Chapter 49 Entering the Village
The convoy stopped about two kilometers away from Guojia Village.
The distance was a bit far, and Jiang Zhan couldn't find out the situation in the village.
But considering that Guojia Village was a large village with hundreds of households before the end of the world, there must be many alien species in it, and the number of alien species following them is also more than before.
Jiang Zhan was worried that if he continued to move forward he would be attacked from both sides, so he asked Cheng Sinian to tell Lin Yingjie to stop the car and go down to clean up first.
When Cheng Sinian and Lin Yingjie stopped the car, the screams of the three women were still being heard.
The three women saw that the two cars in front had stopped, but there were still aliens chasing them from behind, so they instinctively bypassed the RV and the truck and continued driving forward.
Cheng Sinian was extremely annoyed and went downstairs carrying his gun and Tang sword.
Ever since she started killing alien species with a knife, Luo Zhenzhen would never miss any precious combat opportunity, so she followed with a Tang sword in her arms.
As Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu slowly got out of the car, the van just passed them. Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen had already led the three aliens from the Lin family to meet the aliens.
Only after seeing that all the aliens behind the car were attracted to Cheng Sinian and his companions did Fang Lin stop the car with trembling hands.
Qiao Yu looked through the car window at them sitting there gasping for breath and curled her lips.
I have some brains, but I'm a little timid. It's been so long since the end of the world, and I'm still scared by aliens.
However, Qiao Yu also understood at this time why they were sad about Zhao Sheng's death.
No matter what the reason was, it is undeniable that Zhao Sheng did protect them very well.
This time, the number of mutants was indeed quite large. Fortunately, the place Cheng Sinian chose to park was at a fork in the road, with mutant trees on both sides. The thick, giant trunks were crowded together due to lack of space, which was just enough to temporarily block some of the mutants.
They just need to guard the intersection.
After everyone dealt with all the alien species that followed them, they began to dig out the crystal cores in the back of the aliens' heads one by one in an orderly manner.
Lin Yingjie and the others were initially curious about what Qiao Yu and the others wanted these strange stones for. They privately asked Cheng Sinian several times and even tried to ask Luo Zhenzhen indirectly.
But one of them just said he didn't know, and the other simply didn't respond. In short, their attitude was the same - keep silent.
So Lin Yingjie and the others simply stopped asking, but every time they killed an alien species, they also started digging for crystal cores.
Although I don’t know what specific uses it has yet, I’ll just take it and see. Maybe I’ll find out one day!
The first time Lin Yingjie dug for crystal cores, he secretly glanced at Cheng Sinian's face. Seeing that Cheng Sinian only glanced at him casually and didn't intend to stop him, he continued digging with peace of mind. However, Lin Yingjie also knew his limits. Cheng Sinian and his team killed most of the alien species, so every time he dug for crystal cores, he would estimate the number based on the general number and only take 20% at most.
"Brother, what are you digging?" Wei Sisi walked to Deng Minglang, half squatted down, and asked in a low voice.
She had just asked Cheng Sinian the same question, but after asking twice, Cheng Sinian didn't even turn his head, completely ignoring her. Wei Sisi was turned away, so she scanned the area and ultimately chose Deng Minglang.
Deng Minglang raised his eyelids and said, "Digging stones."
Stone? How could there be stone in the alien's head?
Wei Sisi originally suspected that Deng Minglang was teasing her, but the next second she saw Deng Minglang using a knife to pick out a milky white crystal from the brain of an alien.
...I'm really digging stones.
Wei Sisi didn't know what the stone was for, but seeing that they were all digging and there was an unused knife on the ground, she winked at Fang Lin and Pan Yu who were waiting for her not far away, then moved closer and said enthusiastically, "Why don't we come and help?"
As he said this, he reached out to pick up the knife on the ground.
But before she could touch the knife, Lin Yingjie took it away.
Lin Yingjie held a knife in one hand and stabbed the back of the alien's head with both hands at the same time. His face was a little cold, "There is no knife left. I won't bother you with such a small matter. We can do it ourselves."
He's nowhere to be seen during a fight, but he shows up when the spoils are collected. Is he looking at everyone else like a fool?
The three of them were embarrassed by Lin Yingjie's obvious rejection and didn't dare to approach him. They just stood by for a while and then went back.
After Wei Sisi and the others left, Lin Yingjie approached Deng Minglang and warned him in a low voice, "Behave yourself, kid. We're all in a very difficult situation right now. Don't tell anyone off."
Deng Minglang was stunned by what he said, "I didn't, brother-in-law..."
I swear to God, he just took up the conversation and did nothing!
Lin Yingjie snorted lightly, "It's best if you don't. If I find out that you did something secretly... just wait for your sister to punish you."
“…” Minglang felt aggrieved, but he didn’t say anything.
When everyone returned to the car, Luo Zhenzhen, like a cat that had stolen some fish, excitedly told Qiao Yu what had just happened.
Luo Zhenzhen may have become more familiar with them recently, and has gradually begun to show some of her little girlish charm.
Although he still doesn't talk much, he will share with Qiao Yu any interesting things he encounters or sees new things.
Qiao Yu also enjoyed it. After all, she hadn't chatted with girls her age for a long time, and she really missed it.
Cheng Sinian listened to Luo Zhenzhen's almost word-for-word retelling in silence.
Just now, I saw Luo Zhenzhen with a serious face and thought she was seriously digging for crystal cores. It turns out she was eavesdropping.
Sure enough, girls can't resist the temptation of gossip.
--
Guojia Village is built at the foot of a mountain. The surrounding vegetation coverage rate is very high. Now it is almost completely blocked by mutated plants and cannot be seen at all from the road outside.
Cheng Sinian followed the route map given by Qiao Yu and finally found the entrance to the village after guessing and making many turns. However, he found that the entrance was blocked by two mutant trees, leaving only a small path that was only wide enough for one person to pass sideways.
"The car can't drive through. What should we do? Should we walk in? Or cut down trees?" Cheng Sinian turned his head and asked Qiao Yu.
It's a little after two in the afternoon now, and it will be foggy in about two hours.
Jiang Zhan had just explored the area and found no danger for the time being. He would have to stay here tonight anyway, so it was not impossible to chop down trees. It would just take a little more time.
"Get out of the car."
Qiao Yu thought about it and decided to walk. There was no need to go to the trouble of chopping down trees.
When getting off the car, Qiao Yu called Lin Yingjie down with the intercom.
"Lao Lin, we need to go into the village. But as you can see, cars definitely can't drive in, so we're going to walk."
Qiao Yu pointed to the narrow passage and said, "We don't know what's going on inside yet, so don't follow us in. This area should be safe, so you can rest here tonight. Don't worry, we'll be out by tomorrow morning at the latest, and we won't be late on our journey."
Lin Yingjie originally wanted to suggest that they go in together, but thinking that there were still a lot of supplies in the car and there were three women outside who had unknown intentions, he agreed to Qiao Yu's suggestion.
