Chapter 24: Anlong Village
Chapter 24
The off-road vehicle slowly drove into the small village. A mutated big yellow dog was tied to a pillar at the entrance of the village. When it saw the car in the distance, it started barking.
The big yellow dog's eyes were all red, its fangs were dripping with saliva, and it looked ferocious and terrifying.
"Rhubarb, rhubarb! Stop shouting..." A woman came over. She was wearing a large floral top and dark green leggings, a typical rural woman's dress. Her face was sallow and thin, but her expression was the same as before the apocalypse.
, calm and peaceful, completely free of the vigilance unique to people in the last days.
The woman approached the mutated big yellow dog. The big yellow dog stopped barking and started wagging its tail at the woman. It was no different from an ordinary rural dog.
The woman looked up and saw the off-road vehicle. She was overjoyed and shouted to the village with a smile: "Master! Someone is here!"
"Is someone here?" A man with slightly white hair and wrinkles on his face came out after hearing this, holding a broom for farm work in his hand, full of life, with unusual joy and enthusiasm on his face.
"Quick, quick, quick! Hello, hello! Go and inform everyone that someone from outside the village is here!"
"Okay!" The woman took small steps and turned around and disappeared. After a while, about ten people came out one after another, including people of all ages, old and young.
The villagers looked at Jun Yi and his group curiously. If Jun Yi and others had not lived in the apocalypse for half a year, they would have been confused by the scene in front of them, thinking that they had just come to a relatively poor small village.
The village chief is a middle-aged man with a straight back. When he smiles, he has two deep crow's feet at the end of his eyes. He looks very friendly.
When he saw Mu Yun, he looked slightly stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little unnatural. Then he shook hands with Li Qing and greeted him warmly. He obviously regarded Li Qing as the leader of the four.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a 'Peach Blossom Land' in this apocalyptic world." Mu Yun marveled, not noticing the village chief's abnormality, and began to explore around without leaving any trace.
There are two or three chicken sheds in the adjacent yard. Vegetables that have not mutated in late autumn are grown in several yards. There are also cowsheds and sheep pens. The chickens and dogs are hearing each other and it is very lively. The place is full of fireworks.
It is a miracle that such a village exists safely and soundly in the apocalypse.
Mu Yun's eyes turned slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Something is wrong with this village...
It seems so right again.
After a while, several people entered the dean's yard. As soon as they entered, Mu Yun spotted the eye-catching black backpack and some climbing equipment in the corner of the yard, as well as some high-quality ropes and diving equipment.
"My name is Yang Hui, and I am the village chief of Anlong Village." Yang Hui looked at him with a strong figure, which was different from the thin villagers.
Mu Yun's eyes stayed on Yang Hui's face. He always felt that this person looked familiar and felt that he had seen him before.
"You are people with superpowers, right? Haha, we haven't had outsiders here for months. As soon as the villagers heard that people with superpowers were coming, everyone went to the entrance of the village to join in the fun." Yang Hui led Jun Yi and others in.
She walked into the house with a smile on her face, as if a relative had arrived at home.
Facing the enthusiastic Yang Hui, Li Qing scratched his head in confusion: "Yes, my name is Li Qing and I am a mutant. This is Mu Yun, a wind awakener..." Li Qing simply said
After a brief introduction, we arrived at Junyi and Wujia. It took a long time to think about it, but we didn’t know how to introduce it.
"My name is Jun Yi." Jun Yi said succinctly, then pointed at Wugou and spit out two words: "Wugou."
Wu Gu shrank his feet uncomfortably. If Mu Yun hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have wanted to get out of the car.
Fortunately, the villagers didn't have much reaction when they saw Wu Gu, and just whispered curiously for a while.
After being escorted into the courtyard, Wu San breathed a sigh of relief.
"These days, apart from the people at the base, only people with super powers like you dare to go anywhere with just one car. You haven't imported anything hot for many days in the wild. Come on, I have some tea at home. You're welcome.
." A woman at the entrance of the village brought up a pot of hot tea with one hand. She called herself Aunt Chen. Her thin body was like a withered straw that could be broken at any time. She put a row of porcelain bowls on the table with a smile and filled them with light yellow tea enthusiastically for everyone.
