Chapter 79: Escape From the Village

"Is this guy a human?!" Lin Yi was a little surprised.

It was hard for him to imagine that a human could lead a group of people parasitized by aliens to act together.

The key point was that not only was he not parasitized, but even the aliens in the village obeyed his arrangements.

Or did Brother Lei not know that the people in the village had been parasitized by aliens?

This was obviously impossible. He had lived in this village for so long and knew that aliens existed. In addition, the roofless houses built outside the village would make anyone feel strange.

Perhaps, Brother Lei really knew some answers about why the world had become like this, as An Chengdao said.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi also felt that Brother Lei should be taken out.

The people in the village who were parasitized by aliens fled in all directions. Some of the mice chased them, while the other part stared at Lin Yi and his friends who were about to escape.

"Be careful!" Lu Linhai grabbed the steel rod on the ground with one hand and grabbed Lin Yi's collar with the other hand.

While pulling him back, he swung the steel rod, and with a "bang", a jumping rat was knocked out by Lu Linhai.

An Chengdao still had a gloomy face, and all the butcher knives flew back and quickly rotated around them.

Once a rat jumped over, the butcher knife would immediately fly up, either piercing the rat's body or splitting it in two.

However, Lin Yi noticed that the speed of the butcher knife was getting slower and slower.

When heading to the woods north of the village, Brother Lei brought a lot of people.

An Chengdao must have experienced a fierce battle to return safely from their hands.

As for how he survived, although Lin Yi was curious, it was obviously not the time to ask now.

An Chengdao's ability would constantly consume his physical strength. If he continued to activate his ability, once it exceeded the upper limit that his body could bear, he would probably be like Zhou Kai.

"Hurry up, there are too many rats and strange birds, even the aliens can't do anything to them. If we continue to stay here, we will be bitten to death." Lin Yi urged.

"Can't leave!" Just when everyone decided to escape the village, Lu Linhai suddenly stopped them.

"We can't leave now." Lu Linhai said hurriedly, "Zhang Cheng said, let's wait for the signal."

"Signal?" Zhou Kai frowned, "What signal?"

Lu Linhai touched his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know, he didn't say."

"But he said that as soon as the signal appears, we can recognize it immediately."

"No, we can't wait here." Lin Yi glanced around, and the people in the village fled and died.

It won't be long before the rats and strange birds will all target them.

"Go first--" Lin Yi planned to leave from the north of the village first, at least run out of this village first.

However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Yun on the side seemed to have discovered something, pointing to the south of the village and shouting: "Look!"

The south of the village became very clear in the dark night, and the black mice made anxious and nervous calls and quickly gathered in the north of the village.

The reason that prompted them to come here was not the attraction of the bloody smell, but the sudden fire in the south of the village, which was spreading here.

"Fire?" Lu Linhai whispered.

Lin Yi thought about it for a while and understood it immediately.

"It's Zhang Cheng's signal!"

Most of the buildings in the village are wooden sheds built with wood. Coupled with the dry climate in the village, once a fire breaks out, the fire will spread rapidly.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng also knew that Lin Yi and his team had set fire to the mountain.

These mice and strange birds are afraid of fire. They feel the danger coming, so they will flee to the north of the village where the fire has not yet started.

Zhang Cheng would think of using mice and strange birds to deal with the aliens in the village, and he must have thought of the consequences of this approach.

"Let's run to the south of the village." Lin Yi roughly understood what Zhang Cheng meant.

The fire spread from the south of the village, which means Zhang Cheng is there.

The spread of the fire will force the rats to the woods in the north of the village, so if you want to stay away from these rats, you must run in the opposite direction of them.

"Zhou Kai, I'll carry you away." Lu Linhai walked in front of Zhou Kai.

"I can walk by myself."

"You can't walk, you're blind, don't be stubborn." Lu Linhai said as he started to act.

"Brother, you——" Zhou Yun's tone was full of worry.

