Doomsday female supporting role

Chapter 282: The hospitable host

In the forest, the trees are tall and the branches are lush. Even the brightest sunlight can only pass through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and scatter sparsely on the grass.

A blue fluorescent light passed through the air and fell on a weed, which looked particularly eye-catching in the dark forest.

It turned out to be a pink beetle.

Suddenly, it seemed to be disturbed by something. The elys spread out, revealing its colorful hind wings like the scales of a butterfly. The hind wings, which were shining with blue light, flapping a little bit of scale powder, and soon flew away.

Xia Qing suddenly opened her eyes, and the slight whispers in her ears gradually faded away, replaced by the sound of gurgling water and the sound of birds and insects, and the tip of her nose was a rotten mud smell.

She lay on a grass, and she raised her right hand to block the mottled spots of light that fell on her face. The silver bracelet shone softly in the light.

Xia Qing tried to recall the sounds that had been in her ear before, but found that she had failed. The repeated syllables and strange pronunciations seemed to be in any language she knew, and could not be repeated or interpreted.

She sat up with her feet, with tender grass under her palms, and her eyes were full of rich green.

After standing upright, she looked around while moving her body.

I didn't feel anything strange about my body, and I had nothing else on my body except silver bracelets and clothes.

This woods should not be the woods they passed by when they headed to the underground laboratory.

In this way, although she destroyed the illusion built by the monster, she seemed to have fallen into another illusion.

The previous mystery has not been solved yet.

For example, the strange light that made her feel a great threat and suddenly appeared and disappeared. At that time, the feeling of something in her body being pulled away was not an illusion, although she did not feel any abnormality now.

What exactly is the monster disguised as "Hu Shan"? What is the connection with the twelfth "person" who suddenly appears in the team?

Or, the two are originally one.

Then what is His purpose?

The goal has not been achieved yet, and He will definitely wait for an opportunity to act.

If you want to break the illusion and return to reality, you may only find the way if you find Him.

Xia Qing followed the sound of water. Since she had not found any clues for the time being, she would act on her intuition.

The sound of water in her ears gradually became louder and her vision suddenly became clear. She saw a river.

In survival in the wild, water sources are essential survival materials and can also point out the direction for survivors to survive.

Suddenly, Xia Qing's gaze frowned and her brows slightly frowned. The river was not wide, and there seemed to be someone behind the big rock near the other side, but because her vision was blocked, she could not see clearly.

She threw a stone on the other side, hitting the man where he was exposed outside the stone, but the man had no response.

She looked at the river again. The river was not deep and a little turbid. She could see strange-looking fish swimming in the water. In the apocalypse, animals and plants all had mutated to varying degrees, so it was not surprising that strange fish were, but sometimes the dangers in the water were more difficult to predict than on land.

There are several stones exposed to the water in the river. The surface of the stones is flat and smooth, obviously not caused by the erosion of the running water. It seems that someone often crosses the river by stepping on these stones.

Xia Qing jumped up and landed on a stone, and several of them were approaching the other side. At this time, she finally saw clearly the figure lying prone behind the stone.

A woman, black clothes and black pants, short hair, half of her body was soaked in water, her right face exposed was black, yellow, dry and thin, and there were several scars. It turned out to be Huang Xiaoying.

After being surprised, it is not a surprise to meet teammates, but to be alert.

Just as she was about to jump to the shore, there were abnormal water ripples on the river surface.

Is it a snake?!

It went for the unconscious Huang Xiaoying.

Its speed is extremely fast, and Xia Qing is still a distance away from Huang Xiaoying, so there is no time to rescue him.

At this moment, the snake in the water suddenly jumped up, and the thick black snake had several membrane wings on its back. The snake's mouth opened with sharp fangs and bit towards Huang Xiaoying.

Just as the snake kiss was about to fall on Huang Xiaoying's body, the sound of breaking through the air sounded. Two stones flew inches from the air, one hitting the black snake's seven inches and the other hitting the snake's head.

The black snake in the air suffered and smashed back into the river, splashing large splashes of water.

Xia Qing picked up the stones on the shore just now.

After a brief calm, the water surface fluctuated abnormally again, this time it was for Xia Qing.

With the stones she was standing as the center, circles of ripples were shaking. If she was fighting with a snake in the water, she would not have the advantage.

As soon as she made a quick decision, Xia Qing jumped up again, and after she landed on the ground, she rolled. At this moment, a pit was smashed out of the ground behind her and stones splashed.

The black snake failed to hit the attack, shaking its head, bent its upper body and wanted to attack again, but its movement suddenly froze. The next moment, the triangular snake head rolled to the ground, and a large area of ​​blood scattered, and some dyed the river water red.

Xia Qing took back the silver wire. The silver wire was made of special material and did not touch the blood. She did not dare to delay and quickly dragged Huang Xiaoying off the shore.

