Chapter 8 The Burning Mountain Village
On the shore of a lake in the primeval forest, the burning flames broke the peace that the mountain village should have.
The small mountain village is not large in size.
At first glance, there were only a hundred families.
They are wanderers on this land, using fruits, animal skins and some food they grow from the forest.
Exchange some daily necessities with cities in the distance.
In the history passed down by the villagers, in the past hundreds of years, the people in the village have wandered in this forest.
The land of this primeval forest is still fertile and rich in natural resources.
But unfortunately, the appearance of mutant beasts and monsters born under the influence of the Blood Moon made this mountain village always forced to wander in different places.
During the long wandering, mountain villages cannot develop more populations or accumulate more money.
I can only work hard day after day for life.
The gains obtained by fighting for life can only be sold to the adults in the city at extremely low prices.
This is used to exchange for some essential daily necessities and more precious drugs to inhibit blood moon radiation.
However, over the past few years.
The situation in the village is slightly better.
Because, a few years ago, there was great fortune in this village and an extraordinary person appeared.
Just like some unique individuals in beasts, they will experience benign mutations after receiving radiation from the blood moon.
Among humans, there are also a very small number of lucky people.
After experiencing radiation, not only will you not lose your life, but you will have physical fitness that is beyond ordinary people and even all kinds of more incredible abilities.
This type of person is called extraordinary people.
The birth of the extraordinary has greatly improved the status of the village.
Therefore, this village with a population of only a few hundred is qualified to be stationed in a relatively safe place.
After a day of labor, the elderly in the village sometimes sit on the tree stumps and fantasize. After several generations of hard work, their grandchildren may be able to live in the city.
Don't have to wander outside every day...
However, fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Under the cover of the blood moon, the forbidden zone spreads. In this gradually collapsed world, even super-large cities with tens of millions of people will be threatened.
What's more, these small villages that live in the wild.
Safety is just a temporary luck, and death and danger are the lingering shadows that linger on everyone's head.
Early this morning, more than a dozen evil ghosts attacked the mountain village.
Unlike the invisible and intangible evil spirits, these creatures mutated from humans have blue skin and fangs as sharp as files.
The blue evil ghost attacked the mountain village from different directions.
Perhaps it is because of the comfort for too long, or perhaps it is because the gap between them is too huge.
Not long.
In the village, the defense line composed of men has been completely destroyed.
The average height of the evil ghost born after being radiated by blood moon is close to 1.9 meters tall. Beneath the blue-black fascia are bulging muscle lines.
Moreover, compared with the living dead who have no consciousness and only hunting instinct.
These evil ghosts still retain a little human evil thoughts. They are even more crazy and cunning. They know how to disperse their troops and attack the weak first, which makes men with certain combat power in the village run away.
"ha!"
The men took the pitchforks and sticks and tried their best to attack the evil spirits.
But they are less than 1.7 meters tall on average, and muscle weakness caused by long-term malnutrition.
The weapons in their hands fell on these evil ghosts, leaving only a tiny white mark.
And the evil ghost who seemed to be angry just waved casually.
The men flew out like rag dolls that were being played with, and smashed hard on the surrounding earthen walls. After a twitch, they could no longer move.
If it were the past, some of the villagers in the mountain village would likely stay voluntarily to protect others from escaping.
But after several years of development, the hope that finally saw made these villagers hesitate.
The consequences of hesitation are fatal.
This group of evil ghosts has completely surrounded this small mountain village from different directions, and most of the adult men are more or less injured.
But even so.
Even though he was severely injured, the blood left on his forehead blurred his eyes, and the men refused to take a step back.
After all, those who hide in the dirt houses behind me are their wives and children.
No one wants the relatives they want to protect to die before themselves.
Therefore, even if they die, they hope that they can die in front of their families first.
"Rinko! You guys go!"
The man holding a pitchfork crawled out of the collapsed wall, straightened his waist and blocked a ghost.
"madness!"
The evil ghost who was walking in the front was slightly taller than the other evil ghosts.
Its thick wrists were strung with twelve iron rings, and the red light in its eyes seemed to look more cruel than other evil spirits.
Swish!
I saw the middle-aged man who was standing in front of me without knowing his life or death.
A hint of impatient expression flashed across the evil ghost's face. It raised its hand, and its big hand like a palm fan fell from the air.
The shrill sound of breaking through the air like a wild beast roared in my ears.
Before his palm fell on his body, the man's face was already inciting the surging wind.
"ah!!"
In the room behind the man.
The woman hugged her young daughter in her arms, not daring to let her see her miserable appearance when her father died.
The girl called Rinko curled up in her mother's arms like a frightened little beast.
Even though her body was trembling, the girl tightly grasped the strange-shaped knots on her hand.
"God, if you really exist, please save the people in the village."
The girl prayed in her heart.
But what's the use? If there are really gods in this world.
Then why did He watch the countless refugees struggle under the radiation of this blood moon?
Why are there such human-eating monsters rampant?
However…
This time, the gods seemed to have really responded.
Click!
The expected explosion did not come, and the man's angry roar continued to ring, mixed with a dull swallowing sound.
