On the other hand …
After a long and monotonous journey through the desert, the Underworld Frontline … finally arrived at a human settlement.
Compared to the desert stronghold that was the size of a small city, the place that Feng Bujue and the rest arrived at was more like a small village.
The village was located in the middle of a mountain gorge. The tall walls on both sides protected the people from the wind and the sun. It also allowed the village to avoid the eyes and ears of many bandits.
The various shacks, ledges, and caves that were closely integrated with the terrain formed the unique architectural style of the place.
The rabbits that lived there looked like the more peaceful residents. Most of them wore coarse clothing or woven fabric. Their body size was obviously different from the slave traders in the desert.
It wasn't that these villagers were different from those bandits and rabbits, but because this group of people (rabbits) relied on hard work to barely fill their stomachs, their physiques were naturally not as robust as those fellows who relied on robbing to fill their stomachs.
Dang dang dang dang dang!
"The slave traders are here! Everyone, hide! "
When the Underworld Frontline rode the motorcycle to the entrance of the mountain gorge, there was the sound of metal clanging in the village. They could clearly hear someone yelling from inside, warning the villagers.
"Brother Bujue … We seem to have been misunderstood …" Seeing this, Xiao Tan turned around and said.
"It's probably because we are riding the motorcycle," Feng Bujue replied.
"It could also be because the second division of Zombie Blade entered the village before us and said something to the villagers," Xiao Ling added.
"Huh?" With her reminder, Xiao Tan was immediately shocked. "Then wouldn't we be ambushed?"
"Don't worry …" Feng Bujue continued in a relaxed tone. "Even if Zombie Blade really did come to this village, they would at most say some bad things about us to the villagers. Obviously, you are overthinking this … Unless the enemy knew that we would come to this village, why would they ambush us? " He paused for a moment and continued, "Let's take a step back … Suppose they really knew that we were coming and planned to ambush us here …" He turned his head and gestured to the front with his eyes. "… Then, why would we see this scene of 'alerting the enemy'?"
"Oh …" Xiao Tan caught on quickly. "You are right …"
As they spoke, they had arrived at the entrance of the village, and the defense line formed by the villagers was already in place.
A "moving wall" made up of scrap metal, stones, and plastic products was put down to block the players' way. There were many protruding sharp objects on the wall, and it looked like it was a real thing.
Behind the wall, there was a row of 'fully armed' villagers, both men and women. Their weapons were mainly sticks and self-made spears (usually just a sharpened stone or metal spearhead tied to the top of a long stick). Their armor was a variety of simple sports protective gear and self-made shields (trash can covers, manhole covers, plastic plates, and so on. Some of the shields even had obvious holes in them). A few people with crossbows were probably the most powerful among this group of people (rabbits), but obviously, they were not enough in front of the players.
"Stop! You are a bunch of slave traders! Don't come near our village! "Before the players stopped the vehicle, they heard a feminine voice.
Feng Bujue took a closer look. The one who shouted was a female rabbit holding a crossbow in the middle of the defense line.
"Ah …" Brother Jue smiled slightly and replied in a more gentle tone, "Don't get me wrong, we are not slave traders." He pointed at the motorcycle he was sitting on. "We took this motorcycle from a group of slave traders."
Who knew, the other party followed up with another sentence, "Then you are robbers?"
In a sense … this logic was not wrong …
"No, no …" Feng Bujue still maintained his calm and kind attitude. Even though he was glared at by dozens of hostile rabbit aliens, he still appeared to be calm and composed. This calm and leisurely attitude … was undoubtedly part of his negotiation skills. "The four of us … are just travelers who came to your planet by accident. Because we were attacked by slave traders not long ago, we had to fight back with force. In the end, those guys were no match for us, so they left the motorcycle and ran away. "
"Who would believe you?"
"Don't think we are easy to fool!"
"Yes! Go back! Don't come near our village! "
It was obvious that these words alone were not enough to convince these NPCs.
"Haha …" Brother Jue naturally would not turn around and leave. He was brave enough, thick-skinned enough, and strong enough. No matter what they said … he would not leave. "Everyone … you have no reason to doubt my words." He spread out his hands and put on a very sincere look. "You see … we are not Bunny Planet people at all. Let me put it bluntly … What reason do we have to come to a barren planet to be robbers? "
After this sentence came out, the noise of the villagers quieted down a little because Feng Bujue was talking about common sense … Even if the villagers had a deep prejudice against outsiders, they could not deny this obvious fact.
"Everyone … we really do not have any malicious intentions. We just want to stay in your village and rest for a while." Feng Bujue saw that the attitude of the other party had eased a little, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot. "If you are worried that we will rob your food and water, then you can rest assured …" He said, bowing his head and winking at Xiao Tan.
Xiao Tan immediately understood and took out a few bags of snacks from his backpack. "Yes, we have enough food on us …" He seemed to suddenly remember something, and then took out a large bottle of mineral water from his backpack, held it up and said, "Look, we have water too."
As soon as they saw the bottle of water in Xiao Tan's hand, the eyes of the Rabbit Aliens turned red.
It had been a long time … a long time … since they had seen such clean and transparent water …
80% of the water used by the villagers came from wells deep underground. This water was more or less polluted, and the amount was not much. Most of it had to be used to irrigate crops, and only a small part could be used for drinking. And the remaining 20% … was treated and recycled water. You can imagine how it was recycled … Anyway, this water could only be used to wash things, not to drink.
In short … For these villagers who lived in the apocalypse and knew their place, a bottle of clean water was a luxury, far more valuable than gold.
And Xiao Tan did not expect that his unintentional action would become a stepping stone for them to enter the village …
"In that case … You wait …" The female Rabbit Alien leader was stunned for a few seconds, swallowed her saliva, and her attitude eased. "I have to ask the 'elder' first."
