A huge village.
But I didn’t see a few families making fire for cooking.
This is a rare thing that has never happened in the small fishing village of Dongshan Village.
Sun Xiaosheng blinked his eyes, full of curiosity.
at this time.
Veteran Sun Zhongguo, who was cutting meat in the kitchen, couldn't help but frowned when he heard what his little grandson said outside.
"What did you say?"
The old man felt a slight bad feeling in his heart, and without putting down the kitchen knife in his hand, he just grabbed it and walked out.
He stood in the yard and looked up at the sky not far away.
indeed!
Except for my own house, I didn't see a wisp of smoke nearby.
Moreover, Sun Zhongguo also felt a very strange silence.
Dongshan Village today... is eerily quiet!
"Little Saint, go back to the house."
The old man spoke in a deep voice, with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Ah? Why, Grandpa."
Sun Xiaosheng obviously hadn't noticed anything was wrong. In his world view, at most he could only think that maybe the neighbor's Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang were in poor health and fell ill at home, so they didn't cook.
But like Sun Zhongguo, veterans who have come step by step from the Era of Disaster and have survived to this day can instinctively realize that the crisis is coming.
"Be obedient, go back and lock the door. No matter what you hear or see, you are not allowed to open the door unless grandpa comes back. Do you understand?"
Sun Xiaosheng was a little frightened by these words, and nodded numbly.
Sun Zhongguo narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the door. As he spoke, he walked into the house. From behind the snakeskin bags piled up behind the door, he took out something wrapped in gray cloth, which was more than one meter long.
When the little saint next to him saw what grandpa took out, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and swallowed.
"That's...that's the sword that grandpa used to have in the army."
Although this boy is young, everything he sees now, including what his grandfather said, makes him realize that something big is about to happen.
Sun Zhongguo was seen tearing off the gray cloth wrapped around the sword, revealing the sharp blade inside. The dark black blade glowed with a chilling light, and a unit number was engraved on it.
Holding the sword again, the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Old man, I hope my instincts are wrong..."
After murmuring in a low voice, Sun Zhongguo touched his grandson's head with love and reluctance in his eyes, and then gently pushed him into the house.
"Remember what grandpa said, lock the door!"
With only these words left, the old man immediately walked towards the door with a sword in his hand.
Through the gap in the door.
Sun Xiaosheng looked at his grandfather's leaving figure. For some reason, a sudden sadness surged into his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"grandfather..."
——
Click!
In Dongshan Village.
At this time, Sun Zhongguo held the sword tightly in his hand. After leaving his home, he first observed his surroundings and found that there was no movement.
But just because of this, it seems unreasonable!
How could it be so quiet in the countryside during dinner time.
He walked lightly and cautiously pressed against the wall on the side of the village road, and began to approach Aunt Zhang's house, which was only a few dozen meters away from his own house.
After arriving at the door of the neighbor's house.
Sun Zhongguo still didn't hear any sound. He frowned and opened the door of Aunt Zhang's house with confusion.
After seeing the picture inside.
He only felt a chill rushing through his heart.
"This, this is..."
Sun Zhongguo's eyes widened, filled with horror and anger.
All I saw was the yard behind the gate.
Aunt Zhang, who was in her sixties, had fallen into a pool of blood. Her whole body seemed to have been bitten by a wild beast, and even one of her limbs was missing.
As for the head, only half of it was left!
The thick smell of blood floated in the air.
"The alien beast is indeed a mutated beast!"
Sun Zhongguo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger.
Besides mutant beasts, what else could cause such a cruel scene before you!
No wonder the village is so quiet today!
No wonder there aren't many homes with fires for cooking.
It turns out that the mutated beast had sneaked into Dongshan Village unknowingly.
Sun Zhongguo glanced at his neighbor Aunt Zhang who was in a pool of blood. It was obvious that she was too dead to die.
At this moment!
There is a home less than 40 meters away from here.
A shrill scream sounded.
"Help! There's a monster!"
Hearing this voice, Sun Zhongguo immediately focused his eyes, raised his knife and rushed towards the house.
Just on the way forward.
There were seven or eight more villagers in their sixties, also holding some hatchets, harpoons and other weapons in their hands, rushing towards here.
"Zhongguo?"
"Lao Qian, Lao Li? You are not dead yet!"
After several old people met each other, they all showed surprised expressions.
"If you old thing can't speak, you don't have to say anything."
Li Changsheng was speechless after hearing Sun Zhongguo's question.
But another old man next to him looked at them.
"Okay, now is not the time for bickering. Did you hear the noise?"
Sun Zhongguo and others nodded.
The old man who spoke is the village chief of Dongshan Village, Chen Heqi. He is seventy years old. It is said that he once belonged to a special forces unit in the northern war zone. After being discharged from the army, he returned to Dongshan Village and became the village chief. He has great influence in the village. Very high prestige.
"Zhongguo, you are a latecomer. When we met just now, we roughly calculated that 80% of the people in the village have been hunted by alien beasts."
Chen Heqi said in a deep voice: "To be able to do this quietly, I'm afraid the level of the alien beasts will not be lower than the warrior level of a human warrior."
Hearing these words, the faces of the elders in the village showed solemn expressions.
Not lower than the warrior level of a human warrior?
With their old bones, if they faced each other head-on, they would have no chance of winning!
Village chief Chen Heqi saw the worry on everyone's faces, thought for two seconds, and then said:
"I won't force you. The situation is critical now. If you are willing to follow me to save people, please stay. If you want to save your life, you can go back to your home immediately!"
After he finished speaking, the old men who followed him fell silent.
after all.
Not all of the people present were veterans who had retired from the army like Chen Heqi and Sun Zhongguo.
Most of them are just ordinary people. If they are asked to face mutant beasts with terrifying strength, it would be a lie to say they are not afraid.
But thinking of the cry for help just now, Li Changsheng and others still couldn't bear it.
Those are all the relatives and neighbors I live with day and night!
"Whether my old bones can survive this winter is still a question. I'll stay!"
Li Changsheng made up his mind and shouted.
"The worst possible outcome is death. They dare to massacre our villagers in Dongshan Village. These beasts are looking for death!"
"That's right. Besides, when I heard the noise, I already reported it to the Law Enforcement Bureau. It won't take long for reinforcements to arrive!"
"Fight with those beasts!"
This group of old people all shouted indignantly.
