeting a few synthetic beasts along the way, all of which were solved by Wang Qiang in advance.
There was no danger in the process, but Daisy was frightened by those synthetic beasts, and Sun Lanxin had to be constantly comforted to keep calm and continue to guide the way.
At this moment, everyone in the team has their own thoughts in their hearts, and the sudden appearance of Daisy is certainly suspicious, but she may really be just an ordinary person living here, so everyone is thinking about Daisy's true identity.
Only Su Ming knew that this woman was a fake at all, and he had already begun to think about how to use her.
Finally, after going through many black gates, they came to their final destination, which was a very large field, and it was very bright.
In the distance, there was a huge dilapidated church, and next to it sat small wooden houses, all of which were hung in the air by thick wooden pillars, similar in style to the Tujia stilted building in Su Ming's memory, and the base was three meters high from the ground.
If you want to go upstairs, you must also climb a ladder.
Looking at Su Ming's position, he could see a lot of children playing downstairs from afar, if it weren't for the black doors on the surrounding buildings, Wang Qiang and they would have thought that they had come to the outside world.
"It's safe here." Daisy breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Wait a minute, I'll call the village chief over soon." ”
"Okay, we'll wait here."
Su Ming watched Daisy run in the direction of the cabin, turned his back to everyone and said, "You can untie the rope, everyone is ready to fight." ”
"Huh? Fight? Sun Lan's face was full of confusion.
She didn't understand why Su Ming said that she was going to prepare for a fight, Daisy was still suspicious before, but now that she had brought them to safety here, it was enough to prove that Daisy was a good person, right?
"I'm just saying be ready to fight, and you're right to be ready. I'll see what happens after that. ”
After speaking, Su Ming turned his head to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, that guy was lying just now, she is not a good person." ”
"Your intuition?"
Xia Xiaoyu had begun to get used to the reason he often used.
Su Ming smiled and nodded: "That's right, intuition!" You go and follow her and see what she and those people are talking about. ”
Xia Xiaoyu ran over, and soon, it didn't take long for Daisy and to come back with a middle-aged man, and Xia Xiaoyu followed behind them.
Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu looked at each other, and Xia Xiaoyu shook his head at him, indicating that there was nothing suspicious.
Su Ming nodded to the people around him and motioned for them to disarm themselves.
"Hello, I am the village chief here, my name is Liu Hu." The middle-aged man looked innocent, and wiped his rough hands on the linen pants.
"Tell me more about what's going on here. I'll see if we have anything we can do to help. ”
"Good! Come here, you're hungry, aren't you? We were just about to get ready for breakfast. ”
Hearing what the other party said, Su Ming realized that it was just morning, and the seemingly long battle and escape did not take much time.
"Excuse me, lead the way."
……
A few simple planks are set up to make a dining table, and two stones of the same height are moved, and then a long stick tied together is placed in the middle, and the bench is formed.
Then, the container used to hold things was a tin can, and this morning I ate porridge with sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves.
"Wow! Do you grow your own rice? ”
Yang Yangyang showed a surprised expression, and he seemed to have regained his character again.
But they all know that this superficial impropriety is just Yang Yangyang's habitual disguise, and they have all seen how reliable Yang Yangyang is in a high-pressure situation.
"Well, but it doesn't taste very good."
"Where did the seeds of rice come from in the first place?"
"I don't know about this, when I came in eight years ago, all kinds of crops were planted in this place, although there are not many things to eat, but the amount is not small, and if you cultivate it carefully, it is enough to feed everyone."
Speaking of this, Liu Hu sighed deeply.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many children? ”
"All of them are from the village, and a few of them were pulled in by this terrifying space...... Also, I came in from the outside.
In short, this place is the only safe place now, and those corpse beasts are afraid of the sun's rays, so they are fine during the day.
At night, everyone goes upstairs to sleep, and then the ladder is pulled out to ensure safety.
Those monsters don't have many brains, and although they have a lot of strength, they can't gnaw wooden pillars, plus there are people to protect them, so they haven't done anything for so many years. ”
Wang Qiang took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It's incredible, I didn't expect you to live in this kind of place for so long." ”
"It's good to get used to it, in fact, as long as you get used to it, those corpse beasts are nothing to be afraid of, you're from outside, right? Many people who came from outside before died...... What a shame. Liu Hu sighed.
"Have you met anyone else coming from outside?"
"A few of them ran into them, but then they left again, and I remember it was three or four years ago. It's been a long time since no one came to our village. Liu Hu sighed.
"Have you ever met a little girl? Her name is Chu Xiaoxiao. ”
"Ahh You say Xiaoxiao! Daisy brought her back while she was out walking. She's here, she couldn't stop crying a few days ago, but now she's much better! ”
Su Ming nodded, turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "This person is telling the truth, and the situation has become interesting." ”
