"Am I entering a monster's den?"
Riding a horse on the road in the small town, looking sideways at the figures gathered around him, Athir's eyes gradually turned cold.
Although the people around looked normal, they all had a strange aura about them, but they hid it so deeply that it was not easy to be discovered.
In the chip test, except for the little girl named Bonnie, the physical fitness of the other villagers was not normal. Even the elderly who looked very old, actually had physical fitness that was almost comparable to that of some elite soldiers.
In addition to these, Athir also discovered some other strange things on the surface.
Located in the danger zone, this town is not very big, but there are at least dozens of people coming out of this town. Including those residents who have not appeared yet, there are probably hundreds of people.
Among these dozens of people, there were men, women, and old people, but no children. Even the youngest was like Bonnie, already in his teens.
Of course, strictly speaking, this phenomenon is not too strange. After all, it is not easy to ensure your own safety when living in a dangerous area. Children have weak survival abilities, so it is not too strange for them to die in accidents.
Around Athir, Sidem and others didn't think so much.
As more and more people gathered around them, their vigilance slowly subsided, and they felt somewhat friendly towards the lively crowd around them.
However, they did not notice that among the people watching around them, some people had a faint green light flashing in their eyes.
These people stood at the edge of the corner, staring at Athir and the others, with a strange look in their eyes, as if they were looking at dead people.
After a while, the rain outside started to fall, and the raindrops wet the ground.
"This rain is going to last a long time."
In the spacious living room, looking at the rain falling outside, Athir spoke.
"yes."
Meanwhile, Blue walked up to the group and said to them, "Based on my experience, this rain should last at least two days. You may have to stay here for a while."
"Excuse me." Athir turned around and said.
"It's okay." Blue waved his hand: "We haven't had any guests here for a long time, and you guys have paid us, so it's not a bother."
Just as he finished speaking, a thin figure slowly approached from the side.
She was a little girl about seven or eight years old, wearing a tattered red cloth robe. She had a chubby face and looked very cute.
"Amy, is the room ready?"
Looking at the little girl, Blue smiled kindly on his wrinkled face and asked her.
Looking at the smile on Blue's face, under his gaze, the little girl had a dull expression and did not speak, but just nodded slightly.
"What a cute child." A voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Lati walked forward with a gentle smile on her face: "Little friend, how old are you this year?"
Hearing Latti's question, the little girl named Amy also smiled, but didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry, Amy can't talk."
Looking at Lati, Blue walked over to Amy and touched her head: "This child was born unable to speak. She is already ten years old this year, and there is no sign of improvement."
As he spoke, his face was kind and there was a hint of regret on his face.
Hearing this, Lati was stunned: "What a pity... Such a good child."
On the side, Athir's eyes were also fixed on Amy.
"Tongue tissue is missing, vocal cords are abnormally damaged, the possibility of man-made damage is 97.4%..." The voice of the chip machine sounded again in my mind.
"Is this child your granddaughter?"
Standing in place, Athir suddenly interrupted.
Opposite him, Blue was stunned at first when he heard Athir's question, and then he reacted: "Yes, she is my favorite granddaughter, just like Bonnie."
"What's wrong?" He looked at Athir with some confusion.
"No, it's okay." Athir smiled and said, "Since the room is ready, take us to have a look."
Hearing this, Blue nodded: "Please come with me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked away with Athir and the others.
After a while, they walked to one side of the room.
"I'm sorry, because there haven't been any guests for a long time, I only have three rooms left."
Walking here, Blue turned to look at Athir and the others and asked: "What arrangements do you plan to make?"
"Sir, how about you and Lati each have a room, and I can share a room with the others?"
Listening to what Blue said in front of him, Sidm stood up and suggested.
Athir was the lord, so it was impossible for him to share a room with his subordinates. Lati was a woman, and she was also a student of the lord Athir, so it was not appropriate for her to be squeezed together with the other guards.
Looking around, Athir shook his head and said, "The room here is not that big. There is too little space for more than a dozen of you to squeeze together."
