Chapter 260 Bait Block
However, in Sun Hang's heart, he still held on to the last trace of luck - he hoped that during the time when he lost consciousness, he just drove around Shuzhou and did not drive into the occupied area...
After all, the unsettled rural environment in Shuzhou is similar to here. As long as Sun Hang can find a road, all problems can be easily solved.
Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly bumped into his field of vision from the darkness, staggering towards the off-road vehicle.
Sun Hang immediately stepped on the brakes.
His right hand instantly rested on the rifle placed on the passenger seat.
"The person who came here is not a good person..." Sun Hang muttered to himself.
As the figure gradually approached, Sun Hang subconsciously held his breath.
However, to his surprise, the person who came was not some monster or monster, but a slightly stooped old lady. She was carrying a rattan basket and a cane in the other hand, walking unsteadily. walking.
Only then did Sun Hang notice that under her feet, there was a dirt road that was almost buried in the dust.
Human?
Is this really not a occupied area?
No... How could anyone, and moreover an old man over seventy years old, come to the wilderness alone in such an environment where she couldn't see her fingers... What's more, she didn't even have lighting equipment.
"Click."
Sun Hang turned on the safety of the assault rifle.
The old lady didn't behave in any special way towards the off-road vehicle parked in front of her. Just like an ordinary passerby, she bypassed the vehicle and walked slowly from one side.
However, when passing by the car window, she still turned her head and glanced at Sun Hang in the car.
The two of them looked at each other, and Sun Hang actually saw a hint of complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
Doubt, pity and a little kindness... This look is like an elder seeing a junior who has gone astray.
The old lady sighed imperceptibly, lowered her head, and continued walking forward.
Just when Sun Hang was hesitant, she suddenly turned back, walked to the SUV, raised her withered arm, and tapped the window glass lightly.
"..." Sun Hang hesitated for a moment, and finally rolled down the window and asked in as polite a tone as possible, "Mother-in-law, is something wrong?"
"Xiao Yao'er, are you hungry?" the old lady asked.
Her voice was hoarse and rough, and her missing teeth made her speech leaky... Apart from herself, Sun Hang could hardly find anything unusual about this old man.
The old man appearing in this place at this time is the biggest anomaly in itself.
"Uh... not bad." Sun Hang scratched his head, "By the way, mother-in-law, do you know where this is? The navigation in the car is broken and I'm lost."
"Shh..." the old man put his index finger in front of his lips and said softly, "don't ask...don't ask..."
Sun Hang narrowed his eyes... Could this old lady be a mental patient?
The family was not in jail, and then he sneaked out alone and slipped into this wilderness?
Sun Hang's eyes swept over the old man's wrists and neck, trying to find the kind of rings or nameplates with family contact information... Unfortunately, except for a string of cheap-looking earthenware hanging around the old man's neck, Sun Hang found nothing except the silver necklace. Even if this is not an occupied area, under the shroud of eternal night, it is difficult to find any safe place in the entire Shuzhou territory, except Tianfu City... Small villages and towns cannot protect themselves, let alone not reach the back of the store in advance. No more deserted countryside.
No one can guarantee that a strange thing will jump out of any corner... In fact, in Shuzhou, except for those large human settlements, other places have become no different from occupied areas, except that the federal The government has not officially recognized it yet.
"Excuse me, where are you going? It's dark, it's in the wilderness, and it's not safe. Why don't you give me some directions and I'll drive you for a while?" Sun Hang asked tentatively.
However, the old lady still shook her head, "Don't ask...don't ask...Xiao Yao'er, are you hungry?"
This time, before it was Sun Hang's turn to answer, the old lady tremblingly opened the piece of homespun cloth covering the basket, took out a piece of food similar to rice cake, and handed it in through the car window.
"Old lady, I'm not hungry. You can keep this for yourself." As soon as Sun Hang refused, the old man let go of his hand, and Sun Hang could only catch the piece of "rice cake."
The rice cake is cold, but it is not as hard as the cold rice cake in Sun Hang's impression. It feels softer and sticky when pinched.
"Be careful on the way." Seeing Sun Hang taking the rice cake, the old man showed a simple smile, took two steps back, and continued walking in the original direction.
"Old woman—" Sun Hang wanted to stop her, but in the next second, he froze in place as if he had been hit by a restraining spell.
He saw the reflection of the "old man" in the rearview mirror of the car.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It was a walking mass of flesh and blood. Every time she took a step, a few drops of something unclear like blood or pus would fall from her body. The crutch she was holding on her right hand was actually a section of her wrist. There are dead bones extending out from here and there; and the "basket" held in the other hand is actually a large mass of tumor-like proliferative tissue wrapped around the arm.
The only thing that hasn't changed is "her" still staggering gait.
"Tsk..."
Sun Hang glanced at the "rice cake" in his hand, and then took it to the rearview mirror.
There was some kind of rice cake lying in the palm of my hand. It was clearly a piece of rotten flesh that was still wriggling.
"A blind eye? Or a cognitive distortion deep in consciousness?"
"No, it's not cognitive distortion... If it's cognitive distortion, even if I see 'her' true face in the mirror, my brain will tell me that she is a kind-hearted old man... not some deception. The monster..."
Sun Hang took another look at the rice cake in his hand, found a container for storing "dangerous goods" from the storage box on the side, and put the thing in it.
It's a pity that Sun Hang doesn't know much about the pastry in the southwest region of the Federation, otherwise he would have recognized it - this thing is not actually a rice cake, but a special food in the Yunnan and Dian regions: bait cubes.
Sun Hang thought for a moment, stepped on the accelerator, turned the car around and caught up with the old man.
"...Mother-in-law, do you know where the nearest village is?"
The "old lady" turned to look at Sun Hang, shook her head, and murmured: "Xiao Yao'er, are you still hungry... Isn't a piece of bait not enough for you?"
Sun Hang: "..."
