[048] Ride the wind away
When Trevor took the child to bed, Xiao felt his shoulders sink, but it was still within the scope he could accept. He had taken Trevor to glide before, and he knew how heavy Trevor was.
He kicked the big tree and immediately floated towards Shuimu Town. He could hear the heartbeat and crying of the survivors in the town, so he quickly locked a house and landed on the top of the house.
"There is a child in the second room on the left side of the second floor below. There are two water belly snakes in the passage. Be careful!" he reminded Trevor.
Trevor settled the child and nodded, "I understand, I'll look for older children next time."
These children are too young, and the owl can't turn back to take care of him. Once he enters the house to save people, these children will be in danger. If they climb to the edge of the bed, they are very likely to fall down.
"Well, I will pay attention to choosing next time!" Xiao nodded.
In fact, he couldn't determine which children were older by relying on hearing alone. Fortunately, he still had other abilities now.
The two red lines immediately spread to both sides, looking for older children based on the sound of heartbeat he heard.
A red line penetrated the wall and entered a room. Xiao immediately saw the scene in the room. A little girl, about six years old, curled up in the corner of the bed, looking at the door in horror. A red-flame snake in the cockscomb was slowly entering the room.
Whether it is a water belly snake or a cockscomb red flame snake, there are no humans in the recipe. They are not big enough to swallow humans at all.
The reason why they attack people randomly now is that they have lost their homes and have to escape from their hiding places. They have no sense of security, don’t know where to escape, and where to be safe. Therefore, they crawl aimlessly and will show strong aggressiveness when encountering creatures.
Those who were bitten to death by watery snakes and cockscomb red flame snakes were actually not eaten.
The owl controlled the red line into the body of the cockscomb Red Flame Snake, and then manipulated the cockscomb Red Flame Snake to turn around and leave the room. When he left, he used his tail to close the door.
In the passage outside the room, a woman was covered in red all over and was carrying a large sack behind her back. Because of the fall, a small mouthful of the sack was opened, with all kinds of food inside, and flour even leaked out of the sack, which happened to be sprinkled on the woman's face.
Obviously, this woman was bitten to death by the red flame snake of the cockscomb.
The owl controlled the red flame snake of the cockscomb and continued to walk out, and then saw the male owner of the family. He was also extremely tragic in death. Because of the hot poison of the red flame snake of the cockscomb, his face seemed to be about to melt, his expression was distorted, and his eyes almost fell off from his eye sockets, which was very terrifying.
"This is the price of greed." Xiao apologized for his misfortune, but he did not sympathize with him.
At this time, Trevor returned to the attic with a child in his arms. Xiao was ready to put down a rope. Trevor first tied the child to the rope, and waited for Xiao to take out the child and then put the rope down before he climbed up.
"Damn, these watery snakes are crazy." Trevor couldn't help but curse with the child in his arms.
Just now, there were not only water belly snakes in the aisle, but also the child's father. After the other party was bitten to death, the body was swollen like a floating corpse soaked in water, which was very terrifying.
When he took the child by, he had to cover the child's eyes so that the other party would not leave a psychological shadow.
Xiao sighed, "These snakes are already crazy."
Boom!
At this time, there was a loud noise, and a house in the distance collapsed, and several hot pigs ran around.
Trevor hurriedly said: "We must move faster and go to the next place."
"Yeah." Xiao's face darkened and he nodded in agreement.
In fact, compared with the water-bellied snake and the cockscomb red flame snake, the hot pigs are more threatening because the hot pigs are good at destroying the family.
Children just need to hide in the house, unless the water-bellied snake and the cockscomb red flame snake enter the room, it will not threaten the children. But the hot pigs are different. They will knock the entire house down, no matter where the children hide.
Xiao gritted his teeth slightly and moved quickly towards the next place with his back on the bed. Next, both him and Trevor were interested in speeding up.
The second child to be rescued was the little girl who was just six years old and could help take care of younger children, so Trevor was relieved.
A few minutes later, Xiao and Trevor rescued their third child.
Both Xiao and Trevor were a little tired, and the two were sweating profusely, but seeing the growing number of hot pigs, both of them gritted their teeth and continued.
On the ground, the hot pig and the water-bellied snake and the red-flaming snake encountered unexpectedly.
The battle situation became fierce for a while. Some water-bellied snakes were trampled to death by the hot pigs, but some were bitten to death by the cockscomb Red Flame Snake.
The worst thing is the water-bearing snake. Because the toxins of the water-bearing snake have no effect on the cockscomb red flame snake and the hot pig, these two creatures have their own resistance, so the number of water-bearing snakes has dropped rapidly. Shuimu Town gradually became the battlefield for the cockscomb red flame snake and the hot pig.
