Riding his horse on the road of the small town, Adil's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked sideways at the people gathered around him.
Although the people around them looked the same as usual, without exception, they all had a strange aura about them, but they were deeply hidden and not easily discovered.
During the chip test, except for the little girl named Bonnie, the physical fitness of the rest of the villagers was not normal. Even the elderly who looked old were actually in poor physical condition.
Some elite warriors.
In addition to these, Adil also found some other strange things on the surface.
Located in a dangerous area, this town is not that big, but there are at least dozens of people coming out of this town. Counting those residents who have not yet appeared, it is estimated that there are hundreds of people.
Among these dozens of people, there were men, women, and old people, but the only ones who did not have children were even the youngest ones, like Bonnie, who were already in their teens.
Of course, strictly speaking, this phenomenon is not too strange. After all, it is not easy to ensure your own safety when living in a dangerous zone. Children's survival ability is too weak, so it is not too strange to die in an accident.
Around Adier, Sidm and others didn't think so much.
Seeing that the number of people around them gradually increased, their vigilance gradually dropped, and they felt a little warm to the lively crowd around them.
As long as they didn't notice, among the people watching around them, some people had a faint green light flashing in their eyes.
These people stood at the edge of the corner, looking at Adil and the others intently, with a strange look in their eyes, as if they were looking at dead people.
After a while, the rain outside started to fall, and a little bit of raindrops wet the ground.
"This rain will last for a long time."
In the spacious living room, looking at the rain falling continuously outside, Adil spoke.
"yes."
On the side, Blue walked up to everyone and said to them: "According to my experience, this rain should last for at least two days, and you may have to stay here for a while."
"Sorry to disturb you." Adil turned around and said.
"It's okay." Blue waved his hand: "We haven't had guests here for a long time, and you are also paid, so naturally you can't be considered an intrusion."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin figure walked slowly from the side.
It was a little girl about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a tattered red cloth robe. She had a little baby face and looked very cute.
"Amy, is the room ready?"
Looking at the little girl, Blue showed a kind smile on his wrinkled face and asked her.
Seeing the smile on Blue's face, under his gaze, the little girl looked dull and didn't speak, just nodded lightly.
"What a cute kid." A voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Lati stepped forward with a gentle smile on her face: "Kid, how old are you this year?"
Listening to Letty's inquiry, the little girl named Amy also had a smile on her face, but she didn't say anything.
"Sorry, Amy can't speak."
Looking at Lettie, Blue walked up to Amy and touched her head: "This child was born unable to speak. He is already ten years old this year and there is no sign of improvement."
When he spoke, his face was kind, with a trace of regret on his face.
Hearing this, Lati was stunned for a moment: "What a pity... what a good child."
On the side, Adil's eyes were also fixed on Amy.
"The tongue tissue is missing and the vocal cords are abnormally damaged. The possibility is 97.4% man-made..." In my mind, the sound of the chip machine sounded again.
"This child is your granddaughter?"
Standing there, Adier suddenly interjected.
Opposite him, Blu was stunned for a moment when he heard Adil's question, and then he realized: "Yes, she is my favorite granddaughter, just like Bonnie."
"What's wrong?" He looked at Adil with some confusion.
"No, it's okay." Adeer said with a smile on his face: "Since the room is ready, please take us there to have a look."
Listening to this, Blue nodded: "Please come with me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the distance with Adil and others.
After a while, they walked to one side of the room.
"Sorry, because no guests have come for a long time, I only have three rooms left."
Walking here, Blue turned to look at Adil and the others: "How are the adults going to arrange this?"
"Sir, why don't you and Letty each share a room, and I share a room with the others?"
Listening to Blue's words in front of him, while standing there, Sidm stood up and suggested.
Adil is a lord, so it is naturally impossible for him to share a room with his subordinates. However, Lati is a woman, and is also a student of the lord Adil, so it is naturally inappropriate to be crowded with other guards.