Sure enough, a short while, the water surface began to churn, and the torso that had lost the snake's head was suddenly dragged into the water by a strong force. The next moment, more blood red was spreading in the river water, and the river water became even more turbid.

It seems that the river water is deeper and more dangerous than she sees.

Everything returned to peace, except for the blood and snake heads on the shore, which showed what had just happened.

Seeing that it was temporarily safe, Xia Qing squatted beside Huang Xiaoying and checked her condition.

It should be just a sleepy day.

Just as she was about to wake up Huang Xiaoying, a sound came from the woods not far away.

Judging from the voice, there should be only one person, a man, with a little heavy step and a bit cautious.

Xia Qing quietly looked at the woods not far away, pressing Huang Xiaoying's right shoulder with one hand and holding a few stones in the other hand. Soon, a middle-aged man holding a hunting rifle came out with a look of vigilance.

The man is wearing a long-sleeved plaid shirt, tall, fat, thin hair, and a typical Western appearance.

When he saw the blood and snake head by the river, his face looked frightened, and then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw two women.

He slowly put down his hand with the gun, walked two steps towards Xia Qing and the others, but did not dare to approach the river bank: "Hey, girl, what happened? Do you need help?"

Spanish? Western?

The man should have been attracted by the movement just now.

Xia Qing looked at the middle-aged man, but still replied in Chinese: "There are wild beasts, my friend was a little scared."

However, even in different languages, communication is free of barriers.

"Oh, that's so scary, where are the beasts going now?"

Xia Qing said again: "One of them died, and the other escaped into the river."

The middle-aged man frowned and showed an anxious expression: "It's dangerous here, we must leave as soon as possible. My home is not far from here, and your friend may need a cup of hot tea and a hot towel."

Xia Qing did not hesitate and carried the sleeping Huang Xiaoying on her back. Huang Xiaoying looked thin but had a body full of tendons and had a very good weight.

Seeing Xia Qing easily lifting Huang Xiaoying up, the middle-aged man did not show an unexpected look, but stared at the river uneasy.

As the middle-aged man said, his home was not far away. When he walked through a forest, Xia Qing saw the house surrounded by fences.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and a layer of mist gradually spread in the forest.

The appearance of the house is very ordinary, and there is a huge pit of earth not far from the house.

In the front yard surrounded by a half-man-high fence, a brown pony was tied to a tree. The pony looked a little uneasy and raised its upper body from time to time, trying to break free from the constraints.

Not far from the big tree where the horse is slings, there is a well.

In addition, the weeds in the yard seem to have not been pruned for a long time.

Along the way, the middle-aged man briefly introduced the man. The man was named John Gardner, who lived here with his wife, son and daughter, and a family of four.

The three of them entered the room, and the room was a little messy. The dishes that had not been cleaned were piled in the pool, the clothes were thrown randomly on the back of the chair and the backrest of the sofa, and a blanket was piled in a corner of the sofa.

Xia Qing held Huang Xiaoying and lay flat on the sofa, with some white animal hair stuck to the sofa and blanket.

This room doesn't seem to have a hostess, or something happened to the hostess...

At this moment, a strange noise came from the rooftop.

John put out his shotgun and turned around, showing concern: "Lily, my wife, she lives in the attic when she is sick, and my daughter is taking care of her."

Then he said: "Xia, I'm sorry, the house is a little messy, I really should clean up."

"I'll pour you some hot water, by the way, there are hot towels."

Xia Qing thanked John and stood beside the sofa. A photo was placed on the low cabinet next to the sofa. In the photo, John was hugging a woman, and two children stood in front of them, a teenage girl and a younger boy, and a puppy in his arms.

The little girl in the photo made her feel familiar inexplicably.

At this time, John came over with two glasses of water. Seeing Xia Qing looking at the photos, he smiled and said, "Are they very cute? My daughter Melin and son Jim."

Melin Gardner? Coincidence?

Xia Qing took the water cup quietly and thanked him again.

At this time, John rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and the exposed skin of his arms had several ulcers and red spots. The wound was covered with ointment, which looked a bit scary. The skin of his hands was as dry as bark.

Suddenly, there was another intermittent sound from the attic.

John looked towards the attic, his face gradually became anxious from anxiety. He looked at Xia Qing and Huang Xiaoying, as if he was hesitant.

Xia Qing was about to ask, but she noticed someone was approaching outside the house.

"Someone is here," she said.

Sure enough, there was a short while before the door was knocking outside the house.

The uninvited guest made John a little alert. He picked up his shotgun and went to the door, looked out through the cat's eyes, asked a few questions before opening the door.

The people who came were Wei Sheng and Yue Pingchuan.

At this time, the movement in the attic became even greater. After John let the two of them into the house, he rushed upstairs with his hunting rifle.

After entering the room, the two of them saw Xia Qing at a glance, and both looked surprised and suspicious. At the same time, Huang Xiaoying on the sofa woke up slowly.
