Zhou Chenghua and Qin Shuye also found the villagers there. They also left the children in the outer room and the adults hiding in the inner room, but they all pulled them out.
Surprisingly, there are not only villagers here, but also awakened ones.
When Tan Yue arrived at the house at the end of the village, a woman, a child and three men were watching them warily.
Both sides pointed weapons at each other. Zhou Chenghua cautiously said to the person opposite: "I'm counting to three, two, one, let's put down our weapons together."
The person opposite agreed.
"three two……"
"One. Drop your weapons!"
No one moved. In the end, Zhou Chenghua commanded the team members to put down their weapons, and the three men on the opposite side slowly lowered their guard.
"Who are you?" the leading man asked loudly.
"Who are you?" Zhou Chenghua asked.
The villagers looked at them nervously, fearing that any disagreement would affect ordinary people like them, but they silently formed a circle and surrounded the superpowers in the middle of the circle so that they could mediate immediately when conflicts arise.
These villagers don't seem to be afraid of superpowers, otherwise they would stay far away. How can a group of villagers stop so many superpowers?
…
Half an hour later, the three parties were finally able to sit down for peace talks.
These villagers claimed that they had never left the village since the end of the world and spontaneously formed a small survival group. When I wanted to leave, I realized that the surrounding roads were blocked by mutant plants.
The Awakened team went out to meet the doomsday outbreak and found a village in difficulty along the way, so they helped out. After staying in the village for one night, I felt that there were good people here, so I simply stayed to help the villagers fight against danger.
There is nothing wrong with these remarks, but the whole thing has a sense of dissonance and weirdness, as if it was too smooth.
It was getting late, so Tan Yue simply suggested: "Let's stay here for one night."
The leader of the awakened team said: "Of course, the villagers are all very good people."
So they found an empty house and stayed here.
In the evening, the villagers held a banquet. The meat used in the banquet was mutated wild boar meat. It was said that it was edible, non-toxic, and much more delicious than ordinary pork.
"Little girl, eat this."
The village chief smiled and gave her a piece of pig head meat. Tan Yue couldn't get used to eating these things, so she swallowed it while resisting nausea.
Throughout the night, she was fed various foods. As Tan Yue ate, he had no time to deal with the strange feeling in his heart.
…
The next day, Tan Yue woke up to the mutated birdsong as usual, put away the spider mother who had been guarding her all night, and got up to wash up.
At this time, the door was knocked three times.
"Who is it?" Xiao Miao turned over in bed in a daze. She and Zhou Chenghua and the others played cards too late last night and couldn't get up in the morning.
Tan Yue opened the door, and the village chief smiled and said hello outside.
She squinted her eyes. Judging from last night's meal, there was no shortage of food in this village, but the people here still looked shriveled and thin.
She finally thought about where the dissonance at last night's banquet came from. The entire village looked like they were dying of hunger, but they could easily provide food for them.
"Guest, did you sleep well last night?"
Tan Yue nodded coldly.
"Guests can have breakfast at my house. It's not too late to hit the road after eating." He said with a smile.
After seeing off the village chief, Tan Yue dug Xiao Miao out of bed and went to the village chief's house for breakfast.
Zhou Chenghua and the others also looked like they hadn't woken up. After all, they played a little wildly last night, and it was almost early in the morning before they went to bed.
Breakfast is still the leftovers from last night. Tan Yue reluctantly moved her chopsticks a few times, and then returned to the car first to eat compressed biscuits to satisfy her hunger.
After breakfast, they said goodbye to the people in the village and prepared to continue on their way.
No matter how weird this village is, it is beyond their control.
Most of the people in the car were catching up on their sleep. The men played too late last night. Tan Yue couldn't drive, so Xiao Miao sat in the driver's seat and drove forward.
Suddenly, the car came to a sudden stop.
Zhou Chenghua's head hit the front seat with a thud, and he woke up instantly.
"What are you doing?" he cursed.
He looked up, only to find that no one who was awake in the car paid attention to him. They were all staring at the road ahead with solemn expressions.
Zhou Chenghua suddenly became serious and looked forward.
In front of the road, I saw the village from before!
Have they come full circle?
Xiao Miao frowned suddenly, turned on the satellite navigation, and found that the car that was still moving forward steadily had suddenly jumped to the side of the original village.
She stepped on the accelerator and headed in the right direction again, keeping an eye on the satnav.
But who would have known that the satellite navigation beeped twice and malfunctioned.
As expected, the car started spinning near the village again.
Zhou Chenghua got out of the car with a solemn expression and walked towards the village again.
When the village chief saw them, he first showed a guilty smile.
Zhou Chenghua resisted the urge to ask the village chief, and said patiently: "Village Chief, is there any saying about ghosts breaking walls around here?"
The village chief said: "As expected, you can't get out either."
Later, the village chief told a bizarre story.
In their village, they believe in family immortals. Every household in the village has a snake-shaped statue, which is the Liuxian.
Liu Xian wants tribute. If the tribute is satisfactory that day, the villagers can enter and exit normally; if the tribute is not satisfactory, the people in the village will encounter ghosts and wall-breaking.
Before the end of the world, the villagers still offered tribute every day devoutly, but after the end of the world, the tributes stopped, so the people in the village could no longer leave the village.
The group of awakened people apologized to them: "I'm sorry, we lied to you before. The reason why we stayed here and didn't leave was because the ghosts broke the wall, but you wouldn't believe it if we told you at the time."
Zhou Chenghua's eyebrows furrowed into knots. He is a staunch materialist and does not believe in any fairy at all. Rather than saying that this thing is a manifestation of a family fairy, it is better to say that there is a mutated snake causing trouble.
Xiao Miao quietly complained to Tan Yue: "Are all mutated animals so awesome now? Are they fighting against the wall?"
Tan Yue didn't answer, she was arguing with the system in her mind.
[Host, although the system can provide help, the system is not omnipotent. The host must solve the problem through its own intelligence. Come on! 】
"We are a community of interests, is it necessary for you to do this?"
[Host, this system is used to assist growth. Relying too much on the system will not end well! 】
Zhou Chenghua said to the village chief, "Can you please clear some rooms for us? We may have to bother you here for a while."
The village chief narrowed his shining eyes and suddenly looked directly at Tan Yue: "Yes, but there is a reward."
"What reward?" Tan Yue had a bad feeling.
The village chief said word by word: "I want your big spider."
