Crying hotly by myself every day [future]
Chapter 7 So Spicy
With the efforts of several chili boys, he finally brought out the automatic sprinkler correctly. Zhou Baizhe recalled the usage of this thing carefully, and then ordered one of the boys to press the start button.
In an instant, the round object quickly rose into the air, spraying water automatically, completely watering every inch of land and every plant in the field.
The originally somewhat dry land gradually became moist, and the color changed from khaki to dark brown. Although there will be no changes in these plants for a while, I believe that in a few days, these plants will be able to regain their vitality.
Zhou Baizhe instinctively began to desperately absorb the water in the land. This feeling was quite strange. He was obviously not a plant, but he was very familiar with photosynthesis and water absorption, and did not need any practice at all.
After a while, Zhou Baizhe was finally satisfied, the whole leaf looked extremely moist.
After 10 minutes, Zhou Baizhe guessed that it was almost done, so he ordered the pepper boys to put the watering device back to its original place, and then let them bury themselves in the original pit to eliminate all evidence of crime.
In the early morning, the sun shines on this rich but dangerous planet. The soldiers in the village are all ready, wearing combat uniforms and carrying laser swords, and set off to the extremely dangerous world in the distance.
Zhou Baizhe became more and more curious about the outside world, and at the same time, he was extremely eager for the crystal nuclei brought back by those soldiers every day. He reckoned that people in this village should have accumulated a lot of such crystal nuclei, but he didn't know that the village chief put these crystal nuclei Where.
At the same time, after the crisis of hunger and thirst, Zhou Baizhe could finally calm down and think about how to get those crystal nuclei, and at the same time, he did not forget to use his mental power to control those plants to perform some simple actions every night when the night was quiet.
Although this kind of life is a little boring, but he was also a martial arts practitioner in his previous life, and he has long been used to this kind of lonely life, practicing the basic skills repeatedly every day, firmly believing that hard work can make himself better.
Time is fleeting, quietly passing half a month.
This half month is enough for Zhou Baizhe to develop five more pepper boys. More importantly, he is more proficient in manipulating plants than before. Often, these ten pepper boys can perform simple things when a thought flashes through them.
It is much better than when I could only do some simple things before.
Just doing this consumes a lot of his mental power, but after every consumption, his mental power will improve a lot.
At the same time, he also eavesdropped on these people's conversations for half a month, and finally pieced together a general understanding of the world.
In this world, 21 years have passed since the 2000st century. Nowadays, technological civilization and supernatural powers have made human development flourish.
This news shocked Zhou Baizhe for a long time. No matter what, he never thought that he was reborn in the world after 2000. No wonder the technological civilization of this world is obviously higher than that of the earth, even though this planet is a backward and abandoned place.
In addition, he also learned that the source of those crystal nuclei is obtained from the skulls of those called mutants. The crystal nuclei of mutants can be used as abilities to upgrade and purify abilities, while the big bugs Body, which can also be crafted into many items.
Most of the people in this village live by selling the crystal nucleus and the body of the big bug. Every two months, the village will send out a small team with these things and various items accumulated by every household. Take it to the outside world to sell, and help bring back some daily necessities.
This planet is too remote and backward, without any interstellar navigation routes, but every two months, a private interstellar ship will pass by here, and the only way for the village to connect to the outside world is through this interstellar ship.
However, even knowing that this world is a world two thousand years later is useless, because even if he has a powerful golden finger, he is still in a very difficult and disadvantaged state.
Because he is a pepper, the root grows in the soil, which greatly limits the possibility of him using force to kill insects to obtain crystal nuclei. In addition, he currently has no crystal nuclei to exchange for items in the mall.
What should he do?
Zhou Baizhe felt a little anxious, as if all the doors and windows God had left for him were closed.
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, surrounded by three people, and Zhou Baizhe recognized in an instant that they were A Niu's family.
A Niu was holding a child in his arms. The child was pale and lifeless, leaning softly in A Niu's arms, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost the motivation to live.
A Niu's daughter-in-law wiped her tears from time to time, feeling sad and painful. Many villagers looked unbearable, obviously sympathizing with the family.
Zhou Baizhe pondered for a while, and instantly understood what was going on.
It is estimated that the child has really become a useless person.
The desperate cries of A Niu's daughter-in-law made everyone even more unbearable. As the head of the family, A Niu could only hold the child in his arms tightly and suppress all the pain in his heart.
The villagers helped to send the three people into the house, and kindly sent some food for their family, hoping that the family could tide over the difficulties.
A Niu endured his grief and thanked everyone. Everyone knew that the family needed a quiet space, so they hurriedly comforted them and left one after another. Before leaving, the village chief said to A Niu: "Remember to tell me if you have anything to do. I can help you." I will definitely find a way."
With tears in A Niu's eyes, he said with restraint, "Thank you..."
The village chief's thousands of words finally turned into a sigh, patted A Niu on the shoulder and left. After A Niu's daughter-in-law saw that everyone had left, she couldn't help it anymore, and immediately sat on the ground holding the child and crying loudly. Crying, there is no image at all.
But this kind of her, although she looked very embarrassed, made people feel hopeless and distressed, and Zhou Baizhe couldn't bear to look at her from the side.
Maternal love can always poke the deepest weakness in the human heart.
Xiaoxi was awakened by this sad cry, and she woke up leisurely. Seeing this, she was a little at a loss, so she could only comfort her and said: "Mother, don't cry, I'm fine, it's just..." The words paused slightly , a little desperately said: "I failed to activate the ability, I can no longer protect you."
In such a world full of dangers, he can only be a useless person, protected by his parents under the wings. The troop went out to explore.
As for him, he has become a waste that is even worse than ordinary people.
To live is always to cause trouble to others, and it is an out-and-out burden. At this moment, a young man who has not experienced too much, has a sudden thought of suicide in his heart.
"Xiaoxi, you scared my mother to death. What should I do if something happens to you..." A Niu's daughter-in-law hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that the child would disappear in the next second.
At this moment, Xiaoxi suddenly felt guilt welling up in his heart.
He shouldn't have suicidal thoughts, and how sad his father and mother would be if he died.
But the self who has become a waste, what face does he have to survive in this world.
As a martial arts practitioner, Zhou Baizhe admired such a filial child the most, although his heart was a little fragile.
It was night, when A Niu's family finally calmed down and accepted the fact, A Niu and his wife put the child to sleep before returning to the bedroom, but that night, the three of them did not sleep well at all.
After Zhou Baizhe saw the family came back, he no longer acted unscrupulously like before. He quietly ordered all the plants to keep their footsteps light so as not to be heard by that A Niu.
After a night, the morning is another beautiful day.
Zhou Baizhe was still woken up by loud voices...
now……
The hunting captain handed the food brought from home to A Niu's wife, "You take these things, I didn't come to see you when I came back late yesterday."
