Chapter Five Hundred and Seventieth: The Silent Town
Being in darkness, there is no perception.
When I regained my vision from the complete darkness that lasted for a minute, I looked closely and saw that the surrounding environment was not as bright as I imagined, but instead it was a dark night.
night?
After discovering this, except for the three newcomers in the team who were still shrinking from the crowd and staring in fear, the senior members immediately observed their surroundings.
As far as the eye can see, although the scene cannot be seen very far due to the darkness, the nearby houses and the lights from the windows clearly tell everyone the answer, that is, this is a small town.
Not only that, as the observation continued, everyone gradually realized that the environment here was similar to what they saw in the video preview. If nothing unexpected happened...
The answer is self-evident.
With the help of the surrounding lights and a general overview of the environment, Yao Fujiang was the first to come to the conclusion: "I think this is the Senyun town mentioned in the mission information, right? A mountain town surrounded by mountains, but... I didn't expect it.
It will be night time."
After Yao Fujiang said this, because he felt the same way, Peng Hu, who was carrying He Fei on his back, also nodded in agreement after looking around: "Well, it should be more or less the same. You can see it through the shadows of the mountains in the distance.
The street we are currently on is very similar to the street in the video, so it seems that it should be the Senyun Town."
The conversation was like this, and the facts were just as Peng and Yao described. As soon as they got off the train, the executors appeared directly inside the town. The environment was indeed the remote small town surrounded by mountains in the video.
town.
Sure enough, after receiving accurate information and seeing themselves in a small town, the next moment, most people on the scene turned their eyes reflexively, subconsciously looking at Peng Hu's back and staring at He Fei, and then...
After seeing clearly the unconscious appearance of the other party, everyone involuntarily looked confused and fell into silence, not knowing what to do for a while.
The reason why these people reacted like this is actually easy to understand. To put it bluntly, it is inertia. It is due to the inertia developed over a long period of time. After all, He Fei is the captain, the commander and the backbone of the entire team. In the past, everyone has always followed the rules when performing supernatural missions.
The strategic ideas constructed by He Fei are in action, and many things are also directed by He Fei. Now entering the mission and being in a small town, although they know that the opponent is unconscious, but driven by inertia, everyone still instinctively waits for the young man, waiting for the captain to make up his mind and then inform everyone
What to do next.
pity……
Staring at He Fei who was alive but unconscious in front of him, the senior man suddenly felt confused and didn't know what to do.
Noticing that everyone looked confused and was silent for a few seconds, Cheng Ying stepped out and turned to the executors: "Since the mission is limited to 7 days, according to past experience, this supernatural mission is a mid-term mission, and mid-term missions are often dangerous.
It will be increased step by step. The mission has just begun. I think even if there are locusts, it is impossible for them to attack us so soon. That being the case, I think we should find a place to stay first and then discuss what to do next."
Seeing Cheng Ying step forward, most of the people were stunned. Fortunately, there were no idiots at the scene, and what the other party said was indeed reasonable. After saying this, everyone nodded.
The rest of the matter was simple. Seeing that the executors agreed, Cheng Ying immediately took the lead and rushed along the street with everyone. The intention was extremely obvious. Since this is a small town, there must be many residents in the town. Just from the surrounding people,
It can be seen from the lights shining through the houses that they, the executors, are short of everything but money. As long as they have enough money, I believe it will be easy to find a private residence where they can stay.
Facing the moonlight at high altitude, and with the help of street lamps, he was walking. I don't know if he suddenly thought of something. After patting his head, Peng Hu went straight to Cheng Ying and asked: "By the way, there are 10 of us here. I'm afraid we can't live in a private house."
Bar?"
Unexpectedly, the bald man was still paying attention to the smallest details at this time. As expected, Cheng Ying was too lazy to answer, leaving Peng Hu puzzled. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyao stepped forward in time to clear up the worries and saw him grinning at Peng Hu as he walked.
He joked: "Hey, Brother Peng, I found that you are really awesome. Sometimes, even if you think too much, you can't do it."
Why are you thinking of useless things? The problem you just asked is actually easy to solve. Let me ask you, if you are a poor farmer, and one day some strangers suddenly come outside and ask for tens of thousands of yuan to rent your house for a few days, then...
…Are you willing to accept the money and go out to live with your neighbor for a few days? Or are you willing to refuse the other party’s request?”
Chen Xiaoyao's words immediately attracted Yao Fujiang's unanimous agreement. After all, Chen Xiaoyao and Zhao Ping had done this before during their previous trip to Yinshan. This trick was very effective. There are really not many people in the world who can resist the temptation when money is the road.
After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, Peng Hu smiled awkwardly at Cheng Ying as if he suddenly understood. No wonder the other party ignored him. It turned out that his worries were meaningless. As for Chen Xiaoyao, after feeling proud, he turned around and glanced at Zhao Ping behind him secretly.
, the man with glasses doesn’t look like
The others looked around while walking, but followed the team silently, as if they were thinking about something. Qian Xueling was indeed close to Zhao Ping as expected. As she walked, the woman's eyes were alert and she looked around.
