Chapter 74 Small Town
For hot air balloons, you can only rely on the airflow in the air to move.
Experienced pilots will constantly adjust the height of the hot air balloon to adjust its direction.
But there is no doubt that Lu Bai's experience in this area is almost zero.
It can only be wherever it is blown by the wind.
…
The sun is setting in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.
On the country road, the two figures one behind the other looked a bit dusty.
"Are you sure this is the right way to go?" Yao Yi slapped his thigh twice and couldn't help but ask.
The landing location of the hot air balloon was not ideal, and it landed in a very remote ravine.
There was no village or shop in front of me, and I wandered around for almost two hours before I found this path with traces of human activity.
"Be patient."
Lu Bai smiled and comforted him.
While the hot air balloon was drifting in the air, he paid close attention to the scene on the ground.
Continuing along this road, you should be able to see a small county town soon.
Yao Yi sighed, looking slightly puzzled: "Why don't we just call for rescue?"
"Then how do you explain your girlfriend's death? Did you tell the rescuers that your girlfriend turned into a monster?"
Lu Bai slowed down slightly, glanced at Yao Yi, and continued to add: "And have you forgotten, the monster is still inside you."
As soon as these words came out, Yao Yi's expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously reached out to touch his chest.
We walked for a while in silence.
He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Are there other reasons? There must be secrets in you."
"So be it."
Lu Bai nodded, and the long fang appeared in his hand out of thin air. He flipped his wrist like a juggling act, and the slender nodachi disappeared again.
In fact, all weapons obtained in the [Weapons Library] can be stored actively.
It's just that this portability benefit can only be enjoyed by the original owner of the [Weapon Arsenal]. Even if someone else takes the weapon away, the system will not be equipped with this storage function.
Some clues can be gleaned from the fact that Fan Ding took the sword out of thin air in the last round of death-match duel and the duo carelessly delivered guns in the supermarket.
Lu Bai was quite satisfied with this function. After all, a strange weapon like a long tooth would be a bit conspicuous if it was always carried around.
Seeing the repeated appearance of a nodachi with a length of more than two meters, Yao Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart: "No matter how many times I see it, it still feels magical."
Dudu~
The piercing horn of the truck came from a distance, not very clear, but not ignored.
"Did you hear that?" Yao Yi asked uncertainly.
"Well, it looks like it's almost there."
…
Jiangyu County.
A small county with a permanent population of less than 100,000 people.
Since it is only about half an hour's drive from the city, young people in the county naturally choose to work and live in big cities.
As a result, people over the age of sixty account for more than half of the county's resident population.
In a county like this, the nights always stay a little longer.
The sun has just set, and there are not many pedestrians on the street anymore. The street lamps that have been in disrepair emit dim light, with a bit of indescribable desolation.
A young woman in her early twenties rode a small electric donkey slowly through the intersection and stopped in front of a scrap recycling shop in the northernmost part of the county.
Woof, woof woof!
The Chinese Garden Dog, about two or three years old, saw its owner far away and barked impatiently. However, it was tied up by a rope and could not pounce on him.
"Hehe, Pudding, do you miss your sister?" Tong Shujuan squatted down and began to rub Pudding's head angrily. However, what was abnormal was that the native dog did not express intimacy with her as usual. Instead, it continued to bark "woof, woof, woof" and the sound became louder and louder.
"What's wrong with pudding?"
Tong Shujuan was a little strange. She looked around and then noticed that there was no leftover food in the dog bowl next to her: "It turns out I'm hungry."
Zhiqua~
At this moment, the side door was slowly opened.
Several elderly people walked out of the house and looked at Tong Shujuan expressionlessly.
One of the men and one woman were Tong Shujuan's parents. Although it was a bit strange for these old people to appear quietly, she didn't think too much about it.
He continued to squat next to the dog, raised his head and asked, "Mom, did you forget to prepare dinner for Pudding?"
However, no one answered her, everyone just looked at her quietly.
The native dog barked even more fiercely, and even bared its teeth at these old people.
"What...what's wrong?" Tong Shujuan gradually felt that something was wrong.
Several old people looked at each other and then started talking as if no one else was watching.
The first person to speak was Tong Shujuan's mother, her tone sounded very stiff: "We need more young bodies."
"Which one of you is changing?"
"I need a replacement," said the old woman, who looked to be at least seventy years old.
"Can."
Tong Shujuan's father expressed his affirmation: "Juan, Juan, come into the house."
The scene of several people talking fell into Tong Shujuan's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel shivers down her spine.
Especially some of the words in the old man's words made her scalp feel numb for a while, and she even trembled uncontrollably when she spoke: "Are you... kidding me?"
"No joke," her father said.
These are clearly his parents, why does it feel so weird? !
Tong Shujuan summoned up the courage to ask, "Then why do you talk like this?"
Hearing this, several old people looked at each other.
"She found out, questioned."
"Not yet, natural enough."
"This language is difficult to learn."
While talking, several people gathered around Tong Shujuan.
Seeing this, Tong Shujuan took out her mobile phone, pressed 110 on the dialing interface, and showed the mobile phone screen to several elderly people.
She was panicked and scared, with a hint of crying in her voice: "If you are kidding me, stop it immediately!"
The old people ignored her and gathered around her stiffly.
This silent scene at this moment seemed extremely terrifying in Tong Shujuan's eyes.
She was so frightened that she trembled all over and couldn't even hold the phone steady: "That's enough...stop!"
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.
"Sorry to bother you, I would like to ask, is there a restaurant nearby?"
Lu Bai looked at the situation at the scrap collection station curiously.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran to death. Although he and Yao Yi saw the county seat in the evening, when they actually arrived at this small county town, it was already completely dark.
Standing at the intersection, he and Yao Yi looked around. Most of the shops on both sides of the road were closed. Only one grocery store still had the lights on, but there were no people looking around the grocery store.
In this way, even though the situation at the scrap collection station next to it seemed not quite right, Lu Bai still decided to ask.
