Chapter 64 Someone coming
"I'm fine here."
"I've put them all away too!"
Flames appeared under Cheng Sinian's feet, and he jumped directly from the highest point of the scaffolding.
Luo Zhenzhen also stepped on lightning and ran back from a distance in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Sinian looked at the rare excitement on Luo Zhenzhen's face, chuckled, and asked softly in a low voice, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah!" Luo Zhenzhen nodded, placed her hands on the scaffolding, and stared closely at the darkness in the distance, but her eyes were full of anticipation.
Cheng Sinian stretched out his hand into the void, "3...2...1!"
As Cheng Sinian uttered the last number, suddenly, as if some mechanism had been activated in the distance, clusters of fires were lit from near to far, until they illuminated the entire granary.
When the farthest wood was also ignited, Cheng Sinian used the light and the fireballs to blow open the ventilation windows on the walls on both sides of the granary one by one.
The crows circling outside the granary suddenly poured in like a black flood.
It screamed and pounced towards the four people.
Lin Chi and Lin Han were still unconscious. They were helped to sit on the ground, with their backs against the granary door.
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen stood in front of them. In front of them were two giant scaffoldings that Cheng Sinian had forged together with flames.
The scaffolding was welded together in an orderly manner by Cheng Sinian, and it looked like a thick iron net, trapping the four people firmly underneath.
"Caw, cackle..." The rushing crows were blocked by the scaffolding, and they howled miserably through the "iron net".
The scaffolding was squeezed and pecked by more and more crows, making sharp scraping sounds. The outermost circle of iron rods also began to deform.
Seeing this, Luo Zhenzhen's eyes were filled with eagerness to try, and a flash of lightning flashed in her hand, instantly spreading throughout the entire scaffolding.
At this time, the scaffolding has obviously become an electric fence.
Large numbers of crows were electrocuted and fell to the ground in large numbers. The scaffolding was soon filled with the corpses of mutant crows.
But the impact continued.
Cheng Sinian stared at the ventilation windows in the distance without blinking, until he saw that the number of crows entering the granary through those windows was decreasing. Then Cheng Sinian turned around and quickly opened the granary door.
There were indeed not many crows outside the granary.
Cheng Sinian burned the remaining crows, then dragged Lin Chi with one hand and Lin Han with the other, quickly took them out of the warehouse and stuffed them into the car.
Cheng Sinian got into the driver's seat, started the car, and shouted to Luo Zhenzhen, who was still in the warehouse: "Zhenzhen! Let's go!"
When Luo Zhenzhen heard this, her feet flashed like lightning and she rushed into the car in a few steps.
Cheng Sinian immediately stepped on the accelerator and quickly jumped out before the crows could react.
Then the two of them clenched their palms at the same time, and heard three huge explosions of "bang-bang-bang" behind them.
The blast sent the car flying.
Cheng Sinian tried hard to steady the car, causing it to fall heavily back to the ground.
When I looked back, all that was left were scattered pieces of iron and the charred remains of crows on the ground.
"Is it fun?" Cheng Sinian glanced at Luo Zhenzhen, who was still excited.
The little girl looked well-behaved and quiet, but unexpectedly she was quite happy during the explosion.
"Fun!" Luo Zhenzhen giggled and nodded repeatedly. "Those crows were so annoying. Now I can finally vent my anger."
This was the most exciting and satisfying thing she had ever done in the first nineteen years of her life.
Seeing her happy smile, Cheng Sinian felt a surge of joy in his heart. He was about to take advantage of the good atmosphere to say something, but suddenly saw seven or eight men holding sticks or shovels blocking the road.
Three of them were holding guns.
Cheng Sinian didn't want to argue any further and was about to shift gears and reverse the car, but he found three men with guns standing behind him.
"Looks like we won't be able to get back in time." Cheng Sinian stopped the car, narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly took his hands off the steering wheel. He took out the crystal core from the space and stuffed it into Luo Zhenzhen's pocket, whispering, "You absorb the crystal core in the car first. I'll go down and check on the situation."
Luo Zhenzhen took the crystal core, but grabbed Cheng Sinian's hand as he was about to leave, a trace of worry in her eyes, "Be careful."
