PNB Chapter 223 They Eat People
Chapter 223 They Eat People
Helian Zhiyan nodded his little head. "Alright then."
What she really wanted to say was that when that cold-faced older sister came to pick her up, she would definitely have delicious food again; Sister Luo Zhi must have prepared a lot for her.
Besides her family, her older sister Luo Zhi was the one who couldn't bear to see her go hungry!
Thinking of Wen Luozhi, her eyes lit up like a doe's. She quickly finished the compressed biscuits in her hand and took out binoculars from her cloth bag.
She lifted the car curtain and looked into the distance. They didn't know where they were now. Ahead were some low, bare hills, and the camera lens was nowhere in sight.
Xia Yunshu found it strange, and Helian Zhiyan, seeing her curious expression, smiled and handed her the binoculars, saying, "Miss, take a look."
"This is called a telescope; Sister Luo Zhi gave it to me."
Xia Yunshu took it and, imitating what she had just done, picked up the binoculars and looked ahead.
Something that was originally far away suddenly appeared right in front of her, and she almost cried out in surprise.
She moved the binoculars away, and they moved far away again; she picked them up again, and they were right in front of her again.
"That's amazing!" she said, turning to Helian Zhiyan.
This little guy has mentioned "Luo Zhi" many times along the way, so he must be a wonderful person.
She picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance again, but what she saw shocked her, and she hurriedly took them down.
Thinking she had misread it, she rubbed her eyes and looked in the same spot again. This time, she snapped the binoculars away with a "click".
She pulled Xia Yunsheng to sit at the very back, and held Helian Zhiyan protectively in her arms, her voice trembling, "They...they're up ahead!"
Helian Zhiyan was bewildered by her sudden change in behavior, but Xia Yunsheng knew who "they" she was referring to.
Xia Yunshu tucked Helian Zhiyan into her arms and jumped off the carriage. The shadowy figure, who disliked the two sisters traveling together, didn't pay much attention to them at this moment.
Helian Zhiyan felt that Xia Yunsheng, who was holding her, was a little cold. She broke free from Xia Yunsheng's hand, picked up the binoculars, and looked in the direction that Xia Yunshu had been looking.
A group of people were coming towards them, but their clothes were tattered and they all looked fierce and menacing.
The person running in front had bloodshot eyes and one arm hanging limply, clearly broken.
Seeing their menacing approach, Helian Zhiyan quickly lifted the carriage curtain. At that moment, Xia Yunshu also arrived with her entourage. The two exclaimed in unison, "There are bad guys!"
The shadowy figure twitched its ears and whistled, followed by a series of whooshing sounds from not far away.
They surrounded the carriage with wooden stakes. Helian Zhiyan reached out her small hand, trying to pull Xia Yunshu onto the carriage. "Big sister, come on quickly, it's dangerous!"
Xia Yunshu shook her head and reached out to push her into the carriage. "Little brother, hurry up and get in. I'm fine."
She does have some martial arts skills, and if those bandits really charge over in a bit, she can help hold them off.
The two, one big and one small, were pulling and tugging at each other in front of the carriage. The shadowy figure, unable to bear it any longer, said in a low voice, "We've been sitting here for so many days, what's a little more?"
If Miss keeps dawdling and refuses to go in, then there will really be danger.
"Hurry up, miss, we're scared if you don't come up!"
Helian Zhiyan looked at her pitifully, and Xia Yunshu resolutely jumped onto the carriage, tightly protecting the two of them behind her, her hand gripping her bone whip tightly.
The sounds of fighting grew closer. The shadowy figure had intended to drive the carriage back a short distance, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a group of people heading their way.
Soon, the two groups of men rushed to the carriage. The one-armed man leading them laughed loudly, "We've been waiting for you!"
Several days have passed since they looted the last group of people, and here they are! After waiting for so long, people have finally arrived again!
Helian Zhiyan gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain. Even from this distance, she could smell a strange odor emanating from the one-armed man whose eyes were bloodshot.
She suddenly remembered that one night she wouldn't go to sleep and pestered her sister Luo Zhi to tell her a story. In order to scare her into falling asleep, she listened to an extremely terrifying story that night.
It's about someone who accidentally ate something and ended up with a drastic personality change, becoming bloodthirsty and eating people whenever they caught them. At the time, she was both scared and curious, and even asked, "What do people who eat people look like?"
Isn't this one-armed man exactly the same as the one Luo Zhi told her back then?
Looking at the others, their eyes were also red, though not as badly. They were even licking their lips as they stared at the shadowy figures!
Xia Yunshu quickly pulled her behind her. "Little brother, don't move around. It's dangerous outside!"
She recognized that voice all too well; it belonged to that perverted, awful man! She even saw him when she turned around!
Because one person failed to stop them, that damned man actually bit off a piece of flesh from that person's arm!
As she looked, that perverted, dead man was still grinning at her, chewing on that piece of human flesh!
It was too terrifying for her to tell anyone, and she never expected to run into them again after so many days.
Xia Yunsheng held Helian Zhiyan tightly in his arms, comforting her.
Helian Zhiyan gently tugged at Xia Yunshu's sleeve and said indignantly, "Miss, tell the shadowy figure to kill all these people!"
"They eat people!"
Xia Yunshu was clearly taken aback. Without asking how she knew, she silently poked her head out and told the shadowy figure.
Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure scrutinized them closely, its nose twitching as it understood.
He didn't move unless the enemy moved. He leaned against the carriage and didn't say a word, slowly wiping his sword.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the one-armed man couldn't wait any longer. He brandished his broadsword and signaled his men to charge forward, shouting, "Leave some survivors for me! Dead ones aren't good to eat!"
He'd had a really bad taste in his mouth for the past few days, and now that a two-legged sheep had come to give him a treat.
He charged towards the shadowy figure first, but before he could even see how the figure got there, his horse had its two front legs cut off.
The horse tumbled to the ground, throwing the one-armed man off. He scrambled to his feet, spitting out the mud from his mouth, and yelled, "Damn it! You're asking for it!"
He charged at the shadowy figure again, but the figure, holding his sword, didn't fight back and just dodged his blade, like he was toying with a monkey.
The man with the missing arm realized he had been tricked, let out two loud cries, and his eyes turned even redder.
He then mustered all his strength and slashed at the shadowy figure. Seeing that the shadowy figure was difficult to deal with, the others scattered and came over to fight him.
The first group of people also attacked, but as their numbers grew, they became outnumbered.
Xia Yunshu had sealed all the car windows shut and wanted to jump out to help, but Helian Zhiyan stopped her: "Miss, going down now would be suicide. Brother Black Shadow and the others are very busy and can't be distracted."
Xia Yunshu looked at her and saw that there was no fear on her little face, but rather some excitement.
Helian Zhiyan's little hands kept rubbing the round treasures in her cloth bag until they were worn to pieces.
Hehe, if things get really out of control outside, then she'll have to step in. This thing that Sister Luo Zhi gave me must be pretty good.
She reassured the two sisters, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. I'll protect you."
She patted her small chest with a confident air, but Xia Yunshu, thinking she was too young to understand the seriousness of the matter, gripped the bone whip tightly and didn't dare to blink.
