"What's wrong?" Zhou Chenghua walked over and asked.

Tan Yue moved out of the way and showed him the bullet.

Zhou Chenghua opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment: "...... When is this ......?"

Qin Shuye and Qin Heng also surrounded them, and after a while, more than a dozen people in the team gathered around this bullet.

"Same model as last time."

Tan Yue said: "It seems that we are going to speed up, this person may be asking for help." ”

Qin Shuye said: "No matter why this person repeatedly uses bullets to attract our attention, whether it is a provocation or a call for help, we can't disrupt our own plans because of this bullet." ”

Tan Yue pondered: "That's right. ”

At night, Tan Yue laid out her sleeping bag in the tent. There are only two people in the tent where the girls live, Xiao Miao and her, but it is the boys' tent, which is crowded with people, even if they have two tents, it is not enough to crowd.

Suddenly, the tent door was knocked twice, the fabric was soft, and the sound was not loud, but Tan Yue felt a familiar breath.

She unzipped the tent: "Qin Heng? ”

Qin Heng didn't speak, and reached out to hand over something.

Tan Yue looked down and suddenly smiled.

She smiled as she took it, "I didn't think you'd bring something like this." ”

Qin Heng pursed his lips: "There are many mosquitoes at night in the suburbs. ”

It was a bottle of mosquito repellent.

Tan Yue sprayed wildly on his body, and then handed the mosquito repellent water to Xiao Miao.

Xiao Miao was surprised: "I can't see it, Qin Heng, you are still considerate." ”

Qin Heng's lips pursed tightly, and he said expressionlessly: "I usually take it with me when I go out on a mission." ”

Xiao Miao and Tan Yue laughed.

When Qin Heng left, Xiao Miao said, "Hey, do you think Qin Heng will like you?" ”

“！！”

"Sister Miao, don't make fun of me." Tan Yue waved his hand again and again.

Qin Heng's superior SS-level hearing made him put the conversation between the two into his ears, and quietly burned his earlobes red.

Early the next morning, Tan Yue woke up to the (mutated) birdsong.

Mother Spider was on the side, conscientiously eating the living dead and mutated animals and plants for a night, and Tan Yue felt a full of energy as soon as she woke up.

In this sense of fullness, the system happily said out: [Host, I'm about to upgrade!] 】

"Yes, congratulations."

It's so cold, the system pouts in her mind.

Walking here, the mutant animals and plants are already dense and unable to get off the road, and the car can't move at all, so you can only walk on foot while clearing the road.

To their surprise, there are more and more mutated plants with human faces. The faces on the thick trunks of the trees are deformed and distorted, like the famous painting "The Scream", carving the most frightened expressions of these human beings before they die.

Tan Yue's brain was so good that she immediately realized a problem. She found Zhou Chenghua and asked, "This is the suburbs, it stands to reason that there won't be many people, but where did so many faces come from?" ”

Zhou Chenghua was stunned.

Suburb = few people, even if all the people in the whole area are buried in the mouths of mutated plants, they will not see so many human faces carved on plants along the way.

He analyzed: "Either on the day of the end of the day, many people in the city evacuated to the southwest, or there are nearby business districts or villages and other places where people are already dense. ”

Tan Yue also analyzed: "That day was very chaotic, and there were people evacuated in any direction, but there should not be such a dense flow of people. Originally, there was no business district here, and there were many small villages that had not had time to be developed. ”

Xiao Miao and Qin Shuye also came up.

Qin Shuye said: "There were originally several small villages here, and the population was quite dense. I have a relative who lives right here. ”

Zhou Chenghua immediately made a decision: "Then let's go while looking for the nearby villages." In such a densely populated place, there must be survivors. ”

"Okay."

"No problem."

The crowd began to look in the direction of the density of human faces, and in the evening, they really found a village.

This is a small village, and there seems to be an invisible barrier around the village, and the mutated plants will not move forward when they grow here, as if they have been cleaned up by someone, and as if they are afraid of the existence here.

Zhou Chenghua leaned towards the latter possibility, and he remained vigilant, observing the small village on the edge of the city.

Although there are no mutant plants, withered branches crawl all over the surface of the village. Any house seems to grow on top of a withered rattan pile, the doors and windows of the brick house are closed, and the whole village reveals a bleak atmosphere, I don't know if there are people in the house.

If you want to know if there is anyone, it is the most undesirable and stupid thing to do to signal directly.

Zhou Chenghua ordered the team members to go from house to house.

Tan Yue and Qin Heng were in a group, before they came to a room, they raised their hands and knocked on the door, and Qin Heng kicked the iron door open.

No one.

The pots and pans in the house were scattered, and the quilt sheets were casually ripped off and thrown on the ground, with blood on them, and it was not difficult to imagine what had happened to the owner of the house.

They made their way to the next room.

There must be something different about this village, otherwise why wouldn't the surrounding mutated plants come over?

Sure enough, when the second door was kicked open, they found several hungry and skinny children inside.

"I've got a baby here!" Qin Shuye shouted at Zhou Chenghua.

"I have it here." Tan Yue also said loudly.

Qin Heng glanced around with cold eyes, frightening the children to snuggle up tightly together.

Tan Yue just wanted to ask him to restrain his eyes a little, but he saw Qin Heng striding into the house and kicking open the door of the inner room.

Tan Yue was shocked!

"Come out." Qin Heng said in a deep voice.

When she looked over, she saw that there were no less than a dozen adult villagers hiding in the back room!

The adult villagers were obviously not doing well, and although the children were thin, they could barely tell that their faces were yellow, and the villagers were so hungry that their faces turned green.

"Don't kill us......! Don't kill ......," a woman shouted, trembling.

Tan Yue frowned and asked, "Why do you want to put the child outside?" Think we're going to be bad for you, so you're using your children as a shield? ”

The woman did not explain, but muttered, "We were wrong, please forgive us, my lordship, we were wrong......"

A man with shriveled and sunken eyes explained to the woman: "It's all our children, and we don't want to do anything to them, it's just ...... We hope that some kind people can take the children away, and when you see that we are still here, you will not want to......"

Tan Yue was uncomfortable when she heard it. On the one hand, these people's explanations were indeed compassionate, and on the other hand, she did not trust their explanations.

Her instincts told her that the villagers' explanations were not credible.

This village has been a secret from beginning to end, and there is not even a human face visible on the roots of the grass and trees here.
