Seven hundred and seventieth chapters mutual distrust
When the villagers turned their faces towards me, I looked at the expression of Cidan Dawu. There was only anxiety on his face, as if he was only worried about the villagers' situation, and there was no dissatisfaction with the act of sensitivity.
I introduced the Qi field of the Black Water Corpse Coffin into the villagers' bodies again and again, and let the Qi field wander around them. Everyone is healthy, and only the head man has corpse poison remaining in the stomach.
Then I asked Mindu to ask the villagers what the heads usually eat and what they usually eat.
The villagers said that after they gathered at Rhino Spring, they ate some brown rice and a small amount of jerky every day. Soon the jerky was gone, so they could only eat brown rice and some plants' rhizomes. The few fish near the spring were also eaten by them. Later, they ate their own belts and boots. The food of the head people was very rich. They could eat fresh meat every day, drink goat's milk and eat cheese.
During this period, a villager revealed that after the leader ate all the fresh meat and dairy products, he started to fight with the villagers.
When I heard the villagers' words, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The reason why the head man had corpse poison in his stomach sac was the problem with the meat and milk they ate. After the meat and milk were consumed, the fight started, which means that the food left for the wounded was safe.
When the villagers were talking, the witch Cidan was very quiet. Until Mindu translated the villagers' words into Chinese, the witch Cidan began to pace anxiously. As soon as Mindu finished explaining the villagers' words, the witch Cidan started to shout. He said something to Mindu in a hurry. While he was talking, some villagers were interrupting.
Mindu frowned and listened to the words of Cidan Dawu and the villagers, and then said to me: "Citan Dawu said that it must be the things in the power plant that caused the two heads to get plague. Others also said that the heads had taken people to the power plant and originally wanted to find some supplies, but they seemed to have encountered some trouble in the power plant. No one who followed them could come out from there. After the heads came out, their temperament changed drastically, and the internal strife also began at that time."
I raised my eyebrows: "Didn't I just say that they started fighting in the internal battle because they finished eating the food?"
Mindu said: "Some people do say that, but... wait, Ma Ci has something to say."
After saying that, Mindou looked at Ma Ci and said something to Ma Ci, and Ma Ci also responded.
Mind nodded and immediately told me: "Ma Ci said that after the two headmen finished eating all the fresh meat and dairy products, they took people to the power plant. He was a chef and was responsible for cooking for the headmen every day. He knew more about the headmen than others. He also heard from the headmen that there was a large storage room in the power plant. When the headmen took their relatives to evacuate, they did not move the supplies inside because the power plant had been occupied at that time. Ma Ci did not go with him, but he said that the headmen became very irritable after returning from the power plant, and the fight started that afternoon."
I asked Mind: "You ask him, what is occupying the power plant?"
When Sensitivity communicated with Ma Ci, Cidan Dawu also inserted his mouth.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the sensitivity turned to me again: "Ma Ci heard from the headman that there is a very terrible demon in the power plant, and all those touched by them will become demons. The headman said that they had never seen anything like that, and that was not a human, nor a beast or a mountain god. The great witch of Cidan confirmed Ma Ci's statement. The great witch said that he had seen that thing before, in a dream."
I remember Mindu said that the village invited Wu Lin to repair the power plant, so he turned his attention to Wu Lin: "Have you seen that thing too?"
Wu Lin nodded: "I should be the first to discover it."
I asked, "What's that thing? Is that evil corpse?"
Wu Lin thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't describe it, you'll know it after you look at it. In fact, I have always felt that something happened in the village is likely to be related to that thing, and even if there is no connection, you can't leave it alone. The coal in the power plant will be eaten up sooner or later, and it will run outside when it comes to it. It is very aggressive, and it will be difficult for anyone who encounters it to survive."
In other words, the wounded people in Rhino Spring are still in danger. Although they already have a small amount of food, things in the power plant may come out and hurt people at any time.
The sudden change of the head man must be released first, so we have to quickly transfer the wounded.
I looked at the survivors who had just entered the treasure top. Everyone had yellow face muscles and they should not have more energy to participate in the next rescue operation.
In desperation, I could only ask the Cidan Dawu to select more than 40 strong men from the people who had been living in Baoding and take these people to Rhino Spring.
The witch of Cidan was right. When these people found that there were women in our team, they all showed great disgust and disdain. In order to ensure that the rescue operation was carried out normally, I could only leave Xian'er and Luo Fei. On the one hand, they were allowed to keep an eye on the toasts under house arrest, and on the other hand, they could also help Mind to deal with some difficult things.
Those who participated in the rescue include Liang Houzai, Wu Lin, Cang Jia, Cidan Dawu, and Liu Shangang stayed at Baoding. With him and Luo Fei here, the corpse refiner lurking in Baoding should not dare to make too much noise.
Actually, I am not sure if the corpse refiner is still hiding on the treasure troop. I have sensed it carefully just now, and there is no strange power of thought in the treasure troop.
