Chapter 13: Doubts

Zhangjia Village is located in a small place more than 30 miles southeast of Jifu.

Although it is located in the middle of nowhere, it is still able to make a living because it is located near a small semi-abandoned canal.

It is rumored that Zhangjia Village was not a village before, but a large town, which gradually fell into decay due to the gradual drying up of the water from the nearby canal.

Although the inhabitants here live a hard life, after all, they are backed by a river, and although they are close to drying up, they are living a decent life.

Compared with the severe drought in the northwest this year, it is much better to starve to death.

In recent days, Zhangjiacun has often lost some poultry inexplicably.

As soon as the villagers summed up, they thought that the homeless man had done it, so they arranged for two militiamen to hold a vigil.

But something shocking and terrifying happened, and in the early morning of the next day, the militia who were keeping vigil disappeared inexplicably, leaving only a large pool of blood on the ground.

At this time, everyone in the village knew that something was a little weird, and hurriedly held a meeting under the leadership of the village chief to organize a brigade of young people to guard.

Hundreds of people held a militia group composed of flat poles, steel forks, and sticks.

After nightfall, a huge monster more than two meters tall appeared in the village inexplicably.

Although everyone was a little frightened, they rushed forward under the command of the village chief.

It's just that I didn't expect that this monster was invulnerable and infinitely powerful, and the farm tools and steel forks in the hands of the villagers hit the monster without leaving a trace.

But if you get hit by a monster, it's either death or injury.

Even when the killing was rising, the monster directly opened its bloody mouth and crunched.

Soon the villagers collapsed, ignoring the village chief's shouts and hid in their homes, closing doors and windows, hoping to escape.

Fortunately, this monster did not seem to have much appetite, and after catching two more villagers, it disappeared into the vast darkness.

The villagers who escaped death ran towards the outside of the village as soon as it was dawn, but they did not expect that the exit of the village was heavily controlled by officers and soldiers.

After some inquiry, I learned that the village was locked down, and now I can only enter.

The villagers were immediately fried, but they were helpless, how could ordinary people confront a well-trained army?

The crowd could only return to their homes with a disillusioned face and wait for death to come.

"Uncle Junior, what is our mission this time?"

"Yes, yes, this is still the first mission I joined the Rift Mountain Gate"

"Let's talk about it."

Ji Wusheng was wearing a mask at this time, surrounded by several female disciples.

Although he has never taken off his mask in front of everyone, most people think that his appearance is not bad.

As a result, the Split Mountain Sect now has an extremely polarized evaluation of him, with female disciples liking him unusually well, and a small number of male disciples being hostile to him.

"I don't know about this."

Ji Wusheng looked at the enthusiastic eyes around him, hesitated for a while, and finally said against his will.

In fact, he has already received this "weird" message.

The word "weird" is a general term for forbidden monsters by ordinary people, and it is a terrifying existence that ordinary people cannot resist.

Of course, there are many types of weirdness, only the large sects and the government have detailed information, and ordinary people don't know the specific difference at all.

This time the monster is neither a mutant beast, nor is it a scene that cannot be formed in words that he encountered in Himefu, but a monster that exists like a zombie in a previous movie.

This monster is extremely powerful, with fangs in its mouth, sharp claws in its hands, and it is also highly poisonous, and it does not have vital parts like the human body, which is very difficult to deal with.

Moreover, this monster has a certain chance of being infected with the plague, and it can only be destroyed by destroying the monster's head and heart.

The main purpose of the government sending them here is to destroy this monster and prevent it from flowing out and endangering more places, and second, to investigate the cause of the monster's formation.

The reason why weirdness is called weirdness is because the reason for their formation is unknown, and the harm is unknown.

This kind of zombie-like weirdness has not appeared for nearly a hundred years, so the government urgently needs to know the reason for the birth of this weirdness.

"I don't know how many people will die here"

The conversation with Henglan that day is still in my ears.

The danger of this operation is more than unimaginable, and the Split Mountain Gate is almost out of the nest, and if it is not successful, it will be a benevolent.

