Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 88 Animal Skin Girl
There is no special mountain road on this mountain. It took Lin Rantong and his party nearly two hours to reach the foot of the mountain. During this period, they harvested no less than ten crystal nuclei of first-order mutant beasts. It was one that was not encountered.This second-order mutated beast already has simple wisdom. Seeing so many people in Lin Rantong, he could realize the danger and hid a long time ago. It's not easy to come across them.

Standing at an intersection, Ma Xiaoyan held Bai's hand reluctantly: "Sister Bai, do you really want to leave? How nice it is to be with us."

Bai Bai smiled brightly: "Xiaoyan, I also like to stay with everyone, but I still have relatives here. I almost stumbled when I sneaked out this time. I still have to go back to find them. stay with them."

"Hmph." Ma Xiaoyan heard that Bai rejected her again, and finally couldn't save face. She raised her chin habitually and stopped looking at her.

White smiled helplessly.

Lin Rantong looked at this woman with a unique temperament, and said, "Bai, it's a pity that you can't walk with us. I wish you a safe journey."

The two women shook hands lightly, Bai Bai walked forward and gently hugged Ma Xiaoyan who was still fighting and Tang Tang who was standing aside, waved to everyone, and gradually walked further and further under the gaze of everyone.

"Okay, little girl, there is always a feast in the world, what are you doing with your face crossed all the time?" Walking on the road, Ma Zhi looked at Ma Xiaoyan's awkward look and said.

"Who is holding his face, is he born good?" Ma Xiaoyan gave him a white look.

At a corner, Wei Xiuning who had been walking in front suddenly stopped, causing Xia Yongjia to bump into him.

"What's going on, huh?" Xia Yongjia opened his mouth wide in surprise as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lin Rantong took two quick steps and followed the line of sight of the two, only to see a tall girl who was also stunned in shock.

This girl, like Lin Rantong, has an oval face, but her eyes are like two purple grapes, big and attractive, and her hair is just below her shoulders, with wine red at the tip, obviously dyed before the end of the world.Although it looks a bit messy, it can't hide its delicate appearance.

Everyone was not surprised by the sudden appearance of a person, nor was it surprised by the sudden appearance of a handsome and pleasant girl. , no wonder the men were stunned.

The girl finally came to her senses. With a scream of "ah", she turned around and ran away. After running for two steps, she seemed to remember something, then came back, quickly picked up the wild boar carcass that fell on the ground, and ran away in a hurry.

Is this the god horse situation?

Everyone looked at the smoke and dust that hadn't dissipated on the road, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Uh, Rantong—" Xia Yongjia touched his ears and said in a deliberate manner.

"What's the matter?" Lin Rantong glanced at him.

"Are all of you women screaming so powerfully?"

Lin Rantong sized him up with a smile: "Don't you need to change your pants?" Satisfied to see Xia Yongjia's face flushed, he remained silent.

"Captain, why did a girl suddenly appear here? It seems that there is a gathering place nearby." Ma Zhi said.

Now the surviving human beings, in addition to going to the official bases, many will choose to build their own bases or join privately established bases.Thinking of the underground river he found in the cave before, Lin Rantong nodded secretly. From this point of view, it is not surprising that there are survivors here.No matter how big or small a base is, if it wants to survive, the water source must be solved, or there are people with water abilities in this group of people.Of course, if there were only people with water abilities, it would be impossible to support a large-scale base.

"Do you want to follow and have a look?" Xia Yongjia looked at Lin Rantong inquiringly.

Lin Rantong nodded. Anyway, if you go to the central part, you have to go through this road. You can't meet one person and everyone has to detour.

Although in the Pearl Base, everyone was counted once, but it is true to learn the lesson. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, there is no need to be afraid of grass ropes.The probability of a supernatural being appearing is one in a thousand. Generally speaking, it is no problem for everyone to protect themselves.

The road under everyone's feet is a highway, but many plants grow out, and the road arch is fragmented. After passing through a road with thick weeds, a small village appears on the side of the road.

Dozens of people stood not far away, some with hoes in their hands, some with axes in their hands, all kinds of people, all of them stood not far away with alert faces and stared at Lin Rantong and his party. The body is covered with animal skins, and the one on the right in the middle is the animal skin girl.

While Lin Rantong and the others were looking at each other, the other side was also looking at them.

"You guys, what do you want to do?" A young man holding a hoe finally couldn't help shouting, seeing that Lin Rantong's clothes were dirty but new, and they looked good, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Lin Rantong noticed the young man's movements and squinted his eyes. Those who can survive until now in the apocalypse are really not fools.

Next to him, a very calm middle-aged man in his fifties shouted at the young man: "Little Tiger, who told you to talk to the guests like that!" Turning around, he smiled at Lin Rantong and the others: "Everyone has come from afar, just look at the sky. It's getting late, if you don't mind coming to our village for a while?" After finishing speaking, he stared closely at the expressions of everyone.