Cheng Sinian was startled, turned around to look at Luo Zhenzhen's worried face, and then looked at her holding his hand tightly.
Cheng Sinian curled his lips into a smile, then took her hand in his palm and rubbed it twice, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Luo Zhenzhen looked at Cheng Sinian's back as he got out of the car, pursed her lips, withdrew her hand with her ears red, and began to absorb the crystal core silently.
When Cheng Sinian got off the car, he raised his hands slightly to show that he had nothing in his hands.
But the other party still stared at him very vigilantly.
"Everyone, we're just passing by." Cheng Sinian stood by the car door. Seeing that the other party was just staring at him without saying anything, he spoke first, his tone somewhat casually, "How about...you guys move aside and let us pass. Just pretend you didn't see us, okay?"
The other party didn't respond.
But one of the men holding a gun asked sternly: "Did you cause the explosion just now?"
"Uh..." Cheng Sinian scratched his brow. "It's true that we caused the explosion, but we were also trying to protect ourselves... We had no choice."
"You had no choice?" the man said louder. "You had no choice, so why did you blow up our granary?"
“…”
Oh, it turns out that granary has an owner.
But there is no food inside.
Cheng Sinian complained silently in his heart, but he remained amiable on the surface, even tugging at the corner of his mouth to reveal a seemingly sincere smile, "I'm sorry, we didn't know the granary was owned by someone, and we only resorted to this desperate measure because we were being chased by a group of mutant crows..."
"Can you please let us go?" Cheng Sinian frowned again, looking worried. "My brother is injured and unconscious. We are rushing to find medicine!"
The man who had just spoken looked Cheng Sinian up and down, but still didn't respond. He shouted again, "Get everyone in your car out!"
Cheng Sinian felt that this sounded familiar.
Tsk. What a turn of events.
Cheng Sinian knew very well how conspicuous Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen's faces were in the apocalypse, so he instinctively didn't want Luo Zhenzhen to get off the car.
"Brother, we are really in a hurry to find medicine to save his life!" There was a hint of impatience in Cheng Sinian's eyes.
The man wanted to say something but was stopped by another older-looking man holding a gun.
The older man seemed to have great prestige. He casually stopped the man who had just spoken and he immediately shut up.
A gleam flashed in the older man's eyes. "Young man, I'm the chief of Dama Village. Have you heard of Dr. Yu, the famous doctor in the medical field? He's right here with us! We have medicine right here in our village!"
"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since this young man is in a hurry to save lives, let's talk about these things later. First, please follow us into the village to find Dr. Yu to treat your injuries!"
Dama Village? Dr. Yu? Cheng Sinian was slightly startled when he heard these two words.
Dr. Yu...Yu Huairen?
Cheng Sinian studied medicine, so he was naturally very familiar with Dr. Yu Huairen's name.
One of the top pharmacists in today's medical field.
He was a skilled doctor with unique insights into drug research, and he cured and saved countless lives throughout his life.
When Cheng Sinian was still in college, Dr. Yu's photo had already been hung in the classroom corridor for people to admire.
Cheng Sinian was also fortunate enough to have come into contact with this big shot in the pharmaceutical industry.
His pharmacology teacher, Kang Cong, was a favorite student of Dr. Yu. When he was teaching them pharmacology, he invited Dr. Yu to give them several lectures.
So in terms of seniority, he has to call Dr. Yu "Master".
Cheng Sinian had heard that after retiring, this doctor turned down all offers of re-employment and projects and took his wife to teach in the mountains.
So we came to Dama Village?
But...the mutant reminded them that there was danger in the village, but what about Dr. Yu?
Didn’t Dr. Yu leave?
Did they misunderstand the meaning of the variant, or were these villagers deceiving them?
No, that's not right.
The problem now is that this is clearly not the road to the village entrance. How did they get into Dama Village?
Cheng Sinian carefully stared at the expression on the village chief's face, his eyes somewhat suspicious. "Is this... Dama Village?"
"Yes." The village chief nodded, "This is the back mountain of Dama Village."
There are no unnecessary disguises. The corners of the mouth are relaxed, the eyes are firm, and the facial expression is calm and natural.
——He didn’t lie.
