My ability pool is superior to others

Chapter 74 Small Town
For a hot air balloon, the only way to move it is by relying on the air currents in the sky.

Experienced pilots will constantly adjust the altitude of the hot air balloon to adjust its direction.

But there is no doubt that Lu Bai has almost zero experience in this area.

We can only go wherever the wind blows us.

……

The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun is blood-red.

On the country road, two figures, one in front and one behind, looked quite tired.

"Are you sure this is the right way to go?" Yao Yi hit his thighs twice and couldn't help but ask.

The hot air balloon landed in a far from ideal location, landing in a very remote ravine.

There was no village in front and no shop behind. I wandered around for almost two hours before I found this path with traces of human activities.

"Be patient."

Lu Bai smiled and comforted him.

As the hot air balloon drifted in the air with the wind, he carefully observed the scene on the ground.

If we continue along this road, we should see a small county town soon.

Yao Yi sighed, looking slightly puzzled: "Why don't we just call for help?"

"Then how do you explain your girlfriend's death? Did you tell the rescuers that your girlfriend turned into a monster?"

Lu Bai slowed down his pace, glanced at Yao Yi, and continued, "And have you forgotten that the monster is still inside you?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Yi's expression froze and he subconsciously reached out to touch his chest.

We walked for a while in silence.

He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Is there another reason? You must have a secret too."

"That's it."

Lu Bai nodded, and the long tooth appeared out of thin air in his hand. He flipped his wrist like a juggler, and the slender wild sword disappeared again.

In fact, all weapons obtained in the [Arsenal] can be actively stored.

However, only the original owner of the [Arsenal] can enjoy the benefit of this portability. Even if others take away the weapons, the system will not be equipped with this storage function.

This can be seen from the fact that Fan Ding took the sword out of thin air in the last round of the death duel and the duo in the supermarket casually handed over the gun.

Lu Bai was quite satisfied with this function. After all, a strange weapon like Long Fang would be quite conspicuous if he carried it with him all the time.

Watching a two-meter-long nodachi repeatedly appear, Yao Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart: "No matter how many times I see it, it feels magical."

beep~

The shrill sound of the truck's horn came from a distance, not very clear, but not to the point of being ignored.

"Did you hear that?" Yao Yi asked uncertainly.

"Well, it looks like we're almost there."

……

Jiangyu County.

A small county town with a permanent population of less than 100,000.

Since it is only about half an hour's drive from the city, young people in the county naturally choose to work and live in big cities.

The result is that people over 60 years old account for more than half of the county's population.

And in a county town like this, the nights are always a little longer.

As soon as the sun set, there were few pedestrians on the streets. The dilapidated street lamps emitted a dim light, which brought an indescribable sense of desolation.

A young woman in her early twenties rode a small electric scooter slowly across the intersection and stopped in front of a scrap recycling shop at the northernmost end of the county.

Woof, woof!

The Chinese native dog, about two or three years old, saw its owner and started barking impatiently from a distance, but was tied with a rope and could not pounce on him.

"Hehe, Pudding, do you miss your sister?" Tong Shujuan squatted down and began to rub Pudding's head angrily. However, abnormally, the local dog did not show her affection as usual, but continued to bark "woof woof woof", and the sound was getting louder and louder.

"What's the matter, Pudding?"

Tong Shujuan was a little surprised. She looked around and then noticed that there was no leftover food in the dog bowl next to her: "So he's hungry."

creak~

Just then, the side door was slowly opened.

Several elderly people came out of the house and looked at Tong Shujuan expressionlessly.

Among them, a man and a woman were Tong Shujuan's parents. Although the silent appearance of these elderly people was a bit strange, she didn't think too much about it.

He continued to squat beside the dog and looked up to ask, "Mom, did you forget to prepare dinner for Pudding?"

However, no one answered her, everyone just looked at her quietly.

The local dog barked even more fiercely and even bared its teeth at the old men.

"What...what happened?" Tong Shujuan gradually felt that something seemed wrong.

The old men looked at each other and then started chatting as if no one was around.

The first person to speak was Tong Shujuan's mother, her tone sounded very stiff: "We need younger bodies."

"Who of you wants to switch?"

"I need a replacement," said the old woman who looked to be at least seventy years old.

"can."

Tong Shujuan's father expressed affirmation: "Juan, Juan, come in."

The scene of several people talking fell into Tong Shujuan's eyes, making her feel a chill down her spine.

Especially some of the words in the old man's words, which made her scalp numb, and even her speech trembled uncontrollably: "You...are you kidding me?"

"No joke," her father said.

These are clearly my parents, why do I feel so weird? !

Tong Shujuan mustered up the courage to ask, "Then why do you talk like that?"

Hearing this, the old men looked at each other.

"She found out, question."

"Not yet, natural enough."

"This language is not easy to learn."

As they were talking, several people gathered around Tong Shujuan.

Seeing this, Tong Shujuan took out her mobile phone, pressed 110 on the dialing interface, and showed the phone screen to the elderly people.

She was panicked and scared, and her voice was faintly filled with tears: "If you are kidding me, stop it now!"

The old people ignored her and gathered around her stiffly.

At this moment, this silent scene seemed extremely terrifying in Tong Shujuan's eyes.

She was so scared that she started shaking all over and couldn't even hold the phone: "Enough... Stop!"

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

"Excuse me, but I'd like to ask if there is a restaurant nearby?"

Lu Bai looked at the scrap collection station curiously.

As the saying goes, "A horse will die if it runs too fast." Although he and Yao Yi saw the county town in the evening, it was already completely dark when they actually arrived at the small county town.

Standing at the intersection, he and Yao Yi looked around and saw that most of the shops on both sides of the road were closed. Only one grocery store still had its lights on, but there were no one watching over the store.

In this way, even though the situation at the scrap collection station next door seemed to be wrong, Lu Bai still decided to ask.
