Two hundred and sixty-three. Companions are buried in ice and silence
A wooden boat ran aground on the shore.
Blah blah blah
The tide washes against the pebble beach, making a sound like a wild animal licking water.
Behind the hills not far away, several figures appeared.
"There's someone in the boat!" exclaimed.
Abilochi cursed in a low voice: "Idiot, how can anyone be alive? That's a monster, we should turn around and go back now."
"You are the idiot." Giles retorted unwillingly: "That's where the water is collected. Do you want everyone in the town to die of thirst? That monster is motionless. We should take the opportunity to destroy it."
Abilochi did not argue with Giles, who was like a child, and looked at the woman who had not spoken a word: "Sister, shall we go back and call the townspeople to come and help?"
"Maybe it's too late."
With her brown ponytail tied up and a centipede-like scar extending diagonally from the corner of her eyebrows to the corner of her mouth, the strong woman grabbed a spear and climbed out of the hill. She approached the pebble beach as swiftly and silently as a cheetah until the wooden boat entered her spear-throwing range.
Abiloch and Giles followed behind, raising their spears and preparing to throw them after their elder sister.
But after waiting for a few seconds, the eldest sister lowered her arm: "Put down the spear, that seems to be a person."
"Maybe it's a monster that looks like a human."
Giles reminded his eldest sister and winked at Abbey Lodge.
They bickered every day, but their tacit understanding never diminished. Abilochi nodded slightly and took a few steps forward to block the eldest sister.
"Giles, have you forgotten that you were still bedwetting when you were eight years old?" The eldest sister sneered: "I'm not confused by the weirdness. Get out of the way."
"Do you still remember that incident three years ago?" Giles asked, looking at her.
"You still dare to mention it?" The eldest sister's tone became cold, and the veins on her bronze arm holding the spear were exposed.
Giles breathed a sigh of relief, seeing their eldest sister in front of him.
"We are just worried that you will be affected by weirdness." Abiluoqi sneered and pushed away, fearing that the eldest sister would not be able to control her emotions and beat them up.
"You all can stay awake, can I?" The centipede on her face became ferocious, and the eldest sister showed an unfriendly smile.
"Of course..." Giles smiled dryly and pushed away.
The three of them approached the stranded wooden boat. Just as the eldest sister said, huddled at the bottom of the boat was a figure, wearing a windbreaker and shirt that only people in big cities have.
"His hair is black..." Giles subconsciously clenched his spear.
The eldest sister was looking at the calm and handsome face and said, "He may be a survivor. It's getting dark, we have to take him back."
Abilochi had no objection, but Giles felt something was wrong, but the outline of the man's chest exposed under his shirt was rising and falling, and he was indeed a human being.
Worried that the newly dead demon would linger on the shore, the three of them dragged the wooden boat away from Guangjing Lake, and then the eldest sister put the unconscious man on her shoulders like a cargo.
"What is this?" Abilochi picked up the gun holster that slipped from the man's waist and fell into the cobblestones.
"I know it! People in big towns call it a musket, which is more powerful than a bow." Giles shouted, teaching Abiloch to open the holster and reach out to draw out the psychic gun.
snap
The eldest sister slapped his wrist off and took the gun holster: "Don't touch other people's things."
"More powerful than a bow?"
Abiloqi touched the long bow on his back.
Helen Town is a small town with little information, and most of the young people here have never left the town.
"That's what those who came back said anyway." Giles also hesitated.
He thought the musket would be a weapon about the same size as a longbow, but it looked so small...
"Okay, the old man is still in the town waiting for us to go back." The eldest sister interrupted the discussion between the two. "Pick up my spear."
"You pick it up."
"You don't want to pick it up."
"I picked it up last time."
Abbey Lodge and Giles argued for a few more words, and finally Abbey Lodge took the elder sister's spear and walked out of the pebble beach back to the town a few miles away.
Helen Town.
Like most villages and towns in the desolate land, they are remote and poor.
However, because of Guangjing Lake, Helen Town and the surrounding villages and towns are slightly better than many inland villages and towns. Although there are not as many fish in the lake as in the sea, they are enough to supply a town with a population of only a few hundred.
Until the first death demon occupied this lake.
Helen Town began to face the dilemma of most inland villages and towns: lack of food.
They have been hanging on for a while: the first dead demons rarely appear during the day, and as long as they do not enter the center of the Mirror Lake, they usually will not be attacked.
But what happened a few hours ago made nearby residents panic, fearing that the rioting undead would cut off their last source of food.
They had no choice but to leave their hometown and head to the coast.
So when the three people who went to explore the lake came back carrying the unconscious man and said that he was a survivor found on the boat, the old mayor thought he might know something.
"Wait until he wakes up. Elena, send the survivors to Aunt Susan's house. She used to live in a big city and knows how to contact foreigners."
Elena nodded and led Abby Lodge and Giles to Aunt Susan's two-story wooden house.
"Little Elena, little Rocky and little Giles, why are you here? Put him down quickly... What is a survivor? There is an empty bedroom on the second floor."
After a while of busy work, the unconscious man was placed on the single bed, took off his shoes, socks and coat, and covered himself with a clean quilt.
"Is he hurt?"
Before covering himself with the quilt, Abilochi saw the blood stains on the man's shirt.
"It belongs to someone else, didn't you see there was a lot of blood on that boat?" Giles said with disdain.
"Of course I saw it! I was just worried that he was also injured." Abby Rocky defended loudly.
Elena frowned and rudely drove away the two people who were bickering: "Shut up and get out, both of you."
Abiloch and Giles shrank their necks and obediently went downstairs to the crowded but warm living room.
Aunt Susan is lighting the fireplace.
The two of them came together and whispered.
"Does the eldest sister like that guy?"
"Which one?"
"We rescued it."
"Don't think about it, he is not strong at all. My eldest sister only likes men who are like beasts."
"But it's not like you haven't seen his face... Compared with him, that guy named Mike is like a broken wine bottle glass dropped into a pile of dog shit."
"I agree with the second part, but eldest sister is not so superficial that she falls in love with that man just because of his appearance?"
"What does superficial mean? Forget it. Didn't you see how gentle the eldest sister was when she took off his clothes and shoes?" Abilochi felt that using such words to the eldest sister made his hair stand on end. "And I dare to say this.
This is her first time serving others."
After a brief silence, Abby Lodge asked again: "Do you think if they get together, will the child have the eldest sister's surname or that man's surname?"
"Instead of this, shouldn't they imagine their children's hair color?"
"It should be black...the eldest sister's hair is brown."
At this moment.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Lu Li woke up leisurely.
