Chapter 163: The Killing Game of the End of the World
Seeing that she was about to kick him again, Xie Fei opened the car door and ran out, asking, "What's going on?"
"The tire was punctured by a nail. We need to change to a spare one." Sun Hou said.
"Nail?" Xie Fei thoughtfully checked the leaking tire, then stood up and looked around, "There are too many people here, let's get off the highway first, and then find a place to change the spare tire."
So the group got back into the car, got off the highway from the nearest exit, and stopped in a relatively secluded place.
Sun Hou and a few brothers were changing the tire on one side, Zheng Youting was organizing everyone to rest and make dinner on the other side, and Xie Fei was taking Shen Yin to explore the surroundings.
It was almost five o'clock, the sun was setting, and thick dark clouds had gathered in the sky, completely blocking the afterglow of the sunset.
The sky, which was bright just now, suddenly became gloomy and hazy.
"It's going to rain. Are we going to leave at night?" Chen Yin asked, looking at the dark clouds.
Xie Fei also looked up and saw rolling dark clouds covering the entire sky, with a storm about to come.
"No, it's dangerous to go on the road in this weather." Xie Fei shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's find a place nearby to rest for a night."
Shen Yin nodded in agreement and was about to speak. However, the moment she said this, Xie Fei's gaze suddenly changed, and his eyes looked straight ahead. At the same time, he almost subconsciously grabbed Shen Yin's wrist.
Shen Yin was startled at first, and was confused for a moment.
She followed Xie Fei's gaze, and the next moment, her expression changed as well.
Xie Fei held Chen Yin tightly with one hand, protecting her behind him, while purple arcs of electricity gathered in the palm of his other hand.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang", an arc of electricity with the power of thunder was accurately hit the slope.
Yellow soil and gravel were flying all over the sky.
“Cough cough cough!”
Then there were two heart-wrenching coughs, and the two men fell to the ground covered in dust. Because of the lightning strike, there was a faint burnt smell in the air.
The two coughed for a long time, and the yellow sand gradually dissipated.
Just as the two were about to get up, Xie Fei pointed a gun at them and said coldly, "Who are you? What are you trying to do hiding here?"
“Stop, stop, stop!” the pointy-faced curly-haired boy said hastily, “Don’t shoot! We don’t mean any harm, really! We were just passing by here, and we got a little scared when we saw so many strangers, so we hid here.”
"Yes, yes!" Another boy with a simple and honest face nodded and agreed, "We really didn't lie to you. We live in the village in front. Today we came out to look for supplies..." At this point, he paused and smiled a little embarrassedly, "But we were unlucky and didn't find anything."
Both of them look honest, but one cannot judge a person by his appearance, especially in the end times when danger is lurking everywhere.
So Xie Fei and the other man did not relax their vigilance at all, until they saw Wang Tao and a few brothers coming to find them, he let go of Shen Yin's hand.
"Who are they?" Wang Tao asked with a serious and vigilant look.
Just as they were cooking, they suddenly heard an explosion, which scared everyone. Wang Tao quickly gathered a few people and rushed over.
Xie Fei looked at the two people coldly and said, "I don't know them."
“They said they were people from the village ahead, passing by here,” Shen Yin added.
"Just passing by?" Wang Tao looked at Xie Fei and the others with a look of disbelief, "Do you believe it?"
Xie Fei did not answer. Shen Yin looked at him and thought of the strange nail on the highway in tacit understanding. Then she turned her head and said lightly: "I don't believe it."
The two men froze when they heard that. The smile on the honest man's face was a little hard to hold. He looked at his companion at a loss: "Shuanzi, this... they don't believe us."
The pointed-faced man rubbed his hands awkwardly: "If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. We are upright and honest. Besides, this is not a peaceful era, so it's right for them to be cautious."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Fei and the others, nodded stiffly, and said with a smile: "We will leave now and will not disturb you."
Then he pulled his companion's clothes, and the two of them were about to leave with silly smiles on their faces.
At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed across the sky, as if a giant blade had split a crack in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "boom" exploded in the sky, and rumbling thunder rolled in. Bean-sized raindrops came down with the terrifying thunder, and everyone hurriedly ran to the side to hide.
The wind was howling from all directions, and the sky that was vaguely visible just now was now dark under the pressure of dark clouds.
Xie Fei frowned as he watched the rain getting heavier and heavier with no sign of stopping. The highway looked very dangerous under the cover of rain and fog.
Wang Tao also frowned, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "The rain is too heavy, we must find a place to rest for the night."
Chen Yin also nodded with a heavy heart, and suddenly looked around as if she remembered something, then leaned close to Xie Fei's ear and whispered, "The rain is coming so hard, we can't find a place to shelter from the rain for a while, how about..."
As she said this, she glanced behind her and said, "There are many people with bad intentions along the way, and this one won't make a difference."
Xie Fei looked at Shuanzi and the other two who were trying to sneak away, then he raised his lips and asked, "How far is your village from here?"
Shuanzi's two steps froze, as if they were pushing each other. After a while, he turned around and said in a complicated tone: "There is still some way to go..."
