Jiang Chan transmigrated from the apocalypse into a melodramatic novel filled with continuous natural disasters: drought, floods, locust plagues, epidemics... and even interwoven with various stran...
Houses, roads, and open spaces appeared as gray-white outlines under the night sky.
As the detector flew past the corner of a house, a heat source signal suddenly appeared in the image.
Jiang Chan's eyes narrowed sharply!
In the shadows of that corner, a person stood motionless, like a stone statue.
What he held in his hand was... a woodcutter's knife!
The detector's field of view moves rapidly.
Not far away, in the shadows of another corner, there was yet another figure!
He leaned there casually, but what he held in his hand... was a long-handled axe with a blade that had been sharpened to a gleaming shine!
Keep going!
There was another person standing at the corner of a house!
He seemed to be holding something in his hands... a long, stick-like thing?
No!
That was clearly a spear with a sharpened tip and an iron spearhead!
The detector rapidly swept across the central area of the village, the vicinity of the village entrance, and even not far from the side room where they lived in Liushutun... one by one, the hidden figures were clearly captured!
These people were all silently lurking in various key locations throughout the village!
They are definitely not ordinary villagers!
Ordinary villagers wouldn't be carrying weapons and lurking like ghosts on guard in the dead of night!
What they held in their hands were gleaming machetes! Heavy axes! Deadly spears! Definitely not farm tools! Nor clubs for self-defense against wolves!
Protect yourself from wolves? Aren't those high walls and spikes enough?
These weapons, these eyes hidden in the shadows, are not meant to protect against the beasts outside the walls!
What they are guarding against is the "thing" inside the wall! Or rather... the "people" inside the wall!
Who are we guarding against?
Who would we need to be so heavily armed and lurking in the shadows as if facing a formidable enemy?
Who should we guard against who needs to carry a deadly weapon?
A terrifying thought, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around Jiang Chan's heart!
She felt like all the blood in her body was freezing!
This village of Wengjia, which seems like a sanctuary... what truth lies hidden behind these warm smiles and the lie of "protection by the mountain god"?
The red number in the lower right corner of the detector was flashing, and suddenly jumped to: 19%!
