The village entrance of Xiaozhou Village is like most bases. Various building materials are used to mix hard demon bodies, and high defensive walls are built, city gates, enemy towers, and arrow towers.
The broken flags on the city wall have completely turned into tattered strips of cloth, drooping randomly on the top of the wall. There were no guards on the city wall, only a withered old man sitting on the watchtower. He glanced at the strangers who appeared at the intersection with his dying eyes, and determined that they were humans and not monsters, so he didn't mention them again. Looking back with interest, he continued to doze.
Inside a tall tower in the center of the town, stood two strange figures.
"Someone is here again, one after another, it's so greedy that it's disgusting." The voice sounded like a young man.
A monster with a human face and a bird body stood beside the man. The pure and beautiful girl's face was covered with black feathers, which merged with the huge body covered in black feathers. childish voice,
"There is one person that I am very concerned about." The color of the girl's clear eyes gradually changed, and the whole pupil showed a strange dark red, "It turned out to be him, the origin of all this, the owner of the holy blood."
"Ye Peitian? How did he come here. But it's okay, if it's him, he should be able to understand our pain best, and we have another powerful partner." The man's voice said softly, his His hair was swayed by the night wind, flashing a pale color that was not corresponding to the same age.
Chu Qianxun and his party stepped on the muddy water on the road and passed through the narrow doorway. A small town with many ancient architectural styles is revealed within the fence. On both sides of the muddy road, old-fashioned buildings with tile and wood structures and industrial-era buildings with brick-concrete structures are surrounded by green moss and vines. Street corners and eaves, with a dim and decadent atmosphere everywhere.
A corpse of a monster close to the size of a human was hanged upside down at the gate of the city. The corpse was completely dry, and it looked dark and thin. His arms with sharp claws were intertwined and hugged his shoulders tightly. The face looked very similar to a human being, and was frozen in the appearance before death. Some of the expressionless monsters were different, and he frowned in pain.
A pair of bat-like wings grew behind him. One wing tried to wrap half of his body, and the other was broken and drooped behind him.
All the way into the village, there are still several mummified monsters hanging like this. Gives a very uncomfortable feeling.
There were hardly any shadows of pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a piece of waste paper or two floated by, swirled in the air, and pasted it on the broken window of a certain house. The wind made a thunderous sound. Looking around, there are only a few houses in the middle of the densely forested buildings, lit by dim lights.
This place is almost like an abandoned dead city, without the appearance of a human gathering place.
The soles of everyone stepped on the water on the ground, and the sound of splashing water echoed in the silent street, which was particularly clear.
In the dark alley on the side of the road, a man in ragged clothes walked out. He looked dull, had a scruffy beard, and was covered in stains.
"Looks like a lunatic, do you want to ask him about the situation?" one of Kong Haobo's team members asked.
The homeless looked up and saw the crowd. After being sluggish for a moment, he suddenly became mad, waving half a mummified corpse and rushing towards the crowd frantically.
"It's you, you bad people, return my son to me!"
Kong Haobo slapped the homeless man in front of him, kicked him aside, and looked at the man rolling in the mud, Kong Haobo frowned tightly.
"There are still many residents here. Let's find a house with lights on and ask about the situation." Liu Hezheng said.
Outside a brightly lit house, the owner of the house heard that they were outsiders and didn't even open the window for them, saying through the window,
"The Institute of God's Love is in the east of the village. You can find the answers you want by yourself. Don't bother us again, outsiders."
On the side of the other house that was smoking from the cooking smoke, a high and simple grass hut was built. In the grass hut, a huge monster was chained by the neck, curled up and squatted in the corner.
Seeing the approach of the stranger, the monster raised its claws-sharp arm to block its face, showing a panicked expression.
A middle-aged woman opened the door and came out. She waved her broom impatiently, "Go away, go away, stranger. Don't come to disturb our lives."
Then she walked out the door with a bowl of food, and placed the steaming bowl in front of the monster. The bowl contained rough beans, not the flesh and blood needed by the monster. But the monster picked up the hot pot and swallowed.
The woman looked at the eating monster for a long time, sighed deeply, and turned back to the house.
The young Creation team members glanced at each other and slowly took a few steps back.
"According to the information we got, God's love has somehow created monsters with the power of monsters and still retains human consciousness." Liu Hezheng said, "God's love is trying to use the power of these half-human, half-demon monsters, Dominance on the battlefield. The last time we saw a canine man was one of the products of this research."
"Of course, most of the leftovers in this village are useless failures. Just like the one you see before your eyes. Many of them were once residents of this village."
The monster squatting in the corner, grabbed the food in the pot and kept stuffing it into his mouth, and at the same time showed a very anthropomorphic alert look, looking at everyone.