A Niu's daughter-in-law didn't refuse when she saw this, and quickly thanked her after receiving it. Now their family is really difficult and can't even eat. At this time, there is no need to be hypocritical, let alone the child just recovered from a serious illness. More nutrition is needed.
Seeing this, the hunting captain smiled and said to A Niu: "A Niu, you can stay with your wife and children these few days, and don't go out with us. How can you do it if you don't have a supernatural person at home?"
Holding the laser sword, Ah Niu hesitated and said, "Is this not good?"
As the hunting team in the village, their task is to protect the territory within the village's designated safety line, absolutely not allowing those mutated insects to enter the territory. In addition, they must kill some mutated insects every day, preferably A higher order.
All the superhumans in the village need to rely on these high-level mutants to upgrade.
More importantly, the supernatural beings who join the hunting team can get the best resources in the village, including the proceeds from selling these crystal nuclei and mutants, and the hunting team can get nearly half of the interstellar coins.
The family had already spent all their money to buy crystal cores for Xiaoxi, not to mention Xiaoxi’s failure to activate the supernatural powers led to her admission to the hospital. , Only then can Xiaoxi be cured smoothly.
In any case, Ah Niu didn't want to miss a day's work. He needed the benefits of this job to support his family.
Although Ah Niu's daughter-in-law hopes that Ah Niu can stay with her, she really needs someone to accompany her and encourage her.
But on the other hand, the income brought by the hunting team every day should not be underestimated, and A Niu's wife does not want A Niu to miss this day's hunting.
The conflicted and struggling psychology made A Niu's daughter-in-law simply shut up and decided to listen to A Niu's opinion.
After thinking about it, A Niu still felt a little reluctant to give up the benefits of this day's hunting, but when he saw the expectant eyes of the woman he loved the most, he suddenly made a decision.
"Okay, captain, then I won't go today." A Niu endured his heartache and made a choice.
A Niu's daughter-in-law couldn't believe it for a moment, and then burst into tears, she was very moved. She knew how much her husband wanted to go hunting. In fact, as a woman, all she wanted was for a man to treat her well, and this kind of heart was enough.
In the end, A Niu's wife wiped her tears, "Don't worry about us, I will take good care of the child, you should go hunting."
A Niu shook his head suddenly, showing a simple and honest smile, and said to the woman: "I haven't been with you for a long time, at this time, you need me most."
Although Ah Niu looks a bit rough, he is a very careful and responsible husband. During the day he stayed at home, he did not ask his wife to do any work, but let her sit there with the child, and then Started a busy day by myself.
As a passer-by, Zhou Baizhe said that he was very happy today, because he could finally absorb the water sprayed by the automatic watering machine during the day.
The sunlight poured down, reflecting the plants in this field extremely green, with water droplets on each leaf, dripping down from time to time.
On this day, A Niu's daughter-in-law was very happy.
Although the future is extremely difficult, as long as she has her husband and children by her side, she will have infinite courage and motivation to face those difficulties.
A Niu can only cook some simple meals. He walked to the field, glanced at the cabbage field, then glanced at the pepper field, and said strangely: "When we were away, these cabbages were almost dry, but how about those peppers?" Nothing wrong?"
A Niu's daughter-in-law was also very surprised when she heard the words: "What you said is true. I remember that peppers don't seem to be very resistant to drought, but it may have something to do with the lack of water in cabbage."
Ah Niu felt relieved after thinking about it, and no longer struggled with this problem.
Zhou Baizhe, who was pretending to be a very innocent and well-behaved chili pepper, almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words of A Niu and his wife. If it wasn't because he couldn't move, he would have been so shocked that he would have been uprooted by now.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't get to the bottom of it, otherwise he would definitely be exposed before he was able to protect himself.
Good luck.
A Niu went to the cabbage field, dug out a relatively fresh and tender cabbage, then went to the pepper field, glanced at it, and pulled out a certain red pepper, "Today, let's make a chili stir-fry." Meat."
Ah Niu muttered and walked back to the house.
Zhou Baizhe silently stared at the chili pepper that had been stripped of all the chili essence, and unkindly lit a piece of wax for the other party. Fortunately, that person didn't rub himself, otherwise he would definitely lose the chili pepper on his body.
After a while, a spicy smell came from the room, which was so tempting that Zhou Baizhe was drooling in his heart. He didn't know why, as a chili pepper, he could not only see and hear, but even smell the vegetables. It's fragrant, but when I think about it, even my own rebirth has happened. It seems that a pepper can have five senses. It seems quite normal to think about it.
The days passed quietly like this, and A Niu stayed with the children and his wife for three full days, and finally, at the urging of A Niu's wife, followed the hunting team out of the village with a laser sword.
A Niu brought home some meat every day, and A Niu's wife used it to supplement nutrition for the child. In just half a month, the child's thin chin gradually plumped up, and he finally looked less sick. .
For half a month, Xiaoxi would often help A Niu's daughter-in-law to do some things within her capacity, such as watering the vegetable garden, getting something, etc. Perhaps because she didn't have supernatural powers, Xiaoxi hardly had any in this village. So-called friends.
Most of the time except for going to school, the rest of the time he just sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it's because he's too lonely, a child who's only in his teens, and when he's more active, having no friends makes Xiaoxi look unhappy every day, talking to himself with his chin in the vegetable field.
And those words all entered Zhou Baizhe's ears.
"No matter how good I am at studying, people still don't like to play with me, because I don't have abilities, they all think I'm useless, I'm a waste, I don't know what to do, why I don't have abilities."
"It would be great if I had supernatural powers. I could protect my family and this village. Maybe I could leave this planet to see the outside world."
At the very beginning, Zhou Baizhe was also very interested in Xiaoxi's soliloquy because of boredom, but after a long time, he found that Xiaoxi was always talking about those things over and over again, and soon he felt a little boring.
Don't you get tired of saying this over and over every day?
Zhou Baizhe almost wanted to uproot him, and yelled at Xiaoxi, what's the use of complaining about himself every day, if he doesn't want this kind of life, then find a way to change it, what's the use of rambling every day?
Of course, Zhou Baizhe knew that Xiaoxi was just a child, and his world was only as big as this village. Xiaoxi should not be blamed for this. In fact, Xiaoxi has done a very good job. After all, in this world where force is the strongest, a weak person can One can imagine how much grievance will be suffered.
At this moment, Xiaoxi held her chin again, and continued talking to herself while facing the vegetable field. After a while, Zhou Baizhe, who was still in high spirits, fell asleep and couldn't help yawning inwardly.
He discovered for the first time that Xiaoxi has a talent for hypnosis. Before that, only an English teacher could make him fall asleep within 5 minutes, but Xiaoxi is better than blue, and it only takes 3 minutes to make him fall asleep. meaning.