Grabbing Zhao Ping's arm and looking at him
The field continued to extend, and following the two figures were three newcomers. Sure enough, the newcomers performed as expected. Although they followed the team, the unique oppressive atmosphere of the mission world still surrounded them at all times. In addition, it was the first time to perform a supernatural
Task,
This caused a few people to feel uneasy. Fang Hai and Gao Jikun all looked panicked and followed the team. Only the woman named Yue Xiao made him look at him with admiration. There was no denying that the woman was also a little nervous, but she was not as nervous as Gao Jikun and the other two.
That showed obvious fear.
The above is the current status of the team. After secretly observing everyone, Chen Xiaoyao smiled and whispered to himself: "Hehe, interesting."
"What? Chen Xiaoyao, what are you talking about? What's interesting?"
I originally thought that the whisper belonged to me, but unexpectedly, the young Taoist priest's whisper was heard by Yao Fujiang, who had been walking beside him. In confusion, his curiosity immediately aroused, and he asked without hesitation, which played into Chen Xiaoyao's plan.
Since I felt a little uncomfortable after being silent for a long time, Taoist Chen, who had long wanted to talk nonsense when he heard the other party's question, could keep silent? He raised his eyebrows, grinned, and glanced to the left and right sides, seeing that several people nearby had not spoken.
Paying attention to himself, Taoist Chen made a weird little move, moved slightly closer, put his arms around Yao Fujiang's shoulders as he walked, and finally put his mouth to his ear and whispered something that puzzled the flat-headed young man:
"Brother Fu Jiang, let me give you a suggestion now, that is, you'd better not be alone in this mission, and don't stay with other people. There are only two people you can follow. Either follow Brother Peng closely or try your best.
Stay with Cheng Ying."
"Um?"
Yao Fujiang raised his head blankly, staring at the other person with a puzzled face, looking at the smiling face, and was about to ask a question, but Chen Xiaoyao stopped explaining, shrugged, retracted his arm, and continued walking as if nothing happened.
.
Let’s not talk about the thoughts of Chen Yao and Chen Yao behind. At this moment, if anyone observes carefully or observes someone, they will find that Cheng Ying, who is currently walking at the front of the team, has gradually complicated and changing expressions. Unknowingly, her expression is walking like this.
In the process, he became increasingly gloomy and frowned.
………
The waning moon hangs high in the sky, and the environment is extremely quiet. Except for a series of footsteps coming from far and near on the street, the whole town seems to have fallen asleep, sleeping in this seemingly ordinary wilderness.
Under the night, in the street, a group of people walked at a constant speed with the help of the lights of the houses on both sides. Not to mention, if they didn't want to go shopping, they found out that this mountain town was really as large as the video showed. Everyone left.
She didn't leave the main street of the town for a long time. Cheng Ying estimated that the entire town should cover an area of one kilometer. Although it is much smaller than a regular town, it is still very big to have such a small town in these mountains.
Amazing.
I keep walking around and searching endlessly.
Soon, under the leadership of Cheng Ying, the group of people finally stopped walking and stopped searching, and stopped outside a large brick house. There is no doubt that, as described above, everyone has been looking, along the way Cheng Ying
Sakura was always looking for a private house that could accommodate the entire team, and her hard work paid off. After searching for a long time, she actually found a private house that was larger than other private houses.
As for this rather impressive house, its owner is either a village cadre or a wealthy person in the village.
Of course, it doesn’t matter who the homeowner is. What’s important is that after searching for a long time, only this house seemed to be able to accommodate many people. He stopped in front of the door and looked at it for a moment. Without any signal from others, Yao Fujiang volunteered and strode forward.
He raised his hand to knock on the door.
However...
"Wait a moment!"
For some reason, just when Yao Fujiang was about to put his hand on the door and make a noise, Cheng Ying suddenly stopped him behind him. Not only did the young man turn his head in confusion, but also the other executioners looked at him in confusion. Everyone looked at him.
Pursing her lips, Cheng Ying said: "Have you noticed that... this town is too quiet?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. It didn't take a moment for some people to understand the meaning of his words. At the same time, a sense of uneasiness quietly came over at this moment.
Yes, Cheng Ying's meaning is very obvious, that is, if everyone could only roughly observe the surroundings through their eyes more than ten minutes ago when they first appeared in the town, then as they walked along and observed more deeply,
Cheng Ying, who has always been very perceptive, gradually discovered something. She discovered something. She discovered something strange about the town, that is, it was quiet. The whole town was too quiet!
Although it can be explained by the fact that the town is less noisy than during the day at night, except for the houses with lights on both sides of the street, which give people the feeling that there are people inside, everything else on the road is too quiet. Yes,
This is a small town in the mountains, even at night
Residents go to bed early, but every household always feeds livestock, right? There should be some barking of dogs and crowing of chickens, right? After all, this is not a big city where keeping pets is prohibited, but a rural village that is both backward and remote. This is true.
But what about the fact? The fact is...
Along the way, apart from their group of enforcers, not only was there not a single person to be seen on the entire street, there was not even a sound of an animal chirping!
