Chapter 112: Human Gathering Place
"No, I also came from outside, but I was dragged in. My name is Daisy, I... I am not your enemy... I am here to help you." Daisy said.
"Help us? What's going on?" Wang Qiang behind him asked puzzledly.
Daisy looked around in panic and breathed a sigh of relief: "Come with me, I will take you to a safe place. It's too dangerous to stay here. If you encounter those things, you might die... You should have encountered those bloody things before, right?"
"Synthetic beast?"
"Ah, you call it synthetic beast, we call it corpse beast, they are transformed from the corpses of dead people." Daisy said in a trembling voice.
After saying that, she walked towards a black door. Su Ming reached out and held her hand, saying with a smile, "You are not a superpower, it is not safe for you to walk alone. Come to the middle and tie the rope, so you won't get lost. Let me do the scouting. If there are synthetic beasts on the other side, I can deal with them! You just need to be responsible for pointing the way."
Su Ming knew that she was pretending!
Daisy was stunned for a moment, nodded, and obediently walked behind Su Ming, letting Sun Lanxin tie a rope around her waist.
"Okay, tell me which black door to go through?"
"This one," Daisy said, pointing to a black door.
Su Ming took the lead and walked into the black gate. Under Daisy's guidance, they kept shuttling between the black gates. Occasionally, they encountered a few synthetic beasts on the way, but they were all dealt with in advance by Wang Qiang.
There was no danger during the process, but Daisy was frightened by the synthetic beasts. She had to rely on Sun Lanxin's constant comfort to stay calm and continue to point the way.
At this moment, everyone in the team has their own thoughts. The sudden appearance of Daisy is certainly suspicious, but she may really be just an ordinary person living here, so everyone is thinking about Daisy's true identity.
Only Su Ming knew that this woman was a fake, and he had already started thinking about how to use her.
Finally, after passing through countless black gates, they arrived at their final destination, which was a very large field and it was very bright.
In the distance stood a huge dilapidated church, and next to it were a number of small wooden houses. Those wooden houses were suspended in the air by thick wooden pillars. The style was somewhat similar to the Tujia stilt houses in Su Ming's memory, and the base was three meters high from the ground.
If you want to go upstairs, you have to climb a ladder.
From Su Ming's position, he could see many children playing downstairs. If it weren't for the black doors on the surrounding buildings, Wang Qiang and the others would have thought they had arrived in the outside world.
"It's safe here." Daisy breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Wait a moment, I'll call the village chief over soon."
"Okay, we'll wait here."
Su Ming watched Daisy run towards the cabin, and said with his back to everyone, "You can untie the ropes now. Everyone, get ready for battle."
"Huh? Fighting?" Sun Lanxin's face was full of confusion.
She didn't understand why Su Ming said to prepare for a fight. Daisy was a suspect before, but now she has brought them to a safe area here. Isn't this enough to prove that Daisy is a good person?
"I just said to prepare for the battle. Just be prepared. I will observe the situation afterwards."
After saying that, Su Ming turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, that girl just now was lying. She is not a good person."
"Your intuition?"
Xia Xiaoyu has begun to get used to the excuse .
Su Ming smiled and nodded: "Yes, intuition! Go follow her and see what she and those people are talking about."
Xia Xiaoyu ran over, and soon, Daisy came back with a middle-aged man, and Xia Xiaoyu followed behind them.
Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu made eye contact, and Xia Xiaoyu shook her head at him, indicating that there was nothing suspicious.
Su Ming nodded to the people around him, signaling them to lower their guard.
"Hello, I'm the village chief here, my name is Liu Hu." The middle-aged man had a simple and honest face and wiped his rough hands on his linen pants.
"Please tell me in detail what's going on here? I'll see if there's anything we can do to help."
"Okay! Please come over here. Are you hungry? We are just about ready for breakfast."
After hearing what the other party said, Su Ming realized that it was only morning now. The seemingly long battle and escape actually did not take much time.
"Please lead the way."
…
A few simple wooden boards put together will make a dining table, and two stones of the same height and a long wooden stick tied together in the middle will make a bench.
Then, the containers used to hold food are tin cans. This morning we had porridge with sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves floating in it.
"Wow! Do you grow your own rice?"
Yang Yangyang showed a surprised expression, and he seemed to have returned to his nonchalant character.
But they all knew that this apparent dishonesty was just Yang Yangyang's habitual disguise. They had all seen how reliable Yang Yangyang was in high-pressure situations.
"Well, it just doesn't taste very good."
“Where did rice seeds come from in the first place?”
"I don't know about that either. When I came here eight years ago, this area was already planted with various crops. Although there aren't many edible things , the quantity is not small. If we cultivate them carefully, it will be enough to feed everyone."
Having said this, Liu Hu sighed deeply.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many children?"
“They are all from the village, and some were pulled in by this terrifying space… In addition, I also came in from outside.
In short, this place is the only safe place now. Those zombies are afraid of sunlight, so they are fine during the day.
At night, everyone goes upstairs to sleep, and then the ladder is removed to ensure safety.
Those monsters don’t have much brains, and although they are very strong, they won’t chew on wooden pillars. Plus, they have people protecting them, so nothing has happened to them over the years.”
Wang Qiang took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Incredible, I didn't expect you to have lived in a place like this for so long."
"You'll get used to it. In fact, as long as you get used to it, those dead beasts are nothing to be afraid of. You are from outside, right? Many people who came from outside have died before... What a pity." Liu Hu sighed.
"Have you met anyone else from outside?"
"I met a few of them, but they left later. I remember it was three or four years ago. No one has come to our village for a long time." Liu Hu sighed.
"Have you ever met a little girl? Her name is Chu Xiaoxiao."
"Ah! You're talking about Xiaoxiao! Daisy brought her back when she was out. She's here. She kept crying a few days ago, but she's much better now!"
Su Ming nodded, turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "This person is telling the truth. This is getting interesting."