The tea leaves float in the bowl, exuding a light fragrance.
Mu Yun lowered his eyebrows slightly, looking thoughtfully at the little tea foam floating on the tea.
Tea is a good thing.
In this apocalyptic world, people are hungry and survival is a problem. Things like cigarettes, wine, coffee, and tea are all expensive luxuries.
Although these villagers seemed to be alive and well, looking at their faces and figures, they looked like they were barely surviving from starvation. How could they entertain some of the supernatural beings who were passing by them with something like tea?
"Why don't you go to the base?" Mu Yun said thank you to the tea handed over by the woman, then put it in front of him without moving, and raised his eyes to ask Yang Hui.
Yang Hui smiled, with a hint of melancholy and regret on his face: "We also want to go, but there are too many variables on the road, we have a family with us, and the village is not dangerous."
"Isn't it dangerous?" Mu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to ask something else. Then he saw Jun Yi holding up the tea bowl, blowing on the floating tea on it, and took a sip.
Mu Yun wanted to stop him, but Jun Yi had already drank it. The words he wanted to ask were stuck in his mouth for a while, and his expression looked a little weird.
When Li Qing saw Jun Yi drinking, he also picked up the bowl, but Mu Yun secretly stepped on him and his face turned ugly. His fingers were burned red by the hot tea, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He looked at Mu carefully.
Yun glanced at Mu Yun and saw that Mu Yun didn't even give him a glance, so he put down the tea bowl in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Yang Hui didn't seem to notice this. He smiled and explained to Mu Yun: "Some people came to the Northern Base before. They said that there was a large mutated individual in the nearby Chengshui Lake. The Northern Base called it 'Fish'.
Strange', what is the number... sd... something like 002."
Yang Hui touched his nose in embarrassment and continued: "Anyway, it's just a very powerful water monster. This guy has a sense of territory. The nearby devourers don't dare to come. In addition, the fish monster can't get to the shore. For a while, we
But I managed to steal a safe place, but... there was chaos outside, and after the disaster, no one in our village went out anymore."
"So that's it." Mu Yun showed a gentle smile. Yang Hui's beautiful appearance made Yang Hui look confused, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
"Village Chief, according to what you just said, people from the Northern Base have been here before?" Mu Yun asked seemingly unintentionally, with a pair of loving eyes shining: "Then have they all left now?"
"Ah... yes, they left a long time ago. They came here to collect some samples and went to Chengshui Lake. Later, they said that the task was completed, so they rested in the village for a while and then went back. Those things in the yard were in their car
When I couldn’t fit it anymore, I just threw it in the yard, telling me when I would come back to pick it up or use it the next time I came back.”
A strange color flashed across Mu Yun's eyes, and he looked at Jun Yi without any trace.
Jun Yi probably felt that the tea was not tasty, so he put it down after two sips. At this time, he was listening carefully to Yang Hui's words.
Mu Yun felt helpless when she saw this. After half a year of getting along with him, she completely understood Jun Yi's nature.
Although he looks aloof and mysterious, and sometimes gives people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with, he is actually a straightforward and simple person in his heart.
Sometimes they look very cute.
Mu Yun still remembers Jun Yi's expression when he used the faucet for the first time and when he ate hot pot for the first time. He was dumbfounded and funny.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun felt the corners of her lips curl up slightly, but then she felt a little sad.
Jun Yi has an air of magnanimity and straightforwardness about her. As long as there are no logical loopholes or flaws, she is willing to believe anyone who tells her. At this time, she must have completely believed Yang Hui's words without any doubts.
"Village Chief, the house has been tidied up." Aunt Chen's voice came from outside the door. She poked her head out, raised the spoon in her hand, and smiled at Jun Yi and others: "I'll make you something delicious. Go quickly.
have a rest!"
After hearing this, Jun Yi looked at Aunt Chen gratefully and said, "Thank you, you are very enthusiastic."
Mu Yun wanted to sigh when he heard this, but held it back.
Chapter completed!