"Letty and I will share one room, and you will occupy the remaining two rooms."
He remained calm and looked at the people in front of him and said.
As soon as these words came out, Lati's face beside Athir suddenly turned red.
She lowered her head and secretly glanced at Athir in front of her, but in the end she didn't say anything.
At the same place, there was a hint of realization in the eyes of the others, and they instinctively turned their eyes to Lati.
Standing next to Athir, Lati was wearing a black robe that covered her entire body. Although her appearance was very ordinary, she was also somewhat delicate. At this moment, she lowered her head with a rosy face, looking somewhat moving.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Lati's face became even redder. She lowered her head embarrassedly but said nothing.
Seeing her like this, everyone present immediately smiled knowingly.
After a while, they quickly walked to their respective rooms.
The three rooms are separate, each with a distance between them.
Except for the room where Athir was, there were at least six or seven people living in each of the other two rooms.
After the rooms were assigned, Athir walked under the eaves, quietly watching the rain outside getting heavier.
While walking on the road, he suddenly looked to the side.
There, Bruna's old figure gradually emerged.
"It's getting late, aren't you ready to rest, sir?"
Walking on the road, looking at Athir, Blue's face was obviously a little surprised.
"It's not too late yet, so take advantage of this moment and come out to see the scenery here."
Looking at Blue, Athir said casually: "This town is much better than I thought."
"well···"
Walking to Athir's side and listening to his words, Blue sighed: "A lot of things happened in this town back then, and almost everyone in the town died."
"Can you tell me about it?"
Listening to his words, Athir turned around and said.
"There's nothing much to say." Blue smiled and said, "About three or four years ago, this area entered an outbreak period, and our town was also affected, and many people died."
"I don't know what happened later, but the strange things suddenly disappeared, which allowed us to survive and not all die."
Standing there, Blue sighed: "Because of the strange reasons that broke out in the past, the mutant monsters around the town also disappeared, leaving the town intact."
"That's not bad."
At the original place, Athir's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke quietly: "Being able to live in a stable place is enough to be envied by people from other places."
"yes."
As if remembering something, Blue nodded in agreement, and then said, "Although this area is relatively safe, it's best not to go out at night."
"After all, this area has been affected by strange things before. At night, some strange things may happen."
"I understand." Athir's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded.
After a while, when the rain outside became heavier, he turned and walked towards his room.
Behind him, watching Athir's leaving figure, Blue's originally kind expression suddenly became gloomy.
His eyes gradually turned green, and at this moment he stared at Athir's back, as if thinking about something.
Back to the previous room, inside, Lati was tidying up the room, neatly spreading the sheets and other things on the table on the wooden bed.
"Lord Athir."
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, she turned to look at Athir, her face flushed.
"Have Sydum and his companions been here?"
Walking into the room and looking around, Athir asked.
On the wooden table, there were some bacon and dry food. They had not been seen in the room before, so they must have been brought in just now.
"These were brought by Sydem."
Looking at Athir, Lati lowered his head and said, "Sydem and the others thought it was safer to use their own things, so they refused the food brought by the residents here and took some dry food from the gifts."
"He did the right thing." Athir smiled and nodded.
When traveling, this kind of caution is indeed worthy of recognition.
After a while, it gradually darkened outside.
Looking at the sky outside and Athir in front of her, Lati bit her lip lightly: "My Lord...it's getting late now, let's rest first."
After listening to her words, Athir turned and looked at Lati beside him, feeling a little surprised.
Although he has been alone most of the time in his three lifetimes, he is not a fool either.
What Lati meant was clear enough, and anyone could understand it.
However, Athir himself had no interest in this.
It's not that there is anything taboo, it's just that the place is not appropriate.
If you are still thinking about all kinds of messy things when there is something obviously wrong in front of you, you are probably looking for death.
Thinking of this, Atier shook his head secretly, then turned around and looked out the door, keeping an eye on any movement outside.
Sorry, I feel dizzy... There will only be one update tonight.
