Chapter 724
Tang Ming, "Since this is the case, do you know that there are some people here who are not from your village, but came here later?" Wu Yu's mouth twitched, "I don't know about this, there are tens of thousands of people here. people, I..."
This is really embarrassing for him, Tang Ming changed the way of asking, "I just want to ask you, among the people you know, is there anyone who is not a villager in this group."
Wu Yu frowned slightly, and then thought about it carefully, let alone, if it were normal, he would never remember it, but now he remembered it by accident.
"There is one, indeed there is one. One of my subordinates once said that they picked up a person? I said just throw it aside. That person doesn't seem to be a villager in this group."
Tang Ming nodded, "Take me to have a look."
Wu Yu, "I... I don't know who he is, I only know who the person who picked him up is, I'll take you to find him."
Tang Ming, "Go now, I will go to another place to investigate this matter later, so hurry up."
Wu Yu led him to find the original subordinate at the fastest speed, but now this person is no longer his subordinate, and he became very arrogant when facing him.
"Hey! Isn't this our boss? Why come to me when you have time?"
The corner of Wu Yu's mouth twitched, and he smiled, "It's not that I'm looking for you, but Mr. Tang is looking for you."
Then this person saw the tall figure following Wu Yu and was taken aback. Combined with what he said on the other side of the square just now, the meaning of coming to him now is self-evident.
"Then what... Mr. Tang? I don't know what advice Mr. Tang has?"
Tang Ming didn't beat around the bush either, "Did you hear what I just said? I saw you below, and you were also a member of the meeting. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
You've found it here, so what else can you hide?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "There is indeed something to say, but I am also... what... so I don't want... I don't want...to be misunderstood."
Wu Yu has been standing behind without saying a word, looking at his embarrassing expression with great interest, it has been a long time since the village was taken over by the capital base.
Wu Yu lost all his rights, and everyone can step on his head. Fortunately, some of the previous actions were a little loyal. They gathered together, but at least they were not bullied too much.
Tang Ming took a deep breath, "Where is that person now? Have you confirmed his identity?"
The corner of his mouth twitched, "I don't know which group's village he came from, he lives with me now, wait a minute, I'll call him out."
"No, I'm coming out."
Tang Ming looked at the person who came down the stairs, he looked really thin, but his complexion was not bad, it should have been raised during this period of time.
"Are you from the village of the group I mentioned?"
The other party didn't intend to hide anything, nodded, "I escaped from there."
Tang Ming, "How many escaped?"
"There were probably more than 30 of them, and they all escaped separately, because someone was chasing after me. I was lucky at the time, and accidentally fell into a crack. When they searched, they didn't find me, so I escaped unharmed." , and then crawled out from inside, wandered here alone, and was picked up by him and returned home."
''As for what other people you want to ask, I don't know, maybe they were all killed, or maybe someone was as lucky as me and escaped, all in all, I don't know about the others. "
Tang Ming, "Leave other people's questions aside, can I ask you about that village? How much do you know? I asked the villagers over there before, but everyone said the same thing and didn't know anything about it."
He sneered, "Of course they will say they don't know. If they say they know, they will definitely die a miserable death. After all, if they really say it..."
Tang Ming, "What's the matter? Could it be that the fat man still controls them with emperor insects? Can he control them with poison?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, "That's not true, but after such a long time, everyone is terrified of that fat man doing evil in the village. It's impossible to say that there are a few people from the capital base who can reassure them Tell you everything, since you can find me here, then I will tell you what I know."
"However, don't have too much hope, because I don't know much."
Tang Ming, "Just tell me, I'll just listen."
He took a deep breath, and casually began to talk from afar, "I didn't want to follow them when all the villages were grouped in the beginning, because that fat man is not a good guy, but my family said he was good, he was originally from the village. The cadre is also very popular in the village, and my family members think it is best to follow him."
"Although I thought he was not a good guy at the time, but with so many people walking with him, he couldn't say that he was the other party with so many of us, right? So after thinking about it, I followed him."
"It was not bad at the beginning. All the small villages got places to build their own small villages, and then everyone settled down. I thought life would go on like this, but I didn't expect..."
"An unexpected thing happened, that is... several villages close to our village were stolen, and the meat stored in many villages disappeared overnight."
"Of course this also includes our village. At that time, everyone thought it was incredible, because there were no large vehicles to transport these meats at that time, and the meat in the surrounding small villages was also enough to eat. No one would fail to figure out how to do this kind of thing."
"Even if you are temporarily hungry, do you just need it? A little food is enough, and you don't need to take so much."
Tang Ming thought of what the fat man said before, because of the food crisis, he gathered thousands of young and middle-aged men to go hunting and almost wiped out the entire army. It turned out to be like this.
He went on to say, "Because all the villages need to eat, they selected a relatively small group of mutated animals. The number of mutated animals in it is about 2000. We have more than [-] combat power here."
