"Abba Aba~"

There were incomprehensible shouts coming from their mouths, and strange peasants were looking around for their vanishing targets with torches held alof, except for a few peasants still gathered around the carcasses of their horses, as if doing something strange.

A few minutes later, the dead horse suddenly let out a long neigh, and after a convulsion of its body, it actually stood up again, although the internal organs and blood vessels flowed out of the ruptured abdominal cavity and dragged it to the ground, although it was already dull and spiritually unspirited when it got back up, it still shook its mane as it did before it died, and then merged into the queue of the surrounding monsters, and followed the humanoid farmer to search around.

However, these monsters are obviously not as smart as normal humans, and after looking for a few laps and not finding a target, they lost the motivation to continue searching, and soon dispersed, I don't know if they went back to their former homes, and when they left, they still didn't know what they were muttering.

"We're safe, for now."

The sky was getting brighter, the vision had completely returned to normal, and the open fields were all around, and with the help of the height of the lookout, the movements of those monsters could be clearly seen.

The monsters, whether in human or animal form, have been scattered all over the farmland and inside and outside the houses, and they seem to be still persistently doing what they used to do, but their expressions are sluggish and their movements are not in order.

After making sure that all the monsters had left the area, Monica slid down the ladder and returned to the barn, where Anna was leaning against Babu in a daze, while she and the little girl were sweating profusely treating the wounds of the rider on horseback.

Yes, the rider was rescued by Babu and Monica.

Just now, the two of them were watching the excitement from the lookout on the top of the barn, and when they saw that the rider was about to fall into the circle, a sudden "Dad" came from the side. When the two of them saw it, they had actually noticed that the little girl found on the lookout had woken up, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't have the tendency to become a monster, so no one paid attention to her, and let her peek out through the gap in the wall.

However, the little girl's normal human behavior and this title gave the two of them an idea, and after a little discussion, the two slipped back to the courtyard wall, just in time for the moment when the horse fell and the rider was in danger.

Just as the horses were screaming and dying, all the monsters were trying to attack the horses, and the rider on the horse's back was so dazed that he couldn't get up, Babu suddenly appeared ghostly outside the wall, grabbed the rider's back collar with his right hand, and raised his left hand upward. At the same time, the whip was wrapped around Babu's left hand, and as soon as his right hand was grasped, the whip had already retracted back to the wall with two heavy objects, and the whole process did not take even two seconds, and by the time the monsters' attention was distracted from the horses, the rider had already disappeared behind the wall.

"It's just the simplest way to distract witnesses from blindfolding, and if you use it well, you can make a few people swagger into a heavily guarded place without being detected."

Babu didn't explain much about Monica's exclamation, both of them were busy right now, Monica was busy confirming the enemy's situation, and Babu was busy stabilizing the rider's injuries.

The rider was badly wounded, and the monsters' sharp farm tools had created a lot of wounds on him, puncture wounds, lacerations, blunt wounds, and more than a dozen wounds were distributed on his abdomen and legs, making his lower body look like a bloody man, and it was quite amazing that he could hold on until now before he fell.

"So, what the hell is going on here?" Babu poured a large bowl of liquor over the wound, distracting the wound as she quickly stitched it up, "How did all those monsters out there come out, and did the edges shake?" Or did the node appear? We didn't find any signs of nodes outside, although it was obviously a bit unusual. ”

"Woo~~" The rider had violent convulsions, and the wooden stick in his mouth was almost bitten off, until the severe pain subsided, and the rider collapsed and said weakly, "I don't know much, it seems that everyone doesn't know very well." ”

"Say not much." Babu glanced at the little girl next to him, "You, look at him, don't let him pass out." ”

"Our tanuki town was originally normal, but since a month ago, there have been large-scale deaths of crops, and everyone is very anxious, but there is nothing to ...... Yes...... No, there is nothing to do but see that there will be a famine this year. As a result, five days ago, not only the crops died, but also a large number of people died every day, and for the first two days, every household was doing funerals, and everyone thought that there was a plague in the town. ”

"Two days first?" Babu cut the thread of his clothes, opened another wound, washed the filth from it in a series of muffled grunts of the wounded, and poured spirits, "And then death stops?" ”

"No, there's no need for a funeral from the third day." The rider was already drenched in sweat, and whispered while wheezing, "The corpses are all standing up, and they can still move as if they were alive, but they will frantically attack all the living people they find, and they will not stop until they kill each other." Everyone is also trying to resist, but these resurrected monsters can't be killed no matter how they are killed, and only by bursting their heads and then scattering the shadow monsters that drill out can they be completely killed. Everyone is scared and runs away from them, but what is even more terrifying is that all people and animals, whether they were killed or not, will be resurrected as they will become them as soon as they die. ”

"Sure enough." Babu and Monica, who had just slipped down, looked at each other, and Monica asked, "Why?" Such a strange thing, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it should happen in this world, haven't the people in charge of the fringe things in your town investigated it? ”

