"What's wrong?" Zhou Chenghua came over and asked.
Tan Yue moved away and showed him the bullet.
Zhou Chenghua opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment: "...when will this..."
Qin Shuye and Qin Heng also gathered around. After a while, more than ten people from the team gathered around the bullet.
"Same model as last time."
Tan Yue said: "It seems we have to speed up. This person may be asking for help."
Qin Shuye said: "No matter why this person uses bullets to attract our attention again and again, whether it is provocation or asking for help, we cannot disrupt our own plans because of this bullet."
Tan Yue pondered: "That's right."
At night, Tan Yue laid out a sleeping bag in the tent. There were only two people in the tent where the girls lived, Xiao Miao and her. On the contrary, it was a tent for boys. It was so crowded that everyone was close to each other. Even if they had two tents, it would not be enough.
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 said nothing, but stretched out his hand and handed something over.
Tan Yue looked down and suddenly laughed.
She smiled and took the things: "I didn't expect you to bring something like this."
Qin Heng pursed his lips: "There are many mosquitoes in the suburbs at night."
That's a bottle of mosquito repellent water.
Tan Yue sprayed the mosquito repellent water on her body and handed it to Xiao Miao.
Xiao Miao clicked her tongue and said in surprise: "I can't tell, Qin Heng, you are still considerate."
Qin Heng pursed his lips tightly and said expressionlessly: "I usually bring it with me when I go on missions."
Xiao Miao and Tan Yue laughed together.
After Qin Heng left, Xiao Miao said, "Hey, do you think Qin Heng will like you?"
"!!"
"Sister Miao, please stop making fun of me." Tan Yue waved her hands repeatedly.
Qin Heng's superior SS-level hearing allowed him to pick up the conversation between the two, and his earlobes turned red quietly.
Early the next morning, Tan Yue woke up to the sound of (mutated) birdsong.
The spider mother was beside her, conscientiously eating the living dead and mutant animals and plants all night long. Tan Yue felt full of energy as soon as he woke up.
In this sense of fullness, the system happily said: [Host, I'm going to upgrade soon! 】
"Yes, congratulations."
So cold, the system pouted in her mind.
At this point, the mutant animals and plants have become so dense that it is impossible to move on the road. The car cannot move at all, so we can only walk on foot while clearing the road.
To their surprise, there were more and more mutant plants with human faces. The human faces on the thick tree trunks are deformed and twisted, like the famous painting "The Scream", which depicts the most frightening expressions of these human beings before they die.
Tan Yue had a good mind and immediately realized a problem. She found Zhou Chenghua and asked: "This is a suburb, right. It stands to reason that there won't be many people, but where do so many faces come from?"
Zhou Chenghua was stunned.
Suburbs = less people. Even if all the people in the area were killed by the mutated plants, they would not see so many faces carved on the plants along the way.
He analyzed: "Either on the day of doomsday, many people in the city evacuated toward the southwest, or there are nearby business districts or villages where the crowds are already dense."
Tan Yue also analyzed: "It was a chaotic day. People were evacuating in every direction, but there should not have been such a dense flow of people. Originally there was no business district here, and there were many small villages that had not been developed in time."
Xiao Miao and Qin Shuye also came up.
Qin Shuye said: "There used to be several small villages here, and the population was quite dense. I have a relative who lives here."
Zhou Chenghua made a decision immediately: "Then let's look for nearby villages while walking. In such a densely populated place, there must be survivors."
"good."
"no problem."
Everyone began to search in a direction with a high density of faces. In the evening, they actually found a village.
This is a small and medium-sized village. There seems to be an invisible barrier around the village. Mutated plants grow here and stop moving forward. It seems that someone has cleaned them up, and they seem to be afraid of the existence of this place.
Zhou Chenghua leaned toward the latter possibility. He always remained vigilant and observed the small village on the edge of the city.
Although there are no mutated plants, withered branches cover the surface of the village. Every house seems to be growing on a pile of withered canes. The doors and windows of the brick houses are closed. The whole village has a bleak atmosphere. It is unknown whether there is anyone in the house.
If you want to know if anyone is there, firing a gun directly is the most undesirable and stupidest way.
Zhou Chenghua ordered his team members to search the house.
Tan Yue and Qin Heng were in a group. They came to a room and knocked on the door. Qin Heng kicked the iron door open.
no one.
Pots and pans were scattered around the house, and the quilts and sheets were ripped off and thrown to the ground with blood on them. It is not difficult to imagine what happened to the owner of the house.
They walked towards the next room.
There must be something different about this village, otherwise why wouldn't all the mutated plants around come here?
Sure enough, after the second door was kicked open, they found several hungry and emaciated children inside.
"I have a child here!" Qin Shuye shouted to Zhou Chenghua.
"I have some here too." Tan Yue also said loudly.
Qin Heng glanced around with cold eyes, scaring the children so tightly that they cuddled together.
Tan Yue just wanted to tell him to calm down his eyes, but he saw Qin Heng striding towards the house and kicking open the door to the back room.
Tan Yue was shocked!
"Come out." Qin Heng said in a deep voice.
She went over and saw that there were no less than a dozen adult villagers hiding in the back room!
These adult villagers are obviously not living a good life. Although the children are thin, they can still tell that their faces are yellow. These villagers are so hungry that their faces are green.
"Don't kill us...! Don't kill us..." A woman shouted tremblingly.
Tan Yue frowned and asked, "Why do you leave your children outside? Do you think we will be harmful to you, so you use your children as a shield?"
The woman didn't explain, she just murmured and repeated: "We were wrong, sir, please forgive us, we were wrong..."
A man with a shriveled body and sunken eye sockets explained to the woman: "They are all our children, and we don't want to do anything to the children. It's just that... we hope that some kind people can take the children away. Seeing that there are still If we are here, you won’t want to..."
Tan Yue felt uncomfortable all over. On the one hand, these people's explanations really aroused sympathy, but on the other hand, she did not trust these people's explanations.
Her intuition told her that the explanations given by these villagers were not credible.
This village is a secret from beginning to end. There is not even a human face visible on the roots of the vegetation and trees here.