Both sides had already killed red eyes. The hot pig caught the cockscomb and the red flame snake arched, and even opened its mouth to bite it. The red flame snake was not willing to be outdone, and pierced the sharp fangs into the thick skin of the hot pig, and a large amount of toxins were injected into the hot pig's body.
For most creatures, it is extremely deadly. The red flame snake heat poison is also very scary for hot pigs, but it is not immediately fatal.
Generally, hot pigs injected with toxins will appear even more crazy. They will bite the cockscomb to death and then bump around, and will often die because of the excessive heat and evaporation of blood.
Xiao and Trevor were not concerned about the life and death of the hot pig and the red flame snake, and both of them were racing against time to save people.
In fact, there are surviving adults in the town, but both of them did not mention those people in a tacit understanding. It was because the children were innocent. If the adults didn't take them away, they could not escape from Shuimu Town by themselves.
Adults are different. They are left behind because of their greed, so they must bear the consequences of greed.
This is their own choice.
More and more children were saved along the way, and the energy scales on the owl's shoulders were pressed out of dents, and even blood was condensing.
He gritted his teeth and landed on the roof of a house and said, "There are two people below, one big and one small."
"Save them all?" Trevor hesitated when he heard this.
Xiao thought for a while and said, "Depending on the situation, save the child first and see how the other party reacts."
"I understand." Trevor immediately realized what the owl meant and nodded in agreement.
The owl actually consciously chose the target of rescue first. Children whose parents had been bitten to death by snakes were given priority for rescue. Now all the orphans have been saved, and the remaining children are with their parents, which is difficult to deal with.
He couldn't save an adult. On the one hand, he didn't want to save him. On the other hand, he was really fast to the limit. He would still be able to take care of a few more children, but adults were too heavy.
The weight of an adult is almost equivalent to three children, so of course he chooses to save three children instead of one adult.
In the house, Trevor held a knife in his hand and killed a water-bellied snake, and quickly walked to someone's room. Sure enough, there was a man and a little boy in the room.
"Trevor, are you coming back to save us?" The man obviously knew Trevor and immediately said excitedly.
Trevor reached out his hand and said, "Sorry, I can't save you, but I can take your son away."
"Why?" the man hugged his son in his arms tightly and asked in confusion, while also feeling a little dissatisfied.
Trevor frowned and said, "I'm climbing the house and carrying your son is already the limit. Do you want me to carry you on my back?"
“…”
The man showed a half-believing and half-doubted expression, and his hands relaxed slightly.
He glanced at his four-year-old son and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll leave Xiaoshu to you and help me take good care of him."
"Well, don't worry." Trevor breathed a sigh of relief and took the child in the man's arms.
Trevor turned around and left. The little boy immediately looked at his father reluctantly, and the man refused to give up the child. After Trevor left, the man gritted his teeth and walked out the door and immediately chased Trevor.
It’s not that he wants Trevor to save him, but that he wants to see how Trevor escaped. Maybe he can go there himself?
When he caught up with Trevor, Trevor had already climbed up to the roof. He quickly shouted, "Wait, let me go up."
But the rope was quickly put away, and he quickly pushed open the attic window and watched the owl fly away from the bed.
"No, you can't do this, you can't leave me behind!" The man's eyes were covered in blood, and he shouted in shock and anger. He could see that Trevor and the others had the ability to save him, but they didn't want to save him.
Trevor sat on the bed, looking at the man yelling in the attic window with calm eyes, completely unmoved.
When he told him to leave from house to house, many of these people were saying sarcastic words and didn't believe him at all. Since he was already an adult, he should pay the price for his choice.
"Big bad guy, why don't you save my dad?" the little boy looked at Trevor angrily at this time and asked.
A four-year-old child already knows something.
Trevor pressed his big hand on his head and said, "Because your dad is a fool, don't imitate him."
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the owl quickly controlled the center of gravity, landed on a house next to him, and grabbed the chimney with both hands.
"Here's coming, the black storm is coming!" Xiao looked up and saw the dark clouds in the distance, and couldn't help but say solemnly.
Trevor asked, “How many children are there?”
"Five." Owl replied.
Trevor glanced at the unpredictable dark clouds in the distance, swallowed his saliva, and smiled reluctantly, "Since there are still five, it's not too short of this time, continue?"
"Yeah." Xiao nodded and agreed.
He gritted his teeth, took a few quick steps, jumped violently, glided towards the house next to him, and then kept bouncing on the top of the house.
It’s not that he didn’t want to fly over faster, but that the wind was strong at high altitudes, and he probably was blown away by the wind before he even arrived at his destination.
Next, every time a child is saved, it is a heartbreaking separation between the parents and the children, but there are two parents who use their children as threats and insist on Trevor and Xiao taking them with them, otherwise they will not let the children leave.
Trevor was almost vomited blood in anger, and in the end he relied on the owl to use the red line to control the other party, and then took the child away.
Chapter completed!