After talking about all the anguish in his heart, Xiaoxi seemed to have thought of something, and muttered: "Yesterday my father said that the hunting team killed three first-level mutants together, but many people were slightly injured. scared."
As he said that, Xiaoxi's face showed confusion, "Isn't it normal to be injured by killing mutant insects? Why are people in the village panicking?"
Xiaoxi's voice was not loud, but Zhou Baizhe couldn't help but feel a chill from this news, and his sleepiness disappeared. The hunting team actually killed three mutants yesterday?
Then this means... There are now three more first-level crystal nuclei in the village.
Should he find a way to steal those crystal nuclei, as long as he has the crystal nuclei, he can become stronger, and he can also use the mall as a golden finger to kill those mutants and compensate those villagers.
After all, he can't do anything to take advantage of others. If he takes something from someone, he will definitely return it.
It's just that his mental power is not strong enough now, and he can't control the plants to walk 200 meters or even farther.
The method of stealing the crystal core obviously won't work. Thinking of this, Zhou Baizhe couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But no matter what, Zhou Baizhe never imagined what a terrible thing this village would face the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Zhou Baizhe vaguely felt that the villagers were a little panicked, and they looked very panicked, as if they knew something terrible was about to happen.
Immediately, Zhou Baizhe couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, feeling that his guess just now was a bit absurd. This village looks peaceful and peaceful, what else could make all the villagers feel like they are facing an enemy?
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Baizhe couldn't laugh for a second.
Because today the hunter team went out with seven people, but only one person came back, and was seriously injured. He climbed back with his last breath. The villagers were extremely panicked and rushed to give emergency treatment to the hunter.
, everyone's face was full of panic and fear, and some people were shocked and trembling when they saw that the others hadn't come back.
Hunters who fail to come back can only have one fate, and that is...
The hunter tightly grasped the village chief's hand, and said with difficulty: "Village, the village chief, and everyone else are all dead. If they hadn't tried their best to protect me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Even though the village chief had guessed the result long ago, he still trembled all over his body, as if he had aged ten years. The family members of the hunters collapsed in an instant, slumped on the ground, with despairing expressions on their faces.
Although they have known for a long time that joining the hunting team, as family members, they must be prepared for the sacrifice of their loved ones at any time, but when this day comes, they find that they still cannot resist the despair and panic brought about by this news.
It's like... the sky is falling.
It's as if I've lost my motivation to live.
The villagers couldn't help feeling a little sad and silent, only the cries of those family members were in the air, but as the only hunter who survived but was about to die soon, he didn't have time to apologize to those family members, because he wanted the most important Report the news to the village chief.
"Village, village chief, the insect swarm is coming, and... and..." The hunter suddenly became emotional, as if thinking of some terrible scene, his whole face was distorted and frightened.
The village head trembled in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "What else?"
"And..." The hunter suddenly yelled in horror, and then completely stopped moving.
The village doctor quickly tested it, and finally said: "It's hopeless, he came back with his last breath, just now he was too terrified, and he couldn't hold it..."
As soon as the words fell, the village doctor couldn't help sighing, and the village head shook his hands, looked around at the villagers who were already shocked by the news of the insect swarm, and said loudly: "Shut up!"
The village chief's shout immediately made the villagers silent, but everyone's eyes were still full of panic and despair. You must know that it was a bug swarm. It was so terrifying that it almost made people shudder.
The village chief knew that when everyone was flustered, he had to suppress everyone's fear, make preparations as soon as possible, and fight against the insect swarm with all his strength!
Afterwards, the village chief quickly deployed and issued orders one by one. All the supernatural beings in the village armed themselves and waited for the village chief's order.
With the village chief as the backbone, everyone gradually calmed down. Although they still had unavoidable fear of the insect swarm, they could only bite the bullet.
A guard who looked younger couldn't help but said to the village chief: "Village chief, why don't we move the village and insist on staying here? Do we have to sacrifice these innocent people just to protect this village? It's a big deal. The bug swarm is over, we'll come back."
The young and energetic guardian thinks his idea is very good. Since we feel that the bug swarm is terrible, why do we have to fight it? Can't we learn to be flexible and escape for a while?
The hunting captain immediately kicked the guard and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, don't add chaos to the village."
The guard was very unconvinced, but because of the strength of the hunting captain, he could only hold back his anger for the time being.
But the village chief couldn't help shaking his head, and said to the hunting captain: "You, you always have such a bad temper. Before I said anything, you kicked this child."
The hunting captain sneered, "If I don't suspect him, he won't know how bad his idea is."
The guard was young and energetic, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Don't think that you are a member of the hunting team, and you are a head taller than our guard team. Everyone is protecting the village. I don't agree with you kicking me like this."
"Then I'll beat you to death!" The hunting captain suddenly revealed his fierce look and glared at him.
Although the guards also protect the village, they can't compare to the hunting captain who fights with bugs in the hunting area every day. He was a little scared at once, but he still gritted his teeth, for fear that if he showed a little fear, he would be unable to stand in front of everyone in the future. looked up.
The village chief shook his head and quickly stopped him, "That's enough, the bug swarm is coming soon, why are you fighting among yourself?"
The hunter spat, "Hey, if the village chief hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten you so hard that you couldn't even recognize yourself."
Maybe it's because he has to face the crisis of bugs for many years, and the threat of death is always present, which makes this hunter extremely fierce, even a little vulgar.
It seems that only in this way can I feel that I am still alive.
The guards were still very unconvinced, and the other guards also showed anger. The guards and the hunters seemed to dislike each other by nature, and the contradictions between them had been secretly breeding for a long time.
"Captain hunting, please tell the guards the reason." The village chief also knew that the two teams were not fighting, but this time, he was on the side of the hunters.
"Yes, village chief." The hunter nodded respectfully to the village, and then turned to sneer at the unconvinced guards: "Aren't you unconvinced? Think it's a good idea to relocate people in the village? I think you really My brain was eaten by bugs!"
"Everyone is a supernatural being, don't always think that you are a head taller than us!" The captain of the guards hadn't spoken at first, but seeing the attitude of the hunting captain getting more and more excessive, he said angrily.
Seeing their captains all come out to hate each other, the guards immediately became more confident, and all of them glared at the hunters.
The hunter captain still kept a sneer, and said: "I know you have always thought that the guards and the hunters are the same to protect the village. We hunters must not be able to guarantee that those mutants will not enter the village, so to protect the people in the village, It becomes your responsibility, and if there is anything in the village, everyone will ask you for help."
After saying these words, the guards showed pride and agreed very much. Although they felt strange in their hearts, the hunters who had always been against them changed their attitude and praised them?
Only the captain of the guardian always felt in his heart that the other party must still be holding back bad moves.
