Chapter 254 Destruction
Song Nan couldn't believe the scene before him.

All are dead.

The hunters who were just chatting and laughing with him.

The huge monster ate all the hunters.

The better case is that the body is swallowed directly into the stomach, while the most painful case is that the arms and legs are torn off, but the person is still alive.

Song Nan started to escape again as he did many years ago.

At that time, he was running away to avoid the bullying of his fellow humans, but now he was running away to avoid a non-human monster he had never seen before.

In the past, if an escape failed, the food would be taken away and the person would be beaten.

If the escape now fails, it will be a death.

Song Nan ran and hid for his life. All the wailing and groaning gradually faded away, but the footsteps of the monster seemed to be approaching his ears.

But where to escape to?

I definitely can't go back to the village. Going back will only attract monsters...

Village?

Thinking of this, Song Nan suddenly reacted.

They are very close to the village. The hunters have all been killed. Can the people in the village escape?

He turned around and headed towards the village.

There was a strong smell of blood all along the way. The closer they got to the village, the stronger the smell became, and Song Nan's heart grew colder.

I didn't hear any dogs barking when I entered the village.

A silence.

Deathly silence.

Song Nan ran in panting, but suddenly he stepped on something sticky and his steps stopped.

There were brown-red bloodstains on the ground, and he suddenly felt afraid to move forward.

“Sister Hong——!”

“Uncle Song——!”

He, who usually doesn't like to talk, shouted desperately, almost at the top of his lungs.

No one responded.

There seemed to be some dark shadows lying not far away.

Song Nan actually wished he was blind so that he wouldn't be able to see those corpses, those badly mutilated corpses.

The village was littered with dead bodies.

Moreover, they were all incomplete bodies, some with broken limbs and scattered internal organs.

Maggots and flies swarmed around the blurry mass of flesh.

Song Nan couldn't recognize who was who, and didn't dare to recognize them.

He rushed to the door of carpenter Uncle Song's house, but saw that the two-story wooden house that Uncle Song was proud of was half broken, as if it had been stepped on from above by something.

Among the broken wood chips, there were three blurry bloody clumps of flesh close together...

Song Nan knew that Uncle Song had a wife and a daughter. Although he had always wanted a son to inherit his craft, he still loved his daughter very much.

Is it a dream?
Song Nan subconsciously took a few steps back, and the laughter of Uncle Song's family rang in his ears.

It's not just Uncle Song.

And other people in the village.

Those sounds, complex and yet full of tenderness and warmth, echo around my ears again and again.

"Xiao Song, Lin'er likes to run after you so much, does she want to be your wife?"

Because he often follows Uncle Song, everyone in the village calls him Xiao Song.

Lin'er is Uncle Song's daughter. She is eight years old this year. When she was little, she liked to run behind him.

"Xiao Song, how can we celebrate Chinese New Year without eating dumplings that I made? Come, take them back and eat them."

"Xiao Song, come to my house to stay up all night this year. I have many children and it's lively."

"Xiao Song, why are your pants torn? I have a lot of pants from Ergou's childhood, and I didn't throw them away. Do you want to take them back?"

"Xiao Song!"

"Xiao Song!"

Xiao Song!

Countless laughter, anger and cursing slowly turned into desperate cries before death. Song Nan covered his ears, and the blood in his body ran cold at the cries.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of footsteps shaking the ground came from far away and awakened Song Nan's mind.

He began to run again.

But this time, he was running like a puppet that had lost its soul, without any purpose, and running around like a headless fly.

The monster's footsteps seemed to stop as it approached the village.

Song Nan didn't notice it, he just kept running away, as if only in this way could he get away from those voices.

The only thing that caught his attention was a bright spot not far away.

"Brother, I'm scared."

When the girl's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, Song Nan didn't react at first.

His eyes and ears were still filled with the old people, old stories, voices and smiles in the village.

It was like a transparent barrier that surrounded him and he could not hear any sound from the outside world.

Until this voice became louder.

"Little brother!"

This sound completely pierced through the invisible barrier around Song Nan.

At once, all the ignored voices came flooding in.

The sound of the wind, footsteps, rustling leaves, and the girl's sobs.

The sound of a girl sobbing?

Anyone else?
Song Nan suddenly stopped.

I saw a little girl sitting in a pile of straw not far away.

Twin ponytails, pink skirt, fair skin, and pupils full of fear.

Song Nan had never seen this girl.

In extreme fear and collapse, the first message that popped into his mind was that there were still living people in the village.

He ran over, grabbed the girl without saying a word, and ran with her.

"Brother, I'm scared!" the girl sobbed and shouted behind him.

"Don't be afraid." Song Nan just kept saying, "Don't be afraid."

Song Nan held the girl's hand tightly, not realizing that his palms were sweating profusely.

The twelve-year-old boy held the twelve-year-old girl's hand tightly, as if he was holding the last hope of Fubao Village.

"Brother, I'm tired."

"I'm holding you."

"Brother...seems to be quiet."

Song Nan, who was holding the girl, finally stopped.

It was already dark and all around was quiet, with only Song Nan's rapid breathing echoing through the woods.

This was an unfamiliar forest, and Song Nan found himself running to a place where he could no longer tell the direction.

A faint fragrance suddenly lingered in his nose, and Song Nan noticed that it was the scent coming from the girl.

It seems... a little too fragrant.

Song Nan frowned slightly, as if something was wrong.

"Brother, let's find a place to rest." said the girl.

Song Nan's doubts were interrupted, and at this moment, he felt fatigue spreading through his limbs like a tide.

"Okay, take a rest," he said.

The two found a cave. Song Nan picked up some weeds from outside and simply spread them out to make a bed.

Song Nan still had a tinderbox on him that he brought with him when he went hunting, but he didn't dare to light it for fear of attracting the monster's attention.

The two could only move by moonlight.

"Brother, I'm hungry." The girl looked at Song Nan pitifully, with timidity in her voice.

Song Nan was so tired that he was about to faint. After hearing the girl's words, he searched his body and took out a piece of dried food.

The girl took the dry food without any disgust and started eating it in small bites.

The sound of the girl chewing dry food was very regular, repeating in his ears again and again, like a hypnotic song, which slowly relaxed Song Nan's nerves and he fell asleep in an instant.
