Chapter 263: Staying overnight in a mountain village, the weirdness in the village

After saying this, everyone's eyes focused on Duanmu Qing's face.

Duanmuqing smiled slightly and responded:

"Most of the awakened people in the village fled from the ruins of the nearby city."

"Everyone survived the dangerous ruins by chance, and they all hope to live a comfortable life..."

After saying that, Duanmu Qing turned to look at the men standing in the front row among the onlookers.

"The awakened people in the village spontaneously formed a guard team, specifically responsible for hunting the zombie beasts in the nearby mountains and forests."

"Thanks to everyone's efforts, the village has become peaceful."

After hearing Duanmuqing's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

The eyes looking at Duanmu Qing and the villagers became more and more surprised.

After all, it is rare to find such a gathering place of mutual help and care for humans in the apocalypse.

Mu Qiu also narrowed her eyes and nodded slowly.

There was another brief conversation, dominated by greetings between the two parties led by Luo Xiuwen and Duanmuqing.

Luo Xiuwen's words were quite probing, but Duanmuqing's answers were all watertight.

According to Duanmuqing himself, he was originally a key member of an internationally renowned medical company.

After the end of the world, Duan Muqing fled with everyone to this mountain range, and soon lived in seclusion at the foot of the mountain.

Because of his leadership skills, he was elected as the village leader.

After a moment of exchange, Duanmuqing looked up at the getting dark sky, looked at the crowd and said:

"It will take some time for you to cross the mountains, and there are often beasts and monsters in the mountains at night."

"Why don't we stay in the village for one night? Tomorrow I will send the village's escort team to lead a few people out of the mountain..."

Luo Xiuwen heard this and looked at his companions. After several setbacks, they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

Nodding slowly, Luo Xiuwen cupped his fists and said:

"In that case, I'm going to bother you all."

Duanmuqing waved:

"Lang Po, please find a place for everyone to stay, and find some food to entertain a few guests!"

I saw an old man with a stooped back slowly walking out of the crowd.

This old man has a thin body, sallow skin and wrinkles, and wears an old dark blue patterned hood on his head.

And what shocked a few people was——

The right half of this elderly lady's face was blurred as if it had been burned...

The facial muscles are completely twisted together. At first glance, it looks as scary as a mummy!

The old lady hunched over and walked to the front of the crowd. Even the words she spoke were hoarse:

"Guests, please move on. The old lady will help you find a place to stay..."

Although the other party had good intentions, his terrifying appearance coupled with his hoarse voice——

It was like a ghost coming out of a horror movie, which made everyone who was used to zombie heretics subconsciously alert.

Duanmuqing saw everyone's reactions and explained:

"You don't need to worry about it. Luang Phor was burned by fire during the escape. After rescue, he saved his life, but his appearance became like this..."

After hearing Duan Muqing's words, several people couldn't help but look at Long Po with a little pity in their eyes.

There was no change in Long Po's eyes, and she said in a hoarse accent: Tianlai Novel Network

"Haha, it's all old news. The old woman won't live long at this age, so she doesn't care about this skin for a long time..."

After saying that, he led everyone towards a village near the back of the mountain.

Under the brick house, Duanmuqing stared at the people's leaving figures and remained silent for a long time.

"Sir, we..."

Several awakened people among the villagers behind them stepped forward and seemed to want to say something, but were stopped by Duanmu Qing with a wave of his hand.

"Let's go."

Duanmu Qing's eyes were cold, he glanced at everyone's backs, and then walked towards the depths of the village behind him.

But at this time, the villagers gathered around had not dispersed yet.

They were all staring in the direction where everyone was leaving, their eyeballs filled with bloodshot eyes——

There was a sound of swallowing...

"Um?"

Duanmu Qing suddenly turned around and looked at the villagers with fierce eyes.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

Hundreds of villagers suddenly had panic in their eyes and fled in all directions.

After a while, only Duanmu Qing and a few awakened people in the village were left around.

"Boss, don't you need to take care of those people?"

Duanmu Qing frowned slightly: "Those people are not simple. Since they can't take one bite, there is no need to ask for trouble."

"I'll find a chance to send them away tomorrow, and I'll tell everyone in the village to be honest tonight!"

"yes!!"

——————

The entire village is not large, and it only took a quarter of an hour.

Long Po took everyone to an earthen house at the head of the village.

The house is still made of discarded wooden boards and missing bricks. It can be seen that there has been no trace of habitation inside for a long time.

"The guests will stay here tonight. The old lady will prepare some food for you..."

After speaking, Luang Po staggered and turned around to leave.

Luo Xiuwen looked at Ah Xing, the sentient awakener in the team, who slowly shook his head:

"Nothing has been discovered yet."

Mu Qiu smiled meaningfully and said:

"I didn't expect this village chief to be so young and promising..."

Mao Yuming rubbed his messy hair and said vaguely:

"I think there's something wrong with this village chief. He speaks in a formal manner, and I always feel like there's something weird about him."

The strong man on the side hesitated and said: "But Brother Luo, this guy is in this state and it's almost too much..."

Some people have a more open-minded view: "I think this village is quite good. We have traveled for such a long time and we might as well rest here for a few more days."

Luo Xiuwen looked at the gradually darkening sky outside and said:

"We'll spend the night here first, and we'll set off tomorrow morning!"

After a while, the dragon mother came in carrying an iron pot.

Everyone looked around and saw that the pot was filled with wild vegetables.

There is also a circle of corn and sweet potatoes placed on the steamer of the iron pot.

"In a deserted village, there is nothing to entertain you. Please forgive me."

No one was surprised by this, after all, they didn't expect any delicacies from this small, secluded village.

"The old lady lives in the house in front. If any of the guests need anything, just ask me..."

After Long Po left, Luo Xiuwen glanced at Ah Xing vaguely, and the latter nodded slowly.

Seeing Ah Xing nod, everyone felt relieved, picked up the hot food and ate it.

But Mu Qiu seemed to feel something, looking towards the other side of the village through the dusk.
