A rare strong wind blew in the town, and waves surged toward the island.
Some residences near the beach were submerged by the waves and then rolled into the seabed, leaving only broken wooden boards, leaving some traces on the coast...
View of the entire town from above.
A group of dark figures are moving to the east.
All of these people's faces were full of fatigue, their steps were frivolous, and their faces were quite sallow. They were obviously in a very bad mental state.
Even the big men holding guns around him were yawning.
If they could rest at this moment, they might fall over with a squeaking sound, followed by snoring...
The situation of Chen Xiaowei, who was mixed in the crowd, seemed even worse.
She is different from others.
In addition to the long journey, I also had to keep my attention tight at all times, thinking not to miss any opportunity to escape from this place.
One night has passed, and now the sky is already a little gray and bright...
The long-term intense concentration undoubtedly brought about an extremely miserable mental outlook for her.
certainly.
Lin Yuan, who was carrying a large bag on his side, was no better than her.
This journey has made Lin Yuan, whose physical strength is not very good, feel sore all over.
He is just the opposite of Chen Xiaowei who is mentally ill.
What he feels most uncomfortable about right now is the physical oppression and exhaustion of those backpacks...
His calves were trembling, and every step Lin Yuan took was extremely difficult.
He also felt a little regretful at this time, why he had to be so greedy and burdened himself with so many things.
"Xiaowei, can you bring me something... These things are too heavy. Of course, if you help me, I will give you some."
Lin Yuan gasped and said to Chen Xiaowei.
The latter didn't know what this simple-minded guy was thinking.
It seems that everyone is extremely tired. How could they think of asking her, a woman whose physical strength is not an advantage, to help...
Let’s not talk about whether Chen Xiaowei despises the things Lin Yuan brought, or whether she is physically strong enough to share some of the burden for him.
Just saying that she was planning to escape from the crowd and had to find a way to reduce her sense of existence...
These are big and small packages.
She will definitely not accept this deal that looks like a loss.
"Forget it, don't, I'm very tired, you can try to find someone else."
Chen Xiaowei refused without much thought.
Hear the words.
Lin Yuan opened his mouth to say something more, but after realizing that Chen Xiaowei did not have this intention, he turned his attention to the people around him.
Well, he remembered those beggars who asked him to give him some food and drink before...
However, after looking away, those who originally wanted something from him all avoided Lin Yuan's sight.
I think so.
People always don't care about things like dignity when they can get things without any effort.
When it comes time to put in the effort, most people will choose to give up...
They were also physically tired, so naturally they would not help Lin Yuan in the slightest.
No need to look at this, Chen Xiaowei can clearly understand what those people are thinking.
"Hey, old brother, can you help me share some things? You help me carry a part of the way, and I will give it to you...Hey, old brother?"
Lin Yuan asked the people around him unwillingly.
As expected, the answers he got were all unanimous rejections.
With some complaints in his heart, he had no choice but to tighten the straps of his backpack and carry the things he brought alone...
"Damn it, it was so easy when I asked for it before, but now I can't even ask for a favor."
Lin Yuan's curses were not concealed.
Several people around were a little angry after hearing this.
"Still scolding? It's like you gave me something when I asked for it before."
"You refused directly when you asked for help. Now that you want to help, can't I disagree?"
"What birdman..."
"..."
Everyone is not a good person.
Especially after entering the world of horror, many people forget about the so-called moral kidnapping and basically just be happy as long as they don't endanger their lives.
If there hadn't been a big manager with a gun at this time, Lin Yuan would have been beaten after he said these words...
Both parties wanted to continue scolding.
But the curses were undoubtedly very noticeable in the quiet crowd, and it didn't take long for a big man to tell them to be quiet.
Of course, this is just a reminder.
A minor quarrel was not enough to attract the attention of those big men.
Fortunately, the conflict caused by Lin Yuan did not affect Chen Xiaowei's plan.
If because of this, everyone around her was closely watched, Chen Xiaowei would curse Lin Yuan to death in her heart...
However, it is indeed a good thing that it did not attract attention.
But seeing that the sky was slowly getting brighter and there was no chance to sneak out yet, Chen Xiaowei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If it's completely bright.
Then it becomes even more difficult for her to escape...
"What should I do?"
This is what Chen Xiaowei was thinking in her mind.
She turned her head, but couldn't find a breakthrough point in the crowd.
"It's not yet dawn, and everyone's mental state is not very good. Now is the best time to leave..."
"If we delay it any longer, we may not be able to leave."
Thoughts together.
Chen Xiaowei began to deliberately slow down her pace, trying to move to the back of the crowd unconsciously.
