Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland
Chapter 272
In Huangshui Village, large tree stumps left behind after felling can be seen everywhere.
The ancestors of the swamp came here and carved out a piece of flat land in the rainforest to build their homes.
It's just that the fallen trees have complex root systems that are deeply rooted in the ground and are difficult to remove. The ancestors had no choice but to leave the stumps, which can be used as a round table for several people to sit around on weekdays, which is convenient.
After the rain, the land is muddy, slippery, soft and sticky.
The villagers have been prepared for a long time. They have laid wooden piles on the main road and laid out layers of wooden boards. They usually walk on it, which is dry and convenient.
At this moment, a patrolling group of swampmen carrying palm oil lamps walked across the boardwalk.
They looked relaxed and occasionally whispered a few words. In the quiet night, their voices could be heard far away.
Wait until this group of swamp people pass by.
A figure suddenly jumped out of the grass on the side of the road.
He was wearing a swamp ninja's gas-proof visor and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He was standing quietly aside just now, letting the edge of the light shine on him, but none of the villagers noticed him.
Lu Meng's stealth skills have improved again, which is already a trivial skill for him.
He tiptoed the ground, shook the mud off his boots, and ran away from the patrol towards the center of the village.
…
Ah Li was full of doubts.
She had noticed something was wrong when she was on the roof, but couldn't quite confirm it.
On the surface, the room was eerily silent.
But unlike Ah Quan, the girl could tell that there was not even the sound of the man breathing while he was sleeping in the room.
No matter what, when people are asleep, their vigilance is at its weakest, and it is impossible to actively hold their breath.
That's why she jumped boldly.
There was a soft "click" sound, and Ah Quan jumped down.
He quickly drew his sword and looked around, then his face showed the same confusion and confusion as his sister.
'no one? ’ Ah Quan muttered in his heart.
I and others prepared for it all night long, doing all kinds of things, but when they entered the house, they discovered that the enemy was not there at all.
It was as if he had stored up a full blow, but hit the cotton.
Ah Li did not relax, but asked her brother to stay behind her and walked towards the door.
She was not in a hurry to search the room and rescue the girl—first she had to find a way for herself and others to escape later.
The leader named "Beiyou" left the hut for some reason, which also means that he may come back at any time - for example, what if he has diarrhea after eating fish?
By then, they won't be able to escape.
Ah Li put away the crossbow, held the short knife between her teeth, and fiddled with the door lock with both hands.
Sure enough, the man changed the locks.
However, he was able to make it so that people outside the house couldn't tell the difference. Even when the key was inserted, they couldn't notice that the lock bolt mechanism had actually changed... This skill was already equivalent to that of a professional locksmith.
Better than me... He is a gang leader, why should he learn this skill?
The swamp girl muttered to herself.
I don't feel well when I think about it.
For example, she herself once pestered the master locksmith, thinking that one day she could open the forbidden area in the village and sneak in to take a look, but unfortunately she never did.
Fortunately, door locks are mainly used to prevent outsiders. Even if someone locks the door when they go out, it is much easier to open it inside the house.
Knowing that the leader was not around, Ah Li acted boldly and the progress of unlocking the lock accelerated.
There was a clicking sound in the quiet air.
Allen, who was watching outside the door, felt relieved when he heard the sound, knowing that the situation inside was smoother than expected.
Ah Quan stood behind his sister, holding a steel knife. He couldn't understand the process of unlocking, so he had to look at the situation in the room.
He glanced at the two empty baskets in the corner and knew they were the meal ingredients delivered during the day.
Darling, it’s really delicious... Ah Quan was speechless.
The man was thin and had a big appetite.
At least four guys.
I'm afraid there's some disease or bugs on my body...
Immediately, Ah Quan also noticed the wooden bed deep in the room, which was covered with a ball of quilt. It looked like a tied and huddled girl.
But there was no exposed part of the other party, and Ah Quan couldn't distinguish her appearance.
You are so cruel...Aren't you afraid of being suffocated to death? he thought.
However, if the organ sale was really going to happen, the leader would definitely guarantee her life. It seemed that her sight was only blocked, so Ah Quan was not worried.
The clicking sound grew louder and louder.
Ah Quan frowned and pushed his sister, indicating that she should be more careful.
Ah Li stopped and cast an inquiring look.
"Click, click..."
The noise gradually died away.
However, the expressions of both siblings changed!
The time when the sound disappeared was obviously later than when Ah Li stopped!
Ah Quan slashed suddenly!
The next moment, the young man's hands trembled, and the blade in front of him felt like it had been hit hard.
The bright red flashed away and turned into darkness.
"Be careful!" Just as he had time to shout, the next sharper wind hit his face.
…
Lu Meng raised his head and looked at the tall stone statues of the two people in front of him, as if admiring them.
The face of the stone statue has been blurred and incomplete. His arms are half raised to his chest, which is like preaching and also seems to be embracing the world.
The armor he wore was familiar to Lu Meng.
A dim sacred fire pattern is embossed on it.
It is the Holy Empire Knight Armor that I once made.
Lu Meng clicked his tongue.
Unexpectedly, I can also see the statue of Phoenix, the monarch of the Holy Kingdom, here.
Of course, judging from the age of this stone statue, it is not the current Holy Lord who was carved. Each monarch is regarded as the reincarnation of the first generation Phoenix, and this shape is definitely one of them.
For example, in the past life, if you saw the Greek goddess with no clothes and a concave shape, it was probably Venus; if you saw the long-bearded, red-faced military commander with a big sword, it was probably Guan Erye.
That's all.
It's a pity that Lu Meng came here not to repent or make a pilgrimage for his heresy.
This is a long-abandoned metal shack. The door locks are filled with beeswax. The whole house is also looped with iron ropes. The faintly visible sacred fire and scriptures on the iron rings also explain the layout. The identity of the person - a believer in Auckland.
Judging from this posture, the person who closed the room had no intention of letting it be opened again.
This is a forbidden area of Huangshui Village. No one has been there for a long time. Weeds as tall as a person have grown around it, and the boardwalk on the ground has long rotted.
Even Lu Meng spent a lot of effort opening it.
[Unlocking: 29→30 (Mastery)]
After failing several times, I also accumulated a lot of experience.
This statue of the Holy Lord is in the shed, solemn and silent.
"It's so strict, it doesn't sound like it's to prevent thieves...but it seems like it's afraid of something getting out." Lu Meng chuckled.
He turned on the flashlight, and the light passed through the floating dust. Then he looked around the room and saw something.
An iron-gray corpse.
——Mechanical skeleton man.
Unlike the wreckage he had seen before, he had a head, but the visual elements like eyes had long been dimmed and gray.
There is one more update, please wait a moment, friends.
