Chapter 85
The two siblings were whispering to each other, thinking that they were speaking quietly, but they didn't know that the scale viper could hear everything they talked about.
"Although he is young, he is quite cunning."
The scale viper snorted, not wanting to get angry with the cub: "But the blue pearl they mentioned seems to be a good thing for humans. You can keep it."
Wen Xin smiled noncommittally, turned around and used an axe to split the wood into two long pieces, and threw them into the fire: "Compared to the so-called blue pearl, I am more interested in the sea god they are talking about."
"God?" The Scaled Tree Viper was a little nonchalant. "According to your understanding, humans can pretend to be gods, and gods can also be mutants in disguise."
The green ball, who doesn't like to interact with humans, can actually point out the problem accurately.
Wen Xin was quite surprised and immediately praised it.
The scale viper twitched the tip of its tail proudly.
"I think the same as you do. The sea god those two kids are talking about is most likely a mutant infected by a marine creature. I've watched a natural science program on TV before, and it's said that marine creatures have a unique way of connecting with each other."
Wen Xin said: "Azi's whereabouts are erratic, but maybe we can find Lanlan through this sea god."
After saying that, he cooled the barbecue and gave it to Grape Tuanzi who was waiting eagerly beside him.
He picked up two bowls of meat soup and came to the car window.
"Drink something hot to warm your stomach."
The two siblings turned around and met the young man's gentle and peaceful face. They were stunned for a moment and then hurriedly took it.
When they raised their heads again, Wen Xin had returned to the campfire.
Without investigating their background or identity, or exploring their psychological emotions, people inexplicably feel at ease.
After eating and drinking, the group set off again, heading for Mermaid Bay on the west coast of the South China Sea.
Geographically, the air in the south is not as dry as in the north, and is much more humid.
Wen Xin saw many plants growing particularly lushly along the way, and the scene was full of spring.
At the same time, he also saw large tracts of cultivated fields.
This is understandable. Now that industry has come to a standstill, human civilization has helplessly and inevitably entered a period of rapid regression.
In order to survive, even young ladies and masters who have never done housework must learn to roll up their pants and go to the fields to plow, sow seeds, water and fertilize without the help of machines.
That is the safest way to maintain a long-term source of food.
But the strange thing is that the fields in front of me are deserted and no one knows where everyone has gone.
Wen Xin's gaze turned and paused slightly.
A hoe lay overturned in the field, and several disorderly shoe prints were reflected on the newly plowed soil.
Having a bad feeling in his heart, Wen Xin became alert and continued driving forward.
Along the way, people saw a lot of daily necessities dropped on the ground, with pots, bowls, pans and bowls scattered all over the floor.
Wen Xin almost instantly imagined the scene at that time.
The people here encountered an accident and had to evacuate quickly. Because the scene was urgent and chaotic, they didn't even have time to pick up things that had fallen.
What will happen to them?
The two children in the back seat were obviously a little uneasy. Wen Xin calmed himself down, slowed down the car, and prepared to turn around at any time.
They drove along the road ahead and entered a wider road.
The road was built temporarily, and there was no time to tamp the earth and lay cement on it. The bushes and trees were just hastily cleared away.
Wen Xin's attention was instantly attracted by the traces on the ground.
The dirt road was mixed with sewage and mud everywhere, so it was easy to leave marks. The marks were wide and long, with traces of tread in the middle.
Wen Xin got out of the car to check and recognized that they were track prints. Judging from the degree of depression in the tracks, they were at least from heavy tanks!
Therefore, the people here did not suddenly encounter danger, but were temporarily expelled by someone.
Looking again at the direction the tank was heading in, it strangely coincided with the location of home the two siblings had mentioned.
The two siblings seemed to sense something was wrong and got out of the car and looked at him timidly: "Big brother, what happened?"
Wen Xin glanced at them, hiding the worry in his eyes, and said crisply, "Get in the car first."
The road was deliberately opened up and there were no obstacles.
The smoother the car drove, the stronger the bad premonition in Wen Xin's heart became, as if iron spikes were piercing his nerves again and again.
Suddenly, the two balls lying on the passenger seat stood up alertly.
"Wen Xin, there was a gunshot."
.
People in the southern region know that there is a small fishing village called Leshui near the coast of Mermaid Bay.
Although the village is small, because it is protected by the "Sea God", the villagers here will not encounter storms when fishing like other fishermen.
From then on, life became peaceful and harmonious, and Leshui Village became a rare paradise in the end times.
But today, this beautiful paradise was broken.
When Wen Xin and others arrived near Leshui Village, they saw a cloud of smoke rising from the burning village and sweeping towards the sky.
When the two siblings saw this scene, the younger sister was still confused and had not recovered, but the older brother seemed to have understood something. He immediately rushed to the car window, muttering hysterically: "No, how could it be?!"
