The torment of the long winter has passed, and the temperature has returned to more than ten degrees. The four people at the end of the street have all taken off their heavy cotton-padded clothes and put on old and cracked leather armor.
With a sallow complexion and thin muscles, he looked like a refugee.
The two groups of people faced each other on both sides of the street. They were both convinced that each other was not a monster, but a living person who could communicate, and their vigilance dropped.
Then, Xiang En saw four people coming over on his own initiative.
"Are you from outside?"
After getting within twenty meters, the woman who just spoke looked at them from side to side, and said curiously: "It seems like you are having a good time?"
Xiang En and the other two also looked at the four people approaching, trying to judge their status from their appearance. Their gazes had more of a feeling of seeing rare animals.
People used to be everywhere, but now, what the heck!
The four people who suddenly appeared had thin faces with obvious lack of food, and the leader was a woman.
She has a rather special short gray hair, green eyes, and a heroic face. She is not tall, probably around thirty years old, and her aura is stronger than the three men beside her.
The position of the three men was also one step smaller than that of the gray-haired woman. They were all nondescript people with ordinary clothes, ordinary weapons, and the same eyes as Xiang En and the other four.
Both sides had a brief exchange with their eyes, then Xiang En took a slight step forward, continued to look at the gray-haired woman, and said lukewarmly: "It's just a fluke, there are many risks along the way. It's great to be able to see a living person." Okay, my name is Xiang En, and these are Andrea, Marky, and Duncan."
Markey and Duncan smiled like adventurers and didn't take the initiative to speak. They just stood quietly as a backdrop.
The gray-haired woman glanced at the four people and twitched the corners of her mouth. Xiang En's attitude reminded her of the "real" situation of the four Xiang En's journey.
It was probably a arduous journey, and he might even have done some inhumane things in order to survive.
With this association, it is true that Xiang En and the four of them were in great condition. Except for their slightly dry lips, they seemed to be fine.
Comparing the two sides, they are more like hungry people.
But so what
"Just call me Naka." The gray-haired woman Naka twitched the corners of her stiff mouth and glanced at Andrea, who was vaguely blocking Xiang En. Her attitude seemed lukewarm.
The three people behind her also showed yellow-toothed smiles, their eyes fell on Andrea's face, and they said their names with a strange smile.
The names of the three people were automatically ignored by Xiang En. His eyes were always on Naka, and he asked curiously: "Are there only four of you?"
"What? You want to eat us?" Naka raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiang En, her tone was teasing, "You may have chosen the wrong target. We don't have anything edible on us, and you don't look like you are in need." food… "
When Naka said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the backpacks on the backs of the four people, obviously curious about whether there was anything in them.
"Although we are quite short of food, we won't rob you. It's not easy to see the same kind of people, so let's give them more trust."
"We are just here to scavenge. I kind of like those exclusive words for prairie people, haha!" Naka showed a strange smile again, which was very similar to the way she looked when she pulled the corners of her mouth. It was hard to tell what she meant. What emotions are expressed.
"You are right about one thing. People are a scarce resource nowadays. Seeing living people makes people happier than seeing gold coins."
"So there are only four of you?" Xiang En was still obsessed with this point.
Maybe after hearing the repeated words, Naka spread his hands and said: "You are so annoying! We all just got together temporarily, and there are twenty-five people in a nearby noble manor. If you have anything, you can go to a full manor. I don’t want to waste my saliva on this guy with a shitty head.”
After speaking, she turned around and led Xiang En and the others deeper into the town. She was really not good at communicating, especially with people who weren't straightforward enough.
But after walking for a while, Naka couldn't help but talk to Xiang En again.
"People would come here occasionally before, but we haven't seen new people for a long time. It's a coincidence that you came here."
Xiang En looked at Andrea, who was frowning slightly, and lowered his head to see her hand holding the handle of the knife. She had been like this since hearing what Naka said about the noble manor.
This is the territory of the Alva family. Among the noble manors in the area, there is only Andrea's home.
After returning home after all the hard work, things are just different and people are different. The home seems to be occupied. Who can bear this!
He reached out and gently held Andrea's hand holding the handle of the knife. After Xiang En gave her a relieved look, he chatted with Naka.
After taking the initiative to ask, Xiang En found out that Naka came here from another small town following a group of teams running for survival.
The leader of that team was the leader of an adventure group with only eight people under him. Five days after the infection appeared in the city, the leader took those who were willing to leave the city to the territory of the Alva family.
As for the reason for coming to this humble barony, Naka kept it secret, saying that they would find out when they meet the person who has shit in his head.
"Did you meet anyone at the manor?"
After roughly understanding the situation, Andrea couldn't help but interject.
Naka looked back at Andrea and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, we are not the first group to come. You have to ask another group of people."
"Another group of people?"
"Yeah, another group of guys with piss in their brains, haha!" Speaking of the other group of people, Naka's tone was obviously sarcastic, "Fortunately, I have a brain, otherwise my brain would be filled with urine. Pee. Both groups of people were either feces or urine. I think it is an incredible miracle that they can survive."
Xiang En, who was following behind, felt his mouth twitch. Although the adventurer's words were a bit rough, he didn't have to be so straightforward. If he continued to speak, he would have to smell it.
Markey and Duncan on one side had no grudge against such words, and even felt a little cordial. This is obviously the real style of painting!
Naka was not untalkative. When she scolded those two groups of people, she kept talking. All kinds of insulting words, such as cow dung and flies, were flying one after another, which was extremely impactful.
Occasionally, the three people who were actively ignored by Xiang En would talk to him and help him scold him.
The four people obviously hated those two groups of people, but they had to rely on them.
During the exchange, the four Nakas came to a house at the end of the street, picked up several large cloth bags on the ground, and continued walking out of the town.
After leaving the town, they set foot on a gravel road, with sparse woods ahead of their sight.
Xiang En looked at Andrea, who looked at this familiar road and took deep breaths frequently.
She was about to go home, but there was no joy in her heart.
Because she was worried that when she returned, she would not see a warm home, but a fragmented and sad memory.
It seems that No. 1 is no longer on the shelves, after all, my update is too crotch-inducing.
