When they first saw this huge stone village, the four of them felt extremely depressed.
Not to mention, the village looked dilapidated, as if it had been devastated by war for a long time. Even the signs of life coming and going in this village surprised the four of them.
The mission made it very clear that due to the infection in this village, there were no survivors in the entire village.
But now, looking from the top of the mountain, the whole village is full of people coming and going, and there is no sign of death or panic due to infectious diseases.
However, the villagers in these villages all look sallow and thin, with extremely obvious dents on their cheeks, and their fierce eyes are surrounded by thick dark circles. Obviously, these people are all mutants!
"They are all infected with mutated viruses?!" Pu Feiyu said in horror. After all, if everyone in this village was infected with the virus because of the murder, it would be impossible for so many people to stand in front of everyone alive without a good medical environment.
"Am I, will we be their opponents?" Fang Qing was a little out of breath, and simply sat on the ground to prevent herself from seeing this fact. After all, it doesn't feel good to stand in front of someone who knows they are dead but still or not jumping around.
"The mission said that an infectious disease broke out in this village a long time ago. There can be many situations: 1. The infectious disease is not fatal. 2. The infectious disease only circulated for a while and was later stopped. 3. Infection The disease lasts for a short period of time and was over before we arrived. But no matter which type it is, we cannot completely deny that people in this village may mutate." Ye Xiu pushed up his glasses and observed carefully covering the whole village.
After the mutated virus enters the human body, not everyone can accept it well. Most people with poor health will die from the virus. Without energy support, the virus will eat away at the body and eventually digest the entire person. But everyone in this village is alive. It can be seen that there are still so many people alive in this village with such a lack of resources. Obviously there are other channels to obtain energy.
"We are just here to find someone. It would be nice if we don't anger them all. Is it possible that they will eat us when they see us?" Pu Feiyu asked.
"But don't worry too much. Judging from their appearance, they should not be very strong. It is not difficult to deal with them." Ye Xiu said.
"I hope so." Pu Feiyu said.
"Well, that makes sense. But, these villagers all look so scary. It seems like they are all vampire bats! Moreover, they all seem to be very slovenly." Fang Qing frowned.
"It's strange. Except for the children, everyone in this village is skinny and skinny?" Ye Xiu frowned.
At this moment, Ye Yin suddenly realized that someone was staring at him from behind. Turning around, I saw it was a mother and daughter. My mother's eyes were thin and swollen, her fingers were dry, and the fingernails on both hands were as sharp as the tips of knives.
The little girl next to her is white, tender and clean. She smiled at Ye Yin, with a lot of novelty in her eyes.
"Brothers and sisters!! Are you from the city!?" the little girl asked excitedly: "My name is Hua'er, and I am six years old this year! This is my mother, Xiuling!"
Ye Xiu looked at the mother and daughter carefully, and said with a slight smile: "Ha, my kid guessed it right. We are short of supplies in the city and want to come to the village to collect some resources."
How could a mother with such disheveled hair and no image bring up such a bright and clear daughter? Isn't this completely out of proportion?
Also, this mother’s nails don’t have a trace of red, they are completely white and stiff, and they don’t look like they grew normally?
He has a hunched back, a stooped waist, a sallow face and thin muscles, and he looks like he hasn't had enough to eat for many days.
"Ah! Welcome! We haven't had anyone from the city here for a long, long time! Come on, please come to my house. I'll cook for you! Have a good rest!" Xiuling smiled and looked at her. The four of them looked respectful.
"Haha! Auntie, thank you then. We also brought food. We will definitely give you the corresponding food to exchange for the food you gave me!" Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"Ah! You're welcome, you're welcome, now that we are here. We are a family! Hehe!"
Xiuling excitedly pulled her daughter back, smiling from time to time to signal everyone not to go the wrong way.
"Hey! Do you think this aunt is a little weird? And that little girl is a little weird too?" Pu Feiyu said softly.
"Yes! Yes! It has been said before that the villages on the outskirts of the city have very strict controls on the outside population. Countless people who fled from the city to the countryside were killed. But here is the complete opposite?" Fang Qing responded.
"There is indeed something strange. Everyone should be careful. This mother and daughter must have other intentions." Ye Yin said.