Lin Rantong and the others exchanged glances, Xia Yongjia stepped forward and said, "Then excuse me."

Lin Rantong noticed that the middle-aged man's body stiffened slightly, and then said with a smile: "Then please follow me."

Following behind, Lin Rantong glanced around without a trace, and found that many people seemed to be inconvenient to move.

Everyone in the Ivy team followed these people into the village and paid attention to the surrounding environment.

There are not many houses in the village, and many of them can be seen to be abandoned. After walking for a while, the middle-aged man stopped in front of a house with blue tiles and red walls: "This is my house, and it is quite spacious. If you don’t dislike it, just rest here for one night.” He opened the door and led the crowd in, and waved to them: “You all go away, Miss Wang, go and pack the wild boar that Xiaomo hunted today to entertain the guests. , Xiaomo, go and pour some water."

The animal skin girl pursed her mouth, shaking her long wine-red hair and walking towards a door.

The middle-aged people said they were warm and polite, but Lin Rantong found that those people had a look of reluctance on their faces. It is no wonder that they have to entertain a group of irrelevant people for no reason, let alone now, even before the end of the world People don't want to either.On the contrary, this middle-aged man is so polite and courteous, does he have other plans, or is he too thorough?
Everyone in the Ivy Squad sat on chairs, and Xia Yongjia came forward to exchange greetings with the middle-aged man.The man didn't ask any embarrassing topics, just where he came from, where he went, etc. Xia Yongjia laughed at him with a simple and honest face.

The animal skin girl called Xiao Mo came over with a few glasses of water and put them on the coffee table, then turned and walked out.

Lin Rantong heard the complaints coming from the kitchen with his excellent hearing: "Xiaomo, who did you run into today? Why did the village chief invite them to his house?"

"That's right, Xiaomo, you worked so hard to get this wild boar, and the people in the village didn't get much of it, and you made them a feast, alas." Another voice said.

"Okay, Aunt Wang, don't talk about it, my father has his reasons for doing this."

"Oh, girl, what you said is right. If it weren't for the village chief, the grass in front of our graves would have grown so tall. The world is in trouble. How many battles have been fought for that river? It’s not Xiaomo that you can treat their wounds, we don’t know how many people will die in our village!”

"Aunt Wang, what are you talking about? I just hope that Dad won't lure wolves into the house. Those passing by are not good people!" It was Xiaomo's voice again.

Then, Lin Rantong heard the sound of "bang bang bang" chopping meat.

Not long after, a woman in her fifties with a yellow complexion brought up a large pot of braised wild pork.The girl following behind was carrying a tray of sweet potatoes.

Xiao Mo put down the tray and sat next to the middle-aged man, while the yellow-faced woman stared at the braised pork before turning to leave.

"Sister Wang, stay here for dinner." The man said.

The woman's face was struggling, she looked at the food on the table involuntarily, she still shook her head and said: "The village head entertains distinguished guests, there is no reason for me to serve the table, I will eat with Xiao Huzi and the others." After speaking, she turned around out.

It seems that the life of the people in this village is not good. Not only the clothes can only be covered with animal skins, but even the mutated animal meat that mutants and supernatural beings don’t care about in the Pearl Base is considered a delicacy. Then, the people in this village There will never be many masters among people. Seeing Xiaomo sitting at the side with a calm expression, she obviously has a certain status in the village and is used to being respected and sought after by people. It's just that she doesn't know whether she is a mutant or a supernatural person. Turned these thoughts, but did not move chopsticks.Since dealing with these people, Xia Yongjia has always been the leader, and the village head obviously regards him as the leader.

"Hehe, there is really nothing to entertain in the village, I hope you don't dislike it." The village chief said, seeing that several people were sitting still without chopsticks, he first picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, swallowed it and turned his head to face Xiao Mo said: "Xiao Mo, your Aunt Wang's skills are getting better and better, you need to learn more."

Xiao Mo nodded, and suddenly asked Xia Yongjia with big eyes flashing, "Brother, have you ever been to Pearl Base?"

Seeing that everyone in Xia Yongjia was slightly taken aback, Xiao Mo continued, "I heard that there are flush toilets, markets, and shops there like before the end of the world. People won't starve to death. Is it true?"

"Uh, almost." Xia Yongjia replied.

"Then why are you still leaving?" Xiao Mo asked with a pure face.

Xia Yongjia narrowed his slender eyes: "We are all supernatural beings. We went there to learn how to use the crystal nucleus. After learning, we will naturally leave."

The author has something to say: Mo Qianwu children's shoes, your little Mo has appeared.In addition, Liu Ye was beaten by the editor yesterday, saying that the subscription was not good enough, it was so embarrassing, and he had a cold and had no code words.Seeing that no matter how busy or tired the children are at work, Liu Ye has never stopped updating, so I appeal to children's shoes to support genuine reading as much as possible, and support Liu Ye.
