Chapter 63: Forest in the North of the Village
Tian Wenlei's words instantly made the atmosphere tense.
Lin Yi frowned, worried about Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng, and was also a little curious.
Since there is danger in the woods north of the village, why do the people in the village still stay here?
Aren't they afraid that the danger in the woods will spread to the village sooner or later?
"Uncle Tian, what is in the woods north of the village?"
"Why do people who enter the woods at night have to die?"
Hearing Lin Yi's question, Tian Wenlei shook his head and sighed.
"The woods north of the village... is where the village uses to centrally deal with corpses."
"Deal with corpses?!" Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Whose corpses?"
"All corpses." Tian Wenlei continued.
"Do you remember the strange birds and mice that the villagers talked about on the way here?"
"These strange things are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. If they are allowed to multiply everywhere, their existence will sooner or later threaten the people in the village."
In order to avoid this situation, all dead people, whether they died naturally or were killed by aliens, will be centrally dealt with by the village.
In this way, the strange birds and mice will be led to one place.
The strange birds and mice will fight for the corpses. To some extent, this method can not only reduce the number of these strange things, but also solve the food problem in the village.
The villagers will choose a day in the daytime to enter the woods in the north of the village in groups. Because the mice and strange birds are concentrated, it will be much easier to catch them.
Clean the captured mice and strange birds in the woods and take the meat back directly.
In this way, they will not be attracted to the village because of the bloody smell.
Tian Wenlei's words made Lin Yi think of the aliens and humans in the city.
"What about the injured?" Zhou Kai interrupted.
His question was actually what Lin Yi wanted to ask.
They didn't see any injured people in this village. If they were injured in the battle with the aliens, what should these injured people do?
After all, the blood from the wounds on the injured will also attract strange birds and mice to the village.
"We specially chose a place near the woods in the north of the village to build a temporary house for the injured. The injured will live there temporarily, and there will be people from the village to guard the house."
"Those strange birds and mice look strange, but they are animals after all, and they are afraid of fire."
"At night, we will light torches around the shed to prevent them from getting close."
"Those strange birds and mice are not stupid. Instead of risking their lives to attack the injured, they might as well go directly to the place where the corpses are processed and eat ready-made food."
Tian Wenlei's statement sounded like there was nothing wrong.
Without waiting for Lin Yi and the others to speak, Tian Wenlei turned around and prepared to leave.
"I won't talk to you for now." Tian Wenlei looked very anxious, as if he was going to the woods in the north of the village. "Someone found fresh footprints on the way to the woods in the north of the village. It is speculated that you went in, so let me take a look."
"I have to go over there to look for it now. Many people in the village have also gone there. If they don't go far, maybe they can be rescued."
"I'll go too." An Chengdao carried the bag containing the butcher knife and wanted to follow.
"Don't go." Tian Wenlei shook his head.
"You just arrived in the village, you are not familiar with the village yet, let alone the woods in the north of the village."
"If you don't find them and you get lost again, it will be really troublesome."
"I brought them here, I must ensure their safety." An Chengdao said with a cold face, exuding an irresistible aura.
"Besides, according to what you said, I am the Chosen One." An Chengdao raised his hand, and a bloodletting knife flew out of his bag and landed in his palm.
An Chengdao's ability was demonstrated when he met the saint before, so there is no need to hide it now.
Of course, An Chengdao only demonstrated a small part.
"Uncle Tian, let us go." Lin Yi also stood up.
"We won't go in, we'll just wait outside the woods."
"I promise I won't cause any trouble for you."
Tian Wenlei frowned, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Even if I don't let you go, you will definitely go in the end."
"Instead of letting you find it yourself, it's safer for me to take you there, so you don't get lost."
"Let's go."
Lin Yi and his group followed Tian Wenlei and quickly rushed to the north of the village.
An Chengdao frowned along the way, and before reaching the north of the village, he had already held the bone-chopping knife in his hand.
It can be seen that he is really worried about Lu Linhai and the others.
"Uncle An, you don't really think that Lu Linhai and the others went to the woods in the north of the village, do you?" Lin Yi glanced at Tian Wenlei who was running in front, and pulled An Chengdao to the end of the team.
"Didn't they go?" An Chengdao was stunned for a moment.
"If Lu Linhai was alone, he might have gone." Lin Yi said in a low voice.
"He is careless in his work and rarely pays attention to details."
"But Zhang Cheng is different." Lin Yi said while paying attention to Tian Wenlei in front of him.
"A person who has no ability but can live for so many years without discovering the existence of aliens must be very cautious."
In fact, when Lin Yi heard Tian Wenlei talking about this matter, he was a little suspicious.
Zhang Cheng is very smart. Since he is collecting intelligence, he will not go to the woods north of the village where no one is.
Even if he wants to go, he will not choose to go at night.
As for the shoe prints found by the villagers, perhaps Zhang Cheng deliberately made them in order to attract the attention of the villagers.
Zhang Cheng did not tell Lin Yi and others about this matter. Therefore, even if the villagers did not find the shoe prints, seeing that they had not returned for a long time, Lin Yi and others would be anxious and ask the villagers to help find them.
In this way, the shoe prints left outside the woods will still be discovered.
Of course, this is Lin Yi's guess.
The reason why he insisted on going was that he could get familiar with the surrounding environment. Since he decided to slip away, it was essential to find a safe route.
Secondly, even if Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng really went to the woods north of the village, it would be easier to find them using Zhou Kai's ability.
As for why Zhang Cheng did this, perhaps he wanted to find out how many God's Chosen were in the village in this way, or there might be other reasons that Lin Yi did not think of for a while.
"Now that you mention it, it's not impossible." Although An Chengdao said this, the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.
An Chengdao is the only elder among them. In his eyes, Lin Yi and the others are like his children.
Since he brought them out of the city, An Chengdao decided to protect them.
Compared with himself, An Chengdao felt that these boys and girls were the hope for the future of mankind.
Therefore, An Chengdao was still worried before he could not guarantee 100% that Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng had not entered the woods.
"Wenlei, why did you bring them here?"
Outside the woods in the north of the village, many people holding torches gathered.
The leader was still Brother Lei. After looking at Tian Wenlei with a shotgun, he stared at Lin Yi and the others viciously.
