Chapter 143 A village with living people?
"Hehe! It's not impossible for me to experience that kind of pain. If you're willing to give me that strange artifact you have, I'd be happy to experience that kind of pain!" Xu Wenchu said with a sly smile.
"Get lost!" Zhao Hai uttered a single word.
……
The next day, Xu Wenchu continued leading the convoy...
"Captain Xu, how come we've passed through another village? Aren't we going to search this village? Why didn't you tell us we were going to pass through a village today?" Wang Hu's voice also came from the loudspeaker.
Not only Wang Hu saw the village, but Zhao Hai and the others also saw it through the car window.
"Xu the charlatan, I've already told you, you're the team leader, stop reading novels. Look, it's all because of your reading novels that you've become so obsessed with them that you forgot to tell us you were going through a village!" Zhao Hai also scolded.
Passing through a village doesn't necessarily mean they have to go into the village to collect supplies, but Xu Wenchu should at least tell them about it.
"Zhao Hai, do you really think I forgot to mention it?" Xu Wenchu said irritably into the loudspeaker.
"I had absolutely no idea this village was there!" Xu Wenchu's gloomy face flushed slightly.
"I didn't sense this village! How is that possible! Aren't you a guide? How could you not be able to see this village?" Zhao Hai also looked puzzled.
He did not suspect that Xu Wenchu was lying to him. Firstly, Xu Wenchu would not joke about such an important matter, and secondly, there was no need to!
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Xu Wenchu was also speechless.
"Could it be that we've encountered some strange rules again, like in that apartment last time?" The old man asked with a worried expression, as if he had just thought of something.
"It can't be that bad! Our luck can't be that bad!" Wang Hu said, seemingly a little scared.
The rules are bizarre!
Wang Hu would rather face a Level 2 Weird than a Rule-based Weird.
After all, faced with such bizarre rules, his Sequence 2 strength was completely unleashed.
It also takes a lot of lives to test the bizarre rules. No one would want to go through that again!
"Wait, look! There seem to be living people in this village!"
As the car drew closer, Zhao Hai addressed the group.
Through the swirling snow, the group could vaguely see dozens of houses scattered in a sheltered mountain valley not far ahead, their roofs covered with a thick, exceptionally white layer of snow.
But there was no snow on the village roads, as if someone had deliberately cleared it.
What shocked them even more was that they seemed to see people walking on the village roads.
"No way! It's been months since the apocalypse, how could there still be living people in the village? Is there nothing strange about this village? That's just too damn ridiculous!" Xu Wenchu said in disbelief.
"I don't know, but it seems there are really living people in this village. Look, the white gas rising above the village, doesn't it look like cooking smoke?" The old man didn't drive himself, nor did he sit in the back seat like Zhao Hai. He sat in the passenger seat and looked around more carefully.
"Hey! Old man, now that you mention it, it's true!" Zhao Hai nodded in agreement.
"Shall we go take a look?" Su Wanyue suggested.
"Maybe we should just forget about it! Even a guide like Captain Xu can't sense this village, so it might be quite dangerous inside. We don't need to take the risk!" The old man was clearly terrified by the strange apartment incident last time. Once bitten, twice shy!
Actually, it's not the old man's fault. If it were anyone else, the situation would probably be similar. A team of extraordinary members died in the face of that bizarre rule, leaving only himself. Anyone would be scared in that situation.
"Going in to take a look isn't a bad idea. Even if there's a Level 2 monster inside, with our strength, even if we can't defeat it, escaping shouldn't be a big problem!"
If the rules are bizarre, that would be even better. Last time I encountered a level 2 bizarre rule, I didn't have enough sign-in points. Otherwise, if I had enough sign-in points, I could have killed that bizarre rule.
After all, once you know all the rules of the Mysterious Rule, killing it is not a difficult task.
When they kill the Rule-Bound Monster, Zhao Hai and his team will be able to obtain a piece of its strange material. Zhao Hai still doesn't know what the strange material on the Rule-Bound Monster looks like!
In fact, Zhao Hai was even hoping that there were some strange and unusual rules in this village!
Of course, Zhao Hai would never tell Xu Wenzhu and the others what he was about to say.
Seeing the disagreement among the group, Xu Wenchu turned to Wang Hu, "Hu Zi, what do you think?"
Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue clearly wanted to go into the village to take a look, but the old man didn't want to take the risk, fearing that there might be some strange rules in the village.
"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look!" Wang Hu said nonchalantly.
Although Wang Hu seems a bit simple-minded, he is not stupid.
He and Su Wanyue both knew that Zhao Hai must have some means to know the weaknesses of the strange creatures. The strange apartment and the strange symbiotic relationship between the bronze mirror and the well were the best examples.
In addition, Zhao Hai is usually a very cautious person who doesn't like taking risks. His initiative to enter the village must have some other reason, so Wang Hu also decided to enter the village.
In fact, Zhao Hai guessed that there must be some strange rules governing this village, given the bizarre scene before him.
Otherwise, if what Xu Wenchu said is true, it has been several months since the apocalypse, but this village still looks like it was before the apocalypse. Who would believe that?
Hey!
The level 2 rule is bizarre. As long as you kill it, the bizarre materials on the rule's body will make all the points Zhao Hai spent on exchanging for bizarre weaknesses worthwhile. In fact, you could say Zhao Hai made a huge profit.
After all, rule-breaking creatures are not common. Encountering one requires a lot of luck, let alone killing it. It is extremely difficult for an average team to survive against a rule-breaking creature.
In comparison, the thirty sign-in points that Zhao Hai spent were nothing at all!