There was a chill in everyone's heart, and they felt sad that the limit of human evil could reach such an unbelievable level.
The sky was already very dark, and it was not suitable to explore the strange research institute that occupied a large area to the east of the village.
Chu Qianxun, Ye Peitian bid farewell to Kong Haobo and the others, and each found an uninhabited courtyard in the village to temporarily settle down.
"It's so cold," Chu Qianxun crouched by the bonfire in the yard, rubbing his hands together, "Is it winter already?"
In the past, the winter of X-star was very short, and humans in most areas seldom experienced cold winters. Now, it seems to have gotten rid of the dirt left by the high degree of industrialization of human beings through this natural disaster. clear up.
A few thin snowflakes fell from the sky, Chu Qianxun reached out to catch it, and turned around to show Ye Peitian the melting snowflakes, "It's already snowing."
Ye Peitian glanced at her, didn't answer, and lowered his head to add firewood to the fire. There was a crock pot on the bonfire, and a pot of turtledove soup was rolling in the crock pot.
Chu Qianxun put his face in front of Ye Peitian, and looked carefully at his face, which was covered with silver covering most of his face.
In fact, after entering Xiaozhou Village, Chu Qianxun felt a little depressed when she saw the scene along the way, and she couldn't help worrying about Ye Peitian who was involved in it.
Ye Peitian opened the crock pot on the fire. In addition to the whole turtle dove they had beaten in the jungle at the entrance of the village, the soup also added various mushrooms collected from the forest. and winter bamboo shoots. As the lid was lifted, a peculiar fragrance filled the air.
Xiaozhou Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a sparse population and dense vegetation, making it very easy to obtain wild game. After an autumn rain, among the vines and vines in the shade of the mountain forest, you can see all kinds of chubby edible fungi when you open the grass and leaves, but after a simple search, he got a lot of ingredients, and Chu Qianxun even returned. Found a few wild pine mushrooms.
Ye Peitian stretched out his hand and filled a bowl of hot soup, and handed it to Chu Qianxun. Chu Qianxun took a sip and took a sip. The thick soup full of nutrients needed by the body rolled down her throat, making her whole body comfortable.
Holding the hot soup in both hands, she sat side by side with Ye Peitian, watching the sporadic snowflakes that occasionally fell from the sky, and sipped this fragrant food.
Ye Peitian picked out the matsutake mushrooms in his bowl and put them in Chu Qianxun's bowl. Chu Qianxun couldn't help but stare at the man in front of him.
He is really good, so beautiful, so good at cooking, and so considerate and gentle. But the most seductive thing about him is when he's shy, he always has a spring face, red ears, a look that wants to avoid but secretly happy, pitiful and cute, people can't help but want to bully him even more .
Chu Qianxun sensed his intentions, even if he was a demon or something, he really liked him and wanted to be with him.
Ye Peitian's fair and slender fingers clasped the earthen bowl made of yellow sand, raised the bowl to his lips, took a sip, and exhaled a little white mist from his mouth. The light-colored thin lips were dyed a little cherry pink luster with the heat, which was sultry and sensual.
He seemed to be aware of Chu Qianxun's gaze, his lips under the silver mask immediately pursed, his Adam's apple rolled and his back slightly straightened.
Chu Qianxun put down the bowl, got close, took Ye Peitian's hand, and placed it in the palm of his own to rub it lightly.
"Pei Tian," she raised her head and stared at Ye Peitian's face, her eyes were full of her sincerity, "I like you very much, I want to be with you all the time, and eat your food every day."
Ye Peitian turned his head, the silver mask fixed on Chu Qianxun's eager gaze, his lips opened and closed several times, and finally he said three words dryly and with difficulty,
"Really?"
Chu Qianxun rubbed Ye Peitian's palm, raised it to his lips and kissed lightly on the cold back of his hand.
"Of course, when have I lied to you?"
Then she was pulled into her arms by a huge force. The man's hug was so hard, but the tight muscles seemed to be trying to restrain something.
"It turns out that it's all real, it's real."
Those broad palms held Chu Qianxun's face, and the man stared at him for a long time before he carefully dropped a kiss, which was so jerky and so hot.
He had been alone for too long, and suddenly met love, he just wanted to hug him tightly, desperately absorbing the warmth he had longed for for a long time.
Chu Qianxun stretched out his hands around his neck, his fingers running through his soft hair, soothing his excitement.
In response to this man's enthusiasm, she kissed him little by little until his cheeks were red, and imprisoned him on the tree trunk behind him, preventing him from retreating, so that he had to sink into the sweet abyss.
The white snowflakes fell from the silent night sky, fell into the world where monsters were rampant, stopped at the top of the tree, and fell under the tree to kiss the couple on the shoulders.
