Chapter 9 Yin Bella

Deep in a lush forest, a stone wall made of stones of different sizes surrounded this small camp in a square shape.

There is a thick wooden door at the north and south ends of the stone wall.

At this time, two figures were standing under the wooden door in the south. Wang Wu stared at the stone wall and door in front of him, slightly lost in thought.

On the observation deck at the gate, a young man cautiously stuck his head out, with a look of caution on his face.

He glanced at Wang Wu, then fixed his gaze on Luo Peng beside him, and shouted with surprise
  "It's Brother Luo!"

"Open the door quickly! Brother Luo is back!"

"Brother Luo is back? Go and inform the eldest sister!"

"It's Brother Luo, brothers, open the door quickly!"

After Wang Wu followed Luo Peng into the camp, people passing by along the way greeted Luo Peng from time to time.

Luo Peng just nodded slightly, but Wang Wu behind him was a little surprised by the scene around him.

On the way, Wang Wu saw leather tents of different colors scattered on both sides of the camp.

Under a four-cornered tent not far away, I even saw a huge stone stove on top, with thick black smoke rising, and the flames inside were burning fiercely.

At this time, next to the burning stone stove, there was a big man with muscles all over his arms.

He was using long iron tongs to reach into the stone furnace and slowly pick out a piece of red-hot iron.

Place it gently on the stone anvil, pick up the hammer nearby and start pounding it violently.

When Wang Wu looked over, the big man grinned and showed a simple smile. Then he knocked down hard with the hammer, and a "dang-dang" sound came from outside the tent from time to time.

On the other side, a tent was pitched in front of a small wooden house.

On the wooden table under the tent, there were some irregular crystal ores, and it could be seen that it was a pavement.

At this time, there was an old man sitting in the tent, holding a blue stone and looking at it carefully.

What surprised Wang Wu the most was a small stall next to this shop.

He actually saw a man wearing armor, holding a black stone in his hand, talking to an aunt about something.

If you take a closer look, Auntie's stall is full of knives and some leather clothes. It's not accurate to say that they are clothes, but in fact they are more like leather armors.

This is? arms! And armor!

Damn it! And rifles! What's going on? !

As he passed by each stall and looked at the weird gadgets that he had never seen before the disaster, Wang Wu couldn't help but have an expression of surprise on his face.

Looking at this "small village" that was beginning to take shape, Wang Wu felt a little amazed in his heart.

He had thought about these camps. At most, they were just some wandering survivors setting up tents here to provide a trading platform for bartering.

But I didn't expect the lively scene in the camp and the wide variety of commodities and supplies. Not only was Wang Wu dazzled, he was even amazed.

Passing through these busy figures, follow Luo Peng as he moves slowly.

Wang Wu could see some simple wooden houses standing neatly and orderly near the center of the camp.

They seemed to be built around the tall wooden house in the middle. From time to time, some people wearing leather clothes and carrying short knives could be seen entering and exiting the wooden houses.

Human beings are really a tenacious and unyielding race, even after experiencing such a harsh post-disaster environment.

They can still use their hands and courage to create a new world of their own!
  Wang Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a while, Luo Peng, who had been silent along the way, suddenly stopped.

"arrive!"

……

Outside a large wooden house in the center of the camp, half of the house wall was built with countless stones, and a few wisps of smoke slowly floated out of the large chimney.

"That's how things are." After saying this, Wang Wu spread his hands helplessly.

At this time, six people were sitting on the long wooden table in the room.

The person sitting at the head of the table was Luo Peng. There were two men sitting on the left side of the table, and a man and a woman sitting on the right side.

Wang Wu is now sitting at the other end of the table, directly opposite Luo Peng.

The way he was sitting upright made the woman beside him couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, you don't have to be nervous."

The woman with ponytail and wheat-colored skin covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You are the one brought back by Lao Luo, so naturally you are one of our own!" the woman continued.
  One of our own? Wang Wu looked confused. He had no idea what Luo Peng wanted to do by bringing him here. !
  "Brother Luo, are you sure you want this kid to join us?"

At this time, in the seat opposite the woman, a tall man was looking at Wang Wu with wide eyes.

Seeing that Wang Wu did not speak, several people in the hall began to talk in various directions.

Looking at these strangely dressed people in front of them, they were arguing about something with red faces.

Wang Wu had never seen such a scene before and quickly turned his attention to Luo Peng.

"Okay, everyone be quiet!"

Luo Peng, who had been bowing his head in thought, seemed to notice Wang Wu's gaze, and he raised his hand to interrupt everyone.

"Everyone must already know what happened!" Luo Peng stood up and said to everyone

"Brother Wang Wu was attacked by a small tribe of wild barbarians near the 'Shilong Market' before. This incident is definitely not an accident!"