The boy's movements began to tremble, and he shook the handlebars vigorously: "Open the door, I want to get off, open the door!"
Wen Xin noticed the large number of armored vehicles parked outside the village. If he continued to drive past, there would be a risk of being discovered.
He stopped the car and held down the unstable boy in the back seat.
But the thin boy somehow got the strength to leap over and press the door switch.
Seeing the boy open the car door and rush out, Wen Xin also hurriedly got out of the car, grabbed the boy's arm in two steps, and whispered, "Calm down!"
Before they finished speaking, they heard another gunshot, sharp and clear.
Within the sight of the two men, an adult man who was being held captive suddenly fell to the ground. His body seemed to twitch twice, and then stopped moving.
The boy looked at it and his eyes widened.
Before he could scream, Wen Xin quickly covered the boy's mouth.
My sister's bewildered voice came over: "Dad, Dad...?"
They were on a small hill behind them, and Wen Xin intentionally stopped in this hidden and covered location.
The height difference widened the viewing angle. The people below became very small, and their faces were blurry. Only their general outlines could be vaguely seen.
But the girl could tell at a glance that the dead man was her father.
Wen Xin's heart shuddered violently, and at the same time he heard an extremely suppressed groaning sound coming from under his palm, and something warm liquid flowed onto his skin.
The boy grabbed his arms and continued to struggle, kicking his legs hard.
In an instant, Wen Xin's heart felt like it was hit by something sharp, and it hurt so much.
The death of the two siblings' father was not the end. The person who fired the gun obviously wanted to shock the old man who was being held in the front through this action.
The old man went crazy, unable to break free from the people holding him, and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Beasts! You bunch of beasts!"
The leader of the militants who opened fire slapped him hard in the face.
My sister trembled and screamed, "Grandpa!"
Wen Xin could no longer hold the boy in her arms, so she had to knock him out first. She then used the same method to stop the girl who was about to rush down the hillside.
He quickly put the two terrified children back into the back seat, returned to his original observation position, and looked down with a frown.
Two groups came to him.
Scaled Viper looked at the large group of armed elements and sighed, "Does it take such a big fight to kill someone?"
Wen Xin's mind raced: "With so many people and so many weapons, it's impossible to just attack a small fishing village."
"What do you think they want to do?"
What do they want to do...
Wen Xin tried hard to recall, and almost immediately thought of the word the two siblings had mentioned, Poseidon.
He said in a deep voice: "I never thought of it before. As early as when I was in the training camp, the instructor told me that the South China Sea is the territory of the S-level mutant blue whale."
"If I'm guessing correctly, the sea god this village serves is the S-rank blue whale."
Upon hearing this, both of them had a look of realization on their faces.
Then, that sudden realization turned into an indescribable disgust and hatred.
The Scaled Tree Viper and the Blue Whale have no friendship, and neither do the Pandas. They simply hate the human behavior of attacking mutants.
Scales Viper glanced at the armored vehicles, and the more he looked, the more strange it seemed. He couldn't help but say in surprise, "But this level of firepower is totally insufficient to break through the S-class defenses."
In fact, without the First Foundation, the S-Class Mutants could almost be considered true god-like beings.
As luck would have it, Scaled Viper unhappily recalled the time when he was about to break through to his perfect form.
Humans know that artillery fire is useless against it, yet they still bother to harass it.
And it almost happened at the last moment...
etc!
The scale viper's pupils shrank.
How similar is this scene to the methods used by those armies against it back then?
It quickly searched downwards and aimed at a clearly different military carrier, with cylindrical shells covered under the canvas.
The scale viper suddenly became a little anxious, because it knew that those shells would really have an impact on the evolution of the mutants.
Once the blue whale becomes mentally disturbed and starts to go crazy, this area will definitely be swallowed up by the tsunami!
Do those reckless humans know this?
The scale viper looked at Wen Xin, wanting to pull him away quickly.
A tsunami would not kill it and the panda for the time being, but humans cannot breathe in the sea water.
Just by being touched by the young man's sharp eyes, the Scaled Viper suddenly woke up and took back the words on his lips.
When the First Base came to harass it, it dispersed its subordinates. Now how could it explain to Wen Xin that it knew the effect of those gas bombs when it was "not there"?
Those who attacked Leshui Village seemed to be getting a little impatient.
The leader made a gesture, and the muzzle of the tank behind him moved, emitting fierce flames.
Old man: “No!!”
The fishing village was bombarded with artillery fire.
The fishermen who were trapped in the village and had no time to retreat were engulfed in flames in an instant.
Amid the old man's heart-wrenching wails, the calm sea surface began to surge like boiling water.
A distant and ethereal cry came from the deep sea, turning into a tangible sound wave, instantly sweeping away the artillery fire that had not yet landed above the village!
