In the early morning, the sun was just beginning to reveal the best time of the day, but at this moment, the affiliated village of Tamu Village, under Luye Town, is now shrouded under a huge cloud.

"Old man, the little stone is gone."

In the largest yard in Tomu Village, the logging captain Vos found Enke, the elder of Tomu Village who was really smoking tobacco.

Hearing this, he looked up at Voss holding a double-barrel hunting rifle, and Old Enke took a sip of the grass cigarette.

"Is that monster again?"

He lowered his head and exhaled a large mouthful of smoke, making it difficult to see Lao Enke's expression at this moment.

“It should be.”

As he said that, Voss couldn't help but clench his hands holding the shotgun, and his veins were exposed.

Takimura mainly focuses on logging. As the captain of the logging team and the No. 2 figure of Takimura, Vos has encountered many dangers, such as being attacked by a hungry brown bear while logging, but that time has not made him feel as powerless as today.

Six days ago, an old lumberjack in Tamu Village disappeared inexplicably. At first, it did not attract everyone's attention. It was not until the next day that the villagers realized something was wrong and organized people to search.

The search for it naturally had no results, and in the process three more villagers disappeared, and the atmosphere of panic began to spread in Tamu Village.

Under such circumstances, Lao Enke made a quick decision to gather the villagers and asked Vos to lead the young and strong people in the village to pick up weapons to protect everyone. No one disappeared again on that day.

With the protection of the armed forces and everyone gathered together, the hearts of the villagers began to be full of peace, but the good times did not last long. On the third night, two more people disappeared while everyone gathered together. The most important thing is that no one knew when and how they disappeared.

The seeds of fear began to take root and sprout, and the hearts of the villagers were unknowingly swallowed by monsters called panic. Many people's reason was already on the verge of collapse. At this time, someone proposed the idea of ​​leaving the village.

Some people support and oppose this idea, and there are more people who oppose it than support it. After all, this is their home and their comfort zone. What is more important is that leaving the village cannot guarantee safety and may be more dangerous.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Lao Enke stood up to calm everyone's dispute.

He did not leave the village for the time being, and everyone took weapons and could not act alone at any time. He handed over the only two slow horses in the village to the two young and strong men, and asked them to go to Luye Town for help.

On the fourth day, two young and strong men watched them ride away on horseback. The villagers placed their hopes on them. It was safe and sound, but none of the villagers dared to fall asleep at night.

On the fifth day, the weather was fine and the villagers spent the day tremblingly, but fortunately everything was safe, as if the monster had left.

On the sixth day, before the villagers could breathe a sigh of relief, fear came again, the little stone disappeared, uneasiness boiled like boiling water, and the monster never left.

"Old man, what should we do? The villagers were very uneasy and didn't know when the town's request for help would come."

His own force is not reliable, and Vos, a tall and powerful man, can only pin his hopes on the request for help from Greenfield Town.

Taking a deep breath of cigarette and lowering his head, Old Enke didn't speak, nor did he share his deepest thoughts with Voss.

Duomu Town is far away from Luye Town, but it is enough to ride a horse back and forth for two days. But today is the third day, and the request for help from Luye Town is still not here. If something was delayed, then the request for help was not sent to Luye Town at all. The second possibility is far higher than the first one, because no one in the village disappeared that day.

He was heavy inside, but Lao Enke could only bear it silently alone, because at this moment, Takimura had become a powder barrel, and a Martian might detonate it. Moreover, based on observations over many days, Lao Enke guessed that the unknown monster might have regarded the village as his granary, eating two or three people every day, no more or less.

This guess may be a bit cruel, but Old Enke knew that this might be true. As an old hunter, Old Enke knew the psychology of the beasts very well. Unfortunately, even if he guessed the truth, he could not do anything. This has to be said to be a kind of sorrow, the sorrow of the weak.

Although there may be a problem with asking for help, Old Enke was not desperate, because every once in a while, Luye Town would come to collect a batch of wood. To calculate the days, the most recent ones are in these few days. At that time, Luye Town will definitely find abnormalities here.

Of course, all Old Enke can do now is pray silently, hoping to come sooner this day, hoping that fewer people will die.

"well!"

Looking at Vos's back as he left, Old Enke sighed deeply, and his body seemed even more hunched.

Watching the villagers die silently, hiding their facts, letting them wait for death with peace of mind. This is a cruel way to die for Old Enke, who grew up in the village, but he had to do so, because once the villagers know the truth and flee on a large scale, it is likely to anger the unknown monsters in the dark.

Stay in the sheep pen with peace of mind and is treated as a reserve grain for monsters. Although people die every day, the number is limited after all. They tear the sheep pen and are unwilling to be reserve grain. The monsters are furious and may hunt on a large scale and punish them for retaliation.

Huh, he took another deep breath of smoke, and Lao Enke silently told himself that he must be patient and must be patient.

Two more days later, on the eighth day when Tamu Village was shrouded in the clouds, Iruka's brows frowned tightly in the Luye Town Government Affairs Department.

"Did you say nothing about it?"

"Yes."

After glanced at Iruka's face, the clerk continued to say:

"Hissary Secretary, the government affairs department staff responsible for collecting timber three days ago had already set out for Takimura. It was normal that the next day, he should have returned yesterday at the latest, but he has not come back so far."

He exhale, took a deep breath, and put down the quill in his hand, Iruka's face couldn't help but sink.

As a pioneering land, Luye Town seems to be stable, but in fact it is full of dangers. Under such circumstances, civil servants have strict time plans for going out for business, which is generally impossible to violate. But until now, those people have not returned, it is very likely that something has happened.

After thinking for a while, rubbing his eyebrows, Iruka took out a special paper for government decree and quickly wrote a decree and stamped it with his official seal.

"Take this to Sheriff Alos and ask him to send more people to Takimura."
