C29 Strange Village
Tao Yao held the knife and quickly walked towards the village. However, before she could reach the village, a car had already rushed out of the village.
The short-haired girl sitting in the passenger seat saw Tao Yao walking towards the village and quickly pulled down the window. She shouted at Tao Yao, "Hey, don't go any further. There are zombies. Hey, did you hear me?"
Tao Yao stopped in her tracks and turned around in surprise. Just as the short-haired girl finished shouting, Tao Yao felt the ground shake slightly. After a while, a group of zombies appeared at the entrance of the village. The hair on Tao Yao's body stood on end. She picked up the Babao and turned around to run.
In the car, the short-haired girl said to the muscular man in the driver's seat, "Brother, why don't we wait for her? It won't take much time."
Before the man could say anything, a voice interrupted, "Little sister, time is life. We can't afford to wait."
"But..." The short-haired girl had a conflicted expression. She wanted to say something, but the muscular man interrupted her, "Then let's just wait."
The short-haired girl smiled happily when she heard this. She hurriedly waved at Tao Yao and said, "Come on up."
Tao Yao did not waste any more time. With a kick, she ran to the car and opened the car door. She quickly jumped into the car.
The moment Tao Yao got into the car, the car shot out like an arrow. The road conditions were good, and the car was fast. The zombies were soon left far behind.
Tao Yao looked at the people in the car with gratitude and thanked them sincerely, "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have fed the zombies."
The short-haired girl in the passenger seat waved her hand carelessly and said, "It's nothing. It's just a small favor."
The driver smiled brightly and said, "What's the big deal? It's what we should do. We can't just watch you feed the zombies."
The woman sitting next to Tao Yao was holding a five or six-year-old girl in her arms. The woman's expression was a little unnatural. She forced the corner of her mouth and ignored Tao Yao.
Tao Yao rubbed her nose in annoyance. The Babao in her arms poked its head out of Tao Yao's arms and looked around curiously.
"Mom, the dog, Yuanyuan wants to touch it." The little girl looked at the Babao in Tao Yao's arms with sparkling eyes. She shook the woman's arm with her hand.
"No, the dog has germs on its body. It will get sick. If it gets sick, it will have to drink bitter medicine." The woman coaxed the little girl to stop playing with the dog.
When Yuanyuan heard that she would get sick, she remembered that bitter medicine. Her fair and tender little face wrinkled up. It was obvious that she had a deep impression of it. She was no longer obsessed with touching the Babao, but she still looked at it eagerly. She buried her head in her mother's arms for a while, then suddenly came out and played hide-and-seek with the Babao. The man and the dog played happily.
The woman had a gentle smile on her face as she quietly watched her daughter play.
The short-haired girl turned her head and chatted with Tao Yao, "My name is Hsiao Yu. This is my brother Hsiao Qiang. This is my sister-in-law Liyun. Oh, right, what's your name?"
"My name is Tao Yao. This is Babao." Tao Yao waved her little paws.
"Where are you going?"
"West Wind Base."
"How lucky. We are going to the West Wind Base too. We..." We can go together.
"Cough, cough. Hsiao Yu, do you have any more water?" The woman obviously didn't want Hsiao Yu to continue talking, so she interrupted her.
Hsiao Yu looked at her sister-in-law with a strange expression. Wasn't the water in the back seat? However, she didn't say anything. She just said, "I don't have any more water."
Tao Yao pretended that she didn't notice Liyun's thoughts and continued to chat with Hsiao Yu. However, the two of them didn't continue with the topic.
Tao Yao decided to leave when she reached a safe place. She had just gotten on the car when she realized that Liyun didn't welcome her. Actually, it was easy to understand. Although she had a superpower, she looked weak. It was easy for people to think that she was a useless burden. Moreover, her backpack was empty. It was obvious that she didn't have much food. Therefore, Tao Yao was not a good partner in the eyes of others.
Hsiao Qiang looked at the darkening sky and said, "The zombies are not only getting stronger and stronger, but also more and more. It's not safe to spend the night outside. We have to find a place to stay."
There was no sign of human habitation around them. While they were disappointed, they suddenly saw a green smoke rising from afar and slowly floating towards the sky.
Hsiao Qiang was overjoyed. He stepped on the accelerator and sped up. Ten minutes later, Tao Yao and the others arrived at a village and parked the car in a concealed shed.
Two tall men were guarding the entrance of the village. When they saw someone coming, they hurriedly shouted towards the village.
A woman in blue clothes, who was still considered clean, walked towards them with a smile. She said, "You must be passing by. Come in and rest for the night. We can leave tomorrow morning. It's not safe to travel at night."
The woman was kind and amiable, causing people to unconsciously lower their guard and trust her.
Hsiao Qiang said a few words of greeting and followed the woman into the village. However, he did not realize that the moment the woman turned around, she revealed a smile that made one's hair stand on end. She glanced at the Babao with greedy eyes.
Tao Yao's extended foot paused. Although the woman's gaze was obscure, Tao Yao still saw it. In fact, from the moment the woman appeared, Tao Yao felt that the woman had a strong sense of dissonance. However, she could not figure out exactly what was so strange about her. Fortunately, she followed her and wanted to see what trick she was playing.
"It smells so good!" Hsiao Yu wrinkled her nose and sniffed in the air.
Not far away, under a tall banyan tree, a group of people were surrounding a large iron pot to stew meat. The rich fragrance of meat wafted in the air.
The woman in blue clothes brought over a few cups of water and said amiably, "You must be thirsty after coming all the way here. Drink some water." After saying that, she looked at them earnestly.
"No, no, we brought water, so we won't drink it. We've already troubled you enough." Hsiao Qiang refused.
"This water is from the mountain, it's so sweet. Try it." The woman took a cup of water and drank it all in one gulp.
In the end, Hsiao Qiang and the others had no choice but to drink the water. Seeing the blue-clothed woman also drink the water, Tao Yao also raised her cup of water and was ready to drink it.
Suddenly, she saw the excitement in the woman's eyes. Her hand paused, and a dark light flashed in her eyes as she poured the water into the basin in the space.
Everyone drank the water.
Tao Yao and the others only heard a "hula" sound behind them. The group of people who had just sat around the iron pot instantly surrounded them. The blue-clothed woman who led the way revealed a strange smile, and her gentle voice turned sinister and terrifying. "Hurry up and catch them. Keep them for later. How delicious!"
Hsiao Qiang felt his body go limp. He could not use his strength. The person in front of him also became a blur. His brain was drowsy. He shook his head with all his might, wanting to stay awake, but it was useless. The others were also about the same.
