Suddenly, a series of children's screams came from the village entrance. The sound was so sharp that even the noise of the harvesters could not cover it.
"That is …" Guo Pengbin, who was drinking mung bean soup by the side of the field, was stunned. His expression changed at the same time as Yu Qi. The unfinished mung bean soup fell to the ground. The two of them ran toward the village. Li Rongqin and the rest did the same.
However, Guo Pengbin only took a few steps before he fell to the ground due to his hasty footsteps. He was covered in mud, and his hands were bruised. Blood flowed out.
The children's screams continued, and there were also the barking of dogs and the shouting of adults. There was a sense of terror in all of them.
Guo Pengbin struggled to get up and continued to run. What was that sound? Amid the chaos, there was a strange whine …
He had heard this sound on the television and on the streets of Eastern State City. This was … the sound of a mutant …
"Ah." Yu Qi was already crying. The sound could only mean one thing: a mutant had appeared in the village. Guo Pengbin also realized this. He shouted at Li Rongqin and the others while picking up a pitchfork that was used to pick up rice stalks from the roadside. Everyone else also realized this and picked up the pitchforks and other things that could be used as weapons.
When they ran into the village, they realized that everyone in the village was shaken, but the elders had no idea what was going on.
Guo Pengbin's head was buzzing. His body seemed to be unable to move at one moment, as if it did not belong to him at all. The next moment, it would explode with energy and push him forward. Finally, he saw a dog running on the stone path between the yellow mud houses, and a child crying loudly by the side of the road.
He saw Little Tiger, Little Vegetable, and the rest were there. Xuan Xuan was also fine, as he had fallen by the side of the road.
"Dad!" His two children shouted as soon as they saw him.
He also saw that at the entrance of the village, some elders were fighting the strange figure with miscellaneous items that could not be considered weapons. The strange figure moved slowly, not in a hurry to finish them off. However, when it exerted a little force, it shook off the elders who were working together to trap it.
Yu Qi's parents were among them. They fell heavily to the ground. The elderly could not withstand a fall, and their bones were broken. They could not get up and could only wail in pain.
Yu Qi, who was running, suddenly let out a cry of grief and anger. She was worried for her child and anxious for her parents.
"Take the children away!" As Guo Pengbin told her to run away, he rushed forward and shouted again, "Rong Qin, we'll hold it back. You go and hit it with the car!" One look at the Mutant and they could tell that he was not someone they could handle with their physical strength. However, driving a car was different. That was their only chance …
Guo Pengbin and a few other able-bodied men rushed forward, the pitchforks in their hands aimed at the Mutant. However, before they could do anything, the Mutant leaped into the air. Before Li Rongqin could reach his car, the Mutant grabbed his right arm and threw it away. His right arm was broken.
Li Rongqin screamed miserably as he was sent flying in the direction where they had waved their pitchforks.
Guo Pengbin hurriedly moved his fork away and broke out in a cold sweat. However, he was hit by Li Rongqin, who was flying towards him. Suddenly, both of them fell to the ground and could not get up.
On the other side, the Inhuman grabbed the front of the car and flipped it over.
Everyone was stunned. That kind of power … it could not possibly be some kind of brain disorder …
"You are too weak." The Inhuman made a strange and hoarse voice, as if it was mocking them, "As humans, you have completely lost your ability to attack. All you can do is scream. You are not human, you are a group of degenerated beasts …"
In shock and anger, they stopped and did not move forward. They were indeed no match for the Inhuman …
Guo Pengbin struggled to get up again. He looked at Yu Qi, who was hesitating and had not gone far, and said anxiously, "Run …"
On the other side, Yu Qi seemed to have woken up from a dream. She dragged the children and ran towards the Mutant. However, at the same time, the Inhuman's bloodshot eyes looked forward and suddenly rushed forward. Its explosive speed made it impossible for them to stop it.
Guo Pengbin stumbled as he ran forward. His heart had already been torn apart.
Li Rongqin also screamed at the top of his lungs, but they could not stop it. They could not imagine what the Inhuman was going to do …
Compared to the Inhuman, the children ran very, very slowly … In the blink of an eye, there was no distance between them.
At this moment, with a sudden bang, the ugly head of the running mutant exploded, turning into a splatter of flesh and blood. The ugly body swayed a few times, then fell to the ground with a loud crash, a pool of blood flowing from his broken neck.
This change caused everyone at the entrance of the village to be stunned again.
Yu Qi, who was dragging the children, turned back to look and then she slowly stopped …
'That is?' Guo Pengbin was dumbfounded. 'Gunshot? Wait, it's the gunshot he heard on the television. Someone fired … What happened? '
"Phecda's people are here, Phecda's people are here!" Someone cried out in joy. It was the person who called Phecda's hotline earlier. The group was overjoyed but at the same time, they were confused. 'How could they be so fast? It was at least half an hour's drive from the town to this small village … '
They struggled to help those who had collapsed to the ground. No one dared approach the Inhuman's body. 'Is it already dead?'
Soon, the group saw a convoy appear at the end of the bumpy road. The Phecda logo was on every vehicle. At the front of the convoy was an armored vehicle with a sniper rifle. Finally, they were able to cheer with relief. They screamed for help but it was enough to express the excitement in their hearts.
"Help me!" Guo Pengbin waved his hands. There were several elderly who appeared to have broken bones and there were also children who were too scared to get up.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy arrived. An armored vehicle with a medical insignia stopped by the roadside. Immediately a team of medics came down to treat the elderly. Those who were not seriously injured were given debridement and stitches. Another team of Phecda members went to deal with the body of the inhuman on the ground. The children were led onto a transport truck. Some of them were still crying while others refused to make a fuss.
Guo Pengbin and Yu Qi's hearts relaxed. This time, they were saved.
But they were still confused. 'How did they arrive so quickly? Furthermore, with so many people, they appeared to be heading this way … '
There was a place in their hearts that had become empty again. They were like wandering souls in the wild. River Tail Village was no longer safe …