"I have checked several times since the large-scale death of crops a month ago, but there has been no result." The rider took a large sip of the liquor handed by Babu, and said weakly, "There are no nodes, no tricks, and there is nothing special to be found on the edges except that the environment is always abnormal. Some people speculate that since a month ago, something strange has directly attacked the interior of the present world in a place that we cannot see, and it may even have infiltrated the present world,"

"Listen to you, those of you who survived, there should be a gathering place, and you've been there, otherwise you wouldn't know so much." Monica helped Babu wipe the blood from her hands, and looked the rider up and down a few times, "I see that you are also a combatant, why didn't you bring your daughter with you?" ”

"Survivors, heh, more than 12,000 people, now there may only be a thousand left, they can only be called survivors, everyone else is dead." The rider sighed, his eyes reddening a little, "The day before yesterday, I organized a group of surviving neighbors to go to the camp, but there were too many people and chaos at that time, and there were not enough places, so I asked Nina to stay here for the time being, planning to come back alone and pick her up." It should have been a good thing, these monsters would have stayed near their former home at night, even if the sound of my horses' hooves had alarmed them, and by the time they came around, I had picked up Nina and left. But today it's strange that they all ran out, and I really didn't expect to crash directly into their encirclement. ”

"yes, yes, it's really weird." Babu and Monica looked at each other, both embarrassed, and nodded vigorously.

"You ......" The other party also understood, so he could only smile bitterly and sigh, "Forget it, anyway, you saved me, I should say thank you." But can I ask you for one thing? ”

"Send this kid to the settlement?" Monica glanced at the little girl, Nina, who was holding her father and crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, save her. You should be travelers from outside, I know this request is a bit difficult for you, it's not safe inside and outside now, it's better to leave early than ever, so even if you want to refuse, I have no right to be dissatisfied. The man stroked his daughter's hair and said pityingly, "But I still ask you to help me send Nina to the settlement, I am in this state, I must not be able to leave, if I want her to survive, I can only ask you." ”

Monica and Babu listened quietly, noncommittal, but his daughter Nina suddenly hugged his arm hard, wanting to throw herself into his arms but afraid of touching the wound, she could only hold his arm and cry in a low voice: "Dad, I said that I would take me to my aunt's house when you come back, are you going to leave me again, woo...... Don't you die, let's go together, I'm carrying you, I've grown up, I can carry you, let's go together, woo woo woo ......"

"Silly boy." The man patted the girl Nina on the head with difficulty, and did not promise her anything, but continued to say to Babu and Monica, "Don't worry, Nina is very sensible, and I will not let you take risks in vain." I've kept a brooch in my room in the settlement, and it's the piece of equipment I've been using to keep my life alive all year round, and if you send Nina there, someone will help me find it and pass it on to you. ”

"The advance of the brooch is set aside." Monica thought for a moment and asked, "How did you leave with a group of people the day before yesterday?" ”

"We had two wagons at the time." The man smiled wryly, "But now there are no horses." ”

"That is, the carriage...... We need to talk about it. With that, Monica took Baba aside and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

"You want to help?"

"No, I don't really want to." Monica shook her head and said, "If you are absolutely safe, it's nothing, it's a casual matter." But in this situation, our own safety cannot be guaranteed 100%, not to mention saving people, the danger is too high, we must be cautious, they are just strangers, for strangers and a necklace that is not sure of the function, it is not worth taking such a big risk, so I am hesitant now......"

"But I want to."

"Huh?"

"Listening to what he just said, I suspect that the cause of what happened to this town may be similar to what happened to Thor, and it was caused by some special alien attacks."

"Well, you go ahead."

"Now that thing is chasing after it, I don't know when it will catch up, it's not a way to run away, I have to find a way to find a chance to teach it a lesson. But if you want to deal with it, you must at least understand it first, and now we don't even know what it is, let alone teach it a lesson, it teaches us more or less. ”

"That's true."

"The thing is, this guy is an idiot." Babu poked Anna in her arms, "She...... Loosen up, you loosen it for me...... This fool eats and sleeps except for biting, and even she herself doesn't know what she is, let alone the one chasing her. So now that I've come across this incident, I'd love to take the opportunity to dig a little deeper, maybe to figure out what they are, so that I can talk about how to deal with them and fight back. But this is just my personal request, you ......"

"I can't help it." Monica sighed melancholy, "If I don't meet your demands, where will I confiscate my private money in the future, I can confiscate dozens of silver coins at a time, such a good source of money, it's a pity to lose it, right?" ”

Raising an eyebrow at Babu, Monica didn't wait for Babu to say anything, turned around and returned to the man.

"We are not prepared to accept your request."

"We think it's safer for you to escort your own daughter."

"Coincidentally, we just have a car that can transport the wounded, and both carriages can arrive safely, so our car should have a chance."

"So, don't forget the necklace you promised, and hopefully it's worth the money."
