Chapter 56: The House Has Evil Neighbors
"That... Commander?"
Looking at the people passing by from time to time, Kurona, who was a little timid by nature, still hesitated and called out. Hearing her voice, Feiren just turned her head and glanced at the little guy.
"What's up?"
"Where is this place...who are these people...who are these people?"
After hesitating for a while, Kurona still asked. Although she was timid by nature, because this town was too strange, it was different from other gathering places that Kurona had seen. So although she was a little nervous, Kurona still bit her teeth and asked. Originally, this should be Aluka's job, but now Aluka has no wish to be tied to her harmony number for the rest of her life. Sister Chris doesn't like to communicate with others, so Kurona has to speak by herself.
“This is Xinghua Village.”
However, Feren is not as difficult to get close to as Kurona imagined. On the contrary, he quickly gave the two answers with a smile.
"Although this name is very vulgar...well, it's nothing. In short, if they like to call this name, just call this name. As for these people... most of them can be regarded as my compatriots."
“Comrades?”
When Kurona heard this word, she tilted her head in confusion. This word was very strange to her, and it seemed that this was the first time she heard it.
"Yes, you probably should have heard that the land under our feet once belonged to a large country."
“…………………”
Hearing this, Chris and Kurona nodded. The time was not long after the catastrophe, so most people still have this knowledge. Those born in the wilderness had no idea about "country", but they had only seen it in some pre-disaster movies or books. Faren smiled and then pointed to the yellow-skinned and dark-haired people next to them.
"Neither they are from this country, we are from another country."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Chris and Kurona were both stunned.
“Another country?”
"Yes, on the other side of the sea, it is a very far place. When the "Cataclysm" occurred, we naturally couldn't go back because there was no sign of warning, so we had to find a place to settle here. Because most of us are from that country, we got together... Of course, some were born here, but it also has something to do with us..."
“…………………”
Faced with Feiron's explanation, Chris and Kurona could only listen blankly. They did not understand the meaning of Feiron's words. To them, the word "compatriots" is as strange as "country", and they did not understand why these people gathered together. Is it because they all look the same? But why aren't the others like them?
Feilun did not intend to explain too much to them. Many things in the end of the world have become different. They are different now than before, and it is still difficult to say whether they will be the same as they are now. And...
"Some of them are still thinking about going back."
"go back?"
"Yes, there is a saying in our country that leaves return to the roots, which is also our tradition. But... for the moment, this may be difficult to achieve."
As he spoke, Feren shrugged his shoulders. To be honest, this is indeed a very difficult thing. There is a Pacific Ocean between the two sides. If it was before the disaster, it would be very easy to go back to his hometown, just take a plane. But now, this has become very difficult. After the "Catastrophe", the plane cannot fly above the clouds at all. These dark clouds not only have the ability to block the sunlight, but also have some mysterious powerful force, which makes any aircraft destroyed after entering the clouds. Therefore, even helicopters or other aircraft dare to fly low altitudes under the clouds, which obviously cannot be used for long-distance flights.
Moreover, it is also very dangerous to travel on a cruise ship. The "catastrophe" has changed many animals on land. No one can guarantee that the ocean will be an exception. Some strange creatures may appear, such as the extreme deep sea, the extreme deep sea, the extreme deep sea... and so on.
In addition, drinking water, supply, food, etc. are all major problems. What is more important is ships. The first thing that broke out during the catastrophe was earthquakes and tsunamis, so almost all the ocean-going ships that could be used were completely ruined. Of course, they could not rely on small steam turbine ships to cross the entire Pacific Ocean. Not to mention that they could not contact the satellite radar in outer space at all under the isolation of black clouds. Therefore, if they want to obtain positioning and information, they either have "human radar" capabilities like Kurona, or they have a node with similar abilities like the "emperor". Otherwise, it would be basically impossible to return to the era before the disaster that relies on satellite positioning to live a life of life. In this case, ocean-going ships naturally cannot be used. Unless they learn from Columbus, they may have to face their hometown across the sea in their lives.
Thinking of this, Feiren's mouth slightly raised, and a strange smile appeared. Then he reached out to lower the brim of his hat and covered his eyes. At this moment, the man also brought them to his destination.
"Hello, Doctor Fei, I really didn't expect you to come so soon."
"After all, I'm more curious about this, the village chief."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Feilun nodded respectfully to him and then sat on a chair. Unlike the chaotic situation at other gathering sites, Xinghua Village has done a good job from the beginning. After all, in their country, the clan politics and ruling structure in this village have been going on for thousands of years. While the idiots in other gathering sites are still discussing whether to be democratic or dictatorial, Xinghua Village has long been following the ancient tradition and beginning to gather its own strength.
"I heard that there is a group of uninvited guests near you?"
"That's right, doctor."
Hearing this, the old man's face, which was originally with a kind smile, suddenly became frowning. This was also the reason why he asked Feilun for help - that was that a group of uninvited guests appeared around Xinghua Village, and more importantly...
"That's a group of demons."
"Are you sure?"
Although I had already received the news, when I heard the old village chief say it in person, even Feilun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Yes, in fact..."
Under the old village chief's account, Feilun quickly understood the whole story.
The incident happened after the electromagnetic storm. Xinghua Village survived the last electromagnetic storm, but before they could be happy to escape the disaster again, the patrol post in the periphery found that something strange happened in the mine area not far south of them. First of all, every night, there would be strange laughter like ghosts, and even blue fires could be seen from afar, like ghosts of ghosts. Because similar things had never happened before, this naturally caused panic among the crowd. In order to find out what was going on there, the old village chief also sent a team to check the movements of the mine. The result was beyond their expectations. It should be said that they did not expect such a thing to happen.
"A group of strange demons occupied the mines and drove away our people... We have nothing to say about this, but these demons have become more and more excessive over the past period of time. They not only occupy our territory, but also burn our crops and vegetables..."
When he said this, the old man frowned and shivered in anger.
"Even the only few cows left in the village were killed by them! We can't continue like this. We originally planned to keep these cows for the New Year, but now, we have lost one for some reason, and everyone will never agree!"
Stupid Devil, try the anger of my foodie empire!
"That's why I came to see me?"
"That's right."
After venting his anger, the old village chief finally calmed down a little. He sighed, then looked at the black cat lying on Feren's knees and stared at him curiously.
"I think Doctor Fei, you also know that things like magic have very strange powers. To be honest, if they are mutants or zombies, or even death claws, we are not afraid, but things like magic are too strange. We cannot communicate with them and communicate with them, nor do we know what they want to do. But magic and magic can communicate. You are the only person in the entire eastern wilderness who has magic as a servant. Therefore, although we know that this is a troublesome, we have to ask for your help..."
So that's it...
When Faren heard the old village chief's words, he narrowed his eyes. Demons rarely appear on the territory of humans, let alone get so close to them. But not every human can figure out what the demon wants to do. Some demons do not even understand human language and cannot communicate with humans. The people in Xinghua Village naturally cannot fight against the demons. Some demons are not the same as the original creatures on earth because of their own attributes, and even if they are invulnerable to the fire, they are completely different from the original creatures on earth. Only those who are capable and demons can deal with the demons. This is also the main reason why the old village chief asks Faren for help.
After sorting out the information in his mind, Feiren quickly gave the answer.
"I got it, village chief, I will go and see what's going on there."
