When the bell rang, Babu and Monica, who were already about to abandon the car, were stunned.

Because the monsters who had come close with all kinds of weapons suddenly calmed down after hearing the bell, although Babu and Monica each held a child in their arms, and jumped in front of them, as if they didn't see it, they put down their weapons and turned around and surrounded the bell, some of them even tripped over the obstacles on the road and did not react, and after getting up, they continued to surround the place where the bell came.

"Take advantage of the opportunity and get out of here." The first to react was Algan in the carriage, he waited until the bell stopped and the monsters began to calm down, and immediately woke up the two who were a little stunned, urging, "Time is running out, go immediately, turn right in front, turn left again, quick." ”

The two of them reacted immediately, and at the same time began to steer the caravan around, listening to Algan explain: "Ringing the bell is the method we discovered yesterday. In the past, every time there was a celebration or any major celebration in the town, the bell would ring to summon everyone to gather in the center of the town, and everyone seemed to have formed a habit of gathering in the square once they heard the bell ringing, except for those who were too far away in the suburbs. ”

"Hey, this way, this way." As soon as I turned left in the direction of Argan, I saw a towering wall, at least five meters high, much higher than many of the buildings next to it, with spikes stuck outwards at the end of the wall, but if you looked closely, the nails should have been added later.

In the middle of the wall was a very wide tin door, and the gate was opened, and two strange men stood behind the wall next to the gate, waving vigorously at the caravan.

"Quick, come in, it's closing."

It seems that this is the Great Hall that Algan said. Monica and Babu nodded to each other and rushed towards the gate, as soon as the caravan crossed the entrance, the gate rumbled and closed quickly, only to hear a few bangs, the cast iron deadbolt stuck the gate, and then more than a dozen top gate stakes diagonally pushed the iron gate to make the defense more solid.

Stopping the car, Babu first took a look at the iron gate, and found that the gate was made of solid wood covered with thick iron sheets, not to mention farm tools and human bodies, even with a sharp axe and heavy hammer, it was difficult to break open, so he relieved himself and returned to the caravan.

Seven or eight young people gathered around, all of them were sturdy, and they looked like good farm workers, and they were curious to talk about the caravan, but no one came forward to negotiate, but frequently looked at the auditorium at the end of the courtyard.

The courtyard is very large, and a two-person caravan can park at least a dozen cars side by side, and a ladder is erected every other section in the courtyard wall, so that you can climb the courtyard wall and throw objects out at any time. At the end of the courtyard wall was the Great Hall of Algan, which was indeed very large, at least a few thousand square meters, enough to accommodate thousands of people for meetings.

I don't know who these young people were waiting for in the auditorium, Babu and Monica didn't intend to wait, Babu got into the carriage and helped the frail Algam to the edge of the caravan. As soon as they saw Algan, who was not lightly injured, the group of young people made a commotion, quickly ran to the bottom of the carriage, and helped Algan out of the car, and Babu didn't care about them, holding Anna and holding Nina, and following them together.

"Shhh A group of people were making a noise, and a lookout on the fence suddenly whispered, and then jumped off the ladder, and the wall quickly fell silent, and the footsteps of monsters and incomprehensible mutters could be heard outside, most of them farther and farther away, and a few of them had been wandering nearby.

"Ah, brother-in-law." As soon as the courtyard fell silent, a suppressed exclamation came from the door of the auditorium.

Following the voice, it was a woman in a long black cloth dress who exclaimed, and when the woman saw so much blood on Algan's body, she ran over to check on his body in a panic. Seeing so many ordinary people around, it seemed that they could barely confirm the safety of the environment, Monica and Babu were relieved, and for the first time, they had the heart to carefully look at the appearance of the man and woman in front of them.

The woman was dressed in black, she looked much older than Monica, about thirty years old, thin and weak, with a very quiet appearance, but there was obviously active energy flowing in her body, and she was also a fighter at first glance.

The man, Alguan, looked to be over forty, and his appearance was quite mature, his beard was cleanly shaved, and his hair, although disheveled from his injuries, was clearly tidied up in the car, and he tried to keep it as neat as possible. He has leather armor under his clothes, and he is obviously also a combatant, and seeing that he has the courage to go in and out of the monster group alone, his strength is obviously definitely not low.

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it seems that the aunt that Nina said before she went out just now should be her, listening to the meaning of Nina's words, this person is still the head of the settlement, depending on her attitude towards Algan...... Babu bumped Monica's arm, and both of them smiled at the same time.