As he spoke, Luo Peng turned his head and glanced at Wang Wu, then continued.
  "As fellow pioneers, you must have felt it too! There have been frequent movements in the Silver Plains south of the camp recently."

"Brother Luo, hasn't the Silver Plains been controlled by that guy Shi Long? Does what happened like this have anything to do with them?"

The tall man who was glaring at Wang Wu before asked nervously.
  "We can't rule out this possibility!" Next to the woman with the long ponytail, a handsome man with short hair said in a low voice.

"After all, Shi Long took some people away because he had different ideas with Lao Luo.

Who knew he would establish a survivor trading bazaar in Silver Plains. Over the past year or so, it has been very impressive! "

The woman with long ponytail and wheat-colored skin said in a faint tone

"I always feel like something is wrong. Is it possible that Shilong is conducting some strange experiment?

Actually, what I want to say is, is it possible that that old Huang is working on some new human research project? "

Another young man in a brown gown gently pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly

"You said that, but I remembered that before Lao Huang left with Shi Long, I happened to pass by his laboratory.

I heard what he was saying to himself, if there were living bodies of new humans and barbarians, he would have a way to develop bioelectricity! "

One of the men with a black dragon tattoo on his arm said coldly.

Listening to the topics discussed by these people gradually deviating, Wang Wu seemed very uncomfortable sitting there.

At this moment, he just wanted to end it quickly and leave here as soon as possible.

As if sensing Wang Wu's anxiety, Luo Peng said: "Okay, let's not discuss these for now. Let's talk about you first! Wang Wu!"

Luo Peng stood up and waved his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion.

"You ask me why I want to help you, then I can tell you now...!"

Luo Peng stared at Wang Wu with a serious face at this time.
  "I need your help!"

"I reject!"

Wang Wu decisively rejected Luo Peng's invitation.

After hearing what these people had just discussed, he probably knew that these people were mainly Luo Peng.

And they seem to have some conflicts with the people in Shilong Market. Based on this, it can be inferred that the leader of Shilong Market is very likely to be a new human being.

Coupled with what happened to Zhang Xiaolan before, Wang Wu now felt a little wary when seeing strangers. Wang Wu is very clear about how much he weighs, and besides, he is not a fool.

Luo Peng would not be incited by his few words.

Even if I am a new human being, even if he saves me, I have no obligation to wade into this muddy water!

Wang Wu was thinking secretly in his heart, just as he was thinking about how to escape.

But Luo Peng said lightly: "Okay, don't force it. You can leave at any time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come here to find me. You are always welcome here!"

So simple? Did you think that Luo Peng was going to force me to stay after he failed? It's not a scam, right?

Wang Wu looked at Luo Peng with some suspicion.

Luo Peng watched Wang Wu open the door and leave in silence, then sighed and sat down.

"Lao Luo, you just let him go like this?" The woman with the long ponytail looked at Luo Peng with a strange look and asked
  Luo Peng didn't answer, he just sat there staring straight at the table in front of him.

There is a yellow leather drawing on it. You can see that the pattern on this drawing is somewhat similar to the drawing in Wang Wu's hand, but it seems to be more comprehensive than the map in Wang Wu's hand.

Luo Peng stared at a red star on the map and fell into deep thought for a moment.

……

At this time, a man with a stubbled face and messy hair was wandering around the camp curiously.

After questioning, Wang Wu found that in addition to barter, most of the transactions here used salt and sugar as currency.

He does not have these items on him now, and the only item that can be exchanged is a rusty dagger.

joke! This is his life-saving capital, and it is absolutely impossible to exchange it.

Looking at the dazzling array of supplies, Wang Wu finally gave up the urge to continue shopping because he was short of money.

Salt and sugar? When did these two gadgets become so popular in the apocalypse? Is there anything particular about it? Or does it have any effect?
  He can understand salt. He knows that those white-skinned barbarians are a little afraid of salt, but what is sugar used for? He couldn't understand it.

Just as he was about to walk to the camp gate, an indifferent female voice stopped him.
  "Wait!"

Several guards at the gate greeted the woman when they saw her coming.

"Big sister!"

"Sister Bella!"

……

Wang Wu turned his head and found that it was the woman with long ponytail in the wooden house before. He said with some vigilance: "Is there anything else?"

"Don't look like that, I won't eat you!"

After the woman teased, she pointed in the direction outside the door and said

"This is the south gate. If you go out from here and walk straight ahead, you will go to the Silver Plains, which is where you came before.

After the barbarian raid last night, that area should be safe for now, but you still have to be careful about the mutated beasts that may appear on the road.

To the left here is Dong'ao Mountain, which can be seen about 6 kilometers from here. Over Dong'ao Mountain is the boundary of Mugang.

But I don’t recommend you go there because Mugang is too close to the border of Beishan District.