"That's great, we'll drive you back." Xie Fei raised her peach blossom eyes slightly, "The rain is too heavy, let's stay here for one night before leaving."
Shuanzi wanted to say something, but was shocked by Xie Fei's unquestionable tone and could only murmur in response.
Twenty minutes later, the group walked around a small bamboo forest and finally saw farmhouses standing on both sides of the loess road.
The rain was so loud that it masked the roar of military vehicles. As it got closer, I saw people opening their doors and looking over.
They were all shocked to see that the people getting out of the car were tall and strong men with imposing manner. Only when they saw Shuanzi and the other man did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, an old man with a serious face came over, looked at Shuanzi and the others and said, "Didn't you go out to find food? Why did you bring back so many people?"
Shuanzi smiled and said, "Village Chief, it suddenly started to rain heavily, so they came here to hide for one night and then leave."
The village chief snorted and said nothing, seeming a little unhappy.
Chen Yin secretly pulled Xie Fei's sleeve, and Xie Fei smiled knowingly and glanced at Sun Hou.
Sun Hou asked someone to bring some food and daily necessities over, and said with a smile, "Lend me your room for one night, it's just a small token of my appreciation."
After taking a glance, the village chief finally nodded slightly, then called a few people to move their things and asked others to clean up a place for them to live.
It was almost nine o'clock after we covered the car with the tarp. After eating something casually, we went back to the house to rest.
Xie Fei and Shen Yin also packed up and prepared to go to bed. At this moment, the sound of cars came from the yard again, followed by noisy voices.
"Let us get out of the rain for a while. At worst, I can give you something."
"...There really aren't that many empty rooms." This was Shuanzi's voice. "You...there are too many people here."
"Then let's squeeze in and just deal with it for one night..."
"That's right, it's good to have a place to stay. Take us to the room!"
"Then wait a minute, I'll go call the village chief."
"It's so cold, you bitch, hurry up! What are you dawdling for? If there's no room left later, I'll beat you to death..."
Shen Yin was resting with her eyes closed when suddenly a familiar male voice came into her ears. She opened her eyes abruptly and got up, opening the door a little and looking over. It was Liu Hao and Shen Wei.
The others were also acquaintances, mostly retail investors who had followed Xie Fei’s team before.
Chen Yin closed the door and kicked Xie Fei, who was sleeping on the floor: "Hey, do you know who's here?"
"Chen Wei?" Xie Fei said calmly with his eyes closed.
"How do you know?"
Xie Fei smiled: "Look at your face full of bitterness and hatred, who else could it be but Chen Wei."
"I really don't want to see her. Nothing good will happen if I'm with her." Chen Yin sighed and lay back on the bed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hao's curse came from outside the house: "What bad luck! My tire is fucking blown!"
Hearing this, Xie Fei and Shen Yin looked at each other at the same time, and everything was said without words.
…
It was raining heavily, and as the voices outside the house gradually faded away, Chen Yin fell asleep in a daze.
Xie Fei listened to her gradually steady breathing and slowly smiled. In the silent night, only the sound of the rain could be heard. However, he couldn't sleep. His intuition told him that something was going to happen tonight.
On a dark and windy night, it is time to kill and rob.
Not to mention that the time, location and people are all right tonight. With such heavy rain, you probably won't hear any unusual sound as long as you fall asleep.
There were also those inexplicable nails, and not just them, it seemed that other people had encountered them as well.
Xie Fei looked at the shadows of the trees reflected on the window. The shadows were so heavy and fierce, it was really scary.
The sound of Shen Yin's gentle breathing beside his ears overwhelmed the whistling cold wind outside the window, making Xie Fei's heart extremely peaceful. He listened quietly. After an unknown amount of time, he gradually fell asleep.
In a daze, Xie Fei suddenly woke up, turned his head and saw Shen Yin sleeping soundly, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he heard the faint sound of footsteps mixed in with the sound of wind and rain, and there seemed to be the sound of that person struggling and sobbing.
It's not far away, maybe just next door, or maybe next door to next door.
The sound of wind and rain suppressed Xie Fei's usually sensitive hearing.
After a few minutes, the footsteps gradually approached, as if they were just outside the window. At the same time, he heard a woman's almost broken sobs, like the struggle roaring out of her throat when someone covered her mouth tightly.
The voice was very vague, but Xie Fei still recognized who it was.
That's why he didn't go to rescue her. Although he had no intention of intervening, no matter who was in danger tonight.
In the last days, everyone is in danger. Unless he is a friend he absolutely trusts, he will not meddle in other people's affairs.
…
When I woke up, the rain had lessened a lot, but it was still drizzling continuously. Xie Fei discussed with everyone and decided to stay for one more day. Who knows if the rain will suddenly get heavier on the road.
While everyone was cooking in the yard in the morning, Xie Fei quietly compared the car and the people, and found that several people were missing and the supplies in the car were gone.
So many people disappeared out of thin air, but no one noticed except Xie Fei. It’s not that others are too stupid, but because no one noticed. After all, who would pay attention to others all the time? Who would have thought that this simple village is actually a wolf’s den?