"Looking at it this way, it's actually okay. On average, three or four people deal with one mutant animal. In fact, that's true, because they carefully divide this group of mutant animals with tricks and kill them bit by bit, so until In the end, apart from a few injured people, everyone else was fine."
"At that time, all the villages divided these mutated animals according to the number of people who went out to hunt, which also eased the situation in the villages. But if the thief is not caught, we will not be able to rest assured for a day."
Tang Ming said, "That's right, did you get caught later?"
He shook his head, "Of course I didn't catch it, and I couldn't catch it at all, because the one who stole the things is our own people in the village. They dug a cave near the village to store food and put all the things in it."
"Of course, I only found out about it later. I didn't know it at the time. I only knew that after this hunting, the extra supplies disappeared not long after."
"And it's still the same villages. They searched and searched and found no clues, and then they started hunting again. After all, they couldn't find the thief. They still had to live their lives, but what they didn't expect was that the second time What greeted them was not success but failure, and it is true that they chose a group of mutated animals numbering around [-] to [-] at the beginning."
"It was good when they first started hunting, but when they were about to succeed, for some reason, a large group of mutant animals, numbering around [-], suddenly appeared not far away, and it seemed obvious that these two groups were before It should be a group, so they didn't have time to escape, and they were killed in pieces. In the end, only a few seriously injured people came back, but even if they came back, they only persisted for a few days and died like that. "
"In this way, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in several of our villages will not be able to survive. Fortunately, there is still someone to help us, that is, the fat man. After he knew about this, he sent someone over to talk to us. The people in the village discussed it, and after they were dispersed, they were thrown into other villages to live on their last days."
"Of course this seems to be a good idea, because without the mutant breeding man going out to hunt mutant animals, we don't have any source of food at all, so we can only follow his method."
"But the feeling of being dependent on others is really hard. What's more terrible is that those villages don't give us much food at all. I don't hate them, because it is already very difficult for them to maintain their own lives, and now they have to give us food. us……"
"And my idea at the time was to go back and look for it, if there were other things left behind. I just went back with the idea of trying, but I didn't expect that I would actually find it. It was the one I mentioned earlier. The stolen mutated animal meat that has been hidden in other places near the village."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, probably because when he thought of this incident, his heart was not smooth, after all...
"I just found that place by accident. When I saw the meat, I was stunned. I don't know how long I stood there blankly until there was a sound. It woke me up."
"I was terribly scared at the time, so I could only run inside and hide behind the meat. The cave was dark and filled with the bloody smell of mutated animals. It was so cold that I felt like I was going to freeze to death at any moment."
"And the people outside at that time were the fat man and a woman. These two people had been chatting all the time. I knew them both. That woman was a widow from our small village. She lived alone all the time. The first time I saw her, she looked sallow and thin, and her speech was weak, but I didn't expect..."
"I really didn't expect that when I looked through the gap, she was beautifully dressed, her face was ruddy and fair, and her hair was black and beautiful. If I didn't remember her appearance and her voice, I'm afraid I really thought it was two people. "
Tang Tianlan, "At that time they were chatting at the entrance of the cave, and they talked about the reasons for what happened in your villages?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, that's how it is. Everything is their strategy, and it's their strategy to destroy the small villages other than them."
"I thought it was strange at the time. If all the small villages disappeared, they would be so small in number that they could not be compared with the villages in the other two groups. But they later said that anyway, all the villages on their side would move ahead of time. I lived in the past, and I only knew when I heard them say that..."
"It turned out that those people who would move out of the village from time to time didn't mean to live in other villages, but were recruited away by this fat man, and after they left, they didn't tell the people in the village that the crisis was imminent. When I came, I saw the people of so many villages die one by one and be destroyed one by one."
It's not easy for Tang Ming to comment too much. For him now, everything is really hard to say.
"What happened later is easy to talk about. Fortunately, they just came here to confirm the mutated animal meat here. They left after a short chat. I took some meat inside and quietly left there. "
"After returning to the village before the village, I wanted to tell my grandma about it, but when I saw her appearance, I knew she had a few days to live."
"After thinking about it, I still didn't tell grandma about this, lest she get too excited and get mad, because my father and my second uncle both died in that hunt. For grandma... Losing two sons at once..."
He took a deep breath, "Then I found the head of the village where I lived at the time. He was a good man, and I knew he was a good man.
and was living alone, so I went to him and told him about it. "
"I still remember his expression. When he heard the news, he was stunned, but then he advised me not to do more because it is beyond our control."
"I was very angry at the time, why did I swallow my anger, why did I pretend I didn't know? Why did I do this? We obviously had the power to do so, so..."
Tang Ming, "What happened next? What did you do?"
He covered his face with his hands, took a deep breath, and then took several deep breaths, "I... didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything, maybe I was too excited at the time, and my voice was too loud. Big, or maybe someone was eavesdropping outside as soon as I walked in. In short, after I vented and left the village head's house, within two days what I knew spread to all the villages, including those who took us in. A village of the dying."
"But the only thing I'm thankful for is that the person who spread the news didn't disclose my identity, so I was safe at the time."