The government not only assigned the Split Mountain Gate to this mission, but also the martial arts masters within a radius of 100 miles were also urgently summoned.

If this weirdness can't be completely solved, the government will not be relenting.

In fact, for Ji Wusheng, he could have refused this mission.

But because of the strong curiosity about weirdness and respect for senior sister Henglan, he finally decided to participate in this mission.

As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

As an important existence such as a dynastic sacrifice, I believe that if he leaves, there should be no one who will not open his eyes to stop him.

If this weirdness really can't be resisted, then just give up.

Soon, Ji Wusheng suppressed the caution in his heart and began to look around at this small village.

Compared to the villages in the world before him, this village was obviously still on the small side, with only about a hundred or so houses, but the houses were very densely distributed, and from a distance it looked like an irregular egg.

This layout made Ji Wusheng frown slightly, thinking of the previous information, which made him faintly feel that something was wrong.

It's just that I can't think of anything wrong for a while.

Then Ji Wusheng suppressed the doubts in his heart and began to continue to look around.

Compared with the lively village in the previous life, this village is particularly depressing, there is no rooster and dog barking, there is no sound of people talking high and low, and even the sound of insects is invisible.

The silence was extreme, as if all the creatures in the village had died, and even Ji Wusheng, who had been a human in two lives, felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that there is no one in this village, but the shadows printed in front of the doors and windows and the occasional poking out of the head show that the people in the village are still there.

It's just that when they saw the warriors coming in, not only did they not cheer like a savior, but instead looked at everyone with the indifferent eyes of a dead man, hurriedly looked at everyone and then shrank back suddenly.

This kind of performance instantly aroused the anger of many martial artists.

"His grandmother, what's going on with the people in this village, we risked our lives to save you, and we didn't even come out to entertain you, I really don't know what to do. ”

A big man thrust a stick weighing dozens of pounds into the ground, and then scolded and shouted.

This sentence ignited the anger of many people.

The warriors who came here were all well-known people within a hundred miles of Jicheng, and on weekdays, they were all majestic and majestic, but when they came here, they felt a strong gap.

The inexplicable coldness of the government, the ignorance of the villagers...

"yes, yes..."

The people responded one after another.

Since entering this village, an inexplicable pressure has made everyone very irritable, and even Ji Wusheng is a little unhappy in his heart.

"Yes, if you can't do it, you will burn down all the houses in this village, look at these mud-legged dogs, and look at people!" a thin warrior with a short thorn in his hand suddenly said fiercely.

I could see that he wasn't joking, and that the sound could be heard far away in the silence of the village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, slow down, the old man will come out. ”

At this moment, an old but hurried voice came.

Then there was a crunch, and an old man stumbled out of a wooden house.

I could see that the old man was angry and anxious, but his eyes were full of sorrow.

Everyone turned around and saw an old man trembling, and they all secretly said bad luck.

Although everyone has anger, they can't always send it out to the old man, which makes the warriors who usually boast of being positive characters a little embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, it's still the task. It was at this time that a female voice came.

As soon as the voice came, it was the only female warrior in the team who stepped forward.

I saw that she was tall, with a pair of long legs straight and slender, but her appearance was ordinary, and her face was covered with freckles, which made many men present secretly say a pity in their hearts.

However, it may be the reason for practicing martial arts, this woman's ordinary appearance has a touch of heroism, which makes her look like a unique charm.

"Okay Zhuang Wan, we'll give you this face, but this old man must tell everything he knows, otherwise don't blame us rough men for being rude. ”

Said the ruthless man with a short thorn.

Hearing this, the female warrior named Zhuang Wan frowned, and it could be seen that she seemed to be a little unhappy, but then she didn't speak.

The old man was very knowledgeable, he was the head of this village, and although he spoke a little slowly, he was better at being clear, and he quickly told him what he knew.

However, after listening to the old village chief's words, everyone felt a little confused.

Because the old village chief actually said that the people in the village had never seen this weirdness, and it didn't look like the old man was lying.

But why did the government force them to assign this task?

This made everyone murmur in their hearts.

"Who's lying?"
