Chapter 5 Round Bridge Village

Near Ping'an Town, Yuanqiao Village.

Yuanqiao Village is under the jurisdiction of Ping'an Town, but its location is remote, with a distance of more than ten kilometers from the town.

There is a hill several hundred meters high in the north of Yuanqiao Village. At the foot of the hill is a forest farm covering an area of ​​tens of acres. It is said that there were rumors of rare animals in the forest, which attracted a group of experts and tourists.

It's a pity that the rumors are rumors after all. In fact, the forest farm behind Yuanqiao Village doesn't have any precious animals at all. It's just the villagers' rumors, but there are many snakes, rats and ants.

In addition, a major incident happened in Yuanqiao Village recently, and the whole village was completely deserted.

But today, another group of "guests" came here.

According to the information obtained by Master Bai, the "murderer" who harmed the nearby villages is in the forest farm behind Yuanqiao Village, and within a few hundred miles nearby, only this forest farm can hide a huge strange beast.

"Alien beast" is a name that has been mentioned repeatedly in the history textbooks of the last three hundred years.

The records of the last three hundred years are the war between humans and alien beasts, and alien beasts are natural disasters for ordinary people.

This is also the reason why Li Goudan didn't come with his colleagues after hearing the rumors about the alien beast.

Because ordinary people are cowardly, even if the rumors about alien beasts are false, they would not dare to risk themselves.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the first village Lei Yi encountered after crossing was destroyed by a strange beast attack, and now he actually wants to deal with the strange beast that attacked the village.

Several "steel behemoths" drove into Yuanqiao Village. This is the vehicle of the man in black. It is more than twice the size of an ordinary car, and it is enough to carry Lei Yi and the others on their way.

Yuanqiao Village is a small village with only dozens of households. There is a circular arch bridge at the entrance of the village, hence the name.

The capacity of the arch bridge is limited, so Lei Yi and his party naturally got off the car at the entrance of the village, and Master Bai led the way into the village.

When we arrived at our destination, it was almost evening, and the sky was much darker.

"Master Bai, take your people to search the forest farm, and the village should be on alert!"

When walking into the village, the leader of the men in black looked at the sky, and raised his hand to give an order to Master Bai.

"A Biao, take someone to inspect the forest farm and the village to see if there are any clues, be careful!" Master Bai didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered his capable men.

"Listen everyone, you will act together with me later!" A Biao walked to Lei Yi and the others, and began to count the number of people.

In this way, the townspeople of Ping'an Town merged with several subordinates in Master Bai's mansion, and A Biao, a group of men in black, could not command them, so they were not counted.

Lei Yi was assigned to patrol around, but before leaving, he glanced at the group of men in black, and his eyes swept over the man wearing the black skull mask in the crowd many times.

"Who is he, and who are these people, they must have some plans!" He pondered in his heart.

But he was just eating and drinking, and Master Bai gave money to do things, so naturally he didn't care who Master Bai did things for.

Who doesn't "work" for others these days, the difference is that you have to listen to whomever you take the money from.

After some arrangements, A Biao divided the team into several small teams, took care of each other and spread out in all directions, entered the forest farm in several directions, and then left a few people to patrol the village.

Because Lei Yi was a little young, he was assigned to patrol the village, while some of the middle-aged men in the village and Master Bai's subordinates mostly left.

Seeing the crowd disperse quickly, the man in black and Master Bai exchanged glances, and walked into a small two-story building in the center of the village.

As soon as Master Bai entered the door, he asked, "My lord, is that strange beast really here?"

In fact, he has no reliable information. This time, the manpower was organized because of the other party's signal, so after he really arrived at the place, he still had to ask a question as usual.

"Don't worry about this, Jingui City is located in the south,

Most of the surrounding areas are plains, and the animal's animal nature is still there. It will definitely choose a forest farm covered by mountains as its territory. Within a diameter of 50 kilometers, there is no place to hide other than here. According to intelligence, the last attack was only in the last few days, and the beast will not migrate in a short time! "

The leader held a few blank sheets of paper, densely written on them, and he flipped through them with a trace of confidence on his face.

"This time, we must capture the strange beast before the news leaks out. This is the task given to us by the superior!"

"But it's a strange beast after all. We are all ordinary people here this time. If we really meet a strange beast, what should we do?" Master Bai worried.

"Hmph, don't worry about this matter. The organization has sent a 'special envoy' to help us this time. The strength of that alien beast is limited, and the special envoy alone is enough!"

The leader pointed to the man wearing a skull mask, his tone extremely confident.

"The higher-ups ordered that the beast should be captured alive!" the latter reminded in a cold voice after hearing the words.

His tone was hoarse and filled with a sense of coldness.

As soon as Master Bai heard these words, he knew that the other party was definitely not a kind person.

The other party is likely to be a dangerous person who licks blood with a knife, and may also be a legendary "big shot", so I must not provoke him.

"I understand." He nodded with a solemn expression.

It was getting dark.

Yuanqiao Village, the east end of the village.

Lei Yi cautiously walked into a small earthen house, looked around and found nothing.