What the hunting captain said next immediately confirmed the guess of the captain of the guards.
"But I want to tell you, don't think that you are so great. We have never opposed you. We just don't like the way you think that your credit is greater than ours. Let me tell you, if you join the hunting team , I guarantee that none of you will come back."
The guards immediately exploded at this statement, feeling extremely absurd, everyone is a supernatural being, [Why are you better than us?
The hunter captain glanced coldly at the crowd, then called out the youngest person in his team, and said, "Come on, kid, tell them why we can't leave."
The hunter who was called out was a little cautious, and said nervously: "Although those bugs are here to plunder resources and eat everything, don't look at them as smart as us, but they should not be underestimated. If we escape, they will find us. No matter how far they escape, even if they are exhausted, they will still find us and kill us, because the crystal nucleus of our supernatural beings can also make them upgrade."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the villagers and guards changed in disbelief.
Why has this never been said before?
"So, if we escape, we will only consume a lot of physical strength in the running for our lives, and die faster instead, so we must stick to this village. In addition, many buildings in this village are actually very strong, and there are so many With more traps, the chance of survival must be greater than that of escaping." After the hunter finished speaking, he retreated nervously and stopped talking.
This news was like a bomb, it blasted everyone into a blank, and it was unacceptable for a long time.
It turned out that the bugs would hunt and kill us endlessly.
It turns out...we also have the crystal nuclei they need.
It turns out that bugs need our crystal cores to upgrade.
No wonder those bugs always eat those supernatural beings, especially those with higher levels are more vulnerable to bug swarms, and there is an explanation for all of this.
"Then what should we do?"
"You guards, when you patrol the village, you have more chances of encountering mutated insects than us. We almost have to fight with insects to the death every day. Now you know why I am angry? Because of the idea you came up with , It stinks worse than bugs." The hunting captain put his arms around and sneered.
Although the hunting captain's words were very ugly, no one could refute them, because what the hunting captain said was correct.
So although the guards were not angry, they didn't hate the hunter any more. Instead, they looked at the village chief and said worriedly: "Village chief, this is a bug swarm. Our village hasn't encountered a bug swarm for ten years. Can we... really carry it through?"
Can you carry it through?
The village chief doesn't know, and no one knows if it can be done. They only know that the last bug swarm had only more than 100 first-class bugs, which almost destroyed the village. So what will happen to this bug swarm? What about the scale?
And all of this happened to be heard by Zhou Bai at the side, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Even a person like him who had never experienced insect swarms knew that it would be terrible.
This is like the ancient earth, how many animals would rather provoke lions than those densely packed man-eating ants, because of their excessive numbers and the ever-flowing crowd tactics, no matter how powerful the animal is, it will still tragic death.
Everyone in the village began to turn precisely like clockwork, armed with everything that could attack, and tried their best to lay traps in all places, killing one by one, and never let those bugs go.
Worms hold grudges extremely, if one is let go, sooner or later, as long as it becomes stronger, it will come back for revenge.
This is why many people are afraid to provoke a powerful bug, but they are eager for its crystal nucleus.
It was night, when everything was quiet, the villagers spontaneously came to the entrance of the village, their eyes were solemn, and the village chief was not asleep, looking around at these villagers with different faces, he said loudly: "Go back to sleep tonight, how can you sleep if you don't sleep well?" Come and fight the bugs."
Although this is what he said, but since everyone knows that the bug swarm will come tomorrow, how can they sleep well.
Besides, when so many people gather together, they always feel safer than living in their own home. You must know that it is a bug swarm. How many villages, even cities, and planets have been destroyed by those disgusting bugs.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the village chief asked everyone to make a floor to avoid catching cold at night. The automatic lights were suspended in the air, illuminating every place as if it were daytime.
Bugs don't affect their actions in the dark, and the goal of those bugs is to plunder the resources of this village, so it doesn't matter whether they turn on the lights or not.
Light is always the best weapon to drive out darkness, and with so many people around, the sense of security increases even more. Although we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, everyone gradually calms down, relaxes, and feels drowsy. Then it struck, and gradually, many people closed their eyes...
Although everyone was asleep, the village chief was still awake. He looked into the distance, as if he was watching something, full of hatred.
"Those damned bugs."
Ten years ago, the village suffered from an insect infestation. I don’t know how many people died in that battle. The insects almost spared nothing, all vegetables and even all resources, as well as human beings.
They are like greedy gluttons, they can never be filled, and wherever they go, not a single blade of grass grows.
Where did the mutants come from, and why are they so terrifying.
These are questions that humans have studied for a long time, but will never be able to understand.
But everyone knows that mutants must not be allowed to continue to reproduce, otherwise sooner or later, there will be no place for humans to live.
"I don't know how many people will die tomorrow." The village chief murmured.
The hunter captain on the side couldn't help looking away, as if he remembered the bug he killed for the first time a long time ago. It was ugly and smelly. It was a reptile with several legs. Although it couldn't fly, But it has the ability to walk on the ground.
He almost died before he killed the worm. It was because of the worm's crystal nucleus that he advanced to become a second-level supernatural being, and he was also the most powerful existence in this village.
But ten years ago, there was a third-level ability user in the village, but unfortunately, he died in the hands of a second-level mutant. No one knew why that bug was able to leapfrog and kill a third-level ability user.
However, even though the village paid a great price to kill all the bugs, the third-level bug still escaped and disappeared.
"Village chief, did that bug come back for revenge ten years ago?" the hunter captain couldn't help asking.
The village chief trembled all over, and tremblingly said: "I don't know, I just hope that it doesn't come back, otherwise, the village will really be over."
Ten years ago, it was already so powerful at the third level, and ten years later, it will definitely be even more powerful.
The hunter captain fell silent for an instant, and clenched his fists tightly. No matter what, even if he died, he would definitely protect the village until he died.
The world where Zhou Baizhe took root happened to be very close to the entrance of the village. When he looked into the distance, he always felt that in the invisible night, there were countless fangs that were about to move. Especially when night fell, there would always be some weird screams. The sound came out, and it was unknown what kind of creature it was, but those screams finally turned into a mournful cry and disappeared completely.
Zhou Baizhe's heart sank instantly, and he became more and more uneasy about tomorrow.
The villagers don't know if they are used to it, or because there are so many people gathered together. At most, everyone's face is heavy and frightened, and no one is so nervous that they collapse. Now all the women and children, including the elderly, are separated. Sent into the strongest and most hidden cellar.
"I hope those bugs won't find the cellar, otherwise..." a villager worried.
"It's just a matter of luck. Fortunately, the village head is smart and didn't let all the women and children hide in the same cellar. If they are discovered, they will be taken away by the whole family." Another villager sighed.
"I hope the bugs that come tomorrow won't be able to smell the traces of humans."