Zhou Kai hurriedly explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is blind, I just overused my ability and can't see clearly for the time being."

"Don't hold me, put me down. If it doesn't work, you can carry me on your back, why do you want to hold me?"

"It's inconvenient to carry me on your back." Lu Linhai held Zhou Kai, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed.

"Hold me, you can't see now, and your body is weak. Lu Linhai is strong, and he can be faster if he holds you." Lin Yi echoed from the side.

"You are weak!"

Lin Yi walked in front of the team, followed by Lu Linhai holding Zhou Kai, then Zhou Yun, and at the end of the team was An Chengdao carrying Brother Lei.

Lin Yi put the knife in his bag and held Lu Linhai's steel rod in his hand.

The steel rod was obviously much more convenient to deal with these rats that occasionally jumped up when they were running away.

The butcher knife rotated around them to protect the entire team.

As they got closer to the south of the village, there were many burnt children on the ground, in addition to the burnt rats and strange birds that had not yet escaped.

Lin Yi looked at the children on the ground and seemed to have guessed how Zhang Cheng had introduced the rats and strange birds into the village.

"Here! Here!" At the south entrance of the village, Lin Yi saw Zhang Cheng standing there waving.

The closer they got to the entrance of the village, the more severely the wooden shed was burned.

The wooden shed began to collapse, and they quickened their pace.

But just as they were about to run over, the pillar of the wooden shed on the side suddenly fell down, and the burning flames hit Lu Linhai and Zhou Kai in his arms.

Lu Linhai frowned and quickly threw Zhou Kai in his arms forward.

Seeing the pillar falling towards Lu Linhai, two bone-cutting knives flew over and stabbed into the pillar, blocking the fallen pillar.

The handles of An Chengdao's butcher knife were all made of wood, and the flames quickly smoked the handles black, and then burned.

"Hurry up!" An Chengdao urged.

Lin Yi pulled Zhou Kai who had climbed up from the ground, and didn't care whether he had fallen hard just now, and the group ran quickly towards the south entrance of the village.

Finally, they ran out safely.

They sat on the ground, panting, watching the village being engulfed by flames.

"You are really a lunatic." Lin Yi glanced at Zhang Cheng beside him and couldn't help sighing.

Of course, the "lunatic" here is a compliment to Zhang Cheng in a sense.

"If you don't go crazy, how can you deal with these aliens?" Zhang Cheng said with a smile, "Besides, I learned all this from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Brother Lei who was thrown to the ground by An Chengdao.

Compared to explaining his plan to Lin Yi and others, Zhang Cheng was obviously more interested in Brother Lei on the ground.

He stepped over and said excitedly: "I thought I would never see this person again, but Uncle An actually brought him out."

"Just right, I still have something to ask him."

Unlike Lin Yi and others, Zhang Cheng seemed to have found some clues, so he was very interested in Brother Lei on the ground.

"Wake up, hey, wake up, it's dawn!" Zhang Cheng shouted while raising his hand and slapping Brother Lei's face a few times.

Lei Ge gradually woke up, first feeling a burst of heat, and then seeing the blazing fire in the village.

"No! My village!" The scene in front of him made him sober instantly.

He twisted his body like crazy and tried to get up from the ground, but because his hands and feet were tied together with the shotgun, he couldn't stand up at all.

"What do you mean your village? Don't you know that everyone in this village is parasitized by aliens?" Lu Linhai glared at Lei Ge.

"Of course he knows, and he knows it very clearly." Zhang Cheng answered without waiting for Lei Ge to speak.

"He knows?" Zhou Yun was a little confused.

"That's even more hateful." Lu Linhai said angrily, "Obviously a human being, but he is with aliens and helps aliens deal with humans, I pah!"

"Human?" Lei Ge snorted coldly, as if he sneered at what Lu Linhai had just said.

He turned around and stared at Lin Yi and the others viciously, saying in a contemptuous tone: "A group of idiots who grew up under the care of aliens, do you really think you are human?
