Chapter 107 Ineffective Detour
"You want to save him?"
After seeing Qiao Yu and the other four, the snake mutant quickly switched back to human form.
She was petite with delicate features, but under the scorching sun, she was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and loose black overalls.
She looked young, perhaps eighteen or nineteen. But her brown eyes held a sense of vicissitudes and coldness that belied her age and appearance. When she spoke, her voice lacked the crispness of a young girl. Instead, it was the rough, hoarse voice of an elderly person with a damaged throat.
Qiao Yu glanced at the man who was trembling and kneeling on the ground not far away, constantly begging for help, and shook his head calmly, "We didn't mean to meddle in other people's business. We only came down to check because you were blocking the road."
When Qiao Yu and his friends met this man that night, they knew he was definitely not a good person.
Which good person would stay up late at night and try to sneak into someone else's RV?
Either he is stealing or he is trying to do something illegal.
We let him go at that time because he really didn't cause any damage, so there was no need.
There is obviously resentment between these two people now. They are not bored, so why should they care about this?
The girl's expression relaxed slightly when she heard that. "Then you can go now. I won't let this bastard block your way again." After saying that, she turned her head and continued to walk towards the man.
When the man saw that Qiao Yu and the others had no intention of saving him, a hint of despair flashed in his eyes. While the snake mutant was talking to them, he quickly got up and tried to continue running away by rolling and crawling.
But after running just two steps, the girl instantly switched to snake form and tightly wrapped her tail around him.
The girl seemed really afraid of blocking Qiao Yu and the others. After catching the man, she first moved him to the side, until she made way for the narrow path. Then she used her strong tail to lift the man high up and then dropped him heavily.
The severe beating caused the man to spurt blood on the spot. He lay on the ground twitching and unable to move.
But the girl didn't seem to intend to let him go.
She laid the man flat on the ground with his face up, raised her tail, and whipped his waist and abdomen hard again and again.
With each lash, the man howled and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blows gradually moved downward, and Qiao Yu and the others could hear the sound of bones breaking from a distance.
The girl didn't stop until she had beaten the man's entire lower body into a mess and saw that he was gradually losing his breath, and then she switched back to her human form.
Yu Qingchuan took a deep breath as he looked at the man's death.
Judging from the position of the girl's attack, he could probably guess how the man had offended the girl.
This kind of person deserves to be killed. I just didn't expect this girl to be so skilled. It seems she has done this kind of thing many times before.
The other four people didn't react much.
After all, everyone had seen Jiang Zhan skin people alive and turn them into "human scorpions", so the impact in front of them was nothing to them.
Qiao Yu and the others finished watching the excitement and were about to return to the car when they heard the girl suddenly say, "Since you didn't stop me, I'll give you a break."
"There's a village called Nanliu Village about a dozen kilometers ahead." The girl turned her head and looked at them, her eyes heavy and dead. "Don't go in."
After saying that, the girl ignored Qiao Yu and the others and just walked away.
Qiao Yu looked at the girl's back as she left and frowned slightly.
Her words successfully caught Qiao Yu's attention.
If Qiao Yu remembered correctly, the village the girl was talking about was exactly where she had chosen to stay tonight.
After the convoy set off again, Qiao Yu took the map and looked at it carefully.
It is indeed this village.
——Nanliu Village.
"I think we should take another route." Yu Qingchuan said while driving, "That girl's reminder reminded me of my warning not to enter Dama Village."
Although she killed the man very brutally in front of them, Yu Qingchuan's intuition told him that the girl was not a bad person.
"Don't worry. We always listen to advice." Qiao Yu answered loudly while looking down at the map to find the way again.
Last time in Dama Village, they had no intention of going in, so it can only be considered as a mistake.
The four years of apocalyptic life in his previous life had already made Qiao Yu develop the habit of being low-key and cautious.
Since someone says that you can't enter there, it doesn't matter whether there is danger or treasure there, the key is trust.
Listen to advice and eat your fill!
"How about we take a detour?" Cheng Sinian pointed to another path on the map. "If we take this path, we'll be back on track by the next intersection."
Luo Zhenzhen hesitated after hearing this. "But this was originally a small road. After the plants mutated, will cars still be able to pass through this road?"
"Given the density of vegetation here, the first half of this road is fine, but the second half is definitely impassable." Cheng Sinian tapped his fingers on the table. "But isn't our main goal right now to bypass Nanliu Village? If all else fails, we can just cut down the trees."
Qiao Yu touched his chin and nodded, "Let's take this path."
Although it will take more time, it is better than going there knowing there is a tiger there, right?
What no one expected was that Yu Qingchuan followed the route chosen by Qiao Yu and others and successfully entered the path, but in the afternoon, he still saw a signpost from a distance.
There were three big words clearly written on it - Nanliu Village.
"?"
Yu Qingchuan stepped on the brakes and was stunned.
What's going on? Is this a ghost wall?
Qiao Yu and the others at the back were also confused.
They actually saw Yu Qingchuan turn the car into another road, so how did he end up in Nanliu Village?
"Expansion." Just as everyone was puzzled, Jiang Zhan suddenly spoke up, waking them from their dreams, "This road is not far from Nanliu Village."
Qiao Yu widened his eyes slightly.
Even if it wasn't too far, it was still about two or three kilometers apart! Besides, there was dense forest between the two roads.
Expanding territory in the dense forest of the apocalypse is a very dangerous thing.
Generally, only in places like survivor bases where there are sufficient human and material resources, and the population reaches the land limit, will the base managers find ways to recruit people to expand the territory.
Could it be that... the original territory of Nanliu Village is completely unable to accommodate the population here...
"Something's wrong." Qiao Yu's expression was slightly stern. "Tell Lin Yingjie to reverse the car."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingchuan immediately reached for the intercom on the passenger seat.
But just as he got it in his hand, he heard Cheng Sinian say in a deep voice behind him: "It's too late."
Yu Qingchuan looked up and found that there were several men in front of the RV slowly approaching them.
Qiao Yu sighed slightly.
Forget it. If it is a blessing, it will not cause trouble. If it is a disaster, it will cause trouble.
Besides, there are only two roads in total. If you don’t take them, you will have to cross the mountain.
"Let's go." Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Let's see what's so scary about Nanliu Village."
