Chapter 67 Roofless House
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but frown.
If these threads are really the time threads representing the "future" as he guessed.
Then, the thread extending from Lei Ge's hunting rifle to An Chengdao's chest, does it mean that An Chengdao will be hit by the bullet in this gun?
Lin Yi recalled the gunshot he heard when he broke the thread, and the piercing pain in his chest.
"Uncle An is in danger."
At this moment, he wanted to go into the woods and find An Chengdao immediately.
If he could find An Chengdao before Lei Ge shot, he might be able to save him.
However, Lin Yi didn't do it.
He took a deep breath and told himself in his heart that he was too concerned.
Zhou Kai's ability cannot be used for a long time in such a harsh environment, and it is too much of a burden on the sensory organs.
Even if they go into the woods to look for it now, they may not be able to find An Chengdao, and it may even put him and Zhou Kai in danger.
At that time, not only will they not be able to save An Chengdao, but he and Zhou Kai will also die here because of their reckless behavior.
Lin Yi believed that An Chengdao would not die so easily.
Moreover, before An Chengdao set out, he reminded him to be careful of Brother Lei.
The future will change, and perhaps his reminder will allow An Chengdao to survive.
Even if An Chengdao really did not escape this disaster, the worst that could happen was that he would die once and use his ability to go back to the past.
Lin Yi looked up at the roofless house in the distance and said softly: "Let's go, let's go to that house and take a look."
Since the incident has already happened, it is necessary to collect as much information as possible before the incident is over.
Even if he really has to die at that time, he will not have to start all over again because of his impulse.
As long as enough information is collected, even if they go back to the past, they can turn passivity into initiative.
Continuing to walk towards the house in the distance, Lin Yi and Zhou Kai were very alert and more cautious.
There are many traps buried on this road, and the distribution of the locations is irregular.
Even if the torch in the hand can illuminate the road in front of him, it is impossible to determine the specific location of these traps by vision.
Fortunately, Lin Yi could see the glowing silk thread. Once the place where the raised foot landed buried the trap, the silk thread would emerge from the ground and connect to their ankles.
Using these silk threads, Lin Yi and his team avoided the traps on the ground. Although it took a lot of time, they were finally getting closer and closer to the house.
When they were about to reach the house, even though Lin Yi did not have Zhou Kai's ability, he could smell the stench coming from the house.
It was not just the smell of blood, but mixed with other smells.
Like the smell of decay and the stench of excrement.
"This place is definitely not a place for people to recuperate." Lin Yi looked at Zhou Kai beside him with a serious face.
"The world outside is short of supplies, and the speed of recovery from injuries is not as fast as in the city." Zhou Kai nodded, and he and Lin Yi had the same opinion.
"If the environment for recuperation is quite bad, it is better to say that this house is a place for people to wait for death rather than a place for people to recuperate."
Zhou Kai felt a little dizzy, and the strong stench drilled into his nasal cavity, constantly irritating his nerves.
His stomach was churning, and he could smell it even if he covered his nose.
"Sorry, this place is too irritating to my sense organs, so I won't use my ability for now."
Zhou Kai felt a little better after he stopped using his ability.
"Let's leave after we finish. I always feel uneasy if I don't use my ability." Zhou Kai said vigilantly.
The house in front of them not only had no roof, but when they got closer, they saw that it didn't even have doors or windows.
A completely open house couldn't keep mice and strange birds out.
Although there was a circle of torches around the house, the torches were spaced a long distance apart and had no deterrent effect at all.
There was a faint groan coming from the house, and when he looked inside, Lin's scalp went numb for a moment.
The house was full of bones, and even the marks of rodents gnawing on the bones could be seen.
The ground was full of disgusting dirt, and it was hard to tell whether it was blood or biological excrement.
Even though Lin Yi had seen the aliens in the city, he was still frightened by the scene in front of him.
He remembered what An Chengdao had said before, that compared with the people in this village, the aliens in the city were more like humans.
At least, when those aliens take action, they will give the people they eat a quick death, instead of leaving the injured here and letting them fend for themselves in pain and despair.
"Are all these people the injured in the village?" Zhou Kai on the side also frowned, thinking that the scene in front of him was too horrifying.
"Those guys are too cruel."
"No wonder there are so few people in my village." The scene in front of him made Lin Yi understand.
"According to what Uncle Tian told us before, if this village really existed for so many years, and they are still rescuing people from the city, then there shouldn't be only so many people in the village."
"Now it seems that for this village, people are just a consumable."
When he said this, Lin Yi sighed.
"To prevent the injured from attracting rats and strange birds to the village, and because of the lack of supplies, the wounds cannot be healed quickly. Once the injuries are too serious, they will be sent here."
"Then, use their cries and the smell of blood from their wounds to attract mice and strange birds in the forest, thus ensuring the safety of the village."
"This house is simply a canteen for those strange things." Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's go, let's leave here quickly." Zhou Kai was a little worried about Zhou Yun in the village.
After confirming that the people in this village were not good people, Zhou Kai became more and more worried about his sister's safety.
"Zhou Kai, look there!" When Lin Yi turned around, he suddenly noticed that there was still a person lying in the corner of the room who had not died.
The low moan that Lin Yi and the others heard came from this person.
The man was lying face down on the ground, and the only difference between his skinny body and the surrounding bones seemed to be just an extra layer of skin.
"Why is there a hole on his back?" Following Lin Yi's gaze, Zhou Kai also saw the man.
There was a creepy wound between the shoulder blades on the man's back, as if something had been torn off his back alive.
The skin next to it was torn off, and it looked like an irregular hole.
"Those people in the village have something on their backs!" Lin Yi guessed.
He thought of the hunched posture of the villagers. Since the people in this house were all injured people in the village, then the situation of these people should be the same.
Although Lin Yi didn't know what these people were carrying on their backs for the time being, it was definitely not a good thing.
Just as Lin Yi thought of this, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Lin Yi, why did you run here?"
