I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 104 Sad Mother

The lethality of pistol bullets was limited. The nun promised that all weapons and ammunition could be reimbursed at the Ark Base. Lin Zhong did not skimp on bullets and directly emptied the magazine, then replaced it, and emptied it again until the monster stopped moving.

"Are you okay?" Not far away, Liu Lixia approached Wan Jin and asked anxiously.

Just when Lin Zhong was about to warn Liu Lixia not to come close, he heard Wan Jin whisper back: "I'm okay..."

Not out of control?

Lin was finally a little surprised.

At first, he suspected that Wan Jin suddenly rushed over because she saw the monster was nervous and out of control. Now it seems that she just rushed over to save people.

"If you don't come, she will be fine." Lin Zhong strode over and shouted to Liu Lixia with a straight face, "Why are you coming back? Do you want to die so much?"

Liu Lixia deliberately got off the car outside the village, obviously following her specially.

This area is very windy and sandy, and the deserted town streets are covered in sand and dust.

Liu Lixia probably followed the tracks and footprints left by them from the scene to here.

Liu Lixia looked at Lin Zhong with dull eyes: "Is the monster's lair... nearby?"

"It's right there." Lin finally pointed to the commercial building behind him.

"Where are the people who were taken away?" Liu Lixia asked.

"The corpses are piled inside." Lin Zhong replied.

Hearing these words, Liu Lixia's originally dull eyes seemed to become even darker.

She turned around and walked towards the commercial building with a slight limp - she had fallen to her knees when being chased by the monster earlier.

At this time Fran came out of the building and passed Liu Lixia.

"Fulan, you treat Wan Jin, and I'll go up and take a look." Lin finally pointed at Wan Jin who injured his foot and couldn't stand up, then strode into the commercial building and went straight to the second floor.

He quickly found Liu Lixia.

This woman stood in the pile of putrid human bones, her back to Lin Zhong, and kept rummaging through them.

Lin finally heard her sniffling. At first he thought it was because she was irritated by the smell, but after a while he realized that she was sobbing.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and finally Liu Lixia picked up a knitted sweater that was almost torn from the pile of corpses.

She picked up the sweater, stood there for a long time, and finally took it into her arms.

She hugged the piece of clothing and began to cry. At first she just sobbed softly, then the cry became louder and louder, and finally turned into a heart-rending cry.

Lin Zhong suddenly understood some of the reasons and waited aside with his arms folded.

He did not disturb Liu Lixia. He had always been patient in waiting. Patience is a hunter's virtue.

A long time passed, and Wan Jin and Fulan came up again. Fulan looked a little confused when she saw this scene, but Wan Jin seemed to understand something when she saw Liu Lixia like this, and lowered her eyes sadly.

Liu Lixia's crying seemed to have subsided a little, and Lin Zhong finally said:
"Go back and ask the people in the village to take the body back."

"Yeah." Liu Lixia's voice was weak.

The group of people got back into the car and drove back to the village, speechless all the way.

It was already half a day before the people in the village pulled back all the bodies of the monsters and victims.

The bones of the victim were sorted by relatives and believers in the Franciscan church, then piled with firewood and burned, and then buried in a temporary cemetery near the field. The relatives held a simple funeral for the deceased together.

Lin Zhong stood by the field and looked at the situation in the cemetery from a distance. Liu Lixia had been standing in front of a tomb with a numb expression.

"Yes, one of the two young men who died yesterday was her son." The village chief stood beside him and answered his question, "He was only 17 years old. Liu Lixia's husband died early, and she took care of her son alone. It was a big deal. When the village was established, Liu Lixia, who had been a militiaman before, took charge of the self-police team, and her son also followed. Yesterday, when her son had to go to town, she scolded him and had a quarrel, but did not stop him. , and something happened.”

"You should have explained this kind of thing earlier." Lin finally glanced at the village chief.

He already understood the reasons for Liu Lixia's series of actions. Because her son was among the victims, she insisted on taking people to the scene to check. When they came, she was the only one who dared to take them to the scene, but when they arrived At the scene, she still didn't dare to take another look at the horrific blood stains.

Rationally, she knew that her son would not survive, but the slightest chance of a miracle drove her to return to the town and follow them to find the monster's lair.

I'm afraid she doesn't take her own life seriously anymore.

Lin finally understood the other party's feelings, but Liu Lixia's actions did cause some changes in his hunting. Fortunately, he was safe in the end.

"I'm really sorry." The village chief apologized sincerely. "She has always been calm. I thought she could be a little...sigh."

After a moment of silence, the village chief said: "Thank you for your hard work this time. Thank you for saving this village. I will ask you to stay in the village for one night tonight. We will definitely entertain you. Don't be polite. I am now Go and get someone ready."

After the village chief walked away, Lin finally turned to look at Wan Jin, who was squatting on the edge of the field not far away, curiously observing the frogs.

"Wan Jin." He called from behind, and Wan Jin, who was paying full attention, was frightened by him.

"Brother Zhong?" Wan Jin turned his head awkwardly.

"Did you rush out specifically to save her at that time?" Lin Zhong asked.

Wan Jin was startled for a moment, and then thought that Lin Zhong was trying to punish her for her unauthorized actions. She lowered her head and whispered back: "I'm sorry..."

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking for the reason." Lin Zhong said.

Wan Jin held it in for a long time, and finally managed to say: "I... don't know."

Lin Zhi stared at her for a while and planned to stop there, but then Wan Jin whispered again: "Maybe, she is a bit like..."

"What?" Lin Zhong asked subconsciously.

"Like my mother." Wan Jin's voice became softer.

"Looks alike?" Lin Mo asked.

"No, I, I can't tell clearly." Wan Jin shook his head slightly, not knowing how to describe it.

Lin didn't ask any more questions. He probably already thought of the answer.

Wan Jin's mother, Wan Yunhong, and the Liu Lixia they met still have something in common.

grieving mother.

Maybe it was the temperament, maybe the expression, maybe a certain look inadvertently revealed, but in short, Wan Jin saw a bit of his mother's shadow in this woman.

Liu Lixia pays more attention to Wan Jin probably because she is the same age as her son.

Although he acted a little impulsively, at least he had the courage to act.Lin Zhi looked at Wan Jin and thought to himself.

"Tomorrow morning, get up early." He said to Wan Jin.

"Huh?" Wan Jin didn't respond.

"I'm going to arrange some training for you." Lin Zhong said calmly.