Liu Shangang's sonic bomb has cleared all the evil corpses on the Baoding to Rhino Spring Road. We walked smoothly along the way, and the escaped mountain god did not come to cause trouble for us.
Back at Rhino Spring again, the wounded people gathered here to see us as if they had met their savior, and some people with not particularly serious injuries began to cheer.
This time we brought a total of fifty people, and we escorted one of the injured with two people. We could only transport up to twenty-five people at a time.
There were 80 wounded people stranded here, twenty of whom were seriously injured. I decided to transport them away first. In addition, when we come back next time, we must bring some food. The rescue may last for a while. I am worried that some people will die because they are too relaxed during this period.
Why can you lose your life if you are too relaxed? I don’t know how to explain this with relevant professional knowledge, but I think everyone has had such an experience. In the process of striving for a certain goal, no matter how tired or overdrawn your body, you can maintain the most basic health. But when the goal is achieved and the tight nerves suddenly relax, your body will immediately have problems.
A relatively sufficient nutritional supply can prevent this from happening to a certain extent.
Wu Lin said that as soon as the Tsun Dawu arrived at Rhino Spring, he immediately asked what had happened here. After that, his face kept getting dark, and Wu Lin could feel the depressing anger on his body.
I was too hasty when I came last time. This time, I took advantage of the time when others were relocating the wounded. In the southwest direction covered by fog, I found a towering chimney. It should be the power plant in Wulin's mouth. Now the power plant has stopped operating and no smoke has emerged from the chimney.
I tried to sense the Qi field in the southwest direction, where there was a corpse Qi with not too much Qi.
In addition, there is another thing that puzzled me very much. Since the power plant has been shut down, why can the village lights still be lit.
When I returned to the top of the treasure, I asked Wu Lin about this. Wu Lin's answer was beyond my expectations: "Because that thing."
I understand what he means. The "that thing" he says is a monster hidden in a power plant and relies on living with coal.
There were eighty wounded people, we traveled back and forth four times before we moved them all to Baoding.
But on our third way back to Baoding, what I least wanted to see happened. Three wounded people started to get into trouble just after leaving Rhino Spring. One of them twitched, one of them was in a coma, and the remaining one kept bleeding from nose. All three died halfway.
They survived the most difficult months, but their lives passed away when they were about to be saved. I expected this to happen early in the morning, but when three living people slowly died in front of me, I still felt very uncomfortable.
Wu Lin, who had always been expressionless, faced the bodies of the three people and said lightly: "Survival of nature."
I don't know what he meant by saying these four words, but I could feel his eyes wandering when he was talking, and the loss of three lives seemed to stimulate something deep in his heart.
It was noon the next day that the last group of wounded people were sent back to Baoding. The witch of Cidan was getting older and the whole night of hard work had made him unable to withstand it, but he still went back to rest after all the wounded people were placed.
To be honest, Liang Houzai and I were tired after struggling all night, but Wu Lin seemed to be a person who didn't know how to get tired. After cooking the wounded, he lit a cigarette and went to the high wall alone, saying that he was going there to see the situation.
I didn't trust Wu Lin very much and was worried that he would go to the high wall. Maybe he wanted to contact the corpse refiner. Soon after he left, I followed him quietly.
But before I could walk under the high wall, Wu Lin suddenly flashed out of a small path beside me.
His movements were very fast, and I tightened my heart and immediately pressed my hand on the hilt of the Qinggang Sword.
Wu Lin looked at the sword in my hand and looked at me again: "Are you following me?"
I didn't plan to lie to him, either: "Well, I want to see what you are going to do."
"It's windy on the high wall, I'll go and blow the wind," Wu Lin turned around and continued to walk towards the high wall, while asking me: "Don't you trust me?"
I said, "I suspect you and the corpse refiner are in the same group."
I can't see through Wu Lin, but I think he can see through me. Hiding something in front of such a person may make things more troublesome.
Wu Lin walked in front of me, and I couldn't see his expression, only saw him shrugging, as if he was laughing: "Normal, in this world, no one trusted me except the Great Wizard of Cidan."
I asked him, "What do you do?"
Wu Lin stopped and turned his body to me: "I... am a mercenary. Some people call people like us killers. Well, I also like this title because I like to kill people while hiding in the shadows. I don't like head-on confrontation. Although head-on confrontation, no one is my opponent."
When I heard Wu Lin’s response, I immediately frowned.
If he is a killer, I must catch him and hand him over to Senior Brother Zhuang.
In addition, his arrogant attitude hidden under the indifference is a bit offensive. What does it mean to be a head-on confrontation mean? No one is his opponent. If his opponent is the second master, I think his chances of winning are very small.
Wu Ling paused and then said to me: "I know you are a person within the system, but you don't need to treat me as a threat. I have no nationality and have never killed anyone in China."
After saying that, he lit another cigarette and walked towards the high wall.