As we gradually entered the main street at the entrance of the village, what caught our eyes were the dilapidated bluestone roads and the dark fire marks next to each earthen house. The dry villagers dragged their heavy steps and looked at the four people who entered the village with excitement in their eyes. His speech and behavior were full of respect and courtesy.
Soon, the four of them arrived in front of Xiuling's house. But at this time, the four people were also surrounded by fellow villagers. They stared at the limbs of the four of them excitedly, talking about each other.
"Hey! Don't think my house is too small. Sit anywhere you want! Sit anywhere you want! I'll make you something to eat." Xiuling invited the four of them to sit in the hall, then turned around and got into the kitchen.
"Hello everyone! We are from S City. Because there is famine in the city and natural disasters are serious, we want to move to the village to avoid the limelight and collect some resources. My name is Ye Yin, and these are my partners, Ye Xiu, Fang Qing and Pu Feiyu.”
Ye Yin greeted the villagers surrounding him, but it seemed like they didn't hear him. Everyone is talking to themselves, and wherever their eyes look, there are only four limbs?
"Um... just stop reading. Let's break up. We want to take a rest. Okay?" Fang Qing waved her hand slightly and said awkwardly.
Now, the people around seemed to have seen enough. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the group slowly left after the group.
"Hua'er, can you tell brother, why are everyone in your village so thin? Is it the food in the village that cannot be eaten?" Ye Xiu came to Hua'er and raised a candy.
"Well... they don't eat the fruits and vegetables grown in the village. We eat them all." Hua'er took the candy and looked at it happily for a long time.
"Then why don't you eat it?" Ye Xiu asked doubtfully.
"Well... they made us fat. They ate us, and then gave us some more. When dividing the meat, the aunt with a big belly would share more, and the aunt with a small belly would share less. But every time the meat was divided, those Uncle can fight!" Hua'er opened the candy and swallowed it expressionlessly.
What! A thunder seemed to flash in Ye Xiu's mind. Fatten the child and eat the child? ! Why do these people only eat children? Besides, what the hell is that expression on your face? Is it possible that they want to eat you and you don’t feel it at all?
"Are you willing to be eaten?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise.
"Brother! You are so strange. Mom and Dad raised us, and our lives are theirs. We must be grateful. Besides, they only eat once for a long, long time. They can only make a living by hunting, but rarely I can hit him." Hua'er frowned.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise.
"If I can prevent them from starving, then I will do it!" Hua'er said with a smile.
This kid is actually completely numb? What a scary village! What is the difference between this place and purgatory on earth? If a person's fate at birth is to be eaten, then what's the difference between living and raising pigs?
Ye Xiu was completely confused. Thinking of the kind-faced aunt just now and those white-eyed wolves staring at him, he gradually felt sick in his heart. The reason why they are so excited and enthusiastic is that their ultimate goal is to eat us.
"Hua'er, can you tell me brother? Why don't the uncles and aunts in the village eat the food in the village? Why are they only given to you?" Ye Yin patted Ye Xiu's shoulder, knelt down and handed it to I bought a flower and a candy.
"If they eat it, they will die!" Hua'er took the candy, opened it excitedly, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Will you die?! Is it because something happened in the village a long time ago, so..."
"I don't know! They didn't tell me!" Hua'er pouted.
Will you die if you eat food from the village? But why do these children grow so fat after eating them? Is it possible that their immune systems are much stronger than those of adults? Ye Yin frowned and turned to look at Ye Xiu.
"I think it's probably because of an infectious disease!" Ye Xiu pulled Ye Yin over and motioned for Feiyu and Fang Qing to come closer: "If I'm not mistaken, these villagers are suffering from a special infectious disease and cannot eat normal food. Crops that are edible for humans. They can only live by eating meat!”
"No wonder there aren't even dogs in this village." Fang Qing said fearfully.
Ye Yin frowned and said: "It seems like we can't live here for a long time. We still need to find a camp of our own and set up camp. To prevent these villagers from plotting secretly."
"If we leave rashly, they will definitely think that we are aware of it. Wouldn't they act earlier?" Ye Xiu said.
"Are we staying here and waiting to die?" Pu Feiyu said in panic.
"No, we have Keeling's primary skills. It's not that easy to die. Besides, we don't have any clues about the legion guards!"