This is what all the villagers prayed for. Their wives and children, even their parents, hid in the cellars one by one, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to fight back.
Just thinking about it,
In an instant, the round object quickly rose into the air, spraying water automatically, completely watering every inch of land and every plant in the field.
The originally somewhat dry land gradually became moist, and the color changed from khaki to dark brown. Although there will be no changes in these plants for a while, I believe that in a few days, these plants will be able to regain their vitality.
Zhou Baizhe instinctively began to desperately absorb the water in the land. This feeling was quite strange. He was obviously not a plant, but he was very familiar with photosynthesis and water absorption, and did not need any practice at all.
After a while, Zhou Baizhe was finally satisfied, the whole leaf looked extremely moist.
After 10 minutes, Zhou Baizhe guessed that it was almost done, so he ordered the pepper boys to put the watering device back to its original place, and then let them bury themselves in the original pit to eliminate all evidence of crime.
In the early morning, the sun shines on this rich but dangerous planet. The soldiers in the village are all ready, wearing combat uniforms and carrying laser swords, and set off to the extremely dangerous world in the distance.
Zhou Baizhe became more and more curious about the outside world, and at the same time, he was extremely eager for the crystal nuclei brought back by those soldiers every day. He reckoned that people in this village should have accumulated a lot of such crystal nuclei, but he didn't know that the village chief put these crystal nuclei Where.
At the same time, after the crisis of hunger and thirst, Zhou Baizhe could finally calm down and think about how to get those crystal nuclei, and at the same time, he did not forget to use his mental power to control those plants to perform some simple actions every night when the night was quiet.
Although this kind of life is a little boring, but he was also a martial arts practitioner in his previous life, and he has long been used to this kind of lonely life, practicing the basic skills repeatedly every day, firmly believing that hard work can make himself better.
Time is fleeting, quietly passing half a month.
This half month is enough for Zhou Baizhe to develop five more pepper boys. More importantly, he is more proficient in manipulating plants than before. Often, these ten pepper boys can perform simple things when a thought flashes through them.
It is much better than when I could only do some simple things before.
Just doing this consumes a lot of his mental power, but after every consumption, his mental power will improve a lot.
At the same time, he also eavesdropped on these people's conversations for half a month, and finally pieced together a general understanding of the world.
In this world, 21 years have passed since the 2000st century. Nowadays, technological civilization and supernatural powers have made human development flourish.
This news shocked Zhou Baizhe for a long time. No matter what, he never thought that he was reborn in the world after 2000. No wonder the technological civilization of this world is obviously higher than that of the earth, even though this planet is a backward and abandoned place.
In addition, he also learned that the source of those crystal nuclei is obtained from the skulls of those called mutants. The crystal nuclei of mutants can be used as abilities to upgrade and purify abilities, while the big bugs Body, which can also be crafted into many items.
Most of the people in this village live by selling the crystal nucleus and the body of the big bug. Every two months, the village will send out a small team with these things and various items accumulated by every household. Take it to the outside world to sell, and help bring back some daily necessities.
This planet is too remote and backward, without any interstellar navigation routes, but every two months, a private interstellar ship will pass by here, and the only way for the village to connect to the outside world is through this interstellar ship.
However, even knowing that this world is a world two thousand years later is useless, because even if he has a powerful golden finger, he is still in a very difficult and disadvantaged state.
Because he is a pepper, the root grows in the soil, which greatly limits the possibility of him using force to kill insects to obtain crystal nuclei. In addition, he currently has no crystal nuclei to exchange for items in the mall.
What should he do?
Zhou Baizhe felt a little anxious, as if all the doors and windows God had left for him were closed.
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, surrounded by three people, and Zhou Baizhe recognized in an instant that they were A Niu's family.
A Niu was holding a child in his arms. The child was pale and lifeless, leaning softly in A Niu's arms, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost the motivation to live.
A Niu's daughter-in-law wiped her tears from time to time, feeling sad and painful. Many villagers looked unbearable, obviously sympathizing with the family.
Zhou Baizhe pondered for a while, and instantly understood what was going on.
It is estimated that the child has really become a useless person.
The desperate cries of A Niu's daughter-in-law made everyone even more unbearable. As the head of the family, A Niu could only hold the child in his arms tightly and suppress all the pain in his heart.
The villagers helped to send the three people into the house, and kindly sent some food for their family, hoping that the family could tide over the difficulties.
A Niu endured his grief and thanked everyone. Everyone knew that the family needed a quiet space, so they hurriedly comforted them and left one after another. Before leaving, the village chief said to A Niu: "Remember to tell me if you have anything to do. I can help you." I will definitely find a way."
With tears in A Niu's eyes, he said with restraint, "Thank you..."
The village chief's thousands of words finally turned into a sigh, patted A Niu on the shoulder and left. After A Niu's daughter-in-law saw that everyone had left, she couldn't help it anymore, and immediately sat on the ground holding the child and crying loudly. Crying, there is no image at all.
But this kind of her, although she looked very embarrassed, made people feel hopeless and distressed, and Zhou Baizhe couldn't bear to look at her from the side.
Maternal love can always poke the deepest weakness in the human heart.
Xiaoxi was awakened by this sad cry, and she woke up leisurely. Seeing this, she was a little at a loss, so she could only comfort her and said: "Mother, don't cry, I'm fine, it's just..." The words paused slightly , a little desperately said: "I failed to activate the ability, I can no longer protect you."
In such a world full of dangers, he can only be a useless person, protected by his parents under the wings. The troop went out to explore.
As for him, he has become a waste that is even worse than ordinary people.
To live is always to cause trouble to others, and it is an out-and-out burden. At this moment, a young man who has not experienced too much, has a sudden thought of suicide in his heart.
"Xiaoxi, you scared my mother to death. What should I do if something happens to you..." A Niu's daughter-in-law hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that the child would disappear in the next second.
At this moment, Xiaoxi suddenly felt guilt welling up in his heart.
He shouldn't have suicidal thoughts, and how sad his father and mother would be if he died.
But the self who has become a waste, what face does he have to survive in this world.
As a martial arts practitioner, Zhou Baizhe admired such a filial child the most, although his heart was a little fragile.
It was night, when A Niu's family finally calmed down and accepted the fact, A Niu and his wife put the child to sleep before returning to the bedroom, but that night, the three of them did not sleep well at all.
After Zhou Baizhe saw the family came back, he no longer acted unscrupulously like before. He quietly ordered all the plants to keep their footsteps light so as not to be heard by that A Niu.
After a night, the morning is another beautiful day.
Zhou Baizhe was still woken up by loud voices...
now……
The hunting captain handed the food brought from home to A Niu's wife, "You take these things, I didn't come to see you when I came back late yesterday."