"Lei Ergou, hurry up, after patrolling here, there are still two places!" Behind him, a man urged.

A Biao, Master Bai's subordinate, divided them into patrol teams of three, and Lei Yi and two other townspeople from Ping'an Town acted together.

But the other two didn't intend to do their best. They pretended to take a few glances before planning to go to the next location.

"Didn't you smell it?" Lei Yi asked curiously instead of coming out of the earthen room.

"Smell, what smell?"

The two people in the back looked at each other and pretended to sniff, but they didn't smell anything.

"Second dog, it's not like your dog's nose smelled something, we don't have your nose spirit!"

"Hahaha……"

The laughter of the two people sounded, and Lei Yi could clearly hear what the two of them meant.

Seeing that Lei Yi was unmoved, the two of them were afraid of affecting the rest time, and the other immediately urged: "Come out soon, after the inspection, go back early and be lazy!"

For them, they can get 500 credit points a day by just walking around. How can there be such a good thing, and they don't seek the truth to find anything.

As for finding the "alien beast" that has been rumored recently, they are even praying to gods and worshiping Buddha in their hearts, so they have to meet them.

"It smells like blood..." Lei Yi muttered in a low voice, but the other two "companions" obviously didn't hear it.

"Three days, or four days, anyway, someone died here recently..."

"Hey, that's strange, how can I tell?"

He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

This is not right because of the bloody smell here, but because I can actually smell that someone died here, and I can also calculate the time based on the bloody smell.

"Is it possible that I really have a 'dog nose'?"

Lei Yi shook his head, suppressed this funny thought, and quickly followed the two people in front.

Next, when he made his rounds, he kept an eye out, and would stay a little longer in every place he went, which naturally made the other two very dissatisfied.

"Hmph, Ergou, are you just looking for something to do? You said it was an inspection, so you can just take a look. You insist on doing those jobs, and you will waste our brother's rest time for nothing!"

A town finally couldn't bear it anymore, and vented after the tour.

"That's right, that's right, it's getting dark, why don't you go to bed early today, why don't you delay!"

The other person also showed disdain, and it was obvious that he did not plan to form a team with Lei Yi.

"In this case, I will do it by myself next time I make an inspection tour. Whatever you want to do is not my business!"

Lei Yi wouldn't put his face on someone's cold ass, so he stopped immediately.

"Okay, what I'm waiting for is your words."

In this way, Lei Yi and the two "teammates" were officially disbanded.

"The smell of blood reminds me that the strange beast has probably entered the forest farm, so the team that patrols inside may be in danger!"

Lei Yi turned his head to look at the forest farm in the north of the village and the low hillside, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

I don't know if there are really strange beasts, and he is also very curious about what the strange beasts look like, and whether they are as huge and ferocious as the illustrations posted in the textbooks.

...

sunset.

North of Yuanqiao Village, inside the forest farm.

Although the forest farm has only a few tens of acres of land, the trees are dense and the branches and leaves are flourishing, so the visibility here is not high and it is a bit dim.

The people inside the forest farm were divided into two groups by A Biao, and the two groups patrolled each other at a distance of 100 meters, so that the two groups could take care of each other.

When a group of two walked around, their feet trampled on the vines and dead branches on the ground, making a crisp sound of "click, click, click".

In this quiet forest farm, the voice was a bit harsh.

"Old Uncle Zhang, why haven't you come to drink with my dad recently?"

Seeing that the surroundings were too quiet, a young man in the team started chatting with the people around him in order to embolden himself.

"Recently, my kid has to prepare for the exam, and the kid's mother won't let me go out, let alone drink, and I can't even smoke a cigarette!"

The old Uncle Zhang who was questioned shook his head and smiled wryly, pouring out bitter water.

"No wonder, but I remember that the college entrance examination started in mid-June, and it's only March now, and there are still more than three months. Could it be that you..." The young man nodded in understanding.

"That's not it, it's suffocating me. Now I go out to drink in secret, and I only take a sip, but I don't dare to drink too much."

"Don't talk about me, it's you boy, how are you doing with that girl Cuihua recently?"

Old Uncle Zhang didn't want to talk about his family affairs, so he changed the topic immediately.

"Hehehe..." The young man chuckled, revealing a shy smile.

"My father will arrange it for me. If Master Bai gives enough money this time, I will kiss Cuihua when I go back..."

As the young man spoke, his face turned red, but the surroundings were dim, so it was not very conspicuous.

"Hahaha, okay, your kid is going to ask for a wife too. This is a great event, and I have to have a drink with your father!" Old Uncle Zhang was equally happy when he heard that.

"call--"

Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded in the distance.

Old Uncle Zhang and the young man paused, and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of the wind.

"It's strange. The north side of the forest farm is leaning against the hillside. How could there be wind blowing from there?"

Old Uncle Zhang shook his head, apparently puzzled.

"It stands to reason that there are so many trees in the forest farm, even if there is wind, they can't blow in. Could it be..."

"Roar--"

A beast's roar sounded from behind them, and Uncle Zhang's crotch felt cold, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to turn his head.

Because he understood that the two of them probably met that strange beast.
