Hearing what he said was so serious, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
Nodding, He Qihan was about to explain when he saw two young guys passing by with buckets in a hurry, so he said: "Let's talk about this later! You just killed this monster, go and take a rest first.
I'll tell you more after we put out the fire."
After that, he waved his hand to him and quickly joined the villagers in putting out the fire.
Looking at the yelling villagers running around to put out the fire, Lin Cheng sighed, then brought a Coke and joined the fire-fighting team.
…
Two hours later.
The fire that ravaged the village was finally put out by the villagers, but almost half of the village was burned down. A row of charred corpses were placed in the small square in the center of the village. The surviving villagers around them had sad faces, and there were several dead people.
Some relatives even cried to the ground due to excessive grief.
Lin Cheng leaned against the wall in a corner, smoking silently, watching He Qihan, who was already exhausted, cheering up and standing among the villagers to say some comforting words. A six-year-old boy was holding his breath.
She hugged his thigh tightly, looking gray and frightened.
"This is the end of the matter. Those of us who survived by chance still have to work hard to survive. Xiaoshanzi, take a few people with you and bury them..."
After Mou Shan and a few people carried away the dead for burial, He Qihan coughed, suddenly pointed at Lin City, and said to everyone: "We can survive today, and the village has not been destroyed. It is all thanks to this young man."
! We had some conflicts with him in the mountains and forests before, but this matter has passed, so we won’t mention it anymore! He is going to stay overnight in our village tonight. I hope everyone can treat him well and don’t cause trouble!"
As he said that, he rolled his eyes and glanced at the pretty boy who had previously attacked Lin Cheng with his abilities in the forest. "As for how powerful he is, you all know it without me telling you. I hope you can take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he nodded to Lin Cheng, handed his little grandson to a villager to take care of, and motioned for him to follow him.
Seeing He Qihan nodding towards him, Lin Cheng dropped his cigarette butt and followed him into an alley without looking at the villagers in the square.
"Since the end of the world, our village has been attacked by many zombies and predators! Fortunately, I, an old man, awakened the ability to control objects early, and later several young men also awakened the ability one after another, so that I can barely protect everyone.
…”
Walking in the alley, He Qihan led the way and chatted with Lin Cheng.
"After fighting those monsters for a long time, everyone will be more or less infected with murderous intent, and their character will be affected. That's why the disagreement happened in the forest before..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng waved his hand and interrupted him, "I won't mention what happened before! You'd better hurry up and tell me what's weird in this Phoenix Mountain."
Seeing that Lin Cheng obviously didn't take the previous conflict seriously, He Qihan's tense nerves finally relaxed and he smiled and said: "No rush, I'll take you to your place to settle down first."
Then he stopped talking nonsense and took Lin Cheng for a few more minutes to wander through the twists and turns of the alleys. Finally, he came to a stop in front of a red brick house that was obviously much more luxurious than other houses.
Pointing to the three-story building inside the wall, He Qihan introduced: "This is the house of the richest man in our Fenghuang Village. After the end of the world, his whole family... so it will be empty. I just asked someone to lay out the bedding for you.
You can check in directly.”
With that said, he gently opened the door and led Lin Cheng through the yard in front of the house and into the empty living room.
"Well... since no one lives here anymore, some of the household furnishings have been moved away by those young people. However, there is still some furniture in the bedroom on the second floor, which should be enough for you..."
Seeing Lin Cheng glance at the living room expressionlessly, He Qihan explained with an embarrassed look.
"Okay, okay, as long as there is a bed for me to sleep on, let's get down to business!"
Seeing that He Qihan was a little embarrassed, Lin Cheng waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, He Qihan stopped talking nonsense and took Lin Cheng up to the bedroom on the second floor. The two of them sat on the wicker chairs in the bedroom and each lit a cigarette.
"Our Fenghuang Village is a village of the Yao people. It has a history of more than 800 years since ancient times! Now, there are actually many Han people. For example, the former owner of this house was..."
"Since our village is the only one in the entire Phoenix Mountain and the population is very sparse, we didn't even know it when the apocalypse first came! But since the first monster appeared in the village and killed several villagers, our village has
Only then did I realize that the world seemed to have undergone some great changes!"
As he said that, He Qihan took a deep drag on his cigarette, with anxiety on his face, "Ever since the monster hurt people, the villagers have been very panicked. We even tried to move the whole village away! But when we just left the village and entered
Deep in the mountains, we were caught off guard by the monsters that suddenly emerged from the holes in the ground. The casualties were extremely heavy! We had no choice but to retreat in the end..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng was a little confused: "Since you haven't left the mountain since the end of the world, how do you know that the highway below is blocked?"
Hearing this, He Qihan sighed and said: "Because you are not the first person who wants to cross Phoenix Mountain! We have encountered several groups before who were also blocked and had no choice but to cross the mountain, but they
Relying on the large number of people, they didn’t take my dissuasion seriously at all, and in the end they all died in the deep mountains and old forests!”
Hearing He Qihan's explanation, Lin Cheng nodded clearly, but heard him continue: "Since we retreated back to the village, we immediately explored the surrounding area, and finally found that there was only one cave around the village! This discovery made
We were so excited that we immediately arranged for the children in the village to take turns guarding the area and monitor it day and night!"
"I don't let you enter the forest at night because when we were attacked before, we found that there were a lot of caves in the forest! And those monsters came out of the caves. No matter how powerful you are, if you are surrounded by dense monsters, you may not be able to do anything.
Feeling good?"
After hearing this, Lin Cheng understood why He Qihan wanted to dissuade him, and then smiled and said: "I know, thank you very much for reminding me! I..."
Just as he was talking, he was interrupted by He Qihan, "It's me who should say thank you! Although I don't know why you are interested in that fire-breathing monster, it is undeniable that you did save us all.
Young and old in the village! For this alone, I cannot thank you enough, and how can these worthless news offset your kindness?"
Seeing that the old man was about to get angry with him, Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Okay... let's not talk about it anymore, by the way! Why are your arrows so powerful? I have tried it before, and that black bear is completely invulnerable.
!”
Hearing this, He Qihan smiled and said: "That's all because of Ning Le. Oh, by the way, it's the credit of the guy you beat up! His ability is sharpness, which can be attached to weapons and is very penetrating!"
Lin Cheng nodded, and then he realized why the arrow could almost cut his hand.
"I understand, by the way, you are probably very tired yourself, right? Go back and rest quickly, and don't worry about me."
Seeing that Lin Cheng was suddenly about to see off the guests, He Qihan also knew that he was actually considerate of him. He nodded, stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb you. I'll have someone bring you some food later."
, you have a good night’s rest and we’ll talk about everything at dawn tomorrow!”
After that, he waved to Lin Cheng and went downstairs with trembling steps.