The woman and Algan muttered a few words, then quickly looked up and beckoned Monica and Babu to come in and talk, and when the two entered the auditorium, the door closed behind them, leaving only a few young men standing guard outside.

The auditorium was large, divided into two floors, and there were two doors on the opposite side that led to the backyard, and at this time all the windows on the upper and lower floors were sealed, not only would no light come out, but even the sound would be difficult to hear. However, there are not many people inside, the first floor is sitting or lying, scattered is two or three hundred people, counting the people on the second floor, it is estimated that there are only five or six hundred people, which is a lot worse than the thousand or so people that Algan said, Babu estimates that there must be underground space, and it is not small, enough to accommodate a large number of people to live, otherwise the survivors would not choose this kind of place as the last camp.

Entering the auditorium, a group of people obviously relaxed, even the voice was no longer suppressed a lot, several young people cheered, around Algan non-stop, completely forgetting that there were three strangers present, but the woman in black greeted her, lifted the hem of her skirt and said softly: "Welcome three travelers from the edge, I am Linda, the mayor of Tanuki Town, please allow me to express my gratitude on behalf of Tanuki Town to the three who have worked tirelessly to visit from the edge." Thank you, not only did you save the lives of my brother-in-law and Nina, but also sent them back to us, I really don't know how to express my gratitude, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask, we will definitely do our best to accommodate your ......"

"We're merchants, Mayor Linda." Monica and Babu exchanged glances, Monica stepped forward, and said with a professional smile on her face that is characteristic of a businessman, "Businessmen never need to be grateful, they have nothing to do with personal affairs. We do have our demands, but now is not the time. Algum has just returned, his wound has only been treated urgently, and he is now in urgent need of treatment. And we haven't slept for almost two days, and we also need to find a safe place to rest, and we will talk about follow-up questions later. Besides, you don't have to be so tactful as to suggest that we should leave quickly, you don't have to worry about this, after all, we are merchants, not locusts, and we will not go to those sensitive places. ”

Mayor Linda smiled self-deprecatingly and said seriously, "I'm sorry you did us so much, I shouldn't have tested you, I have to apologize to you." But, as you can see in the town now, there is no room for us to be negligent......"

"We understand, very well understood, so just to explain and not accuse." Monica interrupted Linda's words again, firmly controlling the pace of the negotiation, "Because we know very well that with our identity, sending Algan back can be regarded as our noble character and helpfulness, but if we don't leave for a long time, we have ulterior motives, otherwise in such a dangerous situation, we should have run as far as possible." Well...... That's right, we just have ulterior motives. ”

“……”

"Without this expression, instead of letting you be so wary of us, it is better to make it clear in advance. The first principle of the businessman's professional code is to obtain the maximum profit with the minimum investment, and we do have ulterior motives, but our intentions do not contradict yours. So don't worry, we won't have anything to cause misunderstanding, and if there is, it's because we don't know your specific taboos, and you can always remind and stop us, and we won't mind. ”

"Very powerful businessman." Linda fell into a short silence, and then helped Algan beside her to whisper a few words before nodding solemnly, "If I say anything more, it will seem that our Tanuki Town is too stingy." Dida, you go and prepare a separate room for the three travelers, and provide the best hospitality. Mr. Merchant, Miss Merchant, please feel free to rest, it doesn't matter how long it takes, you can also walk around the camp casually, except for the underground passage that is too easy to get lost and it is better not to go alone, other non-private rooms are open to you, and there are no sensitive areas. ”

Babu hugged Anna, and the three followed the young man named Dida around the second floor, which was a separate room, most of which were closed, and Dida took the three of them to choose a room with an open door.

The room is not big, the windows have been sealed and the interior is clean. The facilities in the room were basic but warm and dry, and there was a clean big bed. Surrounded by monsters, they endured a night of mental pressure, and fought wits and courage with the monsters of the whole town in the morning, for the two of them who consumed both physical and mental power, there was nothing more attractive than everything in front of them at this time, and the two of them were almost half-asleep and half-awake locked the door and set up a warning trap, and then threw themselves into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept so comfortably that the comfortable Babu didn't want to wake up, but suddenly, he sat up suddenly, his eyes wide open, trembling all over, sweating profusely, gasping for breath, his expression full of horror, and it took a long time for him to calm down.