If you go there, you have a high probability of encountering mutated giant creatures, and you may also encounter a tide of beasts! In other words, the northeastern region is actually more dangerous! "

Hearing that he could reach Mugang by climbing over the mountain not far away, Wang Wu suddenly thought of his wife and children whose life and death had been uncertain for so long.

His eyes fluctuated slightly, but they quickly calmed down.

Mugang! Yaoyao! Xiaobao! Are you still alive? At this moment, Wang Wu's heart was in turmoil.

Even if what he found was a pile of bones, this was at least the only obsession in his heart. If he did nothing, he felt that he would be sorry for his wife and children, whose lives were uncertain.

But after hearing the woman say that there were mutated creatures over there, they might also encounter that beast tide.

Not to mention anything else, just encountering mutated creatures is enough for Wang Wu. If he is unlucky and encounters a tide of beasts again, he will not be able to send it directly!
  Is this woman trying to scare me?

No, how did she know I was going to Mugang? Is she also a new human? Can you read minds?
  Wang Wu thought to himself, with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Are you really going to Mugang?"

The woman couldn't help but asked in surprise when she saw this.
  "How is that possible!"

Hearing this, Wang Wu's expression dimmed slightly.

"Are there any relatives or friends over there?"

As if aware of some changes in Wang Wu's expression, the woman sighed softly.

There are many survivors like Wang Wu who are looking for their relatives after the disaster, but the results are all terrible! ~
  Seeing that Wang Wu lowered his head slightly and did not respond, she continued

"My name is Yin Bella, you can call me Bella. In fact, before I came here, I was at the boundary of Mugang!"

After hearing this, Wang Wu slowly raised his head and stared at Yin Bella closely.

Seeing this scene, Yin Bella knew that she had guessed correctly.

After the disaster, unless there are close relatives elsewhere. Otherwise, ordinary survivors would not want to cross regions from dangerous wilderness to unknown areas.

"I was able to survive thanks to Lao Luo and the others. Mugang has now become a gathering place for mutant beasts.

If that's all, it's not very dangerous. The most important thing is... there is a mutant beast king there.

The mutant beast king has a strong sense of territory, and has strong mental power to suppress creatures lower than his own level.

That kind of pressure is like an invisible force field that can instantly immobilize any creature close to it.

And its mental power can also control some wild beasts to kill each other, which is why there are some beast tides in Mugang from time to time! "

As she spoke, Yin Bella seemed to be shaking with fear. She suddenly recovered and stared at Wang Wu quietly and said:

"After the current disaster, animal disasters are rampant. I don't recommend that you walk in the wilderness alone. Besides, it has been so long, and your relatives may not be there either."

When she saw Wang Wu's red eyes, Yin Bella stopped talking. Then she changed the topic and said:
  "I think you have some misunderstandings about Lao Luo. He has no bad intentions. He just wants you to join the camp and has no intention of getting you involved in anything else."

Wang Wu did not answer, but Yin Bella continued:

"Do you know why we new humans are called pioneers by the survivors?

Because we are extraordinary beings who received gifts from nature after the disaster! He is a pioneer in unknown territory. No matter how difficult and dangerous the future is, we need to do our best to open up! "

After hearing these words, Wang Wu looked solemn. He never hesitates to express his gratitude to those who show kindness.

But he never gets himself into trouble or danger. Before the disaster, this had always been his life creed.

But after the end of the world, he was once confused. He even believed that "gou" was the way to survive.

So during this period of time, no matter what happened to him, his main focus was to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

But because of Zhang Xiaolan’s incident, I had this experience. He has a more cautious attitude towards people and things.

But when he heard what Yin Bella said just now, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He understood why these people were still struggling to survive in the apocalypse full of suffering!
  It's faith! This is the reason why those survivors are willing to persevere!

Finding his wife and children is Wang Wu's only obsession now. After that, no matter whether he can find his wife and children whose life or death is uncertain.

So what will he do next in this apocalyptic world? Is it a battle of wits and courage with those sinister survivors? Or fight to the death with those ferocious mutated beasts?
  At this time, Yin Bella's words were like a beam of light in the dark night, illuminating his path that was obscured by fog, and at the same time quietly planting a seed in his heart!
  Wang Wu thought for a while and decided that with his current ability, he could not climb over Dong'ao Mountain alone to find his wife and children.

Furthermore, if you are unfortunate enough to meet the Beast King, then everything will be over.
  Thinking of this, Wang Wu already had a decision in his heart.

"Okay, you convinced me!"

 Adorable new author, please collect and recommend!
    As the storyline progresses, the story will gradually become more exciting.

  Because my writing skills are limited, I also hope that readers can give me your opinions!
    Your support and encouragement are the driving force for the creation of braised eggs!

  I wish you all good health, all your wishes come true, and everything goes well!