A Niu's daughter-in-law didn't refuse when she saw this, and quickly thanked her after receiving it. Now their family is really difficult and can't even eat. At this time, there is no need to be hypocritical, let alone the child just recovered from a serious illness. More nutrition is needed.
Seeing this, the hunting captain smiled and said to A Niu: "A Niu, you can stay with your wife and children these few days, and don't go out with us. How can you do it if you don't have a supernatural person at home?"
Holding the laser sword, Ah Niu hesitated and said, "Is this not good?"
As the hunting team in the village, their task is to protect the territory within the village's designated safety line, absolutely not allowing those mutated insects to enter the territory. In addition, they must kill some mutated insects every day, preferably A higher order.
All the superhumans in the village need to rely on these high-level mutants to upgrade.
More importantly, the supernatural beings who join the hunting team can get the best resources in the village, including the proceeds from selling these crystal nuclei and mutants, and the hunting team can get nearly half of the interstellar coins.
The family had already spent all their money to buy crystal cores for Xiaoxi, not to mention Xiaoxi’s failure to activate the supernatural powers led to her admission to the hospital. , Only then can Xiaoxi be cured smoothly.
In any case, Ah Niu didn't want to miss a day's work. He needed the benefits of this job to support his family.
Although Ah Niu's daughter-in-law hopes that Ah Niu can stay with her, she really needs someone to accompany her and encourage her.
But on the other hand, the income brought by the hunting team every day should not be underestimated, and A Niu's wife does not want A Niu to miss this day's hunting.
The conflicted and struggling psychology made A Niu's daughter-in-law simply shut up and decided to listen to A Niu's opinion.
After thinking about it, A Niu still felt a little reluctant to give up the benefits of this day's hunting, but when he saw the expectant eyes of the woman he loved the most, he suddenly made a decision.
"Okay, captain, then I won't go today." A Niu endured his heartache and made a choice.
A Niu's daughter-in-law couldn't believe it for a moment, and then burst into tears, she was very moved. She knew how much her husband wanted to go hunting. In fact, as a woman, all she wanted was for a man to treat her well, and this kind of heart was enough.
In the end, A Niu's wife wiped her tears, "Don't worry about us, I will take good care of the child, you should go hunting."
A Niu shook his head suddenly, showing a simple and honest smile, and said to the woman: "I haven't been with you for a long time, at this time, you need me most."
Although Ah Niu looks a bit rough, he is a very careful and responsible husband. During the day he stayed at home, he did not ask his wife to do any work, but let her sit there with the child, and then Started a busy day by myself.
As a passer-by, Zhou Baizhe said that he was very happy today, because he could finally absorb the water sprayed by the automatic watering machine during the day.
The sunlight poured down, reflecting the plants in this field extremely green, with water droplets on each leaf, dripping down from time to time.
On this day, A Niu's daughter-in-law was very happy.
Although the future is extremely difficult, as long as she has her husband and children by her side, she will have infinite courage and motivation to face those difficulties.
A Niu can only cook some simple meals. He walked to the field, glanced at the cabbage field, then glanced at the pepper field, and said strangely: "When we were away, these cabbages were almost dry, but how about those peppers?" Nothing wrong?"
A Niu's daughter-in-law was also very surprised when she heard the words: "What you said is true. I remember that peppers don't seem to be very resistant to drought, but it may have something to do with the lack of water in cabbage."
Ah Niu felt relieved after thinking about it, and no longer struggled with this problem.
Zhou Baizhe, who was pretending to be a very innocent and well-behaved chili pepper, almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words of A Niu and his wife. If it wasn't because he couldn't move, he would have been so shocked that he would have been uprooted by now.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't get to the bottom of it, otherwise he would definitely be exposed before he was able to protect himself.
Good luck.
A Niu went to the cabbage field, dug out a relatively fresh and tender cabbage, then went to the pepper field, glanced at it, and pulled out a certain red pepper, "Today, let's make a chili stir-fry." Meat."
Ah Niu muttered and walked back to the house.
Zhou Baizhe silently stared at the chili pepper that had been stripped of all the chili essence, and unkindly lit a piece of wax for the other party. Fortunately, that person didn't rub himself, otherwise he would definitely lose the chili pepper on his body.
After a while, a spicy smell came from the room, which was so tempting that Zhou Baizhe was drooling in his heart. He didn't know why, as a chili pepper, he could not only see and hear, but even smell the vegetables. It's fragrant, but when I think about it, even my own rebirth has happened. It seems that a pepper can have five senses. It seems quite normal to think about it.
The days passed quietly like this, and A Niu stayed with the children and his wife for three full days, and finally, at the urging of A Niu's wife, followed the hunting team out of the village with a laser sword.
A Niu brought home some meat every day, and A Niu's wife used it to supplement nutrition for the child. In just half a month, the child's thin chin gradually plumped up, and he finally looked less sick. .
For half a month, Xiaoxi would often help A Niu's daughter-in-law to do some things within her capacity, such as watering the vegetable garden, getting something, etc. Perhaps because she didn't have supernatural powers, Xiaoxi hardly had any in this village. So-called friends.
Most of the time except for going to school, the rest of the time he just sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it's because he's too lonely, a child who's only in his teens, and when he's more active, having no friends makes Xiaoxi look unhappy every day, talking to himself with his chin in the vegetable field.
And those words all entered Zhou Baizhe's ears.
"No matter how good I am at studying, people still don't like to play with me, because I don't have abilities, they all think I'm useless, I'm a waste, I don't know what to do, why I don't have abilities."
"It would be great if I had supernatural powers. I could protect my family and this village. Maybe I could leave this planet to see the outside world."
At the very beginning, Zhou Baizhe was also very interested in Xiaoxi's soliloquy because of boredom, but after a long time, he found that Xiaoxi was always talking about those things over and over again, and soon he felt a little boring.
Don't you get tired of saying this over and over every day?
Zhou Baizhe almost wanted to uproot him, and yelled at Xiaoxi, what's the use of complaining about himself every day, if he doesn't want this kind of life, then find a way to change it, what's the use of rambling every day?
Of course, Zhou Baizhe knew that Xiaoxi was just a child, and his world was only as big as this village. Xiaoxi should not be blamed for this. In fact, Xiaoxi has done a very good job. After all, in this world where force is the strongest, a weak person can One can imagine how much grievance will be suffered.
At this moment, Xiaoxi held her chin again, and continued talking to herself while facing the vegetable field. After a while, Zhou Baizhe, who was still in high spirits, fell asleep and couldn't help yawning inwardly.
He discovered for the first time that Xiaoxi has a talent for hypnosis. Before that, only an English teacher could make him fall asleep within 5 minutes, but Xiaoxi is better than blue, and it only takes 3 minutes to make him fall asleep. meaning.