Although there is some danger of being caught by doing this, it is still much better than running away.
But just when Chen Xiaowei was doing this, she felt her sleeve being pulled by someone. She looked up with a slightly nervous mood and found that the person holding her was Kawakiko who had been silent for a long time...
...
She, who thought something unusual had been detected, breathed a sigh of relief.
But Kawakiko held her back, which made her a little confused.
"Don't run around."
Kawakiko's voice came out.
Chen Xiaowei felt as if the other party had read through her thoughts and was preventing her from leaving.
Before she could ask, Kawakiko continued to explain.
"No matter what you do now, you will be discovered."
"Those guys are in good spirits. The fatigue they look like now is all fake. As soon as you leave, they will find out and pull the trigger on you..."
"Pretending?"
Chen Xiaowei turned her head and looked at the big men holding guns.
My eyelids are slightly sunken and I sometimes seem to be unsteady when walking. Could it be just faking it?
She didn't know why Kawakiko reminded her, but the other party also knew that there was something wrong with this evacuation operation.
Therefore, this statement should not be made up by Kawakiko at random...
Maybe Kawakiko saw something.
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
Chen Xiaowei asked Kawakiko.
Since the other party knows that there is a problem with this evacuation, unless they are mentally ill, they will not just stay in the team like this.
Kawakiko doesn't agree with this being a good time to escape, so she probably has her own plan...
Chen Xiaowei wants to hear it.
"Wait a moment."
"When they show their fox tail, there will be chaos here. Then you can take advantage of the chaos and leave."
Kawakiko said in a deep voice.
The sound of the conversation between the two was very low, only enough for the two of them to hear.
Even Lin Yuan, who was the closest, could only hear the indistinct murmurs of the two people. For those who don't know, he might even think that Chen Xiaowei and Kawakiko were chanting some spell.
"When there's chaos?"
Chen Xiaowei felt that Kawakiko might not know more than a few things.
Although the other party gave him a childish look in his behavior and thinking, he didn't panic much in this situation. Maybe he had some trump card hidden in him...
Should I believe it or not?
Chen Xiaowei was a little unsure.
She couldn't understand Kawakiko just like she couldn't understand Chino.
After all, from her personal point of view, this girl Chen Xiaowei is not familiar with her, and she has only met her in person.
Currently facing a choice between life and death, it is a very unreliable decision to leave your decision in the hands of the other party.
However, she was worried that the other party had good intentions to remind her, but in the end, because she thought too much, she always distrusted this and that, thus letting herself fall into a trap and die in this town...
If that's the case.
Then Chen Xiaowei will regret her smartness for the rest of her life.
After gritting her teeth, Chen Xiaowei lowered her voice and asked, "How did you know those guys were faking it? After walking all night, no matter how strong they are, there is no need to pretend to be tired, right?"
Yes, yes.
From Chen Xiaowei’s perspective.
This night's journey would have been unbearable. Even though the big men looked much stronger than the average person, they still wouldn't feel tired.
She wanted to ask Kawakiko why she said this, and also wanted to know if there were any details that she was too careless to notice...
To this, Kawakiko's answer is simple.
"They are not human."
"Huh?" Chen Xiaowei was a little confused by these words and inadvertently raised her voice, causing the people around her to look towards her subconsciously.
Knowing that she had done something wrong, Chen Xiaowei immediately turned her head to look at Mikagawa Noriko, and made up a topic on the spur of the moment to divert other people's attention.
"You said you accidentally lost your things on the road and now you have nothing on you?"
Kawakiko understood Chen Xiaowei's thoughts and nodded gently.
"Um."
It turns out that I lost what I was carrying...
When the people around heard the conversation between the two, they almost knew what was going on and turned their heads away.
Moreover, they inadvertently distanced themselves from Kawakiko while walking, as if they were afraid that the girl who accidentally lost this thing would ask for something from them.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaowei let out a sigh of relief.
No matter how those people reacted, as long as they didn't hear her discussing leaving with Kawakiko...
certainly.
There are also one or two people among them who still have doubtful eyes.
I don't know if it's because Chen Xiaowei's acting skills are not up to par or for some other reason, but they obviously don't want to believe this statement.
It seemed that he didn't pay much attention, but his attention was actually drawn towards the two of them.
Overall.
Anyway, it’s impossible for Noriko Asakawa to continue asking questions...
As for what Kawakiko said just now, Chen Xiaowei could only keep her doubts about the sentence "They are not human" in her heart.
"Wait a moment."
"When they show their fox tail, there will be chaos here. Then you can take advantage of the chaos and leave."