Looking around, Adil shook his head: "The room here is not too big. The space for a dozen of you squeezed together is too small."
"Lady and I will share a room, and you will live in the remaining two rooms."
He looked at the people in front of him and said without changing his expression.
As soon as these words came out, Lati's face suddenly turned red next to Adil.
She lowered her head and secretly glanced at Adier in front of her, but in the end she didn't say anything.
On the same spot, the eyes of the others were a little more enlightened, and they instinctively looked at Lati.
Standing next to Adil, Lati was wearing a black robe, covering her whole body. Although her appearance was very ordinary, she was also a little delicate. At this time, she lowered her head with a rosy face, and she looked a bit moving.
Feeling the gazes from around her, Lati's face couldn't help but turn redder, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, but didn't say anything.
Seeing her like this, everyone present suddenly showed a knowing smile.
After a while, they quickly walked to their respective rooms.
The three rooms are separate, each at a certain distance from each other.
Except for the room where Adier was located, there were at least six or seven people living in each of the other two rooms.
After assigning a room, Adil walked under the eaves and quietly watched the rain outside.
While walking on the road, he suddenly looked in the direction to the side.
There, Brun's old figure gradually emerged.
"It's getting late, sir, aren't you ready to rest?"
Walking on the road, looking at Adil, Blue's face was obviously surprised.
"It's not too late now, so take advantage of the moment and come out to see the scenery here."
Looking at Blue, Adil said casually: "This town is much better than I imagined."
"well···"
Walking to Adier's side and listening to Adier's words, Blue sighed: "A lot of things happened in this town back then, and almost everyone in the town died."
"Can you tell me about it?"
After listening to his words, Adil turned around and said.
"There's nothing to say." Blue said with a smile: "About three or four years ago, this area entered an outbreak period, and our town was also affected, and many people died."
"I don't know what happened later, but those weird things suddenly disappeared, which allowed us people to survive and not all die."
Standing there, Blue looked sighing: "Due to a strange outbreak, the mutated monsters around the town also disappeared, leaving the town intact."
"That's not bad."
On the same spot, Adier's expression remained unchanged, and he said quietly: "Being able to live peacefully in this place is enough to be envied by people in other places."
"yes."
As if he remembered something, Blue nodded in agreement, and then said: "Although the neighborhood is relatively safe, it's best not to go out at night."
"After all, the surrounding area has been affected by strange things. At night, some strange things may happen."
"I understand." Adier's expression remained unchanged and he just nodded.
After a while, when the rain outside became heavier, he turned and walked towards the room where he was.
His eyes gradually turned green, and he was looking closely at Adil's back, as if he was thinking about something.
Returning to the previous room, Lati was tidying up the room, neatly laying out the sheets on the table on the wooden bed.
"Lord Adier."
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, she turned to look at Adil, her face blushing.
"Sydem and the others have been here?"
Adil asked after walking into the room and looking around.
On the wooden table, there was some bacon and dry food. I had not seen them in the room before. They must have been brought just now.
"Sydem brought these over."
Looking at Adil, Lati lowered her head and said: "Sidem and the others thought it was safer to use their own things, so they refused the food brought by the residents here and brought some dry food from the ceremony themselves."
"He has done a lot." Adil nodded with a smile on his face.
When traveling, this kind of caution is indeed worthy of recognition.
After a while, the sky outside slowly became dark.
Looking at the sky outside and Adil in front of her, Lati bit her lip gently: "Sir...it's getting late now, let's rest first."
After listening to her words, Adil turned and looked at Lati, a little surprised.
As a human being for three generations, although he spends most of his time alone, he is not an idiot either.
The meaning of Lati in front of me is very clear, as long as an ordinary person can understand it.
In this regard, Adil himself had no intention of rejecting it.
In this regard, he has nothing to shy away from. The reason why he has always refused in the past is just because he doesn't want to waste time on irrelevant people.