After talking about all the anguish in his heart, Xiaoxi seemed to have thought of something, and muttered: "Yesterday my father said that the hunting team killed three first-level mutants together, but many people were slightly injured. scared."
As he said that, Xiaoxi's face showed confusion, "Isn't it normal to be injured by killing mutant insects? Why are people in the village panicking?"
Xiaoxi's voice was not loud, but Zhou Baizhe couldn't help but feel a chill from this news, and his sleepiness disappeared. The hunting team actually killed three mutants yesterday?
Then this means... There are now three more first-level crystal nuclei in the village.
Should he find a way to steal those crystal nuclei, as long as he has the crystal nuclei, he can become stronger, and he can also use the mall as a golden finger to kill those mutants and compensate those villagers.
After all, he can't do anything to take advantage of others. If he takes something from someone, he will definitely return it.
It's just that his mental power is not strong enough now, and he can't control the plants to walk 200 meters or even farther.
The method of stealing the crystal core obviously won't work. Thinking of this, Zhou Baizhe couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But no matter what, Zhou Baizhe never imagined what a terrible thing this village would face the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Zhou Baizhe vaguely felt that the villagers were a little panicked, and they looked very panicked, as if they knew something terrible was about to happen.
Immediately, Zhou Baizhe couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, feeling that his guess just now was a bit absurd. This village looks peaceful and peaceful, what else could make all the villagers feel like they are facing an enemy?
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Baizhe couldn't laugh for a second.
Because today the hunter team went out with seven people, but only one person came back, and was seriously injured. He climbed back with his last breath. The villagers were extremely panicked and rushed to give emergency treatment to the hunter.
, everyone's face was full of panic and fear, and some people were shocked and trembling when they saw that the others hadn't come back.
Hunters who fail to come back can only have one fate, and that is...
The hunter tightly grasped the village chief's hand, and said with difficulty: "Village, the village chief, and everyone else are all dead. If they hadn't tried their best to protect me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Even though the village chief had guessed the result long ago, he still trembled all over his body, as if he had aged ten years. The family members of the hunters collapsed in an instant, slumped on the ground, with despairing expressions on their faces.
Although they have known for a long time that joining the hunting team, as family members, they must be prepared for the sacrifice of their loved ones at any time, but when this day comes, they find that they still cannot resist the despair and panic brought about by this news.
It's like... the sky is falling.
It's as if I've lost my motivation to live.
The villagers couldn't help feeling a little sad and silent, only the cries of those family members were in the air, but as the only hunter who survived but was about to die soon, he didn't have time to apologize to those family members, because he wanted the most important Report the news to the village chief.
"Village, village chief, the insect swarm is coming, and... and..." The hunter suddenly became emotional, as if thinking of some terrible scene, his whole face was distorted and frightened.
The village head trembled in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "What else?"
"And..." The hunter suddenly yelled in horror, and then completely stopped moving.
The village doctor quickly tested it, and finally said: "It's hopeless, he came back with his last breath, just now he was too terrified, and he couldn't hold it..."
As soon as the words fell, the village doctor couldn't help sighing, and the village head shook his hands, looked around at the villagers who were already shocked by the news of the insect swarm, and said loudly: "Shut up!"
The village chief's shout immediately made the villagers silent, but everyone's eyes were still full of panic and despair. You must know that it was a bug swarm. It was so terrifying that it almost made people shudder.
The village chief knew that when everyone was flustered, he had to suppress everyone's fear, make preparations as soon as possible, and fight against the insect swarm with all his strength!
Afterwards, the village chief quickly deployed and issued orders one by one. All the supernatural beings in the village armed themselves and waited for the village chief's order.
With the village chief as the backbone, everyone gradually calmed down. Although they still had unavoidable fear of the insect swarm, they could only bite the bullet.
A guard who looked younger couldn't help but said to the village chief: "Village chief, why don't we move the village and insist on staying here? Do we have to sacrifice these innocent people just to protect this village? It's a big deal. The bug swarm is over, we'll come back."
The young and energetic guardian thinks his idea is very good. Since we feel that the bug swarm is terrible, why do we have to fight it? Can't we learn to be flexible and escape for a while?
The hunting captain immediately kicked the guard and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, don't add chaos to the village."
The guard was very unconvinced, but because of the strength of the hunting captain, he could only hold back his anger for the time being.
But the village chief couldn't help shaking his head, and said to the hunting captain: "You, you always have such a bad temper. Before I said anything, you kicked this child."
The hunting captain sneered, "If I don't suspect him, he won't know how bad his idea is."
The guard was young and energetic, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Don't think that you are a member of the hunting team, and you are a head taller than our guard team. Everyone is protecting the village. I don't agree with you kicking me like this."
"Then I'll beat you to death!" The hunting captain suddenly revealed his fierce look and glared at him.
Although the guards also protect the village, they can't compare to the hunting captain who fights with bugs in the hunting area every day. He was a little scared at once, but he still gritted his teeth, for fear that if he showed a little fear, he would be unable to stand in front of everyone in the future. looked up.
The village chief shook his head and quickly stopped him, "That's enough, the bug swarm is coming soon, why are you fighting among yourself?"
The hunter spat, "Hey, if the village chief hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten you so hard that you couldn't even recognize yourself."
Maybe it's because he has to face the crisis of bugs for many years, and the threat of death is always present, which makes this hunter extremely fierce, even a little vulgar.
It seems that only in this way can I feel that I am still alive.
The guards were still very unconvinced, and the other guards also showed anger. The guards and the hunters seemed to dislike each other by nature, and the contradictions between them had been secretly breeding for a long time.
"Captain hunting, please tell the guards the reason." The village chief also knew that the two teams were not fighting, but this time, he was on the side of the hunters.
"Yes, village chief." The hunter nodded respectfully to the village, and then turned to sneer at the unconvinced guards: "Aren't you unconvinced? Think it's a good idea to relocate people in the village? I think you really My brain was eaten by bugs!"
"Everyone is a supernatural being, don't always think that you are a head taller than us!" The captain of the guards hadn't spoken at first, but seeing the attitude of the hunting captain getting more and more excessive, he said angrily.
Seeing their captains all come out to hate each other, the guards immediately became more confident, and all of them glared at the hunters.
The hunter captain still kept a sneer, and said: "I know you have always thought that the guards and the hunters are the same to protect the village. We hunters must not be able to guarantee that those mutants will not enter the village, so to protect the people in the village, It becomes your responsibility, and if there is anything in the village, everyone will ask you for help."
After saying these words, the guards showed pride and agreed very much. Although they felt strange in their hearts, the hunters who had always been against them changed their attitude and praised them?
Only the captain of the guardian always felt in his heart that the other party must still be holding back bad moves.
What the hunting captain said next immediately confirmed the guess of the captain of the guards.
"But I want to tell you, don't think that you are so great. We have never opposed you. We just don't like the way you think that your credit is greater than ours. Let me tell you, if you join the hunting team , I guarantee that none of you will come back."
The guards immediately exploded at this statement, feeling extremely absurd, everyone is a supernatural being, [Why are you better than us?
The hunter captain glanced coldly at the crowd, then called out the youngest person in his team, and said, "Come on, kid, tell them why we can't leave."
The hunter who was called out was a little cautious, and said nervously: "Although those bugs are here to plunder resources and eat everything, don't look at them as smart as us, but they should not be underestimated. If we escape, they will find us. No matter how far they escape, even if they are exhausted, they will still find us and kill us, because the crystal nucleus of our supernatural beings can also make them upgrade."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the villagers and guards changed in disbelief.
Why has this never been said before?
"So, if we escape, we will only consume a lot of physical strength in the running for our lives, and die faster instead, so we must stick to this village. In addition, many buildings in this village are actually very strong, and there are so many With more traps, the chance of survival must be greater than that of escaping." After the hunter finished speaking, he retreated nervously and stopped talking.
This news was like a bomb, it blasted everyone into a blank, and it was unacceptable for a long time.
It turned out that the bugs would hunt and kill us endlessly.
It turns out...we also have the crystal nuclei they need.
It turns out that bugs need our crystal cores to upgrade.
No wonder those bugs always eat those supernatural beings, especially those with higher levels are more vulnerable to bug swarms, and there is an explanation for all of this.
"Then what should we do?"
"You guards, when you patrol the village, you have more chances of encountering mutated insects than us. We almost have to fight with insects to the death every day. Now you know why I am angry? Because of the idea you came up with , It stinks worse than bugs." The hunting captain put his arms around and sneered.
Although the hunting captain's words were very ugly, no one could refute them, because what the hunting captain said was correct.
So although the guards were not angry, they didn't hate the hunter any more. Instead, they looked at the village chief and said worriedly: "Village chief, this is a bug swarm. Our village hasn't encountered a bug swarm for ten years. Can we... really carry it through?"
Can you carry it through?
The village chief doesn't know, and no one knows if it can be done. They only know that the last bug swarm had only more than 100 first-class bugs, which almost destroyed the village. So what will happen to this bug swarm? What about the scale?
And all of this happened to be heard by Zhou Bai at the side, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Even a person like him who had never experienced insect swarms knew that it would be terrible.
This is like the ancient earth, how many animals would rather provoke lions than those densely packed man-eating ants, because of their excessive numbers and the ever-flowing crowd tactics, no matter how powerful the animal is, it will still tragic death.
Everyone in the village began to turn precisely like clockwork, armed with everything that could attack, and tried their best to lay traps in all places, killing one by one, and never let those bugs go.
Worms hold grudges extremely, if one is let go, sooner or later, as long as it becomes stronger, it will come back for revenge.
This is why many people are afraid to provoke a powerful bug, but they are eager for its crystal nucleus.
It was night, when everything was quiet, the villagers spontaneously came to the entrance of the village, their eyes were solemn, and the village chief was not asleep, looking around at these villagers with different faces, he said loudly: "Go back to sleep tonight, how can you sleep if you don't sleep well?" Come and fight the bugs."
Although this is what he said, but since everyone knows that the bug swarm will come tomorrow, how can they sleep well.
Besides, when so many people gather together, they always feel safer than living in their own home. You must know that it is a bug swarm. How many villages, even cities, and planets have been destroyed by those disgusting bugs.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the village chief asked everyone to make a floor to avoid catching cold at night. The automatic lights were suspended in the air, illuminating every place as if it were daytime.
Bugs don't affect their actions in the dark, and the goal of those bugs is to plunder the resources of this village, so it doesn't matter whether they turn on the lights or not.
Light is always the best weapon to drive out darkness, and with so many people around, the sense of security increases even more. Although we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, everyone gradually calms down, relaxes, and feels drowsy. Then it struck, and gradually, many people closed their eyes...
Although everyone was asleep, the village chief was still awake. He looked into the distance, as if he was watching something, full of hatred.
"Those damned bugs."
Ten years ago, the village suffered from an insect infestation. I don’t know how many people died in that battle. The insects almost spared nothing, all vegetables and even all resources, as well as human beings.
They are like greedy gluttons, they can never be filled, and wherever they go, not a single blade of grass grows.
Where did the mutants come from, and why are they so terrifying.
These are questions that humans have studied for a long time, but will never be able to understand.
But everyone knows that mutants must not be allowed to continue to reproduce, otherwise sooner or later, there will be no place for humans to live.
"I don't know how many people will die tomorrow." The village chief murmured.
The hunter captain on the side couldn't help looking away, as if he remembered the bug he killed for the first time a long time ago. It was ugly and smelly. It was a reptile with several legs. Although it couldn't fly, But it has the ability to walk on the ground.
He almost died before he killed the worm. It was because of the worm's crystal nucleus that he advanced to become a second-level supernatural being, and he was also the most powerful existence in this village.
But ten years ago, there was a third-level ability user in the village, but unfortunately, he died in the hands of a second-level mutant. No one knew why that bug was able to leapfrog and kill a third-level ability user.
However, even though the village paid a great price to kill all the bugs, the third-level bug still escaped and disappeared.
"Village chief, did that bug come back for revenge ten years ago?" the hunter captain couldn't help asking.
The village chief trembled all over, and tremblingly said: "I don't know, I just hope that it doesn't come back, otherwise, the village will really be over."
Ten years ago, it was already so powerful at the third level, and ten years later, it will definitely be even more powerful.
The hunter captain fell silent for an instant, and clenched his fists tightly. No matter what, even if he died, he would definitely protect the village until he died.
The world where Zhou Baizhe took root happened to be very close to the entrance of the village. When he looked into the distance, he always felt that in the invisible night, there were countless fangs that were about to move. Especially when night fell, there would always be some weird screams. The sound came out, and it was unknown what kind of creature it was, but those screams finally turned into a mournful cry and disappeared completely.
Zhou Baizhe's heart sank instantly, and he became more and more uneasy about tomorrow.
The villagers don't know if they are used to it, or because there are so many people gathered together. At most, everyone's face is heavy and frightened, and no one is so nervous that they collapse. Now all the women and children, including the elderly, are separated. Sent into the strongest and most hidden cellar.
"I hope those bugs won't find the cellar, otherwise..." a villager worried.
"It's just a matter of luck. Fortunately, the village head is smart and didn't let all the women and children hide in the same cellar. If they are discovered, they will be taken away by the whole family." Another villager sighed.
"I hope the bugs that come tomorrow won't be able to smell the traces of humans."
This is what all the villagers prayed for. Their wives and children, even their parents, hid in the cellars one by one, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to fight back.
Just thinking about it,
